I had same problem with battery. After going below 5% it got into something like "charge loop", so I asked my friend to lend me his universal charger and then I bought the one I linked you, just in any case if that happen again.

try just leaving the phone in the wall charger, should be good enoght to load the bootloader after one hour.

When the phone goes full-retard mode*, it charges and then auto-boots and drains faster than it charges. It's the damnedest thing when it happens. You can't keep it from booting when it's decided it wants to so you have to sit there and yank the battery every time it starts trying to boot.
*Motorola has a patent pending on full-retard mode. Google needs it to fend off Apple.

LOL OMFG thats a good one man

um, youd prolly be better off just charging it up, booting into bootloader and reflashing the sbf appropriate for you

I already did that....its just showing a kid peeing on the motorola logo then bootloop again...

Had s similar problem (blackscreen while usage, then stuck on bootloop even after flashing stock SFBs) .. i fixed it by doing .. nothing. Just leaving the battery out of the phone a few days (one night was not enough!)

Ok! I got into the bootloader! But it said "battery low cannot program' but i charged almost 8 hours! With the buttons with light everytime i plug in the wall charger!

u have really activated the retard mode*, meaning the phone will boot up while charging and the bootloop is sucking the battery dry.
2 Solutions: Pull the battery, everytime the phone boots. I did that for 1-2 hours and it was not enough ....
2nd solution: buy an external battery charger

If you can get it to the point of Calvin Pissing and then boot loop, then the problem could be just that you need to Wipe Dalvik and cache partions and reset.
But I see now the problem is that you don't have enough juice. Try turning the phone off completely and then pull battery for a 15 mins or so. Then put battery in and plug in but do not turn it on. A battery icon will appear with charge amount. See it if goes up or down after about an hour. Think that if you can get it to 30-40% it should be enough to boot up and then wipe.
50% is the usual base amount for sbf flashing though, so might want to wait for that. If you haven't already flashed the SBF and have a working ROM in there already, stay on it and try the above. Would hate for you to wipe everything, including OR and Root, if it is only a charge issue and not the ROM itself. Check cords and plugs too.

thanks mate!! but im here in SAUDI ARABIA i have different card (

I've never had to resort to this yet, but:

This phone is just really, really, unbelievably stupid sometimes. If it thinks it's supposed to boot with minimal power, the only way to stop it is to do a proper shutdown (requires you boot successfully first or get into adb and run "reboot -p") or yank and replace the battery--that usually gives you about 15min before it will try to boot again. I used to just constantly wait and yank the battery whenever it started to boot. I got tired of that and got a second battery and wall charger pretty cheap online ($5 total, genuine Motorola). The bottom four leds on with a black screen is a tell-tale sign of full-retard mode.

are there any solutions? i cant do this myself ..... but thanks man for your help!

I did this once
It work fine
You just connect 2 of the 4 wire in an usb cable (you have to sacrifice a cable)
I gonna search a little more you have better pics with a droid i think
but you have to remove the battery. i don t know if you have too but it s less dangerous (the battery can t explode) and it s much more easy to connect the wires

I did this:

}
You just connect the red to the + and the black to the - You do your Macgiver so that don t move (i use scotchtape but you can see he is using wire...)
Really easy (more than it s look like)
I just don t touch the phone during the whole flash progress
But i read that you can charge the battery directly by connecting the wire on it (the same red + black -) you charge it during 30minutes and you have enough to flash
You can see it in the pic in the bottom left
But I don t test this trick i recommend to use the first one...

And do worry it can be scarry but you can make it (Ok really really scarry but it would be fine...)
I did it with out a problem and i never do any electronic stuff or anything like this
Just take your time to stick the wire and let it like this don t try to return it (anyway you will see in rsdlite if it boot or not)

i did it man! i did it! thank you very much! you are an expert! i followed your instructions and it worked! thank you very much!

Battery dying !!!

