Interesting, thank you for this.
If the phone has already been activated once, does one need to re-activate it if there is a factory reset/data wipe?

I read those instructions and the first thing that came to mind was cheat codes for old Sega games.

Pull battery...put the battery back in... hold the volume down, the camera button, and the power button all at the same time until u see black with blue writing. Use volume rocker to go down to wipe data then press the home tab. Confirm and ur phone will be wiped resulting in by passing the lock code. Another way....... figure out the lock code.

If you incorrectly enter the pattern 5 times or so, a button "Forgot Pattern?" should appear and you can unlock your phone with your Google account information.

So the other day my phone turned off and my phone started doing the 3 vibrates and blinking orange LED thing. It finally turned on earlier today, so I was wondering if there was a way to fix the volume up button so I don't have to worry about my phone getting turned off.
Is there a way to fix it? Or remap the button to a different button? Or even just disable the button in general? Or even just plain break the button. Anything as long as the phone doesn't think its being pressed lol
Edit: does anyone know if the app buttonmapper would fix this? I don't wanna try this and have it not work and get stuck with the flashing LED again
Thanks!

No problem, you could try using a jewlers screwdriver set and prying up the volume up key. And its a rookie mistake just don't do it again

Haha I did that, and it wasn't working before, but I just tried to boot into recovery via the option on CM7 menu, and it booted into CWM just fine. Then I hit reboot system now, and it did that just fine. Does it boot differently when I have it boot directly into recovery? And does it boot differently when I hit reboot system now through CWM?
I know it changes the bootmode (or at least it does on the Kindle Fire), but I didn't think it made that much of a difference. Oh well. I guess I won't question it too much as long as it works.
So, when I turn the phone on using Volume Up+Power, that boots me into hboot, right?

Vol up and power boots you into some other mode, I don't remember what it's called.
I believe it's the original recovery, cause when i bricked my phone several months ago (i got impatient and decided to just flash the original stock img file (i thought it was as easy as idevices) without having the engineering hboot. Anyways I think it took me to the stock recovery mode

Hey i have the same problem. Recently I bought this phone off of craigslist. The phone goes to the DFT screen and its on aMAGDLR v1.11. I tried to reset it but it doesnt go to the multi colored screen. I bought a new micro sd but that didnt work. It also cant connect to my computer. There isnt wrong with the charging port because the light goes on when its connected. PLEASE HELP?!
Did you properly press volume down + power button.
Yes I did that and it keeps going to the magdlr screen. when I press the vol up and down + power it shows up to boot menu for a second but I cant choose them.

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.

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.

have you tried force rebooting your phone? long press the power button for about 10-15 seconds. after it powers off and reboots, check to see if that spot is working again.

force reboot your phone again, if you press down volume down, and hold it down as its rebooting, itll boot into the bootloader. you can get into recovery or power off your phone there. there are also free apps that will power off/reboot/reboot recovery/reboot bootloader.
