Okay, so my power button broke, and I've been using widgets and shortcuts on my phone to lock it and restart etc and my pc and ADB to turn it on once its off. So I decided to flash Cyanogenmod 12 on my phone, i logged into recovery, wiped my phone, and then got stuck in the recovery because the touch screen wasn't working wHere the navigation buttons in TWRP are. The power button is broken, so I couldn't turn it on. I didn't have the tools to perform a battery pull either. -_- So I decided to wait till my phone's battery was completely drained on TWRP, took almost 5-6 hours. And now my phone won't even charge. Did I brick it or something?
BUMP.. please help people :/
Connect the charger and i am sure it will charge the battery. Then after an hour or so unplug the charger and after 15 seconds connect your charger again but remember to use the key combination for recovery (like if volume up and power button gets you in recovery then just use volume up button). You dont need power key as charger will do this for you. Now you will be in recovery and from there you can do reboot or flash a custom rom.

Is it a necessity that I wait 15 seconds before plugging it in again?

Hi,
Last night my nexus died, i have no idea why. it was working fine until the battery drained and when i tried to charge the phone the LED charged to RED and nothing happen.
I have tried every thing that i can think of to reboot the phone but with no success.
(charging it all night, pressing any button combination.. etc.)
the only thing i can do with the phone is when i press the power + volume up for 30-60 sec the red led turn off.
I have taken apart the phone and disconnected the battery for few hours and tried again, but noting helps.
I believe that the problem is that the battery is fully drained and i need to charge it without using the phone.
how can i do it ?
do you have any other recommendations ?
Thanks

Hi,
Try this:
Faux123 said:
I got into many red LED situations, I was able to come out of it everytime by using the procedure I posted above (that post was from pure experience I had).
red led bootloop unbrick procedure
1. plug phone into USB cable connected to computer
2. wait for it to go into charge animation
3. unplug, then press power button to boot, immediately press vol up + vol down.
4. hopefully you booted into bootloader mode (rinse and repeat steps 1~4 if you can't get to this point)
5. chose recovery (if your recovery is corrupted, repeat steps 1~4 and do fastboot flash recovery cwmxxx.img)
6. from recovery choose restart system
if you can't get to step 2, because N4 has a bug with battery capacity, plug your phone into AC charge and let it charge for a few mins. then restart from step 1...

But even if disconnected / reconnected the battery still nothing... (howewer it's a good solution for the red light of death)
Try the thing above or let your phone in charge for some hours and don't use it...
If nothing works -> warranty
and if you get into download mode instead of red led use power and hold it for 10 secs till the screen goes off then quickly press and hold power up and down at the same time to boot into bootloader

I read somewhere that disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it will clear this issue, of course it means that you have to open the phone which is not hard

Hi,
@ fakeer, when you said you have disconnect the battery, you mean you have open the phone? Or it's just plug / unplug from the charger? This is what I understood...
Like DynamicRam said you can open the phone and disconnect / reconnect the battery...

It looks like your battery(battery sensor) is damaged

I just flashed MOAR rom on my phone a few days ago and everything was working perfectly then while at work I pulled my phone out of my pocket and noticed my case had slipped off and was holding the power button down. After fixing the case I tried to unlock my phone and nothing came up on my screen. I held down the power button and the only thing that happened was my LED indicator is flashing green rapidly and at different brightness. Then I pulled the battery and left it out of my phone for 2 hours and still the only thing that is happening is the LED. When I plug it into my computer without me hitting the button the LED is flashing. It wont boot into recovery and I don't want to send it in and them find a custom rom on it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am assuming it won't go into download mode either? Try holding the power button in for at least 30-40 seconds.

No, I've tried holding just the power button for a minute or trying to go into either download or recovery mode and got nothing.

Try the same thing with the charger plugged in.
"Try holding down the power button for 1 minute with the charger connected. If this doesn't present the screen, try holding the power button AND both volume buttons at the same time. This should bring up a menu. There should be an option for reboot or force reboot"

Thanks for trying to help, I've tried holding both volume and power button for a minute and nothing. After having it plugged in for a few minutes my battery started to get warm.

Just something I found while looking for answers. At least your battery is getting warm. That is better than the alternative.

Are you using the original data cable? Try a different USB port maybe?
I have a at&t S4 that all of a sudden today stopped working. When I restart the phone by taking the battery out and putting back in, it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and then a black screen. I tried going to recovery mode(volume up + home + power button), and it shows recovery booting in blue for a sec then goes black. I tried for download mode the warning comes up but after pressing volume up it goes black. I really don't know what to do at this point.
Tried using kies or smart switch to perform a firmware recovery?
Yes, the computer doesn't recognize that the phone is connected. It's as if when the phone goes to the black screen its actually powered off. The only time I get anything from the phone is when I pull the battery and reinsert it.

