Have been having a strange issue lately. I can't seem to turn off my tablet.
Long pressing the power button to bring up the power menu just soft restarts. I tried using a third part app (shortcutter) to bring up the advanced power menu which works fine but I still can't turn it off. Pressing power off just soft restarts, pressing full restart just soft restarts.
I can get into recovery but selecting power off from there just reboots back into recovery again.
I managed to get into safe mode and tried from there to see if it was a rogue app but it just reboots back into safe mode. Am rooted with magisk running lineage os 14.1 most recent nightly. Did a factory reset as well but to no avail.
Any ideas appreciated.
Fixed! Turns out it was a substratum overlay causing the problem.

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.
I am not a total noob. I have always done my research and I am well versed with the procedures but this has me stumped. About six months before I had installed Omega ROM (told you i wasn't a noob) and things were fine and dandy. I was running today and bam! my phone just enters into a bootloop (lost my data on endomondo too). But hey! I am an expert right? or so i think to myself and I try getting into the recovery mode / download mode. I press the volume down, power and home button. The warning comes up and all that i have to do now is to press the volume up key right? wrong!! Inspite of pressing the volume up key the bootloop continues. I dont know what i am doing wrong. I am sure it is a really silly thing but i am not able to figure it out myself. I read the posts and all of them deal with other issues. Can someone help me?
Can someone check this up for me? Switch off your phone and try going into the recovery mode by pressing only the vol. down button and the home button pressed together. If it does not show the warning screen prior to the recovery mode then it would mean that my power button is malfunctioning. It would take just two minutes of your time. Please post your results here. Please.
If you press just the volume down and home button not a lot happens not the warning screen anyway. When I boot into recovery I have to wait for the Samsung logo to appear twice or it just reboots. Might be worth pressing all 3 buttons and wait for the 3rd restart before letting go
Edit
It's volume up home and power for recovery if you get download mode and volume up the phone just reboots hence why you go back to bootloop

The problem is solved. It turned out that it was not a boot loop after all. The power button got pressed and was stuck in that state thus causing repeated reboots. It was by pressing the volume down and home button without pressing the power button that i figured out that the power button was stuck. So i took out the screws and adjusted the band slightly and now alls well.
I just updated via the update in settings to 5.0.1, and now my phone keeps crashing after 1-2 minutes. Even when there isn't any apps open and its on idle, it keeps crashing. I've tried to restart it, close all apps, and turn it off for a few minutes, and nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had this happen?
Do a factory reset.

It crashes before it shuts off to reset. I'm going to take it in to best buy tomorrow and have them look at it
There is a key Combo you can use to go into the recovery mode and do a factory reset from there. That is all Best buy will do. I think it is hold both volume keys down while holding the power button then let go when it starts and it will start in recovery then do the reset from there. Mine did the update fine with no issues so far. Hopefully it stays that way.
Power unit off and try to boot in safe mode by holding down volume down and then hold down the power button. When it starts to boot, release the power button while still holding the volume down. Once it boots up then try a reset.
Hello,
A while back I attempted to root my HTC One and I installed CyanogenMod. I've been having a few issues with various things so I attempted to do a factory reset through the settings. I'm now stuck in a boot loop 'teamwin' flashing on the screen every few seconds. I can't turn the phone off and no keys do anything.
Any ideas on how I can resolve this?
Thanks!
Hold power and volume up until screen goes dark then quickly hold power and volume down. Then you can enter recovery and flash a rom or restore a backup.
TWRP works fine while installing everything, wiping, etc. But when it comes to exiting, rebooting, etc, it freezes on the spot (the reboot button is highlighted but doesn't do anything.
Im using a tab s 10.5 LTE.
I have this issue too. It doesn't happen every time I reboot but when it does I just hold Home+Power+Volume Down to reset it.
I did that
And it solved the problem. Thanks mate
Just HOME + VOL DOWN
