Try leaving it plugged in for a while before turning it on, sometimes flashing a rom messes with the battery life (it did with me)

i'll try and maybe the current will go through

you may have to run ODIN again.
To get your phone to turn on again do this in this order;
unplug USB cable from phone & computer
remove battery from phone
plug USB cable into phone
plug usb into computer
hold vol up & down at the same time
while vol up/down held, put battery in and wait.
Download mode should come up.
run ODIN

I got a huge problem!

Hello guys!
I'm an Ace user but one of my friend got a big problem with his an LG GT540. Once his phone chrarged down he couldn't ever Power on again.
Now, the phone is at me. If i plug USB cable or my samsung baterry charger to the phone, it works like a good phone but after 10-15sec screen goes to black and cant make it light again. (No anwser for buttons)
BUT if i plug out and plug in again the screen get light and works for 10-15sec again.
I couldnt get to Recovery Mode/ or make a Hard Reset. ( I cannot turn on the phone with the POWER button, so USB cable or battery charger the only way)
+ battery is fully charged.
Need help! Thanks in advance!
(sorry for my bad english)

Mods can close this im going to make a new topic.

An important question...Which rom do you use?

[Q] I think I'm f*cked

I know that you might heard of what I'm going to say tons of times but I searched the whole internet and still got no solution
I tried to update my motorola defy+ and then something went wrong, now, I'm stuck in a situation that I can't enter the
bootload or the recovery mode. all I see is a black screen(like the phone is off) and a white led above the screen(only when it's with the USB)
in added, no software on the PC do not recognize the phone when it's connected.
there's any way to solve this?

Switch off the phone, then press vol up and then the power button. See if the bootloader comes. I'm sure you ain't doing it correctly:laugh:

I've did it correctly, and I just did it again, nothing...

Does pressing both volume keys and holding them while you press the power button bring you to noman's land too?

I have the identical problem. I left the phone plugged into USB on the computer for 15 hours. No change. A wall charger does not turn the charging light (white light) on.
I have tried 3 or 4 different chargers and nothing helps.

If your system partition is corrupted it well never charge.
You must charge your battery with the MacGyver method or with another defy. Then you will be able to flash a sbf with RSD lite.

I'm facing the same issue after trying to install Quarx CM10 2nd Boot Build 09.07.2013. The Phone ran fine for some time and then died down. On Charging- battery would show ? when it was off so Tried the data wipe and reinstalling the ROM to the same consequence. Then wiped the system and after that disconnected the charger from AC outlet- after that- on ac charge- stuck at M Logo, and USB charging gives white LED. Able to enter bootloader with both VOL keys and power keys pressed- get message -
"motorola defy bootloader 09.10 battery low cannot program"
I'm not sure would be able to use MacGyver method, howver I can get an inexpensive universal charger to charge the battery- will it work?

Battery charger should work, and your problem should be fixed by a sbf flash

?? How exactly can he fix this problem without McGyver?? I don't see how this would be a good solution...
There's no harm in trying to charge the phone though, even though it might (will most likely) not work.

OP had asked whether an universal battery charger could fix the problem. Low battery error would've been obviously fixed by charging the battery via an universal charger, which I recommended, or by MacGyver method, which he had said he may not be able to do. That's why I recommended it. Since he tried to charge it the regular way by simply connecting it to a wall outlet, it didn't work.

I can confirm that instead of the McGyver method, using a new battery restores the device to being able to be reflashed. Yes, you are starting all over, but instead of a brick, your Defy is back in service.
Thanks to everyone who made the suggestions. I'm sure the McGyver method works for some, but a new battery and a $5.00 charger from eBay restored my phone.

Bricked my n4 after flashing ubuntu touch!!

hey guys....
i hate myself....
anybody know how to know how to recover my n4???? heres what happend....
i recoverd my stuff like always
put the two downloads from this page on my SD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324683)
did a pull wipe and dalvik
formatted system
then i wanted to flash the files
and without purpose flashed the second one first!
NOW
my phone wont boot... no recovery.... no bootloader and not fastboot!!
its suck at the google logo!!!
but whats wierd ist that at that google logo the PC sees it and also does toolkits!!! but no ADB
please if anyone has any idea how to get this running again please help me out!

Hold Power until it turns off then release the power button and press "volume - " and power at the same time and keep holding both.
What happens then?

Try to download this toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015469
And choose flash stock.
I don't know if it works but you can try.
Also, alot of people get stuck and can still can get into bootloader try every possible way to get there because if you can access bootloader you can fix it with ease.
Did adb work before? If not it might be your drivers so fix that if it worked before you don't can access your phone with adb while on the google screen.
Good luck!

Your battery died.
You need to put it in the charger for some time, the red light will go away eventually. Or try ro charge it with your computer or car.
BUT before doing that I THINK you must let it completly drain, so just let it the way it is and try the above tommorrow.
I'm not sure though so another member here needs to confirm this!

battery died indeed (probably fully discharged)
Try this:
1. just leave it charging for +- 30 min and check if it 'running' again (battery icon on screen).
and/or
2. hold the power button and then plug it in to a power source. Be patient because it may take up to 30 seconds for it to boot.
If it's working again and battery is full but system is not booting, try booting with volume- + power buttons and flash everything again (e.g. android 4.3) with fastboot.

thanks but No Chance!! the batter is full!!! if i tun it on with vol + or vol - or vol + and - ! all i get is a blinking red LED

I got a red light, not flashing ubuntu, it was running antutu with less than 30% bat, and OC. its all about battery.
What i did....
Plug my N4 to the wall charger all night long. After that i plug off and there was the same red led. I went to my job, on my way, i plugged into the car charger and....woalaaa , suddenly the red light turn off, pressed the power button and it start normally.
Do the same,but when you try to power on, do it pressing VOL- and power button to start on bootloader cuz you dont have an android system mount on it. Then Flash factory image vía fastboot.
I got that red light thing twice already OCin. And that work for my in both cases
Good luck

Red blinking LED is a battery voltage problem, best way people have found to solve is to use a 3rd party charger for a day or so then try again even if you think it's full.

I had tried this many times,nothing happened.

The screen should be black and stuff written like battery OK, USB connected, etc. Anyway if you did try that then update drivers, rsdlite and open rsd with administrator privileges.

1.I've charged the battery with travel charger
2.I've bought a new battery
3.I've tried 3 USB cables
