Hello,
Maybe u guys can help me?? I have bionix 1.3.1 and tigers blood kernel and ginger red theme but i had over stock kernel before. In the beginning when i first installed my rom i would hook it up to my pc or a wall outlet it would recognize my phone and it would charge. But lately when ever i plug it into wall outlet or to my pc it wont charge and the only way it will charge is if i reboot while its plugged in. Then when it comes back on it starts to charge, weird huh???? Does anyone know how to fix this? CAN Someone Plz help me???
TY so much for ur help!
thats odd. I havent run both in unison but i know they both werk with no probs respectively. Which versions are you running? Bionix1.3.1? Tigerbloodv3?.... maybe try a reflash? i'm charging my phone atm if no one else replies in an hour i'll flash them both for ya and post my results, but im thinking its prob gonna be a simple reflash or redownload fix kinda thing at this point Bionix and Tigersblood are proven game winners and DD's. good luck!
does anyone have a solution?? plz... TY

Cant reproduce problem
I flashed back to Bionix1.3.1 yesterday flashed Tigersbloodv3 on top of it. Ran it all day plugged into my PC with no problems of charging or internal/external mount to PC. Everything werked perfectly for me all day. Flashed theme Mortalkombat SubZero ontop and plugged into wall outlet charged all night with no problems here.
I'll keep running it to see if anything pops up.
- How long was it till you started having charge isues?
- Have you tried reflash?(prob fix it)
- Have you tried redownload?(prob fix it)
- Have you tried another theme since?(maybe its a theme issue{unlikely})
good luck!
did you fix?

the battery pull didnt work, but im gonna try to reflash my rom and another theme to see if that fixes it. Ty guys for ur help very much appreciated.
you can also buy a separate wall charger. i dont charge any phones through the pc for some reason i always liked and preferred to have a wall charger and it seems to be faster as well.
I agree about wall charger. Get an extra batt too then u can always have a batt with 100% and flash away.
lets us know how it goes. Good luck!

I just hope i dont get a hardware locked one if thats the case i may keep my defective one...LOL
Ty for all ur help u guys!! much appreciated
I am having the exact same problem, the phone wouldn't charge unless I reboot it, then it would work for a little bit. After a short while, the phone wouldn't charge again when I have it plugged in. I tried wall charger, car charger, USB, nothing would get the phone to charge except to reboot. I am running Trigger 3.2, tried reflash it several times, but the problem wouldn't go away.
did you return the phone for an exchange?

I need help with this NOW if anyone can. I figured I'd go ahead and make a thread for it so it would get seen. I was trying to update to 2.1 and something went wrong. Long story short the battery drained and now even when it's plugged into the wall all it does is flash its little red light. If I can get it to charge I think I can get things working again but as it stands I don't even know if it is charging. If I have it plugged into the wall and remove the battery the led turns green. If I put the batt back in afterwards it will go off after a bit and eventually "turn on" (in this case that just means that the screen comes on but is completely black but backlit) but there is no led indication at all so i don't know if it's charging or what. It doesn't seem to be. I really need help asap. Thanks in advance.
Silly question perhaps.. have you tried putting it into flash mode for SEUS (phone off hold back key, plug in USB cable)...?? does it register the phone?
Open pc companion hold back button and insert the micro Ian until it says stop it should then tell you your software is already the latest but if there's a problem you can use the repair option. Hth

Tried it just now, nothing.
My suggestion would be to plug it in for a few hours then try again. Or take battery out completely and try the back button without a battery. Might work. Might not. Sorry. Doubt the phone is bricked tho.

Just out of interest how long have you left it on the charge for? Because the red light flashes while charging until 10% and I remember once when my battery fully drained it did that for a few minutes until phone turned on again. Leave it for a while if you haven't done so.
The reason I ask is, incase you saw red light flashing and took it off charge straight away thinking its faulty? Like I said it sometimes takes a while to turn on fully when battery has died.
Edit: I know this is unhelpful, but that's why when you update via SEUS it says to ensure battery has 50%

I got he same problem 3 weeks ago. i could not get the phone to boot anymore even after trying all the unbrick method available here. so i sent it to sony ericsson service and they changed the motherboard.
okay, been charging for a while now and still have the red light. Pretty confident it isn't charging.
Plz try another usb cablr. I know about 20 people whoms usb cable accidently died and the phones cannot charge anymore ....

But the phone won't even boot. Will the battery charge while it's off? or when it's on a black screen? I know 2.1 lets it charge when it's off now, but the OP said the update screwed up.
Other suggestions that may take some time:
1. Find someone else who has an X10 and charge it in their phone.
2. Bring it to your phone provider and ask them to charge it.
3. Bring it to your phone provider and exchange the battery (temporarily?).
4. Buy an external wall charger (one that lets you charge the battery directly, not in the phone).
I ended up bypassing the phone and charging the battery directly via a macgyvered usb cable. Don't ask. lol. But I got it charged enough to use the se update tool and restore it back to the original rom. I'll try the update to 2.1 later after I get this thing charged all the way up. Thanks guys.
Phone isn't responsive, I have 2 batteries, both wont work, it has a custom kernel running gingerbread, it wont go into flash mode, help help help please!! phone wont vibrate to turn on, screen wont show, I'm almost crying here, I will cry if it doesnt turn on by tonight help help help!!! pleaseeeeeee!!!

