Today I noticed that the power button does not work because when I can not unlock, but to remove and replace the battery automatically turns on what I'm thinking is that the power button got stuck
any idea?
Going to need alot more info. Where you running stock or custom rom?
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App
im not running a rom, i stay in stock rom.
all started when I received a text message and read the message, when I wanted to block it and not work the power button. I have noticed that sometimes it works with a few strokes with my fingers but it shows me if I turn off the phone. I believe that the power button is stuck
Sounds like a warranty exchange

when I put the battery automatically turns on, but if I keep pressing the 3 buttons combo I can enter recovery mode, but don't works power button in this mode =/
I'd try an clean around the button and if that works
I am not sure thus will do anything but if you can't get your phone running at all you can try to Odin flash stock to see if maybe it clears the problem. If you cab get into recovery then the power button works for something

yes that's the problem, i cannot get to enter to download mode Because the phone will automatically turn on
Try this. Take battery and sim out. Plug USB in. Hold volume up and down. Put battery in.

Inzombie, what exactly did you do? I have been having the same problem for quite some time...I was able to get into download mode using a program I found on the internet, and I flashed back to stock but the power button is still messed up, it doesn't work at all. What exactly did you do
i know this is an old topic but I have the same problem. I got this phone from a friend and now I cant use the power button. I have taken it apart twice now trying to fix it with no luck. I know it isnt the rom. The button is "stuck" but it still clicks. I know it is stuck because it will never turn off. Once battery is in it turns on, and for 3 button recovery, I only need to hold the vol rocker.
Ok so what happened was, I installed the Voodoo Lagfix + sound kernal for froyo and then I was having issues with the sound so I decided to just restore the phone back to stock. I put it into download mode via ADB, opened Odin and started it but somehow the cord got unplugged right when it says do not unplug. This has happened to me before so I have a jig that I bought online. It worked many times before but now when I take out the sim and sd and put in the jig with battery it just doesnt turn on. it says off and then if i hold the power by myself it boots into Phone..!..Computer. I cant do the 3 button download mode trick because I have flashed with odin before and it hasnt worked since then. What should I do? Should I just call Samsung and or att and just say my device got disconnected when updating?
EDIT :
I have already sent the phone to samsung, they said its going to take a total of 7 to 8 days for me to get my phone back. Thank you to everyone who helped
I read that if you remove the batt, put it back in then while holding just volume buttons in plug in the usb. Tried it and it went to dl mode for me. Hope this helps.

Thank you, I did that.
I was trying a new ROM installation and odin got stuck in between. It was in download mode.
I removed my battery and tried to switch back it on. Nothing is happening.
Please help me.
take battery out for at least 15 mins and then see if you can get into download mode
I took out the battery for 45 mints. Then put it back again and tried to get to download mode. But still nothing is happening. Is it fully bricked? What should I do now?
Is ur bat empty?

Before I started flashing battery charge was about 95%. Don't think it is empty.

Yes. Odin wasn't responding for sometime. So I thought to remove the battery and start all over again. When I did that all this happened
Try this: load your battery and after the Galaxy got warm try to get into download mode. This already helped some people.

Did you disconnect the phone while the blue progress bar was showing up on the phone screen, or before that? If you interrupted it during the blue bar, you probably bricked it. Otherwise, you should be able to get into DL mode. A jig may help.
I think the blue bar was showing when I interrupted it. and it was not moving. So is it a true brick? What should I do now?

In the above thread it is said
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you."
Mine is similar to this. Will it be a problem for me?

My Galaxy S froze today, as I reset it by taking the batt off, it would get past the loading Galaxy S screen.
I cannot get it either into recovery or download mode, i have tried every combo you can, dropped batt and in whilst holding buttons, I have tried inserting pc usb whilst doing the same, surely if its loading its recoverable, not sure about this jig thing??
Would rather fix it now!
Pls help guys n gals
Some phones didn't have recovery or download mode working from factory. Mine was like that but applied a fix just in case to avoid any future problems such as yours.
Seems like a jig is your only hope now. They go pretty cheap on eBay but if you can't wait then you can make one youself if you know how.
Good luck!

Plug phone into PC, if it still works you can force it into recovery or download mode by using ADB

Since this is the OP's first post, it might be a good idea to include a link to where ADB is explained.
Anyway, go to this post and then go to section 3.

The jig is cheap on eBay. I was hesitant of getting one when I was on eClair, but it has worked each and every time that I've used it.
Just find a seller that has sold a few with positive feedback, but yeah I got into download mode no problem using it where I was "totally locked out" before like where you are at...

Ignore the jig options because it is stupid and the adb option is better and easy! Search it to activate download and recovery then flash a gingerbread rom then galnet, you'll then wanna make sweet love to your galaxy

I was in the same situation a year ago, I couldn't make jig and it would take a nother day so I did the following:
Took a hairdryer , took the batt out of the phone, and used the hairdryer on the phones back(where the batt should be), then I think I placed the batt back, and applied the hairdryer again and it went into download mode !
If this doesn't work, just make or get a JIG, if you don't trust it , take ya phone to a Samsung Service Center (I'm lucky there's one 10km from my house)
Good luck !

The JIG is the best solution here!! it worked for me personally..not long ago!!! YESTERDAY!!! n thats the best 0.99$ dollars av ever spent...

solved my problems!!
+1 for ADB method, JIG is fine too but it's unnecessary if your PC can detect the phone when plugged in through the USB port, plus the JIG takes time to ship
dude!! i made a JIG in 10 mins!!
And ADB method takes less than a minute, plus, not everyone has resistors lying around the house.
fine!! relax man!! i was just suggesting!!
n y are the two of us bothering over this..the guy who started this post is lost!!!

Here's the full story.... my rear camera wasn't working so I went into twrp, made a back up and restored a previous. It didn't resolve the issue so I went back in to restore my most recent backup but it failed. No biggie, I backup to "the cloud" so I wouldn't lose anything I really needed. Reboot to system, get LG logo for a couple secs then security error right below it, the the device powers off. I'm on the second to newest TMo update that took away download mode so no luck there, device is not recognized at all when plugged in to computer and I can't boot back in to recovery although I could be doing it wrong, I always got to recovery from the power menu. So if someone could verify for me how to get into recovery using the physical buttons that'd be great. Also any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Try having your phone connected to a usb cable and just pressing the vol+ button it should get to download mode like this.

I woudnt give it back to lg if i was you mate, lg would charger mega buckets for it,
i suggest go to a local phone unlocking and repair shop as they would do it for cheap
I don't think there's anything a repair shop can do that I can't and if this thread is any indication there's nothing I can do lol. My guess is LG will swap out the motherboard. I'm thinking 150 at the most. I'm currently looking for another G Flex with a cracked screen, if I can find one at a decent price I may just do that myself.

No, I haven't but it appears in order for this to work the device would need to be recognized by a computer when connected, mine is not. I think this is what I should have done before I got the security error to get download mode back lol. Nevertheless I'll give it a shot this evening when I get home. Thanks for the suggestion.
