[Q] How to charge when in a boot loop? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, my captivate is stuck in a boot loop. Essentially, it goes to the battery screen, then the att screen, then reboots.
However, when i plug in just the power (with the device off), it goes to the battery charging screen, shows the loading icon, then reboots.
How would i get my phone to charge? Ive bought a jig to get it into download mode , but if i cant even use the jig, its pointless.
Help please! Thanks

wall battery charger.
8$ on ebay.
or a spare battery and charger for 13

Is there no other option to get it charging? :S
To be honest... online payments are quite hard for me

How do you know it isn't charging?
Does the key combo get you download mode, or does that loop too?

[Q] Battery charge when bricked

my captivate has reached the point where it is totally dead. am going to try the jig and see if that will bring it to life. but not big hopes there.
was wondering if i have a battery issue now. will the battery still charge wjen plugged to a charger if the phone is bricked.
the phone only has a black screen. no lights or power nothing.
Remove the battery, wait 30 seconds, put it back in and plug the phone into the USB charger. If the screen doesn't show the battery charge indicator, your phone is most likely beyond unbricking.

Mileston doesn't work

The mileston doesn't work anymore. When I open the bootloader, I got this messege: "Battery low, can't progress". (I charge it all the time)
I want to use this tutorial in order to bring the device back: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845"
( [HOW-TO] Get your Milestone back to stock ).
The device is not rooted. It's belong to my friend and I try do make it work.
I don't have any software with belong to this phone.
Anyway, How can I bring it back ?
Please help me, I really need your help!
The phone doesn't charge when in bootloader mode. You need to charge the phone in normal mode (or turned off), and then put it in bootloader mode to continue the process.

I did it but it's still not working.
battery must be over 40% to flash in bootloader via RSD Lite
turn off the Phone an plug it to the ac charger (not usb) and charge the phone for about 2 hours.
when not charging animation is showing up, something may be wrong there...
but 1 question:
what do you mean with "The milestone doesn't work anymore" ???
what exactly is the problem? just dont boot up? stuck on "M" Logo? or what?
with more informations i think we can help you

When I charge the phone with ac charger, so the phone shows the "M" logo.
I don't know if it's good.
When I Charge it with usb, I saw yellow light.
I can open the boot, but I can't do nothing with the phone because of the low battery.
I can't use the phone, it's not open.
when it just show the M Logo the phone wont charge the battery...
only thing you may can do is to find some one who also owned a milestome to charge the battery for you or you buy a external battery charger like this one here http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/motorola-milestone-usb-23547p.html

Did you get this to work?
Based on your post count, this is probably a stupid question but:
You tried charging in an outlet (not through computer), right? Any under-the-hood work makes my Bionic run hot and burn through the battery.
More technical: I read somewhere that someone upgraded to windows 8 and fastboot stopped working. Windows 7 fixed the problem (if you're saying that fastboot is the problem, not Vol - & power button recovery mode).
Were you in the process of rooting?

I am kind of having the same problem. I recenty got a droid bionic where I had to replace the LCD screen and battery since when I got it it did not have a battery with it. I got an NON-OEM extended battery and every thing was working fine for three days. In that time I was able to upgrade everyting to the latest software, fireware, and Android version (4.1.2 JB) but after those three days the phoe woould not power on. When I plugged it into my computer and tried, the white power light would just blink at me. when I unplugged it from the computer and tried it would not even come on. I thought it was the battery so I sent it back and got an OEM extended batter and a OEM dock/charger. When I got everything I plugged it all in and the screen came on with the Motorola M logo and then showed me a picture of the battery at 5%, so I let it charger over night. In the morning I pressed the power button while still plugged into the charger, the phone light up saying the battery was at 100%. So I took it off the charger and tried to power up. Nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer and the white power light came on and stayed solid but still no power-up. I just tries the Volume Up/Down power while plugged into the wall charger and I can get to the recovery screen and try the normal boot up, I get the Motorola M Logo screen, I just now tried recovery and the little Droid just showed up with its stomach with a red triangle and an ! in it and is just sittin there. and now it when back to the Motorola M Logo screen then the battery screen. Does this mean mine is bricked as well? Please some one help.
Bumping because of no help yet. I can access the recovery screen but does not seem to help any, it also has to be plugged into the wall charger for this to happen but I can not power it up whether it is plugged in or not. Please Help someone so I can get this figures out.
Alright strange thing to try, plug it into your computer, while plugged in take it the battery, give it a minute and put it back in while still plugged in.

Did as you suggest but when I took out the battery. the white light stayed on. Still could do nothing. Waited 2 minutes, put the battery back in and still nothing. All I get is the white light staying on. I unplug from the computer, the light turns off and still nothing, not even the recovery screen will boot up.
Can you get to the fast boot option by holding both volume buttons and power

As long as I keep it plugged into the wall charger I can. When I go there it says "Battery Low Cannot Program Connect USB Data Cable. But as soon as I unplug the wall charger it shuts off and I can not get back to fast boot. When I plug it into the USB cable and plug into the computer, I can not get to fast boot. I just check and it says my battery is at 100%. but when I first plug it in it says 5%.
Your gonna need to charge your battery with either an external charger or the usb charging hack before you can perform an fxz on it

Bionic will not power on

Hello:
I recently got a use Bionic with a cracked screen, no battery, and no sim card. I replaced the screen and bought a non-oem extended battery with cover. When I got everything and fixed it, the phone worked for 3 days. During this time I did a factory reset plus cache wipe then updated everything to latest software and firmware. I had it plugged into my computer to charge over night but on the third day after being plugged in to the computer to charge, I tried to turn on the phone and the white light started blinking at me. I had a wall charger that I use for my Samsung Galaxy Precedent (current using phone) to charge it over night again but all I would get is the Motorola M logo and a then the battery charge status. I search some forums and some one said that my battery was bad so I got an OEM extended battery and an OEM wall charger with dock station. So at this point, the only thing I can access is the recovery screen but that only happens when it is pugged into the wall charger but when I hit the power button I get the Motorola M logo and the battery status which say 5%. Once the screen goes dark again I hit the power button and the battery says 100%. But once I unplug it, I get nothing. Not even the recovery screen. When I plug it into my computer I get the white light again but this time it stays solid. It still will not power up, or even access the recovery screen while plugged into the computer as well. Any suggestion on what might be wrong and what I might do to fix it? Please help someone!
