Bootloader Corrupted. battery low. Help? - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

I was flashing my MS and the battery was pretty low. The phone went off and now. it goes to the bootloader screen and it says "corrupted Code" Battery Low. Cannot program.
Any help?
Regards.

I'm sorry to say that this is a simple case of reading provided trusted advice and being sensible. You should NEVER wiple/restore with low power...

is there anything i can do about this?

Easy... try to get a full battery...

I think you've got a few options.
One is to find another charged battery.
Second is to find another Milestone to charge your battery in (in which case you'd probably have access to another battery anyway).
Third is to supply power to the phone directly bypassing the battery.
There was a thread about this when I got my first milestone (which was 'broken' with these same symptoms). Basically you can chop off the end of a USB cable and stick the red and black wires in with the battery to supply 5V directly (I soldered them directly to the battery to ensure they didn't cross, but I'm quite good at soldering/desoldering). Then the phone thinks the battery is full and allows programming. And after it's programmed charging of the battery through the phone will work again.

red goes on + black on - of the battery. easy.

oooh nice I did CPR on my old old HTC Wizard - it was shipped with empty battery and couldn't charge without the system running.
However - I've used an old PC PSU, because I was afraid to short circuit the USB port on my notebook
I would recommend buying second backup battery, even those chinese are doing pretty good for the price.

Portable external battery pack/charger

Hello
First post here. Nice forum with good info and stuff for the hd2. Keep up the good work!
I'm looking for a portable battery charger to go with me on longer trips/travel.
The external battery pack which lets you charge your phone a couple of times.
There are som on ebay, but does any of you guys have any special recommendations?
Not to expensive, under 50$ would be nice
Here is cheap one. I don't own it, therefore I can not recommend it
However, It look nice
Anybody tried the one linked above?

why not just get a spare second battery (its what i do )
Imho its easier to just plug in a battery pack. I.e if you are watching a movie or listening to music you don't have to turn off your device..
I use the Just Mobile PP-08 Mobile Power Pack which is 4400 mah and it is very wonderful and not so heavy in my pocket.
PP-08 Mobile Power Pack looks great. But a little expensive I think. 59$ + shipping..
there's been a couple of threads on this one:

I think will give this one a try, Sanyo eneloop KBC-E1S. Should be able to get at least one full recharge cycle from it.
That way I can also bring my additional eneloops if I'm away from power sources.

Looks good but cost USD 27. But not sure how this one working. I am now using the portable charger for my note II LTE (using the charger previously on my S3). I wanted to know who has the experience of using this battery from this website, how is this battery and the battery cover feel??? Does it look stupid???
Why not just carry a spare battery. This makes the phone huge.
Always open the housing cover to change battery is too trouble. Also, no battery charger that can charge the battery alone, need to get the empty battery into my phone and charge it is annoying!!!

Yeah boi...I'm looking to get me an extended battery as well. Have always used them and let me tell you, it is sweet having 2-3 days of use without having to worry about a charger. This phone is big already so having an extended battery isn't going to change that issue too much. Besides, it'll help with not snapping phone in half like someone did for their S3...OUCH!!!

I didn't counted it. But my Note II is always on during office hour. Many calling in. Also will used to check email and play game or video when I am having meeting outside (Play it during the traveling of course, :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed, I think it is about at least 5.5 hours for my office hour and only consume 30-35% power which is really good.
Evening time, my phone is mainly using for text msg and gaming (but gaming at evening is not usual) and a little calls. Until bed time, the battery still got 40-45%. That make me feel safe for able to not stay attached with the wall plug. :cyclops::cyclops:

Is this battery safe?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I don't know of anywhere else.
A while ago I did a DIY repair on an LG G2 VS980 to replace a cracked digitizer. Apparently, I also massacred the battery.
Recently, I took the phone back out and bought a full frame+LCD assembly instead of going through the pain of taping my screen to the frame because of missing adhesive.
Since I bought a full frame, I need to take the battery out of the old one to move it into the new one. I noticed before that the battery had a strange lump toward the top. I was hoping it was just a bend, but it feels kind of stiff and I don't want to risk trying to adjust it if it's actually some sort of bubble.
Taking the battery out (with a credit card), I noticed that the back was all dented up with screwdriver marks, and it felt like it had air under the metal lining. (I have no idea what I did, but it obviously wasn't good ).
There are a few images below of the battery below. Is it salvageable, or do I need to buy a new one?