I have a lot of battery issues lately... For info I have my xt720 for 1year and 3mouth i buy right after motorola release it
So if that can help someone...:
This is my first post with my first battery "blackout"...
My phone is dead !!!!
i don t know what to do!
It don t want to charge anymore
This morning i notice it wasn t fully charge after going out but i came back before it die so I plug it i had about 10% left
5min after it make me some no battery alarm ( 3 or 4) like if the phone was not plug anymore i replug it. it works but without moving it it stop charging
It reboot but with 5% battery and die
Now i can t boot anymore
Sometimes my led light but it never boot...
I hope it s only my usb cable or my electric plug that is causing it but i don t think so since i don t touch it when it stop charging...
I don t know what to do!!
It was my only phone...
The next day:
My phone come back to life after one night without battery...
Don t ask me why but this morning it charges like always....
I think its a motorola ota update... loool it s time to change !!!
The evening of the same day i plug it as always (it works well all the day) and not any problem
but this morning (the next day morning) my phone was out (black screen and not any reaction when power on or when pluging it...)
I remove the battery about 10minutes then i plug it and it works (it take about 1hour to start but the battery was totally empty so this is normal)
I m not sure what i m going to do right now...
I think the battery is the problem but i can t be totally sure.....
I hope the nexus prime will be release soon and worldwide...
I m going to try the new Mz CM7 and a battery calibration but i don t believe......

(If you remember the sellor......)
So I remember this from another thread yesterday and I had a similar problem. However my wifes is a bit different. Riddle me this. Her USB port is either not reading or not connecting. I checked her pins and plugged in my phone (works fines). I even went to /system/app/usb.apk and reinstalled. I even jiggled it softly, then wildly and then softly again to no avail.
Any ideas? We can take it in to CBW but man I hate that place with a passion. Would love for it to be something I can fix myself. At this point, i have to charge her battery in my phone and then swap them out until she either gets it fixed or replace the whole damn phone. I spent most of the night backing up her stuff last night (for some reason cannot do a nandroid of /system, data, cdrom, cache, cust or ext. Not sure what is the problem with that. She has 2.1 with app2sd script (much like ESB only not app2ext but rather app2sd)
This has happened to me a few times and freaked me out a little. Rebooting the computer (not the phone) worked, though. I think the USB stack on the desktops/laptops must get confused sometimes. It was even phone specific. One phone would work and the other wouldn't. After reboot both worked again. I feel myself becoming more and more superstitious.

Only other idea I have is swapping batteries to see if there's a chance the problem is there... that sucks. Sounds like what happenesld to HM.
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using xda premium
Did that. Actually swap hers into my phone to charge it up and then put mine back. Sucks b/c she is a stay at home mom, so she needs her phone. Seems to me to be a hardware issue. Maybe something connecting the usb port to the phone. Short or bad wire or something like that. She's going to CBW to day to do battle.
if it's really a USB port problem, or lose contacts in the USB of the phone
you can always charge it with an external charger

Our carrier replaced it with a Nexus S, so I might be hitting you up for some suggestions. Easye420 mentioned that you turned him on to some things over there. I'll root it and unlock the bootloader tonight and check it out, then probably PM you.
The problem with ebay and all the internet sellors is that i will have to wait for 2 or 3 weeks to get it....
I will have to quickly go to Paris during the lunchtime (i hope i will find one)
For the info last news of my dying battery...
Now it can t boot with out being plug....
But when it s on then the battery always stay at 0%(I never see the 0 before my battery issue) even after 3 or 4 hours of charge
but a little bit fun when i plug it i have the battery charging animation and it show me that my battery is fully charged...
The end of the story...
I just get my new battery (a standard motorola the same as the stock) (cheap and very fast to get if there is someone having battery problem on Paris... let me know by pm)
and I think everything is coming back to normal...
I m not sure yet cause the battery% is acting weird but i think it s the calibration
When i first plug it it show me 50% after a boot it shows 0% but it was charging...
After another reboot it was at 90%....
My moto is making fun of me!!!
But i think everything will come back to normal after a full charge and discharge...
I will let you know

