[Q] weird screen - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

when i turned my android off, i turned it back on and i got this weird screen that said bootloader in the top left corner. it said 2C. 7C under it. it says farther down the screen Battery OK then under it OK to program then it says under that connect usb (i did this and nothing happend) and then under that it says data cable. i have no idea how to fix this how do i fix it?

well it goes to the regular screen but not it wnt charge idk what i did to my phone. its not rooted at all

now just back to that first screen i talked about and it won't charge.

That is the bootloader your seeing, move your dpad around to make sure it isn't stuck then pull out the battery...replace battery and plug into wall charger. Turn phone back on.

[Q] Phone DEAD! Just vibrates when plugged in and flashes HTC screen

I have a 100% stock HD7 from Tmobile Im not sure how, but it just stopped booting. On battery it will not turn on at all, but if I plug it in with the volume down I was able to get into the tri color screen and so I was going to flash a stock firmware, but before I could it powered off and just started flickering the htc logo and then vibrating then shutting down then doing this in a loop.... Any ideas could it be that the battery is just dead, but if so why wont it just run while plugged in? Also while plugged it is says it is a pd29110 as well as a touch s1.
Thanks!
If from what you have said I would try another battery and see what happens from that point then on.

I read somewhere to pull the sd card so I did that and it didnt work so I put it on a cheapo wall charger and it didnt light up but I left it and now it has charged and turns on! But now my sd cards says its only 12 mb... Anyone else ever had this problem?
This is typical (imo). This happened when i first plugged the phone in from the shop. Happened again with a completely drained battery. Just plug it in and it cycles... So i pull the plug and plug it back in and it usually catches itself.

Black screen after AC charger unplugg

Hello
When i remove the ac charger from the wall my screen goes black, the phone will still working, i can hear sounds and etc...
the weird part, is that if i remove the usb part 1st before the wall, i don't get this black screen.
i usually remove the battery and restart to get the screen back on.
When i upgraded to ICS , i still face the same issue, but instead of removing the battery, i can just re-plug it into the wall and i get the screen light back on!!!
i think it is some screen hardware fault
any help?

My D3 died! :(

:crying:
Opened bike race when the screen froze while opening the game (dark screen).
Pulled the battery but when I boot the screen goes on after 3 secs, stays on for 2 secs then goes into dim mode (i can see it's still on).
However my phone doesn't boot since I don't get any whatsapp messages. Normally it should boot to SIM screen but other apps should run.
X+power or M+power doesn't change much.
I'm guessing mobo/cpu fail.... any ideas?
:crying:
edit: It turns on when I put in the charger without battery! Dead battery?
If you put the battery flat on a table does in spin well. Batteries bulge when they are done. The better the spin the worse it is. It's odd the behaviour that can happen with a end of life battery

Well now I'm not so sure what it is.
When I put the cable in without battery the M logo appeared and then the charge screen with a ? in the battery (because there was none)
Then I put the battery in and it started charging.
After a while I tried to turn it on but same problem - just a black screen when power it, no logo whatsoever.
Now I can't get it to work without battery either...
edit: I don't think it can be the battery, because the screen stays on (it has power apparently) and it doens't work with cable connected either
But I also don't see it being the screen as it never vibrates like it does when you boot it.
How did it just show the charge screen before and now it doesn't??
I made a vid of what happens when I power it:

The Droid 3 and Bionic are similar phones, and it turns out that the Bionic will not boot up without a battery - it will hang at the Moto logo even if plugged in. See this thread at androidforums.com: http://androidforums.com/motorola-d...via-adb-unable-boot-up-phone.html#post5463741
So, it may be that you just need a good battery pack in order to get to Recovery/Bootloader/Fastboot etc. if the phone will not start or start to Safestrap.

Ye, except my phone doesn't even show the motorola logo, and I can't even get to the bootloader menu
edit: and it doesn't explain why I was able to get to the charge screen without battery at first, but not now
Right now I'm having the same problem, I could enter safetrap for now (after 10 attempts)

I tried at least 30x now no difference
The worst part is using my Samsung Jet "Smarter than a smartphone". Which isn't even close to a smartphone because it doesn't have any of the OSes = no apps
In my XT860 in its power when it reaches the lockscreen, restarts or shuts.
When I put it to charge my battery shows 0% and charging. When I go to Safestrap-after several attempts-, battery shows 99% or sometimes 80%.
I think the cpu wants to leave the world of technology :crying:
edit: yeah, now i get infinite bootloops in the M DualCore LOL

Well at least yours sounds like a software issue. Just wipe
No, I can not turn it on, I can not enter bptools, I can not use RSD, nothing! Just lucky I managed to get a few seconds to safestrap
hi Doubleyp
try to see if it starts with a factory cable (like the Team black hat one) (no need for battery)
if it starts then its the battery

I tried the stock cable that came with my phone (USB) but nothing happens. Screen doesn't even go on.
The light next to the microUSB does go on.
But my phone has never booted with USB (0.5A). When my battery was 0% I always needed a socket charger because it wouldn't go on and charge with USB
When I then insert battery and try again with stock cable same happens as in the video

Ah I see. Well I'm not in the US so getting one would be a PITA
I'm gonna try my spare battery (original battery) tomorrow. It that doesn't work it must be hardware related because I haven't flashed or done anything to it so it's not softbricked or something.
edit: it team blackhat do send to europe? How would this be different from trying another (working) battery?
Try cutting a USB cable open, hook the red wire to the + of the battery and - to the black and let it charge that way. Also, do you have any MicroUSB charger? I have one for a BB Bold I used to have that delivers I think 1.25A and it could charge my phone from dead (obviously not now with the flex cable having a rip in it).

