i have to have the worst luck in the world..
got my nexus one today. condition is MINT. seller also included the receipt from HTC proving that it got replaced.
popped in my sim, everything worked fine. turned it off to swap batteries and thats when the hell started.
im not able to get past the nexus logo. NOTHING. it would turn on, than go to the screen, vibrate, than repeat multiple times. phone has never been rooted.
i did EVERYTHING. i did the volume down plus power and than i cleared wiped the memory, same result.
than i tried downloading 2.2.1, renaming it to update.zip, put it on my zip, but that doesnt work. the phone can't tell theres a update.
like **** man. i than went here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_&_Tutorials
read that i needed FRG33 and rename it to PASSIMG.ZIP. when the phone turns on, it gives me the message if i want to update, i get excited. i click yes, everything says ok, than i reboot and bam, still endless reboot. tried to do the passimg again but this time i get a fail on radio V2 or something like that.
WTF is going on. i didnt do anything. ANYBODY HELP?
maybe the battery you swapped in is bad?
same result with both batteries :/
i hate my effing luck.
Make sure your batteries are fully charged, seriously.
great, now when i click recovery, it doesnt even go to the android guy with the exclamation mark, it just gets stuck at the logo. all im able to do is get to hboot. WTF.
i mean the battery has half a charge. just checked with my desire. i even tried with it plugged in in the wall. nothing.
my aim is screwupboy444. your welcome to help me there or even laugh at me for being a bone head and getting in this situation.
Do you have a different SD card you can use?

yeah, i was using both the desire 8gb and the nexus one 4gb. both were reading fine in the desire. i read that if it gets to the nexus one logo then my phone isn't bricked, but im starting to think otherwise. nothing works.
ive been searching for the past hour half. everyone seemed to have fixed there by doing the passimg method or wiping data. but unfortunately none of that is working. i tried placing the froyo "update.zip" and running it but when i clicked recovery, it went into the boot cycle again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
thinking about doing that but i have a feeling it doesnt apply to me. that and i don't understand any of the process. i dont think my phone will even be read by my comp.
did the passimg for the third time. went past the logo and actually to the set up screen. than it rebooted again. and now its stuck on the nexus one logo again.
could it actually be that? i left the battery charging in the desire for about 40 minutes, than took it out and put it in the nexus one and actually got to the set up screen for the first time.
but my question is, if thats the solution, does that mean my phone is gonna trip out everytime its less than 60 percent battery power?
this is what i get when i put the 2.2.1 update on my sd card and go into recovery mode

most of the threads where people got this fixed required them unlocking the bootloader and doing something. im the second owner of the phone but would like to avoid rooting but if its required in this situation, i will. i just need a dummies guide to do it..
No, there's threads for recalibrating the battery, if needed.
Keep it fully charged, and see if it will run for a reasonable period... That way, we can see if it really is the battery...

Don't worry about the exclamation and Android for now, and see if the phone will boot and run with a fully charged battery...

thanks for all the help man. you dont think i need to unlock the bootloader right...? im just more curious on why the desire can work with either party no matter the charge. damn.
Wait until your battery is about 75% or more would be better, then try the passimg again...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
not sure if its good news or not but (i apologize for my lack of patient before hand haha), i took out the battery the desire was charging again and put it in the nexus one. it got to the set up screen all three times before it resets again. i tried plugging it in the wall charger but it still resets at that area.
edit:
the battery level was at 74% when i tried it.
75% is not a hard number, and I'd let it charge as much as possible. I'd also quit switching batteries, and just stick with one until you isolate the problem...

oh iam. im charging the nexus one battery in the desire because once i turn on the nexus one, it gets frozen there, and than i cant turn it off.
Hi, yesterday I installed CM7 on my android, all went well, very awesome.
Soon the LED Light messed up when I would plug the phone in via usb.
The LED had colors that were like mixed and all.
Searched on Google, and found nothing... So I then did the whole process over (wiped data...) And near the last step I wiped data instead of wiping cache.
It was like 5 in the am and I got sleepy so when I restarted the phone(Of course it would take a while), I went to lie down, then fell asleep. Woke up and my phone was still at the Motorola Logo screen. I also seen that I forgot to put it on the charger before went to sleep.
Long story short, My phone won't get past the logo screen, I would try to go back to 2.2 sbf but when I get into the bootloader screen the battery low cannot program.. error comes up.
Yeah, I explained practically everything..
What can I do to get it back to normal, so I can get CM7 back?
I only got to enjoy 20 minutes of the rom...
My phone: Motorola Bravo
Service: AT&T
You need to charge your battery some how? Does it charge at all
Do you know someone with phone?
If not ask for a battery replacement from at&t store and hope it has enough charge

My thought on charging was when the phone is off and you charge it, it goes to the charging screen, then eventually the display turns off.
Instead of that, it just stays at the Motorola Logo screen..
I've also had it on the charger for about 4 hours now. Still remaining at the logo screen, BUT it has also gotten warm..Maybe that means its charging? (right??)
2. Since I've moved, nope. Don't know anyone that has this phone and is near me.
3. Battery Replacement. It's 1am here so, I guess I'll just keep it on the charge till the morningmorning..
I could do the bootloader sbf back to froyo thing but since the phone's battery is dead to the max, I get the error, meaning I can't do that option.
I'll call my local AT&T store to see if I could get a battery replacement if I can't get it to turn on to at least the Recovery or bootloader.
Pain.. pain in my brain.
try to get it plugged in w/ no logo, to ensure it's off off... if not you might have to let it sit off the charger till it's dead enough that it doesn't try to boot...
i think it's trying to boot, but boot looping and not aquiring enough of a charge,
do you have it on a wall charger? make sure it's like 800 mah or higher, i think the phone comes with a 5.1v 800mah which was weird to me tha tit was 5.1 cause all other phones are 5.0 but anyway maybe you're not getting enough of a current to it to overcome the drain from the bootloop?
Are you able to get into custom recovery? (Do you see the blue LED at any point when the phone begins to try to power on?)
You have soft bricked your phone, so the only way to get it working is to sbf back to 2.2. The problem is, the bootloader doesn't allow you to sbf if your battery is below a certain point. You need to either get that battery charged or get a new one.
If you can't get anything at your store, I will cross-ship/trade you a charged battery (1 year old) for your current one and $3 for shipping? Let me know if you'd be interested in something like that...
I also bought a battery from Amazon (OEMShop or something), and I think it came 40%ish charged... You could try your luck?
Just so you understand the charging, Android uses the OS to monitor the charging. If the phone is bricked it doesn't charge… plain and simple. It sucks if you try to sbf after the battery is drained, but the only thing you can do is get another one. Hope your search for one comes up well.

Yeah..no.. I'll be getting a replacement phone (same one). Basically in 4 to 6 days..
I'm so happy, my phone kept restarting anyway when using data.. But yeah, thanks though.
Before you send other phone back... sbf with other battery back to stock.

Yeah, I thought of that when I got of the phone with them. Thanks for the heads up though!
My replacement phone came in the mail earlier this afternoon! Thanks for all the help you guys. Glad I came here. So excited, just 10% more and it's fully charged.
I think I may get a extra battery just in case for my phone. Great post!
This just happened to me too. I thought what to do...
Spliced one of my old car phone chargers and hooked it to my phone battery... plugged it into my car fir 5 minutes and was charged enough to sbf.
Don't recommend it if you don't know what your doing
Cheers

Volume up... not down... got it
In the middle of using my mt4g, it just froze. I waited 10 minutes but never got the not responding message. So I pulled the battery, and all it did was sit at the white mt4g screen until the battery died. While the battery charged, I looked here for a solution. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844910, and since it seemed to describe my situation, I followed it. So I put the pd15img.zip on the microsd card and the boatloader said update succesfully applied. I hit restart and it turned off but didnt come back on. And it hasn't Im pretty sure that mean my phone is gone, but does anyone know of any black magic that may bring it back from the grave? I really like this phone. I've taken really good care of this phone and it is in such good physical shape.
Ideas?

