My Nexus just froze... - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im running the stock ROM, rooted, wanted to back it up before I install Paranoid Android, restarted to bootloader, chose Recovery Mode (mine is CWM, flashed with mskip's toolkit), and suddenly it froze on the unlocked bootloader's screen ("Google" and the opened lock underneath). Hardware buttons don't work, the computer doesn't see the tablet. Is there a way to restart it and fix the problem? Thanks for your help.
Edit: Solved it, long pressing the power button for about 10 secs restarted it...

Nexus 10 won't boot - solved

I tried (clean) flashing a droid concepts build over on droid-hive a little while ago and everything went ok when flashing. I tapped reboot system in twrp and the screen went black and didn't boot. I can't get it to boot consistently either into the os or into fastboot. It'll occasionally let me into recovery and I tried restoring a backup and also just rebooting from recovery and it won't boot at all. When it is plugged up, it'll show the charging icon when I tap the power button like it does when the screen is off. I've tried everything I can think of. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit - I finally got it into fastboot and I flashed the stock google image. Its working now.

N4 Semi-Brick? Can I recover?

Hi,
I have a N4 that was new but the screen cracked on it and eventually the battery died as well (wouldent hold a charge). I got the battery and screen replaced but as soon as this happened I could not boot into any rom. I had twrp installed but everytime I tried to install a rom such as CM it would install but would stay stuck in the boot loader. I then used NRT to try and kick it out of bootloader and I tried several different stock firmwares, 5.01, 4.4.4, and 4.2. The only rom that was able to get past the boot animation was 4.2 it went to the welcome screen to choose a language but I could not select anything via touch screen. In that screen I could lower and raise the volume via the rockers and turn the screen on and off. I had twrp installed and the touchscreen worked fine in twrp. I also tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/tutorial-how-to-unbrick-n4-t2347060 and it also let me get into the developer firmware but of course it is encrypted so I could do nothing. The phone has not had contact with water etc. Do I have any other options? Can I get some type of diagnostic such as logcat or something?
Thanks!

Nexus 10 powers off during boot screen

Hey all,
Just some details before the background.
I was running a stock with a unlocked bootloader for a while now. I basically only use my nexus now to watch netflixs and HBOgo. Got the tablet over four years ago.
This morning after it's nightly charge I went to unlock it and it froze up. I rebooted it, noticed the date was off (Jan 1st) and froze after I unlocked it. Reboot again, it made it to the screen where it was optimizing my apps but the screen starting flickering and having artifacts, and powered off. Now it will power itself off 5 or so seconds into the boot animation.
I've tried going into recovery via the bootloader but when I select it and hit the power button it just turns it self off. I then used the nexus toolbox to reflash a stock rom (along with a factory reset), and TWRP. I tried booting up again and same thing. I then went into TWRP and start troubleshooting, but the screen is starting to flicker and have artifacts, then powers off.
Is the hardware dead on this?
Sorry for the jumbled mess of details, i've been bouncing around trying to troubleshoot/fix this.

PIT files
My nexus 10 has the boot loop problem and I think I have been left with the only option of Re-Partition but I need the PIT file. Can anybody help or provide this file?
I have tried everything else (fastboot, adb, temporary custom recoveries, Nexus Root Toolkit) with no success.
Is the battery original? If so, it's possible the battery could be reaching its end.

My zuk self bricked and then self unbricked

Dear friends of xda,
let me say something first. i'm a possessor of a brand new zuk z1 since a week. from day 1 i've rooted it with kingroot and then switched to SuperSu because i didn't succed installing adb drivers on my laptop.
so i'm stock. no custom recovery no unblocked bootloader, just root permissions.
a week went by with no problem. just a couple of freeze here and there. nothing much.
today i was playing on my bed and suddenly the phone got really really hot. everything is frozen. i can only drag down the status bar. but if i press some icon or button nothing happpen. Ok i'm like well another freeze. i press and hold power button. screen get black. phone vibrate. aaaaaaaand i'm stuck at zuk screen. really?
after searching the web i tried to enter in recovery mode. after many tries i succed. so i tried to do a factory reset. it asked me if i'm sure, as i press yes the screen goes black for a while and then the phone reboot in recovery again. mmm strange. so i tried to wipe cache. it happen the same as before. it did not even asked me if i was sure. so i pressed 'power off' thinking that a real boot would repair the situation but no. my phone decided to self brick. ok. i throw in the towel.
so i decided to plug the charger in and went to do stuff.
when i come back home 3 hours later. i softly press the power button and the phone says it is at 99% . i tried to boot it up. and guess what? it boots normally. like nothing never happened.
so. what do you think is happened? i've some background but i've never seen something like this.
could be a problem of overheating? what should i do now? and what if it happens again?
sorry for the wall of text.
tl;dr: rooted phone get really hot. freeze. and after powering it off went in bootloop. nothing could be done in stock recovery. after some hour it booted up normally. what to do now?

SM-T510 Possibly flashed wrong TWRP, stuck in a bootloop now and can't access download or recovery mode

I was recently flashing what I thought was a newer version of TWRP for my SM-T510, but now I realize that I probably flashed an incompatible image. Everything went fine for a couple of days until I needed to boot into TWRP again, the first time I've done this since I flashed it a couple of days ago. Upon rebooting, I got as far as the unlocked bootloader warning screen, pressed the power button to pass it, and it immediately rebooted and started the process again. This time I skipped pressing power and chose to wait out the warning, and it rebooted again. Leaving the tablet alone, it just goes through this bootloop cycle continuously.
I've tried holding the power + vol combo to get into download mode but it just causes the tablet to skip the unlocked bootloader warning and reboot again. I've also tried letting it loop overnight to drain the battery and try again in the morning to no success. The tablet only begins the bootloop process all over again as soon as it is plugged in.
Is there anything I can still do to get it out of this bootloop?
I have the same problem and I've just solved it. Holding down both volume up & volume down at the same time, and plugging it in puts the device into download mode.
