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)

Story time, fellas:
There I was, using my phone. All's well. Battery about 50%.
I put it in my pocket to eat. Time passes.
I go to check it after I eat.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Volume up+down+power doesn't get so much as a flicker of the screen.
LED doesn't light up when I plug it in to the wall or PC.
I don't think it could have run the battery dry as quickly as it did, or I would have noticed when it got hot in my pocket (which it's done before), but I'm not ruling it out. The battery health is decent; it's never jumped any significant amount or powered off below 1%.
I'm going to work on making a Moto factory cable per the instructions here, and to try and flash stock firmware but I don't know what else to do. In the meanwhile, I've just got it plugged into the wall, hoping it might charge a bit.
Is there anything else I can do?
Fwiw a Samsung branded cable is about the easiest for making a factory cable most micro USB cables lack pin 4

Silly question.... Front or back pocket? I noticed you said vol up+ vol down+ power did you try just power+ vol down held for 10-15 seconds? In the event that does nothing try the power and volume down for 10-15 seconds while plugged into the wall and look for the led to flash green...

Front pocket.
I just tried what you suggested: unplug, power+vol down 10-15 seconds, plug in, power+vol down 10-15 seconds. Nothing. This is trying to get it into the bootloader, yes?
The power+vol down for 10 seconds is the simulated battery pull... No response tho... Has it been plugged into the wall this whole time...? I was asking about which pocket to see if there was a chance at damage to the screen/ digitizer...

It's been plugged in since I made the thread. I'm gonna let it sit overnight, as if that'll make any difference. Thankfully I never trashed my old Gnex so I've at least got a phone that'll make and take calls.
Any luck?

Nope. Double checked the cable and made sure it was built right, tried that, and nothing. I bet it's that the motherboard just went bad or something.
Hello everyone.
3 days ago, I was charging my nexus 4, I checked and it was at 80%, and after a while, I rechecked it to find it dead : no boot, no charging icone, nothing. Even if im familiar with this problem (happened to me once before I replaced the battery), I tried different methods to resolve the issue : pressing volume down and power button and plugging charger or usb cable million times, letting the phone charges over night, charge it on computer, taking off the battery and trying to charge it seperatly (saw a thread on this forum), nothing happened, just a blinking red LED whenever I press volume down or up and power button over 10-15 sec and plug it. I even checked the battery with a multimeter and it emmites voltage, so I think the battery is good (1 and a half months old).
Please help me with this.
P.S: the charger used when the phone died was a faulty : if u touch it or expand (till tight) the wire, it stops charging, and u have the press the head tight so it goes back to function, and the one I used for testing all I said above was a good one.
did a new post, dont know how to delete this one --"

Hello all,
After a long time with Android phones since 2009, it's the first time I have such an issue.
Yesterday, I noticed my phone was low battery, and charged it during the night. Didn't pay attention a lot at the morning, and used it a little bit. At work, I noticed battery was very low and realized it didn't charge over 3%. Let it like this a couple hour, and realized it didn't charge anymore - Screenshot 1
After a long call this morning, battery dies and it's now impossible to charge.
What I did.
When I plug it, little battery+lignthing symbol. Nothing else. (shouldn't I see a battery charging animation? I don't remember as the battery of this phone usually never dies.)
Fastboot is working well, I tried to fastboot erase userdata and cache, just in case.
When Pressing volume down+up a couple of seconds, as instructed is some help forums, I see the red battery low symbol (and charging text, but obviously don't charge) - Screenshot 2
When pressing power + volume down about 15-20s, same scenario than before but text is green - Screenshot 3
I tried to contact seller and make the warranty work, but they are still trying to contact Motorola and seems complicated.
Please help me, I have to use an iPhone 6 while waiting for a warranty/response, it's just.... so ... iPhonish....
Just a quick update.
With the help of an USB power meter, I noticed that the phone will never charge. (or just 0.01 Amp)
I used the vol down + power to get into Fastboot: the phone "charged" with 0.1-0.2 Amp.
Only issue is that the phone will only stay a few minutes in this mode, then restart and thus stop charging.
I repeated the operation a few times till I get 3% of battery.
Then I was able to reboot into recovery, where the phone took 1.14 Amp => Problem solved!!!
Did you solve the problem? I have the very same problem and can only charge my phone in recovery mode. If I connect the charger while already booted into system a circle with a horizontal line in it appears in the battery symbol.
Tried to flash another kernel or rom without success.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Did this ever get any solution? Same problem here....
I post what I did to fix it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70917477&postcount=21
Hello to all experts.
1- Accidently my wileyfox storm battery was fully drained at night and i was not at home during that time.
I connected mobile to wall outlet it was showing red colour on home button when connected (as a battery charging indication) but after near about 8 hours i tried to turn it on but no luck. I pressed power button for many seconds, many times but no luck.
Now what should I do to turn on my wileyfox storm.
2- My second question is how to open back cover of my wileyfox storm. i did not find any notch or point to open back cover to see inside.
Thanks in advance.
Plug your phone on charge but not in usb, and wait about 20mn
I am having this problem as well right now, how did you fix it?
I too have the same problem , it was off because drain , but then put in office is no longer lights . the light is always red . what can I do?
Leave it charging for a while from the mains. Red light means charging on low charge, the screen doesn't turn on until it has some charge.
it is normal to be in power for eight hours, and nothing has changed ? Red light always on and off screen

I am no expert, but I've had the same problem after fully running the phone battery down. While looking for an answer I managed resolve the issue by to hold the power down and down array while the phone in chagrining for around 2 minutes and the phone started up, almost by complete accident.

I had the same issue you are having, battery ran down to empty, charge light would always be red no matter how long it was plugged in, slow charge, fast charge, holding down the power button, even with the inclusion of the vol down, nothing worked.
I fixed it by opening up the phone and disconnecting then reconnecting the the battery. After doing so the phone started to properly charge (phone booted up and displayed the battery animation). Everything now operates as normal, though I won't be letting it drain to 0% again, that's for sure.
If you're able to, give it a shot and hopefully it will do the trick for you as well (though I'm probably way to late).
Hello to all
I again have the same problem, the battery of my storm has fully discharged, but although is it charging for many hours the LED light is always red and the phone will not turn on. This time even while holding together power button and volume less nothing is happening.
Can anyone help me and tell me how I can fix ?
Level1imp how did you open the phone to disconnect the battery ?

After I read your message here, I've tried and finally I solved this problem in my phone.
I was getting crazy because there isn't place to fix this phone in my country and the company Wileyfox wanted me to send my phone to someone in europe to them send to Wilefox to fix it. I've spoke with the company today to see what could they do for me and the solution they gave to me was this and to I try to open the back by myself. But this last solution it isn't a solution because would make me loose the garantee. Why the technician didn't told me about this solution? I'm so disappointed with them.
hi i have a wileyfox storm it is not going on when i press power button .now i connect with wall charger so it show a red circle on the bottom and phone show logo on and of .how can i put it on
This works!!
For anyone who needs it, this also works on wileyfox swift 2
Had this too, but solved
Just had this problem occur on my Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus. Completely drained, left on charge for 4h but it got 0% charged in that time.
For me, hooking it up to a slightly stronger power source (5V 2.1A) USB port of my power bank,
in combination with Power + Volume UP
Got me to a boot screen I'd never seen before.
Hit Fast Boot, it looked like it just turned off again but a few seconds later I saw the normal boot screen pop up
