So I have had this device since February and finally decided I wanted to Unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and get some cool new roms on it. I have the GPE by the way.
Anyways so I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP and then rooted the device by flashing a zip file for root. I assumed the tablet got rooted so I then decided to try the multi window hack and flashed that. Well it caused some apps to corrupt (the phone app in particular) and they would keep crashing preventing me from doing anything. I decided to go back into recovery and try to do a data and cache wipe but that did not help. Eventually I wiped the entire OS which was a mistake. I was still able to get into recovery mode but I have no SD card to load up with a rom to flash and it was late to go buy one. I also tried ADB through the recovery mode that did not seem to work.
I did some searching and found out that I could download the LGMlauncher and it could get me back to stock but to use that I needed my serial number which is on the box (which I had at the office). So I plugged it in (and got the little battery icon) and a few hours ago went to the office to get the box. I tried the LGMlauncher and it keeps on crashing while trying to update and now I am not able to get into recovery mode. What are some other steps I can take to try and recover it?
Thanks.
Edit: I tried the LGMlauncher again and it said my battery was low so I plugged it back in. is there a trick to charging it while it is off? I assume that could be why recovery mode wont work.
Hi, if you have twrp recovery and it is working you can install your missing system by following this post

Yeah It appears as though the battery was not charging even though I had plugged it in and now it is dead. I cannot seem to get it to go into recovery or anything. Is it safe to say it is bricked?
When my HP Touchpads battery was to low to take a charge from the wall charger, the only way it could get enough charge to be able to use the wall charger was to trickle charge it from my computer usb port for a couple of days.

Hey there. I've just recently screwed up my phone. (E4GT) Earlier today I was out and about and haven't been home to charge my phone. My battery died. I got home, plugged it up and got a blue flashing light, that flashed every 4 seconds. I figured it could be a battery problem. I left it there to attempt to charge for about an hour and was eventually able to turn it on.
I was planning on taking it to best buy tomorrow to get another battery. So, I powered off my device, loaded download mode and plugged my phone into the USB port of my laptop. My laptop wouldn't recognize my device. I began trying every USB port on my laptop and got nothing. I also tried my desktop and got nothing. I even re-installed drivers and no avail.
I figured I'd go into recovery and do a full wipe and reflash my ROM. (CM9) Incase you are wondering, I am using chris41g Safe CWM6. I have successfully flashed 3 ROMs using his kernel/recovery. I after I reflashed, I got bootlooped. I pulled battery after about 15 min. and tried powering on again. This time I got stuck at splash screen and it didn't go any further. I pulled battery again after about 15 min. and tried going into recovery, and I couldn't get into recovery. I can into download mode but my laptop and my desktop can't recognize my device. So now I'm stuck at splash screen. I've tried everything I possibly could have tried. I tried ODIN, Recovery, ADB, and I can't get anywhere.
Think I bricked?
I don't think you are bricked, at least not hard bricked "phone turns on but only blue light flashes once" is a hard brick. It sounds like things got weird when the phone discharged. Possible a kernal bug? Have tried any of the one clicks to ff18 or el29 or something? Because if your phone can get into download mode , you're technically not bricked.

Phone won't recognize Laptop or Desktop at all. Even after I reinstalled drivers. Even tried my roommates laptop. Got nothing.
I had the SAME problem on CM9 I was running it for weeks flawlessly then all of the sudden my comp stopped recognizing it. I thought my usb port went bad but I ended up just flashing a different rom, Super nova rom actually and it was back to working flawlessly. If you cant connect the phone to pc to transfer a file to the sd card try using another device like a digital camera or something to transfer the rom. Then flash. That fixed me right up.Damn I didnt realize you said you can no longer get into recovery. Have you tried maually getting into recovery? Power + volume up when phone is off? Try every way you can.
What RB said. You should put everything you need on external SD. If you do not have an SD card reader (so you can read/write to it on a PC), you should get one!

