I am trying to hard-reset my phone. I am stuck at a black screen with a magenta LED after seeing the SE logo.
I have held the power button while holding the L/R buttons (I tried to use the s/w method but it froze.)
Now the phone does nothing but sit there like a fingerprint magnet.
What is the correct keypress combination to return this phone to factory?
It has not been flashed to 2.1 but has been rooted and had app2SD installed (the source of my issues...but that is for another day)
L/R then power? (when do I let go of each button??)
Vol down then power?
Camera then Power?
Finger up my butt then power?
Help!!
Take the battery out for 10 seconds then try again.
no difference...
Try a reflash.
17th time the charm
SEUS did the trick
went into flash mode and it's updating the phone
Tks
spoke too soon
guess I have to reflash.
I'd like to reflash to factory fresh.
Is that built into the ROM via keycommands or via ADB shell access?

Hello there
I have a Touch Pro device, and since yesterday evening, after the phone goes in sleep mode (or after i press the power button), it doesn't turn back on. I can't reset, can't Hard reset even. If i call the phone, it rings, but the screen doesn't turn on, neither the illumination of the keys, or the keyboard. If I take out the battery and put it back, it boots OK, screen works, until it goes to sleep mode, after that... the same.
I had Romeos ROMeOS² v1.90.2] when the problem started, now i was able to flash it to ShEp's Rom Ver 2.3a][WinMo 6.5][Build 21198 Ver 2][TF3D Ver 2] and the problem still persists.
Thanks for your help.
Update: I haven't done anything and now it's does not even boot, it vibrates when its turned on, and i can hear the start up melody, bot no screen and no keyboard illumination.
might help
I'm no expert, but have you tried Bootloader mode? If you can get into bootloader mode after taking out the battery and restarting, try flashing Hard SPL again then a stock ROM with a radio. With the phone plugged into the USB port it shouldn't go to sleep. If that doesn't work it may be bricked.
Untill now the phone started after i took the battery out, and i flashed it to another rom. Even after this it started up after i took the battery out, after that i haven't done anything and now it doesn't screen wont start even after i took the battery out.
The only thing i didn't try was hardspl again......
OOh man, i was trying to do a hard reset without the screen. and now if i turn the phone on, every time i press vol down/up after i certain time, the phone vibrates as when you turn it on. It's stuck at the hard reset phase ?
How is the hard reset ? Vol up to hard reset and after that vol up to boot ?
Suggest you read the wiki
Have a look at the wiki for beginners. Hard reset is normally hold VOLUME DOWN AND CENTER BUTTON then reset with stylus.
Thank you for beeng so friendly and helpfull, since the display was off, i asked what too push AFTER entering the hard reset screen. It was VolUp to hard reset, and afther that VolUp again to reboot. Or VolDown... It doesen't matter, i took the phone back to Orange warranty
I don't know what will they say... HardSPL+ Custom Rom... But phone won't start so mabey they wont notice
Cheers
Hello Community,
first of all please excuse for my bad english. I´m trying to explain my problem. Today I wanted to root my Dell and wanted to flash the newest DJ Steve ROM. All startet fine and there were no problems. I have successfully rooted my phone. After that I tried to flash the Clockwork recovery. Also this went successfully. Then I cleared the cache with fastboot. At this point my phone stucked and nothing happened. I removed the batterie, put it back in and now my phone won´t power up. I tried several opportunities I found in the World Wide Web. But nothing helped with my issue.
Somebody had the same problem and can help me out?
Thanks in advance
Did you try factory reset yet?if no!remove battery,put it back,hold the volume up and down button and press the power button(hold it at least 10 seconds)and choose factory reset.goood luck
Use a bit more peanut oil.
I tried all the things that are supposed to do. I tried to factory reset, I tried to get in fastboot modus but nothing happened. The phone didn´t even turn on. It get´s no power.
What do you mean with peanut oil? Are you kidding?

