Moto G 2nd Gen: Dead Battery Fix (Might work on other Android Phones)
ฝัง

- If you let your Moto G 2nd Generation's battery die this could happen. Even with hours of charging the battery will stay at 0%. This is a fix for that problem.
This problem is actually caused by a boot loop that prevents the battery from charging.
Going into Fastboot mode and letting the Moto G charge through there fixes the problem.

This worked for me after about 5 hours of charging. I used my Samsung charger instead of the Moto charger which apparently is more powerful than the Moto charger. After about 20-30 minutes of charging I did the Fastboot TWICE and it finally worked. Be patient and keep trying different solutions!
Thank you for posting this comment. Move has done the same thing. So now I've booted and will leave plugged in all night.. Hopefully in the morning all will be good 👍
Thank you for the suggestion
After hours trying, I fixed the problem using these steps: Plug in the turbo charger and let the phone boot for 3-6 times. Open fastboot mode and select Normal Powerup fast and its done.
Some things that I figured out:
The vibrator + white screen full brightness consumes too many power that makes the phone shut down.
When in normal powerup, pressing volume down and power helps the phone to pass the vibrator moment (I think this combination of pressing keys let the phone charge more)
I think the phone doesn't charge in fastboot mode with the device locked, black screen either.
The way I clicked the power button matters. Its better to apply pressure perpendicular to the phone, on the center of the power button.
My phone is a Moto X 2ºgen XT1097, and has some battery problems like shutting down at 50% when I use it (Consume more charge, like open the camera or unlocking it). The 0% problem happened because I let the battery end without unlocking it.
I faced same situation what can I do...
please help me...
My Moto X 2nd gen got stuck in a boot loop and would not boot. When plugged into the charger a tiny green led light appeared above the earpiece. I placed it on the Moto charger overnight but it wouldn't boot. The green led light indicates the battery is too weak to boot. This is caused, as "Cauchypotato" describes, by the phone getting stuck in a boot loop. I used his technique to get into the Fast Boot menu and selected "Recovery". The system attempted to recover and the screen went dark but the green led went out. This indicated the system was charging. I let the phone charge for several hours and it successfully booted. No data was lost. The "Recovery" breaks the boot loop. Motorola wanted $125 dollars to fix this problem with a 5 day turn around. Thanks You Cauchypotato.
Even if I have connected to the USB charging it shows Battery low instead of battery low(charging). What to do in this regard please help?
Happens on the Moto X2 also..this fixed work for mine..thanks brother!
The moto x2 acted differently though..it vibrates, green light turns on along with the screen then turns off and keeps repeating...glad to know Motorola fixed this issue with their newer phones
you are the best man, everyone is saying that you should disassemble your battery, send the phone to repair, change your charger and a lot of stuff, but it's as simple as this, although in my case it only stayed for like 5 minutes in fastboot and then went back to the white screen with the battery but in this case it was on 5%... after a few minutes I turned the phone on and now is chargin normal and everything is working normal! My phone it's a moto G 1st gen... thanks a lot dude!
Should the mobile show fast boot mode all the time till I select fast recovery option..? My moto G2 turns off after switching to fast boot mode.. so I've this doubt.. pls. explain.
it worked on Moto G turbo edtion keep it on booth mode with charging plug in and ON ad wait for 15 to 20 min.......works fine and saved money.....thank you Cauchypotato
i thought to carry it to maintenance, now i saved myself thanks you !!! it worked! Moto G3 turbo
If the battery is old and had enough after 3 years of heavy use and shuts down when there's 50% left. Then if this happens with the dreaded green light of death. It can take hours fiddling with fastboot and recovery and holding down the buttons to get the battery to get that 1%. Use the stock charger when the green light comes on. Seems to help a lot. Always keep the phone plugged in if the battery is old and shutting off at around 50% to avoid this problem and save up for a new phone. These are old phones now. Its not worth the hassle of a new battery. I finally got a new phone after a year of this battery shutting off. It's a horrible design flaw Moto did and that vibrate at boot takes most of the current.
This is literally what is happening to me none. I'm seeing 'Battery OK' in green in the status area of the FastBoot Mode. When I try to turn it on the motorola logo screen keeps flashing
@@nix2747 it's the same problem I have, I'm not able to buy a new phone by now!
I have this phone since January 2015, I have used it too much.
I still cannot get it to charge, it's been plugged for more than 10 hours, it still has 0% battery, nothing works, it's frustrating!
@@livisunshine3700 I ended up buying a replacement battery on Amazon. My phone wouldn't turn on for more than a week. When I plugged in the charger it just flashed the logo screen at me.
