[Q] Unable to re-install stock ROM - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to install the ROM Paranoid Android on my MB525. Something went wrong and when I rebooted, it did not go past the Motorola logo. After searching, I found that I could install the stock ROM again. I downloaded RSDLite, the Motorola drivers and found that the computer recognized my phone. However, by the time I downloaded the 193MB sbf file, my phone had run out of battery. When I hit power button + volume up, it says that the phone is low on battery and therefore cannot be programmed.
I thought I could just charge my phone, but when I connect it to the power supply, the Moto logo comes up and the white light on top which usually indicates the phone is charging does not show up. After a few hours of leaving it connected to the power supply, it still says it has not charged. How do I charge my phone?

Thanks! Yes, I'd already found that but I was hoping not to damage my cable. Is there any other solution?

A universal battery charger may help.

Thanks! I found one in an electronics store down the road for a hundred rupees. It works just fine now.

[Q] HELP!!! mytouch 4g went into comatose...

my phone just simply went useless after a drained battery more or less a week from now... it wasnt like that before until the most recent update from froyo to gingerbread that my phone just doesnt function or power up after connecting the charger... all it does now is.... if you press the power button itself, it vibrates 3 times then the LED blinks orange and thats it.... if you press power + vol. up, it vibrates 5 times and the LED lights up green. and when connected to my laptop with the orange LED blinking, it is recognized as a USB mass storage device. with the green LED on, it is recognized as "android phone'' - ''adb android interface."
i tried adb but always error no device found or list of devices attached empty/blank... can i still revive my phone???? help please......
Did you try power + volume down? That would get you into bootloader. When you are in there, connect your phone to the computer and download a stock gingerbread ROM and place it on your SD. Rename it to PD15IMG.zip Then the phone will recognize the name and update. Good luck. Thanks if I helped
did that alreaDy.... if i press power + vol. down, my phone just vibrates 5x and the LED lights up green while the screen remains black....
Did you put it on life support? lol jk.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Based on what you said, if device is plugged in that adb doesnt recognize it as well as not being able to boot into bootloader I would say that if you are still able to warranty the device with tmo that you better do it soon and let them know that the problem started right after you received the OTA GB update. They shouldnt take any issue if they beleive it may somehow have been caused by them.

I agree.
Here are some other options to try. Use the charger and cable that came with the phone and fully charge your battery (if charged already let it die and recharge). Remove battery for about ten minutes and then retry to boot up. If none of this works then you are SOL. Just take it back to tmo and tell them this occurred after the update like eqjunkie has said.

You said your phone's battery was drained to zero for a week, and after that the device won't start? Therefore it might be a battery related problem. Could you try replacing it with another one? There's a lot of them on the market, and they cost not that much.
Btw Mt4G uses the same battery type as HTC Thunderbolt.

[Q] Phone won't boot - Sapo a5 ZTE Blade

Hello, new user here, I have a technical problem and I could use some advice. If I posted on the wrong thread or if this is already solved, please forgive me.
Anyways, It was like 02:00, my phone was at around 38% battery at the time, I figured this would be enhough for me to make a backup of my CM9 ROM and then restore CM7. I set Clockworkmod to backup CM9, and that was successful. Then I restored CM7 from a backup of it I made earlier. I think it was successful but I fell asleep before I could notice. (Staring at clockworkmod restoring data puts you to sleep) It most likely ran out of batteries after completing the restore in Clockworkmod.
When I woke up today, I found my phone shut down and with no battery. I proceeded to plug it in to my PC. No charging... I saw that was wierd, and then when I tried again I figured out my phone was essentially dead.
Here's the problem, when I press the power button, it vibrates successively, and shows no signs of booting. I began reading forums, including Modaco (I had to use google cache because it just happened to be offline at the worst possible time), and they say that it's because the battery is dead. So I put it in my wall charger. After an hour or so, same problem. No boot, always vibrating in succession, and also even though I press volume up and down I get no signs of clockworkmod.
When I plug it into my USB, strangely my mouse disconnects from my PC. I use a laptop, and this never happened before today, and it is possibly related to my problem. In short, Blade plugs into USB, Mouse dead.
I don't know if my phone is refusing to charge or if it's bricked, I can't tell, and I really fear it may be bricked, because I can't afford a replacement. (No job, still living with my mom, I'm 19) I also have no clue if my computer can even recognize it, nothing shows up except for this wierd mouse problem.
So, can anyone help me?
Connect charger with blade,then boot into recovery....

