I installed the 3G booster scripts from zeppelinrox, and now my phone won't go past the "dualcore" screen. (It seems that changing the I/O Scheduler does NOT go well with the Droid X2. So don't install the normal 3g script (use safe mode that he has now released.)) It's obvious I need to SBF my phone.
Now, it seems that, at that time, my battery died as well. And it also seems that the Droid X2 doesn't actually charge unless it's at the charge screen or booted up completely.
The problem is, RSD mode requires actual battery juice, and not a cable. It tells me I don't have enough battery to flash RSD mode, meaning I can't SBF. And because the phone doesn't charge unless in a mode that it can't boot to, I seem SoL.
It there another way to charge my battery (without an external charger)? Like a BIOS mode that accepts incoming charge? Or am I completely ****ed until I buy an external battery charger?
Super bad timing on my part. Gah. Should've been more aware of my battery...
Well, there's a way but it takes work. Cut off the end of an old charger place the positive side of the cable (the one with the white stripe) on the positive feed of the battery and place the negative (the all black one) on the negative feed. They'll be marked. To hold it in place use electrical tape and make sure you wrap it all the way around. It'll charge the battery and you'll be able to use in the phone but it probably wont allow you to charge from the phones charger again because for some reason, using an alternative charging source voids a Motorola battery. But at least you'll be able to get your phone back up until you get a new battery or just keep charging it the hard way. But, I know this works because I had to do it with my original X and Im not responsible if you blow up or catch your house on fire.

borrow a battery from sumone you know with either an x2 or an x. Or take 4 little wires and another lithium 3.7v battery and try to rig sum crazy ****
Trade batteries with someone with an X or X2. Tell them it's just temp until you can get your phone fixed. I wouldn't go off splicing wires and rednecking it because that just sounds dangerous.
Can u get to the stock recovery with power and down button if so I thought the phone charges in recovery but not sure 100% I've been reading slot on this phone
If you are on GB with System Recovery installed my phone has been booting into Recovery Charge Mode when powered off and plugging into ac charger. Recommend giving that a try if it works it will boot to a large battery charging icon.
good luck.

It doesn't charge in system recovery. I've tried :/
As for charge mode, It won't boot into it; it doesn't get past the "DUALCORE" screen...
Thanks for all your help guys, I guess the things I need to do is either borrow a battery (none of my friends have an X or X2..) or buy an external battery charger. Thanks again!

Does walmart have a compatible battery? New batteries tend to have some juice (like around half). And you could always return it and say it won't charge in your phone. Walmart has an easy return policy. Just an idea.

Thank you for the idea. I just went and bought an external battery charger and my phone is now up and running again.
I remember with my Droid 2 I was installing a ROM and my battery crapped out. So I went to a vzw store and I was like yeah I was installing this update from a notification i saw on the phone and my battery died. Can I use a battery so I can recover the phone? Less than a minute later she comes out with a new battery for me to use and just watches me go into CWR and flash my ROM 8). Gotta love how clueless those reps are.

Hey guys, was using my SII a few hours ago, and I put it down at ~48% battery life. I had it charging off the USB of my PC. I don't have Samsung Kies installed, or anything. I was purely just charging it, on stock rom/bootloaders/no-root.
I went to pick up my phone a few minutes after, and all the sudden the phone won't turn on anymore.
I've tried pulling the battery, I've tried letting it run through any power still in the circuits, by having the battery out for 30+ minutes. I tried the "pull out battery, hold power for 10 seconds, then pop battery back in," to no avail. I've tried download mode, I've tried using my old Captivate jig.. It doesn't seem to be responding if I plug it in(no heat.)
Any ideas? Going to bring it back to the AT&T store tomorrow to try and get a new one.. I really hope they don't give me any ****. -_-;
Update:
I went to the AT&T store today since they just got a new batch in. Unfortunately, my faulty phone actually wasn't a problem with the phone.. It was a problem with the battery.
Somehow, the battery shorted out the entire phone, and killed it. The reason why I suspect this, is that I asked for the old battery in the new phone they were giving me. Sure enough. That phone is now a brick, also..
Thankfully, they were nice enough to give me a different one and not shove the newly dead one down my throat..
So.. Not quite sure how that happens, but sure enough.. That battery is a Galaxy killer.

