I am running CWM 4.0.1.5, i seem to be able to run a backup without any problems and while still in recovery i can see the newly created backup folder.
Yet after a restart the folder has gone and i am left with just the one i made a while ago
thats curious, ive never had that happen to me, not even on my HD2...try reinstalling CWM and see if that helps
I have reflashed clockworkmod on top via Rom Manager but still no go, it must be deleting it after
Be careful with 4.0.1.5, it doesn't charge the battery when the phone is off. If the battery is flat, you're stuffed.
The latest is 4.0.1.4 with the blue text.
4.0.1.5 charges fine for me when my phone completely dies

Same here. The .4 version wont light the led on my phone AND makes me do a battery pull to reboot.
I wonder if this issues could affect trying to flash a recovery?
Matt
All fixed, flashed 4.0.1.4 and now i can charge when off and i can have more then 1 backup made

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?

download the rom manager and update cwm recovery. v4.0.1.4 doesnt charge phone when its off
The Alpha Rev version does, forget about Rom Manager
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
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.
Since we know that the last recovery can't charge when phone is off, i'm a little bit affraid.
I love to use Rom Manager but... if my phone is fully discharged, i can't boot and it's the end for my phone? o_o

Some people have had success reviving their phone using various methods, take a look at the link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193315
Try flashing the recovery provided in the post above me, and then run this ADB command:
adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status
You should get battery status (charging or discharging)
If it is discharging, flash other recoveries, including the original AlphaRevX one and the CWM one, and seeing what output you get with the above command.
If none of the recoveries show they are charging after issuing the above ADB command, then either you can be very careful not to let the battery drain, or let the battery drain and risk it and see if the solutions provided in the above thread work, or finally you can flash the stock recovery everytime you don't need the custom recovery (but this can be a pain)
Do this:
DL the .4 referenced version of CWM and then turn off your phone with a semi charged battery. Connect the charger and leave it for an hour. Turn back on your phone and see if the battery has been charging. If it doesnt charge it, OR if you find that you cannot start the phone back up without a battery pull first, then DL the .5 version of CWM.
I found that .4 didnt work correctly for me. While it DID charge the battery, it failed to light the LED AND wouldnt start up without a battery pull. I switched to the .5 version and found everything to work correctly.
It seems that its going to be ONLY one or the other for each person. No one knows why, but this is your best bet.

15 APRIL 2012: ALL - PLEASE NOW REFER TO THIS THREAD HERE
Just found a new Clockwork-5.0.1.0 for our beloved Sensation(al) device
It works fine and didn't find any bug yet
The charging issue some of users had seems to be solved
In order for this to work, the HTC Sensation needs to be S-OFF.
How to Flash:
Flash via boatloader or push adb or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or using Rom Manager
Download:
01/09/2011: 5.0.1.0:HERE
Update 05/09/2011: 5.0.2.0: HERE
If you want to flash via Bootloader just put the following file PG58IMG.zip in your SD card : HERE
changelog: fix the fact that some users were loosing root access with 5.0.1.0
already a heavy thread going for this, but it SHOULD be in the dev thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242522
EDIT* good notes too, there are too many plp who dont know how to do this with either method
Alternative method is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

check out the thread i posted, lots of testing notes
the most significant is the backups/restores are WAYYYY quicker
...and its blue!
Charging issue is still there. Doesn't charge when switched off or battery goes empty. Not Recommended for users who go out of battery very often..
To check if your phone is charging, turn off ur phone, remove and reinsert your battery(to make sure ur phone is fully switched off), then open adb and type::
adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status
if it returns charging, it's fine for u, otherwise Think again..
I got discharging, so reverted back to 4.0.1.4(Modded for charging when switched off)..
Here's link for 4.0.1.4 for those who want to revert back http://goo.gl/4VlGV
it actually does charge when turned off, but not when in hboot/fastboot/recovery
i completely drained my battery, and it charged, but i had to let it fill for a min or so before i could turn it back on with enough juice to get back into OS
not recommended if kill your battery often
EDIT* the link i poseted has a bit of testing already done, it was just put in the general thread, not the dev one
Wouldn't the easiest way to flash it would be through ROM Manager? That's what I did
sent from Christ All Mighty II
you'd be surprised how many people prefer the manual way (im one of them )
im not a fan or rom manager, you dont really *learn* when you use it, and doesnt work all the time

Did u try adb command when phone was turned off?
It gives me "Discharging', when just turned off and connected to PC.
I was f****d when i had just s-offed my Sensation, and went out of battery. So I'm too skeptical about all this
yup, discharging everytime now, looks like it only worked after that initial restart after a battery pull...
oh well, im still keeping it, the backup/restore is much quicker, and i use it a lot

No bro it charging normally even if your phone is turned off. I tried it already cause i have a spare full charged battery. The problem is when you are on recovery aka no charge. Anyway i still find silly to try flash a rom when you are on low battery at all.

even though it says discharging on powered off, it does charge, but u just gotta wait a min or 2 so it has enough juice to power back on...
its not as bad as the < 4.0.1.4 problems, but either way its a better ver of CWM

LED doesn't exactly give proper info. When i was using 4.0.1.4(initial that doesnt charge when switched off that came with revolutionary), i charged phone for whole night and LED was red, but in morning, phone's battery was still empty.
LED is liar lol..

