As i said on the title,suddenly i couldn't recharge my Universal anymore,yes i've tried with a brend new official battery as well but everything was in vain.As soon as i plug my charge to my Universal it appear a Red Led and after 3 min or so the led turn off and so the battery.
How can i fix this problem?!
Is there any chance?!
Is it really dead like that?!
Please HHHHHHHEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the battery is really brand new, then I guess the connectors might be damaged or the internal power buses might be broken somewhere. Have you dropped your device recently? Or did anything that might explain broken connectors or internal buses?
Nothing happened to my device and never felt down,it just happened suddenly!Now if i won't be able to fix this by myself this means a finger in da a.. cuz my warranty is expired!DAAAAAAAAMN

It can be a software error. Have you tried hard resetting or installing another ROM?

Your battery is fine, unfortunately your device broke
Unless you have a lot of specialized equipment at home, and the proper qualifications, there's no way in hell you can fix this. I'm sticking with my diagnosis, that either the power routing circuit broke down, or a power bus inside the device.
Really, your best off taking it back to the store, and paying for the repair. Either that, or buying a new phone, and selling this one for spares...
Sorry mate...

I wanna die!!!I'm completely Fu.. up!!!
What a terrible news!I can't believe it!!!!
If i'll bring my phone to the assistant i'm gonna pay alot of money,at least 200.00 euro!!!!
similar problem
i had the exact same thing happen to my EXEC when i got 2 new batteries for it. One was a standard sized, pretty much the same as the stock one that came with the phone and one was a much larger capacity one that needs an extra cover for the back.
Id been using the device for ages on this huge battery and the charge said 100% constantly. then the device turned itself off and it wouldnt come back on. upon connecting the charger the LED was red, so i thought the battery was dead. I left it on charge over night and when i tried again the next morning it was fine.
this happens everytime with this battery, it just needs a much longer charge than the standard one, and doesnt register properly on the default OS, i havent tried it on my recent upgrade to one of the midget roms.
so try leaving it on charge over night or for a very long time. if all else fails just get a new battery.
That might reset the battery back to life, but I wouldn't exactly count on that. A battery with a broken monitor circuitry is pretty hard to reset.
My last hope,i'm gonna leave charging my phone for a day and then see what happend....I'm desperate
Permanent red light...
I had this problem, I put the phone on charge but forgot to put a battery in - spare phone... It wouldn't work no matter what I did , until I reformatted the DOC by following the steps in the WIKI.

Could u post it please?!
Took a while but here it is...
I did the task 28 55aa command in MTTY which should reformat the DOC alternatively you could reload the bootloader using the link below...
MTTY with "task 28 55aa", "set 14 0", "set 14 9, "set 14 10" and "set 14 20" as described. bootloader screen may be replaced with a blank one, boot it on bootloader mode by "Backlight+Power+Reset"
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Resets
now upgrade as usual.
If you stuck on the bootloader again after upgrading, try to upgrade the bootloader itself go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1255206&postcount=52

Same Problem, Led Indicator Always red
Hi,
We have the same situation, my jasjar just died in my hands, im reading a txt messages then al of the sudden it hangs, so what i did is reset it but it didnt power on, i removed the battery then after 10mins i put it back but then no power,then i charged it but it didnt power on too and the led indicator is always red, they say that if the indicator is red it means that there is no battery or the battery is missing but i check it thoroughly,the battery is perfectly place on the back of jasjer, i even tried to enter to bootloader but it cant. If anyone knows how can i revive my jasjar pls pls let us know....Thank you so much.

Exactly if my Jasjar is completely dead how can i connect via usb and then use mtty?!
I'm losing my hope to bring it back to live!
have same problem - can do nothing, still waiting
but there is one thing - led flashes once, when i put the charger into the device - but it does nor light, nor flashes - exactly nothing happens
If your device is dead...
Well just to answer the question, if the battery is dead and you can't charge it because of a red LED. I suggest you buy a standalone charger from ebay and charge the battery or get someone else to charge it for you. Then follow the steps as I stated in my previous post...

