Hi...
i come across with a friend, he bricked his defy while he is flashing stock rom with RSDLite, the battery run out halfway on the flashing...
according to him, when he plug it into the charger, there is a white LED...
Can a interupted flashing cause the device to hard brick?
Since i am also a defy user, i am thinking of buying the device and try to charge the battery with my defy...
If the device is hard bricked, the white LED won't light up right?
Let me know what your opinion on this...
I don't think it is a hard brick
White light indicates charging... it should light up

try external wall battery charger

Protip: never attempt flashing when battery is lower than 50%...
C'mon this is the most importand basic of flashing....

think my phones bricked when I plug in a charger I get a flashing red led, then every so often it turns solid green then the green led goes off it trys to start then switches off again.
What were you doing with your phone before this happened?

I have upgraded to wolfbreaks 2.2, I think something has gone wrong with the usb drivers within the phone. The phone no longer charges and my pc sees something but says the USB device has malfuntioned,
I am now in a constant loop of red flashing led for a few mins then the phone tries to start I get the SE logo and then the phone dies.
Could be that the battery has died completely and now you can't charge it. Have you tried repairing with seus or flashing another stock rom with the flash tool?

yeah tried but the laptop wont recignise the phone even tried the flashtool and it just told me to connect my phone
You can only 'soft' brick your phone because our bootloader has been bypassed not cracked meaning it can always be returned to stock condition by flashing with seus or the flashtool but what you may need to do is take your phone in for repair and get the USB socket or mother board replaced. Perhaps try flashing on a different PC, you may have more luck.

There have been multiple threads lately with fixes for issues like this. Its either the phone hardware or the battery. There was however one poster who fixed his phone that was acting the same as yours by removing the battery and plugging the phone into the charger for a few minutes then replacing the battery (whilst still plugged in) and letting it charge in off mode. You might just need to try and charge while off and if you are charging with USB via PC you should try AC power as it uses more current.

I have seen the same increased number of problems with this. It seems that it is battery / charging related, and I have started to wonder if the batteries of some headsets now have reached a critical limit. A battery can go from perfectly usable to dead in a secound due to the built in protection circuits. Either they goes off because of some error in the battery, or protection circuit itself might malfunction and go off.
Depending on the circutis the battery can sometimes be restored, but not always, it has to do with the safety circuit design. I have some knowledge about these circuits, but I do not know whitch is in use in the X10 batteries. It might be several different, it is not given that all batteries are made by the same factory even if they have the same label (label is SE design, but SE does not make batteries.)
A good place for getting the basics of battery security circuity is this site:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/safety_circuits_for_modern_batteries
This is clearly a failure of chargemon
Ask a dev.
That means you need some way to reflash.
i might be wrong...
Its good there's a few suggestions and one is bound to be right so try these things in order to avoid spending money that doesn't nessesarily have to be spent.
1 plug in your phone to the charger without the battery and insert the battery again after a few minutes and leave it to charge.
2 flash on a different PC
3 buy a new battery. bst - 41is the model
4 if none of these things work I'd say the xda member doomlord is the best Guy to ask, he's very knowledge able.
5 take your phone in to be repair, its time for new USB socket or mother board.

Oh well Epic fail with this phone so its off to O2 to get it fixed, got a Nokia 2760 clamshell phone.
That's a pity, looks like it was your USB socket broken which is a fairly common fault or motherboard.

Im not sure, just hope they dont find the 2.2 upgrade lol, otherwise warranty will be out of the window.
If anyone else got this error too, he _could_ try this, it was working with my phone.

