You MIGHT want to try a different USB cable.

I'm using my Nook Color adapter(1A) and a generic USB cord which works fine, however one time I accidentally used my Optimus V cable and it would NOT charge while the MT was up and running, however it WOULD charge IF I powered down the MT...

I haven't even tried the cable that came with MT yet... nor have I tried charging via a USB port on my nb, but I imagine that would be REALLY sssslllloooowwwww....
[Motorola Triumph] emkorial:
I exchanged my device for a new one, and with my new phone, when plugged in, the lock screen no longer shows "Chargin" with the %. Any ideas how to bring it back?
[Motorola Triumph] Genesis3:
It only shows that if you're on an AC charge. If you're on USB it won't.
[Motorola Triumph] emkorial:
I've tried on 2 different AC chargers and it still doesn't display
[Motorola Triumph] Genesis3:
Same cord? The AC pins have to be shorted or it won't go into AC charge mode. I have a couple of USB cords that work fine for connections to the computer but will not go into AC mode (the USB cords that come with the Optimus are known for doing this on other phones, incidentally....)

It'll charge without AC mode being "engaged" but at the 500ma rate instead of the 1A rate, so it will take a lot longer.
[Motorola Triumph] nickmcnamara:
the answer is simple.....due to crappy crappy design of micro usb the charge port actually comes un-soldered from the board and obviously it no longer will charge nor will usb work!!! now before you ramble on with how do i know i wondered why mine wouldn't worked i opened the phone and notice the micro usb pins were not attached anymore....i have sent this in to Motorola which gives you a 2 year warranty instead of virgin mobiles crap $5 a month insurence then you still have to pay like $100 to get a new phone!!! so i will post how everything goes so far i know the repair center is in McAllen TX and they give you a free 2day shipping label valued at $100 to send in the phone!
[Motorola Triumph] tcross8361:
You might want to try plugging it into a wall (not pc) and leave it for 20 minutes. Mine ran completely dry one time and it wouldn't display nothing until it charged for a while. If you've already tried this then definitely take it back.
[Motorola Triumph] nickmcnamara:
*update* They are fixing my phone now and i should get it in 5-7 business days no problems they received the phone and started the repair
[Motorola Triumph] Froxen:
I had the same problem but different solution.

I too let my phone completely discharge to find that it would not indicate that it was charging or even power on with or without the battery being present, but I "jumped started" my phone. This is a weird technical solution that went as followed in its entirety, meaning, some of these steps might be pointless or useless but I did them and I now have a working resurrected MT in my hands that is charging. This solution is assuming that there is no problem with the micro USB soldering on the main board.

"Jump Starting"

1) Remove the back casing and your MT battery and place both to the side, but keep the battery close by for polarity reference.

2) Have another battery of the same 3.7v that is charged (disregarding mAh).

3) Now here is the fun part and pay CLOSE ATTENTION to

POLARITY

!!!

-Get two spare wires, preferably of different colors so you can tell the [+] from the [-].

-With the spare 3.7v battery you have, in what ever way you can, connect your spare wires to it, paying close attention to polarity.

-Now that you have your spare battery wired, CORRECTLY connect the wires to the inside connectors of your MT what ever way you can, paying close attention to polarity.

Being [+] connected to [+] and [-] connected to[-]

4) Boot your phone until you know you are at the home/lock screen. Then remove the wires from the MT battery connectors.

5) Use this same battery and connect it to your battery for about 30-60 seconds, paying close attention to polarity. This will give the battery some juice for the system to recognize.

6) Place the battery back in the phone without attempting to turn it on and return the back case to the closed position.

7) Now connect your MT to a powered micro USB cable and see if the red indicator charging light turns on.

-If so then great!

-If not then you may have some other problems

-If yes and no, as in the cable has to set a certain way for it to charge then just keep on reading for that fix as well.

"Loose Connection Fix"

This is how I fixed my loose micro USB cable and it worked for me, but I do not have soldering problems on my main board of my MT so proceed if you think this will help.

1) Your micro USB male side of the cable that plugs into your MT should look something like this (excuse the crude drawing of letters)

{

the dots are empty space

}

____________

\................... /

\UUUUUU/

2) Get a pair of needle nose pliers and SLIGHTLY pinch/squeeze the center of the male port closed so it looks like this

____...... ____

\.... \...... /.... /

\UUUUUU/

Except not that extremely bent inward, but you get the idea.

