{ urgent } MOBILE NOT POWERING ON - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone so i have a 10.or G mobile,almost a year old.I havent done anything to the mobile-no root not custom roms not even updates.So a month ago the mobile was working perfectly like s new one ,but all of sudden the mobile turned off.At that time the battery was also pretty low around 15% so i thought that power was low and started charging it.
After an hour when i switch on the mobile it was blank.So after pressing the power button for a minute it powered on(normally pressing the button for 5 sec would power on)
but while powering on it would load till the 10.or logo halfway and then get stuck for around 3 seconds and then powers off.No matter how many times you power on the same thing happens.
So it loads till the logo,gets stuck,and shuts down again
But we can open recovery mode by pressing the volume up and power button
P.S:It is a non removable battery model
So please help me with what could have happened to the mobile
Also the official website has released the official kernal source code at
10or . com
So please help me with solving this issue

Prime Wont boot

So I have a standard vanilla prime except I rooted it to be able to hook up my six axis. Other than that it is as stock as you can get with OTA updates.
My problem is that last night it crashed on me and wouldn't turn on from the power button so I let it sit overnight figuring I'd deal with it the next day. And today it's not booting up. I have tried charging it, pressing and holding the power button for 10 and 60 second intervals, and holding the vol down button with the power button. Nothing is turning it on. Thanks for any help you can give.

[Q] phone not powering on

Hi guys,
I was using magic mod ICS as my 2nd system and last night phone battery level was 60% and when I woke up the phone didn't turn on so I had to hard reboot and it came on but there was many random freezes some times at M logo and sometimes during startup so I once again did hard reset and my phone didn't turn on at all. I tried keeping charger plugged in but the phone didn't even flash any light nor had indication that it was charging. Tried pressing power+vol up+vol down ,vol down+power and all combination holded those combinations for 5min but nothing happened :crying:
I googled and found that some thing caused deep battery discharge...so any solutions guys?

Phone will only power up for 7 seconds total

Had and still have an issue today. While driving earlier yesterday, I was listening to music in my car with phone connected on headphone jack. It made a buzzing noise( that came through car audio) , I disconnected and removed battery. I replaced battery and phone will not turn back on at all, will only show both Samsung logo's then go black screen. The phone will only power up for a total of 7 seconds from initial power up vibration on any combination of buttons,or even using a JIG
which went right into download mode.
- If I plug into power source , phone will just vibrate.
- I removed battery and replace, both Samsung logo's will appear then turn off.
- If I hold volume down + power button and place battery in, it will go into download mode. In this mode I can hit volume down to restart but it will just stay on black screen. Also if I hold these buttons down and do nothing the screen will just go black after a few seconds.
- I can also put into download mode to hook up to ODIN using same method and pressing volume up, but will say downloading then shut off.
- I've tried holding down volume up+down and power and it will not go into recovery.
- Odin with recognize it for a second (say device plugged in) and start to download files then it will say device unplugged after a few seconds
I've been looking at unbricking and unrooting threads with no luck. Any help is appreciated.
I don't know about the buzzing sound, but the rest sounds like a dead battery. Are you sure it's charged or that your charger didn't die on you? I don't believe phones brick after the flash is up and running.

Yes I'm 1000% percent sure its not a dead battery and even had it at AT&T warranty center this morning having them look at it. I was trying my luck even though its out of warranty. This issue is like none I've heard, because of the fact that phone actually powers up and I can get into download mode within those 7 seconds, but will shut off after. I've timed it till it powers off.

