If I'm understanding you correctly, the phone vibrates 7 times when you plug it into the phone. So what happens when you reboot holding power and volume down? What happens when you just reboot the phone? Please be more specific and give more details.

i try with power on + volume down. nothing happen only vibrate again for 7 times

remove the battery and insert 1-2 days, may help

I am having the same issue on stock software. I bought this used off craigslist a few weeks ago, I used it for a day to check it out and swapped to a Galaxy Nexus. I tried last week and it started doing the 7 vibration thing, so I ordered a new battery and no luck.

ok so your phone maybe briked on a slow task \
step 1 take out battery
step 2 put battery back in
step 3 put this file go this ling scroll down till u see attachment PD98img.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037474
step 4 then put it on the root of your sd card
step 5 hold down the volume and power at same time for about 20 minute till the white screen pop out then leave it there charging
till it ask u for update click volume up for yes and let it do its thing but ill take long procces
Hope this helped ^_^

mine does the same thing. it never goes to bootolader. always stays stuck on htc screen. vibrates like heck for a couple minutes. after awhile, the phone goes to the rom i flashed...i get temp access to it, then it keeps restarting. i took the sim card out and sometimes the phone is operable, then others it is not. i totally think i bricked my phone.
when i am able to get into the restart part(holding power down and restarting with bootloader or recovery) and all it does is restart over and over.

had the same problem.
hey there....
yesterday i had the same issue i was on FB (hehe) when the phone just froze.
i tried to reboot it and then got the 7 wonderful vibrations,
now i tried to reset it buy many ways and nothing seems to work. still black screen 7 vibrations and nothing more.
im really lost don't know what to do next i haven't change the phone rom or updated it and didn't install an app lately that could have caused this mess.
what are my options? yes of course i can go to a lab and try to fix it but im trying to keep it to the last resort.
thanks !

[Q] Infinity won't start, just vibrating indefinitely

Hi gurus,
Updated the OTA patch today from ASUS. worked fine but got discharged while my son was playing with it. charged it and then tried to start it. It just won't boot. Starts vibrating which will not stop. Nothing on the screen. Pressing on Power button for about 10 seconds will stop it for a moment but will start again to vibrate after a short pause.
Tried the manual reset button, same result. Finally, pressed the power and Volume up button for 10 seconds which has atleast made it stop vibrating but is still dead. Tried to restart and same behaviour.
Has anyone seen this on infinity before? Have had it for 9 months and never been a problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Maybe a HDMI connection might let you see whats happening if its related to the display not working.

I am having the same problem. it vibrates..stop for 1 sec..then vibrates again and that's all..always black screen!! i think the problem (in my case) is my screen + digitizer coz my computer can recognize it as storage!

Yes my problem is the screen! i bought a micro HDMI to HDMI cable and everything works like a charm! The screen brightness works but no image at all!
Screenshots:http://db.tt/aBg7IXKd

Tried to charge it fully but to no avail.
still keeps just vibrating.

I work with leicesteruk (small world and why is he not using CROMi-X!?) and I think this is hard bricked! Device will not power on other than it vibrates once then on the second vibrate that normally signifies boot loader load it jus continuously vibrates and does nothing else. No screen, nothing.
We have tried various volume held down options and nothing works including reset hole and letting the battery drain. It still charges but just goes into continuously vibrating with no screen.
The only thing it will accept is power down plus volume down stops the vibrating after 20 secs if held down.
I have advised to RMA.

wow, that's extremely hard luck right after an update.

Was your tablet rooted, and were you using OTA root keeper?

No it was completely stock. Just a regular OTA. Note the device died whilst in use after the OTA had been applied the day before.

Phone won't boot

Hey guys,
My phone shut off unexpectedly today and now won't turn back on. When I try to power it on I see the Google logo for a couple seconds and then it'll just shut off again. I tried holding the volume up/down buttons to access the bootloader, but right after I get to the screen it just restarts itself again.
Connecting to power (AC or USB) causes it to constantly reboot over and over, it just shows the Google logo for a couple seconds and then restarts again.
Any ideas on what I can do?

Provide more information for a starter - stock? unlocked bootloader? rooted? third party recovery? rom and if yes which?
If it's stock I'd RMA it.
If not what did you do immediately before the problem started?
try holding the power button for > 2 seconds which should turn it off completely, leave it on a wall charger for at least a couple of hours then turn it back on - I doubt it'll fix the problem but it's a simple thing to try...

Everything on it is stock, no ROM, not rooted. I had just taken it out of my pocket to check the time, put it back in my pocket and then felt it vibrate, took it back out to see it at the Google logo and haven't been able to get it started since. There was one or two times when it got past the Google logo and started to show the start up animation (the four colours bouncing around or whatever it is) but then it shut off again.
I tried holding the power button to completely turn it off, but plugging it into the wall charger just causes it to repeatedly attempt to boot like I mentioned earlier. I'll leave it for a while and hope for the best

Sounds like the mobo is bad. Most likely will have to rma it.

Maybe not. Sounds like a stuck power button to me.
OP does the phone just endlessly repeat this cycle? If so it's rebooting itself do to a stuck power button. One other users already reported similar issues and his power button was indeed stuck. Mash the power button hard for a minute to see if you can unstick it.

You got it!
Thanks so much, really wasn't looking forward to waiting for weeks while the RMA went through. The button didn't appear to be stuck - it was still clicky - but after mashing it for a minute it started up normally and appears to be fine now.

