Hello XDA Community and stuff,
i have a problem with my S7, which i flashed with Superman Rom a few weeks ago. It worked fine with all its functions, but this morning i woke up with my phone under my pillow. I guess its battery got completly drained out, because it was already low when i fell asleep. i tried charging it, but nothing happens. It also won't boot and the only thing that works, is Download mode. I tried Recovery mode, force reset, safe mode..... nothing works. I'm using TWRP recovery.
I would appreciate, if i could keep my app data, if not then i won't bother, since it can't be helped in my case, if there is no way of doing it without full wipe or anything.
PS: if my english is wrong or at any point not perfect, it may be because i am german.
with kind regards

I am so stupid! i meant Team Win. sorry misleading info
Try flashing TWRP again, if it doesn't work, flash stock and start fresh to make sure it's not a hardware fault

It worked, but why? it started charging with charging indicator (battery symbol and lightning in the middle with green LED on bottom) after the flash was succesfull. Then i detached it and connected my normal charging cable in wall socket. I had to wait for 1% charge and then i was able to boot normally into my rom. Is there any explanation for that?

Sounds like recovery corrupted, maybe due to the battery running out if it didn't manage to shut itself down in time

check it out i flashed a rom right and it didnt want to boot into recovery so i took the battery out and it never turned on again????
Plug it in let it charge a bit. If the orange light blinks four times and turns off, then you need to do a battery swap.
If it charges then let it charge boot unto recovery and restore your backup. I hope you made a backup.
Which Rom were you flashing?

Mate, you're really not helping yourself here. Can you please give a step-by-step of what you were trying to do and a bit more information as to what happened when it didn't go to plan?
e.g. I was trying to flash a new ROM. The ROM update completed successfully but upon rebooting it wouldn't turn on.
The above example gives a bit more insight as to the situation

Pop the battery out for about 10 minutes then put it back in and try charging the battery. Also try charging from a different power source like an AC adapter or via your computers USB port. If the battery light doesn't come on then your battery is most likely dead and you may need to find a replacement.

you said you didnt get any signal. dude you prolly didnt flashed the correct radios. some roms tells you witch radio you need before flashing the rom. not all the roms have the correct radios due of a lot of sensation worldwide. had you tried to go into fastboot at all by holding power and vol down at the same time.

Yes battery swap as I mentioned.
On a side note
Can anyone tell me why that is the only solution to the problem when the phone dies down like this
Thisy wife let's her phone die alllll the time and I constantly have to swap mine and her battery.
If you let the phone battery run down, it will not, I repeat WILL NOT boot back up out of recovery.
When I plug the charger in it just boot it right back into recovery, which we all know won't charge the battery.
Pull the battery, put battery back in, plug in the charger....boot right back into recovery.
Power off from recovery with charger still plugged in...boot right back up in recovery.
Reboot system from recovery...boot right back up in recovery.
No way to charge the battery without getting out of recovery first.
No way to boot out of recovery without enough juice in the battery.
I had to use the extended battery (spare) to boot up the phone and...well you guest it...to flash the "other" recovery to get it working normal again.
Thunderbolt
Miui
TWRP 2.3.1.0
Works fine on earlier version, if this is a false alarm, then please delete.
Update: After reading through a few forums, TWRP might be able to charge while in recovery. It doesn't work for me.
That's a +1 for 4ext. It let's you charge the battery in recovery.

Your phone should charge in the powered off state though.
Thought so too but I know for a fact that cwm boots you into recovery as soon as there is enough juice to boot. Then having the screen on starting what little there is left. I know because I dealt with that for a month before I realized that my stock battery finally took a drive and wasn't retaining a full charge anymore.

Its recovery 101 never mess with recovery unless you have a decent charge. You are just asking for trouble. I agree it makes 4ext look better because you can charge while in its recovery. If you let your phone die in recovery then you deserve it. Not to sound harsh but for the longest time when devs post roms they said make sure your battery is charged before flashing the rom. You think they was joking? lol
I remember having to do that with the Droid Eris.

