Hey guys.. Ummm.. I had a completely, perfectly, fine rooted Galaxy S. [I don't know if it's still rooted or not]
I'd installed Darky's ROM [5.6], and was gonna put in 6.0.
I decided to do a completely clean install for some reason [I don't know, I'm stupid.] and there's where I made the mistake. The phone got flashed n all through Odin, but now my 3 button combo doesn't work.
I searched for a fix, and it requires adb if I'm not wrong. Problem is, adb itself requires busybox and superuser. I don't have superuser in the phone [I suppose I can find it in the market, haven't checked.] but I was installing busybox, and it said that my phone's rooted but something's wrong [something about a nand or something] and that busybox can't be installed.
I want that ROM and I want my 3 button combo working again
Can someone please help?

Which ROM do you have now? If its Darkyy's, its pre-rooted, & has busybox.
Umm.. I don't think I know.
I just flashed the thing with this.. 'h t t p : // w w w. multiupload . com / XWDSKCPGTD' and the JM1 CSC file..
But it's certainly not Darky's..
Though I DID put in the 6.0 .zip file in the internal memory. Haven't installed it though [more like CAN'T install it ..]

Download Tuxility from the market. It has a Thread here in Dev too. You get options of normal shut down, reboot into recovery & into download.
Hope this helps.
I tried that
It doesn't start Force closes
Have you tried Quick Boot from the market?
Yep. I installed it, opened it, pressed Recovery.
Nothing happened
[in the description of the app, it said that root access is needed for it to work, and since the buttons weren't working, I think the phone's not rooted anymore]
I even pressed Download. Nothing happened there either
2.1 ROMs have a different way of entering into recovery & download. You press Vol up + menu + Pwr keys, & you get the splash screen, release the Pwr button for half a second & again keep it pressed till you go into recovery.
Otherwise, there is manual way of installing the superuser & busybox, you need to search the forum.
Umm.. It says it's 2.2
Still think I should try what you said?

For 2.2 you keep holding all the three buttons till the flash screen blanks & comes on, on the second blank screen, release the pwr button. If that doesn't work, try to do it at the third blank.
I pressed the menu and volume button simultaneously while the animation was going on, and I got this screen saying 'FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING' and a bunch of values on top [in red].
Apart from that, nothing

Oh oh.. One more thing. The power button does NOT turn the phone off! It just restarts it! [so I have to pull the battery out if I wanna turn the phone off]

Up or down volume button? I always press the combination of buttons before the phone starts and wait till I see the download/recovery screen.
Power + up + home => Recovery.
Power + down + home => download.
By the way, this thread is in the wrong forum.

Good luck!
If you want to reflash a clean install but having problems getting to recovery or download, try the homemade jig. I used it when I thought my phone was dead and it worked fine.
Basically, once you have the jig, power off the phone (battery pull in ur case) and insert the jig in the socket. After 2-3 secs it should boot to download. Then you are free to flash with odin. At this stage I recommend repartition etc to ensure a fully clean install.

Try this workaround, it worked for me:
First, root it with z4root, just download it from the market. Then install Clockworkmod from market. From that program flash clockworkmod recovery. Now you can enter recovery from menu in Rom Manager. Once in recovery, there's an option somewhere to go into download mode - and you can flash whatever you want from there
reflash your phone by odin.
I was running a custom droidthorey rom and wanted to go back to stock. So I went into my recovery via cwm and wiped data, cache and divik. the went into restore and fl;ashed back to an earlier point. Everything was going fine untill I rebooted. Now I cant get away from the dual core boot up screen. Ive tried to hold the volume rockers and power button and go into my recovery from there but i guess theres nothing there cuz I wiped data. Im at work so theres not a lot I can do but I just wanted to see if anyone had an idea on what I need to do from this point.

