Long time lurker, finally registered because I tried to update my phone through this post... Bad luck. Please help guys.
I saw this this morning before work. I downloaded the update and followed the instructions to the T. Soft bricked. So I went to work and left my phone turned off (VOL +, VOL -, Power for 10 seconds before screen went blank) and plugged into the charger hoping to conserve battery life. It was completely charged before being bricked, so I figured it'd be fine til I got home. That was around 7 AM.
Get home at 6:30PM and went to fiddle with it again. No dice in getting it to power on. No recovery options, no nothing. Plugging it into the computer got me back to the recovery options but as soon as it gets unplugged it dies. Really, dead battery with NO use at all all day? Crap. So I know it won't charge under these circumstances, so I search search search. I found the instructions to get it to charge in AP Fastboot. It says Low Battery, Cannot Program, yadda yadda. Phone locked Error 0. Power down, power back to menu, and go to BP Tools. Now it's stuck on the Motorola Dual Core screen. It isn't charging, I'm pretty sure. Left it like that for 2 hours while my wife and I went out for dinner, came back and it's on the same screen. No sloshing battery, no question mark battery, just the same big red M.
I have the Droid Razr Utility, I have the OTA update. Can someone PLEASE help me get this sucker to charge so I can try to flash again? What am I doing wrong?
