Look's like you got screwed up, Did you try to ask the SAMSUNG Store about the problem?
If its not too late pull out battery,sim and sd card and put all with phone in rice and leave it for a few days.Then try to do something...Odin or else.

hi guys
im using darkky's steel ROM on my galaxy since the last few days.. it was working perfectly..
last night i put in in for charging like i always do and when i see it in the morning the screen is continuously on with some strange white jumbled up screen which i havent seen before.
the phone doesnt switch off nor does it go into recovery mode nor does it go into download mode (it used to before be able to go into recovery or download mode).i need to pull out the battery for the phone to switch off.
each time i try the 3 button combo .. it comes back to that jumbled up white screen.
i havent tried connecting it to ODIN since i cant use 3 button anymore.
does it seem to be a hardware issue ?
please advise guys
thanks
IF you are unable to use 3 button, you could try to install adb (from the Android SDK) and connect the phone and try the following commands:
1) adb reboot recovery -> to go to recovery OR
2) adb reboot bootloader -> to go to download mode
Good luck!
Odin uses download mode to flash, but sounds like you have killed something in the bootloader, you have 2 options:
1)send it to Samsung and hope the don't kick you in the nut sack for breaking warranty, ending up in no fix or...
2)turn the phone off and insert the micro usb modded cable with a resistor over pin 4_===_5 301k resistor as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
I flashed that rom and got the the very first screen when the phone turns on, 3 button went but download mode didn't, i flashed I9000XWJM8 and it came back to life, tried it again making sure lagfix was off and it done the same, needless to say I am back on docs jp6!!
good luck pal
@ashwinds: he cant run the commands unless the phone boots as both download mode and 3 button are disabled

Can you post a pic of the screen?
Also, when you remove the battery, then put it in, and try to go into revovert/boot, or try to start the phone, do you see ANYTHING else before the white screen?
hi
@kalpik will try to post a pic when i get home tonight.. nope dont get ANYTHING at all before the jumbled white screen.. just that.i just hope the guys at samsung dont reject my claim because of warranty violation issues.
@anarchyuk i wish i could try the method u u suggested.. but i really dont know anything about hardware stuff and am sure that i wont be able to do it.

If the white screen is the only thing you get, then i think its a hardware problem only.. Though Sasmung should fix it for you.. If they ask you about anything, just act dumb

see what samsung say, but if they do fail that method is not hard at all, as usb leads are only 4 pin and micro have 5, not all the micro pins have wires, other wise it would be a case of putting the resistor into the usb Male end!
Try this, it jas helped me get into recovery before when all appeared bricked (but didn't have a screen like yours).
- Remove battery
- Now press and hold the buttons you use to get into recovery
- While still holding the 3 buttons, insert the battery
Hopefully it boots up and/or ADB works.
Hello.So my phone fell in a river today and it couldnt turn on. After some drying i got the phone to function but when i put the battery in it automatically without me pressing anything goes into recovery mode. And when i press home button in there nothing happens.
PS: sorry,my english sucks
Edit:So i got the phone to boot up but after i put the pin code and press ok the screen becomes black and freezes and the only thing i can do is pull the battery.
Hope someone can help me!
Okay so i plan going to the service on saturday but i have a problem:
My phone is running Democracy lite edition so i dont have warranty.
So i need to flash with odin but i cant enter download mode because the volume down button is not working idk why...
Is there a way to enter download mode without volume down key?
Sorry for double posting
First... Why the hell did you drop your amazing device in a river ? You'd have couriered it to me along with some money & a " THANK YOU" letter in the package for free if you hated it that much
Now seriously,
Try charging your phone for a long time. This heats it up & evaporates any interveing water traces. Now try booting into the download mode. If this doesn't work then it might have damaged your electronics. Take it to the service centre & say that it fell in water. Don't say anything that you rooted, etc; Just play dumb. They will fix it for you but you might have to pay...
" Change is never always unavoidable. We do have our choices. Choice is just an illusion. The abled see beyond it & the feeble seek forth it. The abled defy the change & the change defies the feeble. "
Give it some time. My power button stopped working after contact with rain, and it started working againg next day (close to the heater, open back, slots etc.) but fully recovered about 3 or 4 days later !

The warranty was already gone with the river. :laugh: There are a small indicator in every phone (I guess, at least in Nokias), so the service center will see that the phone was in water. You can say, that it's not true, but they will see it, because of the indicator (it's a small piece of paper or something in Nokia phones and it turns blue if it contacts water.)
After my first update the phone is dead, I have my htc inc s for one
week(I think it was android 2.3.3 and it worked fine yesterday I got
update notification I've downloaded it and then the phone shutted down
and started with the dark screen with the green arrows in circle and
one inside facing down symbol and it stayed like that forever!I took
battery out and put back press power and its the same symbol! The phone
is from china got it from ebay and if I need to send it back for fixing
it will take a lot of time to come back!
So I tried battery out back in, volume down + pover the same green
arrow symbol,like this when plugged in my pc doesnt do nothing,after I
tried battery out than in, volume up + power and I got 3 vibes, orange
light and black screen, when plugged to my pc i says "qualcom CDMA
technologies MSM" device and it searches for drivers!
I dont believe that its possible to brick my device with the first
update that I got from the mobile network and I never touched nothing
like rooting or messing with my phone...
So what can I do now to fix it without losing my waranty and having
everything like it was before stock and working???
PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP!!!

