Cant boot phone - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had roms and touch recovery not thinking battery would not ever charge again after it died on me. But i let me battery go and tried flashing diffrent roms and partition sd card and wiped everything and now phone stays on unlocked screen and battery too low for flashing. Im also on CWM orange. Im able to get to recovery and mount and storage and unmount but i think battery is too low to recognize driver. Would i new battery help? I have purchased an OEM battery but wouldnt i have the same problems battery too low or should there be enough juice to boot or drivers at least recognized. I also have Automatic Scripts downloaded for fixes but hangs up on waiting for device. Ive done the wire trick too to the battery to charge phone and that charged the battery somewhat but stuill wont boot not even RSD. Help please

You should really learn how to use the <enter> key to make your post more readable
Now, all batteries sold (whether they are OEM or not) have very little charge. You need to charge it on another atrix or an charger directly connected to the battery and let it to get until full charge.
On my experience, I've flashed with battery at 50% on rsd lite and with battery on 20% on cwm (but its WAY TOO RISKY doing that)

Ok is this why my drivers are not being recognized? Because of low battery? What do i need to do now since im only on CWM orange 4.something? Shouldnt i be able to go into mounts and storage and unmount and flash a zip i have on my PC if battery was charged. Or do i need to be in Touch Recovery?

Yes, its b/c your device isn't being recognized by the computer. the low battery is barely getting the device up and running for the computer to recognize it. You need to charge your battery on your atrix from a wall outlet or find another device that can be used to charge your battery.
Orange is just a color, it doesn't matter and is irrelevant. you can be on CWM, CWM Touch, or TWRP for recovery.
To flash a zip via recovery, you generally need to go to the option that allows you to flash a zip from internal storage/sd card
you can flash *.img files for a ROM via fastboot from a computer

Stuck at dual core screen :(

So I was previously using the gladiatrix rom and I haven't been on the developer forum for a while and I see the new alien theme so I want to try that rom. I did a few things such as unlocking it, clearing the recovery and installing a new cwm recovery which wasn't really working (it would get stuck at the dual core screen when I had it plugged into AC charger)
My phone still was getting past the dual core screen before I installed the alien rom. Now I went into clockwork and installed the alien rom zip from sd and it said it was successful and everything but when I rebooted my phone its just stuck on the dual core screen and I cant seem to do anything to get out of it. It also says unlocked in the upper left corner
Help? D:

Download and flash via fastboot Romracer's CWM from here --->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
After this do the following:
Boot to Recovery
Wipe Dalvik
Wipe cache
Boot to fastboot
fastboot -w
Boot to CWM
Flash ROM
Wipe Dalvik
Wipe cache
Boot to OS
The problem is likely the version of CWM you are using, and your wipe method before flashing.
If you don't know anything about using fastboot go here ---->

Thanks for the quick reply. I've just started using fastboot recently and I'm not 100% sure how to do everything but I've got the flashing business down. So I did as you said and flashed that cwm you linked (orange if it matters) but how do I boot to recovery (I still get stuck at the dual core screen after I reboot using fastboot)?
Edit: Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks for the help
I'm in the same exact situation, however my battery is damn near dead
and it will not charge. In usb, green lights for maybe 3 minutes then goes off, in ac charger it just goes to the red m dual core screen
I can get into recovery, but not fastboot since my battery is too low to flash.
tldr battery wont charge to get in to fastboot to flash new recovery
what do?
Try this to charge your phone, worked for me.

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G.
yeah, no
I'm not stupid, I've tried every possible combination. I've even gone as far as to wiring two usb2.0 ports into one cable for maybe a stable 5.0v but it will green light charge for a little while then quit.
my phone may be a goner.

know anyone else with an atrix? might be able to borrow their fully charged battery long enough to fix your phone.
or you can take a laptop into an AT&T store and ask to borrow the battery out of the display atrix there. if the representative is cool they might let you do it.

[Q] Bricked XT912 Cant access safestrap

Okay so awhile back I rooted my XT912 and had safestrap 3.11 installed. I do not recall if I had clockwork mod or not.I had Eclipse ICS installed and was happy with it. At one point I was once again meddling where I shouldn't and wiped my stock rom slot via safestrap. I just booted into the Eclipse on rom slot 1 and forgot about it. I decided to try a cyanogen rom and had it downloaded to my external sd. I went into safestrap and began deleting rom slot 1. Everything was fine until, MY BATTERY DIED... After some more work I had eventually ended up being able to use recovery and flash the internal drive so I could use RSD to boot into a stock bootloader. I keep getting errors there. I do have a backup on my computer. I just really don't know where to go from here as I cant even access safestrap anymore. Please help. I have no idea where to go from here and couldn't find anyone with the same issue and believe me I have spent the better part of two days looking.
Try using this: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...-verizon-droid-razr-and-droid-razr-maxx-only/
Remember to have a full battery though, or you might hard-brick,
how do i charge? when its plugged in via usb it has a white led and with the wall charger, it stays on the dual core screen for a while or just goes black
Go into fastboot mode does it say? Battery OK? If it does go on and try the Utility.
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.74
eMMC Info: Size 16G
To return to normal mode- first press power key to power down
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0
Battery Low
Cannot Program
(USB)
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
(WHEN PLUGED INTO WALL)
Connect USB
Data Cable
You need a factory programming cable(eBay... Hong Kong clone works fine) or a USB factory adapter(team blackhat, Google them). Your phone is bricked and no matter what you do you won't be able to charge it. Once you get the cable or adapter then you'll be able to connect you phone to the computer with it and boot into fastboot mode it will say battery is fine to program because the cable/adapter powers the phone, doesn't charge it. All you have to do from there is use rsd lite and flash the fast boot files. Your phone will be back to stock and you can re-root and install safestrap again.
Good luck
Krooked All Day...
Try to get into the boot loader and select BP Tools and plug in the charger into the wall and see if it charges.

