I was using the Spike Pure ICS rom untill I flashed CM 7.2. Now my phone won't boot into Recovery at all. I tried flashing the ICS version of Lite'ning Rom through Odin, but it gets stuck at "factoryfs.img" and I have no idea as to what to do.
Also, I tried flashing the stock Gingerbread firmware after a couple of hours but it says that the battery is low. Will this method work?
Moreover, will I be able to charge my phone while its in this condition?

Can you get into download mode by holding the power, home and volume down buttons when the phone is off? Also, try taking the battery out of your phone for five minutes and then replacing it. Do you get any splash screen (Galaxy S2 Logo) when the phone is powered on? If you can get into download mode, flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com. As for your battery problem, I can't see why plugging your phone in to the charger wouldn't work. Give the download mode and battery remove and replace a go first.

I was able to get the phone into Download mode till yesterday night. Though I left my phone connected to the USB port all night, it now says that the phone has low battery to get into Download mode. That's why I asked whether it would get charged or not!
I've downloaded the XWKL1 firmware and also the kernel and want to flash it as soon as my phone gets charged (if it gets charged!).
Firstly, check the sticker on the chassis of the phone under the battery & check what model you have. Secondly, if the battery won't charge, try another battery. Thirdly, if you still can't get into download mode or any other signs of life from the phone with a new battery, service centre.
Thanks for the help MistahBungle & themadba!!
I flashed the stock GB Rom through Odin. Now I'll root it, flash CWM and start flashing again!!
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

The led color,is it white?
If it is,then you must make or buy the factory cable and flash your stock rom with RSD Lite.

yes,its white
now i have managed somehow to turn it on
but the problem is that stock ROM in safestrap is always Disabled ,i cant use it ?
so i can use it only with factory cable? whats so special in it ?
do i have to use only original stock rom ? shouldnt safestrap to bypass it ?

If you can turn it on then your battery is ok,just flash your stock rom with RSD Lite,root it,install Safestrap and happy flashing.
The factory cable allows you to flash the fastboot (stock rom) files when your battery is too low.
Did you try to get in to fastboot mode?
Pressing vol- vol+ and power button at the same time?
Look what's written for the battery,Battery OK-good,Battery Low-you need the factory cable.

first. installing safestrap and boot menu manager at same time is not recommended.
second. if I understood you, you flashed cm11 over stock ROM. but you provide no info about how you did it.My guess is you didn't wipe all recommend partitions.
that leads me to third, your battery stats probably were messed up. next time you charge it try to wipe your battery stats, there is apps in play store that will do it for you. some people say it doesn't does a difference, certainly your battery will not magically improve, but it does corrects weird behaviors.
If it doesn't works, try using RSD as welder73 told you. troubleshooting is easier in a clean and working system. what I am proposing is worthy to try if you have data that you cannot loose.
note: don't know how factory cable works, but I hope you are using it instead of directly connecting cable to the battery. cause charge might not be controlled if you charge directly to battery terminals... if you let it charge too much time it can damage battery.
xt910 can be a RAZR MAXX but not a MAXX HD which is a totally different phone.

ok. when you get into fastboot and try to RSD and get a Low Battery warning, the is no other way left... charge battery. or get a factory cable, there is a thread explaining how to build one.
first question. you have to choose one of them. for newbies, safestrap cause all new ROMs are prepared to work with that program. if later, u decide to test bout menu manager, you will have to uninstall safestrap ( of course you will not be able to use any ROM installed with safestrap). since boot menu manager is no longer supported, you will need to mod ROM zip file prior to flashing that's why i recommend sticking to safestrap for now. Don't install both, they are not meant to work together.
second question. To install in stock ROM, you have to wipe everything except sdcard and sd-ext where you personal data is (never tried, so can't help you more). for slot1 Wiping is not necessary first time, cause slot1 is fresh. next time yo install other ROM you will have to wipe data, cache and system. double check what you ate doing, so you don't wipe stock instead of slot1.
Wipe options are in safestrap.
SafeStrap and Boot Manager
I have accidently installed both apps on my Motorola Razr XT910 and my phone is now stuck on the red logo - I cannot get it into the bootloader to unbrick it with RSD Lite. Is there anybody who can advise ?

