I've just purchased an unlocked Moto X 2014 from Kogan.com and i received it in the mail about 2 hours ago, I got it out of the box, turned it on and I was using it for a while - testing the camera and signing into google etc, then after about 5 minutes the phone turned off and now it will not turn on.
Things I've tried:
The phone has a green light when plugged into a wall charger that works on other devices, this does nothing. I try and hold the power buttons, nothing...
I believe that a green light means that the battery is completely dead. Leave it plugged I for awhile, then try again.

Hello,
I am currently using an ATT branded 64 GB HTC One. The Phone is locked and stock except for a few play applications I've downloaded
Nearly every day that I connect the phone to the charger for an extended period of time I will come back to it and it will be frozen, the notification LED will be solid just like its charging normally but the screen will not wake, when the phone is disconnected from the charger the LED stays solid red as if it was still plugged in. At this point I will hold the power button until the phone powers off (or at least seems to, the screen backlight is not on and the LED goes black) and then hold the power button again and it will boot. The more serious problem I've been running in to is after powering down the phone down sometimes it will not power back on again regardless of how long I hold the power button for (I haven't gone over 1:30 of holding the button often but I have tried it). The phone seems dead for either a few minutes or a few hours. Here are some other observations I've made...
- I've had the phone "lock up" on 3 different chargers, HTC bundled charger, generic USB, and the one bundled with my Nexus 4.
- I've thought maybe the phone isn't charging while I am away and when the phone will not wake up maybe it is completely dead so I've hooked it up for about ~15-60 minutes and tried powering the phone up on the above 3 chargers, a Lumia 920 charger, car charger, and charging off computers USB port. None of these seem to have any affect on waking the phone up.
- The time between powering off and when it will power back on seems to be getting longer? I am currently with the dead One, it died about 12 hours ago before bed, tried to power it on last night and again this morning after leaving it on the charger. The closest to powering on that I got was the screen flashed white for a millisecond. Tried to power it back on many times this morning and no go.
- The phone hasn't frozen away from home, but I've only charge it from USB from my PC at work.
Right now I am leaning toward contacting ATT to see if I can arrange an exchange, I'm out of ideas at this point.
I have a C6003 running 4.4 Stock with an unlocked BL and am rooted. The phone screen is cracked at the top third (not smashed, just 2 long cracks) and that third of the screen does not receive touch input, but still displays. Anyway, the phone is currently out of battery, when I try to power it on, I get either a flash of the Sony logo then 3 blinks of the red LED or just straight to the LED, which is normal. I plug it in to charge (tried several USB cable / wall plug combos, up to 2.1A etc.) and the red LED glows solid as it should. Even hours later it still will not power on and gives me the blinking LEDs...It was charging for a total of at least 7 hours and is still not turning on. I have had several battery issues recently but this is the most serious. I am sending my phone in for repair under insurance for the screen but need to back it up first! Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Quick edit to add the fact that this same issue occurred yesterday as well but it eventually powered on with 15% battery, I used it and it would not charge and so that is why it is run down again. Even when powered on it would not charge, the LED did light and it charged for 5 seconds each time the cable was inserted, but after the 5 the LED would stop and it would stop charging. The phone knew the cable was there though as when it was inserted Stamina mode was disabled (as it should) even though it was not charging?

Hi, first of all sorry for my bad english.
I just bought Motorola Moto G 2 and i tried to start it - white LED lights and the device isn't starting, i thought that its normal that the battery isnt charged because its new phone. I plugged charger and it showed me that battery is about 50% charged, and when the charger is plugged phone starts and works normally, when i unplug the charger phone still works (havent checked for longer time but didnt immediatly turn off, just worked), but when i turn phone off and try to turn it on again LED lights like its discharged.
I tried charging to 100% and unplugging, doing reset but still the same. Only works when starting with charger plugged. What should I do? Is there any solution?

If the led is lighting up for just a moment, you didn't hold the power button long enough. If device is not starting up even after pressing power 5-10 sec.... customer service
Hi guys, so basically a while back my Moto X (2013, 1st generation) decided to just stop working so I updated to the 2014 version, however I would really like to get my photos back off of the internal memory of my old Moto X, however it won't turn on at all.
I am not sure if it is an issue with the battery or what, but basically what it does is when you try to turn it on, nothing happens at all, and if you plug it into a charger then the green LED light at the top of the phone turns on (I have read that means that the battery is so dead it can't turn the display on) however, after a few seconds or so of being plugged into a charger, the green light turns off and I have to unplug the charger and plug it back in for the light to come back on.
Is there anyone that knows what exactly is happening and how I could fix this?
I looked up how to change the battery in it, but am not sure if that is what is wrong with the phone or what. And was wondering if I do end up changing the battery and that works, would I still have the photos that are on the phone, or would they be gone?
The phone is simply just a stock 2013 Verizon Moto X, not rooted or anything and it was running KitKat 4.4.4.
try leaving it plugged into the wall over night. then, plug into your computer and see if you can get a connection. also try holding all three buttons for 5 seconds, then let go of the power button (force reboot to recovery).

Just tried both holding down the buttons and plugging it into my computer, both did nothing to the device. I guess I'll try plugging it in over night tonight to see if that does anything. Thanks for the reply.
Use a wall charger that can provide enough output voltage at least 1.5 - 2.0V, Samsung has plenty chargers with this level. Leave it plugged in for 2 to 4 hours, that can do the trick

agreed - using the OEM charger (cable and usb adapter) is the best way to go. 3rd parties adapters do not generate enough power.
Alright, sorry it took so long to respond to this, I had to go on a trip for the past week and didn't have a chance to reply.
I tried charging it over night using the stock charger that came with it and the green LED light at the top of the phone came on, and it was on for like 40 seconds or so, then the light turned off, and there was no other signs of it charging or not. There is no damage to the charger at all so I am guessing it is something wrong with the phone? Anyone know what is causing this or how I could fix it?

Green light usually means dead battery. See if Motorola will replace.

Hello,
I need help. My phone won't turn on.
Last used by my son, he was watching Netflix and drained the battery completely. So I charged the phone using the original charger it came with (turbo charger). It was charging fine and I turned it on (so I can receive notifications).
When I checked the phone after an hour it was off. I tried to turn it on but it won't. I noticed that a tiny light is blinking on the upper left corner of the phone. If I press power, nothing on the screen comes on. Normally when I do that it will show how many percent of the battery is now charged. But the screen is just off. Like dead. Except for the tiny light that blinks when it is plugged in to the charger.
I googled and here are the steps that I have taken:
• used another charger (higher amp) - won't turn on and won't charge except for the tiny light that still blinks
• used another charger (lower amp) - won't turn on and won't charge except for the tiny light that still blinks
• tested original charger and all the chargers and it works for the other phone in the house
• left it to charge several hours using original charger and a separate time charging using the other chargers in the house - won't turn on and won't charge except for the tiny light that still blinks
• left it unused overnight then charged in the morning - still no go
• Pressed power button (also power+volume down) 3 minutes - won't turn on
• Pressed power button (also power+volume down) 3 minutes while plugged in to the charger/pc - won't turn on
• connected the phone to PC - not detected
Right now it is in the freezer because one of the search results I saw said to put it in for 5 minutes and then charge. I am trying almost anything I can find. Warranty is no go because this is a 13 month old phone. :crying:
I need help from anyone here who has suggestions I can try. :crying::crying::crying:

Hello
Thanks for your help although
My phone is now up and running (after 3 days being dead)
What happened was I was ready to follow the link you sent
I connected my phone to laptop then without doing anything else (just plugged in) I finally saw the lightning icon on the screen indicating that it is charging
So I unplugged my phone and charged it using original charger and after leaving it for 3 hours it is now fully charged at 100% I am using it now as I am typing my reply
I am so happy.
The only thing I did before this worked again was I left my phone in the freezer for a few hours lol
Then left it unused whole day
Then tonight I plugged it in the laptop and voila that's what happened
Even better, less fuss!
Hi guys, any chance that someone can provide me a mmcblk0.img file for XT1805?
