Hello guys.
My Razr Maxx (german) is trying to die on me, it seems...
i.imgur.com/DUBXzsT.jpg
Shows this for like 10 seconds and then screen goes off. If I press the either volume button, the [?] instantly appears (it's on).
No idea what this[?] means. Googled quite a bit, did not find anything.
Now... the device's been dropped from the 3rd floor Nothing cracked, the only noticeable problem was that sometimes my signal would get low while in a call. The device is rooted. I was running Liquid Smooth; latest SafeStrap. Haven't had any issues of that kind before. My battery life was good.
One morning, I just woke up to this...
Nothing happens when I press the power button. This battery icon appears when I press the volume buttons.
I've left the device alone for a while as I was quite busy. The battery was flat as the screen did not turn on when I pressed the buttons. I connected it to the charger, the red Moto logo appeared and then the battery icon after a few moments...
I've tried charging it overnight. My charging cables are fine too.. I am able to reboot the phone holding all three buttons, red Motorola logo and then the battery [?] symbol again...
When I unplug it from the charger the [?] doesn't come up, battery is flat already, when I plug it back in starts up, logo, etc.
Tried holding the volume buttons during the red logo, still goes to [?]
Diagnosis?
Help!!!

I got to almost the same screen

To return to normal mode - first press power key to power down
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0
Battery Low

Ok, I also got to the
Boot Mode Selection Menu

Sooo.... Currently, I've got the phone cracked open in my kitchen using knifes and heat to melt the annoying plastic panel covering the battery connection where I needed to connect the wires of the charger
Big problem though! Cannot find the fastroot files anywhere!!
Do any of you guys maybe have them saved locally? All links point to droid-developers.org which is dead.
battery dead. nothing else!

Got a problem that I am hoping someone else knows how to solve:
Device: AT&T Atrix 4G stock 2.3.4 rooted (BL still locked)
Issue: Phone will not turn on or charge
Symptomshone suddenly turned off during a phone conversation the other day and now it will not turn on or charge. I noticed the phone was pretty hot when this occurred. Nothing happens when I hold the power button.I tried a new battery and same result. If I plug the moto charger in about half way I can get the green LED to come on but pushing in the rest of the way and it goes off and does not show battery image or moto screen. Plugging the phone into a PC causes a solid green LED. I have tried with a different charger (5.0V 2.1A) and same result as moto charger. If I plug in charger and then add battery and then hold power button it consistently will try to turn on (green led,screen powers up, and moto image for a second) and then it shuts off. I did this a bunch of times and noticed upper left corner of Phone getting warm (where the headphone jack is). I opened then phone up and didn't see any obvious problems. I bent a couple of the large spring pins around the headphone jack out for better connection and reassembled phone. Then it powered up like normal overnight but has been shutting off randomly. I was able to remove battery to get it to boot back up for a couple days but now it is dead again.
Any ideas? I am pretty sure I have a hardware or electrical connection problem. I really appreciated any guidance. Thanks.
Hi All,
I was out a couple of days back and my battery died. No trouble, come back home and charge it up. Worth noting that in recent months battery performance has been poor with a full charge only lasting about 8hours or so. I put this down to a new ROM I flashed as well as natural deterioration (18 month old S3).
Plug into the wall, red charging LED comes on, but the battery splash screen does not. Tried another charger...same. Thinking nothing of it I go to bed and wake up next morning to be greeted by a green charging LED. However, still no battery splash screen. I try to boot...it doesn't. When I "power on" the bottom LED buttons do light up white and go off after a few seconds. When I press the hold button again, they also come on for a few seconds. If i press the hold button while the button LEDs are on, they go off.
This makes me think the screen has broken as both the hold button and the charging LED is doing what it would do...but without any screen activity. However, it was not dropped or put under any pressure in any way. I have opened it up and also made sure the ribbon is undamaged and connected properly. I have tried calling the phone to no avail. It also does not vibrate or make any noises. Perhaps the battery doesn't have enough juice? Its as if its on the battery splash screen, I just cant see it.
I should mention the screen is infact cracked from an incident about 6-8 months ago. It was however, fully functional. Presumably, this will unfortunately stop me from sending it in. It was also using a flashed rom (CM11) and a flashed kernal (Boeffla).
I used a multimeter and measured 3.96v across the battery so that's fine. I can't test the current as I cant break into the S3 circuit and I dont have a resistor on hand to put some load on it.
Next steps?

