[Q] LOW Battery fastboot, SOL. Right?

I messed up flashing a ROM, so it gets stuck on the M logo screen. When I tried to fastboot it, it says low battery. Am I out of luck? Been looking around and couldn't find anything that was helpful to my situation.
try leaving it pluged in with the original charger and cable for a while to see if battery status changes.

I've considered the Factory Cable method for a while, and thought it was too much of a hassle.
Try going into the motorola recovery (power+both volume buttons) and then do a full wipe.
Then Reboot and (if you installed it) you should boot back into CWM recovery.
From there do a backup restore. Reboot. The phone will still boot into Flashboot, but if you turn it off it should charge normally.
I had the same issue as you and somehow these steps allowed me to get the phone charged again.
I then used RSDlite and Fla**** to bring me back to the last OTA
Turn off the phone. Press power button and volume + and volume - the same time, hold 3 sec it will show up a menu.
Use volume - to navigate down to "recovery" then press volume + to choose.
When the phone shows android robot with a triangle, press volume + and volume - the same time.
You will enter recovery menu.

Yup, I've seen and done all of this. All I see is
Reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
Should I put the fastboot file sd card and select the second option? I have yet to try that

Tried rooting Alcatel t10

Hi,
Can you enter stock recovery or bootloader ?
If you can,
did you try to clean cache or factory data/reset ?

I'm very new with the Alcatel t10, can you tell me how to do any of those?

I don't own alcatel, but usually you enter boot menu by holding power on + volume down button while phone is booting.
You should see android with yellow triangle (it may differ).
From there menu should pop up when you press both volume up and down.
Use volume up/down to navigate trough menu and power button/camera button to select.
Select clear cache first and then try to reboot.
EDIT :
I found this :
Alcatel One Touch T10 must be OFF
REMOVE SD CARD
2 STEPS
1. PRESS POWER ON & VOLUME DOWN simultaneously
(WAIT UNTIL THE ANDROID CHARACTER SHOWS UP(WITH DAMAGE BELLY).
2. PRESS VOLUME DOWN ALONE 5 TO 10 TIMES OR UNTIL THE OPTION SHOWS UP.
(USE VOLUME -/+ FOR SELECTION AND POWER ON/OFF OKAY/ENTER)
Btw removing SD card isn't necessary but sometimes it can format sd card too so it is just to be on safe side if you have a lot of data on SD CARD.

[Q] System Tuner Pro

Hi, I've got a problem with System Tuner Pro. I've applied all the Presets and when I restarted my phone keeps restarting.
Is there any way to "uninstall" this application (and rollback changes) so I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Andrew.
My Phone is a Sony Xperia Mini Pro SK17i
OS: Gingerbread 2.3.4
System Tuner Version: 2.5.10
try factory reset,
it will delete all data on phone, but not on SD card.
Turn the power off. If your Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Volume Down button
Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

Hi Leviathan.
I've already fixed the issue. I've used Flashtool to factory reset the phone.
Thanks for your reply!

Bricked model XT916 not recognized via ABD but recognized by RSD Lite

Hello,
My xt916 bricked for no reason. It is not rooted. Do not respond to any commands such power, power + volume down, power + volume up. The only sign of life is when connected to charger or USB the back home and menu buttons on the bottom light in white.
Searching for solutions I tried to flash stock again with MTK-RSD Lite ver 6.1.6. Used rom XT916_2_26D_2014_A02_MP.mzf
The device appears as connected and enters download mode. The process completes and it shows PASS at the end.
However no sign of life afterwards. Same as before.
Tried to enter recovery mode or fastboot via ADB but when I type adb devices nothing is shown.

Thanks for the tip. Already tried this. The phone only lights up when connected by USB or charger. Whether is connected or disconnected (with battery only) it does not respond at all to any key combinations.
The only noticeable thing it is when connected by USB with RSD Lite software when I try power volume down the phone enters download mode and I can flash a rom.

Thanks for reply. When should I do that combination? While the phone is off or while is stuck on this screen? How long should I hold power key? Just for a second or until something happens?

Same thing, it got booted up in Android but this time it says "Safe mode" in the bottom left corner (can't remember if it said that last time).
Power off ur phone before following the above key combination and wait until the screen turns back on.
Don't understand you, but I think you should go to download mode and reinstall TWRP.