I have no idea what volume up+power does, nor do I understand half of what you are saying but ill try and help anyways...
download HTC Sync. Download SDK and ADB files from google. then save the files in a place ull remember. Download HTC Sync too (I forget if you actually need it but download it anyways because you need it for USB Drivers). When you are finished download of SDK, go into the folder sdk/platform-tools. Shift+right mouse click and then select "Open Command Window here." Back to your phone, boot into bootloader (Volume DOWN + Power button) and select fasboot (if u dont know how to navigate in bootlaoder, search it up). On your computer in command window type in fastboot devices and it should list your device serial number (if u dont know it dont worry, it should start with something like HT and then numbers and stuff like that). If your computer recognizes the deivce, then proceed and type "fastboot getvar all" Paste what u read here or screenshot, whatever, just see that its here IN THIS THREAD.

I will try to explain better... My htc brand new never rooted never played with, after 4-5 days of using (everything worked great) got
the first OTA update, shutted down and then started with the green update sign on the screen, it stayed like this forever, so I took the battery out and put it back and tried to go to the boot menu (volume down + power button) it does nothing again the same green symbol on the screen. Than I took battery out and in again and pressed volume up + power button and the phone vibrates 3 times and the orange lid is on. When connected to PC does nothing! I instaled and played with sdk and adb like you instructed me but the problem is that the device is not in the device list! I start to think that its bricked or soft bricked but it makes me mad since its new and I never played with it or changed something!
Also if it matters I got it from the eBay but since I wrote to HTC also the answer was from them that its a indonesian market phone that has expired guarantee one year ago, so this makes me think that maybe its a referb and not new phone
P.S Sorry for the double post I am new here and thanks for trying to help
I.m attaching two pics of what is seen on the screen help me if you can

You might want to try official RUU although I dont know if it will work since you dont seem to be able to boot up properly, but its certainly worth a try. BTW, how long did u wait for the OTA update to finish installing?

Hi , after searching around the forum still i dont understand what happend with my phone. The phone is 1 month old. Earlier today when i tryed to charge my phone (after some time charging) i saw the red light blinking and the phone wouldnt start so i did a reset (power button + volume up) , phone restarted and it worked very good , later after couple of hours i tryed to put the phone back to charge , i didnt pay atention so i was kinda trying to insert usb in the phone in a wrong way then i insert it corectly and when i looked at phone i saw hes off (i didnt look to see if anything happened to it when i tryed to insert usb wrong way , i did that before and it was no problem). I tryed to reset again , tryed both tools from sony , tryed mostly everything the phone its just dead no sign of life. When this happened phone was like 60% battery and ive updated like 1 week ago via SUS to 4.4.2. I heard one method with the tape and im trying it right now maybe if battery gets to 0 phone will reset by itself but i dont have much hope on it.
My phone is rooted but i didnt touch bootloader , its my warranty ok? Any other ideas how i could repair it or if the phone just broken or its only maybe something from software?
Thanks and best regards!
NEWS , my phone is up again!
What i did was unlogic but ill tell maybe it will help somebody else.
First time i tryed everything i saw on web , pressing all combination with power button and volume buttons and nothing was happening. (as you see the post above).
Second i tryed to tape the power button and volume up button (i used some papaer to protect the phone from the the tape), ive let them for about 1 hour or so , i tryed to reset/power nothing happend.
After that i tryed to see if the phone is charging , nothing happend ... then i simply pressed power button and the phone was back alive (the usb cable was removed). My phone came back with 63% battery , it was like around the same when it went dead. Everything seems to work fine now!
Any idea on this? I want to avoid this in the future
Thanks!

Hello guys im kinda crazy about this
i have a moto x xt1058 and it had a bad camera so i bought the replacement and i open the phone carefully like the video and i did the replacement then when i started to reassemble it i connected the battery before connecting power and volume buttons to the phone so i connected them when my phone auto started and it booted well in android 5.1 stock when i put the battery, then i finish the reassembly but i realized that my buttons were not working so i connected my phone to adb and i put adb reboot then it boot normaly but only volume buttons were working, power button was not working. then i open it only to see the buttons flex and it was connected good and didnt damage it. so i rebooted again with adb and surpirse phone after logo shows a black screen, and only active display was showing, i connected to pc and didnt recognize nothing then the battery died and actually its charging. i cant boot to fastboot because i dont know why power button doesnt work
What Can i DO, please i cant take it to repair it is too expensive. it had all stock 5.1 with unlocked bootloader.
sorry for my english, isnt my first language.
I would let it die again or power it off as you can , remove the camera replacement, put buttons and then battery back, see if phone works again.

This is a hardware issue. Sounds like you damaged the cable to the power button even if you think you did not.
