[Q] Nexus 10 won't get past the lock screen.

My N10 won't get past the lock screen. When I try to unlock the screen turns black and returns to the lock screen. I have tried rebooting and tried opening to Google Now or settings with no success. I am running rooted stock Android and haven't flashed anything in over a month. Any ideas?

Strange thing when powering off

Hi guys,
Something strange is happening to my zenfone. When I want to switch it off, and I click the "power off" option my phone activates offline mode, then the screen just dimms instead of going full black. When I try to switch it on again, everything is okay except that my phone doesn't vibrate and goes straight to boot animation, there is no loading system circle, phone boots up in 3 seconds. I don't need to enter pin too. When I choose restart option everything goes as normal. Any help is appreciated

Its a common issue.
Just wipe everything from bootloader, like system, data,cache, then flash recovery.img from .44 update and then reboot to recovery and sideload the .54/.540 update.
everything will be fixed.
Me and my friend faced the same issue about a year and a half ago,and this fixed the issue.

What does 'sideload' mean? Sorry I am new here :v

Status bar + background disappearing problem, Loop

Hello,
I'm facing a weird problem, that after booting into Mi A1,
Status bar & Background wallpaper, would disappear & appear every 3 seconds.
& this continues in a loop.
I even tried flashing "Full stock October build" to both slots a & b (while selecting "save user data").
but the MiFlash Tool, gives an error "Flash modem_a error".
I will appreciate, if someone can help me out here.
As i can't use my phone.

Boot into safe mode and disable Lock and Ambient display

I disabled lock screen & Ambient display,
as well as flashed stock boot images of September & August builds on their slots.
After doing all this, i could straight away go to homescreen.
But still the background of homescreen keeps on switching between black & the status bar also disappears,
then suddenly, wallpaper & status bar appears.
When i click search bar, to type something, keyboard appears. But immediately disappears due this background+status bar flickering/resetting.
Can anybody help me in fixing this.

First post edited.

It seems like constant system UI crashing. I experienced it once with Nexus 5X after doing some system modifications, the only way how to solve it was to perform factory reset. Reflashing of system only strangely didn't help at all.

Had to clean flash stock rom via MiFlash Tool.
Took me 5 hours, to copy files & setup phone again.

Even i had this problem
I some how managed and went into settings and performed a factory reset
The problem vanished

Same problem here, it was Causing because of whatsApp, Solution Turn off Ambient Display,
I Did Hard Reset, By Power off and Volume keys,
If You can Reach to the ambient Display settings without Reset try to turn it off, as phone works for few seconds after re-start.
Mine is Working fine after since I turned Off Ambient Display,
Got this Solution from Other Thread, Thought to Help others.

Does the phone boot properly to the desktop after flashing the latest stock ROM?

yes it boots normal
btw little update i found out i can use my recovery my screen just dont show any thing
i found that out because everytime i was downgrading from 5.1.0 to 4.4.2 i had to do wipe data or it wont boot
i tryed to go in recovery and go 3 down (wipe data) and then 7 down (yes) just with youtube videos and it worked before the wipe my phone does not start on 4.4.2
that means that my recovery is working but screen just doesnt show it
it doesnt show anything but the white samsung logo, normal system, downloadmode
at any other time my display ist blank
as an example when i turn it on i see the white logo then screen turns blank i hear the bootup sound, after 15 sec screen goes black and when i press unlock i can normal use the phone
but why is it blank while booting and in recovery and also is a bit flickering when phone is turned on normal

Recovery works on stock lollipop?

yes recovery works but screen does not when i enter it
the screen is turned on but it only shows black
same thing when the phone boots up screen in turned on but only shows black untill the phone is booted then screen works but is flickring a tiny bit
i called in a repair shop they told me maybe the backlight control is broken???
because i also cant change my brightness its set to max and doesent get darker when i move the slider

Bad Boot animation

Hi.
For fun I tried flashing a new bootanimation.
It didn't work and ended up with a black screen and a lot notification light.
So I dirty flashed my rom (DU12) with same result.
Then I formated system and made a full wipe (not internal) and clean flashed the ROM.
It had same result. But I found out that I could hold power button and just restart. And then it booted.
This happens every time I restart, where I have to make another restart after hitting the black screen with lit notification light.
Any suggestions to fix this?
Thanks.

Well. Formatted data and wiped everything.
That helped.
