Moto G doesn't charge or power up

I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed so many times, but I couldn't find symptoms like the ones my Moto G has.
Two weeks ago, my Moto G reached out to 0% and shuted down. After that I've tried the following possible fixes:
Leave the phone out a day off the charger and then charging it for 3-4 hours or even all night long.
Pressing the power button for several minutes while connected to the wall charger.
Connecting it to several chargers (750, 1500 and 2000 mah).
Taking out the battery cover, disconnecting the battery flex and then reconnecting it.
A few things I noticed were that my phone came with a 450 mah charger in the box, and when I connect the phone, the LED light lits continuosly and it never goes off.
When I tried with 1500 and 2000 mah chargers, the LED lits too, and while pressing the power button, the LED light flashes one time after 2-3 minutes, and then flashes again after 5-6 minutes. But these flashes are very glimmer. And no matter what I do, the screen never lights up, and the LED light never goes off.
Please, I desperately need your help. I bought this phone two months ago and I've unlocked the bootloader, so I don't think warranty will cover the phone.
Thank you very much.

if you press power + vol down does the phone goes to recovery? i figured out that even if the phone does not boot you can go to recovery (or is it bootloader?) and than go to barcodes and press vol up. some codes will show up. after a min or so it will turn off. repeat this until the phone wont even boot to recovery. now plug it in the charger and hold power button for 2-3min and than leave it charging for an hour and than try to power it up. if it will not work try to unplug it and plug it in again after a minute and than hold the power button again for 2-3min and leave it charging for an hour again. i got my moto g booted after few tryes.
it seems that moto g wont charge until the battery is completely drained.

I'm sorry but the phone won't boot into bootloader mode neither. Are there any other recommendations? Thanks for your reply.
EDIT: I'll see if I can record a video of the phone's behavior. Maybe it could help.

I recently ran into this... I let my XT1032 battery deplete to 0% and then had a difficult time getting it to recharge.
When the phone was plugged in to any of these:
- my desktop PC
- powered USB hub
- game console USB port
it powered on briefly and showed the white screen with 0% battery indicator. The screen would then go blank and then after a few minutes the phone would boot successfully to my lock screen. However, it seemed to stop taking charge at this point and after a few minutes would shut itself down again. And the cycle would repeat.
I was able to get it to boot to the bootloader through normal means (Vol. Down + Power). But it behaved similarly in that it seemed to stop taking a charge and so after a few minutes it would power down as the battery ran out. And the cycle would repeat.
What finally worked for me was to use a different charger (and cable). I ended up using the charger that came with my tablet (Nexus 7) and the phone charged up the battery without issue -- I'm not sure whether the charging cable made a difference.
There's some discussion here:
http://androidforums.com/threads/moto-g-died-and-now-wont-charge.837568/
that suggests that when the phone hits 0% battery, it becomes fussy about the charger and that a high charging current is required or else the charging circuit shuts down.
My experience would support that theory. Seems a rather dumb design on Motorola's part...
Lesson here is to not let your device run down to 0%!

Nexus 5 boot looping after complete discharge

UK Nexus 5, recently OTA'd to 4.4.3, totally stock.
Forgot to put the phone on charge last night, found it dead this morning. Put it on charge for a bit, had to take it off charge to use it only for it to die shortly later. Plugged a usb cable in to charge, phone would loop and not boot properly. It would get to either the Google logo or the Nexus animation. Held vol- and the power button but couldn;t select 'Power Off' in time from the boot menu as it would just reboot itself.
Got home this evening, plugged in the proper charger. It looped for a while, but now I've got it to boot where I could choose to Power Off. It's now on charge where it started booting/looping again once, but is now sat charging properly. I'm not sure if all this weirdness is caused by the battery being drained completely. I'm suspicious of the power button. I banged the phone around the button in case it was stuck and blew around the edges just before it started stopping looping.
Any insight welcome.
Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]it's not the power button. I have had this happen to, I thought it was a bug in TWRP, it usually only happens when the battery is low, or wait a minute no it doesn't happen when the battery is low for me it happens when the phone gets warm because I've been flashing something over and over in TWRP.usually I leave it in TWRP for a little bit then when I hit power of it actually stays off as long as I'm not charging it. I am dictating this using voice to text hence the mistakes and forgiveness backspace delete backspace

Something I actually learned from paintball, a low battery makes technology go nuts. My Nexus 5 bootlooped with a low battery. It also said it stopped charging and basically acted like an overdramatic child with no cookies. After an hour on charge everything was good to go.

