Hi!
I've had my phone on a custom ICS ROM for quite a while now and for some reason the phone was giving me problems so I tried to go into my Safe System but the screen is just black. I'm pretty sure I installed a ROM on it a while ago but there is a chance I did not.
When I plug the phone into the computer I can't turn it on all I see is the white light.
When I plug it in to the outlet then I see the Bionic Logo and then I see the Safestrap Safe System Enabled. If I touch Search or Menu (or nothing at all) the same thing happens: It goes away to a black screen. The only way to turn It off is to take out the battery with it unplugged from the wall charger or hold down the voume down + power button for a while.
It won't turn on any way other then being plugged into the wall outlet charger..
How can I fix this / start fresh and reinstall a rom? I can't do the thing where I boot into the options by holding the volume buttons and the power button, either. Nothing happens when It's not plugged into the wall outlet (or white LED when plugged into the computer)
I also left it on the black screen for a few hours just to make sure It was charging, If it was at all.
Thanks for any help in advance..
What version of safe strap are you using. Try version 3.05 if your not using it. I had the same problem before and this fixed that issue on ICS.

How can I do that.. (I can't get into FastBoot)
You'll have to install it on your custom ROM if you can access safe side.

Sorry to sound like a noob but, I installed all of this a long time ago and followed a specific tutorial.
So I don't know what you mean.. on the SD card?
I went to a Verizon store and found a lady who worked there with a Bionic and she charged my battery for me, and then I could get into recovery.
Thanks for your help though!

Hi,
My Tab p1000 stock DXJPE shuts down itself. I've just only pressed power button to switch off the screen, and when pressing it again nothing lit up, so I long pressed it. Unrooted, official 2.3 upgrade. Please help, yesterday happened two times and today only one time.

GT-P1000 suddenly switching off. Must be some sort of hardware battery controller problem. Had the same issue until yesterday. Openned the tab and disconnected battery as per youtube video. Connected it back after several minutes. Now problem is gone and tab is functioning perfectly.
Best regards from Russia.
Hello,
I've got a HTC One s-off with Inside Coin cfw and touch recovery.
Every now and then my phone shuts completely off without shutting down, its complete off.
If I press the power button it boots mostly correct but every now and then it shows the loading rom screen or just the HTC One screen and shuts off again.
Could this be an failure of the phone/battery itself from falling down or could it be a software problem?
Right now it doesn't even starts if I press down power for over 10 seconds - need to wait some time or put it on the loading cable.
Have you had that issue on other roms? Are you running a custom kernel?

I didn't tried other roms yet, no custom kernel so far.
Right now I don't get a light on the screen or the orange loading light on the loading cable.
Computer did find an Android device for short time but black screen on the phone.
You should test another Rom to see if your battery is faulty. But before you do... I need to know:
When you manage to boot completely, what does your battery meter or stats say?

I had 31% and I just wiped and installed the newest version of Inside Coin
While in titanium backup the phone shut off again and won't start right now.
I put it on the loading cable for the night and will see if I get it going tomorrow.
It could be the battery. If it happens that it goes from 100% to nothing within jus 20-30 min, then it is broken. Happened to me.

Okey just fully charged, plugging out, shutting off my alarm clock and browsing through sense - phone off.
Short push on power and right after HTC Inside it shuts off again, but with power button and Vol- I can get into recovery, Hboot 1.44 without anything happend.
/edit
What does it mean when back and home button are blinking?
You are doing a hard reset / force off the phone. If it means anything other than that I don't know.

I finally got my phone on again (after 6 hours) and battery says 80%
Should I try CM10.1/CM10.2 instead of Inside Coin and/or maybe another bootloader? My HBoot is still 1.44 and CWM 6.0.3.1
Any you like. Remember to check md5. If you wish u can upgrade hboot too.

