[Q] CM7 loop boot animation no power button

Here's my dilemma. I flashed CM7 RC4 to my n1 last night, now it is stuck in a loop of the boot animation and will not proceed any further. I'd boot into the bootloader, but my power button's been dead for a month, ADB won't recognize my phone to reboot-bootloader. Am I boned?

Pull the battery, connect your phone to a charger then hold the trackball while re-inserting the battery. Make take a few attempts, but it should eventually boot into fastboot. You could also hold volume down instead of the trackball if you just want hboot...

Now i'm getting the battery indicator flashing green/orange. I can mess with it until I eventually get it charging solid. Is there any quick workaround for this?

Now I'm in fastboot. Is there a way to get into recovery without power button?

Is your bootloader unlocked?

yes. indeed it is. If it helps, I have the latest CWM installed.

Place a copy of your recovery image in your sdk tools folder, connect via fastboot and type:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
(use the real name of your recovery image)

What steps should I take to force recovery mode if I have an EVO? I've tried holding volume up while power but it vibrates three times and does nothing. I'm stuck in the boot loader screen.
*-**EDIT
I was able to fix it doing a hard reset.
Turn the power off. If your HTC EVO 4G is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

How to boot into CWM

Tried already. I am just gonna do a NVflash and start from the beginning

On my phone, if i turn off the phone and hold vol-down and power i get the software update screen, but, if i remove the battery, put it back and do the same thing, it boots the clockwork recovery. It seems removing the battery is vital to it booting into CWM for some reason

Never managed to figure it out. Just Nvflashed, rooted, installed cwm and bam, back I'm cyanogen in 10 mins

[Q] Help! Soft brick on SGH- i957 LTE

I bricked my tablet after I tried to change my font using font installer by jrummy?
It asked me to restart for changes to occur so I figured if I restarted on my own it would work the same way so I hit cancel. I restarted about 1 minute after I hit cancel.
My tablet will boot up to the AT&T "Rethink possible" screen (after the animation).
It will get stuck there with a pattern of light vibrations between a couple seconds each.
Currently running the stock AT&T ics rom posted in the android dev section for i957.
I've tried to boot into recovery but the Samsung screen doesn't come up until I let go of the buttons therefore leading it to reboot again.
Also tried to go into the emergency download mode ( power, up, down) but it didn't work either.
I appreciate all and any advice, please and thank you!
My device is rooted if that wasn't already implied, I will provide any other details if needed, please help!!
Thanks again!

Are you sure you can't get into recovery mode? Hold power and volume up buttons, etc. Does Odin recognize the device?
Do you have a custom recovery, and if so which one, or is it stock.

keep trying to get into download mode or recovery. should be possible. the font change will not affect recovery.

I was also performing a backup with titanium backup when I restarted does that make a difference?
I have clockwork mod recovery.
From experience, I can only go into recovery if the Samsung logo pops up for a milli second and I let go.
I actually haven't tried to see if Odin recognizes my device but I assumed if I couldn't go into download mode it wouldn't.

Were you restoring apps from a honeycomb Rom? That will cause a soft brick.

If you can get into recovery do a factory reset. That should get you out of a soft brick. You'll have to re-install your apps though.

Didnt see if you worked your way out of this or not. You may have to hold 3 finger salute (power, up, down) for up to 16 seconds. My guess is that covers the 8 seconds to reboot through any hang up plus up to 8 more to boot to menu.

Still no luck, the computer is not detecting my tablet.
I also wasn't restoring, I was just backing up my data. I'm letting it charge for now, anyone know what else I should do?
I really can't enter recovery OR download.
**** UPDATE****
Okay guys I finally fixed it. Will post details if anyone is still interested.

I'd be interested in the details.

How did you do?

I couldn't go into download mode until I did some weird trick with the buttons.
I had to hold the 3 buttons ( power, vol up, vol down) for a couple seconds.. like 6 seconds
THEN hold power and vol up for 2 secs
THEN back to power, vol up, vol down.
I did it by accident cuz I was frustrated but it ended up working so all is good
Thanks for all the help guys!!

I am in the Same Boat!

if you cannot use the button combo to enter recovery, then you will need to flash a tot in edm (emergency download mode - power + vol up). That will put you in test mode (no usb mass storage). Then just use the test mode fix.

Is there a certain ZV version i should choose? or does it not matter?

The newest version that you can flash is v8. Then you would have to ota to v9 then to zvb. Then reroot and install cwm. Flash OG and call it a day.

well i can't get into the phone to turn on usb debugging, also it doesn' t seem to see the phone when it's plugged in.

Use edm (power + vol up) you will be asked to flash a phone book file. Just select the tot.

well i have my phone connected to the pc started the software, then held up and power and nothing happened.

Its a boot up button combo, turn off device, turn on (power + vol up). Just like booting into recovery. When you see the downloading screen, connect phone to computer, then select the tot as your phone book file, and click start.

I believe there is a guide on here somewhere that talks about taking the battery out. Plugging the USB in and holding vol. up/down and inserting the battery. It worked for me, but you should double check the steps I mentioned because it has been a while. I would then recommend using odin to flash to complete stock to be safe after that. Let me know if anything changes
EDIT: Here is the thread I was talking about

Won't hurt to try:
Putting the Phone into Download Mode

Its micro USB problem.
