phone died, turns on, but no display ? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I have a moto x xt1092. I flashed the us firmware and converted it to xt1095. all has been running perfect for 3 weeks or so. Today, my battery was low and the phone died. after about 10 mins I put it on charging, let it charge till the battery was 15%. I turn it on, the phone does turn on, all boot animations and all come, but after the motorola boot animation the display goes blank. I press and hold the power button, the option of turning the phone off comes up, nothing else. This has happened twice before, and after 5-10 mins the display starts working normally. But now, it isnt. PLease help me with the same.
ALso, the phone is getting very hot at every boot.
I have tried wiping the caches.
Flashing the firmware again is my last resort cuz i do not want the data deleted.
Thank you for your time

There is only one way to fix this. You have to factory reset the phone.
If you have a custom recovery installed you can use it to backup your files before you factory reset the phone.

I flashed the firmware again. It is working fine now though I lost the apps and their data. Also, an idea what may have caused this, so I take precautions from next time?

Almost every time I have seen the problem someone says "my battery died". So my suggestion is to hold your power button when your battery is super low and then press power off to shut it down safely. It's just like a computer if the battery dies while the computer is in use it can cause damage.

Boot loop

And now I'm boot looping won't go past n color startup animation wth
Sent from my Cyanogen Mod EVO using Tapatalk
I had that problem on my NC when it was rooted. Luckily I had another problem that let me get out by the 8 times reset manual method. Mine would occasionally update itself back to version 1.0.0. When it did that I managed to reset it & now a new NC is on its way to replace this one.
This probably won't help solve the issue but at least it lets you know you're not alone.
Mine boot looped and I did the full 8X reboot thing and then the 3 button data reset. All of that puts you back to "out-of-the-box" stock. You can then redo the autonooter rooting procedure.
Can't get out
I am stuck in a boot loop and cant get out.
First it was stuck on the droid boot animation from the auto config. After I put the autonooter card back in it started looping the rooted boot animation.
Did the 3 button thing and that forced an update but went back to bootlooping the rooted animation.
Then did the 8X reboots manually and that also forced the down arrow update, but then it still bootloops.
I tried getting in from PuTTy (as admin) but it never connects. Do I just use port 22? (to 192.168.2.2 with Data and username as root?)
adb doesn't work... going to bed now and will try again tomorrow after work.
What i had to do to resolve my issue was that was to do the 8x reset to trigger the factory reset of the OS and then do the 3 button reset of the user data. In my case it was a self tweaked issue with an app permisson. If I remember right the key combo is Power+VolUp+"n" key. Try this and let us know.

So ... I left my Nook in what I thought was an "OFF" state last night, only to bring it to work and find it says "Battery too low to Power on" "Please wait 15 minutes and try again"
I think... no worries... plug it in and let 'er sit for an hour.... an hour passes and I'm still getting the same screen.
Is this better or worse? let me see...
1) if it stays like this, I can return/exchange it at B&N and they won't be able to verify that it was rooted due to non-bootiness
2) If it eventually boots, I will have to try to get it out of bootloop.
3) If it comes to life and I can't get it out of bootloop, I will drain the battery again and go back to #1.
Any thoughts besides this current train?
sort of working?
OK....
so after charging on USB port (all I have at work today as I forgot the base to the charger), it will bootloop again... yay!
problem is... the bootloops take too much juice and won't allow me to fail 8 reboots. I can't even charge it up enough since I'm on USB charging and it keeps trying to turn itself on.
2 Options i see:
1) Go home and charge it on the wall and see if that helps
2) Discharge it to death and return within my 30 days (X-mas gift)
Doubt this will work, but have you tried putting in an autonooter sdcard and then plug it into the usb? If it tries to boot maybe it will boot from that sdcard?
Boot from the Froyo SD card, then fix /rom/devconf/BootCnt from ADB.

Try Geezer's tip but do this:
Do three button reset WITH the autonooter card in there.
Got it working
Finally got it working after creating a Nookie Froyo card and booting off of that.
Then I reinstalled ADB on my work computer and reset the BootCnt file to 8...
that successfully restored /system and then the 3 finger trick actually gave an option to wipe.
Now to start over.
New Question: How likely is this hardware related and should I be looking to replace it before my 30 days is up>?
I ran into the same problem, trying the same solution - any luck the second time?

