I was flashing my phone repeatedly last night. I've read the forums and have done about 4 successful flashes already. The problem is, I've found a WM6 rom for the Wizard that I wanted better than the ROM already inside my phone, and I proceeded to flash it. But I left the computer and phone by itself so that I could rest a bit (I've spent hours in front of the computer flashing my phone), and fell asleep. When I woke up, I noticed that the flashing failed, and it was at the tri-color screen. Then, it died on me. No battery, obviously, being stuck at the tri-color screen the whole night. Now, it doesn't charge or turn on. I know I just need a battery to run the phone. But where I'm from, batteries for the Cingular 8125 are rare, and I'm one of the few that has an 8125.
I don't know anyone who has a battery for the 8125, and there's nowhere to buy from here. Any recommendations?
First of all be sure that you haven't flashed a G4 ROM in a G3 device (or vice-versa) which would have made it a brick.
In case you haven't screwed up the bootloaders then look for the battery jump start thread that teaches how to revive a dead battery
good luck

First os all your Wizard is not a brick. To revive your battery try using a wall charger to charge you battery, or you can leave it attahed to a wall charger for some time and it should start charging after 10-15 mins (becoz one i got a dead battery and did the same) Once the battery is revived then flash it to a Official ROM, afterwards any custom ROMs or what so ever. I hope i helped. TC
i've the same problem!!! i leave the phone attached the whole night to the charger...but it was in bootmode, so it doesn't charge!!! it hasn't the power to flash my phone...when it arrives to the 85% (when the phone write into the flash memory) it reboots.....what must i do? i tried to jump start...with a 12v adapter...but nothing....
It won't charge in Bootloaders,as it doesn't provide any charging circuit .The phone must have and boot up to a working OS (Windows) to start charging,only then it has a charging circuit.
Try to get a fully charged batter ,may be borrow it from a friend or try to charge your battery with friends phone,flash a rom and only it'll start to charge.
i know....but...i have not a friend with a ppc like mine!!!! and even if i'll buy a new battery....how can i charge it????? a friend of mine has a qtek 9000....but the battery is different from mine.......

No need to buy a battery i say you use a External Battery Charger. Because even buying it would be cheaper then the battery itself and would help you in future too. I hope i helped. TC
Thanks

Thanks, dude. I never even tried charging it with the wall charger. There seems to be other people that have the same problem as I do. Now my phone is up at the tri-color screen, and I'm charging it, then Ill start flashing again. Thanks again!
No Problem but now remember if you find ppl with same problem (on the forum) dont forget to guide them to this Thread. And no need for the thanks. TC

@ianestradalives's as zabardast_1's has said, your phone WILL NOT CHARGE unless windows Boots. Either buy a new battery or find someone with the same phone or an Orbit(as they use the same battery) also if you buy a new battery it generally arrives with enough charge to use for flashing(It did for me anyway). The only other way to do it would be to buy a dock with a second battery charging slot. Using the wall charger wont do anything except stop it from restarting ,while its plugged in.
@XDA2_haseeb why point people who have the same problem to this thread, if the answer you have given is incorrect?

Dude, sorry to disappoint you, but his advice was correct. My phone is now up and running, and it has NBD 9.2. The advice he has given is correct. It works.
Ok,was your phone in Bootloaders (muliticolor screen) or with a working OS installed on it when you charged with a wall charger ?
That's exactly what was i was about to ask Zabardast_1
As there is no way he could charge his phone while it is in bootloader mode. He either had battery power already in it and messed up the flash or you have just been lucky when you took the battery out of the unit and reinserted it and there was enough power left to flash

In bootloader screen. If you were flashing a rom and it failed, you usually end up in the tri-color (aka "Bootloader") screen. Do what haseeb said (like I did) and plug your wizard to a wall charger and wait for a few minutes. When I plugged mine, it immediately lit up. Good hunting!