Yes,but flash the Europian fastboot file.
And don't try to flash ICS if your stock was JB.
You can flash JB fastboot file with RSD Lite if you want,that way you'll upgrade to JB.
About RSD Lite,I unzip file with it,if I remember correctly,click on start,choose decompress only and find your zip.

Okay.. I have a similar problem which I have ran into now..Yesterday I was just using my phone normally and was trying to call someone, when the phone immediately shut down..my guess was that the battery stats were screwed up..So I tried charging it and even I had the question mark on the battery when I connected it to the charger. I couldn't switch on the phone manually. I was on PA android jellybean 4.3.1. So should I also need a factory cable or something to restore my phone??
Thanks in advance
Hello,
My razr xt910 had stock rom and MIUI on 1st slot using safestrap and everything was going well then today the device shutdown as the battery was low, When I connect it to the wall charger it boots just to the MOTOROLA logo "the first one.. before the safestrap menu" I mean there is no sign that its charging or so and when I connect it to the PC only the led notification goes on.
I left it for while on the wall charger then the screen goes off just after I unplug it from the charger and I'm not able to boot it up again. so I back to plug it again. after many tries I managed to boot to safestrap recovery and changed the rom slot to the stock rom as I thought the problem with the MIUI rom restarted system and same problem happens.
and when I managed to pass the safestrap menu to the stock rom the device stuck at boot animation and either it keeps animating forever or it goes off after short time. tried to boot to fastboot menu (power+ vol down) it says battery low so...
- Is it really charging when it's connected to wall charger (showing moto logo) or when it's connected to the pc (led notification on) ? I tried to press vol down on both like some tutorial said but it didn't show the battery.
- After searching for solution, I didn't find the same problem happened to someone but similar ones that all were suggested to flash using rsdlite. can I flash different version of the stock one? I mean for my region there's 2 ics frimwares and I don't remember which one was the device on so it's ok to use any? Also if rsdlite is suggested in my case could you please provide detailed steps as I didn't use rsdlite or to flash frimwares before "was just flashing custom roms using SS". And how would I use while everytime I go to fastboot menu I see battery low msg .
- Could the problem be a battery's one? As the device sometimes goes off just after unplugging it and I can't power on it even I left it on wallcharger for like 30 mins.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I think RSDlite is the solution. So if your phone says low battery. There's a way to charge it with the normal charging cable. I bricked my phone about two months ago. I know that installing something wasn't the cause of this problem but i ALWAYS still any ROM or zip file with 80% charge, no less. Assuming that u still got the stock ROM and system folder. If not then it won't work.
1. Press power + vol down + vol up at the same time.
2. Go into AP fastboot
3. Press the power button. The screen should turn off at this point.
4. Plug in charging cable, after that the Motorola logo will show up. After that I don't remember if charging battery icon came up or screen goes black. I don't think it does. Sorry. But if does, then yay???
5. Let it charge for 1 hour or more. Just so that the charge is okay.
6.Check if its charging by going in AP fastboot and checking if battery is okay.
It worked for me on my spyder. Since I still had my stock ROM and my system folder wasn't deleted. If this doesn't charge then you have to buy one of those special charging cables.
If this works for you reply. IDK if installing firmware is different for xt910 but ik how to for xt912. It fairly easy.

