[Q] kindle doesnt have enough power to boot

I'm using the factory charger but I have twrp.when I boot it it shows the triange then shuts down then back up in a loop, what should I do.I had the charger plugged in then the kf just died
Please help

I am seeing more and more of these threads of the kindle "not charging" after TWRP is installed. I am wondering if it's user error or something deeper.
I would let it charge for a bit and see what happens. Also press the power button a few times when you turn it on until the light turns orange. If it does turn orange and boots into TWRP then you know at least the kindle is not "bricked" and you can restore a backup.

Thanks but it won't charge at all I know its not charging because when it turns on a little later it shuts back down,then it boots up and shuts down even faster than last time.

Have you try to press and hold the Power button for more than 30 seconds?

I think I need to take the battery out and charge it separately,but how would I charge it once its out?I need help.

Yes it just turns on then off

Have you try this:

If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution
If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.

I have also used TWRP with Energy CM9 Kang ROM. In generally it is okay with a few non-major issues.

mad at myself
I am so mad right now...I got it working by making a charger that is one volt stronger.It booted up, but then i was going to take a picture of it to put on xda and when i plugged my charger in the seond time, the device shut down.NOW WHEN I CONNECT A CHARGER TO IT IT WONT EVEN TRY TO TURN ON,BUT IF I CLICK THE BUTTON IT TURNS ON FOR 2 SECONDS THEN TURNS OFF. I am so mad:

i assume you meant Ampere not Volt ?
usb charger has 5V - if build one with 6V (don't know how) - you will damage the device !
it should have ~2A - let it on the strong charger over night

I'm pretty sure that will work, if you can get that far. Otherwise (assuming you've already opened it) unplug the battery cable, start the fastboot command, plug in USB, then when (if? not sure it'll work) fastboot completes plug in the battery.
Changing the charging voltage won't help because the charge controller has a built in regulator. IIRC it will take something >12V, but there are probably other things on the USB V+ that might get fried at those levels.
I do remember from the tiny bit of battery charger documentation I'd seen that the Fire's charge controller does not have the flat battery recover feature, that is, provide a trickle charge by default if the battery is too low to power up the CPU. Which is flat out stupid on a consumer product.

Problem with charge battery

Hiho,
go to the problem:
I changed the original rom to CyanogenMod (NIGHTLY EUROSKANK [21/12/12]). used one month, until one day I was playing, and the battery was low, so I left him there, went to sleep. I woke up, and he was discharged and placed in wall charger, and went to watch. some hours later, I tried to turn on, and nothing happened, I thought I plugged the charger in the wrong way, I put to charge again, and noticed that out instead of white LED appears, was the red led. Loading left for some hours, I turn on and nothing happened .. (@! #! @ # $) And then plugged in the USB, and lit the white LED, and could not access it.
I did the MacGyver method, to bootloader battery, and did SBF flash:
" JDGC_U6_2.12.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANGCCORE_P013_A033_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf ", was all right for some time, when I put it to charge and lit the red light again, and then pulled the plug, and he hung up. and is now well. and no more MacGyver mode solves the bootloader
Please help
Sorry for the horrible english, I'm using google translate.:silly:
And also the huge text (I would explain how it happened)

can someone help?

Hi,
Sorry but in case you don't know, when the phone is discharged (under 7 or 10%) and when we plug it, it's normal to have red led. But you must have the "battery charging animation" with percentage when it charges... When it's charged enough (above 7 or 10 %) you can turn on the phone (power button long press).
Your battery could be dead, yes... But :
How old is your battery ?
Have you checked your wall charger ?
Is your USB cable charges your battery ?
Is your battery charges well with your original SBF (without CM) ?
If you know someone else who owns a Defy, you could test with his battery and his wall charger....
Your USB connector could be damaged....
Need some more informations to help you....

the cell completed one year this month (January / 13). I know that when the led is red because it is very low on battery. But let Loading 4 hours +. and when I connect to the computer it does not charge. it only illuminates the white LED, and can not connect or power on. anyway, the exchange led to suppose that shows the usb part is okay. I've used various chargers.
I can not run the SBF, why he does not recognize.
The phone is not turning on. apparently only led.

Try another battery... Your system could be corrupted, I mean, it seems your phone can't charge in 0-7 % step, so it will never boot... Dunno why, it could be an issue even if I don't really think so... But, to save your phone it's the better thing you can do. Couldn't you borrow someone's Defy battery ? A friend ? A shop ? Then you could test !

I can not because the phone only comes in the boot when it is plugged into the wall charger. when I connect usb, it only illuminates the white LED. and I can not get into the boot or do anything.

