Any body knows how an alternative way to turn off the one X

i had a previous One X Dead thread here, and the help was really appreciated by me. now, a little sum up, i have a "working" one x, i'm sure coz it boots to sense and the boot animation sense plays, the capacitive buttons can be touched, but, the screen is always off, and when it does turn on, the white hTC screen is perfect, boot animation is perfect, on the lookscreen perfect, but, as soon as i touch the screen, the screen gets all messed up....turning the screen off then on, it doesn't turn on anymore.
i'm trying to get into boot loader, as i'm sure the screen will be okay there, but, fast boot is turned on, and can't turn that off and the screen is messed, and doesn't respond to touch.
any other way to turn it off completely without having to open it and take battery off the main board then putting it back on?
please guys, i need suggestions. the phone is working, it seems a software issue..

Try this:
hold the power button down. Have a stopwatch ready and after exactly 10 seconds, press volume down key and keep holding (powerdown+voldown) both keys. You should be thrown into bootloader shortly.

amazing man, i will try that! i did keep pressing the power button, the buttons light turn on then off, on then off, and after that it boots up again!
thank you! will try that now!
EDIT: it's not working, i tried five times, nothing happens, if i take both fingers off, it will vibrate and fastboot again...
i'm pretty sure it's because of the damn fastboot, as the same case is on sensation...

Hmm ok, lemme do it again but without looking at display (not easy to not look at the pretty huge thing)..
Edit: Ok I got it now. Hold the power button for about 9-10 seconds. You'll see the 3 keys flashing. When they start flashing, press and hold vol.down and LET GO of power key after the keys stop flashing (power key should kept down for 9-10 sec, no more). Keep pressing vol.down till you are in bootloader. Also, there is no vibration.
(I have fastboot disabled, but i think this is same for both).

i didn't work bro, but thank you so much for your help. it's the fastboot, i can tell. no way to bypass that, only by a battery removal.
thanks again
anyone has a different suggestion? ^^' i suck at taking apart a phone!!

I take it you have seen the Fastboot option under Power in the settings menu? Not sure if it's the same thing but just in case.....

This is what I always do to get to bootloader.
Press power until the keys flashing and screen is off, hold volume down (without pressing power button) and plug in the usb cable connected to pc. It should go to hboot, press power once to get to fastboot mode (bootloader). It never fail for me, hopefully it helps.

Arabology: Is your screen touch system working? Even if you dont see any picture? If so, hold down power key for about 5 sec and try to just "hit" the reboot/power off key on screen where it is supposed to be.

...oh man...thanks a lot!...i'll try that too!! ^-^

Press and hold power button. Immediately press and hold volume down (you might feel a vibrate as it goes into vibrate mode) Keep BOTH buttons pressed until it boots into bootloader. Just tried with fastboot ticked and definately works.

guys this will not work as i'm in fast boot! even if i press the turn off option on screen (btw, touch worked, because i pressed exact same place as in pic, and it turned off )....so....anybody can make me few pics, as to where to click in order to get to the fastboot option and untick it?...also, debugging? ^^' please? anyone?

It does work as i just ticked fastboot then tried it! Fowllow the instructions exactly as i wrote them. Press and hold power and volume down at the same time. buttons will flash but keep holding them. Eventually it will boot into bootloader.

i did it exactly, after that it just does nothing, as soon as i take both fingers off the power button and volume down, it will boot back normally...i hear the boot sound and a small vibrate nudge, means it booted to lockscreen already...

okay, update: i was able to make guess work and tick USB debugging and untick fastboot!
i took hours!
thanks for those who cared and helped

Another way is try power+volumeup until it restarts then try the usual method for booting in bootloader (power+wolumedown)

if you had debug usb activated you can enter in adb
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

[Q] please Help, partialy bricked M8 after firmware update

Hi all, hope someone can help, my M8 is stuck on the red triangle screen when rebooting, the only screen I can access is the blue text android system recovery screen, with some yellow text at the bottom saying 'no cw files. skip cw instalation'
The phone is not recognised when plugged into my PC (I get the USB device connected sound) but cannot see the phone or seem to run any fastboot or ADP commands. I guess USB debug is disabled but I cant get into the phone to enable it.
This happened after rebooting following a firmware update (file specified in below pic).
I previously updated my phone to GPE lollipop 5.0.1, from stock sense and am trying to get back to sense, so this was part of the process to install viper rom which is sense based. Phone was S-OFF but no root when I started trying to go from GPE to viper rom.
Any ideas, I seem to have the option to apply from SD card, but cant run any command from PC, i.e apply TWRP recovery.