I fixed my problem. I went out and bought another cord for USB port. Guessing all 5 my cords are faulty! Phone is working again now. I restored back to EL29. Just did the OTA to ICS again too. Now I just need to get a new battery.
RB, I've been running CM9 Alpha 6 for about 6-7 days and my phone JUST started to act up. I had the same thing as you but the only thing was I couldn't get into the recovery. Only download mode. Atleast I fixed her.
Mod can close this.
is there any cwm i could install to my rooted s2 through stock recovery?
CWM is a custom recovery. You can install it from your computer. What OS are you running on you computer?
i know bro but the usb port doesnt work when it boots up its all black it only shows the status bar.

The USB doesn't work on your phone?
nope i bought it for 10 dollars from some hobo all i know is that its rooted it worked fine when i got it except for the usb i rooted it and tried installing cwm with an app called lte2/l1m recovery touch and it didnt work it messed it up.
@dgo700 So I assume you have an external battery charger then?
i charge the battery with another phone i guess i might need to get a new usb battery to bring it back to life.

@dgo700 yeah, probably. If anything goes wrong, it takes a USB port to return it to stock.
I'd fix the port. You will surely be needing it.
I'm not up on current temp root apps for the S2, but if you could gain temp root with something... You could use flashify to flash CWM.... No pc required.
Sorry guys, noob here.
Started with the USB not being promptly recognized by my PC, but after some reconnections it worked.
So, one day ago, I installed TWRP via heimdall suite and flashed the last stable Cyanogenmod 12.1 for GT-N5100, following all the instructions. For my surprise, the tablet doesn't charge with any type of source. Tried lots of cables and adapters and nothing.
I returned to stock ROM, 4.4.2, but the same problem remains.
What I found is that somehow it start recharging when plugged for some time, but only some few %, and the tablet is readily recognized via USB when on download mode. So, it's not a hardware issue.
Someone, please help me.

I think you have system corruption from kernels. I have experienced various issues around power with the note 8.0... all of which were from various kernel loads effecting low level device operation. Unfortunately there is no reset button or easy access to clean out the corruption.
You can remove the battery connection and wait a few minutes. Then connect and go into download mode and flash a stock rom. Then boot to setup and finalize your installation. Check and see if it will charge and properly function with power off and reboot options from the power menu.
If so flash a recovery, and wipe completly and flash your ROM of choice. If you choose a custom kernel outside of the ROM package, that may be done on top of the ROM load, to assist in a clean and trouble free ROM install.

Tried exactly what you said: Opened it, removed the battery for a while, flashed the stock rom via Odin and factory reseted. Nothing changes.
Doesn't charge anyway. It's recognized when in download mode, though.
With 16% battery right now. If it drop to 0%, that means gameover? Or can i charge while on download mode (odin mode)?
Can't I flash TWRP and then install a custom kernel from there?
Thanks, dude.
I use Philz Recovery, as had issues with TWRP long ago and gave up once I tried Philz.
I would have done a full wipe and reset in philz.
You can charge in Philz and in Download mode, once you are able to get the phone to reset the power mode by the kernel flash.
One thing I think may be your issue... the USB connector may be bad. All you need is the voltage pin to go bad. Data will operate without voltage for powering the device.
Removing the USB board and lightly compress the top and bottom of the connectors frame, so that your cable end fits snug. Had to do that a few years ago when a cable end stretched it out after a few uses. Did not go back to using it again once I corrected the fit issue.

