Hello,
I tried to install LineageOS 16.0 by following the instructions carefully
Unfortunately, when the phone is restarted, it will block for several minutes (more than 20 minutes) on the startup screen.
So I tried to reboot it, but I couldn't.
Here are the different manipulations I've tried:
- Press the POWER button for a long time (more than 10 seconds, more than 20 seconds, more than one minute).
- Press the POWER and VOLUME UP buttons for a long time (more than 10 seconds, more than 20 seconds, more than one minute).
- Press and hold the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons (more than 10 seconds, more than 20 seconds, more than one minute).
- Press and hold down the POWER, VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons for a long time (more than 10 seconds, more than 20 seconds, more than one minute).
None of these manipulations worked.
Has anyone else encountered the same problem?
Thank you,
Sincerely

Hello all,
My mother got an a500 about seven months ago and the other day she put it to charge and the next day it wouldn't turn on at all, just a black screen. When the charger is plugged in, the power button glows white. Take it off charge and the light goes out and that's all it will do.
I have tried searching through multiple forums and I have tried all the solutions I have found. I tried pressing the reset button near the usb plug, I tried a hard reset by holding the power and volume + buttons multiple ways, i.e. I held them both for thirty seconds, held the vol button and pressed power for three seconds and about every other iteration I could find. Nothing happened not even a vibration like from what I've read it is supposed to do. I downloaded the update.acer.zip file and put it on an sd card and tried flashing it by holding the power and vol - buttons, still nothing.
The tab has not been moded in any way, however, God only knows what apps my mother way have downloaded to it...
I am at my wits end and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a noob so it wouldn't surprise me if I am not doing the flashing right or if I have the wrong files, all the links I found on the forums were non functional and I had to download it from filecorp.com.
Thanks in advance!

The white light when plugged to the charger just indicates it's fully charged.
Test 1. Press and hold the PWR button for 7 seconds, release, wait a couple seconds to see if it responds, then press and hold for another 7 seconds. See if it responds.This is to check if the tab is in Sleep of Death (SOD)
Test 2. Using a paper clip, press and hold the pinhole reset (near USB) and then press and hold PWR. After 4 seconds release PWR, 1 second later release pinhole. See if is vibrates and goes into APX mode, (tab should vibrate once with a black screen and white PWR button) if it does, press and hold PWR only for a few seconds. Wait a couple seconds, then PWR on tab by holding PWR about 6 or 7 seconds.
Test 2 is just to see if the tab responds to anything,
If you can't get any response from the above, then it's best to turn it in for repair.

