So recently I've rooted my E5823. Everything works perfectly fine, except when I need to turn on my phone. When I turn it off completely, I basically can't turn it on... for the first few minutes. Holding power button doesn't work, charging doesn't work, no led, no vibration, no nothing. I have to wait a minute or two and then I can turn on my phone normally. Rebooting works just fine. I'm running 32.4.A.0.160, rooted systemlessly with Magisk, I'm using stock kernel patched using rootkernel and I have the newest version of TWRP flashed and fully working. Help, I'm afraid to turn off my phone now, thinking that it may not boot at all :crying:
When this happens try to hold power + volume up until the device shakes.
After that you should be able to turn it on again.
At least that worked for me on previous ROMs

HELP!!! I installed shostock rom that worked well for sometime….however yesterday when I went running, I was listening to audio and at the same time I was using an app called Mapmyrun, The phone then suddenly just died. No matter what I pressed it wouldn’t come on. Eventually it did come back on after I pressed the volume up button along with the power button and the home button together and at the same time putting the battery back in. Since then I can’t make a call without using the speaker and while trying to play audio, the audio sticks. I decided I needed to reinstall rom or even try a new one but discovered the phone will not boot into clock work mod. When I try the phone just goes dead again and I then have to do the whole volume up button along with the power button and the home button together and at the same time putting the battery back in again. How do I get CWM again so I can wipe?
So holding down the power button doesn't pull up the boot to Recovery option?
What version of Shostock are you running?
XWLP7-SHOstock2-v2.2.2
Now I've actually got it to go to cmw by holding volume up and down together while pressing the home button and replacing the battery simultaneously. When Itry to reboot however it just goes dead and I have to do the whole process again. How do I get it to reboot?

What phone do you have?
EDIT: XWLP7? I9100?
You're flashing a I777 rom on a I9100?
Alright, you get closer.
At first you said you lost CwMR, then you described how to get into CwMR a totally wrong way, then you got in CwMR eventually.
I suggest you spend time and read more on those threads created by creepy. He shows you everything from how to get into the Download mode, how to get into the 3e, .......
Also, fundamental thing, do list your device info if you want more useful help.
Back to your stage, you said you got into CwMR successfully, then reboot???
Have you done anything when you got there? reflashing? wiping? ...... or just got there and reboot and did nothing else?
Hi,
I own a Xperia p, running honami moonwalker v8. Recently i decided to upgrade to CM11. I flashed the CM11 unofficial ROM from this website nightly 2 i think. I did a clean install (erase everything and clear cache) But when i pressed reboot (on cwm) i got a black screen. When you hold the power button it vibrates but screen doesnt turn on, the led goes red for about 2sec and goes off. i tried holding power button and volume up but same result, vibrates and nothing comes up. Even when I make it vibrate 3 times, no result. Im desperate guys please help me i will appreciate your help greatly. And if this means anything, when i installed zip from sd card, it just said installing, and after a few minutes, said install complete. Is this normal? since it didnt show anything in between. PLEASE HELP I WILL TRY DONATE TO WHOEVER FIXES MY PROBLEM.

1. Open flash tool (don't click anything)
2. Turn the phone off, power + volume up until you feel (1+) 3 vibreations.
3. Press the volume up key while connecting the USB cable, led should lit blue and connected in fastboot should be in the log.
4. Repeat 2, press volume down while connectiong the USB cable for flash mode, check flashtool log
If flash mode stays connected for about 45 seconds you can simply try to flash stock with flash tool.
If fastboot stays connected over 20 seconds you can flash custom stock based kernel and flash moonwalker again, or any other custom rom you have on the phone.
If none works, just leave it turned of, charging for one day then try again.
I've seen more than one report of people that recovered XP by disconnecting the battery, though it didn't work for others.
The phone boots up but only the power and volume buttons work. can't swipe or do anything on screen. Have to push the red button to turn it off. It was working fine and just started doing this. I can get it to recovery but twrp doesn't respond at all either. Seems like the digitizer function shut off. Any fixes? Ive tried the sony flash tool but can't get it working right although I flashed with it before. I can get it into bootloader mode -- haven't yet tried reflashing the rom using the command line.
Turn on phone - boot logo shows up, stays there for a few second, then it reboots. It never went past it. So it never enters the fancy boot animation part
What I tried :
Tried to boot into TWRP so I can restore a backup, but now I suddenly couldn't enter TWRP, it's like it doesn't even exist suddenly
Flash all sorts of boot.img, no hope
Flashtool reflash a ftf, and nope. Still stuck at the boot logo
What did I do? Well I tried to undervolt further my kernel, bad idea. Though I didn't expect the effect to be this severe. ROM was stock MM (Yes I did tried to reflash back one of my older kernels, didn't do shyt)
The phone does show signs of life i.e LEDs, vibrate.
Oh and offline charging doesn't work too now, it just reboots as if I'm trying to boot it up
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated (cuz nothing I searched in the forum seemed to do any good for me yet)
EDIT: Brought it to the shop - said was the button flex cable (like what in the hell of all the other effing parts of the phone this thing can cause such a pain of a problem?!). Didn't got it replaced (effing 1 third the price of what I bought this phone, though they got it to boot again but I'm not rebooting it for I am not really sure if it'll enter another bootloop when I reboot..)
@AndyPhoenix9879 when phone is OFF could you try to press and hold "volume down" + "volume up" + "power" button for more than 30 seconds. do in exact order. Then try to start your phone again. If not start reflash stock firmware then try again. If still not start do procedure with 3 buttons again. Repeat several times, phone should boot properly.
I have same situation with my phone during one of testings and this was only way to repair phone.