This will force the male tongue in the MT charging port to be forced onto the pins inside the micro USB cable for a better connection and thus fixing the loose connection problem

I hope this helps someone, it helped me save my $300 paper weight from actually being a paper weight.
[Motorola Triumph] aspecialdad:
I let my battery die down and also did a battery memory reset, then the phone acted bricked.

Then I tried this to revive and it worked!

Thanks for the help here I did this but when I connected the batter to the phone nothing happened. I connected battery to battery let sit for about 90 sec put it in phone and plugged in and the red light is now on!

Thanks!

Well,

add my phone to the list. It started about 2 weeks ago when after completing charge, instead of maintaining trickle charge it just let battery drain. I woke up couple of times in the morning finding the phone's battery on it's last legs. Now it simply refuses to charge by anything but my car charger. Lucky for me (and I thought I would never say it in my life) I have a long commute to work and it allows me to recharge the phone while I enjoy typical traffic delights.

I am going to call Motorola and discuss my options with them. I hate doing this as my phone is long since rooted and running CM7, so I will probably have to revert to factory settings before sending it off and if they decide to exchange I would be running a chance of receiving one with bad GPS.
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
yes i've had this problem to i have to charge my phone on a Samsung charger no motorola charger will work on my phone.
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
Sorry, I'm somewhat new here.

I have a Motorola Triumph and it just stopped working. The general idea is that the Micro-USB port was shoved up into the device?

How do you go about contacting Motorola about sending it back to be repaired?
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
I have delt with this problem SO MUCH, have you tried my battery charging fix yet ? I have the link posted in this section called battery charging fix, Hope this helps you it sucks when your phone won't charge.
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
Well the problem is that it won't even turn on. I think the battery has some kind of charge but when I hit the power button, it vibrates like it's booting up then stays off.

I don't know that much about phones, but from what I can gather off Google and the various threads on XDA (Great site, by the way!) the general consensus is that it's the micro-usb port.

Granted, I may be wrong, which is a very real possibility. Heh.
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
Well 2 things, have you replaced your recovery with the clockwork recovery image ? If so try any means nessary to get into recovery, My old Triumph would NOT charge with any motorola charger, I belive this is a defect with the triumph. You might try a powermat of some kind to get enough power to get to recovery & do what my guide says to fix this most pain in the ass problem, Or get another battery & follow the guide. It's worth a shot anyway. otherwise you've got two options replace it or open it up, if you're gonna open it up then get a super fine sautering tip or file one down to needle size, this is how I do precision sautering on circut boards.
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
No, I had downloaded Clockwork with the intention of installing a 2.3 rom on it, but never got around to it. As for the charger, my Triumph charges with any micro-USB, from my old LG and Samsung chargers to the Motorola charger that came with it. It acts weird though when I plug it into a computer, saying it is connected to a computer, then that it's not, then that it is, then that it's not, repeatedly. I usually just end up turning it off so it won't do that.

I find it weird, though, that now when I try to charge it, the charging light up where the speaker is will not come on, as if it isn't charging. (And I don't think it is charging.)

I've also tried putting it into the "recovery mode". (Like I say, not too knowledgeable about phones yet. :( Learning experience. ) When I boot it up (into "recovery mode" or "regular" (?) mode) it just vibrates like it should then does nothing.

Edit: It finally did boot into the "recovery mode", but the touch button things at the bottom (menu, home, back, and search) don't do anything, and I cannot get into the menu to do a factory reset.

I don't think it's the battery now? I am more confused then I was when I started, and appreciate any and all help!
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
You need clockwork for this to work, 2nd LG chargers do not work on the Motorola Triumph ! 3rd the soft keys don't do anything in stock recovery. If you can boot into downloader mode do the clockwork image swap & i'll be able to help you. Good Luck man if you need any more help let me know.

EDIT: to get into downloader mode hold volume down & power then connect it to your PC, when it opens the drive on your PC open the folder & swap the stock recovery image with the clockwork image, then proceed with the battery fix guide. To boot into clockwork hold volume up & down plus power, hold these buttons until it boots into clockwork
[Motorola Triumph] marc12868:
Actually they work on mine... I can use cables and chargers from all across the board and it charges fine. I know a bunch of people have complained about that issue, but not all of them have it. Just saying.
[Motorola Triumph] agentc13:
Mine is charging on an LG charger right now. Some have issues with that sort of thing, but it isn't everyone.

As far as the question it sounds like when he is connecting via usb that the connection cuts in and out repeatedly. You will have to find a spot where it is more stable and the connection won't cut in and out.

