I have Motorola Droid Razr XT910
I was flashing rom and it didn't worked so I left the phone in recovery mode while I was looking for a new one and then it turned off since it was with low battery.
And now it won't turn on and I can't charge it.
There's something that I can do?
Like charge it in the company's store or something like that ? Or put in new full battery ?
Just google razr service cable or how to unbrick razr....

even easier with the razr.
you open the back unscrew a bit the battery screws, put red to plus black to minus, tighten the screws, connect adapter/usb to wall/pc
give it 5 mins to charge no more, it can damage battery, then continue with wall charger
to fix your problem buy this and finish your fast boot if you do not like the other ways they said above. http://www.ebay.com/itm/360632413144?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 it is called a Factory Cable not a service cable.

I'm aware that the phone is hard to power on after it dies completely, so please consider this:
- Motorola Wall charger does not charge the phone. If I insert the plug into the Atrix slowly the green light turns on, if I finish inserting the light turns off.
- Phone charges on my laptop with various USBs (green light is on) but never powers
- Motorola Wall charger works because it charges my Captivate
- I figured out a way to leave the phone at an angle where it could charge with the Motorola wall charger not placed in all the way (because otherwise it would pop back out). It didn't charge the phone.
I got the phone 4 days ago, and I rooted it 2 days ago, but I highly doubt that is an issue here. I ordered it from Amazon.
Any ideas?
Call Motorola support. They do actually answer in a reasonable time.
Failing that, might need to be returned.
I installed the 3G booster scripts from zeppelinrox, and now my phone won't go past the "dualcore" screen. (It seems that changing the I/O Scheduler does NOT go well with the Droid X2. So don't install the normal 3g script (use safe mode that he has now released.)) It's obvious I need to SBF my phone.
Now, it seems that, at that time, my battery died as well. And it also seems that the Droid X2 doesn't actually charge unless it's at the charge screen or booted up completely.
The problem is, RSD mode requires actual battery juice, and not a cable. It tells me I don't have enough battery to flash RSD mode, meaning I can't SBF. And because the phone doesn't charge unless in a mode that it can't boot to, I seem SoL.
It there another way to charge my battery (without an external charger)? Like a BIOS mode that accepts incoming charge? Or am I completely ****ed until I buy an external battery charger?
Super bad timing on my part. Gah. Should've been more aware of my battery...
Well, there's a way but it takes work. Cut off the end of an old charger place the positive side of the cable (the one with the white stripe) on the positive feed of the battery and place the negative (the all black one) on the negative feed. They'll be marked. To hold it in place use electrical tape and make sure you wrap it all the way around. It'll charge the battery and you'll be able to use in the phone but it probably wont allow you to charge from the phones charger again because for some reason, using an alternative charging source voids a Motorola battery. But at least you'll be able to get your phone back up until you get a new battery or just keep charging it the hard way. But, I know this works because I had to do it with my original X and Im not responsible if you blow up or catch your house on fire.

borrow a battery from sumone you know with either an x2 or an x. Or take 4 little wires and another lithium 3.7v battery and try to rig sum crazy ****
Trade batteries with someone with an X or X2. Tell them it's just temp until you can get your phone fixed. I wouldn't go off splicing wires and rednecking it because that just sounds dangerous.
Can u get to the stock recovery with power and down button if so I thought the phone charges in recovery but not sure 100% I've been reading slot on this phone
If you are on GB with System Recovery installed my phone has been booting into Recovery Charge Mode when powered off and plugging into ac charger. Recommend giving that a try if it works it will boot to a large battery charging icon.
good luck.

It doesn't charge in system recovery. I've tried :/
As for charge mode, It won't boot into it; it doesn't get past the "DUALCORE" screen...
Thanks for all your help guys, I guess the things I need to do is either borrow a battery (none of my friends have an X or X2..) or buy an external battery charger. Thanks again!

Does walmart have a compatible battery? New batteries tend to have some juice (like around half). And you could always return it and say it won't charge in your phone. Walmart has an easy return policy. Just an idea.

Thank you for the idea. I just went and bought an external battery charger and my phone is now up and running again.
I remember with my Droid 2 I was installing a ROM and my battery crapped out. So I went to a vzw store and I was like yeah I was installing this update from a notification i saw on the phone and my battery died. Can I use a battery so I can recover the phone? Less than a minute later she comes out with a new battery for me to use and just watches me go into CWR and flash my ROM 8). Gotta love how clueless those reps are.
I'm trying to flash using rsd to fix one of my problems but my battery is to low to flash and the led disappears after a short time connected to usb. And its stuck at the boot screen when i use the wall charger so my question is will it charge while stuck at the dual core Motorola boot screen?
I believe you're gonna have to buy a wall charger to charge your battery or make some sort of modification to the cable

