SImple CM9 will not charge, pls help - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have SImple CM9 installed on my KF. The battery is either died or dying. It wont charge via wall charge. And when I plug it in to the PC it boots to the unlock screen but will not unlock, then it restarts after 30secs or so. I am able to get it into TWRP and it stays on, The amber light stays on as well. Does this mean it is charging or is it part of TWRP. I have also tried KFU but it does not see the KF. I am afraid to unplug it from the PC, it may completely die. What do y'all recommend? Is there a why to restore to stock and send it back? Please help.

The answer is in the search bar. There's a ton of people with this problem already, search the forums for help. But just to be nice, CM9 has problems displaying the charge level while plugged in. Don't worry about the LED, it's misleading. Just plug it in for a few hours and wait PATIENTLY and it will charge, I almost promise

I am scared for my rooted kindle fire. Please help.

Okay so basically my Fire is rooted and currently running gedeRom latest ICS rom. It comes on to the blue kindle fire intro screen with the power button green NOT orange. It turns off by itself literally after two seconds. It won't charge via usb or the original wall plug. Let me clarify what I said last.... basically the power button doesn't light up at all when I try to charge my kindle fire. I can't access recovery or anything for that matter because it shuts off so fast when I try to turn it on. My battery did die before I can charge it, but as of right now the damn thing doesn't want to charge and I think it is fully charged at the moment regardless of whether it lit up or not. Every time my Fire is dead it shows that animation screen that tells you to charge it and not that blue intro screen. At this point I really need any assistance I can get and I am more than happy to upload a video of the fire or whatever because at this point I am absolutely clueless. The computer does not pick up on the Kindle Fire at all even when I try to turn it on and plug it in right after. Nothing happened to the device or I didn't try to install or flash anything. It simply just died from no battery left and now the damn thing is giving me more trouble than I have encountered previously. Please if anyone can help me or guide me through this I'd really appreciate it.
Your version of FFF should help prevent that. Have you tried leaving it plugged in with the stock wall charger for a few hours?
plug in to wall, this turns on kindle so then it goes in a power loop due to flat battery. the answer is, plug in to mains charger then hold power for over 20 seconds, this will turn off kindle but should leave it charging. next leave it overnight. ie. a good few hours
edit. the led is sometimes missleading, ignor.

Thanks guys that is exactly what I will do and I will report back if it worked or not. Once again I really do appreciate you guys taking out the time to assist me in this issue that has never happened before. At the moment I am currently working on a HTC flyer I just bought from a friend and now I have to find the HTC Scribe for cheap somewhere lol. Take care.
Still not working...
I can't access anything (Tried so many times to get into recovery or something that I lost count at this point) because it shuts off so fast. At this point I know for certain it is not a problem with the battery not being charged, but in the same breath I know for certain that I have never had a problem like this that was so extremely problematic. At this point I have lost all hope and think it is messed up even though it was working beautifully on Gederom's ICS rom before it fully died. I charged it for the whole night and now it won't show a charge light when I plug it in to the original KF wall charger or it won't link up or charge with my PC. It also won't turn on when I have it plugged in to the OEM wall charger and it doesn't light up when plugged in to charge. I do have an actual video of me with the device showing exactly what happens when I try to turn on. Just go to my youtube channel under the name fatjoejr2001 and watch the latest video I posted. If anyone can please help me get on track I would really really appreciate it and would be extremely grateful. Thanks
power it off and charge it via usb with your computer it will take some time so set your computer to not sleep while you charge
from whst you sre describing it acting like your battery is flat. (i know you say you used the stock charger) sorry to ask, but are you sure, does it say 1.8A on it?
can you use your charger on another phone etc (to test it).
the only other thing i can think of is your bootloader is screwed ie fff.
can you catch fastboot in the time its on?
type fastboot getvar in a terminal from where ever you have fastboot installed on your pc
it should say "waiting for device".
then switch on kindle. does it do anything in your terminal?
if its not the battery

Yes I am a 110% sure I am using the right charger and I cannot access recovery since it shuts down so fast. It doesn't show up on my PC when connected via USB and it won't turn on when either plugged in to wall charger or to my computer. I can't use Kindle Fire Utility or any such methods when the device will not function while connected to my Windows 7 desktop. I am just completely oblivious to what is going on because I have a htc flyer and Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and nothing like this has ever happened where I can't recover some how. What can I do at this point? From what I am hearing people think it may be the bootloader, but how do I go about fixing this when I can't even access anything on the Kindle fire????

