[Q] Is my Milestone dead?

Hi,
I did something stupid yesterday: removed the battery while booting. It was on the boot animation screen, after the Motorola logo went out.
Now I can't turn the phone on, the white charging LED does not light up when connected on the computer USB port or the wall/car charger.
Tried:
- Removed/reinserted battery
- Press power button with SIM removed
- Press power button with memory card
removed
- Press power button and X
- Press power button and UP
- Press power button without battery inserted, while on wall charger (?)
Android version: 2.1. Stock version, rooted, no overclocking.
There's no sign of life on the device. Tried leaving it for 2 hours without the battery to powercycle it and tried leaving it to "charge" in the wall charger overnight and still no signs of life. At one point the LED white light flashed for a fraction of a second when inserting the cable but it no longer does this I don't think.
Could this be a battery problem?
Just want to check with you guys before taking it to the authorized service, because it will take weeks to get back.
Thanks.

Alright, so I just checked and when I plug my phone into the wall charger, the LED comes on for a split second then disappears. Also, since I lost my original battery, this battery was bought online, not too sure if it is a generic battery though.
At this point, im leaning towards this being a battery issue. Am I correct?

use rsd lite and try to flash a new sbf image

Hi have you found solution of this problem ? Yesterday i did same thing as you while booting removed batery and now it is dead it wont charge battery and same as yours when pluging charger led flashes for a fraction of second ...

Boot in Recovery mode and wipe your battery status.
Also, what were you using and how long until the battery drain out?

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I do that, but is always the same, the phone won´t charge the battery even if a put a full charged battery in the phone, so to turn on the phone in normal boot, the phone has to be connected to the usb cable and shutdown when it´s boot.
but when i boot in recovery mode, have to turn on with usb cable, and in boot mode remove the usb cable and battery works for like 20 hours. =/ hope that any can help me. and again sorry for my poor english.

Sound like you have the hardware problem. Is the charger the original charger for the G1?

yes i try and iphone charger and pc usb but always the same.

any one can help me' please.

[Q] Wont charge if i let the phone completly run out of battery.

If I let my HTC one run completely out of battery so it turns off and plug it back in it will reboot but once it reboots It won't charge and displays 0%. If I remove the charger the phone turns off because the battery is not charging . The way I get round the problem is booting into twrp recovery and letting the phone charge there for a few minutes then rebooting the phone without the the charger connected. Then once the phone turns on I reconnect the charger and the phone charges fine.
I have change from cyanogenmod to viper and calibrated the battery but the problem still occurs. I have also tryed a diffrent charger.

Try the Stock recovery, if it still won't charge it's probably either your cable or the USB port on the phone.

M7 charges for 20 seconds then stops charging

Dear XDA,
I have a fairly annoying problem. The phone is not charging properly.
When i connect my phone to a charger it charges for roughly 20 seconds. Usually it doesnt show anyting at the start. But after a while it shows the charging icon on the display and the led starts blinking. After 20 seconds it stops doing that and after a while it shows the charging icon + blinking led again. Somehow it's in a charging loop.
I've tried different adapters. Different cables. Let it 'charge' overnight. And hook it on to a computer for a hour or so.
Sometimes i can turn my phone on but then it's on 1% and powers off emediatly. It won't charge when it's turned on.
I'm running MaximusHD 46. I have it for a while now and had no problems whatsoever.
The phone is from the Netherlands but I live now in Zanzibar. They have a different power output and the voltage is not stable. Usually i charge it when there is a stabilizer connected. But hasn't been always the case. Could that be the problem?
Thanks in advanced for your replies,
Lennard

This problem occurs all the time? I mean it's the same in all modes like when booted up and running Android, while powered off and while in recovery.
Or only when the device is powered off?
What recovery are you using ? (name and version) please :good:

I have not been able to get into recovery. Basically it's dead in the water and occasionally i can turn it on.
The recovery i use is TWRP. The version i'm not sure of (since i cannot check) but if I think it's 2.6.3.6.

Sounds like a Hardware problem either with the usb port or the battery itself.
A new usb cable may help if you've already tried that there's not much else you can do.
Some of the newer 2.8.x.x versions of TWRP have issues charging while off. But it doesn't effect charging any other time. Have you tried powering on while it's connected t an AC wall charger?

Thanks again for the reply.
I've tried multiple usb cables and chargers . Also I tried to turn it on while connected to a wall charger, even recovery doesnt seem to work. Yesterday I still could turn it on. But today not ..
Ugh, sounds like I have to buy a new phone

Lint? What do you mean with that? But yeah, I have cleaned the usb port from dust.
And I managed to get into recovery! I tried finding out where i could reset the battery settings... but I couldn't find it . The phone was getting hot so i think it's sort of charging in recovery mode. So i let it be in recovery mode for the charging. Let's see if that works :]

If you can get a little charge in the battery you can try the USB Host Mode reset. Power off the device and hold Volume up+Volume Down+Power. Hold all three buttons for 2mins plus. The device will appear to bootloop while your holding the buttons. That's normal. When you let go the phone should boot up normally.
Test the charging again :good:

Thanks! That might do it. Anyway i'll try it this afternoon when i'm back home. Should I keep the phone connected to the charger or disconnect?

I suppose it would be best to disconnect during the reset procedure. But I don't no for sure if it will make any difference connected or not.
