Hi guys,
my phone just restarts today without any special hint of why it happened. Now it is in a bootloop with a restart every 7 seconds. I also cant get into fasboot because the phone automatically reboots in a too short period I used the CM10.2 unofficial now for 3 days without any problems.
Is there any way to get out of the loop? My phone was fully charged an hour ago so should last for the next 12 hours sad that i cant pull out the battery to turn it off.

Well that makes no sense I think. There were no problems before with the battery. Im also unable to navigate through bootloader with the volume keys. It seems it automatically pushes the power button all the time.
No I charged it to 100% this morning. No problems at all with battery life.
Is there really no way to turn the phone off? Well, bad bad HTC

Is the power button physically damaged and being depressed constantly? You may have to open the phone to take a look, or try GENTLY tapping the top-right corner off a hard surface.
All else failing...if you cannot reach bootloader or do anything practical with the phone, you will have no choice but to seek repair.
The power button is ok. I open the hox and i see no damage.
When you diconnect charger the hox turn off and dont Boot again. Right?

Now the HOX is empty. When I plug back in the charger the phone automatically starts bootlooping again.
The HOX does bootlooping ALL the time no matters if there is sth. plugged in.
The power button is not damaged. I dont want to open the case cause its glued and there is a risk to brake the display.

Yep I think so, too. So wainting until monday and sending it in for repairs -.-
Have you tried getting into fastboot by
Adb reboot fastboot
While it was bootlooping? It may pick it up and actually boot into bootloader. I'm not sure if you need acces to fastboot for this its worth a try

It is the power button that is constantly pressed. The circuit is disorted by water or something. I had the same thing.
If you open your HOX, wait till the white boot screen shows up, and then disconnect the power button flex cable, it boots normally. You can buy a replacement part for only a few dollars on eBay.

Hey,
I have just received a HTC One M8 from eBay but it won't turn on, plugging it into charge puts a solid orange light up, plugging it into PC it is never seen (no bee-boop) So har I have tried:
Charging it for 3hours+
POWER & Vol+ (15-30seconds) (Plugged and Unplugged)
POWER & Vol- (15-30seconds) (Plugged and Unplugged)
POWER (30Seconds+) (Plugged and Unplugged)
Removing Sim Tray & SD Card Tray
Anything else I can try, or should I just send it back to eBay seller?
EDIT: I have also tried the above in the presence of a bright light.
It won't make a noise when you connect it to the pc if it's off.
Did you buy it with no indication it had problems? Was it really cheap? Sounds like you got ripped.... Unless seller indicated it had issues.

Could be an honest DOA. I'd contact the seller.
The solid orange LED makes me think there could be life in it
Hold the power button awhile... If nothing, return it. Not much else you can do.
And why mess with something you bought and should work. ?
---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------
Could actually be the power button is bad.
I had suspicions about power button, but there's no way to confirm.
Plus the light hasn't gone to green yet, or any charging animations.

I agree, try the different button combos for longer periods of time, even a minute or more (as I've seen a report or 2 where this actually worked). Try it with the wall charger connected, and try to charge for longer 6 or 8 hours) and try the button combos.

