[Q] Nexus doesn't get power anymore when on

Hi guys,
Since yesterday my Gnex doesn't get power from the adapter anymore when it's turned on. Only if I shut it down, it will get power.
Also when I connect it to the computer, it says: "device is not recognized".
Can anyone help me?

i don't know, your phone is dying?
those of us who have never experienced that particular behaviour, we need something more.
please provide more information; ac/usb charging or both? other charger/cable? running stock, stock+custom kernel, custom rom? list the apps you have installed. fastcharge y/n? if you turn it on after it begins to charge, does it keep charging? have you tried another battery? how do the pins/usb port on the device look: dirty, bent, any kind of damage?

Before thiis happened, I didnt change much things at my nexus. I use AndroidHD rom for quite a while now, and didnt install any new apps.
I tried several chargers but nothing is working. Only of its off, but even then it says its charging but thats not the case all the time.

reflash stock images if you want, relock bootloader, turn it in for warranty, if you checked usb port state.

I know it's obvious, but have you tried a different cable? My stock cable needs to be wiggled just right to charge now, but my nexus 7 cable or any other cable works fine

The problem is that my pc doesn't recognize the phone as a usb-device anymore, so it will be hard to change it back to stock and locked bootloader. Or do you think there is a way? I would like to here it
I also tried different chargers, but it doesn't change anything unfortunately.
Thnx for trying to help guys, it's appreciated.

I've looked at the post, re-locked the bootloader --> that worked.
Now I want to download the ODIN.tar files for de Odin Mobile app, but I can only find the .tar files voor Verizon models.. I however have a GSM model from a Dutch carrier.
Do you have a link for ODIN.tar file(s) for the GSM version of the GNex?

Mine just started doing this as well.

You're not on your own. I'm having the exact same problem with my Galaxy Nexus. since a couple of days.
Only way I can charge it is by turning the device off. Then while its rebooting plugging it in.
I also have the 3 dot connect docking station. Same problem with that way of charging... So I know it is not the USB thats faulty.
My device is rooted. with superuser permission. no special rom. only a different launcher,
never had any problems with it. and I did not change anything in my phone for 2 weeks.
I have no clue how to relock my bootloader without USB.
Casparovic i have a GSM model too. also from a Dutch carrier Vodafone.
Ill try Jubakuba his guide.

Well, I relocked the bootloader (without usb), but it's still not charging when turned on.
I can't figure out what it is. Also i can't send it to the carrier because it's rooted.
Can someone tell me how to go further?

I have the same issues, I just bought 3 spare batteries, and only 2 of them work on my Nexus. So basically I switch between the original battery and the extra battery I bought and charge them with wireless chargers. Very inconvenient, I hate samsungs absolute garbage quality, never again.... 6 years of a loyal HTC customer, guess this is what I get lol

Having the exact same problem. It won't charge when connected to the AC adapter as well as through USB. Computer doesn't always recognize it either.
It does charge however with my rocketfish car adapter and a BlackBerry ac adapter.
Not sure if this could related to the OS, currently running Cm10 v1.7. Or is it something else?

I have had the same problem running Jellybro and AOKP.
Only way to fix it for me was to go back to stock and wipe everything on the internal storage. Then unlock, root etc.. all the way back to whatever nightly I was running and put all my apps and data back on.
This has happened 3 times now in the past 2 months. I really panicked the first time!!
Also, sometimes I have had an issue with it showing that it was charging when nothing was plugged in! Same method to fix... oh well, the price for being a rom flash addict...

Mine randomly started working again. I've been on cm10 nightlies since they started, never changed the kernel. I also have 2 Hyperion 3800mah batteries and the stick battery. Everything charges like normal now.

Well I haven't been able to unroot my phone so I thought it just take my phone to my carrier and get it Fixed,

I Think I Bricked My Phone.. Any Advice?

Hey guys . I Picked up a three month old galaxy this morning. I have had problems rooting before but always managed to fix them but this I cannot figure out. Here is exactly what I did and what happened.
1.First I rooted my phone using GalaxyS3RootUSCanadaMac.
2. Downloaded the following, superuser, ezunlock, and rom manager.
3. Flashed clokworkrecovery through rom manager.
4. Unlocked the bootloader with ezunlock
5. Tried to reboot into recovery via clockwork and it would just hang and never reboot.
6. Decided to do a restart , so I clicked power on the right hand side and selected restart.
7. Fell asleep and woke up to a dead phone.
I cannot get it to boot at all , not even in download mode. I get no lights or vibrations when trying to boot. If I remove the battery and hook the usb cord in I get a red light at the top but not with the battery in.
Any info on what I might have done wrong or what I can try to do to fix it would be great.
Thanks in advance guys.

This is completely inapplicable to the i747m, and the reason your phone's bricked.
Unless you can somehow get into download mode, you're going to need a JTAG to recover it.

Any suggestions n how to get into download mode? Also I have a usb JTAG from programming cable boxes but Im not sure if it will work?

I believe I read about someone else who used this. The unlocker is made for the Verizon variant. You will need JTAG service to get your phone up and running.

Looks like Samsung has come through and is going to warranty it. It was repaired today by having the board replaced. Hopefully I will have it back next week.

[Q] Kindle Bricked

My mother got my niece a Kindle fire 2 for Christmas. I wanted to root it and turn it into a android based device. I rooted it successfully but when I tried to get it into recovery it just shutdown on me. I got to the screen with the triangle and whatever I forgot but after, it just won't come on.
I am an experience person at rooting/flashing devices I just didn't really realize it was a kindle fire 2 ( I really don't keep up with kindle products). I ordered as factory usb cable which was almost a month ago, but when I do get this cable how do I get my niece kindle to boot back up or can it be done without that cable.
Thanks for the help in advance.

