PLEASE HELP! Moto Z won't power on at all/stuck on bootloop!

[harut2K]

Hello, recently my phone was having some serious battery life issues. It started with just draining fast, then it would turn off prematurely at 10%, then 20%, then 50%, then it would basically not run without a charging cable. My fix was to just plug in a power bank and keep it like that, and it was working fine for a while. Then I noticed it wouldn't charge with the stock charger. I would plug it in, worked for a few minutes, get to 100%, turn off, then go down to ~95% and die. So I was only using it with my power bank.



Today, I plugged it in as usual, and it just started doing a bootloop. Then it just turned off and refused to work! It won't power on with neither the original charger or the powerbank. Add insult to injury, there's this tiny LED notification light I had never seen before that's blinking. Now it's not blinking any more. I just plugged in the powerbank and NOW it looks like it's working. Oh no, was too optimistic, it's back at the rebooting thing. It's just the first screen for 5-15 seconds, goes black, then repeats. God I hate this phone,


So now it's next to me just powering on and off. Please help, I would appreciate it greatly!

It's probably that your battery is just done. I had similar issues to you. My battery would drop a percent a minute or less while in use, and was shutting down at 50 percent or so.

I just got the battery replaced and it's back to how it was new. I had a z2 play that was laggy and likely had freezing issues due to minor water damage. I'm so much happier with my newly refurbished Z. It's just a much better and smoother phone, period.

The batteries are like 10 bucks. Just need someone to install it. The Moto z battery replacement is rated difficult, so I wouldn't attempt a DIY unless you're an experienced phone repair person. :good:

Good luck!

Yes battery is SNAFU, ie. normal Motorola's quality control.
I have the wireless charging mod, that causes similar boot loop when placed on charger.

Great when you have pattern to proceed boot security and your alarm fails in morning.

I am about to cremate this POS phone and all its mods once my Sony cheap interim phone arrives.. will not even consider supporting the Motorola eco system by selling on eBay.
