My power button doesn't work. I'm root but still using stock rom. I am able to remap the power button to the genius in order to turn it off, and restart. In order to turn on the phone if the phone is off, I have to take the battery off and put in on therefore the phone reboot itself.
I am wondering if that option (turn in on itself after putting the battery on) is a feature of the phone itself or the stock sense. I don't want to flash I rom and find out that I can't turn the phone on ever again.
Can somebody with a custom rom please take out the battery and put it on (that's what she said) and let me know if the phone turn in on.
Thanks for your help
I am running CM7 and the phone did not reboot after putting the battery back in.
IF you are using Clockwork ROM manger you should be able to pull the battery and plug it into a computer adn it'll boot.
If you are just temp rooted with s=on i don't know that i'd worry about it.
Thanks.. I think I'm not going to flash a new rom
I cant safely access the custom recovery.

pull battery out, and put it back in , hold down the volume button and while your holding it turn the phone on, it will take u to the bootloader screeen, u should be good from there.

You are not doing it correct. If you are pressing the volume down button while the phone is powering up, you should go straight into bootloader and you should NOT see the HTC screen.
Furthermore, put a new ROM into your SD card before you do this, so you can flash another ROM.

Hi,
Is it possible to install a rom on my N1 from the computer? ( like we do with winmo)
The power button of the phone is broken, and I can't copy the zip file into the sdcard.
plz help me
your power button is broken and you can't mount the SD card?
I used dropbox to install a bunch of stuff a few times when I had broke kernels.
So how do you get to recovery? rom manager?
I've nothing at this moment, my phone is turned off ( the battery was removed);
so I can't boot the phone or get the recovery mode.
I don't know if there is a solution to get something from computer.
Search the forum (and Q&A section too), the way to power on a phone with dead power button has been discussed.
Once you're powered on - you can use reboot commands to get to recovery, etc.
I've really tried to search, but I didn't find an answer (probably because my english is poor).
If you know where to find the answer, could you plz give the url, I will follow the discuss on that thread.
thanks a lot

I've tried all day but my phone will not turn on.
I dont know what to do now.
My phone is bricked ?
Plz, can someone help me ?
I've tried to boot the phone ( like described here in different post) but it doesn't
work for me. The phone turn on except the screen which is still turn off.
I hope there is e solution to boot my phone.
You can power on the phone by plugin usb cable, wait until led goes on, immediately pull of battery and wait until led goes of, then plugin battery back and phone should power on.
After that you can boot to bootloader by pressing trackball and from there you can go to recovery or install new rom using fastboot.
hi houmles,
thx for your help. I've tried exactely like you said, but the screen is still turn off.
I've pressed the trackball but nothing happend, just tthe sensitives keys backlight turned on.
Maybe I'm do it wrong.
You should try this application called droid explorer

If the soft keys turn on the phone is on......is there a light in the upper right of the screen The charging light? Have you opened the nexus? Possibly the connector is off or lose for the screen? Or the screen is broke from dropping or water?
So I just downloaded obsidian and i meant to turn off the phone. when i held down the power button, my hand accidentally touched the 'download' button and now im on a screen with an andriod dude shoveling some papers or something and it says 'DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET".
What did I do?
What is my phone doing and how long until it stops?
THANKS to ANYONE that can help me
You're in download mode, just reboot, hold the power button down until it does so.
You are in downlaod mode. Useful when flasshing via odin.
Just turn it off. SInce you are not currently flashing anything, you will be fine.
just pull the battery, put it back in and power on normally. And your fixed
you entered download mode on accident just pull your battery and reboot like normal.
Please, help me!

if indroid is a tar file, open and verify whether there is bootlader and sbl.bin. You can use 7zip, winrar to open it. If they are not there, its good
Remove the battery
Reinsert the battery
Press volume down key + Press Home Key + press power button. This will take you to download mode. Reflash the ROM
During reflash leave the system idle till the time you dont see reset in ODIN. ensure that during idle process system doesnt go to standby. This usually happens with factoryfs.rfs file
To download mod I can not go. How can I get to recovery mod? I am not sure. Is any way how to go to root of mobile if mobile is switched down?
Please, help me....
recovery is vol up+vol down+home+power. but is the boot.bin and sbl.bin included in the tar of indroid?
NO, there are only: cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, datafs.rfs, zImage
To recovery mod I can not get too
So, what do you think about my problem? Can I repair it?
Please, do you have any ideas how to repair it?
Hmm if there weren't any boot loader files then maybe you might have ran out of battery. Try charging your phone and check if the charger animation appears also is the phone completely turned off or does it start then stop?

It doesn´t do anything. The display is still only black. Mobile doesn´t react. But I have mobile conected to charge cable and battery is quite hot so mobile is probably charging.
Disconnect the charger wait till it cools down then try turning it on and remove the battery while its cooling down and what happens when you hold the power button down.

If you can reach recovery that means you can reach download mode. You are somehow pressing volume up + Vol down.... Try specifically pressing vol down key
If that fails, and your phone had usb debugging enabled....boot the phone, it will be stuck in the middle....Connect usb cable and use adb, command "adb reboot download" . I am not sure it will work but its worth to try
He can't boot the phone or go into recovery mode. Something tells me It is his battery
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
wait for some time...remove battery wait for 15 mins...plug it again n go into recovery mode or download mode! tell me and try!
And the rom is already flashed...indroid doesnt come with a bootloader...no custom ROMs these days come! :/
Thank you for your ideas. I have tried this one with adb but nothing. Now I a trying to remove battery and give it again after 15 minutes. I hope to it will be good.
Please what it means that rom doesn't have bootloader?
EDIT: This rom is with kernel but I didn't install this kernel on my mobile. Could it be the problem?

Hmm, basically bootloader is when you start your phone it says GT-i5800 samsung and if it's not there you can't start your phone. Also I need to know can you turn on your phone or not.
Oh I thought something like this.... I can not turn my phone on
So nothing happens when you hold down the power button?
nothing
Hello,
I'm on LG G2 Stock Rom on Kit Kat (4.4.2). The phone is rooted but no custom recovery as I just need "root" to run Titanium backup.
Yesterday, I attempted to update the 1 XML file to increase speaker volume. Upon restart the phone will stuck on LG logo and does nothing.
I can access download mode. So now, i'm downloading LG Flash Tool and KDZ file for my phone to flash all back to stock.
The question is now: how do I turn off the phone? Pressing power button will simply restart the phone - it never goes to off.
Another question: if I don't install any custom recovery, is there any stock recovery installed? When I attempted to go to recovery (by pressing volume down + power method), I was presented with Factory reset questions. I clicked OK twice and then Android logo appears (it seems like it's attempting to really do a factory reset) and then phone reboots.
If I can go to stock recovery, I hope I can access the storage inside and redo what I did yesterday.
Anyone can help? Or share some knowledge?
Thanks
The latest software upgrade was installed by using LGMobile support tool. I'm back to stock and finish with ioRoot.
Now, going to use AutoRec to install recovery (better to have custom now, so if this happens again, I have a way to access my phone data).
No answers given but it's no longer urgent now. Still if anyone found a way to off the phone when boot looping other than waiting for battery to run dry, by all means, please reply the thread.
Thanks.

Unplug the USB cable if it's plugged.
Hold power button for like 30 seconds straight.
To turn off phone ,just push volume down and power button same time for like 7-10 sec, it will be like restart , but keep them pressed until screen shuts off again (it will take less then 1 sec). Thats all

I didn't time 30 seconds, but I did press power button for a long time. Is this method for when you can use the phone? Mine is during boot loop.

I can't say for sure now, since I have my phone backed-on. But I sort of press these buttons for a long time at the beginning (when I wasn't really sure how to go to recovery mode). But good to know about this - (for next time ).
thanks both!
Only method i know to completely shut down phone in any situation is what i already wrote in last post.

Agreed.
it happen to me too when I try to install MIUI ROM.
Pull off USB cable and long press power the power button
Thanks. I'll remember this, if I got unlucky and stuck in booth loops.
For now, I installed recovery, so hopefully if this happens, I can still access my internal folder and do the require changes.
