None of my keys work. I can't "get" anywhere within Clockwork. I made a backup, rebooted and all was good. I booted into recovery, wiped cached, wiped dalvik and now it is just sitting there. It says dalvik cache wiped. Volume up, volyme down, n, power....none of them do anything.
Help please
This is normal, don't worry.
Just reboot holding the power button down and then again to turn it back on, but this time hold down the "N" as well so that you can go right in to CW.
Then install from there.
Thank you so much.
I have flashed 100 things on my Evo and don't ever recall getting stuck in recovery, and if I did, I would have done a battery pull.
All of this is a new learning experience. Which I enjoy It's humbling to realize that one can become confident with what they *think* they know, only to find out later how much they have yet to learn.

My nook froze while in recovery. I was wasn't flashing anything yet just deleting the caches. Is there any way to force shutdown while in recovery besides letting the battery drain?
Strange, it reinstalled my last rom instead of boot looping.
Nevermind just gotta hold down the power button. Hope recovery is volume down and power.
I've had that same prob a few times.... I just wait a few min in case its still working, then just hold power till it shuts down.

Hope your right. I just date wiped again and it froze it again. I'll leave it along for a few.
Edit: Does anyone know what i might be doing wrong. I go into recovery wipe and it freezes. I've tried like 4 time already
Mine freezes every time I do a data wipe also. Have to force power off and go back in.

how do you make it go back into recovery. volume down and power? that doesnt work for me.
I've shut it down but when it reboots as i'm holding down volume down it boots the rom back. After i go into recovery again to from rom manager the cycle just continues.
n button + power to boot in recovery
Some clarification....
To do a hard power off at any point hold down the n and the power buttons together for about 7 seconds. This works is any state.
To boot into recovery takes some practice. From the completely off position you need to hold down the n and the power button for a specific amount off time. Releasing too soon or too late will not work.
For me it works if I release after 3 or 4 seconds, once I see the "Touch the Future..." words. You really do need to practice!

You're not the only one. My recovery hangs any time i clear dalvik cache and requires a reboot. As for booting into recovery, like the poster above mentioned, it takes some practice (n+power release 2-3 seconds after you see Read Forever text).
What I learned.
After clearing "dalvik cache" or a "data wipe" will cause my recovery to lock up. After unsuccessfully being able to boot into my recovery, wipe, and install the rom I decided to do something stupid. Knowing that the nightly #77 wouldn't boot without a kernel, I flashed it via rom manager app. I was not able to flash the needed kernel but for some reason I thought that flashing the rom would redo my recovery. I was dead wrong. What I was left with was a NC which hung at the boot screen due to not having the .32 kernel and device which for the life of me wouldn't be put into recovery. I really think I lost recovery because I tried and tried but couldn't get it into recovery. Naturally, I freaked out. With advice from Paul22000 who provided me the link on how to boot recovery from an sdcard, the nook was fixed 5 hours later. Only 10 minutes of work, but I had to leave it NC out of service until I got back from taking the girlfriend out to watch bridesmaid. Oh, and I can't forget the quick trip to walmart for an extra sdcard.
Anybody up for a challenge? My phone has only given me problems the past several months, and now it's currently stuck in a boot loop on Team Hacksung's CM9 Build 16. Apparently restarting my phone was a bad idea, as that's all I did to set off this new problem. The best part of my situation: The power button is broken, it has been for a couple months now. I remapped my volume keys to wake/unlock my phone, and the search/magnifying glass would lock it.
Here's what my phone can do at the moment: It can turn on, get to the AT&T screen, and get stuck in the ICS boot animation. It can charge with that green battery icon and the five dots below it. I was also able to get it into recovery (once), but I can't select anything because my power button is broken.
When it started giving me this issue last night, I just let it run until the battery died this morning. It didn't help. I'd love to have a somewhat usable phone again, does anybody have any idea on what I can do here?
EDIT: I accidentally got it into download mode somehow, so that must be a good thing.
get a jig.
Hi! My power button is broken as well, but I found out while I was flahsing a ROM recently that I could use the home key in CWM recovery as if it was the power key!
Maybe try that!
If it works, I suggest Factory Data Reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, and reflash your ROM. Then reboot recovery and flash it again.
After you flash it the second time fix permissions and then reboot and see if that fixes it.
I am hoping someone can assist me. I have had Android loaded for over 2 years now, and I somehow may have killed it yesterday. Here is what happened. Please help me revive my favorite tablet.
I was going to load Jelly Bean 4.3 and saw in that for most of the ROMs, it recommended to increase system partition to 512 and provided a link. I downloaded the zip file.
I have TWRP, so booted to TWRP and then performed a Factory Reset Wipe, which deletes everything, and is what I do always before a clean install of a new Android version.
I installed the "File to increase partition size to 512".
The next step was to install the ROM, but when I clicked install in TWRP (it is an install program that has some touch capabilities), TWRP just looked back to the home screen, and I go the message:
"No system found". or something similar.
It was in a loop, so I decided to click Reboot to see if I could boot back in to WebOS or my last Jelly Bean version.
When I clicked reboot in TWRP, it said rebooting at the top, but the progress bar didn't move for 15 minutes.
While this was happening, I could not click anything in TWRP, when I touched the Power key, it when to a screen that did nothing, other than let me back to the previous screen if I swiped it, like a confirmation message. It just took me back to the screen where it was locked.
I figured I was well on the way to trouble, so I decided to hard shut down while it was in this state.
I pushed Home, Power, and Volume Up/Down keys until it flickered and the power went off.
Now, I cannot get it to show any life.
I plugged it in and charged it, but still not response.
Can I get it to connect as a USB even though it is unresponsive? Maybe to start over with WebOS Doctor?
Or, is there something else to try?
Please help me, XDA Dev community. I will try anything.
Thank you in advance for your help.
did you find fix

I have the same Prob .it will not start did you find a fix? if so could pass it on thanks
Found Fix
I ended up visiting the tpdebrick-v004 thread on rootzwiki. I booted my PC to LINUX 12.04 Live CD and applied the fix. I also ended up charging it for 2 days and it finally powered on. I then did a WebOS Doctor - plenty of instructions on how to do this. Then I used ACMEUninstaller2 to fully remove all Android. Then, I installed the latest CM10.1 with ACMEInstaller5, which automatically increases the partition to 600MB. Took 2 days off and on to do all of this but it worked.
The first step is to charge the battery for 1 full day, then press Power+Home to try to reset. If that doesn't work, try to push Power only, and boot into WebOS if you get this option. From there, you will be ready to start restoring.
If your problem is something other than what I have, the solution that fixes 95% of TP brick problems is tpdebrick-v004 by JCSullins. That should fix you.
Thanks
a fix for hp

this worked for my tp good luck
1. Plug the charger in and connect it to your touchpad.
2. Press and hold home+power together for 1 minute. If no response, release, then hold both for 1 minute again.
3. If 2 does not work, keep the charger connected, release the buttons (2) then press and hold home+power+volume up together for 1 minute. Release, then press and hold home+power for 1 minute.

If that didn't work, try pressing the power and Up volume button at the same time. This should show the usb logo. Use WebOs Doctor to revive the tablet. This will wack moboot. Use ACMEInstaller 5 on the pc to install moboot (0.3.8), CWM or TWRP zips from the webos /cminstall folder.
Hi people,
I hoped I would never have to ask for help with my phone, but its randomly bootlooping and I have no idea why or how to fix it.
Basically, I was updating 2 apps on google play, one app updated so I went to open it while other app was updating, and my phone froze. This was slightly strange as it doesn't happen often, but google play always makes my phone lag when updating apps so it wasn't completely unexpected. So held down power button to restart it, then made that final app update again, locked it and left it. 10 minutes later I went to unlock my phone but found it seemingly turned off and feeling extremely hot. turned it on again, and bootlooped (did the 'moto worlds' animations thing then got stuck on rippling moto logo). Absolutely no idea what could have caused it. THis is where I need your guys' help, cause I have no experience of this on a moto X. I held down power button+voldown and got a menu (no idea what its called), tried every option and nothing did anything, there was no recovery, factory and SB tools went to bootloop. pls help!
Thanks in advance!

If everything is stock with stock recovery then hold power + volume down and it should boot into fastboot mode. From there choose recovery and press the volume up. If you get into a screen with a red exclamation mark and a android guy then hold power and volume up for 2 seconds and release. This will bring up the recovery and from there choose wipe cache partition and press power button. This will wipe the cache and hopefully should fix the bootloop you are having.

this hasn't worked, it was seemingly stuck trying to wipe the cache for over 5 minutes, so I held power button to reboot it and it still bootloops.
Okay I managed to wipe cache and complete it, hasn't worked, and when I went to do it again it reboots after 10 seconds of trying to wipe it. Am I right in assuming I'll have to wipe data?
If you are still having issues....yes...you may have to try doing a factory reset. Data will be wiped.
If that doesn't help, you may have to flash stock firmware fresh. If you can get your current version files.
Don't downgrade. You'll likely brick.
Yup, ended up wiping data and now its fine. Thanks to google my photos were already backed up, so I didn't lose too much. Thanks anyway guys

What were the two apps you downloaded?
I'm running deviant development rom (Jameson's rom I think). I would be specific but, i can't boot it up.
So what happened was... I decided to change kernals because I was getting some reboot issues.
Wiped cache and dalvik. Installed the Nadia kernal. Wiped cache and dalvik again just to be thorough.
Tried to reboot phone and the Samsung splash screen comes up for about 2 seconds. Looks like it's about to boot and then nothing. No matter what I do. Hold volume down button and power (no boot to recovery). Hold volume up and power (no download mode).
Wtf?
What can I do to get to recovery so I can install my backup?

Yes sir. Indeed I did.
Very strange that it won't go to recovery or download mode. I don't get it.
I am afraid u might of wiped the system.

It's volume down home and power for download mode.

ummmm you are the man!! I swear that since I've gotten my Note 4 that I have been using volume down and power to boot to recovery and it's always worked. Maybe I'm thinking of my SGS4?
In any event, I'm now in recovery and I should be good to go from here... thank you guys!
Ah yes, the good old finger exercise to get into recovery/download mode lol
lmfao... i can only imagine the sense of relief. amongst other feelings.
True ^ like stupidity and anger (from being so stupid) lol
But hey, I'm up and running so no harm no foul lol
nope... and your not out hundreds of dollars. glad youve got it going . be careful lol...