I've tried and to no success. I charged it again last night and am currently charging it again with my PC, but I know for sure that isn't going to work and that is not what is causing this issue. My device was working fine till the battery fully drained and died. Now it is just non-functional. Maybe I didn't have the proper TRWP installed for ICS or the right bootloader?
ok if its dead you should try the fire kit
but it involves making a ubuntu flashdrive and booting with a script on the root of the flash drive, then taking off the back cover and shorting a pin out instide whilst inserting the usb cable. it sounds scary but its not too bad if you follow the instructions exactly.
(no shortcuts).
i will dig out the thread for you.

just take your tme and follow it.
if you need any help let me know where abouts you are in the process and what is going wrong.
this will work as it doesn't even need the battery connected.
it resets your partitions, reinstalls twrp &reinstalls fff.
hope this helps

HTC One X Suddenly won't turn on!

Hi guys!
I bought my new HTC One X on contract with three UK about 10 days ago. Been working great and I've flashed several different roms on it, the latest being the AOKP jelly bean.
I was in the middle of setting up my Go Launcher last night, when the phone suddenly died. I thought it must have just crashed following some rom/kernel issue, so I tried to turn it back on, no luck. Also tried holding the power button down but to no avail.
I supposed that it might have run out of battery, as it was fairly low at the time, so I left it charging on USB (with the indicator light flashing) all through the night (around 9 hours) and this morning it still won't turn on.
The screen won't come up at all, and the phone doesn't vibrate or make any noise but if I connect it to my computer it will sometimes be detected and I can see the device in ADB.
"adb devices" first shows the device as offline, then if I run "adb kill-server" and try again then it shows the device as "HT23YW105462 recovery".
I've then tried running commands such as "adb reboot", "adb reboot-bootloader", "adb reboot -p" but no luck. The phone seems to recognize the command as it disconnects, but it doesn't turn back on.
Any theories guys? I hope my new toy hasn't been bricked somehow! If this happened to my Desire HD I'd just take the battery out to make sure it was fully off and try again... is this a good idea here?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give! Many cookies will be given as reward. (sorry for the long post )
- P.s. This is pretty urgent as I use this number for work!
:victory:
Ok, it seems to have been resolved at last... just for anybody who gets the same issue, here's what worked for me.
After doing some more searching I found someone mentioning this method: Leave the phone plugged in to your USB port for a while until the orange LED flashes. Leave it flashing for a few minutes, then quickly swap the lead from your USB port to a wall charger. If you leave it unplugged too long then it seems the LED stops flashing and it won't work, so do it quickly.
If successful the LED will keep flashing while plugged into the wall, and it will start to charge up. Give it a while (I left mine for about 25 minutes) then try and turn it on. This worked for me, but even after this period of time it had only charged up to 2%!
:S This is an odd phone indeed.
Very strange resolution IMHO.
This problems must be caused by discharging the battery more than it should (which I guess custom ROMs can cause)

Very strange indeed... I tried pretty much everything I could before this, but this was the only thing to get the phone to boot. Charging and working fine now :S. I'll have to make sure to never run it flat if I can help it, this would be a right pain if it it happened while I was out
Just saved from similar issue
My battery run out last night when I had the phone connected to the tv through USB>HDMI when i put it on the charger the charging light would not switch on. Phone wouldnt switch on either it was really dead!. Left it all night hooked up to charger and this morning still nothing, wouldnt switch on.
So I Hooked it up to the PC and after 10 minutes or so the light started to flash and I quickly inserted the usb charging cable and it started to charge.
Pretty sure I either discharged the battery to much (did update to 7.2.2 yesterday with 30% bat), OR something to do with having the USB>HDMI cable inserted when the battery run out.
Odd but brought it back to life (phew!)

Hmm, seems like a pretty common fault. Maybe an app that cuts power to the phone when it reaches a critical limit might be a good idea... I noticed that most phones seem to turn themselves off before fully dead, whereas ours now seem to completely flatten themselves. At least if it shut down at 1% you could still turn it back on when you found a charger, and it could tell you why your screen was about to go black rather than "poof, gone".
Anybody know such an app? Or should I make one (been wanting to get my hands dirty)
wont turn on

Dead phone, help!

Well first it seems my phone is not able to charge anymore... (Not even with the .bat file it just loses power when I try that)
Some times it manages to retain some charge but it goes away really fast when the screen is on.
I have no time to flash the device due to the low battery and super fast battery drain.
The sd seems to fail randomly, some times it is recognized, some it is not.
When you plug the phone to the usb in a pc a message USB device could not be recognizes appears some times (not always).
Blinking red light some times, never goes to green, eventually goes to solid red but doesn't charge enough to flash it.
Could the battery problem be software based? Actually it has no OS, Andriod flashed, no boot and only recovery is cloclwork latest version.
Any suggestions here? Everything is appreciated since it may be dead... I want to test anything and well tell you what happened, at least use it for science =P
Go into recovery and charge from the mains with the original charger.
What happens?

