Hi ! When I reboot my nook tablet to go to the cwm, only see "N" button & sandbox, and then disapear & repeated many times to low battery. I can't turn off my nook. Please give me advice!
try holding the power button until it's turned off. (may take up to 20 seconds or more)
that's what i did when my nook wasn't working.
I try hold power for a while but my nook still repeat "N" screen and then sandbox screen ==> disapear & repeat many times like that to low battery. When I plug adapter to my nook, my situation still repeat. So, I can't turn off & boot my nook.

Leave it plugged in for at least twenty minutes to boot completely, then try to power off.

To power off the nook (if you don't get the prompt) is to hold on to the power button for 20secs or so. What happened with your cwm looks like a bad install, happened to me before. Indirect created a fix for the broken recovery already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463011
just read the instructions carefully
sounds like you have one of many situations, bad app install, recovery trying to engage with a custom recovery installed or bad sd card?
I would pop out the sd and try to turn off, if this doesnt fix, I would create a bootable sd card with a recovery image on it and try and recover to it. If you dont have one, you can try and make the r3 and use it to do it.
Thank you for all support! I'll try your way. I'm a newbie on android tablet. I don't have enough experience about android tablet. Thanks again!

Hi All,
I have flashed EUViewPad 7 based on Stock rom. installed SD Card Booster, CPU Master and etc.
The flash is fine since I managed to boot it and install several apps.
Until I needed to reboot the device since the hacker keyboard always forces to close. I rebooted it and poof I am in infinite boot animation without a way to remove the battery. afraid to fiddle just waited the battery to drain so I can test again(This happened on my O1. just removed the battery, put it back and its ok)
I have drained the battery after almost 8 hours of non stop boot animation. But this device won't turn on anymore. It just vibrates when I press the on button.
Tried opening the back(crap I have scratched the back covering. now it has large scratches ) but the battery is taped . My question folks is what is the possible solution to my problem aside from removing the battery(can't even get to clockword recovery)
Thanks
Not too sure about your device, but doesn't yours have a reset button like the viewpad?
Should be a small hole on the bottom edge right next to the microphone.
Try pressing that with a paperclip if you're having boot problems.
Anyway, if you've drained the battery completely, make sure to leave it charging for a little while. Too low battery voltage will make it unable to start. 15 mins or so should be more then enough.
Try starting with both volume buttons + power pressed. Keep holding it until you see "entering recovery mode."
Let me know if this gives any results.

Ahh I have that reset button beside the microphone hole. Will try this later on. Thanks for your help and for your custom rom
Uh oh... Tried pressing the small hall beside microphone, pressed on button. No luck. tried pressing that hole and on at the same time No luck again.
Is it possible that it will mess up the whole boot process due to boot animation loop??

I'm afraid and it sounded like, from your descriptions, that the boot process has been messed up .... so, what do you got to lose by trying to "wake" it up or at least respond to commands, right ?
Try holding the power button & use a small pin to press RESET - leave it connected to the power supply/charging unit.
Try holding both volume Up & Down key & use a small pin to press RESET
Try holding both volume Up & Down key along with the Power button at the same time, and press RESET (you might want to get someone to help you to this)
Try holding the volume Down (left) key & Power button, and press RESET with a small pin.
Does any of these work in getting the screen to show life, be patient as you might have to hold it for 10 to 30 seconds before it cycle & restart/display the 3 birds ...
Chances are you will need to flash a stock ROM with the SULT3 utility, and then if successful, root it again & start over (carefully) - it might work or it might not even connect via usb at all .... worth a try, got nothing to lose at this point.
As a last resort, contact Cherry Mobile and get it repaired & sending it back to the shop .... check the warranty details in your locale, opening the rear case & exposing the battery, might or might not void your warranty coverage.
Hi Letiride,
I have tried the combinations you have specified but no avail. I can't boot this so my PC with correct drivers cannot even recognize i plugged this.
Is my Tablet already bricked?? I have bought this second hand so no warranty already.
Huhuhu Did I already have one of the "Vibrator" Android phone

Oh mine, no - if it won't power up or boot into Recovery or FTM mode, I'm afraid it's critical if not officially certified "paperweight". Try uninstalling your PC's usb drivers for the device, or use another computer & install SUTL3 utility from Viewsonic, and see if it can at least beep & signal some USB sequence loading the drivers.
Here's a link to Droid Explorer posted elsewhere in XDA (instead of pointing you to "Search" for it) Install it if you can get the yours powered on, but use it with care as it's a very "powerful" tool to explore all the hidden workings of the Android device(s).

