Disconnect the battery and plug your device in to a PC or laptop and check it with 2-3 different working data cables, if you get a Mi logo then it means the batter was/is dead. if it still doesn't work and you don't get anything on the screen then try to flash a MIUI Stock firmware and see what it says. i had the same problem apparently but in my case the EmmC died on my mobo so i replaced it and it's been working fine for 4 moths now.

Not seen that mentioned before willing to give it a try... Any links on how to do it... Google didn't bring anything back only charging boards? Sorry that was in reply to the zener diode comment.
Tried unplugging battery multiple pcs and cables no life from screen at all..

Thanks found the diode removed it and now I have flashing red led!

[Q] galaxy s2 won't come or charge

i upgrade from gingerbread to ics a week back with odin there wasn't any serious problem except for some java errors msgs,occasional rebooting and battery disconnected alerts. The frequency with which all this error occur reduced to some manageable level which was okay with me. Two days ago i tried charging the phone it, displays the battery charging icon but the white dot that moves at the bottom stops at the 2nd white spot and the phone acts like i just re plugged it, i have tried booting into recovery or odin mode with the three button combination all to no avail.

Try pulling out battery and wait 10mins, also check if u have enough battery left before u start odin again.
It's very strange if u can't use recovery or odin mode cuz the phone shouldn't boot in the first place.
I got the same problem my usb port is kinda broken, so i charge the phone with SGNote externel charger, but then my phone will act strange, It connects with charger and then disconnects when its unplugged.

Remove battery for 10 mins, then replace and leave to charge, even if nothing comes on screen etc just leave it plugged in and charging for a few hours or obvernight.
After that try booting up into download or recovery if still nothing happens try a USB jig. If that doesnt work your device is pretty much screwed and you will have to send away for JTAG flash or mobo replacement.
Btw, this has pretty much already been covered a million times in the other "my phone wont turn on" threads.

I will try this thanks.
May be many S2 devices have this problem. And I had too. It 's often hardware related problem. After reparing it 's ok. But firstly, try to clean charging port, if it does not resolve, bring it to service care.

[Q] Bricked WT19i?

Hello guys,
I own WT19i from more than year. Last months I was using LegacyXperia 10.2. And everythingwas working flawessly. But today phone become dead... I was using it normally and left for 2 hours on the desk. Battery was fully charged. When I come back phone didn't react on any button. So I pulled out the battery, then putted it back. Still nothing. Trying to charge - nothing. Trying with other battery - nopthing. Trying boot to flash or fastboot mode - nothin. I've tried with 2 different batteries, 2 USB cables. Still nothing. It seems that phone is completly bricked but I can't find a reason.
Any ideas what else should I dp?

No, nothing happens - no reaction on anything :crying: It's dead at all... I just ordered Moto G so I'm moving to Moto G threads... See you guys, keeping fingers crossed to LegacyXperia devs and users.

Phone Bricked, maybe? <RED notification light>

So this is my story. I compiled aosp and flashed my new rom, clicked reboot and boom. Nothing works.
When I use a charger / usb red light notification flashes. Also, sony pc companion sais (null) connected.
It won't turn on in fastboot, tried but I have no blue light notification.
The phone vibrates when I press power. Could this be because of a bad kernel ?
I will let my phone charge for a while, to eliminate potential causes.
Thanks .

I don't know anything about the red LED. Googled a bit and many told that the phone is unrecoverable.
I let it charge over night, but it's not responding anymore. No vibration, no led no nothing.

It's recoverable, you just need some patience (happened to me once). Check the methods in the link above.

How can I follow those instructions if the phone won't charge ? Should I give it another day plugged in the wall charger ?
The main thing I want to do is go in fastboot and flash another kernel, as I know it is the main problem.
But the phone doesn't charge. No response whatsoever. I had it charging for 8 hours or so, still nothing.
If anyone has a magnetic charger, can you tell me which one is the ground and which one is the + ?
It doesn't matter if you're charging via magnetic cable or normal USB cable.
As described in the thread that I linked you to, a red LED means that the phone is charging in 'low battery level charge mode'. Read post 2 of the thread, with the header "Now after the phone has reset and you have the red led". You just need to charge your phone longer.

