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?

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!

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

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.
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.

Had battery issues so I drained it completely, and charged it to 100%
Will not boot, recovery, fastboot, nothing. no LED's light up, no buttons light up.
Only reaction is white LED flashes w/o battery in while plugged into wall.
and steady white LED when plugged into computer.
Is it really dead, after I did nothing?
I sorry friend ... but from what i have been reading .. i think your phone might be hard bricked
Someone please tell me how charging a phone can brick it. Im biting my tongue not going off on Motorola's BS crappy ass phones right now.
Please any insight would be great while I shop for a new phone.
Screw it. atrix bricked. Hated that phone anyways.
Bye Bye Motorola. You've lost a customer for life.
Hello HTC One S for 100 bucks.
Good luck guys.
if anyone needs a parts phone let me know.
I guess the battery is dead. Your phone is not hard bricked.

So, what happened between the time it charged to the time when I shut off and wouldn't reboot?
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

nothing, I pulled it off the charger, and immediately tried to turn it on. didnt work. then I started my diagnosing, by attempting to get into bootloader, connect to computer, wall, pull battery and attempt those again, and then I got white light.

Oh, I see. So you charged it while the phone was off then. That is weird. I've never heard of that before. I wonder if the battery is bad.

Yea, charged while off. started at 0%, checked about hour later was around 30%, another hour at 90, little later checked was at 100%. Pulled off and then the issue came.
Just got back from testing with voltmeter. got nothing outta it. no affect on meter at all. Ohms were still good which proves there was no short.
Im dumbfounded as to how it completely killed the battery while the phone stated it was charging.
Gonna get a new battery and go from there. Might sell it, might give it to mother. we'll see.
Thanks guys for getting me to attempt more after I gave up. but now its time to finish hacking the One S
White LED light means there is not enough battery juice to boot the phone.

Team Blackhat
Since you are in the US your best bet is to get factory programming adapter / cable from Team Black Hat (Google it) & you will mostly restore your phone to life ( I wish we could get it in India). Else if in warranty claim it (microwave trick maybe to get a claim if it black hat stuff doesnt work out.
From what I read of Black hat and also of my soft brick personal experience due to bmm logwrapper vs A2bootstrap issue I know for a fact that my battery had enough juice but my RSD failed at step 13 or 14 so I cant say fxz will always save a moto user and black hat also acknowledges this that sometimes the phone wont let you fxz and thats where their product is a life saver. Cant comment why your phone went kaput. Check it out bro. All the best.

The Mcgruvyer method has been around for long but I am not comfortable doing it lest fry my phone literally for good due to shoddy workmanship by myself. Also what I mentioned is a option which allows to fxz phone with no battery inserted physically,but good to receive additional info.

Yikes! That's good to know, thanks for the heads up. Muck you Fotorola, indeed.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
having same problem but mine gave white light right after i tried charging drained battery
I think some IC may be damaged on the motherboard. If you have a warranty then please take your phone to service centre.
Background information:
Oneplus 6 is rooted with magisk (but magisk hasn't been updated)
Able to charge and connect to pc as a Qualcomm modem

My Oneplus 6 phone randomly after charging went black and was stuck in a bootloop, after a while I was able to escape the bootloop. Shortly after the screen goes black and now I am prompted with "Battery is too low" screen. After trying many other things of trying to recover the phone, such as: Fully draining the battery then charging it again, charging it for over 24 hours, to "trickle" charging the phone. I wasn't able to bring the phone back.
I don't really know if it this is a battery coordination error or an actual battery error. My goal is to try to recover the phone with no data loss, I've been looking around other forms trying to see how to recover data using QFIL of writing the storage then writing it back to the phone. I have also purchased a 64gb Micro SD card in hope of being able to recover the data using TWRP which I do have on my phone, but I am not able to acess recovery mode, because I am stuck in the "battery too low" screen.
Any help is appreciated. My current last resort option would probably be trying to "unbrick" the phone using MSM downloader tool. My goal here is to try to reserve the data on my phone and be able to hopefully revive my phone, because I don't believe I am in a hard brick.
I had a sucessful operation using MSM tool upgrading the os with "enchilada_22_J.50_210121.ops" but is still stuck in battery is too low.
it may be a stupid solution but have you tried pressing the power button for a while?
another solution can be addressed in physically removing the battery for a while. You'll need the glue or the new adhesive tape at least

yes I have tried the first solution but I will try removing the battery, cause I was able to open my phone up
also do you mind linking me the page / link to where the person fixed it by removing the battery. I would like to try to follow his/her solution
From the photo you provided, your phone enters Emergency Download Mode (EDL mode)when connected to the computer so you may search for related data about EDL mode.

Oh yea, I've already went through and finished with that incase I was in a boot loop, behind the battery is too low screen. I was successful in flashing stock rom onto my phone but I am still stuck in the battery is too low screen.

Then I cannot help you much but to make sure the battery is not the problem, you may have to replace the battery.

Sorry i was busy with an exam.
I've had a similar issue on a Sony Xperia Z2 and a Sony Xperia Z3 and after disconnecting the battery I've managed to solve the problem.
the oneplus 6 it's simplier to disassemble but i would suggest you to change the battery as said by @LR7875, just in case.

Replaced the battery but the same problem still persists. I was searching online and appearently oneplus phones have a chip to lock the phone from charging. Is there any way to bypass this?

Usually using a low Ampere (<1A) charger would solve the issue. Leave the phone connected in charge for 1h and let us know.

I don't know what to say...
You can try this last thing...
1.Remove the battery.
2. Unplug anything from the phone.
3.Using a paperclip or something made out of metal connect the positive and the negative battery connectors ON THE PHONE for a few seconds.
4. Reconnect battery.
5. Reconnect 1A 5V adapter.
DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT THE BATTERY! IT CATCHES FIRE AND EXPLODES!

My Phone was charging for a second when connected to my pc, but this was during my time off of the PC. If I were to recall the events to the best of my knowledge. I believe my phone was just plugged in (old battery), for a long period of time (1-5 hours) then after I turned off my pc for about (2-4 hours) and when I turned it back on it was charging but stayed at only 1% and unable to restart or anything. I wanted to try to recreate this with the new bought battery installed but I was unable to recreate this. I believe this confirms your theory before of charging it with a low ampere for an extended amount of time.

Alright, so please do the following:
-Unplug the battery for 1h (it will allow condenser to discharge).
-Plug-in the battery (the new one)
-Plug in the low-amp charger for one night (8h or so)
You'll have to try many times: even changing the order of the last 2 passages however it's not recommended to plug the charger first but in my case it worked.
NB. If it starts charging let it plugged until reaches at least 20%, boot the phone and switch with a 1A charger then power it off with the 1A charger.
