When its restarting it gets to the unlock screen (drawing).
When i draw the right patron it starting to unlock for a second. (circles turn green)
Then i get a black screen for some seconds. After that i get the unlock screen again...
I tryed to connect the device with my pc, but no result.

The vol-dwn + power combination doesn't work - the real combination is vol-up+ home btn + power button. Should take you to the recovery menu(you move up and down with the vol key and select with the home button).

Ok. I use finixnover 3.1.1 rom and i experienced the problem after 2 days of use. When i press the power button the phone goes in standby mode - black screen and all buttons except power but are locked. When i press again the power button the phone wakes up but it lockes up the screen so i have to press unlock button. I dont want that the screen lockes up...
Before that i didnt have such problem. So, how to solve this? Normally u can use the pda after wake up from standby mode.
Understandable written?

Unlock the pda, use shut down (hold power button down for 4 seconds, the tap YES) then restart and PDA start unlocked.

Thank you about your advice about the bootloader page... but it doesn't solve the Splash Screen is White... Apparently it seems that my rom is also no longer can be flash!! (TT)
Ok now, I have my situation solved!
I had to turn it back to the original SPL and then putinthe official ROM to make it back up to the Original state... then re Hard-spl again....
Thanks!
Hi all, guys. So, the problem is the following...
I need to hard reset mi topaz, but the VolUP + VolDown + PowerON method doesn't work. The 1234 method can't be performed since I can't access start menu. I didn't try the VolUP + VolDown + RED button when Topaz is turned on.
I think it's strange that method 1 doesn't work. It boots normally, like ignoring I'm pressing the two Volume buttons...
Any suggestion, solution, guys?
Thanks in advance!
The RED button method worked, but It's strange why the VolUP + VolDown + PowerOn method is still not working...
the soft reset and power buttons do the same thing, it just reboots the phone, and while phone starts to boot, before splash screen appears, is when you have to hold the volume keys.
So it would be;
Power on, THEN hold both volume keys immediately before device starts to boot,
or
Hit soft reset, THEN hold both volume keys immediately before device starts to boot
Did you do exactly this?
To perform a Diamond 2 hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:

This doesn't work. I think you got it mixed up.
ArtieQ wrote the correct way.
No, it works, you just aren't fast enough.
It's just different ways to get to the same place.
The point is, volumes must be pressed as device begins to boot.
I just soft reset and press them and it always works for me.

That's right! Thank you Bruce Inman, IT WORKS!
But the ArtieQ method is the one I always used... and the one that usually worked... but anyway, NOW IT WORKS! Thanks Bruce again!
My Bell i9000 SGS has been locking up several times a day since I got it. Today I was installing Weather Bug and Weather Channel apps and it locked--now it won't boot at all.
I guess the phone is probably faulty and will need to be exchanged. Nonetheless, I'd feel better if I could factory reset the phone before returning it. I'm always happier when my private info isn't on the phone before returning it...
I tried all the key combos I could find on boot up, none of them do anything. If I keep holding any of them, it just powers the phone off and on repeatedly.

I can't boot up into Android at all.
try recovery mode
hold volume up key + big square home button key + power button key
when you see the screen light up with the B/W Samsung logo, let go of the power button key
then inside the recovery mode, you have the option to Wipe your data

The phone just keeps booting as per normal. It gets as far as the Galaxy S logo... then nothing.

hmmmm..... then you got one of those model where bell disabled the option to go into Recovery Mode / Download Mode
the only thing you can do now is to go back to Bell and have them exchange it or flash it for you.
similar problem, cant get into recovery mode, but if I remove the battery, then hold volume up + home + power then put the battery in, it will get to a screen with the little android dude and it says forced upload mode due to key press. how very odd.
Bought one of my teenagers a GT-I5800 for chrissie. It took him 4 days to set a pattern lock on the phone and then forget what the pattern was!
After trolling numerous forums, the best option seems to be a hard reset but this phone is resisting my attempts.
For the record....
tried the Home + Vol+ + Power buttons when powering on. This results in the message "FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING" but nothing else.
tried the Home + Vol- + Power buttons when powering on. This results in the message "Downloading... DO NOT TURN OF THE TARGET !!!" but again nothing else. Tried these combinations with sim card in and out and microSD in and out same results.
Does anyone know another way of resetting?
Firmware I5800XWJJ2//I5800XXJH1/I5800XWJJ2
(latest version of firmware according to KIES 1.5.3.10114_2)
To get to the screen you want -don't remember the right name for it- you have to press vol +, vol-, home and power. Navigate with the vol buttons once you see the screen and select with home button. Atleast i had to press the button twice, so as to confirm.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Nice one Matilainen. Worked exactly as you described it...phone is reset and boy is happy!
BTW, called samsung for their advice and they said I'd have to take it in to a service centre to have it reset. I think not!
Thanks again.

in case this happens again, there should be an option if you forgot your pattern.
You input a wrong one 5 times then the option shows, and to unlock you have to use your google account.
