I just received my DHD and as soon as I inserted the battery, it powered on by itself. I plugged in mains for a long charge cycle (I don't want to use it while charging).
I want to power off for real but it seems that when I press the power button even for prolonged time, it just goes to standby. I want to charge it while powered-off. How do I do this?
I didn't have the chance to play with Android before so here I am asking easy questions I guess.
Try with this:
Tap the power button on the upper side of phone for few seconds, then you will see on the screen new window with three possibilities - power off, aeroplane mode and restart. Choose power off. Then you can charge your phone.
Other possibility - work/play with your phone till the battery is fully drained and the phone will switch off itself.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
go to settings applications and disable fast boot

Thank you all. That's what I was doing but I guess that the screen was locked and it didn't work. As soon as I unlocked the screen and performed this procedre it worked. I just didn't want to start working with the phone until it is fully charged and that's why I was trying to switch off without entering the phone.
If you don't disable HTC Fastboot you phone isn't really off, just hibernating.

Good point but I had to go through all setup steps until I am able to configure this setting. Anyway, I was planning to leave the phone charging untouched for several hours but I guess that wouldn't be possible.
My phone boots back into clockwork recovery even when fastboot is disabled.
Apparently the DHD uses the recovery to display the charging LED (orange or green), so when you replace the recovery with CWM attaching the charger when the phone is off will start CWM.

I went out for a while with my battery at 20%, when I came back it had drained out. I put it to charge, but when I tried to switch it back on, it refused to boot. On a normal power button press, it would vibrate 3 times and then the red notification light would start blinking. Same thing with power + volume_up. If I press power + volume_down, it would vibrate 5 times and the green notification light would stay lit. Nothing comes on the screen, whatsoever.
I was rooted with S=off, and was using the Operation Inferno ROM (which I have been using comfortably for the past month or so).
I did try some stuff with ADB, such as using it to reboot into bootloader and recovery (same 3 vibrate + red notification light), pushed the Operation Inferno ROM again to the sdcard and tried to restore the ROM from that location (for which I got adb: unable to open file /sdcard/backup.zip).
I haven't yet gotten around to downloading and installing the factory image some have suggested for the eMMC issue (PD15IMG.ZIP) but I wanted additional opinions considering most people with an eMMC issue have been able to open HBOOT at least.
When the phone doesn't power on, neither ADB nor fastboot will help you. There is no device on the other side, so all your attempts went to the drain, and it was expected. Nothing to do with eMMC issue or anything else. Your phone just doesn't power on.
Put your phone to charge, if the light turns orange - just leave it to charge until it's green, then disconnect and try to power on.
If the light doesn't turn orange, or it doesn't power on even after charging - remove the battery for 10 min, press Power button for 1/2 min, release the button, reinsert the battery, put to charge. And again, let it charge before you try to turn it on.
I did charge it earlier (for about half an hour or so) and the orange light does come, but it didn't boot after that either.
I'll just give it a try by charging it through the night and see.
I think a key thing is to take out your battery for 10 min, as Jack_R1 suggested. Then proceed with the charging.

Still doesn't work. I dissembled it and kept it like that for quite some time, then put everything back and charged it for hours. Still the same issue happening during boot.
Connect the phone to USB, powered off, see if the PC recognizes "QHSUSB_DLOAD" device. Try to power it on, see if it happens.
If it happens - it means your primary bootloader is screwed, in another words - no repair (actually, repair is theoretically possible, but no guide, no information and no sources exist for MT4G).

When its plugged in, its recognised by the ADB (even when powered off), and I can do some basic commands (mentioned in the first post). When I power it on the same thing happens as when it wasn't plugged into USB (ie, the vibration and the blinking LED).
I'm also worried about water damage, since a very tiny amount did come on it as I was sweating profusely. Although the indicators in the battery tray and on the battery itself don't signal damage (they're completely white) I've just decided to try and keep it opened up in a bowl of rice, just in case, until someone is able to come out with some idea.
As I'm in India, taking it to T-Mobile is not an option. If nothing works out, I might take it to HTC and see if they can help out.
I have a Samsung focus that I got used and is not turning on using the power button.
If I plug in the charger and wait for a few minutes then it turns on and everything works fine but once I completely turn the phone off I am not able to
turn the phone back on using the power-button.
Only way to turn the phone on is if I plug in the charger.
Anyone Have this problem?? or know how to fix?
same
Same here, started yesterday.
Also it turns off by pressing the pwr button instead of locking the screen.
Now i only can access download mode and magldr
Have you tried pulling the battery for a few minutes?

Yes I pulled the Battery out.
Only way to turn the phone back on is if I plugin the charger and wait a few minutes then it turns on.
the power-button only works if it on. if its off completely it does not work.
The fact that the button will turn it off means the button provides the circuit closure required to trigger the toggle from on to off. Electrically, there is no fault. Time to flash a new ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528984 This one works really good.
Hi, my parents N7 wasn't used for a long time and it was completely dead. It couldn't even stay on when plugged in.
I went into the shutdown mode to charge it for an hour or so and managed to get it on.
The battery was at 2%. I decided to do a factory reset while the device was plugged in but now it's become stuck on the Erasing screen. Its been there for a few hours now. I've tried restarting but it just goes back to the Erasing screen. I've also tried booting into recovery but it just goes straight to the "Erasing..." screen again.
When I press power and vol up on the Erasing screen it tells me "Formatting /data...." in small yellow writing but like I say its been like it for hours.
Any advice? device is completely stock, not rooted or anything.
Thanks
Make sure you are using the OEM 2.0A charger from Asus and leave it connected to charge overnight for at least 8 to 12 hours. Unplug it and wait a few minutes before attempting to get into Recovery Mode or Bootloader (hold Volume Down & Power to restart) - if that work, reconnect the power supply as you want it to get power while cycling.
Keep a close watch on any error or messages popping up on the screen as you do this - post them here.
What is your goal in doing a Factory Reset ?
If the battery is completely dead & remained in that state for a long time, it might not come back to life & a replacement battery is probably the answer for the long run - is it out of warranty ?

