I´m on Paranoid Android, last version. I was whaching a movie with less than 4% battery, and It powered off. Problem is that It doesn´t boot and It doesn´t charge either.
Please please Help!!!
Sorry for my english
Hopefully your up by now after letting the device charge for a while. If not I'll throw this fix out in case it's a software problem. I have no idea, but: The Nexus 7 has a similar situation of not accepting charge after the battery runs dead. Maybe the same fix will work? With the charger plugged in, hold your power/vol button combo to boot into bootloader/recovery. From there select power off. Then the tablet "should" accept charge. It's the first idea I thought of, but I thought that was an Asus problem.

The problem is that you can´t boot into bootloader/recovery. Tablet doesn´t respond. When charger plugged in, It shows icon of battery when pressing power button but it dissappears in a second....
Hold power button 15-20 seconds until it vibrates & release. If no boot then, unplug and try it. I had this problem once also. Mine finally booted when unplugged for some reason (after being on a wall charger for a couple hours). Someone told me during my ordeal to first plug into a computer for the 1st hour, then go to the wall charger. I think holding until vibrate was the key for me, or so it seemed.

It seems to be charger´s fault. I can confirm it in one hour...
Edit: It was the charger...

Ok my n10 is rooted and romed with CARBON rom, no problems nothing, but today I had an email come in I looked at it set It down left the screen on a second later it just died. so I plugged it in back on it comes. later same thing almost dead checked new email, set it down screen on then death.....plugged it in again, now nothing except a flashing battery charging symbol. been charging for 10 min. tried power, power volume down, nothing....got a different cable...nothing.....my computer wont pick it up either. what do I do?????
PLEASE HELP!!!
I just had this same problem with mine; because of the strange battery issue where my battery would read 90% when it was actually empty and slow charging once it was plugged in... The resolution for me was to plug it into the charger for 5 minutes and not touch it and then try a power on.

Thanks Ill give it a go!!
Plug it in to the wall charger, not a computer. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then hold all buttons down at the same time. This should let the tablet boot now and will bring you into fastboot mode. It defaults to "Start" so just hit the power button and the tablet will boot like normal. Once you verify the tablet will boot fine, shut it down and leave it plugged into the wall charger until the tablet is charged all the way.
Dont know if it is a coincidence or not but this is the 3rd time I have heard the same story and all people were using the Carbon ROM.
Thanks guys for the feedback, definitely will be switching roms and buy the pogo charger!

I think I have fried my Nexus 7.... didn't even think about what I did how stupid am I....
I decided to wire up a Hella connector to a USB cable the idea being to plug it into my phone for charging on the road... I then had a not so smart idea to use my OTG cable to connect the USB A connector to my Nexus 7 to see if it worked...
Nexus 7 booted past the bootloader and then nothing.... I realised then how stupid I had just been...and still nothing...
Presumably I've run a shed load of power down one of the data line..... what a fool.....
ARGH!!!!!!! anything I can possibly do to salvage it.... please!! :crying::crying::crying:
you could try something ASUS support told me, press all buttons (volume + & -, power) for 30 seconds, and if it won't boot after that, you should get a RMA

Going the RMA route would be costly. If it is dead, he'd be better off just bring a new N7.

Thanks for the suggestion but no it hasn't worked...
I've had the N7 plugged into the charger for the last 30 minutes or so and when I went back to it the screen backlight was on slightly (you can see if you look at the screen from the side)... but the whole unit was really really hot... I've obviously disconnected it but now can't get the thing to turn off, if I hold down the power button the screen flicks off but then back on.

I would think that "broken display” units on eBay/CL probably have working mobos and batteries, as the owners are trying to dump them because of the broken screen. But, buying used is a crap shoot.
Nice that Google is selling N7s at cost (or even a loss) - but it does mean that any oem component replacements will be a significant fraction of the original price.
I was reading in Play Books when my N7 shut down due to low battery. I plugged it in and it wouldn't charge or boot and I noticed a faint light bleed and faint dots streaming from right to left on the display. I tried things like holding the power button for 30 seconds to reset, holding vol down and power to try to get to recovery, but it wouldn't take. Finally, with it plugged in, I held down the power button for just about 10 seconds and backlight and dots stopped. A few seconds later without pressing anything, it booted up. It would start to charge, but if the screen timed out, I was back to the earlier state and it wouldn't come on. So I got it started again and immediately went to developer options and checked Stay Awake while plugged in. Eventually the charge built up and I'm back to normal, at least my N7 is normal. I only mention this because the OP talked about the faint backlight and it may be worth trying.

A standard hella charger outputs 5V at 2A which is the same as your N7 original wall charger.
I doubt your problem came from the charger, it might be softbrick at an unfortunately moment.
I came across a similar problem when i was editing a custom kernel.
If you tried every method to shut down the device and failed do the following:
1. Open the case (it's quite easy to open with a plastic card)
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+Nexus+7+Battery/9895/1
2. Unplug the battery and hold the power button 30 seconds (with the battery detached)
3. Let it soak for 10 minutes
4. Reconnect the battery and close the lid.
5. Put your nexus 7 in the wall charger, and you should see the battery bar on the screen.
After that, let it charge a few minutes and boot the device.
So I was using the new Hangout app to video chat, ignored the 4% battery warning, and eventually the phone shut off due to low battery.
After that I attempted to charge it all night, using various USB cables, wall units, the charging orb, and without, and a PC, and nothing happened after leaving it all night.
Holding the power button does nothing, trying to load the bootloader nothing, and holding both volume buttons and power does nothing. Simply unable to boot it or turn it anyway on.
Plugged into the PC also shows nothing.
I called google and requested an RMA, but I'd like to see if there was a way to backup some pictures from it.
Is there any known solution for this? I feel like the battery died beyond the point of no return or something.

It is really drained then... You can fix it by Manually applying current to it so it can charge a little. That's the only fix I can think of. And if I remember correctly there is a thread here on XDA which demonstrates the procedure.
Charge it for 5 mins, unplug it, then plug it back in.
I heard an answer to this somewhere, if you browse the N4 forums for a while you might find it, bit I think it was charge it for a few hours via normal USB, then hold power for 30 seconds to a minute? You might need to charge it for a few hours again after and hold power for 30s again. Good luck

Same thing Happened to me.. it died overnight and I plugged it in in the morning and now I checked a few hours later and it didn't charge! Wont turn on, I've tried various button combos and different chargers and cables.. Help!!!
I'm alive! Phew. So After trying all the combos with it plugged in.. I eventually waited an hour or 2 hoping it would charge.. and then tried the same thing after unplugging it ( after giving up and running out of ideas). With the phone unplugged I did power+volumne down and within a few seconds I felt a buzz and got into the bootloader.. then I rebooted. Phone booted up but battery was at 0 so it shut off instantly. But now when i connected the charger back I got the battery icon - Yay, it started charging!
This worked for me so just putting it out there in case it can help someone else

Yea, I got it working the same way also, why is it so iffy? The phone shouldn't even need a battery to boot if it's plugged in.
It should be able to bypass the battery power check to USB, and charge the battery in the meantime.
My Nexus 7 2013 wont turn on.I bought it on 4 sep ,no problems till this morning.Last night i left it charging and this morning it wasn't turning on.
My warranty is ****ed up because im using cyanogenmod 10.2. Any suggestions?
Is the problem that i was using charger outputing 0.7A?The stock charger is outputing 1.35A.
Hold the power button for 30 seconds.

unplug it and leave it for around 10 minutes, then plug it back in again, wait a minute and hold down power for 30s until it boots. Should be OK after that.

Good luck. But please do not make double posts and post questions in the Q&A forum next time, ok?
Always use the stock charter, and charge it over nigth, I think this solves your Problem.
Plug it for 30 minutes. Then restart.
If not unplug/plug battery by opening back cover.
Maybe battery was disconnected.
Did you try holding volume up + power? I had this happen to me as well and I did that combination while on the charger to get my N7 to turn back on.

I actually had this problem last night. My battery was at 20% a few days ago... left it idle, went to use it last night and bam, nothing.
Plugged it in for a few minutes and tried to boot, nothing. Left it for about 5 minutes and then just held down the power button until something happened, and finally I managed to get the battery icon to appear. It would stay for a few seconds then the screen would go black. Then it would return. Rinse, repeat. I couldn't even get it to stop doing that. Eventually gave up and just let it charge for another 10 minutes.
Looked at it after that and it was booted. Battery page shows it dropped from 20% to completely dead instantly. Not sure what's up with that.
The whole time I was doing this procedure, the notification light was pulsing in sequences of 5, if that means anything to anyone.
Anyway, tablet is fine this morning.
I ran antutu benchmark and the phone automatically rebooted. I ran it again, and got forced closed. Now It won't boot up. On charging it, the charging symbol appears followed by the red notification led. On booting while charging, I can go uptill the google screen but not further or bootloader mode. Please help!
It is rooted with cwm and faux kernel and Dalvik and Bionic optimized libs

In all honesty, you were probably right there, but you just didn't let it charge enough. I had a rlod the other day, I must've done it good this time because I had to let it charge for almost an hour before it would power back up. I can't remember though, if it actually chargers when the red light is lit, or if you need to unplug it and plug it back in so that it's plugged in with no red light, no power on, or anything. Let it charge while of with the red light on for about 20 mins. Then fiddle with it, unplugging and plugging back in, until you can get it to stay plugged in without powering it up or the red light coming on. Let it charge for about 20 mins like this too. Unplug it. Turn it on. Plug it back in immediately after seeing the google logo, let it finish booting and finish charging and you should be good. I've had around 5 - 7 rlod (mostly all my fault) and this method has worked every single time. I've never opened or rma'd my phone.

I'll try this tomorrow as it's 1 30 am here and I have a test tomorrow. Let's hope it works..
Btw I should mention, when I connected it to my pc, i got 'installing device driver' message with 'unidentified device' I mean is the phone already on? (although fastboot devices or adb devices doesn't show anything)
Thanks!
Sheep.... If its instaling drivrr on rlod then 49% of your phone being stuck at QHUSB_DLOAD mode. Good luck

What's QHUSB_DLOAD mode?
If the phone is completely powered off, your computer shouldn't even know when you plug it in, it shouldn't pop up with any messages at all. What your getting sounds a bit like the message people get when their phone is hard bricked, except reading from your first post, you havent done anything at all to even get close to a hard brick. Try holding your power button for 30 seconds. A real 30 seconds, count it out. When I turn my phone back on from the rlod (after doing all my rlod steps in the previous post), sometimes I have to hold the power button for a god awful long time, it has to be close to a full minute. Your phone might be frozen on some lower level (locked up bootloader maybe?) and might require holding the power button that long as well.

Wish I had a four letter response. Was this after letting the phone charge? I would power off and let it charge until you wake up. (four letter word was in reference to QLOD and RLOD like the average layperson would know what that means! )

Well i have been writing about this. In short you have to disconect the battery, and try to boot it again.fist try to hold the volume down when conecting the charger, it will restart bootloader , select to start. f that doesnt work, you have to disconect the battery, and wrtie an factory image ( nexus 4 occam ) . Try to boot the phone first when disconecting the battery, before writing the factory img. GL
