Help please. - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This morning my nook decided to act up and well this is what happened.
Running CM7.1 RC1
I was watching a movie on Crackle app. When nook suddenly shut off. After my attempted revival only the sound came on, no image. I figured a reboot would bring everything back to normal, right. Wrong!
the HOME button stopped working. No response at all. Went into settings but to no avail.
O.k. So I figured if I restored back to my old nightly (n102) that it would work. It didn't. By now im a little miffed and began to search both here on XDA and the web. Seen and read many a theories but, no cigar chief.
O.k. So I went further back to stock 1.0.1. Nada, still not working.
Did the 1.2 update and still nothing. Tried factory reset but without the HOME button not working it was a failed attempt. Im really at my end here.
Someone please help.

[Q] No more vibration - Help!

Ok, so my phone will not vibrate at ALL anymore. I don't want to pay the $50 to get a new one, and I don't want to have to revert back to stock and unroot and take it to Verizon to see if they can fix it.
So here's the details of what happened. I don't know if it's fixable, but I thought I'd see if anyone could offer some advice.
I was running DL30 Blackhole, very basic. Had a theme installed over it. Everything was running perfectly fine for a while. And then I was getting on the internet to do something, and connected to wifi. The wifi was through my college, so you had to login on their homepage instead of just entering a password, and the page wasn't coming up, internet was being extremely slow. So I tried turning off mobile data to see if it might force me to login to the page for wifi. Turned of 3G. Nothing happened. Turned off wifi. Turned 3g back on. Then I got a google system force close error and my phone rebooted itself.... Now I have no vibration AT ALL. No hatic feedback, no vibration for notifications. Nothing.
There was nothing even related to vibration that should have happened in this situation, my phone just freaked out. Didn't drop it or hit it on anything at all, it was laying flat on a table. So I don't know if something just fried my phone's vibration or what, but I would love it if someone out there had a suggestion for me.
I'd try just following the steps to update to super clean 2.4. some kernels act up on your version and drop the vibration. It happened to me. 2.4 is running awesome

Yeah I forgot to put that in the first post. I actual did a complete system wipe. Back to stock DL09, flashed the EB01 modem, and SC 2.4 over it. And still no vibration. I did all that this morning.
Also had a weird glitch where after I installed most of my apps I tried to boot into recovery and instead my phone decided to do a data wipe again, but that wasn't a HUGE issue (as long as it doesn't happen again).

Try reverting back to stock again and prior to going back up to eb01 and superclean...wipe a few times.

I had a similar issue. I actually flashed my phone all the way back to stock. Still no vibrate. I think there could be an issue with the vibrate motor on the fascinate.
I say that because there was nothing I could do to bring vibrate back. All of sudden, it began working again for one day. After that one day vibrate and haptic working, it stopped working for another couple of days. Then, I dropped the phone on accident. Vibrate came back. Eventually, it stopped working again so I took the phone to verizon and they ordered me a new one.. No charge. I bought my phone in Sept 2010.
Good Luck!

[Q] Black screen after CM RC2 install

The other day I installed the new CM RC2 rom on my HTC Wildfire. Everything went fine for the couple of days until it went into sleep mode and I could not come out of it. I had to pop the battery and when still problems, I re-installed rom - again with flashed kernal 4.1 and up to date gapps.
Managed to get it working. But then same thing again. Overall I had to re-install 5 times yesterday alone!
Out of frustration I tried to re-install my CM RC1 from before with the kernal 4.1. And this was fine again for about an hour, then again, mobile went into sleep mode, and again was left with black screen. Again not able to come out of it.
Am at a loss as to how to get my mobile back up and running. If anybody can help, this would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Does this happen with all ROM's, or simply CM7? Also, what are your overclock values and SetCPU Profiles, if any?
Have only tried cm7 so far. and cpu was not touched. was left at default settings. Am not able now to even boot into recovery. Totally DEAD!
Probably a hardware issue. I doubt CM7 can have such far reaching implications as to make the phone dead. Anyhow, this issue looks uncannily similar to this
Thats worrying.
If I do manage some how to get it switched on, is there anything that you can suggest to stop this happening again?
Also keeping the battery out of the mobile for a 5 mins, SHOULD that help instead of just taking out and imediatley replacing?
Doesnt sound too good. If you manage to switch it on you could try setting your minimum cpu speed to 245mhz+ Although it sounds like you have more serious issues. If its still under warranty I would consider returning it
Thats what I feared.
Thing is, cause it is rooted, it is out of warranty. I dont think I have a leg to stand on.
Its worth a try, they may not even check/notice that its rooted
Well.......
I managed to get it switched on. And decided to try and install Wildpuzzle as I had that on the phone before with no problems. And so all was well......
....untill just now.
Mobile went into sleep mode, and when I pressed the power button to get into it, black screen. Wouldnt come out of sleep mode. So had to pop battery again and after 10 mins, re booted it.
This seems to be the norm now. If it gets a chance to drop off into sleep mode, then I am stuck.
I am starting to pull my hair out.
Have just read on another thread that should try turning off auto rotation and auto brightness.
Fingers crossed this will work.
If the problem occurs throughout various ROMs it could well be hardware related. Flash an RUU (this will get rid of all traces of root) and return it
Will do.
Thanks
cant access cm7 rc2
any ideas why i cannot access or see any file in the website download.cyanogenmod.com regarding cm7 rc2 for buzz/wildfire?

