My phone's touch functionality works fine. But the screen goes black after a flickering of the current screen. It only turns on for a fraction of a second if I put into charge or press the power button.
Tried soft resets.
Could not access recovery or fastboot to wipe.
Adb is not enabled.
Please help?

If you don't have any data to lose then just do a manual reset..............
Turn off your phone.
1.If your phone is not responding, try a quick reset. Remove the back cover and battery, then insert the battery and install the back cover.
2.When your phone is off, press and hold both volume keys together, then press Power to turn on the phone.
3.When your phone shows the boot mode menu, press Volume Down to highlight “Recovery.”
Press Volume Up to start “Recovery.”
4.Your phone reboots, then shows a green robot on the screen.
Note: If you activate the wrong prompt or run into problems, you can start over by forcing a reboot.
When the green robot appears, press Volume Up and Volume Down together.
5.The recovery menu appears. Press the volume keys to scroll to the factory reset option, then press Power to activate it. Press the volume keys to scroll to the Yes confirmation, then press Power to confirm.
6.When the reset is complete, press Power to choose reboot from the recovery menu.
the recovery doesn't show any menu beside it only show Android Cartone sleeping with Red [!] Sign.... for a while and reboot into normal.
Is that because the main ROM is not properly flashed that many the recovery module fail?

Hi,
My tf300t got its screen cracked so touch screen is non functional.
I'm trying to turn it off so I can open the case, but it always reboots no matter what I try!
Tried long pressing the power button for 30 seconds but it always reboot after 8 seconds.
Any suggestions? I don't want to open it up while it's on .
Can I shut it down from fastboot mode?

I remember there was a manual Power off option in TWRP (idk if it is still there). Have you tried that?

I have the stock bootloader - it says
Code:
"Adroid cardhu-user bootloader (1.00 e) released by "WW_epad_10.4.2.9-20120809" A03
I'm inclined against flashing a bootloader (only as last resort).
I am able to get into fastboot and issue fastboot commands. will that help?
"fastboot reboot" only reboots..
by the way, the device is still locked (getvar returns "unlocked: no")..

How did you turn it off if the touchscreen wasn't working? By pressing the power button would cause it to reboot endlessly. If you don't have a dock or adapter to power off properly, one thing I did before was to click the reset button (through the hole below the SD card slot) and press the power button simultaneously, then keep holding the power button for 10 seconds after releasing the reset. It did turn off the tab completely. Failing that, just pop off the back cover and turn off the service switch. The cover is not connected to anything electronic so it's ok. That'd cut off the current to the tab. It can be done, just be careful.

I didn't turn it off, that's the problem.. I got it yesterday from a guy after his screen cracked.
he gave it to me turned on and I want to replace the screen, so the only thing I can use are the hard buttons.
I only have the power adapter + usb cable.
are you sure about that reset button thing?
EDIT: found info about the "service switch": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46159071&postcount=5
EDIT2: did it! thanks graphdarnell!!
now moving to step 2 - ordering a replacement digitizer..
So my power button has stopped working. It started by constantly turning the screen on and off, then bringing up the power menu again and again. I left it overnight to sort itself out. When I woke up, the phone had managed to reboot into safe mode, and then I tried to reboot back to normal. Now, the power button (and volume) is completely non-functional and the phone is stuck in (stock) system recovery.
Is there any other way to get the phone to reboot normally without use of the physical buttons?
I'd like to be able to do a more recent backup before I get the phone replaced. Thanks.
Have you tried pressing or holding the yellow Off button under the microSD/nanoSIM flap?

Yes. It would reboot to the same recovery screen.
The phone eventually booted normally. I think there was water in the power button, causing it to register button presses on its own and eventually not responding to the button at all. It must have dried over time because the button works fine now.
Then do a backup and do it quickly, 'cause you don't know what it's gonna do next...

Yup! All backed up and waiting for the replacement in the mail.
First of all I appreciate any and all help on this matter. My problem is simple yet the solution escapes me. My phone starts up fine works fine and there are no problems....until I wake it up from sleep. The phone itself comes on and I can tell that the screen wakes up, but there's no blacklight, just a very dark home screen. So far the only annoying thing i have to do is reset it and it works fine again....until it goes back to sleep. I guess my question is, is this an issue that can be resolved (software). Or is it unfixable without screen replacement (hardware).
You need to test a few things beforehand.
Does it only produce this issue if the screen times out, or by manually pressing the power key to turn the screen off, or both?
Does the screen appear dim when you wake it up via the power button, hard pressing the home button to wake, or using your fingerprint scanner to turn on and unlock your device or a combination of those listed?
I would try safe mode.
You can boot into safe mode by following the below instructions:
1. Power off your device in question
2. Press and hold the power button to turn on the phone
3. When the Samsung logo disappears, release the power key and press and hold the volume down key
4. Continue holding the volume down key until the phone has finished restarting
5. You should now be in safe mode and can verify by looking in the bottom left of the screen for text that states you're in safe mode
After you have successfully booted into safe mode you need to allow your screen to turn off manually, automatically, or both(whichever results in a dim screen when normally booted up) when testing the below steps.
Turn your screen on via the power button and see if the issue remains.
Turn your screen on via the hard press to wake home button (not sure if this is available from safe mode, but worth a try) and see if the issue remains.
Turn your screen on via the fingerprint sensor (not sure if this works from safe mode either) and see if the issue remains.
If all successfully turn on the screen with normal brightness then I would say it's more than likely NOT a hardware issue. If one or the other does not produce normal screen brightness then it's more than likely hardware. If all result in a dim screen then it could be either hardware or corrupt software.

The problem is reproduced irregardless of the method used to put the phone to sleep. I will give it a try in safe mode tonight. I also wanted to add that randomly the screen will power on normally but never on the first wake attempt.

It still reproduces the problem in safe mode. i tried to wake it with the power button, home buttonand the fingerprint sensor... also under forced sleep mode and letting it time out itself.

At this point, it's more than likely hardware but because it's intermittent you could try using Odin to flash firmware. I would advise you to look to the appropriate forum for instructions. And as always, if you have the ability then backup the data you wish to keep, do it prior to flashing the software.

Well I figured it out. there was damage to the sensor that determines how light or dark it is. If I cover the top part of the screen with my finger then wake the device, it comes on every time. I hope this helps other people out in the future.

Try this then:
Under display settings turn off "Block accidental touches"
See if that results in not having to block your sensor every time.
**Edit**
By the way, glad you figured it out.
Hi, I have a One Plus 8T that won't turn on, won't charge, won't get into recovery mode, the screen remains black, won't vibrate on changing ringing mode either and gets recognized as QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx when connected to the laptop. Phone was in my hand and in a perfectly good condition when it happened. I tried all the physical keys and their combinations many times. Is there any solution to this?

You're in EDL mode. Hold power button and volume up button until it reboots. Then see where you are. However, you may need to use this tool to flash back to stock - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180837/

one thing i want to add here is when phone is conected to a laptop and i press Vol Up + Power key, i hear a beep on laptop (may be it does the reboot) but screen remains black. I dont think the issue is with the disoplay.
Then you will need to use the msm tool. Your phone seems to boot into EDL mode just fine. Follow the instructions in that link.
