Battery not charging

Unfortunately, this is not charging. It's at 20 and not moving up. Any suggestions? It's hooked up to the factory adapter.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] simoux:
Buy a factory cable Form ebay!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vel0city:
What were you trying to do that you encounter this problem? Did you wipe your system files? If so you cannot use this method and you would have to buy the cable or peel the back cover and charge it with the usb cables.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Valentine13:
I was simply changing font it locked and froze. I've gotten nowhere since then.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vel0city:
If it is just the font then this method should work out for u.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lukas77:
I found another solution for charging while in AP and 'boot failure', it needs some time and patience but it worked for me.

Connect charger, press 'holy-3-keys' and wait until menu appear then choose 'BP Tools' and wait, when arror message appear repeat whole procedure starting from 'holy-3-keys'. I had to do it maybe 20 times to get rid of 'battery low cannot program' message. It depends how low is your battery. It worked for me I flashed ROM again via fastboot.

Thank You so much velocity, you are my biggest hero at the moment, I have been so frustrated about the issue until i looked in this thread. You definitely have my love. Steps I used? Power+ volumeup/down, immediality pushing volumeup/down afterward- botted normally- let battery charge to 80%- went back into fastboot mode and flashed my stock OS. No issues at all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] donnell0927:
I tried this but i just cant seem to get the battery to charge. To understand this I press the power and up/down key at the same time until the device turns off then just as soon as it turns off i let go of all the keys and press the up/down key again until boot menu comes up then press boot normally correct
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vel0city:
When you get into the boot menu you have to use the tools option which is the last option in the boot menu and then the M logo should show up and wait a little longer and the battery icon for charging should show up. Make sure your usb cable is in before you get to the boot menu.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vel0city:
And your welcome rad131304 and Darkcloud617 . Glad this method worked for you guys!:)

Guys, I was upgrading from GB to ICS. It went good, but I started noticing that I dont have sound and it was eating the battery pretty fast, so I tried to do a factory default, and then it says that the battery is less than 25%... Tried to charge it and after 3 hours I'm still stuck now at 10% and it is my only phone... AAAHHHHHH!!!! What can I do????
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vel0city:
You can try my method and see what happens, but since you are on ICS i do not know if it would work since the system files might be different from GB.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] super jay:
I tried everything suggested on this thread and read the other ones linked here and nothing worked so I guess I'll break down and buy the cable. Would this one work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-5-ft-Micr...ccessories&hash=item3a72cdecfe#ht_5872wt_1093

After trying a lot of times I managed to make it work... UFFF!!! The only thing is that the battery is not lasting as long as originally... I might say 10 to 15% less life than before flashing... can I recalibrate this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vel0city:
Im glad you got it to charge and as for the battery some recoveries let you wipe the battery stats but I am not sure if the razr has any recoveries that do that I know my phone the HTC Amaze has 4ext recovery that enables it to do so. Just search around see what you can find.

Low battery charge in Ap fastboot

Hello guys,

I`ve had the same problem with my razr and fixed it at least with an unconventional way because I didn`t wanted it to send it to the service...I knew it was a little bit risky but I`ve tried it and it worked fine!.I`ve opened the back case from the phone so I can access the battery-then I took a usb cable and cut the last end that I have only the cables and took the red end and the black end which are for the power and connect them to the battery with the wall wall charger and voila! It worked...battery o.k and my way was free to flash this little baby! :p Many Greetings!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] andersondsrs:
This method works!!!

Thank you dear friend.

You helped me a lot. I was with my XT910 ICS 4.04 just bricked after flashing with CWM - Attempt to Eclipse V1.3 ROM. His method was very useful for me.

Best regards.

the method you proposed doesn`t worked because all partitions were corrupt and RAZR should be programmed at first.

Alternative Low Battery In Ap Fastboot Fix

Alternative Low battery in Ap fastboot fix

If this fix doesn't work for you then I have a known working solution. I used a 600ma charger cut the end off and then cut the wire coating back exposing 3/16 of wire. With charger unplugged I attached the red to the + and the black wire to the - terminal being extremely careful not to touch anything else in there causing it to arc and possibly causing damage. I recommend that you download the ifixit app in the market to a tablet or use their website so you can get the help on the removal of the back plate without breaking or cracking it. once removed you can use the torx screwdriver to remove the negative screw. It has a washer too I just placed the wire under there and re-tightened it and then done the same to the positive side.

Now that you have done this you should very carefully flip it over taking extreme care as to not have the wire break or fall out. I placed mine over the edge of the table so I could inspect it before plugging it up. If all is good plug it up the hit vol-+ and power choose fastboot or you can just hit power cause it'll go straight there cause it's bricked and in bootfailure. The RAZR will now say BATTERY OK. Run RSD Lite and install your

VRZ_XT912_6.7.2-180_DHD-16_M4-31_1FF.xml

After it fully installs turn device off and carefully remove everything and snap the back cover on and then power back on. Worked twice for me since it keeps soft bricking every time I use touch clockwork recovery to restore a back up. I NEED HELP WITH Clockworkmod...

O Yeah if you found this helpful give thanks. That 1 in my meter is lonely..

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikevipsr:
do you have the fastboot files for rsd lite to use in apfastboot mode?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dirty_Punk:
buy or build a factory data cable.

I was in the same situation, tryed all flashing mode (fastboot, RSD and all help found here) but nothing works.

So I have built my factory data cable and with normal RSD flashing solved all.

Probably factory data cable have more "power" and let you flash when normal usb cable won't work.

It costs about 5€/$, worth a try

Dear brother,

Might be this method done with my motorola Xoom 2 MZ616?

it stuck at fastboot with low battery and cannot program now.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vel0city:
I do not know if it will hurt but at this point I guess it won't hurt to try it on your tablet. And if it does work obviously the farthest you can go with this method is to charge it only.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] warus1:
This process doesn't seem to work for me. Do you have any other tip on the procedure that seems to work better than others?

What I have tried is:

- from a black screen press Power + Vol - until you see a white flash, then immediately press Vol + & Vol -

- this brings up the Boot Mode selection menu

- now I Vol - down to BP Tools and then press Vol +

This brings up the M logo but nothing else happens. I have left it to charge (on Motorola working changer) for over 24 hrs.. unplug the charger and the phone is still dead.

any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikevipsr:
I posted a thread on that. I know that the above method will work but if it fails to work your gonna have to buy the cable or use my method

What were you doing warus that you ran into this problem? Flash a rom, kernel,etc... As I stated before if your system files were wiped before this happen you will need a factory cable to fix your phone.

After months of searching, finally something that works. Clarification, Velocity's method doesn't work if your phone died while flashing a rom. This was the case with my phone. However, that doesn't mean that it won't work at all, it simply means if you are a noob (like me) and you let your phone die while flashing a rom (me again) and then frantically try every method of getting it back on until your phone dies (dare I say it's me?), then this method may not work. Whatever the case, my phone works now. I'm doing a system restore. And when that finishes, I'll break it again trying to unlock the gsm. Anyone know how to do that? Please save me another month. I can't pay Verizon anymore and want to use this phone with prepaid something or other, maybe even T-Mobile. Good job ladies and gents! You made me proud!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BillDennes:
Pointer to "Soldering USB cable directions?

This method did not work to charge my battery, probably because /System is gone from my phone (XT912), as described in this thread. Sigh.

Please point me to directions/explanation for altering a USB cable. I have a soldering iron and I guess that's next.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HKreutz:
Didnt work for me, I had to do a Factory cable but thanks for the info maybe another time works I guess depends on how bad is the phone
[Motorola Droid RAZR] etewing:
Couple things. First, my phone was hard bricked and this method worked for me. Although, I had done all of the noob errors at once. But, I found a thread that showed me how to take my phone apart and use a usb cable as a jumper cable to power my phone while I was in AP fastboot so I could then flash the stock rom which let me power my phine back up so I could charge it. After that, I used the jumper cable to power my phone whenever I was flashing a custom rom or rooting or anything else. Try this and I bet your phone works.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] philharmonick:
....:victory: Best thing I did was find premade "Factory" cables on ebay shipping from Hong Kong for $6 inc frieght! Waited a week to rescue my bricked phone but works like a charm... now if Moto would just release the EU JB Leak I'd be a happy camper!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vel0city:
Yeah honestly for people who can't use this method to work for their phone your only next method is really the ghetto usb cable hack or just buy the factory cable from Ebay, which are relatively cheap now.

For those having problem with the battery low, here's something you can try that worked for me.

Plug your phone on an outlet (not a computer)

Run the phone in fastboot. Let it be like that for 15 min.

Unplug from the outlet and plug in computer. (Battery should stay OK, don't turn off fastboot)

Do what you have to do.

Worked Perfect!

Awesome Thanks! This worked like a charm.

Took apart an old micro usb cable and applied the black and red as indicated (wrapped the wiring around the screw and then screwed it back in).

Triple check your connections, ensure the red and black wires aint touching anything else. then plug the other end into a usb wall charger.

Finally plugged another micro usb into the phone and computer and continued with fastboot. Worked perfect, installed base rom and everything is working great.

somehow this method took me to BOOTING my phone, not a battery icon, so i know my phone can boot, but it happened only ONCE, i tried again and it takes me to the battery icon, this phone is stuck in fastboot mode, so i wanted to try this method to make it charge , i thougth my phone was erased but i saw it boot fine when tried this. so now i ask, what can be wrong with my phone if it is stuck in fastboot mode when turning on, but as i told you it BOOTED (once) when using th9is method?

it is a BIONIB that had 905 (2.3.4) i was trying to update it manually to ics stock (ota file), but update throwed an error status 7 something about hashes not being rigth (apparently the phone had been messed with before i purchased it, rooted and maybe something else), so i tried fxz file(minimal fxz with just system, boot, and recovery), and rsd failed with an error while flashing boot.img after downloading another fxz (this time FULL) i noticed my battery was low, so wasnt able to try rsdlite again, and that brougth me to this post, so , question remains (i know maybe is not the rigth place to ask because i can charge now but phone still in same prooble, stuck at fastboot mode)

Never tried it. Won't hurt for you to try it since it is already bricked :laugh: But seriously let us know if it works and I don't see why it wouldn't as long as your system files are still intact and not wiped. If so you need the factory cable or the do-it-yourself usb cable.

Hi and tanks for the help by the way.

I don't speak english very well (I read it better than I write it), but will try to do my best so you can help me.

I follow vel0city instructions just trying to get battery charged, but that didn't help to solve my phone's problem because brick my phone flashing the wrong firmware. When follow the instructions some times get the battery charging screen but two minutes later phone restarts automatically and get into fastboot mode with warnings in red text that say "boot failure".

I can access fasboot mode and got a factory cable. When I plug it to the phone says "battery ok" "transfer mode: usb connected" (green text) but windows says "unknown device".

Any advise?
