Someone gave this to me to figure out how to get it to JB.
Well, it was stock HC and worked great. no problems, he flashed the ICS that lenovo offered and didnt realize that it wiped everything including the play store.
So I went ahead and nvflashed the CM10 Version 2 on it, as the new V6 isnt in nvflash format. (sucks).
Well it got all the way through and the battery died at the cyanogen boot screen. So i had to go get the charger from him (didnt charge from USB.) and plug it in. let it charge a little bit
Well it booted up, but noticed the home button did NOT work anymore, and the wifi was dead now. Never finds anything, doesnt connect to anything.
So i tried downloading stock images, tried all the hanning things, for what little he has left on the hosting site, etc... and absolutely cannot restore wifi and home button. Also since the home button quit, CWM isnt usable. So i cant flash any CWM images, impossible as it requires the home button to respond. so trying the keylayout fix is pointless because of the chicken and the egg syndrome. I tried all the tricks like holding the button while powering into normal mode, or recovery. no change. Same deal. its just dead jim.
Once i put the factory HC back on, the Wifi did the same thing. and home didnt work still. Took it back to the lenovo JB which is what it was at when I got it, still no WIFI. but it just stays stuck on turning on.... And still, no home button.
I am at a loss.... any ideas? Everything worked before this whole fiasco started.
after trying to get into CWM at least 20 times, one time it DID finally recognize the home button just that once. So i was able to flash on V6 but it made no difference in operation on home button or wifi.
So, I got the key patch and booted back into CWM, again lost the home button. it only worked 1 time after a million tries. I wonder if there are multiple hardware versions? and i got one of the odd ones?
It requires the flash_old and oldboot files in order to take it to stock. new craps out.

I'm not sure about your WiFi problem, but I heard if you restart the tab and hold the home button while its restarting and after the lenovo screen goes away you can let go. That might work. Do it even if you're booting into CWM

I have tried that trick. It only worked the 1 time out of maybe 500000.
Wifi, the Stock HC gets stuck on Turning on. All the rest of the ROMs will turn the wifi on, but the scan is empty. and it wont connect to nothing.
Edit: Nevermind on the WiFi, its just really really weak. If i walk closer to the router it finally picks it up. I am a dumbass. My ancient g1 works great with 3 out of the 5 bars. But the Home button problem is extremely elusive.

Yeah, thats the one thing I hate about this tab is the weak WiFi strength. I've never had any problems with the home button but I've heard the people have had luck using that trick. Wish you luck

Had my Verizon 7.7 i815 since 4-30 and love it except for one issue - it reboots at least
once a day usually when its connected to the charger.
I need help figuring out if this is a hardware issue so I can just exchange it or if is
software/other issue that I can resolve myself.
When it reboots it goes to a black screen with a single white dot in the center.
It is playing the reboot jingle when this happens.
Sometimes it will bootloop and I have to press the power button for a few seconds to
reset the tab.
Honeybar is installed and AdwLauncherEx is the launcher.
I have tried booting to stock recovery and clearing the cache and did a factory reset - didnt help.
The tab is rooted.
I also removed the Sandisk 16gb microsdhc card after a reboot at 5 am because I had read about users who were having issues with their tabs until removing or switching out their sd cards. The tab went without rebooting after that for 19 hours until I installed
Hidebar. After installing hidebar the tab rebooted twice within a minute so these two instances may be because of that app. I uninstalled it after that and went back to
Honeybar.
I have only experiened a white dot reboot when trying to swap the phone.apk (it was a never ending reboot). I otherwise haven't had it reboot on me. I don't use any bar hiding apps.

Just to be clear my tab was having the reboot issue long before
I installed hidebar - I only installed hidebar tonight and have
owned the tab for a week.
I am however able to cause the reboot consistently with hidebar.
Well the reboots started again after almost an entire weekend reboot free.
Going to exchange it at Verizon for another 7.7 tonight.
Good luck! hopefully the new one is error free.
I've had the same issue with mine, also a vz 7.7.
It was happening in a loop the other day and I managed to capture a video of the entire sequence.
I don't actually think this is a reboot but instead seems to be more of a screen and radio lockup.
I get the little dot in the middle of the screen. After 20 seconds or so the tab goes back to the lock screen. Once unlocked it has to re-connect to either Verizon or Wifi.
I tried disabling the wifi and 3g/4g networks and this seemed to improve the situation but yesterday I was able to get it to do the same thing with the radio's disabled so probably not chip related.
I'm still within my return window I think. Seriously considering returning the thing mainly due to this problem and the lack of ICS.
Had a GT8.9 previously and even though the screen isn't quite as nice it was a pretty great tab and cost half as much *and* can access the awesome AOKP ICS rom.

