I just recieved my OPT in the mail today. I took it out of the box booted it up got up to the "insert sim card" screen and powered it off to charge. Used the supplied charger and cable plugged it in while phone was off, battery showed it was charging including little red led.
Came back to check a little while later, led was green, pressed the power button once to see the battery was fully charged, unplugged the phone.
Held the power button down, one plus logo boot screen comes on, then goes directly to recovery menu. Ive tried wiping cache, data, and format all data, i reboot and boots back into recovery.
Im thinking ill just fastboot the stock rom back on but very weird to have the happen to a brand new phone...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
traced the problem to the volume down key not working or internally messed up to where it thinks i have it pressed down all the time and all it wants to do is boot into recovery. One time i did get it to boot up and tried pressing volume down and it does nothing, volume up works though... RMA ticket has been opened.

By the coincidence, is your batt serial no beginning with BD? If so, look on the battery. Is it swollen a bit? If so - call samsung, they will replace battery free of charge.
If not, try to connect phone to charger, insert battery, go to recovery and make full wipe.

it might be a power button issue
ok, this may be tricky.
while keeping volume down and home - slice battery in. If phone would boot in download mode (even just for a while) - then it will be power button issue.
it boots up on download mode for seconds and then powered off again....
Im digging up this post because this is the same problem i had.
I ended up removing the power button all together, carefully popped it off the motherboard. The phone no longer boots for a couple secs and powers off again so i think the power button was the issue. Now i have the problem of powering on the phone. I tried booting into download mode (to have the reboot option) by holding volume down+home while plugging it in but nothing happens, all i get is the battery charging icon. Ive been into download mode before i removed the button, but like the OP, it would only be a second or 2 before rebooting. Am i doing the correct procedure for download mode? Perhaps my timing is off? Any suggestions?
At least i do get the battery charge and it stays until i unplug the phone, no more boot loop!

Ok so i managed to get the phone to power up without going into download mode using this method i found on youtube. No boot loop and fully powered up now, the only thing is that im stuck on the lock screen. My friend cant remember his pin so i cant get in, the only option left now is to boot into recovery and do a factory reset yes? Well, how can i do that without a power button? Any suggestions?
Hello,
First I've looked everywhere for the last three days on something about this and I can find nothing so I come to you in a new thread for help.
I have a Verizon Note 3
SM-N900VZKEVZW
I'm having an issue where if I take the battery out and put a new one in I need to plug the phone in before I can power it on. I was running Hyperdrive but I reverted back to stock.
Here is an example of the issue.
If I shut down the phone and don't remove the battery I can press the power button and it will power on just fine; however, if I shut down the phone to put in my second battery that is fully charged or just take out the original battery and put it back in the power button does nothing until the phone is plugged in. When I plug the phone it the battery icon will come on.... the screen will freeze with a snow screen and then go to the stock battery changing screen at which point I can use the power button to power on the phone.
Another weird thing is I cannot boot in to recovery with by holding the power button and down on the volume button if I do this the phone will just keep looping at the Samsung screen with a lock on it; however if I boot in to recovery through safe strap I can get there.
I've done a factory reset and reinstalled the rom and recovery and I still have this issue.
Attached Images are the snowy screen and the screen that will keep rebooting if I try to get to recovery with power and volume down. (now the snowy screen has changed to a battery screen superimposed with the safe strap screen it only shows up for a second before going to the battery charging screen)
Please someone help!
Second question what should I do if I need to send the phone back to samsung? Or should I just deal with the battery thing? Other than that the phone works fine.
Thank you.
Let me get this out of the way, I'm an idiot. There.
I didn't back up, wiped in recovery, my next rom flash failed. Nothing would work.
Okay so I download a toolkit, boot into fastboot (download mode or whatever) and do a factory stock reset.
Screen goes black. Phone is off. Won't power on. Won't boot into fastboot. Won't charge.
If I hold the power button for about 5 seconds the LED goes red for as long as I hold it.
Kept it on charger all night just in case. Now it blinks red when I hold the power button.
I'm at a loss. All I want is my internal storage. I have so much I need back.
Any advice?

it's not completely dead, it can be fixed... http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/final-fix-nexus-4-red-light-death-t2250454
Thanks, will try that. Also just ordered a new battery in case mine has just died.
But my biggest thing is I couldn't care less about the phone, if I do get it to work, I have no rom in my storage to flash except Rastakat which is what kept failing in the latest TWRP. If I use a toolkit to flash to stock, it's going to wipe my internal storage and I've lost everything anyway.
Wish I'd used a cloud service to keep everything backed up but I have a cap on my mobile data and my actual internet at home.
Anyway, for the time being it's still plugged up and the red light will come on and blink at certain intervals but then stay off mostly. From what I've gathered it's a conflict with battery and motherboard so hopefully I'm on the right track and can figure something out.

I have a galaxy s4 (i9500) and got it in used condition, a year ago. Never suspected a single problem in it.
Today I powered off my mobile for charging then after 25 minutes I took it off. I held the power button then I saw my boot logo(Where there is written Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500). That logo kept showing as usual for 2 seconds and screen went black and again that logo appeared for 2 seconds and screen gone black and again it appeared, so, I'm stuck in kinda loop not a bootlooop exactly(maybe because bootloop refers to being stuck on boot screen while in my case its boot logo). I then removed the battery and inserted it back after an hour and as soon as I inserted it back the mobile itself turned on as if I held power button but this time again I was stuck in that loop. Moreover when I tried going into download mode, I didn't even need to hold the power button along with the volume down and home, it itself proceeded to confirmation screen of odin mode. And after that confirmation screen appeared saying that whether I really want to boot into download mode, disappeared itself after like 3 or 4 seconds even though I didn't press any key. And in case I press vol up key confirming to boot to download mode, then it again takes me to that loop. I'm too much confused . I can't even flash the firmware as it won;t boot to download mode neither am I able to boot into recovery.
Now do u really think the problem might be the power button(Which is maybe stuck in the state of pressed).
Or else it can be the battery coz my battery is also just average not too good?
I also inserted the command( in build.prop file) for enabling nav. bar and the code was correct but I never rebooted after inserting that. this was the first time I rebooted after that.
SOrry for some bad English.
Do you have something like this? I'm now having problem with getting my phone back to work...

From what you say it seams like power button problem, try to start the phone and connect it to the charger. When it start take out the battery, it will be powered by charger and you will eliminate battery problem.
So I bricked my phone a little while ago. I was flashing the deodexed and when it rebooted back to the bootloader I got nothing. Doesnt respond to anything. Well I was about to send it in to essential so I was taking the screen protector off and all that when I thought I saw a essential logo burnt into the screen.... Turns out its the Essential boot screen just SUPER light almost like a ghost or burnt image...
I can reset the phone over and over, it never responds to anything, no charge light from plugging it in, never appears as a port on my computer or anything... But I can watch the logo disappear and reappear by holding the power button for 10+ seconds...
Options to try to get to recovery/bootloader?
I have tried every combo of power, power vol+, power vol-, power vol+-, while unplugged, plugged into wall and plugged into laptop.... Tried all options holding for just 10secs and tried each one holding for 2 full min each to make sure I went passed the 45sec reset...
Not sure what else I can do.
Any ideas?
