I've been having some troubles with my Optimus g. For starters, today it's been awfully laggy. On top of that its been freezing and booting into a yellow HW error screen. And when it's been freezing it sometimes just makes the screen freak out and get all scan lined. Now my phone won't boot. It appears it won't even charge. I have it plugged in and it does nothing. The most I can make it do right now is if I hold the power button while its plugged in, after about 20 seconds the red led will start flashing. Doesn't do anything past that. Is there any thing I can do to save this phone??

Try what's listed in this thread about dead batteries. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43983721
If you have Twrp installed, try and flash a stock ROM.

I am having troubles booting my phone after the battery depletes and the phone shuts off. My Optimus G is rooted with lifeless Rom v14 and I have TWRP recovery.
So once the phone dies, I plug it in to charge, and the phone screen automaticaly comes on and the LG logo flashes for a second, but nothing happens. The phone doesn't actually charge. If I remove the phone from the charger, the display still stays on until I hard reset it. I cannot access recovery mode or download mode for some reason. Usually when my phone dies, and I plug it in, it will flash the LG logo, keep the display on for a few seconds, and then shut down and restart and show the battery logo charging. I am not getting that this time, and I can't seem to do anything to get it operating again. There also isn't a red LED light to represent charging either. If anyone has had this issue before or knows how to fix it, I'd really appreciate the information right now.
Thanks

That actually just happened to me too
All I did was unplug the phone, hold the power button until the screen turns off, and power up the phone. I do think the phone may need to plugged in for a bit after it does before it will boot. Hope you find a solution.

I had to use LGNPST and teenybin to get anywhere. I got the program all setup and after trial and error, I fixed the problem, only to be found with another problem. Now my phone doesn't seem to want to charge. It will go to the charging screen and everything, but the red pulsing LED isn't on like it used to be, and it doesn't seem like it really is charging. on TWRP, the battery percentage doesn't even show, except until recently it started showing, and then it disapears because it has no power. Any help?!

I recently installed Alien Droid for kf2 on my kf2 and everything was going smoothly so I doubt it was that, but I woke up this morning to a kindle fire that wouldn't turn on at all, the screen doesn't flash or anything and it just stays blank. I've done the hard reset where you hold power button for 20 seconds and still nothing. The battery indicator light comes on when I plug it in and it will turn off when I do the hard rest. Could this have anything to do with maybe the battery dying overnight?
While it's plugged in to the computer (given time to boot normally), are you able to communicate with the device via adb?
Nope, I've also left it to charge for about six hours. Now when I try to press power button it flashes green but the screen does nothing

I would suggest checking to see if it can be detected by Linux (lsusb). If not, your last available option may be to try and usbboot. I can't imagine what would cause the device to act such a way, but guess it's still remotely possible that the bootloader or bootloader partition got corrupted.
Hopefully, you're not looking at a bad eMMC.
I have a suggestion that your kindle has a bsod (black screen of death) hold the power button for 20 sec. and then press it another 3 sec. hopfuly i am right and your kindle will turn on. have this bsods 1-2 times per day.
It absolutely sounds out of power.
I know when my kindle isn't charged the light blinks like that. Maybe if the above suggestions don't work.. Try another charger

I just realized you have a kf2 and not a kf1, so usbboot is obviously not an option for you. Disregard my previous statement.
You' already tried the hard shutdown and you say you've let it charge, but have you tried letting it charge while completely powered down?
Outside of that, I wish I had a better suggestion for you. It's definitely an odd situation.
Hello, last night as I was sleeping, I noticed my phone randomly rebooted. Thinking it was because of a kernel issue, I ignored it. I woke up, left my house, and another reboot. Half an hour later, constant reboots; boots up, goes to the lock screen, reboots, etc. I came home today, my pc does not recognize any phone connected. When I plug into the wall, I get a red notification light for a few seconds, then the light dies. During the constant reboots, I could go into download mode, but after a few seconds, it reboots. I never was able to get past the Samsung boot logo after recovery mode. I unplugged battery and replugged, nothing.
I was on rooted Jellybam 4.2.2, Ktoonsez kernel. I cannot remember the last time I flashed anything, but it was atleast a few months.
My microsd also died a few days ago.
Life sucks; any comments?
EDIT:
on second note, I just replugged battery and quickly went to download mode, and it lit up, then died after a second or two.
For some reason, when I put in my battery, the phone turns on.. I thought it only does that if the phone was uncharged for a few moments..
Could my internal sdcard be fried?
You don't have a brick if your phone still turns on.
Check to make sure the battery is good
And also check and make sure the power button isn't stuck.....
Those have been the culprits for many "bricks" for a while now.

