[Moto G General] Landrea:
The device is not recognized by the computer in any way.

WHAT ELSE COULD I TRY? <3
[Moto G General] Boss442:
You are sure that you have battery on the phone?
[Moto G General] Landrea:
Yes, of course I have.
[Moto G General] pirast:
Next time don't use the Motorola warranty (void if bootloader is unlocked) by contacting Motorola but use your

EU 2-year guarantee by contacting the seller:

http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/ecc/consumer_topics/buying_goods_services_en.htm

If you are in the first 6 months, he has to proof that it was your fault that the device is bricked...
[Moto G General] ManBearrrPig:
have you tryed:

-plug it in the wall

-hold power button 2-3min

-leave it charging for an hour

-unplug it

-hold power button for 30seconds

-it should boot

hope it helps..
[Moto G General] Landrea:
Thank you. I hope there will be no next time...

I've already tried near everything.

I think it's definitely hard bricked. Good bye Moto G, good bye XDA :''''''(
[Moto G General] Boss442:
So, in that case, your phone is really broken
[Moto G General] Landrea:
And there's nothing I can do?
[Moto G General] SbM_:
Could be costly, but you may try and find a new motherboard…
[Moto G General] bookworth:
Open the case, connect regular USB charger directly to the battery. (+ to + and - to -) Wear goggles for your safety. Hold for 1 minute at least. Try to plug in the charger. You can get the pin layout from internet.

If the battery is under certain voltage, the phone will not allow it to charge. It can be bypassed using the procedure up.

Also, try different chargers. There are many reports that some of the chargers will not charge the phone in this state.

Also, the batteries in ebay are inexpensive. To change one you will need special screwdriver (google search will help you).

Also, try this: deep froze the phone for 20 minutes and then try charging, holding power button + Vol Down for at least 3 minutes (180 seconds, at least!). If it starts blinking, keep plugged in.

NB! DO NOT USE computer USB port, use regular charger.
[Moto G General] Landrea:
Thank you!

Could tell me more about it? I don't understand how to connect the battery to the charger (which charger? How?)

I wasn't able to find the pin layout too.

Thanks again in advance bookworth
[Moto G General] bookworth:
Landrea, go to some electronics repair shop, any of them and ask them to charge your battery directly. Any technician can do it. "Jump start" the battery.

Here more information:

I also recommend you not to use the USB port of your PC!

He talks about a usual wall plug.
[Moto G General] Landrea:
Thank you.

It looks dangerous and I'm definitely pretty bad at this kind of handy things...

I may ask a friend to do it for me, I'll let you know!
[Moto G General] helinhof:
That's what they did with mine and it worked like a charm, landrea should definitely try.
[Moto G General] Mustajab Is'haq:
Sadly I think the same thing that happened to Landrea has happened with me also.

My dad bought this phone for me last week, I was'nt using it that much since I was yet to get a micro SIM. I decided to charge this baby and turn it off until I get a SIM that fits in.

This morning I tried to turn it on, but nothing. It does'nt even vibrate. When I plug it in, only the white LED lights up, but nothing happens. Pressing the power button does not help. Can anyone explain this?

I am away from the country my dad bought this phone for me, so I really don't know what to do and I'm starting to worry about it.

Just for the record my phone is a Moto G Dual Sim 16 GB model. I forgot the model no. (It was XT something...)

Hope you guys reply. :(
[Moto G General] Triggeh:
You should really go on the motorola forums https://forums.motorola.com/hives/3ba9b2429c/summary if your still under warranty they should be able to help you..
[Moto G General] chairsz:
Leave your device plugged into wall outlet for 24-48 hours straight without trying to turn on see if that works
[Moto G General] Mustajab Is'haq:
The problem is that I've left the country in which I bought the phone. I don't know if Motorola provides warranty in other countries.

The phone had 79% charge when I turned it OFF. It never came back ON after that. I'll try to charge it with my 1A charger for a day to see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Moto G General] djpailo:
Could be a dodgy charger as well?
[Moto G General] Mustajab Is'haq:
That's unlikely as I have charged many phones and tablets with it. It is a genuine hTC charger that came with the Diamond II when my dad bought it.

I'll charge it with a different charger and check if it works.
[Moto G General] SbM_:
What are the ratings of the charger (volts and mA) ?
[Moto G General] Mustajab Is'haq:
Don't know the volts, but is 1A.