I think what he means is, if you let your phone die normally, then plug it in to charge, it will boot to recovery. I had that happen to me when i first tried clockwork touch.
Sent from my Liquid ICS Bolt
Let me clear it up a bit.
If there's not enough juice in the battery to boot up the phone. If you push and hold the power button and nothing happen then you're screwed.
As soon as you plug in the charger, it will boot right to TWRP. you can not stop it from booting into TWRP, when you power it off from within TWRP it will boot right back into TWRP as long as the charger is connected.
Bottom Line:
If your battery went dead (under normal usage condition) and you don't have a good spare. You are SCREWED. This is a FATAL bug.
There's no way to charge a dead battery.
DarkJedi thinks that I'm in TWRP while the phone went dead. The answer is NO. The battery went dead under standby.

You're not understanding the post. This has nothing to do with messing with TWRP. Battery went dead under normal using condition, has nothing to do with recovery.

That's the problem, it will not power down out of TWRP, as soon as you plug in the charger it will boot right back into TWRP.
It has the same cwm bug there used to be. When you plug the phone in to charge it boots into recovery.

That's good to know, I had been using TWRP on my Thunderbolt so I guess it's time to switch back to 4ext, i just wish there was software keyboard support in 4ext.
Also with a note, I had this problem the op had when using TWRP on my Asus Transformer, actually strangely, while the recovery was installed it would not charge the device at all, not even when turned off. Once TWRP was taken off of it, and CWM back on, it charged properly. After using TWRP I can say for some reason this recovery has some serious game changing bugs.
EDIT: Also, "Boot Manager" doesn't seem to be compatible with restoring backups made with TWRP.
Give this build a shot and see if it fixes the charging:

No idea what your trouble with the Transformer were but charging on the Transformer isn't done in recovery and changing recovery wasn't the fix.
The Thunderbolt & most all HTC devices made after it use recovery for charging. There's a handful of HTC binaries & a special init.rc that make the device charge while turned off. None of this is part of the recovery code so it's not inherent to TWRP itself.

my port is busted so i cant test charging but the build does work

Hi!
I had installed cyannogenmod 12.1 on my device and it worked, then I went on to install another kernel eXPerience and that made my wifi and usb port on the phone to stop working. It only connects via fastboot but I can't get it to charge. (Tried the reboot loop thing, it just depletes the battery.) If I do get it to charge, I could reflash a working recovery, format cyannogen and use it to push a backup i made on my PC via bluetooth (ADB doesn't work.) Solutions?
If it connects in bootloader mode then I think your phone should be charging simultaneously
If not try using different charger or cable.

Tried, it doesn't, powers off and won't boot afterwards (Only tried this with 2 cables, but somehow the battery magically gains a small amount of charge the next day.

So it seems either the battery is not working properly or the charging pin I is damaged recommend you to go to the mobile repairing shops.

It's cause I changed the kernel I think, I believe the hardware's fine
lost101 Yea I tried that too - in 2 whole days it got a small amount of charge enough to boot into fastboot but shuts off if I load the OS or recovery.

It could be the kernel, drivers, rom. Go back to stock rom, do a total wipe.

Did, but it's on my PC, and I can't transfer it(except via bluetooth, which will take really long). Battery's at 0% now so no.
I ve read that for someone work to turning it on in boot mode then plugging into computer
After my phone bricked I installed latest Chinese Stable ROM in EDL mode. I chose EDL mode for two reasons (1. I suspected that the phone only works while plugged in to charge and 2. the EDL mode turns off the phone after flashing so I can plug in the charger before booting). Turns out I was right. After the flash was over I tried to boot it without charging it first and it didn't work. After I connected it to the charger it booted normally and the ROM installed successfully.
I tried it again this morning after it fully charged. Few seconds after Ii disconnected it, it turned off. When I tried to turn it back on it was just rebooting to the MI logo screen. I plugged it in the charger and it rebooted 2 times (both times it got to those three dots at the bottom of the screen) and the third time it booted normally.
I also just noticed that the phone is curved a bit (maybe less than 1mm difference between upper left edge and rest of them), maybe from wearing it in tight pockets or something like that.
I think your battery might be dead. Try checking the voltage or the quality.
Replaceable batteries are pretty cheap.
Trimis de pe al meu Mi-4c folosind Tapatalk
Might be faulty battery, might be bad kernel, might be anything. Best way to check is to try to flash latest dev china rom via fastboot, if it still doesn't work try flashing stable 5.1.1 rom, again, via fastboot. If none of the solutions above doesnt work might be bad battery or worse, the controller on mobo died.

