I tried to load up the new gingerbread roms from my current one. I downloaded its content and tried to install it via clockwork.
I first deleted system, logo, and cache followed up by a restore format. When trying to download the new rom, I was getting a weird error that was stopping me from completing the full installation. So basically was in a chokehold because I didn't have any backup files or another working rom in the sd at that time. I just restarted the phone and it for a few times was stuck on the M screen, but now its just green led when I plug it into the computer usb. When plugging it into the outlet, it imediately turns on stuck on the M screen and shuts off when unplugging as if the battery isnt charging at all.
Sounds like ur going to have to sbf.

bootloader is such a rare occurance for me, i just had it come out but it was flashing low battery. the thing is, im not quite sure if its charging if i have it plugged into the computer. when i have it plugged into an outlet, the M splash screen comes up so i'm worried that draining the power..
edit: now it flickers for a split second, am i supposed to hold on to it til something shows up? been like 1 minute
i dont think bricking phone blows your battery. at least i hope it doesnt, was working fine before.
Plug it in without the battery if a question mark comes up you ned to use another battery cuz it won't charge in boot loader and the boot loader should pop up right away hold power volume down and camera button it takes about three seconds

well its basically the same thing. when plug into the outlet it shows the m splash screen with or without the battery.
when its plugged into the compuiter however, its just flickers once. when it is done with the battery in, the led is on forever
EDIT: OBSERVATION
when on the wall, it is actually charging, but REALLY slowly because of the fact that the splash screen stays on. found this out because i had it in for30 min and then tried to connect mit to my comp with bootload and it loaded for a few minutes with the low battery flashing.
is version 320 the latest?
Okay. so it isnt charging as I though because its not working at all... problem is, I dont know if it truly is a battery defect. If I were to Buy a new battery, how would i know if it is charging if it doesnt boot and just stays stuck on the M logo screen?
perhaps I should by a battery charger where i take the battery out and charge it through there? because my bootloader always gives me the same low battery.
Do you have any friends with the same phone? There is also a macgyver (spelling?) Method of doing this by cutting the USB cable open and attaching the cable ends to the battery. However I would only do this if you're really desperate
i just really need make complete sure that this phone is INFACT dead battery
when not plug, it doesnt turn on what so ever with a white spark on the led.
when plugged nto outlet the logo shows but i isnt charging because it isnt booting
when plugged into the computer it is a solid green which i think represent a dead or a low battery state(can someone back thisup?)
Your battery is dead, as in drained, but should work fine once you get your phone to a bootable state again. The problem is that, in the state your phone is in, there's no charging capabilities. Bootloader won't do it, neither will sitting at the M logo. So, you just need to find someone with a compatible battery to let you use it to SBF your phone. Then, boot the phone up completely, and let your battery charge to at least 50-60% before trying to install a ROM. Preferably, I'd go with a full charge, just in case you end up in a similar situation again.
This is nothing to freak out over, you'll be fine.. the only problem you have is that your battery has no juice, as confirmed by the low battery warning in the bootloader, when you successfully got it to load.

thanks for the reassuring comment, however, i think i need to bootload.
i accidently did the partition hat formats everything.. cant recall if it was under clockwork because it didnt have the same interface, i was all light blue text with an ok button on the left corner. Anyway, i've completely destroyed the phone as in no roms no factory.
can I possibly get a dock to charge this battery and then get into bootloader for an sbf session
? Even if I did have battery, im pretty sure i just hover at the logo screen

You definitely need to use the bootloader, and I was implying that in the first reply(SBF'ing requires going into the bootloader). If you had a stand-alone battery charging cradle/dock, that should do the trick. Just make sure to let the battery charge sufficiently. I've successfully gotten an SBF completed, starting with only 30% battery. SBF takes about 7 minutes on my laptop(not that I've timed it, but I usually light up a smoke when I start the process lol). So, as long as the battery is charged enough to no longer give the "Low Battery" warning in the bootloader, you should be fine.
You got your usb cable and put the ends where the battery goes that's how I got mine working try it

Hello,
Ive been an iphone user for the longest time and wanted an introduction to the android world so I picked up a droid x with clean esn for a really decent price.
The original problem was that it was stuck at the boot loader screen with an error code, I was able to get to a clean boot loader screen with cam+vol down and power, where I attempted to flash back a stock image. The boot loader showed 30.04.
The flash failed, and my screen was stuck at "SW Update in Progress" or similar, after which the unit completely powered down and has not come back up since.
I have tried new batteries, charging stock battery, all the tricks for trying to turn it on, removing battery and putting back in etc. and I cannot get any sign of life from the device besides a green charge light when plugging in via USB to computer (no light when plugged into wall charger). A couple times I could get the usb connection/disconnection sound from windows, but now I cant even seem to get that.
About to sell it on ebay for parts but wanted to check with the pros first to see if there is any other options I can try.
Thanks.
Try getting another, fully charged, Droid X battery, and using it to attempt the SBF process.
Then try to SBF the device.
Edit: Which SBF file did you try to flash the phone with?

