Hi there
one of my friends opened his droid razr xt910 and took off the battery by force. So, he cut the wire cable that is connected to the board.
he does not want his device and searching for a method to start the device to take his files without buying a new battery.
Is there any way we can force the device to power up without battery.. I mean can we use an alternative method to power the device?
I used Factory cable for doing this.
Anyhow I read that open the device and short-circuit cable wires and motherboard is quite simple
does the factory cable power up the device ?
I thought it is for SPF mode only or with RSD LITE

so i crack open quite a number of USB cable just to follow the guide in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403100
to save my Fastboot error due to the "Battery Low" message.
however, in my way of tweaking the cables, my phone died and the battery is totally out.
will the tweak works? or can anyone teach me how to externally charge the battery because i manage to crack open the back cover and take out the battery...there's no way to buy replacement battery near my residence atm. the nearest will take few weeks of stock arrival...so i need a quick solution to get my phone back up...
can anyone please help me?

thanks for your responds but however, as stated, I tried to build the factory cable but no luck as of yet, can give me any suggestion on which cable is easier to be built into the "factory cable" as instructed? i stripped a blackberry, htc, and samsung micro usb cables but no luck on getting them to work as factory cable...
i hav no extra Motorola USB cable so will it be worth the ripping?
I recently build a factory cable and used the original Motorola USB cable. If you have enough skills in soldering etc. try it but i must say its not easy because the cables inside are very thin and the contacts are also very small. If you fail you can simply buy a new cable search on amzon.com for "Motorola-SPN5504-SKN5004A-micro-USB-Charger".

If you have removed your battery you can charge it directly By stripped USB cable but you have to reduce the valtage 4 to 4.5 ,USB output is 5v and if you direct charege it damage your battery. If you can get assist from electronic technician simply you can make it.

I think building a factory cable is much more safe then try to remove the battery.
Just get a charger that does not exceed the values on the battery (eg. voltage and Ma) charge it for hour and so and your good to go

You use the moto factory cable to charge with PC. At first PC will pre-charge your RAZR. after charging fiinshed, you can flash your phone directly.If you need factory cable. You can PM me
Hi all,
I received Factory Cable two days ago and I don't know how to charge for my Motorola Razr.
Could you please guide me how to charge/use?
Not an expert, but I am not sure you can just charge with it. You can power the razr and use the cable to load an operating system with Droid Utility (matt groff application) that will allow the device to charge normally.
Like a week ago my S3 9300 was taking longer and longer to charge now it won't charge at all, now is always stuck at 0% if i turn it off it will charge but very very slowly, i don't know if it's the phone or the battery maybe someone here had the same problem and could help me out a little, btw i have it with CM 10.1 thank you

Had the same exact problem with my i9300, got it out of warranty repairs yesterday. Was using a custom rom, but the same thing happened when I finally managed to flash it back to stock (had to manually press the microusb-cable as hard as I could into the phone all the time in order to get the phone recognized while Odin was working, was the longest flash ever lol..).
Remember reading about cold solder joints etc before sending it off, so if your phone is out of warranty for some reason you could replace the charging port yourself. Replacement part costs ~5$ (eBay) and if you got the skills it shouldn't be too hard to replace.
EDIT: Actually mine didn't even charge when power off, so I was pretty certain it was a bad solder joint or some other physical problem.. Have you tried cleaning the usb port with pressured air or just blowing into the port? Could be some pins of the usb port blocked with debris. Also check your usb cables, there are those with 5 pins and those with only 4. Saw the difference in charging speed while the thing was still working.

Well actually when i plug the phone into the PC it will recognize it and i can access the files in the SD card and Internal Memory and everything at the moment it's turned off and it's charging.
I have the problem that the phone only want to charge with soms chargers.
I can connect the phone to the original charger or to a pc or any device without problems, the phone will charge.
Even with an old blackberry charger (only 2 wires, no data) and car charger can i charge without any problem!
But when i connect the phone to the htc charger of my old phone, or to an iphone charger i see the phone is connected but it won't charge.
When i open batterymonitor i see that the charger is connected, but the phone still use his battery.
I tried this with all kinds of charders and all kinds of micro usb cables. Then i thaught there was maybe a resistor or chip or something build in some chargers, because i couls only charge with chargers with 2 wire cables.
Then i took a usb extension cable and i disconnected the two data wires so only the + and - 5V cables were left,
but still no success. If anybody knows where the problem is, please let my know
with kind regards! Martijn
I have a droid razr but no battery for it. Can it function without one if not where can i get one? I know that i could use a moto factory cord to operate it for a short period of time. Also, i would need a factory cord or need to make one, so how would i go about that. I was planning on rooting and possibly flashing a rom based on JB. How would I do that and what is involved thanks in advance!
Hello CVanB,
Droid Razr can work without battery as long as it is connected to USB with factory cable. You can buy it or make yourself one, there're tons of guides avaialable about factory cable.
Thanks

What would be the most direct guide for making a factory cable?
I've run one with no battery. I exposed the wires from usb to micro usb. Connected two wires directly to terminals on phone and plugged it in.
Well my elephone p9000 ribbon cable for the power buttons snapped and i cant turn it on.
is there any way i can use a app on my pc like sp flash tools or something so i can power it on just enough to grab a inportant file i needed of of it or a way for me to read from the user storage partition on the device so i can get my files off of it that way?
I am getting a replacement power and volume button from somewhere in china but it will take 40 days.
Also how (when i do get the replacement) do i plug the new ribbion cable in the socket, i know how to safely open it and i can see the port but just dont know how to properly insert the ribbion cable into it.
