Bootloader Corrupted. battery low. Help?

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...

I was in a hurry
is there anything i can do about this?

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

Is there a way to reinstall or recover a verified signed bootloader maybe?

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.

Dock point is useless! Charge and OTG can not be carried out simultaneously!

I have made a case charger,use the dock points on N7.But it's useless.Once I plug in the OTG cable,N7 stop charge.
Very disappointed.

Charging
OTGing，not charging

Apparently the kernel [or maybe the charging hardware] disables charging when OTG host mode is enabled. I asked about simultaneous OTG & charging over on Rootzwiki, read this post:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30615-can-you-charge-usb-host-mode-simultaneously/#entry868406

Wow, first of all, nice job. I like what you did with the case mounted extra USB charging port lol.
And second.. damnit thats really dissapointing...
I was hoping to buy the official dock + a USB hub so I could dock the tablet to charge, access external storage, and run on an ethernet connection. Sigh.
I dont see much point in getting the official dock now :|

Why did you ever get your hopes up in the first place? The tablet was never marketed or even designed for that.
The pogo pins are not useless. When pogo pin docks are available they will prevent excessive wear and tear on the charging port.

I have confirmed that the microUSB’s VCC and the dock points' VCC is not the same way.

What do you mean "not the same way"?
However, another user on a different device says he got OTG + charging to work, and that "it should work with any OTG device." Not sure if it will work with the N7, but he hasn't posted the details yet, he says he will soon.
It's probably worth a read, highlight is post #2

Sorry,my English is poor.I'm from China.
The two VCCs is not connected.There are two ways to drive the PMIC to charge the battery.When use the dock points,the battery icon is not displayed 'charging'.
That poster didn't say anything detail.

What's wrong with being creative with my nexus?
And I only had those ideas after seeing the threads confirming that Ethernet adapters are compatible.
And I don't know about you but I've never had a usb port wear out on me.
Might still get the dock just cause it looks cleaner though

OTG test,if you can read chinese:http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4836095-1-1.html

@OP
N7 can't provide power to USB peripheral while it's charging. Re-route USB connection through dock, and have dock power both peripheral and N7. See schematic for above-referenced homemade dock for Xperia S (no need for switches to disconnect ground or OTG).
Edit: Add switch to short D+ and D- for faster charging when OTG isn't in use.

Nexus One does not turn ON anymore

I was doing the regular stuff, flashing, recovery, trying the new JB roms.
Suddenly, after removing the battery and put it on again, the phone turn black and does not turn on anymore. Not even on the charger, there's no 'light', nothing, nada.
Appeared to be dead
Any way to resuscitate it again?
Thanks

It dos not turn on, I mean, the screen does not turn on, there's no charging light, no functional light, showing that the phone is working. If I plug the charger, no light. Nada

Any ideas what should I do to make it work, I mean, just turn it on, the rest I know what to do
Thanks

I know this mya sound a little crazy, but it worked for me on a HTC Desire with similar problems. You wanna remove the sim and micro sd, but leave the battery in. Now put it in the freezer! Leave it there for 4 hours. Let it de-frost for 30min. Plug in the charger, and it should power up.

Maybe your battery is not taking charge...when your phone turned off the last time was it at low battery level???....charge your battery outside you phone...probably in other phone or external battery charger

Try one thing....turn on your phone as usual...wait till the time it generally need to start...press call button twice remembering where it is to make a call...if you hear any voice then your GPU is damaged thats why you don't get the display...if there is no sound even then your motherboad has the problem

He doesn't say that it's broken, because he doesn't know (yet). Other people tried this method, resulting in a working phone.

WTF Dude..... Just stop spamming and scaring users already. LEAVE!
This method is not dangerous. It fixed the radio brick this phone had. His battery doesn't make a good contact, but the phone is definetly alive.

I wanted to ask: How fast is the orange light blinking?
You could have a problem with your cord, or, I've had an odd problem before with a certain rom where it wouldn't charge from a usb port anymore.
So, if you aren't trying a wall charger, I would recommend you give that a shot. Leave it plugged in there for like 5 or 10 minutes before you go back to try it, just in case it was completely dead.
Sorry about your luck.

Htc desire c constant charging problem

My brothers htc desire c is stuck with the phone saying it is charging while no charger is plugged in. Have tried reset, battery pull, and hard reset. We are thinking its a hardware issue due to the fact that it does not charge while the cord is plugged in. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks I advance.

Have you tried flashing a custom rom?
Anyways, I had a Sony Ericsson that did that. It said it was charging but it wasn't, it had one of those weird set of copper (I think) plates that were used for USB connection, charging and headphones. It derped and it was showing a charging animation constantly.
It was an old phone so I just used clean alcohol to clean the plates and it kinda fixed itself, although I do not recommend doing that for your device, because it has a different hardware setup.

With stock sense and a stock kernel it may also be a kernel issue as the kernel contains the Charging Animation configuration and stuff, although flashing a custom Rom would probably solve the problem, although if still under manufacturers warranty send it back and get a new one before voiding anything..

No the phone is not rooted. It will not even connect to the computer through usb. I am beginning to think its somthing to do with the usb port on the phone. I might go ahead and try the alcohol thing. Thanks will update.

Before you do whatever, send it to the manufacturer if in warranty. Also USB ports work different from Sony erricson connection thingies, so be really careful what you do with it.

First, charge until the battery is full, make sure your phone is on during the charging.
Second, power off the phone.
Third, charge it again until the battery is full, make sure your phone is off this time.
Fourth, stop charging and power on the phone.
When your phone is on and the app menus appear, power off your phone at once, then repeat step 3.
Make sure your charger is original before calibrating. My battery is back to normal with above method, hope it's helpful to you.

Hope so! I've tried something similar, but I usually use my wireless charger. Thanks!

Sure it does. It allows you to remove the previous battery calibration, for whenever you switch ROM's, but also works if your stock gets wonky

this is a droid turbo forum, and when imply that one person is wrong because of that pretty much states your talking about this phone. Also wheres this proof that root will calibrate the battery. I see none.
Edit:

If your talking about the ABOVE LINK that is only after you flash a rom. i am pretty sure you cant with stock root only.

you can calibrate the battery with your turbo charger, follow the procedure here, worked for me!

plug into turbo charger, hold power till it cycles on it's own (you'll see the real %), leave plugged in and walk away for an hour.

I had the same problem and I had to return the phone to motorola. Tried the steps to recalibrate it and it didn't work. Motorola replaced it under warranty under defective battery

No. This was debunked over 2 years ago, though some of us already knew better.

I just tested the OP, and wouldn't you know it, mine shut off at like 6%. I plugged it in, had to wait about a minute, then turned it on. While the power was off, it was not reading a %, so I am assuming 0%. When the phone booted, it was at 6%.
