Solved! Can't seem to reboot j2 prime

Solution
The buttons (which is a different combo than you tried) doesn't reboot a device. A reboot is just a restart. Turning it off and back on. The keys (not the home one though) you were using are for a 'reset' which will wipe the device and reset it back to its state prior to you using it. Except that it will still require the original account email and password used for the device to work.

If you are trying to reset it, the instructions are below. If you are just having trouble starting it, that is a whole other story.

NOTE: Doing this will clear 'all' the data on your phone, so it is suggested you not choose this option unless you have to, or aren't worried about losing anything on the device.

Be sure you back up any data you want to...

Be sure you back up any data you want to keep, to a computer or cloud account, before doing the reset.

1. Make sure that the phone is actually powered off.

2. Remove your SD card, if there is one in the device.

3. Press the "Power" and the "Volume Up" buttons, together, until you see the start-up logo on the screen.

4. Once you can see the logo, release the buttons and allow the device to enter the "System Recovery Mode".

5. Next use "Volume Down" button to get to the "wipe data/factory reset" option.

6. When in recovery mode the "Volume Up" and "Volume Down" buttons are how to can navigate and highlight what option you need.

7. Once you have selected the "wipe data/factory reset", press the "Power" button to select that option.

8. On the following screen, repeatedly press the "Volume Down" button until the "Yes - delete all user data" option is what is selected.

9. Then press the "Power" button to hard reset the phone.

10. If you took your SD card out in step 2, when the device is up and running again, reinsert the SD card.