The bulge can be seen on the left.
The back (it looks like a warground)
A better view of the battery bulge.
Hi,
If the battery fits in , then you can use it for atleast no more than a year before you decide to replace one.
BTW, do you think your battery is losing its capacity? If you dont feel it does, then keep using it.

The battery seems to be working OK. I haven't actually tested it, since the screen is broken. I just know that it charges and holds a charge for longer than 5 hours.
I really just want to know if it's safe to use; if I can flatten that bulge out without having battery acid fly everywhere and then use the battery without the same happening.

I would suggest to install the battery as it is, not to try to flatten it, and check how long it hold charges with a complete charge ..

The problem is that the bulge prevents the back from snapping on properly, so I can't really use the power and volume buttons correctly.

Charger for ZE550KL

My stock charger is not working anymore. The phone doesn't charge when connected to it. Anybody know any way to get a company original with reasonable price ?
Buy any new 2A charger. It will even charge your phone a little faster than the stock charger. I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 4 charger. It charges my Zenfone 2 Laser a bit faster due to its high power.

But it is not good for the phone right ? The input is designed for only 1.35 A. A higher current could damage the phone. For how long have you been using it and is there any reduction in battery life ?

But when I use a 2 amp charger, after removing it from charger, the charge drops very quickly, even on standby. For me it lost 30 percent after 2 hours on standby. Also the phone gets heated up on charging. Now I use 1 amp samsung charger. It works fine and no problems. Battery backup is greater than ever and the phone does not heat up on charging. Try it.
For anyone in India still facing the problem, now I use a Jio-Fi router charger. 5 V and 1A. High quality product. Phone battery has no problem. Just like old times. Model ZE550KL (Z00L).

In the end of the graph after a blank(Switched off) and little charging time, I removed the charger and tried draining the battery, it went down from around 50% to 15-20% and came back again to 50% without any charging, it kept on happening for 3 to 5 times straight and i got sleepy in the end, then reset dalvik and cache, and it was normal again.
had a pretty fun time considering it's a 2 years old battery.

Alternative car dash chargers?

Wondering if anyone knows of any decent 3rd party car chargers for automotives?
Try checking out Aliexpress. I have ordered some dash cables and chargers off them and they look pretty good.
Never ordered one myself as this is my first OP device, but from what I've read the Baozu ones do work, and end up cheaper than first party. But with the battery life I'm getting now I'm not even sure if I'm gonna need one, love this thing so far!
If you can get hold of an Oppo VOOC charger, they're literally the same thing (same company, same charging tech), but you'll need a proper dash cable to go with it as Oppo use MicroB still.

That is what I thought, until I took a long road trip.
With the phone doing navigation, music streaming AND providing a WiFi hotspot, the battery was draining faster than my regular charger could keep up. At the end of an 8 hour drive the battery was empty (it started full).

Pretty sure that shouldn't happen with any good charger. I feel like you probably had a cheapo that was only pushing like 0.5A or something.

Normally, I would agree with you, as it sounds improbable that a phone could continuously draw more power than a charger provides over a prolonged period, but as I say, it definitely happened. I was using a good quality Anker 2.4 Amp charger (amazon SKU B00D82O68Y), though it is possible that my phone (a OnePlus 3) had not correctly detected it and gone into some sort of trickle charge mode.
I think it was the WiFi hot spot that made the difference. I routinely drive alone with my phone doing both navigation and music streaming, but on this occasion I had three other people in the car using their tablets to surf the internet. Another possible factor is that there was bright sunshine, so the automatic screen brightness would have gone to maximum.
Anyway, I have ordered one of the non branded dash chargers from Ali-Express. I will report back with it's performance when it arrives.

Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Active GPS + Screen + hotspot + (presumably) bluetooth = a ****-ton of energy consumption. I'm not amazed it would fail to keep up with that.
