Can someone help me please? My rom today started to act up and froze, then my phone crashed and now won't enter into the boot or recovery or download mode it just continues to vibrate.
Could be your power button, have you tried to pry it a little.

Yeah it still clicks and if I try to push the battery into the sockets and plug in my phone it'll set into download mode for a few seconds not enough to restore it and crash again

Still sounds like your power button. Seen many, many threads like this, and several have figured its the power button. Mobile tech offers a great power button service, check them out

so i notice HTC one x battery is not user replace-able. How do you force the phone to shut down in case the phone is freezing or whatever reason?
hold the power button for about 10 sec simulates a battery pull

I think you have to hold down VOL+, VOL- and POWER together to do that. Just tried it on my phone and it shut the phone down. Not sure if it works in situations where the phone is frozen though.
What Daan said, hold the power button until it shuts down (max 10sec)
thx, i haven't got my one x yet but this should be useful when my one x arrived.
with the power button (hold for 10sec) you can only force a restart on the hox!
but how can you make a shutdown only with hardware buttons?
for example: the display cracked and you want to power down your phone?
as far as i know, no chance to shut it down!

The closest you get is 'holding power + volume down' for around ten seconds. The system will reboot into the Booloader, where you can select power down.
fastboot oem powerdown (if you are interested)
note: you cant turn off the one X ,instead it runs the recovery in a low-power-hidden mode.

Just uncheck the fast boot option in settings and it will completely shut down, to force it just press power button + vol down

Fast boot mode already off, i thought my phone was off until I tried the adb commands on my "turned off" device. (it takes around 10 seconds to start hidden recovery mode)
Shutdown only with Hardwarebuttons. NO CHANCE !
good comments, but nobody had a really good answer for my question from post #6....
how do you shutdown the HOX, if you have no chance to access the touchscreen or see anything on the lcd?
the thing is, i got that problem, that i had an cracked display.
when i disassembled it to put in the new display, the HOX started up, because i accidentally pushed the power button...
how can i now shut it down, if it´s disassembled?
i tried, but with hardwarebuttons only, you have NO shutdown function at all....

Its Workin Thanks buddy i've tested it with Samsung A3 runnning Android 4.4.4 :good:
Okay. When I put my battery into my phone, the Samsung screen shows up. Then, it restarts, and I don't even make it to the Samsung screen before it restarts again and does the little vibrate it does when it starts. When I try to access recovery, it shows the default recovery screen for a couple of seconds, and then it goes back to what I said earlier. I don't even make it to the download mode screen AT ALL. And when I plug it into the wall, it shows the battery screen for a couple seconds, but then its just back to constant restarts. I have had my current ROM install for a long time now and I just want to flash the stock kernel to my phone. Is there any hope in me being able to get the stock kernel flashed through Odin seeing as that I can't even get to the download screen?
Sounds like a bad power button
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Would another sign of a bad power button be that before this happened, my button was SUPER touchy? Like, I would barely lay a finger on it and it would sense it.
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. I found a post and some of the signs are: Black screen with intermittent vibrating, unable to enter recovery before phone restarts, unable to enter download mode before restart, phone turns on when battery inserted. Looks like I need to take the phone apart. Thank you for mentioning it could be the power button.
Never mind. The Bandaid Fix for the power button did not work.

There are a few fixes suggested in the bandaid thread. I think one of them involves banging the button with a rubber eraser. Hopefully one will work for you.
I beat the ever living sh*t out of the power button with a screw driver out of anger. Did not help.

Well. It clicks, but the click isn't as... how do I explain this, as quick and CLICK LIKE? It just feels like there is a bit of resistance and it doesn't do a full intense click lol. If that makes any sense.
Hi,

I guess Your battery is down. Did You try connecting it to charger? What do You see on phone when You try the combination of power+vol up?

Yes' I've tried connected with charger, still no response. Nothing happen when i tried poer + vol up.
Did you try holding down the power button + volume up key? Its to force reboot the phone. Keep the combination of keys pressed till your phone vibrates! Hope it helps...
Broken

Get flashtool and drivers plug phone into it and see if flashtool detects anything on it. If that don't detect it unplug.
Hold the up and down vol button and press power button and see if it vibrates or anything. If still nothing then get a t6 or t8 screw driver remove the back of it and remove the battery and get a ohmz meter on it and test the battery or connect to a battery tester. Sounds like battery dead on it.

Do you see the charging light at all?
Try plugging the phone into the pc via usb. Press and hold volume up and power until you hear a ding on the pc, might take a while.

I had the same problem after I did a dirty flash of a new ROM. Phone went black and didn't want to reboot anymore. What I did was to connect the phone via USB with the PC first. Then I tried combination of holding the power button for 20 sec. After that holding the Volume up key first then pressing together with the Power button and also hold it for 10-15 sec. After cycling that for 2-3 times finally my phone rebooted. I have no clue why but after that I was able to jump back into recovery and reflashed the ROM with full-wipe. Then everything was ok.
unplug phone, vol up and power for 11 seconds, let go of both, vol down and power to enter boot loader, then choose reboot. Must be unplugged for this

Do you use TWRP recovery?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes. Version 2.7.1.0.
My phone went black and wouldn't do anything after I clean flashed a rom. I just left it alone once I established it wouldn't do anything and it came back on its own after a while. I was using twrp 2.7.1.0 also. I have switched to Phil's touch recovery to see if it happens next time I flash a rom.

I have no idea what happened to mine, but it suddenly shut down while I was texting. Did exactly what you did with the 20 seconds and 15 second power/vol up, and it suddenly rebooted. Thank you so much!

Hello, I've been using the T Mobile S6 Edge since the day it came out not had a single issue with it. Well today I unplugged it and used it for about two hours straight (browsing reddit in bed). I then turned the screen off and went to make a coffee, pulled the phone out to dial a number and nothing. Pressed home, pressed power, pressed and held home and power and power and volume up. Nothing. Just put it in the charger and no response. The heck is going on? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
Go to a tmobile store and exchange it. Same thing happened to a friend of mine.

Next time, hopefully there won't be a next time, this happens, try putting the phone in the download mode. Turn off the phone and press volume down, home, and power. Then press volume down not up to restart your phone.

This happened to me also...Couldn't do anything with phone...Couldn't put in download mode or anything. .
Went to tmobile and needed my receipt so headed back home and then it turned on without doing anything

Yeah, what you're describing happened to me the other day. At first, I thought my battery died or something but ruled that out. Holding the power button didn't work so I figured I would put it in the download mode and restart that way. I've had this happen to me on rare occasions with other Android devices I've owned so I don't think it's unique to this particular device. It's just weird and kinda scary.
Cheers for the tip Vanessaem :good: My S6 refused to switch on & on my old phone S2 I used to just remove & re~instore the battery & switch it back on, but obviously we can't do that with the S6 so I was confused So I tried your button combination :victory:
For future reference, Vol Down and power for about 10sec will force a power down.
