Several possible problems

1. safestrap often does not report correct battery charge

2. if battery is too low, phone can not run charging software.

3.. if software is corrupt , phone can not charge battery.

Don't use use pc to charge, if you have a 5v 1amp/1000ma wall charge or better use that.

you can use the MacGyver method, but there is a risk of frying the phone and/or battery.

You can buy and external universal charger like this , but you will need to remove battery.

If it's a corrupt software issue, you can reflash with a fastboot/factory cable TBH Factory Cable Adapter, or Fastboot Motorola Factory Cable-ebay

see if you can get back to safestrap with, with power off, hold both volume buttons, press power button, at Boot Mode Selection Menu> Scroll down with volume down button, to BP Tools, Select with Volume UP button, should boot directly to SafeStrap.

see if battery will charge.
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
Thanks for your reply.

Here is some more informations i might have forgot in my first message (or maybe it wasnt clear).

1) Batttery is too low, and it can't run the program to reflash a motorola ROM. This is 100% sure.

2) Software might be corrupt since it first went blackout when flashing. I need to reflash, but back to #1 i can't flash since no battery.

3) I tried to recharge it with a 5V/2A asus tablet charger, and even after a couple of hours, no ****.

4) i can remove the battery. I have already done it. No problem.

5) i can't get back to safestrap : every time i choose an option other than "AP fastboot" i got stuck on the motorola dual core boot image.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
I would use a TBH adapter/fastboot cable to flash firmware, or use a universal external battery charger.
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
And what if i buy another battery ? like for example and extended battery from mugen power, usually those batteries come with 50% of charge, and this could be enough to flash no ?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
An extended battery should have enough charge to boot to safestrap or flash firmware.
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
thanks for your answers :)

im now flashing with McGyver !

Solucion

yo lo solucione cargando mi pila manualmente y flaseando por RSD lite ,pero se me quedo el modo fastboot como arranque inicial algien sabe como quitar eso?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Spanish? "I troubleshoot loading my stack and flaseando manually by RSD lite ,but i was the fastboot mode as initial start someone knows how to remove that?"

So you Flashed a xml/firmware file with red lite?

Which one? Which ap fastboot version is on phone?

It's stuck in ap fast boot? Any errors?
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
Well i got some more work for you sd_shadow, even if it doesnt really have nothing to do with flashing.

It appears that the connectors of my battery were completely dead. I bought a new one. I just put in it and reflashed all the stuff. Looks like it works but ... I have problems getting an image on the screen of my phone !! Is it a problem with flash, a hardware problem ? a problem with battery ?

EDIT : just found it is a bad contact. Got to deal with it i guess ... but any hints to repair it are welome !
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
to be more accurate, the screen doesnt show anything when the phone is closed but works perfectly fine when open ... this is driving me crazy.

Could be a bad flex ribbon cable
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
I suppose this it. What is the solution, changing the whole screen ?
[Motorola Droid 4] Hawkje:
You might want to read this thread on the defective screen: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2552978 although it does not show a solution for it (yet).
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
the flex cable can be replaced, and is likely problem, when it only works when the keyboard is in a specific position.

Droid 4 take apart
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
sd_shadow, i request your help !

So, this morning, i finally had the new flex cable and the T3 corkscrew, so i started to open up my phone to change this damn flex cable.

And if i am posting now, it is because i am stuck. After i got the back of the screen off, i started to take up my actual flex cable.

Here are my questions.

Do i need to heat the screen and take it off to take the flex cable off ?

How do i manage to change the cable where it is connected to the screen ? (Look at the 2 pictures i have uploaded).

I hope to have an answer quick. And i hope i can fix it.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Did you watch the video? http://www.repairsuniverse.com/motorola-droid-4-take-apart-repair-guide.html

it's for replacing the LCD, but shows most of the flex cable take apart.

only need to heat when replacing the LCD.
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
Yeah i have already watched it but i don't know what to do to with the part of the flex cable that connects to the screen cable.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Should be a little plastic latch, that you pull up, to release cable.

Al least there was on the droid 3.
[Motorola Droid 4] rubixcube:
There is no latch, and actually i think you don't see what i am talking about.

I am uploading new pictures to show you the exact part of the flex cable i am dealing with.

Hey guys,

I recently installed xposed installer and use many tools and love it! I've noticed however that when I use wanam xposed that I get this permanent caller icon in my status bar. Appart from that I have a permanent sort of new widget bar in my notification area which I'll post a screenshot off. I recently noticed that even though I uninstall wanam it's still there, only if I remove xposed installer it goes away.

