G+_Talky Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hey, I recently installed lineage OS and it went great, but then my phone suddenly shut down and now it doesn't turn on. I hope I haven't bricked my phone, so any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dexter Franco Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 What model is the phone? If you could still power it up, you would be able to put it into recovery mode to reset it or do a fresh lineage os install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Talky ! Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Dexter Franco it doesn't turn on at all. The only thing that turns on is the led when I plug it in to the charger. I have a moto g4 plus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 It's probably a dumb question, but have you checked XDA? I'm thinking one of two things: 1) The phone is already on and locked up. 2) Your bootloader is messed up and you're out of luck. If the first, there is probably a button combination to hard shutdown/restart - something like holding volume down and power for 30 seconds. If that doesn't fix it, you may just have to unplug it and let it sit for a day or two and completely die. Maybe ADB is still accessible and you can reboot from ADB command line? When plugged in does the battery ever fully charge? Most phones have some graphic to show charging when off and plugged in. Does yours do anything like that? If the second, I have no clue. I'd guess that it would require opening the phone up and connecting a serial connector? Beyond my pay grade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Talky ! Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Ben Reese Thank you!!!!!!!!! I let the battery drain, and I plugged it in and it started charging and after a minute or two it booted up. The only problem that I have now is that it restarts when I use apps, but a hard reset should fix that. Thank you!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Talky ! Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Dexter Franco yeah, the only thing about the phone that I don't like is that it doesn't have a removable battery. Thank you for the support btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