@@nix2747 lucky you! I don't have that option, the plug in is broken, so not only the battery is broken, but also I have to manually press the plug in to make the phone get charged.
I think the only solution for me is to be patient until I save enough money to buy a new one.
@@livisunshine3700 It sounds that way. I'm sorry it isn't an easy fix for you. I hope it doesn't take you long to replace.
Thanks for this video. My moto g2 was not working since two days. it just got out of battery and wasnt turning on even after a day's charging. I had a lot of data in it so was worried. Thanks to you, the power+lowering volume buttons did the trick for me!! Thanks again
Mine would flash the moto screen for a second then reboot. Using your technique didn’t break the cycle. But unplugging the usb. Then hold power and volume down. Then plug-in. It started to charge and the loop was broken. Thanks for the information. It sent me down the right path.
Thank you!!!! You just helped me after 2 hours of trying everyone's other ideas. I'm so glad I saw your comment!
Excellent I glad it worked. It’s nice to know someone else used the technique.
When I do it the with it plugged in on the red letters saying low battery it doesn't say charging
install first adb drivers for motorola an going again to fastbottt and to see
@@gockanbistricanec12 How in the hell he's going to install something on a phone that DOESN'T TURN ON?
your must first charge batery outside with some chargers, two wires black and red and conect to batery(red to +) and(black-) and whiting 1 hour... an put batery back on the to phone and watch video tutorial
You are right
@@VitorJTekkRodrigues you are supposed to install the drivers in the pc no in the phone.. don't you think that paying for internet and not using google is a waste of your money? or your parents at least?
Thank you for posting this. It helped me get my phone running again!
Thanks man! Helped a lot. Connecting it to an USB port did the trick. But unlike you my phone was charged 66% after leaving it overnight.
This is genious! Thank you so much for sharing this info!
This is absolutley fantastic!
My battery is drained awfully. I tried coupIe of other fixes but they didnt work. falshed phoned but that didnt work either. Even before watching his video. This idea came into my mind
and I turned my fone to ap fastboot mode its been 2 hours from now. still in charging with wall outlet. hope to see postive results. Thanks alot cauchypotato for sharing this knowledge. this saved my phone.
I have a MOTO e Android and it has started powering down when the battery is below 87% -- hardly a drained state. Then it won't boot up unless plugged into a power source -- showing a white screen with plug icon. If I do plug it in, it'll eventually show a black charging screen -- while phone is powered down -- which shows actual battery charge- like 87%. As long as it shows some charge I can boot it up. However it was most inconvenient when I didn't have power for a week due to a hurricane.
hello! I did what you said, but my cellphone is not showing the "charging" label. It is just saying "Battery Low"
There is another solution, may be not generally applicable, but with some phones / tablets: use a USB 'power bank' type external battery for initial charging. This has no electronics built in that says "something is wrong" and then cuts off (as some 'wall plug' chargers will do).
All that I did was push down and power and the blinking white light on my Moto whatever phone stopped blinking and now my phone works thank you
Very helpful for me today. THANKS.
i cant enter the fast loop mode even if i press lock and volume down key for a minute
Thank you so much for this video. It worked perfectly for me. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making this video. It certainly helped me! Well done! I've subscribed! I really thought my phone had, had it! You saved the day!
Expensive complicated over engineered pod
Trying your methode on my tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010. I am currently waiting in the fastboot step, to let it charge. Hopefully the verdict will be positive in about 3 hours. Anyways thanks for the guideline, and I will let you know something if there's any change.
verdict??
It has been 8 years now, what's the verdict?
thanks bro
I have asus zenfone max, I had installed custom recovery and also custom rom(linege)
It too had same problem(bootloop) and not charging .I tried every method but it was all in vain..
So I recommend to charge the mobile in fastboot mode(for about 20min) and restart it..
100% this method works on other phones...
thanks, it works,
The fast boot mode is showing. But disappears and came back to the screen showing 0%battery in a while!!!
How did you resolve it??
This video was very helpful!!mine g2 was showing 0% even though i had kept for charging whole night!!!now its turned on while having charge of 74%!!!tq for ur video
Wow thanks this really helped i was freaking out at that point but now it works again. Im definitly liking this video
Sir I did but it is showing like battery low and it is not showing charging what we should
Worked even when the battery was charged and the phone would not boot(black screen). Must kill boot loops in general? Thanks! I was looking for the way to remove the battery...and it's not easy on these phones. This is a good thing to remember.
omg thank you so much cauchypotato!!!!!! it worked for my son's cell phone!!!!! he has this exact cell u used in your video. I followed your steps. and it powered on. I saved your video for future reference. thank you thank you thank you
my mob did boot up but i used the recovery mode(i had twrp recovery on my mob)and rebooted the mobile..........as in the bootloader it displayed only "low battery" and not charging
in boot menu battery is ok but i am still getting boot failed in all the options i have charged it for whole night
Have you figurd how to fix it?
i kept for jus 10-15 mins its automatically charged for 2%
It doesn't say Charging and it says connect usb even when connected with the charger...what to do?
