Hi There,
Just make sure you are holding Vol down and Home buttons first then press the power button last (while still holding the other two of course)
If you have a TPU type case can also be easier if you remove it.

Hahaha - ooops, I missed the part where he said the phone is turning off!
Maybe it still helps though!

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!

Thanks for the info.
After quite a bit of research and key pressing along with multiple boots, I finally found the hard reset key sequence for the Galaxy Mega. SGH-I527
Press Pwr + +Vol + Home key.
When the Samsung Galaxy Mega screen pops up you will also see in the top left corner "Recovery Booting..." in blue. You can now release the keys and let the phone boot into recovery mode.
Happy Hacking

on my SGH-I527 Galaxy Mega all three keys are required to boot into recovery mode.
I tried the two key method and the phone just booted up normally..
and with my infuse it takes PWR + +vol + -vol so three keys required on that phone as well.
go figure i always get the odd balls