The little light next to the USB port is the 'It's still alive" light that Moto put in when the battery is completely dead. It's to let you know that the phone *is* charging, just not high enough to boot the phone (i.e. when you let the battery completely die).
WHY they did not make it a standard charging light (like the D1 and D2) I don't know, but that's the only time it comes on. A quick flicker on USB plugin, or when the battery is dead. The light goes out when it gets enough power to boot up.

Well, it's not charging because there's no battery , the light it still on
I really dont see how its the battery because when I put it in without cable the screen turns on and stays on for as long as I keep the battery in. So it HAS power. Today I'm getting my spare battery and we'll see I guess..... don't have my hopes up
My daughters D3 was doing the same thing,me being not ready to dig into a phone yet ,took to a local repair shop, they checked it out and found it had a bad LCD,should get back Friday, sorry for the bad news,just thought you would like some insight.

Thanks. But should it turn on when the LCD is bad? It doesn't even boot else It would vibrate once.
Can anyone confirm that the phone should boot when I remove the LCD alltogether? Else it might be a bad LCD or loose connector

rooted my device and now my phone wont power up?

I had over 80 percent in battery and now my phone wont charge or turn on or even be in fastboot mode... please help

Did you get this to work?
Based on your post count, this is probably a stupid question but:
You tried charging in an outlet (not through computer), right? Any under-the-hood work makes my Bionic run hot and burn through the battery.
More technical: I read somewhere that someone upgraded to windows 8 and fastboot stopped working. Windows 7 fixed the problem (if you're saying that fastboot is the problem, not Vol - & power button recovery mode).
Were you in the process of rooting?

I am kind of having the same problem. I recenty got a droid bionic where I had to replace the LCD screen and battery since when I got it it did not have a battery with it. I got an NON-OEM extended battery and every thing was working fine for three days. In that time I was able to upgrade everyting to the latest software, fireware, and Android version (4.1.2 JB) but after those three days the phoe woould not power on. When I plugged it into my computer and tried, the white power light would just blink at me. when I unplugged it from the computer and tried it would not even come on. I thought it was the battery so I sent it back and got an OEM extended batter and a OEM dock/charger. When I got everything I plugged it all in and the screen came on with the Motorola M logo and then showed me a picture of the battery at 5%, so I let it charger over night. In the morning I pressed the power button while still plugged into the charger, the phone light up saying the battery was at 100%. So I took it off the charger and tried to power up. Nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer and the white power light came on and stayed solid but still no power-up. I just tries the Volume Up/Down power while plugged into the wall charger and I can get to the recovery screen and try the normal boot up, I get the Motorola M Logo screen, I just now tried recovery and the little Droid just showed up with its stomach with a red triangle and an ! in it and is just sittin there. and now it when back to the Motorola M Logo screen then the battery screen. Does this mean mine is bricked as well? Please some one help.
Bumping because of no help yet. I can access the recovery screen but does not seem to help any, it also has to be plugged into the wall charger for this to happen but I can not power it up whether it is plugged in or not. Please Help someone so I can get this figures out.
Alright strange thing to try, plug it into your computer, while plugged in take it the battery, give it a minute and put it back in while still plugged in.

Did as you suggest but when I took out the battery. the white light stayed on. Still could do nothing. Waited 2 minutes, put the battery back in and still nothing. All I get is the white light staying on. I unplug from the computer, the light turns off and still nothing, not even the recovery screen will boot up.
Can you get to the fast boot option by holding both volume buttons and power

As long as I keep it plugged into the wall charger I can. When I go there it says "Battery Low Cannot Program Connect USB Data Cable. But as soon as I unplug the wall charger it shuts off and I can not get back to fast boot. When I plug it into the USB cable and plug into the computer, I can not get to fast boot. I just check and it says my battery is at 100%. but when I first plug it in it says 5%.
Your gonna need to charge your battery with either an external charger or the usb charging hack before you can perform an fxz on it

HTC One charging in recovery but not system

Whatsup guys,
I have an HTC One M7 and it has been on duty since it launched without an issue (except for the pink camera hue). So recently I lost my original charger, and now am using an original charger from the One X I had before this one.
So a few days back, my battery drained so I plugged it in and the battery icon with a thunder sign in it appeared with some red words underneath it stating that I have developer software (duh I use ARHD). All the usual stuff. But the next morning I wake up to the same screen and when I try to turn it on, it won't. All I could do for a while, was to plug it in, have the icon appear and nothing else. Leading me to believe that the plug in the phone was damaged.
So after a couple of days of suffering without my One, I managed to make it turn on by plugging in a Nokia charger for an hour and upon pressing the power button, Voila! it turned on. So first thing I tested was to see if it would charge, and it does NOT. I plugged many chargers I have around the house and even to the computer and none seems to register on the device, the computer doesn't detect a device being connected.
Now here comes the strange part. When I go into recovery or even the bootloader, the phone gets recognized no problem, I can even send commands to it through ADB. I'm suspecting something with the bootloader going on? What do you guys think?
