Is it safe to use rom manager now - HTC Sensation

I know earlier rom manager had a charging issue bug for the sensation just wanted to know if the newest version was ok to use

4.0.1.4 clockwork is the correct one for the charge when battery dead.

Non. Rim manager still installs the bugged 4.0.15

What bug is this? I flashed virtuous sensation kernel v8 and I'm running smooth at an oc'd 1.5 GHz....

I guess I don't know what bug this is either, I'm on recovery 4.0.15 and it charges fine. Even when its off....If I'm using the wrong recovery point me in the right direction please.

Yeah, I just looked, I'm definitely running 4.0.15 too, and my device charges perfect, if something bad is gonna/might happen please let us know what it is, and how I can change the version of clockworkmod recovery.... Thanks....

@Xsnipuhx, how long have you been on it?

Its acually cwm recovery that you have installed wrong. You need 4.0.14 not what you have. The problem with 4.0.15 is if you uncheck fastboot and your phone shuts off from low battery. You will not be able to charge it in order to get it back on. Therefore you must get the other version. Im sure rom manager is giving you the wrong one. I know you havent seen a problem yet. But you will if you uncheck fastboot and run out of battery. Flash new version alpharev cwm here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16125079

This isnt true, and has been spread from day one. Many people have found it to work, just fine, with fast boot off. I have found it to work just fine as well. For those people, the other version (.4) DOESNT work just fine. I found that it wouldnt light the led or let me reboot without a battery pull.
The truth is, is that EITHER may work or ONE OR THE OTHER. Its EASY to figure out which one...
DO THIS WITH A CHARGED BATTERY!!!
Firs try .4 since most people are using it and that keeps us all on the same page.
Start with a partially charged battery. Note the capacity before pulling the battery and replacing it. Charge for an hour and then try to turn the phone on.
If it boots up, check that it charged. If it did, then great. If it did AND it lit the LED, SUPER GREAT! If it didnt light the LED, but you can live with that, then thats just dandy as well.
If it DIDNT work, then try the .5 version. I have yet to find someone that couldnt get either version to work PROPERLY.

Thanks I already have the newest version of alpha as a recovery I just like to view available roms on the manager and what not I used it on my og droid all the time but in order to check roms you need to flash the recovery and I dont wanna lose my alpha for a glitched recovery. Just gonna stick with alpha for now

I keep reading you want 4.0.1.4 with blue text... I have to say I'm a bit surprised not to see more discussions about this.. a stable/working recovery seems like a pretty important thing and its not clear to me that we are 100% there yet...
I'm also surprised there aren't more discussions on this. My battery died and it was a real ***** to get working again.
This is pretty important.

The version you want is the second 4.0.1.4. Confusing I know but 4.0.1.5 has the charging bug and instead of releasing 4.0.1.6 with a fix someone had the bright idea of going back to a modified 4.0.1.4.

And the problem is if you use ROM manager which thinks 4.0.1.5 is the latest when it's actually 4.0.1.4 second edition (blue text) you need.

Agreed. ROM Manager is best ignored at the moment.
i Had 4.015 charge light came on when charge power off but it was false charge, confirmed with adb, updated with 4.014 with blue text. Charging with power off.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I have 4.0.1.5 and mine charges without problems when power is either on or off. Bit i dont know if it charges with dead battery. As i understand the new modified 4.0.1.4 charges dead batteries also ??
Again thanks in advance.... Hope for some answers
I can confirm the new 4.0.1.4 does not charge with the battery dead. However, I've found that some can, some can't. I'm currently on 4.0.1.5 and until I get an alternate charging source I'm not letting the battery die.
I'm on revised 4.0.1.4 and can charge while off, I couldn't while on 4.0.1.5. Haven't let my battery die so can't comment on that, but I guess it's best not to risk it which ever your using!

