Will not boot, powers down

Last night my battery completely drained so I charged it over night and when I went to power it on it says booting WPH go go go, boots to the HTC green logo screen and powers off. I have been running WP7 flawlessly for 3 weeks now and have not had this problem before. I don't really want to reflash right now because I'm hoping there's a way to salvage everything in the phone.

Are you sure the battery charged last night...reason I ask is...when it completely drains the battery wont charge when the phone is off due to Magldr.

Yeah, it's off the charger right now and it just keeps powering off after the HTC logo

same exact thing just happened to me. I'm going to start from scratch and redo it.

I am curious to know as to what caused this, it's very odd since the ROM has been working flawlessly.

your not restarting with usb cable attached are you?
how did you charge your battery? external charger?
there is some talk that charging in magldr usb flasher mode works dispite no status lights BUT its unclear if the battery controller will auto cut off when full, overcharging could shag your battery
oh a while back i had some odd restart issue too, pretty much as you have mentioned, happened 4 times in a row then worked

Help me too!!!
Me as well, about an hour ago, my battery drained, so I plugged it in, and the phone keeps restarting, but then powers off...
I've kept it on the AC for the past hour, and now it no longer hit's the magldr, it just flashes the screen black, then dies...
Is there a way to JUST CHARGE my battery? Without having it in the phone?

too bad you didnt seach for this issue, i wrote a nice piece that would have got you out of that mess if you hadnt kept restarting it, oh well never mind,
if you cant even get to magldr then your looking at an external charger, you could try connecting up an old usb cable directly to the battery but be very careful!

This happened to my old HD2 after I gave it to my sister once I got my HD7, to enable it to charge again all I did was remove cable, remove battery. Re-insert battery and attach cable, hold down the volume down button on the side of the handset and press the power button.
The phone will turn on and show the tri-color screen. Leave it on this screen for 20 minutes and the battery will charge, then simply reboot and you will be able to boot back in to Windows Phone 7.

Thanks for that tip...I am going to remember it in-case I one day run into the same problem

is it a brick?

Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, all stock, no custom roms, no rooting. With battery at approximately 15% phone died. First thought: battery dead. But phone not charging at all. Current problem: Sim+SD removed, insert battery, phone shows logo for 1 second, then dies, tried rebooting but nothing happens. Battery removed, after inserting WITHOUT pressing power button the same: logo 1 second and dies. Battery removed again, insert tried entering recovery mode, phone shows logo and blue letters "recovery booting" but after 1 second dies. When connecting charger nothing at all happens, no power up no logo nothing. Any thoughts? Searched forum but found no solution.

Sounds to me like the battery is completely dead. Try leaving it on the charger for a while? Try another battery?

It's the power button. It's stuck, that's why the phone turns off after 1 second and why it turns on when plugging it in.
Try to wiggle the button unstuck. You can soflty hit it with your finger.
If all else fails take it to have it checked and repaired. But I'm 90% sure it is the button. Had a similar problem on another S4.

Tried another battery. Nothing. When connected to charger also no red light to indicate charging of the battery. And no booting when charger connected.

if you have a multimeter, you could test the board connections on the power button.

1st. replace the battery.
Also not boot......??
Then Flash bootloader and fresh Firmware
Good Luck??

Had the same issue on omni, flashed other rom at around 20 % to not run into this situation.
Try reconnecting power a few times, maybe you can put enough juice into the battery to boot right into twrp - that's where it might charge - did for others - and where you have to go anyway for a new rom.

I had a similar situation on the stock rom. I had battery but the phone shut down and wouldn't start. When I plugged the phone in it didn't show a charging light. I left the phone plugged in for a few minutes then simply held the power button for about a minute and it eventually booted. Good luck

hii,

Try to plug the power cable then firmly push (hold) the power button for 2 minutes. Sometimes this way the stucked phone turns on... Good luck!

Galaxy S8 Won't Charge

I have Galaxy S8, my problem is I flashed a custom ROM, and it's bricked (stuck at boot logo). I still charged my phone, and suddenly it turned off, I realized that since then my phone aren't charged. A black power logo (charging screen?) now comes up but the LED indicator for charging is not turned on while I connect my phone to charger. What I have tried:
1. Using original cable and charger. Using another cable and charger does not work too!
2. Connect it to my laptop. Does not work.
3. Use different electric socket (2-3 sockets). Still no luck.
4. Power. Not work.
5. Power + Vol Down. The device is turned off, but then the charging screen comes up again, still, I cannot power on my device.
6. Power + Vol Up + Bixby. Not work.
Is there any suggestion what should I do now? Please don't tell me it's a hardbrick. :crying::crying::crying:

Hi; try to change your charger. For me it's that the problem.

Could be that it's deeply discharged. Had that problem with my HTC one m7. I let it charge for a day and that did the job pretty well. After that, I could charge normal again.

I would try HOLDING the Volume Down + Power for at least 7 seconds.
Supposedly, this simulates pulling the battery, and gives you a few options, including rebooting or factory resetting. If you're thinking you're bricked, a factory reset might be best. Good luck.

S7 EDGE Won't boot up

SOLVED
Apparently I had to let it charge for a whole hour, seems like it was completely drained somehow or something. Close the thread please.
Guys yesterday night my phone had 20% battery, in the morning it must have ran out of battery. But when I tried turning it on it wouldn't. I connected it to the charger it showed the chargin screen but without percentage. Tried turning it on but it still would not.
Tried booting in bootloader mode which it did. But after I restarted it, it stopped charging too.
So right now my phone wont boot up from power menu.
It wont boot to recovery using vol up + home + power
It wont boot to bootloader using vol down + home + power.
And when I plug it to the charger it wont show any signs of charging, no led no charge screen. nothing.
Help me android gurus.
(It's the international version with the exynos rooted)

Try With Different Charger (preferable 2 amp)
