Lin OS 14.1 ZF2 won't turn on again, after AUX connection - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

linOS 14.1 7.october 2017
My phone won't turn on anymore.
I first connected it with aux to a Bose Soundlink box and then I wanted to charge it also but then it just went off.
But I wasn't using a normal usb adapter, I was using a PC to charge my phone.
Now I can't turn it on. I've tried to press the power button and the volume button to get into recovery that doesn't work either.
I also got rid off the back cover and pressed the power button with a scredriver but that didn't work either.
Are there known issues that are like my issue ? Is my phone bricked in any type or form?
I'm actually really frustrated and don't know what to do anymore..

A pc doesn't really provide enough juice to charge our phone properly. Especially if you are using it at the same time. Could be the battery is just fully discharged. I would try charging it with the proper charger without touching it for at least a few hours.

I'm really thankful for your idea but I don't think that this is the issue.
It went instantly off after I connected the cable to the pc.
The cable was not an original cable from asus or some other smartphone brand,
so is it possible that this cable could've damaged or destroyed my phone/battery in any way ?
I also noticed that there is no LED on that should indicate that the phone is being loaded.. :/

Galaxy Nexus GSM won't charge!

I jad it turned off and left it plugged, charged at 3:00am today. I woke up 6 hours later and the phone still shows the battery charging indicator. But, when I turned on the phone, it still says "0% connect charger. "
Can anyone tell me why the battery is still at zero? What could be the problem? The USB connection to Laptop works fine, btw.

how did you charge it? usb or ac?
Both. Charged via usb for 2 hours with no gain. AC for 6 hours & no gain.

same cable i assume? was it the one that came with the phone?
with it not charging via usb, i'm not surprised. there isnt a ton of voltage going through when plugged into the computer.
From my past Android experiences, if I remember correctly, a phone not charging while turned off is usually a recovery image issue. Try flashing the stock recovery and see if that solves your issue.
I re-flashed stock ics through odin last night before charging and used htc cable. The phone was running very smooth when battery was partially charged. Now the phone is dead due to power down cause it won't charge. Just won't turn on.

It's the USB port... It have been covered several times here. Do a search and you should find ~30 threads about this issue.

Well, that is quite harsh. I have the same issue now, and it applies to both usb and ac-adapter, with different cables as well.
Specific links please?

You're trying to charge it with a HTC cable? Charge it with the stock charger
Ever tried charging it when its off if you get the charging animation? Then again that is one option.
Another would be to check if you have fast charge option enabled from any kernels.
Its on stock kernel, and yes to all questions you guys asked. I charged it with stock oem samsung cable, while it's on and off. See charge animation when it's off, and when it's on too. The phone does not have root access.

I had a similar problem until recently. I have a GSM GN that I've never fooled with, and suddenly one day it wouldn't charge when I plugged the micro usb port into it. I would have to plug in the micro usb side, then pull and replug the other end of the cable. It was bizarre. I tried other cables, chargers, etc. All the same.
However, I think I fixed my problem by entering the boot loader and restarting it. Power off, then hold power and both volume keys. When the boot loader appears, you can press volume up and down to select "Restart boot loader" and then hit the power key. After I did this, the GN started working normally again.
Hopefully that'll help you fix your problem.

Thanks, worked like a charm!!

Battery dead. Won't charge or turn on.

I ran my battery all the way down last night. Left the phone on the wall charger overnight and it is not responsive. Tried to turn it on using all combinations of powers button and volume buttons. When the phone is connected to a pc it doesn't recognize it. But when I try to power the phone on while connected, the pc makes the sounds indicating something is connected.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Leave is connected to a powered PC port for a couple hours. Not sure why but I've had luck bringing devices back from beneath the cutoff voltage level using low amperage charging. Heck my best recovery charging port has been the USB port on my cable box.

Make sure you are using the original power adapter.

Thanks for the replies. I am using the OEM cable. I've tried putting it on power using the wall charger. I've also tried using a PC. I've tried the bright light trick. I've tried pressing both volume buttons, one volume button, the other volume button. I've tried power button by itself. I think I've pretty much bricked my phone. I'm willing to listen to other suggestions

Must be that time of the month.. this happened to me last night.
Left the house around 90%, phone was getting pretty hot.. So I rebooted, twice.. still hot.. so I turned it off for 15 minutes. It was still pretty warm after that, but I decided to turn it on again. When it came up, I was at 18%!. So I sent a couple of texts, and just turned it off thinking I would be able to turn it on later. No such luck. OEM charger does nothing, I plugged into laptop for 20 minutes, nothing.. So I left it on the charger overnight. I still have nothing this morning. Going to leave it on a PC USB port for awhile and see what happens..
Is there an official process for getting your phone back up??
I'm rooted, unlocked, s-off.. so I'm worried if I go to Verizon (it's only been 50 days), they'll discover that if they get my phone back up.
Left mine on the charger over night and held the power down as I took it off the charger seemed to do the trick.

