My LG G2 downloaded an update last night and I accepted the install. I woke up to a blank screen and i Can't do anything on it. No download mode or recovery. It was rooted before hand. VS980 Please someone help me. I see the lg screen for a few seconds then it goes all blank. If its plugged into the computer the LG screen only comes up for a split second.
Charge it for a few hours and go from there. Sounds like the battery is dead.
If you hold the power button does it continually vibrate in spurts? If so, then it's most likely just a dead battery.
Here's some more help for you.
Hold down power + volume down...the phone will turn off, but don't release them yet. It will flash LG logo for a split second and then turn off completely and stay off. You may release the buttons now.
Press and hold power + volume down. when you see the LG logo release the power button ONLY and then quickly press it and hold again until you boot into recovery.
Hit power twice to enter recovery

Holding volume up + plugging in your USB to the computer will get you to download mode as well and let you stock the phone.

I flashed this rom ( Sprint_HTC_One_1.31.651.2_Stock_Rooted ) . Phone booted and touch screen stopped working. I'm in a rough situation because the phone also will not reboot. I've tried holding all buttons, just the power button, the power and volume down button. No resolve. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this phone reboot (besides waiting for battery to drain lol )so I can try to install another rom and see if touch screen comes back. Thanks
You need the newest firmware it sounds like

I cant do anything with the phone though because its stuck on the lock screen. Cant touch anything and cant get it to reboot
Oh and I accidently posted in the wrong section... wasn't sure if I should just leave it up or delete it
Just ask the dev to move it....hold the power button and volume down then release power after about 7 secs and press it again but keep volume pressed the whole time to get to boot loader then go to recovery from there

that would work great if the phone was off...but the phone is on the lock screen... When I hold the buttons It counts down 3....2.....1 then hangs at 1.. Ive held the buttons for over a minute no dice..... It seems the only way to reboot is through ADB but I cant allow my computer to connect to the phone because of the screen being locked... wish there was another way to reboot this phone without waiting for the battery to die

Hold the power button until the home/recent apps buttons at the bottom stop blinking...if it reboots let go of the power and hold vol down this will get you to the bootloader
If it does not reboot press the power and let it start to reboot and hold vol down
The buttons just continue to blink.. no reboot just stuck at lock screen

If you hold the power button down long enough it will power down or reboot
I held the power button down for over 2 minutes... should I hold it longer? Here's what happens, after holding the power button... on about 5 seconds in a message pops up and says continue holding power button for reboot. I continue to hold it and a count down starts.... goes from 3 to 2 to 1.... the phone just stays at one no matter how long I hold the power button in for

hmmmm never seen that before, try holding power and vol down see if it gets you to bootloader
Yeah tried that... pretty much tried all button combinations for all amounts of length....this is how stumped I am. I've been a member on this site for years and I think this is the first time I ever had to post a question about a phone. I seem to always find an answer but this time I just couldn't I'm baffled as to what can be happening and why this phone wont reset.
Yeah I mentioned that in an earlier post. I cant adb because I cant unlock the phone to allow the computer to be trusted by the phone... I have the phone sitting on the table with a piece of tape holding the power button in causing the screen to stay on and keep the endless countdown going... hoping that kills it quick..... I guess that's the solution to this problem if anyone else may happen to come across the same thing lol

How did you get yourself into that situation, lol. This is why I slightly perfer the Galaxy's because you can just pop the battery off. I get a HTC and just try and do as little as possible, and quad check everything.
Did you get it done atleast?

When you are holding the power button down and it starts to count down shine a flashlight at the light sensor to the left of the speaker on the top (or hold it under a bright light). I had this happen to me before where it wouldn't simulate the battery pull. Just sat there. Apparently the phone has a built in defense to not reset in low light situations in case you accidentally hit the power button while the phone is in your pocket. The flashlight on the sensor trick works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314952
Hi all
My girlfriend's sister got a Moto G 2014 this past Christmas.
It's unlocked, and I THINK she already got the 5.0 upgrade.
Yesterday she dropped the phone into me as "all of a sudden it stopped working"
The phone is bootloopin. The white Motorola powered by Android screen will come up, it buzzes, and restarts the phone.
The battery ran out by itself,but that made no difference.
Put the phone on the charger, pressed the power button after a while and same thing happened.
Only difference is that now every now and again it also shows the 0% empty battery screen.
Read around here somewhere about getting into the recovery and wiping the cache partition might solve this, but the button combinations I've seen online (pwr+up/dwn or pwr+up) don't seem to be working.
AND to make it worse, she obviously has no receipt for this.
So please... any ideas?
Charging for just a few minutes may not not be enough. You need to charge it for an hour or so then try to boot to recovery.
Charge it for 1-2hrs..then press power+voldown button together.. Hold it for 5 secs and release them together.. Now tell me whether the bootloader opens or not?

