[Q] kindle doesnt have enough power to boot

I'm using the factory charger but I have twrp.when I boot it it shows the triange then shuts down then back up in a loop, what should I do.I had the charger plugged in then the kf just died
Please help

I am seeing more and more of these threads of the kindle "not charging" after TWRP is installed. I am wondering if it's user error or something deeper.
I would let it charge for a bit and see what happens. Also press the power button a few times when you turn it on until the light turns orange. If it does turn orange and boots into TWRP then you know at least the kindle is not "bricked" and you can restore a backup.

Thanks but it won't charge at all I know its not charging because when it turns on a little later it shuts back down,then it boots up and shuts down even faster than last time.

Have you try to press and hold the Power button for more than 30 seconds?

I think I need to take the battery out and charge it separately,but how would I charge it once its out?I need help.

Yes it just turns on then off

Have you try this:

If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution
If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.

I have also used TWRP with Energy CM9 Kang ROM. In generally it is okay with a few non-major issues.

mad at myself
I am so mad right now...I got it working by making a charger that is one volt stronger.It booted up, but then i was going to take a picture of it to put on xda and when i plugged my charger in the seond time, the device shut down.NOW WHEN I CONNECT A CHARGER TO IT IT WONT EVEN TRY TO TURN ON,BUT IF I CLICK THE BUTTON IT TURNS ON FOR 2 SECONDS THEN TURNS OFF. I am so mad:

i assume you meant Ampere not Volt ?
usb charger has 5V - if build one with 6V (don't know how) - you will damage the device !
it should have ~2A - let it on the strong charger over night

I'm pretty sure that will work, if you can get that far. Otherwise (assuming you've already opened it) unplug the battery cable, start the fastboot command, plug in USB, then when (if? not sure it'll work) fastboot completes plug in the battery.
Changing the charging voltage won't help because the charge controller has a built in regulator. IIRC it will take something >12V, but there are probably other things on the USB V+ that might get fried at those levels.
I do remember from the tiny bit of battery charger documentation I'd seen that the Fire's charge controller does not have the flat battery recover feature, that is, provide a trickle charge by default if the battery is too low to power up the CPU. Which is flat out stupid on a consumer product.

Nexus 7 Black Screen

Today I picked up may Nexus 7 and noticed it will not turn on. I let it charge for an hour or so, but then when I tried to start it up, I saw just a black screen. The screen turns on (backlight turns on), but still just a black screen. I read something on the internet about pressing the power button for a full 30 seconds, so I tried that. This time, I got it to flash (for a fraction of a second) the word "Google", and then it was back to the black screen of nothing.
I've never rooted, never tried to do anything fancy with it. I've factory resetted it once after an update to the OS happened.
Is there anything I can do?

You sure it gets juice? Does your charger feel hot after charging some time?
I had this to once, but got it fixed by holding the power button...

Sounds like a charging /battery issue if the 30 sec power didnt work.Did you try a different charger?
Some people have reported weird issues like this that have been rectified by a prolonged charging.

Thanks
It acted strange, but it came back from the dead:
It said "google" for 10 seconds, then a few seconds of black screen, then another 10 seconds of "google", then it booted just enough to tell me that it was going to shut down because of low battery. I let it charge another hour and then it was fine!

Quirky little buggers aren't they? Mine did it once and not since.

I just goy my N7 today, plugged in the wall charger, and I'm stuck at black screen, I did the 30 secs hold power button but it's still and black screen. Also I tried this:
1. Plug-in your dead N7 to a wall charger. (Jump immediately to step 2.)
2. Immediately after plugging it in, press Volume Down and Power at the same time.
3. Once in the bootloader menu, use Volume Down until you see “Power Off Device.”
4. Choose that option with the Power button.
5. Once your device is off, unplug the charger and then plug it back into the device.
Still at black screen, any advice???
I'm sorry for posting in this old thread.

I just solved this, I opened my N7 to check the battery and it turns out it wasn't correctly connected... Just unplugged it and plug in again correctly to make it work!

