is code for factory reset from dialer it will get phone just wipe data and staff , if you flashed custom rom it will not make it back to stock. just reset to start.
But how you will power on phone? if its button dead?

Adb commands but it's really risky. I wouldn't try to flash with a broken power button.

If you flash Glitch kernel i think it has capcasive button selection
Edit:: Misread sorry, you can flash through Odin and it will clear user info. If that didn't work, adb dump and Master clear in Odin

Thanks. I tried but i cant remember bad power button. Only chance i have is either make a jig or desolder the switch from a nother captivate. Or samsung for that matter

Hi guys. I forget the screen lock password on my galaxy note, and I don't have gmail account too... I know, i can do a hard reset, but that's not working either. When i want to wipe all data/and factory reset the phone asking me that password, i locked him... So what are my options? When is in recovery menu
enter to recovery (Vol up+home+power)

This is where I'm now still ask me for password
looks like your screwed and samsung security is working. No way to circumvent that other then losing your data
If Samsung did it right

It is weired password asking in recovery
Wat exactly option you seen in rcovery?
Can you post pic of recovery?
And are you sure you are in recovery mode?
Switch off device
Press Home + Vol up + Power
release power once you see samsung logo
now you will have few option and select wipe data (select with vol up/down)
enter choice with Home if you are on GB/ power if you are on ICS
I can't do anything at this point. What I can see is on the picture. Before that I just press volume up + power and home, from there factory reset, wipe everything and this is how I came to what you can see on the picture. Any suggestions

(I tried and it works) ClockWorkMod recovery
i9000 (in short: Vol UP + HOME + power ON
i9000)
i think the only possible way is to flash a stock samsung firmeware thru odin.

Power button not locking screen / causing instant reset

Hi all
Using official 4.1.2 with Philz kernel only other change is a new battery. Rooted.
Power button sometimes wont lock the phone - goes straight to reset / shutdown options. A few seconds later the phone will restart.
Before I perform a factory reset, can anyone suggest why it might be doing this?
Thanks on advance.

Switch off your phone, boot into recovery mode by pressing Vol up+home+power button together.
Once you are in recovery mode, navigate via vol up/down keys to the option factory reset.select by using power button.
That should solve your problem..

Try flashing a more stable version of jellybean like xxlq4(works like a charm for me..consider going for this version) or xxlqb..these have minimal bugs, so that might help..remember to do a factory reset after flashing..