Can you get to the bootloader?

Thanks for the reply, Not the proper white boot loader screen.
just the android system recovery screen with the blue text and black background.
But selecting 'apply from phone storage' or 'apply from SD card' revealed a 2nd screen, this seems to suggest I could load up what I need via SD card, this is all I have access to atm;
I'm guessing im gonna have to put TWRP on via SD card, then look at putting a rom on?

So selecting the option to reboot to the bootloader doesn't work either? If not, you might be screwed as the option to update via sd card is for OTA updates

Thanks, I can't seem to power the phone off, just reboot via vol+ and power button, pressing the power button to try and power off doesn't seem to do anything at all.
On reboot I get the white HTC splash screen, them it goes straight to the black screen/red triangle screen but I can access android system recovery screen with the blue text and black background. above by pressing vol+ power from the black/red triangle screen.
I just seem to have the following options:
Reboot system now
apply from SD
apply from phone storage
apply from cache
Wipe/factory reset
wipe cache partition
thanks for any advise

Just to add, I used sunshine to get S-off before I converted from stock sense to GPE 5.0.1
Not sure if that has anything to do with my current issue though, I just want a sense rom back :crying:

when your in recovery mode select reboot and hold down volume down key till it boots in bootloader, follow this guide after you get into bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523

Think I've fixed the issue, thanks to a kind chap on another forum,
"Press and hold power and volume up until phone shuts off. Let go of power and volume up then hold volume down until bootloader comes up -_- "
The BOLD text was the little bit I was missing, specifically vol down after shutting the phone off via vol+ power
I now have unlocked s-off bootloader so hopefully will be ok from here.. watch this space lol

Well I may have spoken too soon, but I'm not quite so worried now I have bootloader access.
My PC recognises the M8, I've flashed latest twrp which seems successful from the CMD window, but the phone has now taken to freezing when on white screen 'entering recovery....'
I still cant run simple commands like 'adb devices' thou

Think I'm sorted now, after further faffing- I had to systematically flash progressively older versions of TWRP until one of them stuck, I now have a nice teamWin console!
Now to put a new ROM on

Argh, still issues, flashed viper 4.3.1 'successfuly' via twrp , goes though all the motions, selecting custom apps and stuff, reboots, then just a blank white HTC dev build screen for over 15 mins :silly:
Any ideas?

What's your HBOOT version?
EDIT: Reading through your previous posts I'm going to guess you're on 3.16.0000 - if so, this is why it's not working as you need Lollipop FW for everything to run. Can you boot into the bootloader and post the output of fastboot getvar all (removing the IMEI and serial number) and we'll see what's going on

Thanks for that, I think I may be running a firmware that's too old, that's been suggested on another forum, I've also had to reflash viper via twrp again as the phone freexez on a white blank bootloader screen on every reboot.
Can I simply push a new firmware to the phone leaving the System intact if that's the case?
here are some pics, any guidance welcome:
PLEASE NOTE the first pic shows a newer version of twrp, I downgraded to 2.8.1.0 to get twrp to work.
Thanks again

BOOM!
Thanks again, slipped the new firmware in via fastboot, and I now boot properly with viper splash screen, and WIFI works!!!
I think I just needed a prod in the right direction!!
kudos

Tab S Won't Boot or enter Recovery or Download mode ?!

Dears,
Today after I wiped my data from TWRP I do restart my device (Tab S 10.5 T800 Lollipop Rooted) & I'm now stuck on Samsung Logo or Battery Logo (if I plug it with my computer).
Now how can I download a new firmware (through PC or External SD card), although I can't open download mode or recovery mode through (Volume Down+Home+Power)?
Thnx n Adv.

Of course you can enter download mode or recovery mode, you just need to perform the correct steps.
Whether the tablet is off or stuck on boot screen: Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + POWER until download mode appears.
Also if you only wiped Data then let it boot, it takes 10mins at least.