[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
My old Triumph would cut in & out with the USB cable that came with my phone, I had to position it just right or it would cut in & out, it's a real pain in the butt.
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
First, my apologies about not responding. Between work and personal issues, it's been hectic. Heh.

Okay, so I went and downloaded agentc13 5.0.2.7 recovery.img and I still cannot boot into anything. It vibrated the first time I tried the vol+,vol-,power button, but that's all it did. Vibrate. :(

Am I doing something wrong? I can't do a battery fix because it won't come on to do a data/cache wipe and system format.

Sorry, I know I am not that bright about phones. :(

Edit: I tried using recovery-cwm-5.0.2.6-triumph as well.
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
Well lets see humm ? This phone use to work ? Unfortanently it's about to get real complicated man, do you know how to use adb ? Does the phone boot into downloader mode ? Volume down & power. Are you sure the battery has a charge ? Test it with some sort of ohm meter & see if it's good. I'll be thinking of another way to try & help you, I'm gonna do a shout out to some guys i know who are alot smarter than me, hell everything know is from them, so we'll see what happens.
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
It used to work. And no, I have never heard of abd and Google only tells me it's "all but dissertation" or "american board of dermatology", neither of which I think applies here.

When I do volume up and power, volume down and power, or volume up, volume down, and power, it vibrates and then does nothing. It should have a charge. I'll see if my warehouse guy has a ohm meter tomorrow and if so I'll use that to check but I am not certain if he does.

You don't know how much I appreciate the help. I was afraid it just bricked (Still somewhat worried), and I think we all know how well Virgin Mobile helps. :/
[Motorola Triumph] marc12868:
ADB is android debuggin bridge. If you donwload the android sdk it automatically comes with it. ADB is one of those things that are great for times like this, because you can tell if its being recognized, pull and push files, and do a logcat which will tell you all the errors. I would recommend downloading the android sdk (if you don't have high speed internet it may take a while though). Anyways here's where the android sdk is: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
Why would it be bricked ? aren't you just rooted on the stock rom with no clockwork recovery installed ?

EDIT: A developer buddy of mine said maybe it can't boot with USB attached ? You didn't flash any kernels did you ?
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
Not sure why it would be bricked. Like I said, very little knowledge of cell phones so for all I know it could be something super simple or something super complicated. >.>

And all I did was switch out the recovery.img for another recovery.img via the computer. I don't think that's flashing a kernel? And I tried turning it on without the usb. It used to turn on without a problem before this all started.

And Marc, I'll download that SDK thing.
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
Ok i've got a question for you, when you did the recovery image swap did you delete the whole folder or just replace the recovery image, because i made this mistake & all the phone would do is vibrate no screen. Sound familar ? I most certainly know how to fix that.
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
I renamed the Recovery to Recover.old and then copy/pasted the new Recovery in it. The site that had the recovery had a guide that said how to do it, and that was part of it. Should I of done it differently?
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
No that sounds right, that's how i put clockwork my Triumph & my wife's. Is it clockwork that's on your phone ? What happens if you plug it into your PC while it's vibrating ? does it try to open anything ?

EDIT: This sound odd but have you tried turning it on without the SD card in ?
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
It just vibrates for a moment. Probably three quarters of a second, similar to the vibrate that it does when it turns on.

And when I hook it up to the computer I get a usb drive named "mobile". It doesn't have any of the stuff that I've downloaded before though, which seems weird to me but might or might not be weird.
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
Is it the recovery partition that's opening ? If so do you have a backup of the stock recovery folder ? (not just the image), If you don't have that backed up I have all the stock files in the folder they started in backed up, If you need them, but that's only if that's what is opening on your PC would this might work
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
Well, the device "Mobile" would pop up in the Computer folder, with a single folder called "Image". I guess that's the Recovery Partition? I don't really know. Sorry, I know I'm not very good at this.

Now the red charge light is on though when I hooked it to the computer, which I can only guess is good?
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
So the recovery partition does open then, ok here's what where gonna do I'm gonna pull the files from my stock recovery partition & post them for you gimmie a minute to get some coffee & i'll get started. As a precaution make a backup of your folder, Then copy & paste the whole folder over yours & then cross your fingers & hope for a litgle android magic. If all that goes well then try to do a manual boot into recovery, Let me know what happens, if it boots into recovery have a rom ready to flash on your SD card just incase

EDIT: Here's the link to the recovery folder http://db.tt/F2M9k68d

Side Note: My phone didn't want to go into downloader mode very easy, I just kept repeating the procedure volume down & power, in your case it's defaults into this (Mobile drive G is mine) Good Luck man ! Let me know if you need more help.
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
Okay... The computer is detecting the device, but now it's not giving me any access at all to the phone...

