Accidentally allowed the battery to drain too low... At first the device would boot up just fine and would get to the OS then shut off. So I downloaded the updated FFF 1.4A.zip flashable bootloader, placed it on the device and was about to install it, in hopes of alleviating this issue, but the device shut off after the file transfer, before I could flash it, and now it will not turn back on.
I'm running this bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615093 ...
As I said, it won't even turn on (no green light) when I push the button at this point.
When I plug it into the USB cable and/or the wall-charger, the "FIREFIREFIRE Extended Bootloader" screen and the green light just flashes over and over...
Any ideas?
If I could just get it to STOP FLASHING the bootloader screen and get into recovery I have "fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip" waiting to be flashed...
I had put that file on the device to fix this problem but it shut off on me right after the transfer and it has been flashing the bootloader screen since then...
All I need is to get into recovery!!!!! ARGH!!
I have read from the experts, that you should plug it in, hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds (this makes sure it is off) and let it charge for a couple of hours.

Yea... I've tried that... However, no matter what I plug it into, USB cable or stock "wall-charger", the bootloader screen just flashes. The power button is unresponsive during this. Holding it down does nothing...
I'm hoping to avoid having to do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806620&highlight=battery+dead
But I'm preparing for this last resort as it's becoming increasingly clear that this may be necessary.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Problem solved, new bootloader installed!
For some strange reason the bootloader screen stopped flashing after I decided to try plugging it into the stock wall charger again. It stopped flashing and allowed me to access recovery. I unplugged it and it stayed on long enough for me to install the new bootloader...
All is now good. What is strange however is the bootloader didn't stop the boot process. She booted up right into the OS and stayed on. I plugged it in, navigated to Settings > Battery and it is charging!
VERY WEIRD but very cool!
So for those of you having issues with charging, it's absolutely necessary to have FFF 1.4A bootloader installed! If you cannot get into recovery or the device will not turn on, just keep trying the stock wall charger. Just plug it in and keep plugging it in. Keep on messing with it. Eventually, somehow, it will take enough of a charge to get you into recovery...
Kindle is stuck in boot loop. It shows the Kindle Fire logo and then reboots in 5 secs. I am not sure what to do here. Guys please help.

Hold the power button until it shuts of completely. Plug it into the charger and immeditely hold the power button to shut it off again. If you can get it to stay off, leave it alone for a few hours and check it again.
I flashed the cm12.1 and the phone was almost dead so I plugged it in and then 20 minutes later I decided to unplug it and it shutdown and now it is stuck in the charging mode and won't boot up. What do I have to do to make it boot ?
Hold the power button untill it vibrates twice..then release it...it will shut down.
I have a second generation Kindle Fire hd, and after I press the power button it shows the Kindle Fire logo then shuts off completely. I tried holding the power button for 30 seconds to see if it would turn on and no luck. I also received a factory cable to see if that would help, but once it loads into fastboot mode it shuts off.
I'm not exactly sure what the problem could be, maybe a dead battery? I just wanted to know if anyone could shed some light on this please?
Are you able to boot into recovery? Press and hold the volume up button (the one nearest the camera) while the kindle's booting (and keep holding it until 1 second after the blue Kindle Fire logo appears), and it should launch TWRP or CWM if Hashcode's 2nd bootloader is flashed.

Try plugging the kindle into a wall outlet and leaving it overnight to charge. Perhaps a dead battery's causing your issue? (if that were the case, you would see a red battery logo every time you try to boot it.)

I'll give it a try.I also saw that it might be the bootloader but only thing is if I flash it I might brick my device since it'll shut off.

Unless you're planning on flashing a new bootloader, then you shouldn't worry too much about bricking - I'm fairly certain most ROM zips only wipe and modify /system and boot partitions (and maybe user partitions), so the bootloader remains intact and still permits you to reboot into fastboot in an emergency. However, I would also avoid flashing until the sudden power off issue is remediated.
When and how did this issue first appear, and have you been able to bypass it in any way?
I started having this problem after I flashed hashcode's new Lolipop build. This was when it was first released. Since then I haven't been able to bypass it in anyway.

Does your power button light up when charging? You may have a broken USB port.

The version I have doesn't have a power button that lights up when charging.

Whoops - I confused the 2nd gen KF with the HD 7". Try holding the power button down for about 10 seconds, then press it again to try to get it to boot normally.
Hi,
I can't get my tablet (G Pad 8.3) to turn on. It has TWRP recovery on it but there doesn't seem to be any life in the tablet to get into recovery.
I flashed fishears custom kernel and the tablet was working fine, I rebooted it and it started to loop and then just seemed to die on me.
I think I've tried download mode (both volume buttons) but can't get into that either.
I've tried the hold power button for 20 seconds then plug a charger in trick but nothing there either.
Before this happened the tablet had 50% battery so it wasn't really all that low.
Any ideas?
Thanks
hardbrick man, try fix http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/how-recovered-lg-g-pad-detected-t3207079
Hmm, I'm guessing my tablet has a hardware problem as it is not showing up at all in device manager.
I've got some tools coming tomorrow so I can open the tablet up, hoping a simple battery unplug might revive it! Hmm, I'm guessing my tablet has a hardware problem as it is not showing up at all in device manager.

Charge device all day, you try fix link up
I do not seem to be having any luck with this tablet. I re-installed the stock rom and now I am in an endless boot loop. The LG logo comes up and then the screen goes off then it comes back on again with the logo then off again. No amount of button pressing or sequences will load recovery.
I can't get the bloody thing in the download mode either. I'm holing both volume buttons then plugging in but it does nothing. I've tried volume up and power and nothing. Any ideas how can I sort this, as there is life in it it just won't respond to anything?
Thanks