I'm trying to charge it and now using the .bat method but it won't go over 3565mV which is not enough to flash it. =S Dunno if letting it connected charges even if there is no notification at all.
And I've tried that and after turning it on and checking it never goes above 3.5 and I read I needed at least 3.68, what can I do? reset battery stats? or something else? Can I charge the battery directly? like with some cables?
And also, the red led doesn't turn on. If I plug it toa pc it sounds like an usb is connected, but no led light. What can I do then?

I had the exact same prob. Change the USB Cable and/or the PC u are using. Mine was stuck at 3588mV. The cable of the SGS2 did the trick for me. It was my friend's!

That's an interesting option I'm gonna try it, but I think it may not work because I tried to charge it at work with 3 different cables and chargers and no luck still. Buy maybe it was just the fact that between the time I charged it at work and got home it discharged, I'm trying this tonight and tell you what happens.
No luck still, stuck at 3557mV and won't let me flash it.
Sometimes the phone even freezes in fastboot after some command tried.
How can I charge it then?

[Q] Problems charging/holding a charge/can't boot

Having massive issues right now. Last night I left my phone plugged in AC to charge and ran a sleep tracker app. Woke up this morning and found the phone dead. I tried unplugging and plugging again multiple times and managed to get the Red LED blinking then it went steady indicating it was charging. Turned the phone on but as if it wasn't charging anymore, it powered off within minutes. I managed to get recovery running and factory reset (running CM10). Same issue still there. I even tried leaving the phone in hboot and recovery to charge but after 10 mins the battery went flat again. Now I've just left the phone off and plugged into AC. The blinking LED came on again then went steady - but after 15 mins the LED light disappears. I just left it like that, now the phone tries to boot up but gets stuck at HTC logo. Also it is incredibly hot.
Any ideas? Really need help here.
Additional info, installed NFS: Most Wanted yesterday, tried playing but phone really overheated big time. Could that have cause the motherboard to fry? Just seems odd though cause it boots up fine, just won't stay on - can't even get past the initial setup wizard.
Also I would take it back to Vodafone AU but since I can't get the phone up long enough to restore to stock, they might find out I've rooted and thus voiding my warranty.
I had the same problem. I installed NFS MW and it drained my battery like help and when i tried recharging it it wouldnt charge
at all. Even when i pluged the phone on it wouldnt charge. Tried a different cable. For all it could be a adapter/cable problem.
That was what it was for me. I tried a different charger and it worked. If you are using a different charger, use something with 1A output.
If the led is blinking, it means that the battery is verryy low.
once your phone turns on, turn the airplane mode ON and display OFF and wait a few minutes before using the phone.
no luck

Yea, I tried using a different cable, even tried using my old iPod USB to wall adapter. No luck there, but I think I'm on to something now. Thanks anyway
getting there

Hey, yea I figured that much from searching around. Too bad it's such a big flaw. I couldn't sustain a charge at all when I was still on CM10. Couldn't even finish booting up and it would just die. Voltage was super low was my guess. Tried using the fastboot charging script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084&page=5) and managed to get battery up enough to flash stock boot.img, did a nandroid restore to Stock ROM then flashed stock recovery. Seems to be stable now, in airplane mode and display off. Started up phone at 4% and now it's at 6% so fingers crossed :fingers-crossed: Thanks for the reply though - needing all the tips I can get!

Note 2 not charging after flashing back to stock Rom with Odin

I have been using Cyanogenmod for a while, and after installing a series of buggy nightlies, I decided to flash it back to stock. However, once I did that, I am now unable to charge my phone. Now when I open Odin and put the phone in download mode and connect the phone it recognizes the phone and let me reflash it. However, the phone is not being recognized otherwise by the computer and hence it is not charging via computer as well (It is only being recognized by Odin when in download mode)
The only time I was able to charge it post stock flashing was just after I flashed it, but that's just once. It wont let me charge again. I flashed it again, the same thing happened, it let me charge for the first time post flash, but not more than that.
It also charged a second time post flashing when I left it plugged in to the wall charger overnight. When I plugged it in, it did not show any sign of being charged or any LED indication as well, but when I woke up in the morning it showed my battery had 100% (without the thunder sign on the battery icon, I removed and plugged it back in, it did not charge again, i swithced off and tried charging again, it showed the charging sign for a while with green filled battery tumbler and glowing dots but it stopped after a while)
Sometimes, when I plug the charger in, the LED glows, but the battery icon in the notification does not show a thunder sign of charging, however when I open the battery details, it shows the battery as charging, but in reality, the battery simply drains. This too happens only sometimes not every time when I plug the charger in
I have tried various chargers and USB cables
Kindly reply if anyone has any solution
There seems to be a charging bug with all JB bootloaders for Note 2. Latest knoxed KitKat bootloaders have the fix.
