It's quite annoying that the phone is turn on when the power button is pressed because I keep accidentally press the button >_<
Is there a way to change it to something like "press and hold" to turn on the phone?
I don't know. But I know that trying to re-map the key is difficult, especially getting the button required to hold.
I have tried literally 100s of times but no matter what I do or how long I hold down both the volume down button and the power button I never get to the tri-coloured screen. Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to access it?
Are you holding down the volume down button and the power button at the same time? If so, only hold the volume down button and briefly touch the power button. What I mean by briefly is a quick press and continue holding down the volume button until you see the tri-colored screen. If that doesn't work, you may want to post your question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377. You will get some excellent help there. Good luck!
Just remove the stylus

I just discovered how to get the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!!" - screen.
Turn off the phone. Wait 10sec.
Press and hold task switch button + volume down and press power button shortly.
You can leave this mode by pressing power button for about 10sec.
what does this setting do?
on that screen the phone is ready to get new firmware.
if you are not doing any updates and got the screen accidentally you can safely switch off the phone.
Phone is super slow and the sound is messed up. I want to switch the phone back to original state with WM installed.
I cannot seem to get the phone back in tri color mode.

What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to force the phone in tri color boot mode?
Thanks,
make sure phone is off then only press volume - button and then press power button.
it sounds like your waiting to long to hold the vol down and power button. you need to do that before the splash screen pops up, if the splash screen shows up its already to late. pull the battery out & then place it back in..hold power for just a split second and then press vol down. im not sure why but this seems to boot a little quicker for me doing it this way then holding power and vol down at the same time from the start.
Still no luck.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold "Vol down" key
Press Power for 2 sec.
Wait for 10 + sec. nothing happens.
Press and hold "Vol down" key
Press Power for 4 sec.
Wait for 10 + sec. nothing happens.
Press and hold "Vol down" key
Press Power for 8 sec.
Wait for 10 + sec. nothing happens.
Phone powers up.

Guy....just HOLD VolDown and press SHORT power button.
Are you sure your volume down button works?
It doesn't matter if you short press or long press the power button it works either way the main thing is the phone has to be completely off before first pressing and holding the volume down button and while it is still down press the power button and keep the volume down pressed until bootloader screen appears.
You can also try, with the phone off or on, press the volume down button and then press something into the reset button under the battery door quickly and keep holding the volume down button.
If none of these work let me know exactly what happens after you try these. Where does it go, does it start Android?

It looks like the problem is the volume button.
I let the phone boot normally.
I noticed if I press the volume up button then the animation for vluome come up on the screen but if I press the volume down button animation does not appear.
Therefore, when I hold the volume down and press reset button, phone boots normally. I guess I am out of luck?
I am not sure how to bypass this problem but there have been others with your same problem search the other general forums for volume down button broken or something like that and I am sure there is some way to remap your buttons

I don't think that you can remap it so it works on that early time on bootup.

Try to hold down both UP + DOWN vol and then press POWER. Keep on holding it until you see the TRI color screen. This is a hard reset method, hope this works.
Just curious what ROM you currently running on the phone?
when in magldr can you scroll down? if so then the volume down works. magldr wont let you charge the phone in an off state so if you can scroll down. shut off phone or pull battery and wait like 15 seconds, than hold down the volume button than plug the phone in and you should be in tri-color screen if not than you need a new phone. hope this helps a little.
HELP
My phone's power button is already broken so I can't turn it on using the power button. I tried to by using the charger and hold volume DOWN and HOME button and it takes me to download mode.
But I don't know why I can't cancel it by pressing volume down nor continue by pressing volume up. All I can do is holding volume DOWN, and HOME button again but then it takes me to blue android screen says "no commmand", then recovery mode shows up. So now I'm stuck at the recovery mode.
Can you help me find the solution for this problem?
