Hello, I was trying to SBF my Atrix AT&T when I got this message
Failed to boot 0x1000
Entering NVFlash Recovery Mode
Battery too low to flash
EDIT: I have flashed the alpha CM7 (and got no network coverage) then I tried to flash SBF (Gingerbread) but the battery was low (I didn't notice that).
I have done many searches, and want to decide what should I do now.
My questions are:
- Can I get my battery charged without buying a cardle charger ?
- Once I get into that NVFlash mode, is there any images that can be flashed to the atrix that can recover it ? If yes, please links !
I have really searched a lot and would appreciate any help also with donation.
Thanks folks...

1. You can try going to the ATT store and ask them to charge your battery or a friend who has an atrix to swap batteries, other wise you'll need an external charger.
2. No there is NVflash fix. Sorry.
Can you detail what exactly you did? Normally the hard brick is from downgrading via SBF/RSD (flashing 1.83 sbf over 2.34) but it doesn't sound like that's what you did.

Hi Guys,
I'm guessing that there's nothing that can be done but last hope!
Last night i was trying to update my Gf's Optimus One with little success using KDZ, got to the point where it wouldnt boot, so flashed the original ROM back to it, during the process after a few minutes it gave an error code and the Flash was unsuccessful. Thought' id' reboot the phone into Emergency and try the flash again - it errored pretty much straight away - Pulled battery from phone - reinserted it and now nothing!
The phone will not respond to power on, USB insert, etc Just completely dead..
Im guessing i know the answer already - but is there anything that can bring this back from the dead.... Seriously in the Doghouse!
Cheers
Paul

I bricked my phone the same way.
I was trying to flash the original russian Gingerbread with LGMDP and there was a cable connection problem... I chose to erase all data before flashing (EFS Erase ALL). If only mobile devices had BIOS...
No hope, unfortunately. You have to connect your chipset to a computer and manually write all data... Or send to LG Service Center. Just hope they'll fix it for free... (They can't detect how you wiped device's boot loader if all the flash memory is empty)

Thanks for the links - i was working my way through the second one at 3am this morning.. Yes - i've even tried Shaking it
The P500 community has produced some wonderful guides and looking at it seems like the device is almost impossible to Brick completely, just how this happened i havn't a clue, seems ive managed the almost impossible..
I'd more than likely be able to ressurect it if it responded to anything at all - but no power, and nothing when the USB is inserted, no vibration, no lights, no signs of life...
the phone may be under warranty, but ive got to dig out the reciept - and i cant even begin to think where that is..
Well anyway i've had to buy her a replacement today - ended up with a Samsung Galaxy Mini as they dont stock the Optimus one anymore. Closest thing i could find.
Cheers for the help guys - i guess next effort will be warranty repair.
dude pls try uninstallin all the lg drivers usb etc etc and then try it again...it happend to me but ive still managed to ressurect it so try this and after send it to warranty
Heeeeere we go.
long story short I messed up, here are the symptoms(spent 2 hours scouring the internet and XDA BTW)
SVF:108:1:2
Failed To Boot 3
Entering NvFlash Recovery Mode
thats after trying to enter recovery (vol-/pwr), alternatively I recieve a "Starting RSD mode" if I try to boot normally or try to plug phone in to charge.
Also, just tried (vol+/vol-/Pwr) received "Starting Fastboot Protocol support"
battery too low to flash...this presents a problem as I am unable to plug the phone in without it coming on....
All tutorials Ive found involve failed to flash 0x1000 or something of that nature, I am not receiving that message.
It never progresses past that. If anyone could point me in the direction of a good tutorial or even the thread that Im apparently missing it would be greatly appreciated.

Well i think you need to flash sbf file in rsd mode. The sbf should be on the version you had originally or higher (if you were on 2.3.4 so don't flash 2.2.2 otherwise you'll hard brick). I might be wrong so someone else should confirm me before you proceed with it.
Not to sound like a broken record...but I'm not sure that that's possible. I don't have the option to choose. Unless you ate suggesting that from the available options I listed above I make an attempt.

You say in this post that when you boot normally the phone says "Starting RSD Mode". Im talking about using this mode to flash sbf…you can search the forums on how to flash sbf in RSD mode.
Also you'll need to charge your battery some way(battery can't charge without going into OS) before you flash.

if you can get to working fastboot support you can probably recover.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501532
follow Alaq/ Uncle Cemka's method of flashing pudding via fast boot, I have recovered more than one phone this way, your going to need a way to charge your battery though, might have to buy an external battery charger, build a powered usb cable or cutup a cable and apply the + and - straight to your battery....you can search and find ways to charge your battery.
Also a little more info than just "Fail" would be helpful, did the RSD flash fail, is the phone just boot looping and going straight to RSD support or fastboot support? Error messages? it may not seem relevant but many of us have seen similar error messages and know different ways to get back to a working phone but we need more information from you to be able to help.
Also I have seen phones with the SVF:105.1:2 failed to boot error actually be accessible by RSD even when the screen did not mention RSD support was up...
You might need to strip the end of a USB cable and charge the battery directly. Another user posted instructions somewhere. I'm sure a quick google will reveal all.

