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
swyped from my DROIDX using XDA App
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

I already posted this in Q&A, but I thought it would get noticed more in this section.
Ok I believe my phone is "Hard Bricked", because it doesn't power up at all. The Green led light will show if i take the battery out and plug it into the computer. This happened as was trying to start the process to unlock my bootloader. I was using RSDlite, loading the "zomgunlock" sbf file, put my phone into rsd mode plugged it in, pressed start and next thing i know it turned off and won't turn back on. Can someone help me?

Hi,
I am a NOOB but was reading another post that had a similar problem. Not sure how to make a link to it.
The issue the other fellow had was that when he plugged in to the USB port it was actually draining his battery rather than charging it.
There are specific drivers on the Moto website that you need for the computer to charge the phone.
The short way around it is to charge at the wall.
The title of the post I am referencing is "[SOLVED] Atrix will not power on, green light flashes, plugged in and.... nothing!" initially posted 24th Feb 2011 last post was today.
If your issue is more complicated than this then I apologise for wasting your time.
Worst case no further harm done.
I'm pretty sure my battery is pretty good atm but I'll try anything to get my atrix working again
That happened to me when I was trying to flash the unlock bootloader for mine. I'm using the Atrix on Orange running on U4_4.2.0. Completely bricked with the same green light but nothing happening. Told Orange and got a new one luckyly, next day!
Yea well im on my second from at&t bcuz of a hardware problem, unless I'm able to get a third one. .i ned to find out how to fix this, and the battery charger method didn't work for me

USB port on a computer won't drain a connected device. Problem there was he was trying to charge a drained battery on USB 2.0 which doesn't supply enough power to charge properly. The solution to his problem was to charge with the proper Motorola AC wall charger.
Yea I know but I tried the fixes anyway since there was no harm
If it's an AT&T phone take it to a repair center and they will replace it if its less than 1 year old. You don't even need the crappy insurance.
I thought it's only me
I have same problem, googled it 2 days ago - noboday else reported it
same problem - flashed the unlock-able boot-loader - phone turn off, and died...
I progressed a bit more - after replacing battery with a fully charged one, just to find out it's not a battery issue - I prepared the "special cable" - pin 4 connected to VCC.
now - my phone does recognize my phone, as "APX". after providing drivers found in google - it now recognized as "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices".
it doesn't really help, as RSDlite is still not recognizing it, and using NVflash - i get only errors...
I know - i didn't really helped to solve the problem, as I'm "stuck" with it too, just wanted to share my effort...

Thought I'd pass this fix along.
I have a rooted nook that would not power up (stuck on last display screen). When I'd plug it in -- it showed a GREEN light (already charged). I tried all of the reset fixes (20 seconds hold, 1 min hold, wait a minute, 15 secs) -- nothing worked.
Finally, I pulled it apart using this tutorial on Youtube:
[Can't post link because I'm a newbie --- just search for "How to Take Apart a Nook Simple Touch"]
Very easy to do if you have a T-6 torx driver. I unhooked the battery. Held down the power button (white button if disassembled) for about 30 seconds to discharge the board. Then hooked the battery back up, reassembled, plugged in -- and it started charging (orange light).
It looks like the issue was -- the nook was registering the battery as fully charged -- and it was completed depleted. The above fix seemed to reset it.
Hope that helps someone.

I also had this problem this afternoon. This procedure worked for me too. Thanks a lot because it helped to revive my reader.
However, for Nook to have such a problem and we need to fixed it in such a complicated way is not acceptable.
Fantastic. I had the same problem and now it is solved. Thank you.
After I bought a Nexus 7 my NST was resting for a while. Now, when I wanted to use it again, it was totally dead. Then your tip bring it back to life.
Thank you. When plugged, instead of "Charging (AC)" my nook was showing "Not Charging" in device info/battery. And in the end, it went dead.
After your fix, it works
That's the ticket

It's now showing the "Your Nook's battery charge is too low to power up. Please wait 15 minutes! screen and a loading animation :good:
I was seriously worried.
This is really weird...is there any reason for this issue?
I am quite new to the nook in general. (Nook simple touch glowlight in my case.)
Maybe we can check for similarities and find what was causing the problem.
So what did I do to my Nook:
Rooted, Nook Manager
Nooks gapps flashed, market downloads work (search not)
Installed a bunch of apps
Installed a custom Launcher (Lightning Launcher)
Installed Swiftkey as a custom keyboard (needed several language charactersets)
Left Wifi turned on all the time
Used the feature to restore the glowlight setting after being woken up again
Used the setting to skip the lock-screen swipe
Used a custom screensaver/lockscreen text
Changed button links in the main menu (n-button) to adress the original home, as well as the custom launcher home
That's what I can remember :/
And as far as I can remember I had more than 15% of battery (at least).
With the 1.2.1 software there is an automatic shutdown that kicks in at around 20% battery.
It doesn't work very well.
It will also give you warnings when it's under 20% but plugged into the wall and charging.
Green light issue, fix not work
I recently got a brand new nook simple touch and after trying various fixes to try and start my nook up I came across this. I was hoping this would work but it is still on green when battery is plugged in and charging off mains. The light is also green when plugged into mains without battery attached. It wont go past the "Fully charge before first use" start screen and can't find any more information on what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the fix. It worked the first time I tried but after only one day the problem presented itself again and after that the fix doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm leaving the battery disconected a few hours in addition, to try if it fixes this problem completely (but I'm not too optimistic).

This firmware, does it still count even if you have rooted the device? If so, do you think a downgrade to 1.1.1 would fix the problem? It is rather funny that I didn't have this problem until a couple of days ago, even if my NST is only 2 months old!
Update:
It seems that my battery is not yet dead after all. It turns out that I was measuring it wrong (thank you Engineering degree) and now it reads 4.15V as it is supposed to.
So, that brings me back to the theory that there is something wrong with my software. Right now it can boot for a few seconds but as soon as it goes to sleep mode (either by clicking on the "power" button or just waiting), it freezes. I recovered the official firmware and the problem persists.
Thanks, this trick fixed mine too!
Does anyone know if this fix can be achieved by simply charging the nook for an extended period of time? I have the exact same problem but I'm not so sure about opening the back cover as it voids my warranty and I only purchased this device in early June, and the problem appeared by the end of June :/
I have to confess, I never did charge my nook fully when I bought it as recommended, and simply dived in to using it as soon as the battery had a sufficiently high enough % as I was too excited lol

I find it acceptable. After all, if we weren't messing around with the devices in the first place, we wouldn't ever need to do this.
Plus, really, it's not that complicated. A couple of screwdrivers and it's open. I mean, should we expect it to open itself with a voice command or something?

Thanks, this method worked ok with mine.
HI dudes,
it seems I've got a similar problem, green light on usb and stuck on "YOur Nook has turned off completely"
I take it apart with no success ... any idea ? Mu NST is nearly brand new, ever used a lot ...
thanks
I had the same problem, the reason was completly dead battery. After bat replacement nook works great!.
When battery have to small voltage, noow won't start to charge. You can try with external charger, to bring battery to life.
I think some nooks was matured in stock, thats why battery was completly discharged...and wont charge with nook.
Nook showing green light, main board drain and nothing
My Nook shows the green light when plugged in either to the pc or wall charger. I've held down the button twice for 30 seconds and disconnected the batery holding the power button 30+ seconds. Neither worked. Any more suggestions? I do notice a slight flicker of amber whilst holding the button down with the power cord plugged in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't know if you want to do this, but you can open the phone and disconnect and reconnect the battery connector...
What was your battery level, I know in other devices some times the CPU(s) run at full speed in recovery allowing for quicker flashing this could discharge the battery rapidly. Also a flashing red LED when plugged in normally means the phone is charging but doesn't have enough charge to reliably turn on, leave it plugged in for about 15 minutes and try turning it on again.
Try holding down the VOL + and - keys along with the powerbutton (after turning it off by holding down the power button for an extended time) and see if you can get into fastboot. My friend's Nexus 4 kept bootlooping after he unlocked the bootloader but booted straight to CWM after, not letting it erase userdata first.

I've got the exact same issue. Plugged it in last night to charge and this morning it wouldn't turn on. Plugged and unplugged it and the red LED starts flashing. After a minute or so I'm getting the battery charge animation on the screen - so the red LED is power related. Now to see if it actually charges up and boots.
Hi nycbjr. I have seen a similar issue posted here, but I can't find the thread at the moment, try searching. If I remember correctly then he got it working by holding power, volume keys and then plugging in the charger.

Calibrating the battery is not necessary. It's better to not let it die and then plug it into the charger. Under the hood. our phones are powered by a Lithium-polymer battery. They'll last longer if you charge it before it dies.
