Hi everyone!
I just purchased a slightly used N1 for my dad for fathers day, and the guy was telling me about how N1s have a problem with their power button. He told me it hasn't happened at all with the phone I purchased, but I wanted to ask XDA..
"Do you have a nexus one with a failing power button? & how long have you had the nexus one?"
18 months and no failure. A free app called Quickboot in the market allows you to power down with a soft button, lengthening the click-life.
Ya I use trackball wake, widget locker and quickboot so I never have to touch my power button except to turn it on from power off or to select in bootloader. The thing is is that nexus one power buttons fail after a while but it depends how much you press it if it's once every 5 minutes ya it'll die faster you can't know if it will die soon there is not really an average dying rate.
BTW: I've had mine 10 months
Power Button failure
I am desperate about my power button status, is completely out of order. I am on latest nightlies but due to FC of launcher, i had to power off my n1. Because of my power button I can not restart or access recovery mode, now it is in bootloop.
Is there any solution???

Is your bootloader unlocked??
If yes then try fastboot flashing if not then do passimg instructions are in the wiki (under unroot/restore) http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_%26_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus
Thank you Dude Random 21,
Yes, my N1 is already rooted, bootloader unlocked, however s-on not s-off. I dont quite understand why is always s-off for more than a year, but i can do everything as rooted device. I read somewhere that my N1 is not completely unlocked, this may be other story
In my situation now the power button do not properly operate as required, so I cannot shut down, ie power down my phone, for recovery option.
Help!!!
You can power down just to turn it on you'll need to plug in your charger (to your computer if you'll be flastboot flashing anyway) and then remove your battery and reinsert it (while holding trackball so you boot into fastboot) you may have to try it multiple times to get it to work.
my power button works fine after 15 months, but that is because i purposely use track ball wake and rarely ever touch the power button. and i use quickboot app as well. i just dont feel like even dealing with the possibility.
so really just root, install cyan 7 or some other ROM with trackball wake, and save the hassle.
18 months, and I use it constantly. I've installed Quickboot, but never use it. I've enabled trackball wake, but never use it...
I'm prepared for when it dies - which will probably be later this evening, now that I've said this...
My power button died after 3 months of use... I'm currently using "anyunlock".
15 months and no issues whatsoever.
P.S. I have never used trackball wake...

No problem here, but I have been careful. I normally use "Power Off and Lock" to turn it off and Trackball to wake. Owned just over a year at this point.
I worry about the trackball wearing out, but I figure if it does it won't kill me, as I don't really use it for much anything else. Love my RGB notification disco ball though, I WILL miss that, even if I don't physically use the trackball itself.

I got to white screen with 3 robotic skaters, ie screen with options: fastboot, recovery, clear storage, and simlock. As I said before, my power button does not work any more, so that I can not push pwr botton for activating recovery mode.
I tried other option using method of recovery image at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Recovery_Images. After typing the cmd "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" the notification is " waiting for device". I think adb cannot see/ regconize my n1, so that I cannot enter recovery mode.
Please enlighten me.
To use fastboot, your bootloader needs to be unlocked and the phone needs to be at the fastboot screen (hold trackball while powering up - looks like the same white 3 android screen, but the menu is slightly different)
If your bootloader isn't already unlocked you may be out of luck (you need to use the power button as part of the unlocking process).
You can use adb to boot into recovery, but you need to be in either recovery (pointless), or booted normally to use adb (won't work from hboot).
I started having problems 5 months after purchase and Videotron replaced it. My wife's N1 just started playing games, also after 5 months.

Ok, I got to the fastboot screen with menu option: fastboot USB..., bootloader, reboot, rebootbootloader, and power down. So 2 question:
In my case, my bootloader is considered as unlock??? If it is unlock how can proceed further ?????, because for selection one of options my pwr button does not work.
With ADB method: this method does not required using the pwr button: I tried as instructions
For unlocked bootloader - using fastboot
The following won't work unless your bootloader is unlocked.
1. Download Amon_RA's Recovery from one of the versions above.
2. Rename Amon_Ra's Recovery Image to simply recovery.img.
3. Download this file - Stock Recovery Remover - and copy it to the root of SDcard.
4. Toggle on USB Debugging (Settings » Applications » Development). Power off the Nexus One.
5. Boot into bootloader mode. (Hold volume down & power button until you see white screen with skateboarding androids)
6. Connect the Nexus One to the computer.
7. On the computer... Open a command prompt/terminal & navigate to the Android SDK Tools folder.
8. Type in the following commands (assuming recovery.img is in the current directory):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The result is the notifications:" wait for device" and i waited for hours...
In both cases, I cant go further, any way out???
If your phone has the padlock on the static x screen it is unlocked. It also tells you in fastboot if its locked.
Anyways as I think danger stated you need to use fastboot commands when the phone is in fastboot mode connected to the PC etc. It is a not a adb command. Its fastboot devices...etc
I'm the end you will issue the fastboot flash recovery command. Then fastboot boot recovery....
If you're unlocked your fine. You don't need power button. If you're locked you're ****ed
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yes, I confirm that there is a padlock, and I understand that my N1 is unlock.
I redid cmd: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and fastboot reboot recovery
But nothing happen. It is my N1 bricked???
My last hope is to replace Power Button.
Any suggestion???
First, make sure your phone is connected by typing:
fastboot devices
If that works, then try flashing the recovery. Post any error messages, rather than saying "it didn't work"...
Using Nexus One from April 2010 - power button working fine. Bought Nexus One directly on google site.
Hi Everyone;
I unlocked my phone for flashing custom rom. After unlocking i reebooted it and was normal. Then i flashed cwm via htc one toolkit. It was successfull as well. Then i go to cwm and made factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache. Then i go to install zip from sd card but i could not find my rom file. Thought, it was deleted while unlocking device. Then decided to reboot phone again to copy rom file into the phone and reboot.
But, when i rebooted phone from cwm, it stuck on HTC Logo( Quietly Brilliant screen). Waited sometime, but nothing happened. Then i tried to power off it and boot into bootloader or recovery. I press and hold power button but it does not respond anyhow. When i am holding power button ,back and home buttons are blinking but nothing happens. Almost five minutes i waited as holding down power button but phone does not power off anyhow. i tried all methods like vol down + power, vol up + power and both volume keys + power. But really nothing happens, just blinking back and home buttons. That's all.
I can not simply power off device. :crying:
I also tried boot device via fastboot commands but it says "waiting for device" means computer does not recognize device.
Guys, i need an urgent help. Please...
just keep trying to reboot via holding power or power+vol down. if it doesnt reboot after 30 sec or so let go then try again. if that doesnt work you will have to wait for the battery to die. once you get to bootloader use all in one toolkit to erace cache. then boot to recovery and you rom should be there if not boot back to bootloader and sideload rom

First thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunatelly, power+vol down does not work at all. Maybe i tried 50 times.
Anyhow, after battery die. How can i boot into bootloader. I mean, can phone be charged again in this situation? Also, even if i manage to boot into bootloader or recovery how can i put custom rom file into phone. Actually, i did not use sideload or whatever you mentioned before.
I am serouisly confused now and don't know what to do.
Anyhow, as you said, firlst i need wait to battery die i think. Then i will report back whats happen.
Thank you again btw.

yes your not the first person with this problem. hold power+vol down to get into bootloader. press power button in bootloader to get in fast boot mode. use all in one toolkit to erase cache and side load rom. i recommend all in one toolkit because it automates the process. just select the option then follow on screen steps
Good to hear that i am not the first person That means somehow there is a solution i beleive. Still waiting for battery die. even i had 50 percent battery at the begining but still it holds on I never say again htc battery is bad
I exeprienced that stucking on boot logo several times before with my other htc phones but holding power + vol down/up worked always. This is the first time for me that i faced with power button can not power off device.. Well, ,i hope i wish i can handle out this problem. Definetley with your help.
Regards,
I am having the same problem and don't know what to do :crying:
Today I just got my One. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed Android Revolution rom. Everything worked fine for a while... I wanted to reinstall the rom because I wanted to change some options in the installer - I did not wipe because it was the same rom (big mistake I guess!!). After making the installation option changes, when it was done it proceeded to reboot but now I am stuck in a white HTC logo boot loop hell... (with the red text at the bottom that says "this build is for development purposes only" etc). Holy crap I never had a phone that I could not remove the battery. I cannot get this back into recovery or ANYTHING, it just keeps looping... computer recognizes it, no problem with drivers or anything it just doesn't stay connected long enough (because of the constant looping) to be able to use the toolkit.
PLEASE any advice?? Can't even shut it down omg. Do I have a $600 brick here? :crying::crying:

Did you read the other posts in this thread? The way you do a "battery pull" on this phone is to HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button for ~15seconds. Your capactivie buttons will blink, too. On my device, it took exactly 15seconds to reboot. There have been some reports of some phones that get so stuck that you just have to wait until the battery dies and charge it back up.
Alternatively, if the computer is recongizing it, try to adb reboot recovery to try and get into the recovery.

