poped it back in, but not it wont turn on at all
i tried plugging the phone in, not even the charging screen comes on
HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE BEFORE

Try leaving it plugged in for a while before turning it on, sometimes flashing a rom messes with the battery life (it did with me)

i'll try and maybe the current will go through

you may have to run ODIN again.
To get your phone to turn on again do this in this order;
unplug USB cable from phone & computer
remove battery from phone
plug USB cable into phone
plug usb into computer
hold vol up & down at the same time
while vol up/down held, put battery in and wait.
Download mode should come up.
run ODIN

[Q] Phone Not Turning Up

Hello all,
My phone is not working and I am not sure why. Last night, I was at about 30% battery and I was charging via usb from my computer. It was working fine. I later plugged it into the wall charger for the night and powered it off. This morning, I tried turning it on and it didn't boot up. I tried plugging into different chargers to make sure it is not the battery, but the phone didn't show the battery status when plugged in. This makes me believe it is a broken USB port. I already called google and initiated an RMA.
Has anyone had a similar problem or know how I can fix this?
Thanks.

Did it show a red blinking led light when you plugged it in? Also did you try hard reboot(hold power for 10sec). Or try getting into bootloader(hold power + vol down)?

When I plugged it in after discovering it wasn't turning on, it did not show a red blinking light. I tried a hard reboot with no response. I just got into the bootloader (with the power and vol down) and it turned on. Thank you for the help.
Is there anything I can do to avoid having this problem? Also, what would cause the phone to not boot up?
Thanks.

Were you using a custom kernel with UV capabilities? If not than I'm not entirely sure why this would happen. Do you normally shut your phone off and plug it in overnight? Try airplane mode at night maybe. Possibly something glitched while the phone was off and plugged in.

Interesting. I was running completely stock (no root or unlocked bootloader or anything). It might just be a bug. I'll try out the airplane mode next time. Thanks for the help.

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.

If you have adb access, boot to recovery there.

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.

Bricked my n4 after flashing ubuntu touch!!

hey guys....
i hate myself....
anybody know how to know how to recover my n4???? heres what happend....
i recoverd my stuff like always
put the two downloads from this page on my SD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324683)
did a pull wipe and dalvik
formatted system
then i wanted to flash the files
and without purpose flashed the second one first!
NOW
my phone wont boot... no recovery.... no bootloader and not fastboot!!
its suck at the google logo!!!
but whats wierd ist that at that google logo the PC sees it and also does toolkits!!! but no ADB
please if anyone has any idea how to get this running again please help me out!

Hold Power until it turns off then release the power button and press "volume - " and power at the same time and keep holding both.
What happens then?

Try to download this toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015469
And choose flash stock.
I don't know if it works but you can try.
Also, alot of people get stuck and can still can get into bootloader try every possible way to get there because if you can access bootloader you can fix it with ease.
Did adb work before? If not it might be your drivers so fix that if it worked before you don't can access your phone with adb while on the google screen.
Good luck!

Your battery died.
You need to put it in the charger for some time, the red light will go away eventually. Or try ro charge it with your computer or car.
BUT before doing that I THINK you must let it completly drain, so just let it the way it is and try the above tommorrow.
I'm not sure though so another member here needs to confirm this!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

battery died indeed (probably fully discharged)
Try this:
1. just leave it charging for +- 30 min and check if it 'running' again (battery icon on screen).
and/or
2. hold the power button and then plug it in to a power source. Be patient because it may take up to 30 seconds for it to boot.
If it's working again and battery is full but system is not booting, try booting with volume- + power buttons and flash everything again (e.g. android 4.3) with fastboot.

thanks but No Chance!! the batter is full!!! if i tun it on with vol + or vol - or vol + and - ! all i get is a blinking red LED

I got a red light, not flashing ubuntu, it was running antutu with less than 30% bat, and OC. its all about battery.
What i did....
Plug my N4 to the wall charger all night long. After that i plug off and there was the same red led. I went to my job, on my way, i plugged into the car charger and....woalaaa , suddenly the red light turn off, pressed the power button and it start normally.
Do the same,but when you try to power on, do it pressing VOL- and power button to start on bootloader cuz you dont have an android system mount on it. Then Flash factory image vía fastboot.
I got that red light thing twice already OCin. And that work for my in both cases
Good luck

Red blinking LED is a battery voltage problem, best way people have found to solve is to use a 3rd party charger for a day or so then try again even if you think it's full.

Phone won't turn on, no charging indicator

Hey All,
I have bought a used leeco pro 3 off swappa. Unfortunately I didn't get the phone until much later after delivery (had to have someone bring it to me). In photos the phone works fine, but when I got it it won't turn on and there's no indicator that it's charging at all. When I do plug it in, the phone does get warm though.
Any thoughts what the problem could be?

Have you tried another USB-C cable? Apparently the stock OEM one sucks.

I have another leeco and I tried that charger still nothing. I've been reading and wondering if the battery drained. I'm going to leave it plugged in for awhile to see if anything changes. I plugged it directly into my laptop and it made that noise that it recognized something was plugged in but it didn't turn on or anything like that.

I'll keep trying but doesn't want to turn on. Interestingly though, when it's plugged into my laptop at least I can hear the phone being disconnected via USB when I hold the power button down. It just doesn't seem to boot up.

When you plug it does it show it charging.
You must push power and volume button at the same time.
Never buy from them.

Try use different cable connect phone to computer. For the phone show as Qualcoom HS loader on pc, I just can remember did not format it or anything like that and the phone was fine working again.

I'm having a similar problem, I bought a new leeco pro 3 charger today, original, plugged it in charged until led was green. An hour later noticed fingerprint scanner not working, so i discovered the phone is off, now I can't turn on. I had AICP ROM, the latest one from 21 january.

same problem,dead

Hello, I have very similar problem. My Leeco le pro 3 don't charge I try diffrend cables and chargers but when plug-in only orange diode start to blink. Do you have any other ideas what to try?

same problem here. LeEco shut down because of low battery. After plugging the charger in it, the LED only blinks red. Then it vibrates, turns off and starting into the charging mode without charging. Starting TWRP or dotOS is not possible because it shuts down.

Problem is "solved". I was able to boot inti TWRP and charged from zero to 10%. After that after few trys it was possible to boot into the ROM to charge the battery to 100%.