Does the screen light up at all when you put in a battery? If it lights up slightly but still is "black screen" then try this to get into flash mode: remove battery, insert usb, hold back button and keep holding while you replace the battery.

are you sure the batteries have a decent charge?
Im not new, and yes I know what flash mode is, no its all black screen, the batteries are either low or dead, either way the phone won't offline charge

try leaving it plugged in for a little bit with the battery in anyway, an hour or so. If you're on a custom rom it might still charge enough to get it into flash mode
ive been trying, its like it doesnt have a pluse, no response to anything at all!! I'm dieing right now because I need to flash a rogers ROM on it and its kapput, it's so weird. Why me..

seriously plug it in with the battery in and leave it alone for a while...
I know it's tempting to keep trying, but you'll just drive yourself batty. Best to leave it alone take a breather for an hour, go have a beer and hopefully by the time you get back it will be responsive

not really, if both batteries are dead it could easily be just that....
find an external charger or a friend with an extra x10 and try charging the batteries before trying!

I hear you can take the back cover off pull the battery and plug in the charger and you might get a light on the phone after a minute or two then with it still plugged in push the battery back and let sit over night.
You can also try this after 5 minutes with no light and leave overnight as I read a few places it allows the battery to charge
yes, if you take out the battery, then plug the phone into a *WALL* charger *NOT COMPUTER USB PORT* the green led should light up. when its green, try inserting the battery, then leave it alone for a while and see if it starts to charge.
good luck

I had exactly the same situation, zero battery and also feared that I lose my X10. What do I did?
1) Downloaded X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf (and put it in the proper FlashTool folder).
2) Removed the battery for 1 minute, put the battery in the mobile again but don't powered the mobile on and also don't used the USB cable.
3) Started Flashtool and choosed to flash the file, and only connected the USB cable while pressing the "Back" button. When it ended flash, disconected the cable and... voila! It was working OK again. After that I installed my fave-super-complete WB ROM again.
So, why I'm being sooo detailed if you aren't n00b? Because when stressed, we sometimes forget something.
Hope the Stock 2.1 ROM in FlashTool helps you like it helped me.
My vibrant wont charge.. if i plug power it says charging but it actually drains battery.. not charging.. i even tried charging with computer and diffent charger but still not charging.. tried different battery.. but still not charging.. can anyone help me? thanks
I've had this problem too, where it says my phone is plugged in (the 2 icons popup in my notification bar), but it won't charge.
What worked for me was;
1. Unplug your phone.
2. Turn your phone off.
3. Take out your battery.
4. Plug your phone in (with the battery out)
5. Now put the battery in.
If all goes well, you'll see the little loading symbol after a few seconds, followed by the charging screen. You can then turn your phone on, and it should be charging!
Good luck.
rebooting is only a temp fix! i had this problem the rom u are running had a bad flash go back to stock with odin and reflash and it should be fixed! thats wht i did to fix it. BUT Make sure u got back to stock before u reflash
I restarted my phone and it worked fine.
Thanks for the advices but still it says charging but not actually charging. i went back to stock JFD and still battery is not charging is it a phone hardware problem?
edit : i even see a charging battery icon when phone is turned off but odd thing is first time it is loading then it reloads battery then the battery icon shows looks like its charging but i left it for few hours but its not charging..
did you wipe battery stats?
yes i did.. its just saying charging but not charging and drains battery..
You might have some debris or something in the usb/charging port on your phone. Even a piece of fuzz can cause misreadings. Try this:
-Take out your battery, and put it in the other room (other room is not necessary, but to illustrate my point, do not replace the battery until your sure its dry)
-Take an alchohol soaked pad, like for medical use, and use the corner of it to clean the usb/charging port on your phone. Be careful not to lose any of the pad inside that port. Also, dont use anything but alchohol to clean it. I remember one person a while ago who reported he cleaned his port with a qtip with most of the cotton stripped off and rubbing alchohol, just dont let any fuzz get loose if you go that route.
-When you are ABSOLUTELY SURE the alchohol has evaporated, replace your battery, and test.
Doing this is of course at your own risk, but it sounds to me like something got inside your port, and it needs a cleaning.
Best of luck.

I'm going to go out on a limb here but uh...... Hows your cord lookin' bro? Lol. on a serious note...... try a new cord and power block....... and wall outlet..... also I heard paying your electric bill works too. lol jk
its all good i have 2vibrants one for me one for my gf and its my gf's vibrant charger works fine for my vibrant but not for my gf's vibrant.. i even tried with my charger but still no luck.. searched on google and havnt found person with this kind of issue...
edit : its not charging again.. damn.....
Clean the port bro, I'm tryin to tell ya, it should work. I've seen it fix several that have been in a similar state. Maybe the battery contacts too just to cover all bases. The alchohol evaporates pretty quickly, it won't take too long, just be damn sure its dry before you put it all back together.

Thanks for all the replies. I have tried about three different cables as well. I have not gone back to stock as I do not have a PC to use odin. You cant do it on a mac, can you? Also I was going to try just going back to a 2.2 rom but since I have been using gingerbread roms when I flash in recovery it will not do it. Thanks for all the help.

Heimdall is very different from using Odin. I use Heimdall on Ubuntu. Here is a very good post on using Heimdall and it explains the files that it needs. You have to unzip the file you would normally use in Odin and link Heimdall to them individually.

Hope this helps.
I have the same issue. Took it back to stock, did everything possible new bat new cord, new sim. I was on ICS PASSION 10.6 and Eugenes kernel. I now have a 4 g vib complement of an extended warranty. If you want to play there may be a price to pay. Sorry thats all I can offer in way of help, good luck.
Thanks for all the help guys! I finally got it back to stock and it seems as it is starting to charge now. Heimdall front end never worked I think its some kind of compatibility issue with Lion for Mac. I did it using heimdall through Terminal. I actually bricked my vibrant and brought it back with one click unbrick. I then flashed each individual file from the firmware through Terminal. Went to destination folder then heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs and so on... Thanks for all the help.
Spoke too soon...
I spoke prematurely! Now it will not charge through the wall charger!! I thought it was hardware but why does it charge through the computer????? If it was hardware it should not charge at all, right??? Software wise I flashed back to stock so why wont it charge???

This is making me think it is a problem with the wall part of the charger.
Are you using the plug that came with the phone? I have that one and two others, 1 from Motorola and another from BrandXfrom who knows where. The original Sammy works great, the Motorola one takes longer and the BrandX sometimes doesn't even register as plugged in.
If you plug into computer and it works, then you can rule out the USB cord, which harks to the wall plug I am betting.
yeah i have tried three different charger. My Mytouch 4G charger, new Galaxy S 2 charger, and my original Vibrant one. I have no clue. It will not charge through the outlet. I will try cleaning the USB port although if that were the case it would not charge at all. I will keep trying to figure it out. Thanks for all the help.
Same issue. I flashed my Vibrabt T959 with MIUI (JB), MIUI (ICS), Passion ICS (nice rom) but doesn't charge or at least I think it didn't. I left it plugged in to my AC charger and came back an hour later.... WOW! charged up. Not sure whats going on but no animated battery icon of charging status on lock screen.
-I tried sevaral chargers. In one occation I had to wiggle the cord for it to charge.
-Does not charge with my car USB charger (possible cord issue?). Have not tried my AC cord.
-I downloaded a battery app to verify if it charging... So I ahve to open the app to verify (PIDA).
EDIT
I found these MIUI GB rom which do show the phone charging but has the GPS issue.

i tried to "rest" for a day but still the phone won't turn on
i've tried connecting it to wall charger but still , dead.
the battery is full cause i've tried it on my friend's photon.
so the battery is not the issue.
can anybody give me any solution ?
i can't send the phone back to sprint cause i lived overseas.
i really need help here
any suggestions are welcomed, thx.
When you plug it in to AC does it show any sign of life?

A few more details would help us help you.
It's (should be) common knowledge that you can help fix something when you don't know what's under the hood.
Give us some info. Are you stock, rooted custom rom kernel etc.
Does anything occur on your phone at any time? Lights or a vibrate when charging? Do you get to the Motorola screen? If so Are you familiar with rsd and fast boot?
To get help around here we need to see a thorough post that explains all of the details. I assure you someone will attempt to come to your aid

Okay here's the thing:
the photon is unlocked and using 197 SBF
rooted and unlocked (cause i install the beat audio mod)
prior to this , nothing is wrong
the phone works normally
and suddenly it hangs / freezes when i called my friend with it
so out in desperation i took off the battery
and it never turn on since
totally dead
not even motorola logo on the screen
the battery is 90% cause i tried my battery on my friend's photon and it shows 90% charge
so i don't think this is the battery problem
i tried connect it to the wall charger, nothing happened not even LED turn on
i tried connecting to my laptop usb port and the white led come out but still it won't turn on
with and without battery, when i connect it to my laptop the white led comes out.
Try to pull the battery more times, I know that this issue could be from pudding sbf on some Photons.
One man from here had the similar problem, flashed derpunlock.sbf, booted and after some minutes it died, he had to pull the battery, wait a few minutes and again. After full sbf flashing, it was fine.

i've leave the battery out of the phone for more than 24 hour but still it won't turn on.
the weird things is that it was working fine for many months prior to this.
and i never do anything on the phone .
i mean i didn't flash or upgrade or anything.
This sounds like hardware issue...

if it is a hardware issues
why does the LED showing white color when connected to the computer ?
though the led is white when connected to the computer with or without battery in it.
can anyone please help ?
Try a different charger. Mine shows white when your too dead to boot. Left it on about 30 min then a battery pull and booted up to charging screen

Is it recognized by rsd lite with the white led? Most probably not. Just asking.
AH! I'm having the same issue! No answers?
NOOOOOO!
