Hardware boot problem. - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi,
So this is the problem,
Screw somehow couldn't screw in with battery installed but it was able to do so with battery removed from phone.
I removed screw again. After some time when I screwed it in again, it just couldn't come out, just kept spinning in place.
So I, just out of boredom went to instal battery with - screwed in and + connector just placed over screw.
It worked for a while but wasn't able to display battery on stock 4.1.2 and custom 4.3, only question mark was displayed.
I have CID error so I boot over BMM.
When battery drained it would not boot anymore. After that, when connected to charger it would display ? again, and only few times it allowed me to boot, but unexpectedly shuts down while still connected.
After that it wont boot again when connected to charger or make any reaction when it's off the charger.
When I connect it to charger while it's shut down, normal process would be CID error-Orange led flash-Battery status, and now it is the same, accept the battery status which is ?
Now if I disconnect it when charging process just started it would hold till end with only charge coming from battery.
I've also tried charging with wires with no result.
Thats about it, I hope you will be able to help.

HD2 Is not charging or turning on

okay so i have a hd2 with 2.08 hspl and everything as of yesterday after my 2.12 radio flash everything worked fin. but when i started charging it i noticed it didnt show the usb connection when it charges. well it had 9% left and i fell asleep i wont up and it was completely off. im pretty sure the radio disabled the charging ability or whatever when i took my dad to the airport at 4 i looked up a little bit and saw i should take the battery out for awhile then try? i did that and i got it to bootloader with USB but it wont sync. i then reset it and tried to turn it on it started to turn on then died i think the battery is dead cuz of this whole radio thing
so i guess my question is how do i fix it? do i need to install a Rilphone.dll? or go back to my old radio? if so how do i go back to my old radio. then again i could be all wrong
***update i got it into bootloader with usb again im going to leave it for awhile and see if i can get a charge***
****update 2, i guess i can charge it enough in bootloader mode, so how do i enable charging again so i dont have to charge in only bootloader mode?****
No need to go to boot loader to charge. Just keep the phone switched off and charge your phone. The LED will come up in a few seconds. Leave it to charge full till it becomes green as usual. Try putting your device in boot loader & flash YOUR REGION STOCK ROM. Then flash any custom ROM if you wish.
you sure? cuz it never charged before when it was plugged in normally, it just went till it died
take the battery out, plug in USB, then re apply battery. It should shortly begin to charge without trying to turn itself on (which it does if you simply plug usb in whilst battery is in.)
I doubt it was the radio, i'd be more inclined to think you
1 - bent a battery pin
or
2 - faulty hardware.
wait bent battery pin that would make alot more sense.
*checking pins*
it seems as if the middle one (ground) is bent up a little i pushed it down so that it was touching the battery and it worked. im just curious if it broke completely is it possible to replace these?

Looks like it would be a crazy tight solder job if it did, probably just as easy to get the whole device replaced.
My Easy Fix
So my phone HD2 will not turn on or charge when plugged it in. I was freaking out. 2 days without, until i found a thread that told me to take out the battery. Hold down and press the Red power button for 30 seconds. While holding it down put battery back in.. careful you are connecting battery pins to battery when doing this. Then plug back into the wall power not PC. Walah like magic MY once bricked T-Mobile turned back on. ( worked after the 6th try)
Best of Luck.

Thanks for sharing this info. this trick worked for me too.
The phone went past the boot screen n showed me windows mobile logo.
It did restart again once or twice. Then I kept the power button *pressed* continuosly till the phone booted up completely
sorta helped

I received a HD2 in a trade, and it was set up for android. I couldnt charge it, and when I turned it off.. it would just restart by itself... so i thought maybe if I put WM6.5 back on it, it would fix it, nope. This trick DID fix my charging issue, but unfortunately, NOT its restarting when I turn it off. So.. anyone have thoughts on that? lol

[Q] Phone will not charge normally.Also turns on automatically when charger connected

Hi all,
I have recently come across a problem which I cannot overcome by myself and I would really appreciate your help on this!
Phone:
Galaxy S2 (3 UK)
FW:
CM9.0.0
Description of problem:
My phone will not charge the battery. When connected to a charger, it turns itself on and immediately turns back off as there is not enough charge in the battery.
Events leading to problem:
My phone has been functioning perfectly for about 5 months (on CFW) before this happened. I had noticed that my phone ran out of charge abnormally quickly one day before this problem occurred. I did not suspect anything, and put it to charge overnight. The next morning when I woke up, the battery was out of charge (while plugged to the charger!) and the phone was abnormally hot at the area above the battery connectors. During this time, the phone would not turn on. I then unplugged the charger, and let the phone cool down. After cooling down, the phone was able to boot into the OS, but turns off immediately after that due to low charge in the battery.
What I have done so far:
Following suggestions on this thread: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/36648-galaxy-s2-empty-battery-boot-loop/
I suspected that my phone's firmware/kernel had somehow been corrupted. I then stripped a USB wire according to the thread, and attached it to the appropriate battery connectors allowing me to power my phone and flash the FW+Kernel via ODIN. I have since then flashed various firmwares in this order in attempt to recover my phone: Lite'ning v3.6 > Stock (3 UK Branded) > CF-Root Kernel > CM9.1.0.
Current state of phone:
I managed to charge my battery a little via my stripped USB cable, and started up my phone. After booting into OS on battery without charger connected, I have found that the phone will not charge the battery when connecting the charger while the phone is on.
However, if the OS boots automatically when connecting the charger while the phone is off, the battery status will be "Charging", but the charge goes up very slowly. (6% in 20 minutes?) What's even more weird is that if I take the charger off during this time, the phone immediately turns off. While the phone is sort of "functional" now, I'm really afraid that it will recur if my battery ever goes flat again.
I'm sorry this is such a wall of text, but I'd really like to hear your opinions on this. Thank you so much for reading
Did you solved the problem?
I'm with the same problem.

