I attempted to update to Developer Preview, tablet restarted and now just displays the animated "fire" screen, for the past two hours. Do I just hold down the power button to try to restart? This is a Fire HD 6, btw.

Sounds like this was your first attempt before you had root?
In any event, your fix will be carried out by US Postal service. Get in touch with Amazon, and they'll replace it.

Same thing happened to me, I fixed it by holding the power button until it powered off, then plugged in the charging cable...waited about 20 minutes and the tablet booted up into the developer preview.
Yes, I read here that I need the developer preview so I can downgrade to 4.5.3 so I can root. My wife wants google play and a regular browser on this thing, she already has a Kindle paperwhite she likes for books. I did restart it multiple times, keeps coming back to the fire splash. Brand new device. Oh, well, back it goes, I guess. Thanks.

Try to go to recovery hold down Power Button until its off then press Power + Volume Up
In recovery go to wipe cache and to factory reset (wipe data) then reboot and try if it works!
I am having the same issue & did factory reset in recovery to wipe cache & data. Still stick at "fire".

It worked for me! I did the factory reset with wipe data, and restarted, it sat at "fire" so I just left it, and the next day when I looked at it, it was asking me what language I wanted to use. So now I'm set to start the downgrade process so I can root for my wife.
Thanks!
I had same problem, amazon sent me a new one, but mine was only a week old. Resetting it and trying to restore in recovery mode did nothing.

After waiting for 2hrs, then trying to restart it and waiting again. This solved mine, I knew there was a recovery, just couldn't figure out how to get into it. Thanks.
So i did the wipe cache and factory reset. Its still stuck at fire should i leave it in my charger or without a charger
After getting AMZN support to send me a replacement when my first KF7HD stuck on "Fire", the replacement did the exact same thing. After waiting 2h stuck, I tried this post "Wipe cache"/"Wipe data" and rebooted. 10 min. later, the developer preview starts up fine. Thanks!

So I think I officially bricked my nook tablet.
Rooted the nt, installed swype keyboard. Forgot to switch to regular android keyboard before I performed a soft reset. After soft reset no keyboard pops up in the tutorial setup screen. Performed a factory reset by holding the power button + volume up button + home button. Got the screen prompting if you want to hit home or power to format/not format. Clicked the home button.
No keyboard pops up still.
Thus you can't bypass the setup screen.
Any suggestions?
I'm thinking a visit to a barnes and noble store where you can login to the store wifi may bypass the wifi screen but you won't be able to type in your email for your account.
I get the sorry, swype has stopped unexpectedly error message even after I performed a factory reset.
if you are going to the store, you might as well ask them to reformat/re-install. They should have a microSD card with a signed image for the NT. While you are at it, maybe you can get them to expand the USERS partition and give you more than 1GB?
Force 8 bad boots *start it, wait for white splash screen with N on it then hold n button + power* for 8 times then it will automatically wipe itself.
Is that different than a factory reset?

I actually did the 8 or 10 (can't remember ) bad boots method without holding n and it still factory reset (cleared android market and root).
Edit:
Also, I got no format/don't format screen prompt. It just automatically started to wipe itself.
It's very different. It wipes the system (where you removed the keyboard from) and then it reinstalls the operating system.
Would it also reformat a memory card if you have one installed?
got my nook working again, thanks!

Hi guys,
I tried to unlock the bootloader of my Nexus 10 before rooting it. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I can't use it anymore (I either have the "Loading X" forever or a dead droid while trying to go to the recovery mode).
I'm used to do that kind of modifications (only on Samsung Galaxy S and S3 though) and I don't know what I did wrong (but I usually flashed with Odin).
Anyway, I used this tool (after enabling the usb debug and allowing unknown sources) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001868
I installed the drivers on my PC (menu 1 in the tool), then I could see my device in ADB MODE (in the tool menu). I tried to unlock the bootloader (3rd option in the menu) and it was written completed. My device reboots and nothing happens. I can access the fastboot mode (is it the download mode ?).
I have Odin.
Can someone help me to get a working device ?
Thank you very much.

Easy fix. Get to the dead droid recovery menu and then press all 3 buttons on the top. You will get into the blue recovery options. Choose factory reset.
Sometimes unlocking the bootloaders scrambles a few things on this device and it goes into boot loop. After the factory reset, you'll be fine. PM me if you still have issues.

Okay, thank you very much. I didn't know I had to press the 3 top buttons again after the dead droid screen, I thought it failed loading the Recovery Mode.
I have to setup my account etc again so I guess it is safe to say it worked.
Additionally, I tried this method after the recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467
and it worked fine. My device has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted.
hey if someone could help me im stuck myself, after i had the dead android in recovery mode i tried to flash software with the toolkit in fastboot and now when i go to recovery its just a blank screen till i hold the bottom combo again and it takes me back to fastboot

Hey,
I'm having the same problem. I get to the dead droid instead of recovery and tried hitting all three buttons again but it's just looping again.
Any ideas?

It sounds like you didn't actually perform a factory reset. The key combination to get into stock recovery from the dead android screen is Power + Vol-Up. That will bring up the option to factory reset.
So if your powered off or bootlooping, hold the Power + Vol-Up + Vol-Down until you're back in the Bootloader. Use Vol buttons to select Recovery Mode and tap Power. When the droid w/ the Red "!" appears, hold the Power button and quick press the Vol-Up button. This should take you into stock recovery. Select Factory reset. Reboot. After a few minutes, the device should boot normally.
Good luck.

