When i plug my charger into my phone it just turns on then goes to the empty battery icon and then shuts off.. then it starts again and it does this loop until i unplug the charger!
Anybody that has a clue why it does that?
Thanks!
Is your phone completely drained? Might be that the charger isn't feeding the phone enough power. Just a shot in the dark, you could try taking the battery out for 5 minutes or something.

Tried pretty much everything.. The empty battery icon juist loops, first it turns on then turns off and it keeps on going like that for ever. I have flashed both kernel and firmware. The flashings were unsuccsesfull..
What does the charger need in the system files to actually give the phone power? I mean i have charged if for serveral hours without any luck..
If i go into download mode it just tells me that i got to low battery and that i cant download..
Plz help someone!
Charge battery outside of phone then flash a stock rom via Odin and download mode .
That not possible you need a service centre .
jje
Any tips on how to charge it outside the phone? I don't have any external charger..
And what isn't possible? Are u refering to what i said about low battery text in Download mode? Cuz that is what it says everytime
I MOVED THIS TO A MORE SUITABLE AREA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19126103#post19126103
After rooting and getting my unlock pin, I uninstalled some pre installed apps.
When I try to turn on my phone - unplugged from any charger, it shows the battery empty symbol (sometimes it just does nothing) and wont let me turn it on. BUT! when I plug it into the charger it shows the true charge of the battery (100% at the moment) and I can turn it on.
Another thing I've noticed is that holding the buttons for download mode puts me in RAMDump Mode, and Recovery mode is now a different button combination.
I have to put it in download mode Via ADB commands.
So my problem is I cant turn my device on unless its plugged in - but once it's on, it no longer needs to be in the charger.
I have unrooted it and flashed the firmware via ODIN several times now which has not helped.
Please give ANY suggestions!
try factory reseting

I selected the option for that on the phone, but it doesn't actually reset to factory state.
Which is why I've tried to flash it back using ODIN, but that still leaves the same issue behind.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Flash a new Rom? I think you have messed up with system files.

Thanks for the replies.
I have fixed it.
I drained the battery completely, and let it turn itself off. I then charged it up again and this seems to have fixed it.
I can now turn it on without it being plugged into the charger.

After it turned itself off... did you charged the phone turned off?
I have the same problem and I don't find the solution...
Ok, I tried root, installing a new recovery and then installing CM 7.2
1) Photon Torpedo for root - no problem
2) Installed CWM recovery apk - and then boot into CWM recovery - no problem
3) Backup system to sdcard - no problem
4) install CM7.2 + gapps - it flashed no problem
(now as you can tell, i forgot to unlock the bootloader)
5) reboot - PROBLEM
I got the "Failed to Boot 2" error, i had it plugged into AC and had 70-80% charge when i started, however, i let it set after the reboot for 20 or so minutes, was off doing something.
I tried rebooting a couple of time, same problem
EVENTUALLY: It would simply not turn on anymore, i think the battery is drained and it will not charge being plugged into wall socket or USB.
How do I get it to charge?
- Do I find a friend with a photon running stock that i can put my battery in, will it charge that way?
- Can a sprint store simply charge the battery for me?
I figure once I can get that going, I can run RSD lite and recover via an SBF image.
Thanks
This has happened to me.. battery drains and doesn't whant to boot.. what I do is.. take battery out., plug in ur charger.(sometimes you get a white light,) press power button, YOU KIGHT HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES until the green light comes on..but once you see it put your battery back in.. and it should start charging.

When I say several times.. I ment unplugging your phone from charger, plug back in , push power button.. and again( until it powers on) not just pressing power button until. Didn't know if I specified well enough. Hope this helps.

i actually tried a different usb port a bit ago and have a white indicator light on now while plugged in... not sure what that means
I will try your way in a bit if this doesn't mean anything useful tho... thanks
K, am nor really sure what the white light is either.. I just know, on stock when you plugged phone to charge (being dead) green light turns on,screen Motorola logo shows then goes to a battery charging animation.. the white light did nothing for me. But hope you run better luck.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
after about 5 minutes i got a green light now... maybe the software for the battery charge display got whacked when i wiped system and tried to install CM 7 - but the hardware part of the charge works.
The only thing I can think of is that white means: i'm charging, but don't try to boot me up at the moment.
I also notice, once it gets a charge it tries to automatically boot - anyway to avoid this?
If its charging you should be able to just boot into RSD lite mode without the phone trying to boot into a ROM..
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
If the phone is off and u plug it to charge, it shouldn't boot into the ROM, yes the Motorola logo comes up as it does when u turn the phone on, but then goes to charging..
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Well, every time it boots i get the
"Failed to boot 2"
Something about NvFlash (can't remember the text)
"Battery to low to flash"
Then it is just stuck there, but not sure if it is charging at that point or not... but not sure if i have enough battery to RSD Lite an SBF image