hi again. this morning my battery finally out. Then i put my phone to the charger and started it in fastboot mode( that is a good new) Then i left it for 20-30 minutes to charge a little bit for flashing custom rom.Then i went to recovery and started adb sideload. Sideload was succesful and finally came to aroma installer of trickdroid. I chose my installation options and started to flash rom but process was frozen on 10 percent. It was saying unmount system, unmount cahce and both of them has notification as "already unmounted". But installation was not going on. Then again i tried to go back fasboot mode again by press and holding power+vol down but unfortunatelly lights are blinking but nothing happens again. I think i need to wait to battery die again.
Isn't it quite weird? Why power+vol down combination does not work for me anytime? So, do i need to wait for battery die in every frozen? Do you have any ideas or comments ?
Do i need to go back to stock first ?
EDIT : Battery was out again and i tried once more. This time installation (trick droid) was successful but it frozen at the end this time. And unfortunatelly i can not restart (power+vol down) it again again Holy crap, i am really pissed off with this problem.
O..K...Finally, i managed to start my phone and now it works... Especially thank you skinsfanbdh for your support.
But still i don't know how to solve button configuration problem. But anyhow i think i won't need quite sometim to use it I hope someone can find a solution for that later.
Guide me with steps please

What should I do if I can't even get to the boot screen? I tried holding down the power and volume up buttons, but it just restarts and goes back to the same HTC load screen, what do I do????
So I was going to install the InsertCoin 3.0-3 ROM and decided to update to the 2.24 firmware first. I changed the CID (I have the AT&T version) to 11111111 and installed the update as follows
you can flash it from fastboot
adb reboot bootloader (or reboot to bootloader via APM)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware-2.24.401.1-custom.zip
after it finish YOU WILL NEED TO RUN IT AGAIN
fastboot flash zip firmware-2.24.401.1-custom.zip
You should see successful at the end. Now type:
fastboot reboot

Rebooted into recovery (TWRP 2.5) and the touchscreen doesn't work. Eventually, the TWRP lock screen comes up and of course, I can't unlock it because the touchscreen doesn't work. I know the phone isn't frozen because after 30 seconds or so, the screen will turn off. Pressing the power button will turn the screen back on and the time/battery changes.
Holding down the power button makes the back and home button flash, but does not restart the phone. Holding down power+vol down does the same thing.
What do I do now? Fastboot and adb don't work so I can't restart that way

REASON:- THE NEW FIRMWARE HAS MODIFIES TOUCH SCREEN DRIVERS(its a known problem with TWRP v2.5.0.0)
SOLUTION :- press and hold power+volume and keep it pressed for almost a minute(the back light flashes 11 or 12 times turns of and then you will reboot)
Do this again or even one more time!!(also try simply power button for long)
it does the trick

I am stuck on this as well (HTC One [M7] Sprint running TWRP 2.5.0.0) and the power button + volume (ive tried both) doesnt seem to reboot the phone. Is there another solution to reboot or do i have to wait for the battery to run out of juice?
Note: This is a re-post from the Verizon HTC forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533042)
I just rooted and S-off my HTC via rumrunner.
No flash roms install or custom recovery installed.
I wanted to see if I still had CWM from my last root (I returned to stock via http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...highlight=s-on.
So I went into the bootloader or fastboot (I don't remember) and hit recovery. This did not send me to a CWM, but it appeared to be the stock version of recovery. The process took too long (I know impatient) so I turned it off via power button + volume down.
Now I come to you in need, my phone is constantly turning off/on only displaying the green htc text, no red text, then pausing for 8 seconds, then off again to black screen. The whole process lasts 12 seconds, and this had been going on for about 10-15 min atm.
Plugging it in, my computer does not have the time to recognize it with adb, or fastboot.
I cannot use the power button + volume down to go into bootloader, and pressing the power button does nothing.
Please help me.
So here's the update.
Screen is now black, meaning the boot up/down process has stopped.
I have tried these:
A. Hold down the volume down + power button for 20+ seconds.
B. Hold down the volume up + volume down + power button for 20+ seconds and let up on the volume up button when screen goes black.
These two methods results in a single boot up to green HTC text then black screen.
I suspect the device has lost most of its power. Tried it for a third time, the device is now unresponsive and remains at black screen.
Now I plugged the usb cable connected to the power adapter.
The device enters the aforementioned continuous boot loop.
I tried method A and B, and there are no results, the boot loop continues. Now the device returns to the low or no powered state.
Now the device is connected to the computer. The same happens as if it were connected to the power adapter.
Method A and B still do not work.
Results: holding down buttons longer do nothing for me. The device seems to have lost power, but when charged, immediately the device enters the boot loop state.
Note: when doing method A and B the trials were done when screen is on and when screen is off, still no results.
Now the screen is off and not connected to anything. The problem still persists.

