So i was in clockwork and did a wipe, and then was about the install a zip from sd card.. then i afterward i found out there is no zip in the sd card, i had absolutely no idea why....
So because i did a nandroid backup of the original v10b rom so i restored it back. Then when i was booting the phone it stuck at LG with loading bar stopped. And there was no way to shut the phone down so i pulled the battery out.
2 hours later, which is now, i cant even boot up the phone.. The screen just doesn't turn on.. is it out or battery or something?? Im scared
Remove battery, hold both volume buttons and plug in a USB cable. The screen will stay off, but Windows should pick something up. If so, then you can use NVFlash to fix the phone... see here: http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
Thanks!!! you saved my phone
Hello everyone, long time reader, first time poster (with a real query).
Actually last Friday my cappy started to show 100% of the battery after being for some time in use, so I reboot it trying to solve the issue.
After the boot, the cell shows the Initially Battery screen for 2 seconds with the battery without charge then turns off. Tried several times and also using a second battery with full charge and same problem persisted.
10 minutes later without having a battery inside the phone, it boots but when I rebooted the problem arises again.
This weekend I installed Illuminance 3.01, after that I have installed CM9 (very nice ROM) and the battery problem still is happening. I am able to use the phone but I don´t know for how much more.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Martin

Yesterday night I did a wipe battery stats and the problem still is there.
It starts with the loop and the only way I can start the phone is plugging it then it shows the actual charge of the battery and after that I can boot.
It must be something "deeper" than the rom...
Anybody?
Thanks
Somebody can help?
I am having the exact same issue, stock froyo 2.2 rooted 5 months ago. I'm trying everything before updating to 2.3, I'll let you know if I find a fix, please do the same.
Searching google is not working this time, it's been 3 days...
Things I've tried:
1- From recovery, boot phone. Problem persists after phone is turned off.
2- Boot from revovery, then reset to factory settings, after rese, same issue.
3- Wipe cache from recovery. Problem still there.
4- Wipe cache+user data from recovery. Same thing.
5- repeating 1-4 without SD card or SIM card.
- Wipe battery data... nothing...
- Unrooting, same issue, rooted again.
- Run root fixes with Titanium backup. Same...
- Removing battery for hours, while charging it externally, replace battery, same issue.
All to no success. Things yet to try:
- Update to 2.3 using kies
- Update to beta 2.3.5 using odin
- Update to custom rom, maybe try 3 or 4 different...
- Cry, then save and buy a new phone, use cappy as shiny paperweight...
Please let me know if you could fix it...
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "initial battery screen."
But if I am to understand the rest, your problem is:
initial boot - runs fine, but battery stays at 100% no matter how long it runs.
reboot - phone now says the battery is suddenly dead, and shuts-off.
further reboots - same
You can't get the phone to fully boot till the battery is left out for a while and the phone is fully de-energized.
You have tried a different battery and it behaves the same.
- - - - - -
Have you tried using a known "good" battery? (a new one or one from someone who's phone works fine)
Also, what happens if you plug in the USB while the phone is off? (after the inital boot, when it is stuck in the "dead battery loop.")
Still dead after installing update and 2 custom roms...
Yes I tried a good battery from another cappy, if I plug in the cable it does the same, instead of normally booting, it displays an empty battery and goes off.
I am able to make it work but only entering the restore mode, so I cannot for example be on a trip and reset the phone for whatever reason...
have you tried using a different kernel?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
sorry, but how can I try a different kernel? do i need to change the rom?
Nah, kernels can be flashed independent of ROMs just look through development for topics that have "[Kernel]" as the fist word in their title.
If you have gone and loaded two custom ROMs and it still persist then it's not a kernel issue. As the kernel is always changed along with the ROM.
That said, I can only think of two other possibilities: one being dirt or such making a short in the contacts of the usb (does it sometimes think it is plugged in when it's not), two something in the circuitry for the battery randomly went bad.
Try cleaning the socket for the usb. If that does not fix then assume the worst
leaked from my ICS- FUSED SGS I897 contaminating you via XDA app.
Ok, here's the thing, I left it without the battery for 24 hrs, then it was worst. The phone would not turn on at all. However, after that I tried putting the battery in while holding the power button, it worked!!! it's better than having to connect to the computer, but still, I don't want to have to do this every time... flashing roms now to try again.
