[Q] MB526 won't charge via USB, white LED on

I flashed my Defy with a custom ROM months ago and never had a problem. I left my phone for a few days and it's completely drained of its battery. I try to charge it using my USB cable connected to my PC, but the Defy doesn't show the animation where the battery is shown being charged; just the white LED and a black screen. When I hit the power button, it shows "bootloader 09.10, battery low cannot program". I know I flashed my phone correctly and have no idea why this screen is being shown. I didn't try to charge via wall outlet, I'm currently on vacation and only brought the USB cable with me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: My phone is a regular MB525, flashed with with a custom Gingerbread that was posted in this very forum. On my PC the model reads MB526...
Once battery is fully drained occassionally Defy takes time to even boot up. So leave it in that state (Connected to USB ) for couple of hours and try again.
Tried and didn't work, I'm hoping plugging into the AC charger will fix this...though that won't be happening for another week..
Have you the possibility to try the battery in another defy or to use another battery?
Not until about a week..
Don't worry, your Defy will get charged when connected to wall plug.
Mine was the same situation as it won't charge on total empty battery over USB port.
But it charging normally as soon as I plug it to wall charger.
just make sure you don't flash it with any SBF!
OP! i had exact same problem and it snowballed into something huge. It started same as you did, my fone ran out of juice as I was in my office and I couldn't get USB port to charge it, all I had was white LED and black screen in my office. So, at home i plugged it into wall charger for 5 or more hours and I still couldn't see the battery that shows its charging, I tried a different wall charger and still same results.
Then my phone begin to atleast fired up in wall charger but got stuck in Moto M logo. I could only access bootloader and not the Boot recovery for some reason. I been stuck here since, my battery was fully charged externally and yet nothing, I even tried every combo (SIM in, SIM out, SD Card in, SD Card Out) etc but I couldn't get into boot recovery so I could just hard reset my Defy. I could only access the bootloader.
At that point I flashed by Defy with 2.1 SBF's like 7 of them with same results, no matter what SBF file I successfully flashed with I could for the life of me get into boot recovery.
Now, i am just sick and tired and hate Defy because its effed up. I am taking it to the shop i purchased it from tomorrow.
i guess im having almost the same problem.
my defy doesnt boot, only shows the white LED.
it is recognised by the RSD, but nothing happens.
cant boot, doesnt show anything on the screen.
what should I do?
macgyver is not working either
I had a similar issue and I used the macgyver trick and flashed a new sbf. The rom you are using possibly doesn't support charging in the off state.
Sent from my CM9 Defy
as a total android/motorola user
and i appear to be having the same issue, bootloader only!!
Could i ask what and where is the official unmodified rom for this phone.
Thank you.

I am somewhat pleased to report that a mains powered charger seems to be charging the phone...
Did the mains powered battery charger solved your problem?
I have to fix my girlfriend phone that seems to have the same issue.
Could you post the model or a link to the model of battery charger you have used?

Thank you for your help.
Unfortunately that solution didn't fix the battery problem... and also the McGyver method didn't work.
I'm afraid that my girlfriend will need a new battery.
She was using an aged MIUI rom (more or less six months old). After the battery replacement should I have to flash the stock Froyo CEE rom via RSD or do you think that the will works again?
Did u fixed the problem ? How ?
I`m in same posture...
I'm still in the same situation. The battery is on stuck at 5%, even if I change the one I own with another one. I can't flash via RSD and I don't know how to fix this problem.

Are you SURE the macgyver hack was done right? Did you use a usb port of a powered usb hub????
Sorry to ask but getting the wires to hold in place was difficult and if the usb port cant provide enough power then the macgyver hack wont work IME....

Sorry for the delay, buddy, I tried a different times and I asked also to another friend to try, as double control, but it didn't work.
Actually I send the phone to the assistance center... and I'm keeping my finger crossed.