Hi, I believe my MoPho is bricked and was just trying to see if there were any recovery methods so that I would not have to send it off and lose files I had stored on my internal SD card. My problems started after I left my phone on the charger. I came back to see that it was stuck on the bootloader screen and wouldn't go any further. I was running j0kersax's MIUI ICS build and hadn't had any trouble with the rom prior to this. I've tried entering fastboot, rsd, and android recovery through the vol down+power method, but when I do it always freezes; either while I am scrolling the menus or waiting for it to boot into one of the aforementioned modes. At one point I was able to get to fastboot, but when I attempted to enter it, an error message came up saying something like "the battery is too low to flash", so I attempted to charge it. However whenever I plug it into the A/C adapter it simply starts up and stays on the boot loader. So is it possible to recover or is my photon a vegetable now?
Maybe you should SPF back to stock. You can find the release keys anywhere. This video is helpful: :victory:

thanks for the suggestion, but I can't even get the battery to charge so that I can even attempt to do this. I've accepted the brick and I'm just going to go to Best Buy and order a replacement. Thanks again.
I have the exact same problem as OP. Right now, my battery is dead, so I can't flash anything to help fix my problem. My theory on how to get this working again is to charge the battery or borrow someone elses battery so there's enough charge.
Anybody think that'll work?

I've tried a battery swap and now it won't even power on. I've yet to order a replacement, so for now I'm on an Evo.
I am kind of having the same issue I tried to flash CM10 just a few moments ago and it wont flash!?
I have flashed CM7 to my Electrify before and was trying to flash over that. Now my battery is dead, I can't boot the phone at all.
What do I do!
Hi there all...
I jus finished flashing my Atrix 4g that was AT&T, was a bit of a pain realy used to the HTC lol.
well any way my friend dicided that he would do the same thing and unlock his that he just bought
along with the lapdock :S thinks he is a falsh git......
today he came over to my place threw the phone and lapdock on my bed an said iff i can fix it i can have it
asked what was wrong told me he had a power outage during the boot loader unlock.
Okay on to the problem i have with this phone now.....
firstly. when i plug the thing in to charge it turns on an goes stight into boot loader RSD option then
tells me that there is no enough batt life to flash the phone.
i carnt get this phone to charge so that i can start to try an recover this thing.. seems like he got a partial flash
done as the OS has been wiped when you turn it on (or plug in power) it always says failed to load...
any one got any advice for me please
You have 2 atrixes, so just charge the battery with the other one.. then continue the unlocking bootloader process

lol i thought of that to right after i made the post an my mate left with my Atrix lol

You can make a "motorola factory cable" it lets you use the phone with or without the battery. Search it up in google and follow the instructions to make one... I made one & used it a couple of times...

I then installed this rom on my phone and my Phone is now bricked! I can get into recovery and fast boot and all that but the problem now is that the battery is low and Apparently the phone doesn't charge while in recovery mode !?!?!??'. I know for a fact my battery is fine so that is not the issue. When plugged into wall I can turn the phone on but it won't go past the Motorola logo, I can make it go into recovery but as soon as I unplug it, it turns off. When I plug it into laptop it does not turn on so apparently the battery is not charging in this state? If anyone can help me I would really appreciate and would reward some how

That's a softbrick. You could try flashing another ROM while plugged in to a charger, or you could charge your battery first with an external charger...

I can't flash another rom because the battery is so dead that it doesn't turn on when plugged into laptop
I can't charge my battery because apparently the battery doesn't charge while in android recovery or on boot logo, and I can't leave the phone off because when ever I plug it in it turns on automatically and gets stuck at he boot logo or goes to recovery if I hold the buttons down. I know for a fact my battery and charger and charging port are perfectly fine because they were working this morning before I started this whole mess that I have been trying to fix for the last 11 hours.... Please help
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
You have to charge your battery first. Either with an external charger, another Atrix phone, or a jumper USB cable. The most important thing is that you said it still boots to recovery/fastboot. That means that it's not a hardbrick. Now you have to get the battery charged and flash another ROM (don't use RSD, just try CM9/MROM/Nottach or something else).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- I don't have another atrix or external charger does android really not allow it to be charged at the boot logo or in recovery? Is there any bypass to allow a charge?
- is there really no other fix for this? You might as well consider this a hard brick
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
- When you plug it in when off, does a battery icon show up? It flickers for a while and then goes blank but it does charge. The kernel does allow charging in recovery/off mode, but from what you've said, you got a bad flash. (Maybe the zip file was corrupt?)
- I haven't seen anyone getting a brick from this ROM per se. There might be some softbricks caused by bad flashes from corrupted zips (or compatibility problems), but as I said those are easily fixed by flashing the proper zip/another ROM, so there are no reasons to pull this release. Besides, this ROM came with a clear warning/disclaimer.
Assuming your phone still goes to recovery/fastboot, the boot.img flashed properly, so try point one above. There's no visual feedback for the charging process (still in the works), so you'll have to leave it plugged in for a while and try again later.
Above all, don't panic. Panicking cause reckless behaviour, reckless behaviour will make things worse.

No the battery logo never shows up,if I plug it in to pc a bright green light comes and the screen never turns on but it is not charging because I left like this for hours and the battery is still dead. If I plug it into a wall outlet the boot logo comes up and I can go into recovery. But still not charging
On a side note I have been looking for pc apps that will increase the USB power to trick my phone into thinking its plugged into a wall outlet "if that's what the issue is. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any
On another side note I'm wondering if I can use a memory card reader to put a stock rom on a micro sd card and flash my phone while it's plugged into a wall outlet through the micro sd card, unless you think the issue is the bootloader and then I ask you two questions. What makes you think it's the bootloade?r and is there any way to fix the bootloader from a Micro sd card or any other fix u can think of?
There is absolutely no charging being done, in pc always off but green light on, in outlet always on won't stay off but doesn't go past boot logo.
Also would like to add that I don't get that "failed to boot" message that is talked about in the other threads so this is a different type of brick
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
I was just about to suggest that. If you can get into recovery, copy the new ROM on your sd card and flash while plugged in.
That should work.
But no stock ROMs, you need RSD to flash those sbf files, and you risk bricking your phone for real. Just download nottachtrix if you want a stock experience.

But if the issue is the bootloader then can I do anything?