The Droid 4 is the first phone I've ever had that doesn't light an LED to indicate that it is charging, or indicate that it is fully charged. Is there such a thing on this phone? If so, how do I turn it on? I don't want to have to wake the phone to check the battery level.

ive opened the apk and I don't see bools.xml anywhere
It looks like the free app Light Flow will do the trick, even on non-rooted phones. The app gives me the option to change the colors, even. Nice selection too. The one thing I can't seem to make it do is keep the LED on continuously, even when I use Light Flow's Always On setting. Must be some setting Motorola has locked down. But at least I can tell at a glance whether the phone is charging or not, even when it's sleeping. Plus, Light Flow lets me set the LED to a different color when the battery is fully charged. Awesome for a free app. :good:

Ill try to explain my problem in detail...
I have an unlocked bootloader Xperia Z
I flashed first 4.4 build to try the new kitkat android....
On these build i have incredible battery life but, obviously other kind of stability problem....
Then I reverted back to Monxified 4.2.2 rom, and I make a little mistake (flashing new rom with phone at 40% battery with cable plugged in.....
After this i start experiencing bad battery life and suddently shut down at 30-40% battery level....
I tried various full charge (even with phone shuttend down) and long time charging even after the battery indicator is full......
Nothing changed and situation get worse with phone shutting down at 60%...
After this i tried move to 4.4.2 beanstalk.....
It seems to work a little better but again phone suddently shut down during usage and start to be unable to go after boot logo (before bootanimation)
If I power on phone i see the kernel logo and when boot animation must came in phone simply shut down.....(it doesn't reboot or go in bootloop it shut down and I have to push the power button to see the same crap)
With power cable plugged in phone work without problem, but even after startup if I remove cable phone shut down after 30sec-1 min....
BUT, and this is the strange one...
If I boot in recovery i can do what i want....even withoud external power in recovery i can use phone for 30 minutes adn over without shutdown...i can flash rom and other stuff and my Xperia Z doesn't turn off....
I'ave also tried to flash a completely stock FTF with sony official kernel (4.2.2 and 4.3 versions) but nothing chage....
Leaving aside recovery...every rom i flash simply can't go after kernel logo without external power
,
I often flash new roms with cable plugged in... So, you have already done a full wipe, so try to use the battery calibration app, maybe the battery stats are corrupted.

Omg i can't believe people still try that rubbish that app does absolutely nothing as every time the phone is shut down and restarted it creates a fresh battery stats file every time.

Indeed. The option to delete batterystats.bin was removed from most custom recoveries long ago as it does nothing.

Confirm its battery issue. I opened the back cover,unplug the battery,connect phone to wallcharger and same.shutdown after sony logo. So i force the battery to charge using my old modified charger and connect to the battery terminal,wait for 10 minutes and reconnect to phone.and its reboot

Thanks so much for this information, my phone was having exactly the same issue. It's awfully hard to find this thread among all the other "battery dead" xperia z posts. I'm going to buy another phone battery from eBay now.
Have you guys even tried flashing stock firmware using seus? The OP only states he tried other roms but not stock.
Yes. Already flash using emma. Same problem persist.

my nook hd+ had CW installed on emmc(it was done long time ago). All of a sudden it stopped turning on. See attached video file. I tried any combinations of buttons possible, tried to boot up from SD card but no luck. All I get is black screen and the charger light coming up for 2-3 second on green, then it turns in amber for 2-3 seconds and then the light is gone. That's all I have showing.

Thanks for the quick reply. My problem is that the device is used by my children and I installed NOOK about a year ago and do not remember how to install, one thing I know it works without sd card and run CM10 . Sorry.

Hi Fixsony. I am having the exact same problems as you. I flashed the CM10.2 M1 for a month ago, and got this problem yesterday. I was able to fix it the first time by inserting the SD card and pull it out again, but now I can't get rid of the problem.
To all, and especially leapinlar:
- I can turn on the device, but the screen doesn't show the "Nook" boot screen - only turns on the display to show "black" screen (if you notice on the video you can see that the screen turns on).
- I am not able to boot into the CWM recovery by SD card or without the card.
- The Nook turns on itself when the device is powered off and the charge cable is plugged in (as normal), and the charge icon turns from green into orange. My battery was 98% before this happened.
Hope somebody can help.
After a thorough research and an advice from others I have found that our common problem is in a deep discharge of the battery (the wall charger cannot start charging the battery the way it should). I am thinking of returning my device since I bought it in July, but I still have one question. If I had CM previously installed on my device, will it affect my warranty?

As long as you have it back to pure stock, there is no way they will know. Flash one of my plain stock zips from my HD/HD+ CWM thread and do a factory reset with CWM and they can't tell.

If it does not turn on, they will not know at the store what is wrong. They should exchange it.
