Where did my birds go?
Just flashed to ADAM (latest) and now my birds on boot up are gone.
Anyway I can get that tegra tab boot up there instead?
All I get is a 5-10 second black screen, then the NI splash screen pops up.
Just kinda bugging me
Thank you!
Same here, not seen anything on it. Any advice would be helpful. It persists through different roms for me.
Gentlemen:
Press and hold the power button on your tablet until you are sure it is off.
The press the power button and volume + button down at the same time and
hold it until you see the "Recover Button Pushed" message.
Does it try to load any sofware?
If it does, then you can use the regular "recover process" to reload whatever
you want. If not, then we'll have to work on Plan B.
Let us know what you find out.

(I mentioned this in a PM) - on a real Adam, there is no boot-screen logo, it's blank. Very annoying, but normal for their firmware.
Thanks for the replies !!
I took adam off, and the problem still persists.
Actually, I wouldnt call it a problem... more like blankness...?

You might still have their bootloader, that's my only guess (especially if you had done an NI upgrade at some point). I know an nvflash will definitely fix it, but a stock reversion might do it as well.

Hey guys i have the samsung galaxy tablet 10.1 model gt-p7510ma and the screen wont turn on. One day i accidentally hit the power and the volume buttons and now this device's screen wont turn on! I am at a complete loss as to what could be wrong. i was told that i may have to flash it back to factory to get it to work but i cannot find any stock rom download links. i have never dropped this thing so i dont know why the screen would just go out.
Does anyone have any suggestions tips or things that i may try to get this thing back operational? Right now it is just a 500$ brick. Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
EDIT: when you hook tab up to computer it shows up as APX in device manager under unknown devices. I dont know if this helps but that a little more info.
Steve
have you tried charging it?
Apart from that I believe this is non-dev related, should go to Q&A section.
It might be that your device has hung. Press Power button and keep it pressed for 10seconds or something like that. And then try to turn it on again.
Sometimes it hangs like that. Especially if you are on some unstable custom rom.
/Edzz
it is actually running the stock rom I never rooted it or anything like that. To the guy above, of course I tried charging it that didn't work. It doesn't even show that it is charging on the scree. I have pressed and held the power button trying to get it into bootloader mode, but that did nothing. Wonder why the computer is picking it up as APX. Wonder what that is? Thank for the suggestions so far!
If you are on stock and not even rooted, then just take it back to shop or service for warranty. You will get if fixed immediately or working back in a week. Better play safe.
In your case I would do so.
/Edzz
black screen and apx on the computer usually means you're in the mode needed for nvflash.
i forget how to get out of that mode, but google nvflash and apx you should be able to get an answer.

Hey guys,
I've been having this same problem the last 24 hrs or so now. I'm running custom rom Cynagoen mod ICS 4.03. This is apparently one of the more stable roms out there. Prior to this I ran an alpha stage jelly bean rom which ran just fine until last night. After leaving the screen off for an hour or so, the screen won't turn on after pressing the power button. I reboot every time and that seems to work. Is there something I need to do here? Should I look for another rom, maybe a 3.x? Thanks guys

Maybe try upgrading your CM9 install. 4.0.4 is the latest flavor of ICS.

You could try reading the entire thread. Hold the power button down while touching the screen. That fixes the SOD (Sleep of death).

Have you tried holding power and N for 30 secs then trying to power on ??
If its not battery dead you might have to factory rest
I have done that...still dead...
Sorry 'bout previous response, not up to speed on forum posting... I have left pluggedin overnight...no difference...
I will try the power n sequence suggestion and let y'all know what happened...
Thanks all for the help, appreciate your time and effort!

If that does not work then boot into CWM using the sdcard method and start from there. There are CWM backups and to restore 1.4.0 already rooted and with apps. Read my FAQ in the CWM issues section. Link in my signature.

