First, you can not update you device with low bettery less than 25% (and 25% is enough for completing update)
Now try to press power key for 2 minutes, and see if it boots or not.
If doesn't boot, then it's case of hardbrick, (downgraded then attempt to update it), Try blankflash guide to solve it.

Hello. Well to start off I had recently rooted my Droid2 which was running the OTA GB. So I started looking for roms like I use to with froyo and the leaked GB. Was looking for something to change the battery life frame poor to great. Anyway I came upon Cyanogenmod's Rom for Droid 2 For the ota gb. I made a nandroid back up, downloaded it and was ready to flash. Seconds away in boot recovery and while i was looking for the file before I think I hit "apply update" instead of "search for zip file on scdard(or what ever sentence it says) and i got it but it started loading an update. I was like wtf kinda freaked out and I did a battery pull . Now my phone stays at the M boot logo and i have no way to go back. I heard the SBF for GB ota isnt her yet . if anyone can help I would be grateful. Plz Help

1.Battery Pull.
2.Hold power button + hold X(doesnt work like froyo Poo)
3.Tried going back with rsdlite 5.3.1 with moto drivers(it won't show my device ;'( )

I just tried this on my friend's D2 (I am very experienced with the inc), and I seem to be having the same problem. I have tried Sbfing, but RSDlite will not recognize the phone. I have booted to recovery, nothing (Stock recovery), and the bootloader (Says too little charge)
What can I do?
Charge your battery in another phone like yours. Borrow someones spare battery. Take battery to verizon store and see if they can charge it somehow. There is a thread on here somewhere on how to do a hack job on your cable and hook the wires directly to your battery and charge it independent of the phone. I can't post a link so I hope you can find it by searching.

I've had this problem 4 times in the last week. I used a terminal based OS to SBF using ADB.
And in the same step I re rooted my phone. Whole thing takes about 15-20 minutes.
The steps are on the CMWiki.
Hello Guys,
I bricked my Milestone 2 when trying to install the update for version Android 2.3.
It appers the Google logo when the phone starts, but it shuts off by it self.
When I try the recovery mode:
I get to it, but when I select the option of wipe data and reset to factory, does it start, but shuts off in the middle of the progress.
(When does it shut, I can turn back on easy)
When I try the bootloader:
Stuck saying that battery is low Can't program.
(I left the phone charging all day and I get the same message)
I do not know what to do anymore, some of the users here, says that is the battery.
But, the battery is bad or the phone is not charging?
When I plug the charger, the light turns on.
What do you guys think?
I already see the option in use the Nandroid Recovery, but I'm nor sure how to do it...
I do not have any friend with the same phone, so I will have to buy another battery or a universal charger, that I can charge the battery with out the phone.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jeferson.
Wow, that was there so many times. For instance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344740
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363918
in the sum some facts:
- you can't charge battery in bricked milestone 2
- you MUST have some charge in battery for SBF flashing via bootloader
1) you have to charge battery
2) you have to flash SBF via RSDLite
Milestone 2 hardbrick
First I upgraded the milestone 2 kitkat then disappeared until it was trying to downgrade and there it all began. No button works x vol + vol - @ all possible combinations already tried the rsd lite does not recognize the phone, adb and fastboot also not the phone, but makes up the sbf_flash is waiting for the phone in the end, the only thing q works is the LED side of the micro usb is solid and sometimes q could use rsd she appeared sw update in progress so but after that it also could not switch on the phone. I read a lot and could not find any case equal to staff]
Please help me
God bless us all ..
Thanks Hemerson

For the past few days i had been postponing a 40mb security update that came on my Moto G4 Plus. Finally today i decided to do it and it was downloaded as usual and the phone rebooted and it started installing the update. It was all going fine but as the progression bar filled all the way through the phone black screened and has not yet booted up. When connected to a computer the white notification LED light keeps blinking continuously. Please help.

He bricked his phone and its also blinking. Did you do the same with your phone?
If your phone had been modified in any shape, then that's the result. You need to start by flashing a standard ROM in fastboot (or rdslite if fastboot mode is not working), maybe directly the last one:

The phone was fully functioning before the small official update. The bootloader is unlocked. It's running the official Android N for Moto G4 Plus. There is no custom recovery installed.

My issue is somewhat similar but whenever i connect the phone to a computer and hold the power button or any other combination for few seconds the computer recognizes the device for few seconds and then it disconnects due to unsuccessful boot.
Even a custom logo will trow a stick in the wheel.
Try to enter fast boot first. If that doesn't work, tray the RDSLite path.

I visited the local service center for Lenevov/Motorolla and they have checked the phone and come to a conclusion that the motherboard indeed has malfunctioned hence the battery power and the software isn't working properly. I've been asked to replace the motherboard. Thanks for your help.

It means that your battery is not functioning well. In case if it is not a hardware problem
Try the below step.
Plug in a charger of another phone with current output greater then 1. And then press volume down key and power key simultaneously. If the device woke up in fastboot mode then you are lucky. If this does not work leave the phone in charging for at least one and half hour. Then try the button combination again.

The guy said the battery and rest of the parts are functioning well and do not need replacement and i don't think using another charger is gonna do anything in this case. Thanks anyway.

