[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelly29:
Nothing really happens with 8 failed boots. I think it terminates the boot process before it gets far enough along for it to "count". Loading comes up, I count one thousand one....all the way to one thousand seven. Then it shuts off, often reboots itself. Same deal with CWR. Loading comes up, count to 7, shuts off. I can get to the boot menu in CM7, but I it doesn't respond when I request any type of boot from anywhere. Either hangs or restarts.

I'm trying ADB, but it won't stay connected. Flicks on right at the end of the loading process and then shuts down. :( It really sucks.

Shelly, shoot me a pm... i'll give ya my phone number and we'll work on getting it going.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 416inversed:
Sorry if this is redundant, but in very basic troubleshooting have you tried charging your Nook? It probably is more complicated/serious than a low battery, but it wouldn't hurt to rule it out.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelly29:
I finally did get it to charge to green light. Didn't make a difference. I can get it to hang sometimes when it's trying to get into CWR. And it will stay on the Boot Menu.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelly29:
Just a side note, I have another NC that I've had since Jan. Autonootered, Manual Nootered, CM7ed, brought back from the dead many a times.

Dizzy Den - am shooting you a message shortly. Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tralulu:
Has this been solved? If yes how?

Could you find a solution to your problem?

I'm having the same issue now. Bought a Nook Color in November, Autonooted, flashed recovery from ROM Manager, flashed CM 7.1.0 internally from downloaded ZIP files via ROM Manager, was working just fine for a week, stable, fast, perfect. Overclocked to 1200 MHz after a few days which made the experience even nicer.

Then installed and started Google Maps which didn't work - the Nook turned off on launch of Google Maps app.

I had set Wifi to "stay on all the time" beforehand (which might have been bad because it creates Sleep of Death syndrome as i now know).

Now when i turn it on it shows "Loading" for 7 seconds and then the screen turns off. This is when booting CM, when booting the internal recovery (shows "loading recovery" for 7 seconds) and when booting from any SD card image (i've tried at least 10 different bootable SD card images, different cards and different card readers).

It recognizes and tries to boot off SD cards - i get different "Loading" screens depending on the image, honey-colored for a honeycomb image, with two skulls for a recovery, ... So that works.

The nook seems to be in some kind of "on" state because i need to hold the power button to turn it off before i can get it to boot again.

I can get to the boot menu as you could, but booting from there doesn't do anything at all. So the hardware seems to be OK because the boot menu itself works well and for more than 7 seconds.

I can charge it and it goes to a green light so it's no battery issue.

The nook does not show up on USB - well once it did for a second but that was it.

I even tried to let the battery run completely empty so internal registers can get reset - didn't change anything.

Help! Is it bricked now?

Going to a B&N store isn't an option btw - the next one is 6500 km from here.

(This is the first time i ever ask for help on a forum. I am running a ZTE Blade with CM7 just fine, and I've been stuck often enough but always found a solution myself...)

Have you guys tried this:

Or completely restoring it to stock:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tralulu:
Tried, can't get far enough

Kingdruid, thanks, yes i've tried both of those links - sadly they don't help at all because i can't even boot SD card recovery images...

I tried various recovery images including the newest clockworkmod, but i am still stuck They all work for 7 seconds only.

So yes, a nook can actually be bricked it seems.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdruid:
When you overclocked it, did you notice it getting hotter than usual? I wonder if it was due to the overclocking. All the users I see with unrecoverable nooks is after they overclocked.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tralulu:
No, i did not notice much heat. And it was working well in its overclocked state for a few days.

Do you think it's CPU is fried now?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdruid:
I own 4 of them so I would prefer the term "Unbrickable", but at this point I'm not really sure.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:

so first noob post

i used this thread to root my nook color

problem is i have followed the steps and re done it about 5 times and every time i turn on the nook it goes right to read forever and runs the stock OS

when i boot i hold the power button for the 5 seconds, am i missing something?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallahad2000:
how did you write the image to the SD card? you can't just do the write button in winimage, you have to use the "convert virtual hard disk image to drive" or something... really should be mentioned in the n00b guides.