Am having this same issue with my girlfriends phone just as of a couple hours ago. It's completely stock and just recently received an OTA update a few days ago, she showed me bragging how she can watch videos and do other things at the same time now knowing how much I want a Note lol, she's had zero issues with it other than the battery getting very hot while charging a week or so ago and seems to be very slightly bulging now that I've looked at it. Out of nowhere today as we're walking through a parking lot and she's carrying it in her hand, not even using it, she says something is wrong with her phone and hands it to me with it vibrating every couple of seconds and not reacting to any buttons. I take the battery out and when we get inside put it back in and without even pressing anything it goes to the Samsung logo, black, animated Samsung logo, then turns off and goes back to vibrating every couple seconds. I look up the button combination for recovery and download mode and all that, I try recovery and it does the same vibrate every couple of seconds but never goes to recovery, and if I take the battery out, hold down volume down, then put the battery in it comes up with the warning about installing ROMs and all that, weather I press volume down or do nothing it stays at that screen for maybe five seconds then turns off and the only way I can get to the download mode is to take the battery out then press volume down. I have the Sprint Samsung Epic 4G and the batteries aren't the same but are very similar, mine is just shorter and 1500mAh, hers is taller and 2500mAh. So for the heck of it I put hers in my phone and hold it enough to where it connects and turn on my phone without issue, it boots up and shows 70% on the battery, I now have it plugged in and charging the battery at the moment with no issues. I put my battery in her phone and held it till it connects and it does the same Samsung logo, goes black, Samsung animated logo, then turns off BUT no vibrating anymore. If I press ANY button though as long as it's being held it vibrates every couple of seconds and if I hold volume down while I connect the battery it goes to Download mode but can't do anything and it turns off after about five seconds same as before, still no recovery access either. Heard that there is a power button issue with this phone and for the heck of it I've wiggled and pressed the power button with no charger or battery connected for around half an hour just to see if I can make it better, but no luck.
Hope to hear a solution to this. I would take the back cover off and clean the power button but I'm not sure if that would void the AT&T insurance, not going to try till I know I can get away with it without them knowing because if I can't fix it it's getting sent off for repairs.
EDIT: And sort of following captemo's suggestion I took a metal box, laid a hoodie over it for a bit of padding, then moderately bounced the phone on its power button side (without letting the power button be pressed/pushed, by letting it hang over the edge of the box) for a minute or so as if thinking the power button was stuck pushed in and I was trying to knock it back out, then put its battery back in and what do you know it turns on fine now. Weirdest way I've ever had to fix a phone, but hey it works now so the girlfriend will be happy.

Sort of is about right, glad you got it going. Many will complain about the button still clicking even though button is actually stuck. Many have cited some very simple sounding instructions for cleaning power button contacts with minimal deconstruction of phone. Using swab and alcohol. Run a search in q&a, sure you will get something.

clear cache from recovery and try again
It needs some time to reach optimum charge percentage for boot. Maybe you already figured that out. Well, good luck.

better visit service centre
1. First Charge your device to optimum level (50% Minimum).
2. Then Press Vol Down and Hold it, now without releasing it, press and hold Power button too.
3. Now release both the keys.
4. You will enter into fastboot screen.
5. Now you have to connect to PC.
6. Select Recovery.
7. Now motorola logo will be shown, press and hold vol up for 15 seconds and after 15 seconds press Power once.
8. Now you will enter recovery mode, now you can release Vol up key.
9. Now select Factory Reset.
10. After reboot, your device will work without any problem.
I just solved the same problem to my friend's phone!!
Ignore the stupid comments.

Just try to understand what the actual problem is, and stop posting stupid stuff. This has nothing to do with clearing cache, and recovery. How stupid are you people?
Anyway, it just a problem of over discharged battery when the battery drops below the 3.8Volts, which is the minimum voltage. When the battery reaches less than 0%, the phone will not allow it to turn on, as it is harmful for the battery and it might burst. So for security reasons, the phone stops the battery from charging. I faced the same problem many times. Try jump starting the battery anyway, or consider replacing the battery. Go to a electrician , and them him what the problem is. He will fix it. It is advisable, to never let the battery fall below 10 %. Below 0 % , the internal resistance of the battery increases, and sometimes, a direct DC charge , which is above 3.8 V , might bring the battery up to 0 %. This is a very difficult thing to fix.
I am facing the same problem too on my moto g 4 plus after using my power bank(power ace) I used it continuously for 3hours yesterday and i kept charging full night but morning i saw just 54%. In the evening again i used power bank for 3 hours. I didn't find what is the solution!! I charged it for few hours but it is not crossing 15%. I am scare about how to deal. I request the experts to help us.

Don't use moto charger, use any other charger for now
you solved this problem ? here is same problem
This happend with me once, I just let my phone keep charging overnight and it worked the next day, this has nothing to do with cache and recovery, your battery is discharged way too low, it might take 2-3 hours to charge 1 percent

Samsun Galaxy Mega - AT&T - won't power on

Read lots of forums that said might be a connector issue. I just replaced the port with no luck. Was using the phone after rooting and was doing research about installing custom roms. (I'm an apple guy trying out the android world). The phone just shut off. I thought it might have died so I tried to charge it. There was no charge light and even after replacing the port still no charge light.
I had tried to install twrp and it said there was an error and to try to restart when it gave me the "unsupported" blah blah "go to AT&T". A restart holding volume down+home+power then volume down got me going for the time being. After this is when I've been having the power issues.
I've tried holding the power for like 30 seconds and even tried holding volume up+home+power and volume down+home+power.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Bump
I did get the device to pop up in device manager
Still no light
My mega is reading software found on phone not authorized by Verizon so the phone won't come on
