Well my Moto E seems to have been unstable recently with a mega unstable cyanogen up date and has had booting issues and constantly turned on and off and now only charges and doesn't turn on. Yes i have attempted to g into recovery. Also if this helped when i attempted charging it once the LED light stayed on but didnt appear to charge so a changed it to another and it charged up with a battery icon so this is really confusing me. Help

Charge it overnight, and then remove the phone, and try booting into fastboot, (volume buttons and power button for 30 seconds)
and then go to recovery

Thanks for the help but it didn't work

Means you're not able to get into fastboot mode??

[SOLVED] black screen, flashing red light

So hey guys, I was just playing a game this afternoon when my phone suddenly went black (while being in the charger).
Now the red notification light is flashing and the keys at the bottom are also lighted. The keys do give a vibrating feedback, but my screen keeps black.
Holding power-button results in flashing keys, but when i release the power button nothing is changed to the previous described situation..
Any idea's what to do..?
------------------------------------------------
Update:
It rebooted again! After lots of tries and wondering if i should take it back to the dealer i found the solution!
What i did was:
- Press and hold volume down button, add and hold the power button.
- Wait till the capacitive keys start flashing and then release the volume down button, but keep holding the volume button!
- Now my phone boots normally.
Not sure if this normally makes you boot into recovery, but it made me able to power my device back on!
are you completely on stock or did u flash any rom/kernel?
there are two things i can think about:
you maybe flashed a oced kernel, set it to performance (locked it at 1700ghz quad maybe) and put it on the charger while gaming. if you did that i can imagine that your device just overheated but you should have realized that by holding it in your hands while gaming.
another option is that it's just stuck.
do you have debugging mode enabled? then try if adb can find your device and maybe even kill processes or reboot
other thougt: as long as you don't have twrp as recovery let the battery run down and just plug it on the cherger over night as long as the hardware is allright it should turn on again

Sorry, but what is a oced kernel..? It is possible that it overheated, but i have put it down for 3/4 hours now and still nothing changed..
I have it enabled, but my computer doesn't find my phone anymore so i cant use adb..
And 3rd i do have twrp as recovery, but I don't really get your poin on that. I have to run the battery down, but still put in on the charger over night?
edit: It just went out of battery because the red light stop flashing. Then i put it on a charger and it started flashing again..
now what..
Re: [Q] black screen, flashing red light
On my last HTC device. Flashing red light meant you killed your battery.

You shouldn't have let your battery die when you have TWRP because the recovery doesn't allow you to charge your phone when its dead and that is a known error. Might be time for you to get a batter replacement my friend.
Re: [Q] black screen, flashing red light
something similar happened to me last night only i wasn't gaming and my battery was dead. i plugged it in and turned it on and my system ui stopped. so I reboot to fix but screen went black and lights went off (except for red led) but didn't come back on. tried to turn on with power button but nothing happened. i held power but for longer and got flashing buttons and red led went out. tried again and same but led started flashing.. another try and just got flashing buttons.. gave it a couple minutes and tried again and it came on. battery was @ 0 after boot. i also have twrp

problems charging

just wondering if anyone has come across this problem before,
it rarely charges to 100%, sometimes 83%, 85%, 95% but hardly ever to 100%
after having the tablet on for any amount of time, when i turn it off, i have to press the power + volume up wait for 3 vibrations otherwise it will just keep powering on and off like it was in charge mode
i first thought it was something i installed, so i reinstalled CyanogenMOD 12.1 again, making sure to fastboot flash boot boot.img in hope to sort out the battery/charge problem
i am at a loss, even when powered off i lose charge while charging, i have tried various cables and chargers, when i turn it off i want it to turn off and not keep powering the screen as if i was pressing the power button while it is charging

I have this too. Think it's a hardware defect. I'm out of warranty too. Also running cm12.1. I tried to ftf stock. Had same issue.