Sequence in winimage:

Disk->Use disk (whatever your sd card is)

Disk->Restore virtual hard disk image on physical drive (select the image you're trying to write)

Click ok on the warning and you should have a boot disk

"Write disk" is prominent but just copies the files to the disk, not resize or make it bootable.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tralulu:
Nope - no change

DizzyDen, nope, 8 failed boots does nothing. Just fails 8 times, no restore.

I'm looking to buy a sgs2 and I just wanted to see if there was any specifically good place where everyone buys them for cheap.

all I know is T-Mobile stores or calling customer service

thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] azsl1326:
You can try Walmart stores. They will definitely be less than TMobile if they have them available. They don't have a restocking fee and have a 14 day return period. Also, Amazon is a good choice as well and will typically be less expensive if they have it in stock - http://wireless.amazon.com

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babymatteo:
Wireless Advocates inside Staples or Costco will have them on sale tomorrow and friday for only $179.99 +tax. So around $195 out the door!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mixer5911:
Are those upgrade or new line prices?

I just checked Wal-Mart.com and they had it for 149.99 but it was for new T-Mobile customers. Upgrade was 199.99
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xianzai2000:
I got mine from T-mo customer care.

Here is my price for upgrade.

Retail price $350.27 including sales tax, shipping, upgrade fee

minus 250.00 phone credit

Up front cost 100.27

minus 50.00 mail-in rebate (I'm not sure whether I will get it eventually or not)

Total cost $ 50.27

Besides, I got android preferred unlimited web for $20 monthly.

They charged me for UPS ground shipping, but actually they shipped it with UPS 3-day select. That was cool too!!

I think customer care is the best place if you are a long-time customer for them.

I've been with them for 6+ years.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
No. Upfront is $529 - $250 makes it $279 - 50mir. Makes the phone $229.

Side note: Wal-Mart in the midwest still doesn't have them in stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
I was wondering the same thing. I was checking out Amazon, but it's asking me what kind of data do I want, I already have it and it's cheaper so how would I go about overwriting that.

Can I just buy the phone w/o selecting what data I want?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cashyftw:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sfsilicon:
Also check Wirefly if you are in CA. They do not charge sales tax (note it is based on the full price of the phone so around $50). They had a free activation last week but that is over now. If you have a BOA debit/credit card you can look for the additup.bankofamerica.com promo with Wirefly for an extra $50. Last I checked WF was selling new phones for $179 and upgrades for $199. Upgrades are hassle free on their website and allows you to keep grandfathered plans w/o calling a rep. Also can do single lines of a family plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K_esco:
If u have a fry's electronics around go there. They also price match. They were advertising for $250 but when the rep checked my total with the $18 upgrade fee was $158!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jester450:
I would always go with TMO stores. They seem to be the easiest to deal with if there any problems with the phone. Nothing better than being able to walk into a store and get an exchange on the spot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quantech:
It really all depends on how much you want to save versus convenience. For me, I'd rather save the extra $$$ and deal with return delays/wait if need be. I've ordered my last 2 phones through Amazon and never had any problems. Shipping was quick and free and the second phone needed an RMA which was all done free. Only hassle was being without a phone for a few days, but that's what backups are for and one of the reasons I am with T-Mo so I can just swap a sim card into another phone.

On the whole I'd prefer the T-Mo store too because they will give best service and of course if you need to return it's the least hassle and delay, but I don't want to pay $279 + tax and have to deal with a mail-in rebate when I can just order it online for $199 w/no tax and free shipping and no rebates to deal with.

Titanium Backup is really good for that, backups app data and the apk to your SD for when you need 2 restore apps.

Titanium Backup

Thanks, titanium backup looks the goods.

Can you usually restore apps okay when going to different roms?
[General Questions and Answers] nvmextc:
Apps yes, it just installs the apk. Data, depending on which data and ROM yes. I've backuped everything when using ARHD and never had a problem restoring everything when I wipe and upgrade it. When I put on MIUI I didn't let it restore all the data, just a few things to get call logs, save games n stuff.
[HTC Sensation] TheAddict94:
I have found people with the exclamation mark and the little android but my case is a tiny bit different and I wasn't able to find a clear enough, noob friendly answer.

The problem: After a notification popped up asking me if I want to download the new 2.3.4 update I agreed and downloaded everything successfully. The second I clicked ok on "install now" it just kind of shut down and showed me an exclamation mark with a little blue droid.