I did it all from my Nookie...

I was wondering how you fixed this..i have read everywhere, but nothing...im stuck in the nook co screen. This happened right after i plugged my nook to charge after my battery was drained...thnks

Phone keeps shutting down

Today my 4X encountered a strange problem: It shut down itself (I thought the battery was empty and charged it), and after restarting it just shuts down immediately. It shows the lockscreen saying "no SIM" and then shuts down. Anyone know a solution to fix this? I suppose a factory reset might do it, but I don't have a backup now and would like to keep my data.

If it is the SIM then try a different SIM, or put a folded piece of paper between the holder and the SIM - I always do that with phones just to make sure it keeps good contact at all times.
Other than that, no real idea mate - sorry
I think it should also work without a SIM. But as said, it just shows the lockscreen for ~2 seconds and then shuts down. I have tried without a sim, it's the same. I'll try with a different one, but I suppose that won't help much. I think i'll also try a kdz reflash, but i'll have to set up my father's PC to do so. Just thought maybe someone knows a quick solution.
Alright, i've just done a kdz reflash - same situation. Is there a way to adb pull the /data/data from any of the other modes (recovery, Emergency etc.?)

Weird... Reflash use to replace all files and stock settings unless you have some app avoiding them to run... Reflash don't delete installed apps most part of the time. If you have frozen apps they'll remain frozen. Did you factory reset before reflash?

No, as said i wanted to try everything before doing a factory reset (don't have a recent backup because Ubuntu won't recognize the MTP mode properly). I have restarted the phone many times before without that strange behaviour and didn't freeze anything since then. I just can't tell where the problem comes from. BTW, the SIM is recognised now (after the reflash), but still shutting down.

You notice some over heat, you try to use it without SD card, it keeps rebooting when charger is connected?...
Cause appart of hardware malfunction, I can't see any other reason... of course we don't know if the system file is corrupted or not...
If the phone is ON time enough, you can copy the data files/ folders to your SD card, after save them all you can factory reset...
Wait for better help cause I have no idea... sorry

It's not because of heat, the phone is really cool. It just stays on for a second or so, just enough to see the lockscreen or the "Enter PIN" screen and then it shuts down. It's like the battery was empty, but it's charged. It even shows the charged battery symbol. Guess I'll have to do a factory reset and lose my data. As root is gone, I also can't boot to the bootstrap recovery (with this method) to backup there. Should have done that before doing a reflash...

You can try to downgrade before factory reset... some apps won't work but, maybe the phone just don't turn OFF and you'll be able to save your data.
So downgrading didn't work either. I'll use the LG Support Tool to upgrade and factory reset now (with data loss). That should hopefully fix it.
Well, the LG Support tool also didn't fix it. Data is lost now, so I can freely do whatever I want
I've tried to get into the "low-level mode" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35524491&postcount=11), but no success. Can someone point me into the right direction and on how to press those buttons? I've tried several combinations, but they all didn't work out - either the battery symbol appeared or the phone booted to recovery or to the "do not touch cable notice" mode.
As far as I understand I should do the following steps:
1) Remove the battery and USB cable
2) Insert the battery and plug in the cable. The phone vibrates once, then shows the LG logo, then shows a battery symbol and then turns off the screen.
3) Press Vol+ and power and hold it. The battery logo shows again. There is a sound indicating that some device is connected to Windows. The screen turns off and there is a sound indicating that the device is disconnected from Windows. Let go off the buttons.
4) Press the buttons again until there is a sound indicating that a device is connected to Windows. Let go off the buttons. The screen should remain off.
Is this correct? What am I doing wrong? Do I have to wait at some point for some action? As said, all I ever got was the "battery symbol" again (for a few seconds).

Once that data is gone, just reflash the phone.
My advice, like always is, downgrade, factory reset, upgrade , root, factory reset.
hope you don't tell me that you have problems with flash method...
I have tried that. Flashed v10a, wiped data in recovery, upgraded to v10h via LG Support Tool. Still shutting down. I thought the emergency recovery might fix it but I cant get the emergency mode to work. I'll call the LG support tomorrow and hope they'll bring me a new phone.

