I'm trying to flash using rsd to fix one of my problems but my battery is to low to flash and the led disappears after a short time connected to usb. And its stuck at the boot screen when i use the wall charger so my question is will it charge while stuck at the dual core Motorola boot screen?
I believe you're gonna have to buy a wall charger to charge your battery or make some sort of modification to the cable

You should be able to charge your phone even when it is off.
When I turn off my phone, when I plug it in, I get the Motorola dual core boot screen and I can see that my phone is charging.
What happened? Did you screw up a bootloader flash or something? Even then, as long as there is still any working bootloader, you should be able to charge.
BTW, as mentioned above, wall chargers are cheap. Or if you want, you can go to a Sprint store and ask them to charge your battery for you. They have wall chargers there (or could use another photon). I have done this before once when I left my charger at home.
I think a Sprint store isn't a half bad idea. I hadn't thought about that before.
If i plug it into the wall it gets stuck at the boot screen (no battery status or any indication of charging just stuck at boot screen with unlocked at the top left corner) i have had it on the wall charger for six hours stuck at boot and several hours via pc usb the charging led stays white. No luck and when i set it for rsd it told me it has to low of a charge to flash anyways. I know i know the sprint store was the first thought to mind but they wont help me if they know what i was doing. Ill just ask the sprint guys to charge my battery and go from there. But what could have went wrong to the point that it wont charge by any cable?? Did i screw up something so bad that its not even worth the effort?

i was running button program and it got to 98% and stopped and turn red, did the recovery thing. Then the active sync stopped working so i turn the phone off to reboot it. Never came back on. So my question is, is it the battery that is completely dead or did i just brick the phone and i totally screwed.
thanks

When I was buying my phone from it's previous owner, he included a wall charger (1 amp mini USB) and said that if the battery were to ever go completely dead, it required the extra amperage to get it started again. I'm pretty sure you didn't fry anything, but you might need to charge it through the wall to get it working again.
The problem is that the Li-ion charge regulator requires an operational phone. Your phone won't charge before the 'flashlight' IPL/SPL screen.

WHo knows the answer to this question?
My new battery won't charge. I let the phone die/run out till it shut down. Now when I plug it in the red/orange led lights for approx 4 secs and shuts off. This is a new battery and I have no reason to believe it is damaged. I ran it for about 7-10 days. I had a similar issue with the stock battery a month ago- It ran out and I rebooted it till it wouldn't boot anymore to try to re calibrate the battery and it was almost impossible to get it to take a charge again. But with this one I'm not able to get it to take a charge, and apparently it's so low it won't boot the phone.
My Question- is there information that gets written to the battery? Could it be that the battery is reporting some type of bad information to not allow the phone to take a charge ? Anyone know of a possible fix?
FYI- I am able to boot the phone on my old stock battery so I'm not in real trouble. Thanks in advance.
Buy a wall charger from ebay and charge your battery from the wall charger.
Yea, sounds like your battery needs a bit of a jump start.
There are two ways of doing this,
1. As stated above get a wall charger and charge the battery up a bit that way then boot up,
2. If you don't want to buy a wall charger there is a way to give it bit of a charge by splicing a usb cable. Then touching certain wires to certain electrodes on the battery itself.
Google is your friend in case number 2. I don't want to give you any wrong info, I saw a post about this when I first came to xda, couldn't find it again tho.
Hit thanks if I've helped, and if you need help finding a tutorial to use the usb method let me kno, I will look for it again when i get home from work this afternoon.

Hi
I think my phone is a little broke,
It ran out battery last night so i put it on charge this morning.
was on charge by wall for 10 min to get some battery then swapped over to car when i was driving it turned off now when i try and charge it at work via a usb wire and cplug converter i just get the battery logo with the spining circle for a few seconds it flashes then goes off does this about 6 times then the screen just goes off and will not do anything
anyone know any fixes or has it gotta go to samsung ?
Thanks
Have you tried taking out the battery?
Please let us know if it starts working again.
tried that, its like its not getting the power it needs for thats first few seconds as the buttons at the bottom flash on then off again
With the phone OFF. Leave it charging for four hours using the supplied mains charger.
With the phone OFF do you see a picture of the battery showing how much charge you have when you plug the phone into the mains charger? How much charge does it show?
it comes up with the b attery with a circle logo init then turns off then comes back to that over and over again,
i dont have the proper charger on me just the usb wire and a plug to usb
Think getting somewhere, tried a mates battery that works fine, mates charger wont charge on my phone but will my battery in his, so i guess my micro usb port is broke :'(
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
There are more threads about battery charging than I have fingers, (and yes I have all 8 fingers and 2 thumbs)! I am not going to search for you for this exact reason. The predicament you are in is very easy to get out of! Use the search function, that's what it's there for!

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.
Hi all,
My phone cut out at about 10% battery charge earlier and wouldn't turn back on. I thought it was probably just bad battery stats. But now I'm home, even after an hour on charge (and 30 mins on another charger) the phone won't turn on. It also shows up as an unrecognised device in device manager.
Whats weird is that when I first plug the charger in, rather than seeing the blue battery logo, I see an unfamiliar green battery logo as attached.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? (Tried booting with the volume up and volume down buttons held)
It's also come at quite a frustrating time, I may not be able to reply until Sunday night as I'm off camping in the sticks for the weekend.
Thanks
Plug your charger and Try to keep holding the power button for 1 min.....maybe start

Sadly that didn't work.
The battery appears to now be taking a charge (300mA/h according to a USB multimeter), but I haven't been able to even get SP flash tools to recognise the handset sadly.

That is the conclusion I'm coming to, sadly there doesn't seem to be a UK stockist of the battery yet, but I guess in the mean time I can see if the seller will honour any form of warranty on the product. For now, I'm back on my old G3 and it doesn't even begin to compare. I loved my Elephone.
Bad luck my friend.....I have a samsung galaxy 2 and one day run out of battery and never awake again....weird things
I think it should be cover with warranty.....Is one year in China
Type a email to Elephone support and they must be assist you because the phone is less than one year in the marketing.
I hope you will have a possitive news from Elephone
Thanks, I'll let you know how I get on.
I have the same problem a while ago with the green thing logo while charging , I even try it on wireless charger but it has the same thing with the green logo of battery ...but luckily it charge normally with blue logo
I have seen this on my screen a few times when I ****ed my bootloader during flashing. Device ended up being semi-bricked. I could not flash via SPtools because my device didn't get recognized. I was able to fix it luckily!
Hi all, sorry for the delay in responding.
So, the first problem was the battery. You need to charge it beyond 3.8v I think to get the phone to turn on, probably better to get it to 4v so you have enough charge stored to use the phone. The phone can't charge the battery below a certain threshold (around 3.7v) so you have to remove the battery and use a lithium-ion battery charger (any phone battery charger), these are available for about £2 on ebay.
In my phone the USB port had also stopped working for data transfer. I tried changing the board with the USB port on to no avail.
I replaced everything but the screen in the end to get it working.
Are/were you on stock OS or had you replaced it with another rom? Just for a bit more clarity of the problem.
