I connected my phone to the car charger and it turned off abruptly, no longer turns on and only turns on the led light when it turns on to charge, I tried to hold the buttons to turn on but no reaction.

Then check first your charger cable in the car, maybe is damaged, are you using exclusively this cable to charge? cause some cables are adaptable to use them like data usb with pc. maybe it´s needed if this happen again that you replace it.
And your device is turning on again or is missing in bootloop?

Then you have to reinstall the rom/firmware original to restore your device to its initial state.
here you have the rom from official web Asus https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_BIOS/
And here one version more and more explanation on how to made a flashing process with the necessary files https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWBc06G_UtI
From here if your other device has the same issue maybe replace the cord charger will be the cheaper solution

I just picked up a used atrix that the owner said wouldn't charge. I swapped a known good battery in it and was able to get it to boot up. Thinking the USB port probably need replaced I looked for damage but could not find any and all the water sensors are fine. It wont charge from AC or from my computer and I have tried with 3 different known good USB cables and 3 different known good wall units that provide at least 5v (2 were official motorola chargers). Oddly enough my computer only detects that the phone is plugged in if the phone is in RSD mode or fastboot mode. I used rsdlite to flash back the 4.5.91 sbf hoping that a factory restore would do some magic but still no charging or mass storage mode identification. Any ideas or do I need to get comfortable with a soldering iron?

same problem here, hopefully someone finds a fix.
For the heck of it i created an active usb cable and re did the auto unlock procedure and flashed epinters latest cm10 build. After boot the charge indicator came on but still didn't appear to be charging. Rebooted into recovery and factory reset then powered it down. I then plugged it into my tablets usb charger that outputs at least 9v and for the first time it went to the charge screen. Now it seems that it's able to charge again finally.

Google it. In a nutshell, an active cable is a cable that has the fifth micro-USB pin (which is normally unused) connected to the (+) pin.
Hey guys,
Just got the 5.1.1 update to my g watch and i noticed some charging differences, namely i can no longer charge my watch with my pc (its an always on pc). I checked cables etc and all are fine, and it will still charge through an AC outlet. Ive tried usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports.
Just wondered if anyone else had noticed this behaviour? The charging indicator wont even show up when its plugged into my pc. Also noting that usb debugging still works through my pc and all is detected fine there

I have the same update, and have the same problem as you, I only noticed it last night when I put it on to charge, I charge mine every night on the same usb port and have had no problems till last night, like yours mine will only charge from mains now, I've tested all my usb ports and they are all working okay. I hope some one has an answer for it.
I´ve checked this and mine works perfectly with a 5m cable connected to a usb hub. I´ve checked with other cables and without hub, and this still works.
I was able to address the issue by rebooting the watch.

If i reboot the watch whilst it is on the charger, it charges via usb in my pc - but if i take it off and put it back on, the problem returns, despite it still working with an AC charger, i'm assuming this is a software problem as android knows when its charging via usb or AC anyway. Hopefully a dev over here or the LG guys will fix it - i don't want to have to restart my watch every time i want to charge it, it's a pain in the arse and i shouldn't have to do it - i have a lack of AC ports in my room, hence i charge through my pc

My watch was slower to charge I did notice that. Took an entire extra hour!

Hi
I have 2 chargers because I use one for travel. After updating to 5.1.1, one works and the other does not. I swapped the components and found it was the cable. I hope that this helps.

All my cables seem to produce the same result, maybe it's just me - i tried the one that came with a quick charge charger and even that does the same thing. hmm, will pick up a new cable tomorrow and check it out!

I wouldn't bother. Some chargers just behave like USB devices to be able to charge older Blackberrys. I used the same cable with the PC and with a wall wart. Only the wall wart works unless I reboot the watch.
Thanks, most people seem to confirm its a bug.. That's what I love about xda, you can always find things like this. Thanks for all your help.
Hi, glad I found this thread.
I am having the same problem. It doesn't charge since the 5.1.1 update, but if it lays on the charger and I reboot it, it charges. If I take it off and put it back on, it doesn't charge and I need to reboot it again.
Have the same problem. After reboot, it charges on usb much slower but doesn't look like it (No charging icon). Otherwise I love the update.
Did you all factory reset after updating your watch? I also couldn't charge until I rebooted but it charges fine after the reboot.
Same issue
I can confirm the same behaviour. I have to reboot the g watch and then it start charging. Definitely a bug
Same here, watch was charging wen I went to sleep but charging stopped at around 60%