So you change it???
Did you make it work with charged battery???
I changed my battery and my phone don t boot anymore again
The first day i changed the battery it worked well i fully charge it and to calibrate it well i fully discharged it (until the phone shut down)
But now it don t want to charge again!!
When i plug it was booting at the beginning but after the boot it show 0% of battery and shut down after 10seconds
I test it 4 or 5 times and now it don t boot anymore
When i plug it sometimes it show me the animation with 50% of battery but it never move and shut down after max 5minutes (and now even this never happened)
I was asking myself about buying a battery charger like you say allgamer but i m not sure if that will work or if it s really broken
Now it don t have any reaction no matter what i try........
I don t know what to do i was waiting for the nexus prime but it will not shown up until at least 2 mouth (maybe more in France)
I think i read one time a guy who connect the power wire of an usb cable directly on the battery to charge it... It was a milestone battery i think (but its the same for the xt720)
Someone know something about that???
I m trying to recharg it only by connecting the wire to the battery...
We ll see... I don t have other solution for the moment (I try it before buying a battery charger)
I did this (bottom left)

After 1hour of "this way" charging
It seems to have charge but just a little (even if i plug it to the charger and not to usb. It is a lot faster when charging the phone)
I can boot it but it still don t charge (i was hoping it will charge again after the battery get a little more juice)
I have plug it another time i will let it charge for 3 or 4 hour it should let me boot and use it a little more i hope....
I had the same battery problem.
I did the same trick to boot up to flashing mode, and flash back to stock sbf.
After that, battery manage to recharge.

Mine don t want to....
I charge it for 3 or 4 hours and it boot without a problem (even if it show 0% battery again) I was able to go to bootloader or recovery but that s not my problem i just need to charge it and it don t want....
I think i m gonna buy a external battery charger. But that sucks it s about 50€ (i already spent 20€ for a battery...) and i m not sure that it will work...
What ROM do you have installed? I think some on the recent CM7's replace the charge_only_mode with a reverse-engineered non-motorola one.

I m backing up my old 6.3 right now...
edit i hope you re right but it don t want to charge even when in the system... I mean after the boot i can play a little bit before the system shutdown and it don t charge even when it s power on...
It s still booting (i hope i m not in a bootloop i don t have the battery for...)
edit 2: the battery last enough to boot but it s the same...
Im gonna buy an external battery charger tomorrow.... I don t have any other choice...

HTC Sensation won't turn on!

Hy! I have a HTC Sensation that won't turn on. The phone is stock, was never rooted. It has 4.0.3 original update. So this happened like this: i had 1% battery left. The phone turned off. I turned the phone on, tried to make a call and the phone just died. I plug the charger and nothing. The orange light is off. I have tried everything, but the phone is dead. I have searched on google about this and it seems like a general problem but no one knows how to fix it. What do you think ?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

Hi,
Try taking out the sim card and the sd card.
Plug the phone into the wall ,and leave it for 5-6 hours.
This is normal
Just plug the phone back on the charger for about 30 minutes and the phone will come to life again.
Best of Luck