Ok found a video showing that when you get to that part where there's the dead droid (the red !), you don't press hold hold all three buttons but tap them until the recovery screen shows up.
So finally did that but I still have the same problem.
My initial problem was, I received my N10, open the box, turned it on and it started freezing and rebooting. Can't get past the wifi step.
Tried hard and many times to finally get to enter my gmail account, etc
Updated to 4.3, problem persisted so I figured, maybe the factory flashed a bad rom?
So I unlocked it, rooted it and tried flashing older stock versions, same problem.
Tried flashing CM, same; PA, same...
Tried deactivating location service as suggested elsewhere: same; uninstall chrome: same
Even CM withouf GAPPS wouldnt work
So basically, I have a $500 brick. Completely useless as it freezes every 30 seconds.
Decided not to return the device because although I am Canadian, I live in SE Asia and had a visiting friend bring it to me. Way past the return period and the overall experience would be a real pain in the butt... Don't know what to do. Really hoping Kit Kat will solve it but I have doubts.
What do you think?
Sorry. I don't know enough about these things to give more in depth troubleshooting advice. I just recently got my N10 & unlocked it and based on your original post, I thought that's where you needed help. But it sounds like you got past that and got it unlocked.
Have you tried downloading a factory image directly from Google and installing that? If it's locking up on a fresh install of any ROM, it very well may be a hardware issue. You may have to file a warranty claim if possible.

Hi all,
I would like to ask advice from you all regarding my sgs3 situation below
My sgs3 is a stock one, never root or whatsoever before.
This evening, there is an update from samsung application and i update my sgs3. I did not restart them as normally it will restart itself before once completed. After few hours, i found out my sgs 3 turn to boot screen black background with white font sgs3. I remove battery and put back, then start phone again, but it still shows boot screen.
Then later, i try removing battery again, then put back and connect to the charger at home, it shows the charging indication, but never turn to green that i do not what happened and my sgs3 still cannot boot. Then, i try to do restore factory setting by push simultaneously power, volume up and home button. But, the boot logo will appear, gone, and appear again and again.
I do not know what happened to my sgs3. Any idea?
turn off phone
press home + volume up + power
then chose wipe data / factory reset and reboot

I have exactly the same problem, just as you describe.
Can't do anything. No indication that it charges what so ever.
Dead as a Dodo!!
At the moment I'm downloading the last official firmware and will try to flash that one.
If it doesn't work, I will have to leave the phone to a service center.
I will let you know how it worked out!
Don't loose the faith!!

No luck with re-flashing....
It did not work for me i'm afraid.
Sending it in for repairs on Monday!

The same thing happened to me just now. I was running Task650's AOKP Build 1/1/2013 totally stock (stock AOKP kernel, no OC or UV), I had to Odin back to UCALG1, and even then, the phone would get stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" splash screen. I had to reboot to stock recovery, Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache for the phone to boot up.
Just wanted to put this here, maybe it will be of help to someone.

I hope that you are aware that you also suffer from SDS!? (Sudden Death Syndrome)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993044
Just leave your phone to a certified Samsung service center and they will change the main board for you (for free).
Hopefully I will get mine back sometime next week!! :fingers-crossed:

I was freaking out a bit because I was stuck without a way to even get to the menu to wipe the caches. What I did was hold the home, power and volume up keys for a long time, I watched the Samsung splash logo turn on and off. It seemed that timing was important when to release the buttons. I had to wait about five cycles of the logo and then release when the screen went off, then I would see the recovery menu. If I released the buttons before the five cycles it would just reboot.
So in summary:
Hold the the power, home and volume up key for five cycles and pray like hell, viola.
I hope this helps. Luckily I had a backup of my whole device via ROM Manager and I was able to restore the device completely. If you don't have a one before you start tinkering under the hood, you are really playing with fire.
Have a great weekend
I have the H933 variant of the V30. I want to wipe the partition cache after the Oreo update. I have tried the Pwr + down arrow. And then release power button and hold again at the boot screen. The only option I have is to factory reset the phone. I don't get the normal recovery options. Any help would be appreciated.

When I reboot into recovery, I am given the same choice on my US998. I choose factory reset, then I choose factory reset again. After all that, I get a screen that shows the "unlocked device" message for a moment and then finally TWRP.
I have had a situation where TWRP was NOT installed and when I did this my phone was completely erased...
Since then I have installed Quick Reboot Pro (free!) from the Google Play store. If your phone is rooted it gives you an option to boot into recovery. It goes straight to recovery and doesn't need any of the other (risky in my opinion) steps

i succeeded only when gave up and approved Factory Reset then it finally switched to Recovery mode. Took 1 hour to find out, not a single guide on the internet or here was correct. I wonder if the reset really happened? Is reset prerequisite to run recovery mode?

Not if you are rooted. If the WTF guide I tell people to install a reboot recovery app that will take them straight to recovery.

worst case you could always use fastboot...
if your phone has twrp recovery, then it won't reset the phone. if you are running stock it will.
Agree with chazz though, assuming you have root and a bootable rom - reboot recovery is the best option
I never did really figure out why the lg phones can't boot directly into recovery using the buttons
If you install a terminal app, you can also get into recovery that way - "su" and then "reboot recovery".
I posted this on yt
I just realized magisk has the option to reboot to recovery. I've only used super su in the past.
well of course we have tons of apps, and recovery choice in power menu. but the boot shortcuts is the concern. those really suck.. can't even memorize them. need to write it down on the back of the phone
+1 here for confusion. I uninstalled Magisk after it strangely stopped working during the night and also could only to fastboot. After googling I also did the button dance to reset and yes then yes then got to twrp.
Nothing lost but strange way to go on (rooted device)
Actually, as I thought I had reset everything I updated to 21a so wasn't an entirely wasted 30 mins or so
