So, I did S-Off yesterday, flashed the SU binary yesterday. Did NAND backup for good measure. All great and all.
Today, I wake up and phone is off. Realized I forgot to charge it. Plugged into charger, and orange light comes on, turns off for about 2 seconds, turns on again. 10 minutes plugged in, Pune won't turn on. Took out and licked the battery terminals. It has juice.
Noticed that now the light doing quick flash of orange quick flash of green. None of buttons do anything.
Any ideas?
Leave it charge for about 1 hour, then try to boot up. If you have a battery dock use that, if not just plug in and let it sit.
edit.....i just seen another thread where the phone doesnt charge while off, what recovery are you using? I have the twrp (TeamWin Recovery) and it is charging while phone is off.

The team win recovery. I did a crude battery test (licking terminals) and it should have sufficient juice to boot up
Unplug it and turn it on, its not bricked. But it wont turn on as long as its plugged in.

Weird, did turn on, but power button was weird. Had to push it few times. Booted up, shows about 50% battery

that would be my thread.
It was suggested on that thread that I use a different recovery (using CWM at the moment), but I see that the person who is having this same problem is using TeamWin recovery and has the same issue, so I'm guessing that it's not the recovery itself but some other reason.

I can confirm this happened to me last night and I almost **** a brick......the charging light would turn on then offf right away.....after 15 min of holding the power button, it turned on with the charging light on...

I think it has something to do with turning off fast boot. I checked it back, and it worked like it did before.

I bricked a 3vo before we had s-off and trust me you would know, when you plug into usb, ac, have a charged battery, or anything you get no indicator lights whatsoever lol glad its all good and working though

Now my phone all of a sudden won't boot into hboot. Yesterday it did but today it hasn't. And I have no system data so it just hangs at the splash.

It's because HTC won't allow charging with the phone off (trickle charge) due to the fact it kills battery cells fast and HTC doesn't like replacing batteries. Keep fastboot on in power menu and you will be able to charge with "phone off"...because it truly isn't off.....

I'm having an issue with my phone when the battery dies completely. I'm running Eclipse V0.6. When my battery gets down to 5% if shuts itself off like the battery is completely dead. When I plug it in and try to power it back on it gets to the Motorola screen and just sits there and wont go further. This happens no matter if its plugged into my laptop, jeep, ac charger, whatever. The only way to get past this point is to take my battery to Verizon and have them put the battery in a demo phone to charge it. When the battery has juice it powers up with no issues.
Can someone, running eclipse v0.6, try to let their phone die then see if it will power up when its plugged in? I want to see if its just my phone or what.
Edit: this is the second time this has happened. So I dont think its a fluke.
Do you have recovery mode still one? Go into fangs bootstrap and switch it back to charge mode.
The problem os that the phone will not charge during recovery(or so I have seen), because it hijacks the charge mode.
Hopefully this works for you.

problem is I can't get into the OS at all. cant get past the moto screen so theres no way to change the boot strap. only thing I can think is to get a secondary battery.
Try remove sd card, worked for me when that happened.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
fixed it. removed the battery, plugged in the phone to the ac charger, before it started to boot I held vol down and power and got it into fast boot. from there booted into stock recovery and put the battery back in. then I simply rebooted from stock recovery and it worked.
Ok, I tried root, installing a new recovery and then installing CM 7.2
1) Photon Torpedo for root - no problem
2) Installed CWM recovery apk - and then boot into CWM recovery - no problem
3) Backup system to sdcard - no problem
4) install CM7.2 + gapps - it flashed no problem
(now as you can tell, i forgot to unlock the bootloader)
5) reboot - PROBLEM
I got the "Failed to Boot 2" error, i had it plugged into AC and had 70-80% charge when i started, however, i let it set after the reboot for 20 or so minutes, was off doing something.
I tried rebooting a couple of time, same problem
EVENTUALLY: It would simply not turn on anymore, i think the battery is drained and it will not charge being plugged into wall socket or USB.
How do I get it to charge?
- Do I find a friend with a photon running stock that i can put my battery in, will it charge that way?
- Can a sprint store simply charge the battery for me?
I figure once I can get that going, I can run RSD lite and recover via an SBF image.
Thanks
This has happened to me.. battery drains and doesn't whant to boot.. what I do is.. take battery out., plug in ur charger.(sometimes you get a white light,) press power button, YOU KIGHT HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES until the green light comes on..but once you see it put your battery back in.. and it should start charging.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
When I say several times.. I ment unplugging your phone from charger, plug back in , push power button.. and again( until it powers on) not just pressing power button until. Didn't know if I specified well enough. Hope this helps.

i actually tried a different usb port a bit ago and have a white indicator light on now while plugged in... not sure what that means
I will try your way in a bit if this doesn't mean anything useful tho... thanks
K, am nor really sure what the white light is either.. I just know, on stock when you plugged phone to charge (being dead) green light turns on,screen Motorola logo shows then goes to a battery charging animation.. the white light did nothing for me. But hope you run better luck.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
after about 5 minutes i got a green light now... maybe the software for the battery charge display got whacked when i wiped system and tried to install CM 7 - but the hardware part of the charge works.
The only thing I can think of is that white means: i'm charging, but don't try to boot me up at the moment.
I also notice, once it gets a charge it tries to automatically boot - anyway to avoid this?
If its charging you should be able to just boot into RSD lite mode without the phone trying to boot into a ROM..
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
If the phone is off and u plug it to charge, it shouldn't boot into the ROM, yes the Motorola logo comes up as it does when u turn the phone on, but then goes to charging..
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Well, every time it boots i get the
"Failed to boot 2"
Something about NvFlash (can't remember the text)
"Battery to low to flash"
Then it is just stuck there, but not sure if it is charging at that point or not... but not sure if i have enough battery to RSD Lite an SBF image

