So I used my nook tablet all day yesterday and this morning. I put it down to goto lunch.. came back and noticed my wifi was not on.. I checked settings and it showed "Wifi turning off" and it was grayed out and just stuck.
I've seen this before with other android devices so no biggie. I powered the unit off.
Now it won't turn back on. Holding the power button now for about 20 secs and nothing.
The battery is at like 80% and I even plugged it in to see if it helped but no good.
I did root it at 1.4.0 and used the Block OTA method with titanium backup but nobody else seems to have a problem.
Is there a way to boot in recovery or something ? Perhaps a trip back to B&N will be needed.
Ok.. holding vol down + power for around 8 secs got it back on. Weird
i have noticed this a few times. Not sure why but never lost anything

His happened to me once and I don't know what I did to get it back on. Glad that I now know, thanks.

I had a similar problem. I couldn't get the tablet to turn on. I discovered in a Kindle Fire forum that you could get the Fire to start when stuck in the off position by holding down the power button for 20 seconds. I tried that with my Nook and it started right up.
Thank! That worked! I was having the same issue. Said Wifi was turning off and all went blank and couldn't reboot. You gave me the answer.
Cheers.
I have had the wifi "turning off" issue. Rather than turn off the nook, I used the menu that you get with a long press of the power button when you install either ROM manager or titanium backup, can't remember which. It has rebooted every time without issue.
The Wifi issue is a known problem. You can set the wifi to stay awake when on the charger and this problem wont happen. Add the power widget so that you can turn the wifi off when not connectwd to the charger. This combo fixes the wifi issue. When your Nook experiences a kernel error it will appear as if it is off but if you hold it at angle, you will notice backlight is on. Just hold nook button and power and it will turn off...then power to reboot rom.

Actually, it's happened to me twice while I had WiFi set to never sleep when charging.
Moved To Q&A
We now have a Q&A section. Please post all questions there
I rooted my Nook Tablet and it worked fine yesterday. Now it won't turn on and isn't recognized by my PC. I hear the windows alert when a usb device is connected but when I try to do anything via adb I always get 'error: device not found'.
I tried doing adb get-state and all I got was 'unknown'
I tried booting into recovery via holding the power button + n for various amounts of time, but nothing happened.
Does anyone have any ideas? It was working fine yesterday and I haven't changed anything on it since I used it last.
Hold the power button down for about 10 seconds. let it sit for a minute, then hold the power button for another 5 seconds or so and release. It should boot up. (assuming your battery is charged)

I had to do a reset (power button + Home) twice so far. Each time it happened after I left the tablet to recharge overnight. It did not turn on as it normally does when you unplug the charger.
I must admit that the (power button + Home) reset does not seem to be cut & dry. The routine quoted above worked the first time. The second time, I tried it several times then finally I tried the pwr button by itself and it went on.
Mine just did this Power and vol down got it running again.

For some reason I can't shut my touchpad down. If I hold the power button down, not much happens until I release the button. Then the screen turns off. Tap it again and it's back.
Any ideas?
thats strange try a hard reset, hold the power button and the home button down for literally a minute or so or until it resets. it will reboot into moboot hopefully. you might have to do that and go back into webos to completely shut down. good luck
Thanks for the reply, I was just trying it when the battery ran out!
But I'll give it a go if the problem returns, thanks.
Ran into the same problem today. The power menu, along with various power/reboot widgets wouldn't work, but after about 20 seconds of holding home+power it worked and booted to moboot.
I had this happen to a coworker, after I had recently upgraded her to alpha3. I tried everything to repair it before deciding to start from scratch. The best thing to do is restart using the power and home buttons (hold them until reboot).
Then think about reinstalling.
Good luck!

I had this same issue today. I downloaded Quick Boot from the app store and it allowed me to restart. Worked great
just happened me too, it MAY have something to do with low battery, i noticed someone above had the problem with low battery. mine happens to be low too
also, i turned off lockscreen earlier, maybe that was related.
I have a TAB 10.1, that WONT turn on, and WONT charge, I don't have the receipt as I have received it as a gift, however Samsung took it for repair AND DID NOT REPAIR IT ! Very disappointing!
Is there any other solution to fix it, when I plug it into the computer still nothing...
Please get back to me guys, need your help, thanks
did you tried holding the power button a little bit longer?
It happens from time to time. Just keep it charged and try to turn on from time to time (sometimes holding the button for multiple seconds). Eventually it will turn on. It's the standby of death problem.

yes, I tried everything, holding power down for up to a minute, holding power and volume up and down, also holding the power button while touching the screen, still nothing...
Try connecting to computer.
Or maybe its Sleep of Death issue. Search for it. you will get solutions like draining your battery completely.

