Phone showing white battery icon and shuts down - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was setting up adb and fastboot and when i rebooted to the bootloader using ad recovery-bootloader it showed be a fastboot menu.
fastboot devices did not show up anything. I could not reboot using adb so i manually restarted the phone.
Now when it starts, i get a white battery icon and it disappears and phone never starts.
Does anyone know what could be the issue here? Anything else I should try before giving up and reflashing?

I am guessing you are on AOKP or cm9(redpill or earlier).
That was a bug in the rom.
It was removed from cm9 after bluepill, don't know if its removed the latest AOKP build or not.
If you don't want to flash a new rom, try this:
Pull out charger cable,if connected, wait 10 seconds,
1.LONG PRESS (3-5 seconds) power button. If you see charger logo again, LONG press again. It will boot normally.
2. You can also try going into recovery and then rebooting from there.

I had to keep on rebooting and finally I was able to boot into the device

An easier way...when you see white battery, hold power down again until LG logo. It will start

[Q] G2x stuck in "S/W Upgrade" screen after NVflasher One Click

My phone is currently sitting with a "S/W upgrade" screen after a series of stupid events. I flashed recovery using ROM Manager before I had read that it fake flashed. I rebooted into recovery and installed CM7 nightly. Rebooted and it's stuck in a boot loop. So I finally see all the warnings against that so I figure I need to get a real recovery so I use the awesome guide from TGA_Gunnman. I follow all the instructions and it appears from the log on my PC that the CM recovery flashed successfully. I pull the cord, reinsert my battery and my phone just sits in the S/W upgrade screen. It's been like that for 30 minutes now.
What do I do?
I thought I'd done something wrong with my G2x because that happened to me too. Remove your battery and USB. Then insert your battery again. When you turn it on, make sure to hold both the power button and the volume down button until you see text that says android. If you, like me, thought you just had to hold the volume down and tap the power button (like my Nexus One), that might be your issue.

just disconnect usb, and go to recovery Power+vol down...
.....and congrats !
yep, I thought I bricked it too.. When you were done at the green screen where it said press any button, thats where you press whatever you want and then unplug the cord. Then, put the battery back in and hold down vol then power, don't let go until "android" pops up.. You did it man, just missing your last step..
Moved to proper forum
I can get to the Recovery screen, but I cant select any of the options....volume lets me scroll, but cant find anything to select any of the options....kinda new at this
power button to 'action' your selection... at least it works for me.

The "S/W upgrade" stays on, that's normal. See if your terminal window has completed whatever stuff it is doing. If you get a completed message, you are good to go and can safely pull out the USB chord even if your phone still says "S/W upgrade". Put back your battery and hold Power+Vol DOWN button and see if you get into cmw recovery.
so im trying to fix my friends phone and this is weird..
im able to go to cwm, wipe it all and flash a new rom.. it flashess successfully but when i reboot it goes back to the s/w update screen..it happens with any rom i flash.. its been sitting there for a while.. how long should i wait?
Once you flash the ROM you shouldn't be getting that screen...Does your friend has the G2x or 2x and which ROM did you flash?
Sounds like you screwed up the boot image. Go into APX mode again and reflash the recovery package making sure it completes, you hit a key to close the terminal window, and you hold the volume buttons the entire time. Then go into recovery and factory reset and clear the Dalvik cache. Then if you still get the S/W update screen you are going to need to go to the thread about fixing bricked phones and use the KDZ method to reflash the entire GB OTA package. There is also a new method to reinstall the entire OTA package using NVFlash but you have to hold the volume buttons down for about ten to fifteen minutes while everything flashes.

device reboots to recover please help

i just onstalled megatron rom and my devices boots up to recovery mod with no way out of it
i really dont want to wipe
is there a way to force the device to boot normal?
I had the same issue as you only a couple of days ago. I had to do a full reboot to my phone unfortunately.

what do you mean by full reboot?
reboot the device another time, when it starts again hold down the power button till it powers of
Now do as you normal do and hold down volume - and power button till you see white letters about 2 sentences written. let go of the buttons and do nothing and it will cold start linux.
The problem you have could be coming that you rebooting in recovery from rom. Some clockworkmods don't like that.

Did you install CWM from ROM Manager? If you did you installed a "bad" version.
Go here for the fix, it has nothing to do with Megatron ROM.

[Q] Triumph stuck at moto logo, cant get into clockworkmod

Ok so today my triumph stopped responding so i restarted it (took out the battery). then rebooted. upon reboot phone shuts down and now will hang at the motorola logo for about 10 min before boots but will shut back down due to the battery being dead(but had full charge when this started). Dont know what happened. So i try to get into clockworkmod to flash backup. cant get into it. the only thing i can do is get to the recovery.img file(pressing power+volume down). Other than that nothing.
also tried to boot with power pluged in. it stayed on but would not respond to any touches or button press except the lock button.
I have cwm 5.0.2.6 installed and tickerguy's cm7.
never had this problem till today. Any help would be appreciated.
a new development has occurred. now when i try to access recovery, the phone will just vibrate without stopping.
and i believe its stuck in a boot loop but without recovery i dont know anyway to exit the loop.
Are you able to get into download mode (power off then simultaneously press power button & vol- (should show polling))
Sent from my Triumph using xda premium
Yes i am able to get to download mode
Well after some tinkering (replacing the recovery image, assuming something corrupted it) i can now get to recovery, still takes 10 min to load it though. But i am unable to do anything in recovery because i have to press the menu button to confirm selection but the buttons wont respond. Some help would be appreciated.