Anuj Kaul Same. Did you fix this? I even bought a new battery
Yaa fortunately, i kept it on for charging on the same screen for 2. To 3 hrs nd dn switched it on it worked
Anuj Kaul Doing that right now! Hope and see.. It kept saying 0% before
Just wait for around 2hrs and then try to restart... It worked for me... It should work for you too!!!😊
Anuj Kaul I have the same problem what do I do ??
Works on Moto X 2nd Gen. Thank you!
This is actually a serious design flaw of Motorolas since the very charging process will cause natural heating of the temperature, and this is misinterpreted by Motos as a threat to the battery, therefore it cuts the charging altogether, the phone stops charging. Only solution I found to this is charging the phone powered down connected to USB in computer (minimal charge current) but it takes the whole night to charge 50%. Severe design flaw. Still happens on new Motos too, not just older ones.
guys listen ... the above video will only work if u have disabled locking of ur phone (i.e. password or pattern etc.) becz ur USB can detect ur phone only wen its unlocked not while its locked.... bt u can solve this issue.... u can use normal wall charger... jus open up the fast boot option like the guy did in video (sometimes dosnt pop up at first try bt keep on trying) aftr dat jus select the normal powerup option like in video and then wait ... make sure ur phone is charging while accessing fast boot... ur battery screen should show % other than 0... it worked for me....
I tried as shown in video, screen appeared it is showing battery low and not the battery low(charging). Also it's showing device locked, Status Code 0
I still selected normal power up, and kept for an hour, it dint get charged. Instead phone is getting heated up. I think its the same problem, USB charging is not getting detected because device is locked. Any suggestions on that? I cant unlock the phone without seeing the home screen. And my phone is in loop of...appearance of White screen with Moto Logo then vibrates for once..goes off, again white screen with Moto Logo then vibrates...goes off..n so on!! I dont know how to fix it. Its just problem with charge of the battery!! Buying a phone doesn't make sense here, Can anybody help me in this? :(
+Ashutosh Biltharia well urs is a different boot loop i am not aware of.... really sorry cant help ya other than suggesting to go to the service center
+Ashutosh Biltharia you know wat jus keep it like that ( let the boot go on )... let it stop on its own... i aint a tech genius bt it has to stop sometime .... when it stops... try charging again...
I tried that too, when it went to switched off, i connected charger. As soon as I connect charger, it automatically starts the same loop. Also I just went to Moto service center, they said its software issue and asked me to leave for a day, I was not very sure so I got my phone back. I thought I will only do the recovery/factory settings but my worry is it doesn't have much charge and if i go ahead to do factory settings with wall charger connected to it, i m not sure whether it will get charge during the process, if it doesn't then it might get stuck in between and phone might go dead for all.
Hey I am having the same problem. The screen is completely black, no white light, It says device is LOCKED, status code 0 and Battery Low.
I have been charging the phone for over a night now, plugged it into a charger last night, even tried charging with my Mac. But the phone is just dead. Kindly tell me if you able to revive your phone.
Thanks a lot of u bro Thank u infinity times finally I just got my moto g on Thanku I wanna hug u
ps: Its for general info that while flashing or root or anything else use wall charger instead of computer usb. Because usb doesn't provide the required current of 2 Amphere or so.
After pressing the power and volume button, my mobile says Battery low (instead of Battery low (charging) in your mobile). Will the above approach help?
Yaar,me too having similar problems,please if you could tell me how did you resolve the issue
Thanks very much ! This works for Moto G5 Plus with flat battery not charging.
Mine is at 100 percent but it has a red signal when I remove the charger. What I do to get it working right and it doesn't show a red signal.
An easier way to do this [that works with my Moto X gen 2] is to hook it up to a high power 2-2.5A charge adapter at least until 10%, then plug back into normal charger.
The MAIN problem is, that damn HUGE white screen that drains the battery as fast as it is trying to get charged when you connect to a low power charger. The boot loop is caused by the massive screen battery drain. When he does the trick above, it leaves the phone screen black which does not drain the battery as much. It is an IPS screen with active backlights, battery killer.