Did you try Power button, then volume down button (only, don't touch the power up) for 8-10 seconds while still holding the power button, then letting off the volume down button? It always works for me.

yes I have tried that, nothing happanes, also nothing happens when I connect it with the computer as well (not even apx mode)...
I was in File Expert this morning, about to back up my apps, and my screen locked up (I was just checking apps to BU, had not started it yet). The only button that works is the on/off, but it only turns the screen on and off. No power down, no back, no settings, nothing. SPG5, so can't do a battery pull (what was Samsung thinking?). I thought maybe my battery went to zero, but I have it on a charger now, still just screen on or off. Is there a reboot sequence?
HELP!
edit: Sorry for the panic. I discovered that if I looooooooong press the power button, it finally rebooted. Not like a typical power off, a hold for 5 seconds; this took a hold of at least 30 seconds. Screen did nothing for a while, then turned on, then turned off and rebooted. All is back to were it was...
So I had the OTA update for 5.1.1 the other day and thought "yay, let's update." it worked fine till this evening where it crashed to a power off state and in now showing the Google logo like it's about to load up and then a turned off screen.
This repeats over and over I can't even stop this loop.
Holding the power button and it just continues to loop.
Power + ANY volume button and it will show the HBOOT or fastboot menu then before I can select anything turn to the powered off state and loop through (if I'm still holding the buttons the menu will show again shortly, or go back to the Google logo)
Any ideas for a solution?
try waiting until the battery drains all the way down then hold the volume down button and plug it in. if that doesn't work then all you can do is contact google support and they'll probably replace or fix it.
Hold the power button down for 20 seconds 3 times. It helped me once with a similar situation
So I have found a solution. Instead of deleting the thread I'll leave this here unless anyone else has this problem.
It seems that trying to enter the fastboot menu when plugged into a USB seemed to work.
It was either the fact it was in the computer, the timing I pressed the "power button + power down" combo, or it had just looped enough times and decided to actually stop interrupting me using the fastboot menu.
Either way, I cleared the cache partition using the recovery and it booted up fine.
EDIT: Thanks for the help, I had tried holding the combo for a long period of time (multiple loops of the booting). I also feared letting it drain in case it refused to startup again and I would have no chance of fixing it.
glad you figured that out! android can be mysterious sometimes. especially when it's on the nexus 9.
Sooo.... HDX 8.9 Saturn... Rooted using Kingroot, and Disabled OTA... and the home launcher... so I'm at the point where windows explorer opens up the kindle, but i don't see anything because I had a password on it, and ADB won't let me install a new launcher to fix my mistake... Does anyone know the fix to this or can point me to the right path?
I guess your one option is hard reset from stock recovery.
You need working adb. I suppose after the hard reset adb access will appear. But no guarantees.
Will that not disable adb anyways?
I said: "no guarantees". but I dont see other option anyway.
Can't get into recovery... What are the buttons to be holding... Vol Up + Power, right?
Just hold vol up immediately after power on.

Right I did that, got in, but it cycled out almost instantly... I tried a few more times, and left it alone.. now it won't respond to anything, not even when I plug it in... argh... Looks like its permanently dead.
i dont think that this is possible
try to leave it in charge or hold power button long, above 3 min.

just clarifying, hold vol up immediately after power on, without holding power button.
I left it on the charger overnight, and now it won't respond...
That is how I got into recovery, then it cycled out... I tried to go into recovery with only the volume up, and it wouldn't let me, and then this happened....
i'm going to hold off until Saturday, and leave it for about 5 hours on the charger... See if that does something
Yeah, so I left it in the charger overnight, and there is no response no matter what button combo I do....
so what the heck happened... I didn't do anything in recovery, unless it did something when it flashed out...
Well, I finally did the factory reset... I have the notification panel and the home buttons panel... Settings doesn't work, neither does wireless, and I have a flickering screen.
Amazon said they will send me a new one...
Search Partially works, except that I can't really turn on wifi to download an apk or turn on ADB using the option... wonder what would happen if I tried ADB now... not much point anyways since I'll get a new one, just loose root.... I can live with the new UI