Hi!
Strange behavior on my Sensation.
I have installed ARH 1.1.8 (I was back to stock rom due to issues with 1.1.7). I have also installed the CWM 4.0.1.4 Recovery (blue text with Revolutionary logo).
In the Power settings, I unchecked FastBoot.
If I turn off the sensation and plug the wall charger, the battery doesn't charge (led is off) and I can't start the Sensation without first removing the battery...
Then I have flashed the stock recovery, turn off the sensation, plug the wall charger, the led is on during 3 seconds then shut down and again I can't start the Sensation without first removing the battery.
Now I have re-flashed CWM 4.0.1.4 Recovery and re-checked FastBoot in the Power settings and it charges normally...
Do I use the bad version of the CWM recovery? Why doesn't it work with the stock recovery (it did with the stock rom)?
Could it be related to the rom?
Thanks in advance for your help!
NB: Sorry for crossposting but I haven't received any answer in the other posts for the moment...
I had similar problem. I followed guide to debrand and stay s-off. Then I followed the guide for root and super cid to flash 4.0.1.4 updated and then leedroid

***warning*** do not install official cwm updates!!!

After booting with the *fixed* charging issue, I opened up ROM Manager and was prompted to update to the latest version. 5.0.0.10 I believe.
**********DO NOT DO THIS UPDATE AS IT WILL KILL CHARGING**************
I only escaped because I had a spare battery from my previous Sensation that luckily had enough charge left to turn on the device.
************DO NOT UPDATE UNLESS THE DEVS SAY SO***********
You may lose the ability to charge your phone! Meaning - if it dies, the phone is dead. End of the line.

and even if you were right.. it woulndt be a brick.. there is always this option:

I've had the newest version from Rom Manager for awhile now, and it works fine. Charges while off and everything. We've already got discussions on the new CWR in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242522 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242942
No problems here either
I updated to v5.0.1.0 and got no problems with it. I got 3 battieries so no worries! You wont brick your phone either if you run out of juice, theres a micky mouse way to "jump starting" your dead battery posted above. You guys should really invest $15 for an external charger and anker battery from ebay. The investment is so little for piece of mind.

External charger? Since when would a dead battery = a brick? It's not an iPhone with internal battery that can't be removed.
You aren't even on the latest version of CWM. 5.0.1.0 is the latest and 100% stable.

I have always been afraid of upgrading after the last fiasco. I remember the problem occurred when you uncheck fastboot. But when fastboot was unchecked the phone would not charge. Knowing that fastboot is default on many ROMs, are you guys sure the issue has been resolved in the update? Did you try checking to see charging was happening when you actually uncheck the fastboot?

Well it works when when fastboot is checked. Meaning the phone actually is not off. But does the update allow charging when you uncheck fastboot?

Yes. To prove to yourself, pull battery put back hook up to computer and...
adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status

Phone wont turn on while charging. Orange led blink [Solved]

Yesterday i flashed my HTC Sensation with Virtuous Inquisition v.4.0.2. I used the instructions on this site techsliver.com/how-to-s-off-root-flash-cwm-recovery-on-htc-sensation-with-hboot-1.27.0000
Everything else is fine except the fact that when my phone is off and i plug the charger the orange led blinks. I don't remember doing it before.
If i try to start the phone with the charger plugged in it wont start, but if I remove the charger it starts normally. When the phone is on it also charges normally. I read somewhere that it might have to do with CWM. My CWM version is 5.8.0.9 and i installed it using Android SDK.
My HBOOT is like this:

Can anybody help pls?
As far as I know this is normal. Phone should turn on whilst charging though, first make sure your phone has more than 40% charge, then switch off, plug it into charger then wait for the orange led then press power button. Wait for 30 secs then if it hasnt turned on thats not normal. Having said that, I have never used virtuous inquicision so it could be normal behaviour for the kernel included in that ROM
Well I have tried what you said and it doesn't work. It's not that i don't have enough battery, I have about 70%. I noticed that the orange light flashes while the phone is off. This is supposed to happen when there isn't enough battery. My phone refuses to start unless I remove the charger. Virtuous inquisition say they use stock kernel.

