Fascinate stuck on "downloading...do not turn off target"

got water damage. i didn't respond properly. with the above message, i tried charging phone and took out battery while charging, then put battery back in. same message. help still possible pls? thx.

    Hey there singingfiend.  I am sorry to hear about your phone taking a swim. I know from experience that they don't fair well in water.
If you are unable to get past this screen after charging the phone and taking out the battery the only thing we have left to try is a master reset. Visit http://vz.to/tC9oiG for steps on how to do a master reset. You are going to want to try the alternate master reset.
If this does not work we will have to take a look at replacement options. Do you have insurance on the device? If so you can place a claim with Asurion at www.phoneclaim.com. Are you upgrade eligible? Dial #UPG to find out.  You can also purchase a phone through our Certified Pre Owned program.  These are phones that are in like new condition and are sold at less than full retail.  They also do not extend out your agreement so when your upgrade date comes you'll still be able to get the latest and greatest device.
Let us know if you have additional questions.

  • S3 randomly shows android guy and downloading do not turn off target.  Frozen now for 6 hours

    Out of nowhere my phone switched to Factory mode in red in the upper left corner with the product name, current binary, system status, and other programming things.  The little green android guy shows up and it reads downloading do not turn off target.  It has been frozen this way now for 6 hours.  I am due an upgrade in like 5 weeks.  I need my phone however today.  I don't know what this is or what it means and I don't want to do anything that would cause it to lose anything currently on the phone.  Any ideas what the heck this is?

    Are you connected to a PC?  Otherwise, this should not happen.

  • Help! My s3 is stuck on a "DOWNLOADING... Do Not Turn Off Target!!" page!

    I've had the worst time charging my phone since the new kitkat update. Today while my phone was plugged in to "charge" instead of the battery level increasing...it went down!
    I switched chargers and that didn't help, so I pulled the battery. Ten or fifteen minutes after putting the battery back in and turning on my phone, it acted like it was rebooting and then suddenly a green android guy popped up on my screen with the words: "DOWNLOADING... Do Not Turn Off Target!!" under it. In the upper left hand corner it says "factory mode". I didn't push any random combination of buttons...just the power button. I don't know what to do! Someone please help, I can't not have my phone.

    *update*
    My phone got past the android guy...but it won't charge still. It's stuck on the "charging" screen that shows up when the phone is off... but it won't boot up completely. It'll through the boot up process but once it gets to my main phone screen (where I can see my background and apps) it turns itself off again.

  • Stuck Downloading... Do not turn off target!!

    I restarted my stock, unrooted, GNEX because it wasn't getting a data connection. When it restarted, it has the Green Android robot and "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!". Some tiny text in the lower left with device specs.
    What's the deal? Haven't seen this before that I can recall. It's been stuck like that for 20 minutes.
    Help please.
    Thanks.

    I took a chance and just pressed the power button. The GNEX rebooted normally and seems to be functioning.  Not sure what happened. If anyone knows, I'd still like to hear about it in case it happens again.

  • Frozen and won't reboot "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!"

    So, I'm just checking email this morning, and it froze on a message.  I didn't download anything, just trying to read the stupid email and it froze.  It wouldn't respond to anything.  My buttons on the bottom would turn off as I touched them as if they might respond eventually, but they never did.  I waited, patiently. Nothing.  So I tried to shut the phone off, it wouldn't respond to that either.  Still stuck on the stupid email message.  So, I pulled the battery and put it back, tried to start it and it was stuck on the Samsung logo.  Wouldn't change, move along or anything.  Tried to pull the battery again, same thing.  So, I'm here on the internet and look up reset procedures and I try the one about the volume down button and the power button.  So, here I am at the android man shoveling spit and "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!  What the ham sam?  It's stuck again, but now on this screen.  Anyone have anything for me to try or should I just go return my phone?  I just activated this one maybe 3 weeks ago.  =(

    I actually did end up talking to a technician on the phone.  2 actually and they were very nice and knowledgeable but it ended up we couldn't get the phone going?  Then, at 11:30 pm, it turns on!!!! Scared the crap out of me and said it was in recovery mode, so I let it but then it stared forclosing apps, like daily briefing and the INVOPATH or something like that said it wanted to update but it never did.  Anyway, my new/refurbished one is on it's way.  I love Verizon!  Always helpful!  Maybe this phone was just a dud.  But, the one good thing about it actually turning back on even if it was still messed up, I got to factory reset it so my info wasn't on there anymore before I send it back int.  That makes me feel a little better.  Oh well, thanks for listening.

    I'm guessing you had the USB cable hooked up to a computer at the time?  If the phone is turned off, and it is connected to a live USB connection, holding the 'vol down' will put it into 'download' mode.  This is where emergency firmware fixes can be done.
    If that's what happened, just unplug the phone and take the battery out.  Put the battery back in and you are good to go.

  • HT204370 I paused the movie download but did not turn off my IPad.  When I returned to restart, it has said "waiting" for over an hour.

    I paused the movie download but did not turn off my IPad.  When I returned to complete the download, the "waiting" message has been on the screen for over an hour.  How can I complete the download?

    I recommend purchasing lion on a USB drive at Apple Store. This will avoid all of the downloading hassles.
    Also, be sure you clone your hard drive first. A lot of people want to go back to Snow Leopard and if you choose to do this cloning will make the process very easy.

  • HT1320 my ipod nano is stuck in the lock position, my  hold switch will not turn off even when I move it, I have restored it and it came back on in the hold position

    My ipod naaIno is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it.  I have tried restoring it and resetting it and it still comes back on in the hold/locked postion.  It will only play when placed on a docking station and then I cant scroll to pick songs, I can only go to next song using buttons on docking station.

    You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

  • Stuck in an update loop, 3 of 3, do not turn off your computer

    Hello,
    We have all the updates ,update automatically.  During this last one, today, our server has shut down and is in a constant loop.  We are getting that the drives are both fine, but there is one error on the start up that has me concerned:
    BMC System Error {SEL} Full
    The system goes through "Configuring updates" Stage 3 0f 3, do not shut down, then on to a blank screen, then restarts on its own, goes through the whole start up, everything looks good except for that BMC error, than the microsoft is loading...and
    right back into "Configuring updates", blank screen - its been on a continuous loop for about a half hour now.
    Suggestions?  The computer does not stay on long enough to do anything, and it never actually gets to a start menu..
    Thanks,

    I downloaded OS X Mavericks yesterday.The fan will not turn off. It runs whenever i turn on the computer. The computer does  not turn off when i close the lid, and the fan still runs.

  • My iphone 4 will not turn off... how can I fix this?

    I went to turn off my iphone 4 and it will not turn off... it is just stuck on the circle thing it does when shutting down????  What's wrong with it?

    Try holding down both the top and home buttons a the same time until it restarts- that probably would do it.

  • After recent updates, mute light will not turn off

    My computer downloaded a bunch of system updates last night, and now the mte light will not turn off.  It still functions properly (turning sound on/off), but the light stays on regardless.  I either have windows 8 or 8.1 not sure what's the difference.

    I suggest using Windows system restore to roll back the updates, one at a a time to find the  one that caused it.