Try to put it in odin mode (power+vol down+home then press vol up to agree that you are now in odin mode). You should see it in odin.
If you dont see it, your battery or energy system of your phone is broken. Otherwise your screen is probably broken?.

I've managed to get it into download mode and too show up in odin. I can also get it to show the files in Windows if i wait after holding the power button.
This all indicates it is in fact booting up and the screen is broken...
...BUT...no sound...no vibration...and no calls received
Its as if its only half on. Beginning to suspect a catastophic motherboard failure. Is it possible the battery is at fault? Its as if a whole power rail providing for the phone receiver, loudspeaker, vibrator and screen has gone.

Can you try this?

and let it ring?
hello! sorry, i'm completely new with this kind of stuff so please bare with me ;_;
i've recently dropped my xperia z2 phone into water and it won't turn on. charging the phone only shows a red LED and disappears once disconnected. the battery shouldn't be flat since it was 80-90% when dropped. i've tried holding the power button + volume up, which made the phone vibrate (three times i think?), but no longer does anything when power+volume up is pressed. when plugged into a computer, it says the usb device has been installed correctly, but it still does not read.
i feel there's not much that can be done, but i've put the phone in some rice for several hours now praying. is there still hope for me? ;__;
Hey fellows,
I had to replace the power button and everything worked fine for at least 5 days now, tested everything, reboot ,shut down, start up etc.
Only had to fixate the metal plate on which the Power botton sits with some Tape so it will not wiggle around to much, in end it only helped a small amount.
At opening the Phone i accidentally ripped a really really small piece of the Vol Down click off, only the half of the black clicker is left but totally click able and responsive, antering the Recovery mode and Download mode is working.
Now to my Issue:
When i went yesterday to bed my LG G5 had around 60% Battery power left. I woke up today tried to Knock On the Phone, no chance, so i though strange is the battery empty? I tried to start the Phone with the Power button and it vibrates an the LG Logo with Android beneath it appeared but shuts down after 2secs.
I grabbed my Charging Cable plugged it in and it says Battery 0% with the Lighting Symbol, here the Same happens as well, shows it for 1-2secs and turns off.
After that it shows me The different Battery with the Loading Symbole in it and does the same as well 1-2secs and shut down.
Download mode does the same, shows it for 1 sec and turns off again.
Recovery mode does the Same but sometimes i get to the second choice if i really want to wipe user data etc.
I took the Battery out, kept pressing the Power button 40sec+
Took the battery of the Modular and clipped it in without the Battery, after that it shows me a Battery with a red question mark on it, but the Display stays on.
I forgot to added, even if i keep charging it it says 0% and keeps on the same behavior. Only gets a bit warm nothing else.
Now is my Question is my Phone dead? Do i need to get a new one?
Has anyone a Idea what i could try?
I would really appreciate help with this.
I think your mainboard is dead . it's not a bootloop .

Thank you for your Reply!
Hello,
My phone's battery was starting to have issues so I bought a new one and replaced it yesterday. I've done it recently on another phone (same model) so knew what I was doing when reassembling it, with the right adhesives and everything. Then I left it plugged for the night as this was advised by the new battery's seller. But this is what happens this morning when I try to turn it on:
- Phone doesn't vibrate when pressing the power button, neither when holding different combinations of Power + volume, etc.
- When I plug it this is what happens: imgur[dot]com/fByubwN The screen turns on as it would normally do, displays the 100% charged battery logo and then just dies (with the green led remaining). The only way to turn the screen on is to unplug and plug it again. But the phone itself isn't booting.
Any thoughts appreciated!

I'd say that the battery is at fault. It can be two things:
- it is not correctly plugged (maybe the connector is not perfectly aligned, or one of the pins is bended)
- it is completely depleted, so won't charge at all.
Disconnect phone from charger and try to test voltage on the motherboard with a voltmeter. If you can't read anything, disconnect the battery and test it directly.
Personally I would say the first problem is more likely - a completely bricked battery is not that common.
Actually the battery was fine. I've opened it again and turns out I've kind of messed up with the flex connectors of the motherboard.
So I was able to boot it while it's open but as soon as I reassemble it, the controls are not detected anymore. It's a matter of millimeters, some parts probably don't sit properly, etc.
We spent some time on it with a guy at a local repair shop, the conclusion was that I had to get a new phone, or a new motherboard which is almost the same haha.
Thank you for taking the time to reply!