@Moscow Desire: he pressed the reset button already so it is probably not SoD. Unless SoD makes reset button unresponsive too.
My tab does not vibrate when entering APX mode at all. Only the white power button LED turns on and the screen stays off.
@Core645: try this at first
- disconnect charger so the LED turns off
- hold power button for about 5 seconds
If the power button LED turns white and nothing else is happening then your tab is stuck in APX mode. You can confirm this by connecting micro USB cable from your PC. If you have windows it'll ask for drivers for Nvidia Download Mode or something like that.
Then check what Moscow Desire suggests with the reset button. I only ask you do my check at first because by holding reset you would achieve the same result and you wouldn't know if it is stuck in APX or you just forced it to APX by holding reset button.
I did a search and nothing was answered other than to try the whole "power off device via bootloader and BAM problem solved"...which doesn't work for me. I also have some issues not discussed. It seemed easier to just start a new thread.
So my wife let my N7 completely die. So she goes to charge it and it won't charge. She tries another cable and those don't work either. So here is what happens, and what I've tried so far. Also, I am rooted running CM10.1 I believe.
1- push the power button:
Up in the top left corner i get the text "show low low battery icon!" device turns off after about 3 seconds.
2- plug in charger:
When I do this, the little battery charging this comes on and the battery fills 3 times then the screen goes off (about 10 seconds)
3- hold power button for 30 seconds
if the charger is plugged in-> it brings up the battery w/lighting bolt, then says Google, then shows Cyanogen mod boot animation, then loads up my home screen, then instantly powers off because of no battery (0%). then starts all over and will repeat indefinitely (given that i continue to hold the power button down.)
charger not plugged in-> shows battery icon, says Google, then CM10 boot animation, then loads home-screen, then powers off, repeat indefinitely
4-if i take out charger after putting charger in:
it will still show the battery charging sequence for the ~10 seconds even though no charger is in
5- with charger in, pressing power and volume down:
takes me to boot-loader with the android laying on its back with its torso open. it says information in bottom left corner. it says start up in the top right by the power button, then has an up/down arrow by corresponding volume keys. Pressing volume keys does nothing. pressing power does nothing. I can hold the power button and it will restart, says Google, play CM boot animation, load home screen then power off.
6-without charger, pressing power and volume down:
see object 5
7- press power while charger connected.
Tablet loads with the whole Google->boot animation-> home-screen. while on the home screen, device starts powering off (0%) battery. while this is happening I can press the power button again to bring up the power menu. I can power off or restart:
a) power off: turns off device. nothing changes
b) restart-> boot-loader: restarts into boot-loader. see item 5
c) restart->recovery: tablet restarts, but then just goes to a black screen and then turns off. (sometimes it will also do a "normal" restart and load back to home-screen and what not)
d) restart->restart: restarts tablet normally back to where it will turn off immediately.
It does all of these things consistently. I am not sure what exactly I should do to try and fix this. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
If you're here at XDA, it means you flashed a ROM or two (or 10... 20... 1434240 )
If you've flashed any ROM, you probably encountered SOD's before.
You probably took out your battery and put it back in, in order to restart the phone.
But, recently I found out that you could just press and hold
Power Button + Volume Up Button
to restart the phone! (hard coded reset )
So as the title said, it won't prevent any SOD, but will sure make them feel less painful!!
hi,
i usally just press my power button for a few seconds and it reboots as well - i dont know if there is any difference if you press volume up as well.
best regards, dv
Correct procedure is: Home button + power button.
No, dervaganund is right. You can just hold your power button for a couple of seconds to shut down your phone, or hold it longer for about 8 seconds to reboot your phone. No need for volume or home buttons
My wife woke up this morning to an unresponsive phone. It's been on the charger all night.
The screen is off, and the led blinks blue about every five seconds.
power+volume keys has no effect - neither power + vol down nor the standard recovery- or download mode combinations, even holding down for half a minute or more.
The phone hasn't even been flashed - it's still on the original ROM.
Never seen this on any Galaxy device before, I'm completely clueless.
Have you seen this before? Any ideas on how to force it to power down?
Thanks!
force restart is power button and volume down for 10 sec if that's not helping you have a broken phone.
Thanks. As I wrote, force reboot didn't work.
But it seems I was wrong - it did work, but I had to hold the vol down and power buttons pressed for over a minute!
So problem solved, for now.
Hi I had my oneplus 6t for 3 days and It's unlocked and rooted it was running fine until it runs out of battery and died and when I plugged it in and charge it the phone got stuck on the unlock warning screen now it doesn't turn off or on I tried the following:
hold the power button for 30 sec
hold the power button and volume down button for 30 sec
hold the power button and volume up and down for 30 sec ( this got the screen to blink only)
I plugged the phone to my mac and tried these command ( fastboot devices) (adb devices) nothing shows up on the cmd

Unplug the phone, hold the power button.
It will eventually reboot.
If not hold power and volume down.
There is a known problem after rooting, don't turn the device off and plug it in.
Unlock warning screen stuck "Reboot" fix.
Mine did the same thing the other day and after all the research found out it's Volume UP +Power press for as long as possible, for me it rebooted in 15 seconds. But I'd advice holding it as long as you feel vibrate and reboot. Tried more than few times for mine works Everytime. Don't plug it in while it's off and turn it on to prevent it from getting stuck again.
