Hello, I have also had this issue before.

I tried every way of rebooting. Have you tried rebooting by holding the power, home and volume down button for a while?

If this doesn't work, it's likely your phone has a software issue. You will have to go to an android repair store or your service provider store and they should fix it for free.

Thank you for the reply.

The phone is working now. Since the battery is non-removable I waited until the battery drained it self then i plugged it in and switched it on. Its working now.

Hey guys

I am having the same problem

I tried Home, Lock, Volume Down and it asked regarding the OS.

I confirmed yes and it said OS is downloading, do not turn off target.

Its been stuck on that screen for the past 2 hours.

Any more ideas guys? I do not want to take for repairs as it will wipe all my data.

I have not backed up anything

To fix that press volume down and power button it should restart the phone and go out of it

My phone is giving the same trouble and I'm getting the same green screen saying downloading do not turn off target. Pressing the volume down and power button removed the green screen but the screen is black and the phone won't turn on. What do I do?
