I was trying install ICS on my touchpad using the guide from wedbos nation and cyanogen mod - and mine is stuck in the process where it is running lines of code. it stopped and said I needed to download initial instal files - I cannot turn it off or mount it.
HELP please
I had mine stuck in download mode(the screen with the USB pitchfork looking symbol) got out of it by holding down power and home buttons. It takes a while so if you try this hold them down for a few minutes before giving up.
Yup, press the power button down and hold it while quickly pressing the home button 15 times. Then make sure you have the correctly named cminstall file on the root of your SD.

Before you try running acmeinstaller2 again, check that everything is still in your cminstall folder... it likes to delete them.

Does it add lines of code when you press the button? Such as something like "user initialized shutdown, blah, blah"? In that case just hold the home and power buttons till it shuts off, which it will.

thanks, took me a while to figure out the button combination.

Whenever I turn off my phone and try and hold down the volume key, it vibrates and then restarts. Pretty much bypassing my ability to get into HBoot. I even wait for almost a minuter before starting the phone. Only thing that seems to works is a battery pull but this is a pain. So what am I missing here?
Thanks
app "quickboot" should work. Also, power down, then while off, hold vol down press power. also, adb reboot bootloader. also, in terminal emulator, reboot bootloader. Most of those should work.
I tried the vol down but like I said it wasn't working. Quickbook works great so thanks.

Quick boot is the easiest, imo. The reason volume down and power wasn't working is because you have fastboot enabled. To disable it go to menu-settings-power and then uncheck fastboot.

look at my post, right above yours
almost same story..................BUT bit different.
Mytoch 3g 32B.
cant get into HBoot and dont have any ROM installed on the phone.stucked on red splash screen "Vodafone"
Before there was HBoot 1.33.2010. by mistake flashed SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005. after it cant get into hboot Back+Power; Volume Down+Power dont work. removed battery for long time. didnt help as well
Any ideas what can i do through adb???
thanx!
hey guys, try taking the battery out, put it back in, then hold the vol.down and press power and hold. It usually works for me.
AKA, you might of Brick your phone, did you finally fix it?
I want to turn off my power button when my screen is off, since my phone keeps restarting itself when I have it in my pocket.
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389946 and tried to follow it. I couldn't find a sec_key.kl file, but there's a bunch of files such as AVRCP.kl, generic.kl, gpio-keys.kl, qwerty.kl and sii9234_rcp.kl . Reading them, I figured that I should modify gpio-keys.kl, as it contains the line ≫key 116 POWER WAKE≪. I tried removing WAKE and rebooting my device, but nothing is changed: my power button still turns the screen on.
Any ideas on how to solve this? I'm running 4.1.2, VikingWay v. 2.3 rom, which is a modified touchwiz rom (which I'm sure haven't changed the keys in any way).
Even if you disable the wake function, longpressing it will turn the device off, there's not a way to change that. It works from recovery, even without a ROM, even when the phone freezes completely, so it's hardwired
so there is no chance? (mod or something else)
if it's really hard-wired than it's a feature
I don't think your phone is rebooting because your pressing the power button.
Its probably some software issue by rom kernel or smtn u installed

Exactly.
Are you on a custom kernel if so try flashing it again, or maybe you are oc/uv. If nothing works flash the rom again.

it's definitly not the custom rom!
if my phone is in a handybag i have no problem,
but when i change the back case und put it in a handybag i have reboots... (back case is metallic. so the phone is larger and there is less space left in the bag --> pushing the power button)
it could be the long pressing power button in the lockscreen, which opens a windows with shutdown, reboot,...

Check what eMMC chip you have, then Flash a kernel with the sudden death fix if you are not safe. I remember someone said their phone was rebooting occasionally before it died. You may not have the same problem but it is better to be safe.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
the emmc check app says "NO Sane chip", eMMC chip 10/2012
so what is this sudden death fix?
i think the problem is, that the metallic back case makes the phone larger and so the power button would be pressed when it's in my handybag..
Running CleanRom 2.5, my phone previously presented me with a Power menu when holding down the power button. This allowed me to either Shutdown or Reboot. Now, whenever I hold the power button down, it reboots automatically without offering me any choices. What causes this and how can I fix it?

you flashed something that broke the powermenu
only way to get it back is nandroid or reinstall cleanrom

yep, unfortunately, installing tweaks like AutoBrightness Patch or Tether Patch breaks the power menu.
EDIT 2: FIXED, thank you Checkm8!

Original Question:
My phone won't boot into recovery by using the manual method. I can boot into it no problem using GooManager to tell the phone to reboot into recovery, but no by powering off my phone, then holding down the power button and volume up. The phone'll vibrate and say "RECOVERY BOOTING" in blue in the upper left, but the screen will just go black and the phone will boot normally after 2 seconds.
This isn't a big problem by itself, but my phone also seems to have a problem with wiping system on its own or something, because multiple times of rebooting my phone just to reboot, the phone won't boot at all. It'll just stay at the "Galaxy S4" splash screen.
EDIT: Flashing to complete stock using Odin doesn't fix the recovery issue, tried it multiple times.
I had a similar issue but it was my fault. I figured out later hold (in this order) volume up, home, and power buttons. Once the phone vibrates, let go of the power button but continue holding the other two until you see "Recovery Booting". Let me know if that works for you.

You are correct sir.... Its not like the S3 that you had to hold all 3 buttons until you saw "Recovery Booting"..

Thanks, that got it to boot into recovery! But now it's just sitting at the "teamwin" screen and has been for the past 5 minutes... I'm going to assume that it's a one time thing and carry on with my life regardless. but now I know how to boot int orecovery the right way! I had gotten it to boot when i first got the phone a few times but I guess I had since started doing it incorrectly.
So not only is my power button not working, Im stuck in the bootloader screen and cant reboot since the power button isn't working. So how can I reboot my phone to at least get it back to being a phone? I took the back part of the phone off to see if I remove the power button and manually press it would that work, no luck there. Any suggestions?
*******Ok so I think I fixed the problem, turns out the power button just need a little bit of help. so if I mess with it to turn off and on it's works. Thanks for the responses, glad to know that when needed, help is there and will be given******
Also, sounds like I might need to be moving on from this phone to the M8. New phone??? well alright!!!!!!
You in HBOOT or FASTBOOT?

Are you familiar with fastboot? Connect to a PC and use fastboot reboot.

Ok, I am connected to my comp, but how would I fast reboot without the use of the power button?
OK UPDATE!!!
So I held the power button down for a min or so and it shut down and rebooted. But the power button still doesn't work.
Yea I know, it doesn't make sense if the power button doesn't work how did it reboot when I held it down for a min? Im trying to wrap my brain around that one too. lol
