Problems booting

Since this morning, when I boot it will get stuck on that red eye screen. I've waited several minutes and it won't go on.
So I end up pulling the battery and usually that works. Sometimes I have to do this twice.
Not sure how to even diagnose this.

Are you rooted or completely stock?

Rooted. I just tried restoring a backup from 3 days ago and had the same problem. So I restored back to the latest. When it finally does boot, it seems to run great.
I have a backup from further back, just not sure it will make a difference. Might give that so shot too.

I really think it is booting all the way, and just doesn't stop displaying the boot animation.
The reason I think that is because at some point the power button makes the screen go on and off, and there is haptic feedback in the same places where my lock screen tabs are.
At any rate, and this sounds unbelievable, but I pulled the sd card out and it booted normally. I put the card back in, and now it seems to boot normally. Can't explain it.

rebooting problems

Ok. I am running CoreDroid V0.8 on my htc hd2. Everything is running great. The only problem is this is like my 4th time putting it on my phone. Reason being is that when my phone shuts off and I turn it back on, I can never get it to reboot back up. It gets stuck on the black htc screen and never comes up. Thus I have to remove battery and then reformat sd card and reinstall the Android. I need to know once and for all what to do to make sure I can reboot Android if ever I have to shut off my phone( i.e. system freeze, power loss, etc.)

Nook Color Won't Turn On

So I got my Nook Color a couple of days ago. I've been using CM7 off the SD card, but when I just went to turn it on nothing happens. I took the SD card out, still a no go. I even tried using a cwm from sd card thing, nada. The Nook doesn't turn on at all. any ideas?

Try plugging in the nook and leaving it for a little while. Sometimes that helps it reset itself.

Try holding down both the power and the nook button simultaneously for awhile untill it reboots sounds like the sod (sleep of death) hit you. Google it!

Have you tried rebooting your Nook? Hold the power button for 10 seconds or so, then release it and hold it again for a couple of seconds until the screen flashes white.

I just left it alone for a while and when I picked it up a few hours later it came on. It happened again today, I turned off the screen for a minute, went to turn it back on a and nothing happened. Just a black screen. Interestingly, it was still running though, because when I hit the volume keys the tone sounded. I just held down the power button till it turned off and then turned it back on and it booted right up. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Edit: I forgot to mention I'm now running CM7 from internal memory, so its not just instability from running it from SD

I was under the impression that in sleep of death the nook is inoperable, ie the volume keys wouldn't work. Is that inaccurate?

No, for some odd reason sometimes you can hear sound and the volume keys will work. Nothing else will.
To fix SoD: set up two profiles in tasker. One for wifi off when screen is off and one for wifi on with screen on.

tasker fix, good to know, had this happen the other day to my nook

Glad I came across this thread. I updated my ROM to CM7.1 earlier this week and have been enjoying it. Came home today and couldn't get my nook color to turn on. Was starting to panic that it had died. Thankfully it was the SoD and I got it back on.
Thanks for the quick tips on how to get it back up and running.

Note 4 Randomly Turned Off Won't Turn On Anymore

Hi everyone, after trying everything I could to fix this phone I don't know what to do anymore so I'm here asking for other options.
So the story is, I was just using my phone as I usually would that day and it just randomly turned off and won't turn back on anymore.
(it randomly turned off before a couple of times but it would always turn back on)
- It won't go into recovery mode or any other of the 'modes' (I tried all the different combinations of pressing the keys).
- It's not a battery issue as I've tried my battery on my brother's phone (he has a Note 4 too) and it worked fine and I tried his battery on mine and it wouldn't work.
- I tried the 'drain' method (removing the battery and holding the power button for a minute or more).
- I tried using multiple cables to charge my phone nothing worked.
I didn't drop my phone, wet it, root it or anything and it was working fine the day it happened until it just powered off by itself. When I plug it in my laptop it would make
a sound indicating I've plugged something in but nothing happens. It was version 5.1.1 model SM-N910F.
TLDR; Is there a way to somehow recover the files in the internal phone memory?

This is happening to me as well, also started in February. I'm suspecting a hardware issue. Tried it ALL but rooting. In the past 30 minutes my phone has booted and rebooted itself till it died. If someone can confirm it is a hardware issue. Maybe it's time to unite and get it fixed for free. ~Tamarnouche

Recovering data from a brain dead phone may not be possible, as it probably need some internal component replacement which may erase the data(Mostly). Have u tried connecting it to pc? Better give it to service immediately. Good Luck.

My phone has done exactly the same thing, happened in February too, initially it did the random freeze then started to reboot itself, went back to stock software and full wipe but no improvement; now it will only boot if I leave the battery out for a prolonged period, otherwise it doesn't respond to the power button at all.
I occasionally see MMC Read Fail on boot but not all the time so presumably the internal memory has a bad contact or is failing.
Can it be replaced?

I have the same problem with my Note 3. Only if I keep the battery out for a long (over 24 hours) time I can see the boot logo. So if you find a solution to this kindly don't forget to tag me, will really appreciate it.

I was wondering..
I came across this Forum group since I was looking for boot problems with my SM-N910T3
I hope flashing pit will resolve this..
I recently started to have some low level issue and was hoping it was partition/boot related and not hardware.
Randomly phone boot directly into Download mode with error;
ddi: mmc_read failed
Often I have to pull battery and hold down /power / home for 10 sec to boot up again.
Thanks

phone suddenly restart and turn on freez and restart !! and keeps on repeating that

so, guys, this is the second time this happens to me !!
suddenly my phone turns off and then restarts and after it finishes the restart and I enter the passwords and lock the device the device acts normal for seconds and then gets frozen then the notification light turns blue then green then the phone boots again !! and on and on !! I tried the following:
the safe mood !!
switching it to airplane mod !!
taking the SD card off also the sim card off!!
connecting it to the charger!
connecting it to the PC!
turning it off and wait a while then turning it on again!
nothing helped I was able to fix it through the PC companion but I lost everything apps, images, videos WhatsApp data etc
anyone has any idea what happened?
I'm running stock Android 8, up to date with the security patches, also those 2 events happened after the last update! I'm thinking that it may be related to them but I'm not sure!
any words of wisdom?

Hi - I had the exact same problem last week and had to fix (re-install) via PC companion. I was thinking it was due to something I did, but with couple of others reporting maybe it was due to the Feb update

Hi,
I was going through it and found this link https://www.technipages.com/why-does-android-randomly-restart
Mine happened when I tried to install a tempered glass protector using LOCA. The LOCA install didn't go well and that's when it started restarting randomly. I am not sure if the LOCA jammed the power button or water/ alcohol got inside. In fact I had a tough time trying to do a PC companion since the USB port was also messed up. After several tries - the USB opened up was recognized.
