Get some juice on that battery first. Let your phone charge. Then reflash

Glad i didnt have to start a thread on this as you have already. I have the same issue, the phone wont take a charge when its in fastboot or otherwise without being able to boot up. So you cant use the droid razr utility to flash back to stock. The utility requires that you to put the phone in fastboot mode and fastboot requires a battery to be charged above a certain level. Any suggestions. ?? I'm suprised their aren't more people replying to this thread, but it is a legacy device so that probably has something to do with it.
Unfortunately, the droid razr battery doesn't come out too easily or you could buy an external charging dock. I tried to take the back off mine and not only was it glued on and just about ripped the back cover in half getting it out, I couldnt see a way to get the battery out without damaging something. there is a very fragile ribbon cable located at the bottom of the battery and Im sure if you rip that it will be a paperweight from then on. On to the next phone.
I dunno how but my xt 925 went from low battery to battery Ok several times while in fastboot. Maybe that's just the xt925.

Factory cable is the solution
Hey man, You can reflash your firmware by using factory cable. You can make one on your own.
You can search "how to make factory cable" ... They're not so complicate if you have welding gun.
But the easiest way is use a small piece of electric wire , bend it to shape "U" , then try to connect point "1" with point "4" by the "U".
Sorry for my bad English. You can refer to below video.:
youtube .com watch?v=rH2MXnKdoMA
just need to use a small piece of electric wire.
Best and fastest way ist to simply open the phone on the back and connect the red and the black cable from usb to the battery's + and -. Leave cables attached while flashing rsd. :thumbup:
It leaves absolutely no visible marks on the phone if you use a guitar pick to open the razr (check youtube for tutorial).
Hey! Just disassambled the external case (search a video on YouTube) and cut a mini USB cable. You need to use the black and red cable. The red one is the positive and the black one is the negative. Put them under the respectives screws and conect the point of the USB in the charger and then to the wall. Then, connect your phone in the USB port and conect it to the wall. After that, put the AP Fastboot and use RSD Lite to recover your phone
You don't have to open the phone,just make a factory cable and flash the rom with Rsd.

Hi guys,
So I have a problem with my friends Razr Maxx on Verizon... she hated ICS and wanted GB back on her phone... I rooted the phone just fine and was going to flash the GB sbf (2.3.6) that I found on here. During the process in RSD Lite I got a failure(dont remember what exactly it said though
). Now her phone is softbricked, and when I try to go to "tools" in fastboot menu the red M blinks then it brings me right back to this screen:
"Invalid Flash Mode (s) (Boot Failure)
0A.6C
To return to normal mode - first press power key to power down
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0
Battery Low
Cannot program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Invalid CG OTV (CG: system): Invalid SP data
Invalid CG Version (CG: system)
Invalid CG OTV (CG: system)"
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem I would appricate it, my friend is freaking out because she doesnt want to lose the limited edition employee Razr Maxx
First, try to charge the phone by plug in to wallcharger or search this forum for "low battery" solutions.
Then you would try the Matt's tools here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769345
That tool will restore ur friend phone to stock ICS.
As i know becoz bootloader is locked we can not go back to GB once already on ICS.
Good luck!

imho, you have to have a working /system to charge the battery without booting.
You could try to solder a microUSB to make a Motorola Factory cable. This cable will ignore the low battery problem.

I'm having the same problem, (not meaning to hijack a thread here)
Stuck in Fastboot mode, battery too low to program, unable to charge because in fastboot mode.
Am I going to need this factory cable, to get the fastboot mode to complete the programming using
Matts tool option 1 and HOPEFULLY if that gets me back to stock rom, then I can finally charge up my Maxx using my

Yes, got the Factory Cable on the way ... just have to wait ...
I thank all the wonderful people of XDA so people like me can realize they arent the only one with the same exact problem, and usually

Hey guys, I was fixing a Droid RAZR for a friend by unrooting it so he could return the phone under factory replacement. Long story short, used droid razr utility 1.42 which caused the initial soft brick(i believe it was because it was old and became unresponsive on 'sending/writing System'), now the phone has "Battery LOW", downloaded utility 1.6 for use with gingerbread but can't work on phone at all cause of the low battery.
after not sleeping at all and countless reading, i've concluded i need a Motorola Factory Cable so that it will provide a fake "charge" or an okay for the phone to receive the utility 1.6 in fastboot.
My question is, is the Factory Cable what I need to combat this "Battery LOW" in order allow utility 1.6 to flash? And lastly where can I obtain a Factory cable locally? Does the VZW store carry them or possibly a Fry's or Best buy? I don't mind paying some $ to get this finished ASAP.
Thanks guys, help is greatly appreciated.

