My power button won't work on X8... Please help...
Take it to a service point/service center after you reflashed it.
flash it with seus, it doesnt need the power button, just the back. ( i hope you know how to flash your phone with seus, if you dont, install a seus, and follow the instructions, everything is written there).
if you cant flash it because flash mode doesnt work, that is sucks, you need to bring your phone to service, but if you have a custom rom on your phone , start to pray, that they repair it to you for free.

I was installing a new rom and my laptop shut down at 98% done. Now my 8125 will only come on in boot loader. PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP
Try to reflash your current ROM, start the flashing thru the Bootloader Screen..you're still lucky you still got the bootloader UP.Hehehe
Goodluck
I'm trying that. it started to work once but then my fing laptop shut down again at 98% again. I think there is something with that rom. Now I'm trying to flash with original rom but it is telling me that it is not connected now.
Ok, try to re-download the ROM installer again..if still fails, try to load the ROM thru MiniSD, that would be the last option you got if all still fails.
ya u can try to download also a dif rom installer or try it on a dif computer

I don't think you're in the bootloader mode when you try. The screen should be three colored and when connected to USB it should say USB at the bottom of the screen.
As mentioned before. You get to bootloader mode by pressing the camera button when turning device on.
OK, I think there's been a miscommunication.
1.) Download the RUU
2.) Get into bootloader mode (You get to bootloader mode by pressing the camera button when turning device on.)
3.) Connect your phone to your Laptop or PC
4.) Execute the EXE ON YOUR LAPTOP OR PC and follow instructions.
That's what we're trying to say. Hope it helps!

Remove your battery. Reinsert you battery. Holding camera button press the On button. That should put you in bootloader mode. Everytime I've been this bad (and it happens every so often with the weird ROM's I screw with) I have to use the 1.05, nothing else works.
Good luck!

***HEY GUYS HELP***
I have Galaxy 3 gt-i5801
I heard a lot about froyo so i tried to upgrade but odin downloader crashed in middle and now my phone is not starting up .
Power button and other combo button are also not working help me ...
Phone not starting or booting please help
Did you also select the bootloader? If yes, then there is a possibility of bricking?
Try the following:
1. Remove battery
2. press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds
3. Put in the battery
4. Press volume down + home + power key
This should take you to download mode. If it does, select all files one by one except bootloader. Also do not remove extension .md5. Odin will automatically check it.
Uncheck protect ops and upgrade.
If this fails, I dont have an idea. if someone else can help you it will be great else you will need to visit samsung service center. Act like you dont know anything
Its not working
any other solution please.
Looks like bootloader is screwed up. Only way to fix it is, send device to samsung service center. Tell them some reasonable cause to get it under warranty.

I think you can tell them that you were setting up corporate email account and suddenly phone hung up... since it was not responding, you forced restart it and its not coming up...

hi, I have just registered and looking for some help if at all possible,
I have a galaxy i9505 S4 and recently the Home button seems to come and go, and the power button the same, and also the screen keeps lighting up every minute for about 10 secs, if i remove the battery I can restart the phone, and also the home button works to start the phone in factory reset mode, so i feel it might be a software problem rather than hardware.
is there any way to get the phone to reinstall the firmware, as factory reset didnt help
the phone is on orange (EE) UK
thanks for any advice or help given.

hi, thanks for the reply,
the home button just dont work, single click, and holding it in for the task manager dont do nothing either, but if i turn off the phone and hold the home, vol up, and power button, it boots into reset menu fine.
on and off the power button dont work, and i have to remove the battery to restart it.
the screen just lights up every minute for about 10 secs as if it has a notification, but there is nothing there, it drains the battery to empty in about 5 hours.
cheers.

If u want to reflash firmware,
First u have to install Samsung kies app on yr PC here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
Then install Odin3 on yr PC here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728605
Download yr stock 4.2.2 firmware from XDA/Sammobile. (make sure it is in .tar.MD5 format)
After finish downloading yr firmware version, open odin.
In Odin, Make sure that ONLY AutoReboot & F.Reset Time is ticked in Odin options.
Load extracted file (.tar.MD5) as PDA in Odin.
Turn off your phone, press & hold POWER+VOLUME+DOWN buttons until phone boot into Download Mode.
Connect phone to the computer and wait for the drivers to be installed. You will see blue or yellow indicator in left top corner of Odin, with phone connected to port: COM:x
Click START and wait until you see GREEN indicator [PASS], flashing is finished.
Then, it will reboot itself. U can unplug yr USB cable.
That's it.

hi, I have just done upgrade and initialisation from Kies, and it redownloaded and reinstalled the latest software, took ages, and the button is still not working, so i guess it will have to go to the shop.
cheers for all your help, the button only works before the OS has started, as i can get into recovery menu.
thanks again.
mechanical or hardware problem
That seems pretty much a mechanical problem (button broken) or hardware issue (shortcut somewhere? could explain the screen problem...)

the buttoon does work, but only to get the phone into recovery mode at startup, so physically the button works, just not when the phone is powered into the android os.
Im a bit out of ideas.

It's a faulty button mate.
You don't need to use the home button to boot to recovery or download mode on the S4.
You can simply press volume up+power (recovery) or volume down+power (downloadmode) no need for home button at all.
This is why you think it works.

It's very true mate.
YOU DO NOT NEED HOME BUTTON TO BOOT TO RECOVERY, SIMPLE.
Your issue sounds different to the OPs.
If you refer back to his first post, he said his power button doesn't do ANYTHING.
"the home button just dont work, single click, and holding it in for the task manager dont do nothing either, but if i turn off the phone and hold the home, vol up, and power button, it boots into reset menu fine"
Yours works.
I have a question regarding the new 28 version. I flashed it, following exactly the instructions. Flashed the new modem >I9505XXUFNC9_GSM_LTE_Modems.tar< . After flashing the rom, everything works perfectly well, but in the about device menu the baseband version is I9505XXUFNBH. I really dont think thats a big issue, because everything works just fine, I am just wondering should it be that way or should it show I9505XXUFNC9 instead. Or maybe i still have the old modem version and flashed sometilhing wrong. Can you guys check in your phones and me a reply?

But as written there i am not able to select any option from the boot options available i can scroll down using back button but selecting a option never does occur I tried all the possible combination. Apart from that to get device working, I installed ODIN and did whatever was written but ODIN is not displaying my device. Anyone please help me it's urgent for me because that would save my life and I need to get a solution soon maybe as soon as possible. Do help me friends....:highfive:
