Hi all,
I would like to know how to restart or reboot SGS2 like what we do in windows phones. I am not talking about factory reset just restart...

Flash a rom which has advanced power menu then select reboot after pressing power button. (most roms have this)
Or there is an app called quick boot or fast boot something like that. You can reboot using that as well.

a million thanks, that's what I was looking for.
I have tried it. The phone was off but it never boot again. Just stay off. Am I making any mistake? Whenever I press and hold the power button, on the screen will appear several choices, one of them is the power off. But I just ignored it and keep pressing the power button.

+1, the phone does not reboot, just switches off. Need to power up again!
Push and HOLD all together: Volume up, on/off and Menu Key.
After some seconds it reboots (still hold the keys) and it runs in a selection menu. Here you can select " Warmstart" or clear cache before and then do a Warmstart.
Nothing will be destroyed, because its NOT a Factory reset (Coldstart).
???? Some crazy suggestions here.
Anyway, get SwitchPro widget (from the Market). There's a reboot button in it that pops up a menu for reboot, download or recovery.
It needs root to work. Any software method of rebooting your device will need root.

Okay, in that case, you need to use the power menu that you have to turn the phone off, and turn it back on again.

Which phone are these options on???
Warmstart ?? or do you just mean reboot which is the same as powering phone off and then on via power button and avoids recovery menu .

I managed to crack the screen on my S2 and need to send it for repair. Is there a way of wiping all data and formatting the internal storage without the use of the screen?
I'm feeling very very at the minute

If you can get into recovery mode (shut off phone, once its off then hold power, volume UP and home button together until the Galaxy s I9100 splash screen shows, then immediately let all buttons go and it will take you into recovery) from there you use the volume rocker to make selection and home key to enter selection. There is an option to factory reset in this recovery menu.
Hope that helps...
Thanks for the reply but the problem is the screen has broke so it wont display anything.

Aaaaahhh... Thats not good. Hmmm... I really dont know then... Sorry
Ive got an idea if you dont mind helping me out. Could you tell me the sequence of buttons to press to wipe the cache\data and to format storage?
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA Premium App
its the second option in the recovery menu, so volume down twice and home button to select
Did you setup the samsung security tracking? You can do a remote wipe of the phone with it via samsungdive.com

Maybe you can get a MHL adapter and plug it on your TV, I wonder if it works if its on recovery mode.
Hi,
Thank you for samsungdive.com website. Couldn't find this.

goto recovery
press VOL DOWN twice, press power button
press VOL UP 5 times, press power button
Would it not be easier to flash a stock firmware via ODin .
Vol Down + Power + Home wait a second or two then volume up .
Connect cable and flash stock or original rom .

Are you trying to go into download mode with the phone ON, or OFF?
To go to download mode:
1. turn phone off
2. hold Vol-Down + Home
3. while holding above buttons, push and hold power
4. should get a screen with green text saying something like "to continue, push Vol-Up, to reboot, push Vol-Down"
Get a USB Jig! They are really cheap
Solved! I've tryed with home+volume down+on/off button, and it worked. When i do volume down+home+on/off, it always pass download mode. Strange...

Don't release the buttons until you see download mode.

I just wanna do a hard reset on the phone. I know under privacy there's factory reset I want to do a hard reset clear cache the phones running like crap. I did get into download mode. But this is not what I want. My skyrocket have an option to hold vol up and down the power button together and getting into hard reset mode. I'm trying this with the note but no luck. I also tried holding volume button down and power, puts me into download mode I'm not trying to hook up my computer to it. Thanks

the trick is to hold both volume up and down at same time then hit power button. once you feel the phone vibrate let off the power button. inside of there you will get your bootloader and not download mode

For those users that are unlocked, this app will give you a boot menu.

Is there a way to bind this to the long press on the lock/power button on the side?

Long pressing the power will do a hard reboot, used if phone were to become froze and unresponsive.I can't answer your question on how you would change that function.

I guess I mean medium press? The one that brings up the menu of what you'd like to do, shutdown shutdown and restart, etc. Well before it just shuts off from holding it down.
Works perfectly!

You know, like on all the aosp and cyanogen ROM's. Push the power button and you get the option to boot to recovery, download mode, restart, shut off, etc...

I have been using this app for almost 2 years. Grab the app "Swipepad" and its probably the quickest way to reboot or boot to recovery

I disagree, if you are using The Base this is the quickest way to reboot to recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035273
Hey guys, I just got my rooted and S-Off'd DNA! I checked and it has root and I checked and it is S-Off. The phone came to me with Torrented's ROM on it. But when I hold the volume up button and the power button, it won't boot into recovery. I get the white HTC splash screen and then it reboots again into the splash screen again. If I let go, it will reboot into the phone like normal.
Am I doing something wrong? There should be a custom recovery installed already correct?
Thanks!

That worked, thanks a ton! Damn, I feel dumb lol.
I also noticed that if you have the fast boot/shutdown option checked that it is harder to get into the bootloader.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
For anyone else coming through, you should disable fast boot to get into recovery. Also, when in doubt, use adb: "adb reboot bootloader"
Booting Into Recovery
OOR, you can turn off phone completly, then turn back on as you hear the first vibrate-let go of power, then hold Volume down. (Sameo Samo...:fingers-crossed
Or, he can get a Note2.
I have fastboot selected and access bootloader everytime by holding power button, capacitive buttons flash and pop up counts down to reboot, as soon as the pop up comes up continue to hold power down and press and hold vol down till bootloader is displayed
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
If you have adb set up, a simple way to do this is to just run "adb reboot recovery"
