After using the built in psfreedom to hack my PS3 I forgot to remove it from the USB of my PS3 and reboot the phone. So the screen stayed on the psfMod recovery screen all night. And when I try to plug it in to my wall charger its LED light lights up but it doesnt charge. I've left it charging for a good 2 hours but all it does it reboot over and over again to the recovery menu.
Is there a way to get my phone to boot up again?

Ok my buddy has an atrix 4g for ATT. he 'said' he was in cwm and loading a rom and now its softbricked. though i am familiar with droid, after reading recovery threads and everything, im still unsure of my resolution. most threads tell me i need an unlocked bootloader, others say not to flash if you were on this version. Honestly i have no idea if the BL is locked, what version or update he was on. at the moment it says failed to boot, starting RSD mode, battery is too low to flash.
A. will it charge while it says that or how should i charge it in this state?
B. after it does charge, what should i flash to it?
I apologize that i dont have much information. you have no idea how long it took me to find the power button lol. I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks
You definitely need to get more information from him before you can do anything. If his bootloader wasn't unlocked, then he was likely trying to flash one of the P-Roms like Greyblur or Gingerblur, in which case your solution will be a lot messier since the only way I remember accessing recovery back then was by using Tenfar's CWM app that reset it to recovery w/ a wall charger.
As for charging the phone, I don't recommend keeping it on and plugged in, in the chance that it doesn't charge and you are left with a dead battery. When the phone is completely off and you plug the charger in, do you see the charging battery?
When the phone is plugged into the wall charger it boots up automatically and says failed to boot 1, starting rsd, battery too low to flash. If I plug it into my pc the green power light turns on but nothing else happens. I never get any pictures on screen. No battery and no motorola logo. He was on 2.3.4 but he took his sd so I couldn't see what he was trying to flash. I will try to get more info

Same thing happened to me, and I can assure you it doesn't charge in that state. I have to find a way to charge the battery now... It is 0% dead. I hope I can use RSD Lite to fix it when it is charged.
alright, what happened was his battery was too low to finish the flash. it died halfway through, and now the phone is in some sort of limbo state that is just completely unusable.
but, if you have a spare USB cable you can fix this.

just watch that video, and let your phone charge for about half an hour to 45 minutes. after that, reflash the pudding .sbf with rsdlite (unless you can boot into recovery, then you can just reflash any ROM)
If you can boot the phone into recovery by holding the volume down key when powering on, then simply find the alien rom, save onto your SD card from the PC, then install in recovery...then you should be able to reboot into a working phone and charge. If you can't boot into recovery, and the phone is stuck on the "starting rsd protocol" screen, than...I think its a paper weight, but I could be wrong.
Although this problem could probably be fixed by an earlier post, I'm curious....
what would happen if you plugged it into the wall charger, let it boot up into the boot loop, then pulled the battery, left it out for 30 seconds, then put it back in. (this is without unplugging it from the wall charger). Does it allow the phone to stay off and charge, or does it still automatically boot up? Just curious.
im gonna look at the youtube video. ive got a D3 and i saw where a kid had cut a usb cable and made something work for 30 minutes and was able to flash again, but i was def trying to avoid that lol. also, there is no loop really. it doesnt restart, it just sits there. when the battery is pulled, it still stays on the same screen and never powers off until the charger is removed. i may see if i can get a new battery. i really apprecaite the feedback

It will not charge in this state
well my only option at this moment is to try the usb trick. im trying to strip the wire and hook it to the connector on the phone and then just smash teh battery on top of it, but i have no idicator light, so i dont know if its charging. would it charge if i tape/rig/solder it to the battery itself and not have it in the phone? i really dont wanna try a wall outlet charger
I am going to splice a cable and report back with results. My only other option is to charge the battery in my friend's Droid X
If that fails, to AT&T I go.
i havent been able to get it to charge through the usb using the red and black wires. i was very careful and have a decent set of tools to work with. he can buy the external battery charger for $30 if he'd like. im not really sure what else to do at this point.
From what I've read, a bricked phone and the known battery issue seem to have very similar symptoms.
Long story short: I was running a benchmark and the phone turned off and would not turn back on, and there was no red charging indicator. I let it charge overnight and now I have a blinking red charging indicator and I can get into Bootloader and Recovery while plugged in to the stock charger (5V 1.2 amp), but not when plugged into the computer (5V 500mA). I tried restoring AND full wipe/ fresh install and it still won't boot. When plugged into the computer I can get to the bootloader for about half a second and it will turn off. Also I can get into "download mode" on either connection, and I did not have "USB Debugging" enabled when it first turned off. What is download mode and how do I use it?
What do you guys think?

flash the factory img via fastboot.
I have the similar issue, I can't charge the battery, while charging there's about 3mins RED LED last(not flash), hold the three buttons, but just a black screen, no bootloader no download mode.

bootloader is power button + volume down
How? I can't get to fastboot while its hooked up to the computer. It will only go into the bootloader when its hooked to the stock charger.

Hi! I would like to ask if this is normal. I noticed that whenever the phone is OFF, and I connect it either thru a regular USB Port, or a Wall Outlet, the phone automatically Powers On & Boots. I have just flashed 4.4.2 Firmware, and I am also using MaxFour v14 Kernel & PhilzTouch CWM Recovery. Mine is a GT-I9500. It's not like the regular thing that when I charge my phone and it is off, the screen will light up a little, and shows a battery image and how much is already charged in there. And if I turn it off while charging, it will just Power-On and Boot again automatically.
Hope you can give me an advise on this.
Many Thanks!
My Axon was at the twrp menu at 1% this morning so i went to shut it down to charge it but i havent been able to get it back on since. At first, plugging in the charger would prompt a light vibrate and red LED every few seconds but this has slowly stopped and the red LED only flashes every so often when i hold the power button. I've been trying to get into EDL Mode but with no indication from the phone, along with no indication of connection from the computer, I've been unsuccessful. If anyone could offer me some help to even get into EDL mode so i can flash out of this, that would be great. Thanks
Maybe forcing the EDL mode, using a moded USB cable:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3537990
Search for the cable and instructions on that link
It seems like it's trying to boot into EDL mode but the battery isn't taking a charge. Have you tried connecting the phone to the wall charger for like an hour and then connect it to the PC?
Hey,
Today my phone's battery got fully drained and it won't boot again.
I'm on OmniROM, when i connect it to cable, there is no red led and i can't power up the phone.
When connecting to the computer, it is not recognized and i can't power up the phone either.
Can anyone help me ?
Best regards
Try another cable/ac adapter

Had the same issue on omni, flashed other rom at around 20 % to not run into this situation.
Try reconnecting power a few times, maybe you can put enough juice into the battery to boot right into twrp - that's where it might charge - did for others - and where you have to go anyway for a new rom.
I had a similar situation on the stock rom. I had battery but the phone shut down and wouldn't start. When I plugged the phone in it didn't show a charging light. I left the phone plugged in for a few minutes then simply held the power button for about a minute and it eventually booted. Good luck
hii,
Today my phone's battery got fully drained and it won't boot again.
when i connect it to cable, its shows red led for few minutes only after it won't show and i can't power up the phone.
already i charged my phone more than 8 hours but still it is not rebooting.
When connecting to the computer, it is not recognized and i can't power up the phone either.
Can anyone help me ?
Best regards
Try to plug the power cable then firmly push (hold) the power button for 2 minutes. Sometimes this way the stucked phone turns on... Good luck!
