Batteries are in comma and problem with dfu-util

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Hi all,

I have a Neo 1973 and a Freerunner. After playing with the Freerunner 
for a while it seems that I made it unbootable, but I was able to flash 
both of them with the scaredy cat images. Using the battery from 1973 I 
can boot the Freerunner because the battery of it got discharged when 
playing with the images, but I got also this battery discharged. Now I'm 
able to boot for a while the Freerunner using the wall connector. I only 
get the logo (I suppose this is because of the previous wrong flashing 
hacking) but as soon as I disconnect the FR from the wall it shuts down 
and if I connect to a Laptop USB port I get a strange sound (like a cat 
purr) and probing different combinations I can make the FR starts for a 
little while but after few seconds it turns off.

It seems that I need an external battery charger (or another battery, 
but the discharging problem will persist). They are not dead, because I 
get signals of life, but they are in a deep comma, so if any of you have 
any idea about how to wake up them I will be glad to hear you. Anyway 
before the batteries didn't work I get this problem with dfu:

Running the first time a error -62, like this:
