[Q] Erased boot partition and system with low battery - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok guys, i'm in trouble trying to fix this great mistake. I'm new in android programming, and i bricked my device a few times, but i managed to fix it out. But that time, i was trying to reinstall Cyanogenmod 12.1 on my device. It was working well, but i had to flash an app, and it bootlooped. I forgot that i had only about 16% of battery. In adb, fastboot mode, i erased /system and /boot, but when i tried to flash the boot.img, it haven't worked, because in the device blocks from flashing with low battery. So, im trying the .bat method now, trying to charge it, and the method of plugging in wall charger and connect to pc don't worked, because i disconnect, with "Battery OK" and when i connect in USB, it changed to "Battery Low (Charging)". But now, in wall charger, i didn't get even the "Battery OK". Today i noted that when i connected in USB, the "Battery icon" appeared with 0% , and the screen gone off. Initiates, and deactivated very fast. When i try to initiate device, the "Motorola" logo appears very fast before it go to the fastboot. I really dont know what to do, and i dont have the tools to open my Moto G, and i have no idea of where to find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
PS.: Sorry by my english, i'm from Brazil.
PS²: Sorry if i don't have posted in the right place. It's my first topic.

Ok Guys, i've simply opened the phone and connected the battery to an old charger, and waited a few minutes until it had enough charge to reflash partitions. Thanks anyway, guys!

ok serious help, phone will not boot up

ok, tried doing the official ota update about 2 days ago, but once it tried doing the update, my phone gets stuck at the (M) logo.
I cannot boot it up in anyway possible, and my battery is dead so i cant start it up while plugged in USB, but if its plugged into the wall itll start up and im able to get into boot loader etc...
ive tried putting a recovery img on root of sd card and applying as an update.zip file and getting an sdcard error status 7.
my phone was never rooted, all stock. any help>
power off your phone, plug it into wall charger and let it charge up. while its charging up download a 2.1 sbf,
SHOLS_U2_02.31.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B805C.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00RTEU_P042_A005_HWp2a_1FF.sbf.gz (google it)
Then download RSD Lite (google it)
Then when your phone is charged boot into bootloader (hold up on keyboard and press power button)
connect to pc via usb, open rsd lite, make sure phone shows up connected, load sbf you downloaded and press start and let it do its thing.
should bring you back to stock 2.1.
hope this helps
well thats the thing, ive let it sit plugged into a wallcharger for hours upon hours, the secon i plug it in, it turns on by itsself and sits at the moto M screen, and once i unplug it i cant do that.
i am able to get it to the screen where you can wipe/data factory reset, wipe cache, reboot and apply update.zip. if i had an update file, and i did a wipe and flashed it, would that fix it? because ive tried that, but idk if its the wrong file or what, but i get a sdcard error. like status 7 on the verification step
also on getting the batt charged, i noticed when plugged into a wall screen lights up with M logo. and when i plug into computer with usb, the white light next to charger lights up?

.i want to reflash but rsd lite cannot detect my milestonext720...how ?..FYI b4 this i run adb on same pc...but it can run...all driver for motorola hav installed ..ill use rsd lite 4.5.3
well the problem is my phone wont charge, it wont charge in wall or usb, when i plug into wall phone auto starts and just sits at (M). idk if it charges in bootloader mode? or in recovery? not sure

I actually had this problem myself fairly recently. I was able to partially insert the plug into my phone until the LED turned on, but not far enough to where the Motorola logo turned on. It'll either try to fall out or plug further in, so I recommend placing it on a surface which won't have much disturbance.
After about an hour, you should have sufficient charge to mess around with the software and flash a new SBF by the bootloader, or reflash a backup through recovery. I wouldn't recommend leaving it plugged in too long like this, because it might not be very good for the phone's health.