If I had to guess I would say your volume down is broken, else it would enter hboot
plug in the power and let it charge all day. then plug it to your pc and try to adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery the instant you here the pc usb ingage.
once you get to the bootloader try and fastboot erase cache followed by fastboot reboot
after your phone boots you should be able to go back to bootloader and reinstall custom recovery

I have a few questions/concerns to this.
1. When I charge it, I can't stop the phone from the continuous boot. I'm afraid that doing this all day might hurt the phone more.
2. Currently I have been charging it via computer (still boot loop), and the computer does not recognize it at all. I think there is really not enough time because the loop duration is only a few seconds.
3. Since the phone is connected to the computer, the commands adb reboot bootloader and adb reboot recovery does not work. Error: device not found.

So what is this method supposed to accomplish?
I did this and the phone stopped the continous boot. However when I tried to go to hboot it went back into the loop. I did this twice, and I'm able to stop the loop with the bright light method, but I don't know what to do from here.
Note: when plugging phone into computer, the loop starts again.

the phone should not bootup with the power cord plugged in from an off state (are you turning the phone back on ?)
turn off phone by holding power 15 seconds under a bright light
plug phone into outlet (not PC) let charge till green light comes on (not Red)
hold volume down and power for 10 seconds ( you should be in hboot)
plug phone to PC choose fastboot hit power
your now in fastboot usb
from here you reflash recovery
fastboot erase cache and reboot recovery
if your still in bootloop I'm at a loss, and seems your hboot is corrupted I think you have to return your phone to Verizon or HTC.

Well I don't know if it is truly off, I'm just assuming it is.
But yes as soon as I plug the phone into the power adapter the red led flashes on, and the htc logo appears, then the loop continues.
I'll probably take it into Verizon tomorrow and update on what happens.
Update: Welp, I gave up. I'm going to get my replacement soon and I'll be turning it into Verizon. Really it's not that bad of a loss since I just wiped the phone, only thing is I lost my screen protector and carbon skin

sorry to hear that mate!!!
Hey there guys
today, my brother's phone had a weird problem, he was using it and the battery reached 14% (normal battery warning....meh....ignored ) then after two minutes the device suddenly got to 10% (another warning), then it died on its own in a few seconds.
he charged it for about 5 minutes and the charging animation thing said it was already at 20% (weird if you ask me) (using my LG G2 charger which is 1.8 amps) so he tried to power it on, and sure enough it did power on but to the white HTC bootloader screen, with a purple "locked" text at the top (attached image), now I haven't had any experience with HTC phones but I'm very familiar with recoveries and stuff with samsung phones, but this one refuses to do anything, only the volume up button works for selecting items, but you can't go back with the volume down, nor can you select anything with the power button, you're basically stuck just shifting through the items.
I tried powering it on and off several times and the same thing even when the battery is at 70%
phone is International unlocked 4.4.2 and fully stock, no root, no nothing, haven't even gone into recovery before today and was only updated via OTA a couple of months ago with no problems what so ever.
anyway any one got an idea what might have caused this?!
thanks guys
Try to click on fastboot & connect it pc
fastboot erase cache
If not you're still in warranty so don't panic go to service center

Thanks for your reply, but the power button does nothing, I can't click on any of them, it says press power to select, but I can't select anything
and no, it's not under warranty sadly.

ok your phone not in warranty but you not rooted it software unchanged so HTC will flash your software with minimal charge
Unlocked boot loader phone they usually change motherboard & charge much
If you can't get in fastboot it maybe very difficult some one can help you here
So try service center at least once

Thanks mate, sadly, where I live there aren't any HTC official service centers, I was hoping I could solve it on my own
Like I said, I only know my way around samsung devices, haven't even gotten the chance to play with my G2 yet, so could you tell me what the RUU is? is it like the bootloader files? and can I get into recovery or fastboot via any other way? flash stuff using a PC Flash tool maybe???
Actually the problem was very simple, the volume down button was stuck for some reason (actually I accidentally dropped the device from my hand 2 days ago) so that is why the device booted into hboot it seems and that is why I was unable to choose anything with the power button, I removed the volume buttons and cleaned it and now everything works.
Many thanks for your time my friend.
Your good luck !!
RUU is same as pc flashing tool which works own it contains full software Rom for phone