Do a tpt or use the adb method.. I experienced this issue before.. after tpt,it worked fine..
Sent from my ZTE Blade using XDA app
Okay
Very well, I'll go look it up. If I have any doubts I'll post here again.
Uhhh
Well I tried the TPT method, I did the manual steps as described in a website I can't link to because I have too few posts ( : ( ), and the phone does nothing, it just keeps vibrating in succession as I hold the power, volume buttons and other buttons, even with the TPT in my SDCard, is there anything I'm doing wrong, and how do I do the ADB method, is there a basic tutorial on that that's easily explained? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I've got dim signs of life from my phone as the red led light appeared for a brief moment. I'll see what happens next.
FINAL EDIT: After a while of waiting, the red light greeted me again. And I pressed the power on button and my phone turned on like normal! : O I didn't even need to TPT! 1% Battery... My phone scared the heck out of me by being half-dead... Note to self: Never let your phone discharge too much.
Somebody close this thread ; D

RSD Lite not detecting Mini

Like the topic says, RSD Lite isn't detecting my Mini. It is detected and drivers installed in Windows 8.1. Difficult to get phone in fastboot mode, but eventually gets there. Any ideas?
Tried a script a found instead, received a bunch of low battery fails. Can't seem to get the phone to charge, not sure how to proceed.

The best answer for low battery flashing is using a Moto Factory cable...
What difference would that make, the battery would still be drained? It's making it almost impossible to even get into fastboot mode.

Will it boot to recovery? Also do you have moto device manager installed? If not, install it.
Also try a different usb port
When you plug it into power what does it do?

If I don't attempt to boot to recovery but maybe once a day, it will; one time. Device Manager is installed and I've tried all three available USB ports. When I plug it in, nothing happens. The screen stays dark. The only guaranteed way to get the phone up is to hold power and volume up. When these issues first appeared, it would charge while powered off.. sometimes. I baby the phone, definite A-stock. No idea what could have caused it. Rebooted one day and it never progressed further than the Motorola vibration.
Do you have xposed installed? Do you have a custom recovery?
IF so, try flashing something called xposeddisabler.zip from your SD card, then try to boot normally and see if that gets you past the M logo.
Xposed is installed, but I have no custom recovery. I uninstalled Safestrap awhile back to prepare for SunShine and such. That's the most bummer thing about all of this, $25 burning a hole in my pocket to unlock my phone -- something I've waited for since buying my Mini at launch.
I guess the biggest problem I'm facing now is that the device refuses to charge. I can no longer get into recovery. It will however bootup with the power button and using the power+volup. I'm out of ideas. I've found others with this issue, but no one seems to have an answer. I'd really appreciate any helpful feedback.

RSD light has known issues on 8.1. You will have to get it into bootloader mode and manually flash it via adb.

"factory" cable is not the cable that comes with the phone it is a special cable that allows the phone to charge in situations such as yours where the phone will not boot to any stage of the OS.

I dont think the factory cable charges the phone, I believe it bypasses the battery allowing for the phone to powerup straight from the wall/usb power, or flashing when the battery is too low.
there are a couple tutorials on youtube on how to make one using a spare micro usb you have laying around

you're probably right, but either way it gets you by the "low battery" warnings
Finally got my factory cable. How can I get the phone into fastboot mode with it? It instantly turns on and hangs at the same Moto logo trying to boot into Android whenever connected to the PC.
Got it into fastboot mode once, with the factory cable and went into BP Tools. Was able to charge the phone to 19%, but now I can't get back into fastboot.
Nothing happens when plugging USB into wall or PC with factory cable or normal now either >:|
EDIT: let the phone die, and all is well. Booted into fast boot after letting charge 100% and now I'm just looking for restoration files as sbf is down.

What FXZ you need, I have a couple of them stored locally... could throw in dropbox if its the correct one.

[Q] N4 doesnt turn on. Red Light blinks once.