I have just pluget the phone into the wall. Hope it will work.
Anyway...I have read another post here and one dude was saying about "instant death syndrome" . Is that possible? I don't really belive that the phone can break just like that.
It hit into charge mode when the battery is detected again.just the battery out of juice,no big worries
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yes. It has happened before exactly like that... strange I know. I've had this happen to me but was able to fix it. Here is my story. I had about 60%battery left when I plugged it into the charger. When I went to check on phone it was completely dead!! I had no charging lights anything! I happened to have another battery so I popped in the other battery and the phone sprang back to life! Very strange because it was a new battery inside my phone! You might want to give a new battery a try and see if it helps. As for the "instant death" the guy was talking about, what happens is that certain batteries have a trigger that if ran down too low they shut down and only special chargers can bring them to life again. I've read this my self you can google it. Now if that has an effect on our phone, I don't know but I've read numerous stories like yours and now I'm afraid to run my battery completely down in fear it will do this to my device. I hope you get your device working again. Do try another battery, it worked in my case. Best wishes
The battery is only 3 months old. When I bought the phone (from someone, not new) the old battery was trash. The new one is original, just like the old one. Is the first time it does that, never had problems with the new battery. After the phone died, i've checked the battery and had verry little power. I've tooked the battery out of the phone and charge it enough to turn on the phone, but it did not. Now the phone is pluget in the wall, as suggested. The orange light is off. Is like the phone is bricked and I really can't understand why. I had a Samsung Galaxy i9000, run out of battery, but as soon as I connected the charger turned on. Same with Galaxy i9100.
Keep the phone plugged in for atleast 1 hour and see if it starts to charge...
If it doesn't, you might want to try an external battery charger like this one....

I have allready tried that. The phone is still dead. Any more ideas ?
Use ur battery off all the way (til it shuts down) then remove ur battery n press the power button without the battery inna cell phone; like as if u were trying to turn ur phone on ordinarily. Then let da phone stay still over a night, or at least 5hourz WITHOUT THE BATTERY IN IT. Then re-insert the battery n plug the charger n see wah happenz.
Hope it's gonna work

URGENT- Charged phone, afterwards no longer turns on

At&t MB865

Numa on system 1
Had battery issues so I drained it completely, and charged it to 100%
Will not boot, recovery, fastboot, nothing. no LED's light up, no buttons light up.
Only reaction is white LED flashes w/o battery in while plugged into wall.
and steady white LED when plugged into computer.
Is it really dead, after I did nothing?
I sorry friend ... but from what i have been reading .. i think your phone might be hard bricked
Someone please tell me how charging a phone can brick it. Im biting my tongue not going off on Motorola's BS crappy ass phones right now.
Please any insight would be great while I shop for a new phone.
Screw it. atrix bricked. Hated that phone anyways.
Bye Bye Motorola. You've lost a customer for life.
Hello HTC One S for 100 bucks.
Good luck guys.
if anyone needs a parts phone let me know.
I guess the battery is dead. Your phone is not hard bricked.

So, what happened between the time it charged to the time when I shut off and wouldn't reboot?
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

nothing, I pulled it off the charger, and immediately tried to turn it on. didnt work. then I started my diagnosing, by attempting to get into bootloader, connect to computer, wall, pull battery and attempt those again, and then I got white light.

Oh, I see. So you charged it while the phone was off then. That is weird. I've never heard of that before. I wonder if the battery is bad.

Yea, charged while off. started at 0%, checked about hour later was around 30%, another hour at 90, little later checked was at 100%. Pulled off and then the issue came.
Just got back from testing with voltmeter. got nothing outta it. no affect on meter at all. Ohms were still good which proves there was no short.
Im dumbfounded as to how it completely killed the battery while the phone stated it was charging.
Gonna get a new battery and go from there. Might sell it, might give it to mother. we'll see.
Thanks guys for getting me to attempt more after I gave up. but now its time to finish hacking the One S
White LED light means there is not enough battery juice to boot the phone.

Team Blackhat
Since you are in the US your best bet is to get factory programming adapter / cable from Team Black Hat (Google it) & you will mostly restore your phone to life ( I wish we could get it in India). Else if in warranty claim it (microwave trick maybe to get a claim if it black hat stuff doesnt work out.
From what I read of Black hat and also of my soft brick personal experience due to bmm logwrapper vs A2bootstrap issue I know for a fact that my battery had enough juice but my RSD failed at step 13 or 14 so I cant say fxz will always save a moto user and black hat also acknowledges this that sometimes the phone wont let you fxz and thats where their product is a life saver. Cant comment why your phone went kaput. Check it out bro. All the best.

