Just purchased the bundle. This a.m. I can't get it to shutdown or reboot..just the CyanogenMa circling around and around.

Please perform a soft reset without the microSD card in side. 1- Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds, then release. 2- Press power for 2 seconds to turn on. Nook Manual: http://img1.imagesbn.com/pimages/nook/nook07/mediakit/User_Guide_NOOK_HD_Plus_v7.pdf Also you can try, pressing power + "n" at the same time for 5 sec which should enable you to do a factory reset.

Try force closing the app. Short of that, u would probably have to root it.

I had the same problem. Sorry, no, I cannot help. I'm considering reinstallation of the software.

You are not the only one...mine started freezing up right after it did some factory updates. Had to reboot it :(

Same thing. Unpacked my 255W and ran the updater and it just died. Software System Missing. What a piece of crap... I plan on taking it back to SAMs and buying a Tom Tom.

I NEVER GOT TO USE THE PHONE AT ALL! It's so annoying because I was so excited with this phone. I'm forever stuck on starting up system mode and no matter what I do (unplugging the base, de-registering, restarting, etc), I never get past that starting up mode! Philips wasnt any help either. I'm so disappointed :( Anybody got a solution for this>

Same problem for me. Will not shut off and the lock on the case does not work. Very disappointing for an otherwise nice product. There does not seem to be any support from the manufacturer.

Can't answer your question, because mine was not hard bricked. But service worked for me. I would check Android forums for advice.

Agree with the other responses. Just press the power button again. This should turn it off. If not try holding it for a second. This has always worked for me.

Forget that nonsense! Mine has been jacked since weeks after I purchased it. Kenwood gave me the run around. So I just have to reboot the system every time it freezes. Eventually, I will just replace it with something better which works with an Android phone.

No luck yet...I've even tried rebooting. I guess the next step would be to doctor it, in case some other app update somehow affected it.

Look on freaktab.com under amlogic devices. Lots of answers to that problem. Do not install SU from playstore. Use a custom recovery like TWRP. If you tried to flash, make sure u erase everything even dalvik and cache. Do not dirty flash this box!!!

Have you tried pressing Reset? The screen shuts off, but it continues to count your steps. Pressing Reset turns the screen back on.

Happened to me too. Can't complete the update.. can't roll back to a better previous state. Nightmare pickle of sorts. Returned mine for a Refund.

One of the problems with my q3 is with the on-off switch. Sometimes everything is fine, sometimes it works every second time, sometimes it just doesn't work. The only way I've found to get it back to life is to plug it to charger. Then things get back to normal.