I've expressed my frustration over at the Android Wear help forum:
https://productforums.google.com/fo.../VRbw2FWOaiI;context-place=forum/android-wear
Oddly, my watch did NOT include the wall charger even though I got it new from Best Buy. Did anyone else not get a wall charger? I'm not the type to just blindly miss something as useful as a USB wall charger. I remember opening it up and saying to myself, "I guess I'll have to use my monitors USB port." I don't throw that stuff out. I still have the box and all the packing materials as well, and it's nowhere in there.
I got some old Galaxy Player 5.0 model yp-gb70cw from my friend, and it's not turning On at all. I tried all kind of button combinations after phone was chargered for 3 hours (while charging there were no light indicator that it's getting any power). I even open him up and disconnect the battery and hold power button for minute and reconnect battery but still no life in that phone. Anyone got any idea what can problem be or what to do, I was planning to buy that micro usb jig, maybe that could bring him alive...
Anyone ?
A similar thing happened to my son's player a few months ago. He got an old 500mA usb charger, connected his player with the samsung cord and let it charge overnight. In the morning the player appeared dead. However, he unplugged the charger and held the power button for a few seconds and his player came back to life.

the usb jig may be worth a try, or you could try the jtag but other than that it may just be a dead player.

I found out that phone was working normal and teacher took it from a kid in class and shut it down, after that he can't power On anymore. Phone was not bricked I doubt that JTAG would work I mean JTAG is for unbricking device, right ?

My first question would be: Does the device really fail to boot or is the graphics chip broken, meaning that it boots but doesn't produce any output?
Since a player doesn't have any spinning parts which make noise as soon as you turn it on, it's hard to tell the difference. Can you connect it to a Linux computer and see what the kernel reports it sees? (journalctl -f or dmesg)

In principle, any distro should work, it's just about how to capture the kernel messages. You get part of it via the dmesg command, which you can issue in a terminal but to get the full picture, you have to read the system log, which is either by having a traditional syslog server running, like syslog-ng or rsyslog, or using systemd's log utility journalctl. Here, the easiest way of following the messages is by issuing the command "journalctl -f" in a terminal. Ultimately it really depends what logging facility the live distro offers.

I have two 5.0 players that the usb port no longer works for anything. They do not charge, nor do they recognise any charger or computer.
I would say open it back up and use a multimeter/voltmeter and check the battery to see if it has any kind of charge. Chances are it does not due to a bad usb port by the sounds. If it's not taking a charge it's not going to do anything. Do the battery check and maybe I can help you from there if your willing to frankenstien your player.
By the way I still use both my 5.0 players all the time. Just had to rig them up so they could take a charge. Thay still work fine aside from not having usb capabilites.

Okay, how to test that battery on multimeter it has 3 pins and they are kind of sucked inside of that plastic if I remember correctly.

the plastic tab that holds the battery pulls straight up. Use a fine tiped multimeter set on DC voltage and touch the probes to the two outer pins of the battery. If your multimeter is digital you will get a reading even if positive and negative are wrong, it will just read in the negative if backwards. If your meter is old school needle and you have the poles swapped you will see the needle go backwards, in which case just reverse the probes. This is all provided there is at least a small charge remaining in the battery. Positive wires are usually red, negative usually black but can also be blue, green or brown. I will look for my photo's of the 5.0 innards a little later on tonight for you.
If I remember correctly you need more then 3.2 volts for your player to boot up if it's going to.

yahya69 may be right, maybe the graphics chip is bad. Maybe the screen is shot. IDK. Make sure you are using an official samsung USB cable to connect.
Just received my awaited elephone p9000 today and had been using it for a couple of hours setting up, Doing an update etc. When i came time to charge it. To sum it up it used the supplied usb c cable to attempt to charge it on multiple usb chargers and tried it with two pc's with no success. When connected to the pc it did come up with 'This device has been linked" Then immediately followed by "this device has been unplugged" Or at least something along those lines. Today i went and purchased a micro usb to usb c adapter and managed to get it to charge momentarily then to find it stop then start again. I am now sitting on 1% power and not sure what todo. Any advice? I have warranty on it from gearbest fyi.

When I first charged my P9000 it did not go over 50% until I updated to the newest OTA and rebooted the device after the last update.
But I have not encountered disconnects or anything like that.
You could also screw your device apart and remove the battery for some time, but as you have a valid warranty I would not recommend that.

