[Q] PHONE is Dead, Not charging at ALL, No custom rom installed

Hey guys, i've done the search button and still can't find any answers. First of all, all i've done to my phone : S-off, superuser, root. No custom ROM installed. i did that 2days prior yesterday and it was working and charging fine. So yesterday when i was playing paradise island my phone died. I connected it to the USB wall charger and left my room. After 3-4hrs, my phone is still dead. So i thought maybe the USB or wall charger is not working. I tried using my cousin Mytouch wall charger with the htc USB, still doesnt work but using my wallcharger with the mytouch usb, my cousin's phone charges.
When i try to charge my phone, the amber light comes on but its flashing, then after 3 times, light will stop
Troubleshooting i've done
I've tried numerous times to go to HBOOT, nothing
Removed the battery several times, nothing
tried USB charging through my laptop nothing.
Any help guys??

Same issue!
Please help with this!!

CMW
If you search you'll find that there is a problem and after installing CMW Recovery most phones will not charge if they're off, so if you let your battery drain to the last you will be unable to charge your battery trought the phone, no solution at this moment for this
Work arounds
- Charge your battery on a wall charger directly not trought the phone
- Charge your battery on an stock untouched Sensation

Wallcharger, is there one i can purchase??
Is the battery itself the problem?? because t-mobile, will sent me a new battery. I've only had this phone for 3 weeks. IF the battery itself not the problem, they will send me a new phone but i'm assuming that i've going to have to send the old phone back, is there going to be an issue regarding the warranty when i send the old phone to them???

it's not the battery, it's the cmw what's the problem. You have an older version of cmw.

I see, where to get the latest CWM? There's a way to go back to stock right?
Now i kinda regret S-OFF,ROOt, CWM ...lol..-.- i know it's my fault tho...

Once you managed to boot the phone again, you can install rom manager, from there you can easily install the latest cmw.

i have the latest CMW Still doesn't charge when battery at 0%
You would think they would test CMW before releasing....

I used CWM 4.0.1.4. From what i know its suppose to fix the charging problem. As of right now, im trying to manually charge my battery by splitting on of my old USB cable +wall charger. So hopefully this will work.

None of the threads in the entire forum are even remotely helpful if you can't even get the phone to turn on.
I can't reflash the recovery - if there is no way for me to get into the bootloader.
A wall charger hasn't helped - nor my N1 battery taped in.
NOTHING.
Please stop jumping a million steps ahead to reflashing the recovery - start with HOW TO TURN THE PHONE ON - bearing in mind that NOTHING IN THE FORUM so far has worked.

I've been using my brothers G2 battery (which doesn't fit) to turn on my phone.
But since I don't have a universal charger, and my phone wont turn on (I tried EVERYTHING) than there is no point to attempt to get into recovery unless I'm going back to stock.
Tl;DR CWM Needs to fix there shhhhhheeeet.

I finally manage to turn on my fone by splitting my old usb cable...i know somone said, its dangerous but it work for me....so do it at your own risk....now im juz looking for a safe wayto revert to stock w/o cwm,root,super user....might keep S-off tho
Any suggestion
If u need to start you fone....get a spare usb cable...and split it..remove the battery from your fone. Now tape the red wire to positive and black to negative....attach the usb to ur wall charger.....then wait 10- 20 min. Now remove ur battery then insert it back to you phone and turn it on. Once it starts, connect it to ur htc usb+ wallcharger.... once again, someone said its dangerous....so make this your last resort

Yeah. That didn't work for me. After splitting two cables - I decided to cut my losses.
Unfortunately I'm not in the US - and that's where I bought the phone. I'm going to try and find and independent vendor and see if they have a battery I can buy.
If not - I am ROYALLY screwed.

Yeah the battery/cwm combo is ****ed. So angry.

Do you have the one with the blue text? It's supposed to fix these issues
Swyped from my HTC Sensation

Sorry to revive this thread, but I am in the same boat. After trying to flash android on my brother's hd2, I noticed that the battery died. I cannot charge it since it has no ROM currently installed... Has there been a fix?

[Q] How to Charge .. ?

I have had my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for around 3.5 weeks. First of all I must express how much i adored the tablet, and how my computer , tv and games consoles became obsolete. However recently, I looked into rooting the device, I eventually did after 1 week of speculating possible scenarios in my head. So i rooted it using the Clockwork Mod method, again it worked fine for a couple of days, until i was playing a game, when the battery ran dead flat. Normally this would of been ok, however when i plugged it into the official samsung ac adapter plug, it recognized it as charging, but in 12 hours it hadn't risen by 1%. I was furious, I had saved up alot of money, for a long time - for it to brake. I then tried charging via usb connection , still no luck.
I tried searching online for similar cases where they couldn't get it to charge. I didn't find any for the N8010, but for other devices. They reccomended factory resetting , to see if that would help. So.. I did that ( after finding that after 2 days it goes up by 1 %) still no luck, so my question to you is:
' Have any of you experienced similar cases with your note, and what do you suggest?'
Admittedly, I am new to this - so somewhere along the line, I had probably failed which caused this, but still any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try Odin to stock. If that doesn't work then you probably have to get it fixed

Plug it into a usb port of your computer. This will charge though slower than your wall charger. I suggest this in case there's something wrong with the wall charger. If it charges then you know its not the tablet...