Hello.
When I try to turn on my N4, I hold power button, and after about 10 seconds Red light blinks (just once, if it's connected to USB that 1 blink last for 3 seconds, if connected to wall, it's just quick 1 blink. If it not connected anywhere there is no action at all, it just stays dead, no blinks, nothing). Same if I try to go in bootloader by holding volume down+power.
This happened after I successfully installed CM12, with no errors. Then I rebooted my phone, and it just stayed black as it is now. Battery was around 25~30% that time, and phone was connected to USB.
Did I bricked my phone totally? I am now trying to charge it up already for 1 hour... but it nothing changes.
I have searched here for similar problems, but couldn't find solution...
Edit: Charging already for 10h+ , still same..
Edit2: I removed battery, reconnected after a while, still same problem.
So I tested it with multimeter, it says 2.6V, but fully charged must be 3.8V. Could this be a problem? I was charging it for whole night.
Edit3: I just got new battery . But it looks the same.. phone doesn't boot up.. same red light blinks once.. so.. its my phone is dead? I can't believe that...
When I connect to PC usb, there are unrecognized deviced called "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
easy fix
Hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time until phone reboots. If you see the little android no need to worry just let go and wait for your device to reboot on its own. This is not a factory reset it's just like restarting your device. :good:

I have tried that many times. Nothing. It's bootloader screen, but I can't get there. Nothing happens. If I keep holding volume down+power it just keep blinking once every ~10 seconds, same if I hold just power button. If phone is not connected to charger, there are no blinks at all.

I had the same problem a year ago, I tried to remove the battery, charging all night, and other solutions that I found online and no one worked.
Finally I found here in XDA a user with the same problem and his solution was charger the phone with a wireless charger, a friend of mine has one and I put the phone to charge and after a few minutes the screen goes on and the phone was charged, then I press power button and the nexus run again.
Hope this works.
Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Spain.
Good luck.
(I bought a wireless charger in case it happen again)
I don't know anyone with wireless charger. I already ordered a new battery, and then I probably will get wireless charger also. Ty.
But this problem is very weird if you think so.. I think it happened because of many aspects together:
1) Battery was already below 30%
2) I pretty regularly charge phone with USB (won't do it again)
3) It was connected to PC USB in same time.
4) I installed CM12 ROM in same time
So main reason I think is USB, that I restarted phone while it was on pretty low battery and with USB connected.. phone restarted and got invalid voltages and couldn't even boot up or charge phone. I also found an article which says, minimum voltage, when phone battery has 0%, it's 3.0V, so I was below that.. it just screwed everything and battery died. Well, I am not sure for 100% that it's battery fault, but I hope so, I really love my N4 and still wanna use it for long time, I hope it's not dead phone, just a dead battery. Lets see! I will update this thread , when I get my new battery (less than month probably).
Sorry, my english is also not perfect. I am from Latvia.
I was playing when it happened to me. The phone was very very hot and the battery was around 70%. When I put in the wireless charged and I can reboot the phone the battery was at 65%, so it had charge but the phone won't boot.
I charge my phone almost every day, sometimes with AC, others with USB (plugging to PC) or wireless that depends of my needs
I hope you can fix it. Good luck.
Btw. Do you know if battery charges with wireless charger, if it's removed from the phone?
Don't think it does, since the receiving coils for wireless charging are located just behind the glass back.

Major Issue Google
This "Nexus SOD" issue is showing up on many sites across the Internet. I have multiple "Nexus" devices including 2 Nexus 4, 1 Nexus 5, 2 "Nexus 7 2013". It suddenly started out of the blue with one of my Nexus 4 phones. Symptoms included rapid battery discharge. I am using Lollipop 5.1 on all devices. There are many claims as to the cause, Hardware Motherboard, Power Button etc. Others claim it is "Software Related" or App Related. The problem effects Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 phones. I have ordered a new motherboard for my nexus 4 device and see if that makes a difference.
This problem should warrant a "Major Android Lollipop Crisis Team" by Google to investigate the cause and let us know what it is and what Google is doing to solve the problem before moving to announce "Android M". This issue needs to brought up and actively pursued at the upcoming "Google I/O Conference" by the strong Android Developers Groups to press for "Formal Action"

I had this problem a long time ago and my fix worked for me after doing a little research it seems like this is a case called battery total discharge. The fix was simply to charge your phone using the wall adapter that came with your phone (I still use my old apple cube wall thing) and to wait for the red light to appear then wait about ten minutes before trying to reboot.
I just got new battery . But it looks the same.. phone doesn't boot up.. same red light blinks once.. so.. its my phone is dead? I can't believe that...