Yep, development for this tab is non-existent at the moment.
I'm stickin' it out tho and hoping for CM9 sooner or later.
Same here. I can't find a pattern to what triggers it. The first time i was installing a bunch of apps from my computer via Google Play (not tethered to PC). I pull my microsd and sim and it continues for several cycles. Did a bunch of the stuff you did also w/ clearing the cache and actually the first time i couldn't get it out of the loop (it would actually get into the desktop where it looks like it would be ok, then suddenly screen w/ the white dot in the middle and looping again). Never got close to depleting the built-in storage, so that's not the factor.
Sometimes I can get it to stop by turning it off by holding power down and turning it back on again. It doesn't happen a lot, but it's freakin annoying when it starts.
I don't have honeybar, but am running ADW.
Wow, good to know others who are going through the same issue...I thought I was the only one! I still have the reboot loop issue even after performing a hard reset. For me, the reboot loop only occurs when I'm on a cellular connection. If I'm on wifi or on airplane mode, it doesn't happen. I'm well past the exchange/return policy so this is extremely irritating.
Personally, the most frustrating thing is that my tab will be fully charged at the start of my day, then in my bag for the morning while I'm at work and then, when I take it out to use it, the battery is completely drained because of the reboot loop!!!
I'm hoping an update (ICS?) will fix the issue but I'm not holding my breath for it...
Same issue here. I am rooted, and originally thought the reboot was from Gesture Control app (awesome app!) when hiding navi bar. But after reading this thread, I'm not so sure.
I've only had the reboot loop once, here is my setup when it happened....
-had just unplugged from charger after full charge
-Mobile data was off, Wifi was set to sleep....never when plugged in..
-The device kept rebooting, so I powered off, went into recovery, wiped cache. I also turned off Gesture Control app functions (not sure if this was necessary however). This seemed to stop the reboot loop.
Would be nice if we could keep gathering info on the conditions that cause this, and potentially find a solution. It sucks having a dead tablet because of this issue.
My 7.7 does the same thing. I don't use the tab constantly, but I do notice the reboot on a fairly regular basis. Same symptoms as everyone above, except for me it doesn't go into a loop, it just reboots once with the white dot and then comes back fairly quickly, so not really a full reboot. I don't see the Verizon & Samsung splash screens, just the white dot then the login screen.
Mine is not rooted, has the stock ROM, and does not have any UI enhancing apps or mods. It's pretty much stock other than having applications installed, and nothing that really runs in the background because I have Advanced Task Killer kill auto kill every 30 minutes.
Not that big of an issue for me right now, but would definitely like to see it resolved.
gawd! It doesn't happen a lot, but when it does it's friggin annoying. Yes, it's the white dot and doesn't show the full bootup splash, kinda just goes to the desktop again seems ok for a minute and then boom- black screen w/ dot in the middle and it starts over again.
This last bout was pretty bad and it didn't respond to shutting it completely down by holding the power button and letting it boot again, which has sometimes fixed this in the past when it's looping like this.
Can't tell what is causing it, at first i thought maybe a live wallpaper, the 64GB sandisk microsd card, or a faulty sim (sometimes my tablet says SIM not inserted, even if it is). I tried changing all of those but it still happens. I haven't found a pattern of usage or other type of trigger to make it do this though.
I've only ever experienced this when I tried adding in the mms and dialer app from the GSM 7.7. Otherwise my tab has been rock solid.

I have been running CM7 on my Nook Color successfully for about 6 months now, but there is an ongoing issue that drives me nuts. Any help is appreciated. The problem is that, occasionally (about 4-5 times a week), the Nook will go to screen timeout and then not be able to come back out with any combination of buttons. The "n" button, power button, volume buttons, etc. all have absolutely no effect whether you press and release or hold down. The only way to get things back is to hold down the power button for 8-10 seconds and release...then hold the power button down again until the screen flashes and the green Cyanogen logo comes up. This, to me, is forcing it to shut down and then rebooting, though I can't see what's going on onscreen until the reboot. Then it will boot normally and work like normal......until the next blackout.
This happens even if the battery meter is fully charged, mid-way, or getting low...makes no difference. It will also happen no matter what the screen was when it timed out (home screen, app screen, etc.). Any ideas?