If when you're flashing, you use "web upgrade" instead of normal upgrade, it will upgrade with LG Tool, official firmware, what it means that is the same than the emergency recovery that you're trying to use.
The difference is that you don't need to use IMEI. The detection is automatic.

Thanks, I thought the Emergency Recovery was still different. So no chance to fix this now. LG's support won't work on Christmas, so three more days stuck with it.
I got the phone back today. Put the battery in, started, and... it shut down. AGAIN. They were supposed to fix that! Anyone near me who has a spare battery for testing? After all that might be faulty.

It goes down when charger is connected?
Yes, it does. And it recognises the battery as full, that's why I don't suppose it's because of that. But one never knows.
mines done it a couple times recently too! just living with it till the update!
Problem solved. A new battery did the trick. But I still don't know why it would shut down with the old one.

[Q] Newbie boot loop problem?

Hi everyone, I'm sure this question has been answered before but being a complete noob, I honestly don't understand ANY of the technical terms such as "rooting", "flashing", "ROMS", etc etc. So most of the answers I have read make zero sense to me.
My phone started bootlooping when it was in my bag and I have no idea why it started doing so. The battery ended up draining enough to get it out of the bootloop and it was working fine for a day or so, until I put it back in my bag to go out and when I took it out, it was bootlooping again.
What I am trying to ask is what might be the cause of this and is there anyone who can explain how to fix this issue (in simple terms) so that I'd understand?
Cheers.
mine is doing same!

Well I don't know what rooting or mods are, so I doubt it is anything like that. The only things I've really done with my phone are install apps from the play store, torrent music using utorrent and save images/pictures. I thought that maybe it was due to my phone overheating in my bag as it has been rather hot the past few days. Could that be a possible reason?

since it seems you haven't done anything to your phone (ie unlocking, custom ROMs, etc), this could likely be a hardware problem.
how's the power button working? damaged?
you can also do a factory reset in bootloader, power off your phone, then hold VOLDOWN, press POWER, keep holding VOLDOWN until the bootloader appears (the white screen, with a few options), you use VOLUP and VOLDOWN to move the "cursor" and POWER to select the option you want.

if it's rebooting in bootloader, then it's very likely the power button that's the problem, for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563572

The problem with my phone is that I found it. Turned it in and no one claimed it for a substantial amount of time so I gained ownership of it. I don't have the warranty or anything that came with the phone except for the phone itself and the charger. If I took it to a phone repair shop would they possibly be able to fix it? Or am I screwed...
Okay so I let my phone run out of battery over night and just plugged it in to charge then and it's seemed to have gotten out of the bootloop and it working normally now, so would this still possibly be a hardware issue? And is there anything I can do to prevent it from bootlooping again?
i phoned up orange and they said to ring htc as ive only had the phone for 5 months . will ring them 2moro. pain in the ass.

Im not sure this is hardware related, there are a few things you can try though to prevent this from happening again. first off, if you ever do encounter another bootloop... pressing and holding in the power button for around 20 seconds or so forces a reboot, the capacitive button on the bottom will start to blink. Second would be to boot into thee bootloader by powering down the phone, holding the volume down button and powering back on while holding voldown. this will bring you to a menu described above eariler, then do a factory reset.

[Q] Z1 Not powering down!!!

Hello
I own a Z1 C6903 running KitKat 4.4.2 not rooted and locked BL
A couple of days into installing the KitKat update, I gave the phone to my dad who borrowed it until a week ago. He noticed that when holding down the power button and select the power off option, the click yes to shut-down thingy didn't pop up so the phone has never been switched off for over a month. The phone also ran extreeeemely slow with camera app on 4.3 loading in less than a second but now taking over ten seconds simply to load the app, 5 seconds to open up the camera and crashes out all the time. Free RAM has dropped from around 1GB free to less than 500mb at times. I used the repair option in PC Companion which worked so the phone could switch off and the phone ran smoothly (I used Helium Backup to backup my apps before doing the 'Repair' on PC Companion) until the next day where it had the same issue. The camera now just won't load at all and I'm stuck. Free RAM is less than 200mb. Bearing in mind I'm not rooted and running bone dry stock, what can I do to fix this? I need a working phone fast.
Hard reset it by pressing volume up and power button until it vibrates 3 times.
Or, press the red button in the SIM card slot
But, tbh, I wish I had the problem that my phone would not switch off for a month, that's awesome battery life!