Whew that was long.. but anyway, i suggest you get the external battery charger, maybe it will do you good.
Have you tried going back to stock and doing a full reset?

Have you tried a different battery?

Galaxy SII showing charging screen when trying to boot, unplugged from charger.

The phone is unrooted. And as the title says, whenever I try to boot the phone it goes to the charging screen. The phone is unplugged, though.
Then the following happens: it loads the battery data, battery is shown how charged it is, the dots at the bottom turn on and off one after another, at the 3rd dot, the phone turns off. Repeat.
The only way of turning my phone on is trying to put the charger in and hope to god it recognizes it, really charging it and thus making me able to boot up. Or I've to push Volume Down + Home + Power and then cancel (making the phone restart itself), which does boot up the phone correctly for some reason.
I've turned battery percentage on in the statusbar at the top of the phone, and sometimes it keeps saying unplug the charger when at 100%, so I do and it keeps saying that for 15-30 minutes after. Then I try to restart the phone (not turn off and on) and then the battery dropped to 60-80%?
Finally, when the battery is "fully charged" the screen is flickering until I pull the charger out.
What I've tried so far: rebooting, turning it off and on, pulling the battery out and putting it back in, trying a different battery.
What I'm still planning on doing: Restocking the phone through Odin, or bring it to a repair service but I would try to hold off to that.
Has anyone experienced this before and how do I fix it?

Yes, it looks like number 6 is my problem. I will thoroughly clean my phone when I'm back home. Question: the "USB PCB", is that the end of the charger you plug in the usb port?

PCB stands for "printed circuit board" so I think that he meant rather "USB PCB connector"

Ah right, that makes sense. I'm going to try this and will report back if it works.
Thanks, mate.
Alright, it didn't work. I've no idea what to try anymore.

[Q] Phone won't boot, can't enter download or recovery

A few days ago my phone got soaked through my pants as I was working in the rain. I came home, dried it out, etc. and tried to turn it on. Wouldn't turn on, so I started charging it. I eventually got it to turn on and it seemed to be working fine except for some reason it said the battery life was at 0 %. Note that it was still working normally otherwise.
I went into recovery, made a backup, and did a factory reset to see if that would fix the problem. It didn't, so I restored the backup. Now the phone won't turn on at all.
When plugged in, it shows the charging battery symbol, and if you hold power to turn the phone on it will sometimes begin to start, but it gets to the boot animation and simply stays there forever (I've left it at the boot animation for several hours to no effect). If I try to boot into recovery it simply does not work; it will either just restart the battery charging animation or boot normally (and then get stuck on the boot animation).
In a last ditch effort, I was going to try to flash a stock ROM from Heimdall. However, I plugged my phone in and tried to enter download mode and was greeted with the error: "LOW BATTERY!! CAN'T DOWNLOAD!!." This was after charging the phone all night. I then proceeded to charge the phone for another hour then try again, to the same error. And now here I am. It seems the problem is that my phone will charge, and the battery will be full but for some reason the phone doesn't recognize that the battery has a charge, so it just thinks it's at 0%. I've tried a different battery and was unsuccessful. Is there any way that I can either force my phone to enter download mode or somehow get it to recognize the charge on the battery? Or is there some other way I could resolve this? Or is my phone simply gone for good?
I am (was) running a rooted I777 with Slim Bean ROM ( I believe v8) 4.2.
Have you tried using a JIG it can be an option
If a JIG doesn't work you can try removing the battery, then plug the phone to the PC and go to download.
But for me the problem is with the battery. If after flashing the ROM you get the same results, don't think it and BUY A NEW BATTERY.
Good luck.

If I'm bad at English is because I'm from Argentina and I'm learning.
I has the same problema, I spend two days searching on the web, but i didnt have any idea.., ,y problem is. when we conect to ANY charger (car/wall/PC-USB..) appears on screen a batery logo, but the batery never charged..., I tried to enter to the CW but, the keys combination doesnt make anything on the phone, and without live on it, I cant access to CW..., I wait for 2 hrs, with these cell phone conected to charger to see if the it gone works...
ANYONE has another idea for how we resolve these issue? My phone has a stable version of CyanogenMod..
same with me but what i did was put a different battery in, let it charge for a bit then put the original one in and it only started charging after i used my car charger as i was driving to work so thats how i fixed mine.

[Q] is it dead?

I usually let my phone all night on the charger and when I wake up check emails, news etc.
So the other day when I waked up, open wifi, check email ... phone started heating up, really heating up, almost too hot to touch and also seemed to drain the battery . So, closed the phone immediately and took the battery off. After that it would start the endless reboot cycle every time I put the battery in and plug in the charger. It won't charge at all even if I tell it to shutdown through fastboot. Bought a battery through ebay which came half charged, managed to flash a stock rom through hboot but nothing changed and the battery is drained now and can't try anything else. Also I have to mention that I couldn't access recovery as it would reboot as soon as I made that choice in the hboot menu. Current status is that as soon as I plug in the charger, red light turns on for one second and than the phone seems to try to boot and well endless cycle of that.
Phone was s-off hboot 1.49 and some recovery which I can't remember.
So... is it dead?
seem like you can boot into bootloader/fastboot. But revovery is a no go? Recovery does off mode charging, so if it's bad you won't charge. That would be a software issue, as for hardware I don't have a clue. If you can power up with cable, then I'd say maybe it's only software. I'd try an ruu, back to stock and see if that fixes.
