I pulled my nook out of my backpack and the screen is broke. Not the glass but some internal part, theres just lines and more lines. I was on the phone with barnes and noble and we trouble shooted and they're going to send me a new one. One problem it's rooted, how can I factory reset it? Even though the screen is broken it'll still turn on and can get into adb, any ideas?
Swyped from my supersonic
ADB into the Nook.
Make file system read/write go to / and type
rm -r * (wipe it).
Are you on the NOOK or the NOOKcolor?
This sounds like a problem that occurs frequently with the original NOOK's eInk screens, for no apparent reason. It is just some glitch with the eInk technology that causes them to short out like that. If so, it is covered under warranty, just perform a factory reset using the power button.
If you are on the NOOKcolor, I haven't seen this issue, but you can still set it back to factory default in a similar manner utilizing the power button/volume down/ "n" button combo to force the reset.
You can find more in depth instructions on how to perform the reset on the interwebs.
Hope this helps.
Or use the first posters method. That should work too lol.

Nook color and I have clockwork recovery so I can't do that, if it possible that 8 failed boots would work?

Hi Guys,
This issue has been really p*****g me off over the last two days... so, would reapply appreciate any help on this...
Yesterday or day before, I was just scrolling through the menus of the phone and decided to do a horizontal calibration (i've never done this since the getting the phone about two months back).
Settings > Display > Horizontal Calibration
And ever since I did the calibration, the screen has been really screwing up with me. Basically, what happens is that, a certain area of the screen gets automatically clicked!! This happens to a specific area of the screen. For example, when I get to the home screen from the app drawer, the widget that I normally have in this area gets clicked on for no apparent reason, and then I have to hit the back key to get back to the home screen. This happens about 5 times and then seems to go away for a while. However, it happens all over again when I use the phone after a little while.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the attached screen capture of my home screen, I have highlighted the area of the screen where this happens in red. This happens not only from the home screen, but from within any open app as well.... For example, when I view the "my apps" section in the Android Market app, the app that happens to be listed in the above area get automatically selected!!!
I have re-calibrated the screen, re-started the phone and the only thing I've left to do is a hard reset. I'm not too keen on doing this as I don't fancy having to re-install 70+ apps all over again!!
Have any of you guys encountered anything like this ?
Would really really appreciate any help on this as this is really flipping me over!!
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
anyone......?

[Q] Auto Clicking - Sorted
ah! no replied at all!!!
neways, finally got this sorted by having the screen replaced!! luckily the phone is still under warranty... otherwise it would hav cost me around 250$ to get it done apparently (according to the service center guy who did it)!!
tried hard resetting, data+cache wipe and even flashed with a different ROM (darky's).... but nothing worked.... so, finally took it to the service center... luckily those people didn't notice that the phone has been rooted and all that plus, got a gud rappo with one of the technicians over there, so got it back the next day as well....
cheers.....
On every rom I've tried so far, the OK Google voice command sometimes works from the lock screen, sometimes not. When I go to check the settings for voice control, the"Always on" and "Personal results" are grayed out and obviously I can't use OK Google from the lock screen. But then sometime later the options are back and no longer grayed out. It works when it wants to and I have no control over it.
Is this a known bug? Or is there some custom rom setting that's interfering with voice detection? Very strange.
I thought it depended on whether the device was charging or not

No it doesn't. The Nexus 6 has the always listening feature like the Moto X. It's just weird that's been broken on 3 different roms.

Anyone have an issue where the 1st time you initiate the okay Google command that it brings up an unsuccessful web search? I have to initiate it a second time and it works. If I uninstall the Google search update everything works fine. Only when I update it do I run into this issue.
try wiggling these toggles? might help?

Actually yes, I have done that. But it's only a temporary fix. I don't see why, after wiping my device 3 times, and it still keeps happening. When I switch roms, I make sure to do a complete wipe from twrp (factory reset, then advanced and hand select wipes except internal storage, then wipe cache and dalvik before reboot into new rom) I don't understand why 3 different roms have the same issue.
At this point, I'm so happy with Candy rom that I can overlook this issue, but it's just nice if everything would work as intended.

Hey Guys, this one is a doozie. My fire 7 screen has mirrored itself. The touch panel is regestering the correct locations and a screenshot sent to the computer looks fine, but the screen is mirrored on the tablet (as in it reads correctly when held to a mirror. This is not the RTL layout in the developers options. Even the Amazon logo during startup is mirrored. It happened randomly when I turned on my tablet from sleep mode, and it hasn't been the same since. Also, no, this is not a rotation error as not matter what the screen is rotated to, it is displayed wrong.
I have restored to stock and installed TWRP and a custom rom to see if any of those would fix the issue to no avail. I also took the tablet apart, inspected the logic board, ad disconnected/reconnected all internal connections, but that didn't make a difference either.
Is there any way to fix this? Amazon won't fix it without me paying, but a new Fire is cheaper than a repair (although the new ones are locked down). It seems to be a kernal/boot/weird bit that got flipped somewhere, but I haven't been able to track it down.

Sure you have the right forum (5th gen Fire)? I assume device has the 5.0.x bootloader as you referenced TWRP which can be booted but not installed. You could try reflashing the bootloader from this thread. Beyond that there may be a hardware or low level firmware glitch that can not be repaired.
I've just taken delivery of a Note 9, and I can't find anyway of configuring the phone so that once the "screen saver" screen has gone dark, one can be aware of a delivered message (if you didn't hear it) without constantly keep "liveing" the phone up with the power button to check.
All my previous Samsung and HTC phones had a little discrete flashing light, which made one aware of any awaiting incoming messages, without having to physicaly constantly check the phone every few minutes, "just in case'!
I hopeing that there is a way to incorporate a feature like this, or it goes straight in the bin?!
You can rule out in battery savings or go the app and set up what you need.my message just pup up.you can even set it as a hidden message ,just a notification

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but I forgot to say that you're dealing with an idiot here!!
I've gone all through the settings menu and turned off anything that relates to saving power, in any shape or form, but still no joy.
As for creating an application to reconfigure the phone, I'll afraid that that is way beyond me, unless you can actually list me a "stage by stage" set of instructions to preform it?
I am quite willing to give you/someone a small fee to do this on my behalf, as it will save me throwing it away. Ta

Did someone just send me something, if so, could it be sent again, as I went to open it, and it dropped out of sight, never to be found again!
This is I think all steps to get the message on the front screen.Message on locked display light up screen.

If you want something more like a Christmas three.Like led on display search for AOE in play store.Needs a lot off rights du to android 10.But you get something like this.
When i connect to Car stereo via Bluetooth (what forces absolute volume) the phone shows Volume limit warning. I can not get past it until disconnected.
So i have to deactivate Volume limit beforehand.
Is that a known issue and is Samsung going to fix that?
Your browser is not able to display this video.
Clear system cache.
Network reset.
Developer options>bluetooth, try some of those options
Thanks for the response.
Network reset had no effect.
Not sure how to clean system cache. I could clean cache on individual apps, tho i dont know which ones.
And I'm not familiar with Bluetooth Developer Options other than 'disable absolute volume' - what i don't want.
Off the boot menu, Samsung change access to it I think, Google it. Try that first.
Double check all sound and bt settings including hidden menus.
Try these and the Absolute Volume as well.
Play with it... Android's wuv attention.

Unless you did a major firmware upgrade, suspect malware, or think hidden user settings were altered* or corrupted I would avoid doing a factory reset as the issue is likely to reoccur. Instead try to find the root cause.
It's likely a settings issue. Try resetting the other device as well after the network reset so the whole mess reinitalizes.
Hack away at it... Samsung's have weird little glitches sometimes like with the spen bt. They resolve themselves for no apparent reason by just playing with them, repeatedly. Never to return.
*poorly written 3rd party apps can do this occasionally, and uninstalling them doesn't fix the issue. A factory reset will clear that if other means fail.
Spontaneous data partition corruption is rare; single event upset can effect any of the firmware or software. A inappropriate setting though is very common.
Thanks for the Background informations. I see where you are coming from and in that spirit I tried everything you mentioned. Including cache wipe from recovery mode, erase some suspicious apps, played with the Options. No success yet.
I guess i keep at it.

Try a hard reboot (simulates pulling the battery) too. Sometimes this clears glitches but normally shouldn't be needed.
