Screen went black.
Pulled battery.
Battery In.
Plugged into PC.
I get OMAP4440 in Device Manager for 0.8 seconds then instant dead phone.
OMAP4440 comes back half a second later then back to dead phone.
No Fastboot, No LCD, No Nothing.
DEAD Battery, I will keep it plugged in overnight, the USB may not be giving it enough voltage for the boot.
Any help greatly appreciated. There is not enough time to flash anything while the phone is actually "on" for the 0.8 seconds.
What caused the screen to go black? Did you flash something right before?
I mean this is no regular boot up, you obviously attempted something right before boot up!

why not charge in the wall in the mean time? (just curious)
See if you can get a hold of one of these: http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Don...73JQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326592299&sr=8-1
When you plug it in, it boots the phone into ODIN mode.
But yeah, firstly, try charging the phone up first.

I was doing a battery calibration, resulting in many battery pulls.

So I had this phone for a while now its starting to act up.
I pretty much killed the phone to 0-1% then plugged it in to charge and left it for 8 hours (sleeping), I wake up and find it only charged 3%, wow seriously? I fiddle around with it and it goes back to 0%?
Problem? Anyone had similar issue?
P.S I did search first, couldn't find any...

It's probably a dead battery or hardware issue. I'd go to your seller and ask him what to do. Most likely you'll get a new device!
TIP: Try to charge it through your USB-port in your laptop/pc, perhaps the power supply is damaged?
I've had this problem. It's not really a problem, and it's easy to solve.
Find a different charger, like an iphone charger (worked for me) but other chargers than the HTC One will work :-D

Its completely turned off now, im charging it but the red light just keeps flashing on an off, gonna leave it in for 1-2 hours and see how it is.
Okay, I left it for around 1 hour but the red light has stop flashing, problem?
Anyone? I tried another charger like the iPhone but same result... HELP!
Have you tried holding the power button down for 10 seconds, it equivalent to a battery pull, and then see if it will charge.
John.
are u using custom recovery?
Now, the CWM Recovery has a bug that the phone cannot be charged when power off
I've faced your situation, I got into bootloader, flash back the official recovery first through bootloader, try your phone can be charged when power off

I can't turn the thing on but I connected the usb via to the computer and the notification is blinking red, I assume its charging, the thing is yesterday I unlocked the bootloader (was at 95%), rooted it etc then started playing with it until it reached 1% and left it to charge overnight but it only went to 3% :/
Hopefully it charges fully after 8 hour of leaving it plugged in to computer while I go to work.
I would not leave you phone charging unattended, as lin-ion battery sometimes vent flames, when they are faulty and you don't want your house burning down.

Hmmm, I might bring it to work, but I can't get it swapped due to bootloader, fml.

That tip about plugging it into my laptop absolutely worked! I was panicking for a bit because my phone was stuck at the 0% boot screen and I thought it was bricked. But I followed this tip and it instantly started charging. Thank so much
i just recently installed Gederom v1.7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619550) and used it for a few minutes after it was done. Then i decided that I needed to charge it. I plugged it in. Then my Kindle just stopped working. First it shutdown. I tried turning it on again, but it wouldn't turn on. I then unplugged it to see if it would turn on. It did, but only for a few seconds. I could see the FireFireFire logo. Then it shut down. It doesn't turn on if it is plugged in. I do not think it is because the battery is low because I had let it charge while it was shutdown (it just broke) overnight. Please help me!!!!!!!

It doesn't work. My kindle doesn't turn on if it is plugged in. It can only turn on when it is not plugged in. I tried unplugging it, powering it on, then plugging it in, but it didn't work. I am using the usb charger.

Did you leave it plugged in for a couple hours? Don't try to turn it on. Just leave it plugged in for a while.

Does your KF stay on with no problems or sudden shut downs while it is unplugged from any charger?
With my last phone, I has a problem similar to what you have described. It was strange because when I plugged it in to the wall, the little light on the usb adapter would actually turn off, like it was tripping the circuit somehow...and then when i took it back off, that light would come on. So, I had to charge its battery externally.
If you can, check to see if that is the issue. If it is, you're probably just screwed unfortunately :/
that's my story for the day...good luck though

Rooted Kindle Fire on CM10
My kindle's dead and I can't seem to charge it up. When i plug in my charger it boots up to the boot animation then just dies and starts all over.
I can't find my stock kindle charger, so what are my options?

