[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str1ngcheese:
So first some back-story, I'll get right into it. I recently dropped my phone in some water. As soon as possible I dried off the outside, and let it sit. That was the only thing I could do at the time, I had no rice, no tools to open up the phone, anything. I ended up with a solid red light, and everything unresponsive.

The next day I got some tools to open her up. There was pretty extensive corrosion to the motherboard, so using some alcohol I cleaned it all off, rinsed it, and let it dry. I also took apart everything else and cleaned any corrosion. The inside looks brand new. However, this isn't the point of the thread.

It appeared my cleaning helped quite a bit. Upon re-assembling and plugging in, I immediately got a charging sign on the phone. However, after trying to power on, I got no response. Additionally, The charging signal went out after about 20 seconds, and the whole phone became unresponsive again. I can do this process as many times as I want, but the same thing happens every time.

So I tried a different approach. First I hold down both volume rockers plus the power button, and plug it in while holding them down. This puts the phone into "download mode" However, once in download mode the phone is, again, unresponsive. After plugging into my laptop, my computer recognizes the phone, but not as "Nexus 4," but as "Full JellyBean on Mako."

Is there anything I can do about this? I've heard about drivers being able to be installed when in download mode, but I would not know what these are, where to get them, or how to install them. I really don't mind if my phone never works 100% again, I doubt it would. I just want to be able to get into the storage so I can recover some of the files I lost.

It's also probably worth mentioning I have not gotten a solid red light after the clean. Once in a while I will get a blinking red light after plugging it in, but after less than a minute it stops and goes through the charging/stop charging phase I'm so familiar with. Any help at all would be appreciated, and thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
The charging block and/or battery could be wrecked, for safety reasons and because it will probably become faulty soon you should change the battery anyway. If the charging block is broken flashing your phone could fail. It's also possible the board was irreparably damaged, but it's probably worth a try as the parts aren't too expensive.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str1ngcheese:
After trying to figure more things out, I kept it plugged in for a while. It appears my battery actually holds at least a pretty good charge, as the indicator is full when I plug it in now. However, I don't know what you mean when you say charging block.

Also, I seemed to determine my power button isn't working either. I always thought no response to pushing it meant there was something else going on, but I am able to put it into "download mode" by just holding down the volume rockers and plugging it in. Is there a way to turn on the phone another way besides the power button? Also if not, will buying another power button fix the problem? I don't want to buy one then later figure out the reason it wasn't turning on was just a board problem, and not a problem with the button itself.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
You can short the power button with a screwdriver or something should turn the phone on., By charging block I mean the secondary board that the micro usb port is a part of, it can be replaced fairly easily if necessary.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str1ngcheese:

With a screwdriver? Enlighten me, I'd have no idea how to do that. If I had a faulty charging block, then my phone wouldn't be able to charge correct? My phone was plugged in for a while in download mode, and it gained a full charge from a relatively low charge. I also took the block apart and cleaned any corrosion, so I think that's still functional.

Some more progress, upon further attempting to turn the phone on, I was able to get it into fastboot mode. When plugging into the computer it is recognized, but as just "Android." I will type out what information is displayed here, minus serial number, as a new member cannot submit links in posts apparently.

FASTBOOT MODE

PRODUCT_NAME - mako

VARIENT - mako 8GB

HW VERSION - rev_11

BOOTLOADER VERSION - MAK0230d

BASEBAND VERSION - M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.98

CARRIER INFO - None

SERIAL NUMBER -

SIGNING - production

SECURE BOOT - enabled

LOCK STATE - locked

Also, fastboot at the top (as far as I know) usually says "Start" or "Recovery Mode," but mine says "Restart bootloader." When I try switching with my volume buttons, nothing happens.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str1ngcheese:
Another update, just in case anyone is still listening..

