What do you mean by "a little"?  The motor test is supposed to spin the motors for a short period of time each in succession, with a regular delay in between.  If you motor is starting an stopping intermittently, then there is a problem.

They run for a little time, short period of time. Just 2 motors spins. All cables are OK. So what's problem here?

No, it is not.  On a level surface without any motion or vibrations, and motors not running. The lines should be flat.

What's wrong so? It's flat surface, no motion no vibration

As to why a single ground point in high current systems, google "power supply design"

English isn't my first language, I sometimes have difficulty get my thoughts across.

Yes, that's not my problem, see my last 3 comments. It's further than that problem. I have seen those pages and obeyed all instructions there already

Ok, folks.  With so many people seemingly having these flipping problems, I would like to use this discussion to focus attention on the issue.  I don't rule out software or hardware problems, but it can cause by your particular configuration.  

Please post the logs, downloaded using the Mission Planner, Terminal->download logs function, that they can be analysed.