Does this happen with any other ROM's or is it just the VI one?
Well I had before a stock rom and no problems. I think it's this rom's fault. Can you give me any suggestions? I am afraid that if my battery dies I wont be able to charge the phone.

What I meant was has this happened on any other custom ROM's. but by the sound of it you havent tried any so my suggestion would be to try a different one (take a backup of VI using recovery so you can easily restore your current ROM) and see if the issue still persists.
As to the charging issue, I very much doubt that will happen, only 2 things that I know of will stop a phone from charging:
1. Bricked phone - yours definitly isnt so no need to worry there.
2. Faulty charge - by the sound of it, yours isnt so again no need to worry
No it's the first custom rom I try. Can you suggest any sensless rom for HTC Sensation with ICS?
Thank you, I hope I'll fix it.

I have a bunch of sarcastic replies to this post which I'm just dying to use, but for the sake of not wanting to cause the moderators any additional work I will keep them to myself (for now):
1. I have already asked him to do this except with a slightly different ROM (smartdroid beserk - which is still sense based but looks and feels like AOSP, like VI ROM)
2. My suggestion didnt help the OP and I'm searching for other methods to hopefully solve this.
Edit2: @hunt007 looking at your post history all your posts seem to advertise the team venom ViperS ROM so I would like to know how much team venom are paying you?
If you have a secondary battery I'd try that, your current one may be getting a bit old. Any issues with random reboots/shutdowns after your battery gets below 30%?

No issues at all. Now I was on vacation and I eventually my battery died one day. so the phone was off and i plugged the charger. I saw the orange light blinking, and i wasn't able to turn the phone on. after a while i unplugged the charger and it turned on the battery had gone 23%, so the phone was in fact charging. so basically the phone charges while it is off, it just doesn't understand it's battery level while off and charging, this is my theory.
Finally I found out what was the issue If anybody else has the same problem the solution is to reflash the CWM.
Maybe I had flashed an older version or a CWM for another phone, idn.

[Q] Sensation in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode

Hello everyone I have a HTC Sensation XE, which mounted Android jelly bean with Rom CM10 Kang Alpha, everything worked perfectly until one day the battery has reached the 2% and the phone is turned off, as there are no longer on, and connecting the power does not turn on no led, I tried to leave it attached a few hours, remove the battery for a while and I also tried it with a charged battery (my friend's) but to no avail.
Connecting it to the PC recognizes it as qhsusb_dload, (but can not find the driver)
I discovered that the qhsusb_dload mode means that the phone is a brick.
Now I wonder: is it possible that my phone is a brick just because the battery is completely discharged? or is it more likely to be a hardware problem?
In your opinion, support HTC notices that are S-OF?
When they call and ask me what I was doing with the phone, what do I tell him?
Thank you all! :good:

its because the battery drained too much (the internal power )
i may be wrong ..but thats my guess
Sometimes if battery drains to zero the battery goes into a deep sleep and this possibly is causing this. I lost battery down to zero once and no charging light or anything came on. I did not try to see what my phone was recognized at so I'm not sure about QHSUB_DLOAD but I do know it had no vital signs not even charging light! What I did was immediately put another battery in my device and it came back to life ! If you do have another battery put it in and see if this works for you. It worked for me! But like I said, I don't know if device was QHSUB_DLOAD or not because I did not test it. All I know is it had no charging light or anything! It's sure worth a try ! I wish you the best and hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.

Hello and thank you for your reply, I already tried with another identical battery and charging, but unfortunately to no avail, now I'm trying to let it charge without battery for about ten hours, hopefully good!
I doubt if its a brick, What I think is that HTC put some code into the kernel and other things that means if the phone has run completely flat then it wont boot up until at least 40% charged - This is what has happened to me and lots of others

Very strange. What were you doing before the battery died? This could be an important factor in what is
Happening. Were you flashing anything ? Or changing anything ? Were you in the middle of anything? Very strange it would do this from just the battery draining ? I've heard of this happening to others also when battery drains to zero. It kind of makes me afraid of draining my battery to zero. I do wonder what exactly causes this. You say you tried a new battery and the charging advice given in posts and still no joy.