This no longer applies, for some reason I am able to switch through all modes, incliding "Start, Power Off, Recovery Mode, and Restart bootloader."
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monotoko:
Now that you're at this point, have you attempted to flash the phone with a stock image? I'd be weary of what the other poster said though and ensure your USB connection is holding steady because you don't want it dying half way through a flash because then you'll have a brick.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str1ngcheese:
I have tried actually. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.0 to try and flash it. At first it wouldn't find the device, but through device manager I manually installed the usb_driver onto the phone. After this, the toolkit was able to find the phone. I attempted to flash the image, but it ended up staying in fastboot mode. The program then suggested I try to enable "force flash," which I did, and this time it was never able to finish because the phone tried to restart, but went through that "charging to unresponsive" state I described in my first post.

Upon trying to flash it normally again, it looks like maybe the phone has to be unlocked to do this properly? I then tried to unlock with the same program, but in order to do that, I need the power button to confirm I actually want to unlock the phone. So yet again, I need that power button working.

Any ideas/suggestions/solutions would be amazing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
Jellybean on mako means that your phone is in lgnpst/qcpnst mode. Looks like something failed to start and made the bootloader trogger that mode
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str1ngcheese:
Soo, any suggestions?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
clean all the contacts with alcohol (not the normal one, the other that i dont remember the name).clean all the corrusion that you can find,let your phone charge for some hours and try again
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str1ngcheese:
I've already done that.

Problem is the power button doesn't work, and the flashing fails. It looks like the flashing fails because the phone isn't unlocked. To unlock, I need the power button. Kinda stuck.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
the golden contacts on the power button / mobo could be damaged, do a little short till phone turns on
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str1ngcheese:
How would I go about doing a short?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
touch in both pins, something that passes electric current(like a yarn,wires, copper wire, something that passes electrical current).its basicly what the power button does.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mouse100:
I've about 20gb of holidays photos and since I want to put them in my Android without reduce internal storage phone I bought from amazon 2 microsd XC-I 32GB (I've 2 galaxy note).

Every photo is about 1MB, so I first of all formatted sd with android in settings and then I connected the phone to pc and I tried to pass all photos. When transfer is finished I can see photos in gallery but when I reboot my phone a message appears "Your sdcard is damaged" and I can't do anything, only format another time my sd.

It's very annoying! I tried with both sd card, I tried to reduce photos size with irfanview or put photos directly in the card (with a computer card reader). Nothing worked.

So what could be the problem? How can I solve this issue?

I don't understand why a Samsung sdcard doesn't work with a Samsung phone. And it's not an old sd but latest samsung sd card.

Here is the card:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mouse100:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToLife:
OH crap my bad. I totally read your question wrong. Forgive me for that ><

Try putting it in your computer, formatting it as FAT32 (I believe that's the one), then transferring all of the photos directly onto the card, not passing through the phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Textbook1987:
I do store tech support for a coffee company with over 150 stores. I have contacts synced to my exchange account with the first name Store and the last name their store number. With my old phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) I could do a search contacts and just enter the last name, such as 354 and it would bring up Store 354. With the LG G2, if I type in just 354 it will only bring up phone numbers that have 354 in it. Store 354 does not show up in the results. If I type in "Store 354" it shows up. Is the phone seeing "just numbers" in my search query and thinking it doesn't need to search names? Is there any setting I can change to fix this? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x10user2011:
Hey does anyone know why I have advertisements popping up on my phone all the time?

It's random and occurs in all apps and I checked for virus with a scanner and it doesn't say anything. Has anyone had this issue before and know a solution? Idk what I clicked that might have caused this bug. Ads usually are games that lead me to the play store and not anything explicit (if that helps)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Start in safe mode see if they still show up
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
If it is in games, if you're rooted try downloading an ad blocker. Since they blocked it from the Play Store you will need to Google it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x10user2011:
It's not that, it's ads popping up in places such as SMS or music and it's weird..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
You have something installed doing it. What did you last install before it happened?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Still safe mode will disable all third party apps and any potential malware on your phone

think of it as a fail safe boot like how Windows has it

Heres how to get into it

https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2852139?hl=en

how to get out of it? just shutdown your phone as you normally would and start it back
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
This is odd. Have you downloaded something from outside the play store? Do you have unknown sources enabled? If you didn't, then something is horribly wrong here. If you did download and install any APK, delete it.

