you mean pishing once? and then? try to press power on button?
you mean pishing once

if you by this mean that you press the tip of your stylus into the hole in the left part of button of the xda once then yes
then try to turn it on using the turn on / off button
I tried, but it did not turn on, when I put it to cradle led is green, but when I get it out of cradle I do not see any light on led. I tried to power it on pushing that button, but nothing happens
is anybody able to help me?
If it neither works in the cradle or on battery power then I would suspect a component on the charging circuit has died or your battery is kaput, by doing a reset it should switch on automatically.
but holding power button and doing soft reset I could get to wallaby bootloader, so battery does work. any other suggestions?
If holding power and rest works then the power button is functional, have you attempted to flash the xda before this happened? What happens if you push the green telephone button bottom left of your xda? Have you tried a hard reset, using the unscrewed top half of stylus to push once in the tiny hole bottom right of xda, leave for 1 minute then push once more. You will lose all data but your data isnt much good if you cant switch on.
yes, I tried to hard reset it several times, but had no result. now I am trying to wait for several minutes during hard reset. when I press green button - nothing happens. I did not try to flash my XDA before those problems appeared. no it did not turn on even after 5 minutes... :-( please help!!!!
I had installed KSE TrueFax 2 and this power issue happened to me. Could not switch it on at the XDA at all, and had to so a soft-reset to get it to switch on. After I uninstalled the fax sowftware, everything worked okay again.
so you can power phone on pressing button and dping soft reset. yes? what do you see? wallaby bootloader? what to do next to run operational system? I just see 4 color stripes and below GSM OK, that is all, what should I press?
dmjass, it seems to me that you have lost or corrupted your rom, if you havent been flashing the xda its beyond me why this should happen. I would download a new rom, not radio stack, just the rom and use the sd card method of flashing, this should restore your system if the hardware is all ok, you have a working bootloader and an intact gsm stack so give it a try as you have nothing to lose by doing this.
I think trying to do the SD-card ROM update is your best bet as well.
If it turns out that you cannot get your unit running again, I would be interested in purchasing it for testing purposes and replacement parts.
Good luck!

thank you friends for your advices, but please let me know how to perform flashing rom by sd card. I will appreciate all your help, please describe that process in details. ok? thank you.
PDA bad ROM?
I am experiencing the same problem after having dropped it off my belt clip. Now the unit just says "Welcome to T---Mobile, G324e4 // R6.25.02 // 4.01.16 and none of the buttons work except for the boot stylus ones. Can anyone help?
Hello community!
I own 2 Vibrants, both rooted with no issues. I'm no stranger to flashing through Odin, I've flashed many of the Vibrants in my workplace back to the stock 2.1 (seems to fix most of the issues short of GPS problems, even though it's supposed to be the same), so download mode is nothing new to me.
Recently a few of the people who've come to me with Vibrants have shown how they can't get in to recovery or download mode without using ADB, the hardware keys just don't seem to work for it. I've tried myself and was able to confirm this. We were still able to root them with no issues using one click root. I prefer to manually flash the update.zip myself, but whatever does the job. I've just received a replacement for one of the Vibrants (menu button went out), and noticed I can not get in to recovery/download mode. Naturally I rooted, installed terminal, then rebooted in to download mode, started a flash with Odin.
It hung on cache.rfs. I waited... and waited.. and it mocked me in it's frozen status. So now I'm at the phone+!+computer screen, which I've been at several times on my main Vibrant, but the key's still do not work for download mode. To clarify, I've tried each of the following methods to enter in to download mode, several times. It won't work. I'm in the process of trying different button combination's to see if there is another way to get in. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Try this.
1. Take out battery, put it back in. (to turn the phone fully off)
2. Don't turn it the phone on!
3. Plug the phone into your PC, do not hit the power button!
4. See if the phone shows anything on the screen (powers on its own when plugged in)
IF the phone screen does 'turn on' after being plugged in without you hitting the power button, so far so good.
5. Now while it's on like this, hold the volume up AND volume down buttons.
6. Hold the power button as well as the volume buttons until the screen goes black.
7. As soon as the screen goes black, let go of the power button! But DON'T let go of the volume buttons!

