So, to start I was doing research on doing mods and such on this device. Left it alone for a couple of weeks to come back to a dead velvet. Starting this discussion in regards to others experiences. My velvet was basically stock with no modifications after my initial findings. Went back to my main device. Had to do a warranty exchange. First time I had a device die on its own, no charging, no signs of life when plugged in to a PC.

First off let me say I'm not responsible for anything that you do to your phone.
Well I decided for reasons i won't get into I decided to purposely brick my phone. I ran the 2.1 ruu and while it was sending the radio I pulled the plug and battery. Brick. Nothing came on so after about three hours of shenanigans dealing with other folks I came home and thought of something I put the battery back in turned it on but it didn't come on then pulled the battery put it back in then pushed the volume up key and power. Nothing. At that point I plugged it in and to my computer and started to run the ruu. Don't know why but I pulled it out again and and for a split second I saw something. (JOY! HOPE!) So I started the ruu all over again and wouldn't you know it, it ran all the way through. Phone unbricked.
I will later post up a link as well when I get back from school if your too lazy to search on proof from another guy that you can't brick your phone just by running the wrong radio or rom. Actually here is the link
I have no idea why anyone would purposely brick thier phone but this is great news, thanks!
Are you sure you weren't just stuck in fastboot? If so that's not bricked.
Dear xda
On the 23th of December my phone ran out of battery % . So it was at 0%. I couldn't charge it until the day after. On the 24th when i put the phone in the original wall charger, It gave me the warning that I had to let it charge for a while before power on. I left it alone for about two hours, after that I pulled it out to see if it turned on, because I needed my phone, but nothing came out of it, I plugged it back in, and still nothing, not even a vibrate nor the warning message of the low battery level...
The phone was dead to my concern after Goolging a little and looking into the forums, I saw two persons with the same issue as me.
The first person () solved it leaving it 24h for nothing so the battery could rest for a while and yesterday evening (after leaving it for +- 25h)I plugged it in but nothing showed up, not even the warning message, as mentioned before, but with still good hope I left the phone charge overnight, but this morning, still nothing out of the phone.
The second person (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus-one-battery-dead-issue-solved.41777/) I was talking about had a more drastic solution, he opened up his phone, unscrewed the motherboard plate, disconnected the battery and reconnected it. This morning I was prepared to do it, but when I removed the back cover of my phone I saw the screws, but also the sticker and the rubbers (with behind them I assume more screws?), but since you first have to remove the rubbers and the sticker to unscrew those screws I am affraid I will lose warranty....
Can you please help me out, because I would love to use my beloved Oneplus again.
Do you have other possible solutions/fixes? Can I remove the sticker and the rubbers WITHOUT LOSING WARRANTY?
Sincerely Greetings

P.S. : My phone is Rooted, Unlocked and has Stock CM12 (but I don't see any problems here because, that does not void any warranty ), but nothing special was flashed or done to the phone right before the problems showed up, I mostly think of a faulty battery, or dead battery.
I posted this also on oneplus forums, but more help is alwaya appreciated
Here is the link : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ging-not-vibrating-no-warning-message.216124/
I solved this issue, hope it can help in the future other OPO users
The actual win that revived my phone was:
- Let it charge for at LEAST 24h
- Don't ever touch or try to power on during the 24h (this is very important! This was the hardest part for me not touching it )
- Unplug the phone (still don't try powering it on!!!)
- Leave it for about 12h (no powering on! )
- Plug it back in (This was the first time I saw anything on my dead OnePlus, I got the warning battery level low)
- I left it alone for about 2h (NOT touching it)
- Then powering it on, it gave me about 56 percent of battery.
I think the most important thing is that you don't touch it so it does not try making a full electrical circuit.

Hello,
I went out last Friday and came home late. My phone is out of battery and dead. I plugged it in and woke up the next day with a dead phone. Apparently, there is a bug with the OPO. If the battery is too low, it won't even charge after you plug it in for charging. I have tried all tricks and even contact the OPO Tech Support Team. This thread describes how horrible they are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tech-support-onepluse-one-horrible-t3084022
I am at my wit's end. I have tried all the the tricks. This is a thread that I found that seems to have the same problem as I have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/oneplusone-phone-dead-t3079256
The only choice I have left is to open the phone, disconnect the battery connection and reconnection it again. Hoping it will recharge. However, there is a warranty sticker and I don't want OPO to deny my warranty. I am not new to Android and I have fixed phones before. I also think of buying a new OPO battery and switch it with the factory one. Since the new battery will be charged, I think that will work in fixing it. But, doing that is much more complicate and it requires me to remove more components. If you have a good working solution for my problem, please help.
NOTE: please don't ask me to check my charger or use a different one. I check it 1000 times already. The original charger works, the cable works. I use different chargers and cables. Same result.
Thank you for your help.
Have you rooted and unlocked? I had the same problem when I got mine at first. It would show charging but never fully charge. 73% was all it would do. So after rooting and flashing a custom kernel the problem went away. Now I can go back to stock and the problem has never comeback. Maybe just a small software glitch or something. I'm just happy it's gone!

