Hello everyone.
Congratulations to everyone responsible for this forum, and all it´s users, it´s just amazing. Everytime I have an issue with my X8 just come here and the solution is always easy to find... bust this time it isn´t so :crying:.
I´ve been using lot´s of kernels and roms, for a long time and never had such a problem.
Been using latest kernel for a while (nAa-jb) and last week got stuck in bootloop, then came some sort of white led and then restarted.
Tried to install other kernels, flashed with flashtool, but always got stuck in bootloop,
The last thing i did was flash the stock kernel, but when it restarted, never came back to life, no leds, no screen, not even vibration.
I think the kernel got messed up when flashing, because i think the battery was almost drained, no that i think of it, red led sometimes appeared as well as the white led before restart...
No flashtool, no sony ericsson repair, nothing... the x8 never gets recognised...
I guess I´ve read all xda threads related to xperias, all battery issues, all red lights of death, hard restets, etc, etc... and nothing.
The only thing I haven´t tried is leave the phone in wall charge for several days and make the battery restart itself. Should i try this?
Last resort is go to the SE assistance, but warranty is long gone..
Anyone can help me? Thanks
Charge battery & try flashing kernel again

Thanks for the reply.
Tried a few days ago to charge it for 12h, but no sign of life, unless i leave to charge for days and days, like other users say...
Try charging with external charger I mean without phone...

yesterday went to the store, but they could not test if the battery still has charge or if it is accepting charge... have to go elsewhere or get a charger

how can you charge a dead HARDBRICKED phone? dead motherboard.
if you want to charge the battery take out it buy a universal charger(external battery charger)
i already bought that one in my country only cost about 5 US dollar.
charge it with that charger and try your luck again.

Hi guys!
It's been awihile since i've posted in this forum. Happy new year and all!
I need help! My note has had Cassie's xtralite 4.0.4 rom awhile and everything has worked great with it. But couple of weeks ago the battery had drained and i put my note to charger (official). But it never bootup since. Only black screen and no sign of any life.
What can i do with this? I still have warranty, but i quess, i should have to flash a original firmware, before i send this to samsung repaircenter? Is there any way, that i can do this? Thanks!
keep the phone plugged in to the charger for a couple of hours and then try to boot up the phone.. try download mode as well

Thanks, but no help. Still a dead note. :/
try a charged battery from a different note. if that too fails, then i don't think the service center can also start it up to find out what rom its on
actually if the phone didnt properly shutoff, you have the jb leaks bug. Reinstall rom, and all should be fine.
first turn off rom, then insert charger, watch charging indicator, let charge till full, then do the rom flashmob flash on safe kernel cleanly.
You're going to need an external battery charger. You can pick one up cheap off eBay.

Hi,
I have Cassie's ICS rom not JB. There shouldn't be any memory leak problem in this rom, that i know of. I've tried to put my note to download mode, when connected to PC + Odin. But no luck. I could send this to repair, but i'm afraid that samsung sees, that my note has a custom rom in it and i loose my warranty.
So, is there a change, that my battery is just dead?
thanks for your replies!
you should have tried a charged battery on your note till now.. first thing to check
Thanks!
Too bad, that my friends don't have Note. I'll check my local Cellphone store and ask to try different, charged battery from them. Can you tell me the reason, why my Note + charger wouldn't charge the battery?
I have seem many cases where the note is dead and the battery does not charge. If you have an external charger, even that would work to charge the battery.
few days ago having the same symptom as ur's .
but I'm using JB , after charge the battery n than press 3 button go to recovery mode n press reboot system now.
everything back to normal.
I'm not sure whether is it works on 4.0.4
The problem was the battery!
Thanks for your help guys! I had a change to try different battery and my Note booted up normally. I just ordered a new one.
Samsung batterys seem to really suck in quality. 7months and the battery is dead.

agree with you.. max life seems to be around 10 months of use. also depends on your charging cycle

This is what up I am up to right now, when the battery is below cca 95% then my Note dies, but still works under charger. Battery lasted around 12 months - never happened with HTC, but 20E for a new one is not a big deal either ...
Hello XDAers,
Just got an Xperia T off eBay. Brand new and tried to turn on and no luck.
Put it in charge, then realize that it doesn't charge. It boots to android then shows 0% and turn itself off back to charging mode.
Anyone has experienced such thing? I know in past some other Sony phone had this issue but I cant find anything on Xperia T.
Is this something I can fix or should I return it back/?
Any help is appreciated.

I just don't understand why people insist on buying phones off ebay. You don't know where they have been, what's happened to them. If they are legal. Get your money back (if you can) and get one from a reputable source.

Highly appreciate your input and help, Seller is reputable and there is no good source here to buy this phone in the US. What was your suggestion again?