Hey... Bro maybe you are using a different charger or you may be getting a low voltage .....that can be only reason....I've faced this problem don't panic
redmi note 3 charging fix
I too had the same problem and I tried flashing in fastboot and other things stated in internet. But I replaced charging port newly purchasing online. If your mobile is still in warranty period fix it in service center or replace it yourself. Check YouTube for how to replace charging port. You can buy charging port from eBay or Amazon or any other desired site. Check your phone has 24 or 30 pin in charging port board of your phone. Because Redmi has two variant. If you have any doubt just google it.

I don't think it's ROM or kernel,
I have the same issue.
It doesn't charge even in power OFF mode, and also with the STOCK ROM.
I changed the charger/cable. doesn't work.
I use an app called 'ampere' and it's saying the phone is discharging. but the cable is plugged.
probably it's the charging socket.

Had the same problem & solved it
Hi,
I had the same problem - when connecting the charger (any charger/laptop etc I tried) the phone started charging, then stopped and started charging randomly.
What I did: Open the phone, brushed the USB board, took dusk and dirt out of the USB port, and it works like a charm again.
I used this instruction video and followed the steps exactly, apart from taking out the USB board which isn't necessary if you only clean it. You will need some tools (most importantly a small screwdriver and an (old, used) toothbrush.
I'm a new user so I cannot post the link. Search on youtube for the video with the title: How to Replace Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Note 4 , Redmi 4A , Redmi 4 and Redmi 3s Carging port ( Pin )
Good luck.
I have solved this problem
Turn on USB debugging from developer mode then put your phone on charging for 1 full night in switched off mode ...
It will charge normally
.
.
.
Tell us if its work for u ... your feedback will help others
its work for me after researching for 3 days
If you guys are using fast charge or QC chargers with custom kernel, Sorry to say that charging and discharging randomly is because of that. You are gonna destroy zener diode which stabilize current passing thru it. If input current suppress 5V it will burn your zener and your device will completely stop charging. (Only working aftermath way is removing burnt diode)
I highly recommend you guys to stick with stock chargers. Or use kernel that limits its current to 2100mA (approx) (Agni kernel has it) to avoid damage to zener diode.
P.S:- Once you replace your USB board, I am pretty sure that you will face some serious network issue like most of users (those changed board) are facing.

Charging problems with Redmi note 3 special edition (global / pro)

Hello,
I think this is really weird.
After a few days I´m not able to charge my phone anymore.
not on: Aukey QC3, IPhone 5se, motorolla, no name charger, original, my work notebook USB port.
Nothing charge it.
Until I plug it into my home desktop PC.
Can someone explain what is happening?
I think it is a ROM bug, since I could open fastboot and the mi flash tool does detect it. And it is now charging (again) ... this happened the second time now...
Any tips?
strange....

Yup, very strange. I think I read something somewhere about a similar issue.
Most people think there USB port is broken. But I think they have the same issue but just no PC which works (as noted my work notebook does not work, but my desktop PC does...) it was also detected in in fastboot mode on my work PC (just to low on power to try) ...
I had a simmilar problem (well, I still have). I removed the back cover and removed the battery cables - and plugged them in again. After a couple of tries it started charging again. But yesterday my phone fell and since then I can charge it only via a huawei charger. The Xiaomi one doesn't work. One thing is for sure... If you get a red blinking while the phone is turned off and charging, you must let it rest for about a minute in order to plug in an other charger and start charging again ...

Exactly, but I dont have a huawei charger... Just my desktop pc... which produces basically the same result. So I guess it is a Kernel / ROM issue?

Hi ,
Some people got this issue fixed by returning back to stock ROM.
You can try that.
In my case the charging port was busted so I got it replaced from service center

I was on stock, after the second time I switched to global developer version. Let's see how it goes...
But why should a buster charging port only work on PC? And after that normally? (for a week or so)

Yes in my case no charger was able to charge my phone only USB was charging.
So I went to global dev ROM using EDL mode and then went to service center. They replaced it in 30 mins. Also my charger was not working so they replaced charger as well.

Can you try with MIUI stock ROM and tell if you are still facing the problem? This should mostly be the ROM problem like you said.