Anyone know how to get rid of this? It's ruining my xposed experience!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _tyler_:
So I have been running CM11 since January and finally got around to updating to KitKat to see what was new and because CM11 wasn't using the kitkat kernel which I assume is what caused all the SoDs and instabilities in all the ROMs. Well now I'm on stock and I'm suffering horrible battery life in comparison (17 hours with 4 screen on vs 36 hours with 8 screen on). I tried flashing CM11 and it worked but after a day or two I wanted to try a new ROM. Carbon was one that I saw near the top of one of the G2 development forums so I decided to try that. Went through the normal process to flash a ROM and it bootlooped when I rebooted. My backup also boot looped and I had to use some method to go back to 12B since I had no ROM or anything on my phone. Got back to 24A and I tried flashing Malladus to see if a stock based ROM would work and it looped. Restored my backup and tried CM11 and it also looped. Now I'm sitting on stock with Verizon's bloat hogging resources and battery and a phone that won't flash and boot successfully. Is there any way I can fix this? Has anyone seen this before?

TLDR: phone won't flash a ROM without bootlooping since 24A update
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _tyler_:
Only gonna bump this once but I really hope the right person sees this. Really confused as to why my phone won't properly boot after a clean ROM flash :(
[HTC One SV] georgekap:
Hi, Iam newone here. So i need your help. I have HTC One SV where it's bricked the only info where i have is :

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

K2_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.21.0000

RADIO-1.18.40a.00.05

OpenDSP-v13.2.0268.0620

OS-311.401.1

eMMC-boot 1024MB

So i tried to restore,nothing happen. fastory reset nothing happen.

I tried to install latest TWRP but it stuck ot logo of TWRP and after 5min it reboots.

I tried to turn s-on to s-off but adb can not find my device.

i tried to the latest ruu nothing again.

i tries to install rom from fastboot but i says that it can not verify signature.

I tried too remove the trampered but again adb can not see my device

HELP PLEASE..... :(

p.s.: sorry for my english i'm not good.....
[HTC One SV] J.ali.li:
If you using win8 try 7 cuz 8 is kind of creepy in recognizing new devices. And make sure you got the right ruu.

I'm sure [MENTION=5537766]Modding.MyMind[/MENTION] can help more.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Ok, you had already 4.2.2 on it, thats good, no firmwareupgrade needed!

- Make sure bootloader is unlocked.

- Download and flash (with fastboot) TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery from here (1. post)

Now you should be able to boot into recovery!

You have two ways you can go now:

- Either download this rom (k2ul version) and flash from TWRP. Don't forget, boot.img must be flashed with fastboot, because you are S-on!

- Or download this stock TWRP backup, place it on your external sd and restore it from recovery.

The location on ext_sdcard for the backup is: \TWRP\BACKUPS\"Put here the serial number of your device"
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Sorry, just now reading this. Currently having battery issues with my device. May be finally taking a crap on me and since this is my only one I may be forced to get a new device thus possibly leaving this community.... Still playing with my phone to determine if it will be neceassary or not.

I tried to flash twrp but it stuck on htc and at the top it is writes entering recovery...

i tried an other one twrp 2.7.0.1 but it stucks on teamwin and after few min it reboot back to htc logo.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Have you also tried the older version Recovery_TWRP_2.6.3.2_K2_UL.img from same post?

How do you flash it?
[HTC One SV] georgekap:
from fastboot with this command fastboot flash recovery reovery.img

i tried and the older version but it stuck on htc logo with on the top writes entering recovery
[HTC One SV] georgekap:
from fastboot with this command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img *

i tried to flash the rom k2ul_4.2.2_3.11.401.1_stock_odexed_v3.zip from the phone.

i rename it pl80img.zip. and now is stuck on htc logo and reboots
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Then i think your phone has another issue. Both recoveries are proved working for k2u & k2ul.

This rom is for flashing in recovery, not for the bootloader.
[HTC One SV] georgekap:
when i flash recovery from fastboot. whene im try to get in recovery mode after how many min its boot to recovery?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
No minutes, just a few seconds.
[HTC One SV] georgekap:
How can i downgrade os???
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Not possible without a working OS.

The phone restarts after booting?

After you have entered the pin number?

Also without simcard/sdcard/plugged into charger (while charging)?

Which OS you are running?

Which TWRP?

Connect your phone with fastboot and type into the cmd:

fastboot getvar all

Put the output here (except your IMEI & Serial number)

First make a backup. Don't know, if there is something to backup anymore, but it does not hurt.

Then flash this rom or any other Android 4.2.2 k2_ul rom.

Don't forget to flash the boot.img of the rom with fastbbot.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] rockal:
Sort by Alphabet

Settings>>General>>Main Screen

Click right side of Oppo Launcher
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] krabman:
Took me a while to find that one myself. Of course then it didn't work, apps didn't sort at all but it fixed itself after I reinstalled the beta and it would then sort them. Just an FYI in case you hit the button and nothing happens.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] lagunabad:
ok got it. after doing that, restart phone then all icon arrange in alphabet a~z lol
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] lagunabad:
need restard the phone lol
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Pick_A_Name:
It's odd that I have nothing under Settings>General>Main Screen as in I don't have a "Main Screen", but if I am in the app drawer and I long press an icon (they start wiggling) and at the bottom in green you can tap it to put them in alphabetical order.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] krabman:
No, you don't. When its working they will immediately sort themselves, when something is hosed they won't restart or no. As to the fellow above you are on 1.2, they changed it in the beta to an option in the main settings and the drawer no longer sorts by a long press in the drawer.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Pick_A_Name:
Thanks lagunabad. I have been struggling to get TWRP on here, so I hadn't put the beta on yet. Finally got TWRP on just now, so I'll see what everyone else sees.

Installation

Installation How-to

Where is the Downloads . . .

WARNING

Even though wrong installation of custom recovery normally will bricks the recovery only however it is better to be safe than sorry.

PhilZ Touch is packed with many features so typically it will work on MTK devices with above 6Mb recovery partition however you can try your luck.

Tested working perfectly on my legacy MTK device, MT6573 & MT6577.

Make a Factory ROM backup first with MTK Droid Tools. My old guide here.

Install Flashify & make another backup of your current recovery first & also the boot.img too

Extract, double-click PhilZ Setup & follow the on-screen for instructions.

YOUR TOOL DOESN'T WORK . . .

i've seen this at many threads & also mentioned this many times at my other threads, most frequent reply is it doesn't work, you have given nothing at all to figure out what went wrong . . .

Please list out as many info as possible then it'll be easier to trouble-shoot & read EVERYTHING before hands-on, fyi, tested working on XP to Win10 Technical Preview . . .

What OS you are using on the PC & your MTK...

Did you disable UAC & Anti-Virus

Did you execute the porting tool at C: drive if you're using XP else then at your Desktop

Did you try Run as Administrator

Could it be some other software that you installed that interfere with the porting tool then uninstall it

Did you try it on other PC with other version OS or even different USB port

Try uninstall all previous adb driver -> Device Manager -> View -> Show hidden devices -> uninstall all ADB Interface/ Android device -> reboot -> re-install. Refer to screenshot -> View attachment 3018860

Did you try latest google ADB driver while for XP try this one

Updates

- Built-in to porting tool

Temporary work around is to use the same technique at post #3 most bottom . . . :cowboy: When ask whether you have flipped screen, that is the time to delete the files. Binary files at Stock/recovery/rmdisk/sbin as listed below are safe to be deleted to save some space. List below starts with less critical to critical & i have absolutely no idea what will happened in the long run but definitely it'll boots.

Most of them are utilities for formatting the sdcard while at recovery. Try one at a time starting with Item 1, if still it complains about oversize then delete 1+2 , 1+2+3 & so on until it auto-install . . . :fingers-crossed:

Updates

You can also try tinypng.com the tips from EnerJon to resize all images at Stock\recovery\rmdisk\res\images to a much smaller size that might just be enough for it to boot PhilZ Touch on your MTK . . . :fingers-crossed:

Update info . . .

i donno why so many cannot see the Downloads, updated info here . . . :cool:

For ro.secure=1 solution is also at the same post & since you already gain root, refer to here . . . :good:

My experience is that you'll have to EXIT MTK Droid Tools first then start the PhilZ.exe or both will be conflicting using the adb shell at the same time . . . :cowboy:

Updates

To others facing the same problem & still you cannot make ro.secure=0 then follow the guide here on how to upload your boot.img & let MTK Droid Tools automatically make the boot.img to ro.secure=0 for you . . . :good: You can also let MTK Droid Tools automatically make & install CWM for you first then use PhilZ.exe to updates it to PhilZ Touch . . . :laugh:

WARNING

Be careful, wrong steps & you'll end up with a soft-brick MTK . . . :eek: Make a Factory ROM backup first, read & continue reading then only hands on !
