Last night my Xoom went into sleep mode after I had looked something up as usual. When I went to use it again, it was dead. Absolutely nothing. Plugging in the power cord never showed it getting a charge. I seriously thought it was dead for sure.
Solution:
Hold power button and volume up button and system came back to life...sort of. I got the motorola logo but at the top of the screen it said something like Starting RSD Protocol 3 and just sat there. Release both buttons, did the same procedure and she roared back to life and is working fine now.
Just thought I would share that in case it happens to anyone else.
Same happened to me about a week ago; My Xoom turned off and would not come on or even start to charge when I plugged it in, I was freaking out, then I accdently hit vol up while trying power for the mill time and it turned on...
Just hold down the power button in it will do the same but just don't load in bootloader

Mine just rolled over and played dead as well. I had about 3 quarters charge, put it in sleep mode and then nothing. Holding down the power button did nothing as well. And like the OP, I had no charge indication when I plugged it in.
The volume up and power combination did bring it back to life. I want to clarify for others who encounter this that just holding the power button alone did nothing.
Sadly I had to look up the fix on my wife's iPad2.
Fortunately she was not home to see that...
Did you flash a kernel? I had the same issue with a kernel I flashed from the Ubuntu thread in the dev section. I flashed to a Tiamet kernel and it went away. Before that I flashed the stock images and then the kernel.
I think its kernel related.

Sorry. It was bad form of me to leave out the OS . Mine is a factory stock Verizon.
I had a similar issue with mine a few weeks back. Battery was at about 50%, plugged it in to charge when I went to bed and woke up and it was completely dead. It took me almost a half hour to get it to start charging again so I could power it on. I didn't do anything fancy with it, no power / vol up magic, it just suddenly decided to start charging again and would power on. I still have no clue as to what the root cause was to my problem, only happened once and no issues since.
I'm running a stock 3.1 ROM and kernel but rooted.
Same thing happened to me last night. Plugged in before bed and wouldn't power up in the morning. I freaked as my Xoom is less than a week old. Power + vol up was the only solution. Strange, but judging by this post this seems to be a trend, hopefully one that will not be a regular occurrence.
Running stock rooted rom with Tiamat kernel conservatively set to 1.2 ghz, although it seems this problem isn't confined to a particular kernel. Wifi only HMJ37 (US) model - It would be handy if everyone with problem reports with their hardware version and kernel etc so that any trends may be documented.

Its not Really a problem as the phone runs fine, but i was wondering if anyone else has seen this, it happens on every rom i have put in since root and downgrade, if i power it off it reboots normally
Also if i Pull the battery and put it back it Auto powers on

Is your power button maybe recessed or stuck? Could be causing it.
You can follow me on Twitter - @NotSo1nter3stin
If it means aything it feels fine and passes CWM button test just fine.. It still has that slight click to it
EDIT: Ok upon checking again, as i haven't actually tried in a while it dosen't straight reboot, it reboots to recovery/CWM, the only reason i want ti to power down it to do a full charge on the battery, now i have been told this is frivolous but hey my battery is old, got the Shift when it first came out and it still last two plus days on a charge

You get two days out of an original battery . I would be very happy about that. If what your saying is that when you power down, and then plug it in to charge it reboots into Recovery. Then that is normal, it happens a lot on rooted devices ( not all but a good portion ). As for your device just rebooting as soon as you stick the battery back in. I'm going to have to agree with notso on this and say something is wrong with your Power button. It should not be doing that. I had that happen on a Shift that had been dropped. Turned out the Power button was damaged. It was stuck half in. Which caused a bunch of weird things.
Well then I guess I cant complain, but yes I get more then 48 hours from a charge, I charge it over night every other night and try to deep charge it once a month, seeing as i cant use mine to do it I use my wifes, my Full charges consist of Complete discharge, Charge to 100%, power down and leave on charger for 1 hour, then power back up and leave on charge for another hour once in a while during the Full cycle clear bat stats

I am able to get 2 days out of the the 2000mah or the original battery with drob's latest kernel.
Actually, a brand new factory battery seems to hold up better than the 2000mah batteries we got.
It's a htc charging while off issue if it powers itself into recovery once your phone shuts off. You'll need to talk to koush about it because the older recoveries can power while off but the newer ones can't because the older method no longer works on the newer recovery source code.

