I came home from work this morning and my wife said my daughter was reading a book and she turned the page and it just locked up. Now when I boot it up it will go to the lock screen, but when I try to slide it to the right it will not do anything, even the clock is at the top left like it should be. Usually you can see the wallpaper on the lockscreen, but now it is just a black screen............
The only thing I can do on the lock screen is just power it off, even then, I have to hold the power button down a couple of times before it will boot up again then it just goes through the normal boot up until it gets to the lock screen and then its stuck again. What can I do to fix this? If I do a factory reset will I have to root it again?
i honestly dont know but a suggestion i see a lot is to do the hard reset which is pressing the n button along with the power button and you have to do it 8 times ill try to find a vid
If you do full factory reset you will loose root.
but the good thing is that its very easy to root
Yeah, I was afraid I would loose everything. I may wait a bit and see if this has happened to someone else before I do anything. If not, I guess I will go ahead and do a reset. I really hate to do that!
have you tried plugging the NT into your computer via the USB cable? I wonder if that would allow you more access?
I would do a factory reset and re-root if necessary. Worst thing that could happen is that you'd have to restore back to 1.4.0 before re-root.
Well I did a factory restore, made sure I was at 1.4.0 and I was, set up everything and connected to the wifi.......downloaded tgps then turned off my wifi. Went through turning on debugging...got that. Started zergy and it noticed my nook since my drivers were already installed. It recognized my nook number and asked if I wanted to root, I entered Y then hit enter. It then restarted my nook and did nothing. My tablet came up with a warning that said I may now move items from my PC to my tablet, please eject nook from computer to avoid file transfer problems. I restarted zergy and it said that my nook is already rooted???? It did not install gapps, launchers or anything.......
I did another factory reset and went through the process again and it did the same thing. I know Im missing something but I dont know what it is. This has happened to me 2 times, once I had to go back and get rid of the update proceedure and reroot and now this. Very frustrating to say the least.
I thought that doing a reset would unroot my nook??? I am wondering if now I have to unroot it and then go back and root it again?

There is more than one recovery process. The nook+power button seems to do a factory reset (reformat and restore /data). The 8 bad boots does a full factory software reinstall (reformat and restore /system and /data).
yea the 8times thing is what i was referring to
*How to make a hard reset - This reset the /system folder to factory (removing gApps, restoring bloatware, removing root, etc)
*How to make a factory data reset (Wipe Data/erase-deregister): Go to Settings> Device Info> Erase and Deregister Device - This will clean/format /data (All your installed apps will be gone)

did you eject your nook when the warning was up?
Yes, I ejected it from the pc. When I plug it back to the pc it gives me the same message.......
At this point, could I just do the one step unroot and then go back and root it again? I will not be able to do anything else to the tablet until Friday because of my work shedule, so I am gathering information until then. Thanks.
Also I was wondering if anyone else has seen this message pop up? I'm almost tempted to mess around with it to see if I can get apk files to install while using the Barnes and Nobel software since it says its rooted, lol. Then again, I don't have the 999 version to block OTAS either.
long story short. I tried to flash a newer updated copy of SuperSU or whatever to get root back after updating to 4.0.4 earlier this week.
Once I did that I was able to get back into the operating system and run Root Checker. Everything passed. I then tried WiFi tether and it kind of locked up on me for a bit. then I was able to stop it and exit out of it. I Force closed the programs. Life was good.
For whatever reason I restarted the tablet. once I did that I was stuck on the Samsung screen for at least 15 minutes.
I then tried to re-run root file and then the new updated SuperSU. Then everything went all to hell.
Then I get a message that says
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode from Kies & try again."
Now I can not boot into anything but recovery...
I am able to with that message on the screen, connect to Odin and proceed to run the "factory" restore. However it has been sitting at what I would assume is about 5% or so for a long time. at least 20-30 minutes. Should this take this long?
And is there anything else I can do to do a restore? I am fairly new to this tablet and I use it for work and of course I have a super full day of work tomorrow and really got to get this thing back up and going.
Hello, everyone! I'm in search of a hero who can help me resolve this (frustrating) issue! I'm sure you have heard it before: my phone will not boot fully; it is instead stuck permanently on the white VERIZON logo screen.
Model: SCH-I545
Carrier: VERIZON
Color: BLACK
Size: 16GB
The phone has not been rooted.
It does not have USB debugging enabled.
I have not installed any custom recovery software or mods.
There is no external SD card installed.
First, some back story. My phone asked me to perform a software update roughly a week ago. About a minute into the update, it told me the update failed. I assume this occurred because I was on the train and passed through a tunnel. Afterwards, my phone began acting up, rebooting itself randomly, and applications(such as web browser, text messaging) would randomly crash on me. I assumed another update would come to resolve the issue, but unfortunately yesterday(Sunday), my phone again rebooted itself, only this time it would not make it past the white VERIZON screen.
My goal is simply to recover my files from the device before either returning it or performing a factory reset. I have scoured the internet for hours trying to find a way to achieve this. I can boot my device into the stock recovery console and into ODIN download mode. I have tried clearing my phone's cache in recovery mode, which did not help. I have tried booting into safe mode by repeatedly tapping the menu screen, but it did not help.
I have ADB installed and a USB driver from Samsung and a USB driver from Google. I can get my phone to appear using ADB in sideload mode only while in the recovery console. Unfortunately, this is of limited use because apparently it can only be used to install software packages, and the phone seemingly rejects all attempts to install packages such as CWM and TWRK, which I had hoped would allow me to use the ADB pull command.
I have tried installing these mods using ODIN as well. Again, failure due to security apparently. :crying:
If anyone has any idea how I can retrieve the files from my phone, you'll be my hero forever!

