I have a Xoom wifi (EU version). I rooted and installed EOS2 long time ago. The tablet never gave a problem, and it is only used to play angry birds, youtube, facebook, play movies,etc..
Yesterday my son was watchig a movie (Video Player app) and suddely the screen went black.I tried to reset (power+ vol up) and nothing!!...power+ vol down do not do anything as well.
If I plug it in the charging LED turns on (white first, then green).
WHAT CAN I DO? Thanks in advance!
What about holding power+vol up+vol down? Does that do anything?
Break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat ROM!

Hallo everyone,
I have a motorola Xoom wifi (mz604 i guess)... Once (almost 1 year ago) i installed the touch recovery and a ICS stock rooted rom.
It worked always fine.... today I went to check my email, and the xoom was off and i couldn't turn it on... I thought it was the battery, but when the battery is empty, when you try to turn the xoom on you see a red blinking led on the top (next to the front camera)...
But i put the xoom to charge, (the white led on the bottom went on) and when i came back home the led was green.
I tried to turn the xoom on, but surprise, nothing, no reaction, then y plugged the charger once again, and the bottom led went green, but i still can't turn the tablet on.
I tried all keys combinations that are possible.... Power + Volume up, Power + Volume down, Power + Volume Up and Down, Just volume down, Just volume Up, both volume keys...
Then i tried to connect the xoom to the PC, and also no reaction, nothing in the Device Manager.... (i have Windows 8)
Someone have an idea to solve this problem? Or is my tablet really dead?
Thank you very much.

Might sound a bit basic, but when you did the key combinations, did you hold the buttons down for 5-10 seconds? I think power plus volume up is reset button.

Murderer!!! JK
.....and you're making sure to press Volume up and then Power?
Hi Luinwethion,
My Xoom is in the same state you described. It happened this morning. There is a white light while charging and a green light after some time. I didn't get any response, with any keys combination.
Have you fixed yours?
Can you send me any tip to bring it to live again?
Thanks in advance.

Take the back cover off, on the bottom side of battery there are two wires-black&red- take them off the socket for 10minutes, when you connect it back again xoom should work!
Quick q: do you hear that click sound when pressing power button?
I have the same problem , my xoom went off without doing anything and it doesn't boot up!
does the disconnecting battery fix the problem ?
What rom you;

I'm in the same boat - the Xoom (USA WiFi) hung up while playing music - I rebooted it (power+up volume) it recovered, but then all the apps started crashing - I rebooted it again and it did not boot - just a blank screen. Battery light shows a charge when connected to a charger.
Does someone have instructions on how to remove the back cover?

It looks like the latest Google Play Services updated has dropped support for our Xoom's
Mine loads, then more GAPPS errors thank you can shake a stick it - if i let the screen time out following a forced reboot it doesnt come back on.
Gutted.
Hello, i have the Lenco CoolTab70 tablet and i cannot turn it on. The tablet only gives a black screen. I cannot enter the download mode (power+ vol. down) nor the recovery mode ( power+ vol. up). When i tried it i got the black screen. When I try to charge, it soon reaches 100% but again shows low battery soon after disconnecting only to display full battery again without recharging. When connected to PC, the tablet has light around the side and i see the battery icon (but the PC does not see the tablet). I cannot flash android. I tried to boot android from an SD card, but it does not work. Power button not responding.
Thank you for your help and time.
PS: Sorry for my English, I am from the Czech republic

Thank you for answer . Tablet never dropped. It's after bad root and flash custom ROM. LCD works without problems- no problem with the cable. Sorry for my English.
Yesterday I was watching a youTube video and my phone started restarting (crash?). The Google logo and ofcourse the unlock are showing (the device has been rooted a long time now), but it did not go beyond that. I then decided to hold the power button for a long time to manually restart the phone again myself, but after trying to restart my phone is not turning on anymore.
I already tried the standard things like holding the power button for a long time and in combination the with volume up and down buttons. When I plug in my phone it does make a sound like the device is connected to the laptop (most likely the adb drivers and ****.
Is there anything else I can try to get my phone up and running again? Also when in laptop or by adapter the phone does not show any sign of charging. (my phone was 75% full when the phone crashed).
Try holding Power and Vol down only during 10s.
If it doesn't work plug the phone to a charger and try again later.

