Any of you guys experience this ? I'm on ota 2.3.4 unlocked and rooted. Not sure if this is a result of being unlocked or on 2.3.4 as it's been a week or so since I charged when phone was turned off.
Before : Phone off, plug in charger, phone starts to boot into the green battery charging screen, and if I wanted to boot fully, then press power button and it boots.
Now: Phone off, plug in charger, phone starts to boot, but no green battery screen, gets stuck at first red Moto logo screen. Holding power button does not get it to continue to boot. Only way out is to unplug, take out battery, put battery back in, and turn on phone without it being plugged in.
Overall, not a big deal as I mostly charge with the phone on and can continue to do so, but wanted to see if any others who are either unlocked or on 2.3.4 have experienced the same issue. anyone?
funny. i just answered this question a second ago here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15538419&postcount=9
hope it helps!
I'm having an issue with my phone when the battery dies completely. I'm running Eclipse V0.6. When my battery gets down to 5% if shuts itself off like the battery is completely dead. When I plug it in and try to power it back on it gets to the Motorola screen and just sits there and wont go further. This happens no matter if its plugged into my laptop, jeep, ac charger, whatever. The only way to get past this point is to take my battery to Verizon and have them put the battery in a demo phone to charge it. When the battery has juice it powers up with no issues.
Can someone, running eclipse v0.6, try to let their phone die then see if it will power up when its plugged in? I want to see if its just my phone or what.
Edit: this is the second time this has happened. So I dont think its a fluke.
Do you have recovery mode still one? Go into fangs bootstrap and switch it back to charge mode.
The problem os that the phone will not charge during recovery(or so I have seen), because it hijacks the charge mode.
Hopefully this works for you.

problem is I can't get into the OS at all. cant get past the moto screen so theres no way to change the boot strap. only thing I can think is to get a secondary battery.
Try remove sd card, worked for me when that happened.

fixed it. removed the battery, plugged in the phone to the ac charger, before it started to boot I held vol down and power and got it into fast boot. from there booted into stock recovery and put the battery back in. then I simply rebooted from stock recovery and it worked.
Ok, I tried root, installing a new recovery and then installing CM 7.2
1) Photon Torpedo for root - no problem
2) Installed CWM recovery apk - and then boot into CWM recovery - no problem
3) Backup system to sdcard - no problem
4) install CM7.2 + gapps - it flashed no problem
(now as you can tell, i forgot to unlock the bootloader)
5) reboot - PROBLEM
I got the "Failed to Boot 2" error, i had it plugged into AC and had 70-80% charge when i started, however, i let it set after the reboot for 20 or so minutes, was off doing something.
I tried rebooting a couple of time, same problem
EVENTUALLY: It would simply not turn on anymore, i think the battery is drained and it will not charge being plugged into wall socket or USB.
How do I get it to charge?
- Do I find a friend with a photon running stock that i can put my battery in, will it charge that way?
- Can a sprint store simply charge the battery for me?
I figure once I can get that going, I can run RSD lite and recover via an SBF image.
Thanks
This has happened to me.. battery drains and doesn't whant to boot.. what I do is.. take battery out., plug in ur charger.(sometimes you get a white light,) press power button, YOU KIGHT HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES until the green light comes on..but once you see it put your battery back in.. and it should start charging.

When I say several times.. I ment unplugging your phone from charger, plug back in , push power button.. and again( until it powers on) not just pressing power button until. Didn't know if I specified well enough. Hope this helps.

i actually tried a different usb port a bit ago and have a white indicator light on now while plugged in... not sure what that means
I will try your way in a bit if this doesn't mean anything useful tho... thanks
K, am nor really sure what the white light is either.. I just know, on stock when you plugged phone to charge (being dead) green light turns on,screen Motorola logo shows then goes to a battery charging animation.. the white light did nothing for me. But hope you run better luck.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
after about 5 minutes i got a green light now... maybe the software for the battery charge display got whacked when i wiped system and tried to install CM 7 - but the hardware part of the charge works.
The only thing I can think of is that white means: i'm charging, but don't try to boot me up at the moment.
I also notice, once it gets a charge it tries to automatically boot - anyway to avoid this?
If its charging you should be able to just boot into RSD lite mode without the phone trying to boot into a ROM..