Did you flash any ROMs or anything previously?

brother the issue is gone, as mentioned "sticky power button" was causing it. read the thread before posting. btw thanks for effort anyway... haha
:laugh::silly:

Hi all. Sorry to reopen an old thread (but xda suggested I check here before making my own thread).
I think we have the exact same problem with a Nexus 5. Unfortunately, bashing the power button doesn't seem to be helping (and makes me feel slightly silly .
Anyone know how much effort it would be to take it apart to get to the part that's stuck? Any good instructions?
Thanks.

Weird, I have the same issue starting a few hours ago. I updated to the Oct 17 beta of Cataclysm then a hour later it happened. But was told it sounds like the power button issue.
Took it apart, tried to fix it. If plugged in I can get into the bootloader, but then it reboots again. I've tried tapping it on a hard surface, and it gets seems like it almost fixes it because it'll connect to my laptop but then reboots again.
Could it be the battery? It was fully charged but then died as I was deleting hundreds of photo's in Dropbox to move photo's over from my phone because it was full.

I too am running into this same issue. My screen cracked so I replaced the digitizer with some success. In the process I damaged the battery and needed to replace it. When I got the new battery and replaced it my phone is now unusable.
When unplugged: I turn on the phone and it's running the ANDROID animation then turns off.
When plugged in: I turn on the phone, the ANDROID animation runs then the phone restarts and continues the process over and over again.
I then flashed the phone with Marshmallow and the same thing happens. Except now that I flashed it I get the Android icon with the spinning gear. So; I flashed it back to 5.1.1, but the same result.
Could I have physically damaged something inside or is it a battery issue? Thanks for any insight.

[Q] Nexus 5 Firmware update problem

Hi all, I'm experiencing a problem with my nexus 5 at the moment.
I was using it until the battery got to 1%, then I turned off the screen and plugged it into the charger. But apparantly I was too late because the phone was turned off, so I turned it on.
After the google logo a firmware update screen appears. At the top it says Firmware Update, and below an USB-logo it says: "Do not unplug the USB connection until the progress is complete". Below that there's a progress bar, and below that there's a square/box with 'B1' in it.
I have no idea why my phone wants to update. I'm running 4.4.2 completely stock android, not rooted. No images of ROMs or stuff like that anywhere on my phone. It's still on 0%, and has been for the last 20 minutes. (at first I thought it might be waiting for a minimal battery charge to perform the update but you'd think it would be enough by now).
Does anyone know what this is or how to fix this?
I'll see if I can revive my old phone to make a picture of the screen

Try restarting the phone. The low battery might have caused the update screen to appear. The wall plug is not a USB connection.

I'm scared to do it because that screen specifically says not to do it. But I don't think I have a choice in the matter, because it's still stuck on that screen. I'll be reporting back with good news I hope.

Ok what I did is keep the phone plugged in, and held the power button for 5-10 seconds. It rebooted normally, so I can use my phone again.
Thanks for you help!

I wonder why that happened though. Did I accidentally hold a button while powering on the phone? Or just a random glitch..

I have done all that but it just gets stuck on the black background with Google on it.

My phone did the same thing, and it said keep connected to power so i unplugged it and then tried holding the power button but nothing happened. eventually my phone died again and now when i plug it in the little notification light is flashing red. what do i do?

The red flashing light is a dead battery. Recharge it.

Truble with My nexus..battery?

Hi all..i have a truble with My phone..i bought it as used..and i can't turn it back..
The problem is that My nexus, randomly, shut off and can't turn it on again ..it try to turn on and after 1/2 second (sometimes arrives to android logo) turn off again in "bootloop".. After 10 minutes of trying it, finally turn on again and does the " update application" process..
What could be the problem? (I ve noticed also that the battery ,that before that the phone turn off had 65%, after has 45%) ..
Thanks in advance and sorry for My bad english..

Plug your nexus 5 in to your charger. Does it constantly loop when on the charger? If so try to repeatedly press the power button on your phone. Do not hold it, just keep repeatedly pressing it while it is trying to boot. Does this get the phone any further in the booting process? If so, the cause of the problem could be a faulty power button.

The previous owner sent the phone in assistance (private assistence) that said him that was a power button issue and that they soldered it..

Try a simple factory reset but i think the issue with power button is come back. Bootloop and random power off is a sintom

Don't you think that is a battery problem?

I don't think so. Power button is the problem. Because inside under the button is like you still pressing the power button. That's the problem of your nexus 5. So you see power off and boot loop.

But if now i manually long press (like that the phone do with a faulty power button) the power button, without release it, the first thing it show me is the "turn off" option, after that (without releasing the button) phone turn off and starts a single boot loop and finally turn
off completly ( without any bootloop)..i think that could be the battery because during bootloop the phone reboots in differents moment and randomly..i don't know..i have to do some other tests.. Now i m using the phone since 3 hours without any reboot.. Tomorrow i LL try to do that dkconnor suggested me.. :crying:

up .. today any reboot..
but i think that it's really the power button ( i've disassembled the phone and there is any solder point..so the assistence didn't anything.. ) because yesterday one of the times during the bootloop i tried to press also volume down and it accessed in fastboot and after one second again reboot..
so, i think that if the problem is the battery the phone have to turn off without any reboot, right?
