Stuck in power cycle loop

So last night my Apple TV was going through its normal process when it is updating new software. Some where along the lines however the update stopped and now it is stuck in a power loop. I have read from others that they can get to the main menu and all that but all I am able to get is the starting picture of an apple and it sits on that for about 15-25 seconds and then it turns off again. I have tried to power cycle by unplugging it, pressing and holding the menu and play button, I left it unplugged all night and tried again tonight, so far the problem is still going on. I have more recently plugged it in to the internet souce directly (ethernet cable) and have been letting power loop hoping that it was just going to finish up... thats not the case. Any help or suggestions would be super. Thanks

Yeah I did unplug the HDMI, power cable, and ethernet internet cable... I then used a Micro USB caple to plug it into my computer and it didn't work. I know some of the USB ports are powered differently but I did try both of USB ports and still it didn't work. I went as far as to make sure that I didn't have any other USB device plugged into my computer making sure that the power wasn't being diverted. Unfortunatly this still resulted in the same problem. I could see the white light on my Apple TV and it was blinking like it has been doing since the problem first appeared... Thanks again for taking time to ensure accuracy but I belive this Apple TV will need to be sent in and I will have to purchase a new one.

  • Q10 switches off when power button pushed once and gets stuck in boot up loop

    Hi All
    All of a sudden my Q10 power button has become sensitive and restarts when pushed once.  When it tries to restart it gets stuck in the boot loop - going from red light to BlackBerry logo, back to red light.... If I push the power button a few times it will boot up.  
    I have tried to reload the most actual 10.3 software but problem still exists.
    Any ideas?  Oh and its JUST gone out of warranty.....
    Is it a power button issue or something more serious?

    Sounds like button. I'm assuming that is one way they can fail. I don't know for sure. What I usually read about button problems is the button doesn't work at all.
    The issues could with the 10.3.1 upgrade complicates guesswork. How did you reload the OS? If you did a clean install with an autoloader then I would say you did what you could do to rule out software.

  • My phone is stuck in a boot loop and I don't want to factory reset...what can I do?

    It is stuck on the "M" screen and is nonresponsive in all ways other than the bootloader which I already used to delete my cache partition.

        cartergk, Let's get you out of this Booting loop. Do you recall what activity or function the phone was processing when it began to reboot this way? You can also try a Soft Reset by pressing and holding the Power button for approximately 10 seconds or until the device power cycles. If this step has been tried to no avail; the best next step would be the one provided by GalaxyClass. Here are the steps to process the Factory Data Reset: "Alternate Method: http://vz.to/1tynkBD. Please keep us posted on this.

  • FATAL Error After Power Cycle- GVRP related?

    Hello all,
    Happy New Year!
    I have a network of four 300 Series small business switches. All are running software version 1.3.5.58 (latest version).
    Three of them are connected by 2 Port LAG groups to the central switch which in turn connects to the internet facing router. There is no loops in the architecture and spanning tree is running. There are a total of 4 VLANs and GVRP is enabled with the four VLANs statically created on the main switch.
    Normally everything runs very happily and is perfectly stable.
    However, a power failure this morning resulted in a power cycle on two of the switches. They did not recover gracefully and kept restarting.
    I removed the ports from the LAG groups in the main switch (not impacted by the power cycle) and then rebuilt them to recover connectivity and restore normal operation.
    Both of the switches which restarted had multiple  entries in their log files like this:-
    %GVRP-F-NOSTATREG: GVRPP_checkStaticToDynamic_update: Port isn't Statically registered on vlan 100  ***** FATAL ERROR *****  Reporting Task: BRMN. Software  Version: 1.3.5.58 (date  10-Oct-2013 time  17:15:41) 0x16adbc 0x166f28 0x6df2b0 0x48fad8 0x4903e8 0x490608 0x51a234 0x79dfd8 0x7b9f8c 0x7c1500 0x445d 88 0x41e04c 0x7d4c80 0x61cb68 0x1223f0  ***** END OF FATAL ERROR *****    
    Has any one seen this before? Have I made some "rookie" mistake with by GVRP configuration?
    Kind Regards,
    Andy.

    Hi Andrew, the GVRP database is kind of a strange creature (the protocol itself is just strange). By removing a VLAN or interface from the GVRP database, when the join message is sent it will send an update to the downstream switch. I suspect that by removing the LAG there was an unintended database change (in fact the database on the receiving switch didn't have the desired database as you modified the trunk which strips all VLAN). So what happens is the downstream switch "defaulted" to 1 vlan then the re-establishment of the LAG sent more VLAN and the GVRP database didn't match up.
    Does this kind of make sense?
    If you're in for a simple lab you can create a trunk between switches with multiple vlans tagged (do like 5 vlans, not just 2). Then remove one of those vlans off the master switch. Observe the behavior.

  • HELP! My iPod Touch 4g is stuck in a restore loop!