The red charging light is on though.

But it doesn't do that vibrate when I press the vol- and power button.
[Motorola Triumph] marc12868:
Make sure your phone is unplugged from all power and completely turned off then try.
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
Hmm ? Ya I would say try what marc12868 said or pull the battery out then hook it up to your PC put the battery back in & then turn on the phone & see what happens. When i connect to my laptop (windows7) with my phone off then turning it on my laptop makes 3 connection noise's to inform me something is connecting, Does your PC do this ? Just curious to know how many times it connects while booting. I would keep trying to connect it maybe you'll get lucky & it will boot.
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
I pulled the battery out and let the battery sit out of it for a little bit then I tried it again. It's not turning on at all. Not into recovery mode, or downloader mode or anything.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see your post, gonna try that now.

Edit x2: Okay, I tried hooking it up to the computer then putting the battery in then turning it on. The computer makes a sound like it detects it but the phone itself isn't coming on in any mode. It's not even vibrating like it used to do.

Please tell me I didn't break it... >.<
[Motorola Triumph] marc12868:
Well the fact that you computer recognizes it being plugged in means there is hope. I would highly recommend downloading the android sdk. Then open command prompt and navigate to where the adb part is at. like for me it would be

(for you it may be different just depends on where you install it). Then from there you can run adb logcat and repeat the steps above and see if you can get a logcat.
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
No offense here but SDK is not all easy for a noob, i mean it's starting to sound like thats what's gonna happen, i was hoping for an easier fix for you, what os is your PC ?
[Motorola Triumph] marc12868:
Well there's always this: http://androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/494579-adb-gui-noobs.html. Adb with a gui.
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
Currently I am running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium SP1.

I think I may have access to Ubuntu if I need it?
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
Whatever you find easier, but yes you can install Ubuntu in the virutal box AKA linux
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
Well, I used to have Ubuntu 10.4 installed on another machine, but I sense wiped it and installed Windows on it again.

I really don't mind which I use, as long as I can get the phone to function again. Heh.
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
Then ADB it is my friend, you'll need the windows drivers for SDK & the windows binaries. Good luck
[Motorola Triumph] Dirsk:
Edit:

Okay, I am reinstalling the SDK and ABD and Binaries. I'll post again when I get it all done and see if I can't go from there.
[Motorola Triumph] jaaydogg:
I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure that's an SDK thing or the android kitchen on Linux via Ubuntu and the virtual box. Good Luck man code makes my head hurt, but I'll help you as much as I can along the way

EDIT: You can run Ubuntu on your windows7 PC with Virtual box
[Motorola Triumph] xxBrun0xx:
I had a similar issue after using a nook color charger. DO NOT do this. My Triumph started overheating (didn't realize it), and after about a week I had a brick that was completely boken (did not power on NO MATTER WHAT, and I tried everything). Granted, VM sent me a replacement for nothing, but it was frustrating not having a phone for a week.
[Motorola Triumph] USA1fan:
Thanks for the quick save!

I know this is an old topic, but I needed to resurrect it just to say thanks. I gave my son my hand-me-down Triumph when I bought an unlocked AT&T GS2. He was off-plan for a month during the summer (no need for a phone when he's around the house all the time- eleven year old, uses the phone to keep in touch with us and related parties for school / church activities and such). So he left the phone off, disconnected, not charging. With the beginning of the school year right around the corner we needed to reactivate the phone, but we experienced this exact problem- no charge, no indication, nada, whether connected via usb to a PC charging USB port (lightning bolt symbol) or to the wall charger. After about a minute of connecting the removed battery's positive and negative to the pos / neg wires of a stripped USB cable (other end in a wall charger), I connected the Triumph's charger to the phone, then reinserted the battery, and BAM, red flashing charge light came on.

Needless to say, this has made my son's day, as he has no wish to go to one of the lesser prepaid phones, whether from VM or one of the other companies. Nothing I've found for under $180 seems to even be comparable to the Triumph, and that's what he was looking at receiving as a replacement (until at least the point I actually decide to spring for a GS3/4 or other newer smartphone, which, given how well the GS2 is working out, might be a while).

So, thanks again!:good:
