Help Bionic Stuck in Ap Flashboot (Boot Failure); Will not Charge(for reflashing)

[ohgodwhy]

Hello everyone. I First wanted to say that I have learned a lot from the smart individuals here. I have rooted devices in the past with not too many problems but this Bionic has given me a headache. Any help is appreciated and thank you.

Confirmed: Updated Moto drivers and rsd 5.6 work fine and are setup correctly.

What happened: I was on the stock bionic (886 i believe). I went to flash the .902 update as i am already rooted and wanted to put ICS on it. It got to step 22/23 and the battery was too low so it failed and stopped. Now every time i turn the phone in, I get the AP fastboot screen with a Boot Failure message. I know of course how this happened, but is there a way to fix it? I cannot reflash without battery power. I left the thing plugged in all night, the device didnt feel warm at all and i've read a few places that AP fastboot mode will not charge a phone.

Currently it goes all black, doesn't turn on while the white led is on, in the top right. That LED only appears when i can't turn it on. It goes away and turns on to the AP flash screen again (assuming that it charges just enough to turn the phone on, then doesnt bother to charge it any more; alas not enough battery power to fix this)

Go to a Verizon and see if they can charge the battery for you.

Wanted to add that i cannot get into default android recovery (well i can, but when i select it, it reboots back to the same ap flash screen.

Yep. Find someone to charge your battery. I just went through that myself and ended up buying an external charger. Drop your battery off at a VZW store and they can charge it on a phone. I'd offer to charge it for you but the post office will confiscate the battery if they find it in the mail.

Can you boot into stock recovery? If you can select the bottom option. This should bring the phone back enough to get a charge. If the phone doesn't boot to this screen, I agree time to go to VZW. I had the same issue trying to upgrade to one of their new radios and the same thing happened. The rep at the VZW store gave me a new battery that had enough of a charge that I could at least boot so I could charge the battery.

Good luck, you have my sympathies.
