So earlier today my home application died, so I tried sbfing my phone back to 2.2 (was previously running stock GB). After the SBf, my phone went into bootloop, and I'm pretty sure the battery died while looping. The phone is unresponsive, unless plugged into a power source, which it then shows the green charging light, as if it was charging while powered off. Any help restoring it would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to charge it in recovery for a while to get a charge then SBF back to stock?
Take out the battery, insert the battery, hold volume down (until it gives you a menu) and press power(you can release the power button but hold down the volume down until menu appears.
or if that dont work, try removing battery and do the button sequence with a wall charger.
Just rmemeber once you get to recover let it charge or you wont have no juice to do the SBF.
Thanks a lot, that did the trick I realized that I just needed to be plugged into a wall charger, my laptop apparently wasn't giving it enough power.

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!
Im not sure exactly what happened, but my phone was acting really crazy so I decided to go back to stock. I plugged up everything as normal and during the download via odin, it froze up. I waited and waited and nothing happened. I pulled the battery and now it won't boot or anything. I have it currently plugged into the computer with the battery in and it does nothing when i hold down both volume buttons. IDK what to do. Can anyone help!
Take out your battery and sim for 10 seconds or so. Put in your battery, hold volume up+down while plugging in your usb cable. Should put you back in download mode again for odin.

Last night I was using my phone and turned it on sleep due to having <10% battery life left. I tried turning it back on am hour and a half later and it didn't so assumed it drained, so I threw it in the charger but the battery didn't turn on. I left it in the charger over night. I woke up and tried turning it on but it still didn't budge. I tried letting it charge through both my macbook, my chromebook, several different cables and outlets, all for around 10 minutes each. My phone still won't turn on.. Nothing happens when I try to boot into CWM (volume rocker and power button hold method) I now think it may be bricked and I need to get it back to a working condition soon...
My phone is the AT&T SGSII (i777) running MIUI 2.3.7 1.12.30 (newest version) under the Siyah 2.6.3 (also newest version)
Is there any way I can fix this?? I saw somethings about these 'jigs' but is there a way fix it without using a jig and only using a computer? Can someone tell me what could possibly be wrong?? Please help me!!
*PS my macbook can dualboot into windows 7, otherwise my phone wouldn't be rooted
Hmm, LPM might be broken in MIUI.
Try this, I saw one person indicate that it worked:
Enter download mode by holding VolUp + VolDn when inserting a USB cable from a PC.
DO NOT try to flash anything - just let it sit there for 5-10 minutes!
After that, hold Power for 10-15 seconds until the device resets.
Again, DO NOT try to flash anything!
The other option is to find a standalone charger.
And next time - if it's at 10%, put it on a charger!

All the SGS2 i777 phones come with a plugin wall charger, why not give that a try.......
If you cannot find the charger, you can buy one for less than 3 bucks including shipping on Amazon.com

Good Luck!
Something similar happened to me, where the battery drained so much that the phone wouldn't charge. When I plugged it into a computer/outlet, it just power cycled because as soon as you plug it in, the screen turns on (pretty stupid actually) and full brightness shows your battery "charging". Due to the phone not being able to directly pull power from the outlet (from what I can understand, if I plug in a charger and take the battery out, the phone shuts off) it can't charge fast enough, due to the screen and soft keys taking up the charge. I may be wrong, but this is what I think is happening.
Only way I could solve this was to plug the battery into my spare battery charger which came with my two spare batteries.
The thing is I can't put it into download mode or even recovery. Whenever I hold the volume buttons together when I plug it into my computer to access download mode, nothing happens and the screen remains blank and off. When I try doing the same thing and also hold the power button also to access Recovery mode, nothing happens, and the screen still is off. Every once in awhile when I try turning on the phone (which is plugged into an outlet) the 'battery charging' screen pops up for a split second and turns off. I have plugged it into Several different wall chargers (all that are Micro USB including the one the phone came with) along with several different Micro USB to USB cables to try to charge in the computer. It's definitely not the chargers nor the cables because they work with other devices. I think my phone is bricked... DX
why don't you buy another battery and see if that works if it doesn't just bring back the battery.....good luck

If the screen EVER turns on it's not bricked.
I suggest leaving it plugged in to a factory wall charger (not USB) overnight.
Worst case you may need a standalone charger to put some "juice" into the battery. I know Staples sells a universal one made by Lenmar, but it's really overpriced ($50!!!!)
I use this and i love it. It comes with an extra samsung battery too.

If anything, head to an AT&T store and pop the battery out of their test phone and put it into yours. See what happens, sounds like there's an issue with the charger or battery.

Yup ran into that issue a couple months ago and just put it into download mode to charge. easy fix
Edit. I used a jig though.

Thanks for all the help! I ended up going to the at&t store and they told me the battery was defective. The guy was super nice and even though he saw my phone was rooted and had a custom rom he just told me that I probably should unroot only for the warranty but gave me a new battery for free anyway and was very nice about it. I also bought a jig just incase anything goes wrong again. But seriously, thanks to all of you!!
Im on a trip, and my battery died. When I got to the hotel, I immediately plugged in my tablet. As soon as it got to 1%, it started booting up, but because of how much battery it uses just to boot, it basically died a second or two after it booted up. Then, it repeats. As soon as it gest 1%, it starts turning on again, then when it gets to the lockscreen, it powers down. It's like a bootloop, but I can't get out of it :crying:

You try holding the pwr button for about 10 seconds or maybe longer when it's trying to boot? It might force it to just shut down.
There's a "forced Shutdown" button right by the SD card slot (it's colored yellow in my sgp561, maybe different for other sub-models). Press that button for 10+ seconds using paper clip tip or similar pointed object and it will shutdown completely.
Another possible solution is to plug the charging usb cable to a high current usb charger (4 amp+) that should be able to supply the energy demand at close to 0% battery charge.
Another option will be to boot into bootloader. Bootloader uses barely any battery. When it's not plugged in and off, press and hold power+volume down. Then plug in. You could try to do that while plugged in, but likely not to work.
I believe my phone is broken and I need to return for warranty repair. But wanted to describe it here and see if there are any suggestions and advice.
I was charging on an airplane and I tried "chopping" moto-action to turn on the flashlight and it didn't work. I thought that was strange so I disconnected my phone from the power and reset it.
It did not go past the boot screen. I tried holding down power + volume down and it enters the other screen, and I tried scrolling down to enter recovery mode, but when I hit the power button on that selection it goes to the boot screen and stays there again.
If I try to plug it in, it no longer even responds to pressing and holding the power button + volume down anymore, I have to unplug it for it to respond.
I have tried charging it from the wall, and I only use the motorola provided cord and block.
The phone, even after being plugged in and charging (the motorola symbol on the back lights up when plugged in to indicate it's charging), does not actually charge.
When I enter to the other screen it now shows 0% battery warning.
What can I do? I live in the US but this phone was purchased in the UK, so US motorola support will not help me. I'm worried I will have to mail my phone to the UK for repairs, and their live-chat is not active during the same waking hours as the US so I am using my backup phone, but this really sucks...

I guess the only thing you can try is to flash stock firmware on your device search the firmware on google according to your baseband and use adb method to flash it...
