[GUIDE] Fix 'dead' battery bug on Moto G (ANY model) - Moto G General

Hello everyone, today I had an odd experience with my Moto G XT1039 where it was stuck on the battery screen (red battery saying 0% with white space around it).
After leaving this on charge for a whole hour nothing was happening so I was thinking about taking it back to Argos and trying for a replacement, then however I read something from : Moto Blogspot and the instructions from one of the users commenting worked perfectly.
For your convenience I will post the instructions below (Thank you to Pierre M from Google Plus):
1) Plug it into the charger
2) Hold the VOLUME DOWN KEY
3) While still holding the VOLUME DOWN key, press and hold the POWER key
4) Hold both keys down for 120(+) seconds. This being two minutes or more may seem like a long time, you might want to time yourself to make sure you hold it longer than two minutes. (I know two minutes seems like a loooong time but it works..)
5) After holding the keys down for more than two minutes, release them.
6) The Fastboot (bootloader) screen will display, and the Normal Reboot option will be highlighted (image of what this should look like is below)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7) Press the VOL UP key and the device will start a normal reboot.
Done! It seems to be a pattern emerging for this to fix peoples phone's.

Strange.
At least on my xt1032, the dead battery bug / drop from 100% to 0% bug stopped happening with the 4.4.4 update. Good to know that if it ever happens again it can be brought back to life by entering the fastboot menu. Nice!

Problem with my I-mate SP3i

Hello every body.
I've a problem with my I-mate since 3 or 4 months ago. It works with windows mobile 2003 se since I paid it to Los Angeles. I used for long time may be 2 years without any problem. The problem is the operating system (OS) doesn't respond. When I switch it on, when it finish to load the OS, the screen indicates "Flight mode", no network and not battery. You can see it on these pictures.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In that situation, if you want to access to any program, there is an error "Access denied. The program cannot start because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate".
I tried the hardware reset, it doesn't work, i tried also all the methods which is on the forum XDA-Developers but nothing special.
Can someone help me?
Solution about my problem
Hi everyone,
I find myself the solution about my problem, I've done correctly the hard reset and my I-mate SP3i works again.
This is the hard reset I used:
1. Press and hold soft1 and soft2 keys.
2. Press and hold power button for around 1 to 1.5 seconds. Release power
button. Keep hold soft1 and soft2 keys.
3. Later, screen shoould show instructions to ask user to press '0' key to
reset to factory default.
4. Press '0' within the timeout period, which is only several seconds
only.
5. If no instruction is shown on the screen, repeat steps 1 to 4. The timing is very important.
Thanks
i thanks u
mr gaetanmbk i thanks you for this useful i-mate sp3i., once again i m very grateful to you.

[Q] A500 (unrooted but updated) cannot start...

Hi,
I have a A500 about 2 years, no root and used official update. (I remember it 4.0. ?? something)
It cannot start yesterday night... just charging... fall auto-sleep... (= shut down), it happened many times before, but every times it can start by power button... except this time.
It halted on the "andriod" logo after "ACER" logo, I can see the lighting effect around "android"... but after half an hour, still in this "android" logo;
So I shut it down and restart again... few time... but it halted on the same place.
Then I try to found some information to fix it by myself...
First I try to use
Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1
from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Press power + volume down button... few times... it enter a green ANDROID with "RED !" and a status bar appear... I found it seem to spent a lot of time, so I plug the power and goto sleep... in this morning (I have about 6 hours sleep), the status bar keep in the same level...
I think it didn't work? right?
Then ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
I follow method 2 in above link...
But it didn't work also...

The color bar remain the same level overnight... over 2 hours... nothing change...
And even "RED !" appear, no status bar appear...
Now, when I start the tablet, it just appear "Boot verified failed..."
Any suggestion for me now? What can I do to save this tablet?

I'm having the exact same problem

Black screen of death since 5.1.1

Ok guys it started since I migrate to 5.1.1 ROM, flashed clean DN 0.3 note 5 port, and the phone would just go black at least once per day, nothing seems to work even a hard restart (volume up + power button for 20 sec) only a battery pull would restart the phone. So I figured it must be the ROM ( noone in DN 0.3 thread seems to have this problem) . So I flashed the original 5.1 firmware for my country, rooted it and used it for a day to find out it does the same! I'm really not sure what seems to be the culprit. I couldn't find a conclusive pattern on the bsod however last time I noticed it happened right before I was disconnected from public wifi, perhaps it is the modem? Maybe it's root and bootloader conflict with 5.1 firmwares? (the phone boots up, so it cannot be bootloader? Or I don't understand something about what bootloader does?) Any one has encountered the same problem? Any clues on how to fix it?
Just happened again while wifi connection was weak and I think it happens right before it got disconnected or switched to other connection mode or different wifi
Read around the forums that people are having bsod in combination with Tasker and secure settings to switch off secure keyguard, I never use this option, just use Tasker to automate sync processes, Uninstalled it nevertheless. Will see if it helps
Happened again... Noticed that the battery percentage drops quote significantly after the battery pool, here is the screenshot

I think my phone got a virus? Very weird bootloop/stuck bootloader

My ZE553KL (I use it as a home device control, small tablet) keep loading/reloading for 3 hours now. I CANNOT SHUT IT DOWN. everytime I have this vibrate boot, ITS SUPER ANNOYING.
It show the bootloader then reboot, then show the bootloader and so on. Buttons are unresponsive.
Only think I can do is press up and get to screen number 2 for exactly 6 second (my computer then recognize it).
I cannot remove battery (hello soldered battery). or shut it down, I guess at some point It will drain battery but.
I have no idea what is happening, please help?

Ouch
Play with it. Proper button sequence and timing is everything. It's easy to not hit the right button at the exact moment. Allowing the battery to auto shutdown may break the cycle. Don't attempt to solder the battery without a good iron and skillset. You need to be fast about it.
If the OS is pre Pie it's suspectable to rootkits that require a reflash to erraticate.
A hardware failure is also possible.
A bad coded 3rd party apk can also boot loop you. That's worse than a normal boot loop though.
It's definitely corrupted... hopefully someone here who has seen this before and/or knows more about that line of phones advanced troubleshooting can help you.

Problem with samsung galaxy tab s6 lite

Greetings !, I want to consult and ask for help on a problem that i'm presenting with my –Samsung galaxy tab s6 lite -sm-p610-.
I Connected this equipment to a power bank as its battery was about to run out and leave it alone while charging. After a few minutes I realize that it turns off but I did not pay attention to it, until it turns on by itself and the following appears (attached image)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Look on my own and as I understood the download mode of the Tablet was activated, or so it seemed, so I tried to get out by pressing the power button + volume down button for a few seconds and it worked, and leave it like that until I connect it to the outlet to charge it, it showed me the charging image and thereafter it disappeared and gave no sign of charging and much less turns on, black screen. I tried several times with the power button and no sign of starting.
What I can do? Is there any solution? It is no longer software but physical?
So far and tried without it working:
-Leave it connected charging at intervals of 10 minutes to 30 minutes in case it is discharged too much
-press the power button for 1 minute or more
-press the power button + volume down button for 20 sec, 1m and 2 minutes without result
- try to do something with ODIN from the pc but it does not recognize the device (other devices do recognize them),
I appreciate your help.
Try all three buttons pressed for 20 seconds
