Droid Bionic Stuck in boot loop after deleting /system

Hey guys.. Yeah I did something idiotic.

I was going to install a custom ROM and was following a guide. I deleted Dalvik Cache, regular Cache, and /system.

I then went to flash the phone, unfortunately I couldn't find the update.zip and so stupidly I restarted the phone thinking I'd just move the file onto my external SD card and then re-try.

Unfortunately now I'm stuck on a boot loop. My phone was at 15% battery.. and I have no idea when the phone charges.

If I power the phone completely off (by removing the battery), slide the battery back in and plug it into a wall charger, will it charge so I can then flash it?

Thanks.
 
No battery image is coming up for me unfortunatly.

So your method was:

Unplug battery -> plug phone in with micro USB to wall outlet -> plug battery in?

On rootzwiki dhacker put together a one click fastboot for that situation.

I did the same thing, but I was fortunate enough to be able to return it back to stock on a full battery. Hope you get everything figured out.

good luck mine wouldnt charge the phone at all, my battery was low when i tried to flash also and messed it up. Had to get a new phone and im going to charge the battery to fix the bricked phone.
 
Got my new phone and charged the batter to 40%, put that battery in my bricked phone and reflashed it to stock and it worked. So if you try to do these roms keep your batter above 80%.