Just tried booting without battery, and connecting to wall. Same - red light blinks once, after I hold Power button or Power+Volume down for about 15 seconds. If I keep buttons pressed, it just repeats every ~15 seconds.
Power buttons works fine.
After I checked that Device manager thing in google.. it looks very bad.. phone is dead.. probably need to change motherboard. I am just shocked, how this could happen... I didn't receive any errors during CM12 installation. Phone just instantly died after restart.

Moto G5 Plus Dead (only white light blinking)

This is my first time posting here so hi everyone.
I have a problem with my moto g5+.
I purcased my moto g5+ around a year a go completely new and ended up not using it.
Now my primary device broke down and i thought its time to switch only one problem.
It won't turn on.
When I connect charger white led will consistantly blink but nothing else happens no battery charging screen , nothing.
It wasn't compleatly discharged since I charged it up till 100% and turned it off when I puted it away , i still did charge it a couple times during the year of not using it and last time was a month ago and it charged just fine.
No water or Physical Damage has been done to the phone no rooting also , it just wont turn on.
I tried hard reseting it , tried to hold power button for 5 min tried to enter boot loader to access recovery mode with no luck.
I used original charger and cable that came with phone to charge it.
Since warranty is out of the way by this point because i bought it in july im seeking a fix or recommendation here.
All help will be appreciated

It seems your device had hard bricked, you can recover it by using the blank flash file.
Here is the procedure:-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/moto-g5-plus-hard-bricked-recognized-t3636457
But, I don't understand how you are device got hard bricked as you need to downgrade or root it to get your device bricked. But you can recover it by above link.

Tried doing this methode but my pc wont reconize the device as connected , when i connected it to the pc it showed lightning symbol like charging , i left it to charge for 2h but still nothing.
In order to use blankflash successfully your PC needs to be in test mode. To do this
Code:
Click Start, and then type cmd in the Search box.
Under Programs, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator.
At the command prompt, type the following text, and then press Enter: bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF.
Close the Command Prompt window, and then restart your computer
When you plug in phone, look at device manager, ports, and see that it is connected. It should say something like "Qualcomm HS- USB Diagnostics " with a port "Comm 7" or whatever #.
1.Be sure Qualcomm drivers are installed.
2.Make sure your Hard Bricked Moto is connected in device manager under ports .
3.Hold volume down and power until you see it connect under ports. It should say "qhsusb-bulk" You should hear a slight sound from PC when it connects. This can be very tricky as another member [ Rakesh1b] explained his method.
trick is to press and hold the power button then it disconnects and connects to pc u could hear sound from pc then press voldown and power and launch blankflash.bat at the same time i mean same time then it detects and leave the buttons once you see the script running if not it will reboot the device and after running the script it will be booted to fastboot mode . if u failed 1st time repeat same power off then remaing things same as mentioned.

Good luck, as it is not an easy process. One time it took me nearly half an hour to time it right, to get blankflash to run successfully. Also I played with a phone that would never flash Vaches blankflash for the G5 + but had to use the one for addison, Moto Z play. When that happens you have to do the extra step of flashing the addison to potter files. Hopefully you won't have to do all that, but just warning that sometimes it is necessary. Like I posted before, in device manager on PC, make sure under ports it shows as qhsusb-bulk under the port it lists as. Also be sure you have adb/fastboot and all its drivers correctly installed. I am really curious as to how it got hard bricked, because even doing my test phone, it is difficult to hard brick it. I have this "test phone" that has a bad microphone, so I have run it through all kinds of crap, rather than jeopardise my every day phone.