Okay, so I was playing a game and evidently it didn't like something I did so it closed the game. No force close message, nothing. just straight back to the home screen. So I re-opened the game and now it really didnt like what I did because it sat at a black screen with the soft keys lit up. I powered it down by holding the power button for however many seconds it took. It vibrated once. I let it sit for a few, then I PRESSED the power button. Nothing. So I held the power button for a few and it vibrated. I let go of the button, ANDROID flashed on the screen, then it went back to the powered off screen (i.e. blackness). I tried it again, same result. I held it for a little bit while AFTER the vibrate and it just vibrated again. Now, when I press the power button nothing happens; when i hold it nothing happens either. I tired removing the battery, putting it back in - nothing. I tried plugging it into the wall, nothing (yet. been about 10 minutes). Tried having it plugged in, removing battery, replacing battery, power button - nothing. I tried power button plus vol+/vol- and yet again, nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Sorry about the abundance of run-on sentences
Oh, and FYI i've been running whatever the latest release of AOKP was for quite some time...so nothing new was flashed or installed or anything of the such.

reflashing to stock would probably work if i could get the thing to turn on...dead battery is what i'm thinking...just very, very weird...there was no bad battery life at all or any indications the battery was about to **** the bed...excellent battery life and everything...i guess anything is possible though...

Simple thought.
Have you tried your method with both the Sim card AND the SD card out of the phone?
You know what? My SR did the exact same thing to me on Wednesday. After a couple of hours it just mysteriously would power back on. I couldn't even get into recovery mode. I didn't have a cable, but I assume download mode wouldn't work either. I think this is what we in the AOKP community have come to know as "jank".
okay, so i gave up on it for a few days and just let it collect dust in the corner of my room. now i'm back at it. i currently have the phone plugged into my computer. when I do, i get three fast beeps which to me means "a USB device was just connected to me but i have no idea wtf it is." When i press and hold the power button, i get the "USB device disconnected" sound. When i press and hold the power button again, I get the same three beeps. absolutely no activity on the screen either. so the phone isn't totally dead, it seems...just can't quite figure out what the hell is going on...

finally found someone with the exact same brick i'm having: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928258
not sure what caused it for me.
I am not inexperienced when it comes to ROMs, rooting, flashing, etc. Been doing it since my Droid X, X2, Gnex and now n5.
So pretty much I installed purity ROM and franco kernel. I was really tired when I was flashing it last night so as soon as I saw it boot up I let myself fall asleep. The last thing I saw was the setup screen asking me what language to select. I woke up this morning and tried to turn the screen on. nothing. held the power button for 10+ seconds then tried to boot again. Nothing. FYI the phone was fully charged last I saw. I have the heat on so it's kind of warm inside. I left it outside on the patio for about 20 minutes to cool down. Still gets nothing. No response what so ever. No vibration, the backlight of the display doesn't come on....nothing. I tried plugging it in the charger, nothing. The battery icon doesn't show up. The backlight doesn't come on. I left it on the charger for about 20+ minutes. Nothing. Plugging it into my computer does absolutely nothing. It doesn't show ANYTHING connected AT ALL. So no fastboot no adb (cant even get to recovery or bootloader) odin is out too. Literally 100% unresponsive.
Didn't think you could do that to a nexus honestly. Especially after all the hackery I did on the GNex. I didn't even do anything funny. Just flashed Purity + Franco (r14) I was waiting on r15.
Try charging it for a few hours (overnight).
I've seen this happen to a lot of people in the nexus 4 section.

