So, after recently getting myself a new screen and a back-housing, I took my phone apart, and accidentally snapped the ribbon cable that connects the power button, (should've been more careful). Anyways, now i'm stuck with a phone that works perfectly but doesn't turn on, I ordered myself a new power button but it'll take atleast a week to arrive, so. Are there any workarounds for this? I've tried adb, but it comes back with a "device not found" error.

My wife dropped her Radar into water. Luckily she quickly pulled it out, removed the back, and killed the power. We threw it in some rice and waited. After a fair amount of time (48 hours), I pulled it out and tested it. It powered on. Here's where we got into trouble.
My wife grabbed the phone back, pulled the back off instead of powering down, threw in her sim, and did something... the phone is now in USB Host Mode and won't come out. It reads:
PI06110
SPL-2.4.160015.3(136036)
eMMC SMS 7376MB,FA31
TOUCH A1(F:80,ID:10,V20,B:AA)
Radio-16.23.05.13_2
Serial (will change to USB if plugged in so it's still recognized by a computer)
APPSBL
IMAGE CRC
FACTORY RESET
I can't get it to come out of USB Host Mode. I can get it to restart, but it immediately goes back to this screen. Does anyone know how to get the phone out of this? I'm sure that I'm overlooking some simple button combination. Please help if you can.
The device also won't power off. It always comes back to this screen.
I did several searches and couldn't find anything in this forum or in the WP7 main forum. Lots of talk of making GOLD Cards when semi-bricked. Have I come to this???
Thanks Team XDA!

I got stuck in a constant loop of the USB host mode when I was doing the gold card thing to hack the spl/hspl... The only thing that worked for me was to get a little screw driver, take the phone apart and pop out the battery. Then when I put it all back together and turned it on, it went back into the normal boot mode. The only issue I've seen now is that I can no longer get back into USB host mode (it's just a white screen) when I do that button combo. But, I was able to change the SPL and HSPL so I don't really have a need...

I appreciate the suggestion. I took the phone apart which was actually pretty easy. I pulled the battery and let it sit. I then depressed the powerbutton to release any charge left in it.
Long story short, I'm still stuck in USB Host Mode. Not sure where to go from here, other than shopping... Thanks for the help though. At least I can add another phone to my list of disassembled devices.

Hmm, that is really odd.
Another time I got stuck in "USB Host Mode", I held down 'Power' + 'Volume-down' + 'Camera' for a good minute or two. The phone just kept rebooting. When I finally stopped the reboot, it booted normally into the OS.
Another thing you could try is to power it off. Then hold both 'Volume-up' & 'Volume-down' and press the power button. That should take you to a different screen, where you have options to restart/reformat. Can you get to that screen?

I will try this next. I've attempted the "power + vol- + camera" but didn't hold it that long.
I've tried Vol+- + power and that didn't give me a different result.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've already chalked the phone up to a loss and bought another one for her. I feel its probably karma for all the risky hacks and flashes I've attempted and never had problems with. Bound to have a phone malfunction at some point. Its just funny this wasn't of my own doing.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
well the trick is switch off the device and boot up using "power + vol- + camera", the device will boot up with usb host mode.
if you are stuck thn press "vol(both +up and -down) and power" this will reboot.
Hey, new guy here.
So about 2 weeks ago my EVO 4g LTE's power button started acting crazy. I would have to push it really really hard to make it turn on. Sadly it has gotten to where now it just doesn't turn the phone on at all. I have since downloaded an app from the market to use the volume keys to turn it on from sleep mode, but cannot turn it off without being able to turn it back on (the app only supports waking the phone up). I've taken it apart, cleaned it and still no luck. No matter how hard I press it, it just won't turn on. The button also no longer gives that slight "click" when pressing it.
I ordered a new button, took it apart, replaced the button and still nothing. It still doesn't even click. I'm wondering what the part underneath the power button is called. Would that be the power button flex cable. I'm speaking of the part the button actually touches to produce the power on/power off effect and the mild click it gives when pressed.
I bought the phone used and when I took it apart, it appeared to be tampered with at this same location. It looked like this section had a black coating on it where the power button would touch but had been rubbed/scrapped off, showing copper.
If anyone knows what this part is please let me know so I can order/replace it.
Thanks in advance
Hey guys.
So I've been having all sorts of issues with my Note (first gen).
First thing is the usb charging port went out; so I bought another chipset and replaced it.
Phone was charging= SUCCESS!!
However, I turned the phone off and rebooted it; screen wouldn't power up, but my home screen buttons did.
Now, the screen is black and neither the home buttons power up.
(K, I know the phone is powering on because it vibrates and is discoverable by PC)
So what the crap did I do? I just simply replaced the chipset, I didn't go messing around with other components...
My phone isn't flashed or rooted either.
Any thoughts?
(....and I don't have the $$ to send it to samsung, out of warranty)
It it were me, i would open it back up. Its likely the square push down cables that snap in. Either push them down to insure they are connected or unplug them and plug them back in. I have seen it happen many times. Just dont tear the ribbons themselves. Sometimes they connect partially and are not fully seated. Hopefully this helps you out
Hello guys, i was wondering if you could help me out with this. I'm in possession of my galaxy s6 edge for about half a year now and it seems like its dead.
It was fully charged in the morning and after leaving it on my desk for 3 hours or so i came back to it noticing that it was turned off. Now i cant turn in on, and when i plug it in (using the original charger) i cant get it to charge either (led is off). I have left my phone charge for over an hour and still not able to start up. Tried different usb cables but it seems like its not a usb contact issue. Tried to boot it holding the volume down + home + power button but also that was without success. The only thing i can think of is that my battery is somehow not making good contact with the phone or some hardware broke down.
Thanks for your time, really much appreciated.

This exact same thing happened to me about a month ago and it turns out the phone was just completely frozen (still on, but no outward sign to give that fact away) - have you tried pwr + vol down for 7 seconds? (not pressing the home key) that worked for me.

Yes I've tried any button combination.. I was left with no other option than to bring it back to where i bought it from.
Brand new s3.
power button doesn't seem to work. Anyone else?
not a known issue, take it back.
You realise you need to hold the POWER button down for a length of time?
Same problem. I haven't installed any apps or anything not either previously installed on another phone or tablet. Button isn't stuck, just totally unresponsive. Guess a trip to best buy is in my future
Add me to the list. My power button stopped working a few days ago.
I thought mine had died until I realised the batter had gone flat but I'm quite sure that's not the issue here.
Yea happened to me too. Maybe some water spilled. If not you have been abusing the power button. Better get a sleep wake cover like a finite and don't let the battery die. Power button issues went away after a few hours. Trick is to keep insisting the tab that power button still works don't give up.
Also press it in centre don't go wayward while pressing.
If you got issue with power button and got warranty get it changed for a replacement device... DO NOT GO FOR REPAIR SAME DEVICE.
Also if you connect charger and remove and connect trick is to learn how it works tab s3 should turn on without power button required. Just make sure you got that fingerprint unlock also keep screen timeout less if u don't have auto sleepwake cover