The point is that the device is dead and that is why the constant red light. I have a device that is stuck on the splash screen (no solution in sight) and another that fell down and broke. The one that fell down does not power on. If you put a charged battery ang plug in the charger nothing happens, no light comes on, but if you put a discharged battery the red light comes on. I have a third Uni that I accidentally flashed with a BA rom. It is behaving exactly like the broken uni, it does not turn on, does not go into bootloader and the red light comes on when I plug in the charger with a discharged battery in it.
For some things, there's just no cure...
Okay I understand where you're coming from but essentially what you need to do, under normal circumstances, is connect it to your PC, which if the device is working at all the PC will detect it but not connect... In the case of two of your Uni's I don't think this will help - the dropped one and the BA ROM failure. The one with the Red LED, which has stopped working could be a component failure on the board or it could be a Corrupt DOC table. Now to get back to how you'd go about fixing it if it is a corrupt DOC table, when you connect it to the PC and the PC detects it you disable ActiveSync and start MTTY it should give you the option of connecting to the USB port, when it does this if you get a prompt the problem should be fixable because MTTY can "talk" to the device... As for the other's try this method and if it doesn't work sell them for parts or canabalise the one for parts for the other...
long story short my wizard fell in the toilet last Jan of 08.. miraculously ,it worked till now, when a few weeks ago failed to flash a new rom. now its stuck on bootloader. my wizard cannot stay on without being plugged into the wall this is a fairly new concept to me because it just started doing that lol
if the battery is taken off the phone the screen messes up (white screen with flashing bars going diagonally) of course i would find out i had to leave the phone on for a week being charged so the screen would go back to normal on its own, so i never take the battery out.
It doesn't charge via wall charger it needs the cradle which i brought separately...another defect on the phone is how the red led light which indicates i guess being charged, is ALWAYS lit..
so i went on to flash the NBDX Rom successfully maybe a month prior to the accident. it went on to satisfied me till i decided to try something new, by flashing the SimOne MD2 rom (so tempting)
so now that the flashing was unsuccessful i am stuck on bootloader because since my phone cant stand being on without being charged it will turn off after a minute, so it will NEVER go on to finish ....
well anyway, that's my story. i just thought you would know (was bored) lol maybe its time for a new phone anyway ..Well, thanks for reading my article..
It sounds like a hardware, not software, issue. I think the timing was just a coincidence. Perhaps a new battery would help. Also, try charging with an external charger. Sorry about your loss.
Hey guys, i've done the search button and still can't find any answers. First of all, all i've done to my phone : S-off, superuser, root. No custom ROM installed. i did that 2days prior yesterday and it was working and charging fine. So yesterday when i was playing paradise island my phone died. I connected it to the USB wall charger and left my room. After 3-4hrs, my phone is still dead. So i thought maybe the USB or wall charger is not working. I tried using my cousin Mytouch wall charger with the htc USB, still doesnt work but using my wallcharger with the mytouch usb, my cousin's phone charges.
When i try to charge my phone, the amber light comes on but its flashing, then after 3 times, light will stop
Troubleshooting i've done
I've tried numerous times to go to HBOOT, nothing
Removed the battery several times, nothing
tried USB charging through my laptop nothing.
Any help guys??
Same issue!
Please help with this!!
CMW
If you search you'll find that there is a problem and after installing CMW Recovery most phones will not charge if they're off, so if you let your battery drain to the last you will be unable to charge your battery trought the phone, no solution at this moment for this
Work arounds
- Charge your battery on a wall charger directly not trought the phone
- Charge your battery on an stock untouched Sensation

Wallcharger, is there one i can purchase??
Is the battery itself the problem?? because t-mobile, will sent me a new battery. I've only had this phone for 3 weeks. IF the battery itself not the problem, they will send me a new phone but i'm assuming that i've going to have to send the old phone back, is there going to be an issue regarding the warranty when i send the old phone to them???
it's not the battery, it's the cmw what's the problem. You have an older version of cmw.
I see, where to get the latest CWM? There's a way to go back to stock right?
Now i kinda regret S-OFF,ROOt, CWM ...lol..-.- i know it's my fault tho...
Once you managed to boot the phone again, you can install rom manager, from there you can easily install the latest cmw.
i have the latest CMW Still doesn't charge when battery at 0%
You would think they would test CMW before releasing....

I used CWM 4.0.1.4. From what i know its suppose to fix the charging problem. As of right now, im trying to manually charge my battery by splitting on of my old USB cable +wall charger. So hopefully this will work.
None of the threads in the entire forum are even remotely helpful if you can't even get the phone to turn on.
I can't reflash the recovery - if there is no way for me to get into the bootloader.
A wall charger hasn't helped - nor my N1 battery taped in.
NOTHING.
Please stop jumping a million steps ahead to reflashing the recovery - start with HOW TO TURN THE PHONE ON - bearing in mind that NOTHING IN THE FORUM so far has worked.

