Hi Experts,
I got a nexus 5 that won't boot into recovery or download mode.
What can i do?
*I'm not sure if it has custom recovery or original.
When i try to boot with VOL-DOWN+POWER it shows google logo and then a constant red light on the home button. if i take my fingers off it will just power off.
When i try to boot with VOL-UP+POWER it shows google logo and then a flashing red light on the home button. if i take my fingers off it will just power off.

Sounds like the battery may be completely discharged. Put it on a charger for a few hours and try again.

My Nexus 5 randomly started to lock and unlock itself, repeatedly. The screen kept flashing on and off and then it rebooted, or tried to. It came up with the google logo and then turned off. If I press vol-down and power, it goes into fast boot but then automatically goes to the google logo as if I pressed the power button to select "Start". Any help is appreciated as my phone is now basically a paperweight.
Take it apart and replace the power button with a new one ?
So I use Adaway on my M8 running CM11 M9 (I think it's m9), and I just updated the host files, and when it said to reboot, I said okay. Now, it's stuck on a black screen that is actually the screen being on, it's just showing the color black. Right now the plan is for the phone to run out of battery, and hopefully I can boot into the phone after that. Can anyone recommend something else? Because I might be stuck in a boot loop with a black screen.
Hold power and volume up until phone shuts off, it will then turn on again. If you get in a boot loop, hold power and volume up u til the screen goes off then hold volume down when the screen goes on and you will be in hboot
It's boots to surface logo but no spinning wheel, I've tried a USB recovery from a few images I've downloaded and it want boot from the USB (hold vol down while holdin power)
So I've failed in that does anyone know of what I can do?
Also tried powering it on and off constantly
And vol up and power button
Still nothing!!
Bump. Anyone?
Power it off. Turn it on, when the Surface splash screen appears, turn it off.
Do that 3 times, on the 4th time let it boot, it might boot into recovery.
Just some minutes ago my S7 froze because of Focus Gallery App. I don't exactly know what it did but the phone did not respond any more.
So pressing the power button did not bring back the phone either. After searching for a bit I found a way to simulate a bettery disconnect by pressing Volume Down + Power Button.
The Phone came back up and displayed the initial boot logo. Also the blue LED is on. But nothing happens from here on. I do not come to the "Samsung" boot animation and the phone simply
does nothing. Retriying Volume Down + Power Button doesn't seem to help too. I tryed all button combinations but nothing brings the phone back.
I also cannot enter the recovery menu. So no chance to reset to default settings.
I am running a stock Android on the phone. Nothing was done by me. No custom ROM, no root, just plain Samsung Android.
Is there sill something I can do?
Edit: I just got into whats seems to be ODIN Mode??? Can I do something from here?
Oddly this happened to me last night although I may have inadvertently done it. But the only way I was able to get my phone functioning again was reflashing the OS to the phone.
How did you manage to get the phone into Odin mode? I'm having the same issue with the phone being totally unresponsive but the blue LED on.
if you can reboot your phone with the VOL Down/Power, when the screen goes black, quickly press and hold VOL Up, Home and Power. it should enter recovery. or hold Vol down, Home and Power to enter the download screen.
I have the S7 Edge (rooted, custom ROM) and it's running fine. My girlfriend's regular S7 is having the same issue though.
When she plugged it in to charge last night, she checked it a few minutes later at which point the phone had (started to) reboot. The blue notification LED was on and the screen had frozen at the 'SA' from the 'SAMSUNG' startup logo. Forced a reboot with down+power, resulting in just the blue LED (no logo this time). Phone was unresponsive (couldn't force a reboot again) so left the battery to drain overnight. The phone is completely dead today even after charging - no LED, no boot, no anything.
I'm not sure if she had the phone scheduled to perform an update overnight and it froze halfway through, but that would be my first guess. So far, no fix.
So after recharging my phone there is no cahrgin light, I cant turn it on I have tried to get into download mode it will react but it will not show up in odin screeen is still black. i just hit power up after it vibrate. If i do the recovery mode it will vibrate but still black screen same with fastboot. IS there any way to diagnose whats wrong is it the screen thats dead? samsung Switch will not connect btw. Edit** When i try to hold down both vol up and down plus powerkey I should enter download mode but it looks like my screeen is dead becouse if I use hte volum buttons i hear the volum sound going up and down. How can suddenly the screen just be black but its responsive . Tried to powe off using touch on black screen and it will power off. So is the digitalizer dead? Or would a flash with stock rom help if i manage to get into download mode?