Hello,
If the above does not work for you.
Can you supply a full dump of the phone? Perhaps I/others can take a look at it.
Thanks!
I have tried that. I have tried almost every combination I can think of. I have tried holding both volume rockers then inserting the battery while plugged in to USB, holding the power through 1 and 2 cycles, I have even tried 3 and 4 cycles as well. I have tried just vol down, just vol up, both with the same results. I have purposefully bricked my main Vibrant to test this out and make sure I wasn't losing my mind. I was able to get in to download mode several ways, none of which work on this new device.
@rhcp0112345 - How do I grab a full dump of the phone? I'll be honest, I've never spent very long in phone+!+computer before tonight. I've never been stuck here long enough to see how to connect via computer. At this moment, plugging the phone into the pc gives me no prompts that something has been plugged in, the phone isn't seen by adb (big shock) or Odin. I'm at a loss myself.
Well,
First thing.
Can you please dump like so:
Code:
adb shell
su
busybox ls -al /dev/block/
Post that here.
Also,
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if="/dev/block/bml0!c" of=/sdcard/bml0.backup
Please 7zip the bml0.backup file and upload it someplace and PM me the info. Dont post it public.
Thanks!
I'll be happy to do that with the next device I have this issue with, but I can't boot the phone, therefore I can't connect via ADB (been trying, if I could do adb, I could just simply 'adb reboot download' to get in to download mode). I'm thinking at this point I will have to exchange the phone, as I can't get past the phone+!+computer screen no matter what I try.
I was running into this problem too. I re-extracted the files and tried again and it worked. I also tried it without loading the .pit into odin, not sure which of two or both did it. Not sure if its the right way, but that did it after hangin on the cache numerous times.

Follow the unbrick method.
You pull the battery and some other stuff.
To get it past that.
I think its volume up? + power?
Yeah, removing the .pit file seems to fix the lock up issue in Odin, but unfortunately, I'm not even getting to the download screen, so I can't get Odin to find the phone. I'm sure once I get to download mode I can get it running, but I'm unable to get download mode on this one device.

2. Don't turn it the phone on!

If you mean this solution to fix any brick, I have tried that method, it doesn't work on this new device. I originally used this thread when I was messing with my first Vibrant, and it worked beautifully, but it doesn't work on the new vibrant.
So I've pretty much given up on trying to figure this out. I've tried every method possible, all work on both my non-replacement vibrants, but nothing works on the replacement one. Going to have it replaced again and have a new one ordered out. When that one gets here, I will test download/recovery modes, if I have any issues, I'll pull the dump file and post it here, maybe someone can figure out what's going on. On the back of the device, the IMEI sticker has manufacture dates (year.month), looks like the replacement was a 10.7 just like my original Vibrant, so it's not a manufacturer date type issue, it's got to be something changed in the software side of things. It's almost as though the volume rocker keys do not work for recovery/download mode, I get the exact same thing as if I'm just pressing the power button. When I did get in to recovery (before getting to it's current state), the volume keys worked fine for selection though. I can confirm that there is no new information on tmob's side about how to do a hard reset using the hardware buttons (ie, recovery mode) as of this posting.
Did you try with the phone OFF..
1. Have ODIN running
2. Hold Volume Down + Up
3. Plug in USB (WHILE HOLDING VOLUMES buttons in)
Should go directly into DOWNLOAD mode
I did try that as well. Works beautifully on both my old Vibrants, but not on this new one.

@ Johnny12times: Dude u'r right. I've played around with a few different vibrants and they could all go into "download mode" - but when receiving a replacement unit (within the last 2 days), nothing works to go into download mode. Something has definitely changed - not sure what.
Good luck bro - hope it all works out.
I received my Vibrant last Thursday (8/19). I have never been able to boot into recovery mode using the buttons. Needed to root by using one-click.
Ive also tried every button combo and am still unable to get recovery or download. I received the phone last fri (8/20). Its so frustrating knowing that so many other people can get manual recovery. Im sending it back tomorrow for replacement, but who knows if that one will even work? I hope someone figures out why so many vibrants are unable to do this. Good luck!
Well my new one should be here within the next day or so, as soon as it arrives I'll check it and pull a dump file. I'm not savvy enough to figure out how to fix it, but at least smart enough to put it here for the people that can.
How about this:
1. Remove SD and SIM card
2. Remove battery
3. plug the phone into USB
4. hold down vol-up and vol-down
5. pop the battery back in while holding vol buttons
Hi,
i bought a Touchpad on Ebay. The problem is that i can't get it into Recovery or anything else. The screen went all black. I tried several key combinations (volume up + power, home + volume up + power). When i plug it to my pc it recognizes a device. I also tried the WebOS Doctor but no success. Is there a other possibility to bring it back to live?
Greetings Markus
You say it's recognized, so that's a start. Try this:
Press and hold VolUp + Power, then repeatedly hit Home about 15-20 times. You won't notice anything happening, but that forces it to do a hard poweroff. Then, press-and-hold Power + VolUp + Home, and that should turn it on in WebOS Recovery Mode.
Actually, you dont have to do all these weird button combinations to get into recovery. just holding down the home button and the power button for about 10 seconds forces a reboot. When it restarts, but before the HP logo appears, just hold down the volume up button to go into webOS recovery. You will know you are in recovery when you get a big usb symbol in the middle of the screen. If you ran the webOS doctor, you would have had to do this so when you say you ran the doctor, did it actually run it?

