Hey guys!
When I turn off my M8 by holding the power button then selecting "power off" the phone turns off fine but when I power it back on, it gets stuck at the verizon splash screen. I don't get the usual vibrate or screen dimming, it just hangs and hangs and hangs. I've learned that when I press vol up and power together the phone shuts off like it should then when I press the power button, the phone boots up normal and everything is fine. I'm rooted, S-off, running stock 605.2 with TWRP recovery. Also fast boot is unchecked. Any thoughts?? It's not really a problem now but if it can be fixed, I'd love to nip it in the butt before it could potentially be a problem. Thanks for your help!!
IDK what's the problem, but with S-off, TWRP installed - why are you running the stock rom????
Make a nandroid and then flash CleanROM which is totally stock - only CLEANED up and much, much better.
If the problem persists you may have a hardware issue, but you could either use QuickBoot from the Pay Store or flash the advanced power menu and see if that helps.

Please help if you can, would really appreciate, dont know how to unbick my totally F$$$$### Nexus S Phone.
Even in recovery/fastboot mode on my Nexus S (Vol up+power), I cannot get my system to recognize the device....in fact, even in Windows, I am not able to get the system to recognize my device in Recovery mode/Fastboot mode....the only way it will recognize the device is if it is turned on the normal way, and hangs on the "Google unlocked icon" screen.
Some background info:
My power button recently stopped working...I thought it had to do with the fact that I updated NexusTools (was running a CyberGR rom...cant remember the name...had V4 Ultimate in it (downloaded from Rom Manager)).
So what I did was download/install (from the same developer) their hybrid ics rom....that did not brick it...but it also did not fix the power button...so after not liking the new rom, and the fact that it didnt fix my power button, I reflashed to the original rom I had installed (wiped everything, including doing a factory reset), and it just hung on "Google unlocked icon"
Now my phone does the following:
- First of all, the only way to power the device up is to plug it in (it automatically turns on and tries to boot without me pressing the non-functional power button)
- If I let it try to boot, it infinity hangs on the Google unlocked icon screen
- If I boot into recovery (by holding vol up button and plugging the phone into a power source), it hangs on the recovery screen...meaning the power button, as well as the volume buttons, as well as any buttons are non responsive.
- If I boot into recovery, the device doesnt even register on my system....
What am I doing wrong? What can I do to try and fix this?
I would truly appreciate if anyone reading this has some insights for me.
THANKS!!

yes, sounds like a dead power button(i have one myself).
try going back into your recovery, do a full data wipe(factory reset), then reflash the rom(and gapps). if still nothing, redownload the rom and try again. in your recovery, there is an usb option. use it to transfer your newly downloaded rom from your computer to phone.
Once I am in recovery mode it "freezes" though...as in not even the volume buttons work...they worked fine before, and even work to get into recovery mode...but once there they no longer work...nor does connecting the device in recovery mode to my laptop....so im kind of at a loss, as I cant even use Fastboot/adb to wipe/push anything on the Nexus S through my laptop

im guessing that your using cwm recovery?
give your phone a few smacks on the back near the power button, your phone thinks its being pressed in.
yes, it definitely thinks it is being pressed in...thats for sure...and makes sense...ill try that haha!
Yes latest CWM Recovery...5.0.2 or something like that...just updated that before phone died...
Weird...so i "smacked" the phone a bit...when I do it in recovery mode, it reboots the phone into recovery....so it definitely thinks its being pressed down constantly...but I have found no way to make it "un-pressed"...only briefly by smacking it...

in twrp recovery, theres an option to not use the power button to select(thats what im using), is there a similar option in the newer cwm recovery? tr\y pressing the soft buttons). also, see if sticking a fingernail in between the power button helps, to pull out the button a bit.
After continuingto smack it...as well as "pulling" on the power button, I am not able to use volume buttons and power buttons within recovery...flashing a new rom now...will let you know if that fixes it...otherwise I will try unbickable in ubuntu again and see if that fixes it thanks for the pro-tip of smacking it, haha!
My power button decides to become unresponsive.
So I tried to unroot my phone and bring it back to a stock image and when I go into download mode, 2 seconds later, it turns off. :crying:
I try another method by using mobile odin to see if that helps. Tried to flash the stock image and it tried to reboot to Recovery mode. Nothing. It stays in a black screen after the samsung galaxy s3 logo. After pulling the battery, it tries to reboot to recovery again and still, a black screen. The only way to stop it from booting to recovery is to set it back to download mode. I hold the power button and it restarts. ( The power button seems to work when I try to go to recovery, download, power on.
I am running Cleanrom 6.0 R2.
I am in deep [email protected]#!. I do not want to go to verizon and notice my phone is rooted and I can't fix it without a huge bill.
Please help if possible
Hi
I have been helping a friend repair their phone after it got water damaged
THe battery has been replaced and the phone boots and can go into Android
I have since Unlocked the bootloader
Installed TWRP
Rooted it
Installed a Cusom Rom
And installed a Custom Kernel with no issue.
So In my eyes this Phone is 100% working
The Problem i am stuck with is that whenever the phone is turned on it goes straight into the Bootloader screen and the Option bit on the top (Start, Recovery, Reboot BootLoader and Power off)
Constantly scrolls through each option as though the volume key is being pressed
if i press the power button as each option appears the phone will boot into the option i have chosen
While in Android all the buttons work correctly.
Vol up and Down and the power either going to sleep or bringing up the power menu.
Any ideas would be a great help
Probably HW related, but not sure