You can make a factory cable yourself .. U just need to short pin 1 and 4 of ur regular micro USB cable ( use a samsung cable preferably) ... Check out this video .. I was able to find one in ebay ... [ just try charging in AP fasboot mode with your regular cable before trying this ]

I had been running cm10 on my dx2. Started getting really buggie so I tried to flash over with cm10 again, it failed.
I cleared Dalvik cache and hooked to RSD to SBF (not sure if that was the correct approach), but the flash failed with the following error:
"Failed flashing process. Phone[0000]: Error getting subscriber unit information. Device API Error: 0xE0030009 Command: RQHW (0x0832009)"
I left the phone connected and tried to run RSD SBF flash again with the exact same result. I unhooked the usb cable and tried a reboot of the phone. It won't boot. It goes to the red M screen and displays this at the top: "Failed to boot 4, Starting RSD mode". It hangs on this same screen when I power up holding the volume down button. While hanging on that screen I CAN connect to RSD but the flash still fails with the same error I listed above: "Failed flashing process. Phone[0000]: Error getting subscriber unit information. Device API Error: 0xE0030009 Command: RQHW (0x0832009)"
When holding the volume up button when powering up it hangs on red M screen with message at top: "Failed to boot 4 Starting Fastboot protocol support". I can then connect to RSD but the flash fails immediately when I click "start" on RSD. (That's probably exactly what should happen in this case?) Pushing or holding the volume up or down or both while on these red M screens causes nothing to happen.
-- I have tried 2 different usb cables, one is the original moto cable and both have always worked to flash this and other phones in the past.
-- I am using the same laptop that I have always used to flash this and a few other phones.
-- I have re-downloaded the SBF file twice and flashed with the same results.
-- I have done numerous battery pulls.
-- I have tried to get to stock system recovery by removing the battery and plugging into wall charger. I get the same result, red M screen with the following:
"Failed to boot 4"
"Starting RSD mode"
"Battery is too low to flash"
When on this error screen I have (in this order) installed battery, unplugged charger, plugged into computer usb - nothing changes on the phone screen and RSD does not see the phone so does not connect.
Here's what I will be trying later this evening:
Try a different computer.
Burn a Linux easySBF disc and try that.
What am I doing wrong or what else can I try?
Thank you!
So you have done the SBF process successfully before? What SBF file are you using? Do you have all the motorola drivers installed on your computer? Are you using Windows or Linux?

Yes, I have SBFed this particular dx2 maybe 3-4 times before flashing different custom roms. I am using windows xp. I do also have the current moto drivers installed. The SBF flash with RSD actually progresses part way before the noted error.

You mentioned it said battery to low to flash. Maybe thats your problem right there. I'm not 100% sure but I dont know if the battery charges without the operating system installed. I think I read that before. If this is the case, you need to charge your battery another way before continuing. If someone else you know has the same phone, you can charge your battery with their phone. Or get another battery. I'm not sure. Its best to have your battery at 100% before doing an SBF.
If I am wrong about the battery not able to charge without the OS, then just leave it charging for a bit and try the SBF again.
I have swapped in a known good and fully charged battery. Without a doubt my battery situation is ok. Keep in mind that the battery low error only shows if I try to get to system recovery by removing the battery and plugging in the wall charger. I had read before that is just another way to get to system recovery, that's why I did that. Otherwise there is no indication that the battery is too low.
In your other reply you asked what SBF file I have tried:
VRZ_MB870_4.5.1A-DTN-150-30_1FF_01
VRZ_MB870_4.5.1A-DTN-200-18_1FF_01
I have downloaded and tried a couple different copies of each of those SBF files. (I realize that one is for 2.3.4 and the other is 2.3.5)

Well I have a feeling you are going to stump me on this. lol. I have never had issues with any SBF that I have done so I cant really associate a problem with your situation. The only other thing I can suggest is try a different version of RSD lite or try a different machine if you can. Maybe even a linux machine. I just wouldn't know why it has worked for you in the past and now, all of a sudden, it wont.
Yeah, this stuff normally goes smooth for me too. When it doesn't then I get in the research and learn mode. Been searching and reading for a while now.
I will need to try the linux sbf disc later tonight, possibly tomorrow night, after I get to my machine that I can burn a disc on (don't have a thumb drive with me either right now).
I have heard that you cannot brick a dx or dx2...........wonder how true that is?
Thanks for your help!