I've been using my brothers G2 battery (which doesn't fit) to turn on my phone.
But since I don't have a universal charger, and my phone wont turn on (I tried EVERYTHING) than there is no point to attempt to get into recovery unless I'm going back to stock.
Tl;DR CWM Needs to fix there shhhhhheeeet.
I finally manage to turn on my fone by splitting my old usb cable...i know somone said, its dangerous but it work for me....so do it at your own risk....now im juz looking for a safe wayto revert to stock w/o cwm,root,super user....might keep S-off tho
Any suggestion
If u need to start you fone....get a spare usb cable...and split it..remove the battery from your fone. Now tape the red wire to positive and black to negative....attach the usb to ur wall charger.....then wait 10- 20 min. Now remove ur battery then insert it back to you phone and turn it on. Once it starts, connect it to ur htc usb+ wallcharger.... once again, someone said its dangerous....so make this your last resort

Yeah. That didn't work for me. After splitting two cables - I decided to cut my losses.
Unfortunately I'm not in the US - and that's where I bought the phone. I'm going to try and find and independent vendor and see if they have a battery I can buy.
If not - I am ROYALLY screwed.
Yeah the battery/cwm combo is ****ed. So angry.
Do you have the one with the blue text? It's supposed to fix these issues
Swyped from my HTC Sensation
Sorry to revive this thread, but I am in the same boat. After trying to flash android on my brother's hd2, I noticed that the battery died. I cannot charge it since it has no ROM currently installed... Has there been a fix?
Sorry for the length, but its a complex issue, it least its a bit entertaining ... if your not me.
My Sensation took a random fall last week while charging, It just happened to be that it landed on the usb cord and damaged the port. To give you some idea of the extent of the damage the plastic piece internally that has the pins was bent/broken. It obviously would not charge after this event.
I have a second battery and external charger so it was little more then a minor inconvenience to swap batteries twice a day for a few days until I could look into getting the phone replaced/repaired. For the next 4 days the phone worked flawlessly. I took the phone into a reputable repair location and they replaced the MicroUSB port for $45. Since then however I have had a series of issues that are randomly triggered as described below in point form.
1> After getting the phone back I used it for the rest of the day and then went to charge it. It charged for 5-15 minutes, then would stop charging. If I unplugged it and plugged it back in, it would charge for another 5-15 minutes, and stop charging again. After the second cycle I started trying various other charging parts: I tried a different HTC branded cable, different HTC branded wall adapter, a non-HTC branded charger (that worked fine previously), Tried charging with the USB port of my computer, tried power cycling the phone multiple times. None of these had any effect on the charging cycle so I swapped batteries and charged externally. When that battery died I tried charging with my regular HTC charger again and it completed the charge cycle with no issues, Since then I've swapped batteries again and it charged that battery with no issues, so definitely not a battery issue. The non-charging issue has happened a few other times as well, details in the following points.
2> The next day the went to sync my contacts and offload some SD card content. When I connected the phone the computer detected the phone and I chose to sync, its like it attempted to sync a few times before actually completing the sync, the software would say syncing, for a few seconds then disconnect, syncing then disconnected, after 3-4 cycles it stayed connected for a minute or so and the sync completed. Then as soon as it finished the software said disconnected and it hasn't be able to reconnect since. Now when I plug it in, it starts charging but no dialog box prompts for the usual (mass storage, charge only, USB tethering, etc). Computer sees it as a unrecognized USB device. Obviously I have rebooted both the phone and computer multiple times, still no data connectivity. I also tried a different computer that my other HTC device gets synced to and it also does not cause the phone to prompt for what type of connection.
Later that day I turned the screen on to find it saying no SD card was installed, weird... I rebooted, still no SD card found. So I shut it off, removed the SD card, blew it out with compressed air, reinserted and its been fine since.
3> The next day I noticed the phone died rather quickly, I was on the road so I swapped batteries and then I figured out why, after it finished booting up and I turned the screen off a few seconds later the screen turned back on and it waited at the lock screen, I would turn it off, it would turn back on, we had this argument for a solid 15 minutes off and on, off and on I also tried multiple reboots with no effect. Eventually it stayed off started working like normal. it was random times when it would turn on, sometimes 2 seconds sometimes a minute or more. When I would unlock the screen it would be at one of two places, either at the HTC locations app telling me to turn on GPS or with a prompt asking me to choose an action: either Dock or TuneIn (not sure how these are remotely related apps)
4> I keep my auto-rotate off but that night I was browsing with maxton (using the phone in portrait mode, but laying in bed so the phone is in landscape) and it kept rotating. I checked the setting and sure enough auto-rotate was off, but it insisted on rotating. I toggled auto-rotate on then off again, still kept rotating. Frustrated I plugged phone it, and went to sleep, it charged and in the morning it was not auto-rotating, acted as if nothing had happened.
5> SINCE THAT: the random screen turning on issues, charging issues, and rotation issues have each reoccurred a couple times sometimes independently sometimes in combination with each other.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Today the phone worked fine all day, I played games, surfed internet, sent email, charged it, talked on it, etc. Then tonight while talking it started randomly turning off/on, loading Locations, or asking about dock/Tunein, meanwhile jumping in and out of rotate because I was laying down (auto-rotate still off ). This caused it to jump in and out of speaker mode and the other party I was talking too got a real earfull of my feelings for the phone. I eventually left it on speakerphone in the dock mode and finished the call. 5 minutes later the call was done and the phone acted as though nothing was wrong. (At this point I felt like the phone deserved to be the star in a Steven King novel)
A couple hours later I went to charge it and it was doing its charge for 5 minutes, stop. Unplug/plug-in and charge for 5 more mins etc. This argument went on 4-5 times and it still charging now about an hour later.
So here is the question: Do you think this is something to do with the replaced USB port or the process of replacing it, or is it perhaps a corrupt OS? Keeping in mind that it was fine after the fall, no issues until the port repair. I'm running ARHD 6.0.4, I wanted to upgrade to 6.0.8 to rule out OS before going back to the service store, but Mike's link for the firmware upgrade is still down so I'm stuck for the moment, but I don't want to wait too long before going back to them. (if someone has the 3.33 ARHD firmware/radio please PM me I have ad ftp server you can send it to)
Reasons why I suspect/hope possible corrupt OS:
All the issues seem to be potentially software related.
I removed the SD card and SIM when they had the phone for repair, they most likely booted it up without the SD, perhaps there was some system files that corrupted when SD wasn't present?
Prior to the fall the phone had a couple occurrences of software issues relating to the SD card. twice in the last 3-4 months I lost ability to read the SD card but each time it was rectified with a reboot. Also ever since flashing ARHD 6.0.4 I I have had no bluetooth functionality. I could turn it on, but had no control panel to search for other devices or make the device discoverable, so there was definitely a software issues relating to that, I never used BT so it wasn't a big issue.
I'd really appreciate some thoughts, or 3.33ARHD firmware
Thanks in advance

