For some unknown reason I let battery drain completely. Now when I plug in charger it goes into boot loop as charge is not enough to keep screen alive and charger is not powerful enough to charge while keeping screen alive. Catch 22 situation. Any ideas on how I can charge without turning ON the phone?

never mind. I found solution. I kept my phone on fastboot mode and let it charge, took battery off and inserted again. It worked and able to boot.

Now when I plug it into the charger, it just goes to the Core Cell splash screen, for like a split second then turns off, then does it repeatedly... I donnu, how to charge my phone, I donnu what to do, please help.
Pull the battery, connect power then put battery back in. This should let it start charging without trying to start the phone.

I tried that, but as soon as i put the battery back in, it'll just restart, I fixed the issue last night, I chucked my Battery into the Freezer, for like... more than 8 hours, woke up, and plugged my phone back together, and it charged, without booting up and restart
So all good
I let my battery die off this morning til I got home. I plugged it into the wall and tried to boot up. I got the green light to flash but then nothing. I pulled the battery out and even left it charging for a few hours. Still, the phone does not power up. The green light turns on for a bit and then off. I haven't done any mods to the phone...
Any idea what is going on? Or perhaps how I can fix this? Any help would be great.
Weird. I had it plugged in my Energizer Ps3 controller stand (it has two usb outputs) which was giving me the issue before. I finally plugged it in to the wall and it boot up fine. I guess the PS3 stand may be faulty...

Use the charger that came with your phone.
If you do a google search, you will see that the droid x and droid 2 also have this same issue.
next time it happens, pull the batter and SD card. wait a minute or two, put in the sdcard and battery, then plug in the WALL charger. It will power on the phone and boot it up.
has happend to me twice - so now i just never turn off my phone rebooting it is also touch n go to be honest... the phone is sooo sensitive!
The phone's not sensitive...it requires an 800mA charger (0.8A). If you connect it to something less it doesn't have enough power to charge the device. If you let it sit long enough it *WILL* charge it...but it'll probably take a day to have enough juice to start up. If you let the battery drain completely it usually won't turn on until there's like 15% or more battery charged. Charging 15% battery on a 400mA charger (which could very well be the level your PS3 charging stand outputs) would probably take like 7 hours.
Thanks for the info, everyone!
I'm sorry for the bump, but this has happened to my mother's Atrix that I gave her just 2 days ago.
She found it turned off, wouldn't power. I figured it wasn't charged so I'm trying to charge it on the wall adapter that it came with but no green light. I've put it on my laptop and the green light appears.
It's not turning on though...can someone reassure me that if the light turns on, it WILL power eventually?
Same problem here

hello man, i have the same problem you have, did you find out something useful???
I have a stock ATT HTC One that seems to have a ghost in it. I received this unit with a completely dead battery and after charging several days it finally started. The battery only showed about 30% charge but it was enough for me to install and test a sim card. Everything worked fine so I shut it down and forgot about it. Recently I picked it up again and charged it. I have it showing 83% on the battery but it will shut down within a minute of reaching the lock screen after start up. It does this no matter what I am doing with the phone. I tried plugging it in to my computer USB and it immediately shuts down and won't restart until I unplug it. Before this when it was working it would show a discharge status once it was plugged in to USB but my computer would recognize it and the phone recognized my computer. If I turned off the phone while plugged in it would flash the red LED and then it would glow steadily until it was unplugged. A battery check indicated that the battery was taking a charge at this time I would really appreciate any direction or suggestions as to what to try yo fix this
Thanks in advance and I really want to thank everyone who does all the great work here.

I have only read one other issue like this and it ended in the phone being sent back to HTC, the partition table was corrupt if i remember right.

Hi, I saw your problem with your HTC One and it's the same problem that I'm having. Can you tell me the cable and charger you used to charge your phone? I've had it plugged in for 12 hours now and all it does is flash the red led. what does the led look like when it's actually charging? I'm suspecting that i'm using the wrong usb cable and charger.
Thanks,
It's supposed to be solid red when charging. Solid green when fully charged

My phone's battery just died while charging. No idea how it happened, but apparently it wasn't charging at all, even though it displayed a charging icon.
Now it's turned off and it won't charge. When I plug it in, it turns on, displays the screen with the big battery, as usual, but only for a few short seconds. Then it turns itself on, even though it has no power, and shuts itself down immediately after it turns on, meaning it never charges. Then it goes t the big battery screen again, then turns itself on etc. and this goes in a circle for all eternity.
What do I do? I have no battery charger and I don't have any friends with a SGS3
(I'm running UltimaROM 17.1, in case that's related, which it might be, since I jut flashed it yesterday morning.)

You say you plug it and this happens? But what do you plug in when you wrote this: "I have no battery charger and.." ?
The battery could be dead or maybe it is also the dock connector! I don't know. FIrst buy a new battery. It's not a big deal
Or you try to search for someone who has an S3 and try it out
Good luck!
I meant I have a charger for my phone, like with a USB cable, but I don't own a charger that only charges batteries. Thanks for the quick reply, but I fixed it already. It wouldn't boot to recovery because the battery was completely empty, but with some fast finger-work I managed to plug it in and get it to boot to recovery before the battery screen. Since recovery doesn't use up battery as much, it started charging without shutting down and it's fine now

Thanks god you got it fixed. Good job!
Hello, recently my phone was having some serious battery life issues. It started with just draining fast, then it would turn off prematurely at 10%, then 20%, then 50%, then it would basically not run without a charging cable. My fix was to just plug in a power bank and keep it like that, and it was working fine for a while. Then I noticed it wouldn't charge with the stock charger. I would plug it in, worked for a few minutes, get to 100%, turn off, then go down to ~95% and die. So I was only using it with my power bank.
Today, I plugged it in as usual, and it just started doing a bootloop. Then it just turned off and refused to work! It won't power on with neither the original charger or the powerbank. Add insult to injury, there's this tiny LED notification light I had never seen before that's blinking. Now it's not blinking any more. I just plugged in the powerbank and NOW it looks like it's working. Oh no, was too optimistic, it's back at the rebooting thing. It's just the first screen for 5-15 seconds, goes black, then repeats. God I hate this phone,
So now it's next to me just powering on and off. Please help, I would appreciate it greatly!
It's probably that your battery is just done. I had similar issues to you. My battery would drop a percent a minute or less while in use, and was shutting down at 50 percent or so.
I just got the battery replaced and it's back to how it was new. I had a z2 play that was laggy and likely had freezing issues due to minor water damage. I'm so much happier with my newly refurbished Z. It's just a much better and smoother phone, period.
The batteries are like 10 bucks. Just need someone to install it. The Moto z battery replacement is rated difficult, so I wouldn't attempt a DIY unless you're an experienced phone repair person. :good:
Good luck!
Yes battery is SNAFU, ie. normal Motorola's quality control.
I have the wireless charging mod, that causes similar boot loop when placed on charger.
Great when you have pattern to proceed boot security and your alarm fails in morning.
I am about to cremate this POS phone and all its mods once my Sony cheap interim phone arrives.. will not even consider supporting the Motorola eco system by selling on eBay.
