I just flashed CM10 Experimental build 02/11/13, and it is stuck on the boot logo. I have tried relocking the bootloader, running the RUU, unlocking the bootloader, and reflashing CM but it still won't work.
EDIT: Now, I can't even boot into HBOOT!
Did you flash the boot IMG when u flashed or are you s-off

Sorry for the late response, but yes, I did everything necessary for a device with S-ON. I can now confirm it's bricked.

How did you brick it? It's almost impossible if you flashed the rom than fastboot flashed the boot.img, wipe cache and dalvik.
Sent from my Vivid 4G using xda app-developers app
You didn't brick it. CM10 for the Vivid has boot issues. Keep flashing the boot.img and ROM while wiping caches and factory resetting repeatedly until it boots.
Well, the device does not turn on at all. No recovery, no bootloader, no fastboot, nothing.

At what point does your phone reboots? At the white HTC screen or at the Cyanogenmod boot animation?
Have you tried removing the battery for 30 seconds, putting it back in, waiting 10 seconds and then the bootloader button sequence?

Does your orange light up when you plug it? Could you try another battery? I heard battery durability was short on some devices.
If another battery doesn't work, I'm afraid I'm out of options...

Dead battery
I would suspect the battery has cratered. The symptoms are identical, doesn't boot, doesn't light when plugged in, etc.
1. Get an external battery charger. I have had good luck with one by Anker on Amazon
2. Charge your battery in the external system.
3. Pop it back into your phone and turn it on.
When you go to Amazon to buy that charger, buy yourself a spare battery. My favorite system is to keep a charged battery with me, swap it in when the phone battery gets too low, and get that battery into a charger. Total phone down time, less than 1 minute. And for those occasions when the battery takes a dump like yours did, you have a charged backup waiting.

Just pointing this out....ignore tapatalk signatures as many people have more than one device...Zero actually has his own dev thread here for the vivid for miui
I don't really have much to offer help wise...but the vivid is known for corrupting batteries if they die while the phone is not booted up...or at least jot being able to charge a dead battery...try getting a new battery and see if that helps...best of luck to you...hope you figure it out...its a shame when an expensive device becomes nothing more than a paper weight...if I get any other ideas I'll let you know...
Edit: try the option listed right above my post...didn't see that lol
Worst case scenario...you can try selling it for $25-75 depending on physical condition...some people love buying broken phones cause they know how to fix them...then you can put that money towards a new phone

Sounds like you've taken several steps to try to resolve your issue. Can you say with 100% certainty which recovery was last installed and whether that recovery flashed correctly? The symptoms sound like a discharged battery with no charge support in recovery, or a corrupted recovery image.
These are the steps I would take. Obtain a charged battery. This could be a standalone battery charger, where you remove the battery from your device and plug it into the charger. The charger should indicate the current charge condition of the battery and when it is fully charged. Or, buy/borrow a battery you know to have a charge. There are inexpensive batteries @ Amazon that would suffice for this effort.
If, with a known charged battery you can't get into bootloader, you have bigger issues. If you can, then find the instructions on the forum to get back to stock and start over.

Hello I have a verizon droid no longer in use since its battery pretty much crapped out doesn't charge causes random reboots. However it does work without a battery and I need a way to get some sort of recovery on it t flash roms but everything I use says low battery cannot proceed. Is there any workaround for this?

I believe you can try getting into recovery by plugging it into a wall charger, but I'm not 100% sure. Worth a shot.

Define what's happening a bit more clearly. When you plug it in, does anything show up? Have you installed CWM 5.0 or 5.5?
As a last resort, try to find someone with another Vivid to try and jump-start the battery.
i plug it in and the led turns to charge for 3 sec then turns off.
the device does not turn on screen is black and the bottom 4 touch buttons react and vibrate to touch but nothing else works.

This happens on my vivid when my phone dies. Only the led will turn on for about 3sec then turn off and screen will quickly display what looks like the recovery page then shuts off and led turns on for 3sec. This cycle repeats itself for about 15min before phone will repower.
If my phone is off and I plug in the phone will power on to recovery screen. This happens even if battery is not drained. I've noticed this happen since I unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
Once when my battery died I plugged in and it booted to recovery screen. I decided to leave it while I showered. When I returned to my phne the screen was off. I tried powering on and nothing. I tried to power to h-boot and nothing. I held the volume down and power button down for almost 5min before my phone would reboot.
Not too sure what's going on...I just make a point to not let my phone die...kinda scary.

Wait, recovery or bootloader? If it's going into CWM, then it is perfectly fine, as CWM 5.0 does NOT support chargemode, so once it has enough power, it'll just stay in CWM while still charging.
If you do have CWM and that isn't happening, then your charger is probably faulty. Don't really know what else to say, as I'm only talking from personal experience.

