Hiya Friends:
I got a notification that an update CM12 is available. I downloaded the 677 MB file and pressed the update button. I had charged my battery to 97% prior to the update.:cyclops:
It is 5 hours since then and the phone is stuck at the initial screen. YU powered by android.
Note: My phone is NOT rooted. I haven't modified anything since I got the phone except for resetting it once to factory settings after forgetting my password.
Please help me out. I am a newbie and don't know how to proceed. And, Yes, I did have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-m/help/stuck-boot-splash-screen-installing-cm12-t3017498; I have no idea of what gaaps or xposed installer means.:crying:
Kindly help me out, friends. Thanks in advance!
Sometimes the oldest trick in the book works!!
I opened the back case and took the battery out from the casing. After 2 minutes, with prayers in my heart I inserted the battery and switched the device on.
The device switched on with the familiar Android screen followed by a new, dazzling CYANOGEN screen. As I waited with bated breath, the phone changed screens after 5 minutes and started installing updates. It took an hour :silly:to finish installing the updates and after a re-boot, I am having a :good:wonderful lollypop experience.
Hint: Please charge your phone fully and connect it to a live charger while the installation is happening. I had charged it completely and after the updates, I was left with 35% charge.
Good luck my friends! :good:
try removing the battery and inserting it again.. i faced the same issue..
after it boots up, factory reset the phone or it will lag a lot.

Hi everybody.
Seems I'm in bit of a predicament.
I've flashed the latest Resurrection Remix rom with learnkernel 2.5 on my note 3 over the weekend and all seemed fine. I let my battery run flat to give the phone a fresh charge just a few minutes ago and the usual happed - upon charging, the battery charge logo displayed on the screen (albeit not updating). I know this is normal. So I went about my business. A few minutes later, I turned back to the phone and saw the display not showing anything. My initial thought was "ok, phone probably went to sleep". Nope, as it turned out the phone is completely dead. Won't turn on at all. Took the battery out and put it in again after n minute and it still won't turn on. I hope to god there's a way of getting my baby to boot up, otherwise it seems my phone just bricked itself? This is the first time something like this has happened in all the years of me flashing my devices.
I can't post on the RR nor LeanKernel forum for advice as I don't have enough posts on the site to do so.
Anyone else had similar issues and is there a way to remedy the situation?
fixed

Found the problem. Seems my charger is messed-up. Popped in a normal USB2 cable and the phone is up and going again.
Sorry for causing any inconveniences.
Have a good day.
Hello guys, this is my first time posting up in XDA and I am encountering a very weird problem with my N4
Disclaimer, the following is a long write but please bear with me and give a read.
Here's my problem after flashing the simple asop 29/5 build for mako. I come from same rom build 21/5 but i did a clean flash for the latest build. As soon as success flashing the latest build with gapps, then as usual will proceed reboot the system. Just right before the boot animation, the phone immediately went dead. I am sure that the phone is still left with 50%+ of battery at the moment.
Anyhow, I decided to plug it into charger. And voila, the phone now able to go through the boot animation and everything just fine. After setting up and restoring backups, I unplugged the charger, its 75%+ on the battery. Within 10-15 seconds, the phone immediately go dead again. I hit the power button and tried to boot up. Again, right after the Google logo screen, the phone went dead.
Commonly this indicate a problem with the battery. Yeah, but I went into recovery twrp and disabled the screen timeout & max the brightness. Guess what, surprisingly it lasted more than an hour which proves that this wasn't battery fault.
What had I tried so far, is just switched off the phone and plugged into charge for 2 hours. And obviously it doesnt solve the problem. I am backing up all the data at the moment and plans to drain the battery all the way down just leaving it screen on at recovery.
Anyone who know what happening with my n4 or encounter similar experience, please feel free to share the solution. Many thanks

Have you tried making a clean wipe and trying either stock or another ROM, to see if it works then?
Your test doesn't prove it's not the battery's fault. Flash back to stock, see if the problem persists and if it does then you know you have a hardware problem. Could be the battery.