Unfortunately, as soon as the phone starts charging it turns itself on and goes into boot loop.
No buttons pressed or anything, as soon as it stars getting charge it's on!

While plugged in, you should be able to hold the power down until the screen goes black, it may take a few seconds.

Nope, no matter the duration of holding the button, it just keeps on bootlooping.
It's not even holding a charge as it starts bootlooping as soon as there's some juice in it.
Never seen anything like it!

Since it is booting or at least trying to, have you tried holding just the volume up or volume down by itself through one of those bootloops. I mean just keep holding the volume button without touching the power button. This is the major fault I can find with a non-removable battery. You can't easily remove the battery, which will fix some common problems.

Volume Up button doesn't stop bootloop.
Volume Down button DOES stop bootloop.
Afterwards:
Power button - Back to bootloop
Power button plus Volume Down button- Back to bootloop
Power button plus Volume Down buttonfor 5 seconds then release - Back to bootloop
No button pressing - Back to bootloop after 15/20 seconds by itself
Dear Xiaomi Mi3 users,
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before.
Basically my touch screen is totally cracked and unresponsive. I need to replace my screen. I ordered a screen and repair kit from China, and it has arrived. However the instructions say that I should switch off my phone before attempting to replace the screen. The problem is, the screened is cracked and I can't press any buttons. Holding the power button for a long time simply reboots my phone, it doesn't shut it down.
What should I do???
Thanks!!

1) when your phone reboots at that time press the volume up button , the phone will enter into recovery mode and from there you can turn of your phone without even touching your screen
2) you can plug in a PC Mouse t your phone sing a OTG cable and can access all the functions without touching the screen

After restarting, when you see the MI LOGO, hold power & volume down button, it will execute the fastboot and just wait for a second your phone will automatically shuts off.

Is it not "Volume Up" and "Power Button"? iso just "Volume Up" button.
I just had to do this too.
Hold power button for ten seconds to reboot.
Immediately switch to power + volume up to get to fastboot
But the fastboot screen does not automatically shut down. And holding down the power button for ten seconds reboots again. And because of my broken screen, i can't see the fastboot menu.
In the end I plugged it into a computer, installed adb, and did adb shell and adb reboot -p (-p for poweroff)
Now, back to replacing my screen, being very careful not to press the power button this time.
Hi,
Today I had the same problem. Xiaomi Redmi 4x with broken screnn and I could not shut it down to replace its display. After a few tries I found the solution.
Just press Power button and Volume Down and DON'T RELEASE THEM UNTIL THE SMARTPHONE IS COMPLETLEY SHUTDOWN. After about 8 seconds the smartphone will reset . Don't release the Power and Volume Down buttons , wait and the smartphone will boot again in another mode. Continue to keep both buttons pressed and after about 10-15 seconds it will really shutdown.
Good luck!
I've been charging the tablet for 4 hours. It still has a black screen that says fast boot in small letters. This didn't happen with the other one I purchased.
Does anyone have any advice? I want to give it to my daughter tomorrow!
Help!
If you've not been doing anything with it connected to a computer to install things I think you've accidentally pressed volume down when pressing the power button to turn it on.
If so press the power button until it turns off and then turn it back on with hands away from volume controls.
Hopefully just that
So, long story short, wifes s6 was dropped. Screen wont turn on and her damn alarm keeps going off. Is there a way to power this damn thing down without having to use the screen? No I did not have USB debugging checked it is 100% stock. nothing shows up when I try to use ADB...

Try holding power button down for 15 or 20 seconds. Should power down
Yeah tried that, no luck.
Home Button + Volume Down + Power Button will reboot the phone then press the Power button.

If you get stuck in download mode hold down power and volume down, it will exit download mode but will just reboot your phone.
