Okay my sister is having major problems with her Xoom. At little background information. Me, my sister and my other brother all received Xoom 4Gs as Christmas gifts. They are all unlocked and rooted. And up until now no major problems besides the occasional lockup. Now to the problem at hand. She was playing a game on her tablet and set it down to go do something. My brother, whom also has a Xoom, picked it up and hit the power button and the little red light next to the camera flashed. So he plugged it in. An hour later the charge light was green which she found odd because it normally takes a few hours for it to charge from dead. She tried to turn it on and nothing happened. No light flash no nothing. Later that day, I tried all the little tricks to get it to come on but nothing works. The only thing that does "work" is the charge light. I took the back off and disconnected the battery for about a minute, I didn't think to check the voltage while i had it apart though. What could it be, would really like to get it back up and running by the end of the month for a trip we are taking.
Or is there a way to get her data off of it?

I faced similar issue , the only thing that was showing was the notification light when charging, after reading all the forums i decided to plug in a micro hdmi cable to the tv so that i can see if the xoom is working.
and yes it was working perfectly fine!!! i could see the screen on tv and the touch was also working but i wasn't able to see anything on the screen(XOOM)
then i finally unscrewed the 2 screws and opened up the xoom , i removed the lcd connection and plugged it again! and THAT WORKED!!!
REALLY!!! TRY That!!!
here is a photo that can help you , you dont have to dig up the whole system, just disconnect the lcd cable and plug it in and be patient please!

Did you try connecting it to your tv using micro usb ?
When you push the power button , does it make the click sound?
Power button in my xoom got used off and became irresponsive , had to take off the back cover and glue some smal piece of foam to it, works, need to push hard but works.

i dont think it is the power button. when i connect it to my computer, the internal HD and the sd card shows up, and i can see all the files on it. that means xoom is working fine, it boot up. but i cant see anything on the screen. will have to wait for my micro hdmi cable and connect to a tv see if i can still use the touch sceen.
my son drop some water into it from where the sd card is. i took apart most parts, battery, motherboard and disconnect all the wires, still nothing.

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.

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 (

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!

And how do you do??? My method or the charging battery method?
And what do you use to stick the wire scotchtape or something else?
A week ago Tuesday, my TF101 (B40) and dock (B90) were working fine. I charged them up and then put them in a carry bag for a weekend trip (still docked). I never used it on the trip or the following week. This morning I tried to power it on and it wouldn't; I figured it was a dead battery. Still docked, I plugged it in and the light was solid red on the dock (not blinking red which it usually does when depleted). After over an hour, I still cannot power on my tablet. I now have the tablet plugged directly into the wall, no dock, but I thought I'd post to get some ideas in case that doesn't revive it. If it was all the way dead, how long would it likely take to charge enough to come on? Is there a way to see if there's something else? Unfortunately for me, I have some data on it that isn't on the microSD; is there any way to even get in a state to copy the files off as a USB drive or something?
It's unrooted, stock Honeycomb (I never upgraded because I use Flash in the stock browser for Amazon Prime).

Have you tried holding the power button for like 10 seconds, it could have just locked up holding it does a reset a bit like taking the battery out and putting it back in.
Also I believe in between the headphone jack and the HDMI there is a little hole, might be worth having a Google but I think that is another reset type button.
Even if the batt is completely dead it only needs to be plugged in for 5 secs for your to be able to switch it on with the power still in.
So it's been an hour and a half and it still won't power on, even holding it down for 30 seconds, and also doing a Volume Down + Power for 30 seconds. I'm trying to get a full charge on the dock now to make sure it isn't my charger or cable, and then I am hoping that re-docking will supply enough power to bring it on.
Edit: The dock now has a full charge, indicated with a green LED. The tablet is docked in and won't power up.

Actually, it might be working..
Try plugging it into a TV or another screen via HDMI cable..
I had a similar problem with mine, where I thought it was a power thing but infact it was a dead touch screen..
I actually did a complete flash back to stock via this method and sent it back for repair.
Lucky for me it still had the little sticker on the bottom of it and they replaced free of charge..