My feeling is that the core image & boot file(s) were corrupted, damaged & overwritten, and it need to be reformatted & reflashed from a stock *.nb0 file, someone with adb might be able to - maybe, just maybe - rescue it.
Let's see if one of our fellow developers might have a better solution on where to begin b/c this is about as far as I can offer - well, you can always put on eBay for parts & hoped you didn't spend a lot as 2nd. hand.
Uhhh looks like i have no other choice but to have this repaired at service center and pay
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

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.

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.
I was in TWRP recovery flashing Xron rom b2.9 and the recovery said the zip file cant open. So it just kept doing its thing and would not let me go back to the main menu. I tried hitting home and back buttons, but no luck.
This was not found by me. I am giving credit to this amazing person who somehow found a trick to reboot the device even if your not in an OS.
"The reboot solution that I found to work all the time is to simultaneously hold the power button, volume down button and the big HP button for 30 seconds."

5th post- http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-HP-Consumer-Products-and/How-to-reset-HP-Touchpad/td-p/852893
I had an issue with my Touchpad where the touchscreen stopped responding in CM7. Volume rocker worked and power button would turn the screen on and off, but I was stuck with no touchscreen and no means to reboot. After a mild panic attack, I plugged it into my computer and luckily had debug mode enabled so I was able to adb reboot it.
But this... this is incredibly useful. Thank you for the post. I'm glad to see that the manufacturers making devices without removable batteries are giving us a trump card to hard reset the devices. My 7" Galaxy Tab has a similar function where holding the power button down for long enough eventually resets the device.
..or you can just hold power + card button for 6 seconds. no volume button needed.
Hi everyone
I'm desperate.
My TF201 (stock - not rooted - and successfully updated to the current version) works flawlessly for the first 3 months and then one day the Volume UP key stop working. Whenever I tried to lower the volume, it will automatically up it again. When this happened, I tried to reboot with the power button but the tablet wouldn't respond. So I pressed the power button a bit longer and it will shut down. But, when I tried to power it again, I will feel the buzz but the screen will remain blank. The first few times that this happened, I used a small pin to reset the tablet and it will reboot normally. However, now this procedure also has stopped working and I cannot get the tablet to boot again. When I plugged it into my PC, it will recognize it as an APX device. I found that if I let the battery drain completely, it will then power up. I have read and tried the different methods mentioned in the forum but to no avail. So after reading sledgie's post in one of the thread, I thought that perhaps the Volume UP key is definitely stuck and that's why it's booting in the APX mode every time. So, I bite the bullet and open the tablet to see if I can fiddle with the volume keys. But alas, even after making sure that the volume key is not getting stuck, the nightmare continues and every time to boot the tablet I have to let the battery drained completely. What I could gather though is that it's definitely the Volume UP key because every time if I could get the tablet to boot, after draining the battery completely of course, when the ICS Home screen will appear the volume icon also will appear by itself. I found that so long as I don't the touch the Volume key, the tablet will work flawlessly and I could press the power button to get it to sleep and to wake normally. But if I touch the Volume key then the power button will not respond.
So, as I said I'm desperate and if anybody has a solution, please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Help!
Anyone?
i think you should exchange it or send it back for RMA. Make sure you contact Gary Key with regards to APX state. I wrote in the other thread without seeing this thread, but this is what it sounds like.

Another kind of situation that nvflash would be useful.
Sent from my i9250
agreed.
Sorry to respond very late but I want to know what this 'nvflash' means and how will it be useful in my situation. Should I 'nvflash' my tablet in the circumstances?
It's not possible yet, unfortunately. Asus retains the locked bootloader key. We have a way to flash it (SBK I believe) but without the unlocked bootloader, we are not able to proceed further. This is unfortunate for both sides - customer and Manufacturer
After leaving the tablet to charge overnight, I found that it was stuck on the wave animation. Holding the power button fixed it and gave me the ability to use it again. Unplugged charger and thought tablet was ok. After a while I find that it's stuck in the animation again, so I figure a restart would do it good, after holding the power button for who knows how long I manage to restart it, but it gets stuck at the "restarting" message. After a while it falls asleep and when I wake it up, it is once again stuck in the animation. I hold power button, but this time nothing happens, so I open the micro SD thing next to the charger thing, and press the tiny red thing beside the black thing(sd card?) and it shuts down. Holding the power button to start it takes it first to the Sony text, then some more Sony text, but after that it gets stuck in the wave animation. Another thing to note is that I was using about 90% of it's storage so was thinking this is a reason.
Anyone know of a fix?
I'm open to installing a custom ROM or factory resetting it, don't really have anything important that I want to recover, just want to turn it into something usable again.
A link to one of these guides would be helpful.
When plugging it into PC via USB I cannot get it to show up in xperia Companion. It does show up in Devices I think, but I can't use it for anything.
