Hey all,
First time I've posted here as I can't find anything on the internet regarding this issue.
My phone is not rooted and on stock rom I (stupidly!) changed the runtime mode to ART when reading an article on how to extend battery life. I did this and then since doing that my phone won't start up and when plugged in to an outlet or a PC the usual battery icon comes on and then drops out after a few seconds, and then comes on again, and then drops out and it just keeps on doing this.
Theres a youtube video available but I can't post a link here because I'm a new user.
When the phone is plugged in to a PC it doesn't recognise the device as the power just keeps dropping out so I can't flash stock ROMS and I can't get to recovery to reflash the phone to factory settings (it just turns off)
Any genius out there to help with this?! Much appreciated

I can get to the bootloader by pressing volume down and the power button and that comes up fine, when I choose START or RECOVERY it just turns off.

Hi Lethargy, Thanks for posting so quickly, unfortunately I can't flash the factory images because when I connect the phone to a PC it doesn't pick up anythings connected because the battery just keeps dropping in and then dropping out every 5 seconds so the computer views it as not connected.

Be more specific please. Does it reboot out of bootloader, every 5 seconds, disconnect from your PC every 5 seconds, or..? Are you sure it isn't a driver issue?

When I get to bootloader I can select an option, it doesn't reboot out of bootloader every 5 seconds, the bootloader screen is absolutely fine once I get to it, when I click at option from the bootloader screen that's when it doesn't complete that action a message saying "Google" appears (the loading screen) and then the phone turns off.
I need to have the phone plugged in to get to bootloader, if I try without the power cable nothing happens.
Whether it is attached to a PC or a power outlet the same thing happens: battery icon comes up for 5 seconds, then it disappears for 5 seconds, then it comes on for 5 seconds, disappears for 5 seconds.
Any more info needed? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean since those statements are a little conflicting.

Lets check your battery level to make sure it is not gone bad or got deplated. Make sure your phone is off. Hold down volume_up key while you connect the phone to the pc. You should see the download mode screen after that you should see a next screen with the text "firmware update". Underneath that text in a textbox with white border you should see 3 characters. A "B" letter and 2 numeral. "B" means battery the two numeral means the battery level.
For example you see: B23 it means battery level is at 23%
Report me your battery level.
To restart your phone just hold down the power key for 10-15 secs
Thanks

Hi Bitdomo, when I do as you ask I can't enter download mode because it has a connection to my PC for 5 seconds and then turns off, then has a connection and then turns off.
If you go to you tube .com and then follow it with watch?v=ad7KDWp2y-8 you'll see the exact issue I'm having when connecting to a PC or on my computer (I can't paste links as I'm a new user so forgive me.) Thank you for looking into this.
Thanks

You don't need to select any option to flash the factory images with fastboot, you just need to be in the bootloader. Read the thread I linked.

Hey all, just wanted to say to everyone thats posted in this forum so far THANK YOU for your help. For the people that have found this forum and are having the same problem with their Nexus 5 you need to replace the battery and everything will work fine so it was a hardware issue this one.
As soon as I replaced the battery I could access Recovery and just reset the device with no problems.

Ok when I leave it there to charge after about 5 minutes it tries to boot up again on its own... its like a boot loop but it stays turned off for about 5 mins in between.
Now I believe its officially stuck at the CM logo screen after the data only back up and restore. It stopped turning off which I think was due to battery and when I plugged it into the PC it turned on and has been at the CM logo screen for about an hour now.
It also refuses to boot into recovery now. Stock or Open Recovery. It only shows the green charging LED and when I do a force shut down it blinks on and back on in about 1 second. I have no clue what the deal is. I'm going to try and flash a stock image with RSD Lite and try it all again.

Your battery is empty. You can't flash anything via fastboot in such state.
When the battery is empty while starting the phone, the bootloader charges it a bit first (that green LED). Only when the battery is charged a little, it switches to boot.
What you want to do is to catch the moment when it starts to boot and hold the volume-up to get to OpenRecovery. OR supports charging so you can let the battery charge more there.

Thank you again for your responses.
I was thinking along those lines... But it seems like as soon as it gets a charge that it goes right into the boot logo. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground to go to any recovery mode. I was stuck in a similar situation before but it wasn't constantly trying to boot.
Here is what happened:
When I flashed data only, I selected "reboot after" option so it is constantly trying to do that re-boot but since it cant boot it stays at the CM logo I guess until the phone dies. Then it charges for a while with the green LED and then it tries to boot again. I have tried to access all kinds of recovery and fastboot and everything at the usual intervals and I cant get it to start any recovery mode because it is still following the re-boot command from Open Recovery.
I will keep trying but this time seems different than when I had low battery/no recovery in the past instances. Something is overriding my recovery and I think it has to do with the Open Recovery reboot after flashing command.... I even opened up the back of the phone and disconnected the battery and its still not working.

