i think i bricked my phone i was flashing back to stock using rsd lite it failed and now it will only come on when plugged in and it says bootloader err: and the some numbers (ill post them later i left my phone at work) then battery low can not program i plugged it in all night same thing i gave my battery to a friend so he could charge ill get it back tomorrow hopefully it will let me program the only difference this time is that i got a new computer with win 7 before i was using xp and also i used rsd 4.9 before it was 4.6 please help!!!!
Your battery is probably too low to charge. Yes, that's possible. The phone tries to autoboot and then runs out of power before it can charge enough.
Try this: Plug in to usb/charger and hold volume up and camera while powering on to get to the bootloader then push power button. It may stay powered off and keep charging. Otherwise...
...watch the phone like a hawk while it's charging. Every time it starts trying to boot, pull the battery out and put it back. Do this for about 3 hours and then try RSD again.

Help Please. I have been running this Trickdroid for quite some time. And thanks to such great battery life I have never seen my phone under 10%....until yesterday when it ran all the way down and powered it self off. ....now it will not take a charge tried all my different chargers even tried a rapid charger (Nex7 charger) and the charging LED never comes on. Will not even try to light up the screen when you hold the power button. I'm concerned about sending it in via TMO that they will fix it and find i unlocked and rooted it and charge me full price for my replacement. Any thoughts? Has this happened to anyone else on this ROM? Is there a way to revive it? Thanks.
Hold power button soft keys should light up then release after 3sec but it on charge and leave it there even if light doesn't come on and after awhile the light should come on

Yes mate K1llacannon is right mate i can totally confirm that.
I read from one dude with a HOS he left it sit there a full night with the charger connected and after that he could use it again. Apparently, the light will come on eventually but it will take a while until the battery has enough juice to boot the phones charging electronics. Before that, it will take power but show no indicator.
Also, i suppose it is some sort of emergency circuit that charges in the beginning and it is only charging at some minimum rate or something like that so it takes a while...

Thanks guys for the reply....I have tried this and the keys never flash and I left it plugged in all night last night and then again all morning on a different charger and still nothing,....ugh.
It now does do this when plugged into the PC: The PC will do the "durp drup" like its connected then do the tone again as if its not connected again. This cycle just keeps going. I tried to do some adb but keeps saying no device.

Try fastboot devices, adb only works when phone on and USB debugging enabled and in recovery sometimes. If it shows your device then maybe try fastboot reboot recovery or something.
My first One S was completely dead on arrival, no sign of life after charging it for 24 hrs straight with original charger (tested charger OK) and holding PWR for 10, 30 seconds and longer. Got a new one no questions asked. Not that this is necessarily the same problem you're having since yours have been running but then again I'd guess they at least test all phones so they start at factory...
Ok guys, I'm in a predicament, I flashed the latest AOKP build 3 (clean flash) flashed IMOv.16 cache/dalvik/permissions and everything worked great. This was around 2pm. I spent the rest of the day just messing around with settings getting it how I liked it. even after several reboots. Now my battery dies around 11:45pm so I plug it up and it vibrates once, the charge screen shows for a second but the charging icon doesnt spin and then cuts off. tried it for about 30 minutes in the wall, 30 minutes from usb from computer, now its been in the wall for about an hour, if I unplug and plug it the phone does nothing, but if I pull the battery put it back in and plug it up to either power source the charge screen shows for about a second and then cuts off, but nothing happens after that any suggestions? has this happened to anyone else? what should I do?
Ok im not sure why that happened, but I fixed it. I pulled the battery, put it back in and instantly help VOL down + Home + Power and I got it tothe screen before Odin. So I was going to flash stock, but I figured if i can get into Odin I can get into recovery so I pressed down to restart phone instead of up to enter odin mode and it restarted and booted up, with a significant charge on it! Phew thought I had done something bad! :victory: My blood pressure is returning to normal now, but why did that happen in the first place? Will it happen again if my battery dies?

