Hello, I've been using my htc vivid since about march last year, and I recently rooted it, flashed Kanbang and added wajee's desensed rom. Things have been going smoothly until recently, I attempted to change roms to xperiense (Also by wajee) and I'm now stuck booting up at the splash screen, I can access my boot loader, but I can NOT preform a factory reset, Please, if anyone here can help me I would seriously appreciate it.
If the recovery program is not showing then you need to clear the catch if the recovery still don't work try to reflash the recovery or even a different recovery . If that don't work relock the bl and run the stock ruu and start over , the hansoon tool kit makes this a breeze and you will be back where you where in a few minutes.
I can access the bootloader, and I forgot to mention that If I plug it in to my comp it does not seem to want to charge, it shows the light for about 5 seconds, then the capacitive buttons will vibrate if pressed, but nothing displays, I have to boot into the bootloader without it plugged in then plug it in.
Yea pull the batt and boot into hboot , then select fastboot plug the phone then it should say fastboot USB , running the ruu will fix any errors you have so you can start fresh ....just remember never pull the plug while the ruu is running .
Well, Thanks for trying to help, but the batter will NOT charge and is dead, I'm ordering another OEM battery soon, Thanks for the help but I've read and this actually appears to be the problem, again thanks you for trying to help.
No problem , if ya need anything don't hesitate to ask here someone can always help out .
Are you sure the battery is kaput? Have you tried charging it with a wall charger? HBOOT doesn't support charging BTW, and USB won't charge unless the phone is ON and in the OS (or in TWRP recovery which DOES support charging).
Pull the battery and leave it turned off, then plug in the wall charger. You should get an orange LED and presto, it's charging. See if you can power up after an hour or two. If it spends two hours on the wall charger and still isn't charging, then it's either A) your battery, or B) Your charge port. I had the charge port die on my blackberry torch. Thought it was the battery too until I borrowed one from a mate and swapped things around.

Thanks for the offer but I have a bro with the same phone who lives nearby so I'm going to see if I can borrow it tomorrow for a few minutes, if it works, my new batter is in the mail, if not, I'm going to talk to at&t and see if I can get the phone replaced.
It keeps claiming I have the wrong version (The Ruu) any chance of a link to the most up to date one?
: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

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

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

My Mi3 has switched off automatically and doesn't start again. The charger when plugged, the notification light keeps blinking red and when I removed it from charge and again plugged in, the phone is blank, the notification light also does not show up. I tried to boot into recovery by pressing volume up+power button, but that also doesn't work. I did not root my phone and I am on official miui v6 Rom. Please help!!
Try fastboot mode (power+vol down). If that doesn't work either then it's a hardware problem. If it works then proceeed to use Miflash in order to fix it.
From past 7hrs I've put the phone on charge and the red notification light still blinks, my phone is on now nut the charging % still shows 0 I don't know what to do
Use other charger.. Been through that prob.. I use 2A note 3 charger..
I've got an M8 charger as well, I'll try putting up that charger for Mi3 now..
I finally succeeded to boot into recovery mode, thought to wipe all data.. I selected wipe all data and now it's stuck at 98% and nothing is happening.. I am sick of it now. What do I do?

it seems you are using the mi recovery and wiping by mi recovery usually takes times just dont be in a hurry let it wipe it will take time and it usually get stuck at 98 but eventually will be 100%
once u wipe everything and flash a new ro dont forget to flash a custom recovery as well

I flashed into recovery not to flash a new Rom but to hard reset the phone.. and yes you were right, my phone did wipe completely( needed some patience at that time ) and now, after hard reset, my phone stayed normally but the charge was 0% and ids not charging.. what might be the problem??
Maybe you should use miflash and flash a new ROM via fast boot mode

Ran into the exact same problem yesterday. You need to use a higher output charger. After three different chargers, I came back to the original Mi3 charger and it started charging. I later used Ampere from the Play Store to see the output of different chargers and saw that this red-light blinking only comes with chargers having low output.
I have exactly the same issue. phone switched off and refuses to charge/boot.
whenever, i connect it to charger the red light comes up, the red light will be off after a while even when charger is kept connected.
again if i disconnect and connect the charger, the red light would come back.

I have exactly the same problem! And after a while the LED switch to Green, but when I try to start that phone, it doesn't work and screen only flashes few times and battery is recharging again from 1%
Useful guide
There are two methods suggested for you :
1. Hard turn on (just like taking out the battery for other phones) // Try this first
2. Try entering your recovery and reboot (or perform factory reset) in it.
To hard turn on:
1. Long press the power button for at least 10 seconds. Don't release until you see the Mi logo. Sometimes, more than 10 seconds is required. It depends on your case.
2. Release when you see Mi Logo.
To enter recovery:
1. Press the Power and Volume Up buttons at the same time.
2 Release them when you see the Mi logo.
Now, you should be in the recovery mode.
Tell me if it works. Glad if it helps.

Try Replacing The Battery
Is it solve yet ??
I have the same problem, suddenly power off, red blinking led when connect to charger....
I replaced the battery, and now my mi3 is good like it was....
Sorry bad english....
The other day, I formatted all the partitions and my phone didn't boot anymore (not even the charging led). When I connected it to the computer, all partitions were visible so I used mi flash to install an old stable (kk) rom and it worked!
Hope this helps.

Hello,
i have ufo rom (I have 1.32 version rom but phone was 1.34 ) and ultimate kernel on my phone for few months now. Yesterday my phone discharged and from that moment I cant turn it on. I plugged it into charger and just orange LED is shining. If I try to turn it on while on charger phone vibrates once and LED stop shining. Display remains black, no other response from mobile at all. I also tried the trick with plastic tape and battery ( because of CWM) but it doesnt work. Also I cannot boot into recovery or anything like that. I also borrowed another desire 500 and took fully charged battery from that phone but it doesnt work either. If I connect phone to computer and then turn it on, again it just vibrates once and nothing else happens and windows recognises it as some type of CD ROM. I really cant help myself, I have read lot of articles but none of them helped. So thanks in advance!
Hold the power button for 20 seconds. Maybe turns on.

nope, just vibrates once and no other reaction.
up??
So no one has any idea why I cant boot phone??
You have to go back to stock rom. I had the same problem, vibrating 7 times. Added instructions on how to manage to boot and links for the original HTC rom files. In the general thread see my guide
