[Q] Nexus 10 Doesn't boot + weird screen effects - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have a nexus 10. Firstly it shut's down so damn often. But now it is so bad that I bearly can boot the device. Battry is full charged it for 24 hours. If it boots it gets to the google logo and after that it turns of again. Now I'm asking is there a way to reflash the stock rom? There is still warrenty so I would like to keep it, in case nothing else helps.
Or is there a hard reset shortcut?
Regards in advance

Third post in this thread has info on returning to stock

Getting ready to say bye to Nexus one

hi guys,
yesterday, i turned on my nexus one, after not being use for a week. i turned on the nexus one normally, waiting until finish booting. i browsing the menu, looking for application, i open google voice, it decline to open, tap google voice icon for one more time, still can't. i push the sleep button. turned on it again. slide to unlock it, and it freeze. waiting around for 30 seconds still freeze, nothing happen when i try to turn it off. reinsert the battery. now it didn't respond anything, try boot to recovery mode, no respond, plug in the charger, no any light. today i try to turn on the nexus one, still no respond.
i'm in malaysia, so there is no official support to claim the warranty. and i already unlock the bootloader, so warranty already voided. Good bye nexus one, may be i will never bye an android phone anymore. it is the best phone i ever had in my life, i know exactly why google call it "Superphone". it really deserve that name. PS: i still couldn't believe i make my own nexus one broke by my self.
Good bye nexus one. good bye xda-developers. good bye cyanogen.
Aww, dont do that
It sounds like you have a dead battery, the phone cant boot without a battery. You can buy OEM batteries onine at multiple online sources.
Seriously, Perhaps try to factory reset the phone before giving up after 5 seconds.
will you send it to me if i pay for the shipping, my son dropped mine today and destroyed the screen. would be a great help. thanks, veritasaequita
OMG.. stop crying the minute something is wrong. Try to solve it...
HTC will replace your phone even if you unlocked the bootloader if the hardware died so just call them and explain..
You could try the factory reset before that.

yea HTC has been well known to do this. i was gonna tell you to boot into recovery but i just read that you cant. you should maybe try to factory reset.
you can also try to get a new battery like others said
can you plug it by usb to your computer? maybe you should try wiping through ADB
still no respond by doing factory reset.
is i completely dead?
Mine wouldnt power on, it only started flashing a yeallow and green light when i triede powering on.
What i had to do to get it to boot, was remove battery, hold power button for 10-15sec put battery back in, connect the phone to a wall charger, wait 30 minutes, and then it powerd on no problem, ive had this isse 3 times now, and it seems to bring it back to life everytime.

[Q] MIUI-1.6.10-demonSPEED-v1.1, WILL NOT BOOT

So as the title says i currently have MIUI 1.6.10 demonSPEED v1.1 ROM and it is not booting, just completely unresponsive to everything i could think of. Im just throwing this out there to see if this has happened to anyone before or if there is a way of fixing this issue. I don't believe it has anything to do with thederekjay's rom just some unfortunate event. Anyway i fear it is possibly bricked and that i am gonna have to shell out the $150 to get a new mt4g from the insurance. Details follow...
So have had this rom for about a week now and has been working great. However this morning i was on the browser reading the news and it became unresponsive. After i let its display turn off (i just left it alone) i used the track pad to wake it. It was slow but it did show me the lock screen. When i attempted to unlock with a swipe down i felt the vibrations but the slide lock didn't budge. I then tapped the power button to turn the display off and tapped the power button once again to turn it on but nothing, just stayed black. I tried a soft reset by removing the battery, placing it back in, and powering back up. When i did so the t-mobile mytouch 4g boot image w/ the white background came on then went to an android image (lighting up a through d, looping) but then it just remained at the android image for five minutes! So i tried a soft reset again but the same thing would happen, act like it was gonna boot up completely but then gets stuck at the android image. So then i tried removing the battery and booting into recovery (via power, vol down, trackpad) that time the t-mobile mytouch 4g image would appear but after that the screen went black and after that every attempt with either the soft reset or boot into recovery wouldn't do anything at all, just a black screen as if the battery wasn't in at all. Its been like that all day and i can't figure it out so if anyone knows some info i would greatly appreciate it thanx

Nexus 4 goes BLANK with BLACK Screen

Hi guys
I am having this unusual issue (atleast for me) as it is happening for the first time. My nexus was charged almost 60% and i didn't even ha any sort of case on it. Just msged my frnd on whatsapp and kept the phone aside. After almost 5 mins when i check the screen is blank :crying:. i m pushing the power button to switch on but it does nothing...neither does proximity sensor and the volume buttons. I thought the phone is switched off. But not cz i called up on my mobile no in my nexus 4 from another phone.
Freaked out i thought suddenly the battery drained and phone is bricked. Tried to charge the phone but nothing comes up on display neither the battery icon. Searched theweb for solution but didnt find much besides hard resetting the device using volume down + power button. Finally after waiting for almost half n hour or so i tried again and pushed the powerbutton for almost 10 secs :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossedmore than needed on regular use) and it turned on:victory:. Couple of days later same thing happens.
I am not sure what is causing this issue to happen. My Nexus 4 isnt rooted. I certainly dont wish to part with this device as it is such an amazing one. If anybody is experiencing or has experienced the same issue, please tell me what was the cause?
I'm TOTALLY BLANK BEING UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE AS TO WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? OR WHAT OR WHICH APPLICATION IS FORCING IT?
Reply please...Thanks in advance...
Sounds like it's frozen long pressing the power button soft resets it. If it happens a lot then you should probably factory reset and see if it continues.

[Q] Galaxy S4 hardbrick

Hey,
This is my first time posting here and really using the site. I have the Sprint Galaxy S4 and just updated to the SlimKat official build 7 and had no initial problems. A day later it starts to reboot constantly and would stay on for a couple minutes. Now it is stuck in a bootloop and will shut off even when going into download or recovery mode. When plugged into a computer the computer won't even recognize the phone and the phone will not turn on. The only time the phone will even start to boot is when it is not plugged into wall/computer and on battery. I have no idea what to do now.
That's a tough one. Usually with a soft brick, if you can make it to recovery, your phone can be saved but since you can't... I hope you get it working!

Go to sprint galaxy s4 thread. All answers there. You need Odin 3.09 then stock ng2 tar. To flash through computer.

I already have odin and the tar files for stock. When plugged into my computer it will not even register that it is connected and so I can't use odin to flash it.
The same thing is happening to me. I get to the Galaxy S4 splash screen, then it shuts off. Even if I try to boot into recovery
I'm going to pile on in here as I seem to be having a similar issue. I had my S4 (not rooted, stock rom) on my dock streaming google music. A phone call came in and the phone started vibrating like crazy and wouldn't stop. The screen shut off and the phone was still vibrating. Finally it stopped and was shut off. When I try to start it a few things happens. It will sometimes boot to my lock screen and the screen goes black and I think it is powered off. Sometimes it will get past the lock screen and then die shortly after. After like 2 or 3 times of that it won't even boot. It loads the Samsung screen but never gets to the Sprint screen or boots. If I leave it for some time shut off with battery out it will go back to booting to the lock screen then dying etc... When I press the buttons to get into recovery it says recovery is loading and then the screen goes black. I swapped batteries and that didn't do anything. I tried pressing the menu button or the home button to try and boot safe mode and it just loads normally not that I think that would help anyway.
Any ideas on things I can try next? What is this odin thing? Would that work for me?

Ok... I can get into recovery now and will try a factory reset. Are you sure you are going into recovery correctly. Apparently I was not. Hold volume up power and menu button and when the phone vibrates let go of power only.
Before I do a hard wipe is there any way to get data off the internal memory from recovery mode?
So I got a custom recovery installed, reinstalled stock rom, things worked ok for awhile. Then it started random reboots every 10 mins or so. Now it is back to instant crashing and rebooting. Any idea what could be the issue? I'm assuming at this point it is hardware related. Why can recovery and download mode run consistently without crashing but when an os is fired up it has issues? If it was a hardware issue shouldn't it not work across the board?
So I had Sprint replace my phone on the 8th. I have been using my same batteries (1 stock 1 Anker) and chargers (some stock some not) without issue the past 5 days. I rooted and installed xposed and some modules (original broken phone was never rooted and was completely stock). Things were going great until tonight when it started reboot looping exactly like the old phone. I switched battery and same proble. After I took the battery out and left it out awhile it fired back up but I'm afraid the problem will return. Is it possible that the battery or charger randomly are causing damage to the phone? I only have 14 day warranty on this replacement and need to figure this out.
So things were going well for awhile and then the reboot loops started up again. I did some digging and read that apparently Samsung phones are notorious for sticking power buttons and the symptoms were exactly what I was experiencing. I watched some videos online how to open the phone and clean out the power button but it didn't make a difference. I then read that squeezing the connector for the power button with a pair of pliers sometimes does the trick. Not for me. So finally since I'm not under warranty, have no insurance, and the phone wasn't working anyway, I just ripped the white plastic part of the power button right off. Well, that seemed to do the trick. Phone immediately fired back up without issue and has been going strong. I glued a small thin piece of plastic where the old one used to be and I am back in action. If my little plastic piece solution eventually fails or breaks off I will consider soldering on a new button but so far so good.
If you have tried everything else, and are looking for last resort, try cleaning the power button with some alcohol, and if that fails, rip off that power button! Here is the video that gave me the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Glllc7bEJs and here are some other power button videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=s4%20power%20button&search_type=&aq=f&oq=

Phone dead?

My phone randomly shut off today at around 14% battery. I'm assuming that the battery level wasn't correctly calculated and it was actually at 0%, which is pretty common for my phone.
Now, when I plug it in I don't get any charging icon appearing at all. I've tried a different charger and it has the same result.
Is this perhaps because the phone is extremely low on battery? At times I've found when it is some software doesn't function - could the charging icon not appear because it is so low on battery?
If not, is it likely my phone's battery is dead?
Thanks for any input into this issue. :good:
Does the LED flash when you connect the phone to the charger? Did you try leaving it on the charger for a few hours?
Charge your phone for 2-3 hours and then try to start it. If it doesn't work, then you might have to follow this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-bring-nexus-4-battery-dead-t2975391

I need your help! My Nexus 4 on 4.4.3 is stuck in a boot loop! I don't know how this happened; however the [fix root? (Yes)] option in CWM recovery is missing! and I can't boot into safe mode to uninstall an app that I think might be causing this; (My phone died while I was using Hangouts and the bottom LED light flashed twice. That's the last thing I remembered before my phone became....a paper weight. Do you have any suggestions? Is there a way to boot into Safe Mode via. ADB or a button command on KitKat? I freally do not want to factory reset my device. I have too many unupdated apps and pictures and personal things on my phone that I've been building for... well 4 years since I've gotten the phone.
