Ok, this has been bugging me and I can't find an answer. Why do we need to plug in for BSR to work? I know it may be a silly question but I have wondered why for a while now, and why can't we plug into pc powr? I can get into recovery with my car charger but not with it plugged into pc
Sorry for such a trivial question...I can usually find answers I want but not this one...

I think its because the recovery hijacks charge mode, the mode that is active when the phone is off and charging. It shuts the phone off and when the charge mode starts the recovery takes over. If its not plugged in there is no mode to hijack

It hijacks charge only mode is the only info I can give ya. Don't know if switching to charge only mode while on computer will work tho as it may be a different type of charge mode.

Hi,
I've just become an happy owner of the Atrix since a week.
I'm writing to ask about a strange behaviour that's happening to my phone: my battery it's at full charge, and the phone is switched off. I plug the usb cable to the pc and to the phone, and the phone boot up himself. Not to regharge mode (the screen with the battery charging), but in phone mode.
Usb setting on the phone is set to none, and I've tried it also on a pc without the motorola software. Do you know it as a bug?
My version is 4.4.20.MB860.Retail.en.DE (Android version 2.2.2) and I've rooted the phone.
Thanks in advance!
hmm that's odd because it happened to me last night. but i plugged it into the wall, booted right into cm7. i will have to look into this. although its not a major issue for me in any sense.
This has always happened with my Atrix, i just assumed it was the way the phone was designed.
if anyone has experienced any differently, please let me know.
It's the same for me too. If the phone is off and I plug in the USB cable (either connected to a pc or wall charger) the phone boots up. I assumed this is intended.

I noticed this issue, where the Photon powers on by itself when i plug it into the computer via usb.
When the phone is off and plugged to the wall charger I get the battery charging image. But When the phone is off and plugged into the computer via usb, it powers on. Also With the usb plugged in and in charge only mode, when i perform a shutdown on the phone, it restarts right after completing shutdown.
I know this might now be a serious issue, and no one have probably come across it but same thing happened when it was connected to the PS3, i powered it off while it was on and connected to ps3 via usb and it powered back on. This could be some weird usb sending out signals trying to mount the sd card and in return it forces the phone to turn on, can someone please verify this on their phone, my brother has a photon i am gonna try this on his later tonight, just need to know it is on mine,
Well i confirmed with another Photon, it is the same issue, whenever it is plugged into a USB it turns on by itself, dont know if this happens with other phones, but it is weird

Same thing here and it is so annoying when I am just trying to charge it and it keeps booting back up.
does anyone know of a solution, i ll try playing around with it, may be something with usb debugging, highly doubt it though
Same here. I think it must be designed this way for some reason.
Does it turn on if the USB is set to 'Charge Only' mode? I think it turns on automatically by design in Phone Portal or Sync modes but it probably shouldn't in Charge Only mode.
soo when i plug my phone to connect to my desktop it says it isn't recognized with a code error 43. It wouldn't install the phone and it won't charge while it is plugged in. and when i used my wall plug to try to charge my phone from there it still didn't work. help?
What did you do to make the phone un-responsive?

well it all started as i was upgrading my psu from my desktop and i guess the usb port was loose and when my desktop was put back together the usb i believe wasnt charging and i didn't notice at that time so i left it plugged with my microusb. i come back from eating finding my phone to be really hot like insanely hot and it wont turn on at all ! then i researched and found this thread to put it in download mode and so i did. but somehow i got stuck at the download mode, so i had this crazy idea that if i removed the driver .. it might work and it would install it's software like normal.. i guessed wrong. i turned off my phone since i didnt want to waste batteries. after removing the the driver i noticed that i cant charge my phone at all .. like i have two different chargers and both didnt work, the microusb and wallplug w/o the usb. now my computer won't recognize my device and won't even install at all
I think I just had an aneurysm.
Ow.
I may have just thought of something. Just need to know if there's anyone that's able and willing to try it out.
Well if anyone reads this, can you get the usb prompt by holding volume up and power?
Cant get to USB mode. It just powers up with the battery and question mark, If you power up with unit plugged it you get a flashing home button.
Cant get anything to work

You cannot go into USB mode with a flat battery make sure its charged up first, plug in the charger or put on the touchstone and leave to charge overnight do not turn on until charged then to put into USB mode unplug the cable then power +volume up when USB symbol shows then plug in the USB cable

This is a know problem with all WebOS products. I experienced it with my old Palm Pre Plus. The only solution I know of is to replace the battery.

I just picked up a used atrix that the owner said wouldn't charge. I swapped a known good battery in it and was able to get it to boot up. Thinking the USB port probably need replaced I looked for damage but could not find any and all the water sensors are fine. It wont charge from AC or from my computer and I have tried with 3 different known good USB cables and 3 different known good wall units that provide at least 5v (2 were official motorola chargers). Oddly enough my computer only detects that the phone is plugged in if the phone is in RSD mode or fastboot mode. I used rsdlite to flash back the 4.5.91 sbf hoping that a factory restore would do some magic but still no charging or mass storage mode identification. Any ideas or do I need to get comfortable with a soldering iron?

same problem here, hopefully someone finds a fix.
For the heck of it i created an active usb cable and re did the auto unlock procedure and flashed epinters latest cm10 build. After boot the charge indicator came on but still didn't appear to be charging. Rebooted into recovery and factory reset then powered it down. I then plugged it into my tablets usb charger that outputs at least 9v and for the first time it went to the charge screen. Now it seems that it's able to charge again finally.

Google it. In a nutshell, an active cable is a cable that has the fifth micro-USB pin (which is normally unused) connected to the (+) pin.
