i tried to shutdown my phone today on stock 2.3.3 CM7 based RoyalGinger, it would turn off then turn back on. I KNOW i pressed shutdown and not reboot.
Today i changed ROMS into a gingerbread sense rom, but still no luck, so it is not a ROM issue.
It has worked perfectly before so i dont know what happened. I am a student so i do need my phone off at times, and i really dont want to do a battery pull everytime i want to turn it off.
pulling out the battery then putting it back in causes phone to turn on(even if no button is pressed.)
Please help..
I have this same problem. Any ideas??
I used gfree to put my part7backup back to stock, and then used pd15img.zip to go back to stock unrooted with s-on (like new). My phone still has the same issue of not being able to power off. It would reboot after power down and power on when battery inserted. I called Customer Service and they are sending me a new phone.
Could either of you have damaged the physical power button? If not and you've already restored it could be internal hardware that just happens to be damaged..

Hi, I recently installed TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 v2.3.3.. I was texting yesterday and it randomly restarted by itself...it usually does that once in a while so i ignored it. However, this time, it kept restarting non-stop and my android won't boot, so i decided to install v2.4.1 on my phone since it was in my SD card anyway... now when I try to turn my phone on, it just vibrates CONSTANTLY non-stop with a blank screen until I pull the battery..
I tried letting it vibrate till the battery died but its still the same thing. When I connect it to the wall charger, it seems like nothing happens.. when I connect it to the computer, its the same thing as turning the phone on..
Please help, I am phoneless right now,
Thank you
Unplug your phone from charger than press and hold Volume Down button and turn the phone on.
The phone should boot into bootloader mode.
Now connect it to the PC with USB cable and flash WM ROM.
After you can start all over again and flash Android back.

Try this...Pull & keep d battery out of d fone for abt 2 mins..then pop it back in..
Enter bootloader mode..
Perform a Task29...the one by "doloop" wipes ur phone memory clean without affecting ur previously installed HSPl or Radio...
Re-Flash a rom of ur choice.

i kept the battery out for the entire night, put it back in this morning, pushed the power button and same exact thing.. ]:
Might sound really obvious but try hold in the little reset button on the back of the phone for like 10secs and see if anything happens. I had the WSOD and looked everywhere for a fix then I just did that and it worked. Goodluck.

Nothing happened... ]:
I left the phone on vibrating until the battery died... Charged it and left it out of the phone this morning until now and the phone won't even turn on when I press the power button now....It just doesn't even respond :|
Kick your phone in the nuts and try again
I wish it was that easy ):
You can't go to bootloader? What radio version u are use?
HD2 TMOUSA
rom : TyphoonCyanogenMod 7
radio: 2.15.50.14
LINTEAM LEADER(gpu dev)
Keep your phone off.
Hold Both the Vol up and Vol down buttons and then press the power button...
That'll let you do a hard reset.
Not sure if it'll help... but can it do any more harm?
My phone doesn't even turn on anymore.. I can't get into bootloader.. it doesn't charge either..
Well, its look u really fcuked the phone.
I know this really not help u at all

I sent an email to HTC today..hopefully I can fix this... I had HSPL installed so it voids my warranty if I send it back correct? ):
Anybody else heard of this problem? ):
I don't know what just happened.
My phone has syndicaterom 1.1 and visionkernel 1.2. The phone was hanging for some reason so I held the power button down and pressed reboot. It isn't turning on. The red light doesn't come on when I plug it in.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have the tep. Will they replace it without me paying anything, even though its rooted and romed? Can they even tell now?