The only thing you didn't mention is using the stock charger to charge the battery for an hour or so. Did you try that? It could be a dead battery. And once the battery is critically low, your PC can't supply enough juice to charge the battery.

Yes, the USB charging mode on the computer sucks. Its easy to draw a deficit of power running off the computer. I had 8 percent and plugged in via USB and within a minute. Or two it was almost dead, fell to 1% in literally 5 mins. It was almost like it was pulling power FROM. The phone
The stock wall charger is 700ma IIRC. Most PCs can output only 500ma max (USB 1.0/2.0 standard). The 700ma is needed when battery level is really low. So, don't leave home without the wall charger.
I tried plugging the phone into the wall charger, to no avail.
Won't even show the charging screen, or get warm.
Bah! Hopefully the AT&T store will have new ones in stock tomorrow.
Bump.

That's surprising - did they confirm that the phones remained dead even with a "good" battery in?
The charger chip in our phones (MAX8922) has plenty of short-circuit protection mechanisms. (Battery prequalification mode limits current to 90 mA at extremely low batt voltage, and it also has temperature limiting.) So a shorted battery shouldn't have been able to damage the phone.

Indeed, we tried swapping the "new" battery into it. Both of the phones were gone. I never even thought it was probable. Maybe it was just a bad batch? Who knows.
Either way! New phone smell, is great. =P
So I had bought this phone off ebay and when I got it today I tried to turn it on, but nothing happened.
I then plugged the phone in and tried powering it on and still nothing. I tried charging the battery and left it alone for an hour and afterwards the result is the same. Basically when I plug in the phone to the charger, the phone's screen will flash a battery icon as if its going to charge for a split second and then go blank. And then it will flash the battery icon again and then go blank again and it will go on like this for a couple of minutes until the screen finally stays blank.
So as I said even though I leave the phone to charge for a while, it still won't turn on and the only result seems to be that the phone gets warm near the camera. Also I tried to see if download mode works and pressed both volume buttons and I get a brief flash of some words. After doing it for several times I saw it said 'Low battery, cannot download' all in red.
I searched the forum and tried leaving the battery out for a while and also putting it in the fridge to see if anything would happen but nothing. So can anyone help? Is it just the battery?
Could be the battery - if you are on good terms with a local ATT store, try going there and asking if you can borrow a battery from their demo device to see if yours will power up. That's the best cheap way I can think of to rule that out.
Other possibility is a bad USB port. My first device developed a failure at about 2 months - I'm actually on day 5 with my warranty replacement. There is another member here, Moustro I think, who also may have a bad USB port. He and I were wondering if perhaps there was a bad batch out there. I'm not sure what ATT's warranty policy is for items re-sold on eBay, but might be worth checking out...
yeah that does sound like it could be the battery boot loop, take some photos of the battery to see if it is the oem... if it is the oem try a stand alone chager

I live in Canada don't think I'd get much help from AT&T probably.
Also the battery is the original one and not a replacement. I left it unplugged for a few hours and just now plugged it back in and its the same battery icon flashing for a couple of minutes and then blank screen. No charging whatsoever. I tried different outlets and different USB ports on my notebook and its all the same.
I also have an Infuse and charging for that every by every method is just fine so its my SII that's messed up.
If it's any condolence to you, I just bought a brand new GS2 from the ATT store today. The battery was semi-charged when I got it, and when it ran out, I plugged it in and got the same thing you did. Battery is flashing, cannot power it on, even plugged in. I also got the red "Low battery, cannot download".
I spent the better part of 4 hours reloading my apps and email addys, and everything else to get my phone up and running, and now this.
I am going back to the ATT store tomorrow and requesting a different brand new one.
This is my 2nd GS2, because I destroyed my first one in an accident.
Just as dandrumheller was saying. I had simimiar issues where the phone battery would blink on and off even if the charger was plugged in or not while the phone was powered off. The only way I could get my phone to boot to prepare it for warranty exchange was to flash a rom through Odin. But if you can't get it into download mode this wouldn't work.
My suggestion would be to use a different battery. That would let you know if its a hardware issue or bad battery.
hmm...
I was able to to get it to power on last night with what little battery was left. I then plugged it into the USB of my Mac, rather than the charging wart. When I awoke this AM, I have a fully charged battery, and a working phone. I will let the battery run out again completely today and see what happens.
That's great news! I hope it continues to work for you
I would not let it completely run out. Our batteries don't like that. Don't go below 25 percent. I'm glad you got it working. I know you're relieved.

Anybody got anymore suggestions?? Can't get it to work no matter what I try.
Call samsung and see if they will honor the warranty? Don't know their rules, but in another thread someone suggested that sale of the phone does not void the warranty.

For what its worth I am able to enter download with NO battery. In fact I ONLY do it without a battery. I just hold both volume buttons and plug in the USB to my computer while not pressing anything else. Without battery.
Thought the OP said he couldn't enter download.... so if that doesn't throw it in download it's more than just battery.

Guys,
I tried this and it worked...
At a last resort, i put the battery on nexus to see if it will charge and DAMN !! it did,, so the battery was not the issue...so i grab a swab with little alcohol then clean the terminals on the battery and the spring connectors on the phone... and voila !!! started charging and keeps working perfectly.
It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you guys.
Glad you were able to isolate the problem.

Same problem
Flashing on for a sec then flashing off, buttons flashed too. Phone got hot around the battery. Couldn't have described the problem better
Took some alcohol, cleaned the contacts for the USB connector, cleaned the battery contacts, and booyah, got the charging symbol again! Problem was, I didn't use the phone for a month, it rode around in the front pocket of my laptop bag, and apparently got the contacts dirty. A little toothpick and q-tip fun later, and my phone started charging again. Thanks -

Really? I've had mostly HTC phones and we could run them down pretty low.. I've been running mine down past 10 and it's been fine.. stock battery.
I had the same problem as op. My last resort was to cut the micro usb end of a spare cable and connected it to the (+) and (-) on the phone itself. since the phone booted up, i knew it was the battery. Next, i did the same thing but (+) and (-) on the battery itself while connected to a computer. i held it in place for about 10 seconds. put the battery back in the phone and it started charging again. im sure it wasnt the safeat thing to do, but it worked. Maybe the dead battery needed some kind of jump.
btw. The wires you would be using are the the black and red. and i got this idea from

I believe these are different types of batteries. Not Lithium, but something else. I bought some spare batteries from eBay and the batteries had the same instructions... That it is not good to let them die completely, and charge then preferably when they still have 1/3 charge left.

hello,
i have a bit of a predicament here. yesterday, i was preparing to pack up my atrix as i am selling it. i was making use of fastboot - erasing system, user data, recovery, and so on. the long and short of it is this: i erased the custom rom on the atrix, and i also erased the custom recovery. i didn't realise the battery was low, and, well, it 'died'. when i plug the phone into a charger, it doesn't go past the red motorola logo, the green led doesn't turn on, and the phone doesn't appear to charge.
i cannot make use of fastboot to flash a recovery image, as the battery is always too low to flash. whenever i try and charge the phone, it doesn't get past the red motorola logo (as the phone has no rom installed, and the custom recovery image has been erased), and the green led doesn't come on, as stated above. if i unplug the phone from the charger - be it after an hour, or two hours, it turns itself off immediately. trying to charge the phone via usb yields the same result.
so, with that said, it looks like i will have to buy a new battery, as that will have a bit of charge in it, i imagine. i imagine te original recovery is long gone, and there is no other option but to buy a new battery?
Well, you could charge your battery on a friend's phone or a store, or ask a friend to lend you their battery.
Once you get a battery with a charge, fastboot a recovery, copy a rom zip and flash it

Agree his method.
Simple method. Take an old phone charger or USB lead. Cut of the micro USB end. Strip the red and black wires. Fasten red to the positive terminal and black to the negative terminal on your battery with some tape. Let it charge for a few hours. Unplug if battery gets warm. This should put enough charge into the battery so you can put it back in the phone and flash. I had to do this with my HD2

Or try this just to see... it helps with some battery problems. Take the battery out and plug in the charger. If it goes to a picture of a battery with a question mark... put the battery in and let it charge.

Sorry to hear about the battery issues. I've heard of alot of people complaining of the same problem. Most just went to Verizon and had them replace the battery but having a phone that dies and won't recharge would be my biggest worry (why is HTC letting these kind of issues happen?).
Some said they fixed the issue by throwing the dead battery in a Thunderbolt for a bit to charge it up. So if you cant find a fix, either have them replace the battery, or take it in the store and ask them to put it in a thunderbolt for like 20 minutes while you wait?
Sorry that I couldn't come up with a better fix for you. I wish you luck.
Honestly I'd take it back to Verizon and get them to replace/fix it.
I just read another post with a possibly fix. I will not be held responsible if it doesnt work or messes something up
Unplug charger
remove battery
plug charger in
insert battery (while charger is plugged in)
except i hit the power with no battery in it idk if it makes a difference but yeah..
^^^ worked for me

I wish I saw this before I paid $14 for the overnight shipment of my replacement.
Mine froze and died while playing a game, then would not charge or turn on at all. In fact, my extended battery was in when it died, and it wouldn't turn on with the standard battery either. When I got my replacement, I tried both and only the extended worked, so I had to go to VZ to get a replacement standard battery. My phone must've used some sort of battery ESP to kill the standard when it died.
Quick side rant and warning: 1. WhyTF am I paying for overnight shipping on a like-new replacement model of a $300 phone that died during normal use? Horse dookie.
2. If you do need a replacement, dont activate a 3g phone during the down time...it kills the SIM card and they dont send another one!
I think I can help
plug your phone into the charger and take off the back cover. Now with the phone plug in take the battery out and put it back in and leace the back cover off now you should see the orange light on the front come on. If this works hit the thanks button.
try the fix listed above and if that doesnt work a verizon store should be able to help you test your battery/phone and order you a replacement under warranty if neccessary
Me personally would wip out some split cables and force that **** on lol but yea batteries can be charged as long as some form of reasonable electricity touch the correct pins....
I had this happen once, my son ran it dead playing games. I think it must have over heated. I was using the extended battery and was able to put the regular battery in and it worked. I did give it a half hour to cool down first...