^^ This.
Otherwise I would completely kill the battery on the tablet, then try to recharge it via dock or direct cable, you may want to hold the power button for 30+secs to attempt to get it working, and see if your computer will detect it in APX mode via cable.. (Power + Vol up, no image will show) Then try reflashing it.
ToD
Thanks for responses so far. It now is recognized by Windows and I was able to get my data off, thankfully. I can't find my HDMI cable but I will try that soon to confirm it as a display issue.
Is there any chance it got a corrupted load from something OTA (I was still on Android 3.x) and is stuck in APX mode? It is a stock device but I read that APX-mode doesn't show you anything on the screen (like Fastboot does on my phone).

If its recognized by windows normally its not stuck in apx mode (windows detects "apx" mode, and you cant openly transfer files in apx) im assuming your not covered by warranty, you could pull it apart (easy to do) and see if anythings out of place, e.g loose connections, possibly even the battery connection but top priority is getting a hdmi connection going to see if its just the display or more.
there is a good youtube video that i used to confirm that i had touchscreen death.
its a tear down video and shows how to push the touch connector back into position as this seems to slide off
on a few devices, thus you lose touch screen.. check the q&a thread as i have posted a link to the video a few months ago..

^^ This, they are well known for pulling their own display cable out of place when they receive a knock, the ribbon cable is wrapped around the battery so when you knock it, the battery shifts and pulls the ribbon cable out of its socket, fairly easy fix once you get the back off and find the cable
Full teardown video here

Thanks to everyone who responded! I confirmed via HDMI that the tablet is working and the touch interface is active. I'll tear it down this weekend and put that cable back in!
So I'm bumping my old thread, because despite my good intentions in March I didn't try to open it up until a few weeks ago, and then the cable looked properly seated. I still disconnected and reconnected it to make sure and the tablet display still doesn't work.
Is there a chance I did something wrong or could it just be a bad display or other circuit board? I checked and via HDMI the touch interface still works. I don't want to give up on it because a repair or even buying a different TF101 off eBay is cheaper than a TF700+new dock.
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.

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.

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.

Ah... that was the problem, see. It wasn't charged. I'd tried what you said many, many times.
Oh, I see....my bad.

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?

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.

First off, you need to take a deep breath and calm down. If no one has answered, then it's either they don't know the answer (you do really want them to answer "I don't know how to help you. Sorry.") or just wait until someone reads it and thinks they know the issue.
Now, a couple of questions:
1 .What image did you flash the modem from? Need the full image name.
2. Did you use the correct image for your phone? Again, answer from question 1 will help.
I would suggest it's time to grab the correct image for your phone and flash the full image. Then next time, instead of flashing modem, do a clear dalvik and cache first. Then, if that doesn't work, do a Factory Data Reset, which that usually cures the issue.
But, at this time, you're only recourse is to flash a full stock image back to your phone to ensure you didn't corrupt anything. If that doesn't work, then I'd say you probably flashed the wrong image somewhere and bricked your phone. If a full factory image flash doesn't work, then you definitely bricked your phone and there's not much else we can do to help.
Sir it was one of the modem from razr hd toolkit there are 4 or 5 i think.after flashing that modem i changed firmware to rsrd that is used before upgrading to kitkat.firmware flashed succesfuly&i was recieving sms then i decided to flash retail brazil while doing so in rsd lite it gave error on 7/22 i repeated once again error then i tried to fastboot again but screen didnt turn on afterwards till now.
As you suggested to flash a new rom but how can i flash phone dont turn on,no fastboot,no recovery menu,phone dont connect through adb or rsd lite.tried many combinations of power plus volume up down but nothing.only if i put it on charging green light blinks and that is all.
You may be perma-bricked then. This is why when flashing you have to ensure you flashing the correct images for your phone as well as the correct version. Not doing so can cause the situation you are in.
There might be another way to fix it, but I have no idea and will leave it to someone else to hopefully help if they know of a way to fix it. If not, your only recourse is to turn the phone in for a swap. If it's still under warranty, you might be able to get another one swapped out.
I have no other help to offer, unfortunately.
Good luck!

I checked with multimeter i think point 3 is 5V wire but if i connect point 3 to point 4(empty) nothing happens on phone screen just green led stops blinking which otherwise blinks always when i connect any usb with charger or latop.

well the point of the factory adapter has nothing to do with the battery, infarct, it bypasses the battery altogether.
so you trying to hook the cables to the battery, missed the entire point of the adapter.
if the phone is not totally bricked, it should boot right into fastboot when you plug it in.
use google to find a place to fix it.
This wire attached to my phone battery was broken when i tried to open phone the wrong way.i didnt open the 2 screws on bottom but just seprated from kelvar side.di i need to replace battery or this connection wire can be repaired?by the way phone is still nonfunctional doesnt go to fastboot or recovery it is dead just green led blinks when i attach charger.
This trouble started about a month ago. The phone was rooted but I unrooted, factory wiped and then did the ota update last week. The trouble did not go away, unfortunately.
If I am using the phone, and plug the charger in, after a couple seconds it will immediately power off and go to the green charging screen. If I try and power on from there, it will power off again around the time the blu animation plays. Sometimes, it will get to "Android is starting.... Optimizing apps (number) of (number)" It won't get very far into that before it shuts down again. My girlfriend also has a Pure XL and I get the same result when trying to use her charger.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks!
edit: SOLVED!
Here is what happened: When I first got this device in december, I rooted it the day after it arrived. A week or so later, the phone randomly got stuck in a boot loop. No amount of button presses and or holds helped. The only thing i could think to do was a battery pull. As I was pulling the battery, I tore the ribbon cable in half. Within an hour I had soldered in some kynar to patch the tear. It booted right up and charged no problem at all and didn't give me any trouble until these recent charging issues. Tonight I decided to open it up and check the connections again. Lo and behold, a solder joint had failed in the center (thinnest) part of the patch job. I de-soldered everything, cleaned up the old solder, split the cable up and was able to do a much better patch job this time around. Everything is up and running just like new again. Thank you folks for helping me troubleshoot.
For anyone wondering what the heck I am talking about, here is an image of a similar ribbon cable patch job. This ribbon has 6 tracks. The Pure XL battery only has 3.:

just over 4 volts when charging. max went to 2970ma then dropped to about 2600 before it shut off again. battery temp was right at 30 degrees c.

All that seems within spec;
Id try reloading the rom using spflash tool (read the unbrick thread, its full of information)
or if that seems too major of undertaking, maybe pull some adb logcats and see what exactly is causing the reboot

Yeah I rooted it again for logcat access. I used an app called catlog to see the logs (in real time?) Will checking the logs via adb show me the stored logs and hopefully whats happening just before crash?
At what point after powering the phone on does it actually start logging?

Logcat should start logging as soon as its service starts, which is early in the booting stage so it should be logging everything that the system spits out while the phone is booting up and while running.
If you know exactly what to look for and how to troubleshoot Android systems, then you can try to debug the issue yourself. If you don't, just post the log(s) and let someone experienced and helpful check it out. Logs should be the files stored in /dev/log.

Something I've wondered about soldering on those flex cables, does the soldering iron melt the plastic, I've got a few things that could be fixed if I had the balls to try it
Of the admittedly few flex cables I have soldered on, I can't recall the plastic ever melting. I always use some kind of blade to scrape the top layer and expose the metal tracks underneath. If they are really small and or close together, carefully cutting the plastic between the tracks can make the job easier as you can individually lift and solder them one at a time.
Hey. I'm having a similar issue with my phone. How do you get the cable out for the battery? I just purchased this phone with issues from someone and it looks like they tried to remove the battery and I'm having similar issue to you but I'm not able to get the battery out and I don't want to destroy the cable. Thanks.
How do you remove the battery?
