Hello XDA
I ran into a problem as a result of trying to get my Moto X to turn on (verizon). I used it until it died and then it would not take a charge even after being plugged for a couple hours.
What I did was hold the volume down and power button until the boot screen came on. I had the great idea to give In to my curiosity and boot into "BP Tools."
This brilliant decision caused my phone to start acting up: When it boots up now, there is a delay in the time it takes for my lock screen to load. The touch response has decreased, I get a Sim error on the top notification bar for some time, etc.
I tried about 10 times to go back into the boot menu and select a normal boot but the option screen (Normal, Recovery, BP, etc) stays up for a split second and then the phone proceeds to power on.
So I screwed up and now I don't know what to do. Help?

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.

Hello,
My HTC one X+ device fell down and the screen was cracked.
However I was still able to use it despite the crack on the glass. After 3 days it started booting itself continuously, i.e. It shows the HTC logo then reboots (stuck in booting loop).
I read that i have to press and hold the Volume down and Power buttons. I did that and it takes me to a menu that it says at the top '*** LOCKED ***' with other instructions.
According to the instructions in the menu i should be able to navigate up/down/select using volume and power buttons. However the buttons don't respond (cant navigate up/down), and after 2 seconds it just reboots.
I also replaced the broken screen/digitizer and still the same.
Any advice?
Thanks
So I bought an S6 Edge today. Updated it OTA to 5.1.1
Fully charged it up.
Got off a 1 hour call, the entire UI was very unresponsive
Tried rebooting, it was stuck at the boot screen.
I can only get it to reboot by holding down vol+home+power, to the 'custom OS' screen.. and then pressing down to reboot
When it boots, it says 0% battery.. and turns off
Has anyone experienced this. When I hung up the call, I had 95% battery
Can I add this is the third phone I have received from Amazon
1st one - Wifi didn't work
2nd one - 4g didn't work
3rd one - Seemed fine, now this is happening!
So the phone is off and charging.
I got the battery to come up, it says 83%
But when I turn it on (hold vol down, power and home, press cancel).. it says 0% battery, and turns off after a few seconds
I can't even enter recovery normally (vol up, power and home, held down until the android appears)
I have to use the custom OS shortcut, click cancel, and then hold vol up, power and home
I decided to try a new charger. After a few seconds I get this:

It said 98% a minute ago!
Could this be related to the issue?

Can't use that app as I don't have root..
you tried just holding down the power button and volume down button for 10 seconds to soft reset it?
Mine didnt boot up at all yesterday died at 80% battery, did the above and been fine since
After leaving the tablet to charge overnight, I found that it was stuck on the wave animation. Holding the power button fixed it and gave me the ability to use it again. Unplugged charger and thought tablet was ok. After a while I find that it's stuck in the animation again, so I figure a restart would do it good, after holding the power button for who knows how long I manage to restart it, but it gets stuck at the "restarting" message. After a while it falls asleep and when I wake it up, it is once again stuck in the animation. I hold power button, but this time nothing happens, so I open the micro SD thing next to the charger thing, and press the tiny red thing beside the black thing(sd card?) and it shuts down. Holding the power button to start it takes it first to the Sony text, then some more Sony text, but after that it gets stuck in the wave animation. Another thing to note is that I was using about 90% of it's storage so was thinking this is a reason.
Anyone know of a fix?
I'm open to installing a custom ROM or factory resetting it, don't really have anything important that I want to recover, just want to turn it into something usable again.
A link to one of these guides would be helpful.
When plugging it into PC via USB I cannot get it to show up in xperia Companion. It does show up in Devices I think, but I can't use it for anything.
After splash screen, screen blank but phone sinks with BT & capacitive lights active
Today I tried to update my phone to the newest firmware (I think it was .210, but I know it was from August 5th on firmware finder...I know its a long time to wait to update, but I started a new job, moved to a new city, etc. so things have been super crazy). Unfortunately, after flashing with EMUI Flasher, the phone rebooted and then got an update failure. I restarted the phone and waited but the screen was black. However, my smart band paired and if I press the power button, the capacitive button lights turn on, but the screen is blank/black. I have tried rebooting, both regularly holding power for 20 seconds as well as holding the power key with volume up and then volume down. I can reboot into a recovery of sorts and tried to wipe cache and restart, as well as boot into safe mode, but both result in the black screen from before. I can also boot into fastboot, but don't know what I could do to fix this.
Any advice as to how I can save my phone would be really appreciated. I'm really hoping I don't have to wipe the phone.
Please help me!
