This just happened three days ago, when I want to turn on my N7, I have to keep the button pressed for a long time, and when I tried charging it, the battery icon didn't appeared. Also, battery has been heating up by only watching YouTube videos. This has never happened before, and battery is also calibrated... Help!
Please provide more info. Is it unlocked/rooted, which rom/kernel are you using?
Yes, unlocked/rooted, running 4.4.2 stock. I don´t know if Xposed modules can be causing that...
Please I need a reply, I can´t turn on my N7! I tried pressing the power button for more than 1 minute and still nothing happens. I also tried powering it via recovery and via PC but still nothing happens. Also, when I try to turn it on, the tablet starts heating, and it continues to be hot while trying to charge it. I really need a reply!

Try full charge (~6 hrs) then unplugging the battery and replugging it back after opening the back cover.
I also tried that, but still nothing happened. I think it could also be the screen because when I connected my tablet to the PC, it recognized it as a USB device, but still nothing was shown in screen...
If you can access it via ADB, it means it booted into Android. So, it sounds likely to be the screen's failure.
Well, actually when I connect it something like this appears, so I guess it´s ADB or something...
That's not ADB. It's sooo not ADB. It's bad news. It basically means your device is hardbricked. Only a previously created nvflash backup or Asus can revive it.

Well, I knew about nvflash, but never made one... I guess I´ll have it serviced. Thank you.

Hello!
I have Desire Z, rooted with MIUI-Android ROM, which was like 3 weeks old, and sometimes during the waking through trackpad it went blank-screen but after hitting the power everything was ok (without restarting the phone).
Last night i've charged the phone to 100%, however i was using different charger. In the morning the phone worked flawlessly but after a couple of hours it hanged/crashed. It didnt boot since then. I've tried removing the battery, nothing happens. After plugging it into the computer i see orange led blinking as if it was charging and after hitting the power button it stops blinking, however no indication of booting up is present (still powered off screen and no buzz).
Any idea what options do i have?
Regards,
Wojtek
no splash screen or anything? Does adb pick it up?
I was planning to use it, but i was at work, so...
yeah!
"adb reboot-bootloader" did the trick. After that the device is up again!
now.. where is that famous "Thanks" button. I'm probably blind or something, but a few times i wanted to use it, but dont see it, haha!
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: ah, there is is..
wow easiest help I think I've ever given lol!
..well, sometimes even a simple smile can help
Cheers!
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....
Is it booting into recovery?
Nope
Nope, I wish. : ( When I connect it to the charger and try to turn it on, it only vibrates, nothing else, no recovery, no Android logo.

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

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.
Few weeks ago I found wife's old NST (non-glowlight model) in working order and decided to root it. Rooted it, played around with it. Wasnt too impressed, so just threw some ebooks for my kid to read while on vacation. Left it on my desk for a few weeks as I got busy with work. Today I picked it up as my son's vacation is next week and it's frozen on the "Installing... A new software update is being installed This will take a few minutes" screen.
I mean I googled for several hours, the hold the power button for 20 sec method....the hold the power and the "n" button method, I charged it, indicator light is green. I even opened it up and pulled the battery cable..... NOTHING WORKS...]
Please help. So weird...it was working fine and now frozen.

And I guess the drives don't mount successfully. Well, disconnecting the battery should certainly turn it off. If reconnecting makes it start spontaneously (should not), you could prepare a Nook Manager sdcard and insert it before reconnecting the battery. But this sort of sounds like the ability to boot is lost. Hmmm. I'll have to think about it.
unfortunately disconnecting the battery does not appear to do anything... screen continues to show that 'Installing... " screen. Hoping to get this thing figured out with someone's help

E-ink screens stay the same unless there is a new powered input so it could simply be off, having run the battery down completely during an update (maybe Wi-Fi was left on? That would run down the battery for sure). So if all of this happened during an OTA update, it could be really messed up
When my NST is off, plugging in the power pack turns it on. Initially the LED is green and then changes to orange as charging begins. I'm assuming nothing happens when you do the same. If the OS is scrambled from losing power during an update it may not be able to boot. You didn't say how you rooted. If you used Nook Manager you could try putting in that card and then connecting to the power pack, hoping for a boot from the SD card. If you got that far you could try a factory reset.
My power button is sometimes really cranky and a few times I've run through my entire stock of words that do not come from children's books trying to get the device to turn on. So you might try, but if it's really off the power pack should turn it on.

When I plug in the power cable the light just becomes green it never (not even for a split second) turns orange. Yes, I'm rooted using nook manager. I just suck my Nook Manager SD card in the nook but nothing happens. I'm not sure what you mean by using the power button, in my original post I mentioned I tried the power button with no luck. What do you mean by power pack?

Power pack = charger.
So if the Nook is actually off, attaching the charger with the NM card inserted should make it boot. Did you try the procedure in the link above?
Just tried the procedure of unplugging the battery, holding the white power button for 30 secs, then connecting battery and connecting to charger. There is a split second orange light and then green the first time i plug it in....subsequent plugging results in always green....the issue with the frozen screen on "Installing" remains. Tried the holding x 20 secs method to promt a restart....nothing.... what else can I do?

If the battery is actually "dead" (not impossible on these old devices), the NST will not start, even if plugged in. Do you have a voltmeter of some sort to check the battery? If it's actually charged, it should show a solid voltage. If not, that may be the issue. If the battery is actually charged then there's a pretty serious issue that can't be fixed without access to the OS by ADB, or the ability to boot from the SD card. Beyond my "pay grade", at any rate, I'm sorry to say. There are batteries available online but the price may not make sense.
I don't think it's a battery issue. I had another NST with a good battery but a bad screen (lines all across screen) . I fully charged it using the bad screen reader and used the battery from it for the frozen nook... no luck.. oh well... I guess this is a paperweight now... thanks for your help everyone.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