The phone is unlocked and rooted. The issue is not fully charged or not. The issue here is the phone does not charge after the battery die. The phone is dead because I let the battery run to 0. When I plug it to recharge, the low battery screen does not even come up. The phone is dead and refuse to recharge. There is no issue with the charger or the charging cable. I have checked it several time already. I am very frustrated with OPO Tech Support right now.
I see. Only other thing I can think of is try holding the power button for 60 seconds while it's plugged in. That does suck man.
I had similar issue, my conclusion is the bootloader charging function is broken.
Basically I would start the charging, it would charge for about 10 seconds or so, and then stop. I thought my battery was dead.
I couldnt boot the os as wasnt enough charge.
So eventually I just kept repeating the process, 10 seconds charge at a time, and eventually had enough juice to boot android and after that point it charged to full ok.
Never had this issue on any of my samsung phones.
Also to point out when it went dead it was plugged into my pc usb at the time with twrp loaded.
Hi there!
So here's the story - this morning I woke up to find that my one month old Huawei G620s (stock, no root or anything) is not working anymore. Just before I went to bed, I set the alarms and left it charging next to my bed with 46% battery. Everything was fine. But when I woke up this morning and wanted to check the time, I realised that my phone is completely dead. And I really mean dead. Usually when it's charging, there's a light in the upper left corner, but it wasn't on. I tried holding the power button for a minute or two, still nothing. Then I tried connecting it to my computer, no results. Since it has a non-removable battery, I couldn't pull that out either and for warranty purposes, I didn't even try. I already took it to my operator's shop and they sent it to the warranty guys since I figured there's nothing I could possibly do if the phone doesn't even recognize the charger.
Probably not a software problem since then the charging light would work at least. But I'm still curious - what the hell happened? Has anyone had any similar experiences or could you at least offer some insight into what could be the problem?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It's not unheard of that a device just goes dead. It's sounds like that happened to you. It could be caused by a number of hardware failures. It sounds like it's time to use your warranty.
I'm getting my second phone and its the Asus zenfone. When I first get it what should I do? Should I first charge it fully and then use it or should I just use it and then plug it in later? I really don't want to mess up the battery because my first phone I ever got was the s3 and after four months the battery didn't work that well and two years later now my phone drains quickly that I can't charge my phone with the charger. I connect my phone to my ps4 to charge it. So besides the battery are there any other things I should do? I've never rooted my phone before so should I do it for my zenfone 2? If so what skin should I use, I heard cyanogen mod is very good. Also how can I transfer my contacts and pictures/music to my new phone? If I use a new Google account for my phone can I still transfer my pictures that are associated with my old gmail that is associated with my s 3. Sorry for the long post, I'm really excited for my phone and I want it to rub the best and last me at least 2 years or more.

Hi, welcome to XDA, and welcome to the Zenfone 2 family!
If it's all right, I will try to answer each question in point form...
Usually when you get a new phone, the battery level is around 60%. I, being impatient (especially with this one), plugged it in then turned it on to use it, until battery level reached 100%, then unplugged.
There is probably big, conflicting discussion about this, but messing up your first charge probably isn't going to ruin your battery or take months off of it's life.
I think best practice is try not to let the level fall below 40% (but don't panic if it does and your day is not yet over), but more importantly, don't leave it on the charger for way longer than needed to get to 100% (the phone's ROM has an estimate of when battery reached 100% to help) - in the same token don't panic if you lay for charge and then fall asleep, waking up in the middle of the night, or even morning when you realize it's still on the charger - just unplug .
If you have to charge your S3 with your PS4, it sounds more like your charger adapter died on you.
If you never rooted, although you are missing out on a wide world, there are consequences in that world (safeguards are there for a reason). Bravery is a prerequisite. In short, if you don't need root, I wouldn't bother.
CyanogenMod is a possibility for this device, once your bootloader is unlocked (and only specific versions of the stock ROM allow you to do this). But honestly, for stability, stick with stock for a while, and if you hate it (I personally like it), then can try something different.
If you have used Google services for everything ... photos (Picasa or whatever it's now called), contacts, et cetera, all that should translate to the new phone once you sign in. Music, you will have to copy over from your old phone, the easiest way is to connect to PC via data cable, enable MTP, and collect the files. Then reverse direction for the ZF2.
No worries!
