I flashed darky rom 9.3 to my vibrant this morning and everything went well and it booted up. Went to attach my charger and the screen goes black then the timer icon pops up and then the battery icon and then it loops repeatedly, I can't connect to the computer either it will recognize it and then after 5-10 seconds it loops again and loose the connection.
How can I fix this?
Flash a different ROM...I had issues with Darky's also...

Did you make a backup of a older rom that you can reinstall
Hi,
I want to modify the AOSP boot loader to boot the device when charger is connected instead of displaying the battery charging animation. This seems to have been implemented in some ROMs. I would like to know what needs to be modified
Device: Galaxy Player 5.0 INTL (YP-G70)
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10.1 (7/23/2013)
Kernel: Sultan r5 INTL
Problem: The battery appears to be malfunctioning somehow. After using "Pimp My Rom" and enabling some tweaks, the device began to randomly turn off and loop on and off with a white battery outline onscreen. Now, the battery has sufficient charge. When it finally turns on, it's always over seventy percent. When it does turn on, if it is plugged in on the wall charger, it immediately turns off upon disconnecting this wall charger. Also, it displays "Android is upgrading, starting apps" at every boot. Managing to turn on the device after doing a reboot with the power button many times takes up to 15 minutes. It sucks. ):
Steps attempted:
Reflashing ROM and kernel using exact steps (wiping all data, /system, cache, etc.).
Flashing Cyanogenmod 10.2 (8/05/2013) with Sultan r6.
Deleting battery stats.
Cleaning charger and microUSB port.
Rechanging tweaks to the values I remember in Pimp My Rom. (IDK about all of them, if someone could post the defaults that would be great).
Draining battery (I did to 1%) and then recharging. Should I drain until it turns off?
[EDIT]: Tried flashing to Chip v1.5 with r14 kernel. No luck; it is just a different battery icon.
[EDIT]: Tried flashing to stock with Odin.
Are there any steps that I could possibly take to fix this? Perhaps flash to stock and see if the problem persists?
[WORKAROUND!] I've found a workaround, however annoying it may be. Plug in the YP-G70 and it should bootloop with the battery icon. However, as the icon disappears and the screen is black for about a second, just before it is about to reboot with the icon, pull the charger from the device. This has guaranteed my device to start every time; I can't ensure that it will work for you, but it is worth a try.
Please help!
You need to either do a factory reset from within the settings or wiping factory reset from within CWM. If that doesn't work you may need to flash back to stock.

I have done many factory resets from CWM. Would flashing back to stock do anything that flashing another rom wouldn't?
Also, after scouring xda for answers, I saw iurnait recommended draining the battery until the device turns off. I'm going to try that I suppose.
I'd flash back to stock if that doesn't work

Unfortunately, flashing to stock using Odin didn't remove the problem.
I used a guide from androidromupdate
To be honest, I've given up. I'll update the original post with what I've tried and the workaround that I've found for this dreadful issue. If anyone else has this issue, best of luck!
I've got the same "boot loop with battery logo" problem, but without the random shutdowns are "android is upgrading" message on boot.
Some additional details:
I can boot into download mode without any trouble.
It will occasionally complete a boot, but gets stuck in the loop as soon as something causes it to reboot or shutdown.
I can sometimes boot into recovery mode. It will successfully go into recovery mode about 2-3 times before it will go into a normal boot.
Flashing alternate kernels (even going all the way back to stock) just changes the battery logo, but does not stop the bootlooping problem
The stock kernel was far more reliable than the others, often booting all the way after only 3 or 4 tries.
Throughout the boot loop, the battery logo (except in the stock kernel) will show as empty, even after being charged overnight
Upon a successful boot (all the way to android home screen), the battery is shown as fully charged (if it's been charging) or a level that seems probable (e.g. it'll show as 70-80% if it's been in download mode (which keeps screen on at full brightness) for a while or left to bootloop for close to an hour.
If it's not plugged into a charger, it only loops once each time you turn it on (i.e. battery logo shows for a few seconds then the device shuts itself off).
An update to Joseph's posted workaround:
I've found the button lights a perfect indicator for the timing. Wait for them to go black and then come back on very dimly then unplug the cable before the screen shows anything or the key lights go full brightness (like they are when device is fully booted and awake).
Hello guys!
I have a CCE SK504, a brazilian smartphone, and it works nice and all.
But i was trying to change my boot screen animation, when you turn on the cellphone, and i found one wich i liked. the resolution was wrong, so i opened the .zip file and edited the text archive ( 1080 x 1920, i changed to 540x960 that is my phone resolution).
It didn't worked very well
Now, when i turn it on, my phone shows "Android", but freezes in a black screen when the animation is supposed to come, and stays forever until i remove battery.
I can access the download and the recovery mode (by pressing vol + and power)
As the problem is on bootanimation.zip, is there some way to access phone internal files and change it to an valid .zip?
The sdcard works when i connect on pc, my phone is rooted but the recovery is not custom.
Thanks, and sorry about my bad english!
Bumping. thanks!
Bump, actually something happened:
i installed an rom in recovery mode.
Now when i turn the phone on, it shows ANDROID, but stays on a black screen like before...
So i got an friend phone and called my number
My cellphone started to vibrate! also the virtual keys vibrate when i touch then, but the phone stills stay with the black screen.
There is some way to force the image?
I have a nexus 5 rooted using 'Towelroot'
I wanted to change my boot animation, and did so using an animation installer. At first, I had the Android L boot installed and it worked flawlessly! Then, I came to XDA and found the "Boot Animation Hub".
When I was linked to his dropbox, I could not see any of the files so I randomly downloaded one. I installed it with ease, and kept using my phone. When the time came to see the animation, only the "Google" logo pops up for a few seconds, then the backlight takes over. No image is shown after that; the nexus boots fully (I can tell because I receive notifications/LED is blinking/ the screen responds to my touch with vibration and tones.
The problem: As I said, the backlight is only there. I cannot see any pictures whatsoever. The phone is completely on, but is not visible. I can reboot into recovery, and see Andy the Android, but cannot install anything, for when I go to recovery mode, it says "No Command"
Does anyone have any help?
Please, anything.
Thank you
