I flashed the Liberty ROM and can't get past the boot screen, it's been sitting there for about 35 minutes. I can't pull the battery b/c last time I put the battery back in I accidentally put it in over top the little red tape you use to pull it. Does anyone know how to get past the boot screen w/o pulling the battery; or does anyone know how to pull the battery w/o having to use the red tape?
Did you wipe data/cache before and/or after flashing the ROM? For taking the battery out...maybe use something non-conductive to (gently) pry it out?
Why don't you want to use the pull tab to remove the battery? That is what it's made for
I Know that's what it's made for; it just got caught underneath the battery. Anyway, I got the battery out but I can't get it into clockwork. I flashed the Apex ROM because I couldn't get the Liberty ROM to do anything. Now the Apex ROM won't let me reboot into clockwork. Any ideas? I've tried plugging it up and then taking the battery out and hitting power and volume down; that used to work but it won't work...
wipe data/cache and factory reset, if that doesnt work its time to sbf
I believe that it is now time to sbf
have you tried putting ur battery in, plugging in ur phone to ur wall charger let it do its charging animation, and then while still plugged in turn on by using the power button, it should boot into clockworkmod

my battery charge icon was replaced by ClockworkMod and now i can't charge my phone when it is turned off. any solution for this problem? thanks.
I think what you mean is when you shut down it reboots into clockwork? Ive had that happen. If thats the case just select reboot and it turns back on / charges
you can't charge it when it's turned off

That is how clockwork works but it should not be a problem as your phone is still charging regardless if it's sitting in clockwork or on in Adroid.

it reboots in clockwork only when the usb cable is plugged in ac.
i turn off my phone at night and charge it. that's why it bothers me.
but it seems there's no solution for that. i'd would have to uninstall clockwork, then?
Why don't you just leave your phone on?
or just put it on silent.
ok. i was just wondering if that could be fixed. thanks.
Just unplug the cable before shutting it down, then plug it back in after it is fully shutdown.
phone died
ya my phone died completely in my pocket and didnt have enough power to boot,
but i had the same problem with my old htc 8125 and had a solution ready
some htc phones, (2 that i have) htc aria and htc 8125 cant run without battery because there isnt a direct connection from the usb port to the battery.
the phones OS charges the battery once its booted, so with a dead battery you cant do jack. this just happened to me with aria. before i would just plug it in and the battery icon would pop up. but now its clockworks recovery. left phone plugged in for hours and still nothing. i had a usb cable cut up from when my 8125 did this and it worked for the aria too. so if your aria dies, google how to fix 8125 dead battery problem. basicly you take a usb cable and cut it expose the + and - power cables and touch them direct to the battery + and - for about 5-10 mins to give it a boost of power then boot it up. once booted the issue is gone, till your battery dies again. Im assuming the aria fixed the old problem with the recovery where recovery can run with direct power cause i could get to clockwork all day long with dead battery, but could not get it to boot till i jump started the battery.
that means i won't be able to charge my phone if the battery dies?
(unless i "jump start" the battery?)

I'm pretty sure the wall-charge adapter will always charge the phone. It always has full juice to the USB pins whereas a USB host only supplies a minimal current to the device then the device must request more from the host once communications are established (part of the USB specifications).
Attn1 has a procedure of flashing ROMs without flashing CMmod, i did that. Now i have liberated aria rom with stock recovery. It works correct.

i think i'll just wait my battery die and see if i can charge it then.
i hope i won't lose my phone forever. hehe.
I think it should be considered as bug then?

No, because even before you flashed clockwork, the phone is never off during charge. If you shut down and plug in, it would boot that big green battery (which was part of the old recovery) and eventually sleep. But it was not off. No Clockwork bug - just a crappy HTC design.
Uninstalling clockwork or patching the phone?

Sorry, I didn´t see this thread before, and I asked about this issue in others.
Isn´t it possible to run an update using clockwork to change it to work in the normal way, at least just with a black screen, not starting the clockwork recovery... Its just to minimize the probability to make mistakes, the clockwork interface could be dangerous if you don´t know what you are doing...
I´ve seen a "patch" to run live wall papers on Aria: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6953168#post6953168
It would be possible to make a similar patch for this case? I´m just wondering...
What if I uninstall the clockwork recovery replacing it with the original?, is it possible?
Is there anyway to change it back to the battery, but leave clockwork on? My mom just got the aria, and I rooted it to flash the sense ROM here. Is there anyway to take off clockworks, or return the battery charge animation on the phone?
The battery charge screen is part of the original recovery and there is no way that I know of to have two recoveries on the same recovery partition, so I'd have to say "no".
This will bring back the battery charging animation instead of clockwork
Attn1 pointed me the way in irc.
Basically, you flash back the stock recovery using unrevoked. Then when you want to use clockwork, you flash it with unrevoked.

