Try pull the battery.
Conect your charge, and wait open screen, with Moto logos and no battery simbol.
Put battery in phone.
Waiting to charge.
Worked for me!

The battery isn't empty for sure, about 40% .
I can't get into RSD mode ... the phone is dead.

Did it, the result - nothing.
The phone just getting really hot and nothing is happened.
Is it dead ?

so, if you can see the green led you can flash your Atrix. Turn RSD first and then plug in your atrix with vol+ button, probably you will be able to run flash process with SBF file

Cant get AT&T RSD files

here you go, google won't hurt you

OK, i downloaded everything.
But i can't get the phone identified by RSD Lite on pc.
The phone just shows green led when it connected to PC and that's it.
Pushing the up\down volume key+power doesn't help....

Atrix is visiable in RSD n your PC?

NO

Buy an external battery charger. Charge battery then try again.

Why ? the phone should power up even without a battery when it connected to charger.

What can i do about this eBay seller that sold this wall charger with ATRIX and Defy in the item description ???
Only a refund?
He broke my atrix and my defy !

Charging a drained battery

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.

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?
Sent from my Mopho Cm7.2
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,

[Q] Question about x10's battery problem

So today, I am trying to wake my x10 again one more time and I try to plug my old x10 to the wall plug and it's not even charging at all. No red blink. Then, I try to plug to my PC and the red blink turn on, taking forever to charge. I did charge this morning before I leave to school and when I came home, it's still doing the same thing again. I don't know how I can fix or turn it back on like I did before. Please help and the charging problem too.

Did you try to wipe battery stats in order for the phone to refresh the battery percentage again? Did you try a different wall plug?

Yes, I did try the different wall plug. Also, I can't turn it back to recovery to wipe the battery stats because it start to take very long time to charge.

When im using Seus, it fails flashing in about 90% of the process... when booting my phone, just a quick vibrate with green flashes once. Do u have skype account? Hope u have time and can help me. Most of the links in xda our outdated. And i know my phone is outdated too. Thanks and more power

I really messed this up!

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.

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.

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?

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

This happened to me today. Last night I left my phone charging on my PC through the USB port. PC was off, but USB is still powered. Phone was on.
The next morning, after I woke up I noticed that when I pressed the power button nothing happened. I plugged the cable off my PC, then back on, and the led was staying lit up red. Nothing when I pressed the power button again. No fastboot, nothing.
Finally, I plugged the phone using the original Sony adapter to the mains. It showed the Sony logo and it started charging. At least, so I thought. After a couple of hours, I checked the charging progress and nothing, battery was showing empty. So I tried to power the phone on while still charging. It booted Android and it was showing charging, but 0%. I powered the phone back off, it immediately started charging and battery progress was about 80%.
My guess is that somehow battery stats files were corrupted/deleted. Luckily the phone did not get bricked. I am on Android 4.0 ICS.

It seems XSola has issue with this. My previous phone which is Xsola did suffer from this issue multiple times though. On my ex-XU (too) never had this problem and in my current XP i've had once.

how old is it ?
the lgs were known for battery just crapping out and bassicly going into a bootloop
you might try a cheapo battery first
I had a old Samsung stellar do a similar thing I had to jump start the battery with a cut off power cord wired into the batt and the phone once it charged some it would turn on.
if I ever let it drop below 10 % or so it would do it again
It is almost 2 years old. I read about jumping battery, but in my case, phone has an internal battery. I disassembly the phone and pull out the battery but I don't know how jump it

I don't know how, but right now my phone can start again in recovery and bootloader mode. Then dissassembled it, i plug out display from motherboard and plugged in to the ac. After a while it boot up again in fastboot mode and flash twrp recovery and see battery recharger !
