[Q] Problem Booting - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been running Das Bamf 1.7 Stripped no for quite some time without any problem, but recently I have been having quite a few random reboots. This morning I try to turn my phone on and It will not respond. This has happened before and all I had to do was plug it into the charger for a few minutes and then do a battery pull and it would start up. I tried that and all that it will do is give a small vibration and then do nothing.
Any help is appreciated.

I would try leaving it plugged in for like an hour and then give it a shot to see if it'll start up. The problem is every reboot eats a good percentage of battery so if you have enough of them you'll pretty much drain it down to where it will not power on.
I had this issue a long time ago but after leaving it plugged in for about an hour I was able to bring it back up easily.

please enlighten us oh great one...

Hey, i am using thory GB rom lastest release 3.5.1 and it works perfectly but when i did the speedtweak.sh and set it to extreme my phone will not boot now it stays stuck at HTC and reboots itself but never goes past it how could i fix this please.

Was there a resolution?

No. I finally was able to boot into recovery and i deleted the kernel and re installed it and it finally booted back up idk why that did that if the speedtweak.sh preset settings should be safe.

[Q] Phone will not turn on.

I was using my phone this morning and it froze so I took the battery out and tried to reboot it. It is now stuck at the screen you get when your phone is off and it is charging...ya know the green battery with the dots under it. It will not budge from this screen at all! I have done everything I can think of and nothing will work...Anyone got an idea how to fix this.
Did you try to take the Battery out for a few Minutes? You could then press the Power Button for a few second swhen the battery is out. Do you have a CWM on your phone? Tried to "boot in it"?
Power button + Home Button + Sound - (or was is it Sound +?) button when its off. There you could wipe cache first, or do a full wipe if its necessary...
Ive tried to boot into clockworkmod. It wont take. I booted into download mood and tried a restart from there and nothing. I will leave the battery out for a min and see what happens.
Solved this your Problem?
What have you done when your phone was freezing? If you just were watching videos it should be fine, but if you was installing something or even take changes on the system

I was trying to take a video when it happened. could it be the rom. btw i took it to att and the lady plugged it into her charger and bingo. I am going to flash back to stock. I have been having sdome bugs lately. my phone will randomly make that noise that it makes when you plug it in. and than it has been freezing as well. Could it be the rom? is the buggy issues the battery? I mean it seems like no rom i flash is stable for me and there is severe battery drain too. Any ideas?

if you're having consistent trouble with each rom you try, its either your phone or some sort of user error on your part.
flash it to stock and see if the errors persist. if they do, then it would seem your phone is faulty. if they do not, maybe stick with stock for a while and do some more reading before continuing with flashing custom roms.
I flashed back to unnamed instead of stock and things seem good just a battery drain issue I have juice defender running and still lose battery like its my job. Could I need a new battery?

Try to battery pull unplugged and turn it on, then plug in see if it goes any higher. If it doesn't change try it a few more times. If still no change redownload the rom and gapps and do flash it again. Then let me know what it does.

[Q] Phone randomly turns on and off after mod

Hello all. So here is my situation.
Motorola Milestone X2
Last night I successfully rooted the phone and installed CMOD 10 using these directions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101633
Everything went fine. Charged the phone overnight, went for a jog this morning running both Pandora and c25k app. Absolutely no issues.
So I get to work and the phone just shuts off. Will not power back on or into fastboot. When plugged into USB, green light comes on.
After several minutes it will randomly power back on. Then after using it for a few minutes, it will just shut off again. Powering on and shutting down seems to happen randomly.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Quick update. It is draining the battery. The next time it booted up I watched carefully, and the red light in the corner was flashing and it said 5% battery, even though it had a full charge just a couple of hours ago. Something must be draining it badly if it will not even run very long while plugged in. Again, any fix for this would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a reason to think that flashing to CMOD 10 actually broke the hardware? I have never had battery issues before. SBFing back I am sure would resolve the issue but then what?
And I am not talking "I used to get 12 hours, now I get 10" I am talking "I used to get 12 hours, now I get 12 minutes."
Even when plugged in, if I use it very much, it will die. Surely this is an issue of the phone incorrectly reporting the battery levels. I ran the battery calibration app (not at 100% charge since I cannot seem to get it that high) and it seemed to have no effect.
When I try to have the OS boot into recovery to try clearing the battery data, I just get an icon that look like the little android guy standing in front of a caution sign.

cyanogen 10 has issues on our phone. plain and simple. also check the battery stats and see whats running. i had an issue once with facebook running 99% of the time consuming way too many resources. id sbf and try again from stock. if theres still issues try running cm9 it runs nicely and its my daily driver.

Lorenzo VonMatterhorn said:
cm9 is a bit better in quite a few aspects. i would try it over cm10. for battery life alone. i have stayed on it the longest now, surpassing eclipse, which used to be my favorite. :good:

battery life on cm10 is absolutely horrible. it will never be anything close to stock, and you will be lucky if you can get it to last you a whole day. even when working properly.

