Hello and thank you for your responses in advance.
I am having a very strange issue with my galaxy mini:
During normal usage ( specifically using whatsapp) and a quick burst of the back button my phone started taking screenshots with every button press and also when settled on a table would either flash the menu function ( like the menu button was pressed ) or bring up a google search ( screen was off it turned on and flashed a menu or opened google search ) . The display would not turn on using the home button and also when turned off and then turned back on it would go into recovery mode( like home+ power was pressed) where the home button was unresponsive for selection (reboot/ wipe/ etc) . This was not consistent, sometimes the phone would boo,t work normally for a few minutes then start taking screenshots when fiddled with and also in recovery mode sometimes the home button would work for the menu selection but sometimes the menu key would work for the selection (rarely) . I tried restoring to factory settings, wiping data cache, flashing CM7 , flashing stock, rooting, unrooting, pulling the battery out, i even intentionally soft bricked it ( bad cm7 flash ) just to see if it makes any difference . Nada, phone would either boot normally and start taking screenshots, flashing the " you just pressed the menu button" selection rapidly or simply opening google search when set on a table OR it would boot into recovery where i couldn't select anything and i had to remove the battery and plug it back in several times for me to be able to select reboot now. Phone was a stock 2.3.4 orange Romania rooted for me to be able to read the network unlock code from inside the binaries, no custom rom was flashed prior to this. I was thinking that me using the phone as an mp3 player at the gym (keeping it in my gym shorts) would of enabled sweat to seep through the keypad go under the buttons and short them out over time ? My last trip to the gym was weeks ago so that's strange.

Sorry, I was using a phone.
And yeah i guess your cell keyboard doesn't have enter key, right?
I guess this strange behavior is only when u r connect to charger ?

The cell has menu/home/back and volume up down and the power button. The behavior is present all the time not just when it is conected via usb . As far as i know the home key should be enter in the recovery menu, i've tried all 3 keys but they don't work. But, it's not about the recovery menu, it's the fact that after it boots it's unusable as it starts taking screenshots on any button press and when i set it down it lights up and starts showing the menu like the menu key was pressed

It was already sent to a service center, the warranty is shady on the handset so i don't think i can claim it. The estimate came today, it's a faulty motherboard. The phone will be taken out back and shot in the back of the head to end its misery
Does anybody know if a replacement motherboard comes with any bootloader or software and how can I flash firmware once it is installed?

While trying to restore my phone to default, my computer installed at&ts firmwire to my phone. It won't start, just flashing the at&t screen. The original firmwire were JP2. How can I restore the phone back to the download state or do I have a brick in my hand?
Can u enter download mode?
- Remove Battery for about 1 Minute
- Reinsert Battery
- Press VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER
- Now you should see a yellow triangle. This is the download mode.
- Start flashing a fresh firmware with Odin (see big faq thread for infos http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596)
Nope, it only shows either black screen or the at&t logo...
Well some galaxy s phones have download mode disabled, looks like you've bricked.

hey jontsku, can you not get into download mode at all? there's a thread where a guy forced his galaxy to download mode by using heat. can't find it right now coz i'm mobile. it's pretty risky imho so prolly have it as a last resort and wait for other, safer solutions...

JTAG service will be available in Finland shortly.
Voids the warranty, ain´t cheap either... But less anyway than the price of new motherboard at service.

Too bad mate. I bought mine but from Ebay.co.uk. Always prefer to buy from there instead of Finland since the devices are cheap to buy and are trouble free. But all hope is not lost

When someone took their phone to samsung they were told that it damages one of the buses. Only way to fix - change motherboard.

Try the galaxy s bootmode app.

Try this
Have to quickly remove & put back the battery, then press the 3 keys repeatedly (vol down, home & on button).

Or:
If that doesn't work, or if your phone is frozen:
1. Turn the power off. If your Samsung Galaxy S is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Press and release the Power button
4. You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Press and release the Power button
7. Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

And there was a trick something like phone off loading press home and vol down
It seems that the firmware installation didn't finish properly, so the device boots every time after showing the at&t logo. And odly when you plug the usb (datacable or charcher) it dies. But when you take it off the device start againg with the logos.
Did you tried the hard reset ?

i think we had the "at&t" bootloader topic several times already or didn't we? i feel very sorry for you jontsku but i'm pretty sure that your device can only be restored by jtag or changing the board. what i don't understand is why people still use the captivate version of odin to flash (destroy) their phones ... maybe some mod should put a huge blinking warning in the howto-flash section ...

