One day I went to use my tablet after a long time not using it. It was on the stock OS. And it stops at the Asus screen with the spinning circle I know sometimes this might take awhile so I let it sit for 24 hours and it still is there. I tried cold boot and reset to default and also the recovery image. With the recovery image I get a dead droid with a red ! above him. When I plug it into my computer I hear my computer detect it but I can't access it.
Guessing the OS is corrupted. Bring it back to stock again using easyflasher. You will lose all data by doing this.
You need to be in apx mode to use easyflasher. Press power and volume up for a few seconds and connect to PC. Your tablet should be recognized however the screen will stay black. Then you can use easyflasher. Good luck! Also, try to never allow the battery to go completely flat. If you will not be using it for a while power off.

it is not letting me go into apx mode. When I try turning it off it restarts and goes to the boot screen and freezes there. Is the recovery image on the SD card? I can get to the recovery so I might just put the stock zip on it and try it.
I just tried updating it and I keep getting the same dead droid and it keeps rebooting when I try to power it off so I cant enter apx
Try holding POWER and VOL UP and it should enter APX even if it isn't off first.
No matter what I try and how many times I try when I push the power button it just restarts. if I hold the Power and Volume up it restarts and sticks at the Asus screen. In the Device Manager for a description for the tablet it says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
I had that error and it was a bad USB cable. My cable still worked with the stock charger, just not for USB (MTP/APX/ADB)
I do have 2 cables and last time I used then both did work so I know that is not a part of my problem.
You won't see anything in APX mode and may think the device is powered off. So connect it to your computer first, then try to go in APX. You should hear the computer detect the device.

I know how to get into apx mode. I have used it several times before but it will not let me. No matter what I try it keeps rebooting.

Does it still reboot when you try entering APX mode if the USB cable is disconnected from the tablet ?

yes it reboots if it is hooked to the computer or all by itself. If I try to enter apx by itself or hooked to the computer it still reboots.
If I can't get into apx does that mean that I have a brick?

Possibly, or your power / volume buttons aren't working properly / getting stuck pressed in
Might be worth taking it apart and disconnecting the battery for a while / checking buttons are working without the plastic bezel over the top of them
Check no cables have come loose causing weird behaviour

I opened it up cleaned the buttons unplugged the battery and looked for loose cables. Plugged the battery back in and rechecked for loose cables. I tried going into APX and that is a no go. I have not reassembled the unit back together yet.
So what should I do next?
I got it fixed!
I unplugged the battery plugged it back in, did a cold boot then enter apx mode

Great!
Must have been some weird bug in memory that was being kept alive by the battery
Hello GUYS,
I have a problem: I Bought a Oneplus One few months ago with a broken LCD. Yesterday I fixed the phone but during the fix I broke the volume buttons flex cable (a really really small cut on the cable). So that means the volume buttons are not working anymore. Also when I booted the phone up I saw that there is a password on it.
I want to reset the phone, but I cant go in recovery as the phones volume buttons are not working anymore. Also USB Debugging is not on, so I cant boot into recovery via adb. Also the phone is stock and not rooted. I can't turn USB Debugging on as there is a password.
So basically the phone is useless, and my question is: IS there any way to reset the phone??

Do you have Android Device Manager on your OPO? If you do you can wipe your data from http://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
Hey all, need a hand. My Shield TV seems to be bricked. When I turned it on last night there was a red and green ball animation playing and the console wouldn't respond to any input from the controller or my Harmony remote. I should clarify a bit, the animation was actually frozen. Anyway, I unplugged the console for a while and now it won't do anything. There's no video output from the console. I've tried 3 different TV's and 3 different HDMI cables. I was going to try and reflash it back to factory, but I can't get the laptop to recognize the console. It finds my android phone just fine and ADB works great on it. The green light comes on when I plug it in and the power button seems to at least turn the light on and off. It does show up in the device manager on the laptop when its on, but as an unknown device type called APX. I downloaded the drivers from NVidia which then shows it as Android ADB Interface, but ADB still won't see it. I've also tried plugging it, waiting 2 seconds then holding down the power button for 5 to get it into Fastboot mode, but all it does it turn the console off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
connect the console to your pc. unplug the dc. > plug the dc > touch power for ~3 sec.
after that download factory image from nvidia website. and flash it on shield console.
https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source
flashed wrong rom on Nvidia Shield 2015 16GB -- stuck in APX mode -- unable to access fastboot.
Please help?
Gang I have searched this incessantly since my wife dropped and broke display of her S7 [plain, non-edge], busting the display so it is invisible/black under any circumstance, and numb - not responsive to touch. Otherwise it is perfectly healthy! it tries to receive calls, notifies audibly, charges correctly and is great at rebooting which is the problem.
I need to put this in recovery mode and start trying to either root it or fish files out etc.
Everything I've read says that Vol - and Pwr Button are the ticket to offing the system but it ain't so. I personally use S7 and mine's healthy. I've tried it "every which way" with Vol- & Pwr, 5 seconds, 7 seconds , 3 seconds, hold Vol- after releasing Pwr, etc etc, but it will either do nothing at all or reboot.
Suggestions?
Edit: I did find a 'sure' way to do something other than reboot: Download mode. Works everytime. I have not found a way to go from 'Download' mode to something useful like full-control but with your help there must be a way. Since I'm navigating blind, my choices are either one-press of Vol+ or one Vol-. Simply holding Pwr only reboots again to normal operation

No display. That's the whole point
My fault. Only saw that it wasn't responding to touch.
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.
