Hey guys..
I've done a lot of rooting and flashing and all that on many phones... Just kind of curious because sometimes I end up in a boot loop in the past.. What would I do if that happened on my nexus 4 or 7??
There is obviously no battery pull.......
This is the only thing holding me back at the moment Lol...

Holding down the power button and volume up would shut down the device

I thought all you had to do was hold down the power button for 10 seconds or so and it would shut down. Don't think volume up is necessary.

Correct. A lot of the time I just do volume up as well so I can boot straight into recovery instead of just powering off.

Power + vol down will get you into bootloader so you can use fastboot.

We are confused as to why your samsung image comes up three times lol..it should be once....ie hold buttons..image comes up..release.

If you keep holding the buttons, "SAMSUNG" will keep flashing on the screen. You can let it flash as many times as you want... but there's no reason to. As soon it says SAMSUNG, you can let go.
Press and hold both volume buttons and power button at the same time until Samsung logo comes up. Once u see that, let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume buttons and the stock blue recovery mode comes up.

Hold all buttons and while hopping on one foot scream at the top of your lungs "YALLA WANNA ADROOOD WALLA HEEEE!" 2.5 times. Then while simultaneously releasing the buttons use all your inner strength to fart.
That will work.

Also, you must press both of them at the same time. (not like Windows where you can press one first and one later)

Not working for me? I tried all combos of buttons, but nothing?
I went to install drivers for the nexus 7 and when I ran the full driver test from WUGfresh's toolkit it put me in fast boot. I need to leave my house and finish the process later. How do I get out of fastboot??? I just want to boot into the OS and leave! Thanks
Using the volume keys go to reboot and press the power button to select.

To cycle through the options just use the volume keys. When it shows reboot press the power button

Look at the dropbox image pls. I hit power button and it did nothing. Volume rockers do nothing. I am in fastboot
I did look at it. Your bootloader must be frozen.
Hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds.

Are you doing it simultaneously? Give it like a second or two before releasing

press the power button first and the the volume down button...and then wait for your INSTANT WIN!!
need to press them the same time. its a little tricky at the start but you'll get used to it.

no point in installing useless apps that consume memory when its in the OS natively. its not that difficult to press two buttons at the same time and getting it right. once you do it once or twice, you'd get the hang of it and all is good.
either that or flash a custom rom and u can add the screenshot button on your long press power button menu.

It works for everyone. All you have to do is push them at the same time. Power + volume down. Hold for like three seconds. If it doesn't work hold for five seconds.

thanks guys, it is indeed tricky. especially doing it with my diztronic case.

It's very tricky. I said the same thing when I was doing it on my galaxy Nexus but got the hang of it.
Place your hand on the volume down and power button before pressing them and then hold them both at the same time until your phone makes a screen shot animation.
I will give Samsung this though the slide to screen shot is very intuitive on the touch wiz platform.

Oh so that's why. Since the new diztronics cover the buttons, it's probably not being pressed correctly.

Tell that to the people who had difficulties
It is tricky at the beginning but like I said over again and again, once you know how to do it. It's not tricky and is very easy to do. I understand depending what case they have on it may be trickier because the case covers the buttons that all of us overlooked

Try first powering off your phone. I had a little issue and i could not get the shutting down menu after several attempts, the phone restarted it self and after it was up, I was able to take screenshots without any difficulties.

Hi, guys my phone won't turn on, the light doesn't turn on when trying to charge. I did not try to mod or root the phone it was running stock 4.2.2.
hold the volume up button and the power button simultaneously. See if it at least boots into fastboot.
