So ive been wondering since on this phone with the built in battery you cant do battery pulls for things like bad flashes or just to fix issues, what exactly is the workaround for fixing issues. Im not anywhere near the level of some people on here when it comes to flashing roms and fixing issues so ive been very curious about this cuz i really wouldnt know what to do if i flashed a rom got and got a bootloop...the only thing i could think of waiting for the battery to run out.
So whos got answers
here ya go

Way to be completely unhelpful. Did you look at your own google search? No answer.
I think it is a legitimate question.
Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. This should restart the phone.
actually it is in there. it's the 6th result down, and it happens to be another thread just like this in this exact forum, but I thought we were all big boys and girls and knew how to search.
Let me spoon feed something that has already been discussed. If you hold the power button down for 10 seconds it will hard reset your phone.
If you want it to reboot into bootloader, hold vol-down while doing so and continuing to hold it until the bootloader comes up.

It was actually the first result?
Anyways, I know how to google and do my research but I hadn't even really thought about this question yet. Glad someone posted it up. Hate that lmgtfy **** lol. A simple one sentence answer would suffice. And you know, of course you could always add that lmgtfy link after you answer the question.
Thanks for the question!

Thanks because that really had me worried too, almost had me reconsider my preorder and wait for the GS3 to be released. However I'm still a bit unsure if it will work when you need it...
Someone force yourself into a bootloop or splash screen hang and give it a try for us.
Tell us your results afterwards.

i tried it in the middle of a boot and it worked perfectly.
one more thing
Let's see how hard this is too brick, of course we need a volunteer. root your phone, unlock the boot loader. Put the RUU on your sd-card, go into bootloader, while the RUU is flashing, somehow kill power to the phone, let me know what happens

I am trying to unlock my bootloader so im using the automatic thing..
My phone says failed to boot 0x1000. it warned me that this might happen and that i can use the volume keys to select fastboot but the volume keys arent doing anything..
help!
when youre phone is first booting, the very first thing you have to do is hold the down volume key (instantly after boot starts) and then press the up volume key to select it
ok so i did that and now at the bottom it says
"current choice is mode:
fastboot
starting fastboot protocall support"
the next step it tells me to do is turn off the phone while i press and hold volume down
but it wont let me turn it off.. the power button isnt doing anything
please if somoene could help mee
skip that step. You already did that step (what I just told you to do). You now have to run the fastboot protocols that they tell you to use in the "pudding" thread
edit: don't worry man. I'm here to help. Just keep telling me whats going on
i THINK i MAY have figured it out!!!
the phone now has the big Motorola sign with dualcore technology under it and it says
unlocked at the top right.
ill let you know if it eventually finished turning on..
EDIT:
does it usually take this long??????
sounds like you took care of it. If it says unlocked, youre good!
Good job man
does it ever boot? does it take a long time the first boot?
its still at that screen. -- never done this before if you cant tell.
no worries man. Give it a couple minutes!
You'll learn a lot as you keep doing more and more. In case your contacts get deleted, be sure to check out an app called "contact restoration" in the app market from moto. Works great. And be sure to check out faux123's 1.3 OC kernel (most stable I've seen so far) and either the Alien 4 rom or CyanogenMod7 pre-beta 3 (what I run and I love it)
okay ill give it a couple more minutes hopefully itll do somtehing
and yeah I want to put the alien rom on here.. is cm7 pre beta 3 better working than alien?
what do you think
EDIT:
its still at that same screen.. should i be worried yet?
well, for you, I'd suggest running alien build 4 with the alien 4 theme. It runs really smooth and has very few issues. You should do some research into CM7 though...I can do lots of cool **** with my phone that I never knew was even possible with a cellphone
The only problem is it's not a very good "all day, everyday" rom. Some things dont work and there are some quirks but all basic functions work well
stillllll..
man...that's a little unusual. I've never heard of it doing that. Let me ask a buddy real quick
okay because its still doing it haha gt back to me soon !!
That happened to me, just pull battery and reset

Alien 4 (or any build) for a standard, everyday rom for sure.
yeah thats the one i am downloading right now.
I rooted the phone now and installed superuser.
once i download the rom and put it in my phones storage do i get intwo cwm by holding power and volume down ?
and then do i just flash it

can you boot into recovery at least?
Mine died also. It is like the battery is completely dead but I charged it overnight. Cannot put in usb mode or anything. Even plugging it into a pc does nothing .
I held the power and center buttton for 15 seconds and the screen came on saying I needed to plug it in.. charging it again now. But might be all right...

Have you tried long pressing HOME + POWER?
have you tried WebOS Doctor to restore back to stock?
I would recommend you hard power it off by power and center buttton for 15 seconds.
Make sure you have charged it
Then Run the webOSdoctor program.
For me I rebooted the tablet and held the volume up button until the USB symbol popped on the screen...then the WEBOS Doctor found the tablet and we where on the road to recovery.
Give it a shot and let us know if you got any love. You won't be the first or the last to get this issue.
I also had the black screen. Had to do the pwr + home to get it back. It may be because it was on really low power when I left it on my Touchstone. Oddly enough it was fully charged when I got it to turn on.

Further proof not one person read the notes with release...
It's not intended for use by the general public. The fact you are having these issues shows it's not for you...
So read the docs, uninstall it, and use webOS. Learn to read the documents at least 3 times too... I had to install without pages of guides... Had zero issues despite my touchpad being a mess of partitions... You people are blessed with a guide, yet can't even manage it.
I can't switch on my HP Touchpad ! Mine don't respond to power and to reset neither (power + home + volume up).. Have you got any idea ? She's got batery and is plugged on sector !

You're so right dude, I pretty much know what I'm doing and even I got a bit freaked when I got the black screen but I read the docs and went to the issues log to find he answer just like it says. This is an alpha release, albeit an absolute triumph in itself, and improvements will come.
Check the issues log peeps before clogging up the forums, the last few threads here are all answered or logged at least.
If you don't understand the instructions you shouldn't be following them! No offence to Garret though, I'm sure his is a real issue.

Hahahahahahaha.....this is some funny stuff. You don't even know your *****ing about. Is pulser a "developer"?! That is too rich.
Question...
if you turn it off... (hold down the power + the home button for ~ 20 seconds)... then volume up and power do you get the USB symbol on the screen? If it's still not responding at all, try pluging it into the wall with your power brick for 5-10 minutes then try again...
If you can get the usb symbol, it's not bricked...
It may not be happy, but it's not bricked.
If you feel excitable... you can google for instructions on how to recover from precentral... ('cause you'll likely need to get your hands dirty and play with lvm via novacom to fix it)
You could try calling HP, but remember you chose to void your warranty when you loaded android...

Worked for me after I nerfed one crucial part of the install.
I think I'll wait till its out of beta to give it a whirl. I hate that feeling of not knowing if I messed up. I've had that feeling too many times going way to the days of my g1.
I don't think its cool to blame cyanogenmod for something you did to your device.
I leave it booted into webos overnight just to make sure and I can also charge it with the touchstone as it doesn't seem to work in android :-(

I bricked my galaxy note i717 beyond recovery with a regular jig. I've looked into jtag but I haven't found any information whether it's viable for the i717 (i.e. which jtag it's using, which box I would need, where I would need to bring it etc etc.)
So here's my question: Do any of you guys know any more about how to unbrick the phone or details about whether/how to unbrick using jtag?
Maybe I've overlooked something else. Here's how it went down:
I was stupid and tried to flash the phone with firmware for the N7000 because I was overexcited and didn't know that it wasn't an n7000. Now the recovery mode wouldn't let me upgrade (understandable reasons I guess) so I decided to force flash it with odin which also didn't let me upgrade the phone. So I used some method relying on adb. The process took way to long so I unplugged the phone mid-way through it, then replugged it and suddenly the process reported success. So the phone started rebooting just that instead of actually booting up it stayed black. Pressing any of the buttons yields no response - neither vibration nor any screen response. Using the usb jig also yields no response but I'm not entirely sure if there's a jig method that might work - or a key combo that might work - or even a usb method that might work.
Anyway any advice would be highly appreciated.
Did you try return to the store where you boought it? If your phone don't show anything on the screen, there is no way store knows what's going on with your phone unless you tell them the truth
That's exactly what I would do

That's not guinea pig. He did couple wrong things in a row (wrong ROM, god know what he is doing with abd and then unplug the phone in the middle of flashing or something). If I'd make a guess, he screwed up the bootloader.

Try your buttons...
Everybody's talking about whether you tried to get into download mode with buttons, but You have not said for sure you tried it.
Hold down down volume button, home button and power button all at the same time. You don't know for sure until you try it.