Wow long post XD OK I think your best bet would be to flash a stock ics rom. As it Is essentially the same as arhd ( I believe mike trys to keep it as stock as possible) if you keep getting the issues take it back and say to them. Just make sure they don't know you have changed the firmware in case they try to say You have messed it up and refuse to fix it. Worst case scenario I imagine would be if they damaged the board during the repair, but it definitely could be all software related. So flash stock rom and test for 2 days. If fixed then flash up to mikes update when its up if not then off to the repair shop for an argument

Thanks for taking the time to read it, I know it was super long.I bought the phone with ARHD 5, but had glitches so I read and figured out how to update it to 6.0.4, so my knowledge is really limited to that of ARHD. Following your recommendation I have been doing some reading and I'm still a bit confused. If I flash the stock ROM and I going to lose my root and s-off which I need will need to move back to an ARHD ROM later?
It seems that I have seen more then one stock ROM in the posts I was reading about reverting back, so I'm unsure what one I should use, and will I also need to downgrade firmware and radio to go back to the stock ROM as well? I'm currently running 3.32.401.3CL309896 firmware, and 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M
Perhaps you can suggest a post that will give me instructions and all relevant files I need to revert back, preferable in such a way that I can just move back to a custom ROM later without worrying about all the preliminary work to make the phone ready

Thanks for taking the time to read it, I know it was super long.I bought the phone with ARHD 5, but had glitches so I read and figured out how to update it to 6.0.4, so my knowledge is really limited to that of ARHD.

