Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and if my post is posted on the wrong area, please feel free to move it (and I apologize for any inconvenience)
so back to the problem that I have encountered: my S5 cannot power off properly after flashing G900F. I have an ATT S5 and I used towelroot to root, install Safestrap and did all the backup, setup a new rom kind of stuff. After that, I flash G900F to my phone (with all those wipe done correctly). My phone works perfectly fine but when I try to turn off my phone, it will do all the work but keeps in a black screen with the two button lights on. When I tried to turn on my phone then, it would not do so, so I believe it hangs at that black screen.
Did anyone encounter this before and know a way out? Every help is appreciated and sorry again if this post is in the wrong area.
Pete
Its a bug with safestrap. There's currently no fix other then a battery pull.

Thank you so much for your reply,
If you don't mind, please help me out on another problem: after doing all the process, my phone could not connect to my home wifi. It always got stuck at the "obtaining IP" process, is there a way that I could fix it as well?
Thank you so much for helping out this new guy!:good:

I'm really not sure there. No custom ROMs would let me use WiFi when I flashed them.
Questions and Help issues belong in Q&A and Help section...thanks!

PLEASE HELP ME,
i HAVE AN UNLOCKED SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE AND I WANT TO INSTALL THE LATEST UPDATE BUT CAN'T CONECT TO TE AT&T SERVER.
PLEASE HELP.
THANKS
1. There's one big thread for discussions regarding the update. Ask for help there?
2. Why are you typing in caps?
Reboot the phone make sure the application device manager is running. Then try again. AT&T says to remove the sim card and put it back in not sure if that would do much though.

Sorry for the Caps, I had it on and didn't realise untill the thread was posted.
I haven't been able to find a thread that helps my situation, if you know one, please let me know.
thanks

Not much of solution so far though.
I would be hopeful still. I was unlocked (but otherwise 100% stock), checked for the updates a couple of days ago, and all went smoothly. It may just be that the servers are currently overloaded.
hi everyone. i've been following the forum here for awhile and finally decided to root my brand new NC. i autorooted from 1.1. i saw some things weren't working so i quickly decided to unroot back to factory settings. i unrooted by unregistering the device and turning off the power 8 times. my NC boots up fine, but it gets stuck on the "Registering your Device" page and just remains there with the circle spinning. i think i left it there for more than 30 minutes and nothing happens. has anyone experienced this before? if so, how did you fix it? any help would be appreciated.
sorry if this topic has already been asked - i tried searching but didn't find anything on this specific issue. if there's already a thread, please feel free to share the link with me. thank you!
EDIT: really need some help here... i tried to fix it myself (i know i shouldn't have) and might have made it even worse. i tried to re-autoroot my NC but just completely failed. it was not loading anything anymore, so i tried to unroot again by powering off 8 times. when i restarted, everything looked normal, except the bootloader screen was not stock. it brought me back through the normal tutorial and same thing with it getting stuck on "registering your device". could someone please provide a thorough walkthrough on how to reset to factory settings? i'm seeing all these threads throwing around all these acronyms that i don't understand. seems like i need to try running some clockwork rom but not even sure how to do that. please help!!
Bump, i have just encountered this problem and i need help as well.
Update:
actually just figured it out and heres what fixed my problem, i wasn't doing the factory reset part only the 8 reboot interruptions.

Thanks for your post, even though no one ever helped. I was having the same problem and doing a clear data/factory reset from Clockwork Recover booted from an SD card did the trick for me.
Alrighty. The other night, I had download mode. I updated to a new Kernal.
Today I try to access it, and I have:
POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE.
Now, I've googled, and none of the threads really answer the question. What do I have to do to get into download mode to flash a new kernal?

Hello guys, I am completely new to this forum, first post actually. I recently rooted my new Samsung Galaxy S2 and installed the latest Cyanogenmod7 for AT&T SGH-i777. Everything went fairly smooth and was not too difficult after hours of research. As I navigated the system I found some glitches and decided to go back to stock ROM. Being a noob, I think I installed the wrong Kernel while trying to revert. At this point, I am unable to do much more than get into clockwork mod recovery boot screen with power, up/down volume. While in the screen which is orange rather than blue before, up and down will navigate the options but tapping an option does nothing but reset back to the list. I can not reboot, power off or anything for that matter. I have been trying for hours to get into download mode and all I get is the Samsung Galaxy S2 and then a black screen like nothing has happened. For whatever reason the Samsung Boot screen says i9100 when my phon is SGH-i777 for AT&T. Not sure if what I am dealing with is a bricked phone or if I need some experiential knowledge within this forum to work magic. Any help with resolving this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any time given, Incloud!
Hope this is appropriate for this section.

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist. To get you the specific expert help you need, I'm going to move your thread to your device's Q&A forum. Good luck!
You should be able to hold down the power button long enough to do a force shutdown. If that doesnt work, I guess just let it discharge until it powers off. Try starting with minimal charge again to see if you can get back to a functional OS. If not, use Recovery and reflash your rom. If you dont have a custom recovery, follow the guides to install one which should wipe your device for you and fix this APK crash you're having.
Hi, yesterday i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone by sending patched boot image from magsik. All worked fine untill after about 15minutes my wifi turned off, when i tried to turn it back on it wouldn't work. When trying to turn on hotspot it instantly turns off and says error. My phone speakers are not working, same when i plug in headphones.
I was doing research but found nothing helpfull. I was thinking about reinstalling ROM with xiaomi tool v2 but i don't know if it wont get my phone bricked.
Any ideas are welcome! Thanks in advance.
