nevermind. mods please delete if you can.
You can turn it on? I mean it has force closes but is it possible to use for any amount of time? If so get to USB debugging turn it on and use "adb reboot download"

settings will not open, apps do not show, i cant even mount the usb. it just comes up to a black screen along with the status bar. i can hit the menu key a billion times, but its a no go on settings.
I mean this seems silly to ask... But you did try the actual way to get into download mode right?
Hold both volume up and down, then power on device?
about 40-50 times by now.
having the same thing can't jump to download mode. lf someone to help.

Hold the Power button and the home button at the same time for about 10-15s, and it'll reboot.
that worked, thank you.
This may be a noob type question, but how do I get out of "download mode" if I accidentally did the "volume down + home + power" trying to get into recovery? I've tried pressing buttons and even launched ODIN again to see if it had an obvious option to reboot (without downloading a file). I'm afraid to pull the battery unless I hear that it's okay to do so. Please help!
You can simply hold the power button for 5-8 seconds until the phone turn off. You can also do a battery pull, but only if you're not flashing anything.
If you don't have the usb cable plugged in. I don't think it will go into Download mode.
Remember to release the Power button after you feel the phone vibrate once.

You can go into download mode at any time.
power off the phone and remove the battery for a few seconds and then put it back in. Press your power button and after the phone screen turns on press and hold the volume down button until the phone boots up. It should enter safe mode and display some text near the bottom of the screen.
This loads the phone without any Play Store apps active.

That's the way it was on the Droid Incredible 2. On the original Dinc, it was Volume Down + Optical joystick. You don't have to remove your battery to do this, though, or even turn the power off. A simple restart works.

lol. I wish. Safe mode, as in a desktop operating system, lets you enter the OS without allowing problems plaguing your system from apps or other things generally causing problems. You can uninstall apps or change settings to fix issues. If you're overclocking with an app like SetCPU and having problems, it lets you boot into the OS without the overclock which may be causing the issues. If the overclock is built into the kernel or set before boot, you'll have to find another way.
Hi you all wonder full people
i am having a problem with my vibrant when i shut down completely. Right now its rooted and running the 4.2.1 hellbean rom. this problem has been happening before i even installed the 4.2.1.
So what happens is that after shut down the screen is turned off and this loading circular icon keeps flashing on the screen and wont stop.
Also when i connect the usb wire to the phone and try to turn it on. The android guy pops up doing some construction work with a spade and tells me to do not turn of power downloading or something like that. its in yellow. it can be real problem turning the phone on.
So question is how do i make my problems go away?
only way to turn this phone on right now is to connenct it to the charg er and then turn it on
The android guy and triangle is download mode, don't know about the other.
I am Jack's inflamed sense of rejection.

sow how do i stop it from going to download mode. cuz right now the only way the phone starts is by plugging it in to the charger.
Well you could try using Odin to go back to stock but I'm not sure if that will help.
What does it do after download mode pops up?
Your situation is very unique.
Would you prefer my usual method of conflict resolution?

it does nothing after the download mode popup .
right now the major problem is the loading icon that pops up after i shut down the phone the only way to turn the phone on was connecting my charger to the wall and then my phone and then turning it on.
recently i deleted many folders from the internal memory when connected to the computer because there were some apps that i deleted a long time ago but they left there folders. So perhaps in the cleanup duty i deleted something important?--> this was before the flashing of the new rom.
and whats your usual method to resolve conflict. sell the phone?
I think you might have issues with power button/volume rocker.

I am going to explaing my situation again just to make things clear
Main problem wont turn on after shutdown unless connected to charger on the wall
The phone is showing a loading icon a smal white frayed circle in the middle when its turned off continuosly flashing.
The phone wont turn on unless i connect it to the charger that is connected to the wall and press the up volume button and the power on button.
When its connected to the computer through usb it goes straight to download mode with yellow android icon appearing with the shovel
When its not connected to any power source and is turned off the phone continuously flashes the loading icon that i mentioned above.
Also i think this problem might have occured when i tried to clean files from the main sd card that were useless or i thought were useless as apps can leave behind many folders once uninstalled.

update: it wasnt the power and rocker button. Something is up with the power jack. I took the usb and pressed hard on the power jack and the pressure seems to have fixed the problem. For now.
Dear all I have look up in the past posts but it doesn't help
The phone show a 100% charged battery logo when plug in to PC, but won't turn on
ADB Interface cannot list the phone (maybe I didn't turn on the debugging mode before this problem happens)
The phone cannot go into Recovery/Download mode
When I put it on charge, it vibrate and charge symbol shows for a few seconds and then it would go to sleep. If I press volume up/down or home button, the charge symbol pops up again. but not for the power button.
Please Help. Thanks.
Hmm. It either could be really sinister... Or simple.
Have you considered the power button may be faulty? That would account for it not turning on, but waking when you press the volume key. It would also not allow you to enter recovery or download mode. Its apparently (I haven't needed to myself) not hard to DIY replace it. Search on here/google for how to do it, I don't have a specific guide in mind though sorry.
