I've tried and tried but I just keep getting to the regular screen. I've tried with SIM and without, various combinations of pressing them, attempting to connect to USB while I press vol down + camera and nothing works.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Try this
I recently noticed that combo wasn't working either, but this worked for me:
Slide the keyboard out and hold down the space bar when turning on the phone.
Hope that works for you.
It did work, thank you very much.

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).

No i have a nice clean Galaxy S!!!
Thank you.
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?

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.

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.
Hello,
my Galaxy Tab won't boot anymore, it's stuck at the "Galaxy Tab"/"Samsung" screen. I can't get to it with adb either. When I connect it to USB or to a power jack it shows a battery symbol, but nothing happens (no animation that the battery charges).
I had this earlier but after some button combinations like pressing the menu button and holding the power button it booted. Then after a day it freezed and since then I can't boot it anymore.
There are several instructions how to reset the device, like different combinations of holding buttons or even touch the screen while booting. Nothing works. What can I do?

Do to my flashing antics I have had this as well. I'm on ROTO JME v4 now.
Have you tryed connecting it to the PC and just hit the Volume button?
Sometimes I have to connect and then reconnect to the USB on the PC as well when it is bootlooping.
To get mine into DL mode now I don't need to hit power and Volume, just volume I saw the battery thing as well.

I'm not sure what you mean. If I connect the Tab to the PC it instantly shows the non animatied battery symbol. Whatever button I press, nothing happens.
I have searched and searched for a fix for this problem,
no keys are working (volume up, volume down, lock/power, options, home & back), after losing its IMEI number during a flight (no idea how) I took it to a repair shop to which they said they couldn't fix, but as I left the shop walking down the road I turned the phone on, only to see a 4G connection and software from a custom rom flash.
Feeling happy as they didn't charge me for the repair I try to use my phone as normal, send a text message and tried to return to the previous screen via the back button, not working.... I then went on to try every other button, still, not working..
I get home and try to boot in to recovery mode, it worked... The volume button worked?
I also booted in to download mode and put a different rom on, still not working whilst phone is in normal state.
Any one else experienced this or know of a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Rafiki.
Hi all,
I have accident on sea where one wave splashed a bag where my phone was. After small problems with "laggy" buttons everything went fine and my phone worked correctly except power button. It doesn't react. I couldn't even restart the phone. And when my battery was used I coudnt turn it on. I tried to press volume up + power button million times, or all 4 buttons, and somehow I manage to turn it on again while still I was on vacation. Few times I have entered Android recovery screen, and Power button worked perfectly there (I managed to press power button and select reboot device). And after the phone turn on power button would usually works few minutes and then it would died again.
I have installed software for simulation of power button and it worked ok. This morning somehow I decided to turn off my phone, and I couldn't even imagine what kind of problems I will have to turn it on again. Whole day I am trying to turn it on, but it doesn't react. When I pull in charger then it shows regularly battery status (70%). I am desperate :crying:
I am trying to google or find any solution how to bring it ON again without power button, but without success
Is there any way how could I turn Samsung galaxy S6 Edge Plus without power button?
And what you think, is this some kind of software problem, and maybe some factory reset or flashing might help? Or it is more likely hardware problem?
Many thanks in advance.
Can anyone help me?
I have just found this article which might help me:
How to turn ON Galaxy S6 without using the power button:
When the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge is turned off, press and hold the volume button for a few seconds.
While holding the volume button, connect the Galaxy to a computer using a USB cable.
Wait for your phone to boot to Download mode.
Then press down on the volume rocker to cancel the operation.
After the operation has canceled, the Galaxy will reboot and turn on.
You have successfully turned on the Galaxy S6 without using the power button.
source: http://recomhub.com/blog/how-to-turn-on-and-off-galaxy-s6-without-power-button/
But somehow this doesn't work for my phone? First I wasnt sure which volume button should be pressed, so I tried with both in all combinations and still cant get into Download mode.
But I am glad that samsung had created some workaround if power button is not working. THis used to work on older models I guess.
Is there anyone who might know the way how to turn on phone without power button?