You cant even get into fastboot?
If I hold the volume rockers it will go into the boot up menu screen
If I hold the volume rockers it will go into the boot up menu screen
when i hold both sides of the volume rocker and hit the power button it will bring me to the boot up menu screen. but if i choose recovery a little triangle with a small android pops up. I did go into fastboot and it say ok to program, but im at work so i cant really do anything here. Anyone have any other ideas?

You're stuck till you get home bro. You have to use FXZ files to get back to stock.

When you are at the triangle with the android, hit both volume buttons to bring up the menu. From there, you can try:
Wiping data/cache again.
Reflashing a ROM by hitting "Install update from SD card"

when I do that it worked but what i flash has to be signed. I have no way to turn off verification. any signed roms out there I can install
wipe data/factory reset is the only option
Ok if you can get into fast boot i think you are ok but you have to use
R3L3AS3DRoot and 43V3R root for the BIONIC v2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279825
follow the instructions to get back to stock with or with out root its your choice
im not really sure what these outther guys are talking about but the bootloader is locked you can only flash the stock signed rom from fastboot after that you can install bootstrap or rom manager.. let me know if this works

I cant do anything like flash in my fastboot till I get home. But i can get my android system recovery up, And I do have roms on my sd card. They will not flash though cuz I guess there not signed.
DEAD battery
i had the almost exact thing happen to me,,,, but the battery died and it wont engage charging..... so am i gonna have to get a new on or find some fast way to charge it? i cant even try any of the previous examples :/
I've heard of Verizon charging batteries for people but I've never tried it. There is a USB hack to charge batteries but you also run the risk of destroying your battery in the process. If it was me i would pick up an extra battery and charger, always nice to have.

i jz install bindroid full wipe, wiped data,cache,calv,bettery stats,
then i rebooted my phone.
after that, the screen shows only "bb.anzhi.com", the power button and volume button are not working at all, its just stucked...
someone help please =(
Have you actually flashed a rom to the phone? Because to me it looks like you've just wiped everything and not flashed a rom. What rom are you on at the minute?
i was on WRE.. i did not flash any ROM that time.. i just rebooted it after wiped..
Have you already done the battery pull and restart into recovery again, does it work, can you use recovery again? If so just flash another rom and it should be ok, if not get phone into fastboot and try to flash the Paul O'Brien recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362648 Its better than the anzhi recovery
the power button is not responding.. i cant turn off my device.
is it ok if i just pull off the battery while its turning on?
Yeah it should be fine... I'm guessing its just the recovery thats at fault and once rebooted it should start working again
alright its fixed.. thanks alot vertigo!

Hi
I've been having problems with the HOME button on my phone. I've been running PA2.51 on it so thought it was probably the ROM. I went to flash the newer 2.99 ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115167
After I followed the instructions I rebooted the phone and now I'm stuck with loads of FC! I can't even reboot into recovery or download mode because the stupid HOME button doesn't work.
I don't know what to do??
Can anyone help or advise please? I'd want to get my files off the thing if I can't save it sigh

> connect ur phone to pc using usb..
> now run CMD on pc...
> now type "adb reboot recovery"....
> wait for it to work...

Install Philz kernel using recovery and do a factory reset.
Hi Everyone;
I unlocked my phone for flashing custom rom. After unlocking i reebooted it and was normal. Then i flashed cwm via htc one toolkit. It was successfull as well. Then i go to cwm and made factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache. Then i go to install zip from sd card but i could not find my rom file. Thought, it was deleted while unlocking device. Then decided to reboot phone again to copy rom file into the phone and reboot.
But, when i rebooted phone from cwm, it stuck on HTC Logo( Quietly Brilliant screen). Waited sometime, but nothing happened. Then i tried to power off it and boot into bootloader or recovery. I press and hold power button but it does not respond anyhow. When i am holding power button ,back and home buttons are blinking but nothing happens. Almost five minutes i waited as holding down power button but phone does not power off anyhow. i tried all methods like vol down + power, vol up + power and both volume keys + power. But really nothing happens, just blinking back and home buttons. That's all.
I can not simply power off device. :crying:
I also tried boot device via fastboot commands but it says "waiting for device" means computer does not recognize device.
Guys, i need an urgent help. Please...
just keep trying to reboot via holding power or power+vol down. if it doesnt reboot after 30 sec or so let go then try again. if that doesnt work you will have to wait for the battery to die. once you get to bootloader use all in one toolkit to erace cache. then boot to recovery and you rom should be there if not boot back to bootloader and sideload rom

First thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunatelly, power+vol down does not work at all. Maybe i tried 50 times.
Anyhow, after battery die. How can i boot into bootloader. I mean, can phone be charged again in this situation? Also, even if i manage to boot into bootloader or recovery how can i put custom rom file into phone. Actually, i did not use sideload or whatever you mentioned before.
I am serouisly confused now and don't know what to do.
Anyhow, as you said, firlst i need wait to battery die i think. Then i will report back whats happen.
Thank you again btw.

yes your not the first person with this problem. hold power+vol down to get into bootloader. press power button in bootloader to get in fast boot mode. use all in one toolkit to erase cache and side load rom. i recommend all in one toolkit because it automates the process. just select the option then follow on screen steps
Good to hear that i am not the first person That means somehow there is a solution i beleive. Still waiting for battery die. even i had 50 percent battery at the begining but still it holds on I never say again htc battery is bad
I exeprienced that stucking on boot logo several times before with my other htc phones but holding power + vol down/up worked always. This is the first time for me that i faced with power button can not power off device.. Well, ,i hope i wish i can handle out this problem. Definetley with your help.

I am having the same problem and don't know what to do :crying:
Today I just got my One. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed Android Revolution rom. Everything worked fine for a while... I wanted to reinstall the rom because I wanted to change some options in the installer - I did not wipe because it was the same rom (big mistake I guess!!). After making the installation option changes, when it was done it proceeded to reboot but now I am stuck in a white HTC logo boot loop hell... (with the red text at the bottom that says "this build is for development purposes only" etc). Holy crap I never had a phone that I could not remove the battery. I cannot get this back into recovery or ANYTHING, it just keeps looping... computer recognizes it, no problem with drivers or anything it just doesn't stay connected long enough (because of the constant looping) to be able to use the toolkit.
PLEASE any advice?? Can't even shut it down omg. Do I have a $600 brick here? :crying::crying:

Did you read the other posts in this thread? The way you do a "battery pull" on this phone is to HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button for ~15seconds. Your capactivie buttons will blink, too. On my device, it took exactly 15seconds to reboot. There have been some reports of some phones that get so stuck that you just have to wait until the battery dies and charge it back up.
Alternatively, if the computer is recongizing it, try to adb reboot recovery to try and get into the recovery.

hi again. this morning my battery finally out. Then i put my phone to the charger and started it in fastboot mode( that is a good new) Then i left it for 20-30 minutes to charge a little bit for flashing custom rom.Then i went to recovery and started adb sideload. Sideload was succesful and finally came to aroma installer of trickdroid. I chose my installation options and started to flash rom but process was frozen on 10 percent. It was saying unmount system, unmount cahce and both of them has notification as "already unmounted". But installation was not going on. Then again i tried to go back fasboot mode again by press and holding power+vol down but unfortunatelly lights are blinking but nothing happens again. I think i need to wait to battery die again.
Isn't it quite weird? Why power+vol down combination does not work for me anytime? So, do i need to wait for battery die in every frozen? Do you have any ideas or comments ?
Do i need to go back to stock first ?
EDIT : Battery was out again and i tried once more. This time installation (trick droid) was successful but it frozen at the end this time. And unfortunatelly i can not restart (power+vol down) it again again Holy crap, i am really pissed off with this problem.
O..K...Finally, i managed to start my phone and now it works... Especially thank you skinsfanbdh for your support.