The phone (imported from the US) is a T-Mobile Sensation 4G.

I have a BLUE android, not a GREEN one. For some reason everyone who has encountered this problem had a green droid, mine is blue.

Someone said something about RUU, but I have no idea what that is, it's a very new phone, runs stock firmware and has ClockworkMod.

So.. any help guys? :confused:

Kernel version

2.6.35.10-gb7a86da

Baseband version

10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M

Android version

2.3.3
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Ruu is basically the base that the phone was in software wise when it is stock. It's only an exclamation point with no text? And if it has text what exactly does it say? As I understand it rooted devices are unable to revieve OTA updates. You can however work around it check out this link here and follow steps lots of reading involved for you being you got it rooted on 2.3.3
[HTC Sensation] mzmo:
Your phones rooted, so in order to do a OTA, you have to revert back to the stock recovery, meaning you will lose root but you can always root again.

Your OTA you just downloaded should be in your /sdcard/Download folder. Rename it "update.zip" & move it to the root of the sdcard. Then follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1228648&highlight=OTA+stock

This method helps update without losing data

I wan't to install CM7 and I read this instructions:

_________________________________

Instructions:

First time flashing CyanogenMod 7 to the Samsung Galaxy S II, or coming from another ROM?

Root the device and install ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions are available here.

Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.

Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.

Perform a factory reset.

Flash CyanogenMod.

Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

______________________________

I don't get the "Format the system"... and "Perform a factory reset" part

this means to do a cache, data and dalvik? and THEN perform the flash?

thx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If only there was a thread for this kind of thing already. Why did you feel the need to create a new thread, when you're quoting the one you should be posting in anyway?

It also says flash this build only if you know what you are doing. You might want to heed the warning.

Anyway, it means do a full wipe of your system, i.e. factory reset from within ClockworkMod Recovery.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Juroid:
I have Motorola Bionic which I purchased few weeks ago and was having numerous problems. Phone getting HOT, No data or data connection dropping out of the blue, goes into sleep mode doesn't turn on or off unless I take out the battery and most importantly, my battery drains really fast. With Extended battery, the phone last about 4 hours under normal use and only about 5-6 hours on standby.. I don't think the problem is the battery since I have 4 EXTENDED batteries and 2 Standard batteries which I got from Verizon. Standard batteries last about 2-3 hours in normal use. I need 2+ extended batteries to get me through the day.

The other day, I called Verizon and they send me a replacement phone and so far, I don't have issues mentioned above expect for 2. 1. Phone still gets pretty warm but at least NOT hot but I am still having problems with my battery draining really fast. Its little better with the replacement phone but still it only lasts me 4-5 in normal use and 5-6 hours on standby. The reason I know that stand by last about 5-6 hours is that before I go to sleep, I put a new extend battery in and when I wake up, the battery is completely dead.

Due to the battery drain issues, I have made the following changes and it help but very little.

-Sync email every 1 hour except for Gmail which pushes the email. I have total of 3 emails on my phone including Gmail.

-Facebook is logged off so it won't sync.

-Twitter is logged off also.

I don't have any other data sync programs running constantly other than logging in to couple of financial data application through out the day.

Per Droid-Life, I heard that there was a small batch of Bionics that were manufactured with battery draining issue and numerous other problems which I think my first phone was but even my 2nd phone, battery is draining really fast. I don't think I am that unlucky to get 2 phones in a row that are defected.

Also, the funny thing is that even when the phone is NOT in use, 4G LTE shows data going back in forth constantly and I am not sure what is causing this. I think that's whats causing my battery to drain really fast even when not in use.

Any input or suggestions will be greatly appreciate it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
for it to lose signal like that and get really hot, it's having big time issues with the antenna and obtaining a signal. so something is wrong with your phone, not the battery.

get it exchanged.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jasonrush:
Do a factory reset and don't install any apps. If it still drains it's the phone, if it doesn't it's an app causing it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] doogald:
Settings->battery & data manager.

Tap the battery.

Is there an app or two at the top of that list?

Also, do you see the sync icon in the status bar all of the time (it looks like a circle made of two arrows pointing at each other's tails.) If so, you could have a sync loop (of your Google contacts or calendar, for example) or something.
