I do have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2. When I click power button it resets my phone immediately. I've had CyanogenMod 10.2 from TeamCanjica when it started. From the beginning it happened once a few days, but not it's nonstop. I've had to download QuickReboot just to reboot and install new CyanogenMod 11.0 from Maclaw, because I couldn't do it with button. But even though I've done it, power button is still bugged and I can't block my phone, it still keeps reseting it about 5 seconds after I click it. I've tried tapping it, holding and everything but it doesnt seem to work. I've also tried rebooting it and hard reseting but nothing changed.
Please help me, because I can't use my phone right now.

So I'm running CM 10.2 android version 4.3 and I started to notice that when I pressed the power button, it brought up the reboot menu instead putting my screen to sleep so I downloaded the newest nightly and figured it was probably just a bug and went to flash the latest nightly. Upon reboot, my phone got in an infinite bootloop so I pulled the battery, let it sit for a minute and then held the power, volume up and menu button to enter recovery. I got the blue words in corner that you will normally see when booting into recovery, then saw the S3 screen that you'll see right before entering recovery, however, my phone started rebooting again constantly vibrating etc. So then I decided to try and get into download and flash back to stock with Odin. So I entered download mode, pressed volume up on the confirm screen and then it entered download mode and then immediately rebooted and wouldn't stop. Is my phone bricked? I'm wondering if the power button is broken since when in download mode, it reboots which normally occurs when you hold the power button in download mode. Sorry for the long description but just wanted you guys to know what I've done so far and am experiencing. Any help is appreciated. I've been rooting phones from all manufacturers for years now and I'm out of ideas at this point. Thanks!
Definition of a bricked phone: A completely unresponsive device which doesn't turn on at all. Doesn't vibrate upon start up and doesn't have any signs of life.
You most likely have a jammed power button as that has been the issue with the GS3. Not a brick.
Clearly not bricked as the first reply explained. And for the love of god, please use some white space (paragraphs) next time.
If you think that a button is jammed, see if you can physically unjam it without causing damage. If you believe that the flash may be messed up, the mskip's Samsung Toolkit may be able to reflash a known good ROM even with a stuck button. And look into some of the button remapping apps like the aptly titled Fix Broken Power Button app.
Good luck.
My Nexus 7 (2013) won't turn on after I tried to install a custom font from the latest version of Rom Toolbox Pro.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it fresh this afternoon with WugFresh's nexus root toolkit. It took a little bit of fiddling to get my pc to recognise my device and for adb/fastboot to work with it, but I managed. Everything went fine once that was sorted out.
I have installed the latest version of Pacman rom for my device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408829) from the website linked here, installed all my apps and made a back up before I started using Pimp My Rom and Rom Toolbox Pro.
From Pimp My Rom I installed the GPS fix for Europe/United Kingdom, and the miscellaneous tweaks.
From Rom Toolbox Pro, I installed the font "segoeui". After making these changes with these apps, I rebooted by nexus 7 wherein it entered a bootloop. I waited for 4-5 minutes to see if it would exit the bootloop on it's own, but nothing happened so I held down the three side buttons and my device went off.
After that I plugged it into my pc, which recognises that a device has been plugged in and lists it as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" but can't seem to do anything with it. I tried pressing the power button, and the default symbol for battery charging appeared on the screen so I tried to boot my device into recovery by holding all three buttons again. After doing that, the screen went off and no matter how long I hold down the volume and power buttons, nothing at all happens.
I have only had this tablet for a few hours and I am very worried that I may have inadvertantly destroyed it with the most innocuous amateur rooting, and that I won't be able to return it for a refund if I have.
Can anyone offer me any advice?
Thanks
I think your problem is ... holding ALL three buttons.
Try again with just Power & Volume down. You made a backup so it would be easy to get back.

