Hi everybody! so there is serious problem with my NST...
My nook doesn't boot - I get only screen with floating points(it can longs for hours)...
I haven't root my device, only installed last update(it worked great for a month after this)
So the story how I get this:
I put my nook in my backpack(nook was in sleeping mode) and take it with me... it was in my backpack whole day and in the evening when i took it i saw floating points...
Already tried to restore factory image, procedure goes well but it doesn't help...
So any ideas what i have to do next?
Thank's everbody for answers!
P.S. Sorry for my poor English
Are the points moving (I assume because you say floating)? Sounds like a screen problem but without ADB can't say for sure, because that way could take screenshot and see what is going on in the software.

yeah, points are moving, and from time to time screen is refreshing... don't know how to take screenshots, device is not rooted so ADB is not awailable, shoud i root it?
Thank's everybody for reading this topic, I already have solved my problem...
I simply erase settings and user data by pressing lower scrolling buttons and power button, when device was turned all... now everything fine
CAn you take a picture of it?
3-finger-press and hold: n, power, and one or two of the front buttons. This made mine reboot and got me out of a similar situation.
Good luck. A reboot will allow you to boot from SD.

Hi,
New to the forum and looking for a bit of guidance.
My M5000 will not power up, even to the Orange Logo etc. However if you try a hard reset the screen comes up "press 0 to reset "etc and if you try to go to bootloader that comes up with serial. When you insert the usb cable in bootloader it flicks from serial to usb but can't be accessed on the PC even though it shows up as mobile device.
When on charge the redlight doesn't come on unless you press the reset button and then it only flashes for a second.
It could be something simple like the battery is gone etc but I am a bit lost and could do with some advice.
Thanks in advance.
I hate it when you only get half a story. You are stuck in bootloader and it didn't get there all on it's own. Did you try to update the rom and something went wrong? Were you buggering about with it? Or something different.
Look tell us EXACTLY what you did to get it into this state as getting it out of it has many different answers depending on what you did.
Now fess up else you'll probably do more damage to it when suggestions arrive on this thread that may be incorrect because we don't know how it got like this in the 1st place.

Not half the story, the only reason I got to bootloader was because I was trying to see if a reinstall of the software would make any difference. There has been no mods to this unit at all. Was working fine for a year and a half then these problems started happening.
At first I thought it may be a problem with the power button and that is part of the reason I got into bootloader to see if the power button actually worked!
Long story short - phone has suddenly stopped turning on apart from factory reset and bootloader.
OK first thing is to get it OUT of bootloader and see what happens next.
Read this. I suggest method 2 at the bottom of the page as it's a lot easier.

Thanks, will try those.
Hi everyone, I got my desireZ back in November and it has been working perfect ever since, i have it rooted using VISIONary and everything was perfect until today. The phone was in my pocket and i was lsning to music, i looked at my phone and all i saw was a white line going from the top of the screen to the bottom, i pressed the power button to turn of the screen, then i pressed it again and now all I see is a black screen with the back light on.
I have tried to soft reset the phone, took out the battery sim card and left the phone for a while, came back turned it on and still the same thing black screen with the back light on... The touch screen works fine i still hear the phone receiving txt msges and emails, i can even receive phone calls, and answer them by sliding my finger across the screen like usual.
I am trying to do a hard reset of the phone but i can't do that cause even when i turn on the phone while holding the volume down key i still dont see anything on the screen
any help would be appreciated.
EDIT - after trying to open the keyboard a couple of times, now the screen turns on white... when i press the power button to turn of the screen and turn it back i see a fading effect where the screen slowly turn on from left to right (fades from black to white) and then stays white till i press the power button again....
Since i have rooted my phone, i dont belive i can take it to bell to fix it the way it is... and since i can't see the screen to perform a hard reset to remove the root (i dont have s-off) ... does anyone know of another method for doing this? maybe with connecting to a computer?

There is another thread on the forums about someone having the same issue. I believe there is a solution using adb on your PC to connect to the phone.
Not sure how 'tight' your service provider is, but if the screen is dead, and you are still under your warranty period, they may simply swap the device for you after doing some 'basic' tests and dump it into the bucket that goes back to the factory for refurb. The fact that it is rooted won't be discovered until much later, if ever, so it may not be an issue.
Good luck!