Sounds like that upgrade definitely went wrong. Since you were upgrading to Kit Kat I'd say flash the No Wipe file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172
Your phone won't allow for CWM or TWRP recoveries since it's a build past MDK. Also if you want prior to using that Odin file go to play store and get the app " Samsung phone info" and run that app and take a screen shot of the bootloader section. Actually do that before hand anyways. I'll link you to it

hopefully people will learn by this NEVER take any update while traveling, too much can and will go wrong.............
Yea I think people have to much faith in Verizon. There not setup to handle anything but a perfect download and install when it comes to their OTAs. They're best done on WiFi at home

Hi BeefJerkyAddict,
I would reccomend to do a total full wipe with Odin, this usually solves all of your problems. All of your stuff should be clear for restoring once you do that. But after you do the full wipe, immediately go to settings and then software update because your phone will be on android 4.3 and not 4.4.2.
Here is the link with the instructions as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209
You're welcome.
Yea I guess I'm just biased to updating straight to kit kat lol if the op has the chance to stay on mk2 he might as well. And I suggested no wipe first just so not to lose data. Up to the op though

Hi guys,
Just posting to say THANK YOU for the help. After a long download, I got ahold of the VRUFNC5 No-Wipe file and successfully installed it using ODIN3 v3.09 without a hitch! All of my pictures, videos, text messages, are all right where they were, and my operating system is upgraded.
Thank you so much for taking the time to point me in the right direction. I had nearly given up!
Hi, i have little (or maybe big) problem with my Vienna. Yesterday phone asked for Wireless Update and i allowed it. So Update started to install, almost finished it. But at the end it just gave error and rebooted and then there is just Ulefone logo after what it gives No command error and just continues to bootloop. I tried to wipe cache through recovery and even factory reset. It just wipes my data and thats it. No factory reset. I cant restore backup either. It just says no SD card. I'm kinda new Android user, so i dont know what to do next. Kinda frustrated about that update. It basically bricked my phone. Anyways phone is running stock 5.1 version. Thanks who can help me with this :fingers-crossed:

This had happened to me too. Try to update it again trough sd card by getting into recovery mode (youll find vids how to get into recovery mode). The 6.0 version isnt very good (it can hanlde more apps though, I have ~500 apps). BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY; after the upgrade factory restet the phone (more than once would, I think, better). I didnt do that and I think I should, since that may enable me now to get again in recovery mode (yeah, now buttons dont work, Ive to do this via PC), my phone maybe would be more compatible with PCs and I may was able to root it. By the way, there is another xda forum about ulefone vienna where you could get more answers and Im not a professional. I hope I helped (with some months delay).
Hello. I have a Sprint M9. It had been acting flaking lately (I would try to install the latest update, and it would reboot without installing and report that the phone had recovered from an error and ask if I wanted to send to HTC). Tonight, I was trying to use DLNA to play video from my phone to my TV, I was in settings and gave DLNA permission to access my storage. As soon as I did that the phone rebooted without warning and continues in a loop of displaying the HTC logo, then restarting over and over.
I can get into bootloader, download, and recovery mode by holding down the volume down key. I have tried Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Data, but the phone still will not get out of the loop.
Phone is stock. I have never tried to root or disable S-on or load my own recovery.
What, if anything, can I do to get my phone working again?
Just tried doing what I think is called RUU? I downloaded the .exe from this site:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m9-sprint/news/
It found my phone, and rebooted into download mode. It tried to flash my rom, but shortly after trying to send the file (progress bar jumped from 0% to 100% in 1/2 second). The utility gives me a Error [155]: Unknown Error. I've tried a couple times and get the same problem each time.
The utility reports I have version 3.41.651.21 and tries to flash to 3.41.651.31
Great, now it is telling me my software has been modified. (it hasn't) The only things I've done is run the RUU and reboot into recover to clear cache/data. Bad NAND?
Well, found out why RUU wouldn't work. Low battery. Apparently it ate a lot more battery than I realized while it was in the reboot cycle. Tried manually flashing the firmware and fastboot told me the reason it was failing. C'mon HTC, if the CLI can tell me there's not enough battery to proceed, your GUI utility should be able to as well.
Still leads to the question of:
- Why did this happen in the first place
- This is actually the second time I've had a problem with OTA, with the phone thinking the system had been modified. So either the OTA failing somehow modified the system before failing, or there's a bigger issue afoot. (as noted above, this phone is stock, I've never tried to root, install a custom recovery, or anything else)

Same thing happened to me. The update that Sprint pushed last Wednesday completely bricked my HTC One M9. Same failure mode that you experienced. Sprint technical center was unable to do anything with it, so they are replacing it, allegedly ( been waiting a week for said replacement ).
I talked to a few other people who had the same problem, by the way. Someone in Sprint's QA team completely dropped the ball on this update.
Well, even after RUU it says my system has been modified and the phone will no longer boot into recovery. Just errors back to Download with the message that recovery couldn't launch.
I've also now got intermittent problems with the com.android.settings crashing. So I've thrown in the towel and purchased my first non HTC phone since the original Windows Mobile days.
Hello there. The same problem has come to my mind and the phone has been off for almost a month. Did you solve your problem? If you could solve it, how did you do it? I sent you above the original stock rom set. Nothing changed. The phone developer rum works. but the original 0pja200 rom is starting again.
my phone soft bricked, unlocked bootloader and S-off. Whether it is possible without blocking bootloader flashed RUU rom?