You're right. I held power and volume down, and it booted into the bootloader. Thanks Bit of a false alarm there, I just panicked when the screen went black and wouldn't come back on ><
Thanks for your help!
No problemo. Glad you're back in business.
I have multiple android devices and they have different key combos to get to recovery.
I got mixed up sometimes. Why don't they all agree to the same steps?
Hello everyone! So I've had my phone (HTC One M8) rooted and custom recovery and rom installed for a little while now. The latest rom I've installed was Android Revolution HD 22.1. I also have twrp 2.8.1.0 installed. The other day my phone got wet and started to constantly reboot itself, wouldn't shut off and stay off, would never actually start. I put it in a cup of rice for 2 days, then proceeded to plug it in to charge it. Once charged enough I tried to turn it on. It only made it the HTC One logo screen and would vibrate every 10 seconds or so. I tried rebooting several times and no matter what I did with different button combinations I could not get it to load into bootloader. Eventually with restarting different ways and "mechanically stressing" the phone (short temper lol) I managed to get it to loading into the rom itself. From there I opened hasoons all in one toolkit to reboot directly into recovery and recovered to the stock rom. So the phone will now reboot with no problem into this rom. I haven't tried reflashing the ARHD 22.1 rom again because im afraid it'll break again. However, while in the stock rom everything work fines except for the volume up button which does nothing, except for while the screen is off, if I turn my phone to landscape the camera app will open without me even pressing the volume up button. If I reboot into bootloader via the quickboot app or hasoons toolkit, my volume down button with make the cursor go up, the volume up button does nothing, and the power button does nothing. The only thing I can do in bootloader is to hold power+volume up to get the phone to reboot. I also cannot get bootloader to load by holding volume down+power. So, After all that explaining, my main question would be, do you think that the buttons are shorting in a weird way because of water damage, or do you think my software got corrupted because of all the rebooting it did? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

UPDATE: my power button will now lock my phone but not unlock it.
Hi all, my Tab S 10.5 (T800) was running stock MM with no root. I tried using the Adoptive storage enabler patch from this site. After installing the TWRP using Odin and flashing the adoptable storage patch, I am stuck in that stupid reboot loop. I did selected "Allow modification to system partition..." in TWRP. I managed to apply the batch and after a number of attempts boot successfully, changed to internal storage etc but still getting random reboots all the time now. Read more on the site; then did cache clear, factory reset via recovery and then also flashed back stock MM firmware - everything successful but still getting random reboots.
Just to mention, the tablet has recently had a brand new original battery so that is not the problem. It was working fine before I attempted the TWRP/Adoptive storage patch or stock firmware flash and now getting random reboots (sometimes right at startup logos and sometimes soon after booting up).
This appears to be a very common one on these Samsung tablets so no clear reason anywhere why it happens. Any suggestion for a quick fix for this please. I am getting random reboots at the moment all the time since I tried flashing the recovery/patch/stock firmware. Any help would be appreciated please...
update
Just to provide quick update and info:
Purely by hit and trial, I have found that if I keep hold of the power button (pressing it constantly since power up), it goes past the initial boot loop consistently and boots the device up. But then, once it hits the limit for holding the power button (think 30 secs), it vibrates and turns itself off (which I think is normal behaviour). So I thought this is interesting to share as not something I have read anywhere else. Not sure what difference it makes to the startup by holding down on the power button but that does not appear make it loop. Of course, this is not a solution as the tablet eventually shuts down after 30 secs of holding the power button.
The power button itself seems fine and not broken/damage or anything - clicks fine and solid and works fine every time. Also the random restarts does not happen in recovery/download mode so I take it the power button is not faulty as else, it should be happening for everything.
Again, requesting everyone for some help please as I am a bit stuck what to try next.... thanks in advance!
anyone pls...?
Bump again... in the hope one of the experts will jump in to help!!
Thanks in advance
I'm experiencing the same exact issue, The tablet will power up to the setup screen and I can almost finish the setup process but then it vibrates and powers down. PLEASE... someone, chime in and help with this problem.
Thanks In Advance
This happened to my old phone, couple year ago. If I can remember, I installed twrp on it and unlock its bootloader. I installed a custom rom on it. But then every time I tried turning it on its just loops. I tried every combination of buttons, no vibration, I can't access the download, recovery, or even the twrp to flash the a stock rom. I can't remember any details, because it happened like couple years ago and I just found the phone recently. I would like to fix it, any suggestions?
Edit:
I tried holding vol. down/up + home + power and releasing the vol.down/up and home when the samsung grand logo shows up. It just loops on it for couple of time and just turns off.