Agree here, too. If charging for several hours, and button combos don't work, contact the seller for a return and refund.
Well, thats another story then. Probably not the power button.
Yeah I do agree I should return it, just a pain to get to post office to send it back.
Hi there,
Earlier today I plugged my tablet in to charge and left the room. When I came back, the screen was on (very dim) with the Samsung splash logo running. The tablet does not react to anything. Holding the power button changes nothing (so it doesn't turn the tablet off). I unplugged the charger hoping the battery will slowly drain and turn the device off for me. Any tips?
My device is rooted btw.
e: holding power, volume up + down for a few seconds made the tablet reset. All fine now.
I'm experiencing the same behavior meanwhile on two different German SM-T800s. Both have been charged, diconnected (everything still OK) and lay unused for a few hours. Upon picking them up, the screen displayed the above mentioned Samsung Logo.
Here are a few facts about the Tablets:
Purchased and made a OTA update to LP (5.0.2)
Rooted using CF-Auto-Root
Kernel: 3.4.39-4620222 [email protected] #1 Fri Apr 3 09:48:41 KST 2015
Buildnumber: LRX22G.T800XXU1BOD1
SE for Android Status: Enforcing SEPF_SM-T800_5.0.2_0022 Tue Jun 23 14:43:13 2015
There haven't been any updates or modifications of apps or Android itself, which might be seen in a causal context.
As Grawl mentioned the tablet doesn't react to anything. I tried the following on one device
Long press of power button
Power button + vol up + home button
connecting to PC via USB, device is not recognised (Kies is trying to establish a connection, but eventually failing)
connecting to a usb charger
I noticed a significant generation of heat right between the camera and the Samsung logo on the backside, I normally only notice when I've been gaming for a long time. Both have the original Book Case Cover attached.
I decided to let the tablet discharge and see what happens. After letting it lay overnight, without the cover I was anxious and again tried to press power button + vol up + home button and this time the screen went blank and the tablet booted up, which felt a bit longer than usual. I've started the tablet a few times since and everything seems to be back as before this freeze up.
Could it be a 'heat' issue or does anyone have a clue as to where we might look for a cause? Any help is really appreciated.
To add more information:
- I also updated to 5.0.2 using OTA update
- Also rooted using CF-auto-root

I don't think heat was the issue (in my case). It was a rainy day with temperatures of around 20C. The week before I used the tablet outside, when it was 35C+. I made no changes or installed new apps 24 hours prior to this incident.
I mentioned 2 devices and was expecting the second one to be handed to me by my parents. But they took matters in their own hands.
They let the SM-T800 drain the battery and connected it to a charger when the screen was all black (no Samsung Logo anymore). They told me that the green battery symbol appeared, just as it does on a switched off device that's charged. Unfortunatly it wasn't possible to see what would have happened, when the device would be fully charged, as my mom, in her infinite wisdom, decided to boot it into recovery mode (as I had asked her to try that two days prior , which didn't result in any reaction at that time). After choosing 'reboot system now' the T800 started flawlessly and continued to work in that way since.
Still no clue as what might have caused that.
cross posting but we can't delete so:
it just happened to me right now, what a rush ! finally , holding power, volume up + down for a few seconds made the tablet reset
( while connected on usb) once booted the battery was at 60% , WTF was that ?
I had a similar issue. As of 13 hours ago my Tab S was fine. I went to go use the tablet maybe 4 hours ago and I saw the screen dim and samsung logo there (just as was the case with the OP). The tablet had been in my bag, so maybe it accidentally rebooted or something while it was in there?
I did the power button + vol up + vol down reset trick and on reboot it worked fine. It was at 7% when it rebooted :S, but it was around 37% when I was using it last so this makes sense.
I also have a rooted tablet running stock...
Hi, I am desperately trying to revive my Tab S 10.5. It went blank a couple of days ago, the battery should not have gotten empty, but my first action was to plug in the charger. Didn't work of course.
Then I googled and ended up here. I have tried various button combinations, with charger connected and disconnected. Also while connected to my computer, but maybe Ubuntu doesn't count on this occasion.
I fear I wasted my chance for the magic power + vol up + vol down by trying other combinations before it.
My only hope now is if any one of you wizards could talk me throu a magic spell for reviving my precious Tab S 10.5 LTE, or maybe link to an howto guide. Please :-\

Thank you very much for the reply. Unfortunately it does not work in my case. I am not sure which one is volume down so I plugged in the charger and held power + one of the volumes for about 20-30 seconds. I then unplugged, waited maybe 10 seconds, plugged the charger back in and held power + the other volume, also without succes.

Leave your charger plugged in for a while. A totally dead battery will not be able to boot the tablet until it has some juice. I'd also check the charger or swap it.
After a short while try again. VOL DOWN is the one closest to the power button.