Nope. I'm sure the battery was drained. The other night, my phone was in the bootloader screen THE WHOLE NIGHT. And yesterday, I tried reflashing, but it won't start anymore because of - obviously - no battery power.
IF you don't believe me, fail a flash and drain the battery. Then plug it into the wall. It really works.
scousemartin
YUP! thats very true.
The question here is 'How did he charge in Bootloaders with a wall charger',it has to have a working OS on it to start the charging circuit,which isn't present while in Bootloaders.
Flashing is a separate issue.
it will light up as it has power but it WONT CHARGE IT. You were LUCKY that's all and you had power in your battery. You just never realised it. If you want to prove us wrong let the battery go low and then try your revival attempt again. I guarantee you will be buying another battery or charging it somewhere else
also i have been through this personally with my xda mini-s and the only remedy was to buy another battery (or recharge it). You could leave your phone connected to the wall charger for a week and it wont make a blind bit of difference to the battery level. I know because i tried.
Anyway glad you got it sorted ,but the solution to your problem was not charging the phone. Thats all i have to say on this matter now

It did get sorted. But I am really sure about the battery thing. I guess this is an anomaly. Besides, the XDA is different from a Wizard.
lol the xda mini-s is exactly the same device a 8125 is, they re both wizards
Hi there,
yesterday I removed the battery of my mobile to replace it with
a charged one. Since then the phone is "dead". I cannot start it
anymore. No reactions on pluggin in the charger, no charging symbol,
nothing. Also no reactions on 3-button-mode.
Does anybody have any ideas what might have happend?
Thanks for any support,
Grobie
try a long press on the power button. sometimes it will kick in after about 30 seconds to a minute. It did for me once
Did you try putting your old battery back in?
Double check battery contacts/pins on phone to make sure that they haven't been damaged?

Thank you guys!
I do have 3 (original Samsung) batteries and an external charger.
The batteries are all charged and in good shape. I don't think this
is the problem. In addition the phone stays "dead" even when connected
to the AC charger. No charging symbol.
The contacts are all fine, no damages. I checked that out.
Long press of power button (and 3-buttons) also did not work.
Any further suggestions?
Cheers,
Grobie

If the battery is faulty, the phone wont turn on even when the charger is connected. Replace the battery with the one you got when you purchased the phone.

See my previous post.. I do have THREE original Samsung batteries.
Of course I tested the phone with all of them, but the SGS just doesn't
want to kick in.

Sorry to hear that,
Are you 100% positive that the battery charged with the external charger are fully charged? (maybe the charger himself is dead?) A voltmeter should assure that.
If the external charger and batt are ok, try to let your SGS without any batt in during 24hrs and see what you get.
Otherwise be ready to rma it.
GL.
Yes, the batts are 100% okay, I put them into another phone, they work fine.
I'll check out your last suggestion and let you know.
Thanks so far!
Cheers,
Grobie
Remove MicroSD card and SIM then while holding the on button replace the battery.
The mileston doesn't work anymore. When I open the bootloader, I got this messege: "Battery low, can't progress". (I charge it all the time)
I want to use this tutorial in order to bring the device back: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845"
( [HOW-TO] Get your Milestone back to stock ).
The device is not rooted. It's belong to my friend and I try do make it work.
I don't have any software with belong to this phone.
Anyway, How can I bring it back ?
Please help me, I really need your help!
The phone doesn't charge when in bootloader mode. You need to charge the phone in normal mode (or turned off), and then put it in bootloader mode to continue the process.