Somehow de-attaching the flex cable for the buttons did the trick... I haven't did that key combination though, will keep that in mind next time Thanks

When this happened to you, were you able to boot into TWRP though? The problem came back T-T
EDIT : Deattached it again and reattached, working again rofl
Sometimes was possible to boot TWRP, sometimes not. I reinstall Android ROM and TWRP, root it again and since then no problem. Pressing of three buttons in order do factory reset of phone and it helps. In your case if reattaching of buttons helps maybe some of them are faulty and stick from time to time.
thank you u saved my phone

I TRIED YOUR METHOD ONLY FOR ONE TIME ..............................OLA IT WORKED.
I tried flashing device specific system img using terminal commands still it got stucked in boot loop . this procedure worked for me
Good , it was only working procedure for me also.
Noticed quite a few threads re this, have had the prob myself.
Found a simple fix, while trying different things...
Hold ALL buttons down at once (vol dn + vol up + pwr button). Keep them held down for about a min or two. Phone will respond and you'll be able to shut it off. It takes a while to respond.
Cheers
Thank you!
I've added this to the US998 Pie KDZ thread. That KDZ is very wonky. It's the only Pie people have problems flashing. Probably because LG has not yet released Open Market US998 and the one we are using is technically for U.S. Cellular US998.
I had no trouble flashing it myself -- on my backup V30+(former LS998) going straight from Nougat (never updated, it was my backup phone) to Pie through Dev Patched LGUP Refurbish mode. But lots of other people seem to have problems.
On my daily phone, I'm still on rooted stock Oreo with Magisk and Xposed mods.

Hi, @AsItLies, I have tried but my phone still keeps bootloop, so could you please describe it more detailed? Can you enter fastboot or rec then? If possible, please come to see this: Help! bootloop per 5 sec, cannot enter rec, download or fastboot

I think it's pretty clear, what I did and it worked in my situation(s):
There are 3 buttons right? Vol up, Vol dwn, and pwr.
Press all 3, at the same time, keep them pressed until the phone responds. It can take quite a while.
The last time I used this was after flashing LOS17, but then flashed a 19.x version of Magisk... (that's the wrong version of Magisk for Q Roms btw), resulting in phone stuck on boot logo, wouldn't budge.
I honestly have never tested exactly 'how long' it takes to respond, just that it does eventually respond and are then able to get to recovery etc. I can say time wise, if you hold them down and no response after a few minutes, then it's probably not going to work in your situation.
good luck

Oh, I'm just a little confused if you are talking about powering off/shutting down the phone entirely or instead changing the status of logo sticking and then shutting off with extra operation. My phone was suffering automatic reboot per 5 second, so I cannot recognize any other response than that. Thanks for your patience, but I just want to know something more to see if this method works when the phone is almost bricked. It seems you could enter rec or at least download mode, so maybe you had performed force reboot.
Hope further confirmation.

Hmmm I think you may be over thinking this a bit. All that happens (for me) is the phone responds (it gets out of the loop). Then, do whatever you want (shut down, recovery, etc etc).
I wouldn't suggest trying to reboot system again, as you already know that won't work...
All I can say is, if you tried the above and held the buttons, and nothing happened, then I don't know what else you can do. Sorry. Hopefully you can find a way.
Just in case someone is having problems entering download mode while in this bootloop, I'll explain how I applied AsltLies method:
First I held all buttons at the same time, no matter how many times the phone restarted, I still held them
After a while, a white screen with the MEID or IMEI info showed up, this is when the phone stopped bootlooping and I released the buttons.
Then, I CONNECTED the phone to the pc, after that I held VOL UP+POWER BUTTON, this would make the screen go black eventually, and when that happened, I inmediately released the power button but not the VOL UP button, and the phone entered into fully working download mode.
I hope this helps someone.