Tried also, without response.
It really doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
Right now I plugged into the charger and there you go: Charging!!
I don't know what I did different, but it's working, at least for a while. Probably it will not fully charge, but ok.
I remembered that, prior to flashing TWRP+CM12.1, I got constant pop-ups about Power Sharing. Reading some forums, some guys experienced the same problem with this feature and them their phones stopped charging. Some reported that a factory reset solved, which is not my case.
I will keep posting what I did and if I find something that solves, it may help someone who's stuck with the same error.
Anyway, thanks so much, gooberdude.
(And sorry for my lame grammar.. writing is much harder than reading and listening english)

Hello
My N5100 faces the same problem of charging as this thread.
Could you put in details about your status of N5100
- Your regional model: Ex: EU, America, Asia....?
- Your Tab is working fine until today, doesnt it?
- If it's working fine , what was ROM you are using currently?
- What did Recovery you use to flash ROM?
Thank you so much
Hello my tab has a charging problem too it started with not being recognised when I plug to my computer. When I plug to a power source it charges sometimes other times it just doesn't and I'm certain the charger isn't the problem
Well hello everyone i got a nearly new note 7 n930f with its box and all for about 130$ but the owner had let it update and now it only works while plugged to a charger, i tried getting into download mode while on charger but nothing happened just a black screen and sometimes it just boots up guess because the battery is at 0%.. i own a repair shop and i have a z3x box if nessecary.. i thought of opening it and charge the battery separatly or use s7 one but i really don't want to lose water resistance. But since i can get to use the phone i thought maybe i can root it using kingroot or sth and get system file and modify something so i can charge it a bit to get into download mode to flash twrp and costume rom but i'm not that good with sys files or mobile odin to downgrade to 30% battery firmware or sth.. i'm really stuck and i contacted samsung and they didn't want to take it back since it's purchased from another country (in europe)
Please anyone who has any solution help me.. i really love this phone and it was my dream phone when it launched
I did it guys, although no one has replied xD!.. after a lot of research, the way was to power on phone while on charger, check oem unluck then power off, plug usb into pc and do the download mode sequence 5 times with 3sec-1sec interval then flashed twrp and flash hydra kernel, it let it charge to 60%, after that anything can be done.. i'm on note fe oreo port btw!

I could turn on the phone only with original charger and waiting for about a minute then by going to recovery mode then select "reboot phone".. it boots up then go to developer mode and check oem unlock and flash twrp and no verity opt then hydra rom or something
I'm having similar problems, but mine won't go let me into the recovery menu. Does anyone have any useful tips for me? Can anyone elaborate on the concept of the 3-1 second thing? thanks in advance for all the help!
ok, so here's what's going on:
Google nexus 2013 wont start up. It was previously Dead Dead, but its been charging, so it can start up now. However, i shuts down when i take it off the charger, but thats bc its not fully charged yet.
now for the real issue:
It seriously wont start up, it gets to the google logo, but it just shuts right back off after that. and sometimes, when i power it on, the google logo flashes on screen for less than a second, and then shut off immediately afterward, and i can't get to the bootloader when that happens.
when i AM able to get into the bootloader, i've tried everything. i wasn't going to factory reset, but when all failed, i tried it. But even THEN it didn't work. instead of bringing me to the next page, it just shut off again. can I get some help pls? (BTW it isn't charging with the cable it came with, its charging with a samsung j7 charger, but i made sure that its working)
If it turns on at all, then it isn't completely broken I believe. Have you tried the re-stock method shown in the forum? You just run the .bat file inside it and it'll flash you back to the latest stock firmware. It is supposed to fix any soft-brick issue.

How? i can't get it to connect to my pc via USB because USB debugging is off. I also need to get the official nexus 7 charger because it's not charging at all and i can't get it on.
Ah, you didn't mention usb debugging wasn't enabled... Hopefully someone will be along asap with a better solution

You don't need official charger. Any is suitable.
Any microusb in good working order should work. Check the charging port is free of lint and other dirt so the connection is good. Is the device showing that it is charging? Even off it should show that it is taking a charge. If not, and you are certain the charger is in good condition and seated properly then it may be a faulty or failed battery. I know mine is going, just won't hold a charge very long. If you can get into the bootloader, you can fastboot the factory packages regardless of adb debugging being enabled. You just can't flash non signed images unless you are bootloader unlocked. If you can boot into bootloader then fastboot back to stock would be my suggestion to start.