Are you sure you can't do any of these two steps (3 or 4) of the "bricked defy Step by Step Walkthrough" thread ??
Even the 4th ?
[...
3.First shutdown your phone, hold the Vol down and boot the phone up keeping the volume down pressed. you should come up to a triangle android logo, press the vol up and down key and then tap the screen ( this is a touch screen gui), choose the wipe data/cache and press ok, this should take up to 5 minutes.
4. Now, shut down the phone (pull the battery out and return it back in), Hold the Vol Up button and power up your phone.
you will enter the Bootloader (or BL as its called in the forums) and you should see the phone stating that (usually 9.10 version)
...]
If not, even with a charged battery, I 'm afraid your defy has a hardware issue...
Is your power button still alive ?

Power it on, when connected to wall charger. sometimes starts, sometimes they're showing is charging (the battery symbol with percentage in the middle). but I just pull it off. ie power on it, just in wall charger.
if a hardware problem it would not mind at all. (I think)

[Q] Dead nexus, red LED

Hi,
Last night my nexus died, i have no idea why. it was working fine until the battery drained and when i tried to charge the phone the LED charged to RED and nothing happen.
I have tried every thing that i can think of to reboot the phone but with no success.
(charging it all night, pressing any button combination.. etc.)
the only thing i can do with the phone is when i press the power + volume up for 30-60 sec the red led turn off.
I have taken apart the phone and disconnected the battery for few hours and tried again, but noting helps.
I believe that the problem is that the battery is fully drained and i need to charge it without using the phone.
how can i do it ?
do you have any other recommendations ?
Thanks

Hi,
Try this:
Faux123 said:
I got into many red LED situations, I was able to come out of it everytime by using the procedure I posted above (that post was from pure experience I had).
red led bootloop unbrick procedure
1. plug phone into USB cable connected to computer
2. wait for it to go into charge animation
3. unplug, then press power button to boot, immediately press vol up + vol down.
4. hopefully you booted into bootloader mode (rinse and repeat steps 1~4 if you can't get to this point)
5. chose recovery (if your recovery is corrupted, repeat steps 1~4 and do fastboot flash recovery cwmxxx.img)
6. from recovery choose restart system
if you can't get to step 2, because N4 has a bug with battery capacity, plug your phone into AC charge and let it charge for a few mins. then restart from step 1...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But even if disconnected / reconnected the battery still nothing... (howewer it's a good solution for the red light of death)
Try the thing above or let your phone in charge for some hours and don't use it...
If nothing works -> warranty

and if you get into download mode instead of red led use power and hold it for 10 secs till the screen goes off then quickly press and hold power up and down at the same time to boot into bootloader

I read somewhere that disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it will clear this issue, of course it means that you have to open the phone which is not hard

Hi,
@ fakeer, when you said you have disconnect the battery, you mean you have open the phone? Or it's just plug / unplug from the charger? This is what I understood...
Like DynamicRam said you can open the phone and disconnect / reconnect the battery...

Hi guys,
Well, since MotoActv dont have his own thread, i will post it here,as the title says, i will show you how to unbrick your MotoActv,
This tutorial solves:
Problems like low battery when the MotoActv wont charge and cause of battery low warning wont let you flash any software via bootloader
Bootloops
Sometimes not bootable motoactvs
This tutorial does not solve:
MotoActv with messed up bootloaders(although in some cases works /mine did worked)
Requirements:
Hardware:
Standart Usb Cable
Micro Usb to Usb Cable
Soldering Iron and Solder Wire
Aligator Clamps
Software:
A working/partially working Bootloader
ClearD's Image Flasher
A Rom(you can use any Rom,I will use Dprom)
Step 1
Disassembly the motoactv
You dont need to disassembly it all, just enough to get to battery wires.
Step 2
You need to remove the battery
Step 3
Grab your standart usb cable and cut the end point to expose the 4 wires.
Stripe the black and the red one to expose the inside wire.
Step 4
Solder the wires to the MotoActv.
Make sure the order is Red (nothing) Black (if you dont understand very well this part check the images bellow)
Step 5
Apply the alligator clamps, so that the wires dont move during the process of unbricking
Step 6
Plug the usb cable to the pc and try to turn on the motoactv.
If the screen goes on thats a good sign otherwise you should be worried.
You can now unplug the usb cable from pc and motoactv will shutdown.
Now as you should reallize the usb cable is replacing the battery by powering the motoactv in 5 v.
Step 7
Grab your micro usb to usb cable and plug the motoactv to the pc normally,
now your final setup should be something like this
Step 8
This is the most important step
You must plug the standart usb cable (the one you cutted ) to the pc,
and quickly press and hold "volume down" key and "power" key until the display lights up, when it does release both keys.
Step 9
Now MotoActv should be in a menu like this.
It's called fastboot mode or in bootloader menu.
Now you can open the clearD's image flasher put your images in images folder and flash it.
Step 10
Now the final step is assemble it all and ressolder the battery