after 3 years did u find any solution. exactly same issue happen today :crying:
Try updating to the latest bootloader. But I assume the buttons get stuck sometimes. Try smacking the buttons s a couple of times. Hope that works.
I flashed francor 58 through the franco updater on top of mahdi rom 6/70. When I got boot loops I reflashed r57 (had previously worked) and when it came up I no longer had working volume rocker and power buttons. If I hold down power the device DOES power off. I tried flashing other roms as well as stock and the problem persists.
I did an e2fsck on data and a factory reset with the google image and I still have the problem. The power button also fails to activate the screen in recovery. But it allows me to select and enter recovery from the bootloader.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you ever find what the problem was? I'm having the same issue.
Help, same here...
I flashed yesterday latest LaboDJ's Linaro (62v2) over an older version and this morning my power and volume buttons aren't responding at all.
I flashed back system.img and boot.img from latest ota.zip but the problem persists.
Buttons are working fine in bootloader...
Did you guys try other kernel? I never heard this problem before. Try to clean flash any rom and see if it solves.
No luck, even flashed the whole L factory image...
as soon as my screen goes off, my only solution to bring it back alive is to keep power pressed 15s and let it reboot. Proof that the button press is somewhat registered in hardware I guess

Holding down the power button for 10-15 seconds is hard-coded to be a battery pull emulation, not affected by ROM nor kernel.
Did you try running the flash-all.bat? (backup to a PC first)
Do sensors work well?
ok, I'm not 100% sure how but got my buttons back
What I last did before they start working again was to boot into bootloader then recovery which was still default (open Robot with red triangle).
I kept volume up while pressing power as I've read on some post (hard reset?) and the phone rebooted to android with both volume and control buttons working.
Did I reset something extra or is it pure coincidence? Guess time will tell
Edit: PROBLEM SOLVED! However I'll keep this up just in case anyone runs into a similar issue, I'll go ahead and quote the post that brought my tablet to life. As simple as it may be, it helped!

You can't really hold them together sometimes, I don't know why.
Hold volume down, press power and release, while holding volume down. Should go into bootloader then.

Okay, so in case I'm missing something, I'll keep it quick and say my tablet (WiFI version) wont boot to the system, and no button combo will boot it into the bootloader. It goes straight to the nvidia screen no matter what, and won't get past the boot animation.
In case that doesn't cover it, and more info is needed, I'll give the complete rundown of all that happened.
I just got my tablet a few days ago, however I immedietly unlocked the bootloader, and rooted it, and was fine with that for a while. Eventually I got sick of Lollipop due to lack of support for some Xposed modules and other apps that didn't support 5.0. So I decided to boot into recovery and flash THIS CarbonROM. But it didn't boot past the CarbonROM logo, so I forced a shutdown and booted into recovery (vol down + power) and figured I had to flash the KitKat OTA, then the ROM. So I flashed THIS OTA onto my tablet in CWM, then after booting I booted back into CWM and flashed CarbonROM. It booted just fine. I then went into ES File Explorer and deleted the system apps I didn't want (calender, the stock launcher, etc.) and it worked fine. I then booted back into CWM to clear cache and Dalvik Cache, to clean up any app data that might have been left behind. After booting it stayed on the "Android is upgrading" screen for almost 20 minutes. So I decided to hard reboot it. After doing that, I'm where I am now. The tablet won't boot past the CarbonROM logo, and although I can manually power it down, no matter what I do, I can't boot it into bootloader. I have gotten to the bootloader from a powered off state plenty of times before, in fact it's my preferred method of doing so. But now it skips straight to the Nvidia screen, followed by the CarbonROM screen, and never boots.
Also, I had just flashed the ROM, and had never enabled adb debugging.
Any possible solution would be greatly appreciated, as like I said I just bought the tablet days ago.
Try connecting it to your pc, boot it up, and try running "adb reboot revovery" after it's been running for a bit

I seem to get a "error: device offline" message when I try that.
I have used adb and fastboot before this issue so I know my drivers and adb files are just fine :/
Edit: When I unplug the usb from the tablet it makes the low battery noise. I think it's booted to the system but stuck at the CarbonROM logo for some reason. I did delete the stock launcher without installing a new one...
Edit: Since I had just flashed the ROM, I had not yet gone into developer options and enabled adb debugging. I had only done it before I flashed the ROM.