Since you are in the US your best bet is to get factory programming adapter / cable from Team Black Hat (Google it) & you will mostly restore your phone to life ( I wish we could get it in India). Else if in warranty claim it (microwave trick maybe to get a claim if it black hat stuff doesnt work out.
From what I read of Black hat and also of my soft brick personal experience due to bmm logwrapper vs A2bootstrap issue I know for a fact that my battery had enough juice but my RSD failed at step 13 or 14 so I cant say fxz will always save a moto user and black hat also acknowledges this that sometimes the phone wont let you fxz and thats where their product is a life saver. Cant comment why your phone went kaput. Check it out bro. All the best.

The Mcgruvyer method has been around for long but I am not comfortable doing it lest fry my phone literally for good due to shoddy workmanship by myself. Also what I mentioned is a option which allows to fxz phone with no battery inserted physically,but good to receive additional info.

Yikes! That's good to know, thanks for the heads up. Muck you Fotorola, indeed.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
having same problem but mine gave white light right after i tried charging drained battery
I think some IC may be damaged on the motherboard. If you have a warranty then please take your phone to service centre.

[Q] [E] Battery down to 0%, phone doesn't charge

Hey.
I got the dreaded GSM bug on my E (running CM10). The battery was down to 7%, and I was being told to sleep. I did the foolish thing and turned it off, hoping I'd turn it on tomorrow and flash stock. Next morning, the phone didn't turn on; the red light issue. I managed to turn it on, but soon as it turned on, it complained about lack of battery and turned off - the battery symbol didn't say that it was charging, it just showed an exclamation mark. When the phone turned off, it didn't turn on; I never even got the red light back.
It's charging right now (or so I hope) with a 2A Nexus 7 charger and Sony's stock USB cable. Even after charging for about two hours, it still doesn't get a red light. I can't take it to Sony cause it has CM10 and I can't flash stock as I can't get it into Flashmode.
Help me? Please?

Do you have an external charger? Probably not but it is your only shot! Or you need to find another Xperia E and charge your battery in that E. There is not much left you can try. Sorry.
Have you tried to plug it in your your PC? You never know...
This just pops up in my head: if you have enough micro USB cables, try to cut one open very delicate with a sharp knife.
Then try to insert them in your USB port to create voltage. This can't be stopped by the phone, it's a fully automatic process. Perhaps you can find a tutorial or so on the world wide web? Or do you have a very technical friend?
These are my suggestions. Can't think of anything else . Sorry.
Have a nice day and good luck!

Thanks. No external charger, plugging it into the laptop didn't do anything last night, my mother would kill me if I put a cut-open cable in my phone, can't find anything on the WWW, and I am the techinal one in my group of friends.
I left the phone to charge overnight and then tried to power it on. A red light occasionally blinks, but I can't turn the phone on. It's still connected to the charger, with me hoping for a miracle.
Try using one of those 'universal chargers'. They're really cheap, and availability shouldn't be a problem when you're in Delhi. But those are supposed to be kind of dangerous-might fry your battery. But then , it could give your battery just enough juice it needs to enter flashmode!
Best of luck! May God be with your E!

Like I said in PM,universal charger should do it.
Actually one of my friend using miro had this issue,what he did was charged it by universal charger for a considerable time[like 20 minutes]
and then put in the battery in his phone and connected it,the battery was around 17 percent and then he continued charging the phone by sony cable.

@KDB223 @NeoTrix
What, exactly, do you mean by a "universal charger"? I thought all microUSB chargers were compatible with all microUSB phones. Or do you mean a charger that charges any phone, by using separate ports?

They mean an universal AC/DC battery charger. You can get those for 10 euros/15 dollars(don't know in rupees). They can be found in any tech store.
Have a nice day!

Next time you may experience this, try putting out the battery for 10 seconds, then put it back in and turn the phone on. Make sure it's charged enough to make the test. Had the same battery problem with you, did this and it worked.