Hi the correct has been used. I left it charging over night and is now at 100%. I can tell this from the battery indicator in the middle of the screen when I power off.
When I try and boot into recovery (vol - & power) the device just goes back to the "Erasing..." screen where it stays indefinitely (to my knowledge). The screen is still animated (the robot with the blue rotating graphic inside him).
If the warranty is 1 year then I believe it has expired.
Thanks

Is there any way to clear the pending factory reset request? I can't believe an untouched, un rooted device has just bricked like this
I am putting a $20 reward via paypal for anyone who can supply the solution to this as a thank you for the time they put into it. Thanks.

It's strange indeed. Make sure you keep holding volume down until you (in theory should) get to the bootloader menu.
I have the same problem. Whenever I turn the device on, it goes straight to Erasing... screen, no way out. If I try to do Power+Volume Down thing, it turns off the device, then it'll start again and back to Erasing... screen. Help! :crying:

By the coincidence, is your batt serial no beginning with BD? If so, look on the battery. Is it swollen a bit? If so - call samsung, they will replace battery free of charge.
If not, try to connect phone to charger, insert battery, go to recovery and make full wipe.

it might be a power button issue
ok, this may be tricky.
while keeping volume down and home - slice battery in. If phone would boot in download mode (even just for a while) - then it will be power button issue.
it boots up on download mode for seconds and then powered off again....
Im digging up this post because this is the same problem i had.
I ended up removing the power button all together, carefully popped it off the motherboard. The phone no longer boots for a couple secs and powers off again so i think the power button was the issue. Now i have the problem of powering on the phone. I tried booting into download mode (to have the reboot option) by holding volume down+home while plugging it in but nothing happens, all i get is the battery charging icon. Ive been into download mode before i removed the button, but like the OP, it would only be a second or 2 before rebooting. Am i doing the correct procedure for download mode? Perhaps my timing is off? Any suggestions?
At least i do get the battery charge and it stays until i unplug the phone, no more boot loop!

Ok so i managed to get the phone to power up without going into download mode using this method i found on youtube. No boot loop and fully powered up now, the only thing is that im stuck on the lock screen. My friend cant remember his pin so i cant get in, the only option left now is to boot into recovery and do a factory reset yes? Well, how can i do that without a power button? Any suggestions?
I have a at&t S4 that all of a sudden today stopped working. When I restart the phone by taking the battery out and putting back in, it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and then a black screen. I tried going to recovery mode(volume up + home + power button), and it shows recovery booting in blue for a sec then goes black. I tried for download mode the warning comes up but after pressing volume up it goes black. I really don't know what to do at this point.
Tried using kies or smart switch to perform a firmware recovery?
Yes, the computer doesn't recognize that the phone is connected. It's as if when the phone goes to the black screen its actually powered off. The only time I get anything from the phone is when I pull the battery and reinsert it.

When the phone battery are too low, the phone could behave like that too.
Do you know that battery is fully charged or has more than 60%?
If not charge the phone first.
Plug the charger. If you did not see any sign showing that you phone is charging, press and hold the power button for 10 sec and release it. You should see the phone charging image.
Let me know whether your phone has enough battery power left but showing the above mentioned problems.

Yes, the battery is fully charged. I have another S4 Active that I've swapped the batteries with, along with a spare official Samsung battery and charger. It doesn't matter which battery I use, the phone acts the same with any of the 3.

If you have enough battery power left but the phone was behaved like that, you might need to flash the firmware.
Are you in lollipop or kitkat? For the time being, the only firmware available for kit-kat and lollipop is NB1 firmware cooked by muniz_ri . You can get it from here.
You mentioned that you can go to download mode but the phone shut off when you press volume up to go to the download mode after the warning.
Try the 10 sec method. Go to the download mode (power+home+volume-down) but keep holding the power button for 10 sec even though you see the warning message appear. Then you press volume up to go the download mode. Try this way and let me know.

It was on Kitkat. I can press the volume up and get it to show the download android screen but it immediately shuts off. Holding the power button for 10 secs. and then the volume up didn't do anything. The phone shuts off after 1-2 secs. of doing anything.

That is strange. The same thing happened to me. But I avoided the phone shut down by 10 sec methods.
Just hold the power+home+volume down for 10 sec, even though the warning sign show up, and then let it go all of them. Plug the phone to the computer and then press the volume-down to go into download mode. It works for me. Not on the first try though.
Try doing that with batter charger plug in too.

Thanks for your help. I figured out whats wrong, its got a faulty power button. I took the phone apart, put it back together, and was able to get it to boot completely. The slightest touch of the power button causes it to reboot though, so I'm going to need to replace it.

Glad you found the problem. I was trouble shooting for the software error.
Yes, power bottom could give you a problem too. I use screen off app so I do not have to use power button to turn off the screen.