I was wondering if you had any luck with this yet? i remember back when i owned a droid x i flashed a ROM that prevented charging. If you weren't lucky enough to have a spare battery around some people ended up splitting the usb cable and connecting it straight to the battery to do a force charge. If you are up against a wall and are desperate to get it charged you can check out this guide to opening it up http://cnettv.cnet.com/cracking-open-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1/9742-1_53-50130350.html the reason i say that is because it sounds like you need to ODIN back to completely stock and then start over. You don't want to run ODIN unless you have a good charge though. I have no idea if this is good advice or not... the thought just crossed my mind when i read your situation. Take my advice for what it's worth (not much) and do so at your own risk as i accept no responsibility if you end up with a $500 paperweight.

Damn! I can get it to the same 1 % however quickly, but again I cannot charge through USB or AC adapter, both recognize as charging..
Does anyone know of a way to charge another way?
P.S. I managed to get a charge once.. after not being able to . The outcome was that it was 17% and by the time I looked at the guide again it was out of battery. I found if i completly discharge the battery, then leave it a couple of days, then charge.. it miraculously works! But I don't think that is normal.I will try that again in a last ditch chance , then i will reflash stock firmware.

I think its more of an issue with Rom which is doing that you should try reverting back to stock rom one question if you have CWM why didnt you take nanodroid backup if you would have done that it would have saved you loads of trouble.
I am not an expert of Samsung devices, but isnt there a method like we have in LG using NVFlash or Smartflash which does not require battery.
Also may be the RIL has spooked your charging volts

Mate, that's not normal. If you get it to charge, wait until its ay least 50% charged before trying to flash, though it sounds like things aren't working properly there anyway... If you get it back to stock and there's still a problem definately return it as it sounds like battery could be stuffed. Don't forget, if you haven't already, to run triangle away as you need to reset flash counter before loosing root.... Especially if you're returning under warranty....

Can't charge after updating to JB

Hello,
This is the first time I am using Android so please understand that I know basically nothing about it.
So I received a refurbished note 10.1 (software 4.0.4) with about 50% of battery left. I played with it like 3 hours and then updated to 4.1.1 (or 4.1.2), battery went down to like 10% so I plugged the charger in and kept playing. After further 30mins I realised my battery still goes down (8%). I had a quick look in Google and many people are saying that after updating to JB tablet takes very long time to charge or doesn't charge at all. I thought mine will charge slowly so I left it overnight plugged in. I woke up with 7%...
I tried charging it with a USB cable connected to a TV, in the first hour it charged to 8 and after that (about 3h) it stayed the same.
So the question is: Is it the charger, software or is it just a faulty tablet?
What I would like to try is to downgrade it back to 4.0.4 but I am not sure how to do that (or if it is safe) with such low battery level. Is it possible to downgrade when tablet is off?
Thank you

Factory reset or reflash the firmware JB you flashed .
But i would return to the seller has you have no evidence JB is the problem as you only had the tablet 3 hours .
Flash any firmware via Odin min requirements 30% battery to be safe .

Have you tried charging from an actual power outlet I don't believe that you can charge them via tv, pc or any other device only via an actual power outlet.
As far as roling it back to ics I believe you would have to flash it but don't take my advice on that one, maybe someone else could advise?
Also no I would upgrade or down grade firmware without a fully charged battery.
I found that mine was charging worse after jb update I actually factory reset it and its a tiny bit better, I still find though that if I want to charge it fast its best to turn it off and let it charge, I also noticed that the biggest culprit for draining the battery atleast on my device is Skype just having it running in the background drains it heaps.

I left it charging the whole night using the included charger (It looks like an original one) and as I said it only dropped by 1% (tablet was off the whole process)
From what I know it does charge through TV's and stuff but it just is a lot slower.
And I have no apps running, wifi off, gps off - everything off. RAM cleared
// After about 3 hours of charging through a TV it went up by 1%...
I left it charging through a TV because if a normal AC didn't help I thought it may be something to do with the charger.

Factory reset is in settings under personal heading its the backup/reset tab obviously make sure you back up your stuff first or you will loose it, this won't role it back to ics but might help. Also I have never found that any of my android devices charge via another Device only wall outlet they do maintain the power level there at but don't really charge.
Do you have another ac adapter I youncould use to test with try a different ac adapter if possible.

charging cable likely cause
I have had very bad luck with factor Samsung cables.. I would Use a different usb cable and wall plug usb brick.. make sure its output is equal to or above the original Samsung charger .
This is likely why the device was returned to begin with. As most of us know refurb devices are usually just open box customer returns. Often are just factory reset and resold .

