My friends SGY also having this problem (power button not responding) when it was with Evo 4.2 with Percy kernel and power button also stopped responding
Then I tried pressing volume + home + power button while it was rebooting and it booted to recovery so I wiped both cache and data and rebooted but my rebooting issue was not resolved
There after I tried many times pressing combination buttons and to my surprise it was booting to recovery or download mode depending on volume key I used
It was indication that power button was working but after rebooting it was not working.
Now I flashed stock firmware and rebooting issue is resolved but still power button is not responding after reboot but it is allowing mobile to come to recovery or download mode
Is it a hardware issue which I doubt because it is responding before booting
Or what else can cause it and any suggestions for this

Flash stock firmware again or change the button, it cost about 7$

Thanks for responding
I already changed to stock firmware but of no much help
I am confused because power button is working correctly in combination with home and volume buttons to go to recovery / download mode

Hello All!
New user here and first post
I recently got an S4 i9500 and been trying to root it. When ever I try to access download mode with the 3 buttons combo, I end up in the factory menu? I have tried endlessly to no avail with dif buttons combo but no luck.
Not sure if Im doing it wrong or if there is an issue with my device. Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Volume down + home + power is download mode

turn off your phone, hold volume down first followed by home button followed by power button for 3 to 4 seconds then release first power button then the others
Buy an usb-jig? You get that for~3$

You mean't Android 4.3 and the recovery does this for security.
To access the recovery you have to press volume up and power until it unlocks the menu.

You have to keep pressing it and holding it until it unlocks.
Mine and the others unlocks fine so yours should work.

Wait, a red light?
Are you on low battery?
Maybe it is either a low battery command, access denied to to too many attempts or incorrect combination.
Try doing the same to the up and down keys followed by the power.

Battery are full
The battery are full,
I tried doing all the combination , my recovery is dead!!!
any ideas?

I also have the exact same issue. I never tried entering stock recovery before now and I tried to do it now, after updating OTA to 4.3 and rooting with wugfresh toolkit, 1.6.8. Regardless of how many times I have tried, it just reboots normally and can't access the stock recovery.

So you cannot access the recovery using the bootloader?, if so then it is probably corrupted.
I have the stock recovery image file here which you can flash via Fastboot.

I imagined the same. The toolkit itself, is giving you the option of reflashing the stock recovery, I think that I will try this at first. The weird thing is that the phone boots up normally, works as it should and is rooted successfully.
Actually there was no need to flash anything new. I finally made it to work. When in the "No Command" screen, you have to press the following:
1) Press only the power button first
2) While holding the power button, press the vol up button for a couple of seconds
3) Let go ONLY of the vol up button, while still pressing the power button.
Tested and working!
Just looked this up for a customer at my shop and works like a champ. Thank you

Excellent. Thanks for that. It was doing my head in.
The question is though will OTA updates still work? And the answer is yes. I flashed back to 4.2.2 and the 4.3 update came through OK. Happy days as I may well pass my N4 on soon and it needs to work 100% for a non tech wife.

Hi guys! I have a problem. Today I was trying to install cyanogenmod on my friend's lg l5. He said me he has just rooted and locked BL on that phone but he hadn't already the CWM. So I searched guides to install it and I found that I could install it through ROM Manager. I have installed this app and then installed recovery. That app said me that the process had been fine. So I restart to enter recovery mode by pressing volume - anf power and then the central button but it didn't work. The phone restarted normally but it was hardly resetted? Why is happened?? I can't enter in recovery mode, I need help please
PS Sorry for my bad english

Sorry if I do not understand what you said
The phone running on, do you pressed de volume- anf power and the home button?
If yes, you do wrong.
The correctly mode is press the same buttons, with the phone off, as you were turning on the phone.
Sorry for my bad english too

The first time I used the function "restart in recovery mode" of ROM Manager but it didn't work. The second time I turned off my phone and then pressed the buttons but didn't work yet
try vol + and power button, it will go in CWM
vol - & power = hard reset
vol + & power = cwm
vol +&- & usb cable = download mode
Thank you! I'll try tomorrow

Hey, I just recently installed twrp, and I know this a common question, but for the life of me, I can't access recovery from back buttons at all, hold power and down, get lg logo release, press again to recovery? Had to get quick reboot, but worried when flashing new Rom or mods won't be able to get into recovery for a fix if something goes Bork...I'll keep trying

From a power off state, hold power and volume down. When you see the LG logo, let go and quickly HOLD power and volume down again. Keep holding and after a few seconds you should see a white screen that says something about factory reset blah blah. Tap the power button 3 times and it will take you to TWRP. If you're ever stuck in a bootloop, long press the power button. When you feel a vibration, immediately go through the same steps to get back into recovery. Does take some practice so you may wanna try it when you have some spare time to get the hang of it.
you can use xposed module called Advanced power menu - it gives you an option to reboot into recovery using power button from the system shut down/power off menu...
before i found that module - i used "switch pro widget" which has a shut down/reboot icon included which worked as well...
OK, This is weird, it worked by holding power and volume down together for about 5 seconds, it popped up the same way, but appreciate the help

The phone is not More Warranty and I can not flash the original rom just go into recovery because the phone restarts all the time ... but since you just insert the battery the phone begins to restart without crushing any key may not be the key power stuck ?

I'm trying to understand you, if you can't access to any of that than you somehow hard bricked your device, and I suggest you to take your phone to service. Try to remember what you done with your phone before that happened
Sent from my SM-G800H using Tapatalk
Is it reboot instantly or after 2-3 seconds?
If you got enough time try to clear cache in recovery

So you are telling that your buton is constantly pressed and that you have no need to hold it when entering a download mod?

Yes .... although I can crush
Hmm it stuck on force rebooting same as if you hold power button.
Try holding your button in random moment for few second maybe it fix itself
