US Unlocked model, it's been stuck at 0% battery for 5 days now. I've already tried the common suggestion to boot into fastboot mode and leave it plugged. I tried for 12 hours with the included charger with no luck, then for 12 using the Switch charger, then 2 days using my usual charger and sure enough when I press start, it shows the lightning charging symbol before inevitably shutting off without actually booting. Any time I try to power it on while charging it shows the symbol before powering off, and if I attempt to power it on unplugged, it shows the 0% symbol with the warning sign. Another note, I did not leave it dead for long. It couldn't have been dead for more than 10 minutes before I put it on the charger. Like I said it was in fastboot charging for 2 days and in the fastboot menu it says "Power: OK" while plugged but doesn't seem to actually charge the phone. Are there any other solutions?
You can try using Lenovo Rescue and Smart assistant and see if reinstalling the stock ROM will help in some way?

My photon was on 5% about an hour ago... then it turned itself off. I plugged it in to the charger and a "white/faint yellow" LED comes on. Normally the photon doesn't have a charge LED so this certainly struck me as odd.
It has been sitting for almost an hour and still won't turn on.
I took the battery out and reconnected the charger and the white/faint yellow LED comes back on, even with the battery pulled out.
What is happening here? Has anyone seen this?
I've see green/orange/red LED flashes for diff things but never white.
Well I found this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-photon/107931-led-not-working.html#post1147045
Looks like white means very low battery and charging. Now the white light has gone off while plugged in... But it still will not turn on
Turns out, I was plugging it into a PC usb that didn't have the drivers installed. The phone won't charge if the moto drivers are not installed, regardless of the light
I plugged it into a wall charger and viola... its back and running.
False alarm!
Lol, exact same thing happened to me! I totally freaked out, but plugged it in a wall and started working.
same thing happened to me yesterday. I plugged into the wall, NOTHING. I started freaking out, until I pulled the battery and re installed it. LED charge light then came on and all was good. Weird.
Can someone help me i have a photon also but when i plug it up it says failed to boot 2 starting rsd mode battery too low to flash and it wont boot up when plugged up to a computer. also when i plug it into the wall it just boot to the m sign

- Pull battery
- Put it back in so it's off
- Keep it plugged into the wall to charge it
- Once charged, power into RSD mode (power+vol up)
- Plug into computer and start RSD and flash 154_5 SBF to get back to stock
- then flash 198_7 SBF for good measure.
- Reboot
When i try that nothing works, it just stays on the white led light
I just bought mine from best buy and it did the same thing..they exchanged the phone since it was defective..

Photon won't turn on anymore. White LED when plugged in
i have a refurbished replacement photon from best buy geek squad that i got last month. within a few days it was acting strange and randomly/often turning itself off. the battery was fully charged yet the unit would often times power down. this happened a lot the first few weeks. then last week the issue seemed to stop and it stayed on 24/7 as i charged it frequently. all was well until yesterday.
i dropped my phone from about 2 feet. the phone turned off and only the "m" boot up screen appeared after i powered on, then it went black. i had a fully charged battery in the unit when this happened. i plugged the charging cable into the phone and it kept booting up to this static "m" screen then turning off. the LED notification light went red and after numerous times powering on and off and resetting the battery (and sim card) i finally got a "5%" battery screen. a few seconds later it showed 100% battery then kept rebooting to the static "m" screen and shutting off again. then i started getting a "?" screen for the battery a few times and back to the 5% and it changed to 80%/100% very quickly and back to the blank screen. i left it plugged in overnight.
now the LED notification light turned white and the phone cannot be powered on. i tried another battery without any success so that shouldn't be the issue.
any ideas what to try next?

