My daughters Nexus 10 has recently stopped working. Every time we turn it on the Google Logo appears and then the android balls spinning logo appears, but at that point the tablet reboots back to the Google Logo.
So far I've pressed Power + Vol Up + Vol Down and chose recovery mode. This then reboots and I get a android image with the words 'No Command' - I managed to get out of that I think by Power and Vol Up to get into the recovery mode. I chose wipe cache partition and rebooted but the tablet still goes back into a loop when booting. I then went back into the recovery mode and chose wipe data / factory reset. Again it goes back into the boot up loop. But now all I can do is press Power + Vol Up + Vol Down which gets me to an android image with the words 'Downloading - do not turn off target!'
Any ideas? Ideally I'd like to get the tablet back to a factory image so I can sell it. I've already wiped my tablet and given it to my daughter to stop her from moaning!!
Thanks

Have you tried using the factory images from Google and resetting it that way. A factory reset in the stock recovery won't do much except wipe the data, apps, etc. If theres something wrong with the system, that won't fix it. That's where the factory images come in.

I entered a bootloop. After getting past the LG logo, the SlimKat logo appears on the screen for 3 seconds or so before fading away. It repeats this process until I force the phone off by holding the power button.
I understand, by getting to Recovery Mode, I should be able to mitigate the issue; but no recovery mode is present. I have tried pressing every combination of the buttons, letting go upon seeing the LG logo, and pressing them again. The logo disappears, reappears, and fades away again.
Hi, try this combinaison: phone is shutdown, power+vol down. When first logo appear, release and press vol up and vol down ( not power) until menu reset appear. You will erase all your data, but it should work. Your problem is when the rom flash the recovery too.

Hello, I tried this combination but unfortunately it only bootloops.
I think I may have bricked my phone. I have a Verizon Note 3 - rooted - running Kit Kat with Safe Strap. In the power menu (accessed when I hold the power button down) I accidentally selected boot into recovery mode. Now my phone is stuck in an endless boot loop. It powers on to the 'Note 3 - Custom' screen with blue text at the top that says "Booting recovery..." then it shuts down and starts over again and refuses to actually boot into recovery mode. I've tried taking out the battery and sim card, with no luck... the same result. Can anyone think of a way to troubleshoot given that I cant even get the phone to boot at all? Thank you.

It doesn't sound like your phone is bricked... it just sounds like you're stuck in a bootloop, which is usually fixable.
Try removing the battery again and leaving it out about 10 mins... also press down the power button on the phone for 10 seconds or so with the battery out to discharge any remaining power still in the device. Put battery back in after a bit and see if you can boot into stock recovery (by pressing volume up+home button+power button all at same time). If it lets you boot into stock recovery, see if just wiping the cache allows it to boot back up. If that doesn't work, pull battery... reinsert... boot back into stock recovery and do a factory reset (that will wipe all your data as I'm sure you know, so that's why I thought wiping cache first may be worth a try--even though wiping cache alone probably won't work). Hopefully, you have made a TWRP backup in safestrap that you can use to restore if you have to factory reset.
If you can't get into stock recovery manually.... or if you can and wiping cache or factory reset doesn't work, then you could boot into Odin mode (by pressing volume down+home button+power button all at same time), and restore the phone back to KitKat 4.4.2 with Odin. Droidstyle has put together a great guide to help restore the phone which you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46461911
I hope this helps you get it fixed. Good luck!
I was reading through older forum posts and came across this thread which may help with some other ideas if you couldn't get into stock recovery to fix it with a wipe.... ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56087194 ).
A couple of the suggested fixes in the thread may be easier than using Odin to go back to stock.
Hey all I have a super simple fix if you get stuck after a full restore back to stock. If you get stuck in the boot loop where all you see is the Samsung logo its usually do to the data partition being corrupt. To fix this do the following
hold the power button till it turns off.
Hold the power and the volume up button til you see the samsung ..... 10.1 message on the screen.
At this point you can take your finger off the power button but still hold the volume up till you get into recovery.
Once you get into recovery, wipe data then cache and do a factory reset.
Once its done your boot loop should be resolved.
Hello guys, been a while, but I got myself into trouble. For a while I had rooted the phone but one time I rebooted and it supposedly no longer had root. Today I got a notification that magisk updated, so I decided to try it. I booted into recovery and tried to flash. Nothing happened. I tried wiping davlik cache and tried again. What ended up happening instead was that the phone was unresponsive. I attempted to reboot, but instead I got stuck in a bootloop.
I realize the most effective way to get out of it is to flash the firmware via Odin, but since I didn't make a backup I want to avoid that if possible. The problem is that other than the soft reboot (power + volume down) I cannot power off the phone to access recovery mode! I've searched and searched, but have only found ways to soft reset, which doesn't help me access recovery mode.
Is there a way to power off the phone while stuck in a bootloop? Or, alternatively, is there a way to boot into recovery while in a bootloop?
It's so frustrating to not be able to something as simple as a battery pull since the phone is sealed. Is there a way to replicate that to be able to power it off?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hold the power button for 10 seconds.

Hold Vol down and power for soft reboot. As soon as the screen goes off to reboot quickly switch to recovery combo (bixby + up + power) it should boot to recovery

What if Vol down and power don't work, adb, fastboot and device manager don't see it, any other combinations tried too, wait for full discharge don't option. Help plz
Did you manage to get out of this?
Im really scared i bricked my phone now. Everything was working fine but after i did a normal reboot it suddenly would not start up.
Screen is black and the only way i can get a response from the phone is the soft restart (vol down + power).
I need to get into recovery somehow so i can restore my nandroid backup but vol up + bixby + power doesnt work (i assume the phone is on and frozen or something?)
I managed to fix my phone. After leaving it for 24 hours the battery was fully drained. After charging again i could boot to twrp and restore my nandroid backup.
My note 4 wont stay on not even long enought to login to the play store, it just freezes for a second and reboots.
would it be possible to fix it with a custom rom and theres a way to install without installing any app on the phone
Hey there, you can try to do a factory data reset if the phone boots into recovery mode.
NOTE: A factory data reset will wipe the whole device including the internal storage.
To enter into recovery mode, power off the phone. Then, hold the vol up + home + power buttons together till you see the Samsung splash screen. When the splash screen comes, release the power button and continue holding the volume up and home buttons till it boots into recovery.
Once it's in recovery mode, you can use the volume down button to scroll to the 'Wipe Data/ Factory Data Reset' and then hit the power button to select the option.

Okay. Does it boot into Download Mode?
To enter into download mode, power down the phone. Similar to the recovery boot process. Just that instead of the volume up button, you need to hold the volume down button.
If it does boot into download mode. Does it stay on or give you the same problem?

Maybe you can try installing the firmware through Odin. It may fix things. Else it could be an eMMC failure.
It could be a battery problem. I had kinda the same issues (random reboots that became more and more frequent and at some point the phone barely booted). So i ordered a new battery and problem is solved, phone is up and running again. If you can, try another battery just to be sure that this is your case. Also, the worst scenario is that some people reported random reboots when emmc memory failed. I hope this is not your case