Mine boots into *nothing* i forgot to unlock the bootloader so the rom i flashed gives me a "Failed to Boot 2" every time it powers on
K, let me power my phone off and kinda try to recreate the "not charging while plugged in" problem.. (sometimes it happens when I power off.) And ill see wich method gets the phone to just charging.. br
worse comes to worse, i know someone with a photon and i can ask if i can charge my battery in their phone
Just tried it.. and yeah phone wouldn't boot or charge by pressing the power button or connecting to charger.. but I did what I always do.. pull battery, connect charger, green light turns on, I insert battery, and goes to charging.. I also tried goin on RSD lite mode without battery inserted. And I got the same error about battery to low to flash. Have you tried this method I just wrote in this reply to get battery to charge?
Sent from my Mopho Cm7.2
Here are a couple things i tried
1) remove battery
2) make sure phone is not connected to charger
3) plug in charger
4) logo appears - says "Failed to boot 2"
5) as "Starting RSD Mode" starts, i have inserted the battery
6) I still get "Battery is too low to flash"
also tried tried with vol-up (Fast boot mode) and vol-down (NvFlash recovery mode) - and ultimately i get "Battery is too low to flash" no matter what
Thanks for the help, however.
side note: found an external battery charger for the photon on amazon for $4, i might just buy one.
Did u insert battery before logo appears? If so, then I am out of ideas, lol hopefully you can get it working soon.

I just tried something like that now. The charger is plugged into the wall outlet. Basically i plug it in, green light comes on, quickly snap the battery in place before logo appears
I get the logo and the messages at top as normal, but at that point, i don't think it is charging anymore
Lol darn it.. at that point am out of options.. sorry it didn't work.. btw how you forget to be unlocked lol.. anyhow I would go to your friends, borrow his charged battery just so you can get to stock, and start fresh, then return battery obviously, lol
Sent from my Mopho Cm7.2
Yeah i have to charge it elsewhere - i just read some other threads here about people messing up their boot with a "Failed to boot 2" error, the system simply will nto charge a battery at the boot loading screens... so, I bought that charger off amazon for $7 (including shipping), be nice to have it if i continue to fiddle with the phone.
for the next few days... people can't call me... whoop de doo. However, I am pretty certain it is not bricked, so i'm not freaked anymore.
Still, thanks for all the help you tried!
Could you post a link for that charger, I have a second battery I would like to be able to charge.
Lol.. well there u go,

Hi,
My ace suddenly stopped turning on... I sent him to reboot and it just turned off.
When I try to turn it on it doesn't do anything. I went in recovery mode and wiped cache and did a factory reset and sent again to reboot... Nothing!
Then I pluged the charger and It wake up.... But battery is still around 50%!
I thought everything was ok till I turned it off and tryed to turn on... Same problem!!
The phone is rooted, custom rom, always worked fine and I didn't do anything to this happen...
Basicaly it only turns on when the carge cable is pluged... Even to go into recovery I have to take out the battery around 10 seconds and put it again... I can only go to download mode with charger cable pluged!
HEEEEEELP PLEASE !
My phone has to turn on even when without the charger....
Edit: Sometimes, when I try to turn it on without the charger pluged it gives show the empty battery image for around a second... After that, it dies... When I connect it to the charger it shows the battery full... Already wiped battery stats, nothing worked.
I'm having kernel issues so I wanna reflash. The problem is that I cannot turn off the phone because as soon as I insert the battery the phone turns on so I can never get into flashmode. I cannot boot Android or get into recovery either to turn off the phone the normal way. Any other options other than waiting till the battery is dead?
Try leaving the battery out for 5 mins and see if it doesn't boot up this has happened to me a few times inserting battery not long after taking it out and the phone booted itself left the battery
Out for sometime and it didn't do it

Yeah that did the trick. I thought of this not long after posting this question, it's so obvious I guess I didn't think of it at all. Thanks for the answers! :good:
No problem, for anything else just post questions/doubts