I got fastboot working by plugging the phone into a dedicated AC power charger, not one with a USB adapter. Then I let it sit on the boot screen for a couple hours. This way it fully charged the battery and I could bring up fastboot.
What was happening with the USB adapter was that it would try to boot, die, and refuse to go to fastboot, over and over again. I would not have got it working without a dedicated AC power charger.
That literally happened to me a few days ago. Fastboot will say a warning on the screen, somewhere around the middle, "Battery Low" or something along those lines, I paid it no attention, as I knew it was plugged in and should've been charging through my processes. Well, the battery has to be at least 50%+ charged before fastboot will allow any connectivity or communication with ADB or Fastboot on pc. Facepalm.
Always double check battery charge at least 60% or more to be in the safe side, or you risk to soft-brick to even hard-brick your phone.
Plz sugeest me how to go about this.
I recently looking into one app and the phone restarted with white screen with bright keys. Screen is not displaying anything.
Plz help me.
I pressed power key for more than 2 mins, it is not even restarting ...

explain the current condition of your device, is it charged? how much battery do you think it have?
Here are some simple steps you can try:
1. leave the device as is(if it is ON) or use it as much as you can till it's battery drains properly and shuts down on its own.
2. try to turn it ON by holding the power button.
3. if it turns ON, use it till it is not able to turn on(0% battery).
4. plug the charger in and see how it behaves.
5. if its charging, then let it charge to 20-30 percent and then reboot to recovery,
6. Reset your device(wipe data).
7. if it is not charging, then its a hardware issue, can be on charger's part, or in phone itself, try a new charger that is known to work.
8. if its not the charger, I'm afraid you'd need to get it checked by some repair person.

Hey Guys, sorry for my bad english, i'm from Germany^^
I have a problem... My Pixel is dead. :/
I have try to install a Custom ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/development/rom-aquarios-8-1-0-live-support-volte-t3768174 via TWRP 3.2.2.0..
1. Bootloader Unlock
2. Booting TWRP/ Installing TWRP
3. Wipe Cache and Factory Reset
4. Flash AquariOS.ZIP via ADB Sideload
5. Reboot -> Dead
No Bootloader/ Fastboot mode reachable. Only the Battery Symbol shows, when i plugged the Phone via USB to the Computer/ Charger.
Before that, Android 10 Stock was installed. The Custom ROM Based on Android 9.0.
The Device is not recognized by the computer.. I really do not know anymore.
Is my Pixel now an expensive paperweight?
If more information is needed, please let me know.
Hope someone can help me^^
Thanks.
What happens when you press Vol. Up + Vol. Down + Power Button all at the same time? Hold them for a minute or two it should hard reset the phone.

But after 30 Seconds the Phone vibrating. ...turns on, off, on off...
The battery seems to be discharged. Must connect the cell phone to the charger after a short time.

Charge the phone first and try once again. I think it's just the battery. The fact that it vibrates when you press the 3 buttons means the phone is still alive. [the red LED means the battery is fully discharge]
Note: Release the buttons once it vibrates

Hi guys, I can’t seem to find this anywhere on the forums.
I’ve inherited a Samsung J4 Core for a work mobile. It currently doesn’t turn on properly, but I know there is charge.
When I hold down the power button + Up & Down keys, this should boot into the Bootloader. My issue is that it boots up, but then quickly shuts down after a brief blue screen with what looks like a yellow triangle and the laying down Android robot.
Being as I can’t access the Bootloader, it doesn’t appear I can wipe/clear the rom properly. Does anyone know a work around as I obviously need this for a work mobile.
Thanks.

Download mode is Power + VOL down + VOL UP with USB cable plugged in.
The blue screen you are talking about is recovery mode. If it shuts off like you say the battery is completely flat.

It's bizarre as I've had the phone charging via the normal wall charger overnight and it still has the same results. Likewise with your above method with all the keys held down I'm still getting the same error. I'm now at a point where I haven't a clue what to do.

If you don't see the charging symbol it won't charge in this state.
The only method I know is to boot it to the download mode confirmation screen and leave it in that state while charging it overnight (may even take longer). There will be no charging notification.
Once it has at least 1% charge it should be possible to boot to Recovery mode with the USB cable attached and charge it properly.

Everything. Using the method to get into the download mode itself, the phone turns on and for a brief moment a blue screen flashes with the yellow warning triangle and some, what I presume, error messages and the phone turns off.
Hello! I could not find a section for my phone, so I am posting here.
My Zenfone 5 Selfie/Lite (ZC600KL) randomly "bricked". After being left alone charging for 20 minutes, when I came back it was turned off. Holding the power button resulted in the phone showing the "Powered by Android" logo, then the ASUS logo, and stop there.
I don't think it's a battery issue as it always lasted a long period of time; this is the first time anything like that happens, and might be the last. I also never tried meddling with my phone (rooting or the likes of it), so I'm pretty much clueless. I messed around with the phone, turning it on and off for a while, letting it run out of battery and charge it again, leaving it stuck on ASUS logo over night, to no avail.
Here are some things that I noticed that might help solve this problem:
1. After I connect the charger, the screen shows an empty charging battery along with the LED showing the red color (which means no battery). After 5 seconds, the screen turns on again by itself to show the true state of the battery, which is whatever % it is right now and the correct LED light (orange/green).
2. Turning on the phone makes the "low battery" buzz followed by a normal vibration. If it's charging, the "No battery" red LED shows.
3. I can turn on the fastboot mode by pressing Volume + and Power, but it only shows "CSC Fastboot mode!!! Long press power key to shutdown device". While on fastboot, my computer recognizes the phone is connected through USB, but I cannot access the phone's storage.
4. Pressing Volume - and Power does nothing besides restarting the phone.
My english isn't the best, so I apologize. If there's anything that I messed up and you can't understand, please do tell me.
P.S: Zenfone 5 Selfie is the same phone as Zenfone 5 Lite, but it is known by both names for some reason. Thanks for reading.

Exactly the same problem and phone I have here and Google research has been useless plus it appears this model phone has many firmware versions also
I have tried flashing firmware in fastboot mode but the ADB and fastboot tools won't work as it shows write protected as it appears bootloader is locked and am struggling with QPST also got so desperate to get phone working I even checked out some of those android repair software like DR fone then realised they want $70 USD and instantly removed the software haha
Hope we can get answers but seems like that maybe no one has solutions for this