I can't turn it off, the kindle is already off because it is dead. When i plug the charger in, it automatically turns on and it dies during the bootanimation and repeats..
The kindle shuts down before he will have time to power it down and let it charge. I just spent the last 48 hours battling this same thing.
Your options from what I can see:
1. Buy another stock Kindle charger.
2. Find another 5v charger you have laying around with at least 1.8A. If it's a micro-usb, just use that to try to charge the kindle. If you have a 5v charger with at least 1.8A that isn't for a micro-USB device:
3. Get your non-micro USB charger and a spare micro usb cable. Cut off the end of the charger (Right before the part where it connects to the device), open the cable's casing, and look for black and red wires. Strip these. Now, cut the end off of your USB cable that connects to the computer. Open the casing, look for black and red. Strip. Now, connect red from the charger to the red of the USB cable. Likewise with the black. Intertwine the fibers; make sure it's secure. Cover the newly joined part of the cable (wheree the wires are exposed) with electrical tape to keep the red and black from touching. Try to charge the kindle now. Leave it plugged in for hours; it may take this long for it to work.
If you can't charge the kindle as described above, I have one more method, but it's risky and it will definitely void your warranty if you haven't already done so (unlikely). I had to resort to this method tonight, having no idea of whether or not it would work. But thankfully, it worked and my Kindle is now finally charging. This is a last resort, however.
And then when you have gone through the hassle of doing that once never let it happen again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623244 upgrade your bootloader that will solve this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935

Do you know if this makes the Kindle Fire absolutely impervious to the low battery booting issue? Does FFF 1.4 fix it completely?
If I were to completely drain my battery as much as I could, would it still boot after I plugged a charger in?

last time I tested it my battery was at 1% I didnt get the please wait battery to low warning but I believe it did what it was intended to do previous tests proved that its completely effective on my daughter kindle a few month before just plugged it in and finally it booted by itself took about 15 mins for it to gain enough to boot, but it could take several hours on usb charge if its totally drained to the bone. Nothing is impervious

if you have fff 1.4a simply power it off and plug it to your computer to charge leave it alone for say a few hours then try again
Your kf may be turning on but can't start the system. You should holding the power button in 20s. The kf will be turned off. You just pluggin your charger to charge its.
You can unbrick your kf by many way. Search in this forum to find a right way for your case.
send from my kindle fire using cm7
Will this method work on the kfhd too?
Hi, I have a One X which discharged to nothing on Saturday night/Sunday morning as I was in hospital and my wife was using it to call people.
I had a similar problem in June, once dead it won't take any charge, it won't power up normally and it won't boot up either with the volume down being pressed at the same time.
Nothing lights or flashes.
In June I sent it to O2 and it came back fixed, but I've had a conversation today to say the warranty is voided as I've rooted it.
They are saying that it needs a new main board as it is rooted. I kept explaining that I don't need a new board, just some charge to be put into the battery.
I do think that I've tried everything this time, and last, to get the phone started again without sending it away, but I'd appreciate advice on getting it up and running and how best to deal with O2, what arguments to use etc.
Many thanks

Try plugging it in to the charger and pressing the power button quickly 3 times. Keep trying that until it powers on and then charge as usual.

Just Plug it in With Official HTC Cable In A New PC which has USB 2 or greater port. Eventually after sometime you will c blinking red light. Once you get blinking red light pull out and plug it back in again after some time red led will become stable. at this point turn on the phone.
Once the OS loads again repeat Plug out Plug In USB Cable. It should now charge. If it stops charging repeat Plug out Plug again. Hope this helps.
I am doing this now and i have reached 12%. Hope this helps you

Any idea how long before this might show a red light?
Also, is this any different to leaving it plugged into a power lead?

Actually it should show the blinking red light after 20 appx minutes after charging. Then after few minutes it should get stable, and then you can powerup the device.

Hmmmm, back from lunch, it's been plugged in since 9.00 this morning, 4 hours, and nothing.
Repair needed?
Ok, having taken it to a repairer I was told there was nothing wrong with the battery, charging unit etc, it was a complicated matter that they couldn't sort out.
Does anybody know of a reputable repairer who may be able to take a look please?
Many thanks.
