[Q] How to screenshot

Dears,
how to screenshot with 4.0.3 LP6?
I've been trying any shortcut, nothing to do...
Tks!
Homebutton + Powerbutton
or new in ICS
Volume Down + Powerbutton
Nothing...
Stock or Custom?
Just checked my device - also aint workin but i bet its bcz of the custom Rom & Kernel
*edit* works fine
Stock, with CF-Root...
*edit*
Both work fine xD
just had to press it a little longer (2sec), try it - you need to be quite simultaneously
...btw how do i verified by mods??
You're so right dear friend, I need to press both at the same, while I used to press Volume- first with previous releases...
Thank you so much!

Pretty weird...No download mode

Hi guys
I'm facing a problem i'm not very comfortable with...
Just bought for my wife a Galaxy S2 running Gingerbread 2.3.5.
I planned to root it and migrate him later on to latest Sammy on JB...
As per many tutos, to root the tel, you inject ( using Odin) the right CF_root from chainfire once the telephone is in the so called download mode
and here comes the problem...Vol- & Home & Pwr do nothing...It just boots the tel...No DL mode at all !!!
Are there GS2 around with no DL mode ? or is there a way to force this DL mode ?
( I've tried a suggestion which did not work..i.e remove batt , wait 30s, press vol-,pwr, home and reiensert batt without releasing the keys)
Any suggestion more than welcome

Tried a USB jig? They are intended to force DL mode. Never used one myself though. What you've already done would have been my first port of call. Also, have you tried recovery mode? (Vol up, Home, power). That way you can tell if its the vol. down button thats not recognising the keypress. On my tablet, that's the case, it takes a bit of poking/fiddling to get into recovery mode as my vol up button is sketchy.

You can try something.....turn off phone,and pull out-reinstert battery.Don't turn on yet!Now start pressing and holding the VOL DOWN button only.With phone turned off,and pressing the VOL DOWN key,put in charger.Keep holding the button,until you see Download mode.If that doesn't work,maybe VOL button is faulty.Also,try a Jig.It has to work
Yeah...the USB Jig was THE solution...and without yr suggestion I would'nt have had the idea to use it..and this for a good reason...My own GS2 does not react to USB jig ( the only solution to enter DL mode is the key combination) where my wife's GS2 enters DL mode ONLY with this Jig...
So one more time, thks to you all...
All the best

Ah this is ennoying...because it means that, now i'm on JB 4.1.2 this jig may not work properly...
Why do I bother ?
Simply because I have discoverd that this new GS2 has probably an H/W problem i.e The Vol Down key seems to be dead and that leads to another question Are the Vol keys simple H/W stuff, establishing contact or not or is it under software control ?
Browsing PhilZ recovery, I've seen a brief on screen message "Vol Down enabled"followed immediately by "Vol Down disabled" which I've not been able to reproduce..
So i'm in the blue....H/W or S/W problem
BTW, there may be a solution I had not thought to...
the power button , when hit, takes me to a 4 way reboot in which there is among the options, reboot in download
this may be the solution i'm after...and which I'll test as soon as my wife lets me approach her phone...lol
thks fr yr concern
I would be very careful when mucking around without the proper hardware functions. I would advise getting it fixed before continuing. If something goes wrong and you need to use the hardware combo to get into download mode to flash stock, you're stuffed. End of story. Messing with phones with no escape plan is a bad idea.

Mobile Odin will get you outta that button mess. You can always flash philz or siyah v6 with it.
You should get them fixed.

[Q] Phone reset

Hi guys,
I forgot the pin-code to my Galaxy S2, not to the sim, to the phone.
I can't go into recovery mode or download mode, due to a broken home-button.
Is there any way I can like hack the pin, or reset the phone without having to use my home button?
Maybe by using my pc or something?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Man I thought it was impossible to get into download mode but you got me there!
Unfortunately I do not see the "Clear Storage" option.
The volume down button gets me into a reboot.
Volume up gets me to downloading.
Is there any way I can get into recovery? Or download something to the phone that resets it?
And eh, multitasking, that is kind of hard with no home button.
The back button gets some more use since the home button has died haha

If you want to get yourself into recovery mode try something simpler
A cwm manager app
It has the option boot into recovery

Problem is, I cannot acces my phone so I can't install apps
I'm thinking about flashing another rom, only I can't wipe cache and factory reset before doing that.
What are the risks of that? And is there a big chance of this going wrong?

Mate, if you can enter download mode then use odin to flash
I am not sure you can enter recovery mode without home button though you can with a jig
But haven't tried it
Search xda it if you have a jig

Thanks, flashing right now.
Had flashed a few hours ago, but still got asked for the pin.
Though then I had to register the phone (name, language, that stuff) and after that I was in the phone, and did not have to enter the pin.
Doing that again right now, hoping to get to settings and then get to factory reset
Thanks for your help so far.
Then another question popped up:
To get another kernel I need recovery mode right?
And to get rooted I need a rooted kernel?
So can I root my device without home button and without recovery menu?

samsung i9100 is lit only by inserting battery

hi, I have a i9100G s2, which is operating normally, but does not turn off once more by power button,
but removing and reinserting the battery alone and then you start running properly (stock firmware) I tried to reset but nothing.
What can be?
I try to install new firmware with Odin?
To go into recovery mode or download must first hold down the appropriate keys and then insert the battery, otherwise it goes through
thank you

Hi, I have a G i9100, which works regularly, but if off will not light with power button, but by removing and reinserting the battery starts alone and then work properly (stock firmware)

To go into recovery or download mode I have to first hold down the volume keys and then insert the battery, otherwise it goes
Thank you
I forgot how stock sgs rom look xd Do you got there buttons settings? If yes tick it again maybe then it will start triggering if no backup your staff and do factory reset and if it doesnt help just flash stock rom again. Maybe there are better ways but these should work too

And work on your eng man it is important skill nowadays