I've just done exactly the same thing, any tips on getting it working?
Tried holding down various combination of buttons to turn it on. Plugged it in to laptop to use qdl tool but nothing being detected on usb.
try keeping it connected to charger for sometime and switch is on , when connected to the charger.
If possible test that the battery is working
I've tried that but will give it another go.
Also tried connected to mains & USB with battery removed but still nothing on screen.
same situation
i sorta have the same situation but my goes to the dell screen but it doesnt go anywhere else the home and menu button lights up continuously and then stops flashing on the menu button and then it reboots what does that mean?
That doesn't sound too bad, do a factory reset with the volume buttons. If you still have no luck use clockwork mod to reflash the rom or go back to stock.
I'm getting a new one tomorrow, mine is toast.
Hey guys, the end of the story in my case was, that I had to sent my Dell to the Dell Support in Hungary. They fixed the problem quikly and today I became my Dell back. But now I´ve got a new problem. It is locked. When I bought it on ebay it was unlocked and after Dell repaired and probably flashed my Dell ich have to purchase an unlock code. Or is there another way to unlock my Dell?
My x10 is bricked and won't boot past the Sony Ericsson screen. I have trouble getting it to turn on at all, it takes a weird combination of removing the battery and holding whatever keys. All I know is that it won't turn on unless I take out the battery, put it back in, hold the volume buttons, and press power. If i'm lucky, the phone will vibrate, and seconds later I'll have the SE screen. If there is no usb plugged in, it will go to recovery. I cannot, to save my life, get this phone into flash mode. I had it like an hour ago, but for some reason flashtool got stuck on reading device information, and I couldn't get it back into flash mode since then. Can someone help?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try out the REPAIR option in SEUS or PC companion.
(also to get into flash mode follow the following steps in the same order as mentioned below :
1. remove battery and plug it in.
2. connect the usb to the x10 first.
3. finally connect the other end of the usb cable to the pc holding the back button. )
OR
you can also try out this method too
Okay, I finally got it working. But the problem is that sometimes it just randomly turns off, and doesn't turn back on again. And when it does I'm not sure why. It might be a battery but I've got three of them, and two of them are new. So it shouldn't be that. (BTW, I managed to root it, unlock the bootloader, and install FXP125 7.2 cyanogen mod. It works fine when it's turned on.) It's like it has moments where the phone works perfectly, turning on, being able to get to recovery and flash mode, and moments where it does absolutely nothing.
strange behaviour !
try to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache
or may be you could reinstall clockwork mod nd CM7 once again right from the beginning
also you should let the ROM settle before its regular use.
***EDIT***
i am also on FXP125 CM7 and so far no such behaviour.
So, I wanted to update the Rom, so tried to go into recovery mode. Pushed the volume down button instead of up, so got into download mode. Pushed the volume down button to cancel. Then pushed the right combination, but nothing past the Galaxy S2 logo with the warning triangle happened.
Tried to reboot a couple of times, but now the phone is completely dead.
Everytime I turn it on the Galaxy S2 logo appear, and when it dissappear the phone seems to be dead. However if I look closely, the screen is not turned off, it it just black (but turned on), and every 5 seconds or so I can see it "blinking", but it blinks "black" if you could say that, you won't notice it if you don't look careful, or you are in a dark room.
If you triple click the home button you normally "invert" the colours on the screen, and this also works in this case. Instead of it flashing with an almost unnoticable black, it is now white and every 5 seconds the screen turns off very briefly, but then the screen is white again.
To get it to stop doing this I need to remove battery. If I push and hold the power button the phone just restarts with the galaxy s2 logo, and then does the same again.
When I connect the phone to a charger or to a PC (while it's powered down), the battery logo appears for a couple of seconds, and then it enters this "blinking" screen thing again.
When connected to a PC it does not appear as a drive - however it seems like windows detects it, it installs the GT-9100 drivers. Samsung Kies can't connect, it just keeps trying to connect forever, without coming with an error, but it's not connecting.
Hard reset is not working in any of the described ways, whatever I do, if its to get it into recovery mode, download mode, or just trying to turn the damn phone on, it just do the blinking thing.
Is this some sort of a boot loop from hell!!?
sounds strange, can you still get it in download mode without issues?
If you can i would advice to flash back to stock(!!)
or you could try to flash a cf-root to see if thats gets you into recovery format system, data, cache, dalvik and flash the new rom.
but im not sure if that would work, a clean install from stock would be better i believe,
as to why it went this way i have no idea!
Good luck!
If you can get in download mode, flash a stock rom with odin and that should do the trick
yes!
Well, that was odd, thought I had tried that several times, but yes now at least I can get it into download.
Now I used ODIN to flash a file (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar) that I had laying on my PC from back when I was originally rooting my phone. ODIN gave me a "Pass" reply and I got the phone into a bootloader. I quickly wiped everything I could, and at the moment I'm seeing if I can boot the phone normally.
Thanks!!
Well my rom is f***** it won't boot, but atleast I can get it into recovery mode.
Have just installed cyanogen 9 stable + gapps, it is now booting up!
Luckily I backed my phone up with Titanium backup just a couple of hours ago!!!
it's working!
Well that saved my ass. I was so close to throwing my phone out of the window and going online to order a S3...
Now I'm setting up my phone - nice, wanted to try Cyanogen 9 anyway.
Cool.. Always be patient.... Rather than thinking of purchasin a new phone when these kind of situations occur. Keep a usb jig with you

Hi,
First of first, I am an idiot. I wanted to install CWM on SGP311. Firmware 4.2.2 - which was obviosly not supported. So i wanted to boot it up. I hold power button and then the screen with Sony logo appeard. After 5 seconds it went away and screen turned off for 2 seconds, then the screen shows again with Sony logo... over and over again. I cannot turn the screen off by holding power button, only by holding power and - volume. I managed to plug it to computer, adb does not work (adb reboot bootloader/adb shell ... ), Only Sony stuff works, Update Service, PCC... But when I try to repair it or restore it, it says that this firmware is not the original - because I flashed kernel.img (with CWM).
I am super stressed, is there a way to factory reset/repair... ?
And if not, how much would it cost $?
Thanks in advance.
Fixed

So happy! :good:
