or what if i try the new update that is out now?
problem is i can't figure out how to do that either.. ugghh...
You said you used rom manager I believe that is your problem. rom manager wont do a wipe right now. you need to use tenfers cwm or fastboot to wipe. There is a flashable tenfers cwm just do a search I believe it was in a thered about rom manager. Once I get on a computer ill send you a link.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173879&highlight=Rom+manager&page=6
this is where I got it from if it works don't forget to click the thanks button
Edit: you can still use rom manager but only to reboot into recovery then you have to do everything manually
backup your system, install stock rom via fastboot, wipe via fastboot, try to charge with the phone off.
Did you ever get this fixed if so what was the fix?

Lol I laughed
Try this:
1. Remove the battery
2. While the battery is out, plug in the charger
3. When the large battery question mark appears, put the battery back in
4. Wait a couple of minutes, then disconnect the charger
5. Turn on the phone and see if the problem is gone
Of course, it's possible that you fried the chip in the battery, and nothing will work short of a new battery.
im sorry this happened to you. but its refreshing to see an original problem around here besides a bootloop/brick lol. Id suggest fastbooting to a new rom or sbf to one.

I tried to restore my droid using the sbf file and instead it showed up as failed. Now when I try to turn on my droid it says "battery low, code corrupt, cannot program" I left it on the charger for 3 hours and it just became really hot. Does anybody know what to do or is my DX done for? =(
In the dev section there are instructions on how to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 using the sbf, should try that out and it will work for you. Unfortunately just flashing without using the extra steps described in that forum will result in what you are experiencing. Even if you are not downgrading still follow the directions.

You should be able to charge your phone with the wall charger when your phone is turned off.
I would also consider downloading the sbf again. It is possible that the sbf is corrupt or some such thing. And those directions are great, just make to follow them to the T (sorry if you already had, just reinforcing in case).
It will not take an sbf flash if the battery is under 50%. You can download another working sbf below if you want to try another.

None of those are working for him.he said he already sbf'd so im guessing he knows how to downgrade.I had the same problem, all u have to do is purchase a new battery and try it again.the reason why is because the phone is corrupted and the phone does not recognize the battery to keep the charge.

No he has only mentioned sbf'ing once so far. My guess is he doesn't know how to downgrade (hasn't done it before) he was just taking a shot at it and it became corrupted. BTW I've done an sbf without the battery at all. It's not difficult, you can setup your pc drivers to do everything with the phone set on "Charge Only". In fact I always use charge only, I think "PC Mode" gives people more issues than "Charge Only". OP please follow full instructions and redownload the sbf file or use MD5 to make sure your download is in full.

Would you mind elaborating on that or providing the links? Not that I'm having problems with my phone, but I'd like to know more about it.
You need to find someone to charge your battery. I had the same issue. My battery died in the middle of an SBF and I received the same error. With no programming on the phone, it will not charge. Once I got a friends battery, that was charged, I had no issues with the reflashing of the SBF. Shane.

I had the EXACT same problems. my battery died too and couldnt do sht about it.
go to the link below and follow the steps. IT WORKS! Will even show u how to Ghetto charge ur battery lol.

You can't charge the battery in a bricked x. There is a method to soft wire the charge, you can spend $5 to buy an external charger on ebay, or you can buy a spare battery and hope it comes charged.

SBF Flashing
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...droid-x-2-2-full-sbf-leaked-download-now.html
Method 1 is out, since you cannot fire up the phone, but method two will work. No, you cannot ADB the SBF, to flash the SBF you need to use RSDlite, which is windows only so you'll either have to find a buddy with a PC or some virtual system thing that you apple people do.
now on to the battery:
I take no responsibility for damage done to phone, but this site tells you how to charge a dead phone without really buying anything else.
note:if you do not know what you are doing, you probably shouldnt try the charge trick, software can be fixed, hardware means you have to deal with verizon.

I tried to flash Fizzion rom and then all it would do is get stuck at the M. . Then i couldn't get clockwork recovery to come up.. I tried to sbf and it keeps failing at the very end of a long ass process.. I used sbf on this phone once before and had no problems.. Now it doesn't do anything but go to the bootloader. .It's a friends phone so im kinda freaking out..
What version were you on and what sbf versiln did you try to flash?

If you can, try to wipe data and cache.

Sometimes it will say it failed at the end, but it just isn't overwriting bp-passthroug. This isnt an essential file if you are already on the same version as the sbf you are using. These are radio files I believe... So if this part fails...oh well. As long as it is writing the system files, that is what you should be concerned about for the most part.
Please help...very similar situation I am in as was boredmug. I Flashed the Fission Rom...then it got stuck on the "M" boot animation...I did some research and used RSD Lite 4.8 to flash 2.3.15 sbf from bootloader... It started working fine and then right at the end of the process my bootloader said "Battery low...Unable to program". I know my battery was fully charged..
Could I just need a new battery maybe?? hopefully???

I had this happen to me before. You will need to charge your battery before you continue. I hope you did not fry out your battery as this has also happened to me. Give it a full charge as well.
There is a full 340 SBF that you can use with RSD Lite as well as a zip, maderstcok for 340. With the maderstcok update ( which works just as well as flashing with RSD Lite ) it doesn't matter which bootloader you have as long as you are on 2.3.15. It will update all files so you are on the latest version of Android.
Make sure you guys are wiping data/cache as well before SBF or installing new ROMS.
When I plug the phone into USB port and the led is green and the bootloader still says "Battery low, Cannot program." Would it help to get another battery?
It also says "NEW_MAP Blank" above the battery low message. Does that have something to do with it?

USB port charging is not enough to charge the phone properly. You will need to charge the phone with the wall charger while the phone is off or take it to a Verizon store so they can charge it for you. Usually the batteries from VZW come with less then half a charge. They can also test your battery to make sure it's still good.
I finally solved the problem by "rigging" up the battery to another USB cable wires. Crazy, but it worked. I'm all good now.. Thanks.

Ok, so I've looked through various threads today and cant seem to get a fix.
First, heres the symptoms- N4 (4.2.1) has massive battery loss/ something running in the background killing it (battery page says Android OS). I killed all the background apps and everything else it would let me kill and it still will not charge (tried different plugs, cables, outlets, etc). I've had it plugged in for the past 6 hours and I'm finally up to 9%.
The phone has been rooted, and I'm trying to flash it and return it to stock, but thats when I ran into problem 2. It won't recognize that it is plugged into a computer (running on a Mac, but tried XP machine, Win7 machine, and again different cords).
From here, I don't know where to go. I'm new to this Android ball game so I don't have a ton of background here, so hopefully I missed something simple.
PS by massive battery loss- I fully charged the phone last night, then went to class today with wifi/blue/gps off and always have 5 bars of AT&T here and after 1 Hr, I had 35% battery left with Android OS consuming almost all of it.
definitely pickup gsam battery monitor and better battery stats to monitor the battery usage. gsam might be able to tell you what app is causing the battery drain. bbs is more technical but might tell you more about what is going on. Make sure your maps app is not reporting your location.

Thanks for the response. Downloaded it and the usage is 1%, so now I think its something more than that. Either hardware or some weird glitch??
It won't charge and isn't recognized by any computer?
I'd call it a hardware fault to be honest.
Try to get a stock rom on the device, re flash it and RMA it.

just remember when you go to flash the downloaded files theyll be located in the /download folder (just in case you didn't know) and also by "full wipe" I mean factory reset + wipe cache

Well now it seems I've hit another brick wall. After entering into, or trying to enter into Recovery mode, it comes up with an error message saying No Command. I swear, I'm not usually this bad with these things. Any ideas?
For future reference MTP doesn't work with Win XP, and you need a separate app for it to work on a Mac. Should be recognized on the Win 7 PC though.

That means you currently have the stock recovery installed. First unlock the bootloader again with the Bootlock app. Then download Rom Manger from the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager . open it up and select flash clockworkmod recovery. When its done re-lock your boot loader again with bootlock. Then boot back into recovery manually (or even easier,open rom manager again and push reboot into recovery) and proceed to flash the stock rom & recovery files. (Don't forget to wipe first)

Hi guys
I came across this thread by "galchristian" in the Verizon SIII subsection, and thought I would share it here in the hope it might help someone. I myself haven't tried it yet as I'm at work, but I will be later on or tomorrow. According to the OP though, this seems to sort out battery drain issues for Jelly Bean.
Here is the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976666
"For all of you who have a JellyBean ROM already installed and have the battery drain skip to Step.8
1. Download your JellyBean ROM of choice
2. Place on SD card
3. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP of your current ROM
4. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache
5. Select ROM of choice from the SD card (Most ROM's these days come with an Aroma-Installer so remember what you picked to be installed and what not.)
6. Boot device
7. Set up the phone and let it restore all apps. Set everything you will use (facebook, e-mail, flipboard etc) -then ReBoot
8. I used TitaniumBackup and removed "Media Storage" and I also removed "Downloads 4.1.1"
9. ReBoot into Recovery & wipe cache and dalvik cache
10.Dirty-Flash your ROM of choice which you chose @ Step.5 and chose the same features if possible.
11.Install your prefered Kernel optional (I personally chose Ktoosez 3.0.49 just because it gave me good battery life)
12.Wipe cache and dalvik the last time and also fix permissions.
13.ReBoot the last time and enjoy!"
Please share your thoughts and feedback as I'm sure a lot of us are very peed off with losing 20% battery overnight.
Cheers
My first question will be, how can I convert a .tar ROM to a suitable format to be flashed via my SD rather than through Odin? Unless, of course, flashing a ROM via odin without wiping first is exactly the same as flashing a "dirty" ROM via recovery?
Thanks to OP. But this guide is something like how to drive your Ferrari on 6th gear without mentioning how to start it! What is 'dirty flash'? How will you flash the ROM, Mobile Odin or PC Odin or what? Also not everyone knows what Aroma installer is.
Besides, I don't think even after doing this battery life could improve. Imo, if 4.1.2 had good backup then it'll be just present there normally, like 4.1.1.

Dirty flash is flashing the rom over your current one without wiping first.
From what I deduced I assumed the OP is saying to flash via your SD card and not via odin. Also that aroma is not necessary, but if you use it then to keep all settings the same.
If any newbies have any question we'll try and help them, but I don't think it terribly overcomplicated for most people on this site.
I am not sure whether this works as I haven't yet tried it, but the OP certainly seems to think it does.

Well for an upgrade there is basically no meaning doing a wipe, but if you want to make sure and wanna do a wipe anyway, then you should do it after flashing the ROM, not before.