Thank you for the in depth tutorial with great pics/video.
I wanted to share something that I found that worked for my particular situation, which didn't require me to take apart the device. First, a bit of background as to what happened to my device to begin with. I stopped ADB on my Motoactv 8GB via my desktop but forgot to reboot it afterwards. I then plugged it into a wall charger only to come back to it a few days later to find that the white LED that indicates that the device is plugged in and charging was not lit and it would not power on. I then realized that since I never rebooted the device after stopping ADB -which would have restarted it, the mini USB port was acting as a USB mass storage device the whole time and not accepting a charge to the battery.
When I attempted to turn the device on with a long press of the power button I got a momentary "M" Motorola logo before the screen went black again. I then pressed the power button and start button simultaneously and held them until I got a messages on the screen that read, "Bootloader Fastboot mode 03.11" with "Battery Low, Cannot Program" flashing below it. At this point I thought I was screwed, which led me to your post.
I then searched around a little bit on the internet and ran into this video for a motorola razr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtA4OU2xha4
I decided to give the instructions in the video a try because I had nothing to lose and figured that there might be some crossover between platforms/devices. To my dismay (but not surprise) the instructions did not translate over. However, after some tinkering around I did find a combination of buttons that did work. These are the steps I took:
1. Make sure your device is plugged into a wall charger via the mini USB port.
2. Press and hold power button for ~5 seconds, hopefully you'll see the "M" motorola logo displayed.
3. While the "M" is still displayed (it stays displayed for 1-2 seconds before the screen goes blank) long press the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously.
4. This is when I noticed that the white charging LED indicator turned on and the screen now displayed the animated battery level/charging indicator, which was at 0% as expected.
5. After waiting for the device to charge for 5-10 minutes the battery level/charging indicator displayed 10% and I turned it on as I would normally. Low and behold, everything was back to normal.
My ACTV is rooted and running ClearDroid 1.1.3_A with LauncherPro (I haven't kept up with the latest ROMs)
Software version is MA 1.7.10 N8
To be clear, I was never stuck in a bootloop, I simply neglected to reboot my device after stopping ADB and then unintentionally let the battery drain completely. Hope this is helpful to anyone that gets stuck in the same situation that I was in and apologies if this procedure was already outlined somewhere else. Thanks!

thats a good tip, but my motoactv reach a point that it doesn't even boot to m logo, i let it on charge overnight, and it just doesnt even appear charging logo, on those cases this is the way to go, but my method is more hardcore, before start open your motoactv try this, Other tip is to hold music button, Run button and power button, this "reboots" motoactv on a diferent way.

[FIX]G3 won't Power-ON and Bootloops while Charging

THE STORY:
So, today, my friend consulted me about his D850 G3 'cause he powered it off with 50% remaining and it won't power on manually via power button. I ask him if it still charges, the he plugged the charger on it and the G3 showed the "loading battery" screen (the screen that shows before charging animation) and it bootlooped on there, thus not charging.
Scratching my head, I tried pressing the power button while the "loading battery" screen is shown, the LG boot screen showed up, but it bootlooped again back to the "loading battery" screen. I also unplugged the battery, gave it a good rest, then plugged it back, but still, no good.
I tried plugging the phone via PC to see if it detects, and it detects, and it wont... So... Yeah... Still no good
And then I remembered my Samsung Galaxy S2 days, when I do this "soft-reset" thing. So, I did it and suprisingly, it bypassed the "loading battery" screen and now it charges! Tried powering it on, and IT'S ON! Yay! :good:
SUMMARIZING:
1. Phone won't turn on via Power Button, so no go for recovery and download mode.
2. Charging it just bootloops the "loading screen", thus, not charging.
3. Re-plugging the battery won't do.
2. No luck on PC.
SOLUTION (Soft-Reset):
1. Power off the device.
2. Pull out the battery and press the power button for 10 seconds WITHOUT the battery.
(I don't know if this is necessary on our G3, since I don't know if our G3 has a separate power source like the S2, but still did it anyways.)
3. Plug the charger into your G3 WITHOUT the battery. It will show like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Then, WHILE charger is plugged-in WITHOUT the battery, plug the battery back. Now, it SHOULD charge.
5. And after a couple of minutes, you can power on your device. :good:
If you face similar issues like my friend, try this and hope this'll help you as well. Just posting it here for reference and future bookmark. Have a good day guys/gals :good:
:good:

Are you using Fulmics rom? As far as I know it had an issue with battery charging when not plugged, you need to update to 5.3 to resolve it.