[SOLVED] [Q] Possibly bricked....

Hi,
my battery ran very low (~2%), and I put it in a car charger, and used it for a call. I've heard of car chargers or combination of different cables etc. causing problems, but I think I can rule out a burned out motherboard, as the phone was functioning for the call and a text was sent after.
About 5 min after I took it out of the car charger (got home) I noticed that the capacitive buttons were lit. I tried turning the phone screen on, nothing happened. So I held down the power button for 20 seconds or so, again nothing. Then I held down the power button and volume down, and it went into recovery (twrp)
Not sure why I did this, but I wiped the cache and dalvik cache, and hit reboot system. Now at this point I don't know if the battery died, or if it tried to reboot and didn't work. Either way, it is now dead
I have tried the following;
Hold power button, no response
Hold power button, and volume down, no response
Hold power button, volume down and volume up, no response
Left charger plugged in for an hour, no response
There is no led light on when the charger is plugged in
I have tried connecting to a pc, it makes the 'new device connected' sound, and soon after, the disconnect sound. Windows states that the usb device is not recognised.
Any ideas?
Forgot to mention I'm on Slimrom 4.2.2 build 8 official
Is it true that the phone can't be charged while in TWRP?
Any help would be appreciated, I need to flash KK!!
Shameless bump
I have tried the script to get the phone to charge/ get battery voltage here;

Can anyone pls help with this script mentioned in post #4??
I've rooted/ custom rom'd about 9 phones, I can't believe that it can be bricked by losing battery power while in recovery... nothing has ever gone wrong like this, please help!!
Try leaving it charging for ~24 hours
Try unplugging the battery from the motherboard and plugging it back in, if not get a new battery HOX is only about 5 pounds or you can upgrade to a HOX+ battery for about 20 pounds.
tried charging overnight ~12 hrs, no joy, but thanks
I have it opened up now, so might try disonnecting and re-connecting battery, thanks
I have been speaking to the team at TWRP on irc chat. Somebody suggested to strip USB cable back and connect bare wires to terminals of battery to see if it will charge. Will this cause problems as USB is ~5v and the battery is 3.7v??

I wouldn't risk the USB thing. You might as well get a new battery. I have a spare HOX+ battery which is 2040mah bigger than the HOX, I could sell that to you for a cheaper price than everyone elses.
I have since replaced the battery, and also a new power flex cable (that I broke during disassembly!) and something has changed at least......
Beforehand, Windows did not recognise the device at all, sometimes the 'USB device not recognised' dialogue box wouldn't even appear, although it would make a sound
Anyway, now it says that it's not recognised, but in Device Manager, it says it is a APX device (before it was an unknown device)
Can anyone shed any light on this?

htc 816 dual sim help!!!

while using my phone, it suddenly lagged and I wasn't able to turn it on anymore. I tried charging it but only an one orange blink led appeared and it is not charging. Tried the power button + vol up and down method but no luck. please help me my phone is rooted with carbon rom and cwm recovery.
thanks in advance
any1? :/
Are you sure the micro usb is engaging the port properly to charge?
I've dropped and yanked mine around enough that the charging port doesn't always work unless it's a nice tight cable connection.
Try using the factory charger instead of a usb port if you haven't, and let it sit plugged in overnight if you can. Maybe even weight down the cord right by the phone, either right side up or flipped over whichever engages the charging light (if either)
Just thoughts.
The volume up plus power takes at least ten seconds to kick in the power off as well

Lenovo Zuk Z2 won't Charge. Battery is dead

Hello everyone. My Lenovo Zuk Z2 battery have died and it won't recharge.
When I plug in the charger the bottom of the phone get really hot. at the top of the phone there is a white light that just blinks. the phone does not turn on.
I tried connecting it to my laptop but i only get the message that the usb does not recognize the device.
I would really like to get my data off the phone if it cannot be fixed.
Please help!
Hi there this happened to me to. On its first day so I am sending back the phone.
Any possibility you used quickcharge 2.0 charger? I read this is a problem for the phone and the dedicated chip is broken in the phone what needs to be replaced.
Something similar happened to me too. My phone had switched off after the battery got low and when I tried to charge it, the white LED would blink, the charge symbol would show up at 0%, then the phone would vibrate and the cycle would repeat. I realized the problem was I was using not using the original USB-C charging cable. I had bought an additional usb-c "fast-charging' cable and I was charging using that. Once I switched back to my original cable, all was good.
Might be some hardware failure. Hardware Repairs will probably be necessary
Same problem guys tried using the original cable please helpppp

I followed the advice from this:

different phone, but it worked.
Basically:
disconnect battery
hold power button down for 7 seconds
reconnect battery

I don't know how long this fix works, but hopefully long enough for you to rescue your important stuff.
Good luck.