Since the new style batteries do not like being without charge, I suggest biting the bullet and charging it fo a full 24 hours....dont touch it all in that time and only after 24 hours see what it does. If it is still at 0% then its FUBAR'd
i've got the same problem with my old x10 and nothing to do with a normal charge, the only solution i found is to charge it manualy with a charger whose i cut the micro usb and put the red on + and black on - of the battery and it's done , but with the XT i don't know if it's possible

Buy a new battery with separate charger as they can recondition the battery when its out of the phone

xperia T does not have a removable battery so that may not be as easy as it sounds.

Thank you for this and Thank you again for putting all the info together Greg.
First off, I charged the battery for a longer time and it decided to charge out of the blue.
And second, the info you are organizing in one place has reduce the headache for many and you deserve few more thank you
Phone is working as usual.
Cheers,
Re: Xperia T - Battery Dead at 0% won't turn - won't chargw
In the test menu, there is info on factory charge, which isn't confirmed until 50% charged, I think if you completely flatten the battery that it will need 50% before attempting to start.

I keep coming back to these threads whenever my Experia T is acting up again. I finally bit the bullet and went the hardware way as described in a comment on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWox7kCygRE
"In the end I fixed this problem by removing the back cover (one screw in where the SIM card goes) and detaching the battery supply from the phone. After a minute or two I reattached the battery supply (its a little yellow tab beside where you plug in the charger) and put the cover back on, plugged into charger and it started charging as normal."
It's surprisingly simple, to be honest.
Hi, I have a funny problem since today morning. I came home yesterday and plugged the N7000 on the official loader. It flashed up as it ever does and I went to bed. Today I went to my phone and the only thing it does is showing the Battery with a non rotating circle in there. The same thing happening when the battery is fully dead, but before it continues to boot further the screen starts to flicker like if the battery is fully dead and powers down. Then it does the same thing again and again and again. I cant intervene with any button combination at all as it seems.
One thing to note, I had the NX Kernel flashed and increased the USB charge power from 450 mAh to 600 mAh meaning the same power level as it uses on a real PSU. In theory this should not even make any problem here then.
What could I do? Any way to make it STFU and just charge the Battery to a useful level before it boots and seems like to use too much power to make charging of any use?
And the most important question? What could be the problem? The Battery is just a year old and a official one.
Replace the battery. Sorry mate :/

Because it's old and dying out, perhaps.

Or because of the USB. I dont know if it was the problem, but some twisting of the plug in the connector and some time lying around in the sun and it lives again ^^
Hi guys, I bought htc one, almost 6 month ago. It was amazing nd all but i still felt it wasnt working well.
Then i used some roms .. didnt help much. battery was killed. I thought it was coz of rom. Well then finally after asking alot of advice here, I returned htc one to 100% factory settings (pain in the a..) then sent it to warrenty.
Here is a list of all things they changed (attachment). Is that normal?
did i have a really badly made htc one? or did i broke the components by using unoffical chargers/roms/kernels etc etc etc.????
Since I have noticed that it works WAY faster and battery is way better than it was.
maybe its coz i used xcover 2 the time htc one was away so i kinda got used to that piece of s... ? anyhow im way more satesfied with it now than before. but still, this is first time i sent phone to warrenty so i dont know if this much changes to the device is normal or not
Ps. The reason for giving it to warrenty: battery would get to 100%, when unpluged worked normal until 60-70%, then it would just die. no way to turn it on without puting it on charger atleast for 20 minutes.
(if i didnt put it on charger.. after 2-3 hours it would magiclly get 20-40% charge lol)
sorry about my english guys

Wow they changed a lot of things here!
I see 2 options, either your battery over heated and died + damaged some components or they damaged the phone when trying to open it to change the faulty battery/usb port.
Don't worry, at least your phone is working good now, there is so much horror stories about warranty repair here, glad to see yours came back in good condition.

Thanks for the reply bro.
Now i wanna know what caused the death of the battery. was it coz i used some unoffical chargers?
(like samsung charger which is for note 10.1 tablet, and some nokia chargers)
or was it coz i flashed roms way too frequently?
I m scared to unlock it again and start flashing but i really want to

You should only use official chargers, or at least be sure they output the same voltage (5v). There are some tablets charger (i.e Asus TF101) that output 10V and that amount of voltage will probably kill the battery....
Maybe it was only a bad battery, maybe damaged by CPU overheat.... who knows
Flashing roms doesn't damage the battery

Hi guys,
I'm having issues with my Mi mix where it just shut down by its self and will no longer boot up anymore, it will load the Mix logo for a few seconds (after the initial Mi one) before shutting down. I can access the recovery, and have tried flashing a new rom, as well as fastbooted the original rom on. Is there any way to fix this?
Also, when plugging in the charge cable it will show charging, but stuck on 67%, it doesnt go above that with overnight charging.
Cheers,

Well maybe unplugging battery for a while may sort it, watch a teardown before attempting, I suspect the battery is actually flat and needs charging but it's stuck in some weird situation. You didn't say wether it was rooted with TWRP.

Thanks for the reply, I've unplugged it and tried rebooting, which it still wouldnt do. I have ordered a replacement battery just in case. And yeah it was rooted with TWRP running EpicRom when the shut down occured.
