[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajrennie_GNex12:
So I've had a my Galaxy Nexus for some time now. I'm rooted and I was running AOKP with absolutely no issues what so ever.

Then out of the blue my phone wouldn't charge when it was turned on, so I had to power down to charge. When this finally stopped and I actually COULD charge while powered on, when I would disconnect from the wall outlet the phone would continue to display the bolt icon and say charging - an issue which I could never solve.

Then the next day the Power Button stopped responding all together and the screen would not power down because I have settings configured to keep the screen on whilst charging, and as the phone was under the illusion it was still charging this meant the screen would never turn off. Other than those two issues the rest of the phone worked perfectly.

But eventually constant powering of the screen whilst ACTUALLY off charge killed the battery. So, obviously, I plugged it in. And all I get is the white charging indicator of the large battery and the bolt inside, I cannot boot beyond this because of the irresponsive power button but the animation shows me that the battery is charging and I imagine it is full at this point.

Reading through some forums online for the past few days a reoccurring suggestion appeared to be unscrewing the back and checking the connections to the power button - but upon trying this I managed to get out 5 of the 6 screws and unfortunately failed and rounded the final one off.

I really need help you guys. My phone is my life and on it at the moment are lots of important files. Any suggestions are appreciated greatly.

I'm only worried to send the phone to either Samsung or my Carrier because it is rooted and because of the rounded screw, surely my warranty is voided now? and I can't unroot because the power button is dysfunctional. The only good thing I think is that the fact I see the charging indicator tells me that the phone is not bricked, but how can I get onto it without a power button?

I only need the phone booted up so that I can restore my data and at least attempt to unroot. HELP PLEASE HELP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Southern_mind:
Try to boot into recovery by pressing the power bottom and both volume up and down. And try a fresh install of the ROM also try not using the keep screen on feature as it uses a lot of battery and takes longer to fully charge. And you can burn the screen with that feature turn on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sonikot:
nandroid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajrennie_GNex12:
My power button isn't responding. All that happens is when I connect it to power I see the white charging indicator - tells me its not bricked - however, a couple of times I've help the power button trying to boot it and it boots into ODIN MODE but then where its says start and points to the power button, I press it and nothing. It's totally irresponsive about 99.99999% of the time:/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Southern_mind:
When ever you start having issues with a ROM it could be an app or a setting in the ROM features causing issues a fresh install can sometimes fix it. I would keep trying to see if you can boot in to the recovery and flash something. With one screw being mess with I can see Verizon charging you for a replacement unless you have the extended warranty. Which is still 100 $ to use. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajrennie_GNex12:
That would mean booting would it not? I have no power button:/ I just need the phone to boot, that's all. I can get some vital data from it then and send it back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beamer9408:
If you can get it to be recognized by USB

adb reboot bootloader

From there follow the guides to get back to stock via fastboot once you get back stock

fastboot oem lock.

Then try warranty if your problems still exist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajrennie_GNex12:
Does the phone not have to be booted to be recognised by USB? Plus I'm running a Mac, I know you guys hate Macs :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
I actually have the same problem. Running the blackice ROM. I absolutely love the ROM but i have to keep switching chargers and/or hoping it will charge. Had to take battery completely out and put it on one of those wall things. Have done a compete wipe and reinstall but didn't change. It's not charging when plugged in but it's not charging either. Just goes from discharging to not charging in the about phone stats..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajrennie_GNex12:
The phone is charging, I just can't get it to boot due to the power button not working. I just mentioned all of the symptoms for the sake of being detailed to get the best help:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Before all that was is just randomly powering off and rebooting? Mine did that yesterday a few times before the charge issue. at the moment mine says "charging usb" earlier it was "not charging" and "charging ac" an using the original cord. I'm asking because now I'm all worried I'm going to be having same issue as you. like symptoms ya know? I hope not because i have FINALLY found a ROM i love. And I'm a serial flasher lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
do you have usb fast charging enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajrennie_GNex12:
Yeah, on the AOKP it would do random quick reboots, going straight from the Pink AOKP Unicorn then back into the OS. Quite annoying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajrennie_GNex12:
i don't think so
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dislplin01:
So I have not even got my nexus yet but have been watching the forums (as it comes tomorrow) but I have noticed this happening to a lot of nexus phone where it won't charge or boot like this are they related ????they all seam to be out of no where every thread says the same thing just one day my phone turns off and doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajrennie_GNex12:
I would recommend it - since Christmas this is the first problem I've had
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
If it boots into ODIN mode and you're _just_ pressing power, that means you probably have an error where it thinks your VOLUME DOWN button is being pressed, not the power button.

You have to do a battery pull to get out of ODIN mode, btw.

Let us know: what happens if you boot into ODIN, pull the battery, and then just boot up pressing power....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2ishun:
No one else sees the trend ?

All of the people having this issue are running AOKP (or a kang of it(blackice)).

Funny how that works eh ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dislplin01:
Yes I saw that too subscribe should submit to there bug tracker
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajrennie_GNex12:
I've never been able to replicate this boot, and holding VOLUME DOWN doesn't do anything either
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Clayton993:
I'm running the .75 leak and want to know if I need to go back to stock before the update tomorrow.

I also need help with getting back to stock, I believe I have a backup on my pc, but have no idea how to get it loaded on my Razr
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yes, you need to go back to stock and it's highly unlikely that the update will push tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MillionManMosh:
There hasn't been even a hint of a whisper of an actual impending update. We would have seen soak test invites last Friday if there were one on the way. Don't break your finger mashing "Check for Updates"- it won't do any good.

As far as going back to stock, just search these forums for the mattlgroff Droid RAZR Utility 1.6. It includes the fastboot files to go back to .181, along with few useful tricks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
They would not schedule a soak rollout or an actual OTA rollout, they would schedule when soak emails go out. If something is happening tomorrow, it will be that.

