Sounds like a weird bootloop problem but then you said sometimes it goes to the home screen and then it shuts itself down. Try switching your phone off and switch it back on WHILE pressing(and holding) the volume down button on your phone and let us know if you see "fastboot" written on the screen? You should do.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
thx for the responses,yes it says fastboot and just sits there
So it just says "fastboot" and not "unlocked....fastboot"?
Either way, when you get to where it says "fastboot", press Vol down until it says "Android Recovery" and then press Vol up.
If you haven't flashed CWM you should get the little android with the triangle. At this point, press both volume buttons at the same time.
You should get a menu, use the volume keys to navigate to "Wipe" and then there should be an option at the bottom/left of the screen for "okay" and select that.

If your phone says "unlocked" they'll charge your bill 175 because that's user damage

I would have replied if I saw this earlier, but yes, other posters were right.
The solution to bootloops in 99.9% of cases is wipe data / factory reset. That should have fixed things up for you. But if you get a shiny new phone, that ain't bad either i reckon.
Thx for all the help!!!!

I know they are a lot of Topics about this, I have tried everything (I think), here is my problem.
The Epic is stuck at the Battery Charging Icon. It will not Power On, It will not go to Download Mode, and it will not go to Recovery.
What are my other options, since the phone is not following commands, is not rooted and is not activated?
Thanks guys

Did you try pulling the battery and connecting to a computer to see if you can get it into download mode?
Yeah but the phone only reaction is to charge, I have press all the commands to get to download mode or recovery, maybe the battery is f*ck up?

If you have the battery out it should not react that way. With the battery out hold the 1 key on the keyboard and plug into a USB port and press the power button while still holding the 1 key.
It shows me the battery icon and then goes away, shows again then goes away...

Only power and the 1 key on the keyboard will get you into download mode. Sounds like you will have to take into the Sprint store to diagnose at this point. If you can't get into download mode, you are screwed. You can try leaving the battery out for a couple of hours.

Where did you get it? Sounds like you got a bad phone. Return it. It is still under Samsung warranty so you can send it to them.
Have you tried another battery and see if the phone boots?
That will be my next step. Tomorrow at work I will change battery with a friend to se what happens thanks

This is due to the thin wiring harness being damaged that connects the keyboard to the Motherboard.. It can be replaced at your local Sprint repair store.

This happen when I bricked my phone. Unplugged my phone and took the battery out for about a day and then afterward pressed the power button about 30 times and I got lucky and my phone went into download mode after I pressed 1 and the power button. The key is discharging your phone's memory and reflashing your phone with stock rom. I had to reflash my phone a lot of times before my flash stuck.

Ok. it turns on that is good. Now turn off the phone hold down the power button and the 1 key on the keyboard. This should get you to download mode. Pressing the power button is useful to get your phone to powerup and now that it is powered up you can now flash the stock rom on your phone thru odin. Reflashing stock rom is the key to fixing your phone.
But the power buttom is not working, I already give it a hard reset and the phone was not rooted, you think that is gonna fix the buttom? I thought it was an hardware issue.. what do you thing?

Guys...I have a quick question...well maybe 2...
(1) so my phone is having the same problem. Working one minute, then not the next and I can't get the phone to boot up at all. Is there any other way I could get it to boot...through USB to the PC, anything?
(2) So I got it into download mode, and it completed. Did that download everything from the phone to my pc? If so, where is that data and how will I get it back to my new phone?
Sorry for the stupid questions, but I haven't dove into things like this with the Samsung yet. Thanks!!!

What was the app, and where did you download it from?
And if you hooked your phone up to kies and it saw it....then the phone must be powered up. Remove the battery again, wait 10 minutes, then replace it.

Nope im not dead and im a she not a he.
Yes the phone has power but only shows a black screen.
Yes the battery has actually been out all night.
No Kies did not tell me anything i got a box up on my phone when it conected saying could not connect as application open.
The application was called Kids mode by zoodles.
They have sent me 2 ways to reset my phone one of which to hold down the volume button then press the power button which shows a menu choose clear storage using the volume button and the phone should be restored....it doesnt do any of that just turns on.
The other way is this
a) Install the Android SDK from a website they mentioned
b) Connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable
c) Type "adb uninstall com.zoodles.kidmode"
of which i am currently attempting to understand.
If you know any different then your help would be appreciated.
oh and the app itself i found on the android market on my phone
try getting into recovery by pressing vol up+home button+power and release when the S logo pops up
Thank you for that. It didnt work.
Have been defeated all this messing about so have taken in to have system rebooted.
I had the same almost and am still locked in the "Logo of Limbo" ( the big S) after 10 days and dealers trying this and that. Can't say it was an app that caused it, but it seems resetting SGS is a task and a half sometimes

Well, it's not pressing but holding:
Shut down the phone
Hold Vol-Up+Home and power
Release power when you see "Galaxy S, GT-i9000, Samsung" blinks
if this doesnt work, try Vol+Down instead of Up, and update the status here with what you see.
I just stumbled upon a 'safe mode' that our Atrix can be booted into, I believe its similar to windows safe mode, as in it only loads essential system files.
To do this, power off your Atrix, and press the power button to turn it on. Once the boot ANIMATION starts, immediately press and HOLD the vol up + vol down buttons until you get a long vibe, then release. you'll then see 'safe mode' at the lower left of the screen when the lockscreen comes up.
Im sure this could be of some use... for something. Just unsure exactly what this could be useful for at this point.
Is the data working? Can you make phone calls? I didn't try it yet.

I'm sure there are more than this, but I've heard safe mode mainly being used by people who get the force close of death loop (aka force close loop that never ends, even when restarting). This way in safe mode you can try to do something about the app causing the trouble.
like delete it?
Safe Mode FTW! Thank you! Thank you!
I was in a force-close loop after a launcher update and this was the solution.
XDA comes through again!!!
Thank you so much!

First time I found out about safe mode, it was when I was booting my Galaxy Note and at same time rubbing it against my trousers to wipe the screen clean. In GNote, during the boot animation the Menu key has to be tapped several times, no wonder the rubbing did the trick.
It is good to know now when it would be useful.

Turn off the device(Hold the power button for about 10sec) if it's on. Now hold all three hardware buttons(Power, volume UO & Down) togather till the google logo shows up, and this will tur your device on into fastboot mode. Now you should be able to to find your devece from your PC(if driver installed). If you ment "Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit" by "WUG" than you probably want to use Flash stock + Unroot (Can't boot up).

Thanks I tried this. When I try to turn it off it immediately reboots. Tried holding the 3 buttons when this occurs, but the result is still the dead droid with no command under it. The screen where you can select reboot recovery, bootloader never comes up. Confirmed fastboot isn't working.
Any other ideas?

Hello please i need your help, i was charging with the phone switched on, but i when i tried switching it back on, it vibrates thrice and starts blinking led light. After some hours, i explained it to a friend who was a phone engineer, he tried to switch it on and it came on to my surprise. I took it and used it for some time, tried playing music with it and discovered my volume up key wasnt working. I wanted to change my sim card and it started with the vibration stuff again. It looks like it's the volume key that's causing this, please i need help on this

Thats a weird problem man. Are you rooted? If yes, what rom are you on? What recovery, and also can you get into bootloader? Holding volume down and power button at the same time when the phones off gets you there.
I am not using any custom rom or anything am using version 2.3.5 When i press the volume down with power, the phone vibrates five times and shows a static green led light with a blank screen. I have checked the forum for people with similar problems but have found no solution.
