Hi,
Would someone be so kind as to help me:
After using speedtweak.sh in das Bamf sense RC5 system froze and I had to pull the batt.
Since then I get random reboots. In fact if I pull the battery and put it back in and connect the charger, it will cahrge for say 2 minuntes and then automatically the phone will start up on its own only to into loops.
I can get into HBOOT, but trying to recover fails after the chosen file is partially through the reco process because it reboots again.
Please help ... thanks
Okay , I fixed it. Not sure what the real cause was however, I booted into HBOOT then used P50IMG.zip out of desperation because CWM would not complete the recovery, phone would boot, and start to loop.
Now, after the RUU flash by HBOOT which did compleet, I rebooted and...YAAAAYYY !! But I did noticed the battery was at only 4 percent by all this (&$#@# around with it. THe charge light would come on but the batt was never really charging I guess.
I wonder if CWM will not function correctly when batt reaches a certain level and that HBOOT doesnt give a rip and will flash regardless of power remaining in batt.
Anyway Im back and yes I am going back to Das BAMF RC5 !!! I love it !!!

Not bricked, just a scare.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 1.1.7
I flashed the camera mod a couple hours ago too.
So here is what happened. I was using my phone as normal, battery was low, I got a text message, when I tried to unlocked my phone to check it the screen went blank and I could not do anything then the phone just turned off. I didn't think much of it, thought it just died. About 30mins later I put it to charge, first on my PS3, but it wouldn't turn on, then on my little brother's computer, it made the USB sound thingy, I tired turning it on again, still nothing. I went to get my wall charger, again nothing. Took the battery out for about 20mins, put it back in and tried to charge it, the orange charge light turned on, but turned off after 5 secs. Left it charging for about 15mins, still nothing.
I was freaking out at this point. I remembered the USB sound my brother's computer made when I connected so I went to connect to my computer. I used ABD to reboot it and like magic it worked.
I'm writing this to share my experience and to ask if anyone knows what happened?
*Update*
Just took my battery out to put my SIM and SD card in and I had to do it again. I'm going to SuperWipe and Re-Flash the Rom.
Which recovery are you running?

It's not only you. Check the Android Rev thread. A lot of people are having this issue after flashing 1.1.7. Flashing a different kernel seems to fix the problem.
So i used my xtc clip to s off an inspire and tried installing clockwork and SU but clockwork gave me an SU error. So i loaded the acehack and tried that, then i ended up getting the soft brick, so i flashed the ruu and it seemed to flash fine but now the phone wont turn on it just charges.
Out of nowhere it just turned on and started vibrating while connected to charger. It wont turn on still when i try.

Have you started with the easiest fix by pulling out the battery & waiting a minute & putting it back in, then try to power on the phone.

yes left it out for 5 mins
Can you get into bootloader or fastboot
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
left battery out overnight and tried turning on again no go
no fastboot or bootloader
removed all cards and still will not power on
phone was left unplugged with battery inserted, just this moment it is now showing the htc logo and continuously vibrating
thats very weird, i dont think its bricked i think its faulty
turning it off does not work, i have to remove the battery
Does it allow you to get into the bootloader by pressing power and - volume at all?

Sounds like you have a corrupt hboot (or ENG hboot on a late model Inspire). You need to get the stock hboot on it and it's not trivial. Try jumping into our irc channel and hopefully we can get you straightened out:

I had a similar situation happen to me. I was able to get into hboot after running hack kit but when it goes to reboot it takes about 10 minutes to finally come back on and does the same as described above. it comes on by itself finally while vibrating for about 2 minutes. after that it will come back up. i have even been able to flash custom roms to it with the only hitch that i can't reboot normally. i still just have to wait til it comes back up on its own. Very inconvenient, but still works. any ideas?

Make a nandroid of your current rom(if it's what you llike/want to use), run the RUU to restore factory config and dl the newest version of the hack kit and reroot it. Once done, restore your nandroid that you made earlier.
ATTN1 made a version of the HK w/ ENG-HBOOT that was discovered to cause very slow boots an pulled it down, the latest version should boot normally upon completion.
thank you for the info. i'll post back when i try to reroot and install ruu
i ended up warranty exchanging my phone, attn was helping me but i think mine was too fubared
I think i bricked my sensation cus i turned it off and it dont turn back on it wasnt dead when i was flashing a rom??
It dont want to do anything not even go into recovery at all what do i do?
LOL WHOA...
stop freaking out lol do your self a favor
what had you done before you turned it off? (flash a rom? flash a mod? flash anything? drop it in water lol?)

check it out i flashed a rom right and it didnt want to boot into recovery so i took the battery out and it never turned on again????
Plug it in let it charge a bit. If the orange light blinks four times and turns off, then you need to do a battery swap.
If it charges then let it charge boot unto recovery and restore your backup. I hope you made a backup.
Which Rom were you flashing?

Mate, you're really not helping yourself here. Can you please give a step-by-step of what you were trying to do and a bit more information as to what happened when it didn't go to plan?
e.g. I was trying to flash a new ROM. The ROM update completed successfully but upon rebooting it wouldn't turn on.
The above example gives a bit more insight as to the situation

Pop the battery out for about 10 minutes then put it back in and try charging the battery. Also try charging from a different power source like an AC adapter or via your computers USB port. If the battery light doesn't come on then your battery is most likely dead and you may need to find a replacement.

you said you didnt get any signal. dude you prolly didnt flashed the correct radios. some roms tells you witch radio you need before flashing the rom. not all the roms have the correct radios due of a lot of sensation worldwide. had you tried to go into fastboot at all by holding power and vol down at the same time.

