I was getting touch screen issue recently, so I took my device apart, fixed the problem, and reassembled the device.
Touch screen is fixed, but when I was flashing RR N v5.8.2 ROM, I got stuck when "patching system image unconditionally", for 20 minutes.
OK, I'll just reboot the device.
And unfortunately, now it's hard bricked, the devices is stuck with that "unlock warning" stuff forever, no fastboot/adb, power + volume down gets me "unlock warning", can't be shutdown unless I pull the battery.
Now, is there any way I can boot into fastboot without pressing power+volume down? Not sure if I damaged my volume key or whatsoever.
Solved. I did damaged my my volume key, the FPC was broken, I got a new one for 3$, now it's fixed.

Ok so, I was going to flash CM 9 v1 on my device, and when i was in clockworkmod recovery I noticed that the power button wasn't working at all.
I took out the battery and put it back and then it reboot itself and got stuck on the unlocked padlock screen.
Then i managed to boot it by pressing vol up and down at the same time and putting the battery in when plugged on the computer with the usb cable. This is the only way i can boot it. And after it runs a while it crashes and reboot into the unlocked padlock again. And this over and over.
Then I tried to go to recovery to reflash with the soft sensitive buttons and the fastboot screen doesn't do anything at all. If I press vol up or down to move around it gets stuck.
Got it to work a while and reverted back to stock rom with rom manager to see if fastboot worked again but nothing happened.
I need help to fix this.
I try to go to download mode but it doesn't work either. ADB works tho
Any suggestion??
(sorry fot the bad english)
i actually had the exact same issue a few weeks ago
it was an issue with the power button itself since i got everything back to stock and the power button still wasnt working properly
i had to send it to samsung repair center
they fixed it for free and it turns out the issue was indeed the power button
thank you for your answer!
i will send it to samsung!
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. I then rebooted the device. Now it is stuck at the bootloader (white Google logo on black background) and I can't get it to do anything else. I've rebooted it a bunch of times including with the vol + and vol - buttons held down to no avail. I've also let the battery run out and then tried to boot it up again and the same thing happens. adb nor fastboot see the device and it doesn't show up in the logs on my machine (Mint 13) as coming online at any time.
Most of the times I reboot it with the power switch it reboots to the Google logo even without me letting go of the power button. Sometimes I can get it to fully power off but I haven't figured out what combination of vol keys and reboot does that.
Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!
You are not bricked if you can still get into the bootloader.
Download the factory image from here, and flash it with fastboot. If you don't know how to do that, read this thread.
I wish I could get fastboot to see it then I could definitively flash that img.
I can't get into the bootloader and can't get fastboot or adb to see it. It's stuck at the Google logo now and when i hold the power key it reboots back to the Google logo with the unlock logo at the bottom.
Thanks for the help
You've tried holding volume down+power for 10+ seconds? That should power off the device, then hold both vol up+down down and power up
Ya I've tried to hold vol + and power for 10+ seconds and it reboots back to the Google logo even if I don't off the power key. Same happens with all the other combinations of keys being held with the power button. I can't get it to turn off now unless I let the battery die
Press and hold power till screen goes black. Then quickly press power+volume down and HOLD.

Tried that and still stuck at the Google logo. I have to go to work for a couple hours and then will hack on it when I'm back. Hope I don't have to deal with Googles rma process seeing how disorganized the rest of that company is

No luck with any button combos but the vol + and power actually turned it off. All out of ideas over here. I'm thinking it really is bricked
I'm in the same spot. I can get it into recovery occasionally but once there it locks up after trying to flash or clear the cache.
I'm wondering if a contributing issue is CMR v6.0.0.6? I updated it from 6.0.0.4 that was running fine. But no fastboot or adb so that is doubtful.
This is frustrating and not a great start with this N7.
thank you

this worked. you have to be fast. as soon as screen goes black release power button then quickly, very quickly repress along with vol up and down.
You will still be able to get into the bootloader! Force kill the tablet by holding the power button for ages. Then hold volume up and volume down and the power button together, which will boot to fastboot.
It looks like a CWM bug as I feared. Anyone in the same boat try here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782932
Nothing has worked and I've literally tried everything that those three buttons can do. Thanks again for all the help guys. Had a great time trying to resurrect it but guess it's time for it to go back home
Just as I suspected. Google puts out buggy junk once again.
I just wanted to report a similarly event. I have a rooted, unlocked Nexus 7, with TWRP recovery. I have previously rebooted without issue. Tonight I booted into bootloader mode to check something and the hit power button to choose start. I got stuck on the boot logo. After finding this thread, I started with the simplest combination and held power button until screen went dark, then added volume down and once again in bootloader. This time choosing start led to a regular system boot. It's as if the device froze and needed a hard reboot.