umm .. what's about charging the battery with another phone or external charger and put it back to ur phone?
i have just the same issue ... i am sure that the battery is fully charged, cause ive charged it with another milestone ... but that one simply won't turn on ... tried different combinations of sd/simcard/battery on and off .. still the same ... Any help would be highly appreciated.
pull out the battery get back and push d-pad UP and power buttons before M logo came up. so you can flash a sbf file with rsd-lite._a

[Q] Xt925 fido problem

Hello all, this is my first real post here,
and I hate to say that I have a problem! First off let me say, I have trolled(and found MANY fixes here) and never had to sign up, because anything I needed was in the search menu!! which let me say is Awesome...
However i have a different problem this time, lol
I recieved my OTA of JB, I was rooted, after following a few steps, I unrooted and was able to update to JB, I rooted again, and somehow or another, I ended up back on ICS,(I found this VERY VERY weird) didn't think this was possible, but it happened after a few flashes.
Anyways today, I plug my phone into my pc,(after a few weeks of it working properly) to upload some pictures, it automatically started to flash, I unplug, reboot(which works most of the time) however NOT this time,
I have the following on my screen
AP Fastboot Flash Mode(S)
10.98(*)(sha-56608bc, 2012-11-23 and time)
eMMC Info:size 16gb
Device is LOCKED, Status Code:0
Battery Low
Transfer Mode: USB Connected
Partition(boot) Security Version Downgraded
Fastboot Reason : Boot Failure
usb connected
I have tried to load a 3rd party xml file aquired from this site, when loading I can get into the other screen which allows me to wipe data etc. but still nothing, Also tried to just let it run its course and nothing..
Officially I am a N00b and I would like some help
The third party file, gives me the error(rsd lite 6.1.4) flash fail
Now I cannot find much info on this, and am Kinda in a bind. Any help is appreciated and I will gladly take the n00b comments with it as I realize this is my own fault..lol
update: when I boot my phone OFF of usb cord, I get fastboot reason: sticky bit factory_fastboot at the bottom now, wtf is this? lol

1) Don't use the fastboot files from here just yet... they are unofficial right now. I'm working on something better.
2) Your battery is low, you should get a factory cable or factory adapter. Look it up...

I seen that it was low, switched back to my wall plug and I don't know if its charging or what, but now battery is OK, weird.
Ok, I will hold off, but from what you see , does this seem fixable? I love the phone, and if its a brick, then I may be a lil heart broken but lesson learned for sure. lol

[Q] Nexus 5 shuts down after booting

Hey guys, I´m new here,
and I have a problem with my Nexus 5.
Today, I took it out of my pocket, and it was turned off. I don´t know why, it charged over night,
So I tried to boot it normally, and it worked. But upon reaching the pin screen for the sim card, a message popped up: Power off, shutting down.
I tried some more time, with and without sim, on the charger, and without, I even resetet it to the factory setting through the bootloader.
All these attempts did not work. My phone is on stock, and it´s unrooted.
What can I try to get it working again?
Cheers,
Timo
My first guess is that the plug was not fully inserted into the socket on the phone so that it discharged all night to zero. When that happens, I've found that you need to plug in the charger and leave it alone for a half hour before you will see any sign that it is in fact charging.

Thanks for the answer.
Had it at the charger for like 3-4 hours now, nothing changed...In the short time, I´m able to see the battery indicator it shows the battery on half load together with the sign that it´s loading.
Does the phone load on the bootloader screen?
Cheers,
Timo
Yup, the phone can charge even on bootloader.
Did you unlock the bootloader (and flashed a custom recovery) on the phone ? You should try to backup all data (recovery -> mount and storage -> mount usb, then connect to a comptuter using a usb cable) and to flash another rom/ fastboot and flash the original firmware

Nope, I did not unlock the bootloader. I will try to charge it at the bootloader over night, and I´ll see what happens.