Moto E: nothing shown on screen, white LED is blinking long short

I reflashed to stock rom. After that (succesful boot), it suggest to update to a newer Firmware. I agreed. Then it doesn't awake anymore.
Even long press to power there is no sign of life.
If I plug the power, the white LED goes on for a certain time. I guess it is until it is fully charged.
After this it starts blinking: long, short, long, short .. a few times, than it stops
After pressing the keys, blinking starts again - with no stop until unplugging USB.
Is there any hope to recover it. This time I have not much hope ....
In my moto E, when I connect to charger, the white light blinks for 1 sec, then goes off. No long press, anything is working

1. Press and hold power button and connect the charger
If white screen appears then go for next step
2. Unplug the charger once and again connect your charger without pressing any button
3. Let your mobile get charged
4. Then flash stock/custom ROM (search in XDA thread)
NOTE : Don't use stock charger(default charger comes with your mobile kit)
USE DIFFERENT CHARGER
Hope it helps you:good:

Used a Samsung Charger, pressed power and plugged in. Nothing happened first. After a while (i guess I released the button) the white LED starts blinking again. And it still blinks.
I haven't seen anything on screen since this update happened ...
Seems to be really screwed.

Can you go to fastboot mode??

No, Power + Volume down (also tried Volume up) - nothing helped.
The only sign of life is the white LED that seems to indicate charging (if it is on/not blinking).
The second is this strange blinking, I can start with Power + Volume down (but only if USB cable is plugged).
But a "adb usb" reports "no device/emulators found"

The whit led flashing happens when the battery is deep discharged....Put it on charge for at least 20 minutes ...Then try turning it on ,or going into fastboot mode by disconnecting the charger first

From my experience the White LED goes on (not flashing) if it charges.
It goes off after fully charged. I keep it on charger for many hours.
The LED flashing only happens If I try to go into fastboot while USB is plugged.

You should try to go into fastboot when the phone is fully charged ,rather than when it is being charged ,I have seen it that behaves weirdly when trying to enter into fastboot with the charger being plugged in .

Mh, from what I see - if there is no USB plugged, it happens nothing at all. I can preess Power or Power+Volume up/down as long as I like ...

A question, which stock ROM version did u flash 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 ?
I was on Lineage, flashed back to stock. Probably to 4.4.2. Than it wants to update to newer stock release, guess 4.4.4 but not sure. Do you think this matters?

See other threads, u did a mistake by flashing 4.4.2 . You should have flashed 4.4.4 instead. Accepting the OTA, you have hard-bricked your device. It can't be restored as of now. Buy a new device

Do you have the v4.4.2 ROM as I just want to check if otg is working or not. As only words are flying around I just need to confirm it.

As mine one is a brick I deleted all the tested roms and stuff. Sorry.
But as far as I remember OTG doesn't work on Moto E.

Will verify, no OTG support on stock.
xt830c variant but i doubt that will make any difference lol.
Your device is hard bricked now same as mine. I did the same thing 1 year ago.
I haven't found any solutions yet.

Let's wait if these guys find some solution.
Btw if anyone have a working Moto E please update the image file on drive and share the link over there.
That will a great help.

Probably, the phone fully drained its battery power. (Cuz of red notif led).
Plug your phone and let it charge. Check the LED if changed color to yellow

Can i ask if fastboot works (pressing power+vol down) and try to reset it. And boot it again.

Try other methods too on that link.
Dont forget to plug your phone, charge it about 3 to 5 minutes.

It begins turning on if i press long enough, but instantly shuts down because no battery (i have it connected to the charger). When i turn it on on fastboot mode it just gets stuck there with that rabit fixing an android robot image and doesn't do anything else...

Very sorry! I meant Recovery mode (hold the volume up & power button) then reformat it. Do it while charging.

Mi A3 not booting in any mode, even no notification light on connecting charger

Hi,
I need help with Mi A3 which was running in Android 10.
Suddenly it shut down around 30% battery and was not booting after that.
Unable to boot it either in fastboot or recovery mode, no notification led on charging also.
It once booted into fastboot, but i restarted to try booting in recovery mode for resetting, but it didn't boot in recovery and later not even fast boot.
I tried following
Try 1
Charging overnight. (didn't worked)
Try 2
Disconnect battery.
Press and hold power button for 2 mins.
Plug in charger while holding power button.
Release power button after a minute.
Connect battery.
PS: It happened on the night of the last day of warranty :crying:
Edit: One strange thing i noted is that when I keep the power button pressed, i can hear some mild ticking sound holding phone close to my ear, on intervals just over 1 sec .
Can anyone help !!!

Sounds like a HW issue, so probably only service center can help. It might be cheaper to buy a new phone instead though (especially if they need to replace whole motherboard).

Hard bricked Mi A3
I accidentally bricked my phone after successfully flashing a miui rom in MiFlash. After flashing on MiFlash, my device stopped functioning. The only response I could get from it was in the miflash. I already tried flashing firmware I watched on...