Hi,i have a defy green lens...my problem is battery..charge my defy come of 35% to 19%....and 95% to 100% is very slow...when unplug charge is 99%..i use battery calibration but not solve problem..help me plz......sorry my english is bad...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
Sounds like a bad battery. Try a different one. Chances are it won't happen with a different battery
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
I think that is normal, and 99% I think is because beyond you are charging the battery, phone is consuming battery too, so when u unplug the cable, appears 99%.
Mine did a similar, just not as bad. Something like 26% to 19% but I fixed it by not plugging it in until it was less than 5% and sometimes waiting for it to completely die. With it being that bad, you will probably need a new battery if that doesnt help any
Hello,
I have a moto Defy with Wiui GB stable on it. I recently got Mugan 1700mha battery.
The problem I face is that there are big drops in battery levels. The drops happen a lot of time and is pissing me off. Any help I can get to fix it?
Have you tried completely draining the battery, then charging it to 100% and leave it charging after 100% for an hour more and then using a battery calibration app?

Mugan said never let the battery discharge upto 0%.
Its bit weird coz I can't figure out what's it upto.

i've tried all the power + volume combos...how did you get to bootloader?
If people just let their phones charge undisturbed overnight and tried the next day to boot, that number would be -80%..
I bricked my N4 by accidentally flashing a wrong bootloader - a simple error that proved fatal!

That would brick basically any phone. You don't play around with flashing the bootloader unless you're sure.
Got the red light once while doing benchmarks.. But i was able to get into bootloader mode reflash system img.And bam i was good to go..
Dang man, this same problem is happening to the LG Optimus G. There is a thread on xda for that phone and the op says to take the back cover off, disconnect the battery then reconnect it and that fixes it. Maybe worth a shot on the nexus.?? That is if you don't want to reflash the phone.

Why you want to do it the hard way that void the warranty than the easy way?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I plugged on my friend's car charger and suddenly my phone turned off and wont turn on.
When I plug on charger or USB and keep holding power, red led blinks many times, faster and faster.
My computer wont recognizes it.
Any solution?

Holy crap. It's literally IN THIS THREAD.
Leave it on your charger for several hours and see if it boots. If not, it's probably RMA time.
It's plugged for about 10 hours and nothing.
I live in Brazil, no sells here yet and it was bought on USA.

I was just mentioning other options just in case someone couldn't get into the bootloader. What if you send the phone to lg because you couldn't get into the bootloader to reflash and they can by disconnecting the battery and find out that you are unlocked and rooted when the phone boots back up, which would also void your warranty. Although I would not take the back cover off if the phone was stock, might as well send the phone back if you can't get it to boot.

I am in exactly the same situation as you. Prospects to resuscitate our bricked Nexus 4 are extremely dim!
Im wondering if what is posted Here may cause this issue?
Please, any advice will be thanked.

You seem to know very little about how chargers, batteries and charging circuitry works. To put your mind at ease, a USB 2.0 port is rated at 5V DC, 500mA. That will charge a Nexus 4, albeit slowly. Your 0.7A charger isn't going to fry anything, as there are multiple safeties built in, unless something is SEVERELY wrong with it, meaning faulty construction.

So you are telling me that, unless there is any issue with the charger (faulty construction) there is no reason to worry about that it will lead to this "Red light of death" or any other issue (lowering battery lifetime for example)?
This is totally off topic but, Do you (personally) think it's true what people say that charging a cellphone with a lower output charger increases its battery service?
Quick question:
Does this red light issue appear when battery is drain to 0% (among other factors)

There is no reason to worry unless the charger or your phone is faulty, in other words, hardware failure on either side. Unfortunately there would be no easy to foresee that.
The charging circuitry will only use what it needs to do it's job. As long as the voltage is within range and the current is not too LOW, you're OK. The N4 is rated at 900 mA to perform a standard charge. It will accept as low as approx. 500 mA to charge in USB mode. That idea is rubbish.
I'm new to the forum. If you are in the wrong area, please forgive me.
I have a problem, my defy not turn on, is not recognized in rsd and white LED does not light when you connect the USB cable or charger.
All this after trying to upgrade to 7 cm. Guess that the battery discharged in the middle of the proceso.
Have any solution??
Charge the battery with an universal charger (do not look for other ways) and do the sbf flash process, and never flash sbf with low battery, never.