U r right.
But does that mean ADB is liar?? Dunno if i should trust adb or not..

If you let the phone battery run down, it will not, I repeat WILL NOT boot back up out of recovery.
When I plug the charger in it just boot it right back into recovery, which we all know won't charge the battery.
Pull the battery, put battery back in, plug in the charger....boot right back into recovery.
Power off from recovery with charger still plugged in...boot right back up in recovery.
Reboot system from recovery...boot right back up in recovery.
No way to charge the battery without getting out of recovery first.
No way to boot out of recovery without enough juice in the battery.
I had to use the extended battery (spare) to boot up the phone and...well you guest it...to flash the "other" recovery to get it working normal again.

TWRP 2.3.1.0
Works fine on earlier version, if this is a false alarm, then please delete.
Update: After reading through a few forums, TWRP might be able to charge while in recovery. It doesn't work for me.
That's a +1 for 4ext. It let's you charge the battery in recovery.
Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk 2
Your phone should charge in the powered off state though.
Thought so too but I know for a fact that cwm boots you into recovery as soon as there is enough juice to boot. Then having the screen on starting what little there is left. I know because I dealt with that for a month before I realized that my stock battery finally took a drive and wasn't retaining a full charge anymore.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Its recovery 101 never mess with recovery unless you have a decent charge. You are just asking for trouble. I agree it makes 4ext look better because you can charge while in its recovery. If you let your phone die in recovery then you deserve it. Not to sound harsh but for the longest time when devs post roms they said make sure your battery is charged before flashing the rom. You think they was joking? lol
I remember having to do that with the Droid Eris.
Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk 2
I think what he means is, if you let your phone die normally, then plug it in to charge, it will boot to recovery. I had that happen to me when i first tried clockwork touch.
Sent from my Liquid ICS Bolt
Let me clear it up a bit.
If there's not enough juice in the battery to boot up the phone. If you push and hold the power button and nothing happen then you're screwed.
As soon as you plug in the charger, it will boot right to TWRP. you can not stop it from booting into TWRP, when you power it off from within TWRP it will boot right back into TWRP as long as the charger is connected.
Bottom Line:
If your battery went dead (under normal usage condition) and you don't have a good spare. You are SCREWED. This is a FATAL bug.
There's no way to charge a dead battery.
DarkJedi thinks that I'm in TWRP while the phone went dead. The answer is NO. The battery went dead under standby.

You're not understanding the post. This has nothing to do with messing with TWRP. Battery went dead under normal using condition, has nothing to do with recovery.

That's the problem, it will not power down out of TWRP, as soon as you plug in the charger it will boot right back into TWRP.
It has the same cwm bug there used to be. When you plug the phone in to charge it boots into recovery.

That's good to know, I had been using TWRP on my Thunderbolt so I guess it's time to switch back to 4ext, i just wish there was software keyboard support in 4ext.
Also with a note, I had this problem the op had when using TWRP on my Asus Transformer, actually strangely, while the recovery was installed it would not charge the device at all, not even when turned off. Once TWRP was taken off of it, and CWM back on, it charged properly. After using TWRP I can say for some reason this recovery has some serious game changing bugs.
EDIT: Also, "Boot Manager" doesn't seem to be compatible with restoring backups made with TWRP.
Give this build a shot and see if it fixes the charging:

No idea what your trouble with the Transformer were but charging on the Transformer isn't done in recovery and changing recovery wasn't the fix.
The Thunderbolt & most all HTC devices made after it use recovery for charging. There's a handful of HTC binaries & a special init.rc that make the device charge while turned off. None of this is part of the recovery code so it's not inherent to TWRP itself.

Hello XDA Community and stuff,
i have a problem with my S7, which i flashed with Superman Rom a few weeks ago. It worked fine with all its functions, but this morning i woke up with my phone under my pillow. I guess its battery got completly drained out, because it was already low when i fell asleep. i tried charging it, but nothing happens. It also won't boot and the only thing that works, is Download mode. I tried Recovery mode, force reset, safe mode..... nothing works. I'm using TWRP recovery.
I would appreciate, if i could keep my app data, if not then i won't bother, since it can't be helped in my case, if there is no way of doing it without full wipe or anything.
PS: if my english is wrong or at any point not perfect, it may be because i am german.
with kind regards

It worked, but why? it started charging with charging indicator (battery symbol and lightning in the middle with green LED on bottom) after the flash was succesfull. Then i detached it and connected my normal charging cable in wall socket. I had to wait for 1% charge and then i was able to boot normally into my rom. Is there any explanation for that?

Sounds like recovery corrupted, maybe due to the battery running out if it didn't manage to shut itself down in time