However, no need to worry about that. Thankfully, I charged it with a 0.5A Charger and it started up immediately and showed 0% charge. I've left it to charge till 100% and will use it carefully from now on.

Could it be that the battery got discharged while the phone was OFF?

P.S Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and support. :)
[Moto G General] SbM_:
If your charger was less than 5V, it probably didn't charge.
[Moto G General] Landrea:
I did it. They charged the battery directly but it didn't work. It's not the battery.

Ouch, I was really hoping it could work...

Btw thanks.

I left the phone at the shop, they're looking into it. I'll let you know!

I tried, but it looks like I am sooooo unlucky.

Well, luckily life has more to offer than phones :)

[Moto G General] g-wh122:
OK this may be a stupid question, but how are you trying to turn the phone on? You have to hold the power button for maybe 3 seconds until the screen comes to life.
[Moto G General] vhngu930:
He did that.
[Moto G General] denzel09:
Andrea you fixed the phone?
[Moto G General] maccboy2010:
Motorola seem to be taking there time with the global rollout for 4.4.4 this time around. I hope Motorola doesn't fall back to there old ways again :(

sent from Motorola geeeee
[Moto G General] Clarkiieh:
"And just like the battery... I was shocked!" Hahahahaha your real funny dude!!
[Moto G General] Landrea:
Hi :)

UPDATE:

The guy at the shop told me 4 days ago he sort out the problem, it's a not-better-said power issue, 48 euros to replace a thing and have it fixed. I accept.

Today I went to pick up the phone, when he told me "I've fixed it, it was a 20 cents stuff thingy" and he gave me it back FIXED and for FREE.

I was VERY VERY HAPPY, as you can imagine.

But when I get home and i plug it (it was completely discharged), nothing happens.

Washed my tears, I call him back and told him "It's not working!"

So, tomorrow I am going back to the shop to give "a shock to the battery" that should power it on (he says).

SUMMARY:

- Moto G suddenly dies

- Motorola wants 91 € to fix it because of the unlocked bootloader, I refuse

- The shop would fix it for 48 €, I accept.

- The shop give it me back fixed and for free

- The phone is still not working.

I don't know if this some kind of "boiling point" reality show, or I'm just unlucky.

I'll keep you posted as usual!
[Moto G General] Landrea:
UPDATE 17/07

I went to the shop again this morning, we tried to give this "shock" to the battery, without success.

Now, it looks like the solution is REPLACING THE BATTERY.

So, I've just bought a battery from Ebay (30 euros), and I must wait for it to arrive.

Keep your fingers crossed for me, again and again.
[Moto G General] bucapg:
:fingers-crossed: fingers crossed for you son! The moment of revelation is close ;)

I've been following this story for some time now and I have to say I really hope u get up and working your story is inspiring us all that we should never give up lol make sure u post a screen shot or a picture once your working lol best of luck
[Moto G General] gnayug:
Damn, hats off to Landrea for going through this :P

I'm afraid when you get your battery switched out your warranty will void for real, but good luck! :good:

All fingers crossed for you!
[Moto G General] Clarkiieh:
So.. If... Your phone works after the repair shop has swapped the battery and it works.. How much in the long run has this all cost? And could you afford not to have the phone for this long?

When your new battery comes make sure it has charge in it.. They should be able to do that of they have the right tool.. Most repair shops will..

Its just a simple amp checker
[Moto G General] Landrea:
Thanks for the support!

As Journeys say: "Don't stop believing!!"

Thanks! I don't surrender easily, I'm a perfectionist and I want to come to a solution, whatever comes!

I don't like to throw away a thing as it is broken!

The warranty is actually already void, the shop already opened it to try the charge the battery directly... So, I have nothing to lose ;)

The shop knows how to swap the battery, don't worry!

So far, I've spent 42 euros (12 to send it to Motorola + 30 for the battery).

If the new battery doesn't work, I could have a panic attack!

P.S. I managed not to have the phone for this long... My Xperia Mini Pro is still fascinating!
[Moto G General] Landrea:
As you can see from the attached picture, a big red "very-urgent" envelope has just arrived here.

It contains the Moto G battery.

Early this afternoon I'm having it swapped.....

The moment of revelation is sooooo close!
[Moto G General] Clarkiieh:

[Moto G General] Landrea:
UPDATE 21/07

3 PM: As the shop opens, I have the battery swapped. 10 minutes later the guy comes out the lab with the Moto G ON (I saw the white bootscreen, I'm sure of this) and running on his hands.

