Hello All,
Got a quick question. Attempted to flash a rom update on the nook color. Flashed it, successful, and it rebooted to nothing.
No splash, no boot animation. just black - unlit screen.
I know it's doing something as it's plugged into my computer it will try to install the driver , just fail.
Any idea?
Yes I have already tried rebooting it 8 times, and used the power, volume up , Home button.
Still cant get anything. Also tried to use the power button 15 seconds. I think i gots me a brick!

With the charging cable connected, did you try to hold both U and Power button for around 20 seconds?
Try this 2-3 times, if it doesnt work at first attempt. It should boot.
I would recommend making a clockwork boot SD card and attempt to flash something through there.

I have a rooted Rogers magic and dont know what happend...but its stuck in a boot loop. All it gets to is the "HTC MAGIC" screen and then the out of box image shows up and then it restarts and does this again and again.
I cant enter recovery or fastboot. ive tried the diff key combinations to boot but nothin works.
ANy help!!???
If you can't get into a recovery, or fastboot from my understandings you now have a very expensive paper weight.
Mine did the same, randomly or because i pressed some combination the phone booted again. Sometimes pressing backspace i enter the menu, pressing home+power... nothing.
One or two times pressing home+power enters the menu and then reboots by itself.
Any ideas?
It's happened to me once.
Does anything come up with your computer?
Can you access adb?
Try removing the battery then hold down the menu button.
While still holding menu put the battery back in.
The phone should start up. Keep holding the menu button until you are blue in the face (or for about 30 seconds or so) or until the phone boots.
If that doesn't work try the back button instead of the menu button like above.
If THAT doesn't work... then find a stack of papers and place them in front of a fan. Place your phone onto the stack of papers and let it sit...
Or try calling your provider because you might still be under warranty.
ok guys it on now.
Its working but for some reason it wont read my sd card :S
turns out my bro flashed a recovery he shouldnt hav so it kept rebootin evenwhen i tried entering recovery. i erased it thinkin that ill flash a new recovery...but it wont recognize my sd card. ive tried 3 diff cards...but nothin works.
even in the rom, i get the notification: "SD Card has been removed. Insert a new SD card to increase your device storage."
i cant get the card to work HELP??
........how do i even flash anything without the card?
You can flash through fastboot
Sent from my Epic myTouch 3G using XDA app.
Flash through fastboot like he said and it should read your SD card with a new ROM.
any links to a tutorial on how to flash through fastboot??
thanks in advance!!!

Nope. There are no links or tutorials at all anywhere on the web. They do not exist. Except for maybe this one:

... and about 5,539 more. But yeah... other than those... the answer is no.

It you have bootloop - remove battery you turn phone off. Wait a few minutes and place battery back.
Then try flash turn phone on by pressing and holding Back + Power (fastboot-mode)
Write first five rows here (all symbols are important).
It you will have problems, try to load phone into other modes:
Home + Power - recovery-mode
VolumeDown + Power - hboot-mode

Too bad
It seems like phone flashed by faulty hboot or radio (uncompleted download or something else)
Try disconnect phone from pc or adapter and remove battery for 10-15 minutes
May be it cancels this process.
To restore phone you need to run hboot-mode or fastboot-mode - if you don't then only JTAG can help

If the phone is on, hold power button and vol down untill it shuts off, then without letting go of power button, move finger from vol down and hold vol up (so youll now be holding vol up and power). Hold the buttons until the samsung galaxy s4 splash screen comes on (with white text before the boot screen). You should be able to boot into recovery and restore your backup.
I know restoring your backup didn't work the first time but you should try again. If you have any other roms on your sd card that you can flash from recovery, try those if the backup doesn't restore again

you are holding the power button still even after you let go of vol down correct? Does the phone restart if you hold vol down and power for about 20 seconds (without the finger moving steps)?

Ok.... so I take it your phone does restart. If your phone restarts, it should be able to boot into recovery. Play around with the timing of the recovery button presses and try to get back into recovery. Do a battery and sim card pull. Leave them out for a minute, replace them and try to boot into recovery after replacing them.
If none of that works, I would odin flash the stock firmware and start over with it. Thats just me.

Good news, i left the cellphone charging all night long, then i entered cwm, everything fine, and i restored the backup...
But still, i want the 4.3 rom, What could I have done wrong? Maybe is because i didn't root the phone after?

