So I had leaked ics. Flashed the other ics rom. Wouldn't boot
Used script to downgrade to 2.3.5 and it got stuck on M screen
Flashed again, but battery's too low. So now I'm stuck in Fast boot mode with a low battery.
Will it charge if I plug into wall and/or computer?
What can I do? I just want it to charge long enough to flash and turn on!!!

You'll need to find a way to charge it, either buy getting your hands on another better or trying the MavGuyver Method (search xda for it), however the latter mentioned can be risky if not careful. White light I'm assuming is on when you try to charge?
Edit: This type of thing has been seen here before, and there are threads regarding this problem. Not sure how that may or may not affect the leak in this situation, but regardless you have to get power to the device.

If I plug in it goes right to fastboot. Only get a white light if I hook up without a battery in

My phone is boot looping right now and w. the phone off I plug the phone into a power source and this pops up on the screen. I was just wondering if its charging while this screen comes up? I'm asking because usually u can c the the battery icon filling up with a green meter going through it. Anyone?
It's not AFAIK. Charging while off is still controlled by the kernel. If it won't boot, then the phone has some kernel/ROM problems, and therefore won't charge.

It should still be charging, but if that screen stays up and the screen won't turn off, it will not charge very fast, if at all (depends on the charging method).
Download and flash stock 2.3.6 odin with pit file.. Boot.. Flash newest recovery.. Flash ROM of choice via new cwm.. Profit (who Cares if its charging)

Agreed when my phone was soft bricked that battery icon screen came up so they I thought it was charging but it really wasn't. When I finally got the phone into a working state the thing was pretty much dead.

Using the program here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835791
I tried to unlock my bootloader. Everything seemed to go fine until the program said the phone was rebooting.
The display went dark as if rebooting but never came back on. Since that moment I can't get the phone to power up at all. I can't get into recovery or download mode. The screen doesn't seem to even try to come on. The phone acts as if it has no battery installed even though the battery is there.
Anyone have any suggestions or do I have a legit brick?

Could be a major detail that some might overlook. That'd for sure do it. I got rid of my OG few weeks ago n I'm still stock so I wouldn't know this, but doesn't the process only take like 10 seconds if that? The actual flashing that's taking place. So it'd have to be quite the odds to lose juice in the middle of flashing. But wouldn't it be charging if its plugged in usb? I hope that my man who posted this gets it powered back up. Would be a major bummer otherwise.

That's pretty strange see if when you take your battery out of the phone if you can plug into the wall and boot.

Thanks everyone for the replies.
Yes I have tried it without the battery. Right now I'm letting it sit without any battery or power to it to allow all components to discharge. I'll try it again in a couple of minutes.
I'm beginning to think I've got a real live or rather dead brick.

Just to make sure you read and followed all steps right? This one seemed crucial
**** IF YOU HAVE ANY PROGRAMS THAT SYNC WITH YOUR PHONE THEY NEED TO BE UNINSTALLED OR NOT RUNNING BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE BRICKS, Pdanet, easytether, droid explorer, kies, etc., etc., on down the line. I repeat if you have a program on your computer that syncs with your phone, it is NOT COOL TO HAVE THAT RUNNING! ****
Just trying to narrow down what the hell could cause the device not to power back up, also how long did you leave the device plugged before disconnecting or pulling the battery. Did oden stop responding or say anything other then rebooting ?

Or instead of paying shipping plus not having a phone for a week or so, you could file an insurance claim... Haha. Last I checked Asurion was still giving new phones due to lack of refurbs.
I had to run out quickly earlier to get a new sim for my Thunderbolt so I can have a phone to use in the meantime. The sim I had for it didn't work.
Some good suggestions. Thanks everyone. I'll have to ponder my options few as they are.

Yeah but when Vzw gets it back do they then discover it was rooted and then charge me for breaking warranty? I've always wondered how much they could tell in a situation like this.

They don't have to get it. Say you dropped it off a boat and you couldn't save it. They don't need it for insurance.

I had this happen on an HTC phone one-time. No joke, but to fix it, I think it ended up holding down power + volume down or up and then put the battery in. I tried a bunch of combinations like that until it booted. Same thing when taking the battery out. Does the red light show when the phone is plugged in?
Was running cm10 4.1.1 with butter from last month's build. Running great.... but then phone turned off while in idle one time and won't restart. Won't even bring to Samsung screen or when plugged into computer.. no download mode. No cwm boot as well. I've tried pulling the battery and even putting in my spare one.. no luck. However, sometimes when I do just try to power up normally my keys light up and give the vibration when touched. Which provides some hope
Never had a brick like this before, I believe it's a hard brick. I'm sure there's software to run... just not sure since no download mode.
Thanks

Not sure if a jig (ebay or make one) would help. It might allow you to try and turn it on, kind of like a jump start.

So I recently got my jig, didn't feel like sacrificing a cable. I'm sad to say that when plugged in (and yes it is plugged in correctly) there is no response from my phone. The download screen does not appear. Just remains blank.. I tried the same jig on my friend's gs2 for us cellular and worked there. Is my phone so messed up that the jig will not be recognized?
Also, the jig I ordered has been reported to work fine on the infuse.

If you had a decent battery (fully charged) and the jig works, and you can't force it into DL mode, there are 3 possibilities:
1. Hard bricked. - You need jtag rescue.
2. The phone's USB port is not working correctly. Broke or dirty. Open and clean.
3. Battery connection is not working. Clean the contacts. Some corrosion can occur.
Take your phone apart and check the boards and connections.
So after flashing CM10 I fxz'd back to 2.3.5 and now my phone won't turn on and shows a white light and only shows a white light when connected to my computer. Can someone help?

Let it charge for half a day just in case.
The 'white light' 'won't boot' scenario is most definitely the signs of a hard brick. If the device will not boot, it will not charge...

You have to charge the battery with another Atrix 2, or, with a universal charger.
I mean, you're pretty ****ed.
Yes it's hard bricked. We have told many people not to fxz back in this case. If it won't boot, it won't charge. The part that charges the battery is part of the system that you borked.

So this morning I installed SkyJellybean from seanzscreams. I've been using it all morning and into the afternoon. I've installed plenty of custom roms, i have CWM from skater and I've never had a problem... until now. I went on a walk with my girlfriend, phone in my pocket the entire time, when I got back I pulled my phone out and tried to unlock it. Nothing happened. I tried to reset it. Nothing. Pulled battery, tried to go into recovery, tried to go into download mode, absolutely NOTHING. My phone isn't responding whatsoever. Seems like a brick but before the walk the phone was working perfectly fine and now it's dead. I didn't do anything from the time I stopped using it to the time I got home. This makes no sense to me whatsoever. It doesn't even vibrate. What in God's name is going on here?
Tell me what you think.
No offense....but...dead battery?
maybe the battery is dead.
if that doesn't work try a jig USB_JIG

if u usb connect to the pc and pull battery to boot in dl mode and *the pc doesnt recognize it at all* use samsug kies to manually install the device drivers on the computer and odin will should find ur phone. the phone will be blank probably but the green light will turn on in odin. i have bricked this thing bad. sometimes it takes 3-4 days of being dead with no battery in it before it will boot into dl mode.