Was it the bad eMMC chip?
I don't know. How do i tell
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I think you need your phone booting at least to know which emmc you have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388962
check your eMMC chip through THIS GUIDE HERE
THAT METHOD REQUIRES ROOT ACCESS, WHICH YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE (unless the first thing you did was root, but that's not always the smartest idea)
so, here's the method that you can use to check your chip WITHOUT ROOT ACCESS
1) download the free terminal emulator app in the android market
2) open it up, and you should see a command line
3) type this command EXACTLY:
Code:
cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/name
if your device comes out with SEM04G, then GREAT! YOU CAN NOW SAFELY ROOT YOUR DEVICE AND FLASH TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT IF YOU CHOOSE TO.
if your device came out with M4G2DE, then you're a little unlucky. you may, of course still choose to root if you want to, but BE WARNED: YOU ARE AT A RISK OF ENDING UP WITH A BRICKED DEVICE.
It was previously rooted and I used several different roms. But I can't get it to turn on to try what you posted.

I woke up this morning to find out that my phone won't turn on. I then did a battery pull and the phone booted up to safe mode. Gave it another reboot and it booted to normal mode.
I'm a first time Galaxy owner and Googled what just happened and found out that its called "Sudden Death"?
Any one experienced this on their new Galaxy S4s? Is this normal? Should I have it replaced?
Sudden Death was a "feature" of the S3 (and nothing would revive the phone other than a new motherboard) , the S2 came with Brickbug... If Sammy have messed something up in the S4,someone will have to find a name for it
I would exchange the phone. Hopefully just a one-off glitch rather than a general problem.

A few weeks ago, i flashed a stock rom on my wifi nexus. I was happy with it until last week. Charging became incredibly slow - 30% over 8 hours. I threw it in my bag and wheb i got home 8 hours later, the battery was depleted completely. I couldn't turn it on. I plugged it in over night and it stayed at zero percent. I booted into recovery and reflashed my stock rom abd wiped my data. Still didn't charge. I tried going into my bootloader and hitting power off and then plugging in, but it still wouldn't charge. I can't flash my backup because it's on my card that i lost, and even if i had it, i wouldn't be able to keep it on long enough to flash it. ADB won't run on my pc and i don't know how to use the program anyway. What can i do to save my device? Please help.....

Not the average flasher knows how to tear apart a device - including myself. Anyways, this thing won't power up at all? You tried leaving it plugged in and booted into bootloader? If so, sounds like a hardware issue or the battery is defective.
I would be willing to bet that your battery connection came loose. Start at your USB port with a thin piece of plastic, such as a guitar pic. Work your way around the device and remove the back.

I heard that was a good site. I'm more scared of screwing up any hardware than doing the actually tearing apart.
I can boot for like 30 seconds and then it shuts off. I've tried the solutions in the thread link above; however, i still think it is a software issue. I've used other roms that had really slow charging, but i was able to switch to another one before the battery got depleted. So i think my best bet is to somehow get a new rom on my device somehow. ADB won't run on my computer. It just flashes a command prompt on the screen for like half a second and closes.

What kernel are you on? The kernel is what does the charging operations.

I had a similar situation in that after the battery died, I got it to the point where I could boot up, but after a screen timeout, it would be dead again. Finally, I got it booted again (while plugged into power) and immediately went to developer options and checked the Stay Awake, never sleep while charging. Keeping the screen awake kept the N7 on and it charged up.
Funny my Galaxy Nexus started doing this crap on me too after I updated the rom and kernel. The phone and battery are only 2 months old replaced in April.
Occasionally it won't take a charge. I have to **** with the battery, removing it several times. Then all of a sudden it starts charging again after 10-15 resets.
Haven't had a problem in a while. Typically hits me like every 2 weeks.
No problem on N7 though but it happens. First thing is to change your kernel and rom to something else. If still draining, flash stock and relock, unlock, relock, wipe. Boot, upgrade to 4.2.2 and test.