Any idea on the location of this thread, can't find it anywhere.
I am suffering the exact symptoms as the OP with my Desire Z which is rooted with visionary rom flashed - I would really like to know how to use adb to resolve this !
Cheers,

Hello everybody,
first I have to say that I´m from germany and I´m sorry for bad english .
But no my problem:
Yesterday I tried out my new Nexus 7, everything worked fine, no problems...
Than I had the bad idea, too restart my device.
So I turned it of, trying to restart it -and yes you´re right- it doesn`t turn on again.
First I checked out the internet for information and I found out I´m not the only one.
I also found out that I don´t have the same problems as the most, cause I tried to start the device with pressing on 40 seconds or on+volume down....and all these tricks.
The next step I was trying, was too open the nexus backcover and disconnect the accu but the result was the same :
The Nexus doesn´t start!
But the funniest thing is that my PC regionise the Nexus and I can read/write on the internal storage.
So what do you mean ?
I dont want too send it back(cause it´s a bit of complicated - I had bought it in Ebay.de from somebody out of austria ) ...
Thanks for your help. I hope my Text isn´t too bad at all.
Best regards
Phil
It sounds like your screen has failed. The PC would not see your internal storage if it were not on. Maybe you could use one of the toolkits to try and restore a factory image in case it is operating system related.

Thank you for the quick response .
Do you think I can fix the screen by myself? Maybe it´s an connection problem and not the screen itself ? The Nexus 7 Toolkit I tried out a little bit, but its not easy to do anything with it, because at some tasks I have to do some input by the Nexus and I can`t see anything.
Another thing is why did the display failed by turning on again and not when it´s on ?
I hope I can fix it today :crying: I just dont want to stare at it, instead of playing with it.
Phil
Hold the power button for a full 30-35 seconds. Make sure it's plugged in, just in case the battery may have drained to much.
Should restart.
Nexus is running. I cant believe. )))
Thanks for the tip tootbrain, but I tried this out over and over again without any result.
Then I want To show my father the problem. I pressed the button just to demonstrate, but then it works.
Another thing was, first the screen had very low brightness (cant set it up with the brightness settings ) and after one hour suddenly it had became bright. And i didnt do anything.

maybe when you disconnected and reconnected the screen you may have fixed a previously broken connection, or even given it a little power jolt that got it working again? from your description of brightness staying low then slowly goin up to normal use....maybe you just breathed some life into it.:good:
Hey everyone,
First of all thank you for taking a look in my thread, this is my second post here in this forum but, I just have to tell you guys, I've been around since 2012 and you guys rock!
Anyway enough of chit chat, so I had my phone pretty much hard bricked, thanks to some tutorials I've finally found a way to get it back to life BUT ( there's always a but ), it isn't like before, everything was working very nicely after the fix, the Power button stopped working, the volume rockers are still fully functional but the power button isn't. So I thought "f*ck this, I gotta buy a new flex assembly", that's what I did, it arrived today, so I got to work and put it all together with the new button, but for my surprise it is EXACTLY de same as before, so it seems like it has nothing to do with the flex assembly/buttons itself but something more like motherboard or something..
Have any one of you guys had this issue? By the way another very interesting thing is that the buttton "still gives signal" since if I press on it, it doesn't do anything even with the phone off BUT, if I have the phone turned on, and I press it for 5+ seconds , it shutdowns the phone as it should! So why isn't it working when I do a press, but if I hold it works?
By the way my phone when died even the partition table got corrupted, so I even had to redo that could it have anything to do with it?
Oh and the basic tips of putting the phone in Download Mode and fully revert to stock didn't work, already did it many times since I brought it back to like..
Regards, and thank you for reading this LONG post and spending your time with me :silly:
Anyone got any clue please?..

Hi, i has been a long time until you wrote this topic, but now, in 2018, i got the same problem that you.
I bricked the phone, unbricked with some xda's tutorials, install a kdz image and system got ok, but the damn power button not work.
It work on a very specific moment that is when the phone is on and i press the button, after 5 seconds the phone turn off, but none menu appears, it just turn off. Besides, it won't work to turn on the device. In this case, i aways need to put the cable and when the LG log appears I must remove (if not, the battery symbol is shown, and the device not turn on).
I wonder if you were able to fix your phone or someone of xda had this problem.
Thanks
Nope never got it fixed just moved on and bought another device, besides that is now a outdated device..
Hi ,
I recently had a bad time getting our of the DFU mode, had to open the hand set, move things around and hoping to get through this all, now that the handset is alive again, the Back and Recent Capacitive buttons are not working, however the Home button is working fine.... I then proceeded to unlock the boot loader and loaded the Vortex rom but it still has not fixed my phone, so is this something which i screwed up during my dissembling of the phone or can this still be salvaged??

I would try and open it again to look and see if anything is loose with the connectors for the capacitive buttons.

I think maybe on the side where the battery is resting. I'll have to go take a look again to confirm but I'm in a lecture at college right now so when I have time I'll come back and confirm it.

I would be grateful !
I think it hasn't got a dedicated connector, it might be the same connector as the screen. Maybe seeing JerryRigEverything's video would be better though

I'm not sure if Vortex ROM has this setup, however did you try the button swap in settings? I have seen this happen before with a teardown but haven't seen a solid solution.
