I was messing around with the wifi tether app built into the custom ROM I'm using (hatka 3.0), and suddenly my phone froze and now the display wont come on. When I hold the power button all 3 buttons at the bottom flash on and off.
USB reads it fine, adb as well.
Keep holding power down a few seconds after the buttons flash and it should reboot. If not, also hold volume down and you'll reboot to bootloader and can enter recovery that way and reflash if necessary

Neither of those worked. If I hold the power button, the 3 buttons will flash as long as I hold the button.
What happens if you keep your phone plugged in to the wall and you try to reboot/boot into the bootloader?
Also worth a try using adb to reboot into bootloader
Did you try removing the battery for 10 minutes ?

Plug the phone into your computer, make sure adb is working by running the command " adb devices"
If your phone is recognized type "adb reboot bootloader" and see if you can get into the bootloader that way.
Otherwise, I would keep it charged and try to get it to power down by holding power for about 15 seconds untill it powers down.
If nothing else works I would try removing the sim and try restarting that way.
Maybe even let it die then charge it up and try powering it on. If none of that works I would say you may have a fried display.

I have been in similar territory a few times. The holding down power button until 3 icons start flashing WILL work- the time held will vary GREATLY! from 10-15 seconds to waaaay longer, keep trying, multiple times if needed. It will eventually reboot. You may need to hold the down vol button to get into fastboot then recovery so stay alert when reboot happens-it usually does when you least expect it. All of a sudden, a black screen then you need to hold in the vol button to get back.

It's a non removable battery.

I appeared to have hung my device out to dry a few times now. In the 'old' days pulling the battery and then replacing it would be the fix to be able to restart into recovery or fastboot etc etc. On the DNA holding down the power key until the 3 lower navigation keys blink has worked a few times although I am never quite sure if it's going to work (or exactly what I did). Most recently my phone was frozen in one of those "android has stopped working" messages and I could do nothing, I did the holding down power bit and got a message similar to: "continue to hold down power key to reboot phone for x seconds" x being 1 or 2 seconds on my device. It did not work (and was held for way longer than the 1 second)...after several trys it did manage to get it to work restarted and I was able to get into recovery and all was good. My question- is there a foolproof way to turn off the device or a proper method for doing so? That is when the phone is frozen or when the 'usual' methods fail?
You need to hold down the power button for between 10-15 seconds for a successful reboot.
Sometimes it needs to be plug into the charger or USB in order to reboot. So you plug it in then hold down the power button until the lights flash and it reboots.

i held it for more than 30 sec and still no reboot, doing it multiple times eventually got me there, the good news is i guess is it CAN be done-thanks for the info
please give some advice. my phone died while receiving a text and i plugged it in to charge it displayed the red light that it was charging and then i pushed the power button to turn it on and it will not boot and it will not display the notification light that it is even charging. i was running the google edition 4.2.2 and had used htc unlock about a month ago and i haven't flashed anything since. if this helps i was using firefox a few days ago and it froze so i held the power button to turn it off and it took a good ten minutes and multiple times of holding the power button to turn back on. is there a power reset or something i can do since you cant remove the battery in this phone?
Plug phone into charger
Try holding down power and volume down until
Keep holding down, you'll see the back and home buttons light up. The screen should go black and then eventually go into hboot
From there you can reboot or go to recovery and reflash or do whatever

i have tried all button combos and nothing not even home and back lights come on. i have even left it on the charger overnight and still no notification light came on. i did get in indication when i plugged it into my computer so i might try a ruu if i can. thanks for the help though.
not sure exactly how but i now have my phone working again. windows recognized the device being plugged in so i installed htc sync for the driver to be installed and then i did a 'fastboot devices' command and it showed one device connected so i did "fastboot reboot" command and then checked for devices and nothing was there. then it booted while holding power + vol down
what hboot ar eu on?