If you want, try re-flashing it...but your really not missing out on much (major battery drain, no root, no new features). Im not sure what went wrong but its definitely not because you didn't root it after flashing.
Good to hear you got the issue resolved though
So I have done some searching but nothing I've tried help or not the same issue.
I was trying to root everything seemed to go fine. Phone reboots and now all it does is goes to a screen with blue letter at the top left that says recovery and then reboots. I've tried to power button home button volume key combo same thing happens. Phone keeps looping, so I pull the battery. As soon as I put it back in it starts looping again, even without me trying to turn it on.
Am I screwed? I have tried adb but it cant find the device, I assume because it keeps rebooting. Does Samsung have something like the HTC RUU or would that not matter because of the boot loop?
Any help would be great!
Thanks

If you cannot get into download or recovery mode by using the
Home+VolumeDown+PowerButton or Home+VolumeUP+PowerButton
then you will need to purchase a "USB JIG" from an online store or from
eBay, it's very inexpensive $5.00 or less shipped.
You plug it into the USB port of the phone after the phone is fully
powered down. After doing that it takes less than 3 seconds for
the phone to go into "download mode" automatically.
Once its in download mode and you unplug the jig you can Odin
flash the official stock firmware/rom and have a fresh start.
I have been using a JIG for years on many models of Samsung Android
phones and it works GREAT! It even worked perfectly on a friends HTC.
Good luck!

Hello,
I'm on LG G2 Stock Rom on Kit Kat (4.4.2). The phone is rooted but no custom recovery as I just need "root" to run Titanium backup.
Yesterday, I attempted to update the 1 XML file to increase speaker volume. Upon restart the phone will stuck on LG logo and does nothing.
I can access download mode. So now, i'm downloading LG Flash Tool and KDZ file for my phone to flash all back to stock.
The question is now: how do I turn off the phone? Pressing power button will simply restart the phone - it never goes to off.
Another question: if I don't install any custom recovery, is there any stock recovery installed? When I attempted to go to recovery (by pressing volume down + power method), I was presented with Factory reset questions. I clicked OK twice and then Android logo appears (it seems like it's attempting to really do a factory reset) and then phone reboots.
If I can go to stock recovery, I hope I can access the storage inside and redo what I did yesterday.
Anyone can help? Or share some knowledge?
Thanks
The latest software upgrade was installed by using LGMobile support tool. I'm back to stock and finish with ioRoot.
Now, going to use AutoRec to install recovery (better to have custom now, so if this happens again, I have a way to access my phone data).
No answers given but it's no longer urgent now. Still if anyone found a way to off the phone when boot looping other than waiting for battery to run dry, by all means, please reply the thread.
Thanks.

Unplug the USB cable if it's plugged.
Hold power button for like 30 seconds straight.
To turn off phone ,just push volume down and power button same time for like 7-10 sec, it will be like restart , but keep them pressed until screen shuts off again (it will take less then 1 sec). Thats all

I didn't time 30 seconds, but I did press power button for a long time. Is this method for when you can use the phone? Mine is during boot loop.

I can't say for sure now, since I have my phone backed-on. But I sort of press these buttons for a long time at the beginning (when I wasn't really sure how to go to recovery mode). But good to know about this - (for next time ).
thanks both!
Only method i know to completely shut down phone in any situation is what i already wrote in last post.

Agreed.
it happen to me too when I try to install MIUI ROM.
Pull off USB cable and long press power the power button
Thanks. I'll remember this, if I got unlucky and stuck in booth loops.
For now, I installed recovery, so hopefully if this happens, I can still access my internal folder and do the require changes.
After I tried to flash an update package (Extracted update.app via HuaweiUpdateExtractor to zip file) the screen just went off. When I press power button or any other button combinations all I see is the LED blinking in red and in green for some seconds and after that nothing happens. The screen doesn't turn on and I can't enter Rescue Mode.
My Phone is about 2 months old and now I will have to buy a new one Well, I had a great time with it
Now I'm considering to buy the Honor 5X or OnePlus X

It doesn't boot at all. The Display isn't turning on and I tried everything, all buttons with and without USB connection. I seems like it isn't even trying to boot.