I do this step many times; It back to the same screen (Samsung logo).
I think I had wiped everything (Data+System).
I read in this forum that : POWER + VOL DOWN + POWER, only works if the tablet is off. Is that right?
& how do I recover my android system after I wiped everything with TWRP?

It doesn't matter what you wipe in twrp, you can wipe every partition and still boot to Download mode.
Honestly this is nothing but pilot error. Its all about timing and make sure you are firmly holding those buttons.
Boot the tablet up to the Samsung boot screen then hold POWER +VOL DOWN(not up!) + HOME until it restarts. Keep holding for about 5 secs afterwards and you should see download mode.

Simple: Unplug your device and let complete discharge the battery. Then you have a black screen, plug it into USB, and let it charge until at least 15%. Then press and hold together three buttons: Home+Volume Down+Power (better, in that order).

Agreed, best in that order and how I do it. :thumbup: Like I say 99% pilot error.
I have probably soft bricked this device in every way possible countless times (comes with the territory when building) and not once had an issue getting to download mode.

1) Hard Reset = Hold Vol down and power
2) As soon as the screen goes black, press and both volume buttons and plug it into the usb (can take a few tries if they is an error somewhere)
3) This should get you to download mode
once in download mode download the A50 android 10 firmware from sammobile [ https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a50/firmware/#SM-A505FN ] - be sure to change the model and network for your phone.
Now you are on stock android 10 [So many reasons to use this over pie - for twrp and magisk it has worked wonders]... Follow this guild: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a50/how-to/guide-samsung-galaxy-a50-btc4-firmware-t4071817
MAKE SURE YOU UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER!

Hey thx for the fast help.
I was tryed it for like 40 times and gave up to sleep a little. after that my Phone was dry agian. wenn i pluged in the dry phone to my pc while holding the vol buttons it finaly worked.
i was able to flash the phone with no problems back to a normal firmware but was still stuck in the same bootloop. but this time i was able to reach the menu to make a factory reset. now every thing works fine.
but i have an other problem now. Over night i opend my Phone and disconnectet the battery because i wasnt able to stop it. I accidentlly ripped a cable at the opening progress.
The phone still works fine but i want to know what i destroyed in case it was something important. i added a Image of a not broken one. i draw a smal red line at the point i broke it.

MI max3 stuck at MI logo

My mi max is stuck at MI logo and I cannot flash any ROM into it.
I have orangefox recovery and I can flash normally there but upon restart I am just stuck at the logo.
How can I remedy this situation ?

Try using Fast boot to flash a Fastboot rom via a Windows PC. That will overwrite Orange Recovery and initialise all memory partitions

I had to change filesystem to ex4 to solve this issue.

Glad that you got it sorted out

Did you try to format data after install of new ROM?
It could help (helped me for sure )

Stuck at logo but no fastboot or TWRP
I also have same problem. Only mi logo comes out..
Computer connection is not possible.(Miflash any com port connection is not possible and computer did not see phone.)
No fastboot start with button
and No Twrp start..
I need help..

Currently facing the exact same issue. Did anyone find a solution to this? My goal is to get the data (pictures, videos) from the phone and store them somewhere safe.

EDIT: I got the phone into fastboot mode. Is there any way to recover my data from the phone in this state?
-----------------------------------------
Some extra information for the people who want to help:
Most recent official global rom.
Bootloader is locked.
Unknown if usb debug is activated in developer options.
Steps I've undertaken:
- Pulled the phone out of my pocket. The screen was black (but on). Phone didn't react to touch input.
- Held the power button down until it shut down. Can't remember whether it restarted instantly or after I tried turning it back on again.
- Phone turned on and got stuck on the MI screen with the "Powered by android" logo at the bottom as can be seen in the picture below.

I press up and power, it restarts
I press power button and hold it restarts
I press power button and down, I can get to fastboot mode

how to by pass all this?

My mi max 3 can only go to fastboot and edl mode (test point).
but cannot flash any official roms without errors.
i read somewhere , it's because the latest update cause the emmc chip damage.

Same with me at February 22, 2022, but I not trying to flash any roms & reset both factory and hard. I choose change the EMMC chip at service center at February 23, 2022 and leave the damaged EMMC chip until now in my house. The servicemen tolds me if you choose to continue flashing, it may be failed and totally damaged, so i leave the EMMC chip alone & removed from my mi max 3 board and then change it into a new chip.
