Hello...I just unlocked my bootloader and tried to CWM 2.3.4 using the new version of CWM by tenfar...I am stuck on the Motorola boot screen and my battery is too low to flash...I tried to pull the battery and put the phone on an ac charge but that did not work...any assistance is greatly appreciated
Hi,
Easiest solution is to get a universal charger from Radio Shack, $10.
Cheers!
Remove battery, put the phone in AC mode, then place battery in. It takes about 3-5 hrs to charge, then it should be okie. I met this problem too Solved that way!

. First off nice job digging up this dead corpse. Of course he found a solution. Know what it is? Dont use Tenfars recovery anymore because its completely outdated and will cause problems. As far as being able to charge yer phone are u trying to plug it in to a computer? Because if battery dies it wont work to plug it in to the comp.

No solutions on here yet?
Well, this is what I did, not sure if it will completely work yet, but so far it's doing it's thing.
- I plugged the phone into the charger adapter
- Booted the phone without holding volume down
- let the phone charge itself
- monitor battery level with volume buttons
Once that was done I could continue, as phone does not charge during flashing.
Or am I way off here?
So I plugged my rooted stock rezound into charge. It wouldn't turn on to my surprise. The orange led will come on for a few seconds when I plug it in but then shuts off. I can't get into hboot or recovery. Says error device not found in adb. Don't wanna return to verizon like that. I could use some help lol

Is the battery completely dead? And do you have clockworkMOD for recovery? If yes to both, it's CWM's problem. You need to get AmonRA flashed and your battery charged up.
If not.....

Battery was at 70 percent when I plugged it in so I doubt it. But I do have cwm. It won't boot plugged in with no battery either.

If your battery isn't completely dead, try this. Unplug it, pull the battery for a few seconds, put the battery back in (do not plug the phone back in), and attempt to power it on. Once it starts to boot, feel free to plug it back in. I had this happen to me once when I was screwing around with recoveries.

Got it. Turns out the extended battery I swapped in was dead. The regular one in the phone is now a paper weight. I put my girls thunderbolt battery in and it booted so I charged my extended battery

verizon had external chargers for the rezound for 5 bucks a while back, they still might or amazon or ebay have them cheap as well.
I would stay away from CWM since it is causing so many charging problems. Why do people use this recovery on the Rezound when it clearly is buggy.
Symptoms:
1. Hitting power does nothing
2. Power + down volume does nothing
3. Plugging into AC power = no green light
4. Plugging into USB (computer) power = green light (which stays on after unplugging)
I have:
1. Tried battery and SD card pull while plugged in and not plugged in
2. A friends BH5X battery
3. Leaving the battery out for an hour
4. Leaving it charge via the Motorola AC adapter over night
I am out of ideas. Something else that may help... when the phone died I plugged it in (AC) and it rebooted to the recovery menu. I hit reboot, and since then it will not power on... or charge apparently.
Even with a charged battery it wouldn't boot?

Had a coworker charge my battery in his Droid X to 80% before he had to leave. I don't know what his battery was charged to in his phone, but I tried his as well with the same results. Does it have to be charged to 100%?

I wouldnt think so.
So the battery just simply died and wont boot up now? You werent doing anything else to it?

My battery will boot my coworkers Droid X. When it died it shutdown due to low battery. I plugged it into AC power... it booted up to recovery, and I hit reboot from the menu... after that it is completely unresponsive.

If the battery worked on your coworkers droid X then its not your battery. Which means its hardware or software related. Were you running any roms or anything or were you completely stock?

I've been running Eclipse 2.1 for a while now with no issues... even if I was having a ROM issue... wouldn't still at least boot to the M logo or stock recovery?

Yes, it should. Or if you had bootstrap on there (which you should if you flashed stuff) it would boot into that if you turned the phone on when the phone was plugged in. Its really hard to say what it is when your phone simply died of low battery and now wont boot. I'm just as stumped as you right now since you pretty much tried everything I would have.

Yeah when I said it booted to recovery I meant the bootstrap recovery. Since it won't boot I guess I don't have to worry about VZW finding out it was rooted... lol. Maybe I can get them to replace it.

Yeah, maybe you can get a replacement before they even know its rooted. lol. Just keep trying to boot it though. Maybe you'll get lucky.
Does your computer recognize the phone when you plug it in? You said the light comes on when its connected to your pc. If you can get adb running you can try to reboot the phone using adb.

No, and it will not power on... just green light... which stays on even after disconnecting it from the usb.
I did some more googling and reading. Then came across the Factory style programming cable.
So you flashed your phone and now it thinks the battery is dead (even though it's not) and it won't let you flash it again to fix it? Or, your battery really is dead and you don't have a way to charge it because your phone is soft-bricked and won't charge the battery. What do you do?
With this cable you don't even need a battery in your phone. This is our clone of what is generally referred to as a Motorola "Factory Cable".
Unlike a normal USB cable these cables are wired in a way that compatible Motorola phones recognize as a "factory" programming cable. This allows the phone to power up and be flashed without having a battery in the phone. Depending upon the model of the phone, it may also boot up differently than it does with a normal USB cable.

