Running nero 5. My daughter touched my phone and when I saw it it was shutting down and then didn't boot up but instead is on a screen with a yellow yield sign with android sweeping and it says "downloading... do not turn off target!!!"
She must have held the power button, but I have no idea what else she did. Can anyone help me? I have no idea what any of this means.
it looks like she was able to accomplish something that many here have a hard time
Your phone is currently in downloading mode. You can exit it by pressing and holding power until it shuts off. Then press power key once again to start it up. If that doesn't work then make sure USB is not connected and open the back cover take out the battery, wait 10 secs, put the battery back in, close the cover and press power key once to start it up. It should work.
Darn kids! Just follow what VICosPhi said and you should be just fine.

Well I didnt even do it on a rom flash. All I did was start installing MS net compact on my mda since I needed it to run a new program. As it was installing I hit the camera button while setting it on the desk by mistake and the screen slowly faded out to black. MDA wont restart now, wont even power on and I cant even get to the bootloader mode using the power button and camera button. GRRRRRRRRRRR Any ideas?
completely discharged battery?
no, fully charged. I said screw it and took a circuit board out of a busted screen mda I had laying around that I bought for 20 bucks off a guy. Of course the volume tab was broke off the slider in that one so now I dont have a way to use the slider. You just cant win I quess. It least it boots fine with the other board in it. Anyone know of a fix for a broke volume slider?
Take off the battery for half an hour or so, then try to start the WIZ again afterwards!
While removing the battery hold the power button and continiue to hold it for 30 seconds after you removed the battery! Leave the device without the battery for at least 30 minutes!
When placing the battery back in to the device hold the power button before doing so and keep holding the power button while putting in the battery. Wait a few seconds when done and try then to power on the device!
If nothing happends press and hold the CON button on the left together with the VOICE DIAL button on the right and make a reset while holding those buttons.
Let me know if it worked!
Do I have a brick too
I tryied to install a rom and after following all the instructions I made a hard reset then my phone stay's in the boot screen without continuing!!; my question is do I have a brick or there's a way out!!

Hi guys, I hope I can type this coherently.
I have a g3 wizard that I have flashed many times over the last year or so. Lately the power button has stopped working. I can get the phone to turn on by plugging it in, and then holding in the camera/voice buttons and THEN hitting the power button. It goes into the rainbow screen, and I just soft reset via the hole on the side. At that point it is on and running fine, but the power button does nothing.
The power button does nothing at all unless I plug the phone in, and then only if I go to bootloader. It seems to work just fine to do that-which is what is stumping me. I thought the button was just broken. The charge/battery lights do come on.
For now I have it set to never turn off, so I try to make sure it doesn't run too low. The battery life seems ok. Any tips? I want to be able to put the phone to sleep again...
thanks
Ok so i was wrong, it doesn't shut off, it goes past the green windows mobile screen, then past the t-mobile shadow screen, then just sits there with a black screen, the power lights are on, but just stays black forever
One other note is a hard reset isn't possible it seems because the phone cannot be turned off
If the battery is removed it shuts off of course, but when its put back in it just starts up and apparently thats not good enough to do the hard reset because it just boots up like normal to the black screen
Try pressing the hard reset keys as you place the battery in. You might need someone else to put the battery in while you press the keys. If that seems tedious or doesn't work, try starting with bootloader buttons (Camera and power button at the same time). Then connect it to your computer and run T-Mobile's update.
Hopefully, that should work.
helo, i've got a pretty annoying probem with my touch HD.
What it does is, constantly keeps giving me the poweroffwarning.exe even if i dont push the power button. Also if i try to put the phone into sleep mode by tapping the power button briefly, the screen goes black as usual, but after few secs it pops back and gives me the usual options for turning off sleep etc...
I have tried flashing another rom, tried to check the power button if its jammed or something but i dont really want to break it.
Oh and if i pop out the battery and back in, the phone starts automatically without pushing any button.
If you have any suggestion please...
i have my phone for almost 7 months already. my phone went black and it wouldnt charge nor turn on. it wouldnt also turn on the LED blue light. been doing all the tips i can do. dont know if my phone is dead nor anything. cant feel no vibrate nor anything at all. i think my phone is dead dead. can you guys please help me. i got important phone calls and everything that i need to get it done. let me know asap. thanks!!!
If it doesn't charge, won't turn on, and doesn't vibrate, sounds like it's dead! Get in touch with Samsung about a replacement
Try a wireless charger
if you can charge it, can you get into download or recovery mode using button combinations?
Have you really tried *all* the possible 'tricks'? I remember the exact situation you just described happened to me a couple months ago. I left my phone charging overnight and when I woke the phone did not respond at all to any button smashing or resetting etc.. so what I did was, hold down the power button, Bixby button (not sure if that was necessary at all), and the volume *down* button all the same time (like you would press ctrl + alt + delete on a keyboard). I held it for 10+ seconds and at last my phone entered the recovery mode set-up which prompted me to press the volume down button once again to restart the phone. If you haven't tried this, give it a go!