[Q] Device Not Charging

Hi Guys,
I have a tablet that my boss gave me today to 'fix'. The problem that it is having is that it isn't turning on, nor does it appear to be even charging. He said he used it until it was dead, then plugged it in overnight to charge, but when he tried it this morning, it wouldn't turn back on. I've had it for about two hours now, plugged into an outlet (the plug is a bulky black 2pronged adapter with samsung written on the side and I have a usb 3.0 plug). I tested the charger out on my Galaxy S5 and it started charging without any problems, so that tells me that the charger is working.
After 2 hours of supposedly charging, when I press power nothing happens. When I press the home button, nothing happens. I read on here that some were having really slow charging times, but I figured after two hours, there should be at least enough power to show the little batter logo on the screen during charging. Now, though, since that indicator doesn't even show up, I'm starting to think maybe I should just take it back to VZW. I was looking at the back of the device to see if it had a removable back cover and maybe resetting the battery would fix it, but I didn't see an indention where you can pull the cover off at (like on the note or my s5).
Any suggestions?

2 hour are not so much, if you used not the original charger. Let it on the charger for around 12 hour and try again - disconnect charger, reconnect again if you can see something...

Plug it in, keep the power button pressed for at least 30 seconds. See if that starts it up.

Hi.
You might try getting an usb volt- & ampere-meter off ebay. They're about 10 bucks or so.
It'll tell you if the tablet is drawing power at all.

Almost dead Nexus 5

Here's my little story. I dropped my N5 and cracked the screen. It worked, but I wanted it to be pretty again. So I bought a screen/case and proceeded to do the swap. I watched several videos, read guides, etc and followed them step-by-step. After it was done, I was surprised how smoothly everything went. I then went to power it up and got nothing. I checked all the cable connections, reseated them, and still got nothing. I put everything back with the cracked screen. Still nothing. I check the cables carefully, there are no cracks or breaks in them. I left it on the charger all night and the next day, checking periodically, still nothing. I checked the battery connector with a multimeter, and it was getting a reading off it, so the thing must be receiving power, right? Anyway, I gave up for a few days, busy with the rest of life.
I came back to it one day, plugged it into the charger and this time I got the red blinking light. I searched around, and that seems to indicate the battery had lost it's charge completely. Again I charged it overnight, still nothing. I got adventurous and removed the battery and tried powering it with just the power cable plugged in. This time it displayed the charge full battery/lightning icon. Success! I hit power and it starts to boot, displays the Google logo, then shut down after maybe five seconds. So, it must be getting power through the system from the USB port. The mainboard/cpu/screen works, it's able to start booting. It even boots to the bootloader, keys work there.
Again I turned to the problem being the battery. I picked up another, thinking perhaps mine had gone bad somehow even though I never had a bit of trouble out of it (about 1.5 years old). I played with it some more, with either battery inside, it doesn't do anything. Without a battery, it starts to boot but gives up. Hoping I could get something from the bootloader, I plugged it into my PC, but the USB port doesn't seem to provide enough juice to get it back to the bootloader with no battery.
Finally, during one of my tests, I plugged in the battery while it had the charging cable in. Then it popped up the battery charging animation. Exciting! It must be successfully charging, now. Previously, it didn't display anything when I charged it for many hours. Now it's been charging about six hours. The battery animation still shows it filling from the bottom, usually it would blink the animation from like halfway to the top, right? I hold the power button, and the battery animation disappears and it goes dead yet again. I run the same tests, battery in, battery out and get the same results. It boots when there's no battery and the charging cable in, nothing when the battery is in with or without the charging cable.
So, here I am stuck again. Any other ideas? Thanks.

[Q] [HELP] Moto G 1st Gen won't charge anymore

Hi all,
I had been lurking around here for a while. Let me give some background information. I had the Moto G 1st Gen for about 2 years now. A few months ago it suddenly soft bricked and I was able to get it working again after reading the posts here on how to load the firmware again. A few days ago it bricked again and I load up the firmware again. Until last night, it suddenly start lagging while I was using my apps. It took a while to load the UI as well. So I used some app and then exit out to the home screen, and let the screen lock by itself instead of me pressing the power button to close there were still 50% battery.
This morning I woke up to the battery drained out. I can no longer charge it. When I plug it in the outlet the LED light no longer flash 3x, it only flash 1x and that was it. I left it like that for half an hour and realize it's not charging at all (the plug is usually warm if it's charging). Power button trick didn't work, nothing worked. But the LED light does flash 1x every time I plug it in to wall charge. I know people say it need a higher voltage to get it powered up....I have been using a 5V-1A power output to charge my phone previously without problems. Usually when it drained out I plug it in, it will load to the white screen with a charging battery. Now it does nothing except just flash 1x when it detect the wall charger.
Anyone had this problem before and able to get it back up working? I'm afraid it's completely dead?
