Hey there.
I recently bought a OnePlus 7 Pro that was locked to T-Mobile second hand. I went to go and attempt to unlock it using this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/how-to-convert-tmobile-op7-to-t3935947
I went to go and do the step where you hold both the volume buttons when plugging it in but nothing happened (probably shouldn't have done that because MSM showed that there was no connection although it was there in file explorer). I noticed that nothing had happened and when I tried to turn on the phone, nothing would happen.
I have tried turning it on with the power + volume up/volume down button to see if it would respond but nothing would happen. When plugging it into the computer, the computer made a sound as if something had connected.
I would really like to get my Oneplus 7 Pro back
Thank you for your help in advance and I will try and be helpful by answering any questions that you have.
Edit: The phone was also factory reset when trying to unlock it. Well I’m pretty sure that I reset it accidentally and kept pressing the power button which just led to it restarting and opening at the factory reset screen.
Sounds like phone is in edl mode but you missed the short window for msm to pick it up. Also on windows pc you need to have it in test mode for the edl drivers to work since they are not signed. St least on my windows 8 machine. Don't know about 10. Since i switched to linux on all but 1 machine

Sorry forgot to mention you should just be able to press and hold the power button to reboot. Hold it very long time until you feel it vibrate then it should reboot to normal long as you didn't wipe it

Sorry for crossposting but there is not much live in HTC Touch Diamond forum. I need to revive my phone. Problem is black flat cable to power button from pcb snapped. So power button no longer works. I need that phone I have all contacts inside. Is there way how to turn it on ? After turning on I could keep it on until I get spare parts for repair.. Thanks a lot for answer
You can try to press reset button and see if phone boots.
Also you can try to get into bootloader and then press reset button.

to get into bootloader, you need to press the key combinations for the bootloader (eg. volume keys on the hd2) and then plug in the Usb cable. it will turn on into bootloader tri color.
then press the reset button with the usb cable out.
Just from a random google search, and as said in your other post too. You can try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4SEQ6AUFOI
On my HTC Kaiser the reset doesn't work if the phone is off, unless you also have it plugged in and charging, then the soft reset will turn the phone on. And you can plug or unplug the charger to get the phone to come out of sleep mode (or slide open then close the keyboard, but not all phone have keyboards).
Press reset button or get into bootloader,it is a simple question.
some older htc models will power on just by hooking up the usb... like 8125, 8525... dunno bout yours tho...

One way you may have a try is you just use some third part management tool to backup your contacts or any other data. Then you don't need the power button to turn on your phone. I wonder if it can help you.
Night of the living thread!
Hi,
I purchased DVP from eBay from the guy who slightly used it. It seems its was a T-Mobile version. When I got it first time and inserted my sim in it and started the phone, it stucked on a screen which says.
7:41
Saturday
January 05
try again in 16794320 minutes
And I can't do anything on it except for the emergency call (or camera button works). I can see full signals, and also can receive calls. But can't make any call (except for emergency) and any other operation on the phone.
Is there someone who can suggest me whats wrong with the phone and why it is stucked in that weird situation? And most importantly, how can I get rid of this situation?
thanks.
Sameers
your handset is pin locked and wrong pin entered lots of times
Thank you for your reply.
But is there any way to unlock it? Please suggest.
thanks,
Yes, the only option at this point is to do a hard reset. take the battery out for about 30 secs., put the battery back in and hold both the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time and hit the power button once while still holding down the volume buttons. You should see a white screen with instructions, follow the on screen instructions. Note that you might get the rainbow screen, if this happens just repeat steps until you get the white screen; took me a few tries but it works.
thanks for the suggestion.
I am trying that, but it seems not working. I kept pressing both volume keys and then press power button and it simply boots up, no white or any other screen.
Somewhere else on the internet, I read that you can't hard reboot Dell Venue Pro using buttons, the only way to do that is using its about menu (I never saw about menu of Windows 7 as this is the first time I am using it). Is that true?
thanks

Make sure you hold the 2 volume buttons down and then press and hold the power button for a second but keep holdin down the volume buttons the whole time.
Believe me, I tried it exactly as you said.
Hold down both volume buttons.
Pressed the Power button and released.
I took off the battery for several minutes and then put that back in and then tried it. But it just booted normally. Holding down the camera button though takes it to the USB mode.
I even tried that with and without SIM card.
Are you sure you tried that with Dell Venue Pro?
thanks, I appreciate your help
Ok first of the Dell was my favorite Windows phone but lacked some things that other Windows phones have like after Mango update the caplebility to WiFi tether and the camera is just hands down awful. Anyway I have a Titan now. Anyhow I gonna help you. Like I mention the Dell lacks a few things other windows phones have and one of it is the hard reset button combination. It won't work on the Dell. Your best thing to do is contact dell they can help you getting the phone back up running for you. Sorry.
I believe that the thread in the Venue Pro forums about how to unbrick it will apply here to fix your issue.

Found this on line (Google is your friend):
How to hard reset Dell Venue Pro using phone buttons
1. Switch the phone off, if it is unresponsive, remove the battery and reinsert after few seconds.
2. Press volume down and camera buttons simultaneously and keep holding it.
3. Press Power button and then release it but continue holding the volume down and camera buttons.
4. Once you see the format screen release the pressed buttons.
5. Follow the instructions to reset your phone to its factory default settings.

Do you have a link of that? I have been trying but didn't found any solution out there as well.
Tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411300 ?
What you've tried so far was Volume buttons, not Volume down+Camera buttons. Try that first and don't give up, on some phones you have to try many many times (my 2nd Desire HD wouldn't allow me to get to the boot loader before 15 minutes! I sold it the next day and I still owe the 3rd one).

thank you forelli. But remember, the volume down and camera buttons causes to boot in USB mode. I am not sure how it will get it to hard reset.
Hey everyone, for some reason my S3 decided to take its last breath (hopefully not) today.. I had flashed Mastamoon's CM12 build for my Straight Talk S3 (SCH-S968C) today and got all successful messages as it was flashing but when I restarted it my screen did not want to come on for some reason. I have left it on the charger for the past 8 hours and there is no LED lit up to show that it is charging, the screen will still not come on or anything. I have tried to put it into download mode, recovery, and safe mode to no avail.. Connected it to my laptop to try and use ODIN to go back to factory defaults: no luck. Tried Kies and the Emergency Recovery: still no luck. Does anyone know of a potential fix or atleast a way that i can get the screen to turn itself on so i can attempt at ODIN again?
Mastamoon's CM12 Build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569769&page=64#post59690401
(For ****s and giggles I also pulled the battery and held down the power button to drain the power remaining in the phone and that has not done anything either when i reinserted the battery) :crying:
Edit: Sorry forgot a couple things. When I connect it to my laptop, my laptop will ding at me saying that it is connected. but it will not show up in my computer or disk management. It also went through the initial driver setup and still wouldnt show up.
I know that this is the Verizon S3 forum, but for this phone only the verizon roms have been working..
Take out the battery for like 20 sec hold down power and volume down until another screen pops up then press volume up
Or plug it in your laptop hold the buttons I told u until ding let off buttons and really quick press and hold them again

Hi,
Hope you guys can help.
I've had my Nexus 5 phone for 16 months now - generally worked great. Occasionally it dies and wont power up, but tends to be fine once you leave it charged for 10 minutes and give it a go a few times.
However, now, it wont boot up at all. It has a mind of its own of turning on and off every few seconds, and then just staying on the Google logo before switching off again.
Very occasionally it gets to the 4 circles but again shut offs after a few seconds.
I've read a few threads that suggest pressing Vol button and power on button. I've tried that and get to the android robot screen, but it switches off like 1 second after, so im unable to select any options.
Any ideas very welcome?
When I have connected to a charger, it constantly boots up and switches off the google logo after couple of seconds all by itself.
but if not connected to a charger, then it remains off unless I press power button or give it a little knock.
Thanks a lot
I had the same problem and what I found is that it is a power button that is stuck. What I did to get the phone back on is to continuous press the power button until the phone fully finishes booting. After that it should be OK, if not a good smack to s table can also help, no joke. I set my volume button to power on screen and use an on screen button to turn of because its hit or miss with the power button for me. Thought about getting it fixed but have no time.

I have this problem to. I sent it to service, but since its rooted, the wont repair it if I don't pay. It's baught from dustin.no, not Google Store
They say the motherbord is broken because of overload, because the rooting..... I have ordered a new powerbutton from Ebay, and will try to replace it if this solution doesn't work.
Can this be true, that the motherboard got broken because a rooted the phone?? I have never did anything else that rooting......
Sir, I have a Redmi Note 4 device, two years old. I'm having some hardware issues with it like power button doesn't work anymore, one of the speakers is not working.
The phone has switched off couple of times, but I managed to turn it on with pressing a specific part of the power button. This time, it's not working.
I surfed on the Internet and found a solution by using FASTBOOT mode. I did as instructed -
I pressed the volume down button and plugged the USB cable of my phone to my PC.
The fast boot mode showed up and now, whatever i try, it' s stuck there.
Please sir, need you help ASAP.
Regards,
A noob.