Try to fully charge your battery using portable battery charger.
When battery full charge, try to entering recovery mode. From off condition, press both power and volume down, press down until you find android recovery and press volume up button. After you see exclamation logos, press both volume up and down. Then select wipe data. Hope fully you can still entering recovery mode.
If you cannot enter recovery mode, try to enter RSD protocol.
step is, connect your photon to PC using cable data, press both volume up and power, wait until it show RSD Protocol, than flash it again.
How to flash using RSDLite is in development section, you can read there.
Hopefully its can work

I just had a mini-anxiety attack until I found your post. Thank you!
Im on a trip, and my battery died. When I got to the hotel, I immediately plugged in my tablet. As soon as it got to 1%, it started booting up, but because of how much battery it uses just to boot, it basically died a second or two after it booted up. Then, it repeats. As soon as it gest 1%, it starts turning on again, then when it gets to the lockscreen, it powers down. It's like a bootloop, but I can't get out of it :crying:

You try holding the pwr button for about 10 seconds or maybe longer when it's trying to boot? It might force it to just shut down.
There's a "forced Shutdown" button right by the SD card slot (it's colored yellow in my sgp561, maybe different for other sub-models). Press that button for 10+ seconds using paper clip tip or similar pointed object and it will shutdown completely.
Another possible solution is to plug the charging usb cable to a high current usb charger (4 amp+) that should be able to supply the energy demand at close to 0% battery charge.
Another option will be to boot into bootloader. Bootloader uses barely any battery. When it's not plugged in and off, press and hold power+volume down. Then plug in. You could try to do that while plugged in, but likely not to work.
Hy everybody, my huawei g play mini won't charge. When i plug it in to the ac, it turn on with bootlogo and red light led start to pulse, but it does anything. If plug it out from ac, it stay a bit and then turn off. I can't turn on it in bootloader or recovery mode, and even if i leave it to the ac for the whole night it seems to be always discharged . How can i fix this issue ?

how old is it ?
the lgs were known for battery just crapping out and bassicly going into a bootloop
you might try a cheapo battery first
I had a old Samsung stellar do a similar thing I had to jump start the battery with a cut off power cord wired into the batt and the phone once it charged some it would turn on.
if I ever let it drop below 10 % or so it would do it again
It is almost 2 years old. I read about jumping battery, but in my case, phone has an internal battery. I disassembly the phone and pull out the battery but I don't know how jump it

I don't know how, but right now my phone can start again in recovery and bootloader mode. Then dissassembled it, i plug out display from motherboard and plugged in to the ac. After a while it boot up again in fastboot mode and flash twrp recovery and see battery recharger !
Z5C Compact is not charging or won’t boot up, Any help and suggestion Appreciated.
I have a Z5C Coral Brought from Malaysia(4 months ago) It is running the Australia Nougat Firmware 0.376.Yesterday and today I’m unable to charge my phone. Charger is getting connected, but phone is not getting charged. In Ampere(App) it shows USB Charger is connected but charging is Minus value (ex: -330mA).
Now the phone is 0% and I cannot boot the phone. When I plug the charger in it led shows red>green >blank and green stays on as long as you plugged the charger.
If I remove the charger the device will boot Sony logo >battery with red empty sign, then off or led blink red 3 times.
I tried connecting phone in different quick, 1500mA, 2000mA chargers, desktop, laptop USB2 & 3 port for few hours. But phone is not getting charged or booting up.
Thanks in advance for your help
UPDATE
I tried leaving the phone in charging mode green light for an hour (as mentioned in the above post.)
And the phone booted up in 14% charge. I did some backups and phone was shut down at 0%.
Now when I plugin the charger its showing red led> Charging with a Lightning bolt> then stays in red led for few mins> Then boots up with sony logo and then its > shows battery empty with 0%.
This cycle is repeating
I forgot to charge my phone and the battery drained. Now the moment I plug in the charger, no light shows up, but it boots the MI logo and gets stuck in a bootloop over and over again. I tried charging it via PC and but it doesn't do anything, no lights or any indication that it's charging/connected. I can't seem to boot to twrp (that or I forgot the right combinations since it's been a while, vol up + power then volume down after 10 seconds right?). I can boot it to fastboot mode when plugged on an outlet but I can't boot it at all when plugged on PC, even when using a different USB. I tried disconnecting the battery and plugging the charger in, and it still went through the bootloop even without battery. Is this a software problem itself or is it a battery problem?
Can you measure the battery voltage? If it is 0V, or just around 3V, it might just be the battery. If you feel comfortable dealing Li-Po batteries, you may attempt to charge it a bit, just enough for the phone to pick it up. Be sure to know what you are doing to stay safe.