We're getting somewhere now...
DaNaRkI could be right about it being a circuitry problem (which would suck). With that in mind, have you checked to make sure the prongs which connect the battery to the phone are still in good shape?
When you flashed the roms, are you doing complete wipes? (wiping the cache/dalvik/data)? It might be worth it to go one step beyond that and format all the partitions and then reflash. I think if you do that, you could basically rule out any software problems.
Be sure to back up your data!
P.S. When you do all this wiping and formating and reflashing, boot up and check to see if the problem is still there before you put your data back on jic there is some weird corruption in your data which is causing this.
ok.
have you checked to make sure the prongs which connect the battery to the phone are still in good shape?
yes I have, they're perfect
When you flashed the roms, are you doing complete wipes?
many times, actually
I have yet to format all partitions, how can I do that?
Thanks!!
and yes, all my data is well backed up in my PC and cloud...
---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------
this is rather odd, just tried to factory reset again, then restarted using the battery method, then... turned it off, and now it boots normally!!!
Thanks for your help !!!
I have the same problem. What exactly did you do? I use a custom rom, and I flashed stock gingerbread 2.3.4.
Formatting the partitions won't do anything, since the phone won't even turn on sometimes. So when exactly did this problem start happening? Was it after a particular flash or other incident?
Hello Guys.
Am facing a wired issue on my SXL.
Am Rooted, Bootloader unlocked and on Custom Rom build by Fshami..
The Thing is i flashed between 2 diff rom without full wipe. ROM wise everything works fine.
As now my Battery has screwd up cos of flashing and Reflashing, so i thought of doing a Charge cycle.
I made the SXL die without any blood in it and when i plugged in, the device goes into CWM rather charging.
When i select power off in CWM, it again goes into CWM..
I have to boot back into OS to get it charged..
Is this Normal?
Can someone try to charge the device with device powered off ??
Thanks in Advance
omg ... i m having that issue right now and dun know how to fix it ... as soon as i restart da phone it goes into CWM ... i can't mount sd card or factory reset .... irritating ...
HELPPPP!!!!!!! :crying:
Flash stock recovery.
With .bat
and you can charge the phone.
What you are facing is a known issue for CWM. Whenever you turn off the phone and plug it in, the phone enters recovery mode. Anyway it's not a big problem. You can flash another recovery as Stona suggested (thanks to him for many useful posts that helped me before ), or you can simply select "reboot system now" from recovery menu and charge the phone while it is on. Then, if you would like to charge the phone at night without being annoyed by calls or notifications, you can let your device on and select airplane mode...
hello all!
my phone was working properly (rooted but not boot unlocked)
pc companion told me there were a new version availlable (.253) I accepted, install, reboot, everything was fine.
I tried to backup my data in order to change the sd card to a bigger one...then it told me there was a problem while backuping so I did a reboot
this is where the problem begins:
now I have a white triangle with a screwdriver in it and a blue bar below it with an animation inside and it's stuck there...what does it mean for a start?
can you please help?
I'd like to recover it in order to get back my data (photos and video I wanted to put on the new sd card)
tried flashtool but it doesn't recognise the phone...
note: before doing all that, free space was low on my XZ internal storage (like 300 megs)

Unplug your phone from the USB cable and then start, see if that helps
This is exactly what I've encountered, can't find much help in the web, re-flash with wipe cache no joy, in the end re-flash with wipe data boot normally, last backup was 4 days old, restore and lost 4 days game progress...
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium HD app
That's strange.
Also had the same.
I updated to the .253 ROM and firmware etc and everything working fine.
I then rebooted after removing some system apps and got this.
I left it for a while and still stuck there.
Pressed a few buttons and still nothing then it suddenly rebooted (not sure if related to pressing the buttons or not) and everything was fine.
Then when it booted up it did the NFC firmware update so maybe related to that.
Not had it since and rebooted a few times.

thanks for replying guys.
problem really is that I can't use flashtool, for some reason I can't go in flashboot mode (green led right?)
and in fact I don't know all the key pressing procedures (if someone can post them all)
...but I think I got the press down and connect right, problem is that I have the green led for less than one second and then nothing...

