I installed a script onto the atrix rom that I was running and apparently the 2 did not play well together. After I installed the script with script manager and rebooted the phone would not get past the motorola boot screen. I proceeded to download the GB SBF and try to sbf back to original. during the course of this the sbf failed and i had to download a different copy. the phone was still in RSD Lite mode and I didnt know how to get out of it so I figured i'd just remove the battery. I know, not the best thing to do, but I did it.
now the phone will not even turn on when the power button is pushed. I have it plugged to a wall charger right now to see if the battery is dead. but it just sits at the motorola screen so I have to wait to see if the battery will charge and let me get back to rsd lite.
Any Idea what pulling the battery when the screen said RSD Lite caused to go wrong?
My phone did that when the battery completely died. Let it sit for a bit then pull the battery. Plug it into the wall without the battery and see what happens. Hopefully you boot into recovery.

i did the same thing. i am downloading sbf ginger bread now. if you pull the battery and plug into ac charger it should bring back rsd mode. per mistawolfes instructions. it did for me.

it wont get into recovery. like it said it wouldnt get past the motorola boot screen. I did get into RSD lite mode again. I plugged the phone into the charger with the battery in so it would charge. before the screen automatically comes on i held down the volume key and the power button and it went into fastboot.
it also says that the battery is low, so that may be my whole problem.

I had a similar issue and the battery will not charge when in that state. I took a $30 hit and bought a battery at VZW store... Went home, put in new battery, SBF'ed and was good to go.... If my dog hadnt chewed up the box while I wasnt looking, I would have taken the battery back.... But at least now I have a spare battery and anytime I am going to flash or try anything a little squirrelly I just charge one battery all the way, take it out and make sure I have atleast 50% on the one in the phone.... It gives me a kinda warm, fuzzy, sense of security....
They DO sell external battery chargers for this battery type. You can get one of those at walmart or grab a new battery like dag

When it sits and spins @ the eye, pull the batt.. then hold vol down+pwr to start it back up , let go when ya see fastboot, press vdown till ya see recovery, press both v+v- when ya see the adroid press v+v- again. Do a factory reset. Then reboot youll be fine.

When unseen recovery u only need to press volume up to enter.
YES DO THIS IF U MADE IT TO DROID EYE!
No need for crazy stuff if u can factory reset from stock recovery u should be just fine.
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..

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..

Well, every time it boots i get the

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,

Hello, I've been using my old x2 as my PDA/MP3 player. I also have put custom ROM on it because... It's fun!!
What's not fun is my locked up phone, here's what occurred... I tried to sbf my phone and received an error flashing (had all correct Motorola drivers/rsd lite. So as it failed and never even cleared out my phone I decided to use my iso boot disk instead. The disk came up, ran normal, said flashing was complete..... nightmare began....
Now I cannot boot into recovery New/old. I can't boot the phone. I can't do anything. The phone starts, I get the Motorola dual core screen (can't hold volume keys to get to rsd/fastboot/etc. The phone will get to the point of booting but will come up with screen which says...
"Failed to boot number 4"
"Starting rsd....."
Then when I go into try anything rsd (iso disk or rsd lite) the phone will either shut off right away and loop sometimes to same screen. Or it will come back when plugged into pc saying battery (which is fully charged) is to low to flash....
I'm going crazy...
Are there any other restore tactics?
I can't erase battery stats because I have no recovery... I've always followed instructions and flash roms for nearly every manufacturer of phones over the years. I am stumped....

First, make sure the battery is charged up. You can't RSD without at least 20% battery. Simply plug it in and let it charge, then try again after about an hour.
Also, make sure you are using the correct SBF file. It could've been a bad download, or worse you flashed one for another phone.
I've had nothing but trouble RSDLite and personally only use sbf_flash. So using the iso boot disk is recommended by me.
Yes, I agree that rsd lite will never again be the way I go. The disk had been much handier. Only problem is that I was out of disks, I was also without my CD in the office. I have done plenty of rsd reboot/reflash. Didn't expect this which is why I then went, got my CD, tried again.
Strange thing is the disk is what brought the issue I have at hand to light. So...
I really appreciate the insight for future occurrence avoidance.
How would you suggest fixing problem at hand?
The battery is full charge... It's that 2.3.5 battery glitch still coming back to light. The battery should be full. Now I end up in that strange loop, I don't even know if my battery is now charging or not...
Ugh... I really wish I could figure out exactly where I went wrong as well.
Thanks again for the response!

So you still only have access to RSD on the phone? Or did it accept the SBF? I'm thinking that you flashed another phone's sbf file.

Yes, if you could re-read my first post for sake of my key stroke would be great. The phone does not boot I'll try and snap a quick pic with other phone and show what happens. This is only thing which happens in a complete loop... can't get into new or old restore/bootstrap. Can't get it to load any of the basic rsd menu options. If I plug into pc it tells me battery is not charged enough. Or just shuts down with disk or boot CD. It's insane!
It's most definitely the RIGHT folder. All of my phone have their own nearly organized files. None of them flash the same way. Droid X2, HTC EVO 4G, Galaxy Nexus..... Yeah, I know the files ok but good thought!

Have you tried to turn the phone off, put it directly into RSD mode then run RSD program with the correct SBF file?
That's the problem, I never can "put" it in to rsd mode. I start the phone simply by plugging it in it automatically boot into that loop. Nothing I've found will load such as restore, boot loader, etc.
When it says it's going into rsd, it either turns itself off when in that phase and I start rsd. Or it will give me an error stating battery is not charged enough (it's got a full charge, already tested with multimeter)

If you got a spare charger around can jerry rig it. If you know what im talking about. If that don't work with the battery issue then if your under contract I'd go get a replacement. Do it by phone as they will not check your device once you send it back.
I've got plenty of spare charger...
What do you mean "Jerry rig" though?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Cut the end off that plugs into your phone, then use the ground and hot wire inside the power cord. Put them on the correct ends of the battery without touching the others, can tape them to it then put the battery back in the phone making sure the wires don't move or touch anything else. Then have the one with wires on your battery plugged into the wall, the usb from your phone to your computer then turn RSD on your phone, then try to SBF it. If you still get that arrow do the other option and call and get a replacement. Ive saved a many of phones doing the jerry rigging of the charge. But if it works and you can SBF then when the steps are complete undo the wires and walla.
I like it!
Let me get some stuff together and put this to the test!
I'll post my results!
Thanks!

This is the EXACT thing that happened to me about to weeks ago when trying to SBF back to 2.3.4, a task that I've done many times.
I got the "failed to boot" etc screen that you have. Basically I kept trying to SBF (it still wasn't working) and eventually I got the "battery too low to flash" screen.
Since the battery wasn't actually charging at all because of this weird boot screen, I had to drive down to my local RadioShack where they had some device that would charge ANY battery. It was sweet, AND they let me use it for free at their store. So they popped my X2 battery in and I went to the nearest bookstore to get some work done. Came back two hours later and my battery was charged.
But that's all besides the point. Basically what I did to fix it was I kept trying to SBF and eventually it worked. I downloaded another 2.3.4 sbf file to make sure (even though I've used the same file many times) and I even downloaded a 2.3.5 sbf file and began "alternating" between the three in rsd lite, hoping that one of them would "catch". Eventually I believe my original 2.3.4 file caught and my droid was back to normal.
Sorry for your troubles! This problem sucked and it freaked me out a lot when it happened. But I think you'll be fine. Don't worry too much about it like I did!

I have had problems with my DroidX2 not staying charged while being plugged-in to the a usb port on the computer ... I had to use a usb wall-wart for consistent chargeing.
So, if your battery is haveing trouble staying charged (or not) try connecting it to a usb wall-wart and let it charge for at least a couple (~2) hours.
Also, how old is the battery? (I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with you issue, but it could affect chargeing and battery-life)

The following steps can also be seen here -or- see the original sbf/rsd instructions (note: the sbf files are not available at this time)
key instructions at step #10:
With the X2 in a completely POWERED DOWN state, press and hold the volume up button on the top right hand side of the phone. While still holding the volume up press and hold the power button until the screen turns on. At the top of the screen you should see "Starting RSD protocol support" once this text appears you may release the volume up button.

I have a rooted Droid RAZR (spyder) and I installed cyanogenmod on it. There was a gapps error and I deleted everything off of it. I didn't know the screen was on and just black so the battery drained. I have put it on the charger all night and it still holds a 10 second charge. I have the stock ROM on my desktop and I want to flash it via ADB. The problem is that it will not let me get into recovery mode then the sideboot thing. It just shuts off. Please help!!! I want to know what to do!
EDIT- When I plug it in, all it shows is the Motorola logo. It's been 4 minutes since I plugged it in the wall.

You say that it only holds a ten second charge, how have you determined that? You see the motorola symbol then nothing, or you are watching it shut itself down? You charged it with a wall charger correct?
So you cannot get in to stock recovery? Or you cannot get into custom recovery? This is a xt912 right?

It is approximate, the 10 seconds. When it is on a wall charger, all I see is the motorola logo. When connected to my PC, I see the Motorola logo, then nothing. A white (sort of) flash comes on, that is how I know it shuts off. I can get it in to stock, but not for long. I deleted the custom recovery when I deleted everything. This is a xt912.

At this point I would suggest you try to make sure it is off, and let it stay on the wall charger to charge for a couple of hours.
The motorola logo showing means that the bootloader is working but since you don't have anything for it to boot up, it can't do anything.
Download matlgrof's script utility for the xt912 while you are waiting for the phone to charge. If you can get the device to charge, use his utility to reflash fresh xt912 firmware and you will also be able to root it. then install safestrap 3.65 or 3.72 (whichever one you have.) If you had backups you will be able to restore them. The phone being charged is very very important with matlgrof's tool, if the battery goes dead while it is flashing, it will brick your phone.
If you can't get the phone to charge, then you will have to make/buy a motorola factory cable, and flash xt912 firmware via
RSD Lite.

At this point I would suggest you try to make sure it is off, and let it stay on the wall charger to charge for a couple of hours.
The motorola logo showing means that the bootloader is working but since you don't have anything for it to boot up, it can't do anything.
Download matlgrof's script utility for the xt912 while you are waiting for the phone to charge.

When I have it on the wall charger, the logo stays on. When I try the power+volume down it shows back up... will this have any effect on the battery?

So, if the phone is off, and you plug it in, the logo comes on and stays on? Have you tried power volume down without the charger plugged in. My device always gets hinky if I am trying to access stock recovery with anything plugged into usb port, I have to access what I want, then plug the phone in.

When ever it is off and I plug it in it turns back on. Isn't there a charge-only mode?

Generally it should stay off. I guess try to leave it alone for a couple hours and see if it will charge. You are using a stock motorola data cable and not some cheap walmart one right?

When I was charging on my pc, there was a white light. Does this mean anything?

Charge the phone with a PC will take forever to get a decent charge. You will have to do it with a wall outlet and a regular charger, and it will still take hours.
I had same issue. Just leave it charged for a good while. Then, while still plugged I into charger, he hold power+vol⬆+vol⬇. When menu pops up disconnect then connect it to computer via USB to run whatever recovery tool you choose. Also the white led is no big deal. Just get a good connection with the charger and let it charge for a while
