Hello...I just unlocked my bootloader and tried to CWM 2.3.4 using the new version of CWM by tenfar...I am stuck on the Motorola boot screen and my battery is too low to flash...I tried to pull the battery and put the phone on an ac charge but that did not work...any assistance is greatly appreciated
Hi,
Easiest solution is to get a universal charger from Radio Shack, $10.
Cheers!
Remove battery, put the phone in AC mode, then place battery in. It takes about 3-5 hrs to charge, then it should be okie. I met this problem too Solved that way!

. First off nice job digging up this dead corpse. Of course he found a solution. Know what it is? Dont use Tenfars recovery anymore because its completely outdated and will cause problems. As far as being able to charge yer phone are u trying to plug it in to a computer? Because if battery dies it wont work to plug it in to the comp.

No solutions on here yet?
Well, this is what I did, not sure if it will completely work yet, but so far it's doing it's thing.
- I plugged the phone into the charger adapter
- Booted the phone without holding volume down
- let the phone charge itself
- monitor battery level with volume buttons
Once that was done I could continue, as phone does not charge during flashing.
Or am I way off here?

I need help with this NOW if anyone can. I figured I'd go ahead and make a thread for it so it would get seen. I was trying to update to 2.1 and something went wrong. Long story short the battery drained and now even when it's plugged into the wall all it does is flash its little red light. If I can get it to charge I think I can get things working again but as it stands I don't even know if it is charging. If I have it plugged into the wall and remove the battery the led turns green. If I put the batt back in afterwards it will go off after a bit and eventually "turn on" (in this case that just means that the screen comes on but is completely black but backlit) but there is no led indication at all so i don't know if it's charging or what. It doesn't seem to be. I really need help asap. Thanks in advance.
Silly question perhaps.. have you tried putting it into flash mode for SEUS (phone off hold back key, plug in USB cable)...?? does it register the phone?
Open pc companion hold back button and insert the micro Ian until it says stop it should then tell you your software is already the latest but if there's a problem you can use the repair option. Hth

Tried it just now, nothing.
My suggestion would be to plug it in for a few hours then try again. Or take battery out completely and try the back button without a battery. Might work. Might not. Sorry. Doubt the phone is bricked tho.

Just out of interest how long have you left it on the charge for? Because the red light flashes while charging until 10% and I remember once when my battery fully drained it did that for a few minutes until phone turned on again. Leave it for a while if you haven't done so.
The reason I ask is, incase you saw red light flashing and took it off charge straight away thinking its faulty? Like I said it sometimes takes a while to turn on fully when battery has died.
Edit: I know this is unhelpful, but that's why when you update via SEUS it says to ensure battery has 50%

I got he same problem 3 weeks ago. i could not get the phone to boot anymore even after trying all the unbrick method available here. so i sent it to sony ericsson service and they changed the motherboard.
okay, been charging for a while now and still have the red light. Pretty confident it isn't charging.
Plz try another usb cablr. I know about 20 people whoms usb cable accidently died and the phones cannot charge anymore ....

But the phone won't even boot. Will the battery charge while it's off? or when it's on a black screen? I know 2.1 lets it charge when it's off now, but the OP said the update screwed up.
Other suggestions that may take some time:
1. Find someone else who has an X10 and charge it in their phone.
2. Bring it to your phone provider and ask them to charge it.
3. Bring it to your phone provider and exchange the battery (temporarily?).
4. Buy an external wall charger (one that lets you charge the battery directly, not in the phone).
I ended up bypassing the phone and charging the battery directly via a macgyvered usb cable. Don't ask. lol. But I got it charged enough to use the se update tool and restore it back to the original rom. I'll try the update to 2.1 later after I get this thing charged all the way up. Thanks guys.
I have a white galaxy note on AT&T rooted with saurom 7.1 and for some reason when I use my USB extension with the original or after market charging wire the phone will not charge, in fact it still uncharges while I'm using it but it shows it plugged in.
It's not the rom because it did it before I flashed it from stock and also on the ICS leak and now again on saurom 7.1. Without the extension though it charges perfectly normal and quickly. One day it took 6 hours to go from 2% to 13% while it wasn't in use. I've also tried using other extensions I have and the one identical one did the same thing and another shorter one actually didn't allow the phone to charge at all or show it was plugged in... What gives?

I would recalibrated the battery using a app that requires root in market.....wait till it hits 100 then recalibrate it....then let it drain all the way down....charge to 100 then do it again....this way the battery and system knows the true values...just my opinion I would try

Are you plugging into a wall outlet or a USB port on computer. There are a number of battery threads on here, but the quick recap is that the USB port on your computer isn't going to charge your Note very quickly or at all when you use it because the USB port doesn't provide enough power.
It'll charge much faster from the wall.
And even faster if you're not using it.

From the wall with a USB extension it took 5-6 hours to go up 12% without it, it goes to 12% in 5-7 minutes. This is without using it.

I had the same problem with my note, it wouldn't charge via data cable or factory charging cable or 3rd party cable. After speaking with Samsung they said that this is a known issue, but did not tell me what the issue was except that it did not affect the battery. They sent me a new device, and was instructed to use my original back cover, battery, and they sent me a replacement factory charging cable and was instructed to use it exclusively. I got the feeling it was a port/cable issue and that they were well aware of it with an efficient return policy set up. Maybe you won't have to go this route, but a free (new, not reman) phone is a free phone.
Symptoms:
1. Hitting power does nothing
2. Power + down volume does nothing
3. Plugging into AC power = no green light
4. Plugging into USB (computer) power = green light (which stays on after unplugging)
I have:
1. Tried battery and SD card pull while plugged in and not plugged in
2. A friends BH5X battery
3. Leaving the battery out for an hour
4. Leaving it charge via the Motorola AC adapter over night
I am out of ideas. Something else that may help... when the phone died I plugged it in (AC) and it rebooted to the recovery menu. I hit reboot, and since then it will not power on... or charge apparently.
Even with a charged battery it wouldn't boot?

Had a coworker charge my battery in his Droid X to 80% before he had to leave. I don't know what his battery was charged to in his phone, but I tried his as well with the same results. Does it have to be charged to 100%?

If the battery worked on your coworkers droid X then its not your battery. Which means its hardware or software related. Were you running any roms or anything or were you completely stock?

Yes, it should. Or if you had bootstrap on there (which you should if you flashed stuff) it would boot into that if you turned the phone on when the phone was plugged in. Its really hard to say what it is when your phone simply died of low battery and now wont boot. I'm just as stumped as you right now since you pretty much tried everything I would have.

Does your computer recognize the phone when you plug it in? You said the light comes on when its connected to your pc. If you can get adb running you can try to reboot the phone using adb.

No, and it will not power on... just green light... which stays on even after disconnecting it from the usb.
I did some more googling and reading. Then came across the Factory style programming cable.
So you flashed your phone and now it thinks the battery is dead (even though it's not) and it won't let you flash it again to fix it? Or, your battery really is dead and you don't have a way to charge it because your phone is soft-bricked and won't charge the battery. What do you do?
With this cable you don't even need a battery in your phone. This is our clone of what is generally referred to as a Motorola "Factory Cable".
Unlike a normal USB cable these cables are wired in a way that compatible Motorola phones recognize as a "factory" programming cable. This allows the phone to power up and be flashed without having a battery in the phone. Depending upon the model of the phone, it may also boot up differently than it does with a normal USB cable.

If you can get to bootstrap why not just use a card reader throw eclipse or some rom on your micro which should have come with an sd adaptor and just reflash from bootstrap?

It won't power on at all... that's why I need the factory cable... it doesn't require a battery.
Well, I finally got that factory programming cable. That didn't power the phone on either... it did power on my fiancee's droid 2 with no battery in it though. I figured the phone was completely hosed (also noticed the battery bulging a bit), so I got a warranty replacement. Since I couldn't even get it to boot with the programming cable I have no doubt VZW will not waste any time trying to repair it... at least I hope that's what they will do.
If a lithium ion battery begins to bulge it can be dangerous if not replaced. This is rare but with these batteries if one were defective it could reach 1.5V per cell during use. This would render the battery unchangeable and its discharge would cause the copper plating to create a short circuit in the cellphone.

Yeah I chucked that battery and got a new one. Thinking that's what killed my old phone.
I've seen on a few scattered threads about some people having let the battery die during recovery and having to get the external battery charger or try the option that I am trying.
I am wondering if anyone has actually stripped a usb cable, and taped the positive and negative ends to the batteries + and - ends and allowed the battery to charge that way so you could RSD without getting the "Battery is too low for RSD" message? Some threads aren't specific about how long to keep it on for a decent charge or even if it worked so I just thought I would ask, I believe I gave it enough charge to start up, but I wasn't sure how long I should leave it on there.
Thanks in advance!
All I know is you can fry your phone and battery like that
Could try a verizon store, ask them to charge battery for you
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Yeah, I've heard of people charging using a stripped cable frying their battery after only a minute or two. There's no way of telling when it's done that way. I agree. Try charging it in another X2 or a Droid X....Same battery. I have used my dads original X to charge this thing. Worst comes to worst go to a verizion store and see if they will help you out...

Hi! My XGO is not charging after flashing an incorrect kernel via CWM. After the flash, it stayed on (with black lit screen) until (i guess) the battery drained and now if I plug it into the charger that came with the phone, it just shows red led, then the led disappears after a couple of minutes. The phone cant enter flash or fast boot modes, cannot hard reset too.
I am just looking for a way to charge the phone's battery manuaaly i mean without the cables that came with it so I can find out if I can enter fast boot or flash mode or even turn the phone on.
Is it an option too remove the battery and charge it using a wall charger? Because the battery isn't charging at all.
Help!!!
anyone? pls?
First off the phone using hold the power+vol up button until vibrate 3 time then try to flash another kernel using fastboot or if you dont have enough battery dont do it....

hi thanks for the advice; however I cant flash any kernel or tft if I cant charge the phone. I cant do the hard reset too. The only indication from the phone is the red led (solid) that goes away after a couple of minutes. Any other advice?