1. The current ARHD rom is 6.8.0 and iirc its super stable ..try it and see
2. flashing stock rom ..will restore everything to stock (recovery and rom and obviously root will be gone too ) but SOFF wont/cant be changed ..so you can just flash a 3.33 firmware then a custom recovery and then rom pretty much ..remember SOFF is all that is needed and literally you can change anything
3.right now the current firmware you have is sufficient to update to ARHD 6.8.0 but if you still want to flash 3.33 ..check here
4.for flashing firmware and ARHD rom ..check the stickies in sensation general section ..there is a dedicated thread for this process which was excellently written by joaquinf
I actually work in a repair shop like the one you visited, and I can tell you, it is NEVER our intention to damage the phones more, HOWEVER replacing a charging port requires quite a bit of heat to be applied directly to the Main Board, and occasionally, RARELY, this has adverse effects on the board. Not saying they DID damage it, and definitely not saying they wanted to damage it, but it can happen from time to time. Ive seen it myself.
If changing the software doesnt help, they should have some sort of warranty (we do) and they can try to troubleshoot it or put a different port down, as it may be shorting something out

Thank you for the info and especially the link to 3.33 firmware, since Mike's link is still down. That was really the one piece I was waiting for before moving forward. I know 6.8.0 is compatible on 3.32 but because of my missing BT I wanted to upgrade the firmware before applying the new ARHD in the hopes that it fixes my previous existing BT issue along with the rest of my current headaches. I am familiar with joaquinf's dedicated thread it was what I initially used back when I upgraded to 6.4.0. Very well written and a great help :good::good:
I believe I will try for the 6.8.0 upgrade as my first attempt then stock if that is still giving me issues. I'll post back in a couple days with the results.

Thanks for you input. The thought that they did this intentionally never crossed my mind, I'm sorry if it at all came across that way. There were very accommodating and professional to deal with, and I'd be happy to recommend them as I truly believe this was a unfortunate side effect of the repair. By trade I'm a electrical engineer so I know all to well what the processes required to carry out the repair and the inherent possible risks involved, I considered doing the repair myself, but due to my schedule I thought it was easier to pay someone else to do it. Whatever the cause its unfortunate, but one thing is for sure, If I had of put the phone on the floor and not the night stand I wouldn't be sitting here now figuring out answers.
Lastly:
If anyone reading this is in need a repair shop in Hamilton ON Canada PM me I'll be glad to send you their information.
Thanks again!
Just an update for anyone who googles this and wonders what the results were. In the two days following my last post a couple weeks ago my phone continued to experience the random issues I described, however after those 2 days all issues disappeared and the phone worked fine. After three days of perfect functionality I flashed the 3.33 firmware and ARHD 6.8.0. The phone worked fine for one more day and then the same random issues, started resurfacing, but with much less frequency. So that brings me back to believing there is definitely something up with the physical repair. The issues are very spuratic, and I often get 1-3 days with no issue and then the phone starts spazzing out in any number of ways, for some random time. I don't find reboots or anything specific fixes it, other then just letting it spaz out until it returns to normal. Sometimes a drop of about 18" onto a solid surface such as a table or wood floor stops its spazzing, but at that it sometimes stops spazzing for 10 minutes, sometimes 1-3 days... which continues to make me think there is a short or bad connection somewhere.
Its all in chronological order. As the title says my phone wont charge. USB CABLE from PC or wall charger it just wont charge. Following some threads i also removed the battery and connected it to main but no led would show up. Right now i've removed the battery and charging on universal charger fine,
So here is the history. I dont know what can cause it not to charge. While i was at university my phone fell on the ground. It was not from height as i was just sitting on the sidewalk and it fe ll down. Then I came back home. I have ICS Ruu Saga on it which i'm not happy about and wanted to go back to GB ever since i realized that my camera quality is worse than before and my Subway Surfer game is not smoother any more,
Seeing some threads I selected the recovery option in bootmode (vol down+power). After few second a red triangle came showing ! sign. I removed the battery and re-inserted as the power key wont work. When i re-inserted the battery and powered up but it was different boot method. before selecting recovery option the booting of phone was smooth..but after that it stucked for a few seconds first and then came the home screen.
After all this as my battery was getting low i decided to put it on charge. I connected USB Cable to charge it and realized after sometime it isnt being charged,,,there was no orange led that usually indicates its being charged.
So thats all. I dont know if dropping the phone was cause of it or doing recovery ( note: i never made a backup of my phone every..i dont know why i did it, in hoping that it would go back to GB itself) and the appearing of red trianlge with ! mark and me removing the battery did it.
Please help me. I spent entire night on finding the solution but couldnt find anything.
Phones warranty is over..Its not rooted or has CWM as i dont know that stuff.