2. Pull out the battery and press the power button for 10 seconds WITHOUT the battery.
(I don't know if this is necessary on our G3, since I don't know if our G3 has a separate power source like the S2, but still did it anyways.)
3. Plug the charger into your G3 WITHOUT the battery. It will show like this:
4. Then, WHILE charger is plugged-in WITHOUT the battery, plug the battery back. Now, it SHOULD charge.
5. And after a couple of minutes, you can power on your device. :good:

I had the same issue on my vs985. What does it say in the computer under Start/devices and printers in the computer when you plug it in. If it shows up as unknown device its bricked. You will need to look at this thread it tells you what to do to fix this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359 Now I'm back up and running. Don't get frustrated when using the guide. I used a bread tie and it works perfect. PM me if you need help. This guide should work for your variant.

Are you using Fulmics rom? As far as I know it had an issue with battery charging when not plugged, you need to update to 5.3 to resolve it.

No, man. I think you've misunderstood my post. I posted a "fix" for the problem of my friend, and the problems already solved. Just shared my experience here. The PC detects the G3, then it won't, then it will, then it won't... You prolly get what's happening if you read the OP. :good:

Your right my bad. Just being eager to help ha ha. Well I've brought my phone back to life around 3 times now so I can be done unless the hardware is damaged.

thanks for this fix!! it works for me

Had similar issue with Galaxy devices while running a aosp rom. But my battery was fully discharged. I would pull out battery. Plug in USB connected to a PC. Then try to enter download mode or recovery. Then replace battery to charge a little before restarting the device to let it charge normally.

Oh my word... I tried rebooting my phone into Recovery Mode and it completely shut down on me. I've spent the last thirty minutes or so trying to get it to boot with no success I saw solutions similar to yours (pull battery out, drain phone, plug battery back in, recharge, etc.), but none that suggested putting the battery back in while the phone was plugged in. Success!

Thanks For sharing your Experience My problem is same to yours, But charging boot looping Download mode boot looping, When i remove the Battery while plugged to charger a Caution on Battery icon But When i plug the battery back Boot looping again Everything But my Battery have Charged up to 60% Something Is not Bootlooping Like Data Reset screen What is the Problem with my battery Please Help

Hello everyone, and a Happy New Year to all,
I have an LG G3 phone that isn't charging at all - no led indicators or anything. Upon connecting the charger (without battery in phone) ... I see the indicator as pictured above telling me that the battery is absent. As soon as I insert the battery, the screen goes black and nothing else happens. I've also tested the battery using a multi-meter and it's fine. Has anyone else experienced this ... and has a solution been found?

Hello! Thank you for such a speedy response! I really appreciate it.
Upon connecting the phone to my computer, Windows (10) notifies that the connected USB device has malfunctioned and therefore isn't recognized. In Device Manager the notification reads, "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed". Thanks for any further assistance.
P.S - I also have a question regarding an LG G4. I see that you also have knowledge about them but I am not sure of the respective protocols with respect to threads and such. Please advise, thank you.

Once again, thank you for your responses. I was thinking the same regarding 'end of life'. I believe that in order to resurrect it, something inside will have to be changed i.e a hardware issue. My computer and its USBs are functioning well ... so I know it's the phone. My major issue, apart from getting it to work again, is retrieving any information from it that I can.

THE STORY:
So, today, my friend consulted me about his D850 G3 'cause he powered it off with 50% remaining and it won't power on manually via power button. I ask him if it still charges, the he plugged the charger on it and the G3 showed the "loading battery" screen (the screen that shows before charging animation) and it bootlooped on there, thus not charging.
Scratching my head, I tried pressing the power button while the "loading battery" screen is shown, the LG boot screen showed up, but it bootlooped again back to the "loading battery" screen. I also unplugged the battery, gave it a good rest, then plugged it back, but still, no good.
I tried plugging the phone via PC to see if it detects, and it detects, and it wont... So... Yeah... Still no good
And then I remembered my Samsung Galaxy S2 days, when I do this "soft-reset" thing. So, I did it and suprisingly, it bypassed the "loading battery" screen and now it charges! Tried powering it on, and IT'S ON! Yay! :good:
SUMMARIZING:
1. Phone won't turn on via Power Button, so no go for recovery and download mode.
2. Charging it just bootloops the "loading screen", thus, not charging.
3. Re-plugging the battery won't do.
2. No luck on PC.
SOLUTION (Soft-Reset):
1. Power off the device.
2. Pull out the battery and press the power button for 10 seconds WITHOUT the battery.
(I don't know if this is necessary on our G3, since I don't know if our G3 has a separate power source like the S2, but still did it anyways.)
3. Plug the charger into your G3 WITHOUT the battery. It will show like this:
4. Then, WHILE charger is plugged-in WITHOUT the battery, plug the battery back. Now, it SHOULD charge.
5. And after a couple of minutes, you can power on your device. :good:
