My Motorola Defy got stuck with a Red 0% Battery Icon and would not budge - at all!
It has taken the adeptness of a Kundalini Yoga Master and Zen Programmer who has reached near enlightenment state to gain any traction on a solution.
Im still NOT out of the woods and need some suggestions. Here is what I have done so far …
VITALS:
- MB525 JORDAN
- Green Lens (SOC)
- Froyo 2.2.1
HISTORY:
- Éclair to Froyo update via T-Mo update
- Rooted > SuperOneclick (no problems)
- Has worked flawlessly, even though its been dropped a few times. Screen has facial wounds to prove it.
WHAT I DID SO FAR: “TricKs”
- Got into recovery mode and reset everything.
RECOVERY:
> (note: charging cord is initially unattached to power)
> Hold down Power Button and Volume (-) Button simultaneously and plugin Charging Cord
** used power outlet switch to make easier** (GE 52149 Handy Switch Grounded White)
> Depress Volume (+) and Volume (-) simultaneously to get into RECOVERY MODE.
RESET:
> Select > Wipe data/factory reset to RESET back to STOCK.
> PLUGGED Phone with NEW Fully Charged Battery into PC USB Port.
I went and bought a Rayovac Battery to replace the ones from Amazon I was using.
** charged NEW Battery with external charger ** (Yiboyuan AB-09 Charger)
[NOTE] Things didn’t work until I plugged my phone with usb cord into my PC USB port.
BYPASS MOTO BLUR:
> enter “eebluroffee” at start up when prompted to activate MOTO BLUR. Long hold menu button to access keyboard. Works like a charm.
CURRENT STATUS:
- Phone Calling Works! :-]
- Internet Worked initially, currently NO longer works. ;-[
- Capacitive Button HOME and SEARCH Keys DON’T work.
(Never had a problem before, ever)
(Have to use BACK Key to move through menus)
- SUPERUSER App is in my APPS tray.
- Installed apps (apk’s) I had on my SD card (32GB) no problem even apps with root privilege.
I think my problems started when I started accessing apps off the GOOGLE PLAY App to re-populate my phone. I don’t know if this corrupted my Google Apps (GAPPS) or what and now I have lost internet privileges from GAPPS.
Any thoughts, ideas, would be most appreciated.
I have NOT flashed any SBF’s or GAPPS mainly because Im not sure which ones I should use and also I have never done it before and don’t want to mess things up any more than they are.
