Default BRICKED!!!!!!!

So my DX2 is DEAD and whenever I try to Start RSD Protocol process it says "Battery too low to flash" and it won't charge. Everytime I try to charge it, the phone powers on and stays on the "M" HELP?!!!

It still charges while the M is on. Just maybe let it sit like that for an hour or so then try RSD.

Not trying to be unhelpful, but this post doesn't belong here in the developement forum; rather in the Q&A Forums.

Absolutely 100% correct. Even while displaying the "M", if you plug in using the wall charger, it will charge.

When you actually brick a device, you cannot see anything and nothing, nothing will happen. You answered your own question. Just plug your phone in while on that screen and give it another try in an hour or so.

Yeah thats true too. No offence, just sounds like a user error. Maybe get another battery? Thats why I'm so glad when they swapped my X for the X2 they let me keep the X battery and my girls when she went to the INC2. They sent me a 1990mAh extended battery too so I got two spare original batteries I keep charged. As the other two said again, let it sit an hour or so, try RSD and I'm sure your phone will come back. Even if you get a 100% after RSD and says to manually boot this phone, if it bootloops, battery pull, go to android recovery, data and cache wipe, reboot system and all should work from there.

You are only soft bricked, which means you only need to either wipe devak cache, wipe cache, or possibly do a factory reset. Unless you flashed a system file that put your X2 to sleep till you sbf. Now its sick and it needs to be sbf'ed. Bricked is when it needs to possibly be sent back to Big Red for a Transplant or burial.
Because it is no longer able to get juice through it's motherboard, and turn on.
"I could be wrong" but I soft brick 3 to 10 times daily. Just flashing stuff I have no business flashing. But I flash ReRecovery after every file I flash, just in-case.
I also have a Recovery on hand to restore my system.
I never flash on a low battery. Hope I explained it well enough, Good Luck!!!

I don't want you to think I was being a smart a$$ just trying to explain in a way that most understand.

Nope your just in a really tough spot. Try what the other poster and I suggested and report back. There's an encyclopedia of technical terms some where if you need help understanding posts.

Thank You'
I get confused reading posts all day, sometimes lost, some terms confuse me to.
I'm ADHD & Dyslexic so try to understand the important part of what I need and analyze it in a way I understand it.
Just hope it helps others in the same way.