I know on some phones that download mode can still be activated even if the screen isn't working properly and displaying it. I know many infuse users ran into problems and were still able to use Odin to flash stock and fix their phone. Try doing the hardware method of getting into download mode, and even though your screen doesn't show anything, it may still connect to Odin and you could try to flash back to stock.

U cant brick these phones.use the hardware buttons to get into download mode.
Take battery out and put it back in.hold power vol down and home for 20sec and then press vol up and plug into ur pc with odin running.u should see something on port section.
If that dont work.hold power and both vol. Buttons for 30 sec. Then press vol.up and plug in usb.hope it works.

Actually, you can brick it to the point of needing JTAG repairs to restore your device. That being said, it's very very very hard to brick it. You have to do something like flash firmware for a completely wrong device and screw up your bootloaders in the process.

I've read some so my suggestion is this:
First make sure that you have the drivers installed for your phone. Then pull the battery wait for a few seconds. press the down button and then the power to go in download mode and hold them pressed for 20s. Now plug in the USB and press the volume up button. If Odin detects it you're good to go! If not... Well it's worth a shot
My theory is that even though the screen is blank, the hardware still boots properly. Just make sure your battery is somewhat charged. And also plug in the USB AFTER you "boot" in download mode.

Why don't you find Adam_Outler in the hardware hacking forum? Send your phone to him and he'll hopefully be able to create an unbrickable mod. Not only will you likely have a fixed phone but it will mean volumes for our community.
Note, you will be without a phone for a bit

It's not that, we've all made mistakes, but it's like this guy went out of his way to try to brick the phone. This isn't like "oh crap, I flashed the wrong radio"
He tried to flash a ROM from a different SoC and every fail-safe wouldn't let him do it. I'm surprised at how well the different programs tried to save his phone, then he actually went ADB and forced it onto his phone and then he unplugs during a flash.
It's like he drove his car without paying attention and hit a fence that prevents you from flying off a cliff, then he kept ramming his car into the fence, then took some C4, blew up the fence, drove off the cliff, then started yelling "help, I fell off the cliff"

I'm confused, is there a CDMA Note? What do you mean "they won't know it's GSM"?
My power button recently stopped working. Luckily MeanROM allows you to wake the phone using the camera button. I decided I was going to go to Sprint to get the phone replaced. I began to follow the procedures for REGAW S-ON to restore it to stock as to not have any problems with Sprint. After running the RUU it left my phone in the bootloader, where I cannot get out of since I cannot select a command with the power button.
Anybody? I'm pretty much without a phone right now and am afraid that if the phone's battery dies I won't be able to turn it on at all. Right now its on stuck in the bootloader...
UPDATE: Phone is no longer on, the battery died. Is there a way to turn it on without the power button??
its risky because I dont know this for certain as Ive never attempted it but you should be able to load an update.zip or pmg.zip to your sd, although trying to get the phone to recognize it is a different matter, you would need to somehow power cycle. I know there is an easy solution to this I just cant think of it
edit: this is just me because I can be very stubborn but you could jab and poke and prod the power button mercilessly until it jumps into fastboot....that is if bootloader is still unlocked.....darn, this is a hard one
If the phone dies and I take it to Sprint, is there any way they can turn it back on? Or can I just tell them the power button does not work and they warranty it...
The repair center may try to clean or replace the power button and then power on the device, which may or may not lead to a very confused and possibly scared tech

I was trying to think of a good use case for adb and the OP has given it to me, thank you
So, I decided to stick with stock and what do I get? A phone that randomly stops working like I flashed a custom rom on it :X
All jokes and the sad situation aside, when plugged in i can get the Download Mode to stay open (else it closes after 3sec when not plugged in), figured I would try and flash the Stock Kernel to try and recover some of my app data but can only get to download mode so cant use recovery!
Can someone throw together an Odin flash-able Stock 4.1.2 Galaxy Note i717 Kernel together for me? Id like to try that before I outright flash over the entire rom through Odin!
Thanks!

