Okay, so I figured I botched my install of my NAND ROM, and had low battery, and that was the only problem, yet I charged my battery externally, and then put it back in and it doesn't work.
I plug the phone in via USB and it boots into MAGLDR perfectly fine. When I try to boot out of MAGLDR into a ROM or into CWR then the screen goes blank half way through like the battery is dead.
Is it possible that I have damaged some component in the phone itself that transfers battery power to the phone? Or maybe I"m not actually charging the battery? Or I've nuked the battery somehow? I bought a replacement battery online but from China it takes a while to arrive....
You probably don't have a ROM flashed. Try flashing either a ROM or CWM using option #5 USB Flasher in MAGLDR and then either boot the ROM or CWM.

Everything's normal when I try to charge with the system on.. But when I plug in the usb cable from the electricity slot, it shows up the battery which shows the percentage and a non-spinning refreshing circle in it. It doesn't spin at all. Waited 5+ minutes for the percentage to arrive. After I hard powerdown the device (holding down the power button for 6-7 seconds) I can still open it and use it without any problems. Recent error, restoring from my CWM backup right now.
Anyone had this before?
I still have it after the perfect restore. Really weird.
Edit: Wiped to factory. Still no luck.
Restoring back to my original settings now. Gonna try after then gonna go to sleep. Tomorrow going to try with the modaco rom.
For further use;
I installed my ROM from scratch with odin. Original recovery was installed, no cwm. The green battery showed with the original recovery. Rooted phone, installed a few apps and the green battery was still there. Installed CWM with eurotab bootstrapper. Green battery isnt there anymore.
Cost of CWM.
During my flash to CyanogenMod somehow my phone set itself to boot into cwm whenever the phone was connected to my computer. I should stipulate this only happens when the phone off. When plugging it in, while phone is on, no problem.

This has been a known issue with ClockworkMod. It did not happen when you flashed CM. The original battery charging screen was located in HTC recovery image and that is what was shown when you were charging your phone with it powered off (it never really is powered off; more like a hibernated state). Since ClockworkMod has now replaced the original HTC recovery, that battery charging screen is no longer available, so CWM displays its screen when you are charging the phone in a powered off state.

You say it's a known issue, is there a known fix?

There is nothing to fix. If you leave your phone on while it's charging it's not an issue, because the screen will turn off and a few minutes. If you power it off while it's charging, it will display the CWM screen. It's still charging, but the screen will stay on.
If you want the battery charging screen back, then you need to replace CWM with the stock HTC recovery image.

1) I'm not uninstalling cwm though, am I?
2) Never done this procedure, "replace CWM with the stock HTC recovery image", how would I do this?

1. Yes, you would be removing CWM and replacing it with the stock HTC recovery.
2. Run the original HTC RUU (ROM update utility) and reflash the phone back to stock.

Not looking for stock, that's why I flashed it

Well, in other words, this is known behaviour for CWM and there is no fix. If you don't want it to happen, as tpbklake was trying to get across to you, either don't plug your phone in while it's off (i.e. charge while it's on) or go back to stock.
If you're looking to just flash a custom ROM then never mess with again, you could try using unrevoked to flash the stock recovery image. But as all of the other posters have said, if you want the useful recovery features of CWM there's no getting around the USB issue.
I looked into this awhile ago myself and picked up the stock recovery image, but never tried it out. (stock recovery image is attached)
I find it kinda funny how many people can turn off their phone and plug it in to charge and see a giant animated battery icon and somehow think that the phone is still completely off? That should be the dead give away that its on, in some state anyway. But enough goofin, like was said above, whether you're seeing that battery icon or seeing the cwm screen, the phone is charging and either way its not really off.
I've found that either when I remove my battery or I let it die, my phone doesn't turn back on. I have an external charger, and the spare battery I bought doesn't work.
Sometimes, even after charging my current battery to 100%, it won't start my phone. Nothing works, except if I plug it in to the computer VIA usb, but then it'll still stop half way through the ANDROID screen.
I think I read somewhere about how when the battery dies, or when the battery is removed, it can corrupt the NAND?
I've not been able to use my phone as a daily build, because sometimes the battery is off, and after 12% it turns off the phone. I cannot turn it back on. It can sometimes take me a day of fooling with it pressing the buttons and then it decides to turn on.
IS there work being done to modify MAGLDR to charge? Or to prevent errors from occurring when the battery dies/is removed?
I love this device, but when I can only use it 3 days a week because of battery issues, it makes me really consider switching to a Galaxy S2.
Can anyone here confirm?
this is not like my phone at all

Have you took a good look at you battery pins? You may have one bent out of alignment.
If your pins are good then try this. If you have Clockwork Mod Recovery imstalled boot into CWM and go to Wipe partitions. When that is done go back to the main menu of CWM and go to install zip from sdcard. Then find the zip file for your ROM (assuming you still hav it on your SD card) and flash your ROM again. If you don't want to have to set everythinv back up you can make a Nandroid backup first usinv the backup and restore option of CWM. After you flash your ROM again go back to backup and restore and select advanced restore and only restore the data and the cache.
If you do not have CWM bit installed your ROM via option #5 USB Flasher and DAF file then rum a Task 29 and then reflash MAGLDR and then your ROM
If none of thos works you probably have harware issues.
Hi, I just got an atrix two days ago and today tried flashing a ROM via CWM.
After following all of the original posts instructions correctly, the phone rebooted, and would not charge, or even boot into android D:
No red LED or error message, it would just sit at the booting screen.
Another strange thing, whenever I would plug the AC adapter into the phone, it would automatically boot, also mentioned by another person which flashed the ROM...

