Remove charger and let the phone battery die, might take a long time depending on how much it was charged
Try connecting the white MicroUSB > USB adapter that came with the phone to something power hungry to drain it quicker
Power off you device and then wait 10 seconds. After waiting press and hold the Volume Up, Home, and Power buttons at the same time
After the phone vibrates, let go of the Power button, while still holding the other two buttons until Android System Recovery screen appears.
Using the "Volume Down" button, highlight "wipe cache partition" and press the Power button to select it.
After the cache partition is cleared, the Galaxy S7 will reboot automatically. This worked for me ans I hope this will help

Run the battery out, once the phone is off it might get out of whatever loop it is stuck in
Then connect charger and power on
Any background info? ROMs flashed? Shady apps newly installed? Rooted?

Red LED should not show when charger is not connected though
Press power button plus volume up and down hold for 5 to 10 sec it will restart ur phone same thing happen with on s6 but not on s7.
I once had to press vol up and down, power and home (that's all buttons) at the same time for ten seconds for the S7 to reboot as it was stuck and seemingly dead. No led on at the time though. But I have disabled the leds in the settings anyway.
UPDATE!
The battery discharged completely(red led was off),first i tried to put it in download mode and IT WORKED!!! But the phone wouldn't turn on because the battery was 0%.I charged it and now it works fine :| I hope this was something software related and not hardware and i hope this will never happen again.Thx for the help guys!

Sounded like it just got stuck, and because you can't take the battery out you have to wait for discharge :good:

Yup ?
Same problem
I have the same issue... Tried to charge my phone with 15% battery and after a few hours it was 8%. Tried to reboot, charge with the phone turned off but nothing was happening ( not charging, not booting up. tried buttons combinations as well ). The led is not showing up on mine because i disabled it from the settings so i'm not sure if it's charging or not. Took the phone to an authorized service on friday so next week i'll be getting a response from them. By the way, the phone is only one week old :crying:

hi guys,
2 days ago I got a nexus 5 loved it until today I was playing a game (asphalt 8) and it just turned it self off don't know why just did now all im getting is a flashing red light I was on holiday with the phone could the plane have done something to it anyway guys please help me
thanks
Prime
No, the plane didn't do anything to the phone.
Did the battery die? Did you stick the phone on a charger after it turned off?
Best guess is that it's overheated to the thermal shutdown limit.
Leave it a while then try powering it back on

na, when you hit the safety shutdown temp, all it does is shut down, you can boot it right after. ive reached it many times(on purpose), it works.
what the op is describing sounds like the rlod on the nexus 4(red light of death). it happens when the phone thinks it went below 0%. on the n4 there are two solutions, one works sometimes, the other all the time. the one that works sometimes is leave it on the charger for several hours, then try to boot into the bootloader, then shut off the phone from there and keep charging. the method that works 100% is to remove the back cover, disconnect the battery, then reconnect it. this is a hard reset for the battery, and works 100% of the time on the nexus 4.

You may want to give this procedure a try, its copied directly from Google's product support page for the Nexus 7.
Make sure there isn’t any dust or lint in the power port.
Using the original power adapter and USB cable, plug your Nexus 7 into a functioning power outlet. Nexus 7 has specific power requirements, and the USB cable and power adapter that are included are designed to meet those requirements.
Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the tablet and the power adapter.
After 1 minute, check to see if a battery icon appears on the screen.
If the battery icon appears, press & hold the Power button for 15 to 30 seconds to see if the device turns on.
If the battery icon doesn't appear, try accessing the Android bootloader menu:
Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds until you see an Android robot and the word Start on the screen.
Press the Volume down button until Power off is highlighted. Press the Power button to select that option.
Disconnect the charger and reconnect it within 10 seconds. A battery icon should appear on your screen.
Once the battery icon appears on the screen, allow your tablet to charge for at least 1 hour before turning it back on.