If this is something from the Play Store itself, we have to report it.

To be completely safe, as others said, run the phone in safe mode. If they still pop up, flash the factory image...something went wrong. If they don't, it's an app.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varuntis1993:
There is also another trick that I found some days ago.....restart the phone and then let the google logo go, when the boot animation starts keep pressing the volume down button untill u get to the lock screen....ur safe mode should be there ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Please take a screenshot of such an ad to help us see what the problem might be. Also have a look at installed apps to see which one may be causing it.(preferably list all 3rd party apps you have installed, or simply a couple of screenshots)

Also as mentioned you should try safe mode(long press the "turn off" button in the power menu), to see if it still happens.(if not, it is one of your 3rd party apps.)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConorCX:
You could try and use a nifty app from the Play store called AirPush detector. It will look through your phone to look through which apps might be showing you unwanted advertisements.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
It was definitely an app that you installed, there are some apps in the playstore that if you install them will show ads. This is sketchy but I guess they want to make money somehow.... :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
this is how many free games/apps stay free
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
Popup ads? I understand ads in the game, but I've never seen ads that pop up in system apps. That's not allowed per the google play TOS. I'll be sure to report them if you give me the names of them. I have apps on there too, and most of them don't have ads, but the ones that do are always unobtrusive.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
Oh I can't remember what app it was it was on my nexus 4, I installed something and everytime I would hit home it would popup like a sys warning message but it would be an ad.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I would run a virus/malware scan and stop using questionable apps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
This. People keep complaining about Android having viruses when they're downloading all kinds of things like "free smileys" from random sites. 99.9% of the time, Google Play has clean apps, but there are still some apps that Google needs to filter out better. They need to completely ban air push and other notification ads or really anything that doesn't stay within the app.

EDIT: This wasn't meant to bash the OP. I'm talking about other people, and hopefully the OP didn't download this kind of stuff.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yea. these apps open in the background. and since they are "open", their ads pop up. these arent the same kinds of ads that open in the app itself, theyll open in the status bar or just pop up. again, they are usually included in free apps/games that are usually of lower quality.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
I thought Google banned that? http://phandroid.com/2013/09/30/google-play-notification-ads-policy/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
looks that way.

but there are certain conditions that these app makers can use those ads.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
Wow. That's dumb. Oh well, I would never download any of those shady apps anyway, and neither would most people, but I still wish Google would have a bit more strict guidelines.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x10user2011:
Really weird but I deleted any sketchy apps like this ringtone maker and an instagram collage maker. I'll see how it goes...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x10user2011:
Thank you it's really helpful! I just deleted some apps prior to running this app and it tells me that I'm fine. So I hope that means I chose to delete the right apps already!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoval:
You just need to check the last apps you downloaded and uninstall them to find which apps is causing this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I would use fastboot commands to erase userdata, erase cache, flash a new userdata.img file, boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, reboot.

Commands are:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash userdata.img (the img file needs to be extracted from the stock ROM currently installed on the phone)

After flashing usedata.img file, do not reboot yet. Select recovery using volume button from fastboot menu, wipe data, wipe cache, reboot.

Of course, do this will completely wipe data from the phone.

If the above doesn't work, reflash the entire stock ROM (recovery, cache, etc.) and perform the above steps before booting the phone for the first time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantom146:
i had this with honor a few months back with a friend of mine.. reformat everything everything stays the same.. its with the system your having problem..

what i did? you wouldn't like this but it solves everything:

Reflash your firmware, using a toolkit or adb

erases everything including your custom recovery, pretty much everything on your phone

AND THEN ITS DONE

I need some help. My phone is capable of booting into fastboot mode, but doesn't seem to be able to boot normally.