When I connect charger white led will consistantly blink but nothing else happens no battery charging screen , nothing.
It wasn't compleatly discharged since I charged it up till 100% and turned it off when I puted it away , i still did charge it a couple times during the year of not using it and last time was a month ago and it charged just fine.
No water or Physical Damage has been done to the phone no rooting also , it just wont turn on.
I tried hard reseting it , tried to hold power button for 5 min tried to enter boot loader to access recovery mode with no luck.
I used original charger and cable that came with phone to charge it.
Since warranty is out of the way by this point because i bought it in july im seeking a fix or recommendation here.
All help will be appreciated

If your phone was in oreo, you maybe want to try the addison (moto z play) blankflash, i once bricked mine and the potter blankflash always failed.
Also try the USB 2.0 ports, as the 3.0 ones doesn't recognizes it.
Put it on the charger and let it charge. IT could just be deader than disco.
Also check your cable make sure it's a data cable buddy.

Well good news is , that i manged to get it to show up as the device with which i should be able to do blank flash.
The problem now is it won't stay in bootloader to be recognized as that device longer than 30 sec.
It just turns off after some time and pc automaticly wont recognize it anymore.

Good luck, as it is not an easy process. One time it took me nearly half an hour to time it right, to get blankflash to run successfully. Also I played with a phone that would never flash Vaches blankflash for the G5 + but had to use the one for addison, Moto Z play. When that happens you have to do the extra step of flashing the addison to potter files. Hopefully you won't have to do all that, but just warning that sometimes it is necessary. Like I posted before, in device manager on PC, make sure under ports it shows as qhsusb-bulk under the port it lists as. Also be sure you have adb/fastboot and all its drivers correctly installed. I am really curious as to how it got hard bricked, because even doing my test phone, it is difficult to hard brick it. I have this "test phone" that has a bad microphone, so I have run it through all kinds of crap, rather than jeopardise my every day phone.

Well managed to get it to point where my pc recognized phone as device buuut another thing came up. It only is recognized for max 30sec after witch phone gets disconected from pc. Any way to fix that? Or mby im doing something wrong here? I'm starting to consider battery replacment which i dont want to do because it awful to replace battery on this thing.
What is it recognised as? Battery replacement may save you from having to go through the blankflash process if the device will not stay on while plugged in. Only use blankflash if it shows as qhsusb-bulk.

yes it showed up like that but like I said it wont stay on. I remembered one time when I got it to work this month. I was able to boot in to android , factory reset it but the problem was as soon i pluged in the charger phone went from 44% up to 89% in 2 sec then droped to 14% and then to 0 and turned off. I was able to turn it on again after that , it showed 44% like before the charger was connected then I tried to charge it while it was off and since then I haven't been able to go past booting screen since it just turns off after like 30sec on boot screen.
Mby i should just buy a new battery and see if that will fix it.

I would recommend that or to take it to a service center. Using the blankflash method could brick the device forever (if it's just a battery/display problem), also you will have to live with another devices bootloader and resulting problems from that.

Well service center is out of the way since closest one to me is like 200km away . I should be able to replace it my self so no problems there. I just hope that maybe replacing the battery will fix everything since the phone is practicly brand new and it would be painful and expensive if it's not a battery problem but like motherboards or smth like that.

Reboot your pc, and connect the phone to the wall charger for about 10 minutes, then try again the blankflash, and when it's done just play around with the volume up/down buttons just to keep the bootloader on, and use the g5+ toolkit to flash the oreo stock firmware
in any case, this is the blankflash i used it

How did you managed to show it up as a device , i couldn't. I tried everything that i understood from written on these forums, installed qualcomm drivers , moto g5 plus drivers. The device doesn't show up in device manager, its just blinking and doesn't show anything else , i tried charging it overnight. The Led light does go away after a while when i put it o charging, but when i hold down the power button and volume down key it starts blinking again and nothing beyond that

Well for me it works like this , i leave it for about 12h (over night) untouched , then after that I can put it on charger and get in bootloader with holding down power button and vol down button at the same time. I have seen some other people that have revived their phones like this usualy they say to just leave it for 24h but for me it works after 12h. if u can get in to the bootloader
after those hours and the phone doesn't turn off (like mine) I would suggest that u leave it for charging in bootloader for atleast 2h and then try to power it on in factory mode thats how I got it to work one time. I hope this will help you.

Thanks for replying.
A few points to clear with 12 hours untouched ,do you mean i have to left phone as it is without even charging and if so after 12 hours for how much time do you charge it before getting it to bootloader and did you charge it with the moto turbo charge or just a regular charger or with computer.