You should be able to charge your phone even when it is off.
When I turn off my phone, when I plug it in, I get the Motorola dual core boot screen and I can see that my phone is charging.
What happened? Did you screw up a bootloader flash or something? Even then, as long as there is still any working bootloader, you should be able to charge.
BTW, as mentioned above, wall chargers are cheap. Or if you want, you can go to a Sprint store and ask them to charge your battery for you. They have wall chargers there (or could use another photon). I have done this before once when I left my charger at home.
I think a Sprint store isn't a half bad idea. I hadn't thought about that before.
If i plug it into the wall it gets stuck at the boot screen (no battery status or any indication of charging just stuck at boot screen with unlocked at the top left corner) i have had it on the wall charger for six hours stuck at boot and several hours via pc usb the charging led stays white. No luck and when i set it for rsd it told me it has to low of a charge to flash anyways. I know i know the sprint store was the first thought to mind but they wont help me if they know what i was doing. Ill just ask the sprint guys to charge my battery and go from there. But what could have went wrong to the point that it wont charge by any cable?? Did i screw up something so bad that its not even worth the effort?
hello,
i have a bit of a predicament here. yesterday, i was preparing to pack up my atrix as i am selling it. i was making use of fastboot - erasing system, user data, recovery, and so on. the long and short of it is this: i erased the custom rom on the atrix, and i also erased the custom recovery. i didn't realise the battery was low, and, well, it 'died'. when i plug the phone into a charger, it doesn't go past the red motorola logo, the green led doesn't turn on, and the phone doesn't appear to charge.
i cannot make use of fastboot to flash a recovery image, as the battery is always too low to flash. whenever i try and charge the phone, it doesn't get past the red motorola logo (as the phone has no rom installed, and the custom recovery image has been erased), and the green led doesn't come on, as stated above. if i unplug the phone from the charger - be it after an hour, or two hours, it turns itself off immediately. trying to charge the phone via usb yields the same result.
so, with that said, it looks like i will have to buy a new battery, as that will have a bit of charge in it, i imagine. i imagine te original recovery is long gone, and there is no other option but to buy a new battery?
Well, you could charge your battery on a friend's phone or a store, or ask a friend to lend you their battery.
Once you get a battery with a charge, fastboot a recovery, copy a rom zip and flash it
There are more threads about battery charging than I have fingers, (and yes I have all 8 fingers and 2 thumbs)! I am not going to search for you for this exact reason. The predicament you are in is very easy to get out of! Use the search function, that's what it's there for!

Agree his method.
Simple method. Take an old phone charger or USB lead. Cut of the micro USB end. Strip the red and black wires. Fasten red to the positive terminal and black to the negative terminal on your battery with some tape. Let it charge for a few hours. Unplug if battery gets warm. This should put enough charge into the battery so you can put it back in the phone and flash. I had to do this with my HD2

Or try this just to see... it helps with some battery problems. Take the battery out and plug in the charger. If it goes to a picture of a battery with a question mark... put the battery in and let it charge.
So I wanted CM 10 on my phone and did all the reading as was following a guide. I got as far as installing CM 10 and on the initial start-up it says it can take up to five minutes.. Well, it sits there forever and goes there every time I reboot.
Now, when I hold the volume and power buttons it goes into Android system recovery <3e> I know I had to boot into bootstrap recovery to be able to load the file off my external drive - otherwise you get the failed signature and it won't load.
Can I do anything here to fix my phone? I don't don't care what I loose, I need this working.
Thanks-
Kyle
Ok - so I'm trying to fastboot VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02 onto my phone bia FlashME as RSD Lite will no longer work and its telling me battery low.
I've had this plugged into a Motorola branded wall charger for nearly 4 hours and it still says battery low. Im switching to the dual usb black square charger and a Motorola branded usb cable and trying again - after this I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to charge it...
holding volume and power and going to bp tools to get the battery meter to show does nothing, sits at moto screen forever... I dont want to claim this on my insurance - but I may have to. Help?

To charge the phone, you will now need the Motorola factory Charging Cable that bridges pin 4 with pin 1...anyways this will allow the phone to charge now that it is stuck in bootloop. The bridging of the pins allows the phone to think it is in the factory programming mode, allowing it to charge.
I would include a link to the post, but I am a new member...can't post links...but Google the below search term, and there is a few sites on how to make the cable, or where to buy it.
Now, I believe this will solve your charging issue. I don't know about flashing back to stock or making the ROM work, and I would look around a little more on the subject of this cable because I just stumbled across a thread about this a few days ago. A quick Google/XDA search on "Motorola Factory Charge Cable Razr" Should be sufficient.
---EDIT---
After looking through the forums again, I found a thread that may help you...it is in the middle of this forum, and it is called Low Battery charge in Ap Fastboot Fix. Take a look at that and it may help you.
Its toast - wont charge. took it all apart, hacked a cable and put the leads on the battery and gave up. put it back together - calling asurian to get a replacement. **** this thing