Boom!
I was having the same problem. Plugged it into a power source, backlight would come on with a black screen. Got it to show the Google splash screen a few times, but it just wouldn't boot. Tried ADB, but it wouldn't even acknowledge the thing was connected to the PC. I tried a pile of stuffs. Then I read this post. I never thought to check if the thing was actually connected, it wasn't!
Fully functional device now. Thanks for the idea! :good:

[Q] nexus 7 battery issues

Hello everyone,
First of all my problem. My nexus 7 is dead . the battery got too low as the charger was busted and it switched off and now its not turning on. I got the OEM nexus USB cable, OEM charger and have followed almost all the troubleshooting tips on this forum and elsewhere.
Now I dont know if the problem lies in the charging point or the battery.
My question to anyone who has the idea is that, IF i charge the battery in another Nexus 7, or with an external charger, will it work?
I want to fix this( i am in Nepal) and there is no way I can get a warranty in this. So I am in DIY mode
If the battery is dead and I cant boot into the bootloader anymore, is the above idea a possibility?
Thank you

Does it do anything when you first plug it in to charge?
As in does it start to show the charging screen and power off immediately? Does it start to boot then turn off?
Was having an issue with my wife's n7 where she let it discharge all the way to dead and would not take a charge or turn back on.
There is a trick you may be able to save it without doing much at all.
Plug it in to a wall charger and immediately, or as quickly as you can, hold power and volume down to try and get into recovery mode or bootloader. Needs to be almost instant.
If you can get into recovery or bootloader select power down (in bootloader use volume keys to navigate, power button to select).
Unplug the power cord and plug it right back in. You should hopefully see the charging battery screen.
Hope this helps.

I have already tried the above method. The good news is I went to a repair shop and asked them to charge the battery externally. My nexus did start. But it seems like I damaged the USB port somehow, so it is either a POGO pin charger or have to get the port frm smwhere..hmmm

Phone won't boot up after running out of battery

I'm running Omni rom with eas kernel and just yesterday my phone ran out of battery, and now I can't turn it on at all. At first when I held the power button, the phone would vibrate after about 15 seconds but it wouldn't do anything. Now it doesn't vibrate or show any signs of life at all; no charging led no nothing. If anyone knows a way to get into recovery or fastboot that would be enough for me to flash a new rom but I can't even get it to fastboot or recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

What happens when you have the charger plugged in? Is it stock charging cable and brick? Have you tried checking what happens when you plug into a computer? If it is the stock cable check the end of the cable (phone side plug) to make sure there are no burns.
You can try holding the volume-down + power.

It has been charging for hours on the stock cable and brick. There are no signs of burns anywhere, plugging it into the computer doesn't change anything either. The computer doesn't detect that it is even plugged in.

Ran out of battery? Like 1% was left? That's no good. You're never supposed to let a lithium-ion battery get that low. You might have to replace the battery. Just keep attempting to charge it and boot it up again, use different outlets, different cables and adapters, etc. This is a common issue--people are stupid and just let their phones die instead of being vigilant about charging them. And there's plenty of stories about and advice for Android phones that won't turn on after being completely drained of battery life. Google is here to help you.
Did you try what slgooding suggested?

I tried holding down the power and volume down button. I usually don't let my phone die but I went camping and left my phone in my car and I forgot to power it off I guess. Still I've never heard of this happening to anyone else.

This is a real bummer. I would suggest trying another power brick and cable. That may be your best bet. See if it has any indication it is charging.

Try a different cable to charge and press and hold that power button till it boots(2,3, 5min...) it happened to me the other day... I love my LP3 keeps me entertained...lol

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

It actually happened just now. I charged from 38% to 95% I disconnected non-QC charger and went into AccuBattery app looked at the stats and the phone just shut down... Now I can't turn it on. Nothing happens.
I was on the latest AICP ROM
EDIT: I hold down the power button and connected the phone to PC, it turned on to LEECO screen and now red LED is blinking.

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%.