Mine boots into *nothing* i forgot to unlock the bootloader so the rom i flashed gives me a "Failed to Boot 2" every time it powers on
K, let me power my phone off and kinda try to recreate the "not charging while plugged in" problem.. (sometimes it happens when I power off.) And ill see wich method gets the phone to just charging.. br
worse comes to worse, i know someone with a photon and i can ask if i can charge my battery in their phone
Just tried it.. and yeah phone wouldn't boot or charge by pressing the power button or connecting to charger.. but I did what I always do.. pull battery, connect charger, green light turns on, I insert battery, and goes to charging.. I also tried goin on RSD lite mode without battery inserted. And I got the same error about battery to low to flash. Have you tried this method I just wrote in this reply to get battery to charge?

Here are a couple things i tried
1) remove battery
2) make sure phone is not connected to charger
3) plug in charger
4) logo appears - says "Failed to boot 2"
5) as "Starting RSD Mode" starts, i have inserted the battery
6) I still get "Battery is too low to flash"
also tried tried with vol-up (Fast boot mode) and vol-down (NvFlash recovery mode) - and ultimately i get "Battery is too low to flash" no matter what
Thanks for the help, however.
side note: found an external battery charger for the photon on amazon for $4, i might just buy one.
Did u insert battery before logo appears? If so, then I am out of ideas, lol hopefully you can get it working soon.
Sent from my Mopho Cm7.2
I just tried something like that now. The charger is plugged into the wall outlet. Basically i plug it in, green light comes on, quickly snap the battery in place before logo appears
I get the logo and the messages at top as normal, but at that point, i don't think it is charging anymore
Lol darn it.. at that point am out of options.. sorry it didn't work.. btw how you forget to be unlocked lol.. anyhow I would go to your friends, borrow his charged battery just so you can get to stock, and start fresh, then return battery obviously, lol
Sent from my Mopho Cm7.2
Yeah i have to charge it elsewhere - i just read some other threads here about people messing up their boot with a "Failed to boot 2" error, the system simply will nto charge a battery at the boot loading screens... so, I bought that charger off amazon for $7 (including shipping), be nice to have it if i continue to fiddle with the phone.
for the next few days... people can't call me... whoop de doo. However, I am pretty certain it is not bricked, so i'm not freaked anymore.
Still, thanks for all the help you tried!
Could you post a link for that charger, I have a second battery I would like to be able to charge.
Lol.. well there u go,

I just installed CM7 this morning, and I am blown away by it. I downloaded the one that was on the CM7 page, the patched one. I try to boot into BSR, and my phone shuts down, then I have to power up again . I can't get into BSR at all. Is this known issue? Also, does the build prop script and V6 work on CM7?
Phone is connected to charger when you try to enter BSR, correct?

You need install apk, install recovery and plug in (not usb) and set recovery mode. Once recovery mode is set leave it. You can thereafter plug in and PWR OFF (do not reboot).
Never set charge mode as you will leave yourself unprotected .

Well, seems to me it's kind of a double edged sword. If your battery happens to go dead when it's in recovery mode, you can't charge your battery. Yeah, I know it's something that can be avoided by not letting it go dead but how does that old saying go? Something like stuff happens. People should be aware of that.
I have the orig 1.5 A battery and 3 of the 1.9 A atrix ebay cheapies w/ a holder /charger that came w/ em. Don't enter bsr w/o a charged battery

The RAZR guys came up with a handy feature called CWM on boot, it basically allows ur phone to boot into CWM every time it boots up. Why would you want to do that? Lets say you flash something to your phone and it results in a bootloop, upon the reboot it would go right into CWM where you could simply restore your nandroid until you can figure out the cause of the problem. You dont need to leave it active at all times though, you can activate it when you're getting ready to flash something and then deactivate it once you confirm what you flashed is fine.
Think it would be possible to do this on the GS3 and if so how many of you would be interested in such a feature?

Nobody wants CWM on boot?
I suppose it could be somewhat useful, but if one gets into a reboot loop, one could just force a shutdown, or pull the battery worst case scenario, the boot with the home and volume up buttons pressed to go into recovery. One less thing to set before and after flashing that way, and nothing new or additional to do.

I hear you...but with CWM on boot it would automatically go into CWM in the event of a bootloop.

Nope. Pull battery and then boot phone by holding volume down(it is either volume up or down. I think up is download mode. New to samsung so i dont have it all memorized yet) while holding the home button and power. Boots right into recovery.

Actually this is not such a great thing.
Just this morning I realized that my other phone (evo shift 4g) was not fully plugged in overnight and did not charge. In fact the battery drained completely.
Here lies the problem: when I plugged in the charger cable it booted into recovery mode and this would not allow the battery to charge. I couldn't shut the phone off because as soon as charge was applied through cable it would boot into recovery.
I don't know if this is device specific or not, but if it weren't for someone else at work with same battery, I would have had to purge my boot partition just to charge, and hopefully been able to restore it afterwards.
So unless this is addressed and something like a power check is done at boot, I will never return to using this recovery. (First thing I did when I got home was to replace recovery)

CWM is beyond well known for having charging issues.
On the rezound with CWM if you let your phone die, you couldnt recharge it. You had to charge your battery in another phone just to be able to boot to charge.
