Hello! I did a forum search and nothing recent pops up. If my problem is something that is known, please just point me in the right direction.
Basically out of nowhere, I've lost root access. I still have all my apps, access to ADW Launcher, etc. but anything that requires root (using the side buttons to change page in Kindle App, using button savior, etc.) won't work any longer!
I have not updated anything recently and my nook itself says it's still on software 1.0.1, so I don't think it was auto updated.
How do I get root access back? Do I have to go through the whole process again? What will happen to my apps and such?
Also, how did this happen, if anyone knows?
Thanks for any and all help!
Rerooting the phone would fix your problem.
and don't worry about your apps.
Nothing would happen to them.

I've tried restarting it (holding the Nook button on the back to power it off, then turning it back on) but that didn't fix the problem. That was the first thing I tried.
And it's a nook...not a phone...but thank you for trying to help.
EDIT: I apologize dagger, i read your original post wrong. I'm just not sure on the best method to do that from the point I'm at.
Nook?
What's it??

Hello, all.
I am having an issue with my Iconia A500. The screen will quickly shift screens back and forth on its own for a while and then it will freeze. I was hoping to reset, but since I cannot get it in to any of the menus, I am unable to do so.
Is there a way to hard reset without booting the device up using the reset hole or another way? Anyone ever seen this screen problem?
Thanks for your help.

I found that holding the power button down for about 30 seconds will force a hard boot.
(This is specifically mentioned in the manual downloadable from Acer's site).
As for the "flickering" and refusal of the A500 to stay asleep, it seems to be related to background wifi activity. Disabling wifi before putting it to sleep will make it stay asleep. At least that happens with mine.

By the looks of things it seems like the music app is launching then quiting and launching and quiting... I don't see a screen issue but rather some kind of corruption or instability. Try a reset or uninstall/update that app.
i tried many reset but it doesn't worked. i tried to do the update.zip but unsuccessfully. i try to push the power button +30sec it doesn't worked too.
and i can't update or uninstall the app because i can't push on the tab because of the constantly launching/quiting.
Ya... I don't know man.
Is there anything you might have done to cause the behavior? SD card installed with music on it? rooted? Installed (bad) apps?
Maybe someone with more knowledge has some ideas.
You could always try to return it and get a new one...?
None of these.
Stock, just few minutes using (i was configurating it). No root. No apps installed, just an automatic update of google maps.
I'll see with Acer if they can give a solution

The news:
Tab was down. Acer's warranty sent me a new one. I don't know what was the real issue because they don't said me any information.
Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me out.
Yesterday I tried downloading and installing Go Launcher because I wanted to add keyboard language change options. I found an article whose steps involved first downloading/installing Go Launcher. It was supposedly a way to do it without rooting the KF? There was nothing but positive feedback and no one else seemed to have a problem with the GL app, so I figured I'd try it.
Unfortunately, when it installed and I tried to use it, it froze. Sadly, I had checked the "use Go Launcher as default" option and so wasn't able to switch back. I ended up trying to turn it off and then back on again but was then stuck with the "Kindle Fire" splash/loading page. That's all it does now. I've tried to hard reset it - to no avail. Even my computer won't recognize it anymore. Not sure if it's relevant, but I even let the battery die and recharged it. It seems I've really killed it. -_-
I'm planning on returning it and getting another. But before I do that, I wanted to see if anyone can help me possibly fix whatever might be wrong with it.