OK, tried the power N, no success... Just want to be clear, the nook is completely dead. no screen life whatsoever... the power indicator on the power cord connection is green but when I try and power up nothing...absolutely black screen, no flicker nada, zero signs of life...will trying a sdcard solution help in that situation?
Thanks again for you time!!
Is your SD card still in? Have you tried taking it out of the nook and holding power for 3 seconds?
Edit: I realized that response seemed very odd. So, with or without the SD card in you should still be able to boot past the black N screen and get to the initial boot animation. I would suggest rather than just holding the power button for 3 seconds try just holding it and eventually it will, or should, actually boot to the initial screen.

I have the same problem with a nook tablet that I rooted for my brother. When I shut it down, it never powered back up. It is dead as a doornail. Very, very, very frustrating. I tried every key combination to try to get it to power up. Nothing works, Holding N+power for 30 secs didn't work. Holding vol down + power also didn't work. It's just dead. BN won't accept an exchange without a receipt. I can't believe this thing is dead after only a few weeks. I also tried charging it to full to a green light, still didn't work.
I have had a similar problem where the screen will not respond or turn on. Turned out to be the SD card. If I removed it, the tablet would respond right away. I now have a 32G San Disk and so far no problems.
Hi All, just wanted to circle back for an update... No change in situation, but have decided to give it a go with the warranty process, opted for the standard service with no CC info provided...figured with that route I couldn't be charged for the repair...worst case they won't fix it...Its dead to me now anyway.... will let y'all know whatsup when I hear from B&N or get the unit back...
thanks again for the comments and suggestions!
If you think a bootloader sucks, Just try the warranty process...
Just wanted to give an update, it had been over a week since I had sent the unit in; so I decided to give a ring and find out what's up... It seemed like I was the first person to ever do that, took forever to finally get an answer. I was informed that yes they had got it a week ago, but that it would take another week before the warehouse got to it...I should hear something then...
I have a annual BN Member Card, buy books there all the time, but I will never give them another penny of my money.... If only amazon put out something with and SD card slot...
Why is that such a hard spec?
Anyway, just wanted to give an update...
Best,
well hopefully it all works out

I've been running the GHarmony ICS ROMs for a while, and have really been loving the 1.5 release. Super excited to try 1.6, but no matter what I do, it won't boot past the birds. (Trust me, I mean NO MATTER WHAT - I've tried everything anyone suggested anywhere that I could find, I asked anyone that would give me any suggestions. Nothing has worked.)
I'm not sure if it's some abnormality in my hardware or the changes in the ROM - I was hoping maybe to get some advice or at least commiseration here...
Is anyone else using this ROM?
If so, is anyone else having this problem?
if so if so, has anyone figured out a workaround or a fix?
I could switch to a different ROM (most others have worked with no problem) but in my experience, this is the best ICS I've used on this tablet...
I'm in the exact same boat.
I had been using flashback for the past few months and loving it. However over the last few weeks, it had gotten to a point where I felt like playing around with what is out there and decided to move to g-harmony.
After running the nvflash file and installing (which work perfectly) the most i can get is a black screen after the birds that just sits there and does nothing.
I just reinstalled flashback with no problem at all on the gtablet.
Really looking forward to using g-harmony but need help.
Can you get any version of GHarmony to work? What process did you follow to nvflash and do your install?
I was able to get earlier versions (pre-1.6) by following the raywaldo instructions first (the "nvflash for dummies" ones, but they were recommended to move to an ICS ROM), and they went on perfectly, no problems.

I have not. However, point me to 1.5 and i'll give it a shot.
I did just give 120 a shot however and got excited because the birds were flashing more than before, but same results, a black screen going nowhere.
Yeah, I'd like to know if your problem is with all of t hem, or just w/ the latest (like mine).
I can't include an external link here, so check your PM - I'll send it there.

Sorry, looks like mine is a different issue. Just puts me in an endless reboot to the birds stage. I tried nvflashing the 250 mb again. I even tried the 300mb on raywaldo and still, the same result.
And even though i didnt want to go to the drh rom, i gave it a shot to see what would happen there. Same result, just a loop through the birds and then the black screen making it look like something is loading but nothing is happening.
Went back and installed flashback again, no problems at all. Booted up perfectly the first time.
So GHarmony 1.5 just gives you the endless reboot to the birds? If so, that's what I get. The birds, then a quick flash, then back to the birds.
The 300MB version didn't help me either. Neither did any of the diagnostic techniques anyone suggested anywhere.
I did get stuck in a loop last night where I went from the birds to a black screen, after I nvflashed something. I was able to get out of it after nvflashing something different. It looked just like APX mode, except it didn't respond to commands.

