Hello, my Kindle Fire keeps crashing as soon as the rom boots to the home screen. I've flashed two different roms, and they both do this. As soon as you see the home screen, it freezes and the only way to turn it off is by holding the power button.
Any help is really appreciated!

I've been running various CM9 nightlies for a while now and I use CWM and ROM Manager to handle updating. Today I accidentally put CM10 over CM9, it booted but things were messed up. I then figured I'd just try putting CM9 over that and see what would happen rather than reverting to a backup. Now it's stuck on the CM9 boot animation. That just keeps running endlessly.
I can't get into recovery though. I hold power, volume up and home, the phone vibrates, and Samsung appears briefly on the screen, then nothing. As soon as I release the buttons it just starts a normal boot. I'm not sure how many minutes I need to hold the buttons, but I'm pretty sure I've tried it long enough. Using power, volume down and home I got into the download screen, but I'm not sure what I should do with that at this point.
Is there some trick to getting a T-mobile phone into restore? I thought when I originally rooted it I had to release one of the buttons at a certain time to get into download mode.

Try booting into download, CANCELING, then immediately holding home and vol up. See if that works.
I managed to get into recovery by holding the three buttons and as soon as I saw the Samsung logo I released all three buttons and if finally worked. I'll keep that other method in mind if I continue having issues, thanks.
Now hopefully my backup will take.
Right now I'm on Darkside Evolution V8. I've been on it forever. Today, my phone RR'ed and then the screen stayed black and kept vibrating. I tried pressing the power button which starts the reboot process, but it hangs then returns to the black screen/vibrating. It finally rebooted to my home screen once, but whenever I hit my power button, it goes back into this reboot process. I tried going into CWM a few times, but it continued the reboot process even then. Can anyone explain what is happening with my phone, and how to alleviate this problem? Thank you in advance.
Your power button needs to be replaced. It's all over the threads here.
So I'm running CM 10.2 android version 4.3 and I started to notice that when I pressed the power button, it brought up the reboot menu instead putting my screen to sleep so I downloaded the newest nightly and figured it was probably just a bug and went to flash the latest nightly. Upon reboot, my phone got in an infinite bootloop so I pulled the battery, let it sit for a minute and then held the power, volume up and menu button to enter recovery. I got the blue words in corner that you will normally see when booting into recovery, then saw the S3 screen that you'll see right before entering recovery, however, my phone started rebooting again constantly vibrating etc. So then I decided to try and get into download and flash back to stock with Odin. So I entered download mode, pressed volume up on the confirm screen and then it entered download mode and then immediately rebooted and wouldn't stop. Is my phone bricked? I'm wondering if the power button is broken since when in download mode, it reboots which normally occurs when you hold the power button in download mode. Sorry for the long description but just wanted you guys to know what I've done so far and am experiencing. Any help is appreciated. I've been rooting phones from all manufacturers for years now and I'm out of ideas at this point. Thanks!
Definition of a bricked phone: A completely unresponsive device which doesn't turn on at all. Doesn't vibrate upon start up and doesn't have any signs of life.
You most likely have a jammed power button as that has been the issue with the GS3. Not a brick.
Clearly not bricked as the first reply explained. And for the love of god, please use some white space (paragraphs) next time.
If you think that a button is jammed, see if you can physically unjam it without causing damage. If you believe that the flash may be messed up, the mskip's Samsung Toolkit may be able to reflash a known good ROM even with a stuck button. And look into some of the button remapping apps like the aptly titled Fix Broken Power Button app.
Good luck.
I loaded a ROM and now the unit cannot get past the ANDROID logo at start up...
So I attempted to load the factory ROM, but the unit won't now go into recovery mode, it just has a black screen...
Please help me!

While at the Android logo, did you push the reset button and waited for the system to correct itself? This will
happen when you load a fuse-prom the first time.
I have tried both the "RST" button push at the Android logo, and the smaller button that is not labelled. How long do you think it should take? Neither button seems to return the HU to normal, it just sits there at boot logo.
The recovery mode no longer works either, so it appears I am totally stuck!
Thank you for your help so far. Will go and try it again.
OK. Just tried a quick push of the reset button and it did nothing. Retried with a long push and it turned off the screen but nothing else happened. A push of the "RST" button just cycles the unit and it sits at the boot logo again.
Press reset button and power button together
After about 5 secs release reset button, but keep pressing power button
When booting screen appears release power button.
It boots into recovery.

Marius, thanks for the reply. My unit has no hard buttons, so this method won't work for me. I already got the unit into recovery mode ot apply the ROM, but after the unit rebooted the recovery screen is no longer working, it is just black with a few vertical bars displayed top left...
It is truly annoying.

My unit is on its way back to Amazon. Nothing worked at all and I tried every recovery method on here.

Hi all, my Tab S 10.5 (T800) was running stock MM with no root. I tried using the Adoptive storage enabler patch from this site. After installing the TWRP using Odin and flashing the adoptable storage patch, I am stuck in that stupid reboot loop. I did selected "Allow modification to system partition..." in TWRP. I managed to apply the batch and after a number of attempts boot successfully, changed to internal storage etc but still getting random reboots all the time now. Read more on the site; then did cache clear, factory reset via recovery and then also flashed back stock MM firmware - everything successful but still getting random reboots.
Just to mention, the tablet has recently had a brand new original battery so that is not the problem. It was working fine before I attempted the TWRP/Adoptive storage patch or stock firmware flash and now getting random reboots (sometimes right at startup logos and sometimes soon after booting up).
This appears to be a very common one on these Samsung tablets so no clear reason anywhere why it happens. Any suggestion for a quick fix for this please. I am getting random reboots at the moment all the time since I tried flashing the recovery/patch/stock firmware. Any help would be appreciated please...
update
Just to provide quick update and info:
Purely by hit and trial, I have found that if I keep hold of the power button (pressing it constantly since power up), it goes past the initial boot loop consistently and boots the device up. But then, once it hits the limit for holding the power button (think 30 secs), it vibrates and turns itself off (which I think is normal behaviour). So I thought this is interesting to share as not something I have read anywhere else. Not sure what difference it makes to the startup by holding down on the power button but that does not appear make it loop. Of course, this is not a solution as the tablet eventually shuts down after 30 secs of holding the power button.
The power button itself seems fine and not broken/damage or anything - clicks fine and solid and works fine every time. Also the random restarts does not happen in recovery/download mode so I take it the power button is not faulty as else, it should be happening for everything.
Again, requesting everyone for some help please as I am a bit stuck what to try next.... thanks in advance!
anyone pls...?
Bump again... in the hope one of the experts will jump in to help!!
Thanks in advance
I'm experiencing the same exact issue, The tablet will power up to the setup screen and I can almost finish the setup process but then it vibrates and powers down. PLEASE... someone, chime in and help with this problem.
Thanks In Advance