lol, it's only your fault for not reading enough before flashing and choosing the wrong odin/firmware
So here is the situation:
My power button is non-functional. This happened before, and I was able to press very firmly on the power button to access a shut down menu and turn off the phone. From this, I was able to enter download mode (pressing volume button while inserting USB) and go back to stock, which surprisingly, fixed my power button. I thought this nightmare was over.
Now, my power button has stopped working again (ICS hacksung 5.0). No matter how much pressing, prodding, whatever, I cannot get the power button to turn off the phone.
I cannot find any adb commands to turn off phone.
"adb reboot download" simply restarts the phone, no download mode. (adb does recognize the device)
If I take out the battery, as soon as I put it in the phone boots up.
If I am pressing any of the volume buttons when I put the battery in, I can access recovery mode (But cannot select anything because power button is still broken)
Any ideas? I doubt my phone is still under warranty (1.4 years old) and I do not have mobile insurance.
Thanks for any help in advance
Depending on what recovery u have (cwm or ?), U can use the capacitive buttons, while in that revovery, to navigate and select the power off option.
Sent by XDA Premium App
Thats a neat tip that I didn't know about, but I can't find any option to power off? Sorry for being retarded but I have given this time I promise
cwm recovery is what I have installed atm
Reboot to CWM and Power off option may be at the bottom of the 1st screen that u come to. That is dependent on what version of cwm u have though.
Quick boot from the market, you can place a poweroff button directly on the home screen

The ICS ROMS CWM recovery doesn't have power off choice, so he can't do that.

Unfortunately the quick boot "power off" option simply froze my phone, or restarted it.
I let my battery drain so that I could get a dead phone (that part worked), but when I hold my volume buttons and plug in the USB for download mode it goes to the "battery" screen or (if both are held down) recovery. No download mode.
In recovery "key test" the power button fails to register any key press, but it is not spamming either. This seems like a hardware problem, but I am not sure how it was fixed when I flashed back to stock before if that is the case
I will next try making a download mode jig, I'll let you guys know how it goes...
My cousin had the exact same problem less than a month ago.
I see you tried reboot download through adb, have you tried it using the same command, but using android emulator from market? That worked for her phone so worth a shot.
its a far shot but odin is now available for use on the phone itself and works on our phones. maybe you can find a kernel thats had the buttons reconfigured. i know darky has one somewhere.

Thanks for this idea, when I use

#reboot download
the phone simply reboots. Same thing happens in "Quick Boot" 's "Bootloader" reboot option. This phone just seems broke as hell.
Firstly, this power button problem is a lot more common than you would think. It is most often a hardware failure - I mean the button mechanism (springs etc. just dies). Google it to see how common.
Your post suggests a clue: If just putting the battery in reboots the phone, then the power button may be stuck in the "in" position.....so it is always getting "pushed". Then anything you do would mean ht epower button is already being pressed. If this is the case, you will never get a software solution ???
Also, I absolutely do not mean to be nasty. But if you search both Q&A and General sections there are previous threads with this button problem. Many other solutions have been posted and it will be difficult to list them together.
Finally, you can actually replace - yes, replace - the button yourself. Google/you tube has it.

Okay so my power button just randomly stopped working after some random time. it doesnt work ANYWHERE. to lock my screen, to unlcok my screen, in recovery mode i cant press anything cuase it doesnt WORK. i no its a hardware issue becuase of this. i did google this but found nothing. what can i do to fix it.
i tried a battery pull and putting it back and going to recovery to factory reset but as soon as i put my battery in my phone starts up. i can enter recovery but the power button doesnt work so i cant press anything.
my warranty is over by a long shot ( had it since it released) so cant return it.
any help would be appreciated. all i need is a way to turn my phone on and off nothing about the recovery and stuff. but if you do find someting for it that would be even more amazing.
and has this happened to anyone else, just wondering is all if this is common or rare.
thnx in advance.
it has happened to many captivates. search 'captivate power button' on xda.
What ROM are you running on your phone?
Answer to that question has a lot to do with your next steps for software workaround.
One approach; you could read up on ways to clean the power button and see if that works. Or send it off to mobiletechvideos.com and he will fix it for a reasonable fee.

i am running Aocp 5 android 4.2.1
hve been running it for a few weeks now and no problem till now
Okay, start by seeing if you can clean the power button, that may fix it for now. Again, search 'captivate power button' to find some threads about ways to clean it.
With the ROM you are running, I believe you have a version of CWM that allows to use the Cappy's dedicated menu keys, menu, home, back and search, to navigate and select recovery items.
Assuming your power key is stuck on, remove the battery, hold the up and down volume buttons and reinsert the battery to get into recovery. This will allow you to test keys, wipe, and any other function in CWM.
With the phone on and fully booted into JB, go find volume rocker wake in the system setting options and make sure it is active. Hitting the up/down key will wake the screen when it sleeps. Add the sleep/lock toggle to your notification bar menu and you have a way to instantly lock the screen without the power key.
If you still have a bad power button stuck in on position, then you will need to take out the battery to turn it off.
Hope this helps.