I have tried that multiple times.
Do you have an early model by any chance? Launch maybe?
I bought mine at launch and it had a faulty power button. This also looks like a random reboot, because the power button is being "held" for a couple of seconds. I also hat a couple of times when I couldnt't turn on the device anymore - again, because the power button wasn't working correctly.

There is a possibillity. The nexus had problems with the power button a year ago. So I now RMA'd it,
Hey all, I searched around, just haven't found the answer I'm looking for.
First, I did get it to bootup after holding Power+vol up/down, and I'm trying to understand what happened.
Running stock Verizon 4.4.2
Bootloader unlocked, S-off
Rooted
The phone was at about 75% charge and I was viewing gallery. I noticed that videos were no longer playing and was trying to get one up. The phone suddenly went black as if it powered off. I pushed the power button- nothing. Held the power button - nothing. Did that a couple more times for longer.
Then hooked it to charge - no light, nothing.
After a quick search I found a suggestion to hold power+vol up/down 1-2 minutes. I did that and it booted in about 15 seconds.
My question is, what happened? why?
Is there a way to avoid it?
And if it does it again what is the best way to get it restarted?
I still plan on flashing a newer ROM, just haven't done it yet.
Thanks
Really, no thoughts on this? Phone goes blank, won't restart. Someone on XDA must at least seen it.
Happened to me once but due to my own mistake.
I wanted to boot phone into bootloader, instead of shutting and then pressing vol down + power, i forced shut the phone by pressing power + vol up, here is where i commited the mistake, instead of holding the buttons for 7 secs( after which the phone should go off) i held them a bit longer mayb 15-20 sec, after tht i tried to boot into bootloader by pressing v up + power , nothing happened, did that several times, again nothing. Tried to power it on, nothing, connected to usb, again nothing.
It seemed like i had hard bricked the phone(thoughts of losing the phone came to my mind) but after trying and trying and trying again and again. It did got up(i held vol up + power for 7-10 sec, without releasing the power button, and releasing the vol up button, instantly held vol down button and it booted to bootloader).
Mayb the phone enters into some other kind of mode which only HTC is aware of.
Thanks piyushkohli97 for the reply.
Hasn't any developers run into this? Or someone with an understanding of the issue? It doesn't seem uncommon. I'm hoping to gain some insight into the issue. Anyone else?
I did not pay attention and 'upgraded' my working TWRP for S10e to TWRP for S10. No 'e'
Now I'm stuck at the very first boot screen 'Samsung Galaxy S10e, Secured by Knox'. After 6 sec the screen go black and then nothing more. No charging icon.
I'm not able turn off the phone for entering download mode with 'Vol down + Bixby' and USB. Any tip for this?
'Vol down + Power' for 7 sec reboots directly back to the same screen. I have not found any other boot-combinations that works.
The phone does not show up in Win.
Any tip? Hard bricked?

Press and hold volume down, bixby, and power for 10-20 seconds. That should get you to download mode.

Thank you @klabit87, but no change. Adding Bixby to the boot prosess did not change anything. It just reboots to the same very first boot screen.
I'll try to drain my battery to power it off.

Then try without the bixby button. You should be able to force it to bit into download mode.
BTW, on S10 series the classic way to enter Download mode is
-power off
-Vol down + Bixby, then add USB. Connecting USB boots the phone.
Voila, Download mode. Normally.
But I'm even not able to turn off...
I've been able to force it to boot to download by using the key combinations before. It's definitely not hard bricked. It can be recovered.. Just need to get to download mode.
Thank you klabit87, thats kind of good news! Now I just wonder how... I've drained the battery to be able to start from 'off'
(Now I do not know if it even charges? No indication)
MIRACLES!
Battery drained. Bixby + Vol down. Then connected USB (from cherger) and DOWNLOAD MODE!!!
But no connection when connecting to Win. (Yes, drivers installed) Can it be a bad cable? (It's not the original one, and when charging I sometimes got a little warning)

Yeah you'll want to get a good quality cable for sure. But seems like things will be sorted shortly
I lost 'Download Mode' before I got new cable and had to discharge again. New cabel worked as charm, Odin recognized it at once, correct TWRP installed, rebooted to Recovery, installed kernel & Magisk, and everything was back to normal!
Thank you klabit87 for encouraging me!
That's good news! Glad you got it worked out.