Hi,
I also encountered this when I tried to use the old root method of .253. (yah, stupid of me but managed to salvage)
Just let it run for like 20 minutes or so and it will reboot subsequently. (As long as the progress bar still move, you should be ok)
Seems like a self-recovery process in place I guess.
yeah I guess you're right , but the first time was so long (more than 20 minutes ) so I thought it was dead...it is obviously some kind of self repair,
because now after a lot of reboots it suddenly started correctly after 5minutes of this blue bar moving....and now working? WTF?
things that I did in case it could help:
-used flashtool beta 4
-flashed a base .434 in blind mode (choosed xperia Z in the list)
-went into flashboot (press down and then plug usb) I had the green light for just a second...(I also installed EMMA drivers from sony , don't know if it helped)
-reboot then wait (I put it also on the docking bay , don't know if it helped as well but it made the blue bar go faster it seems, not sure tho...)
I used "hard boot" also : just jkeep pressing up and the power button until it vibrates 3 times.
maybe just puting it on the dock and then wait (quite some time) is enough (and makes sense)
I just had the same issue - WTF!!!
I just let it sit there for a while and it automatically started.
This is f*** crazy smart (stupid) phone.
DOn't know exactly what my wife did, but I doubt she flashed anything:laugh:
The battery died, she conncted to the charger, most probably with pushing some of the volume buttons and phone booted into Triange mode. Now it's stuk in this mode since an our.
I did Hard reset, but after phone is plug into wall charger it automatically boots in Triange mode.
This is in stock ROM without any modifications, unlocking, anything.

Just wait - sometimes it takes a while but it'll eventually boot up.
I think [NUT] said somewhere that this is a repair of certain permissions by the phone itself. I've only ever had this for some minutes - but it is possible if the battery an out it could invoke this. Shouldn't be anything to worry about.
And I think fastboot is blue led - you could try flashmode.
I tend to do lots and lots of flashing and mods so I've seen it several times. The first time caught me by surprise and lasted for a long time...now I'm just used to it ..
In my case waiting in triangle mode did not helped. Was waiting 5 hours at work. I flashed with flashtool again stock ROM without wiping data and still no response.
FInally flashed with wipe and phone is running but all data gone. What a crap.
Today I left my phone in a cab and got it back in the evening. But after I got my phone it was stuck in a boot loop (after force restart - power button press and hold - it will go to battery icon and automatically restart after a few minutes and again goes to battery icon). Please see the video to understand the boot loop. Unfortunately, Developer options of the phone were not enabled.
Can boot to recovery but can boot to fastboot.
Can you please help me to boot my phone back to normal or sideload a ROM via adb.

Was able to fix the issue. Followed below steps,
1. Kept phone until the battery fully drains
2. Plugged into the charger and charged the phone up to around 65% while the phone is switched off.
3. Switched on the phone when the cable is disconnected.
4. This time the phone was booted to recovery. No battery logo anymore
5. From recovery, rebooted the phone. But again it was booted to recovery.
6. Wiped all data and rebooted.
7. Phone was booted to MIUI os but had to set up the phone again from the beginning.

Same problem bro, did u resolve it???
I think your battery is empty. Leave it on power for a while and check if its charging. Maybe the charginglevel is too low for booting up.

I hope it was that simple ..it seems probably like a bad update. My gfs phone did the similar today
The digitizer stopped working, I force reset the phone and boom ..recovery mode - Trying everything but it doesn't work. Wipe surely would work but she has pictures and videos so I'm trying to avoid that. Plug it to charging but she remembers it had like 75% of battery ...geez (hoping for a miracle)
EDIT: Probably this happen from the bad xiaomi update, anyway I did wipe the data and as expected it work without an issue, I'll unlock this phone and ditch MIUI (I mean I did it to my phone Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S from day 1 - I hate miui) ..now my gf has a reason to hate it too
A factory reset could be painful, since you would lose everything on the device. I saw a guy tap all over the back of the phone with two fingers, and boom! The Redmi Note 10 Pro boot normally! I tried it on a friend's phone, and it worked.
Hello,I had a kind of a similar thing.
I left my phone to charge and when I was back it seems to be stuck in a boot loop(MIUI14)
Well,I tried to force restart but the same.
Before I go to recovery mode,accidently,I putted the phone in fastboot mode.I restarted it in the try to go to recovery mode but the phone started normally.After boot,it's shows an update compete message,so te problem was from an android security path update whatever.

I have important apps on the phone and I wasnt thinking about a factory reset anyway but hopefully it worked in that way