Sounds like my problem exactly (minus the flashing part... which I did over a month ago). I went ahead and ordered it

If you can get to bootstrap why not just use a card reader throw eclipse or some rom on your micro which should have come with an sd adaptor and just reflash from bootstrap?

It won't power on at all... that's why I need the factory cable... it doesn't require a battery.
Well, I finally got that factory programming cable. That didn't power the phone on either... it did power on my fiancee's droid 2 with no battery in it though. I figured the phone was completely hosed (also noticed the battery bulging a bit), so I got a warranty replacement. Since I couldn't even get it to boot with the programming cable I have no doubt VZW will not waste any time trying to repair it... at least I hope that's what they will do.
If a lithium ion battery begins to bulge it can be dangerous if not replaced. This is rare but with these batteries if one were defective it could reach 1.5V per cell during use. This would render the battery unchangeable and its discharge would cause the copper plating to create a short circuit in the cellphone.

You can use a free battery calibrator app from the market or do it from the advanced options in Streakmod recovery

How do i install streak mod without usb connecting to the phone becuase "battery charger disabled"
There was a detailed thread on just this and I think the general consensus was that it's not possible.
My Streak currently is unable to charge . Tried the default charger and portable charger but to no avail . The funny thing is the charger is giving its output to my Streak but its not inputting the current .
I've tried my cable on my computer but its unable to read my Streak + used the cable to connect to my portable charger and connecting it to Streak but also not accepting current . I've cleared battery stats already . I'm currently at 1% thus there's really nothing much i could do .
Charger problem too ?
Not if the computer didn't recognize the Streak. In your case, it's the cable.
I cant get mine into fastboot modee! its so annoying!!

Nope. Changed the cable to a brand new one but still unable to charge or read through the computer.
Then the only other option is the port on the Streak is damaged. Especially since it's not taking a charge from either power source.
Had this problem last night in bed. Device was charging fine through albeit damaged original Dell charging cable. I had wanted to leave it charging but it wouldn't charge through that cable or the new cable (a cheap Chinese one) I had got previously. This morning, connected it to the laptop and the laptop recognised something was connected, the device lit up but with the picture of a charger and yellow exclamation mark. Went into fastboot and through *#301# had said;
Battery voltage= 3210mV (this value is decreasing)
Ave Current -306mA
Charge state 0%0%
Temperature 28.25C
No charger detected
HC Mode
DCIN OV: Yes USBIN OV: Yes
Battery charger Disabled
Battery too Hot did trip IRQ
Battert too cold did trip IRQ
Voltage test Fail
Temperature test Pass
I can boot into Fastboot, obviously, recovery and it does boot up, albeit slowly but the ROM has reset itself and says charger is invalid.
worst case scenario, get external battery charger.
and your battery is pretty much discharged way beyond the minimum limit...

I managed to charge my battery externally through a power pack and some leads. As a result the battery charges but I cannot vouch for it's ability to hold charge. It's holding pretty steady on airplane mode so perhaps it's okay. And it now says voltage pass in fastboot mode.
I've ordered an external charger and a new battery.
Quite a few of the pins are bent badly, which is a pretty bad design flaw as the pins are exposed, I had been using a cheap cable over the original Dell cable but that was poor quality and the sheath had pulled away exposing the inner wires. But the fact that it had been charging the battery leads me to think that charging wasn't affected but wasn't able to tell the device that it was charging and hence it thought it was at zero. But the fact it's recognised the charge and discharge has left me rather perplexed.
I've seen on a few scattered threads about some people having let the battery die during recovery and having to get the external battery charger or try the option that I am trying.
I am wondering if anyone has actually stripped a usb cable, and taped the positive and negative ends to the batteries + and - ends and allowed the battery to charge that way so you could RSD without getting the "Battery is too low for RSD" message? Some threads aren't specific about how long to keep it on for a decent charge or even if it worked so I just thought I would ask, I believe I gave it enough charge to start up, but I wasn't sure how long I should leave it on there.
Thanks in advance!
All I know is you can fry your phone and battery like that
Could try a verizon store, ask them to charge battery for you
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Yeah, I've heard of people charging using a stripped cable frying their battery after only a minute or two. There's no way of telling when it's done that way. I agree. Try charging it in another X2 or a Droid X....Same battery. I have used my dads original X to charge this thing. Worst comes to worst go to a verizion store and see if they will help you out...
On another note, I thought the phone still charged when in custom recovery?

You should definitely get a external battery charger, 3-5$ on ebay and you never have a problem again

so it means when we leave the x2 plugged in at the recovery screen, it actually still charging as it is the same as the battery charging screen..do i get it right?
I'm running Eclipse 2.2.1 and it always enter BSR even when I plugged it in at OFF condition..
