I just installed viper rom and I was trying to install Quantum Kernel.
The install finished for quantum and rebooting seemed fine at first. There was an updating android and bla bla bla
But weird thing is, it restarted and now it's stuck on the powered by android with the 'ono' logo on it.
It's not responding to any of the button presses im trying and I think i may need to let it die off on it's own.
I'm sure the power button is working, but idk why the device is not responding to my keypress.
Please help, this phone is kindas new.
Power + volume up = force reboot.
Once the screen goes black switch to volume - and that will get you to the bootloader.

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.
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,
after I updated my htc m8 ( cm12 ) , my phone got stuck in an endless bootloop.
I can't get it in recovery because it continues to reboot.
please help !
Hold power + volume up, when the screen goes black you keep the power button pressed and switch to volume down. It will put you in the bootloader. Reflash the working rom and reboot.
Basic stuff mate
I rooted my phone like a month ago and installed TWRP. After ARHD i wanted to try MIUI, but when i flashed it i lose my root. I m downloaded ElementalX 4.4 gpe kernerl and i go to flash it, instalation go normaly, but when i finished twrp lagged for first time 2,3 secunds when i tap reboot. After that, phone booted normaly, white display with htc and developer text, like always, but after that come black display. It stucked here and i cant do anything. No matter how long i hold power button or anything else it cant do anything. It dont shows orange light on charger. 2 hours i cant do anything, but phone is running something, it is hot right now, cca 41 c, but its still stucked. Please help.
a
finded out now, when am hold power buton + vol up, phone just restart, and stuck like last time. It cant boot to recovery or bootloader
Hold power + volume UP, as soon as the screen goes BLACK switch to volume DOWN. Keep the POWER button pressed at all times.
That will put the phone in the bootloader, go from there to the recovery and reflash a rom with a FULL wipe otherwise it will never work.
Hi I was running the Cyanogen Mod Nightly for my phone, and hadn't updated it for about a week. When I went in to my settings to update it, I downloaded the latest one and when it was done it prompted me to start it, so I did. It got to about 2%, and after that it's been looping in boot. The screen flashes on and off instantly every 5 seconds. Power + Volume Up works, it shows the HTC screen and says it's going into recovery, but then it just loops in boot again.
Is there any fix/hope for my phone?
Press power + vol up, and as soon as the screen goes black, press and hold power + vol down. You will boot into the bootloader. from here you can flash an RUU to go back to stock

So I tried doing this, but nothing happened.
I did however, fix my problem, by holding down Power + Volume Up until it showed the initial "Booting into recovery" screen (which was failing), but kept holding Power + Volume Up until the Battery Charging screen showed up (I had it plugged into my PC). Once I let go, it rebooted the phone normally, and started up Cyanogenmod. Now the phone works, so I am going to back up my data, and switch to a non-nightlies version (or just never update).
Thank you!
Next time if you are in a bootloop, just holding vol down during the next restart cycle will get you to bootloader.
If the buttom combo (Power+vol up to force a restart, then just hold vol down to go to bootloader) doesn't work, its virtually always due to getting the timing wrong (either not pressing vol down soon enough, or letting go too early). And the fact it was looping makes the timing tricky. But holding vol down during a bootloop (restart) will always get you to bootloader.

I already tried that, it would automatically go back into a bootloop. And I tried your second option, which also didnt work. The only way I personally was able to fix it was having it plugged in, holding Volume Up + Power through the bootloader screen (which would crash) until the battery icon with the red disclaimer text showed up. Then it would reboot without going to bootloader (Pretty sure the Cyanogenmod tried to get it to this and failed).
Still cant get it to update without crashing so im just going to flash a new rom.
