[Q] Can't remove battery ... How do I fix this?

Made you look!
Yeah I know that the battery is non-removable, but I'm stuck.
I had Renovate nightly installed on my One and on rebooting it went to the HTC logo, then the screen went blank and after a couple of minutes looped.
However pressing the usual power and volume buttons had no effect other than to cause the capacitive buttons to flash.
When I plugged the phone into the pc and tried something ... I can't remember exactly what (not that there's many options) I finally got into the bootloader and then from there into TWRP.
Maybe this is where I went really wrong ...?
Instead of wiping and flashing I decided to just reflash the ROM. everything was good until after the aroma installed where I have the choice of "save logs" or "next" buttons to press, and it froze ... but again any combination of power and volume does nothing just the capacitive buttons flashing at me forever.
On any other phone I've had I'd pull the battery and try all over again ... please help!
...someone ...

Hold the power button for 7 seconds. When the buttons flash, do not let go. It will then force itself off.

If you're in recovery, you can try to use adb command like this:
Code:
adb reboot
or
Code:
adb reboot recovery
.
However, if you've a bootloop, try and try to reboot with the longpress of power button.
And if your rom will not boot, try to flash the kernel in fastboot

Unfortunately holding the power doesn't force reboot, the buttons just keep flashing ... I'll see how long I can hold it for ... again.
And I can't get back to recovery either. it's still in the aroma (kinda waiting for the battery to empty now) obviously adb won't work while in the aroma.
I really don't like these aroma installers, just give me .zip ... they work perfectly for me.

Aroma is cool.
Only with our Phone and, thereotecally, with the S4 will have freeze.
This, because, binary aren't updated for FullHD screen.
However, sooner or later, it will reboot, just try and try

Yeah .. sore fingers, that was about 2 minutes of holding the power button ... entered recovery, flashed a kernel, but still no boot time for a full wipe and reflash I think or try a restoring a backup.

Maybe change rom.
Which rom you're flashing?

Renovate

Umh, strange... :/
Maybe try TrickDroid or OrDroid
InsertCoin is good too!

Little trick that I have discovered after having same scary experience where aroma would stuck and no power button or adb would help rebooting.
Press and hold power button for 5+ seconds and then while still holding it press one of the capacitive buttons, either home or back. Voila!

Anyway to force shutdown the phone

I just flash a new firmware and TWRP touchscreen is not responding.
Is there anyway i could force shut down the phone?
I have already tried the following:
- adb reboot bootloader
Got an error device not found
- hold down power button for more than 10sec
- hold down both power button and vol button for more than 10sec
All the above methods doesnt work

[Solved] My phone doesn't boot

Hi,
I have a prb with my phone. I use the rom Viperone and i have decided to flash the kernel elementalX. After the installation, and after the boot animation, my phone shut down. I can't turn it on. When i press the power button, nothing happened exept the back and home button which twinkled..
When i plug my phone nothing happened.
I tryed to reboot my phone with fastboot :
cd c:\fastboot
fastboot-windows reboot
but i got the message : <waiting for device> and nothing happened.
Thx in advance

You can boot in recovery?
And, have you flashed the right version for the Viper?

No i can't. I see this on a forum :
"She lives! Should anyone with same problem come across this thread in the future, I held down the power button along with holding down both volume up and volume down buttons. This took about 3 1/2 minutes; don't give up. Everything I had read before only said volume down, not sure if that made any difference. The battery needed to be reset. Thanks for all the comments, hope this helps someone in the future"
I tried it. Whe im hlding dow both volume up and down my phone boot 4 sec then he stop. I try this during 4 min always the same : Boot 4 sec, then shut down..boot 4 sec.. etc

Buttons flashing is a good sign, hold your phone sensor under a very bright light (I'm NOT kidding) and press POWER + VOL DOWN, could take 30secs or more to reboot (and you may have to try several times), when it does reboot, keep pressing VOL DOWN to enter bootloader.
Then you'll have to go to recovery (do a "fastboot erase cache" first), and flash a compatible kernel.

While it's rebooting keep holding the VOL DOWN button, so that you can enter bootloader.

Hold power and vol down until it turns on and once it gets to the lg logo, release the buttons and press and hold them again until it gets to the factory reset screen. Hit the power button three times and it will boot into your recovery
Sent from my Vs980 Running LiquidSmooth

Thanks fellas!

The phone has to be powered OFF for the stated and linked methods to work for recovery access.
To power the phone off (if, say, you're stuck in a bootloop),
Press and hold the power and Vol- buttons for 10 seconds do not release, hold for an additional 3-5 seconds. The LG logo will flash briefly. When the screen is black, let go of all buttons. Now the phone is off, you may process to use the previously stated commands to enter recovery.

Hold volume down + power until the LG logo appears....once it appears release the power button and repress it and hold until youre into recovery... :good:

[Q] HTC One M7 does not boot

My dad's phone suddenly stopped working. It would start up, load the HTC logo and just stayed there until the battery died. As far as I know, he hasn't done anything to the phone that would cause this kind of error. I started looking into solution, I ran Recovery and Factory Reset from the Fastboot menu. Both didn't affect the device, it would still stay on the HTC logo. I recently tried upgrading the ROM using HTC's RUU exe to fix any Rom issue. I downloaded the ROM from their official site. The exe ran all the way through and even said finished at the end, but the phone now has a black screen. No lights at all and no LEDs are lit up. I tried restarting the phone by pressing and hoding the PWR button, PWR + Vol down, PWR + Vol up, and PWR + Vol up + Vol down and I get nothing. If anybody could help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advanced.