Well I hope it's a battery, because I just bought one to replace it. What is that mobo controller? Is it replaceable?
I have the same issue,
Battery replacement and stock rom of android 7 didn't help
I'm afraid is another hardware issue /:
I do have a similar problem, flashed xiaomi.eu and something have been broken.
I dont know how and why but its very strange.
Unplugged from supply i can boot up the phone, can see the miui logo and boot into fastboot but NOT into recovery and not boot up os.
As soon as i plug in supply it works quit normally, can boot up everything seems to be working, booting into twrp and flashing rom. No problem at all.
If i unplug while running os it imediately shut down.
The battery bar inside twrp show strange jumps.
What happens did somehting break ? Id like to gift the phone my mother for christmas.

Good morning.
I have this honor 6x BLN-L21.
I did unlock with Multi-tool.
the procedure was successful but then the phone was stuck in
"your device is botting now..."
I tried the dload method.
then try to download the whole battery and try to go fastboot.
but nothing done ...
the pc does not recognize anything.
I also tried the low audio button method and plug the usb cable into the pc ... nothing.
I do not know what to do.
Help !!!
Hi !
Did you try to install recovery with mutli tool ? If yes, wich TWRP version did you try to install ?
For me the only one correct recovery version was the twrp-3.1.0-2-berlin.img !
My phone stay stuck with every others versions !
This page saved me --> https://www.******.com/root-huawei-gr5-2017-emui-5-0-install-twrp/
but I had to go back to stock rom first with the dload method by pasting the dlload update.app files on my SD card directly from the pc and putting my card back into the phone.

Hold volume down and plug usb cable to boot in bootloader
Or
Download full firmware using firmware finder and place update.app in dload folder on sd card boot phone holding volume up,down & power button simultaneously
i put device in test mode end recovery work.
But ... system not write.
why ?
I finaly found a solution.
But use a not conventional metod.

what is that solution??and test point??...got the same problem...phone stuck at your device is booting and nothing works...no recovery...no fastboot....phone discharged....
I've got anorher solution:
Wait until battery is down, then charge it only enough it boot( then you get the battery empty faste if you have to do it twice) now do a normal boot. Dont try any combinations or keys! Now you should boot into emui. If it worked download the official rollback package, put it on your sdcard into /dload folder. Fully charge your phone (or at least 30% otherwise it wont install because it says battery level is to low... )shutdown your phone. Now hold power button, volume up and volume down your phone will boot to the your phone got unlocked screen then it will reboot, keep the buttons pressed for a second then release, now it should flash the rollback package and reboot, after that you can flash emui 4. After that you can perform the emui 5 update. Now it should be safe to reboot to fastboot and relock the bootloader again if the system hasent done it automaticaly.
Now you should be able to reunlock bootloader!
My problem is that battery doesn't charge as it always boot on your device is booting... I left it charge all night but same problem... Your device is booting screen and no charging so I can't do anything

How do you Know its not charging? Does it shows the charching screen? Cause i had this problem too, and at least in my case this problem caused enough battery consumption to empty the Battery in a night. So mabye something is wrong with the sensor? Or does it even shows the charching screen, because sometimes it has to boot some things (wich means it gets stuck at your device is booting) before it can show you the charching screen...

It shows charging screen when i plug but led is flashing all time... And it boots a few moment later directly on your device is booting screen as if u enter stock or twrp recovery but stays stuck at this screen and led still flashing so no charging
But does the phone turns black and acts like battery is completly down? Means black screen dosent react to anything No Led? Because mavye you tust got an error with the led or something like this, because this freeze is consuming really much energy if you already have this problem since two days whitout charging and it freezes on this screen battery would be completely empty! If it shows device is booting ALL the time it has to charge. If it turns black after showing the screen then its mabye really not charging...