But yes, you would need to be on .181.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dligon:
The OTA will happen tomorrow all the reports and speculations on the web said it was so and you have to believe every thing that is on the internet because its always true.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hasbrobot:
Ha! That's awesome :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] beaton3344:
Im on .75 what is better about the new builds. Webtop works great as well. Have no complaints. Battery life is decent and i use my phone constantly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmonroe0914:
Soak tests took place from the 1st through the 3rd weeks of may. VZW has approved ics for a while now and it would have been pushed around may 24, but due to an internal vzw problem with the servers that push the updates, it didn't happen. there's an extreme likelihood that ics will be pushed at some point tomorrow, possibly as soon as in the next half hour or so.

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

soak tests took place from the 1st through the 3rd weeks of may (via internal vzw bulletin).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MillionManMosh:
There's a lot of Feedback Network members here. Funny how none of them reported anything about an ICS soak test (and are all speculating on which of the leaked builds will be official).

Your bulletin is misinformed, friend. But keep up the wishful thinking.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
Think positive.. Think positive.

Btw, updates cone from moto servers and not Verizon.. Correct me if i'm wrong..

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deslyxia:
Just got a new KF today and tried loading Go Launcher EX. Got to the point where I rebooted the KF and told it to always boot to GO Launcher..... BIG MISTAKE... something had gone wrong in the go launcher install and Not I have a pretty Kindle Fire Logo on my screen that will not go away.

I have downloaded KFU and Installed the drivers. With my KF on and plugged into usb my device manager shows. "Android ADB Device" which if i read correctly is what it should show.

But inside KFU it does not seem to connect to the device.

Is there something i have missed or is it truly a brick ...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deslyxia:
I tried that ... Uninstalled device (made sure to remove driver) refresh device manager.. update drivers on kindle device... Then tried KFU

All I keep getting is waiting on device...

On the main screen it says:

ADB Status: Offline

Boot Status: Unknown

When I go into the Bootmode Menu and select 1 it sits on a screen saying waiting on device.

This is pretty much where i have been stuck at all day ...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Power your kindle off by holding the power button for like 30 seconds its very likey that adb will not detect your kindle it cannot while its in fastboot But first try this shift plus right click on the tools folder in kindle fire utility select open command window here power your kindle off and enter the command Fastboot getvar product (hit enter)Plug your kindle in it will power on in fastboot If you get the response product: kindle then we can move on.

if you get the response product: kindle Type fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 (hit enter)fastboot reboot (hit enter)

Nothing.?then Then next time try fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product (hit enter) when it says <waiting for device> plug in your powered off device if it says product: kindle type fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 (hit enter)fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot(hit enter)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deslyxia:
I tried both of these. Each time i unplugged the KF, held power for 30 secs(using a timer),typed command then hit enter, then plugged in KF.

both times it powered on and went to the Kindle Fire logo and the command window just said waiting on device. A side note is that during power on but before windows beeped as if it had recognized the device the KF logo blinked a few times.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelandfried:
Don't unplug it.

I've found with mine, whenever I'm stuck in fastboot I do the following:

1. LEAVE THE KF PLUGGED INTO THE COMPUTER AT ALL TIMES!

2. Uninstall all instances of the Android Device in Device Manager.

3. Power off KF by holding the power button for NO LESS than 30 seconds. Even when it looks off, keep holding it and count to 30. (keep plugged in)

4. Power on the KF by simply clicking the power button once. (still plugged in)

5. Once the KF is back at fastboot, the computer should automatically install the drivers from the KFU folder, if not then manually point it there.

6. Open KFU and start run.bat

7. At the menu, regardless of device status (mine says offline/unknown when in fastboot mode), press 1, enter, 1, enter.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deslyxia:
so are you suggesting i do the command line stuff?

EDIT.... any way i cut it im getting the same Kindle Fire screen ...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
one I used this -i 0x1949 one I didnt because sometimes it doesnt matter but lelandfried is suggesting to try to use kfu to reset your bootmode which is logical and keep working with your drivers which also makes 100% sense keep trying you could get lucky and something will work its windows darn drivers that are killing you another option is this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1670405 then you wont be messing with the drivers anymore add sudo to the front of all your fastboot commands.

I have the ADB driver loaded for Recovery,Stock SW or ROM (USB Debog On)

I think I will try the ubuntu thing for a bit .... Frustrating .. very frustrating
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deslyxia:
I gave ubuntu VM a shot. I was able to connect to the device via usb in the VMWare console then i tried to run the two commands given earlier in this thread ... but i was never able to get anything but a <waiting for device> message in the terminal window.

Hopefully someone can give me some new guidance. Or show me where im going wrong so far. I feel like its something dumb that im missing ...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
did you use sudo before all your commands and plug in your prepowered off kindle in when it says waiting for device?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
Soupmagnet said he had problems getting the KF to work with VMWare in fastboot mode. YMMV. I use Parallels Desktop and have no problems with it.

The most telling thing you said in this thread...

If the logo "blinked" a few times, then it's not in fastboot mode. It is most likely past the bootloader stage, loaded the boot partition and trying to start up the system. At this point, your best hope is to send it some adb commands to get the KF into fastboot or recovery, but it might not be far enough along in the process to accept adb commands either.

Read the following post about fastboot mode...

Most people in your situation end up buying a factory cable.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deslyxia:
Okay. thank you to everyone for the help so far. From within Ubuntu I was able to use this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414832 to get into fast boot mode. From there I installed TWRP Recovery then rebooted into recovery mode. Then I installed FFF, Rebooted into recovery mode and reset to factory.

When I rebooted I got the FFF boot screen and let it boot like normal to a factory reset KF.

Again thank you all for your help .