This really really helped me alot ty for such a helpful video
what if it says device is locked and says battery low please respond as fast as possible
For me it shows battery: ok, and when the battery logo appears, it doesn't even say 0%, it's pure empty
Running on the same issue, Left it in the boot screen options and waiting for 1 hrs to see if that helps.
Great just now problem solved hats off to you!!!!
Thanks bro! that volume down and power button worked. just do it for 15 seconds to 40 seconds. TY
What if there’s no (Charging) symbol next to the (Battery Low) symbol in fastboot mode when I’m charging?
BOI, you dont know how much iv'e searched this for to fix my cellphone, i allways coudn't get the fast boot mode active
What if when I enter to the fastboot mode while it is pluged in but in the red letters it doesnt says "(charging)"?????
same here
same and does any one have a solution for that?
It kept doing this for me as well, but then I connected the usb to my laptop instead of the wall charger and it came up charging (in about 10-15secs) when i got into fastboot mode
weird, I just swapped over to my computer's usb and it changed to charging
I need a new phone :|
I have a doubt. My device is Moto G 3 turbo and it doesn't show normal powerup but it shows tons of other features like restart bootloader start and all that so what should i do
After new cable, charger, inter-gum brush cleaning.
I decided to buy a battery. No luck.
Then, thought I'd try alcohol on a toothpick.
Holy crap! My wife somehow got the tiny tab, that's supposed to go in the middle of the plug bent down. I had no idea!
Bent it back up. Now it works like a charm!
Told her, make sure you plug it in straight from now on. Not at an angle!
I even ordered a port assembly. 🙄
i have same problem i try this method but fastboot mode no more longer than 5 minute how can i charge for 1 hour ?
adhirath sonaiya hey is your issue resolved.? Me too facing the same issue.
same problem here
Same issue
same
same
thanks buddy its work even for Motorola Droid Turbo. press 30 seconds as you said & remove the charger. it works. thanks a lot
He said to remove the charger? I missed that. Is not the entire idea to charge the darn battery?
Thousand of thanx.
Because of your video i got my phone
I had it in fast boot mode and left it charging .... then after like 10 minutes i got impatient and pressed the on button ... mistake .. the motorola logo came on (trying to re boot i guess) then the screen went black ... so i guess now fully drained ? what now ? any advice welcome ...
.my battery doesn't boots up after I press the on n the volume mode..what should I do.
So, after plugged in the msg in the screen should be showing the entire time? it showed up to me, but is not there anymore...
thanks buddy...it worked ..even device locked status code 0 showing case
Bro Thanks a lot it works
Thanks Cauchypotato, u r the shit!
Usb charing? not the wall charger? I just tried to do this with the wall charger, but the issue is after a minute the "fastboot" menu dissapears and if I press the power button the white battery icon appears again (of course, on 0%). Charging it with my PC could solve the problem?
same. did it get fixed?
Same here too...how did you resolve it?? Plz be kind to reply ...
My phone when kept in boot mode connected with charger, it's showing changing percentage. After 1 hour it shows 100% charge. But when using my phone for 10 min or less it drains to 0 and shut down...pls help me to fix this problem 😔
I have an old phone with identical symptoms but on boot mode it reads battery ok In green.
thank you so much bro it helped me alot keep uploading such awesome videos and do help people in need god bless you
Man you're a life saver
I am using motorola turbo. last night when i was using my cell it showed battery low massage and later on it turned off but when i plugged it for charging it didn't charge however i plugged and left my cell for 2 to 3 hours but it didn't work so please help me to fix this problem
this is the exact problem i am facing with my moto g2. but in my case it won't go to fastboot mode even after pressing power+ vol down button about 1 min. please help me
worked on Moto Z ! Thank you so much brother
bahut bahut dhnyabad apka mera phone open ho gaya

I plug my USB cable in but it shows me battery low only in custom recovery place
My turbo charger won't turn on its a g5+ got the original charger been sitting for 3 hours to get 40% how do I get the turbo charge on?
What if it only says charger connected? No charging no battery low just charger connected
My phone simply won't charge, its currently at 17% and about to die, I've tried my original usb cable and a computer usb cable, both didnt work any suggestions?
You are a life saver...Thanks for the video!!!
Still nothing show on the screen after pressing volume + power button
Dose it work on ipad because i did it and dose not whatto work i did the turn and volume down and up it still dise not work
Haha I do it differently, I searched other thing actually but I thought if you have that problem, I do it like this
1.remove the charging cable
2.use the long push on power up, wait until the low battery light comes at the top of your phone
3.plug the charging cable
And if it doesn't work do it many times
I promise it will work because sometimes I have the same problem and then I do that and everything is fixed
Hope I helped you