Damn, that's a shame...Hopefully its just a corrupt rom, the new boot loader is brick-proof I believe.
I rooted mine after upgrading and its a cracking little android phone...Actually, it doesn't get used as a phone, but a portable computer/gps.

[Q] evo charge issue

my evo will not stop charging when disconnected from charger and wont connect to comp pleas help need to fix asap
What Rom are you running ? What Recovery are you using ? What Kernel are you using ? You said it will not connect to the computer. Have you Updated HTC Sync ?
Not charging while phone is on..
Hi guys,
I am facing a very unique issue(basically i didnt find any thread which had the same problem as mine). My Evo does not charge while the phone is switched on nor can i connect it to my comp from the recovery after i mount it in usb mode. It charges properly while it is powered off. I have tried installing jellybread & mokeeos roms with tiamat kernel but they go into boot loop.
It is really inconvenient since i have to switch off the phone for it to charge. Please help.
The details of the system are below:
RoM: rooted stock rom from xda thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Evo/ROMs)
the kernel is also stock
I am using Amon Ra recovery 3.11
Please do help me out with this.
I figure its a software problem since it is charging properly when switched off.
Are you Full Root "S-off" ? Have you tried using a different charger / cable combo ?

evo charge issues
Yes, My phone is fully rooted and s-off.
also i have tried using several charger, cable combos.
When it is in fastboot, i can flash files, threre is not problem there, but when I turn on USB mode in the recovery, it does not detect on the computer.
Also It charges when off, but does not when fully switched on. 1 thing that i now noticed was that sometimes, it starts charging when switched on, and then stops after 1 minute or so.
Also the battery drains extremely quickly now. This was not the case before this happened.
It would be great if you could help me out here,

Sounds like a bad battery or bad charging port... cheapest way to test is to buy a battery from ebay or something. See what happens. If the same problem persists its a hardware issue with the port itself (which I think it is from the sounds of it). Or you can unroot it, load a stock Sense rom and go to a Sprint store to have them look at it.
You can also try cleaning the Charger port itself out. I've issues in the past with charger ports getting dirty, which causes a bad connection. But I would still defiantly try a different Battery.
thanks guys, will clean the port and also try a new battery...
will get back once i have done these...

Phone Just Died

So earlier this week, I was using my phone with Google Maps like usual. I plugged in my vehicle USB port to the phone to save battery. I had +50% on the phone and 1A USB port. So after like 5 minutes of it being plugged in, my phone just turned off. I tried turning it back on and all I get is the boot screen, then AXON shows, and puff... Phone off again. I tried booting into recovery but phone turns off before TWRP finishes loading. Phone doesn't seem to be charging. Tried different cables and charger to charge phone but nothing. No charge light. Seems like battery is dead because the phone turns off during boot and battery not charging.
Nothing seems shorted. Phone been working great for weeks before this. BL unlocked, Debloated stock, TWRP. Any ideas other than sending back for warranty? Luckily I still have my S7 as primary but I had my Axon for primary for my trip for real world daily use. Needles to say, photos and videos are wanted off the phone.

Have you tried going to bootloader mode by holding power and volume down
If the battery has died, then the phone wouldn't turn on is my thinking as everyone you then it on it eats some vattwry
You didn't mention specifically, but have you tried using the factory wall charger & cable and leave charge for like an hour?

Original charger but with certified Micro-b/USB-C cable I've been using for weeks between my S7 and the Axon.
So I left the phone alone for the last few days as I was busy at work and Just didn't feel like messing with it when I got home. I tried to turn the phone on but battery was dead. The quick flash of red led was the indicator trying to power it up. So I used my Samsung charger as it was right there and the original ZTE cable. Phone lights up charging and so I left it as is to go to work. I get home, the green led is lit, so I'm hoping my phone will power up now. Nope, right back to my original issue. Power on phone, gets to Axon logo then eventually turns off or goes black screen. I tried booting into recovery but turns off before fully loading. I try to charge phone again but no led indicator.
So later today, I'm going to try to boot into fastboot and try the new TWRP recovery. Maybe it was enabling r/w on system that caused this. I had downgraded to unlock bootloader and then installed ZADmix. I've been usuing it nonstop for 2 weeks with no issues. I have xposed installed so I know rebooted a few times to get everything working and it never turned off since then.
Really frustrating as that's the phone that had my pictures on it.
Hi @RoninBlackSoul, so what did you end up do ? Have you found any way to bring back the Axon from the dead or sent it back to ZTE for repair / replacement ? Same thing just happened to me, and for me Axon 7 is my primary phone ... if the phone is really dead ... will neve buy another ZTE phone ever !!!

