I am in the process of calibrating my battery. It was full and finally died after a good while. I put it on the charger and waited a couple minutes and tried to boot it up because I needed to make some calls and it goes thru the boot screens and animation and will dim but then it goes black. I press the menu button and end button to turn on the screen but it doesn't work. It will boot into recovery and the buttons work there. I have no idea whats wrong with the phone. Can anybody help me with this problem? Thanks in advance.
Edit: When I plug it in via usb the screen turns on but there is no touch response when I try to slide the unlock tab or sound tab.
I have no idea what caused it or fixed it. Randomly happened and randomly fixed itself.. everything is working fine now.

Hello All
I did search the forum and still not answer for the stranger reboot loop.
I got a phone call, and answered it. The reception was crappy and hear no voice. I then looked at the phone to see if call had dropped and it was frozed on the incoming call screen. I then pulled the battery and pressed the power button to turn on the phone and It would not power on. After multiple battery pulls and many many power button presses, still nothing. It was like it was out of battery. It was stitting on the home charger before i left the house. Prior to this the phone worked fine. Over the past week or two I had to do a battery pull may be 3 times.
I got to my car and plugged it into the charger and the orange charge led came on, on the front of the device. I then pressed the power button and it vibrate once as normal and then went to the multi-colored nexus "X." he screen went black and then vibrated once again and and was back at the mulit-colored "X." Then the loop starts.
In between the restarts I try to get it to boot into the bootloader by using the "vol down and power" and the "trackball and power button" and the white screen for the boot loader flashed for a milisecond the goes to black. As long as I hold the "vol down" button the while bootloeader or recovery screen flashes every 4-5 sec for a milisecond. As soon as I let go of one of those button, it automatically goes to the full reboot loop.
THis all happens when it is plugged into a power source. As soon as i unplug it, it goes back to the power button not responding. Again it acts as if it has no battery power. But it is in the 90%.
So i am unable to do any other step as in reflashing, and or doing a recovery.
ANY IDEAS any one.
I was running Cyanogen RC3. the latest rom with amon RA 1 7 1, korean radio 5.0.8
It was running perfectly up till today. when it went into its loop.
ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME
THanks in advance

Plug it in to the USB, adb reboot recovery, reflash rom. Or even wipe and reflash if needed.
Sounds like it could be hardware the way you have to hold the keys down and you said it wasn't responding to the power button press.
ok thanks, ill give it a try.
here is my only issue. I am not using my original computer Mac. I just sent it out to apple for repair. So i am using my companies computer. I need to set up the AndroidSDK to be able to talk to the nexus. Since the phone will not turn on i can not load the drivers. and ive tried every way and it has not installed and i cant check because it wont stay on. it just goes to the loop. and it wont turn on if its not plugged to a power source.
Any ideas or suggestion.
SOrry I am an noob, so could you please be specific in your instructions.
I as of right now have insalled the Android SDK and i am unable to see the serial number (working on an old dell, running XP sp3) because it wont turn on.
It cant manually install the drivers because I cant turn the phone on to specify the drivers.
and
I using USBDeview, the phone also has to be on to erase all HTC previously installed drivers. i think. but there were none in the usb log...i think becuase they didnt install...agains because it would not power on...:-(
any ideas...please
DD
Also
Sorry excuse me if its a sort of a duhhh question...
even if i am able to load the device bridge, if the phone will not boot can i still flash another rom, or do a recovery. The phone is not getting past the Multi-colored "X" ???

It should still read the commands when it's trying to boot. You don't need to turn the phone on at all to be able to install the ADB drivers, they are independent of each other.
As strange as it started, is a strange as it went.
This morning open the phone to pull the sd and the sim to put it in a throw down phone. I replaced the battery and cover and just hit the power button. The phone does a full boot and it appears to be working properly. the sd card and sim are fine. I the odd thing is i did this multiple times yesterday and last night. I pulled both sim and sd, replaced the battery and tried to boot with the same issues as named above with nothing different.
I left the phone on charge last night and it was charging for close to 8 hours and it was still showing the orange charging light.
So after it booted this morning, and i checked everything. It showed the same amount of charge as yesterday, right before it froze, which was 75%. So that is another strange occurance.
I plan on reflashing the rom and seeing how things go.
I thank you for your assistance and time.
appericate you helping out a clueless noob.

