I'm running CM7 and I guess my tablet locked up in the middle of the night or something. I cut it on and sometimes it won't even get to the N and sometimes it gets to the N, stays there for a second, and then cuts back off. Is there any way to bring it out of this bootloop?
Edit: I got it to boot to the Cyanogenmod boot screen twice, but it keeps cutting off from there. Sometimes the Team-B screen comes up, sometimes it just cuts at the N screen. Other times the screen just flashes. I can't even seem to get it to boot into clockworkmod using the button press.
Edit2: It booted into CWM... I was doing some button presses and it shut off. It seems like the battery died and there's not enough power to turn it on, but yet I had it charging all night.
It happened to me before, luckily I had a spare iPad cable that used more volts lol
It seems like when this problem occurs, the Nook wants more energy from the AC, and yet, I have no fix for this problem. I went back to stock before this occurred.
I think you should hold the power button for 20 seconds.

Yeah, be sure you're using the B&N factory cable and adapter. Also, don't use the a PC to charge your NT, always use the AC adapter.
It appears that the place I bought it from did not give me the correct charger and the strongest thing I have is 5 watts at 1 amp.

Hello everyone,
I got a question. Yesterday, my phone shutdown do to no more battery. Once I got home (about 1h30 after), I plug-it into my computer for a good slow charge. I noticed the led was blinking red instead of staying on, but I though it was due to critical low battery. After 3 hours, still the same. I try to open it but nothing happened. Then, I noticed that when I touch the screen or button, the phone vibrate.
I then unplug and try again, same thing. I try plug into the wall charger, samething.
Then I proceed to hold the power button for 5 seconds. All three touch button start flashing and stayed on, but no joy, still vibrate when touching anything with screen turn off (not just no backlight, no image at all).
I manage to found out that holding the button nearly 10 seconds, it force a reboot and then was OK and charged at 70%.
I'm wondering what's the deal here. Is it a problem with the stock rooted rom?
Thanks

Had and still have an issue today. While driving earlier yesterday, I was listening to music in my car with phone connected on headphone jack. It made a buzzing noise( that came through car audio) , I disconnected and removed battery. I replaced battery and phone will not turn back on at all, will only show both Samsung logo's then go black screen. The phone will only power up for a total of 7 seconds from initial power up vibration on any combination of buttons,or even using a JIG
which went right into download mode.
- If I plug into power source , phone will just vibrate.
- I removed battery and replace, both Samsung logo's will appear then turn off.
- If I hold volume down + power button and place battery in, it will go into download mode. In this mode I can hit volume down to restart but it will just stay on black screen. Also if I hold these buttons down and do nothing the screen will just go black after a few seconds.
- I can also put into download mode to hook up to ODIN using same method and pressing volume up, but will say downloading then shut off.
- I've tried holding down volume up+down and power and it will not go into recovery.
- Odin with recognize it for a second (say device plugged in) and start to download files then it will say device unplugged after a few seconds
I've been looking at unbricking and unrooting threads with no luck. Any help is appreciated.
I don't know about the buzzing sound, but the rest sounds like a dead battery. Are you sure it's charged or that your charger didn't die on you? I don't believe phones brick after the flash is up and running.

Yes I'm 1000% percent sure its not a dead battery and even had it at AT&T warranty center this morning having them look at it. I was trying my luck even though its out of warranty. This issue is like none I've heard, because of the fact that phone actually powers up and I can get into download mode within those 7 seconds, but will shut off after. I've timed it till it powers off.

Am having this same issue with my girlfriends phone just as of a couple hours ago. It's completely stock and just recently received an OTA update a few days ago, she showed me bragging how she can watch videos and do other things at the same time now knowing how much I want a Note lol, she's had zero issues with it other than the battery getting very hot while charging a week or so ago and seems to be very slightly bulging now that I've looked at it. Out of nowhere today as we're walking through a parking lot and she's carrying it in her hand, not even using it, she says something is wrong with her phone and hands it to me with it vibrating every couple of seconds and not reacting to any buttons. I take the battery out and when we get inside put it back in and without even pressing anything it goes to the Samsung logo, black, animated Samsung logo, then turns off and goes back to vibrating every couple seconds. I look up the button combination for recovery and download mode and all that, I try recovery and it does the same vibrate every couple of seconds but never goes to recovery, and if I take the battery out, hold down volume down, then put the battery in it comes up with the warning about installing ROMs and all that, weather I press volume down or do nothing it stays at that screen for maybe five seconds then turns off and the only way I can get to the download mode is to take the battery out then press volume down. I have the Sprint Samsung Epic 4G and the batteries aren't the same but are very similar, mine is just shorter and 1500mAh, hers is taller and 2500mAh. So for the heck of it I put hers in my phone and hold it enough to where it connects and turn on my phone without issue, it boots up and shows 70% on the battery, I now have it plugged in and charging the battery at the moment with no issues. I put my battery in her phone and held it till it connects and it does the same Samsung logo, goes black, Samsung animated logo, then turns off BUT no vibrating anymore. If I press ANY button though as long as it's being held it vibrates every couple of seconds and if I hold volume down while I connect the battery it goes to Download mode but can't do anything and it turns off after about five seconds same as before, still no recovery access either. Heard that there is a power button issue with this phone and for the heck of it I've wiggled and pressed the power button with no charger or battery connected for around half an hour just to see if I can make it better, but no luck.
Hope to hear a solution to this. I would take the back cover off and clean the power button but I'm not sure if that would void the AT&T insurance, not going to try till I know I can get away with it without them knowing because if I can't fix it it's getting sent off for repairs.
EDIT: And sort of following captemo's suggestion I took a metal box, laid a hoodie over it for a bit of padding, then moderately bounced the phone on its power button side (without letting the power button be pressed/pushed, by letting it hang over the edge of the box) for a minute or so as if thinking the power button was stuck pushed in and I was trying to knock it back out, then put its battery back in and what do you know it turns on fine now. Weirdest way I've ever had to fix a phone, but hey it works now so the girlfriend will be happy.

