My transformer was running fine this morning, it had something like 8% when i woke up and used it until it died. I plugged it in to charge and it booted fine. I unlocked it, powered off and went on with my day.
I get home about an hour ago and now it's such in a boot loop. It first shows Eee Pad, then the bios boot animation (it's running prime 2.1.1), followed by the Android guy with spinning gears and back to the nips boot animation.
Don't know why this would happen all of a sudden. The last thing I flashed was the prime 2.1.1 patch, and that was back when it was first released. Can't think of any apps that require root that i have installed recently.
I tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache via recovery along with repairing permissions. Also reinstalled prime 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 patch and still boot looping.
Any suggestions? I would do a logcat but I'm currently at my gf's place.
I'd like to keep a factory reset as the last resort, so i would like to exhaust all options before doing so.

I did the last "miner bug fix" update and it went OK. On the next reboot a day later I got the tab looping at Samsung and the animation at booting. The tab is not rooted. I had to go to recovery mode and use wipe cache from there in order to have it running again. Today it happened again. Anybody has the same problem, or is there e fix for this? Help will be much appreciated.
I didn't get that issue but I'm also not rooted and I feel like my tab has gotten a bit glitchy; it freezes sometimes, for example, which never happened to me before the update
I guess not to many people have my problem.
Mine did not even boot after the update, had to wipe cache & dalvik. Update didnt install either, but i'm not on a stock Rom & kernel.

The tab was smooth when I first got it. Now it 2 and half pages of apps and some widgets, it is not as smooth and many times I have to wait for 3-4 sec, so it can react to my command.
Hi,
I have a nexus 10, rooted running latest nightly CM (19/12) and has been running fine without issues.
I turned it on this morning and its sat at the Google boot logo (and doesnt go any further).
I booted to recovery and did a reflash, wiped cache, wiped dalvic etc ... no joy.
tried a complete factory reset still no joy, is not booting past the google screen.
what next?
thanks
Dan.

Sounds like its something in the /system or /boot partitions, maybe. You might need to download the official, completely stock N10 firmware that the device came with and flash that to fix the problem. You can probably just google search for 'stock Nexus 10 firmware' and find a download link somewhere. Of course, if you have a backup file of before you flashed the CM nightly, then you could just restore that and it would work in much the same way don't panic, there is always a way
I got seemingly the same problem. Was copying a movie to the tablet and it crashed as usual. Probably ****ed up the file system or something. Now im traveling for the first time since I bought the tablet and it doesn't work. Grrrreat. :/
Edit: while I was sulking on the way to the airport (actually I wasnt sulking as I just got a new job 20 minutes ago yay) the tablet decided to boot up just fine when I wasnt watching.
Okay so I finally got my shiny new Nexus 32GB a couple days ago. Rooted it last night no problem. This morning I flashed Trinity Alpha4. worked great but my OC/governer/etc settings wouldn't stick. So I tried to flash the latest build of Faux Kernel. After flashing it got stuck in a boot loop. So I got back into Recovery and flashed Trinity back on again. Now it won't boot at all. After the splash screen the device completely locks up at a blank black screen. Went back to Recovery, wiped cache/dalvik, reflashed Trinity. After going through the "Android has been upgraded, optimizing apps" thing, it got stuck on "starting apps". After a couple min. I forced it to reboot, and again just gets stuck at a blank screen. I apparently completely forgot to do a Nandroid backup which I realized when I tried to restore it back lol.
Anywho, any thoughts on getting the thing to boot? Bricking it 2 days after I got it home is not my idea of a good time.

You might try and flash the stock kernel which should not allow any under/over clocking or under/over volting. Otherwise flash back to stock using the manual way here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 or download the Nexus 7 toolkit and use it to do the same.
Try WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. It has an option to go back to stock if you're soft-bricked.
Well I just did a factory restore/wipe (because Im SO looking forward to setting everything up again...) and it made zero difference. I'll try the stock kernel if someone could point me in the right direction to find a copy of it.
NVM found it. I'll give it a shot.
Ummmm okay then. I had my N7 turned off while looking for a solution to this fiasco. I picked it up so I could flash the stock kernel, and it had turned itself back on. Not only that, but it was fully booted up. Granted it's back to the initial setup after doing a factory restore, but there we go. It automagically fixed itself. Now to spend a couple hours putting everything back how it was. Yay.
Protip children: Always. Be. Nandroiding.

Exactly same here, I cannot boot to recovery mode or anything. Its either switched off or just shows google on screen.

So tl;dr version - i was using my tablet, saw an update to magisk, installed it, now it boots to black screen while running sambones rom
[SM-P580] [BQK1] SaMBoNeS
TWRP 3.2.3.0 --> 3.3.1.0
longer story:
i was trying to get a game to run, it wasnt...and realized it has been a while for a restart, so i checked to see if anything needs to be updated and saw magisk needed an update. i didnt note what version it was before but it was a version or two earlier than what it was trying to install.
rebooted to blackscreen no samsung logo
have tried restarting a dozen times, booted to TWRP, tried to force normal system boot through the UI, nothing.
I tried installing a new kernal [SiriKernel], it made it to the samsung logo, waited 15 - 20 minutes and it never made it past. restored a backup using TWRP
updated TWRP to 3.3.1.0, still no luck.
i had this problem a long time ago, and cannot figure out how i fixed it....it may have fixed itself but it isnt this time. any advice would be appreciated. I am trying to avoid wiping and starting again if at all possible because the problem seems familiar. also trying to stick to a rom for use with adaptive storage. if i do have to wipe if that can be done on a newer stock OS that's fine as well but last time i messed with this tablet it wasnt