I also had the same problem, but worser because I cannot charge my Xperia J either via PC USB or the main power. Is the universal charger is the only solution?

You can find somebody with the same model phone like you and ask them to charge the battery for you.

Oneplus 6 | stuck in battery too low | soft brick | recovery help needed

Background information:
Oneplus 6 is rooted with magisk (but magisk hasn't been updated)
Able to charge and connect to pc as a Qualcomm modem

My Oneplus 6 phone randomly after charging went black and was stuck in a bootloop, after a while I was able to escape the bootloop. Shortly after the screen goes black and now I am prompted with "Battery is too low" screen. After trying many other things of trying to recover the phone, such as: Fully draining the battery then charging it again, charging it for over 24 hours, to "trickle" charging the phone. I wasn't able to bring the phone back.
I don't really know if it this is a battery coordination error or an actual battery error. My goal is to try to recover the phone with no data loss, I've been looking around other forms trying to see how to recover data using QFIL of writing the storage then writing it back to the phone. I have also purchased a 64gb Micro SD card in hope of being able to recover the data using TWRP which I do have on my phone, but I am not able to acess recovery mode, because I am stuck in the "battery too low" screen.
Any help is appreciated. My current last resort option would probably be trying to "unbrick" the phone using MSM downloader tool. My goal here is to try to reserve the data on my phone and be able to hopefully revive my phone, because I don't believe I am in a hard brick.
I had a sucessful operation using MSM tool upgrading the os with "enchilada_22_J.50_210121.ops" but is still stuck in battery is too low.
it may be a stupid solution but have you tried pressing the power button for a while?
another solution can be addressed in physically removing the battery for a while. You'll need the glue or the new adhesive tape at least

yes I have tried the first solution but I will try removing the battery, cause I was able to open my phone up
also do you mind linking me the page / link to where the person fixed it by removing the battery. I would like to try to follow his/her solution
From the photo you provided, your phone enters Emergency Download Mode (EDL mode)when connected to the computer so you may search for related data about EDL mode.

Sorry i was busy with an exam.
I've had a similar issue on a Sony Xperia Z2 and a Sony Xperia Z3 and after disconnecting the battery I've managed to solve the problem.
the oneplus 6 it's simplier to disassemble but i would suggest you to change the battery as said by @LR7875, just in case.

Replaced the battery but the same problem still persists. I was searching online and appearently oneplus phones have a chip to lock the phone from charging. Is there any way to bypass this?

Usually using a low Ampere (<1A) charger would solve the issue. Leave the phone connected in charge for 1h and let us know.

I don't know what to say...
You can try this last thing...
1.Remove the battery.
2. Unplug anything from the phone.
3.Using a paperclip or something made out of metal connect the positive and the negative battery connectors ON THE PHONE for a few seconds.
4. Reconnect battery.
5. Reconnect 1A 5V adapter.
DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT THE BATTERY! IT CATCHES FIRE AND EXPLODES!

My Phone was charging for a second when connected to my pc, but this was during my time off of the PC. If I were to recall the events to the best of my knowledge. I believe my phone was just plugged in (old battery), for a long period of time (1-5 hours) then after I turned off my pc for about (2-4 hours) and when I turned it back on it was charging but stayed at only 1% and unable to restart or anything. I wanted to try to recreate this with the new bought battery installed but I was unable to recreate this. I believe this confirms your theory before of charging it with a low ampere for an extended amount of time.

Alright, so please do the following:
-Unplug the battery for 1h (it will allow condenser to discharge).
-Plug-in the battery (the new one)
-Plug in the low-amp charger for one night (8h or so)
You'll have to try many times: even changing the order of the last 2 passages however it's not recommended to plug the charger first but in my case it worked.
NB. If it starts charging let it plugged until reaches at least 20%, boot the phone and switch with a 1A charger then power it off with the 1A charger.
