Kurio Tab 2 bootloop + no recovery help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
My Kurio TAB 2 got into an infinite boot loop. The battery got completely drained and when plugging the charger it will charge for a minute and then it will try to boot again. Afterward it's off (not enough battery), then again charging for 1 minute and trying again to boot, and so on. Looks like this tablet everytime it's connected to a charging source it will try to boot if turned off...
I had to unsolder the battery and charge it manually. After that tried to get into Recovery mode but it will not work. Every time it will try to boot like when normally switching it on, and after a minute, the screen goes black and then tries to boot again (boot loop). I tried to boot into recovery mode with Volume Down + Power button, then releasing the power button and holding the Volume Down button. Also the same with Volume Up + Power Button. Nothing made a difference. Every time it will just boot in an infinite loop until the batter is drained. To avoid this, I have to always disconnect and then connect back the battery.
Also tried to boot it into recovery mode using ADB tools (with "adb wait-for-device"), but without luck.
One "interesting" thing, is that when connected to the PC and booting (from itself), I can hear the sound of "New device connected" and after 1-2 seconds the disconnected sound. These connect/disconnect sounds will happen twice in the first ~10 seconds of one boot cycle.
The problem started from one day to another. My kid was playing with it as usual and after it was discharged and turned off, I plugged the charger and this loop started.
Would be great if anybody could help or has an idea of what I could still try to fix this.
Thank you!

Hello
I have the same problem here.
Is there already a solution for this?

[Q] S3 keeps restart itself

i got s3, suddenly it started to reboot itself all the time, what i see is only the samsung logo and then black, and samsung again.
the funny thing is that when i put the battery in, it automaticly start with this loop.
during the loop, when i press home+volume up, i can see the cwm screen for two seconds, and then it reboot again.
if i press home+voulume down, i see the warning in the stock recovery, but when i press volume up, nothing changed, and eventually after two seconds it reboots again.
i tried to connect it to my pc, but it dosen't show it in device manager, and have no indication that i connected it.
also, when i connect it the charger, i see circle, and then a battery for a brief second, and then the circle again.
is it simple hardware problem (stuck power button? even though it seem okay, but it may explain the automatic turn on), or half SDS?
anyway, are there any recommondations? i have'nt flashed it recently or anything like it.

as i wrote before, i can enter to both recovery modes (volume up or volume down) for something like two seconds, i can't do anything in it.
if i try to get to download mode (home and volume down) i see the warning, but either i press volume up or down, it reset itself.

the regular, about flashing custom roms, if i want to continue press volume up, restart, volume down.
either way, it restarts.
any way it is the power button stuck in 1 mode?
If phone starts on battery insertion, before you push the button then yes, power button is shorted out.

Try leaving the battery out overnight/long time, it helped when I got my phone stuck in a bootloop. But that was due to oc/uv...did you try something risky, causing it to bootloop?
no, it was in regular use, nothing risky.
yesterday i dissassembled it and checked with multimeter, it seem that the power button shorting the circuit, so i ordered a new one, going to be a surgical operation...

[Solved] 5.1.1 OTA and stuck in bootloop cant access fastboot

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.

[SOLVED] Not charging, not booting, not booting into recovery?

So I installed CM12.1 on this bad boy, and I stopped using it for weeks. Come time I found the tablet and started charging it, it just keeps restarting and doesn't seem to charge.
Occasionally I could get it to recovery, but I would at least want to get it to boot up so I could use it.... Any help appreciated!

EDIT: Solved, what I had to do was:
- During the infinite charge loop with the big battery and thunder symbol, wait for it to show the Sony logo, then let it load the CM12.1 battery (small one)
- Then hold the power button until it goes back to the Sony logo
- Boot into recovery using the volume key at orange light, then reboot into bootloader (a blue light will light up)
- Then let it charge in that mode.
- Wake up in the morning and you'll have enough power to boot up into the tablet.

Stuck on boot animation.

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.

Peloton screen will no longer boot

Hey everyone,
I have an issue with the bike tablet no longer turning on.
Previously, the bike wouldn’t boot past the P boot loader. I got it into fast boot with Power + Volume Up. There, I went to recovery. This presented a screen with an error robot and text “No command.” I powered the device off, planning to go back to fast boot and try something else, but now I can’t get the device to turn on.
I’ve tried
- holding the power button for extended periods of time
- holding the power button + volume up for an extended period of time
- directly connecting the power to the monitor
- unplugging for several hours to let batteries and capacitors drain
- using adb. Adb does not see the device, though windows device manager does recognize something is connected via usb
Ultimately, the screen is a large Android tablet so hoping someone could help out. Any suggestions?