When the phone battery are too low, the phone could behave like that too.
Do you know that battery is fully charged or has more than 60%?
If not charge the phone first.
Plug the charger. If you did not see any sign showing that you phone is charging, press and hold the power button for 10 sec and release it. You should see the phone charging image.
Let me know whether your phone has enough battery power left but showing the above mentioned problems.

Yes, the battery is fully charged. I have another S4 Active that I've swapped the batteries with, along with a spare official Samsung battery and charger. It doesn't matter which battery I use, the phone acts the same with any of the 3.

If you have enough battery power left but the phone was behaved like that, you might need to flash the firmware.
Are you in lollipop or kitkat? For the time being, the only firmware available for kit-kat and lollipop is NB1 firmware cooked by muniz_ri . You can get it from here.
You mentioned that you can go to download mode but the phone shut off when you press volume up to go to the download mode after the warning.
Try the 10 sec method. Go to the download mode (power+home+volume-down) but keep holding the power button for 10 sec even though you see the warning message appear. Then you press volume up to go the download mode. Try this way and let me know.

It was on Kitkat. I can press the volume up and get it to show the download android screen but it immediately shuts off. Holding the power button for 10 secs. and then the volume up didn't do anything. The phone shuts off after 1-2 secs. of doing anything.

That is strange. The same thing happened to me. But I avoided the phone shut down by 10 sec methods.
Just hold the power+home+volume down for 10 sec, even though the warning sign show up, and then let it go all of them. Plug the phone to the computer and then press the volume-down to go into download mode. It works for me. Not on the first try though.
Try doing that with batter charger plug in too.

Thanks for your help. I figured out whats wrong, its got a faulty power button. I took the phone apart, put it back together, and was able to get it to boot completely. The slightest touch of the power button causes it to reboot though, so I'm going to need to replace it.

Glad you found the problem. I was trouble shooting for the software error.
Yes, power bottom could give you a problem too. I use screen off app so I do not have to use power button to turn off the screen.
yesterday i instaleed latest version of pixel experience and magisk and connected my phone to the charger and slept over night in moring i saw that my phone was off i thought may be the charger was loose i checked and found out that my phonwe is not working no charge no led no twrp no fastboot no response while conneting it to the computer is there any way i can switch on the phone at least i triedto charge the phone but no good no response charged almost 8 hour no effect
Maybe it is in stuck in SOD (Sleep of Death)... Try holding down the power button for 30+ seconds, if that fails it is likely toast because if you can't get it to turn on there isn't much you can do.
EDIT: One other possibility, connect the USB port to a computer but before you connect it the phone, press and hold VOL DOWN and then connect the cable while you continue to hold that button, it may bring you into the fastboot menu after 5-10 seconds.
What was the version you installed?

June update
Hi,
I slept last night with ~40% in my OP6T. When I woke up, the phone wont start anymore. I am rooted with the latest Magisk, and latest stock rom.
When I press the power power button, it doesnt even show me the screen where I have the bootloader warning. I've tried pressing the power key alone for 15 seconds, power + up volume for 15 seconds , power key + down volume for 15 seconds, power key + both volume keys for 15 seconds but nothing happens.
I just cannot get my screen to start:crying::crying::crying:
I have also tried connecting my phone to the laptop, I get a "safely remove OP6T" notification in the task bar, but my phone inst identified in the storage..
If anyone could help me, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot

It's probably out of charge, happened to me and I just left it on charge for 15 minutes and then held the power button and it worked.

Hold pwr and up button for a couple of seconds.
So after 1000s of attempts, its started on its own (on the 1001th ) attempt when I held the vol up and pwr button. It wasnt a case of battery drain as I had only connected it to the system for 10 mins and the battery when it started was 53%.
Is there a way to find out how it tuned off ? some crash logs or something ?
Can an admin please close this thread ?
Yeah it seems like there's an issue with the phone loading up after it's went dead..and I've had that issue a few times where I had to play with it for an hour in order for it to finally load...I even knew it was dead and plugged it up to a charger and it would stay on the bootloader screen and I left it on the charger for an hour or so..and then held the <pwr><vol+> to shut it off and when I did all that I then powered it on and took the charging cable out and it still said it was low battery..so while on the unlocked bootloader screen it wasn't charging(weird)..so after fooling with it summore I finally got it to charge just random didn't do anything I hadn't previously done and all was good. But it seems like this only happens after it dies and I don't Kno if the unlocked bootloader is the issue or what but it's aggravating to have to fool with it for that long.
I think there is something wrong with your ROM.. Are you rooted? If I were you, I'd wipe the phone completely and install a new Rom, redoing the setup from scratch..
I have wiped and rooted with magisk and twrp recovery installed.. and I have zero issues in the current setup..now only when it has died did this seem to happen..oh I have wiped 3x because of bootloop and soft brick previously..so I don't think that is the solution (wipe and clean install)..just weird

I haven't tried this, but from what I've read, using the MSM tool is the only sure way to completely factory reset your phone.. Using anything else could leave remnants in the ROM causing problems..

For some reason my fastboot drivers are not working anymore, the MSM tool is not a option for me.
