Hello,
The power button on my cappy broke and I now can't get my phone to turn back on. I have tried taking the phone apart and cleaning it, but it still won't turn on. Is there a program (Odin?) that I can use to power the phone on through the USB port?
Thanks!
Can you boot into recovery and hit reboot device? Otherwise, flashing something with Odin will indeed cause the device to reboot.
You can also pull the battery, hold the volume buttons and put on the USB cable. Once in download mode, you can use Heimdall or adb to reboot the phone.
make/purchase a download mode jig
plug in for 1sec and pull out, it will power on
If you get DL mode, you left it in too long
I do this regularly with my broken spare when I play rom swap.

Hi, I was flashing my phone with Odin and got a blue screen on my phone, then i took the battery off and on again, but now the phone does not even turn it on... Does any one have any idea, what can i do?
Thanks
Can you get into download mode
No, not even download mode... it does not turn it on at all...
Have you tried all the button combos to get into Download Mode. The one I remember is:
1. Remove battery, SIM, microSD (if you have one) from your phone
2. Wait at least 10 seconds with the phone in this state
3. Hold volume up/down, do not let go
4. While holding the volume keys, insert the battery
If the above worked, your phone should almost immediately be in Download Mode. If not, do some searching for the other variations of key combo/process to get into Download Mode.
You might also want to try a JIG. You can build/buy them, and it's something that will force the phone into Download Mode if at all possible still.
Rooted my phone, installed cwm and modded 3e recovery, everything seemd to work sofar, clickd to restet into boot mode? i think that was the next step and now im staring at the samsung screen for i cant tell you howlong. Usb dosnt recognize device cant reset it into boot by holding power and volume. Any ideas? sorry if this was covored somewhere but I searchd in the forum and im not reading countless threads in the infused post to see if they had maybe been covored, iv been poking around for an hour now im asking for help.
Start by pulling the battery and follow the instructions found here.
EDIT: If you need any help, I will be around all night.
Don't need to pull battery, I've been able to enter ODIN mode as follows:
Hold down VolUp+VolDn
Hold down power button for a while (10-15 sec)
Phone should reboot, release power button, keep holding VolUp+VolDn
You should be in downloader mode now.
Also some of the instructions for entering downloader mode were a bit funky, they said something like:
Pull battery
Insert USB cable
Hold VolUp+VolDn and then insert battery
In my case the following works:
Insert battery, do NOT touch Power
Hold VolUp+VolDn
While still holding them, insert the USB cable
You should wind up in downloader mode
Pretty much as long as you're able to enter downloader mode you're not bricked. I've been frozen at the SAMSUNG screen MANY times (kernel hackers get used to it...)
OK, here is a question that has me stumped...I can not get my infuse into download mode. I have tried holding volume + - together and inserting battery, volume + - while inserting usb cable. I have tried several apps from the play store that are supposed to boot the phone into download mode. No matter what I try the phone boots into recovery, never download mode. I am not pressing the power button. I have taken the phone appart cleaned and blown out where the power button is, it looks clean, I can hear a faint click when I press the power button, it doesn't appear to be stuck as I can use it to power on and off the phone.
I am running paranoid android 2.0 from Scott. The same thing happens on CM10 and slimbean. I don't remember having this problem on CM9-I'm not saying this is due to JB at all, so please don't go there.
I would like to go back to stock and reformat everything, but I can't get into download mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks

OK. I got the USB jig, it works, I got my infuse into download mode, but my mac won't recognize it. I've reinstalled kies, tried different usb cables and ports.
I have enabled android debugging enabled under dev options, but I don't see where to enable mass storage mode.
The infuse shows it's charging from my usb port.
Any ideas?
Hello.
My power button is broken. The only way I know to turn the phone on is removing the battery and connecting it quickly. I could get into the stock recovery pressing vol + and connecting to the charger but I need the power button to select any option, I installed TWRP recovery but I cannot use it, the button combination is different to get into (vol + & power button).
Is there any other way to turn on or use recovery when the phone is off?
Thanks
Fastbooting it from the computer is a solution..
Fastboot is disabled in android marshmallow. Now, how can we boot the phone ?
One last resort option is to send it to Alcatel. I had issues with my power button failing and they resolved it. (FTR I was still under warranty)
I had this problem. Eventually found a video for it on YouTube. I couldn't return my phone to Alcatel as I had dropped it in the toilet ? and then taken it apart to dry it out.
If its still under warranty I would return it to Alcatel. If not then the way to turn it on is a bit of a pain at first but quite easy when you've done it a few times. You do have to take the back off your phone.
If you are happy there is a reasonable amount of charge already in it then plug it in to a charger whilst holding the volume up button (or down button I forget which!) This should start the phone in the recovery mode.
Then unplug the phone.
Then very quickly disconnect and reconnect the battery.
Phone will turn on.
Put phone back together.
Keep battery charged!

I have had my OPO for about 4 years and am currently running Lineage 18.1 with no issues. However the Power button on the phone stopped working and will not do anything. I inadvertently put it in Fastboot and cannot get out of Fastboot and reboot to normal. I have tried adb to see if I could do a reboot there but it is not detecting any devices. Before this incident the phone was unlocked, in developer mode with usb debugging set. Is there some other sequence to try. I have tried vol down and plug in usb, and vol up and plug in usb, and held vol up and down and plug in usb but none have worked. Any suggestions please.
Update: I just got Fastboot on the PC to reboot the phone. Yea. The Power button is shot. It has been in a case for years and I hardly ever use the Power button anymore. Don't know why it has failed, no abuse, maybe lack of use. Thanks anyway.
If I take the button out, does anyone know if the inner switch could be pressed with something to turn it on and off. I assume there would be somethin like that although I have not been inside one of these before. If I ever lose power on the phone I will not be able to turn it back on without the power button/switch.