I did it but it's still not working.
battery must be over 40% to flash in bootloader via RSD Lite
turn off the Phone an plug it to the ac charger (not usb) and charge the phone for about 2 hours.
when not charging animation is showing up, something may be wrong there...
but 1 question:
what do you mean with "The milestone doesn't work anymore" ???
what exactly is the problem? just dont boot up? stuck on "M" Logo? or what?
with more informations i think we can help you

When I charge the phone with ac charger, so the phone shows the "M" logo.
I don't know if it's good.
When I Charge it with usb, I saw yellow light.
I can open the boot, but I can't do nothing with the phone because of the low battery.
I can't use the phone, it's not open.
when it just show the M Logo the phone wont charge the battery...
only thing you may can do is to find some one who also owned a milestome to charge the battery for you or you buy a external battery charger like this one here http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/motorola-milestone-usb-23547p.html

Ok thank u so much!
no problem... hope you get your device back to work
Hello, I've been using my htc vivid since about march last year, and I recently rooted it, flashed Kanbang and added wajee's desensed rom. Things have been going smoothly until recently, I attempted to change roms to xperiense (Also by wajee) and I'm now stuck booting up at the splash screen, I can access my boot loader, but I can NOT preform a factory reset, Please, if anyone here can help me I would seriously appreciate it.
If the recovery program is not showing then you need to clear the catch if the recovery still don't work try to reflash the recovery or even a different recovery . If that don't work relock the bl and run the stock ruu and start over , the hansoon tool kit makes this a breeze and you will be back where you where in a few minutes.
I can access the bootloader, and I forgot to mention that If I plug it in to my comp it does not seem to want to charge, it shows the light for about 5 seconds, then the capacitive buttons will vibrate if pressed, but nothing displays, I have to boot into the bootloader without it plugged in then plug it in.
Yea pull the batt and boot into hboot , then select fastboot plug the phone then it should say fastboot USB , running the ruu will fix any errors you have so you can start fresh ....just remember never pull the plug while the ruu is running .
Well, Thanks for trying to help, but the batter will NOT charge and is dead, I'm ordering another OEM battery soon, Thanks for the help but I've read and this actually appears to be the problem, again thanks you for trying to help.
No problem , if ya need anything don't hesitate to ask here someone can always help out .
Are you sure the battery is kaput? Have you tried charging it with a wall charger? HBOOT doesn't support charging BTW, and USB won't charge unless the phone is ON and in the OS (or in TWRP recovery which DOES support charging).
Pull the battery and leave it turned off, then plug in the wall charger. You should get an orange LED and presto, it's charging. See if you can power up after an hour or two. If it spends two hours on the wall charger and still isn't charging, then it's either A) your battery, or B) Your charge port. I had the charge port die on my blackberry torch. Thought it was the battery too until I borrowed one from a mate and swapped things around.

Thanks for the offer but I have a bro with the same phone who lives nearby so I'm going to see if I can borrow it tomorrow for a few minutes, if it works, my new batter is in the mail, if not, I'm going to talk to at&t and see if I can get the phone replaced.
It keeps claiming I have the wrong version (The Ruu) any chance of a link to the most up to date one?
Hello, i have one question
Now I came from my job and I use my phone about few minutes and then the phone turns off. Can someone tell me what can be problem?
Cant go in recovery or download mode?
Are you rooted? If yes, which root method did you use? Custom ROM installed? Any apps installed that are not from Google play? Are you sure the battery is good? Do you see/hear anything when trying to power on? Any and all details would help.

This sounds rather stupid, but some users have reported that turning off the feature "Allow apps to scan WiFi in background" solves the problem. I honestly have no idea what that has to do with it but give that a try. If not you can just do a factory reset from the menu.
@edessa : no, i am not rooted. all is official. All apps are from Google Play and I use the same like on my previous phone (Galaxy S2). About battery - today I go in shop and I will try to see if is problem in battery. Strongly hope that the problem is in the battery.
I dont see or hear anything when I try to power on. There is only black screen, without samsung logo or vibration on power on.
I would get a new battery. Sounds like your battery is dead. In some Android devices, not sure about the N3 if you let the battery completely die then even if you connect it to a charger it will not power up. If it cannot power up then it cannot charge either. The phone has to actually start in order to charge the battery as the charger is a smart charger.
I tried with new batteries and phone still not turn on. And now I send it to repair

You phone can run without a battery just using the USB cord. Sending it in for repair is probably the best option at this point