[Q] Probably bricked P3113 - Need Confirmation

So, been running CM10 for a long time on tab. Decided to go back to stock, and downloaded the JB stock rom. Flashed via ODIN. Everything seemed to go OK, except that after the flash the screen went black for ages, and didn't reboot. So I hard powered it off. Probably what did it, but it wasn't going anywhere for about 15 minutes, so figured it was the next step.
Now, I get the battery charging icon. The system goes through the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 white logo, the swirling then glowing Samsung logo, and then loops through that forever.
It wouldn't be such a problem if I could back into ODIN and do another flash, but I can't get into download mode (normally I do it via adb but that isn't working since there is no USB connection at all). Tried all combinations, power/up, power/down etc. It just boot loops as above. I'm pretty sure I bricked it, but just wanted some confirmation.
Been doing this on and off for a long time, and it's the first time I've ever got stuck like this.
Thanks in advance.
Plug USB charger, your device will boot into charge mode. From charge mode you can boot into recovery by keep holding VOLUME UP button and than press POWER button. Clear data and cache in recovery, reboot.

Thanks, but I tried all combinations of Power/Volume UP and Power/Volume DOWN, it just goes through a normal boot cycle until it starts looping.
I guess it's possible I'm not using the right timing. I'm assuming that you hold Volume UP or DOWN and then press and hold Power until the screen goes black, and then release? I've done it like that many times, and also continued to hold everything down as the logo appears, and then system goes back to the battery charging icon as if it powers off again. I sound like such a noob when I type stuff like that!
I saw ODIN successfully write system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img, so I'm thinking any CWM recovery I had on there is toast.

You must pull usb cable before start.
You can try to re-flash.

Well, don't I feel like the idiot!
How did I not think to disconnect the USB before trying this? tuxafgmur, your first "Thanks" has been registered, I've got it from here!
P.S. Welcome to the forum!
it sounds strange. never heard of such a strange boot problem. anyway it could be that while transferring boot.img it became damaged due to some error. i know you probably tryed but you may try and connect it to linux or mac os x in order to check if you could retrive more data about the tab. for example the mac could find if it is totally corrupted. normally when i plug my samsung devices it ask me to add the samsung-modem also if they are turned off. meybe if it happens the same to you you can try to adb fastboot it also if i doubt myself about it working, but give it a shot
i hope my bad english is not preventing you to understand what i'm saying!
give us new feedback!

[SOLVED] Desperate need of help. Tablet not booting.

Edit: PROBLEM SOLVED! However I'll keep this up just in case anyone runs into a similar issue, I'll go ahead and quote the post that brought my tablet to life. As simple as it may be, it helped!

You can't really hold them together sometimes, I don't know why.
Hold volume down, press power and release, while holding volume down. Should go into bootloader then.

Okay, so in case I'm missing something, I'll keep it quick and say my tablet (WiFI version) wont boot to the system, and no button combo will boot it into the bootloader. It goes straight to the nvidia screen no matter what, and won't get past the boot animation.
In case that doesn't cover it, and more info is needed, I'll give the complete rundown of all that happened.
I just got my tablet a few days ago, however I immedietly unlocked the bootloader, and rooted it, and was fine with that for a while. Eventually I got sick of Lollipop due to lack of support for some Xposed modules and other apps that didn't support 5.0. So I decided to boot into recovery and flash THIS CarbonROM. But it didn't boot past the CarbonROM logo, so I forced a shutdown and booted into recovery (vol down + power) and figured I had to flash the KitKat OTA, then the ROM. So I flashed THIS OTA onto my tablet in CWM, then after booting I booted back into CWM and flashed CarbonROM. It booted just fine. I then went into ES File Explorer and deleted the system apps I didn't want (calender, the stock launcher, etc.) and it worked fine. I then booted back into CWM to clear cache and Dalvik Cache, to clean up any app data that might have been left behind. After booting it stayed on the "Android is upgrading" screen for almost 20 minutes. So I decided to hard reboot it. After doing that, I'm where I am now. The tablet won't boot past the CarbonROM logo, and although I can manually power it down, no matter what I do, I can't boot it into bootloader. I have gotten to the bootloader from a powered off state plenty of times before, in fact it's my preferred method of doing so. But now it skips straight to the Nvidia screen, followed by the CarbonROM screen, and never boots.
Also, I had just flashed the ROM, and had never enabled adb debugging.
Any possible solution would be greatly appreciated, as like I said I just bought the tablet days ago.
Try connecting it to your pc, boot it up, and try running "adb reboot revovery" after it's been running for a bit

I seem to get a "error: device offline" message when I try that.
I have used adb and fastboot before this issue so I know my drivers and adb files are just fine :/
Edit: When I unplug the usb from the tablet it makes the low battery noise. I think it's booted to the system but stuck at the CarbonROM logo for some reason. I did delete the stock launcher without installing a new one...
Edit: Since I had just flashed the ROM, I had not yet gone into developer options and enabled adb debugging. I had only done it before I flashed the ROM.