I am seeing the android laying on it's side with a red triangle with an exclamation point, this keeps blinking on and off. I've tried using rsdlite as well as the flash back to stock options in the moto-x toolkit and nothing is working. I've also cleared the cache and userdata folders but nothing has worked.

Is there a way to fix this or will I need to send my phone back to motorola for a repair?

[Moto X Q&A] doctor_evil:
looks to be the one that I shouldn't have installed the OTA update. why in the F would they send me an update that isn't compatible with my bootloader version?

Well they're getting it back for a repair, I didn't pay 399 for a developer edition phone just to have a dang paperweight because they sent me an incompatible OTA update.
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
They didn't send you a incompatible boot loader, the ota's always come with a new boot loader, so what I like to know is, what version is your boot loader , its Motorola's fault that you accepted the ota while having a custom recovery, had you read my thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639102

[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
Clearly you don't really want us to help or you would have answered the previous posters question. You also gave no details into if you had rooted the phone or unlocked the bootloader.

From the bootloader screen select the "factory" option.
[Moto X Q&A] edthesped:
I may agree with the op here. Moto supplied me with a 4.4 version for my dev ed. If I take an update, have an issue and moto still only provides 4.4 sbf what a I supposed to do?

However, OP you do need to supply more information as we can only speculate as to what your issue is.
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
Its not moto's fault, its up to the user to make sure you read the sticky notes, read the threads and search, moto puts out the ota for unrooted users.

Sent on my Gummy running Lenoto X
[Moto X Q&A] edthesped:
However I purchased a Dev Ed phone. Motorola supplied me with a recovery firmware to restore my device to stock. I therefore expect the Factory supplied firmware to not brick my phone. If Motorola makes changes in an update that would cause previous versions of their software to damage phones when used as supplied Motorola needs to bear some of the responsibility. They can build a failsafe into the update that would prevent an attempt of a downgrade, supply upgrades that can safely be downgraded, add some kind of notification or not market "Dev Ed" phones for mass consumption.
[Moto X Q&A] Tx Redneck:
But the update clearly and concisely says, YOU CANNOT roll back to a previous firmware after applying said update.

Onus is on the user at that point.
[Moto X Q&A] doctor_evil:
I have version 30.B2 according to the fastboot.

and I had originally flashed my phone with TWRP custom recovery and had rooted my phone. I used rsdlite to flash back to the current stock version then when after setting up wireless,etc. on my phone I checked for the OTA and it said that there was a new version that fixed battery issues,etc. so I downloaded it, then restarted. after it finished flashing and rebooted again is when the flashing android red triangle error message started happening. I tried to flash back to the previous stock version, and even tried re-flashing twrp custom recovery so I could go in and do a factory wipe and clear dalvik and cache, and data but nothing worked.
[Moto X Q&A] edthesped:
Does it? I never saw that going to 4.4. As long as they put a new sbf up all should be fine.

[Moto X Q&A] doctor_evil:
UPDATE:

I tried again to select the factory option in fastboot and unlike the previous times I had tried, this time seems to have fixed it. It booted up into Android OS. I think I'll try the OTA once again and see if this time is more successful, as if it screws up again I have a repair rma number and a fedex shipping label, but hopefully it does better this time.
[Moto X Q&A] doctor_evil:
ok OTA successful this time.

does anyone know if it's possible to boot the moto-x off a custom recovery using fastboot like we could for the galaxy nexus? I'd like to get root reinstalled but I don't want to mess with the current recovery, which should help I would think in regards to being able to install OTA updates without major issues.

has anyone tried it with the google play edition of the moto-g? I'm wondering if there is a way to convert from a regular retail rom over to a GPE rom for the moto-x after google starts selling it.

I know you have fixed this now, but if you see the android with the red triangle and ! use the key combination pwr & up vol. That gets you into stock recovery and from there you should be able to boot up.
