No, it doesn't. Nothing happens.

connect device to pc and press windows+R and type devmgmt.msc and look for "QHSUSB_DLOAD"

Do you have Motorola Device Manager on your PC? If not, install it.
With your phone plugged into the wall, press and hold the power button to see if you can get any response. If not, press and hold the volume down for about 3 seconds, then without releasing the volume down, press and hold the power button. Keep both buttons pressed together for about 3 seconds and release. If nothing happens, press volume up and see if you can get into bootloader mode.
Had you downgraded to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4?
If you can't get into bootloader mode, your only hope other than paying for a repair is this thread here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/orig-development/bootloader-tool-motoflasher-t2959081. do check any changes in the device manager when your phone gets connected. Any exclamation mark in the device manager while you connect it under usb ports? try changing usb cable and pc and ports.

If it "died" right after you hit install and still connects to PC I doubt it's dead. Try pressing Volume Down and then Power Key, hold both for more than 2 Minutes (yes, more than 120 seconds!) then release both and see if it reboots (which it should if your problem is what I suspect) or you can turn it on again or enter bootloader.
Was the 4.4.2 you tried to upgrade to 4.4.4 modified in any way? SuperSU installed or any changes to system files?

I can't see any changes in the device manager because 5 seconds after i plug in the phone, it "disconnects" so i have no time to check.

I think what should be focused on first is getting juice back in that battery. Plug it in to the charger and let it sit for a few hours (like, at least 8 hours). It may boot loop but maybe it will still get some juice? (not sure about this..). Then you can try again to get into Flashmode. (Are you experienced in flashing stock FTF's with flashtool?)

You only have to push the volume down button and plug in the USB cable.
Don't press the power button!

it doesn't work either it only vibrate 3 times
So you can't connect in flash mode, nor in fastboot mode?
Has flashtool worked in the past? If not or if this is the first time you use it, it could be due to missing or wrong drivers.
i used the flashtool before using flashmode however i never tried to use the fastboot.
Will google the tutorial regarding in fastboot and feedback as soon as possible
Press and hold the backside off button till 3 vibrations.

Yes. I broke the charger connector thing in the phone. I had it repaired and it was working. I honestly think the place that repaired it messed with the phone to get more money out of me.
They fixed it and when I took it, once it ran out of battery it started to do the same thing again. I cant figure out what it is.

your solution is not going to help because its a hardware problem and pc companion wont help since the phone wont even boot up
in a similar (or worse) problem :
was just using the phone when it hangs .. Instead being smart and patient, I tried to hard-reset it .. the screen goes dark, my android wear disconnect .. but then I literally got nothing ..
tried to put it to the cradle, connect the USB to computer, no lights, nothing
fastboot mode : volume up + connect USB, no lights, nothing
hold power button : no lights, nothing ..
the phone feels cold, so the procs seems to be sleeping ...
any ideas ?

When did the change in button routine to enter download mode change? I recently got my hands on an exynos s10+ and I found that the button routine change must have happened recently because all the guides on rooting still say to enter recovery/DL mode using [vol up - bixby - power].
How are you supposed to trigger recovery mode during root process now?
Any and all help is appreciated.

Question Tried Factory Reset from Standard Recovery Screen

Holding Power & Volume Down beginning screen says Bootloader Unlocked Cannot Be trusted and then goes to Android Recovery. Tried to Factory Data reset several times, but keeps coming back to Bootloader Unlocked. I can not even tell if I am over charging or if it is charged at all. Can I get Samsung files from Samsung site to download? Which ones do you think would be best course. I just want it to be factory data reset. HELP! My recovery screen pics are attached.

Why are you holding vol down? Holding vol down and power is the method used to boot to recovery. And once the bootloader is unlocked you will always get the nag screen saying it is unsafe. Ignore it. What happens if you just push the power button WITHOUT pushing vol down?

Then you need to boot to download mode, not recovery. Plug the USB cable into a PC and not the tablet. Turn the tablet off. Then, while holding both vol down and vol up, plug the cable into the tablet. You can download the latest firmware using frija.exe. Flash the firmware using Odin on the PC.

I was able to successfully download the firmware and flashed it with odin. The only problem now is odin indicates PASS! in green on PC and seems to be finished, but the odin screen on PC has not closed. The tablet downloading screen remains open with the progress bar all the way at the end. Should I hit exit or reset on odin on PC or alternatively select AutoStart in options?

I don't know. The Odin screen remaining open is normal. But, unless you unchecked the auto-reboot in Odin options, the tablet should have rebooted when it finished flashing. If it doesn't, I guess the only thing you can do is manually reboot the tablet by holding vol down and power for about 7 seconds.

I don't know. The Odin screen remaining open is normal. But, unless you unchecked the auto-reboot in Odin options, the tablet should have rebooted when it finished flashing. If it doesn't, I guess the only thing you can do is manually reboot the tablet by holding vol down and power for about 7 seconds.

I did uncheck the auto-reboot which the directions I had said to do so. So I just let it sit there for about 6-7 hours plugged into PC. I figured then there was no way it wasn't done installing so i unplugged from PC. After like 5 minutes or so the tablet came on with the beginning screen for setting up tablet. Now I just have to figure how much crap I really need on it. I wish I could get rid of Samsung Flow so I could use the tablet for Fan Duel. Thanks for your help. Have a good weekend.