I got a new one thanks for all your help
I just had a red blinking light and no charge indicator situation, as well. Nothing seemed to work: plugged it in for 20 minutes, unplugged it for 20 minutes, plugged it back in...and after another hour on the charger I finally noticed the blinking red light had gone away, and hitting power brought up the charging indicator as normal. Booted right up and has been fine since.
My Nexus 5 just started doing this. I was in the middle of playing a game while my phone was on the charger (Brave Frontier) and suddenly the screen went dead and I had the red flashing light. I'm guessing I was using the juice faster than the charger could fill it so I killed it. I couldn't get the battery indicator to come back but as I was typing this the red light finally stopped flashing and the phone rebooted.
This happened to my N5 today. I was on a Hangouts video chat while plugged in from wall charger and I noticed the battery was actually draining rather than charging. So I figured hangouts was discharging the battery faster than the charging. Eventually it went to 0% and stayed that way for a while and suddenly the screen went off and the LED started blinking red. Followed the steps posted here, plugged in, left for a while and the blinking stops and phone boots up.
Never Hangout-ing with low charge ever! D:
Hello,
Last time i saw something on my screen was my battery that was almost empty. Now when i want to charge my battery i can't see annything on my screen.
I only see a red charging led light left top of my phone.
I tried several tricks like power button and the sound buttons up and down combinations. even the yellow little button near my simcard.
I could get the 3 vibrations but i still see nothing and it won't turn on?
I Even try with the sony pc companion but it won't recognise my phone even with the volume down button,
How can i Solve this problem ?
3 vibration mean you're turning off you phone. When you do that, just plug in and let the phone charging. It'll take a while, when your phone show battery percentage just press and hold the power button again. It might work

It didn't work, i let my phone charge the whole night.
i think there's something with the connection of my battery and my motherboard of the phone.
how can i test it? could use the magnet charge to boot the phone up?

Coming from the S5, what are the implications of not being able to remove battery to reboot when phone gets stuck while flashing ROMs etc. What is the solution now with s6/s7?
I'm wondering about this, too. I suppose flashing with the battery almost empty & plugged into a low powered charger while flashing would allow for the battery to fully drain after unplugging it? Every phone I've owned had removable battery, so I don't know what to expect.
Holding the power+volume down simulates a battery pull
Holding down the power button for 10 seconds should shut it off too.

I do NOT suggest this at ALL! A dead battery while firmware up/downgrading can be quite problematic, to say the least.

This generally doesn't work with the newer Samsung devices, like S6/Note 5. But volume down and power button does every time as someone already mentioned.
Volume down+power like others have mentioned. Works every time. I found that at times I had to hold the home button as well.

Not if the phone is already powered up it won't. That's as if it's off when you hit that combination.

need your help please.
my j7 prime is totally bricked, i mean, no recovery, no download mode even if press the 3 buttons combo for 5 or 10 minutes.
last thing i do was flash enigma 4.0 and it works but with the system ui fail (flash the screen over and over) so i restart a couple of times and 3rd of 4th time, the phone simply never boot again. screen black, no sound on the pc when i connect, not even a black screen.... totally bricked.
need your help please.
After so many restarts maybe your battery is flat? Maybe let it charge for a 2-3 hours before retrying?
Gonna try.
I already connected the phone to the power but less than 10 minutes because last time battery was on 60%.
Thanks for your answer... is a ray of light.

That doesn't mean it can't reboot.
It may seem like it is dead and has no power if the device has crashed.
POWER + VOL DOWN will hard reset the device.

hi, is there anybody to find the solution? my device is the same. what should i do?
Last night, I charge my phone because I notice that it was in 8% so plug it in to charge. An hour later, I check the phone if it was fully charge. I use my fingerprint to unlock but it is not recognizing it so I press the button to wake it but it is not waking up. I tried pressing for much longer to see if it wake or turn on but it is not. I tried pressing the Volume Down + Power to see if I can soft reset but that does not work as well. Plug it in the PC to see if it recognize it but it is not. I left it charging the whole night come morning when I woke and tried everything again but still won't turn on.
What could be causing this?

Try, press Power + Volume Up + Volume Down. You should enter in the Download mode. Press the Volum UP button. Now release the button. Now press Power + Volume Down and wait until the logo appears. The system should be boot.