Remember, if its stuck at looking for root, press the power button, and let it continue. For me, it would get stuck there, and I didn't realize thats all that was needed for it to be successful.
I was in recovery mode with the newest version clockwork recovery. I cleared all my caches and formatted the system partition on accident. At that time my phone died before i could plug it back in. Now i am unable to get it past the boot logo. When i plug it in the little charging lite comes on for awhile then the boot screen and the light goes off. I have tried to power on the phone with the power button without any success. The only way it comes on is with power then it doesn't seem to charge. I tried to hold the power + X and that doesn't work either. Anyone got any ideas what is going on with my phone.

You need to have software to charge the D2 you need to find someone with another D2 or D1 and have them charge your battery or buy a new battery or external charger to get your phone on.
After that you probably need to SBF to get the software back on your phone unless you can get into recovery, then don't worry about that.

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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ6JNCvIe8k
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.
I woke up this morning and It appeared that the battery had ran out during the night as the phone was off.
I attempted to turn it on and nothing , plugged in usb charge and nothing (no lights no reaction to me pressing power .. nothing)
I had a spare battery ... nothing
I have tryed hard reset but since I get nothing that also does nothing.
Please help , any ideas?
I have stock winmo6.5 with americandroid running from sd (it would have been running android last night) , no new installs etc being this setup for months
1. First remove battery for some time, let it rest at room temperature.
then put battery with some charge into HD2, double check that battery connectors are clean
2. plug in wall charger into HD2
3. press and hold red reset button inside HD2 case
4. turn on while still pressing red button
5. after some while release red reset button
6. pull out battery repeat from step 1 if it doesn't boot up
try this several times, if this doesn't help you should look into motherboard fault.

Thank you for your reply , I have tried what you suggested but as of yet I have had no luck. Do you have any other suggestions?
you say you had a spare battery, was it charged?
you also said you were running android from SD, would your phone normally boot to android by its self or would it go to WM?
MAGLDR is a bit of a pain when it comes to the battery. if your unsure about the spare battery then get yourself an external charger and charge one up, there is a way of doing this manually with an old USB cable but id suggest get a charger

It booted up in stock wm6.5 - no rom / radio updated since I got it from HTC , I would then use the file explorer to navigate to the android folder and boot it that way.
99% of the time I would have it running android (only time it was in wm6.5 was when battery ran dead and I had to turn it back on)
The spare battery would have had charge , my friend has the same phone so I shall try her battery tomorrow but I'm thinking its not the battery
The strange thing is that it was working when I went to sleep, and I did nothing to it , no apps installed or roms installed etc and next morning I got nothing!! I MISS MY PHONE lol
I will acknowledge from the get-go that this is probably my fault entirely. I was quite tired and fell asleep but in the mean time, I was doing a nandroid backup of my phone - which at the time was running stock rom and stock kernel. I actually had just done the factory reset on the phone too. But my phone is rooted and has the unlocked bootloader. Anyways, I left it on my table while it was backing up, I saw the progress bar and everything was working fine and dandy but this is when I fell asleep. It was on an ac wall charger overnight and I woke up to find it flashing the red light when plugged in only.
So from looking around, some people have said it is the case where the phone is completely discharged and to have it charging for a while, but I'm not sure if this applies to me since I already had it on charge the whole night? What's my situation here?
In any case, I'll be going out to buy my tools, would it just be the T5 Torx screwdriver?
Edit: When the phone is plugged into any charger the red flashing light is persistent, however I did notice that when I plugged it in via usb and my computer, I first got a glimpse at the white battery charging screen for a moment, then the phone would return back to its red flashing
Anyone?
Just from playing around it more I realized that, ONLY when plugged via usb to my computer, I will get that initial solid red light, then the screen with the battery and lightning bolt.
****I realized that if I held the power button on that battery screen, the phone appears to boot up, and I get the black page with "Google", for a short moment then it shuts off and resumes flashing the red light.
Is it because theres not enough charge to fully boot the phone? I already had it plugged in overnight so this really didn't make sense to me.
And I don't know if it the phone actually charges when I have it plugged in and the red light is flashing.
Take the back off and unplug, replug the battery

Instead of trying to boot the phone up, try to get into recovery. Most people that had this type of issue managed to get into recovery and from there reboot..
If that doesn't work, and you manage to get into the recovery, do your wipes, or flash another rom.
If i were you i'd try all those lil tricks, if nothing works, then i'd be thinking about taking the back plate off and unpluging the battery.

How would I get into recovery? Do you mean by holding the power and volume down? I was sure I tried all other ways of holding the power but the most it will give me is the google screen.

Yes, you said that at the battery screen holding power will get you to the google logo, but if you tried holding power+vol down and it's not working, then i guess u don't have much options here..