Hard reset also powers the phone down right? If so, I tried that yesterday still exactly the same. And what does the red button do?
Also, yes the battery life is pretty spectacular, I get a full 1-3 days running on 4G but only around 2 hours screen time; I guess thats why

The hard reset does not power off your phone?
You should not get a dialogue box, just press and hold volume up and power button. Once it vibrates 3 times the phone is off. Are you sure the phone stays on when it vibrates 3 times?

Just done that again, I must have done it wrong last time but when powering back on, still the same, can't switch off through the power menu and everything still slow. If this helps, before on 4.3 and early days with 4.4, after powering down (through power menu) once switched back on the phone was smoother and more free RAM was available. That doesn't happen when powering down using the hard reset. A friend suggested that maybe an app is blocking the phone from powering down and eating up RAM? That does make sense as the problem started again shortly after re-installing my apps through Helium Backup...

How do I make a nandroid backup without CWM?!

My apologies, I forgot you were not rooted (Is there any reason you don't want to root?). Also, transfering from internal storage should not take 6 hours....

Hello
I own a Z1 C6903 running KitKat 4.4.2 not rooted and locked BL
A couple of days into installing the KitKat update, I gave the phone to my dad who borrowed it until a week ago. He noticed that when holding down the power button and select the power off option, the click yes to shut-down thingy didn't pop up so the phone has never been switched off for over a month. The phone also ran extreeeemely slow with camera app on 4.3 loading in less than a second but now taking over ten seconds simply to load the app, 5 seconds to open up the camera and crashes out all the time. Free RAM has dropped from around 1GB free to less than 500mb at times. I used the repair option in PC Companion which worked so the phone could switch off and the phone ran smoothly (I used Helium Backup to backup my apps before doing the 'Repair' on PC Companion) until the next day where it had the same issue. The camera now just won't load at all and I'm stuck. Free RAM is less than 200mb. Bearing in mind I'm not rooted and running bone dry stock, what can I do to fix this? I need a working phone fast.

I had the same issue, that the phone wasn't shutting down.
It was because of corrupted data (after update).
Wiping data should fix that problem.

When you have the world's slowest laptop then it does, , I had to remove everything from my external sd to my laptop then transfer internal storage to my external card as my laptop wouldn't allow me to do this on it so I had to do it from the phone directly and then restore internal storage and external sd (that's 29GB used) but I don't want to root because it'll void warranty and also as my dad also uses this phone occasionally and I've killed off most of my phones by rooting them and in one case bricking them, he doesn't want me to root it...

100% sure of this?
Make sure quick boot is disabled in developers options!

Yeah.
I switched to antoher ROM and restored data and after some while I've noticed that it wan't shutting down.
You said that You've tried repairing Your phone, but if the data hasn't been wiped then nothing will change.
So, If You haven't tried wiping data until now, then do it. (if You have a rooted device then You always might do a nandroid & titanium backup.)
Wiping data is a basic thing when changing to another ROM, because there always might be an issue with something, like for example this powering off device.
One more question, can You open input languages menu in the settings (this was a second problem I had after ROM change, it forced close)?

This issue of not powering down is solved, my friend recommended I install all my apps fresh without restoring them from a backup and this worked. However my free ram and camera lag isn't sorted

Boot up optimization issue since 5.1 OTA update

Hi all
I've got a XT1053 Developer Edition and did the 5.1 update when it was released a few months ago. Every time I power the phone up it will go through the whole optimizing process of all 78 apps on the phone. This process takes 10 minutes and has really become a pain in the rear. It wasn't like this at first but the last few times it does it everytime. The phone is unrooted and the bootloader is still locked. Never got around to unlocking it.
I have done a hard reset but that did not help.
i think you could try to reflash the official ROM

Also having this problem on my XT1058 (ATT)
Super freaking annoying. I did a hard reset too and it still happens every couple of days. WTF?!

I have noticed it happens mostly when I run the battery flat and need to charge it first before I boot the phone up.
Make sure you are not connected to the charger when you reboot ...

Noted! Because I think it only happens when the phone powers up after running out of juice and it's still connected to the charger. Was never an issue with 4.4.4