I haven't done it myself, but you should be able to get into fastball mode and then push certain partitions back onto the KF 2. There is a thread for restoring a device in this forum, which may help if you didn't backup the partitions as soon as you rooted.

I'm in exactly the same boat as you OP, but I've gotten a factory cable. Not that it really helped though, fastboot doesn't find my device when plugged in with the factory cable. I suspect it's a driver issue, but I can't fix that right now as I'm away from my normal computer.
Also, someone advised me in a different thread to take off the back cover and short the USB, just like you would with a bricked KF1. That didn't work either.
I'm going to put some more time into fixing my device after this weekend.

Ok so i order my factory cable almost been a month now. I got really tired of waiting on it.
So last night i decided to make my own factory cable. The instructions looked simple, connect a wire from pin 1 to pin 4. I did that and my device was still not going into fastboot. Is there some type of program that i am suppose to use with the factory cable. If no programs then maybe i didnt build the cable right.
Then I will just have to wait till I recieve my factory boot cable and try again.

i dont no if this will work for you guys but i got out of a boot loop caused by me freezing the home launcher.Like you my kindle couldn't be seen by adb so after hours of messing about i downloaded super one click root using this programe to install the drivers i then did adb devices and it was back online.So from there i used the KFU to root as this boots the KF to that screen which askes you to save or not save but from that screen i was able to pull down the notifications bar and go to more from there i could hit the star button and get to silk i downloaded titanium backup and unfroze the home launcher rebooted and my kindle was back alive.Just one thing to note after doing this my kf couldnt be seen by the pc as a mass storage device you need to uninstall the drivers super one click installed and all is well hope this helps.

Where did you get the cable? I would check out Skorpn. He makes them here at XDA and is really good about quality and shipping. If you live in the US it shouldn't take more than a week I assume to get the cable. Ordering one from him after work

so is skorpn a user or a website, if he is a user give me his contact info
updated: no website

Here, he is a user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=500006
I got my factory cable from him, took 9 days to be shipped over here in the Netherlands. Would really recommend.

I been trying to make this factory fastboot cable for days now. Do I suppose to modify a motorola usb cable because right now I am using a samsung usb cable. I know my soldering aint that bad, never had any problems soldering anything else.
Any help, I will be greatly thankful.

Mmm not very knowledgeable on this topic, but I succesfully built my own fastboot cable yesterday evening and, from what I understood, just any usb cable would do. I mean, provided it has a usb plug on one side and a micro-usb on the other
I just took the first cable that came to my hand, carefully cut open the micro-usb plug, and soldered points 1 and 4 visible on the enclosed image (upper figure, and do not link 4 and 5 as is displayed, I think this is for OTG). It was a work of patience as the plug was really small, but I finally managed it!
Good luck with yours!

Finally got my factory cable and guess what. Kindle still won't come on or even go into fastboot. I believe the one I made was a good one.
Question is still in the air, is there some kind of software i suppose to run for fastboot to work or does the kindle suppose to go into fastboot as soon as I plug it into the pc.

It is supposed to boot up when connected to comp and kf.do u think battery is dead? When u say wont come on do you mean screen backlight wont even turn on. If not then try turning off kf plug fb cable into comp then plug into kf. It should boot into fb mode. Also your cable might not be made well(just a suggestion)

I had the same behaviour (or lack of behaviour :/) with my first kf2, on which I had tried to install the KF1 boot - yeah I know, you never read enough before flashing
No reply at all, either with normal usb, charger, or selfmade fastboot cable (tested on my new kf2)...
The thing is as soon as I saw it was bricked, I called Amazon for a solution ("don't know what happened, yesterday evening all was ok, this morning it wouldn't boot"). They asked me to perform a few tests (basically let it charge for 2 hours and try to boot again), and when I called back they just started the replacement procedure: I had a new item within 3 days, and 1 month to send the first back (carriage paid).
I just sent the first one back, so maybe they'll investigate and charge me, but honestly I doubt they'd give a damn

I'm in _exactly_ the same situation. I'm going to try sending Amazon an e-mail about it, although the device was gifted to me from the US and I live in The Netherlands.

Hard bricked

So...
The device wouldn't turn on. I'm assuming it's hard bricked. Just got it like 2 months ago. Any ideas what I should do?
Thanks

If you didn't mod it just claim your warranty from Samsung.
Did you try plugging it in to the original charger for a few hours? Which device are you even talking about, those tabs are slightly different from each other

Please say what device you have and what steps you performed before it got in this state.

Not sure what Tab u have like others have said but when I had the 8.9 via AT&T I did something wrong when flashing after rooting. My tab would not come on either. I plugged it into an outlet and into the computer but nothing happened. I contacted Samsung and sent it in and they repaired it at no cost to me.

You will need to provide a bit more detail.
1. Did you mod it in any way at all? Root, custom recovery, etc.
2. Was it physically dropped?
3. Was the battery charged correctly? Via cable plugged to wall, not via usb to PC
4. Any strange behaviour prior to latest shutdown?
The answers to these will likely hold the solution to your problem, friend.

Any chances of somehow restoring the firmware?

Do you use power adaptor or it is plugged into TV USB port? If not try to pug into the wall adaptor and see if this works, for some reason mine did the same thing after updated to 5.0.5.
BTW a lot of people bricked their units by trying to remove kingroot with superSU-me. There are few posts here that you should had read before you use superSU.

Problem is even if rbox releases an unbrick image as he did for firetv2 is no way to connect firestick to a computer as its mini USB port is not initialized/active on these units (at least that was the case with OS3). I wish I could help you more.....

Well then I guess i'll just wait couple days and hit up amazon. And then wait for some good tutorials with no bricks
