Someone told me volume down + power button to take screen capture, but it doesn't work.
I have no root so suggestions would be appreciated.

You need to press them at the same time not one then the other.

It definintely does work. You have to press Power + Volume Down for 2 seconds and it will take a screenshot.
Seems I needed to reflash. I wiped everything when I flashed ICS so not sure why it wasn't working. Reset didn't help but yeah, reflashing did the trick.

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.

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 .

Does anyone know how to screen capture on ICS firmware? I've tried holding volume down+home screen but it doesnt work. Any ideas? :/

Vol down + power for 3 secs should do the trick, if not download something for screenshots on the market, of course you must be rooted
I can confirm it's the volume down button + power for 3 seconds.

Volume down + power works for me, but as far as I know both volume down + power and power + home does work
I tried to install cm-10.1-M2 using CWM, latest version. I selected to have it wipe everything and to back up the original ROM. It failed because it couldn't "find" the ZIP. Something to do with the obnoxious way Samsung treats internal memory as "sdcard" and the actual sdcard as "external_sd." I said ****it and copied the ZIPs over to the internal SD and tried again. Did not wipe the second time. Now it is stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot screen and will NOT boot into CWM for nothing. Am I just screwed? Is there something I'm missing?
Solved: I was using the wrong button combo for recovery mode (it's power, volume up, AND volume down) and you have to do the factory reset/wipe AFTER flashing the ROM, not before. Thanks to everyone! I may feel stupid but I have a working phone with sweet sweet 4.2.2 now. :good:

How are you trying to achieve booting onto recovery?

Go back into recovery and do a complete wipe. Then see if she will boot.

I've tried volume up + power + home plus a ton of variations. Everything I've found online says it should be volume up + power + home though.

Listen how new are you to this? I'm not being smart just wanna help are you pressing up the power and middle button once you feel the power come on it should vibrate then let go of the power while remaining to hold the middle and volume. If you hold them all it never worked for me just a tip.

I've got to wonder what we are working on here. My I717 has neither a home or middle button. Op ... Do you have the Note or the Note 2. Also wondering if you flash the proper rom for your phone.

Power off your device. Then press the power button again and immediately hold both the volume up and volume down buttons until after the Samsung logo disappears. It should be really fast.

Thanks for working with me. On my phone, home is not a physical "clicky" button, it's one of the soft buttons along the bottom of the front to the left of the back buttom . I tried to link to a photo but I'm too new to be allowed to post outside links. If volume up + power +home isn't it, how do you boot it into recovery?
It's definitely a Note 1 AT&T and an I717. As for the ROM, I used the latest quincyatt from get.cm
Re: [Q] Bircked trying to install cm-10.1-M2
Hold down the volume button in between the up and down so you are pressing both and power. Once you feel the vibration release the power button. Another user in this thread had mentioned this but it seems it was over looked

I could have sworn I had tried that but... well, it worked. I feel stupid but I am grateful. I neglected the factory reset/wipe step after flashing the ROM. It's working now. Thank you very much.

its bit tricky and even i could not do for some times before. You need to press VolumeDown and Power buttons quickly together at exact time and keep pressing both together for 1/2 seconds and you will see a shot image going back to save. Dont press power for longer time else phone will switch off.
I'm facing the problem of rebooting of phone due to very long press(5-7 sec) of power button. The power button just randomly get pressed and then the mobile reboots. I remapped the power button with volume buttons but still the power button long press cannot be remapped.
Any fix and thoughts please!