It IS really hard to brick the phone due to the SBF files being able to fix everything. But I guess anything is possible. As long as you can still get into RSD mode, you should be fine. Just try other methods like you said. I actually just SBF'd on a Mac the other day and it was surprisingly easy and fast. Sorry I couldnt be more help. Keep checking back here though. Maybe someone will chime in with a better answer.
Success!!
I started thinking about what is different this time.......I'm at my other home where I now need to use an external wifi usb antenna. Apparently I have never flashed a phone while having that antenna connected to a usb port, because when I tried to SBF with it unhooked it all went perfect!

Guys, I was trying to flash a CM11 ROM with Safestrap and it got crazy saying my internal storage was only 1.6GB, I was kinda desperate and wiped the internal storage but after that the phone won't start, fastboot, nothing. When its connected to the charger it gets stuck at the motorola logo and connected with usb it lights up the front led. but nothing happens.
Can someone help me flashing the rom again back to my Razr? Can be the stock ROM.

If you have an XT912, you can use Matt's Utility.
For XT910, use RSDLite to flash your stock ROM.

Well, some had luck to RSD even when fastboot was not available.
You should re-install the drivers. Also, there's a chance your battery is out of power.You'll need a factory cable in that case.

I know I'm really late but you don't need a factory cable if your phone battery is dead. You can cut off the tip of your cell phone charger's Micro-USB and attach the appropriate wires to the battery terminals inside the phone. I've done this before. I was in Safestrap and wiped my phone's Stock ROM. I bricked my phone and had battery life under 10% so Matt's Droid Utility wouldn't work. There is a video on YouTube showing how to do it. A factory cable is preferable to the method I used because you'll need a new charger obviously.
Hi everyone,
a friend sent me an almost new Redmi Note 2 (I think 2 months old) that he bought while he was living in China, that recently "just stopped working"
Since he's not living there anymore, warranty's not an option and since he was "tired of dealing with it" he sent it to me.
So... when it arrived here, I noticed that it was completely discharged. If you plug it in, the red light goes on, but only stays on for like 5 minutes.
No matter what you do, it won't turn on.
I tried letting it charge overnight, only to find out that it was completely discharged again the next morning. As in... I checked the battery with a voltmeter and it was completely dead again.
I've since gotten a replacement battery, but even with that, it won't turn on.
When I connect it to the computer (with, or without battery) it shows up as "USB Serial Device" and shortly after as "PreLoader USB VCOM Port", but the problem is that it immediately disconnects again, a second later, so I can't actually use SP Flash Tool to do anything with it.
Any idea what's wrong with it, or do you think it's borked beyond repair?
I'm well versed with electronics (electronic engineer) so I could try to open it up, but with these things it's really hard to find any obvious defective parts (let alone replace most of them) so I thought I should ask for your opinion first.
Thanks!
Maybe the USB port is broken or the cable... But well I don't know... (Can't compete with an electronic engineer - I am still a student
But I am interested in your solution if you solved it somehow

I moved SP flash tool and associated files to C:/ and tried a couple of USB ports but got the same result. It has the red bar at 100% and waits for 24-26 seconds before giving the same error code.
Heyo, sorry, I totally forgot about the phone for a good while and just remembered it again.
Okay so... I installed the drivers again and it shows the right ones, but I think I sort of found the issue.
It only ever gets recognized as MTK USB Port and not as MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port.
Unless all the guides are wrong, I need to press Volume+ after plugging it in, to start it in the other mode, but that only worked once when I was trying stuff out without SP Flash tool open and i accidentally unplugged it again. Now it just never goes into the DA mode again.
