I've had a lot of tablets doings stuff like this, my company uses them as "thin clients" so we mod them heavily. Try this:
1, Do a battery pull
2. Power on the phone, keep holding the power button
3. Listen closely to any kind of pop / click (caused by phone being switched off, this creates a power spike sometimes leaking onto speaker)
4. Connect to pc via usb
5. See if there's ANY activity on usb (in windows via device management)
6. Try to get into fastboot / restore RUU
Because of a modified kernel or rom the display driver might have gone pear shaped, this makes devices appear bricked.
Hope this helps, good luck

[Q] Entering Recovery Mode WITHOUT the Home Button

Hi All,
I'm currently repairing an S5 - G900F and have become a little stuck.
My home button does not work, any suggestions on how to enter the recovery menu without it?
I purchased this mobile from Gumtree, the seller thought it had completely given up the ghost..
I have no access to any functions on the device and am completely locked out. The device starts up fine however does not accept my fingerprint scan as it has the sellers credentials on, I do not have the alternative password.
I try booting into recovery (Vol Up + Menu + Power) however it just goes straight to the normal booting image and starts up
Much love, thanks, Si.

The only other ways I know of are to use an app like quickboot, need to have root though. And if USB debugging is turned on and you have adb set up you can use adb reboot recovery. Maybe someone else has a suggestion though.

I'd love to be able to use an app, however I'm locked out of the phone.
And there lies my problem! Locked out, no home button functionality...

Use ADB if you have android sdk installed
Go to the sdk\platform-tools folder, hold the shift key on your PC and right click the mouse button then select Open Command Prompt Here
Plug in the phone, you need to have adb debugging enabled in Developer Options, then in the CMD window type adb reboot recovery press the return key
The phone will reboot into recovery mode

Exactly the route I went down, I tried without enabling USB debugging with no luck and since I'm locked out I can't turn it on, here lies my biggest problem! :banghead:

Sorry thought it was just your home button that wasn't working can you not get into the phone at all.

Have you tried opening it and seeing if the Home button is a moderately easy fix?

Hey Detection, Yeah I have, here's the scenario:
I bought the phone from Gumtree, it was in terrible condition, I've replaced the USB port as this was the reason the seller wanted rid of it, he believed it had broken completely so for £30 I decided to buy it just in case it was fixable. Once I changed the USB port I found it charged, the LCD was next so I found a bargain on eBay for an OEM screen and changed that, decided to replace the mid chassis and rear cover as well, I also replaced the front camera module and rear camera lens. It looks mint now however it boots with his old setup credentials (including fingerprint lock) which I can't bypass!!
The install of the new LCD went smoothly, I took all of the protective plastic strips from the electrical circuits and one from the home button. It will read my fingerprint scan and tells me it's not matched and just locks me out. When I turn the phone off, hold down vol up, home button and power I can't access the boot menu.. :beer:

Just to clarify, you're not holding down both the volume up and volume down along with home and power?
For download mode, it's volume down, home and power,
For recovery, it's volume up, home and power

Literally Volume Up, Menu and Power. I've tried a number of variants with no luck. I'm beginning to think I have a defective LCD to be honest as I can't get into download mode either. I thought it strange that the menu button can read my fingerprint scan however I think there are two separate sensors for both pressing and scanning.
I don't really want to remove the LCD now I've fitted it but I may have to! I can't see any other option

You can completely reset the phone using Samsung Kies, run Kies and go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Installation then follow the on screen instructions
This procedure wipes all the data from the phone and installs the latest firmware version.
Edit :- Just though that this might require you to manually enter recovery mode, if it does then this wont help.

Assuming your doing it the correct way.. Place your finger on he home key, then volume down, (don't press yet) then find the power key.. Press all 3 at the same time, once the screen lights up, let go of the power button..

M,
connect your tab to your pc and run
adb reboot recovery
if that works, ONLY perform a wipe cache function
and then reboot
There are numerous tutorials on XDA for setting up adb.
It is possible to render your device inoperable by having too many background processe running.
if you can get it rebooted consider removing some of the more "expensive" apps or find an auto start auto run killer that works for you.

this will sound goofy, but, make yourself comfortable and hold down just the power button for as long as you can.
and make sure you actually pressing it , some times fingernails get in the way and the button doesn't actually get pressed.
you are trying to get it to cycle on and off, if you can hold the button down for ten minutes then do it.

I've seen a few people with this problem for the Tab S. From what I heard it caused by the Tab being locked up and not being able to turn on or boot even with full charged battery.
So the two options/solutions I have seen are
1.wait a week or two until it drains and press power or charge it after that time and see if it does something(may not always work since it takes ages in this case)
2. Take apart the Tab and unplug and plug back in the battery connector (very dangerous if you don't know what your doing)
3. Take it to samsung and say you were updating through kies and it did this
Just don't charge it as I am hoping the Tab needs the battery drained.

can't enter into fastboot

Hello i have recently tried to return my phone from cyanogenmod into the stock rom using this thread: "https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guide-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110" and my phone got stuck in the process while making the command "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img". And now my device is stuck on boot loop showing the cyanogenmod loading screen.
Anyway now i found a way to get to stock but for that i need to get my device into fastboot. THE PROBLEM IS that my device can't get now into fastboot! i have tried using adb commands but the adb doesn't recognize the device. I have tried fastboot commands but again it doesn't recognize the device. I also tried button combinations, but it didn't work.
Until the incidence i have used to press the power button+ vol down keys to get into fastboot mode, but now it doesn't work. I suspect that it doesn't work since in order to get into fastboot with the button combination i need to first get the device turned off. But when i connect my device to the charger it shows the battery charging screen and the device is stuck on that screen even if it has disconnected from the charger, and it will keep on that screen until the battery has depleted. I have tried shutting it down using the power button but then my phone gets into a loop with the cyanogenmod loading screen, and even if i turn it off it restarts instead.
p.s I have used to think that my fastboot was deleted but on an other thread i have been told that as long as i see the cyanogenmod loading screen of the OS that means i have a boot-loader.
Please help!
I want to get into Fastboot on my Moto Pure.
Thanks a lot
Eden.

Power down 1st
Try volume down & power key together. That will get you into fastboot directly.
Oops just seen that, my bad, I wont respond anymore.

I think @edenah is saying it just gets stuck at the loading screen. If the battery discharges all the way and the device is plugged in, the battery symbol shows and after the charger is unplugged, the battery charging doesn't go away until the battery dies again or the power button is pressed (which leaves us right back to where we started)

Try this:
Hold power button for 10-20 sek, when screen will turn off hold only vol-(at bootloop screen).
You should flash stock without "oem" commands.
Find how to update bootloader​.

It recognizes it as portable usb device.
And well. I have bought the device in the us but i live outside of the US. so its bit problematic to return it now. Some help could do the trick!
I found SP flash tool and i believe it would do the trick. But i need to get the scatter loading file of the moto pure, but i can't find it anywhere, maybe anyone got the idea how to get that?

Well i have found a way to get the device charged while the screen is off!
If i connect it to my computer while pressing the power button and the vol down button and keep pressing it, the device stays turned off!
Now i'm trying to play with it, to turn the bootloader. so far the classical power and vol combo doesn't work.

I am stuck. No button combination works. I suspect that the device isn't really off but the display is just closed. As even to open up the device takes a reallly long press on the power button.

if it got interrupted while flashing bootloader, you're pretty much not going to be able to do anything.
motorola service center is likely the only place that can fix it.

Lost cause? No, probably not... Do you know anyone in the US you trust well enough to receive the phone from repair and ship it to you where ever you are? I believe that is all you need. The US service center cannot ship outside of North America (maybe US), but they can receive packages from anywhere. If you had a US contact that could receive the device and forward it on to you it might be worth it to get it fixed if it is still under warranty, if it isn't, then it might not be worth fixing. Lots of things to consider here.

I tried every method like volume up down and connect to pc , all button click +connect to pc releasing the power button. While pressing all button it boots to the logo and turns off even after connecting to the pc device is a205f. Its just boot to the logo and turn off.

To go to download mode
Normal method
1. Turn off phone
2. Hold down both volume keys
3. Plug in computer
Bootlooping
1. Plug in to computer
2. Hold down both volume keys
For a difficult phone
1. Connect usb to computer but not to phone
2. Hold down all 3 keys
3. When it buzzes release power and quickly plug in usb to phone.
It might take a few times to get it right.
If it's REALLY BAD
1. Wait for the battery to completely run down and use normal method.

Thanks for writing this method. I see it has been working for many others with some tweaks.
I have been following your method for past hour now but cannot seem to quite get it.
As soon as the phone vibrates, I release the power key, and plug in the cable connected to my PC, while still holding other 2 keys.
It should go to bootloader mode, but after Samsung logo, a screen shows up as attached. I have tried almost every combination after that screen. Any idea what to do next. OR maybe the screen should never show up.
Thank you for reading.
Edit: Fixed using this thread.​
Held down three buttons till the device vibrated and Samsung logo showed up.
Kept holding three buttons until the screen blinked once to show the Samsung logo again. it is very small blink, look out for it.
Then released the power button only and plugged in the cable connected to PC.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for reading.
Edit: Fixed using this thread.​
Held down three buttons till the device vibrated and Samsung logo showed up.
Kept holding three buttons until the screen blinked once to show the Samsung logo again. it is very small blink, look out for it.
Then released the power button only and plugged in the cable connected to PC.
Hope this helps.

Yes. Thank you for your awesome guides!
I was looking for pixel experience roms. I guess I will stay away from custom ROMs for a while after this experience .

Try restarting odin and then unplug the usb cable and plug back in.

It is scary for a while, though after I experienced the same, I was able to flash the DerpFest Rom and now the phone is extremely snappy. And I got unlimited GPhotos working, which was the main reason for me to get a custom rom .

To go to download mode
Normal method
1. Turn off phone
2. Hold down both volume keys
3. Plug in computer
Bootlooping
1. Plug in to computer
2. Hold down both volume keys
For a difficult phone
1. Connect usb to computer but not to phone
2. Hold down all 3 keys
3. When it buzzes release power and quickly plug in usb to phone.
It might take a few times to get it right.
If it's REALLY BAD
1. Wait for the battery to completely run down and use normal method.