This is happening because your power button is stuck in the on position. Did you try to clean it as suggested earlier.
BWolf56, I'm not aware of an app or ROM that completely prevents power up on insertion of battery when the power button is stuck on. If there is such an app, I'd like to hear about it. I think maybe the power switch goes to the broadcom power management chip, so I don't understand how the app could work unless the phone never came on at all. SOD symptoms would be the result.

I had a very similar problem with my Epic 4G Touch (Sprint S2) - my phone would randomly reboot, and it kept getting worse and worse. Thought it was the ROM, the overclock, etc. I flashed back to (almost) stock, went back to original clock speeds. Eventually, I noticed that even brushing past the power button would wake the screen, and about 10 seconds later the phone would reboot.
Long story short, I bought a replacement power switch, soldered it in place, and have had zero problems since!
Several eBay sellers offer the switch you'll need.
(They don't include the skills needed to solder it in place. It's a tiny switch - about 4mm x 2mm x 1.5mm, and you'll need a good quality fine-tipped soldering iron and a steady hand. Do you have a friend who's good at soldering?)

This happened to me as well last week. Tried everything but failed.
I did below steps and my phone is up & working
1) Remove the battery and keep it in a dry place for 4-6 hours (Very important step to make this work)
2) Place the battery back into computer and do not turn ON the phone
3) Plug the phone to wall charger and charge the phone for at least an Hour (I kept for 2 Hrs)
4) Remove the charger and gently press the power button for 15 secs
5) This should turn the phone back ON
Above steps helped for me. Let me know if this worked for you also :angel:

Ankush,
In your case I can think of only 2 things
1) If you have CWM installed then
press and hold "Volume UP Key + Power Key + Home Key" all together for 30 secs (may be a min) and see if you get recovery screen
If yes then all is ok & you just need to flash a new ROM
2) If you do not have CWM then
press and hold "Volume Down Key + Power Key + Home Key" all together for 30 secs (may be a min) and see if you get a custom screen
If yes then you can install custom ROM (or original ROM) using ODIN.
Let me know if anything helps you here

Same kind of error
Over the night my phone closed. When I try to open it, on the screen apeared "Insert PIN to decrypt your ~something~ ". I never encrypted my phone so I tried to restart. I got stuck on the samsung logo. Then I removed the battery and put it back in and my device never started again. I have 2 batteries and none of them worked. I can charge the batteries independently and this is not the issue.

Have the same problem right now.. did you find a solution eventually?
Same happened to my device today. Had trouble with some apps before. Wanted to play back a two days old backup. But my phone never woke up again. Shut down forever. Never got to recovery. Had the latest cm11 nightly. Now its dead! RIP. My dear friend. We've gone a long way together. Never intended to replace you anytime soon. But I can't be without a Phone. Moving on to Galaxy S5 now. Hope it can fill the gapp.
Same here, completely dead after a reboot. I took it apart but I see no damage or signs of burn damage anywhere on the motherboard or other components. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot and find out specifically what happened?
i am not sure, mayb the phone is design to last for only certain years, new apps launch make the phone in applicable for be running with latest apps and everything. Or mayb the phone is design with a timer to self destroy its chip or component after specific numbers of days being used??
My phone started to act really strange today. When i press power/lock button it wont lock it turns off phone immediately. Sometime it just gives powers screen (wher you can turn off,restart or go in airplane mode). Butt its really strange. I can turn off my phone only if i unplug battery.
So the problem is that when i press power/lock button it will restart or wont happend anything.
Im long on this ROM and its not problem with it. I tryed go on stock ROM and same thing happends.
Anyone have some suggestion ?

Im long on this ROM and its not problem with it. I tryed go on stock ROM and same thing happends.
Anyone have some suggestion ?

Try 2 hold 8 seconds on power button, if this phone will reboot - it's software problem. Just flash a new firmware LT6 for ur phone.
If it does not work, try 2 disassemble ur phone, and watch area nearly power button. If it's damaged go 2 service.
My opinion plastic nearly power button area is damaged, or this is firmware trouble in UI.
Nothing happend after 8 sec's