Well, I bought a new battery on ebay with a charger, charged that over 24 hours, charged the OEM one for 24 hours.. not a response.
New battery read 4volts on multimeter, OEM read around 2.5.
I think I flashed it with VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf
Attached is the log from the flash if it helps
ended up selling it for $50 so someone thought they could either use it for parts or fix it, which is just as well I only paid $25 for it.
Thanks guys.
I flashed my Defy with a custom ROM months ago and never had a problem. I left my phone for a few days and it's completely drained of its battery. I try to charge it using my USB cable connected to my PC, but the Defy doesn't show the animation where the battery is shown being charged; just the white LED and a black screen. When I hit the power button, it shows "bootloader 09.10, battery low cannot program". I know I flashed my phone correctly and have no idea why this screen is being shown. I didn't try to charge via wall outlet, I'm currently on vacation and only brought the USB cable with me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: My phone is a regular MB525, flashed with with a custom Gingerbread that was posted in this very forum. On my PC the model reads MB526...
Once battery is fully drained occassionally Defy takes time to even boot up. So leave it in that state (Connected to USB ) for couple of hours and try again.
Tried and didn't work, I'm hoping plugging into the AC charger will fix this...though that won't be happening for another week..
Have you the possibility to try the battery in another defy or to use another battery?
Not until about a week..
Don't worry, your Defy will get charged when connected to wall plug.
Mine was the same situation as it won't charge on total empty battery over USB port.
But it charging normally as soon as I plug it to wall charger.
just make sure you don't flash it with any SBF!
OP! i had exact same problem and it snowballed into something huge. It started same as you did, my fone ran out of juice as I was in my office and I couldn't get USB port to charge it, all I had was white LED and black screen in my office. So, at home i plugged it into wall charger for 5 or more hours and I still couldn't see the battery that shows its charging, I tried a different wall charger and still same results.
Then my phone begin to atleast fired up in wall charger but got stuck in Moto M logo. I could only access bootloader and not the Boot recovery for some reason. I been stuck here since, my battery was fully charged externally and yet nothing, I even tried every combo (SIM in, SIM out, SD Card in, SD Card Out) etc but I couldn't get into boot recovery so I could just hard reset my Defy. I could only access the bootloader.
At that point I flashed by Defy with 2.1 SBF's like 7 of them with same results, no matter what SBF file I successfully flashed with I could for the life of me get into boot recovery.
Now, i am just sick and tired and hate Defy because its effed up. I am taking it to the shop i purchased it from tomorrow.
i guess im having almost the same problem.
my defy doesnt boot, only shows the white LED.
it is recognised by the RSD, but nothing happens.
cant boot, doesnt show anything on the screen.
what should I do?
macgyver is not working either
I had a similar issue and I used the macgyver trick and flashed a new sbf. The rom you are using possibly doesn't support charging in the off state.

as a total android/motorola user
and i appear to be having the same issue, bootloader only!!
Could i ask what and where is the official unmodified rom for this phone.
Thank you.

I am somewhat pleased to report that a mains powered charger seems to be charging the phone...
Did the mains powered battery charger solved your problem?
I have to fix my girlfriend phone that seems to have the same issue.
Could you post the model or a link to the model of battery charger you have used?

Thank you for your help.
Unfortunately that solution didn't fix the battery problem... and also the McGyver method didn't work.
I'm afraid that my girlfriend will need a new battery.
She was using an aged MIUI rom (more or less six months old). After the battery replacement should I have to flash the stock Froyo CEE rom via RSD or do you think that the will works again?
Did u fixed the problem ? How ?
I`m in same posture...
I'm still in the same situation. The battery is on stuck at 5%, even if I change the one I own with another one. I can't flash via RSD and I don't know how to fix this problem.

Are you SURE the macgyver hack was done right? Did you use a usb port of a powered usb hub????
Sorry to ask but getting the wires to hold in place was difficult and if the usb port cant provide enough power then the macgyver hack wont work IME....

Sorry for the delay, buddy, I tried a different times and I asked also to another friend to try, as double control, but it didn't work.
Actually I send the phone to the assistance center... and I'm keeping my finger crossed.

Damn, that's a shame...Hopefully its just a corrupt rom, the new boot loader is brick-proof I believe.
I rooted mine after upgrading and its a cracking little android phone...Actually, it doesn't get used as a phone, but a portable computer/gps.
Hi I'm having issues with my Motorola Atrix.
I tried loading a firmware, but I think I might have bricked it.
Whenever I boot up the phone now it gets stuck at the Motorola screen.
When I try to hook it up to a PC it won't turn on and the green LED light is the only thing that goes on.
If I plug it in to the wall it will boot, but only load to the motorola splash screen and stays there forever.
I get no error messages.
If I try to do a fast boot, the phone tells me the battery is too low to flash.
Does anything have any suggestions?
Edit: It looks like the phone won't charge. I bought a new battery, and it works at first, but once the phone dies it won't charge again.
Can you give more details....what you were installing and can you cycle through the other boot modes.

There are many threads about this, many threads! The new battery should have only had a partial charge, and wouldn't have lasted for long. Take a old usb cable and cut the end off and strip the insulation back and tape the appropriate ends to the appropriate contacts on the battery and let it charge for a bit. Then put the battery back in your phone and try again

Could you direct me to one of those forums? I have looked and I can't find anything. Is there something physically wrong with the phone and can't charge?
Hi everyone,i have a problem with my Droid Razr M i got this phone a week ago or so, rooted it right away and removed all the bloatware. I charged my Phone before i went to bed,and when i woke up, i found it dead,first i thought that battery was dead,but when i plugged it to the. wall charger nothing happens but flashing green notification light upper left corner. Now im stuck,i got new contract with Verizion but without my phone. Called to store wich gave me false warranty information by associate,now WALL MART or either Verizion refused to exchange my phone making me call back and forth. I have tried all the button combinations and searched all over the internet but couldnt find any solution to resolve this problem. As far as i noticed my battery won't charge,sometimes it shows charging battery and goes back again,cant bring it even to stock recovery.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem ?

Try holding volume down and pressing power button to get into BL mode...then u might be able to flash stock firmware again from the Dev forum.
How long have you left it on the charger? Also if it is bad firmware you should get a Factory Adapter from shop.TeamBlackhat.info. These will power the device even when the battery is dead so that you can flash the stock firmware.