i got s3, suddenly it started to reboot itself all the time, what i see is only the samsung logo and then black, and samsung again.
the funny thing is that when i put the battery in, it automaticly start with this loop.
during the loop, when i press home+volume up, i can see the cwm screen for two seconds, and then it reboot again.
if i press home+voulume down, i see the warning in the stock recovery, but when i press volume up, nothing changed, and eventually after two seconds it reboots again.
i tried to connect it to my pc, but it dosen't show it in device manager, and have no indication that i connected it.
also, when i connect it the charger, i see circle, and then a battery for a brief second, and then the circle again.
is it simple hardware problem (stuck power button? even though it seem okay, but it may explain the automatic turn on), or half SDS?
anyway, are there any recommondations? i have'nt flashed it recently or anything like it.

can you enter recovery mode?(yes= factory reset). can you enter download mode?(what does it say under product name?)

as i wrote before, i can enter to both recovery modes (volume up or volume down) for something like two seconds, i can't do anything in it.
if i try to get to download mode (home and volume down) i see the warning, but either i press volume up or down, it reset itself.

the regular, about flashing custom roms, if i want to continue press volume up, restart, volume down.
either way, it restarts.
any way it is the power button stuck in 1 mode?
If phone starts on battery insertion, before you push the button then yes, power button is shorted out.

Try leaving the battery out overnight/long time, it helped when I got my phone stuck in a bootloop. But that was due to oc/uv...did you try something risky, causing it to bootloop?
no, it was in regular use, nothing risky.
yesterday i dissassembled it and checked with multimeter, it seem that the power button shorting the circuit, so i ordered a new one, going to be a surgical operation...

Sooo.... HDX 8.9 Saturn... Rooted using Kingroot, and Disabled OTA... and the home launcher... so I'm at the point where windows explorer opens up the kindle, but i don't see anything because I had a password on it, and ADB won't let me install a new launcher to fix my mistake... Does anyone know the fix to this or can point me to the right path?
I guess your one option is hard reset from stock recovery.
You need working adb. I suppose after the hard reset adb access will appear. But no guarantees.
Will that not disable adb anyways?
I said: "no guarantees". but I dont see other option anyway.
Can't get into recovery... What are the buttons to be holding... Vol Up + Power, right?
Just hold vol up immediately after power on.

Right I did that, got in, but it cycled out almost instantly... I tried a few more times, and left it alone.. now it won't respond to anything, not even when I plug it in... argh... Looks like its permanently dead.
i dont think that this is possible
try to leave it in charge or hold power button long, above 3 min.

just clarifying, hold vol up immediately after power on, without holding power button.
I left it on the charger overnight, and now it won't respond...
That is how I got into recovery, then it cycled out... I tried to go into recovery with only the volume up, and it wouldn't let me, and then this happened....
i'm going to hold off until Saturday, and leave it for about 5 hours on the charger... See if that does something
Yeah, so I left it in the charger overnight, and there is no response no matter what button combo I do....
so what the heck happened... I didn't do anything in recovery, unless it did something when it flashed out...
Well, I finally did the factory reset... I have the notification panel and the home buttons panel... Settings doesn't work, neither does wireless, and I have a flickering screen.
Amazon said they will send me a new one...
Search Partially works, except that I can't really turn on wifi to download an apk or turn on ADB using the option... wonder what would happen if I tried ADB now... not much point anyways since I'll get a new one, just loose root.... I can live with the new UI
Hi
Crushed my screen and need to shut down the phone. Anyone know what to do?
Screen is currently not working at all, just showing some blue spots.
Pushing the power button for 10-15 seconds just make the phone restart.
I have also tried to shut down with various modes of Volume +/- while pushing power button, no luck.
Anyone have an idea here?
Appreciate anything.
Thanks.

If you can get adb running you could always run (in cmd prompt) :
adb shell shutdown

Not possible, the screen is completely inactive.
Need to find the "button" to push for 20 seconds so it gets turned off, not restarted as it does now.

Ok. When booted, plug in usb from computer.
Hold power and volume up until phone vibrates, release Power button.
Keep holding volume up for about 20 seconds (this should be a lot faster with bootloader locked) then release volume up.
Wait for another 10 seconds to be safe.
(If you hear it connecting to computer it's not actually done booting to eRecovery yet)
Now, click on Volume down twice, then power. Device should now shut down.

Excellent, thanks.
This seems to have worked, are no more blue spots left on the screen, so believe it to be shut down.