Honestly not sure what did it. After battery drained, plugged it in to charge for 2 or 3 days. Then remembered some note about enabling write access in TWRP (something like that) would cause bootloops. Which is weird, rebooted the phone a few times when it was working.
Any case, I reflahed the recovery/bootstack in EDL and got my phone back. Been working great 5 months now

@RoninBlackSoul, thanks for the feedback.
Got mine working also, my phone was not charging at all. After suddenly rebooting and battery went dead fast, phone was not able to charge for about two days. After which, suddenly started working again, was able to charge and works normally now. This is weird. From my point of view this could be: 1. some sort of auto-protection perhaps or 2. an actual hardware design issue that manifests at random (for some after few weeks or months after purchase). For the 1 point: I was using a non original cable using the original charger, and the USB type c plug was hot at the time the issue occurred. Perhaps due to that heat some protection mechanism manifested that got reset after phone was completely out of juice. Will use only original cable with the Original Fast Charger from now on, as the usb-c plug of the 3rd party cable was fine with a normal charger (non QC3). Hope issue will not manifest again or, Axon 7 will be my last ZTE device ...

Mi Note 2 Not Charging Properly

My mi note 2 isn't fast charging/charging properly. I bought it new and I've only been using it a couple of days. The first day the phone charged normally, both through quickcharge and regular charging. It drained to about 25% yesterday so I plugged it in whilst I used it, but noticed the percentage was going down even with the charger plugged in. Its now taking around 7 hours to charge fully. I have checked the charger cable, adapter and tried several different ones but I am still having the same problem. I've only had the phone a couple of days so I don't understand why the first charge would work but then the battery is struggling to charge after that.
I'm using miui 8.5.5.0 global stable version and haven't unlocked or installed any custom roms.
Can anyone help?
Your charging port must be dameged bro ,go to aliexpress and find ur phone parts there for cheep get it and install it if u dont know what you are doing take the part to the professionals and ask them to install it , or u cant also ship back the phone tonthe seller and ask him to refund or replacement (tho this is a much costlier affair which i dont recommend you)
P.s lets hope all gets sorted out soon and feel better about the purchase of this beautiful device
Cheers
Is there a way to check if it is the charging port before I go down this route?

Did the phone came with that OS version already installed?
When you plug it in, the lightning icon that's next to the battery icon has a circle around it?
Did you tried a factory reset?

You charge with the original cable and charger , right?
If yes, try doing a factory reset or reflash using MiFlash.

Yes using the supplied cable and charger. I'll try a factory reset at the weekend when I have time to set up the phone again. Hopefully this will sort it as I'm not sure what else to do ?

Weird Charging Problem

Hi there guys

Actually from 1 week facing a weird issue with my device.
1 week ago my battery was down to 0% and then the device got switched OFF(probably dead).
So i got it jump start from a local shop. After that my device only take charge when i restart the device and put the charger when while the device is starting. And again if I plug out and plug in the charger it won't take a charge.
The device doesn't charge even in recovery mode. Everytime to charge the device i have to restart.
Please help me and suggest some solution for this.
Note : when the device faced this issue i was on DOT OS with stock kernel
I'm using the fk smart buy charger that i bought 1 week back

I was facing the same issue and tried lots of things to correct that but what actually worked was flashing a stable or beta miui official rom only.. now it works all as new and battry performance is also improved.