Open tablet up at own risk. There is videos on YouTube how to do this. Take out battery wait 3 minutes, plug it back in. Press power button. Should work if not try 3 button combo as above

Impatience is my nightly name. I got the back cover off, it was Hard on my finger nail but even harder on my nerves. Then I fiddled with some incredibly-fragile-looking cables and got the battery out. As I am writing this I'm letting the residue energy disappate from my Tab corpse, before attempting resurrection. I did hold the power button 20-30 seconds after removing the battery.
Note, this was tougher on the nerves than replacing the camera module on my LG G4, wich was fairly easy.
Now, by the power of geeks and The starship Enterprise, Reassemble!

Note, The tiny cover for the Ir blaster came off, keep your eyes on it. I got it back fine thou.
However, plugging in a charger and holding power + vol down still does nothing magic. Thinking I'm to leave the charger plugged in over night.
Nope, still can't get my Tab to liven up. All hope seems lost

Yea that is the next step for me. I'm not entirely sure it isnthe battery so I'm sending in on service. I really liked my Tab S, a bit sluggish but still, I want it working.
Thanks for your time everybody, I really appreciate it.
Installed Viper Rom 5.0.2 running normally for around a month.
I plugged the phone as usual for charging in night at around 15% battery level.
In morning phone was dead.
Left it charging for a while but unable to switch it back on.
No led comes up while charging.
Did lot of research online and Tried all methods like pressing Power + Up or Power + Down or Power + Up + Down for a while for switching the phone on.
But no response from the phone
Also when I put in the micro-usb socket (when attached to charger or computer) while pressing power + volume up buttons the led flash orange for a second.
Connected with PC shows up as QHSUSB_BULK under device manager.
Please help in reviving my phone.
Thanks

How long is "a while"? Let it charge for several hours (overnight) and try another cable and charger, in case the first one is broken.
Then try to hold power+vol up (or power+vol up+vol down)for a minute or more.
The fact it flashed an LED at all is a good sign. A true brick usually has not LED response.
OoohhhI KNOW...
****...i hope i am doing this rite...
Anyway...what you do is so the volume up , power , and the return buttons all at one time...until it turns on....leave alone so it can reboot.
It should be good to go...
Seriously i found if you do this to any device acting unusual...even for
volume issues...check your devices cpu..if it runs hot a lot,
i found this to be related somehow in the htc..
Call me c r a zy
You have to do it longer...if you have no reply...dude this works ..
Or your phone is Effingham dead dude.....

Naa nothing worked...
led comes on (just for a second) when I keep pressing the power button and put in the cable to the phone.
Also I noted that when I plug in the cable a bit further than the exact slot of charging point led stays for 4-5 second then goes off.

Finally I sent the M8 for hardware check and repair.
But unfortunately it was completely dead for no reason.
I left the hope and bought a new phone....
NO Solution at last...
HTC should help me out here...
There phone is completely dead... in just less than 2 years and that to with normal usage (without extreme usage)
I hope someone takes the message to htc for the problems the customers are facing from there devices..
They should just replace such devices with new one for satisfying the customers who had believed in there devices and paid premium amount for the same.

IT must vibrate, however if its not then
1. you must remove battery and insert it again after 5 mins (which sony service centre can do only) (may be local repair shop) but wouldn't advice, local shop may break your screen... OR
2. use rubber band trick, tie the rubber bands around z5 body in a way that it keep pressing power + volume down keys! , it may take 3-5 days for battery to completely DRAIN.
3. plug is to WALL CHARGER and may take many hours or a day for red led to start blinking and then few hours later it should come back to life.
you z5 is HARD BRICKED , rarely happens to z5 series! but it does happen!

I have the same situation at the moment. Waited days for it to discharge and charged it up for a day but still no status light. Tried the off switch and holding the power + volume up button.
I'm going to try the rubberband trick with the power + volume down and wait til the weekend to see if it works again.