I do have cwm so I guess its the bootloader. It's the black screen with blue text where you can flash Rom, backup/restore Rom, clear dalvik cache etc...
I'm new to Android, been on iOS since it came out, so I'm still trying to figure out everything and getting familiar with terminology. New to being involved in forums too, so sorry for my ignorance.

I suppose I need to make a .zip people can flash if they're stuck in 5.0 clockwork so they can charge their phones if they get stuck in clockwork.
Should I ?

Good question... CWM 5.5.04 supports chargemode: It won't boot into CWM if it solely needs to charge. I'd presume that it would still charge, but I'm not entirely certain.
i coult not get into recovery at all.
but get this, i spent all morning trying to get this thing to turn on, tried everything.i finally decided to take it to rogers and see if a new battery would fix it up. as i was leaving out the door i just tried to push the power button one last time, the dang thing finally turned on.............i have no idea how the heck this fixed itself but i was glad.
i guess the raider/vivid did ot want to go back to rogers. heh
on a side note when it did turn on it had 1percent battery i ran back insidde and plugged it in right away.

EDIT: I have stopped looking for these threads. The more I look, the more I find. If the above threads don't convince you that there is a serious issue with the vivid, then adding more of the same problem will no longer help.
I have added this thread to a growing list of similar threads. Please read the other threads and see if your issues seem familiar.
From what I understand... Don't let your battery run out on this phone. Some Vivids kill batteries.
Solution? None yet.
1. Buy a new battery once a couple of months-ish, until someone figures out why some Vivids are eating batteries. YMMV
*OR*
2. You might invest in a external charger and see if that can bring the "Vivid munched" battery back to life. YMMV
I vote to thread merge the above threads if this proves to be the issue.
To start off yes I've searched lol. I was updating to TWRP last night and all seemed to go well. I went to reboot my phone and it never came back on. Is it possible the battery is pooched? or possible brick? It won't turn on, charge, or do anything Just looking for some ideas as to what may have happened.
Have you tried removing battery waiting a few and then replacing? Then try holding volume down and power to see if it boots to hboot

Hello
My dads Droid 4 is rooted running JB. I have safe strap installed. One day he took the phone out of his pocket and the screen was off. He gave me the phone to work on but I still cannot get it to boot. It turns on when the wall charger is plugged into it but comes up with either 5%-100% battery or a question mark within a battery. I can sometimes get it to boot into safe strap but that's it. I was wondering if anybody has any insight of what is wrong or knows how they can help me fix this issue. Thanks for reading!!

You'll have to SBF back to stock JB. I think you have the same problem my old LG Ally had. It's a random softbrick, unless I'm wrong. The cure is to SBF back to stock JB using a Windows machine.

Ah I see, I suppose you'll need a Motorola factory cable attachment from Team Black Hat. I made a factory cable myself with the aid of a friend who knew how to solder, but it was a little unnerving - if we messed up, would have fried the phone and computer. Anyway, get the attachment, and it should charge fine from the compute, plus you'll be able to SBF.

Thanks for the recommendation, but one point that I need to clarify is that the TBH Factory Adapter or cable will not charge the device at all.
It bypasses the battery and charging circuit altogether and powers the device directly from the USB.
This is an important distinction to make and it means that the device will always power on and boot no matter what, with or without a battery, and allow you to flash it with RSD Lite or fastboot or manually fix whatever problem was preventing it from booting and charging normally.
Then, once fixed, it will be able to boot and charge properly.
It will never charge when the factory cable/adapter is attached and for non removable battery devices like the D4 it will actually immediately power off the device when the USB cable is disconnected.
Good luck with your phone and congrats on fixing it yourself.
We think the adapters are a much safer and inexpensive solution for most users and believe everyone who mods their Motorola device should have one...before the need arises to actually use it!
So I made a cable and sbf the phone...still comes up with the battery with the X in the middle... Guessing its the battery that's bad? Not too sure

If i remember their is a battery calibration file somewhere in the system, if it is deleted it causes the phone to re-calibrate the battery gauge, have you tried a battery re-calibration app from the app store, i think this is what they do.

If it`s all stock and you dont want to root, all you can do is full charge and then run it till it shuts down a couple of times and hope the battery gauge learns the true battery capacity, if this does not work.
Or you could try charging it to 100% and keep it plugged in, then do a restore to factory defaults while plugged in, then see if that fixes it.
If this does not work, you might have a faulty battery, get a replacement phone.

Found this fix online, see if it works.
Option 2: (No Root) Physical Battery Calibration This option is also very simple, but at the same time, a little more time consuming. If you have a rooted device, Option 1 is definitely the way to go. However, if you don’t know what “root” means, stick with Option 2 and go check out the root section of Android Authority.
Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more.
Unplug the charger.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug the charger.
Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better.
