help me please. my power button is stuck on. when i'm going to boot to fastboot, it keeps rebooting and stuck on google logo. the problem is i'm trying to lock the bootloader because i'm in indonesia so i need to lock it in order to get a warranty. is there a way to stop the rebooting so i can boot it into fastboot without any interruptions? i tried banging this thing to a floor, a table and tried pressing it but no luck. please help me, if i have no warranty i need to replace the entire board, and it costs a lot.
anyway, what the hell, LG? why is a button that fragile and important is really hard to fix?

just opened it, and find the mainboard. after that locate the power button. by using a cutter, loose the back metal on the button (there are 2 metal). after u loose it just put it back like the original. put all back together and plug in the charger. it should back to normal now.
Just flick the power button several times quite hard. Did the trick for me
Just install gravity screen.. On /off via proximity sensor..

Looking for a quick fix here as I can't go to the service centre and get a replacement until at least Tuesday, and I need my phone working before then. I'm hoping someone else has had the same problem and can help me out.
My Moto G froze and became unresponsive (while I was refreshing my Gmail inbox) and it would not accept any input. I held down the power button and the power menu opened, however when I tried to power it off, it wouldn't accept my touch input. So obviously the next course of action was to hold down the power button for 10 seconds to force a reboot. The Motorola logo appeared and the phone vibrated... then it did nothing.
I tried this a few times and still nothing happened. I am able to boot into the bootloader, but apart from that, the phone goes only so far into the boot cycle before the screen goes black and does nothing.
Motorola's website suggests that if the Moto G becomes unresponsive, and the regular 10 second reset doesn't work, you should hold the power button for 120 seconds and keep it plugged in to a charger. This didn't work either. As of right now, my phone is just sitting here on my desk with what I would call a 'black screen of death.' Help would be appreciated.
I cannot boot into recovery, I cannot access anything. The phone is stock, unrooted, and running KitKat 4.4.2 without any modifications whatsoever. It's about 5 months old now, so it's still covered by warranty and I don't want to void it.

Can you boot into bootloader mode and use adb command from a pc? If yes, maybe you can try to flash a stock recovery img file via your pc to phone.

Would that require unlocking my boot loader though? I don't want to void my warranty, especially considering I did nothing to the phone and it's currently unresponsive.
I am not sure - but my guess is that bootloader needs to be unlocked to install custom recovery to "recover" & backup userdata before flashing the entire original stock firmware; that's usually the first step we see in all those modding guide in different forums online.
How to get into safe mode

** I am unable to post outside url yet.**
I suppose you can also contact motorola support to see if they can help you recover your data before getting the phone fixed or replaced under their warranty program.
so today i had fixed my s4 from this rebooting problem.
i was using the phone like everyday then the phone turned off by it self.
when i remove the battery and put it again the phone starts by it self going to a boot loop.
so i went to the samsung center, they told me its a software problem and it need to be flashed by a "j-tag" (software device) and they dont have it.
so i was confused
i have figured out that i cant go to recovery and i can go to the download mode for few seconds BUT! without pressing the power key!
the service center ignored me and refused to fix it.
so my last hope is to fix it by my self, so i did this!
You Have Two Options!!!
1- Hit the phone with the ground softly several times (stupid but fixed my problem)
2- Go to the power button by removing the screws under the phone back cover and release the button (by your self or anyone can handle this) :fingers-crossed:

How can it be the same if he wasnt able to enter recovery.....
For me there was some issue with the power button getting pressed automatically. ..opening body loosened it..n fixed.. i also had another issue with sview black screen blinking..issue with the Magnetometer. .loosening the L1 screw fixed that. .may b tge button got magnetised somehow. .
i too had the same problem. i found it to be a defective power button as when i just pressed the volume and menu buttons i could get into recovery or download menu correspondingly without additionally clicking the power button.
Hi. I faced this issue as well and the best part it, the button isnt stuck. I've tried pressing and releasing it multiple times, dismantled and check if the button is stuck etc. However, the issue persist, and the exact same symptom which is; able to only go to download mode for a few seconds.
Need some advices here! Thanks!
Hello everyone! So I've had my phone (HTC One M8) rooted and custom recovery and rom installed for a little while now. The latest rom I've installed was Android Revolution HD 22.1. I also have twrp 2.8.1.0 installed. The other day my phone got wet and started to constantly reboot itself, wouldn't shut off and stay off, would never actually start. I put it in a cup of rice for 2 days, then proceeded to plug it in to charge it. Once charged enough I tried to turn it on. It only made it the HTC One logo screen and would vibrate every 10 seconds or so. I tried rebooting several times and no matter what I did with different button combinations I could not get it to load into bootloader. Eventually with restarting different ways and "mechanically stressing" the phone (short temper lol) I managed to get it to loading into the rom itself. From there I opened hasoons all in one toolkit to reboot directly into recovery and recovered to the stock rom. So the phone will now reboot with no problem into this rom. I haven't tried reflashing the ARHD 22.1 rom again because im afraid it'll break again. However, while in the stock rom everything work fines except for the volume up button which does nothing, except for while the screen is off, if I turn my phone to landscape the camera app will open without me even pressing the volume up button. If I reboot into bootloader via the quickboot app or hasoons toolkit, my volume down button with make the cursor go up, the volume up button does nothing, and the power button does nothing. The only thing I can do in bootloader is to hold power+volume up to get the phone to reboot. I also cannot get bootloader to load by holding volume down+power. So, After all that explaining, my main question would be, do you think that the buttons are shorting in a weird way because of water damage, or do you think my software got corrupted because of all the rebooting it did? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi,
You could try a clean flash of the rom.... If you're sure the wonky buttons won't interfere with the flash, because if they do... You'll be left with no OS on the device.
Water can affect many things, especially with power on while it was wet. This will be hard to solve, and could get costly. Usually with water damage, you fix or replace one thing, only to find now that something else doesn't work. Can turn into a real money pit.
You're issue isn't so bad, but my usual advice for worse cases are save your money for a new device, because you may never get your device fully working and spend a lot of money trying to fix it.
Ah, I just saw you already asked for help in your device section. Good. ?
Then this thread can be closed, as we're here to help navigate the site, not support.
Thank you.
Hello
I'm having problem with my Nexus 5 .
It started when I wanted to replace the battery. I have been replacing it in another nexus 5, done it gently, with plastic tools. And that's what happened - constant boot loop. Only thing that appear are battery charging image and white Google text, restart and over and over... nothing more (android colorful text/logo) doesn't appear.
Firstly I've read that it might be a problem with a power button, that it's stuck inside and making these constant loops. I tried to gently make a taps and flicks on the phone but it wasn't helpful. I accessed motherboard, took it off and checked the button, it seemed fine. But I took it to a mobile service place, and they replaced the button. But that didn't help.
I can't power it on when it's not connected to the charger or PC. It doesn't even start looping when not connected via cable to anything. On the bootloader screen I can go up and down using volume keys, but when i try to access "Recovery menu" it turns off and start looping. Even trying to use "power off" option makes it loop.
So I flashed it using factory image from google: 6.0.1 (M4B30Z, Dec 2016) (hammerhead-m4b30z-factory-625c027b).
I did it manually, on bootloader screen, entering all these fastboot commands. one by one. Everything seemed fine, all flashed with success. Already was happy! But after rebooting, it's still bootlooping
I installed TWRP recovery img to it, (successfully), and tried to access recovery menu, but also started looping.
I don't know what to do anymore. I've read so many threads and I think everywhere problem disappeared after successful flashing. I tried also this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/nexus-5-stuck-boot-loop-lollipop-t3098632 But after flashing to 4.4.4 firmware, it was bootlooping..
Since it doesn't even react to power button on both batteries, is there some bigger hardware problem with a motherboard? A battery connector socket on motherboard is broken or something?

Have you tried putting the original battery back in it? Does it not correctly only when plugged in to a charger cable? Idk how but it seems either something bad happened to your emmc or there's something not plugged in correctly to the motherboard and something may have happened to whatever piece(s) that is. I'd just take everything out and put it back together, I had to do that when I replaced my screen, it's a pain in the ass but it worked again. Hopefully I could help you, or even give u a clue as to what it is
Try flashing 4.4.2 or an older stock ROM.

I did it now. On both batteries it doesn't even power on. Only on a cable plugged it it starts bootlooping, when disconnecting, it powers off.
I checked all the connectors and sockets on mainboard, especially the one connecting battery and they doesn't seem anyhow broken (but I'm not any tech specialist so..)

I used now 4.4 (KRT16M). No result, still boot looping
Out-of-the blue my phone rebooted while doing nothing (no new ROM or anything) and got into a bootloop. If I try to enter recovery, it will only show TWRP splash but after 0.5 second, it will reboot automatically. Same for fastboot, I do see the fastboot logo, but again after 0.5 second it will reboot. After some time, the battery ran out, and also the charging screen when plugging the phone in while switched off shows bootloop: 0.5 second of battery screen and bootloops there as well.
I tried MiFlash, aiming to start the flashing very quickly once I enter fastboot, but although it starts uploading stuff (so it does make a connection), it again crashes after 0.5 second again.
There are no Xiaomi service centers in my country and the phone is out-of-warranty. I still would love to revive it, but am out of ideas on how to achieve this if the bootloop seems to be so extremely persistent.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Hey, I have the exact same issue. Did you ever find a solution about it? Boot looping every few seconds and no fast boot or recovery.
Just in case this can help someone, seems like there was a bad contact on the power button leaving it pressed? I blew some compressed air on the power button opening and it stopped rebooting.
Thanks for the tip! After two months collecting dust (and me taking over my sister in law's mix2s) I took it out, blowed out at the power button and it came to life again!

Hello there,
Did you opened the case and then you blew compressed air?
I have the same issue. Did your problem looked like THIS?
Thanks.

My problem looked exactly like this!
I did not even open the case, just blew air around power button. Now a few weeks later, the phone still works fine. Maybe I blew the stuff deeper into the phone doing it like this? Anyway, as long as it doesn't come back, I'm happy. And if it would come back, there is still the option of opening it.
I tried pushing compressed air without opening the phone but still facing the same issue. Anyone tried opening and succeeded by cleaning the power button or solved this by another method?
