I rooted using z4root & installed recovery using Koush's Droid 2 bootstrap with hopes of trying out Liberty before Fission.
Everything seemed to be going well, I backed up, wiped data/cache, flashed Liberty, and booted into it. No signal or leds, so I decided to go with Fission.
So I installed the Droid 2 Bootstrap app in Liberty in order to reboot into recovery, wiped data/cache, and flashed Fission. But when I went to reboot, I still had the Liberty splash screen. So somehow I figured out how to boot back into clockwork, I think I booted into stock recovery by holding X, (maybe wiped data/cache in there), and then hit reboot from there. But this hasn't gotten me to clockwork subsequently.
This time, I tried wiping all the mounts (boot/system/data/cache) as well as fact.reset/cache before flashing Fission.
Still, I get the Liberty splash.
Now, I think my battery won't charge.
Is there any way to restore my backup without a new battery? Even if i do get a new one, how am I going to boot into clockwork to restore my backup?
Word is once you've gone Liberty, way out is first SBF then anything else. Make sure you don't play with the phone too much as battery will die and you cannot SBF.
Like I said, my battery is already dead.
Is there no way to SBF without a charged battery? Can't I just plug it into the wall?

There is. But is a bit scary. You can jump the battery via the USB port using usb cable to provide power for the flashing. Few people have done it, it works. But you better buy a 10 bucks desktop charger for Motorola BP6X batteries and recharge the battery. If you aren't tech savvy I do not recommend you to try the USB power jump start method...

That's what I've done. Now I'm just waiting for it to charge.
Now the question is will I be able to get into Clockwork Recovery, or will I have to RSD/SBF?
Depends on what the issue was exactly that was keeping you out of clockwork. In my experance, if I yanked the battery while it was still on the moto logo, when I booted back it would boot directly into clockwork. However, if you've already whiped all mounts, your only option may be to sbf anyway.
I had the same problem with the battery. What worked for me was to plug the phone in via USB while holding x to boot into the recovery. I let it sit and charge slowly for about an hour or so. After that I was able to boot without my battery losing charge.
If this does not work I suggest buying any usb wall charger / car charger and charging your phone with that.
Good luck.

I found something frome paultje162
First download Thaiz O3D Stock 2.7.1
And make sure you are rooted and have CWM
let it on the charger for about 2 hours.
go into CWM
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Advanced settings:
wipe battery stats
wipe dalvik
go back
Mounts and Storage:
format system
go back
Install zip from sdcard
Choose zip
Flash thaiz O3d 2.7.1
reboot
wipe battery stats again
flash thaiz O3d 2.7.1
and reboot
now let it sit on the charger for about 24 hours. after that. you will see you magically have 30% battery.
unplug it. plug it. and it charges fast again
........
Thats a post of him hope it works

It worked for me. so it should do the trick.
and if it doesnt.
you can put your phone into download mode to restore it to stock.
just unplug battery. hold power and vol up
put in usb cord
put in battery
and let LG mobile update restore it.
remember, you need to take your own KDZ and flash it manually.
like you always restore your phone.
if i'm not wrong it shouldnt ask for charging your battery first.
So, I thought I'd add my experience to this.
I'd been having the same problem with the 0% battery thing since I bought the phone off Ebay.
I tried wiping and flashing rom etc, and it didn't work.
I recently got the battery expansion cover and the larger battery.
One night, I'd had a couple beers and dropped the phone on the floor. The back case flew off and the battery flew out as well. I replaced the battery and replaced the case and turned the phone on.
What do you know, the battery problem was fixed and hasn't returned.
Strange.

HEH HEH !!!
Now we have a solution!!
try at your own risk!!

If you let the phone battery run down, it will not, I repeat WILL NOT boot back up out of recovery.
When I plug the charger in it just boot it right back into recovery, which we all know won't charge the battery.
Pull the battery, put battery back in, plug in the charger....boot right back into recovery.
Power off from recovery with charger still plugged in...boot right back up in recovery.
Reboot system from recovery...boot right back up in recovery.
No way to charge the battery without getting out of recovery first.
No way to boot out of recovery without enough juice in the battery.
I had to use the extended battery (spare) to boot up the phone and...well you guest it...to flash the "other" recovery to get it working normal again.
Thunderbolt
Miui
TWRP 2.3.1.0
Works fine on earlier version, if this is a false alarm, then please delete.
Update: After reading through a few forums, TWRP might be able to charge while in recovery. It doesn't work for me.
That's a +1 for 4ext. It let's you charge the battery in recovery.

Your phone should charge in the powered off state though.
Thought so too but I know for a fact that cwm boots you into recovery as soon as there is enough juice to boot. Then having the screen on starting what little there is left. I know because I dealt with that for a month before I realized that my stock battery finally took a drive and wasn't retaining a full charge anymore.

Its recovery 101 never mess with recovery unless you have a decent charge. You are just asking for trouble. I agree it makes 4ext look better because you can charge while in its recovery. If you let your phone die in recovery then you deserve it. Not to sound harsh but for the longest time when devs post roms they said make sure your battery is charged before flashing the rom. You think they was joking? lol
I remember having to do that with the Droid Eris.

I think what he means is, if you let your phone die normally, then plug it in to charge, it will boot to recovery. I had that happen to me when i first tried clockwork touch.