Hi,
thank you for your answers. I have tried these combinations several times, but with no success. But I can hear, when the device is connected to my PC (Windows), that peep peep sound when you plug in an USB device. So there will be a reset of the device i think.

Maybe the screen is dead. If your Touchpad is off, I dont think the computer will recognize it until its turned on. If your computer is recognizing it, I would think that it is on, just not displaying anything. When you press the volume buttons, do you hear any sound indicating the volume is being adjusted?
When you bought it off of ebay did you make sure it didnt say broken or for parts only, something like that? How much did you buy it for?

Deleted partition? Thats probably not good. So did the seller actually describe that it wasnt turning on and working? If, somehow, they deleted the whole operating system off of the tablet, including recovery, you might be in a bad place with that. There MAY be a way to force load webOS on the device but I, personally, don't know about that. Someone with more computer skills will have to help you. If the seller didnt explain that it wasnt even turning on, You should try to contact them.
Hi, he did mention that.
But i thought the recovery mode still works. So my fault.

Ah. Well I dont know if there is a way to get it to work. If anyone can help you though, it would be the people over at webOS Nation. Maybe try asking over there. webOS devices are their thing.

So I have two of my old Galaxy S2's which needed their charging port fixed. So after a very long time of collecting dust, I decided I'd fix them, and sell them on.
Now we run into a problem. Phone 1 is fine, I'll be able to do something with that since I can access recovery. Phone 2 is a major pain.
It is pattern locked, and for the life of me don't even remember using pattern lock, so who knows what the bloody pattern is. No data is enabled on the device is seems, so Google can't help me.
Also, seems USB debugging is off, because I can't get ADB to see the phone. This surprises me, because I always have it on.
Now the killer. I can't get into recovery. I've tried all sorts of button combinations, but it simply will not load it. There doesn't seem to be any download mode on it either.
Now, this phone has a custom ROM, so this trikes me as odd, but my brain seems to be telling me I may have had a problem with this phone and recovery in the past.
I'd really appreciate any help in getting into these phones so I can sell them.
Samsung have been about as useful as a wet sock, and Vodafone Australia, well, they're the other sock.
Hopefully someone can help me out.:good:
can you get it into downloading mode (home botton + volume down + power button)?
and wich android on it ?

No, that's not working either.
Right, so I just opened the phone again. I have managed to break the volume rocker ribbon. At least now I can move towards a fix. Sorry to bother you all.
No download mode or recovery, no data = you're not fixing it without doing something drastic on the hardware side (as you've just found out).
ask if is there a way to do a factory reset from computer
hi, brought the used gear fit from gumtree, was using it for few hours, later when exploring i somehow got into pin lock screen and got struck, can someone help me to reset, done the reset by pressing and holding power button for 7 seconds still its asking me the pin, feeling like i'm lost :crying:

They changed the combo to reset it in the newer versions. I don't know what it is though.

Can you try connecting it to a different device? This will reset it if you can do it.
i had the same problem, also messed with odin to try to get rid of the pincode .
i installed oldest software in my language and did the 20 sec reset.
it worked for me, now updating to last version

Hi Alex,
can you explain more specifically what did you do to reset PIN code? I am trying many possibilities with no luck. With ODIN I downloaded the oldest firmware, but 20sec reset mentioned above also didn't work.
Thanks
EDIT: Resolved by flashing like in this article: http://www.addictootech.com/manually-upgrade-samsung-gear-fit-via-pc-odin/
You need BL and CSC files also to reset settings.
i can not get into my samsung gear fit
I played and locked it. I reached here searching for answers how to unlock it. And got successful.
What I did was HOLD the power button. After a few seconds, Display shows Power Off menu. DO NOT release the power button and hold until it restarts. When it booted back the PIN was no there and lucky enough that no data was lost on the watch.
The Software version on my watch is R360XXU1ERC7.
Hope that helps!