Sort of is about right, glad you got it going. Many will complain about the button still clicking even though button is actually stuck. Many have cited some very simple sounding instructions for cleaning power button contacts with minimal deconstruction of phone. Using swab and alcohol. Run a search in q&a, sure you will get something.

I tried the button with no resolution. I just went ahead and jumped ship and bought Note 3. Thanks to everyone who tried to help out
Hi All,
I was out a couple of days back and my battery died. No trouble, come back home and charge it up. Worth noting that in recent months battery performance has been poor with a full charge only lasting about 8hours or so. I put this down to a new ROM I flashed as well as natural deterioration (18 month old S3).
Plug into the wall, red charging LED comes on, but the battery splash screen does not. Tried another charger...same. Thinking nothing of it I go to bed and wake up next morning to be greeted by a green charging LED. However, still no battery splash screen. I try to boot...it doesn't. When I "power on" the bottom LED buttons do light up white and go off after a few seconds. When I press the hold button again, they also come on for a few seconds. If i press the hold button while the button LEDs are on, they go off.
This makes me think the screen has broken as both the hold button and the charging LED is doing what it would do...but without any screen activity. However, it was not dropped or put under any pressure in any way. I have opened it up and also made sure the ribbon is undamaged and connected properly. I have tried calling the phone to no avail. It also does not vibrate or make any noises. Perhaps the battery doesn't have enough juice? Its as if its on the battery splash screen, I just cant see it.
I should mention the screen is infact cracked from an incident about 6-8 months ago. It was however, fully functional. Presumably, this will unfortunately stop me from sending it in. It was also using a flashed rom (CM11) and a flashed kernal (Boeffla).
I used a multimeter and measured 3.96v across the battery so that's fine. I can't test the current as I cant break into the S3 circuit and I dont have a resistor on hand to put some load on it.
Next steps?

Try to put it in odin mode (power+vol down+home then press vol up to agree that you are now in odin mode). You should see it in odin.
If you dont see it, your battery or energy system of your phone is broken. Otherwise your screen is probably broken?.

I've managed to get it into download mode and too show up in odin. I can also get it to show the files in Windows if i wait after holding the power button.
This all indicates it is in fact booting up and the screen is broken...
...BUT...no sound...no vibration...and no calls received
Its as if its only half on. Beginning to suspect a catastophic motherboard failure. Is it possible the battery is at fault? Its as if a whole power rail providing for the phone receiver, loudspeaker, vibrator and screen has gone.

When I hold the power button to turn the phone on, the screen remains blank. No HTC logo, not even on-but-only-showing-black. I mean blank as in the screen does not even turn on. The phone itself does seem to be on, because after a while of it being "on", when I touch the screen anywhere the phone gives off a slight vibration, however the screen still is blank.
My phone was working just fine yesterday, I have no clue what could have caused this. My phone is (or was) running Android 4.4.2 COMMOTIO, with CWM touch recovery by PhilZ if I remember correctly.

Was the phone dead? Have you tried booting into Hboot/fastboot? When you plug it in do you get a orange light saying charging?
When I plug it into the outlet to charge, the orange light blinks on and off about 20 times then it just stops altogether. I tried hbooting it as well with the volume key + power but no luck.
EDIT: I just read that one should leave the phone plugged in for about 20 minutes before expecting it to take a charge. I will wait 20 minutes or so and report back what happens if anything.
EDIT: IT'S ALIIIIIVVVEEEEE!
Now I will tell how it happened, formatted as green text story
>be me
>be at night
>rezound plugged into wall for like 20 minutes
>no more orange light blinking
>notthiscrapagain.jpg
>unplug phone
>vibrating when I touch the screen
>but screen still off
>decide not to pull battery this time
>set it down for a minute
>screen isn't vibrating to touches anymore
>be like "battery must have ded"
>about to take off back shell
>vibration is felt
>turn phone around so I see screen
>mfw green htc boot logo shows
>mfw kitkat boots up
>thatwasclose.gif
(For those who don't know, mfw="my face when...")
So my guess is that the battery simply must have died while the phone was off. I am not sure about all of your rezounds, but yes, mine does discharge when turned off. Yes, even when it is on airplane mode.
Thanks to pball for attempting to diagnose the issue, by the way .

Im on a trip, and my battery died. When I got to the hotel, I immediately plugged in my tablet. As soon as it got to 1%, it started booting up, but because of how much battery it uses just to boot, it basically died a second or two after it booted up. Then, it repeats. As soon as it gest 1%, it starts turning on again, then when it gets to the lockscreen, it powers down. It's like a bootloop, but I can't get out of it :crying:

You try holding the pwr button for about 10 seconds or maybe longer when it's trying to boot? It might force it to just shut down.
There's a "forced Shutdown" button right by the SD card slot (it's colored yellow in my sgp561, maybe different for other sub-models). Press that button for 10+ seconds using paper clip tip or similar pointed object and it will shutdown completely.
Another possible solution is to plug the charging usb cable to a high current usb charger (4 amp+) that should be able to supply the energy demand at close to 0% battery charge.
Another option will be to boot into bootloader. Bootloader uses barely any battery. When it's not plugged in and off, press and hold power+volume down. Then plug in. You could try to do that while plugged in, but likely not to work.