Let me clear it up a bit.
If there's not enough juice in the battery to boot up the phone. If you push and hold the power button and nothing happen then you're screwed.
As soon as you plug in the charger, it will boot right to TWRP. you can not stop it from booting into TWRP, when you power it off from within TWRP it will boot right back into TWRP as long as the charger is connected.
Bottom Line:
If your battery went dead (under normal usage condition) and you don't have a good spare. You are SCREWED. This is a FATAL bug.
There's no way to charge a dead battery.
DarkJedi thinks that I'm in TWRP while the phone went dead. The answer is NO. The battery went dead under standby.

You're not understanding the post. This has nothing to do with messing with TWRP. Battery went dead under normal using condition, has nothing to do with recovery.

That's the problem, it will not power down out of TWRP, as soon as you plug in the charger it will boot right back into TWRP.
It has the same cwm bug there used to be. When you plug the phone in to charge it boots into recovery.

That's good to know, I had been using TWRP on my Thunderbolt so I guess it's time to switch back to 4ext, i just wish there was software keyboard support in 4ext.
Also with a note, I had this problem the op had when using TWRP on my Asus Transformer, actually strangely, while the recovery was installed it would not charge the device at all, not even when turned off. Once TWRP was taken off of it, and CWM back on, it charged properly. After using TWRP I can say for some reason this recovery has some serious game changing bugs.
EDIT: Also, "Boot Manager" doesn't seem to be compatible with restoring backups made with TWRP.
Give this build a shot and see if it fixes the charging:

No idea what your trouble with the Transformer were but charging on the Transformer isn't done in recovery and changing recovery wasn't the fix.
The Thunderbolt & most all HTC devices made after it use recovery for charging. There's a handful of HTC binaries & a special init.rc that make the device charge while turned off. None of this is part of the recovery code so it's not inherent to TWRP itself.

my port is busted so i cant test charging but the build does work
Another tester confirmed that it was fixed in that version, so I have updated everything.
battery percentage not accurate on mytouch 4g slide cm9.1 ....i charged my phone for 6 hours it gives 36%,i unplug it and reboot it and it gives 94%,after another reboot it gives 72% just wondering why it keeps fluctuating and the batt stats as been wipe but still the same please kindly help
Try discharging it completely, then charge up to 100% without any breaks. Then, again empty the battery and charge to max. Then, for the third time, once you're done discharging and charging up to 100%, don't disconnect the charger, manually delete batterystats.bin in data/system, and then disconnect the charger.
...The above solution might work. Might. Yeah.
thanks please is there any other option?
Use Battery Monitor Widget. Put the widget on your home screen, monitor your battery at all times, gather enough data, and then calibrate it.
If that still does not solve the problem then... wipe cache, dalvik, flash a new kernel.
If that's no good either, then switch to another ROM.
If you still cannot see light at the end of the tunnel, then... buy a new battery.
If, even then, life still betrays you... then... thoroughly mix 2.34 grams of sugar and 5.09 grams of powdered gold in 155.71 grams of warm distilled water. Drink the mixture and hopefully, your life will change for the better.
I've got your back. :fingers-crossed:
thanks for getting back at me....my battery works great on the stock rom when i tried switching back but its just malfunction on cm9 and cm10 as well...i.e battery percentage not accurate...well,i will give it a try and please how do i flash a new kernel
Flash WildKernel Reloaded on either CM9 or CM10.
1. Download the zip file and copy it to your phone's SD card.
2. Boot your phone in Recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
3. Flash/Install the zip file.
4. Reboot your phone.
5. Empty the battery, charge to 100%, wipe batterystats, unplug charger.
That should do the trick. But if it still fails, try flashing a different ROM. AOKP, for instance.

This is something I've seen this device struggle with foor over a year. HTC failed this device and community.

Batterystats.bin is automatically wiped when the battery charge. So doing all that crazy calibration is honestly a waste of time.

I had to buy extra batteries if I wanted to stay on the bleeding edge of development.
For some reason CM9 was the same way and it took ages to fix. Its just something your going to have to compensate for if you plan on staying with the device.

Download kernel of choice...make sure your s-off then wipe cache and dalvik then flash in recovery or...if your s-on download kernel of choice. Flash it in recovery (for modules to be flashed) then boot into boot loader and run put the boot.img in your SDK/fastboot dir and run fastboot flash boot boot.img and reboot.

So randomly my brother's Galaxy S3 stopped recognizing receiving power from the battery. He thought maybe the battery was dead but we've tested with my battery (fully charge) and nothing happens. When plugged in with a full charged battery it shows the battery level indicator screen with an empty battery. Any ideas? Have flashed phone back to full stock just in case that was causing issues.
EDIT: Realized the battery is recognized but phone is not getting any power from it. With battery in I can boot into download mode. Without battery in I cannot boot into download mode.
Also re-unlocked bootloader, flashed an old version of CWM and cleared battery stats. No dice.

Did you take the OTA to 4.3 before you downgraded? If so you have a soft brick and can repair it in download mode with ODIN and the stock 4.3 rom file

It's not bricked. If I give it enough power through the charger port I can boot into android just fine.
Maybe the battery just crapped out? (Maybe need New battery)