If the phone is off and u plug it to charge, it shouldn't boot into the ROM, yes the Motorola logo comes up as it does when u turn the phone on, but then goes to charging..
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Well, every time it boots i get the
"Failed to boot 2"
Something about NvFlash (can't remember the text)
"Battery to low to flash"
Then it is just stuck there, but not sure if it is charging at that point or not... but not sure if i have enough battery to RSD Lite an SBF image

Mine boots into *nothing* i forgot to unlock the bootloader so the rom i flashed gives me a "Failed to Boot 2" every time it powers on
K, let me power my phone off and kinda try to recreate the "not charging while plugged in" problem.. (sometimes it happens when I power off.) And ill see wich method gets the phone to just charging.. br
worse comes to worse, i know someone with a photon and i can ask if i can charge my battery in their phone
Just tried it.. and yeah phone wouldn't boot or charge by pressing the power button or connecting to charger.. but I did what I always do.. pull battery, connect charger, green light turns on, I insert battery, and goes to charging.. I also tried goin on RSD lite mode without battery inserted. And I got the same error about battery to low to flash. Have you tried this method I just wrote in this reply to get battery to charge?

Here are a couple things i tried
1) remove battery
2) make sure phone is not connected to charger
3) plug in charger
4) logo appears - says "Failed to boot 2"
5) as "Starting RSD Mode" starts, i have inserted the battery
6) I still get "Battery is too low to flash"
also tried tried with vol-up (Fast boot mode) and vol-down (NvFlash recovery mode) - and ultimately i get "Battery is too low to flash" no matter what
Thanks for the help, however.
side note: found an external battery charger for the photon on amazon for $4, i might just buy one.
Did u insert battery before logo appears? If so, then I am out of ideas, lol hopefully you can get it working soon.
Sent from my Mopho Cm7.2
I just tried something like that now. The charger is plugged into the wall outlet. Basically i plug it in, green light comes on, quickly snap the battery in place before logo appears
I get the logo and the messages at top as normal, but at that point, i don't think it is charging anymore
Lol darn it.. at that point am out of options.. sorry it didn't work.. btw how you forget to be unlocked lol.. anyhow I would go to your friends, borrow his charged battery just so you can get to stock, and start fresh, then return battery obviously, lol
Sent from my Mopho Cm7.2
Yeah i have to charge it elsewhere - i just read some other threads here about people messing up their boot with a "Failed to boot 2" error, the system simply will nto charge a battery at the boot loading screens... so, I bought that charger off amazon for $7 (including shipping), be nice to have it if i continue to fiddle with the phone.
for the next few days... people can't call me... whoop de doo. However, I am pretty certain it is not bricked, so i'm not freaked anymore.
Still, thanks for all the help you tried!
Could you post a link for that charger, I have a second battery I would like to be able to charge.
Lol.. well there u go,

the sound issue will have to wait.
i tried to cwm restore my atrix, due to bootloops after installing the 30 step volume mod in neutrino 2.91, while plugged into the charger, and it died on me. now my battery is dead, and it will only charge enough for it to boot up to the boot logo, then turn off, and repeat the same cycle.
any advice?
Wait, why do you get to the boot screen if you are trying to get into cwm?
Go into cwm and wipe and reflash the rom.
Or just plug it into the charger while the phone is off to get to the charge screen instead of going through boot

see, the thing is, i plug it into the dock, which is connected to the wall. the green led comes on and stays on. then, out of nowhere, it boots up, giving me no time to get into CWM.
i did it once, but then during the restore process, it died again.
and there is no charge screen. just the green led solidly lit.
Try to use a USB cable and a Wall adapter, maybe the dock is borked. Or try the other way around if you have a spare battery. Better to try than to wait for nothing.
New issue ..
Today i didn't have a charger with me so phone drained completely. Now it no matter how long i charge it it will not boot right.
This is what it is doing, two kind of behaviors:
1, when it is plugged into an outlet screen remain slightly lit, able to boot into bootloader, able to boot into recovery (once phone turned off itself in recovery..). when trying to boot into android phone hangs on LG loading screen and LG loading screen disappear as soon as unplug the phone from the outlet . LED light remain off while plugged in, it should be lit when being charged.
2, when it is plugged into a computer phone seems to boot itself, LG logo flashing on and off quickly seeming like bootloop.
I have flashed the rom again it didnt help.
Edit 1: fixed by factory restore

CWM supports charging your battery, so use the strongest charger you have (spec is 2amp charger) and leave it there for a few hours. the reason it flips on usb connection is because most usb is only 0.5 amp or maybe 1amp if you're lucky.
You should be ok gotta be patient though.
fixed

Yea you just have to leave the charger in for a while..mine did this...but you can also try this
Unplug the charger hold down the power button of 15sec and then put the charger back in (the red light should come on)
Then the screen will show the LG logo about two times and then the battery charging logo
And just give it a minute or two and power it up
The LG charger is 1.2a