Hello, much appreciate your reply. I flashed back to stock 5.1.1 now and yet this problem is still persisting. Thus pretty obvious thats an hardware faulty.
In another forum, a guy with Nexus 7 had similar situation as me, and he suggests that its the battery or the circuit board at the charging port went kaput.
Guess nothing else I could do right now, gonna send in the phone for repair and hope the bill wont cost as much as a used nexus 4
Good day XDA,
My phone went on a real havoc starting yesterday when it kept on rebooting in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by Android" logo. It doesn't go past it without having the phone plugged into into a power source, either USB, powerbank or wall charger. After charging it 'til it goes full, it only takes few minutes to few hours before it goes to the same cycle again - and I have to plug it in again in order to use it properly.
What could be the problem? Your immediate response is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
hi , i find when i experience this issue is when play store updates theme that i have in use at time , soon as i reboot i get bootloops ...i fix mine by pressing and holding vol down menu and power for as long as it takes for bootloader then press them same keys again but release before bootloader so that your phone boots as normal hope this helps
I know this is the combination for force reboot but sadly, that doesn't help. Thanks for the idea, though.
Tried clearing caches from recovery?
Battery still good?
I think the battery might be the problem. When I tried charging it, I went back and it was on 92% then few seconds later, it jumped to 100%. I tried booting it but with no luck, so I pulled the battery and upon putting it back, it dropped to 50%. I pulled and put it back again and it went to 84%. I'm thinking it might be the battery. I cannot boot into system or TWRP, only on Odin mode but I need to save the files saved on my internal storage as it has photos I haven't backed up yet.
My phone was acting normal until now. Today after completely draining the battery I went to plug it in at home. The usual battery charging picture appeared and I thought nothing of it. Then when I tried loading the phone, it loaded as normal till it got to the lock screen, where it showed the battery at 0%. If you leave the phone for a while, it goes back to booting and does the Android Animation for a long time before going back to that lock screen, showing 0% and repeating itself. If you try and login, by the time you get in, it will go back to the booting Android Animation.
I can't seam to get beyond this point. I tried turning off the phone completely, then turning it back on. I tried clearing the cache. Nothing. I am stock standard, not unlocked bootloader. I am on Android 8.1.0 Security Patch January 2018.
Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
Just letting you know it is.. 'fixed'. After unplugging the phone and letting it bootloop few times, it finally registered a battery level that wasn't 0%. It was 96% and as such ran like normal again. That being said, I am worried about this happening again, so I hardly think this is fixed, but just leaving this here for anyone else that comes across this problem. Also would love to hear any suggestions to possible fixes. Incase this was related to the other bootloop issues that cropped up last year, I have set my phone for OEM unlocking.
Save yourself the trouble and just unlock your bootloader now.
Stock .21 firmware. Never tried any other ROMs. Battery went down to 1% last night, charged it on stock charger to 30% then moved it to a different charger. An hour after that I got a call, I hanged up and about 1 hour later I heard the phone buzzing every 30 sec or so, I looked at it and realized it's in bootloop. If I press Vol- and Power I can get it in fastboot and with Vol+ and Power in Recovery. Can't figure out what to do from there though.
Update: Pressed -+ and left it the whole day in that mode. Came home, and it booted up and looked fine for about 3 minutes then it shut down by itself. It seems to me that there's some sort of memory/storage corruption. Any suggestions on how to proceed from here?
Phone booted normally and I was able to use it for about 12 hours. I was doing a Whatsapp backup this morning when it shut down and got into the bootloop again.

If you are using stock, immediately get rid of your usb c cable and buy a new one. There could be an issue with the cable that is causing problems with your battery.
Try to keep the charge percentage between 20% and 80%
Finally, your battery stats may be off. To resolve a battery stats issue you will need to reset the phone. Which again, if you are using stock and have never used a custom rom. You should definitely do a factory reset.
Same issue on 2 different chargers with 2 different cables that used to work well until now. None of the cables are stock. One of the chargers is stock, the other one aftermarket. My wife's S3 doesn't have any issues using the same cables and chargers. Issue seems to be happening when battery is full or almost full. Phone gets into a soft reset bootloop. I let it drain yesterday and was able to get in and do a factory reset. I then added my account and left it installing and updating apps overnight, while connected to the charger. Woke up with the phone off and after pressing power for 12 sec it got into the bootloop again. As you can imagine, it's impossible to keep the battery under 80%. Would it help if I try a custom rom? Maybe a new battery? I'm open to any suggestions as I really like this phone and can't find anything similar at a reasonable price.
So phone still reboots when battery is high. I can however get into Fastboot Mode and Tool All-In-One detects it. Tried to unlock the bootloader in the tool but it failed. I'm willing to try anything to get the phone back up and running but not sure where to start. Would really appreciate some guidance.
It really sounds like the battery is bad. You can buy a new battery for $8 .
If you replace the battery : Do NOT use a hairdryer to remove the screen. You will need a heat gun, they cost 7 dollars at harbor freight.
With a heat gun the lcd screen will practically fall off into your gloved hand.
I was going to offer to connect remotely and help with unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP, Root and a Rom. But I sincerely believe that you need to get a new battery first.
