Hi! My XGO is not charging after flashing an incorrect kernel via CWM. After the flash, it stayed on (with black lit screen) until (i guess) the battery drained and now if I plug it into the charger that came with the phone, it just shows red led, then the led disappears after a couple of minutes. The phone cant enter flash or fast boot modes, cannot hard reset too.
I am just looking for a way to charge the phone's battery manuaaly i mean without the cables that came with it so I can find out if I can enter fast boot or flash mode or even turn the phone on.
Is it an option too remove the battery and charge it using a wall charger? Because the battery isn't charging at all.
Help!!!
anyone? pls?
First off the phone using hold the power+vol up button until vibrate 3 time then try to flash another kernel using fastboot or if you dont have enough battery dont do it....

+1 but if he cant charge his phone then if i was in his shoes i would go for the flash anyways its a 2 min prossess and if he leave it the battery will die anyways leaving him with a brick
hi thanks for the advice; however I cant flash any kernel or tft if I cant charge the phone. I cant do the hard reset too. The only indication from the phone is the red led (solid) that goes away after a couple of minutes. Any other advice?

XGo has non-removeable battery...
Sent from my XGO
I was able to remove and reconnect the battery as other threads have adviced, though I can try to change the battery, my location limits it. Ive tried searching for online stores to find a battery for XGO but none of my searches returned plausible results. So I guess my choice now is how to charge the battery forcibly. Thanks again.
i'm having the same problem as you quoted above

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.
Hello...I just unlocked my bootloader and tried to CWM 2.3.4 using the new version of CWM by tenfar...I am stuck on the Motorola boot screen and my battery is too low to flash...I tried to pull the battery and put the phone on an ac charge but that did not work...any assistance is greatly appreciated
Hi,
Easiest solution is to get a universal charger from Radio Shack, $10.
Cheers!
Remove battery, put the phone in AC mode, then place battery in. It takes about 3-5 hrs to charge, then it should be okie. I met this problem too Solved that way!

. First off nice job digging up this dead corpse. Of course he found a solution. Know what it is? Dont use Tenfars recovery anymore because its completely outdated and will cause problems. As far as being able to charge yer phone are u trying to plug it in to a computer? Because if battery dies it wont work to plug it in to the comp.

No solutions on here yet?
Well, this is what I did, not sure if it will completely work yet, but so far it's doing it's thing.
- I plugged the phone into the charger adapter
- Booted the phone without holding volume down
- let the phone charge itself
- monitor battery level with volume buttons
Once that was done I could continue, as phone does not charge during flashing.
Or am I way off here?
My X10 suddenly cannot turn on, press the power button, only flashing the red led 3 times(battery is full), the screen display nothing, press any button has no response, I do not know what the problem, please help...
Sounds like the battery is flat, maybe a problem with the charger or usb plug is not charging the battery? Does the light go on when you plug the charger in? Does it go green, if not then it would indicate a battery /charger problem

I faced the same issue.
My phone's problem was that when I upgraded to a new ROM, I didnt wiped the battery stats.
And phone was not turning on as the battery was flat and it was not charging also.
This is what I did.
Opened flash tool.
Removed the battery.
Pressed back button of phone and connected USB to phone and PC.
Inserted the battery.
Now I see the green LED means phone is in flash mode.
I kept phone like that for almost 10 mins ! (battery will actually charge a little when we do so)
Later I disconnected and switched on phone and it worked !
The first thing I did was rebooting into recoevry and wiping battery stats.
And the actuall battery was less than 10 % !
You can have a try this way and see if it can be fixed.
Good luck !
I did the same as Runaway Bunny. It worked perfectly after that. Just be sure to wipe the battery stats and FULLY charge your phone immediately.
EDIT
I ALSO had an issue with the USB port going bad so you may watch for that as well if the above does not work.
And let us know how you made out.
Thats very bad i kept my phone 5-6 hours on charge and it turned on this happened to me 3 times in a day
EDIT:My battery got to 5-0% in 2 secs and it turned off at that time it was my brand new phone...

I've been followed the step, but it show red LED (flash slowly) not green LED.
seems not the same problem, thanks!
What you see in LogCat when you use USB while switching on ?
I guess, now you can start ADB while switching on and wipe stats through command prompt, hope it helps.
I also had the same problem but fixed it as "Bunny" mentioned (Cute name though)

I know this is a late addition, but if all else failed then it very well might be the usb cord, i had to replace mine as it stopped working. I picked up 2 on ebay for $4 which included postage and 2 replacement batteries set me back $10 delivered

and the phone is dead.
i tried to install the battery again but the phone won't turn on at all
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.

i can't send the phone back to sprint cause i lived overseas.

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.

You charge your phone with the phone on or off?
If off, probably your kernel doesnt support offline charging. That's why it wont charge your phone.
I've been there too, try to press the "reset button" (vol + + power) and see if the phone vibrates, and if yes do it vibrate 3 times and try to get it going again in flashmode.
My phone have locked bootloader, i don't know if it is a kernel error..

Waited for 2% then flashed stock ICS. Charged till full (took 3 hours) then back to CM9
Hello! Sorry for digging this up, I can't find help anywhere. My girlfriend has the same problem with her SOLA, that is not in warranty time by now.
