Xoom restarts every time I press the lock button - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I press the lock/power button on the back of the xoom there is a 3 second delay, and then the CM boot logo comes on the screen for a while and the lock screen shows up. I've just done a wipe and re install of the latest nightly, this started happening I think yesterday, since I first noticed it I did a factory reset and upgraded to the latest nightly, but it's still happening, any ideas?
EDIT: Installed latest bugless beast and everything is working fine.... Hmmmm

[Q] S2 won't turn on or boot to recovery

So I flashed the superlite CM10 rom yesterday and everything was running fine, except the phone would occasionally reboot. But this was happening when i had the older version of the same rom and it wasnt that big a deal. Today, it restarted and now it wont boot the OS, go into recovery, or anything. All it does is vibrate every few seconds. I get to the Samsung screen, then it goes black and keeps vibrating every few seconds. If i try to boot to TWRP, it gets to the TWRP boot screen, then the screen goes black and the same vibrating thing happens. Am i hard bricked or what? Thank in advance!

Stuck at Boot Logo

Hi guys!
First off, I'm running on KatKiss 217. For a while now I've been stuck to the boot screen of my tablet. Before that I was using it while USB connected to the PC in our office. But then the battery run out so it turned off, I disconnected it and went back home to charge. When I turned it on while charging it was stuck on the boot screen.
Since I was going to upgrade to KatKiss 218, I went on ahead and flashed the 218. So I Format system, installed KatKiss 218 and cleared Dalvik/Cache. When I rebooted it gets past the boot screen but gets stuck on Android Upgrading: Starting Apps. Tried to revert back to KatKiss 217 but same thing happens.
Any idea how I can fix this? Hope you guys could help me out. Thanks in advance!
I think first of you must flash also the gapps. And full wipe would help too it stalled at start-up screen.
Sometimes flashing the same file twice would force it to installed properly and boot it successfully.
Finally got it to work! As you said, I had to do a Factory reset first to get it to work. Not sure why since I never had to do it before. Still, got it to work now. Thanks, man!

Stuck in endless loop after CM 10.2 nightly to CM 10.1 downgrade

I think i might have wrecked my P5110!
I rooted it to Cyanogen mod about 6 month ago to CM10.1.1 and that was great.
I had been using the built in updater to get the latest Cyanogen firmware without any problem. Decided to try a CM 10.2 nightly but was having big problems with it draining battery, crashing and rebooting for no apparent reason.
No problems thinks I, just unwind it to an older version of CM from the built in Cyanogen Mod Updater. I selected 10.1.3 RC2, and left it be.
Came back to it some time later to find the old logo spinning there. Figured it was still running and left it some more, and some more, and some more and it just kept spinning. I guess its knackered. I DID NOT wipe the cache and data as i was doing it from within Cyanogen so naively thought it would work okay.
Okay thinks I, go into recovery, wipe the cache. No dice. Try as i may i can NOT get ClockWorkRecovery to come up, only ODIN.
Talk about fools rush in. Simple thinks I, reinstall CWM from ODIN, go back into CWM, wipe the cache, see if that works.
flashing goes smoothly, but try as i may i can no longer get into ODIN or CWM, only into a never ending circle of Cyanogen bootup.
Any suggestions for a next step. Had the worst day at work and really shouldn't have bothered touching the damn thing!
Oh, I might well have spotted the problem
I thought I was flashing the CWM for P5110, but a closer inspection of the filename
GT-P5100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar
Shows quite clearly what i've done.
I'm guessing there is no coming back from this?

Flash stock firmware via pc odin this will solve your issues. ....

Every time you flash with ANY ROM you need to wipe data or bootloop obviously will appear.

