A few minutes ago I just discovered that I accidentally put my a52 under my chair leg and the screen was broken. So I tried to force it to shut down but now its stuck in a boot loop. Is there anyway to force it to shut off completely or do I just bring it to the repair shop while its doing its thing?
Edit: Holding vol up and power button didnt do anything

So what was the beginning of quite a terrible day yesterday and some bad luck, I managed to top it of by messing up my tablet..
Every time I try to boot it up it gets stuck at the boot screen with both logos showing as well as this "this device is unlocked message".
Have a feeling that I may have possibly bricked it when trying to do a full wipe.
Is there any way for a fix than having it sent in for repairs? Unfortunately since I am unlocked it would cost me extra to go down that route.

Do you see your Transformer Prime on your PC?
For Fastboot keep holding Volume Down + Power. That does the trick for me if I wanted Fastboot.

The only mode that shows up on my computer is apx mode when I hold up and power. I keep getting a dark screen on the tablet side.
I am unable to use power plus down to enter fastboot, or any other options as it always leads me back to the logo screen.
I have an s3 that has been rooted running a custom rom perfectly for about 5 months.
Today I was using my phone and it locked up - totally froze..screen was frozen and everything was unresponsive. So I pulled the battery.
When I put the battery back in my phone displayed the Samsung logo and after that just displays a black screen.
I can put the phone in download mode, however it will only be on the download screen for about 3 seconds before the phone either turns off or the screen goes black.
The really weird thing is, when I put the battery into my phone it will instantly boot up (I don't have to hold download the power button). The power button is NOT stuck in the down position.
I know the battery is charged. So what in the hell happened? I don't know if my phone is bricked or not. I could re-flash it but I can't do anything in download mode because of it turning off.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

what about recovery mode? does that work?
the power button can be shorted even though the button is not pressed
Sounds like SDS send it for repair.

When it tries to enter recovery mode I get the black screen as well
take out the battery. insert it after atleast 5 minutes. i've read somewhere that S3 is sensitive to the order of the keys we hold to enter download or recovery modes. so to enter download mode, 1st hold HOME button, then VOLUME DOWN button and then the POWER button. (not sure i did this all the time but no problem for me till now). good luck

Hi
I'll have that year old one max, it was rooted and I was going to get it back to stock. It was connected to comp and recovery mode while I went to open a door, was off around 5 min, my 3 year old daughter got it in her hands and now it's stuck in that boot screen "htc powered by android". Can't turn it off to get back to recovery or anything. Expensive sceet or is there anything what I could do?
It is seems international cause I live in Finland.

Try holding down the power + volume up buttons for at least 7-10 seconds. The screen will reboot and then hold power + volume down to boot into HBOOT.

Thx, it helped. You saved me like many times before when I started to play with HTC.
I think i dun goofed on the worst possible way. My phone is kiw-L21 So i flashed cm13(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67863454&postcount=1877) and gapps and the b330 package so you can get the fingerprint sensor. and than i rebooted and my phone just went black. Did i do something wrong and is there a fix available. My phone wont do anything. it wont even bootloop or anything else. i tried all the button combinations and i tried connecting it to my pc/charger. nothing. If there isnt a fix for it would i be able to return it to my seller and will they notice anything? I really hope i haven't hard bricked my phone

is the phone actually off of just frozen on a black screen ?
to power off hold power + volume up for about 30 seconds
to get into the bootloader plug in PC usb and let it set 5 minutes then hold power + volume down till the bootloader comes up

I tried the 5 minute thing you said and i held the buttons for almost 2 minutes and still nothing. Are there any other possible ways to get it alive again?
So i have tried everything and now im thinking about getting it jtag repaired. It would cost me €40 ($44), Is this too much for a jtag repair or should i just say f**k it and send it to the guy to get it repaired?
I dont think i have got allot of choices left.
I have a KIW-L24 that has been stuck in a bootloop ever since it was dropped into water. The phone was put into rice for 24 hours but no luck. This particular phone is basically stock - no root, no custom roms, etc.
Current state:
When it was first charging, it appeared to be in a bootloop - showed the low battery icon, then black screen, slow battery icon, etc..
Once it had enough power to attempt a boot it shows the first "honor" boot screen, then goes into the bootloop
I've attempting flashing to default firmware - hold power + vol up + vol down - no luck, still continues to the bootloop
I've also attempted getting into fastboot - hold power + vol down - I can get the initial fastboot screen for a second or two before it reboots
Anyone have other ideas before I call this one dead and get a new phone?
Thanks
Seems more of a hardware issue now than software. Visit Service centre if possible. As you tried other stuff already

Please don't try to turn it on for now. Bring it to service center so that they can clean the insides and remove possibly rusts.
Thanks everyone. It doesn't look like there is a service center anywhere near me.

Keep phone off for couple of days and then restart. Who knows it makes a difference

take apart the phone, remove the back cover, then let both pieces sit in a bag of rice for about 3-4 days, same thing happened with my old phone and that did the trick.