Phone just died & doesn't boot after reset/re-installing stock Rom

Hi Guys,
my phone is dead and i have no clue what the issue is.
My S6 just turned off out of nowhere and can't be switched on anymore. It will only show the charge sign for a few seconds after plugin in and then stops/screen turns off. It can't be started at all.
I bought a new battery but don't think this is the problem. i haven't installed it yet, as something else might be broken.
The phone won't turn on when connected to the usb from the laptop, but i can get it into recovery mode as long as it is connected and install a new firmware.
If i unplug the usb in recovery mode, the phone switches off right away so that might be a power issue.
Once i install a new factory rom through Odin, the black/white Samsung boot screen comes on, then the blue installing screen that counts up the installation percentage, and then the phone turns off around 2-6% and says erasing. Then the phone is completely dead again and i can only get a screen picture by entering recovery mode.
What can it be? Any ideas/suggestions?
i attached some picture and a video of the start up in the .zip file, as i can't upload .mp4.
Thanks
Smiler51
I also don't have a boot-loop or something where the phone continuously reboots.
Maybe something related to the memory of the phone?
try flashing firmware with "NAND Erase All" under Options in Odin, this will wipe /data/ partition, if you get stuck in a blank screen reboot in recovery mode and perform a Factory reset to recreate/format the /data/ partition again.

Thanks a lot for that tip.
I tried that and the blue installing screen that counts up the installation percentage doesn't stop at 2-6%, but it stops at 26-32% now, then says erasing, reboots into the same blue installation screen and then turns off.
When i unplug the cable, the phone immediately turns off, so there must be some battery issue as well. Not sure if this is related in any way. I can't get into recovery when only running on battery without a USB cable connected.
Anymore ideas what i could try or it could be?
I think, that because of battery your phone died while flashing in Odin and that's why you can't flash anything now

The phone is connected to the USB though. Wouldn't that provide enough juice to power the phone while flashing?
I can install the new battery i bought but if that is not the reason, i can't return it anymore.
Does the USB provide enough power when flashing?

This is 99% a dead battery, try replacing it. If you have enough time to disconnect and connect to your Wall charger you could try that.
Usb is not enough to keep the phone on, neither charge the battery at the same time

Worst case scenario ****up, need help badly :(

After 8 years of tinkering with Android phones I have no clue how this happened.
PIXEL 2 (Walleye, non-xl)
Tried getting TWRP and ElementalX working but either one or both weren't doing there thing, though I could at least boot and use my phone normally. Finally ended in a situation where I couldn't boot passed fastboot with an error at the bottom "ERROR: LoadImageAndAuth Failed: Load Error". Found a fix that said to change the active partition. Set it to b and that worked and surprise it loads TWRP...so somehow TWRP was installed, but I can't actually load Android.
Grabbed the latest factory image and manually flashed all the files in the zip-within-the-zip. Everything flashed with no hiccups so I rebooted to bootloader with the intention to then reboot the system, and now this is happening:
TLDR Phone won't turn on. Holding PWR+VolDown SEEMS to do nothing, but it actually flashes a line on the screen like it's trying to load something for a milisecond, then does nothing. Holding PWR+VolUp does nothing. Holding PWR+VolUp+VolDown does the same screen flash followed by the notification LED blinking red 2 or 3 times. Please help!
EDIT: if it matters, the phone is about 50% battery and currently still on judging purely by the fact that it's been warm for about an hour.
sorry for your troubles, i have yet to see this with our phones. Just to get some more information, what happens when you try and charge it? If you plug your phone in to a computer via USB, does it show up in devices? If it shows in devices, can you run platform-tools and see if it shows up via fastboot devices with an ID? If you can connect to fastboot, you could attempt to flash images that way.

Nothing happens if I plug into the computer, no sound and not listed in devices. Plugging it in to the charger does nothing except possibly charges it, but I wouldn't know because the screen doesn't seem to be able to turn on for more than a milisecond of a flash.
I had this same problem when I flashed Elemental X kernel over top of the flash kernel and all I did was use the flash-all script that is included with the system image from google. This got me back to my OS where I flashed elemental and magisk. Do you have insurance through your provider?
