I did a system update on my android. It started to restart its self every now and then or it will light up and back off 5 times then shut off. Then it started shutting it self off and I would have to turn it back on myself. 10 last night it shut off and I cant get it back on. It wont even vibrate to show that its trying to turn back on. What is the problem and how do I fix it?
 


Take out the battery and put it back in. Hold every button combination together until it does something (volume up + power, volume down + power, power alone).

After doing that, tell me what it does.

Good luck!
 




So I had the same problem and I did what u said on my zte and now there is just a red light on and i unplugged it from the charger and the light stayed on? Pls tell me there is a solution!!