All jokes and the sad situation aside, when plugged in i can get the Download Mode to stay open (else it closes after 3sec when not plugged in), figured I would try and flash the Stock Kernel to try and recover some of my app data but can only get to download mode so cant use recovery!
Can someone throw together an Odin flash-able Stock 4.1.2 Galaxy Note i717 Kernel together for me? Id like to try that before I outright flash over the entire rom through Odin!
Thanks!

ok, I read that you have seemingly more than ample experience here o XDA, so I want to give you the respect that is due, however you post is a wee bit confusing. maybe that's due to a lack of some other information.
let me ask a few questions.
is this phone new to you?
can you get to about phone info? what does it say?
I don't understand you download mode information..........
if you were trying t flash stock kernel, then your not on stock?
if you are on stock, then you HAVE stock kernel?
what recovery are you supposed to have?
no offense meant, but you HAVE pressed VOL UP & DOWN and POWER until vibe and logo then releasing POWER for download mode right?
again no offense, but sometimes the simplest things right.......

None taken been around the block a few times...
As for the phone, its basically in need of replacement by my thoughts, but I wanted to try and salvage some of my app data files:
WITHOUT the power plugged in, the unit does nothing but vibrate when I press the VOL Down, and any other key combos do not make the unit respond either.
When I remove the battery, then hold the VOL Down button... down... then put the battery back in, the unit will start in "Download mode" but even if I leave it on the screen or hit the up arrow to continue, after a few seconds it just shuts off and wont stay on.
However when I remove the battery, then hold the VOL Down, then plug in the adapter, it boots into download mode and doesnt shut off after a few moment's (however it wont start normally when I plug it in, just eternally vibrate).
The unit is an AT&T Variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note, specifically just the SGH-i717
The unit was/is running STOCK ROM+Kernel
I was making the request for the Stock Kernel for an Odin flash because when I had the Stock 4.0.4 I had a very identical situation occur (the difference being back then I could get and stay in download mode without using the power adapter) and used the Stock Odin Kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
To get back into the unit and continue on without issue.
So the core of my post remains the same I need an Odin flash-able Stock AT&T 4.1.2 i717 kernel
*Your right, been here a while, I have tried again and again to grasp doing my own builds and all that other stuff when it comes to development and "do it yourself" and while I can fix a computer, build one, troubleshoot one, when it comes to Code... I am SO lost without a cause its not funny, so making the kernel file for myself is like asking me to walk on water when I am perfectly able to swim laps around someone who is ...
Sounds like you more than likely have a bad battery or a stuck power button. Mine had stuck on two separate occasions and just sits there vibrating and can't get it to boot or anything. Since I'm pretty sure you are out of warranty you can take a small screw driver and guitar pick to take it apart and use a little rubbing alcohol to clean the button.

kind of with RQUIETT............
after reading more detailed post, the first thing that came to my head was the stuck power button issue which has plagued many.
the battery, I have seen many have that too.
I am definitely not he brainpan to just whip up a kernel like it were a batch of cookies or something, I am still just curious as to why you keep going on about just the kernel, but to each there own.
good luck and keep us posted

if you are still curious then you failed to read my last post... reading not required I guess
Ill check the power button, but it definitely doesn't feel stuck, gives the wonderfully audible click still (been in an otterbox the whole time), I also had the local AT&T store order me a replacement battery, if not Insurance claim it will be.
Random thought, the thing that doesnt add up is that if its a stuck power button, then it would STILL turn off when plugged in to the AC/PC, which it doesnt... but Im willing to give it a try because If fear they will try and replace my wonderful 16:10 screen with a ****ty 16:9 one... (sorry, for all the wow of the GN2, its to NARROW for my use)

if anyone reads around here it is me, and I think its ok for me not to understand what needing a kernel alone is going to do for you. you came cross to me as a little harsh at someone who is trying to help and little demanding to expect someone to drop what they are doing just whip up a file for you flash in Odin.
I never claim to know everything here, and again, many times what I have to say (right or wrong) will spark someone else to chime in with a more educated answer.
but hey glad to try and help you anyway
My power button never felt stuck when it was. It did a lot of what you described when it did. Sometimes you can take it out of the case and tap on the back and it will free it up

Ill go ahead and post again what I posted before (again):

I have also made bold and increased the size of the "confusing" subject matter answer for you.
Also pretty sure I never asked anyone to drop what they where doing either.
@rquiett: thanks, I will go ahead and try and disassemble it and see if thats the case, they wont be processing any claims requests until Tuesday anyway, weird stuff as its the first time I have left the Phone Stock since FJ's rom's.(the irony of a phone having an issue while on stock when I normally flash everything with a custom rom does NOT escape me)
your welcome
I blame Samsung then since you are on stock