Today same issue happen to my moto g4 plus as well after downloading security phone went for installation and never turned on after that.. anyone solved this issue or service center is the only option??

Did you downgrade or flash an older stock ROM at any point? Which update was this, and what stock firmware did you previously have on your device?
If you plug your device into your computer, is it still recognised or is it detected as a Qualcomm HS-USB 9008 or similar? If so, you may have hard bricked your device. Try this blankflash in the following link to repair your device bootloader and then flash the latest stock ROM (September 2017 patch) to fully repair your device. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761 for the blank flash, https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 for the September 2017 stock ROM.

In my case the phone didn't turn on because the motherboard died for some unknown reason while the update. I did take it to authorized service center and he told me it was the motherboard and would require replacement.
Thanks for the reply guys.. Today my phone turned on automatically.. magic and then notification came unable to install update, no changes made...phone still showing new system software available..
Hi, my Le pro 3 (x727) is stuck on the boot screen. It shows the leeco boot screen then vibrates twice and then shuts off and repeat the process. My phone was unrooted and completely stock. Is it bricked? should I try to unbrick using the methods on this forum?

Okay can you provide more info
You say that it has never been rooted and never on a custom rom?
How long did you have the phone?
Were you using the stock charger and cable?
If its just a Brick
You can follow my instructions to unbrick.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/unbrick-leeco-phones-leeco-variants-t3847220
Read several times and properly install the software and drivers on your PC,. ( I cannot stress enough that you read the instructions of the OP and the first post underneath) If your phone is bricked those instructions will repair it.
If its hardware
Unfortunately, your issue could be a bad battery. Which is no big deal they only cost $8
If you have always used stock, and the issue is hardware its probably just the battery alone and nothing worse.
If it is something worse, it could be the usb card which is $13, I doubt that you would have a more serious issue such as a fried motherboard.
Good Luck
Let me know how it goes, on the unbricking thread.

I had the phone on release date which was november 2016 i think. Yeah, I have never tried to root or install a custom rom. I am using an anker powerline+ since the original cable didnt last long, still using the original charger. I have tried both the cable and the charger on a Nintendo Switch and it seem to work fine.
I am currently downloading the files from your guide, the big one is taking too long though. Do you have any other link for
le_zl1_qfil_ufs_fix.zip?
Other observation/s:
The phone warms up when left on charge, no notification light though.
The phone's battery life was degrading which I thought was natural. Last time I check through Accubattery was at 84%.
Before the phone died, I checked the time through my phone which was 1:30 am and is less than 25% battery, woke up at 4:30 am and its dead. Phone was unplugged during that span.

It sound like the battery stats were off. Try leaving it plugged in overnight and then use this Qfil

Thanks, but i got it back alive just this morning without flashing . I left it on repair mode (vol + - power) for a whole day to drain the battery. Then once I plugged it to the charger, it was running normally again. Is there any way to reset the battery stats?

That's great news! So apparently you had built up static discharge. In the past you could resolve this issue by simply taking the battery out and reseating it.
To clear battery stats
Boot to recovery , open file manager, go to data/system the down at the bottom you wiil find the batterystats.bin delete it and then reboot to system.
I do this about twice a month.
Take care, I am glad you got it working.

Im pretty new to this, but on recovery I can only see update and recover(format). I suppose I need a tool or something. I already downloaded flash2 and qfil, are those the tools that i need?

Hey, sorry to bug you again but my phone went back to bootloop. I tried draining the battery again but this time it didnt work. I went on and flash qfil and was successful at it. The problems is, right after flasing qfil, I rebooted the phone by long pressing the power button, but it just goes back to bootloop at the leeco logo. What could be wrong?

If all else fails, you can mail the phone to me to attempt doing it for you. Read the thread.
I've been using the stock rom on my phone for years, until after one update my wifi went incredibly choppy, so I tried rooting and LineageOS but experienced lots of other issues, so I reverted to the original stock rom.
I've stuck with 6.0 for over a year, unrooted, unspoilt, but I was constantly pestered with update notifications.
I accidentally hit 'Yes, I'm in' the other day and it downloaded the update, and the pestering went next level insane.
I'd hit dismiss and 5 seconds later - DO YOU WANT TO INSTALL THE UPDATE? It would reappear a minute later.
So I finally caved and just said yes, curious whether or not my wifi would suffer, figuring it might have been a bad update that caused my wifi issues which has since been fixed.
I installed the first update, which brought me to 6.0.1 I think, and then I installed the update to 7.0.
And then my phone died completely.
The only sign of life is when I plug it into the PC, the charging light blinks, but I don't even see a battery charging screen.
The screen has stayed black since, can't reboot into any mode.
What now?

Does it vibrate or any other indication that the phone is trying to boot? Will it charge? needs to be at least 40% to recover. USB to ADB and see if the phone is recognized on a PC. Could be hard bricked ... there is one other mode that some phones use where the screen is black and the only way to talk to it is through a flashing tool. I apologize that I cannot recall the name of that mode but considering that Lenovo developed this phone it wouldnt surprise me if it was just in that mode, waiting for a boot load update of some kind. A lenovo flash program might be worth a try.