So i had gotten excited. After getting flashback running, i decided to download all of the g-harmony files again and give it another go. Figured something happened with the download of the files.
Run nvflash again, wipe cache, reboot into tnt, worked great.
Fresh download of 1.6, installed no problems at all.
Power off.
Birds show up for about 2-3 seconds and then just a black screen. Not apx mode since you can tell the screen is still on, but just blackness on the screen.
So similar, but not quite the same as what I'm getting. I don't know what the problem is, It's weirdest that there's no hint of a problem anywhere. All the installs go fine, the tablet will boot before I install the ROM or after I restore it back, and I even checked all my partitions and made sure they're the same size, with no bad blocks (that I could find) or anything else that might gum things up.
I haven't seen anything else in the topic about the ROM itself that suggests others are having issues, so I don't really know what a next step should be.

My problem continues
i read all, 3 days reading and testing, and nothing new about my problem.
I have a problem with rebooting loop. (i cant touch correctly the power button, didnt work, also all the time is rebooting, or staying without screen light, i cant explain correctly!!)
I did all, back to stock, tried install many roms and kernels, but nothing works.
the best thing that i did to use it for few moments was.. use the swipe 2 wake, with AJK - using Siyah v.4.3.3 ICS over the SHOstock3.
The swipe 2 wake not works all the time, most of time the screen only wake up when i receive a income call.
But continues rebooting, most of times when i shake the phone.
Any idea for me?
Thank you

Here is an idea. Get a new phone, or your phone repaired. YOU HAVE A FAULTY POWER BUTTON. With all the reading and testing you have done would have thought you had that figured out. Quit making new threads about the same issue please. I am guessing we won't be seeing too much more of you around here if you keep it up.
Good luck getting you power button fixed.

Hi everyone. Thank you for reading.
I am posting for help with a friend's phone. I, personally, have an S3 on Sprint and haven't had much experience with T-Mobile phones. He has rooted his S5 (T-Mobile, obviously) using galaxys5root.com (I'm now not fond of that site due to his bad experiences that consistently happen) and has not put a new ROM on yet. It has been successfully rooted for several weeks, but today he went to text someone a response and the screen went black, and the blue notification light breathes. It also does a light vibrate, like when you are turning it on. He's getting a replacement anyway, but we want to unroot it before sending in the defective device. I'm wondering (and to my knowledge it seems like) if it's a boot loop. Nothing shows up on the screen at all, not even the back light is coming on. I have yet to connect it to Odin to see if anything comes up. I'm just seeing if this has happened to anyone else and if they have figured out a way to resolve it. My suspicion is that there's a problem with either the boot sector or the recovery sector, as it does not go into recovery.
Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks again!

It sounds like the LCD display has gone bad if the vibration and blue light function normally but you cannot see anything ever.
When they get the new device you might want to suggest that they follow the rooting instruction in this forum on XDA instead of going to a website to do it. Just my opinion.
We are thinking the LCD is bad as well, it just feels like a boot loop because the light vibration keeps happening (I forgot to mention that). Sometimes the blue light will go out and the phone will vibrate lightly and then the blue other starts breathing. It's just repeating that non-stop. I had to pull the battery.
As for him rooting through here, I told him to with his S4 and S5 but he didn't listen. The S4 took a crap, and now the S5 took a crap. I told him I think it's that site. The method is correct but who knows where those flash files come from... I've never had any issues rooting through here, just an occasional reset here and there, nothing as major as this.

Normally, even in a boot loop you see the initial Galaxy splash screen when it first starts booting. Then you see it over and over again. If you see nothing, it normally means the LCD is bad and unfortunately it's the most expensive part of the phone.
Good Luck with it.

Wouldn't surprise me if the device is rebooting itself trying to fix a hardware fault. Might be detecting the LCD has stopped forcing itself to reboot.
But yeah, stick to XDA from now on We are good people here Welcome to the family!