I had same issue...but with the power off instead of reboot..but it might be related...Ive pulled battery plenty of times with no issue..but this once i decided to poweroff and this happened :/
If it were me I would yank out the battery for a minute then put it back in. Next, I would either try to boot it or put it into download mode and flash stock back in and see if it boots. If a fresh install from odin of a stock rom doesn't fix it then I suspect the phone is hosed. I don't think that's the case if I had to guess. Stock recovery and kernel and rom. Like I said, if that happened to me, that would be my next step to troubleshoot myself if the phone is bricked or what. If that doesn't fix it then I would think that it might be permanently bricked. If that was the case I would take it to a sprint repair center and tell them the phone locked up while trying to turn it off. I pulled the battery out for a minute or two and tried booting it up but nothing happened. Before you get there, take out your memory card. Don't offer any more information and don't act like you know what's going on. I did that and it worked for another phone. Be brief in explanation of what's going on, don't try and help them, keep my mouth shut and only answer questions if asked. Don't go into great details. Have a old backup phone with you to activate if they want to keep the phone to test or send back. If not, you might be without a phone for a few days.
When the replacement comes, power it up and play with it for a minute before leaving to make sure everything works and looks good. If there's a problem with the replacement phone, it would be best to point that out before leaving otherwise you will have to go through this all over again. Sometimes refurbs have flaws or stuff that doesn't work so cover yourself.
See the other thread in general about this, other people with the same problem, running the same rom/kernel configuration. Unfortunately nothing fhurricane suggested for troubleshooting worked for me. Time to go down to the Sprint store!
Please see the other thread on this topic, and please note that the ROM has absolutely nothing to do with it. Thanks!
Damn power button doesn't work and i have no way of turning it on. The reason I want to turn it on is so that i could attempt to put in the stock mt4g rom, as I called HTC and they told me that i could send it in. They did say however, that if It was running "unapproved software" that i would have to pay.
I have tried the method of turning on the phone by plugging it into the wall charger and pressing/holding the homescreen but all that does is illuminate the screen a little, but its still black. I'm running CM 7.0.3 and have the current Clockworkmod recovery. I'm hoping someone responds soon, and if i do happen to turn it on somehow, i'll still need help changing the phone back to stock bc of the fact that the power button doesn't work. Which means that i'll have to use adb, and i have no idea what that is lol.
If not, then I guess i'll just have to send it to HTC and hope they don't charge me too much. Fml.
Try taking the battery out, plugging the phone in and the putting the battery back in while the phone is plugged in. Not sure how that would help you unroot as you need to use the power button in bootloader. Maybe if you contact some devs they can write some sort of script to automate it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Nope, that didn't work, but thx for the effort lol. If I can just turn it on, they I'll use ADB to flash the stock rom. I heard you can do anything with ADB.......
I don't understand why holding the Home button after plugging the phone is just showing the illuminating black screen, instead of booting into recovery Is it a bug in the current Clockwordmod recovery??? Can anyone else on CM 7.0.3 (clockworkmod 4.x.x mt4g) confirm this?
Anyone here??? :/
UPDATE
So I couldn't turn back on and I decided to hell with it and I sent it in hoping that HTC wouldn't charge me toomuch. About 4 days later I get the email that they were sending it back, fully repaired at no charge! Even though I had CM7 in it!
Hope this helps someone else in this situation. HTC +1 in my book :]
Thanks for the update! Check your PM
After checking out the latest version of Ask Ziggy I tried to lock my phone back only to find that it wouldn't lock. Holding the power button down however did allow me to turn my phone off, so I decided to power cycle my phone. It then wouldn't turn on without my pulling the battery and reinserting it (it turned on automatically not with the power button) however after the samsung splash, it just turns off and is unresponsive. To get anywhere I've had to hold the vol. up button during the initial splash to get the phone to boot, however I still am unable to use my power button. Anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this? I tried reformating but the phone turns off before the phone to format.
Att
No SD Card
Samsung Focus rev 1.3
Magdlr
DFT custom rom (sammy rainbow, in case they have since added anything else to the list)
**UPDATE**
Phone randomly fixed itself. Don't know what happened.
Well I just got myself in a really weird situation. I will try to be as descriptive as possible about what I did wrong. My Blade was flashed with "Eco CM7 - A minimalist cm7 build" and it was working just fine until today I tried to install INT2EXTV2+ The flashing hanged at the point where it was asking me if I wanted SWAP or not and nothing would work even if I kept choosing NO! Ever since then I tried to install that my phone will just not turn on if I push the power button. BUT, if I connect the USB cable and hold the power button, the phone will power on.
I have tried formating and re installing the rom I was using and also I tried reflashing Via windows with TPT which worked just fine but even if I did so, the problem still remains. As soon as I unplug the usb the phone goes off as if the battery is dead, even if the indicator shows the battery is full. Also if I let it boot, as soon as the screen shows a glimpse of the android UI, the phone reboots.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do and what I did?
-EDIT-
After leaving it for a whole day (14 hours) to rest with the battery off and then putting the battery back on and trying to turn it on, it did. I am glad it is still alive. I still do not get what happened to it.
