[Q] Droid 2 problem

I was in recovery mode with the newest version clockwork recovery. I cleared all my caches and formatted the system partition on accident. At that time my phone died before i could plug it back in. Now i am unable to get it past the boot logo. When i plug it in the little charging lite comes on for awhile then the boot screen and the light goes off. I have tried to power on the phone with the power button without any success. The only way it comes on is with power then it doesn't seem to charge. I tried to hold the power + X and that doesn't work either. Anyone got any ideas what is going on with my phone.

You need to have software to charge the D2 you need to find someone with another D2 or D1 and have them charge your battery or buy a new battery or external charger to get your phone on.
After that you probably need to SBF to get the software back on your phone unless you can get into recovery, then don't worry about that.

[Q] help with rsd and sbf

i'm trying to flash my droid x using rsd and the 2.3.15 file. it was stuck on the M screen after trying to restore a backup. the battery level was also low so now for some reason it won't charge with a power cord. hooked up with the usb on my laptop, the green light is on acting like its charging at least but its been plugged in for an hour and when i get into the recovery menu to do the flash it says the battery is still to low to program. i'm confused. any advice asap!?!?!

If you had 2.3.32 or higher before the RSD, you may have hosed your phone. To my understanding, there's no rolling back. Good luck!

i have never got the rsd to even start working so it shouldn't be hosed. just not sure what is wrong. i've fixed this thing a million times from small issues. this is mind boggling though. have it plugged into the wall now, no green light just stock on the loader screen. if i unplug it and turn it on into the bootloader menu it still says low battery...

Two ideas come to mind.
* Go to VZW and have them charge your battery or ask a friend.
* there is a cut a usb cable method that could get a bit messy.
Once the battery is up then attack the "M" issue such as a battery pull and button hold. A SBF may be in store no big deal.
Once you up and running again start looking at the newer update SBF such as .320 or .340

fixed. thread can be deleted.

I ran into this last night. I ended up pulling the battery out and wiring up an old usb cable to the pins on the droid x. The outside pin on the charging port side is (+) (red from usb cable) and the outside pin towards the sd card is (-) (black from usb cable). This tricked the bootloader into thinking it was connected to a fully charged battery. At this point I installed the drivers 4.6.0 and RSDLite 4.8 onto a windows xp computer. I connected the droid to power, held down vol -, camera, and power to get it booted to the bootloader. Once in the bootloader it said battery fully charged connect data cable. I connected the data cable, let windows load the drivers and then RSDlite flashed back to VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf which fixed the phone.

Atrix died after flashing 1.2.6 by RSLite

Hi all,
I following the instruction on the forum and try to root my Atrix by gredroot.
I follow the instruction downgrading my Atrix from 1.5.7 to 1.2.6 by RSLite. However, the program showed me "Failed" during the process, then my atrix ran into Black Screen, and can not turn on now, no responds at all.
The signal light is on when I plug into the computer, but the PC can not detect the device.
What I can do?

did your battery die during the flash? your battery will not charge while it's flashign so if it was low, there is a possibility it died because of that.

How was the battery? Plug it into a wall socket to charge.

I dont think that is the battery, I do the process while the device has 85% charged, but the whole process from start to died take an hour, I dont know. SO What I can do now?

try to flash it again. start from the beginning, take sim and memory card out, hold volume up while holding power button until rsd screen appears. if this doesnt work take the battery out, hold volume down while holding power button, when screen comes on press volume down until you see rsd option, then press volume up, now flash using rsd as usual

Thx guys, it is working, just cant charge from the computer, but work with wall outlet, I will try to flash 1.2.6 again

While phone is off do the following:
1. Press volume down button and power off button both together till you see Android Robot with (!) Exclamation mark;
2. Now release both keys and press volume keys (both up and down volume keys together);
3. This will show you Stock Recovery;
4. Now from volume down key select "wipe Data" and execute it with power key;
5. Now select Reboot.
This will probably resolve the issue. However, if the issue still persists then you need to use RSD lite to flash your phone with the some Froyo SBF.
For more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
[Note: To enter bootloader menu so that RSD lite recognize your phone you need to have its USB drivers installed on your system and while booting you need to press Volume Up key and Power key together while phone is off to enter Bootloader menu to flash with SBF.]
Hope this helps!!
ATB!!

Why?
Cause a damaged OS, cannot charge your battery. you must pull your battery out of defy and charge the battery externally.
Or you buy a new battery, or let charge your old battery by a cellphone-seller, or asks a friend of yours with a defy to charge your battery for you etc.
Have u checked the voltage of your battery, it must be 4,1 V if the battery is fully charged.
I think esok44 is right your battery is empty, there is not enough power in it to start your defy.

i just tried the usb modification to connect it to the battery directly,,done all the steps as told ... nothing!!!
i'm really getting frustrated cuz its been like this for the past one week,,i've tried everything
don't have any friends with defy phone...
can't think of anything else to do but to brake the phone

well if everything fails, give it to motorola...
if it really is broken and everything fails, then try it.
would be the last option for me, but at least it is one...
But as is said, had the same problem and in may case it worked...
i've read on xda about an usb-manipulation to flash sbf when battery is empty, maybe you could try this...
I'll add a link to it
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489289

i have encountered this problem previously and the solution was replacing the battery, as RATTAR said the battery is not charged. try to charge your battery or try another charger, once it's charged rsd will recognize it. don't panic or despair.

[Q] Mt4G won't boot AT ALL

I went out for a while with my battery at 20%, when I came back it had drained out. I put it to charge, but when I tried to switch it back on, it refused to boot. On a normal power button press, it would vibrate 3 times and then the red notification light would start blinking. Same thing with power + volume_up. If I press power + volume_down, it would vibrate 5 times and the green notification light would stay lit. Nothing comes on the screen, whatsoever.
I was rooted with S=off, and was using the Operation Inferno ROM (which I have been using comfortably for the past month or so).
I did try some stuff with ADB, such as using it to reboot into bootloader and recovery (same 3 vibrate + red notification light), pushed the Operation Inferno ROM again to the sdcard and tried to restore the ROM from that location (for which I got adb: unable to open file /sdcard/backup.zip).
I haven't yet gotten around to downloading and installing the factory image some have suggested for the eMMC issue (PD15IMG.ZIP) but I wanted additional opinions considering most people with an eMMC issue have been able to open HBOOT at least.

When the phone doesn't power on, neither ADB nor fastboot will help you. There is no device on the other side, so all your attempts went to the drain, and it was expected. Nothing to do with eMMC issue or anything else. Your phone just doesn't power on.
Put your phone to charge, if the light turns orange - just leave it to charge until it's green, then disconnect and try to power on.
If the light doesn't turn orange, or it doesn't power on even after charging - remove the battery for 10 min, press Power button for 1/2 min, release the button, reinsert the battery, put to charge. And again, let it charge before you try to turn it on.

I did charge it earlier (for about half an hour or so) and the orange light does come, but it didn't boot after that either.
I'll just give it a try by charging it through the night and see.

I think a key thing is to take out your battery for 10 min, as Jack_R1 suggested. Then proceed with the charging.

Still doesn't work. I dissembled it and kept it like that for quite some time, then put everything back and charged it for hours. Still the same issue happening during boot.

Connect the phone to USB, powered off, see if the PC recognizes "QHSUSB_DLOAD" device. Try to power it on, see if it happens.
If it happens - it means your primary bootloader is screwed, in another words - no repair (actually, repair is theoretically possible, but no guide, no information and no sources exist for MT4G).

When its plugged in, its recognised by the ADB (even when powered off), and I can do some basic commands (mentioned in the first post). When I power it on the same thing happens as when it wasn't plugged into USB (ie, the vibration and the blinking LED).
I'm also worried about water damage, since a very tiny amount did come on it as I was sweating profusely. Although the indicators in the battery tray and on the battery itself don't signal damage (they're completely white) I've just decided to try and keep it opened up in a bowl of rice, just in case, until someone is able to come out with some idea.
As I'm in India, taking it to T-Mobile is not an option. If nothing works out, I might take it to HTC and see if they can help out.
