[Q] Can't shutdown my Moto X -- it just reboots itself - Moto X Q&A

I rooted my VZW non-dev 4.4 Moto X. Now, I am having a weird problem. I couldn't shutdown my phone! Whenever I press the power button and choose Power Off, it reboots itself instead of shuts down. What can I do?

Oh, let me clarify -- the phone works perfectly. It's not stuck in a bootloop or anything like that. It just reboots normally. The only problem I am having is that it cannot be shut down.

Are you on the stock rom? You may have fastboot on. I had that on and the same thing was happening to me, but not on the moto x, it was on an htc one. But if you are on the stock rom disregard.

I have the stock rom, but if in order to root KitKat, I had to downgrade the recovery. Not sure if something got wrong. But what do you mean by having fastboot on? How do I check it and how do I turn it off?
Many thanks!

Was going to ask this. If you're plugged in I think it will boot up again right away.

Moto G needs USB unplugged in order to shut down
I want to confirm my 1st generation Moto G also kept rebooting after a shutdown / power-off. It stopped doing this after I disconnected the USB cable.

You do not have that Samsung logo when you try to power on phone? Do factory reset if you can, in recovery.

So you can go to download mode, but can't turn on the phone or go to recovery coz you only get the vibration, which suggest (ofc, lol) the phone won't even properly boot?
Everytime my battery is near zero and the phone shuts itself down and near total death, that's what happens. It just vibrates but nothing happen. IMHO, I don't think that you're facing bootloop or anything.
In your case, you said that you charged it and by the time you wakes up it's a goner. I would recommend trying a new battery for now. Your current one might be dead as in broken or something. Trying a new battery won't hurt.

I have the same problem, but a little different. I've thinked that was battery problem as you, i've bought a new battery, but nothing is changed. I was running JetMod. When my phone has low battery and than shut down i try to recharge it but doesn't work anything! if i try to turn it on it only vibrates (with black screen, nothing happened). The only thing that can i do is go to download mode, but for a few time becouse after 10 sec it shut down, so i think that it has not been charged.. I observe, when it was alive, when i try to charged it, that not many time he started recharging, i don't know why.. i've tried different plugs or with computer but it works only when it wants to..

I had same issue when i changed governor: cable plugged but battery don't charge ( i think )
Going to sleep, wake up and founded phone discharged.( when power up i had black screen and little vibration )
Remove battery, wait, insert battery, plug power cable, and wait if you see the battery logo charging.
Then Boot your phone.
If this not work ask to Samsung assistance

[Q] Xperia V bricked

I've owned my Xperia V for a month after buying it.
I just had flashed PACman ROM and out of habit clicked fix permissions.
It was taking a long time so I pulled out my battery.
I turned it on, the phone vibrated but did not turn on.
Is there a way to recover my phone? Please help!
have you tried flashing the rom again?
Like always, its very difficult to help you when you give so little information...

Sorry.
I flashed PACman ROM to my phone.
Out of habit, I did Fix Permissions.
Since it was taking a long time and thought nothing would happen, I pulled out my battery, put it back in and started to reboot it.
It vibrated a little bit but there was no backlight and the Sony logo didn't appear.
I tried it again the same thing. I did it multiple times and it seems like the phone turns off at initialization.
I tried to use Fastboot and Flashboot modes by using the volume rockers but the LED just blinked and turned off.

[Q] [Dead] Totally dead phone

Hi.
Today, after flashing a cwm recovery, I install the carbon rom 4.4.2 (and gapps) through the recovery, and everything has going fine, so i reboot the phone and... nothing. Absolutely nothing. The phone is always power off and it won't turn on. I tried to enter in download mode, recovery, change battery but neither is happening. What can I do now? Dump in the trash?
Thanks a lot!

One solution would probably be a "USB-JIG"
next time use TWRP recovery as novafusion suggests

Just return it to your seller. The contract of sales lies with the seller, not for you to send it to the manufacturer. I fully drained the battery of my bricked S3 mini before sending it back to Amazon (my seller) and they never found out it was rooted
I got the USB Jig; I remove the battery for 20 second and put in again, insert the usb jig... nothing again.
Well, i think I can dump it ._.

Hey bro ! Try this. Remove your battery and hold on volume down button. While holding button connect your phone to PC via phone. It must boot in download mode. I hope it will work, good luck

Charging device when switched off reboots to TWRP

Hey
I have a problem with my device; Whenever it is switched off and I plug the charger on it always boots to TWRP but it does not work- The touch screen doesn't work and pressing the power button locks it and cant swipe meaning I have to manually reboot it.
Thanks

There are a lot of other threads talking about this this problem is known, and there's no solution yet (we have to wait for official twrp support). The only solution for now is to reflash original recovery.img and get back to stock recovery

that shows only when you booting into recovery. the only way is to flash stock recovery
Oh, well, it's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue.
However, why should I flash stock recovery? I mean, there are no further issues, the phone still charges while in this state, and I can reboot it with my PC. There is one thing I'm worried about;
What if I turn off USB debugging? If I would end up in the "stuck recovery" after I have done so, would I be unable to get out?
And also, I think there is a possible fix.. Wouldn't it be possible to reboot the phone by just pulling out the battery and turning the phone back on? Yes I know, "battery is not removable" but I'm pretty sure it is, it always is. It's not going to be easy tho.

i don't see why you have to switch off your phone. theres a lot of options in stock rom like "do not disturb", "airplane mode" etc so you don't have to switch off.
It seems this problem happens when you reboot your phone while charging ( i never had problems) try to avoid that.
ps - i never switch off my phone and only reboot it if needed or maybe once a month. But thats me.

I never turn my phone off, but sometimes I can't charge my phone in time and the battery runs dry. See? I can't reboot at 0%, so I have to charge it a little. Now you could tell me that it still isn't a problem, since the phone still charges in recovery and I can use commands to reboot system.. sure, but I'm working on a way to prevent anyone from entering recovery or using adb-debugging or hard resetting my phone (from a distance, if phone is stolen). This would turn off adb-debugging, causing the phone to be stuck in recovery for ever, if it were to charge in off mode. I guess I'm the only one having a problem with the bug

You can remote reset your phone using Google device manager. You can ring, lock or erase phone and check last location.

I'm using avast since there are more options for rooted devices I'm well aware of the google device manager, but thank you anyway!
I'm using the Honor 7 with TWRP 3.0.2.0by paulobrien and Unofficial CM13 by papsi177 and having the same issue.
When charging while the device is turned off, it automatically boots into twrp. Does anyone have a solution? Are there other recoveries (except the stock recovery) which doesn't have this problem? Is it somehow possible to modify e.g. a file to have a nice charging animation instead?
It isn't that big issue, but it would be nice to solve this anyway...

I found that users phones and recovery gets different reactions.
When i tried cm12 i had that same "issue" but with cm13 i had the battery animation. Same thing with getting phone freeze when battery run out.
The best chance is to try different recovery versions and hope for the best.
That said, i only switch off phone when battery died on me.
im currently still with TWRP 2.7.1.0-20140802

The green light usually appears when it doesn't have enough juice to power the screen and show that its charging. If you really have charged your phone for several hours and the only thing you get from it is the green light, its very likely your battery is permanently dead. You could purchase a replacement battery and install it, either yourself or some shop. But, considering the software and now hardware issues you're having, I would just relieve your Moto X and look for a replacement.

Of course! Sorry for the late response, just went through my PM's today. Hopefully you have better luck on the next phone!
But when a Moto X has also hardbrick turn on the green LED.
You can try the trick of wire. (To do this you must open the moto x)