Many many many thanks to him, I take the phone back (off, because the battery was empty, he "gave just a little shock" to see if it would have worked).

Home -> plugged it -> NO LIFE.

6 PM: I decided not to broke it with a hammer and take it back to the shop. The guy "set the battery voltage to 3.5" (I don't know what that means) and tells me to try again.

Home -> plugged it -> NO LIFE.

At this point I blame my bad karma, I don't know.

It's frustrating me more and more.

"luckily life has more to offer than phones" -> you're right, but I don't think I deserve all this!!! :(
[Moto G General] bookworth:
Nobody deserves this. Sell it in ebay as display parts and move on with your life.
[Moto G General] helinhof:
Why not let it charge at the shop?

If you saw the white bootscreen do not give up!
[Moto G General] Clarkiieh:
Nope 16 GB with SD card better CPU.. And same 720p screen .. Said to be $169

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

Dur ERM.. I dont want to start flaming but.. Why didn't you say can I leave it with you until it has a decent charge in it...

Seems the more obvious thing to do lol
[Moto G General] denzel09:
Buddy, so problem is not the battery? :(
[Moto G General] bookworth:
Perhaps you are right:

http://www.ibt-power.com/Battery_packs/Li_Ion/Lithium_ion_tech.html

3.5 V is pretty empty battery actually.
[Moto G General] Clarkiieh:
Well I wouldn't accept a beer half empty.. I sure as hell woudlnt accept a empty battery if the whole thing was riding on a fully charged one..
[Moto G General] Landrea:
Friends, I took the phone back to the shop early this morning.

I ask them to fully charge the battery, and give it to me ON.

Tomorrow it should be ready.

Big hug for you!
[Moto G General] gnayug:
Phew, barely holding on to the edge of my seat to hear the outcome! Stay strong! :laugh::good:
[Moto G General] Landrea:
THE END - SERIES FINALE

I've just came back from the shop. Remember? I asked them to charge the battery and give me the phone on.

I entered the shop with my bag of hope, but it has been stolen pretty soon.

GUY: "Well, there's actually a problem with the phone. I charged the battery, but somehow it keeps going undervoltage as you insert it into the phone. I think there's a HUGE ISSUE with the electronics. Nobody can help you, unless you send it again to Motorola. I'm sorry."

He literally left the pavilion and hugged me, he said he was sorry for the time I lost.

I appreciated his sensitivity and decided not to eat his head in a macabre ritual.

So, I guess this is the end. Not the end I've dreamed during this two months of Odissey.

I really want to say thanks for your support, it has been easier with you :)

P.S.

If you want a screen, display, battery (is brand new!!!), grip shell cover, or other parts of my MOTO G, write me.

I'll put it on ebay, but I'd prefer to give them to someone of you ;)

BALANCE SHEET:

- 12 € to send it to Motorola

- 30 € new battery

- nearly two months without phone

+ rage and frustration

+ XDA friends

So sadly :(

My UK Moto G was dead for two days...fully discharged and i tried to turn on but..nothing.

I read on the internet about "shock", and it was a shock, it works for me.

Now I know, I never let my phone to discharge under 20%, just in case.

And on a RomanianForum, I told many times to everyone: EU don't cover software modiffication warranty! Don't hope! But, nobody belive me...now, I have the proof...but a sadly one :(

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horinius:
Hello,

I wanted to install CyanogenMod in my Defy. So I was following this page (beta. download. cyanogenmod.org/install) but when I tried to install the OneClick.apk, I keep on having the "Parse error. There is a problem parsing the package."

In case you ask me if I have enabled installing from "unknown sources", the answer is Yes. It's here:

Settings > Applications > Unknown sources

So I'm wondering.... is my Defy a real Defy? Or is it a Defy+ for European market but called Defy? Oh yeah, I'm in Europe and I've heard that some vendors would modify some models for European markets but call them differently.

So, how to tell if my phone is a Defy+?

Here are the infos from Settings:

System version: Version.34.164.3.MB525Blur.Vodafone.en.FR

Model number: MB525

Android version: 2.2.2

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-g050ccf2

And of course, if somebody can tell me how to install CyanogenMod in my phone, I'd appreciate a lot.

Thanks.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
MB525 = Defy

To install cyanogenmod, you have to:

Root the phone(search for framaroot)

Install 2ndinit apk(search Google)

Open app and install bootmenu

Search for this file:defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip and download it to the device

Flash the above file via CWM, acessible via the bootmenu (press volume down while a blue led lgihts up, while phone boots up)

Download and flash cyanogenmod from the thread in the dev section. Be sure to wipe data, system and cache from TWRP.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horinius:
Thanks for the reply.

So I suppose the OneClick.apk is supposed to root the phone but I can do it otherwisely.

What are CWM and TWRP?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlado3399:
Read All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide before flashing. You will understand a lot of things.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horinius:
I had. Not only had I read this "beginner's guide" before coming here, I had also read others like

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853672

http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2095264

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

But they are not really clear. Esp the so-called "beginner's guide". Inside it, there are a lot of abbreviations that I have no idea what they are:

I later gathered that CWM means Clockwork Mod, but what is MIUI? Multiple I(?) User Interface?

What is "to brick"? Isn't it rather "to break"?

What is BL7? That's where I stopped because according to the guide, rooting depends on BL7 or not. As I have no idea what it is, I'm stuck.

Some guides talk about One Click, others on eFuse. So confusing.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiegoxG:
MIUI Is the ROM project of Xiaomi, it's just a ROM

This is a brick

http://bodyshapestyle.com/wp-content/plugins/single-brick.jpg

So when you hear about a bricked phone, imagine the brick on the image above, that means, unuseful, broken

BL7 means bootloader version 7, don't pay attention to that for now while you're learning how to flash.

Search for framaroot.apk to root your phone like they said above
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horinius:
By ROM, I suppose you mean Operating System or Firmware.

In the guide, there are several places where it's written "CM7 or MIUI". Does that mean MIUI is an alternative to CM7?

Very funny, haaaa haaaa haaaa I know what a brick it.

To brick means to close or to wall with brick. There is this sentence in the guide "Thanks to this locked Bootloader, is really, really hard to Brick your Defy." in a user's viewpoint, why would I want to "brick" my Defy? That doesn't make any sense. I mean, if I'm reading the guide, that's because I want to root the Defy, ie to remove the constraint. To brick means to put in constraint.

There is another sentence: "... this ("this refers to Nandroid backup) is almost harmless, meaning you CANT brick your phone doing it, though you can make Android not boot and a new SBF or Nandroid would need to be installed."

Does it really mean what it's written? Using Nandroid backup has the intention to brick my phone??

No, don't get it! A brick is useful. A brick is not broken. I don't see the relationship between a (real) brick and a bricked phone as you defined it. You or someone have reinvented the meaning of the word "brick".

There got to be a glossary for "rooting phones" to give the meaning of all these meaningless words and abbreviations.

Right, this is the most important part! There is no way to guess if I have BL7 or not just by reading that guide. In other words, the guide is not self-contained. So don't get mad when a "newbie" asked some "stupid" questions -- the problem does not necessarily come from "newbies", but can come from others.

Yeah, I had used framaroot and I was asked to choose an exploit!?? Tried Gimli, screen displayed "Unroot done". Tried Aragorn, doesn't seem to work. That's why I wanted to go the "traditional" way to make sure my Defy is correctly rooted.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiegoxG:
Hey mate, you're the one getting mad here, take it easy, no one is judging you of anything,

So, you say a brick is useful, yeah, of course it's useful to place it in a building, but if your phone gets bricked you would place it in a building? Don't be that strict about the words, when a phone gets broken and unuseful it turns literally into a brick so why do you complain a lot with this? Sure, you won't want to brick your phone, the phrase "Thanks to this locked Bootloader, is really, really hard to brick your Defy" is just to give you confidence about flashing without being in risk of damaging your phone. (Almost all phones have unlocked bootloader so they can get broken easier)

MIUI and CM7 are two different ROMs, two different options, yes, ROM is a custom image of android that you can flash on your phone, there are a lot of ROMs for Defy including MIUI and CyanogenMod

Another way to root your phone is to download SuperOneClick for PC (zip file),

First activate debugging mode on your Defy, go to Settings > Applications > Development > Debugging mode.

Plug your phone into the PC and open SuperOneClick.exe, click the ROOT button and let the program do its job, your phone will be restarted twice, if it asks you to install busybox, say yes, and if it asks you to test the root, click no, and done, your phone will be rooted and you will see an app called Superuser in your phone.
