Well I went to update my atrix 4g, for a rom, but was locked bootloader, I knew I had to unlock it, so I gave 100% then the cell called the motorola logo and suddenly hung up, then, is not already tested the battery for 5 batteries, the charger is not already because I put in wall charger, already recharged the battery with a universal charger, and now have my atrix dead, when I connect the usb, the green LED is lit and the signal. any suggestions? (the pc does not recognize, nor in rsd lite, nor enter into recovery mode)

So basically your phone does not turn on (which means no fastboot, rsd, recovery access), and only has the notification LED (green) light up when connected to the computer or a power source?

Honestly it sounds like either a dead screen or a dead phone. like you said, the only thing that seems to respond to anything you do is the notification light when plugged into the computer. unless one of the other members has a better idea with whats going on, you probably are going to need to buy a replacement atrix or buy a new device.

I understand most of what you've said, but I'm not sure what you mean by what you said. who is it that called again? and under normal working conditions, your computer should automatically recognize your device with the proper drivers installed. you don't need rsd lite to get your computer to recognize it.

Yea, it sounds like your charge may have been low. Just a note to everyone, make sure you have a full charge before flashing (anything really). It's a good rule of thumb, even if you are using USB to flash. USB typically doesn't supply enough juice for our devices especially when flashing.
My charge was pretty much full when I started, and the process only lasted about 5 minutes before I went out.
I have it plugged into AC charger now but still no response.
I did notice that when I turn it on while battery is not in it I get the green LED light in top right corner of phone.
When I hit the power button the light goes out. If I have battery in and plug in I get no green light. Just seems to be when without battery and prior to hitting any buttons.

No that does not work either if thats what you mean.
I really can't seem to get any response at all.
The only thing I seem to be able to figure out how to make it do is turn on a green LED in top right of phone when I plug it into a usb charger without the batter in. AC charger does not turn on light. Once power button is touched green light goes away.

Have you tried just letting it sit for a while with the green light flashing? Some reason I think that mine did that (a long time ago) when I soft bricked pre-pudding. So, if that doesn't work, you may be pooched. I assume the computer doesn't recognize it either?

I believe it was just the unlocker (zomgunlock-lite.sbf)
And no the computer does not recognize it... I will try letting it set for awhile with the green light and see what it does. I have to have the battery out to get this green light, would the phone theoretically start without a battery in it but plugged into usb port?

I have been seeing many threads here. One of them suggested to charge in AP fastboot mode using the buttons but that didn't work for me. I am yet to try the cable method.
Is there any other way out?
Guys, I cannot understand why users are trying to flash with low battery again and again. The problem is already known well, am I right?
So, put your device on the charger, NOT TO THE PC. Wait a while and check if it's charging. Maybe you are able to put the device into the fastboot mode only for a short moment, there you can shut it down pressing the power button shortly. The you should be able to charge it normally. If not, try a factory cable. AND at least: READ THE FORUMS!!!
Edit: And do NOT charge it with your PC! It will only charge with you charger.

You'll need a factory cable to flash a new rom in order to charge ur razr. Do a factory cable forum search.
Don't be scared by the name, it's just a modified cable you do by yourself.
Good luck

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.

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

Stupid suggestion, but try plugging the phone in to charge. I had some odd things happen to my phone where it would try to boot and continue to shut down. I knew I had charge on the battery, but when i plugged in the phone to the wall adapter, it acted like the battery did not have any power left. Once charged enough to boot, the phone would work fine.

Hey guys, I just did an update last night, the update was around 330mb, then I drained my phone completely, charged it, then fell asleep, when i woke up, I removed the charger, and the phone won't turn on. Tried pressing all 4 buttons, tried going to recovery, safe mode, and every other combination of buttons, but the phone won't turn on or even go to the samsung logo or blink or anything. Even if I connect it to the laptop, nothing happens. Screen is off, but even when it is not attached to anything, the phone is hot. Which means it is technically on? I'm thinking of letting it drain til it runs out of battery then recharge it?
Anyone? I tried all combinations, nothing makes it work, not even make the led blink, no vibration. Also, i tried charging it for a few hours, it just gets warm but no charging icon or anything.

I'll try later. I still don't have odin. But that would probably be my last resort. I don't want to lose all my stuff.

Now the blue light is off again.
Trya computer to see if it is recognized. If so, just copy your entire folder from your phone, try to Odin, then if successful copy over your files

Tried that. It doesn't work. Oh and now that i tried charging with a wireless charger and still same thing, i guess i can safely conclude it's not the port. Maybe i need to try a charger with higher amps to try and wake it up?
Is it possible that the update does not allow the use of chargers that or not originally for the unit? And i used a samsung slow charger that night after the update, so the whole night the phone tried blocking the current and ended up frying the diode/resistor? Or maybe since i drained it to 0% it went to deep deep sleep?

No any charger should work fine it doesn't have to be official samsung charger. Do the touch key lights come on at all? Have you tried to connect to odin?

I tried connecting to the laptop, laptop does not read it. I connected it to odin but it doesn't show anything, how do I know if odin reads it? Touch lights don't come on, no response from anything.

Open odin, plug in phone and a box on odin will go blue and will say com 3 or something. If that doesn't work try smart switch

I think it didn't show anything when i did. I will check again later.
Is it possible that after the update, when i charged it didn't accept the charger so the battery got drained fully and now it can't charge? A technician said the battery needs to be "shocked" but they don't have the equipment to take off the back to get to the battery. Any thoughts on that?
Would it help if i charge it using a 3.4A charger for a few hours? Maybe that will wake up the battery? Technicians say that because it got to 0% it might have been fully drained and unable to recharge, what they usually do is direct charge a battery but in the case of the s6 edge it's not that easy to do since you have to take it apart...

This is possible, I had the same issue with an iPhone and I had to open the case and charge it externally
Anyone have any other suggestions? I would probably bring it to the service center on monday, but I think if i have it serviced, they will just forward it to another city since I don't think they do repairs in mine.

Official samsung charger should be enough to get it charging and working. Service centre sounds best option