Even though your recovery may be screwed up, it's strange that you can't get to the download mode... So, what exactly happens if you force reboot by holding power for several seconds, and immediately after that hold power and Volume Up together while it's powering up?
When stuck in the CM boot up, pressing and holding the power button would force a shut down, but the tab would then instantly reboot.
Holding the volume up (or down, i was desperate) until the samsung logo appeared wouldn't get me to ODIN, it would go to the CM boot screen.
If i plugged it into the charger once in the CM splash, and powered down, it would take me to the charge screen. Pulling the plug would then turn it off, without it rebooting.
Initially this wouldn't work, but perhaps because i was being impatient. All the instructions i had read say that the volume button can be released once the samsung logo pops up, perhaps i've miss read. Ultimately i found (more by accident than anything), you need to keep the volume button pressed until the second time the samsung logo pops up, then it will enter ODIN.
I managed to download a a stock rom from SamMobile, and flash it in.
It still wouldn't boot though, until i went into recovery and wiped data/cache. It also then took rather a long time to boot back up, presumably unpacking various 'stuff', had me a little concerned, so i left it alone for a few hours and came back to find the first boot welcome screen.
Lesson to be learned, always wipe the cache/data before an update, even if the previous half dozen CM updates had been fine.
I think what actually screwed things up was going from a 10.2 beta BACK to a 10.1 RC ROM.
Oh well, its working happily again, and not falling over like on the 10.2 beta. And i dont need to buy a RIFF box!

Phone wont fully start, CWM wont boot

So ive been running CM 10.1 with CWM v6.0.4.3 for several months without major issue until last night. I went to send a text message to someone, and right as i went back to my home screen, the phone froze, rebooted, and when it finished rebooting, the deice would freeze again as soon as the lock screen was reached, and reboot again. Cue repeated circle of freeze, reboot, finish rebooting, freeze, reboot.
I turned the phone off by taking out the battery, put it back in and charged it overnight without booting it up. Went to start the phone today, same issue still. I would boot into recovery and try to re-flash the OS, and it would give me a status 7 error. After re-downloading everything into my sd card, i was eventually able to get the system to re-install cm10.1.3, and it booted up normally. I downloaded and installed ROM Manager, and installed the newest version of CWM Touch, version 6.0.4.5, and then tried to boot into recovery to install CM11. It showed the CWM Hat icon in the middle of the screen, with the version on the bottom of the screen, then rebooted on its own without showing any menu options.
Now if i try to boot into recovery, it just shows the icon and version again, then reboots, and wont go past the CM loading screen with the spinning cyanogenmod icon.
Not sure what to do at this point, i cant get into recovery to try and flash something new, and i cant get past the CM loading screen to actually use my phone. Any ideas? I have zero experience with adb, so im stumped.
UPDATE: Solved, i flashed TWRP over CWM using Odin, and was from there able to re-install the OS. Things seem to be working fine for the most part, with the exception of one random reboot last night.

You can try to reflash CWM with Odin, if that not working, you could try to Odin back to stock.

I figured it out yesterday actually and forgot to update! Indeed I was able to flash TWRP with odin, since CWM seemed to be blocking me from doing anything. Once that was up and running, things went back to normal, i was able to flash CM 10.2.1 and things seem to be working now.
One thing though, while playing skyrim last night i had it on the charger next to me, and the phone randomly rebooted without any interaction from me. Was odd, but it hasnt done it since. Keeping an eye on it still.

My Inspire 4G (randomly?) stopped successfully booting and cannot access bootloader

I have a rooted and bootloader-unlocked Inspire 4G. A few months ago, I had been using the MoKee 4.2.2 ROM for some time, and one day, my phone's screen simply froze. I thought I shouldn't be worried about it, so I pulled the battery off, slapped it back in and tried turning on the phone again. It never got past the MoKee loading screen. I tried charging it, leaving it to boot for hours but nothing.
Next, I tried rebooting into CWMrecovery to try different stable backups I had from some time before that happened. The backups restored successfully, but again, the phone stayed stuck in the loading screen. I tried the same with 4EXT Touch Recovery and wiping all the data before the backup, but still nothing worked.
Since I was too busy at the time to install a new ROM and flash a new boot image, I decided to put the phone away and use my backup Galaxy Ace. Today, a few months after that happened, I tried to boot the phone into bootloader and I can't even achieve that. Holding the volume down rocket and power buttons, the phone still boots normally and stays stuck on the loading screen.
What weirds me out the most is that this was all random--I did not drop the phone or did things to it that could break it.
I feel if I could get into recovery I'd be able to do something else about it.
Any ideas?
Me too
Weird, mine just did the same thing today. Crashed, had to pull battery, now stuck at Mokee. Tried clearing DC, cache, factory reset. No luck.