Doesn't sound like it had anything to do with flashing anything, especially since you saw it go tot he language screen.
You've tried holding the volume keys while turning it on?
I honestly may have just been a faulty battery in the device. ran out of juice fast and now won't charge or power it.
I'd still try more holding power button remedies, etc.
Not sure that Odin would have ever helped you anyways considering this is not a Samsung phone.
Worst case RMA it through Google..

Yes, tried every button combo. True about odin, just making a point that a computer and fastboot/adb/toolkits would not work.

Yep its happened a few times with people with the nexus 4 too. The battery is at a decently high charge and suddenly it acts as if the battery is dead.
I have seen people fix it by charging the phone for a few hours though. Do you get an LED light when its plugged into the wall charger?

Absolutely nothing. Completely 100% unresponsive. I think it's done for.
Edit: Purchased from T-Mobile, not Google directly. I pay for insurance on the device. Stinks, but I think I'm going to have to file an insurance claim
Why do insurance when you can just do warranty claim at the store? Just take it back to them (especially since it hasn't been 30 days yet) and replace the device.
Did you try plugging it into a car charger in your car?
For some reason that sometimes works. I don't know why, maybe higher amperage or something.
You should try it!
This happened with my Nexus 4, All I did was leave it charging and that worked after quite a bit. At the time I re flashed it back to stock, not sure if it helped or not but I never had the issue again.
OP, have you solve your problem? my nexus 5 just dead when I rebooted my phone. now, i does not have any idea to turn it back on again.

before reboot, i'm flashing the new bootloader and radio that come with 4.4.1.. i got those two zip somewhere in the xda. but i think there is no problem with twrp. now I cant go into fastboot mode or recovery mode. there is no response when pressing the power button + volume button.
Hi
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Basically my xoom seems to be suffering from a problem that quite a few people seem to have had. It locked itself one day when it hadn't been used for a couple of minutes and that was it. Tried the holding of power button + up put it on charge and left it with the green light on for 3 hours still nothing.
tried disconnecting the battery and left it disconnected for a day to see if that worked- Nope
tried a new battery - nope
Tried new top part of case with power switch and volume buttons - nothing
As a last resort I bought a factory reset cable - plugged in and plugged into charger as well and after holding the vol up+down for 20 seconds and then holding the power with them it suddenly sprang to life.............
Now its working fine while all plugged in but the moment I pull the usb cable out its off.
So is this pointing to the battery? ( I have replaced it but its not a Motorola original)
Could it be a charging problem, Although its showing as charging (I haven't pulled the cable yet when fully charged as its still charging but it was at 61%)
or is this something else.
Thanks for any help that anyone can give me
Sorry to hear of your problem, but you may get more responses if you specify which model you have.

lol I spent so much time trying to make sure I remembered everything tried that I forgot the basc info
Its a mz604 wifi only UK xoom
Fingers crossed someone might have an idea?
OK, I may have had some success!
I managed to get it booted up again on the cable and did a battery re-calibration. Pulled the cable out and it powered off again straight away but.................... When I pressed the power button it has booted up and seems to be running fine again.
I'm going to run the battery fully down and then see what happens after a charge so fingers crossed may be good news.
series hoping

The battery re-calibration is only an Android OS issue, and shouldnt be doing anything like this. It gets reset every time you unplug your device from being fully charged.
This almost sounds like a defective battery or a loose battery connection inside. Its possible that unplugging and plugging the battery back in fixed the issue.
Best of luck to getting your tablet back up and running.
A few nights ago, I turned off my Xoom normally. It had plenty of power left.
In the morning, I plugged it in and left it without even trying to turn it on. The green charge light was on when I came back to it. It will not power on. I tried upvolume with power button and also downvolume with power button, as well as power button alone. I even tried up and down volume simulaneously with power. Nothing works.
It has charged for 3 days, but it is dead. It is not modified in any way, and is long since out of warranty.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I hate to buy a new anything, this Xoom does everything I need.
Thanks!
Me too Happened before and I managed to get into recovery but can't do it now. Help