Thanks for this. I read it, but didn't know it applied to me.
Here's what i did I did the hard reset but when it shut off I left it off for like 10 minutes then turned it back on and it loaded up no problem.
First off, thank you to all. Normally i can search and lil reading and be well on my way. But this Droid X has driven me nuts. Its now 2am and i bow to the guru's. So i'll start from the beginning, I got Droid x from a second hand person today, i took home and formatted to stock via normal menu. I then activated phone as it makes you. then proceeded to root with pete 1 click. which worked instantly. So then i added koush installer, which gives two options. Top option tells you success right after you click it. Well then in my wisdom used titanium backup to restore my fiancee's apps to this phone. Her old one was a original droid. Didn't think i added any of the system data but i must have, cause after a reboot a while later. the phone was in a no service state. Couldn't check about phone or really any menu after the initial settings menu at home page. So then after a lot of bad words, =) end up doing a factory reset again. Which is what got me to new problem.... The phone isn't rooted & when trying to root it fails on restarts because after RED Logo appears screen faintly is lit & hangs forever. But if pull battery and turn on, seems to be just fine. Also seems to do it only when plugged in usb to pc. Which can't reroot without the connection right? or does zroot work? So my thinking is that the person before put a bootloader on here, and i didn't know. So perhaps there is now two partial installs of loaders. that a factory reset/wipe won't fix. & having never had to do anything crazy on my Droid 3 or the other 2 original droids im really frustrated at myself. cause im sure im missing a very simple item in this process. Thank you for reading this jumbled problem as i typed it, & appreciate any and all responses.
My phone froze so i did what i normally do and thats pull the battery, replace and reboot. While the phone was booting up i held down the vol key trying to not wake my girlfriend up since its quite early in the morning. Once booted back up i saw the words "safe mode" in the bottom left hand corner. Now i understand what safe mode is for the PC and have used this function many times before but i'm really not sure why and what use it would give to our HD2. Could someone shed some light on what this might be good for on a mobile phone?
I also noticed that all my downloaded apps are missing while in safe mode but after a normal reboot the safe mode disappeared and my apps restored to normal. For reference there is a picture below of what I'm talking about. I'm using the latest version of CoreDroid if anyone cares to know. I took the screenshot using DroidExplorer since i did not have any access to my downloaded apps and even after i downloaded a new screenshot app from the market it would not see it in the list or the gallery. Only after a reboot could i see and use my downloaded apps again.
On a side note while using DroidExplorer the hue of my wallpaper seemed really off. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
So I take it no one else has held down the volume button during boot? Every time it goes into safe mode. I would really like to know what use this would be on a cell phone so if anyone has any clue, please let me know.
My volume buttons got stuck once and it happened to me too, if I understood what I read correctly it is a tool to allow you to start up the phone if an app has caused it to become unresponsive. I am assuming that it is more for people developing apps to be able to start up and remove their mistakes.

This was kind of what i gathered because when you run in safe mode all user apps disappear. Well i though it would be useful if I ever made a mistake and installed something that messed my phone up but your explanation of being designed for developers makes perfect sense. Thanks!!
Phone keeps turning off! Never while using it & sometimes when phone is not moving.
I have an LG-D801 running 4.4.2 kernal 3.4.0 and software D80120a. I also have and use TWRP for recovery. Ever since I rooted my phone and installed this rom, everything has been perfect! That was about 4 months ago. I have and use lots of apps, most of which I have been using for years without any issues. Lately I have been finding my phone off in my pocket for some reason. It now is happening maybe 6-10 times a day which is really getting annoying.
The LG G2 battery doesn't come out so not like it got loose. I have tested it by sitting on the desk lightly and checking it later to STILL find it turned off. So I know I'm not bumping it. I have tried an app killer to kill apps before turning off the screen but it still seems to happen. The phone is still relatively new so I doubt it's hardware, I baby my phones.
Any ideas for ways to make it STAY on without flashing a new rom? Or maybe ideas for how to diagnose what is shutting it down?
(I am looking for ideas and useable feedback, please don't respond that my phone has hardware issues and needs to be replaced!)

Are you sure it's actually off and not just asleep and not waking up. I've never seen a generally working phone turn itself off. On another device we called it the SOD (Sleep of Death) and required a long press on the power to reboot. It's most likely a rooted app like something Xposed related perhaps.

How can I tell the difference? Basically I press the power button once quickly to turn the screen on and it doesn't come on. I hold it for maybe 3 seconds and get the booting up stuff. I am guessing if it was sleeping I'd have to hold it much longer?

Yeah bud, that's a new one on me. Do you have any root apps that could be the cause? Like Xposed.

Thanks for the help. After reading your previous post, I decided to remove GravityBox KK and Xposed. I was using it because I find it annoying that when I plug in my phone at night, it turns on my screen. Not a big deal...
I also use SuperSU and LuckyPatcher which both use root. The only other thing I can think of is that I semi-recently upgraded my Play Store (v4.8.19 using Lucky Patcher) which I had some troubles with. It kept saying my /system was out of space and for some reason, even with root, it tells me acces denied when changing stuff inside the /system such as boot animation.
so... just an update. It's still doing it even after I uninstalled all the apps that need root. I really wish there was a log or something (like Windows) to tell me why it keeps turning off!
I have noticed it seems to happen much more often if I am texting somebody even though I'm using the default app for messages. It literally was turning off after every message I sent early before the other person was able to reply for about 5 messages in a row.
