I've tried every combination of holding the power button and home button possible and....nothing. Is my Rezound just not working right? I've hunted through all the settings and haven't found anything. I'm stock and not rooted.

tried rebooting? holding pwr and pressing home should work. factory reset may help if nothing else does. I never lost SS capability until I started deleting stuff in titanium, but you are stock so that isn't an issue.
***press and hold the power button down, and within 2 seconds while holding the power button down, press the home button.***
It is a pain it took me forever when I was stock it has to be perfect timing. Just keep trying you will Get it.

You are right... just tried it. Worked. Been using screenshot rooted since I came over from the Dinc.
Any guesses on the timing? 2 sec? Either button a millisecond before the other? Do you hear the shutter sound then let go? I mainly get recent apps pop up then the power off one. I know this is a little nitpicky but isn't that why we're here? To obsess over inanimate objects without being judged by others? thanks guys, I won't give up!
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Make sure you push power first before you push the home button. It's literally like a millisecond before, but it is power first. Try that and see if it works. Also, did you freeze anything? I know you say you're not rooted, but were you temp rooted and froze something?
It worked! I can't believe it! That was the trick..power button right before the home button. Thank you so much! And no, no temp root or anything (a moot point now). I'm waiting for the ever elusive ics ota before I root (no, I'm not trying to start a discussion about that!) thank you again.

Lol, glad it worked I was one of the lucky ones who found that accidentally so I knew what to do from that point forward. And I was just asking about being rooted and such in case you froze the sribble app that makes that work. But yeah, it's your phone, mate, you root it when you want to
yep, hitting power right before the home button works everytime! thanks! also not rooted here..and new to the rezound. coming from an X the whole unlock/root process is actually intimidating me right now. ive been romming for years now and i'm scared with the rezound. ha.

anybody else excited for a camera-wake mod? hopefully we get root soon. and hopefully a fine xda dev will put something together for us.

well on the original evo i believe they had the ability to use the volume keys to wake and still retain the ability to change the volume as well so hopefully its possible. also, i was just thinking, the camera button has multiple stages. there is a slight press and a full press that could be tinkered with.

Is there some kind of trick to taking a screenshot or setting I have to enable/disable to get it to work?
I've updated my EVO 3D to the latest version and can't get it to take a screen shot. Not rooted.
I've tried over and over and it won't work. I've tried every combination of pushing the power button and hitting the home button (holding the power button down, tapping it quickly, hitting them at the same time, etc..).
Also, I've read that there's a confirmation displayed once a screenshot has been taken, is that correct?

Strange, I updated my phone when 2.3.4 was released. But maybe it just gave me the first update since my phone is new.
But now when I search for an update it says there isn't one available. I guess i'll have to wait for the official release push.
Yeah doesn't even the stupid iPhone use Pwr+Home for SSing?

sort of semi hold down the power button, dont push the power button all the way then press home. thats how i get it to work for me.
So I searched the forum and haven't, yet, run across any topics revealing my question, so here it is. With all this modding going on, is there any way or possibility to be able to make the thunderbolt have a native screenshot with hardware keys? Such as, pressing "search" and "power" at the same time and holding to take a screenshot?

Most newer ROMs have it. Press and hold Power, then press Home.
Can it be incorporated to a stock rooted Rom?

One of about three ways I know how to, .
I hold Power button + Volume Down + Home button. I do this so I can take a screenshot while I make a screenshot.
Jokes aside, you have 3 different methods. Power Button + Home button works on most Sense ROMs. Power Button + Volume Down should work for ALL ICS ROMs. There's an another method, but it works on very few ROMs. You can hold power button until a dialog comes up, and there will be an option for you to take a screenshot. However, not all ROMs have this feature.
Boom. Three ways you can take a screenshot on this device.
I just flashed C-Rom 6.6 and it worked well. I went to flash Ktoonez after, it said there was an error so I rebooted. Now it's just a black screen with a short sequence of beeps. I'm running an MDK phone using TWRP. If anyone can please help, I thank you in advance.

I've ran the latest C ROM with KT kernel with no problems. Have you tried pulling the battery and waiting a minute or two then putting it back in and try to get back into TWRP?? You should be able to. What you did should not brick the phone... It just probably isn't going to boot normally with errors after a kernel flash.
I'd try that and maybe update your TWRP if needed. Then re download the kernel and make sure it's the AOSP-Kit Kat version.
Reflash ROM+ new kernel and you should be good.

I did something like this and totally borked my S4. I accidentally flashed a note2 kernel and when it said that there was an error, I disregarded it and rebooted. Big mistake! I needed to get a replacement. Just letting ya know that you're probably out of luck. Because it was so borked and odin couldnt fix it, i was worried that I'd be charged for rooting it. (I'm a corporate VZW rep) but i sent it back anyways and crossed my fingers. Took one day to get replacement and all was well. Luckily my replacement was an MDK, so i was able to immediately root the replacement =)
Good luck man.

I just had the same thing happen to me a week ago or so when I was flashing a kernel that was supposedly for my phone, however it wasn't.
It took me quite a few battery pulls and continuous attempts at getting into recovery.
When you pull the battery and wait a few then try to get into recovery are you still seeing the little blue words stating that it's booting into recovery? And did you get the unauthorized software detected screen? Or yours is just looping and vibrating and that's it?!
I'm not saying you guys are all wrong and I know anything is possible but after a battery pull and waiting a minute you should be able to at least get into download mode even if flashing that kernel somehow borked your recovery ... I would think.

Flashing the wrong kernel not meant for your phone model will cause this to happen. If you can't get into Download mode you are probably screwed.
Just make sure you are attempting Download Mode properly:

The "Custom" warning is irrelevant. If it boots, you're done.
As usual, if you care about the "Custom" warning, revert to factory stock.
(You can remove that warning using Triangle Away "Periodic system modified reset" or the Wanam security hacks.)

With the phone off hit Volume Down + Power once the download mode screen pops up you'd be hitting Volume Up to continue. Nothing to be scared of. At that point youd need to use Odin. Have you used Odin before?