This is Sleep of Death (SOD). Well known issue. It happens when you have wifi set to stay on all the time. When the screen turns off and the nook goes into deep sleep, sometimes wifi and deep sleep get tangled up and you can't turn the screen back on. Only solution is to change your wifi setting or get a patched wifi module and flash that to your system. If you want a link to that patched file just ask and I will post it.
Edit: here it is:

Thanks for the solution
I guess I wasn't using the magic keywords to find the problem online. Thank you so much for the solution and link.
@leapinlar: Do we know if that fix will work with mrg666's new kernel?
It still reports 2.6.32.9 in about tablet but I was under the impression that was because he was too tired to change it that night.
In my case I'm just happy to set wifi to turn off when the screen turns off, (I hate, hate, double hate, loath entirely when a device I've put to sleep trys to get my attention).

The patch only works on 2.6.32.9 kernels. I don't know anything about his new kernel. Just backup your existing twlan_drv.ko in /system/lib/module by renaming it .bak before flashing, and if it does not work restore your backup.

Yeah, I did that last night and didn't get an SOD but that really doesn't tell us much. I'll try to remember to take this over to his thread.

Well, if you flashed it and wifi still works, it is compatible. On the CM9 kernel, it worked on .9 kernel until they updated to .59 and then if you used the patch, wifi quit working.
OK, here's an interesting problem... My phone can turn on fine, but once it's on the power button refuses to lock the screen. If I long press the power button, it acts normally by bringing up the power down / reboot menu. Not only this but somehow it is also linked to my wifi to get stuck on "Checking the quality of your wifi connection". The first time it happened, I took off my case, removed my s-pen and it suddenly worked again, and at the exact same time the wifi kicked right in as usual and all worked fine again. I assumed my case was putting pressure on the button yet the next time I restarted my phone (incidentally my case was already off) the same problem happened. Power button wouldn't lock screen but long press functioned fine, wifi stuck. I figured maybe my s-pen being taken out may somehow so something, trying to recreate the solution that worked the first time around, but it didn't work. About 10 seconds later I tried the lock button and it worked, and subsequently the wifi kicked in again. I haven't done a factory reset or tried a restore yet, I was hoping to avoid that if possible... just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas as to what could cause something so strange. I don't see any link between the power button and wifi functioning.
My phone is a T-Mobile Note 3, stock KK rom, stock kernel
rooted.
I appreciate any insight, advice, or opinions anyone may give me. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read about my issue!
I was on chrome scrolling down a page yesterday, when the phone froze and went black. I haven't been able to turn it on or put it in recovery since. Does anyone know what happened to it? It was on the at&t network. Never froze up before that. I was running the 6.0.1 dragon screwed rom (I think). I loved my nexus. Any help or info would be appreciated.

Try plugging your phone into your computer and see if it's recognized, also try pushing the power button down for a long time (up to 2-3 minutes)
I tried the power button for 5 minutes 3 times and still nothing. I also plugged it into a computer and it's not recognized. I miss it already

Call Google. Mine was out of warranty but they did do a one time courteousy replacement.
Talked to Google earlier and they are gonna send a refurbished nexus 6p to replace mine. Probably gonna make it my backup when the pixel 2 comes out.
I have a S8 Exynos version running stock Oreo - No root.
Yesterday I enabled FaceRecognition, just for trying it out, along with Gravityscreen since I wanted an unlocked phone the moment I picked it up. However, It didnt work as expected. I think there is some issue with Gravity screen turning off the screen and back ON.
anyway, the thing is, at one point my phone got stuck beyond redemption. I'm attaching a video, in 7z file, of what was happenning. I couldn't operate the phone at all - couldn't turn it OFF either. I let the battery drain and even upon restart, the problem didnt go away!! Not sure suddenly what triggered the problem! and what the solution is! I should've tried booting to Recovery. But have given the phone to the service center.
Anyone face this?
Try pressing the power off key and volume up for 3 seconds and see if it works bro.
