Woke up, and I saw the android bot with the triangle with an exclamation mark in it.
The strange thing is, all i did was plug my phone into my laptop last night to charge.
I haven't tried modifying it any way.
Tried holding power and volume+ but not getting through.
I've checked similar threads but none seem to have had this problem....
any advice ??
Did you remove the battery and try?

In this screen with triangle pres both + and - volume buttons and you must go into stock recovery and make factory reset.In some Defys this not work.Them must taping on the bottom right corner on the screen while is in the triangle screen to go into stock recovery.
If you cant go into this screen(triangle) just press and hold both vol - (minus) and power.

I placed my nexus 10 on charging yesterday, and after a while (2-4 hours later) when i came back, i found the device to be turned off, I tried the power button in all the combination with volume buttons, but still no luck (even held the power button for 3mins) I searched online, and couldnt find any help on other forums. Some said to keep it on charging overnight and then try powering it up. But still no luck.
I dont get any notification when i connect it to charger, although when i press the power button while connected the screen lights up, and battery charging sign shows up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So you cannot even get to the recovery?
You ether over charged it (very unlikely to happen) or you have a faulty N10.

No, can't even get to recovery. But i have been using the device for over two months now, nothing like this ever happened. What about the charging sign when i press the power button. It might be some kind of a sleep mode or something, no?

Could be a bootloader corruption, software issue, hardware issue or some part of the hardware "thinks" that it is still on when it is not causing it to not switch on.
Have you noticed any issues before it just came off like extreme overheating?

Well, yes the tablet was getting overheated after a long session of hd videos, or games, but that use to happen all the times.
I believe this is normally called a "Sleep of Death" or sometimes "screen off death". Hold power + vol up + vol down at the same time for 5 seconds and you should boot into fastboot. From there hit the power button to turn the tablet on. Then go about finding a better ROM/kernel combo that doesnt give you this problem.

You just need to press power and volume down to enter the bootloader.

Are you using the charger/cable that came with your device?
Its working.
Weird how it was taking any input from the power button though. I kept the tablet on charging over night and i tried turning it on in the morning and it worked.
Thank you all.

I've had my Nexus 10 for less than a week, and this morning I encountered this problem. I was working on setting up syncing through an app called FolderSync and SugarSync. Syncing of one of the folders seemed to go into a loop. The device locked up completely a couple times. I got the process running again and left it running while I went for a workout. When I came back no way could I get it turned on.
I had tried all the things suggested here before checking here for help. I'll try your "solution" of leaving the device on charge overnight. If I can't get it going tomorrow morning I'll return it to Staples, where I bought it.
I have an iPad and have never encountered anything even close to these problems. Bought the Nexus 10 specifically to run the Vim Touch app for Android. The only Vim app for the iPad is horribly crippled.
Sounds like this thread pretty much exhausted the possibilities by the time epicbearman discovered his "solution," but if by chance anyone has any further suggestions I would be grateful.
Thanks,
Eric Weir
I had the exact problem as the OP and none of my chargers worked. I then googled and found someone that said to try to charge via their PC USB instead of the wall charger. I left it plugged into the USB for a couple of hours and the charge went to 4% ( so it must have been very dead ) and all is well.
I charged it via the usb charger, and connected it to my pc overnight. Try doing that.

Thanks. If I'd gotten this in time, I suspect it would've worked. But when I couldn't get it started after trying everything else and leaving it on charge overnight, I returned it to Staples.
Will order a Nexus 7 from Google. If I can get Vim Touch running successfully---my reason for wanting an Android tablet---and I find the screen to small for heavy writing---I want to get by with a soft keyboard---I'll order another 10 and give the 7 to my daughter.
Thanks again,

I will acknowledge from the get-go that this is probably my fault entirely. I was quite tired and fell asleep but in the mean time, I was doing a nandroid backup of my phone - which at the time was running stock rom and stock kernel. I actually had just done the factory reset on the phone too. But my phone is rooted and has the unlocked bootloader. Anyways, I left it on my table while it was backing up, I saw the progress bar and everything was working fine and dandy but this is when I fell asleep. It was on an ac wall charger overnight and I woke up to find it flashing the red light when plugged in only.
So from looking around, some people have said it is the case where the phone is completely discharged and to have it charging for a while, but I'm not sure if this applies to me since I already had it on charge the whole night? What's my situation here?
In any case, I'll be going out to buy my tools, would it just be the T5 Torx screwdriver?
Edit: When the phone is plugged into any charger the red flashing light is persistent, however I did notice that when I plugged it in via usb and my computer, I first got a glimpse at the white battery charging screen for a moment, then the phone would return back to its red flashing
Anyone?
Just from playing around it more I realized that, ONLY when plugged via usb to my computer, I will get that initial solid red light, then the screen with the battery and lightning bolt.
****I realized that if I held the power button on that battery screen, the phone appears to boot up, and I get the black page with "Google", for a short moment then it shuts off and resumes flashing the red light.
Is it because theres not enough charge to fully boot the phone? I already had it plugged in overnight so this really didn't make sense to me.
And I don't know if it the phone actually charges when I have it plugged in and the red light is flashing.
Take the back off and unplug, replug the battery

Instead of trying to boot the phone up, try to get into recovery. Most people that had this type of issue managed to get into recovery and from there reboot..
If that doesn't work, and you manage to get into the recovery, do your wipes, or flash another rom.
If i were you i'd try all those lil tricks, if nothing works, then i'd be thinking about taking the back plate off and unpluging the battery.

How would I get into recovery? Do you mean by holding the power and volume down? I was sure I tried all other ways of holding the power but the most it will give me is the google screen.

Yes, you said that at the battery screen holding power will get you to the google logo, but if you tried holding power+vol down and it's not working, then i guess u don't have much options here..

hey guys....
i hate myself....
anybody know how to know how to recover my n4???? heres what happend....
i recoverd my stuff like always
put the two downloads from this page on my SD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324683)
did a pull wipe and dalvik
formatted system
then i wanted to flash the files
and without purpose flashed the second one first!
NOW
my phone wont boot... no recovery.... no bootloader and not fastboot!!
its suck at the google logo!!!
but whats wierd ist that at that google logo the PC sees it and also does toolkits!!! but no ADB
please if anyone has any idea how to get this running again please help me out!
Hold Power until it turns off then release the power button and press "volume - " and power at the same time and keep holding both.
What happens then?
Try to download this toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015469
And choose flash stock.
I don't know if it works but you can try.
Also, alot of people get stuck and can still can get into bootloader try every possible way to get there because if you can access bootloader you can fix it with ease.
Did adb work before? If not it might be your drivers so fix that if it worked before you don't can access your phone with adb while on the google screen.
Good luck!

Your battery died.
You need to put it in the charger for some time, the red light will go away eventually. Or try ro charge it with your computer or car.
BUT before doing that I THINK you must let it completly drain, so just let it the way it is and try the above tommorrow.
I'm not sure though so another member here needs to confirm this!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
battery died indeed (probably fully discharged)
Try this:
1. just leave it charging for +- 30 min and check if it 'running' again (battery icon on screen).
and/or
2. hold the power button and then plug it in to a power source. Be patient because it may take up to 30 seconds for it to boot.
If it's working again and battery is full but system is not booting, try booting with volume- + power buttons and flash everything again (e.g. android 4.3) with fastboot.
thanks but No Chance!! the batter is full!!! if i tun it on with vol + or vol - or vol + and - ! all i get is a blinking red LED

I got a red light, not flashing ubuntu, it was running antutu with less than 30% bat, and OC. its all about battery.
What i did....
Plug my N4 to the wall charger all night long. After that i plug off and there was the same red led. I went to my job, on my way, i plugged into the car charger and....woalaaa , suddenly the red light turn off, pressed the power button and it start normally.
Do the same,but when you try to power on, do it pressing VOL- and power button to start on bootloader cuz you dont have an android system mount on it. Then Flash factory image vía fastboot.
I got that red light thing twice already OCin. And that work for my in both cases
Good luck

Red blinking LED is a battery voltage problem, best way people have found to solve is to use a 3rd party charger for a day or so then try again even if you think it's full.

I put my phone down one day and when I picked it back up the screen would not turn on. When I plug it in without touching any buttons, I get one red light flash and then nothing. I have tried the trick where you hold the volume button down and the power button and plug it in, and I do manage to get to the reset/start screen. From here though, my phone just turns itself off, or moves to the google screen but then turns itself off. I've also tried "pulling" the battery (which is apparently holding up instead of down on the volume), and this also does nothing. I have also tried different chargers and this is not working either. I have left it to charge for over 24 hours too and this does nothing.
I cannot find any answer to this whatsoever and I am at a loss at what to do about it.
I used Tab 2 charger to get over it but u may read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/final-fix-nexus-4-red-light-death-t2250454

I just flashed MOAR rom on my phone a few days ago and everything was working perfectly then while at work I pulled my phone out of my pocket and noticed my case had slipped off and was holding the power button down. After fixing the case I tried to unlock my phone and nothing came up on my screen. I held down the power button and the only thing that happened was my LED indicator is flashing green rapidly and at different brightness. Then I pulled the battery and left it out of my phone for 2 hours and still the only thing that is happening is the LED. When I plug it into my computer without me hitting the button the LED is flashing. It wont boot into recovery and I don't want to send it in and them find a custom rom on it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try the same thing with the charger plugged in.
"Try holding down the power button for 1 minute with the charger connected. If this doesn't present the screen, try holding the power button AND both volume buttons at the same time. This should bring up a menu. There should be an option for reboot or force reboot"
