I just flash a new firmware and TWRP touchscreen is not responding.
Is there anyway i could force shut down the phone?
I have already tried the following:
- adb reboot bootloader
Got an error device not found
- hold down power button for more than 10sec
- hold down both power button and vol button for more than 10sec
All the above methods doesnt work

Hey guys, I have my phone rooted and the shell installed, but when I turn off my phone and turn it back on holding the home button, the recovery menu doesn't open. I have even tried to hold the power and the home button at the same time and that still didn't work.
It does work if I do reboot recovery in a terminal app or adb so I know I that it is infact flashed to the phone.
Any ideas?
I actually end up doing the "Volume Down" button and Power button...it gives me a menu and then I hit the Home button to go into the recovery ROM.

thanks, I'll try and see if that works.
Edit.. That doesn't seem to work either. Maybe Im pushing the buttons wrong or too late? Was there a file i was supposed to keep on the SD card?
Edit... NVM I wasnt holding the buttons before I turned the phone on. I always pressed them right after I turned the phone on.
Ok, i promise i did nothing...im holding the volume and power button...(volume first, then the power button) but the phone keeps staring..i last installed Chritian's ROM....wht is wrong....

And you are holding volume ''DOWN'' ?
turn the phone OFF.
hold volume down key, while still holding volume down, hold power key...
Continue holding both keys until you get the tri colour SPL screen....
Could be the volume key isn't working as it should, some others have had that problem.
Try using the RUU tool and flashing through USB cable.

Just copy the file inside the archieve to your SD card and then run it from file explorer in the phone, it will restart in bootloader then
Once again, a flashing thread already exists for questions like these. Its even been stickied for quick finding. Why not post in that thread??

Hi to all,
i used this way to enter the download modus http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765703
it was the first time i could enter this modus. Then i tried to flash JPC firmware with odin. Something went wrong. Now my phone boots up (the animated "S" with sound), vibrate and the screen went black.
The touch controls working fine but the screen is still black and the phone vibrates sometimes.
Unfortunally i reach not the download or recovery modus.
What can i do, please help!
kind regards
srkonus
you have to get into the download mode
if you can not get into the download mode
then you are stuck
you can try to be lucky and see if you can reboot it into the ADB reboot download
Thanks for your answer, how made this with the adb reboot download? My Windows 7 does not see the phone.
I get this: error: device not found
You should get in to download mode because the s is after the download mode.
I never see the s when trying to get into download
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
That is my problem, i get into the download modus not yesterday, and today only one time.
I try this:
battery out and in, center button, vol up and power -> nothing
battery out and in, center button, vol down up and power -> nothing
battery out and in, vol down up, center button and power -> nothing
battery out and in, vol down down, center button and power -> nothing
I do not know how i went into the download mode nearly one hour before.
ADB and kies find not the phone :-(
1) Pull out battery.
2) Reinsert battery.
3) Press VOL DOWN - HOME - POWER and keep the 3 buttons pressed until you'll see a yellow image on the phone. You are in download mode!
If your Phone has no Problem with the 3-Button-Combo:
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until you reach Download-Mode
- Release all Buttons
Otherwise the only solution is to bring it back to Samsung. ;-)

How was the condition of your battery before you got into trouble. You think you have enough power? If not, let your phone rest for a while and try it again later. Make sure that when you get into download mode you have odin ready so you can flash new firmware immediately .
Nothing,
the only thing i can see is the white samsung galaxy letters, after that the phone reboots.

- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until Display powers on then release only Power Button
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons until you reach Download Mode
Could be a little tricky to get into download mode. ;-)
Yeah,
back to samsung...nice joke. I do not beliefe, that samsung will change the phone. It was rooted and i installed the modclock recovery before to backup the ROM.
Maybe the device was really warm from charging - is this the key?
i think your Flash was ok. You´ve only forgotten to do a Data Wipe / Factory Reset from Recovery.
Have a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400
AFTER FLASHING TO JPC ITS NECESSARY TO DO A DATA/FACTORY RESET FROM RECOVERY (Volume up + Home + Power).
OTHERWISE YOUR PHONE WILL DO MYSTERIOUS THINGS!!!

Reconsider the advice of Arey. To go into download mode can be really tricky sometimes.
Maybe ur battery is drained get some one else to charge it for u
The battery is full

Not download mode but rather recovery. VOL UP + HOME + POWER hold till Samsung white writing appears then release.

Thats the thing with the Galaxy,u have made it to download mode cpl o times before and u think u know how to do it right.But read carefully!!:
#1. PULL out the battery for a minute!Not 1sec,or 2...a minute!!
#2. Put it back in again,and putt the case back.
#3. Press the home-button,the big square thing at the bottom.hold it down,hold down volume-down button on the side,now press power button on oposite side of volumebutton.
#4 Make really sure u have all 3 buttons pressed at the same time.Wait for download mode
My phone is not going in either of the download / recovery mode. I tried many times. Both 'Vol up + home + power' and 'Vol down + home + power'. But the phone runs in infinite boot loop until i release the power button, after which it starts normally.
May be i should try this . But as per what i found in google search is that the 3 button issue was only in 2.1(Eclair). And mine is already on 2.2 (Froyo) which i updated officially through kies. So has it been disabled intentionally or the bootloader is buggy version which i need to update using this guide ??
try to hold the power button for 4 seconds exactly. Release it just when the logo screen disappears. Sometimes if I hold it too long, it doesn;t work.
Also, if your phone is working, try an app like QuickBoot that will take you into those modes automatically.
For some people have problems getting in to download mode, try volume down home and power it worked for me.
Download mode is Volume down not up .

I tried it, its not working. I release the power button exactly when the boot logo disappears. Then the phone boots again (boot logo is displayed again) and phone starts normally.
Also app like QuickBoot is not much helpful as i'm thinking of flashing through ODIN and i need both the modes working before starting the flash procedure !!

Yeah i have tried factory reset. And i dont want to use the USB jig just now. USB jig is for emergency i suppose and u can only go into download mode and not recovery mode. I want download mode and recovery mode running normally. My question is that, i it possible that these two modes are disabled as mine is 3 UK branded phone ?? Should I try this ??
Hey there, i desperately need help, today i tried installing trickdroid and it froze in the aroma installer on the additional mods menu, i tried holding the power button for a long time, only the capacitive buttons would blink endlessly, but nothing else ever happens, same with power + vol down and power + vol down + vol up.. i also tried to do adb reboot command, and it says no device found. any help would be greatly appreciated

I did an in depth search before I started looking into roms and I haven't found any verified stories of a truly bricked m7, so breathe easy This thread has quite a few good ideas in it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219850

i did try searching but haven't found quite the same problem i had, also, it's very strange that holding power button won't work in recovery =/ i REALLY miss a removable battery =(
Now your phone is freezed?
If yes, re-try now.
Power button for 15-30 sec, try Power + Vol- too.