I was attempting to boot into recovery and kept getting the 'Google' logo (I am unlocked/rooted with twrp recovery). I wasn't aware that one had to be plugged in via usb in order to *not* hang....
Any way around this?
Once I plugged it in and attempted to boot into recovery it worked fine.
I had a similar issue after using the Nexus Root Toolkit to flash to nakasi 4.2 with CWM recovery - just got stuck on the nexus boot screen, flashing in a loop for over 15 minutes.
I ended up powering down the device, holding power for about 5-10 seconds - then QUICKLY holding both the power and volume up+down keys, it then went into the fastboot screen.
After it was there, plugged it into my PC.
Now, this should work for you - assuming you have all the fastboot/usb driver stuff installed.
I extracted the contents of nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tgz into the same directory as the fastboot.exe provided by WugFresh with his Nexus Root Toolkit (google search or xda search for this if you dont have it, i dont think i can post links due to my low postcount) - typical filepath: C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data
By the files in there, I mean drilling down inside the tgz to where the image files were inside so that files like bootloader-grouper-4.13.img, image-nakasi-jop40c.zip etc were extracted into the directory and sitting alongside the fastboot.exe - NOT in a subfolder.
Once its all here, running flash-all.bat (this is provided by google in the nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tgz) from the command line or by double clicking on it from explorer should kick off the process. After about 2-3 minutes, it was complete, and my Nexus then booted up within about 3 minutes after that.
Also worth noting, device remained unlocked, but I lost root/root binary
Hi all,
I was really happy with Lineage OS 14.1 running on my Storm. Today, I decided to flash the latest nightly, just leaving me with a bricked phone.
What happens right now, is:
- the phone is stuck in a boot loop. I only see the Wileyfox logo screen with "powered by android", written on the bottom of the screen.
- occasionally, the screen becomes black and the device reboots, just to get stuck again.
- pressing vol+ and power, vol- and power makes the device reboot quicker (with or without usb attached), but it immediately gets stuck again.
- I can't even turn off the phone by holding power down for 30+ seconds -- the device keeps on rebooting over and over again
Can anybody tell me how to get out of here? Just turning of the phone would help in the first place ...
Thank you, best regards!

How did you flash it? I got this "update" via OTA and my phone became a soft-soft brick - everything loads normally but the touchscreen doesn't work at all.
In your case, I think, there is something wrong with bootloader (but how? in LOS updates they never touch this thing) or maybe the battery is totally discharged.
I've got 2 Storms and I've seen them stuck in endless bootloop when the battery was 0% and I tried to charge them with bad charger or low-quality cable. So maybe the battery drained while updating

I sideloaded the downloaded nightly. There were no error messages in TWRP log, and the battery was almost completely full.
What can be done with a wrecked bootloader? It seems I can't even get into fastboot.
(this is my real account, was unable to post out of tapatalk yesterday)
The only way is playing with vol+ and power buttons. I entered TWRP after almost 20 attempts... It's really difficult to enter fastboot or recovery via button combinations.
Flashing LOS via TWRP doesn't touch the bootloader. You can see the contents of LOS update zip-archive - there is no bootlader file, only system and kernel (boot.img). So please try using key combinations once again.
Also, constant bootloop occurs when the touchscreen is cracked, but that's not your case

Thank you very much for your feedback -- highly appreciated.
After some hours of trying, I still desperately get back to you. What exactly do you mean by "playing with vol+ and pwr buttons"? Holding them together infinitely? Pressing and releasing quickly? Holding one while pressing and releasing the other?
I still have not succeeded any further from the previous stage, unfortunately ;(

I can't understand exactly how to get into these modes, because I can enter them only after "playing" several times. I hold 2 keys together and then the phone vibrates and I have to release them immediately, and after that it enters fastboot or recovery. But not from the first time! Sometimes it reboots again and again.
Try "playing" and if there is no result - only service would help.
If your phone doesn't enter into fastboot or recovery it may mean two things. First - you press keys in wrong way, so "playing" would help. Second - bootloader is broken or some hardware problems (e.g. cracked touchscreen, broken pwr or volume key etc.)
I hope that's the first, and finally you will enter fastboot or recovery mode.
Also you may try plugging charger.
Entering bootloader :
Press togheter vol+ and power when you see wileyfox screen release power
Entering recovery:
Vol- and power same thing for release power....
If phone don't boot ( loop ) press and hold 30 sec or more power then press vol+ or -.
Try bootloader, booting twrp on ram then flash what you want.
Fastboot boot your_recovery.img, use twrp 3.0 or 3.1
Enjoy...

So basically my phone has discharged and after plugging it to charger, it turned on itself and freezed on this screen... I tried to go to fastboot and recovery and holding power button but nothing helped.
U have broken verity. Only fix is to run the tool
Problem is fixed, holding volume up and power button for couple of seconds worked.
Hello
I updated the phone to pie when it was released. But after the update i cant lock the phone with power button, Volume up key also not working anymore. Also if i press long press the power button to reboot it gets stuck in fastboot mode. Screen gets blank if i go to recovery. I had to reboot around 10 to 15 times to get back to the system. this is my fathers phone and i dont want to root it yet. Is this a soft brick or hardware related issue. all the buttons work (key combinations work to boot into fastboot and recovery.) volume up and power key becomes unusable only when i reboot back to the system.
Kindly help me what is the procedure flash which stock rom to get the phone back to normal.