Not necessarily, I've gone two days with 3g radio on but with minimal use on cm10 it really just depends on the hardware variations. Just like how two phones of the same model over clock differently because of minor flaws and variations durring manufacturing.

So I was finally able to get it to charge to 100% and then used the battery calibration app.
I could not tell immediately if that did anything, but it seems to be holding its charge today. Guess we will see how it does over the next couple of days.
Thanks!

[Q] Bootlooping. Opinions on issue?

Last night my phone started bootlooping very frequently. I was running the CM10 built with Samsung source that was posted in this section for a while with absolutely no problems, when suddenly the phone shut off and started doing short, quick vibrations repeatedly. Like the vibration that the phone makes when it first turns on and shows the Samsung logo. I pulled the battery but it continued once I put the battery back in. Eventually I got it to boot but soon after it booted it started again. I am now running Blackjelly v1, and though less frequent, the problem still persists...does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Mine did the same thing... It was crazy...Nothing I did fixed it... Flashed away at any 4.2.2 Rom and It was consistent bootloop... Decided to take phone apart and clean power button (read somewhere power button gets stuck) Same issue bootloop... I odined back to stock...bam it worked...now the capacitive buttons don't work... So after booting stock I flashed TWRP recovery and attempted to flash 4.2.2 rom to no prevail, I am only capable of flashing BlackJelly v1 any other rom sends me into (App is upgrading screen after boot after apps say Starting Apps bootloop) nonstop bootloop...
I honestly wonder if my phone is the only phone that will not accecpt 4.2.2 roms...

It's now bootlooping like crazy. It'll turn on for like 5 minutes and then go right back to bootlooping. My USB port is kinda screwy so it's hard to odin anything. I'm at a loss for what to do.

I had boot looping problems several times now. For me, it's always been sticky power button. One time, I forgot it had that problem at work and looped for 30 minutes. I just take out the battery for about an hour, then get the power button unstuck. My button gets stuck at the bottom of the button, so I can normally mess with the top part to fix it.
So the issue has escalated even further now. It is a sticky power button, i believe, but now when the phone tries to turn on it shows both samsung logos and then shuts right back off and refuses to turn on again unless i do a battery pull...I'm not even sure if it's turning off, actually. It turns on immediately after inserting a battery into the device. But right now I have a fancy brick.
Definitly a power button issue

Similar Issue
My phone started doing a crazy bootloop just out of the blue last night. I have never had a problem. I took the battery out to put my memory card back in. I'd been using it for my digital camera. This is not out of the ordinary. I do it all the time. But after I replaced the card, battery and cover it started this continuous boot loop. Sometimes it will go to the main screen and allow me to perform some functions, but then it goes right back to the bootloop. I am running the Padawan JB rom. I did the complete wipe, factory reset and re-flash. But it still did the bootloop. The only time it does NOT exhibit this issue is when the phone is on the charger. Then and only then it works perfectly. Is it the battery? Why will it bootloop without the charger and work fine when on the charger?
It is probably your battery

The Note won't run without a proper battery installed. I had the problem where I swapped out my dead battery for a fully charged one (I do this everyday) and all of a sudden it kept bootlooping.I spent a few hours, when I got home, flashing it back to stock etc to no avail. I could get into download mode, and download to my hearts content but when I tried to boot the phone, it looped. Samsung, samsung, samsung....
I swapped back my, now charged, spare and BAM it booted into stock android no problem. I think my first (stock samsung battery actually) is finished. Or at least has some serious issues, and the phone refuses to boot with it in but my spare (Anker battery) works fine.
I hope this works for you's, it did for me

[Q] DNA boots to recovery, battery dies, reboots to recovery

So I'll start off by saying I'm on Cyanogenmod 11.0 12/15 nightly, running CWM 6.0.4.5, and crpalmers kernel for nightlies 5.2.11.
While trying to take a picture today my phone turned off (had 50% battery left) and would not turn back on. When I plugged it into power it took a little while to power on, as if the battery was dead. When it finally turned on it booted to recovery, stayed on for a bit then turned off before I could do anything. When it restarted again I tried to re-install the rom but it died again before it could start. So i figured i would just keep it turned off and let it charge. As soon as I plug it in, it boots. Plug it into the computer, same thing. Any ideas???
Update: So I found a more powerful charger, 1150mV over a 1000mV, and that was enough to keep the screen on and charge the battery enough to let the phone boot normally. But now the phone only stays on for about 20 min before it reboots. Still not sure whats going on but atleast it boots.
Sounds like a bad battery to me.

Once I let the battery charge fully I just returned back to stock. The how-to is in the forum some where, I can find it later but I'm on my way out the door. As of right now I'm s-off but completely stock and seems to be working fine. Maybe try a different kernel first and see if that helps.