Alright so my Vibrant won't charge. I JUST recovered my phone from a brick, (I was having issues with the battery life on Slim Roms 4.0 compared to 3.9--in the middle of flashing back I accidently wiped my internal memory. As I was recovering it using Odin, my fat cat jumped on my bed and caught on my phone cord bricking it.) Flashed using Heimdall and was able to get my phone into working order.
Now, I placed Slim Roms 4.0 back on my phone initially after the unbricking to have something working on it, even though the battery life less than impressed me.
So I charged it like normal yesterday, got it to 100% and was fine and dandy with it working. (Still sucking up battery life like a vampire in a fat camp.)
So the update 4.1 went live yesterday, I flashed it immediately to that. The battery life was amazing! So I do the normal thing when I flash to a new ROM. Let it die completely before charging it completely. It's now dead and will not charge.
Symptoms;
I plugged in my normal cable for work (a cheap cable I purchased off of Ebay.) And up comes the round loading symbol. Followed by a darkening of the screen, followed by nothing.
One thing to note, is while it has it's loading circle on, the bottom buttons light up when I touch them.
My Steps;
-I attempted different USB ports since I charge through my work computer. No luck.
-I "borrowed" my co-workers USB cord and USB to wall plug. Attempted the new cable in the computer first. No luck.
-Plugged the borrowed USB into the wall charger. Same thing happens.
-Used my own cheapy cable in wall charger. Same thing.
-Took co-workers complete set and plugged it in in a different room. Nothing.
-Took out my battery, plugged in USB, placed battery back in. Nothing.
-Hold down the Vibrant buttons to get into Bootloader, it resets the loading circle and nothing more.
So now I'm sitting here wondering what to do. I do not have rubbing alcohol readily available, however since it charged to 100% yesterday I do not believe that is the issue, but I'd be willing to try if I had access.
Something you should know, I am using a Samsung Epic 4G battery in my phone.
-For those who might judge saying it is dumb, I have gotten 54 hours out of that battery on one ROM before, that is with texting, talking on the phone and installing apps. I'm fond of this thing, however I have my stock battery at home still.-
Any suggestions you guys have would be appreciated. I have tried things that I found on this forum and basic tech support to no avail. (I am at work so the things I can use are fairly limited. However cords are of no shortage.)
Alright, I unplugged my phone from being plugged into the wall charger for an hour and 3 minutes later it decides to turn itself on.. Not sure what's going on but I'm not going to complain.
So my question now is, can anyone explain this or help prevent this in the future?
From what I've heard draining a battery until it dies can damage it. But, I'm not an expert on that. It's possible that the battery needed more time to recover from the drain.

I had something similar happen when running lithium volt ROM. My battery completely died and the phone cut off (obviously.) I plugged it in the charger and it immediately tried to boot the phone up but it was bootlooping at the startup screen. I let it sit there for 20 minutes or so thinking maybe it is charging but as soon as i unplug the charger the phone cut off. Luckily I have an extra battery, popped it in, flashed a new ROM thinking that was the problem, turns out it was something to do with the ROM(maybe it needed a certain amount of battery power to boot up). My completely dead battery worked on the cm7 ROM I flashed, plugged in the charger and it booted up normally and started charging.

I had something similar happen when running lithium volt ROM. My battery completely died and the phone cut off (obviously.) I plugged it in the charger and it immediately tried to boot the phone up but it was bootlooping at the startup screen. I let it sit there for 20 minutes or so thinking maybe it is charging but as soon as i unplug the charger the phone cut off. Luckily I have an extra battery, popped it in, flashed a new ROM thinking that was the problem, turns out it was something to do with the ROM(maybe it needed a certain amount of battery power to boot up). My completely dead battery worked on the cm7 ROM I flashed, plugged in the charger and it booted up normally and started charging.

Oh so it could be ROM related? :/ That makes sense considering I just installed a brand new ROM. Thank you!

Yea it could be ROM related but it also could be a number of other things. Hopefully flashing a new ROM will fix the issue.

Thank you. I might just have to downgrade back to 3.9. It's almost a shame. xD
I'm going to test my old battery in this ROM just to make sure before I downgrade.
You need to use your Samsung usb charger, and wall adapter only. These two are the only ones that will actually work. I had this same problem and realized it was because I wasn't using the Samsung stuff. Even when pugging into the computer, use the Samsung USB cabe only. As for the battery your using... I wouldn't recommend it, no matter the fantastic battery life you must be getting.

Daw it's a fellow Samsung battery.
Thank you about the cable, I need to purchase another one anyways, mine at home seems to not be connecting very well. :/
ROM. some roms do that. it will not let you power up while charging if the battery is very low. you will get the circle and the battery symbol after. sometimes you still cant unless you pull the battery. happened to me many times
