My device turned off and I can't turn it back on. Tried holding volume button but nothing. However if I put it on charge it vibrates shows the black screen with google on an then switches off and repeats without me pressing anything. If I hold volume down it goes to fast boot but quicky reboots before i can do anything.

Seeing that it is trying to boot when plugged into charger, I am guessing a battery issue. Try If u could Keep it turned off while connected to charger and let it charge for an hour. Then try turning it on. Hope it works after that
I've had this before. Leave it alone for like an hour being off. Then just hold the power button down. Just keep holding and it eventually comes back to life

I am using Virtuous Butterfly with the kernel that came with the ROM. I was trying to check my Whatsapp when i realised it wont reload, i tried to turn off wifi and it also wont turn off so I decided to restart the phone by pressing the restart button. I went to take a shower and came back with the thing at the boot screen. I tried the hold down power and volume down trick but it just wont restart this time!
I tried to use the command "adb reboot bootloader" and nothing happened, I unplugged the cable and it is still stuck on the screen. When I press the power button, the screen will turn off and when I press it again, it will turn on, just like standby mode. I am downloading the RUU now and I will try to flash it, hope that works! If not I will just wait for the battery to die and try to charge it and boot it up again.
Anyone knows how to fix this? Cuz the power and volume down thing just wont work and the phone doesnt have a removable battery
Stay push on the power button instead it restart (with holding the low volume button), the leds will blink and it will boot on bootloader.

I had a similar experience with my first One X (International) slept in the afternoon and woke up an hour later for it to be stuck at HTC welcome screen, at first I could enter bootloader, but no RUU available at the time for recovery, it eventually wouldn't even start after charging to full, just black screen....
I was told my motherboard was bad....
Anyway I hope its not the same for you, try charging to green light and turn on. If you can get to bootloader try reinstalling RUU if possible...
Now the phone wont even start after the battery died No LED when charging no response when pushing power button. Only response is when I hold power and down, the buttons would blink. Is it doomed?
stay your phone on charge for 1 hour and stay push on the power button (it should start after the blinking)

Thank you! It saved my phone! Its now booting properly and I can go to fastboot and recovery without any problems, I wonder what happened though.
I am glad to see it worked.
You know what to do if it happens again now.

Hello,
Hopefully I'm in the right place for posting something that seems to be this simple. The start of my problem is that the tablet will not stay off. When I try to shut it down, it shuts down normally, but then it starts to display the battery icons like it is plugged in and charging, but it is not connected to power. I can leave it in sleep mode and the charging thing will not happen, but turning it off displays the power charging screen and it further drains the battery. I figured something is screwy with the system so I would try to reset it to factory defaults. Now I have the other problem...
So I am trying to restore to factory defaults and I know to do this I have to start from off and hold down the up volume and the power button for a few seconds and as soon as the tablet starts to turn on release the power button but not the volume up button, and it should get me into the recovery/download screen. Unfortunately that is not working. I hold down the Volume up button and briefly hold the power button (3 or 4 sec or so) and I see the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 startup screen and let go of the power button (still holding the Volume up button). Next I see the spinning blue circle around the Samsung logo and the tablet reboots. I can release the volume up button at any time after that and the results are the same, it just reboots. It's like it isn't seeing the volume button.
I have tried using the volume Down button instead of the volume up button but that too is just like I am not pushing any volume button at all. Once the tablet is on, the volume buttons function normally, so the switches are good.
Since I got this tablet used could someone have loaded something onto it preventing it from being rebooted into recovery/download mode? Maybe some custom firmware or something. I'm at a loss as to where to go next. Since I can't boot into recovery/download mode I can't get into Odin.
Any help is appreciated.
Rick
Hi. The tablet isn't rooted, is it? Can you try to boot it into download or recovery with the "quick boot" app from google play?
I don't think it is rooted, but I can't tell for sure since I can't connect to the Google play store. I tried downloading using the web browser, but my battery dies before if finished. I'll try swapping batteries and see what I can figure out. Thanks for the idea.
Rick
No, the device is not rooted. it also is not charging and I had a heck of a time getting it to connect to the play store. I think I need to try and reload the OS, but without being able to get into ODIN, or reboot into recovery, I'm not sure how to proceed. any suggestions?
When the battery thing appears do the power- volume up thing and hold it until the gtab logo appears.
I've tried that, and it just boots up as if I wasn't holding the volume button at all. Once the tab is booted, the volume buttons work as normal. I've even tried putting a different power/Volume/IR unit in (from a working tab with a broken screen) and that didn't make a difference.
I left the tablet all weekend and it just keeps showing that it is charging when not plugged in. By Monday the battery was 100% dead. It won't even charge. If I replace the battery with a battery from a working unit I'b back in the same place where I can't get it to boot to Recovery/download.
Not really sure what happened, but I left my tablet alone for about 5 days. Had to plug it in to charge it back up obviously. The next day turned it on, and all I get is it vibrates once, than just vibrates infinitely screen is not turning on I think. I tried the reset button, recovery mode nothing happens just goes straight back to vibrating. It seems I can enter APX mode, since it vibrates once and than stops my computer sees it but cant find device software to install for it, and shows up on devices as "APX" unidentified.
I even popped it open, pulled the power connector for the board and backup battery let it sit for a day; plugged it back in and still same issue as before. I bought it 9 months ago in December only real issue before this, is that it froze a few times but went away on its on after a reset.

You can give this a shot...:fingers-crossed: you need to hold the power button + volume up for about 10 seconds. You will feel the first vibration and keep holding both buttons for another few seconds then you will feel the second vibration. After the second vibration, you need to release both buttons as the same time then wait for a few seconds after that. You can try to power it up and see if it works.. Please report back and good luck.. :fingers-crossed:

I'll try that, I just recently left on the blank apx mode, to let the battey die completely. Now Im charging it again to see if that worked if not i'll try your idea.
Ok, my phone was working just fine and then it randomly shut down on me and then booted up to the Samsung logo screen. The phone would flash the logo for a few seconds, go black, and then does it again. I've pulled the battery out and once I put the battery back in, the phone automatically turns back on without me having to hold down the power button or anything. I can't seem to be able to enter download mode or be able to reset it either. When I plug it into my computer it does display the battery icon charging which stops the blinking but thats it. Can someone help?

Could be your power button...manual issue...you know like it's stuck down. Go on YouTube they have a dismantling video on cleaning inside of phone buttons etc. Did it myself not hard at all
So, I am on the Stock U11 ROM unrooted and on Android 7.1.1.
The phone was charging by my side, on my desk.
It reached 100%, but I did not unplug it.
I had the keep screen on while charging setting, turned on.
After about 30 minutes it turned off. I noticed the green notification light (fully charged indication) had turned off.
And when I checked, the phone had turned off. By itself.
Now I am trying to turn it on, nothing happens.
I try to hold the power button (for ~30 seconds) to force a reboot, nothing happens.
Can anyone help me. It is under warranty though. So, I will contact HTC about this. But I wanted to check if there are others that faced this same problem.
Thanks
Try power button and volume down

I tried that, no good.
I tried Vol Up + Vol Down + Power too. No good.