Problems with offline charging

I'm havin problems with offline charging after i installed cm11. I've tried change kernel and change rom (i'm using PA rom now) and i'm still with the same problem.
When i plug the charger on my phone while turned off, it shows a battery icon with a question mark on it and i think it's not charging. Is this a general problem or did i make something wrong?
Try keeping it plugged in. See if it charges or not.
Also,did you change your bootlogo?
I didn't change my bootlogo. it boots motorola bootloader and then shows the battery icon with the question mark. I left my phone charging this way for a couple of hours and tried to turn it on. my phone booted with 0% battery and then shutted down, so definitely it is not charging. other thing I notice is that when my phone enter this buggy offline charging mode, I have to press power button + volume down to reboot my phone, it kind of get stuck in this mode when my phone enter it
Try using a different charger.
It doesn't seem to be a common issue.
Can you power up the phone whilst charger connected.?
I've tried two different chargers, one of my Moto X and the original one. If I want to charge the phone I need to turn it on first and then plug the charger. I can't turn it on with the charger on cuz it is stuck on that screen with the battery icon
I'm starting to think I've done something wrong. I did the following to get where I am right now:
I was on stock firmware, so I rooted the phone and installed the newest version of SS. Then I downloaded cm11 and gapps and copied to the phone. I entered the SS and wiped everything. After that I installed cm11 and gapps.
When I discovered that issue I've tried install JBX kernel to fix it and nothing. then I wiped everything again and installed PA rom + gapps and still that issue. Did I do something wrong?
No, you didn't do anything wrong.
Since its persistent across both ROMS, its not a ROM issue either.
In my opinion, its most probably a problem with port or the board. The port doesn't deliver enough power.
You can try flashing the stock ROM back, it might repair in case something s/w related is corrupted. If it doesn't work after that, then its a h/w glitch for sure.
just in case, if I install stock rom and the problem goes away, what might be causing this problem?
I can't re-flash stock rom because I can't charge my phone and I can't boot into the rom or recovery. I don't think fastboot charges my phone. I just realized that bootloader is locked. Maybe this is the problem, isn't it?
it isn't a h/w glitch because before cm11 it was OK to charge offline
You'll need a factory cable to flash in case your phone has insufficient power.
Look for it, there's a guide about making one in the general section I suppose.
No need, I've managed to charge the phone through USB on my pc. When I plug the charger on my phone, that glitch happens, but when I plug the USB on my pc, the phone lights up a white led and apparently it charges the phone (slower, but charges). That's really weird. I really want to know what is happening to my phone

What to do when the phone battery is unremovable?

When backing up a ROM or flashing a new ROM to android phone we need to remove the battery, connect the phone and reinsert the battery for the process to start. What if the device has a none removable battery? How to handle this situation?

You don't need to do the steps you mentioned if you are flashing a ROM through a custom recovery. And pretty much powering it down will work just like you removed the battery if you are going to flash a firmware.

Problem with my xt 1225

My xt1225 was fine , until some time ago.
Problem started there : I couldnt let it drain all the battery down or it would be a pain in the ass to charge it up.
If i let , the problem was that everytime i plug the charger in the phone would go up a second showing the charging screen and then turn off. The solution was to try to boot on bootloader or recovery and pray that it doesnt turn off, then the phone would charge a bit and back to the normal state.
The strange thing come here : one day after letting it go down to 1% (it didnt shut down but stayed at 1%), i plugged the charger in and the battery wouldnt go up past 1%. I let for hours and nothing . Then I managed to go on receovery (twrp 3.0.2) and :
The processor temp was something like 4293089048 C , the battery still 1%.
After some restarts on recovery i noticed that the battery would sometimes change a bit of the value , and i plugged the charger and managed to charge up battery to 100% in recovery only.
Now , after charging the phone a bit i decided to reflash the stock rom (was using aex) but i noticed that I can`t get my system recognized on usb. Neither on Bootloader , recovery , or system .
Anybody can help me =(?
Obs : Still have acess to system (with a custom rom , aex) , and i can flash things on recovery

First of all, it seems like you have posted in the wrong section.
The XT1225 has a dedicated forum available here. So, the correct section for your thread should be here.
Secondly, it sounds like you're having a battery hardware issue. The battery is likely failing. If you can, you should replace it.
It might also be a USB Cable or USB connector issue. So, you should first change the USB Cable. If it doesn't help, change the battery. If that fails too, then you must ultimately change the USB connector (better take it to a repair center).
Before any of these, you can try to calibrate the battery with a calibration app, but I seriously doubt that will work. It's still worth the try!