If you connect your phone to your PC, is it listed in the device manager? If yes, does your PC recognize it as Elephone p9000?
Have you installed the latest drivers for your phone? (http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VWgkX_RAU-0)
Maybe changing the connection type in the notifications (when plugged in) helps in any way ?
Have you tried a different lead? I know this sounds obvious but my brother had a similar problem with his P9000 when he first got it, he used my lead (for some reason my lead was different to his as I bought from a different supplier, dunno why mines a kinda thick white lead, my brothers was a kinda thinner blue Elephone lead) and it worked fine. Although I haven't come across anyone else on here that's come across an issue with the supplied lead.

It does multiple things when it connects at different stages
ON and connected to pc- With elephone cable the phone constantly displays the messages 'Charger has been linked' and 'device has been unplugged' within ~1 sec of each other and no connection is noticed on PC.
With the MICRO USB - USB C adapter nothing happens
Powered off and connected to pc- Charging symbol will flash momentarily every ~5seconds. Pc will ding repeatedly as it connects and disconnects
fastboot- Somehow connects and is recognised by PC
Ive managed to get it past 30% power but took ages todo from leaving it powered off and just flashing on and off charging

I only have 2 leads unfortunately. The stock elephone and a micro usb to usb c adapter with a working micro usb attached. Ive ordered some more online and waiting their arrival. Im stuck on what todo
That is indeed very strange.
You could try to flash TWRP 3.0.2.1 via fastboot (http://en.miui.com/thread-58623-1-1.html, just use the TWRP for Elephone P9000 instead), but I would not recommend that as your connection is really unstable. The chance of bricking your device is much higher than the chance that your problem is solved.
If the leads you ordered do not help you should get it replaced.
I have an S2 G9100 that developed a peculiar problem:
-It refuses to charge through a variety of charges/ports/cables.
-When connected to a charger or USB port, it turns on!
-Connecting the phone to the PC via USB does nothing. No notification on the phone, no filesharing possible. If the phone is turned off, a notification for a malfunctioning device comes on the PC while the phone [auto]boots.
-In a twist of luck, ODIN is able to see and FLASH the phone via the otherwise useless USB connection!
Tried several (4) different batteries and the behavior isn't affected. (The same batteries work perfectly in another SII)
After a lot of research on the net I couldn't find any really useful info among various good suggestions so I turn to the specialists..
TRIED:
Changing batteries didn't help.
Updating lineageOS 14.1 that was on the phone didn't change anything.
Reflashing the original firmware (4.1.2) through Odin was also in vain.
NOT tried:
I noticed a thread here with the suggestion to remove a capacitor for a similar (not identical though) case but I need to ask around before resorting to such drastic measures!
Bending the flap in the USB port doesn't seem necessary since Odin is working fine.
Replacing the bottom board with the USB port.
Any suggestions and thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

It doesn't work with the original 4.1.2 fw. I don't quite remember if this was officially supported there, do I need to flash lineageOS again to test it?

It should be natively supported as far as I know
But if OTG is broken + data transfer works + charging is broken then I think it's time to change or get rid of that OTG capacitor
Sent from my whyred using XDA Labs
First of all thanks for the fast responses!
This capacitor is there only to provide power to devices connected through OTG? Removing it instead of replacing it will leave me without working OTG but I should expect all other functions to come back to normal?
Do we have its characteristics so I can try to get a replacement?
(Also the broken home button is such a pain without ADB working, getting to recovery is a mission impossible)
no easy solutions for me!
I finally got to removing the capacitor only to find out that the behavior of the phone hasn't changed at all.
Luckily I didn't loose the connection via Odin, so I can still flash stuff to it!
The fact that it turns on when connected to USB charger (while having a battery with enough juice) must mean that something entirely different from what I was able to find online so far..I wish I had a clue how to proceed. Is there any cryptic partition that doesn't get replaced when installing official firmware in .zip format through Odin (AP button)? I'd like to be sure that I have restored the most low level pieces of software.
That a very weird issue. It"s either daughter board damage or a chip that is responsible for charging is fried

Yeah it is. And this phone has one of the most pristine interiors I've seen. No humidity sticker is activated and no visual signs of trouble besides the usual battery corrosion issue (limited on the battery for the time being).
The +5,3 voltage from the charger makes it out of the daughter board and data communication works through Odin so I have nothing to blame the daughter board for, but probably something hardware-wise has gone wrong since it turns on whenever the charger is connected and just reboots if you try to turn it off.
Is there a better way to make sure that we are good on the software side other than restoring the original firmware through a single zip file from Odin? (I have made all the backups I could through recovery such as efs, modem.img etc)
A clean reflash wouldn't hurt. One more thing. Install TWRP, boot to TWRP and connect the charger. I wonder if TWRP will recognise the charger