Outstanding work! My blood pressure is down now too.
i was doing a restore on my phone, i didnt notice my wall charger wasnt plugged in and battery died during restore now phone wont turn on and it seems like battery isnt charging . please help does anybody have a solution for this
Pull battery
Wait 30s
Install battery (don't turn phone on)
Wait 30s
Plug charger into device and wall. (leaving phone off)
You should see the green Battery on your screen.
Wait a while for it to charge up.
If device is charged but not operating properly, enter into Recovery and flash your Nandroid backup.
thank you im trying it now. im at the step where i plugged it in but i didnt see the green battery on phone. its still plugged in now
May take a minute or so.
Also, make sure your charger and usb cord are operational
i just saw the circle like trying to load when i plugged it in but then just a black screen
If you've waited a few minutes, and still no green Battery,
Follow the above steps again regarding battery pull, etc.
Then leave plugged in, and enter into Recovery.
Hold 3 buttons at the same time.
Power, Home and
Volume Up I believe.
Flash your Nandroid.
Let me know.
i tried it twice but no green battery. it seems like is going to load the green battery but then just goes black screen
Follow the Recovery steps I outlined above.
Let me know.
ok thank is working now thanks alot man
Glad you got it working
Did it just take a few minutes for the green Battery icon to display, as the battery was depleted.
actually green battery never appeared but. if i tried to turn on the phone just with power button wasnt working. but when i did the 3 buttons it work. thanks
So you had to enter into Recovery mode?
If yes, likely because the Restore was interrupted, which borked the device.
yes i had to do that
Sounds good
Howdy!
My phone doesn't work anymore, and I try to assess what's going on. I searched before posting, and I decided to post here because I found mixed answers.
Context:
I bought my phone in January 2014. I took extra care of it, it has never fallen on the ground from high, no scratch, nothing. Regarding the battery, I tried as much as possible to charge when it was close to 0%, I wasn't a heavy user of my phone, and I was turning off a lot of things so that the battery would not deplete quickly (Wifi, localisation, Bluetooth, auto-typing, et cetera...).
However, recently (the last month), I was feeling the battery was weak, depleting more quickly than before. I also felt the phone was warmer than usual. Sometimes the phone would turn off suddenly when I was short on battery (under 15%) and using a "heavy" feature (photography with flash, video game).
A week ago, the phone suddenly turned off, never to turn on again. The phone died. I was just typing a message, the phone was charging and the battery was around 60%. I was surprised.
As of today, the phone doesn't turn on. Plugged on a wall outlet or on the USB port of my computer is the same.
I tried many combination of buttons to fastboot, reboot, reset, or whatever, nothing sparked any life in my phone. (I tried holding power key for 30s+, 15s+ ; I tried holding power key + volume up for 15s+ ; power key + volume down ; power key both volume ; in fact whatever combination I could read here on XDA forums, on Reddit, on Google Forums...).
My first insight was: it's just the battery. I can buy one off the internet, and voilà!
However, when I plug the Nexus 5 on my computer via USB, the computer reacts with the sounds when you connect something. Is it just the battery then?
At first, it was saying: "QHS_USB BULK", and the computer was trying to install whatever to make that peripheral work.
When it was done, it read "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) has been correctly installed.
Hum, okay.
Still, nothing shows in the peripheral.
I continue to hear the plug in plug out sound when I... plug in and out my phone in the computer, but that's the only thing.
With all that, I can't really tell if all the phone is dead, something grilled inside or I don't know what; or if it's just the battery that is dead and the phone is unreachable and unrecognizable when "there is no battery" in it.
I'm not sure if I shall invest money into buying a new battery.
Do you guys can light my lantern on that matter?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Cheerio!
If I may just address a little bump on this very subject of particular interest to myself :3
Cheerio!
Any insights on this? mine´s doing the same. Doesn´t turn on or go into bootloader, when i connect to charge it red light blinks for like 10 sec and then goes off. Nothing happens after hours of charge.
Did you try replacing the battery as you mention on the post?
Sorry, but have to say this with caps: BLINKING RED NOTIFICATION LED MEANS ITS DEAD BATTERY. Can't be 100% sure, but usually it means that the phone doesn't have enough power to boot up. Mine did this when it drained to the absolute 0%
edit: There can be other problems with power going to phone, but if you are lucky its just the battery.
So i changed the battery. When i plugged it to charge no red lights came on, just the typical white battery with the light bolt appeared for a few seconds, after that it went on with screen off (or at least i thought it did). After 3 h of uninterrupted power charge i went to turn it on. Nothing happened. Can´t turn it on or go into bootloader.
Nothing happens on my pc when i plug it. No sound and nothing on Device manager (no drivers for nexus 5 installed, don´t know if that matters for windows to recognize it as any device even if its not as android device).
Edit: yeah, i got enlightened and literally unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and it worked like charm. I get stuck on the intro animation but i can get into bootloader and recovery just fine. Just gonna install those drivers and flash something. right? Thanks to everyone that read and even more to those who replied!

Yeah, search from youtube how to flash factory image nexus 5. It should make it work. And try to find video with using adb instead of toolkit, adb is way more stable/trustable. (ADB is the android debug bridge, it may look like very hard and confusing but in the end its just typing 1 command and it flashes everything needed) If you need help in flashing the image, just ask!
Try this, it installs only tools needed for adb (also drivers) http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-platform-tools-adb-fasbootdrivers-t3061441
Edit: This should work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ka5dnPghzI
Last night I was in the process of flashing uk customized on my new xz and it failed. I had the software did not load error. I could not get the flash to go through so I used the xperia care repair phone. It got almost all the way through the process it got hung up at the end of the status bar. I let it sit there for over an hour and nothing happened. The led on phone is green. when i turn phone on it gives the dead phone screen. so i plug it in it shows the charging icon with the led blinking red. after 15 secs or so it turns back to green. When i started the whole process i had 100% battery. i left phone on charger when i went to work and still same result. i have spent countless hours searching xda and the internet with no solutions. any suggestions?
Power + vol up
Flashtool > flash rom Android 6
Android 7 system.sin not flashtool
Full wipe, no exclude
i couldn't get enough juice to use flash tool. i plugged xz into a different computer to trickle charge for an hour and half. phone booted up. not sure why the factory charger and the first pc wouldn't charge it after being on each for hours.
