try recharging by power adapter for some time and then try to boot ( at least into recovery with volume down + power ) to see if it does a thing.
nexus 7 might not charge up with usb.

I would charge it via the mains for a few hours then try power it on by holding the power button for 30 seconds.
Failing this, you can try boot into recovery (post above).
Failing that! I don't know sorry!

Yes. USB and via mains charge
and tried holding power button for 30s.
both fail...

Ok, try hold the power button for atleast 60s, if nothing, wait a few mins and hold power button and volume up and volume down for atleast 60s.
I'm really not sure what can be done if the device doesn't turn on at all!

You could try doing all of the above, whilst plugged into the mains...
I'm out of ideas sorry.
*edit* I'm not sure what you can do if you can't get it to turn on!

그냥 긴 내가 여기있는 다른 사람들과 당황 합니다만 항상 다음 다시 시도 몇 분 동안 보드에서 배터리를 분리 시도 할 수 있기 때문에 여기서 총?
Just a long shot here cos I'm about as baffled as everyone else here but you could always try disconnecting the battery from the board for a few minutes and then try again?

No. Can u boot into fastboot? What you did will not affect fastboot.you should press power + volup +vol down. If u get fast boot just flash factory stock image n u will b fine
THIS. IS. NEXUS.

Sounds like it's fried if holding both volume buttons and power for awhile doesn't turn at least the screen on. Does it smell funny?

Thats the RED light of death. Its a battery problem. Some people have opened their phones and fixed it somehow. I suggest you get a RMA.

Im not 100% sure but since what you did, did not cause the RED led they should fix it. Unless something you did made that happen. When did this happen and how?

Put it on charge overnight. It should boot into recovery.

Hmm, you might of done something wrong.. Why would you leave it while it was rooting? I dont know what to do. Maybe you did something to the battery. Since you say it was very hot the battery might of overheated and died. Was it hot throughout the phone? Or just the top section. You could always but a battery and replace it yourself.

It's just the top section. Maybe I did something wrong. The phone showed the battery logo for one second. But back to Red light then.

Charge it the whole night with another charger, not stock

I believe some have fixed thier problem by pressing down where the battery connects to phone

Plug it into a USB slot on your computer and repeatedly try and get into recovery. Worked for me when I got the red light. When you do get into recovery leave it there a while to charge.

I got red light of death and believe me I understand how it feels.
Good news: You can come out of it
1. Plug into wall charger for 1 hour or so. Make sure the wall charger has has at least 5V and 0.7 A, lower than that can not make sufficient charge.
2. After one hour of charging, the red light should go off (It's ok even if its RED light is glowing)
3. take out the charger and press power + Vol Down
4. Holding above two buttons, insert your charging USB to phone
5. The red light should blink and after a while you should be in boot loader.
5.1. If it doesn't do it again (Holding above two buttons, insert your charging USB to phone)
5.2. If you are not getting it after say 15-20 tries, leave it for charge for some more time and then try
6. Once you are in boot loader screen, don't let the screen turn-off, that is every 20-30 secs keep pressing vol button.
7. After 2 mins, chose reboot option and your phone should reboot, you can see zero battery
Bad News: Even though you will come out of RED Light of Death, the battery will become very weak (Very!!) and if again it turns off due to low battery it will go to RED Light of Death again.
If you have warranty and you are rooted, flash Google Firmware when you are in fastboot and claim your Warranty.
Sadly, I am in Singapore and using US set, so I can't do that.
Let me know if it helped.

[Q] Nexus 10 doesn't boot anymore

hey guys out there i really need your help,

2 possible solutions, first is the easiest.
1. While it's plugged in to charger and the battery is showing hold in power and up/down volume buttons together for about 5 seconds after battery disappears and release power while continuing to hold up/down volume until recovery comes up.
If your warranty has expired then try second option
2. Open it up and disconnect battery, hold power for 10 second then reconnect and power up.

AW: [Q] Nexus 10 doesn't boot anymore
Hmm, first solution doesn't work, but it once vibrated and the screen blinked for a short moment when I plugged it in after some time, unfortunately I can't reproduce it :/
I already rooted so I might have no warranty at all anymore but if it is a hardware bug they have to repair, or?
I bought it last December.
At least my friend got his rooted i9300 replaced without any cost when it got sudden death.
Actually don't know what to do now :/

OMG, I knew that charging does take long, but it needed 3 hours to get enough juice just to boot up
It did boot, but shows 0 percent battery ^^
I'm gonna charge it the whole night without shutting it down, let's wait until for tomorrow
Nevertheless thank you for your advices

Just send over if all solution not working, don't talk anything on root.
Sometimes they don't care, or don't know.
At least I had send for repair for Nexus One & S III before, and both was root.

AW: [Q] Nexus 10 doesn't boot anymore
Well, it does work now again but only shows 5% battery after 6 hours charging with wall.
Gonna send it in nevertheless, if they ask for root I'll just flash stock and send it

Red Notification light. Phone won't boot up

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.

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.

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

[help] red light, plz help <<Solved>>

hello all,
i have a nexus 4 whit 4.4.2, mahdi rom last build and the AK karnel; I run antutu and my phone went into a coma, no button combos were working and when I plugged in my phone I got the flashing red ligh ( like my video)
plz any one can help my??
i have traid this but no result :crying::crying::crying:
1. Unplug phone from charger
2. Press and hold the volume UP button plus power button for 60 seconds.
3. Release buttons.
4. Plug into charger
5. Wait about an hour for it to charge.
That's it. This is a documented and published fix from LG and Google. The pressing of the buttons does something to simulate a battery pull - probably some sort of flushing of any remaining current out of the phone or tripping some sort of e-fuse like feature.

you will need to remove the battery and charge it for at least half hour, then connect it back to the phone.

Leave the phone on the charger for an hour....your battery may be completely drained to 0%
my friend's asus memo pad turned itself off from 60% to 0% because of wakelocks and it took it 1 hour to fill up from 0% to 5%

I was afraid of this method! but I played all out
the point is that my phone is saved!
thank you very much to you too

I'm glad your Nexus is still alive. Cheers
