After flashing Quarx's JB 25.10 rom, my phone ran i to trouble. Now, it won't boot. I when I plug in the phone into an outlet, the charging light won't come on but oddly, the phone turns on and goes to the Motorola logo at boot. Then it stays there. I've since lost the original cable that came with the defy if that matters. When I plug the phone into the USB of my computer to charge, the charging LED comes on. But after some time, the phone turns on and goes to the Motorola logo and stays there with the charging LED off. Some time latter, the phone will turn back off and the charging LED will come back on. And then the cycle repeats with the phone turning on to the Motorola logo.
When I hold the up volume and power button, I get a message saying battery is too low to program so I can't even get to flashing a new SBF from RSDLite. Help?

Had this problem with first 2ndboot builds, but it should be resolved in later updates... For me charge mode works fine on 10.18 +10.25update.
Anyway you can try starting the phone without the battery, with moto charger:
1: pull out battery
2: connect charger to mains
3: connect charger USB cable to phone
4: phone should power up automatically, and boot to CM10
5: once the phone booted to CM10, you can put the battery back, and charge it
This method worked for me, hope it will work for you too!

It's stuck at the Motorola logo. After I had the problem, I reinstalled CM10 but the phone abrubtly shut off mid install. That may of caused some problems.
Charge the battery with desktop charger first...

You mean a computer USB to phone USB cable charging? That doesn't help. The moment I plug the phone in, the white LED ligth blinks once quickly but the phone won't even turn on to the Motorola Logo.
No, he means a separate batt charger, where you can put the battery in.

Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
So why would flashing a custom ROM cause problems with charging?

Hey my led is always red and it doesnt turn off at all. the device is not damaged by water or stuff like that. WHAT the hell?
I've got a similar problem, if not the same:
When I turn off my phone and charge it via USB/AC Power, the LED becomes red (which is normal, to charge) but when it is fully charged it is still red and the phone will not turn on. Only when I remove the battery and the LED turns off will the phone turn on. When the phone is on and I charge this does not happen.
Any suggestions? Nothing is wrong with the phone, just this.
Yeah, same thing. it's always on and always red. I've tried reflashing but that didn't help at all.

This problem has been partially solved. You need to change your Clockworkmod version with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014498
It will allow you to charge your phone while it's off and when you finished charging the red led will turn off. But unfortunately the red led will not become green when it's fully charged. At least you don't need to remove the battery to power on your phone. Hope it is helpful.
latest nightly #256 has working off mode charging and led turning to green at 90% charge, but keeps charging til 100%.

I got the same problem! I thought I was the only one with that problem
What do I need to get it working? Only the Cyanogenmod nightly or also the custom Clockworkmod?
Offmode charging bug is a clockwork bug not cm7, I'm using clockwork recovery 5.0.2.6 and no longer have the bug.
Try upgrading cwm.

OK thanks, I will try updating CWM

Edit: Mine cannot flash this, I'm not sure why though. Some people were saying use it in unrevoked but i've already rooted my phone!
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?
My S3 has started a strange charging problem and I hope someone here can help. My S3 has been charging fine and showing the LED, but since I plugged the phone into my laptop USB, now the phone stops charging if the screen is on. It doesn't matter if it is connected to a wall outlet or USB.....turn on the screen and the LED goes out and the unit stops charging. Under "Battery" options in settings it shows as connected and charging, but it isn't actually charging any. Use the power button to turn off the screen and the LED lights back up and the unit starts charging for real. I've turned off the LED(unchecked it) then turned it back on....no difference. Rebooted etc.....nada.
Phone is bone stock AT&T and I'm new to Android. Hoping it is a simple setting that somehow got changed.
Led is supposed to turn off when charging and screen is on.

You misunderstood part of the post. Not only does the LED turn off, it stops charging with the screen on. Under Battery options it "says" the battery IS charging, but it really isn't. Battery level continues to drop. Turn off the screen and it starts actually charging again.
Well it may be because you are using more power than its putting into the phone. Or it may just be defective. Have you tried another Rom yet?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Are you using the USB cable that came with your S3? Is your laptop plugged in our running on battery when this happens? I also believe that you might be using more amps to run the screen and Wi-Fi and whatever else is running on the phone than the USB can output. What generation USB port is in your laptop?

If there is a thunderbolt on the battery icon, then that means it's charging. When you turn on the LED option when charging, it only turns red when the screen is off, and turns green when it's full.

So i was playing a game called The room battery was at 1% but was connected to a charger and it suddenly powered off and a red light started to blink then the light disappeared and now it is connected to the charger and has no response, is my phone dead? :S i'm so nervous.
The device may not respond until it is fully charged. I think it's best if you wait until it's charged fully and see what goes from there.

Maybe it's the adapter that's broken? Try changing adapter/cable or try charging using your PC

So many threads on this. Charge your phone overnight. Not working? Rip off the back cover and disconnect and reconnect it. That's a no go? Check another thread.... Wish you luck

When I have get the red light I have to keep trying to power it on taking the charger in and out. Last time took 30 mins for it to go away of continuously trying to power on and taking charger in and out. The reason I do this is because if you leave it on charge with the red light on the phone will not charge. You can leave it over night and the red light will still be there and your phone won't be charged! It will only charge if you get the charger screen up and the red light is off.
Happens to me if don't have much battery and I try to watch something on the TV with slimport connected

plug it in, and press and hold volume up plus power for 60 seconds, then release. It should then power up automatically or press the power button again. This key combination is the equivalent of a battery pull, which is what you have to do when it gets locked up like that or battery drains too low.
none of those worked i tried it's bricked i guess

Your phone's fine. The reason it powered down even though it was plugged in is because it was at 1%, and considering you were playing a game your phone was probably expending power faster than it could charge.
When there's absolutely no power left it won't respond no matter how long you hold down the power button. Just plug it in & let it charge for a few hours don't worry.
source: this happens to everybody who uses their phone extensively at some point

It's not bricked, there are a lot of threads about it around here. You have to charge the battery, and keep trying with vol down + power, until it takes you to recovery. From there choose reboot.

any ideas? is phone a brick? thanks all
and apologizies if im in the wrong forum can a mod move if necessary thanks
the phone nvr vibrates whether trying to boot into factory recovery if any or any other time.nvr
when plugged into wall charger, at first led(bottom strip light) is red then goes out, if i unplug it it starts to flash repeatedly?
and sometimes no led at all when plugged in..
If it just randomly died In a normal situation (not flashing anything) and the red light flashes it might indicate that the battery died
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago when I had mine in recovery. I got distracted, and the battery was completely drained. Leave it plugged in, see what happens. Sometimes it takes a while for the LED to show up.
thanks for the help
phone had never been touched totally stock...have had it unplugged for a week or so at least and been on charger for almost 12 hrs
has me stumped..thanks again.
so heres where im at with this phone
pc still wont recognize it..only as a usb device and only for about five seconds then it disconnects..
if i plug it into wall charger, it flashes once red quickly then turns BRIGHT red and goes to normal red for five minutes then the light goes out for two minutes and the whole process is repeated from the quick flash to steady red for five...
any ideas?
still no vibrating at all