Thanks for your reply,
now the problem is that I can't boot it when it's unplugged and when I try to do this while plugging, it still shows the same.. Moto logo without any sign to be charging.
Just saw some solutions that require me to open the back battery cover and connect the wires to the battery, but I'm really afraid to proceed with these steps to mess with the device :/
Also a solution said that the device doesn't charge like this, so I have to get a "factory cable" and do the rsllite thingy using this cable.
Is this method recommended? isn't there any easier way to try before proceeding with this ?
The easiest way to charge it is they way I said. But if you can't do that then factory cable is your other option.

Thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:
Before taking the decision to make the factory cable I gave some tries because I'm not really experienced with this and wanted the easiest way to fix it. And I did managed to reach the safestrap menu and tried to charge it.
At first safetrap showed battery 99% after a while It changed to 5%+ I assumed it's charging that way and that actually was happening
I waited till it passed 60% and tried to reboot the system to stock slot but it I couldn't!! it stuck again at the stock rom's boot animation.
I forced to shutdown (power + vol down) then installed Liquid smooth rom that I had stored there and it was done successfully and I managed to boot into it. so now the problem is I can't boot to the stock rom but safetrap still works and I can boot to the any other slot. that means the problem I had before may occur again if the battery went low.
Now I will have to use rsdlite to flash the stock rom (unbrick it) right? If yes, Are there any steps that should be done first? I mean should I delete the other slots and keep only the stock one or it won't affect rsdlite?

If you want to get stock back then yes. Cuz I don't if installing a ROM on stock will fix it. But before you do anything,backup your files on internal storage to a computer.

Sorry for bothering you But I wanted to ask about something before starting the rsd to install the frimware.
Now as I told before I can boot to safestrap menu and can boot to other slots but not the stock one so...
- Can I install the frimware using safestrap?
- Should I try to boot the stock recovery and try a factory reset to the stock rom? if yes, will that affect safestrap? I mean if it didn't fix the stock rom will I still have access to safestrap? in other words Will safestrap will be still installed after doing a factory reset from the stock recovery?
Thanks alot for your help

Have you tried booting in to Safestrap, switching to the stock Rom and then wiping Cache and Dalvik? I would always try that before a factory reset. Also, if you are running the Xposed Framework in your stock slot the next step I would recommend is that you try flashing the xposed disabler. If you don't have the xposed disabler on your SD card you can download it from the thread that you originally downloaded xposed from.

I've just switched to the stock and wiped Dlavik and cache (by safestrap) and still same problem... stuck at boot animation
I've never installed xposed before.
Shall I do a factory reset through the stock recovery or it will delete safestrap?

I Deleted my stock slot and installed SlimKat over it and Safestrap still so I think Safestrap must insert code between the bootloader and the actual Rom. but I'm not 100% sure. Do a nandroid backup of your Miui slot and then try it. you can always reinstall Safestrap if you lose it.
Hello everyone,
I've have CM11 had been installed over 4.0.1 via SafeStrap to ROM slot 1. I wanted to clean stock rom and wiped it all. After phone stays on Moto logo...
I've read and prepared RSDLite and drivers to flash my failed xt910 but I can't because low battery level.
How could I charge battery/flash ROM while phone in this state?

Can you shut your phone down and just keep it plugged into the wall?
Im trying to help also. Not just quoting the obvious to get you upset.
If you press the VOLUME UP and DOWN and POWER keys at the same time it should shut your phone down. Then plug it in for an hour. Should charge your phone up. And if you have your phone plugged into your stock wall adapter and cable it will charge in SafeStrap.
Hi,
If the first suggestion didn't work you could buy a Motorola factory cable and threes is a link for it in eBay http://m.ebay.com/itm/360632413144?nav=SEARCH ,
Or you could make one by yourself using this video https://www.google.com.sa/url?sa=t...seJ6y7yW3I6rdGm3g&sig2=fVLZTy4HBHtqumXyFrLKHg
factory cable works for phone but trying to load ROM to phone was failed without begining
In service we tried one more time - nothing work. Service man loaded ROM via test-points on motherboard. Now I have 4.1.2 European, nice works. Thank you guys.
Congratulation!