I switched the battery with a back up, same problem.
How do i make sure the power button isnt stuck..? It clicks when I press it.
EDIT:
I just took the phone apart and freed the power button so the display and the motherboard are laying side to side with only the display connected to the motherboard.
The phone still turns on automatically when i plug in the battery.

I think it might be the power button thats some how stuck, but I cant figure out why.
I opened the phone and everything seems fine..
I spam pressed the power button out of boredom and my galaxy booted up fine, then died again.
EDIT: wow, i kept spamming the power button and now it boots up fine..
please delete this thread
I have a bricked Xperia Ion that would boot loop on sony logo without being recognized by my computer and as far as I tried, I cant get it to flashmode. It's a Kernel issue because when my phone exits low charging mode, it just bootloops again until the battery drains itself.
It's a lt28at, so my bootloader is locked. Here where I live (venezuela) is difficult to find the apropiate tools to take apart my phone and unplug the battery from the mainboard, but i had already tried hard reseting my phone twice, leaving it to charge and then as soon the red led dissapears, I prepare flashtool with my firmware and connect it keeping the down volume key pressed with no luck.
I*ll keep trying, everybody says my phone is impossible to brick due to the locked bootloader but I have a question that needs to be answered:
Hard reseting the phone does the same effect than taking my batery apart and leave the phone 10-15 to reset itself?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
No the hard reset is not the same. For some reason the device will freak out causing this issue. Taking the device apart and unplug the battery is the best way to get your phone running again. It takes allot less time and is not hard to do with a bit of mechanical knowledge. If you want to try the other way then listen careful. When you do the reset with power and volume there is actually three phases. We know about the one buzz and three buzz. If you have payed attention while doing it you may have noticed that just before the first buzz the screen will bleed out and shut off. If you do that after it starts to loop from charging it should then allow you to plug it in to the computer in flash mode.
Keep in mind if it does buzz you will most likely have to start over. So as soon as you see it let go of the buttons. Hope it helps.
Ok, so I get the first buzz, then immediately i left the up button to press the down button while connecting to pc with flashmode ready? I don't know what i'm doing wrong, because it just starts to loop again.
Try reinstalling your Flash tool & the drivers of your device is might help you to detect flashboot

No you can not let it buzz. You must let go as soon as you see the screen start to bleed out. It does this just before the first buzz. Again if you watch it while holding the buttons the screen will start to shut off. As soon as you see it you must let go of the buttons. If you do it right it will shut off and then you can try to connect it with flash mode. Also before you set up your flash make sure the device connects and loads the flash driver. Then you can flash your file.

I'm new to the Ion, so I don't understand this thing about the one buzz and three buzzes... can you explain what this means?

The newer Sony devices have a reset function seeing as most have internal battery's. By holding the power and volume + keys it will do one of three things.
1 After about three seconds the screen will go off almost like it bleeds out. This is force shut off.
2 If you keep holding the buttons it will buzz once. This is force reboot.
3 If you continue to hold them it will buzz three times. This is a force reset. Almost like a battery pull type situation.
Thanks so much.
With a stock kernel, how reliable is this?

This is hardware integrated function.. Even if you flash any other kernel.. This function still remains the same.

Hello. My G3 has a really annoying and serious issue. It simply is turning off at random moments and booting into a boot loop. Say I am typing a text or watching a video, BOOM. It shuts off, as soon as it's off it boots back up into the FIRST lg boot screen (before the animated boot logo on any rom) if I am lucky it gets past this and into the animated screen. But usually it boots into this screen, shuts off, boots into this screen, shuts off about 16 times before, maybe, just maybe booting up. But it qill even shut off on the animated screen too. It sometimes takes a good 15 minutes to get it to finally boot. (Almost like a car not starting). I have tried multiple wipes and reflashes of the stock KDZ. Nothing is fixing it. I am certain it is a hardware issue, but more specifically the battery. Any input? Thanks!
Here is a video to show what I am explaining, it can happen anywhere at any time.

Certainly does sound like hardware issue if after flashing stock kdz and doing the necessary wipes, out of curiosity does your phone get very hot at all. I mean it could possibly be the battery, have you noticed it draining very quickly or not charging correctly?

Nope. Battery life is as it always has been and the phone isn't overheating. I am very confused haha

Forgot to mention. Every time this happens, the lock screen wallpaper gets reset to stock. Seems like some kind of forced power cycle which ends up wiping data.
