[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam15114:
I woke up this morning to my phone switched off, since then I've been trying to get it to boot.

Occasionally, the screen will come on with a battery graphic showing 0%, then it switches off.

On USB connected to my Laptop, it will connect/disconnect as a USB device rapidly, then the screen will come on as above for about 5 seconds, then switch off and it's dead.

I'm really disappointed, I was so happy with this phone, but I dont think I will get another one because of this issue.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can get to the data on the phone? (My next phone will definitely have SD! lesson learnt)

EDIT: I have got it to turn on, finally.

I had to remove the back cover, using a T5 screwdriver. I then diconnected the battery from the board (simply pull), reconnected it, put it back together, plugged my charger in and left it for 10 minutes. Then tried to power it on, all good.

I also had yesterday this Battery Problem.

37% Battery than the phone switched off and I restarted it 1%. I connected the charger and after some seconds it was at 37%.

The Phone is one week old. charged it 3 or 4 times.

Also had 3 times a reboot without dropping the Battery. Seams that this is also a Moto G Problem. :crying:

Should I give the phone back to the shop? :mad:

I've had similar issue after upgrading 4.3 to 4.4. Battery jumped from 60% to 100% after removing charger. It resolved itself and the phone runs just fine. Also discharged to 0% once, charger up just fine.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjgcooper:
I think this is interesting as it raises the possibility that the phones experience a sudden (apparent) drop of arbitrary amounts rather than to 0% . It may be that this is more common and that it's the times when the drop takes the apparent battery level below 0% that we're seeing here.

Anyone else experience a drop that was immediate but not to 0% / 1% ?

For me, it has dropped to 0% twice, at random times having owned the phone for about a month. It was not plugged in to anything either time. I have also noticed the immediate drop that generally occurs when flashing a new ROM - typically this is 20% to 40% I think.

It seems that this can happens as the phone is being plugged into computer or power, while plugged in, as it's being unplugged or when not plugged in at all but that it seems more likely while plugging in / out given that the battery will see a different voltage for that moment.

Question:

The people for whom it has happened while plugged in - I'm assuming that the phone doesn't reboot (given that it is then charging after shutting down)? The main concern I have with this is missing a wake up alarm as at other times it's annoying but at least we know what's happening.

First time for me since i bought it (month and a half), first day with KK (4.4.2)... Maybe theres the problem ?

Went from 66% to 100%, funny thing i was stuck at 66% for like 45minutes
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
No. It happens in 4.3 also, and when flashing 4.4.2 full firmware image. The problem isn't 4.4 or the ota update to 4.4
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisblank:
I had previously reported this issue to Motorola who advised me that the cause is the Charger and that I should only use a Motorola charger ( I had been using an HTC one) and only use the charging cable supplied with the phone. I was doubtful of this but as the charger was cheap to buy, I bought one off EBay. model number SPN5516A.

Only had the charger a few days but I've not had the Battery Drain issue since nor the other problem I had of the phone indicating it was "Charging" when in fact it wasn't attached to the charger! I'm using a no-name charging lead though rather than the official one but so far, so good!

Update: Bugger! Woke up this morning to find that the battery drain issue still happens when using the Motorola charger. Disappointed but to be honest I'm not surprised.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjgcooper:
Hi Boris, thanks for the info and update, doh! Out of interest, so did you have it plugged in charging overnight and wake up to find it had shutdown or was it plugged in and you woke to find it was on but at 1% or was it charged by the motorola charger but then when left unplugged overnight it had shutdown? Thanks :)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tg cid:
Had the same problem. Contacted Motorola help through their website and got this canned response from one of their tier 1 techs. This solution solved my battery problem. Stock Moto G with with OTA 4.4.2. No battery apps to make my battery last longer or any of that nonsense.

This will remove any temporary files that may be causing the problem, but will not delete your files or settings.

1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited [too] long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress (logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, try a force reboot by pressing the Power key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to select this option
8. The device will then perform the partition wipe
9. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence

Updating SuperSU app as suggested through CWM by clicking link on the app. Phone rebooted and stuck at "Samsung". Cannot get into recovery (Power and Vol */- ). Can get into Download to but my SG2 hasn't been able to connect to a PC for a long long time (yeah, switched ports, batteries, cables, and PC's). Doesn't appear that phone wants to charge either. Usually when turned off during charging the battery is partially green and below the battery the dots light up. Now when off and charging battery is gray and rotation swirl doesn't swirl....frozen too. Phone was working without any problems prior to updating the binary (other than not connecting to PC).

Any suggestion appreciated.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The remedy is to flash stock and start over. If you have a bad usb port in the phone, then you probably need to replace that and get usb working so you can flash from Odin. Or send it to a reliable repair shop like Mobile Tech Videos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 318mph4me:
I have read a few posts that associate Framaroot and loosing PC connection/usb mass storage on the I77. Any insight on that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I havn't seen anything about that. Have you read anything about how to fix it? Is this issue supposed to affect hardware or firmware?

Anyway, this should have nothing to do with whether Odin will see your phone. Have you tried to enter download mode with Odin open on the desktop? You need to have "USB driver for Samsung Phones" installed on the pc in order for Odin to recognize the phone when you enter Download mode.

And I can't find the other thread with the post about loosing usb with Framaroot but you gave a thumbs up in this thread (not the specific post). The topic was Framaroot and you were recommending using the apk.

Also, another I777 had the same problem (bootloop) with the SU update( #4327)

By the way, if I can get a computer, ODIN, usb cable and my phone to cooperate, what firmware you recommend I download?

Thanks for your time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I'd suggest you flash back to the latest stock, ucmd8, unless you are reluctant to use framaroot. Otherwise you could use the stock UCLL6, 4.0.4 plus root package. See the links in my signature. I assume you want something rooted so you can use Mobile Odin to install a custom kernel with CWM recovery, and then flash the firmware of your choice.

I looked at those links, but I didn't find the developer's response. Not enough information to respond to, but interesting to know.

As far as /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config, that is a text file. As long as you have root access, you just open it in a text editor and change the text string, then save the file and reboot.

Hey there,

I followed these instructions but I am not able to bring up the service menu.

I have a Note 3, with KK 4.4.2. I have tried to root it with towel root, both versions, and I suppose it didnt root it after all because when I place any of those codes in I get nothing.

I installed ES file explorer and I am not able to see the hidden menus. Even after enabling "show hidden files" and "root explorer".

Any ideas or ways that I can successfully root this device? It seems every time I find a file that says it can root it there is another messages saying it cant root N900V with KK 4.4.2.

Thanks for listening.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Where are you looking? Do you have a \efs directory (some file explorers show it as /efs)

In it, do you have a "carrier" directory?

And in that directory do you have a file named HiddenMenu?

And did you edit that file to change OFF to ON (it must be all caps)?

Then did reboot your phone after saving that file?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Wallace Bagwell:
Using different file explorers I searched for each of the file names and had no success. I found no directories with those names at all. Hidden or otherwise. I used something called Towelroot but it didn't allow me access to root menus using the # sign or present any file names like you mention in this discussion here.

Not having good luck at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Those are not "hidden" directories. They are NOT on the sd card. The are from the root internal directory. It does not require root to find then, only to edit the one file.

You're doing something wrong.