    Help!
    My iPod touch 4g is stuck in a restore loop and I dont know why! Its jailbroken and i got fed up of it so i decided to restore it. It didnt work. It came up with error 21 and then i tried to restore it in dfu mode and it came up with error 1600. I took it into the apple store and they said they would have to make an appointment to try it... I dont really want to do that becuase i cant live without it!
    I have tried everything to get it out! Rec boot, iReb and redsn0w and its not working
    My iPod is 4 years old by the way
    Also im a mac user
    If somone out there could be an absolute star and help me with it i would be insanely grateful!

    You can try 2 things:
    Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
    Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.

  • TPC-2006 Labview vi execution slows, then stops, forcing power cycle

    I have a user interface vi comprising 4 while loops, each with a 100 ms "wait till next ms" timer.  There is a TCP/IP Tx loop, TCP/IP Rx loop, a loop to build the 2 bytes to be sent, and a loop to decode the 2 bytes received.
    I added loop counters as a debug tool.  All 4 hum along more-or-less in sync for about 10 minutes, but then they all start  s l o w i n g  down, and while I watched, all 4 quit incrementing.  When this happens the TPC-2006 is utterly locked up, forcing a power cycle to recover.
    I've attached the vi in hopes that somebody will see my error, or maybe there's a memory leak in the labview executable?

    I also don't see anything directly that would cause the code to slow down over time. There are a couple things I might recommend, but I'm hesitant because the code looks so meticulously and exquisitely written!
    There are a few places in your application where you use a local variable when a direct wire connection is possible. Direct wire connections are always preferable if possibe. Granted, this would only make a small difference in memory usage and performance and should NOT cause your code to slow down. For instance, in the second loop you write a value to PDA Lifter and then read the PDA Lifter value from a local variable. A direct wire connection here would be preferable. Also, in the third loop you are writing all your values to the LEDs (TestLED, HighLED, etc) using local variables. You could easily perform your logic inside the case structure that decides what values to send to the indicators, but then actually use direct terminal connections for the LEDs outside the case structure instead of using local variables.
    Finally, if you are using the LabVIEW 8.0 or 8.0.1 PDA module, you might consider transitioning the second loop into an event structure that would only run if a user clicks on one of the buttons. That would save one of the loops from constantly polling six buttons and checking to see if a new value was registered. PDA applications are multi-tasked, not multi-threaded, so it would help to have less loops running concurrently.
    I also agree with trying to put all the TCP communication in one loop. It obviously wouldn't make sense to have a TCP Write in the same loop as a TCP Read set to have infinite timeout, since that would slow down the write process if the 2 bytes weren't available at the port to read, but you could set a timeout of 0 or 100ms and then probe the error output to see if a timeout occured.
    I've been trying to reproduce the slowdown on my computer with your code. I closed the loop by setting the target IP to localhost and setting the server and client loops to both use port 5555. This sets the app to just talk to itself. It's running fine with no errors, and so far on the PocketPC emulator I see no slowdown. This might be strictly related to TPC-2006 devices.

  • Deskjet 3050A J611 needs power-cycl​e to work wirelessly

    Been putting up with this for ages but made a concerted effort to solve it the last day or two, with no success.
    The issue is that the printer still appears on the network, ie it shows on the router page, and I can additionally ping it from a PC and get a response,  and it appears as "Idle" in the OS X printing section....but it doesn't respond to either printing or scanning requests. Just seems to get stuck.
    If I then power cycle the printer, it works again for a while. Then, I come back a while later, whether it be hours or days, and the thing doesn't work again.
    I disabled auto-off, made no difference.
    I gave it a static IP via DHCP, made no difference. Logged onto its web page and gave it a static IP that way and that made no difference either.
    I thought maybe it's my wireless network (although everything else connected to it works fine), so I even plugged in a spare Apple Airport Express and created it's own hidden wireless network connected to my main network. Again, it worked for a while, but then stopped working when I tried it again this morning. The Airport Express was positioned right next to the printer, so it's not about the signal.
    I'm not sure what else I can try. It seems that there is a bug in the firmware or something - I have read a lot of similar reports across the web.
    For some reason it enters a state where it appears to be on the network, indeed responds to a ping, but does not work properly.
    My OS X is 10.9, but I've also seen the same issue when printing from iOS devices - i.e. when it's in this non-working state, iOS print requests also fail, so I don't think it's driver related.
    Can only be the hardware, right?

    Just to add a bit more by way of diagnostics.
    Just had it happen again and I tried to navigate to the printer's page in my browser and although it accepted the IP address it didn't load a page, just left the screen blank.
    I then printed out the Printer Status Report, which shows everything normal, ie the expected IP address, Network Status : Ready, Active Connection Type : Wireless.
    Yet neither printing or scanning work, or accessing the printer's web page.
    I then went into the HP Utility, via Printers & Scanners in OS Settings, and attempted to print a test page, which I believe bypasses the driver. This caused the connection to the printer to be lost completely. After doing that, pings no longer responded either. Likewise, trying to access the printer's web page subsequently time out.
    It was as if printing the test page finally killed it off.
    In fact, when i looked at the printer's screen it was just white, and pressing the power button caused it to reboot.
    Now it works again, everything is accessible, but I know that next time I come to try and use it the chances are it will have got itself into the bad state again.
    While it might not seem a huge inconvenience to have to power cycle the printer in order to be able to use it, it's actually far from ideal because I've got kids who want to be able to print stuff out when they want, and the printer is at the bottom of the house.

  • My iphone 4 is stuck in a reboot loop and won't stop. Any ideas?

    It froze during a message. I went to restart it and it didn't finish restarting, tried again and got a white screen. Now it's stuck in a reboot loop and I can't get it to stop.

    First, plug your iPhone into your cpmputer. Then, press and hold the Home+Power buttons for around 10 seconds, then release the power button but continue holding the Home button, until you see a pop up in iTunes. Then, restore your iPhone.

  • Need help plz my iphone is stuck in a reboot loop

    my iphone is stuck in a reboot loop i cant get it to stop itunes dose not detect
    my iphone so i can restore it i don't know what to do plz help

    I am experiencing the same problem, and i have attempted NO jailbreak or other iphone hacked software. My screen will slowly fade to white, and then go into an endless reboot cycle, or just glow bright white til the battery dies. I have tried restoring with itunes via recovery, and i receive error (2003).
    (EDIT)
    I successfully restored my iphone, and it worked GREAT! until i removed it from the cradle, and my screen jumped straight to apple logo, descending into the bottomless pit of reboot cycles.

  • HT4993 my iphone is stuck in a reboot loop how do i get out

    my iphone is stuck in a eboot loop how do i get it out

    Follow these steps and your iPhone should work fine.
         1. Hold the power and home button simotaniously (at the same time) for 10 seconds.
         2. Wait 5 seconds then reboot.
    If the issue presists, do this.
         1.Connect to iTunes via USB cable.
         2.Hold power and home button for 10 seconds or until screen turns black, let go of the power button, but continue holding the home button for 5 seconds or until the emergency diagnostics screen (iTunes icon with USB cable) pops up.
         3. If done correctly you will see the screen above. Now, wait for iTunes to diagnose the phone, and if nessesary, restore your iPhone.
    I hope this helped you!

  • Airport Express Stuck in a Restart Loop

    I have an Airport Extreme that is stuck in a restart loop. I had tried to set it up to extend an Airport Extremes wireless network but it didn't work. Now the Express restarts as soon as it boots. When you plug it in the orange light comes on for 30-45 seconds before flashing green then off and then solid orange for 30-45 seconds. It just reaptes this partern. I have tried both soft and hard resets and in boht cases it does the flashing orange but then resumes the solid orange for 30-45 seconds flash green then of pattern. I have tried plugging in a network cable and found that during the 30-45 seconds of orange the computer reports that the cable is plugged in with no ip address, during the fraction of a second that the light is green the computer gets an ip address and then shows disconnected when the light turns off. Any suggestions?

    It sounds like power issue to me.. and the express is a sealed unit.. just take them back if still under warranty or replace. There are various posts about how to cut them open but the end result is fairly horrible looking.

  • My ATV is stuck in a reset loop.

      We rented a move last night and it was freezing, so I did a reset of the apple tv using the remote.  After the reset, it got stuck in a reset loop.  It goes through the spinning wheel, shows the menu screen for a moment, and then resets to the spinning wheel again.  I've tried to reset ATV with remote, unplug system, reset modem and nothing works.  Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Razr is stuck in a boot loop.

    Around 9 AM, my Razr (Jelly Bean 4.1.2. on Verizon) froze and rebooted (as it sometimes does when I use the camera - except Instagram, processes.android.media, and the Homescreen all stopped first). The phone was holding on the opening animatic for too long, so I did a power+volume reboot, and now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. No matter what I select (Normal Powerup, Recovery, AP Flashboot), I get "Boot Failure" and "Device is LOCKED" and "Invalid CG HAB (CG: mbr, status: 0x0056)". I've been doing some searching in the background for ways to fix the problem and I've downloaded RSD Lite and I'm downloading the 1.1 GB ROM to flash with. Anything else I can do, or is there any walkthrough to help? This is all new to me - and I haven't backed up in a while, so I'm afraid files and such will be wiped clean, even though I've seen in some forum posts that some folks haven't had anything wiped.

        I'm sorry this is still happening crimsong19! If you have the Extended Warranty, it's for the life of the phone as long as it's activated on your line. However, if you remove the battery, like you said, it will void the warranty. At this point, you can try reaching out to Motorola to see if they can better assist with this. They may have a good solution. You can reach them at http://www.motorola.com/us/home