I tried using RSDlite but it says the battery is too low to flash. Same issue with Fastboot.
What should I do? I can't charge the phone, and whenever I connect it to my computer I get a solid Green LED.
Please help me D:

Thank you in advance
**sorry if this is in the totally wrong section, i'm freaking out a bit right now and posted here incorrectly. my apologies.
You could try and get a battery charger for your battery. Ebay or amazon.
Also if your battery is really low sometimes it won't power on just buy plugging it into the wall or computer untill it has more then 10% charge. So if you plug it in and get a green light let it set a while it may be charging. Few hours should do the trick.
I am impatient so I used an old usb cable, cut the end off that would normally attach to a device, and stripped the wires that were red and black. On the back of your battery there is a positive and negative sign just attach the red to positive and the black to negative. Using tape I taped them down so they wouldnt move, plugged it in, and waited for a while for the battery to charge. Monitor the temperature of the battery to make sure it don't get hot. If it does unplug it, disconnect and order a battery charger. Something isnt right.
Once charged for a while put the battery back into the phone which allowed me to flash fastboot and RSD. Now make sure you have a full battery before doing this again.
I am not responsible for damage you inflict on yourself or phone. This can be dangerous. Electric shock, fires, exploding battery, etc may occur. Please try at your own risk. But this is what I did, ive learned my lesson to never flash on a low battery. Always charge fully.
You could also put the battery back in the phone and not have to wait for the battery to charge. Although you risk destroying your phone. And not just your battery.

Hi. Like you mentioned I had the same issue. I managed to fix it!
Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
Download .zip for your carrier (Att or international) and then enter to CWM Recovery:
Plug your mobile to wall charger and hold volume down button. Then press volume down until you see android recovery - press up and it will lunch CWM recovery (I'm assuming You have got CWM installed for unlocked and you have unlocked BL). Then wipe your data and simply apply zip that you have downloaded. This Solved my problem.
I don't what caused the problem but What i did was:
1. I have Unlocked BL using pudidng for international.
2. Flashed via fastboot system.img for 2.3.4 OrangeFR
3. Applied fix for RAM
4. Installed CWM for Unlocked
5. Nand Backup
6. Applied cherry blur in CWM
7. Applied RAM fix for 4.5.91
Up to this point - no problems. I restored all apps via titanium. I went to sleep and when I woke up this morning my mobile was off and I couldn't switch it on.
I have connected to the charger and then the mobile went on immediately. After few sec went off again and then on. I thought the battery is dead untill I've read this thread.
Things I can do ONLY while my mobile is connected to charger:
1. Enter fastboot - but I'v got msg that battery is to low to flash...
2. Enter CWM Recovery
3. Once I'm in CWM I can unplug from Charger and connect to PC.
3. ADB sees my device

To me cherry ROM drained my battery from 50% to 0% over the night and somehow I wasn't able to charge my mobile and even switch it off with the battery inside. This is strange...
I have the same problem with cherry blur... everything is perfect but battery life is suckinng

Faced same issue - fixed
Hey there,
i faced the same issue couple of days back. My battey was completely drained. As soon as I connected my phone to ac charge, it would star and stuck at the Moto logo without charging the battery at all. I was able to rebot my phone to recovery, but none of the recovery zip worked for me. I was not able to use flashboot since always got the low battery warning.
Finally had to order the spare battery charger from Amazon and charge my battey to boot into flashboot and flash the HKTW image. Once i flashed to HKTW i was bale to apply the latest 4.5.91 zip using CWM. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
SK

Go to local AT&T and ask to leave your battery in a display for a few hours and come back and pick it up.
Yes, I accidentally did this. And the phone (SM-N900W8) has been inoperable ever since. Can not get into recovery, can not flash firmware, can't do anything. It powers on, and I can get into download mode but ODIN can not revive phone. Odin gives a PASS but the phone does not reboot into recovery or original OS or anything.... I've flashed stock firmware but no go...
So the question is what got damaged when I removed the battery while the phone was charging?
Im no computer expert and on my older and low power phones, I could often 'hot swap' a battery and still keep it powered and operating. I suspect when you removed the battery there was a tiny micro static charge and/or power surge that fried something or other inside....