[Q] Phiremod locked up

Help!!! Loaded phiremod on all 4 of our nooks yesterday, got them all tweeked and running great. I thought I adjusted the performance, per your recommendations, but looked today and they either reset or I didn’t do it. So I started doing them on all four. One on of them, as soon as I hit the Set on Boot, it locked up. It will boot, but it’s locked up and widgets all say problem loading widget. I tried rebooting through CWM thinking maybe it just needed a reset, but that hasn’t helped either. When powering off, I’m not getting the power off options, it just goes black. Any ideas??

Help! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly?

Ive read other threads about this but non seem to address how to fix this issue if you cant even get into your phone. As soon as I unlock my phone I get this message, I cant get to the settings, contacts, or anything? Is their a mode I can boot in besides doing a factory reset? Any ideas will be helpful.
This happened last night after I got off the phone with my girl, I remember she hung up, but I didnt, meaning I didnt press the hang up button, but the call seem to have disconnected. I go to bed, a little while later I go to look at my phone and notice that its on the Dell logo screen you see when it boots up? So I took the battery out, since I didnt feel like getting up and turning on the lights, I left the battery out over night; get up this morning, put the battery back in and bam, I get this message.
Geeksta, I had to do aa factory reset to clear it up. Still never read anywhere what causethat intermitted annoying message loop to begin with. My guess is some android process got changed and it require updating the os or factory reset to get it restored. Are you on the latest version or do you have a pending android update?
how can i make a backup before i do a factory reset. I cannot go in my dell, so i hav to make a backup from the pc?
The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly, this always jumps up the screen before i can do anything.
anyone an idea?..phone is not workable at the moment.
Last official rom.
Are you able to get into Streakmod Recovery & do a nandroid backup?

Phone just reboot and killed itself

Yesterday was listening to Pandora via headphones, and the phone reboot itself to the "device may be corrupt screen" when bootloader is unlocked. While rebooting, the screen shut off and now the phone is completely unresponsive. The phone was running the latest Pure Nexus Rom with a Substratum theme.
Similar experience for me just recently. Last Friday I was out doing Uber/Lyft and upon accepting a call in the Uber app my phone froze, shut off, and then bootlooped. I tried literally everything to restore my phone, including fastbooting a stock image but the phone continued to bootloop and then shut me out of TWRP. Have a refurbished one coming from Google today. Phone just nuked itself while running Benzo ROM, no clue why.
The only thing I recommend is calling Google and go thru their troubleshooting. When it doesn't work they'll send you a new one (you'll be charged for the device until you return yours) and start over. Crazy, I've never experienced anything like it.
Cheers and good luck.

yea seems strange, unfortunately I'm unable to do anything with fastboot as mine won't even boot into anything.
This happened to me as well. Phone just booted when to the corrupt screen and died. Obviously freaked me out. I held the power button down for a very long time and it booted back up. Please try that. Phone has been fine since then.
Thats scary. It didnt give any warnings (unusually high temps, glitches, random reboots)? Neither of you flashed anything other than PN in the days/hours leading up to the complete shutdown?
Im a bit paranoid since Im running the same rom. But everythings ok here.