My Fiancee's G1 wont turn on at all,No T-mobile slpash screen or nothing.LED lights turn on and Call,Home,Back and Power buttons light up except for the screen itself her phone wasnt rooted,I have never experienced this before.
Can someone please help?
the phone is not turning on via the power(end) button???
try pressing the camera button and keeping it pressed, also press the power button to enter into hboot mode...if u succeed in entering that mode, the phone is fine, or else it could be bricked.
Try Home+Power see if you can get into recovery mode.
If you can wipe cache data.
Hi everyone, hope it's okay to post this here since this Question relates to mine.
I'm having a trouble like this except instead it's like my backlight went out, it was working fine until my alarm on my phone went off and when I went to turn it off I had to take the battery out of my phone because the screen wasn't pulling up. It flashed basically, so when I put the battery in the screen came on but no backlight. Could it be due to Cyanogen? I'm restoring my backup to see what else could I try?
could u be a bit more specific?phone is working??? calls etc???or are u stuck somewhere????
As I said, the screen came on but no backlight. The phone works fine except for the backlight I'm trying to figure out if it's a hardware issue or a software issue. I don't know how much more specific I can get really except that the only way to see the screen is to hold it at a certain angle so the light hits it just right.
Hi all im really looking for some help before i give in and send my for repair. I have only had it a week and earlier today it suddenly stopped working but just before it did it said the xperia home has stopped and then the phone went off and wouldnt turn back on. When i finally managed to get it to come back on i get just the sony logo then a blank black screen with a backlight on and nothing else this then loops back into the sony logo then the blank screen. Iv tried charging the phone. Connecting to a computer does not work as it cant recognise the device. (otherwise i could have reset the phone). Iv tried volume up and power get the three vibrations then it ends up doing the same thing when i switch back on. Then volume down and power while plugged into computer but the green light comes on for a brief second then goes again. Im really baffled as to whats happened and any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance, sorry for the long post
Hi..
I have a problem with my note 5..
Accidentally I've dropped it in the water!
At first it restarted itself and worked fine for a min, but then the screen turned off suddenly..
Couldn't remove the battery normally as you know it's hard to remove in Note 5..
Tried to dry it with the hear drier, the screen worked afterwards, but the power button feels like damaged already..
Didn't mind it at first because I have the download mode method to restart the phone.
After many hours I discovered that the screen isn't working fine! it looks like working for about 9 hours then go to black suddenly and stays at this for few hours, then it works again. (when it goes black feels like touch still working but no display)
Because I've already rooted it, I know I'm gonna pay for repairing it no matter.
I went to repair it but couldn't pay that much!
I decided to repair it myself, I've done before something alike.
After I've disassembled it and reached screen wires, I've just unplug it and cleaned it and re-plug it..
When I plug the charger finally I see the charging screen every time I plug and unplug it, that means it's finally works! (Before, even charging screen doesn't appear when the screen goes black!)
but the sad thing, I've discovered that it won't turn on neither goes to download mode!
I thought at the begging that volume up and down buttons damaged too (I didn't touch anything else except the screen), but I knew that they're fine because when I press them the charging screen lights up, just like when I press Home button but it won't goes to download mode!
but the power button still doesn't work..
now I'm stick at the charging screen, what should I do?!
I wrote all this in detail so I hope it helps.
Thanks..
Edit:
When charging, it charges no problem, but can't turn it ON and couldn't reach download mode..
Thanks, solved it already using ADB
But still the colors a little annoying and not clear..
but it's OK as long as the device works!
I thought it's dead..!
What did you do with ADB to fix the problem?
I'm having the same issue with my Note 5 showing the normal charging screen, but will not actually power on with any button combination.
Thanks.
Phone got frozen while in Messenger, suddenly turned off and now it's stuck on boot loop. Holding volume down and power button does nothing, keeps it on boot loop. When I put it on charging, it heats up, but the charging logo does not show.
Anyone got any clue what might be the problem or how to solve it?
did you receive any pictures via messenger ? that used to be a thing that messed up phones because of one colour outside most phones RGB range.
a bootloop is a cycle, catch it at the right time and you can boot into recovery to clear cache and dalvik.
remember recovery and download mode need the cable plugged into a USB device to nowadays.
the instant the screen goes off hold volume up and power and then plug the cable into the phone (the other end already being in the PC).
if you did receive a file before your problem that'll still be there and the problem might persist. you might need to boot up into safe mode and delete something.
The phone got frozen at the main screen of Messenger, haven't received any messages or pics.
The thing I haven't mentioned but dk if it means anything, sometimes it gets to the Samsung logo, but then it goes off and turns back on.
Tried to hold volume up and power button couple of times, sometimes it would do a strong vibration and then do nothing, but I'll keep on trying.
Thanks for ur help

don't forget the USB cable, you can't manually boot recovery without it.

if you don't mind losing messages next time you could try clearing data on the messages app. you'd need to be pretty quick by the sound of it.