Yes battery swap as I mentioned.
On a side note
Can anyone tell me why that is the only solution to the problem when the phone dies down like this
Thisy wife let's her phone die alllll the time and I constantly have to swap mine and her battery.
I'm stuck in a boot loop and I have no idea why, and I've tried wiping cache, wiping data/factory reset, and re-flashing the CM7 rom. Nothing worked. What happned was, my phone died, so I plugged it in, and it went into "charging mode". The phone will boot, but the touchscreen doesnt work, and non of the radios turn on, so that it can just charge I guess? anyway, the phone got to about 20% battery so I decided to reboot it so I could actually use it while charging, but when I did, it started boot looping. I tried everything mentioned above and its still boot looping. Is there anything else I can try?
let phone go all the way dead
I run Cyanogemod with Da_G's kernel and I let the device die. I had a similar lock up when I finally plugged the charger back in. After it got to about 8 or 9% is all and was still unresponsive, couldn't unlock the screen I simply pulled the battery AND REMOVED THE CHARGE CORD and counted to twenty, slapped it back in and held the power button for the count of ten and let go. It booted back up fine and no issues since.
I assumed you tried a battery pull?

Yea, that non responsive state is what led me to reboot. It only does that when the phone is dead and you plug it in. I assume it's because with cm7 there is no way to charge while the phone is off, at least that's the way it was with my infuse and captivate. So that's not the issue. It's that when I rebooted to get out of that state, it gets to the cm7 boot logo and then reboots. It's never done that before, and I do that a lot. I searched for this issue and I found someone with a nexus on cm7 that had a boot loop, and it was solved by some cwm zip that deleted the partitions, then once you do that, if you flash cm7, all will be well, but I don't know if that's applicable to this situation.
EDIT: I tried the battery pull, I left it out for 20 min and it's still boot looping
How are you getting into recovery? Seems once you get into recovery and wipe data/factory reset and flash version 4 and flash the kernel it would fix boot loop.
I use three button method to get to clockworkmod recovery.
If you Odin back to stock the method to get download mode for me was volume down only when plugging in.
I have a 400mb+ size file used by recovery of a working image of my favorite setup to flash back to. Everyone should take a few minutes and boot into recovery and make a backup to flash to once you get up and running good.

I tried to duplicate. You are so correct I put the battery back in after making sure the phone was off and then plugged in the power.
For brief moment the big battery symbol appeared, but rather than continuing to stay with that and charge, it blinked away and promptly booted up into that frozen screen and no radio signal.
I had 50% charge when I tested this just now.
Upon pressing the power button I got the shutdown menu, but the screen was still unresponsive and wouldn't let me select reboot.
Ended up doing another battery pull (with no power cord of course)
I don't see how you did it, reboot while in that state escapes me.

I use the three button combo to get into recovery, and I did wipe data then flash both version 4 and the kernel, and it still loops. I am so confused as to how in the world this happened... anyway, I tried to go back to stock using odin twice and it just got stuck at system.img.ext4.
Oh dear you must take this to the Odin thread.... You belong there until you flash back to stock. Did you try only holding volume down when plugging in to download mode? Your skyrocket is powered down when you try?

I got into download mode fine the first time. then when it got stuck, I changed to a usb port on the back of my pc, but it still got stuck. now it just boots right into download mode.
I don't know what changed.. but since going back to stock wouldn't work, I decided to re flash cwm and try to install cm7 again, and I'm now back up and running just fine. This whole situation was very odd... Thank you for being helpful.
Odin3-v1.85.zip is what you have set up on your computer?
Glad you fixed it.

Hello everyone,
First of all sorry if what am about posting had already been discussed, I just couldn't find it. My device has been behaving weirdly recently. It all started by it turning off randomly when I flashed the JellyBean 4.2 custom ROM by albinoman. And each time I turned it back on it showed a battery percentage that was either smaller or bigger than what was there before. I decided to move back to Revolution theme but the same issue persisted. Now, my phone can't go pass the Beats Audio logo when it turns on, but stops and goes off. If I try turning it on again it wount untill I remove the battery, wait like 15secs and put it back again. When I plug in the charger, the LED comes on, goes off and comes on again after 5secs or so...just assuming that. Please if anyone out there could help me out I'll be absolutely grateful , please...

if you have universal firmware as you said then you are on S-OFF
follow this
format all partitoins except sdcard from 4ext
flash the rom
if it doesn't boot then flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img

Little issue is, its getting worse everyday. A couple of days ago I could still turn on the phone and get to the recovery but now it wount even turn on or charge anymore. Could it be my battery is dead?. Cuz it started behaving weirdly recently...like when the phone rebooted it showed a far different battery percentage either lower or upper. Then one day it showed grey with an exclamation sign on it. Then when I plugged in the charger, the LED turned on, then off and then on again and went straight to green, like it charged faster. Thanks for your help, I just hope my phone aint just good for the trash
Try with a new battery.