It might work check the voltage to see if its the same and use your usb cable, they use mini usb I believe. Thats the other thing the usb cable that you using might be stuffed. The cable on galaxy tab 7 looks 100% but it doesnt work at all, as erica_renee said samsung chargers aren't the greatest.
I use a Belkin charger much stronger than samsung original

From what I've read, one review says that there is no way to use a S3 charger. + it has 1A
Apparently note uses different pin configurations..
I have no idea what to do now... :<

Right, before I get one, at the moment Im trying to use iPhone charger with the standard samsung cable. I showed a red cross (what I would expect it to show). I then tried to hold the volume up while plugging it in (Ive read on one forum that it helps, not sure what it does but worth trying) and it jumped up by 1% - no red cross now... I have no idea what Im doing or why no red cross is visible.. ehh
//edit:
Guys.. this is working!
Another 1% in 15 mins.. It may not be much but believe me, Ive been waiting for that 1% for a long time
I'll give an update soon
//
Further 15-20 mins and it increased by 2%. Well, yay! I guess

Not good where did you get it, does it have warranty make em fix it and give you another charger

Hi all,
last night my n8000 stop charging. ..

Yes, return under warranty... This is not right. It sounds like the usb connector might have a problem...

Galaxy S7 Fast Charge & MTP Not Working, Computers Cannot Recognize It!!

Hi dear xda users
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F model and facing a very frustrating issue. The problem began a couple of months ago, when I woke up, the fast charging ability and any USB connection with computer was gone.
The steps that I've tried
1) I have tried it with multiple computers, multiple USB ports and ORIGINAL 2.0A fast wall chargers, can't recognize it,can't fast charge.
2) I have installed ADB drivers and all Samsung drivers, still not recognized,still can't fast charge.
3) I've tried to revert it to stock with stock firmware, stock bootloader and modem, even in Fastboot Download mode, still not recognized.
4) Last thing, I thought it might be the charging port (flex) is broken and I've had it changed with the same new charging flex in front of my eyes with a technician and still can't get it recognized or fast charged.
5) I have changed the settings and tried almost all combinations from the dialer menu *#8800#, still can't!
The device did not contact any water at all and I am beginning to think that motherboard is corrupt somehow.
Another bad news is Samsung Turkey Official Service Centers are denying to repair the devices that you bought from any other country (SHAME ON YOU SAMSUNG!)
They basically won't replace or repair anything with in my phone! (still, it is the same model that they sell in Turkey)
Have anyone faced the similar issues with me?

Only thing I know of is if you have USB debugging on, it prevents some USB functionality until turned off. But if you flashed stock, USB debugging should have reverted to stock.
And yes Samsung warranty doesn't cover grey imports, you have to buy locally.

Well only thing left is the battery and main motherboard really

happened to my old s7 edge and i did all you have done too but no luck. it is some software bug i read soemwhere which only samsung can fix via ota cause our phone cant get detected by pc to flash rom. so all eforts in vain , and i sold the phone in the end. also mine used to get charged in 5-6 hours cause it detecs every cable as usb cable.

Almost everyone in this forum has a rooted phone, yet this is an issue few have experienced. Rooting might be the first step they took to breaking something, but rooting alone couldn't be the cause otherwise you'd see way more of this.

Keep it on track guys!!!!!

How are we gonna fix this! I'm scared if my phone dies and I can't connect it to a pc..

Bricked S7 after a failed Odin flash

Hello Guys,
I have a situation with my moms S7 (G930F), she told me it wasn't charging. On the screen i saw a battery icon with a red message "Custom binary locked by FPR". So i googled a bit and found a solution that a stock FW must be flashed.
Found a suitable FW (Israel) loaded into Odin and started to flash , but after few minutes it wrote "failed" for some reason. Gosh i don't know why , but possible i was touching the phone and USB was disconnected, not sure.
Well, i thought i do it again but the phone did not turn on or show any signs of life since. Can't enter recovery/download mode the screen is black, it' looks like won't charge as it doesn't get even slightly warm after few hrs of charging. Tried the USB JIG way a 300KOhm resistor between GNG<->ID pins, nothing.
So i think the FW was corrupted , but for sure samsung would leave a way to reflash it.
Can you help me guys, how can i fix it ?
EDIT: Ohh, noticed that the phone DO gets warm if connected to a computer via USB.
Thanks !

Ok so it needs to be charged first off without that you can't do anything. It's not unusual for it to charge via usb and not via the charger, it's just a case of trying a different charger and cable etc.
The soloution is to flash firmware as you have found out but it must be the correct firmware for the device and version. You cannot flash a firmware which is older than the firmware which is already on the device, you must check this.
You must also use Odin version 13 not 14. Version 14 has been casuing problems on older Samsungs like the S7.
Once charged you should always be able to boot into download if nothing else. If Odin fails read what the error says and post or at what point in the flashing process does it fail. We can then work out whats wrong.

Thanks for the reply , but how do i charge it ? When its connected to a computer it gets warm but does not charge obviously, because when i unplug it, it stays dead. Tried three different chargers none is charging, two cables as well.