I also can not understand what happened.
Before the phone is turned off, I was playing a game. I was not fleshad it, touching it with sensitive data.
I flashed a Rom for weeks and everything worked without any problem.
I have NEVER done any overclocking the system.
The only thing I think is that it is a hardware problem and the battery was just a coincidence.
I think I'll try with the assistance hoping to be adjusted with the warranty.
I attach the phone to a sheet where I describe what happened, what do you think I can write to you to be as convincing as possible and do not put a check in the bottom of the story?
Thank you very much! :good:
Have you tried using the sensation unbricking project? They deal with phones stuck in download mode from wrong s-0n. You may have luck there with that tool.

I tried this solution but when I run the script to find the phone (. / Brickdetect.sh) misses the phone and I can not go on.
Just tell the warentee people that the phone just simply died. I wouldn't go into the part about it being bricked if I were you. Then they can say you somehow caused it. Actually the less you say the better! Don't tell them its rooted, don't tell them its bricked just play ignorant and say it died and won't charge. They will replace it then. When they ask questions play as ignorant as possible ! This will work in your favor. If you go into the part about it being bricked it will raise a red flag up and likely they will blame you. Simply say it died.. ..it won't charge. .....that's it. I don't think you will have any trouble that way. And surely it will be replaced ! No worries friend. But between us how the hell does a dead battery brick a phone? Its bizarre. Now I'm going to make sure and never run my battery to zero again! It makes me worried. So strange don't you think ? Oh well I know they will replace it and all will be good. Please keep us posted on what happens OK. Best wishes to you and don't worry they should replace it without any problem.

That usb mode is for RIFF box resurection. Mode in witch u can flash bootloader, it must be done with riff jtag box! Trust me, i know what i'm talking about... For some reason, bootloader is corrupted. You can aks that in any mobile service shop that have riff.
It's a very simple to flash it again, after that you can flash stock or custom rom. After that everything will be fine again!
Sorry for my eng...

Hello im new here.. but the exact same thing happened to me...I just bought an HTC sensation 4G and was gonna use it but when I put my sim card in and turned it on, it booted up to T-Mobile and then shut off. Now it ddoesn't even boot up at all no led nothing .... when I connected it to PC it said the QHSUSB_DLOAD. Should I try doing the HTC unbricking method? Btw the phone isn't rooted and has s-on since I just got it

Thanks a lot of good advice.
I will keep you updated on the matter, I'm going to deliver assistance in the phone.
I also can not understand what happened, I flashed a dozen times without any problems and always with caution, and now I'm a brick phone just because the charge is arrived at 1%

The phone when the battery is exhausted never gave any sign of life, it is a real damn brick.

Also your story is strange.
If you have just bought and the guarantee I would refer back immediately demanding immediate replacement.
If not you can try with the unbricking project. With me it was not successful!
no i mean now that you i assume have charged the battery does it vibrate or is it totally dead?

Yes, this bothers me also. And its not the first time I've heard of this happening. I read somewhere that some batteries when brought down to zero or one percent have a deep sleep trigger that most chargers can't bring the battery out of and I'm wondering if that happened and effected the device somehow? Somehow bricking it? This is just a thought, I don't know for sure but it's all I can think of that could have possibly happened. Just guessing here but it's possible ? Perhaps? I can't imagine what else could have happened?? I now will try to never bring my battery down to zero. Just in case....it could be completely unrelated but it seems suspicious. Also having heard this happening before makes me wonder?? I do Hope you get your replacement soon and all goes well for you! Please do keep us posted on what happens and good luck!!

Battery stats gone wild?

OK, so trying my very best to be a good noob, I spent the last two days scouring threads and posts to see if anyone had my problem before. No dice, so here I go. If I have this in the wrong section.... Shoot me. just flashed to a new rom. ICS from team blackout. Love it a ton. Seriously had to tweak the processor a bit, but it runs smoothly now. The problem? The battery stats are insane no matter what I do. My extended life battery is toast, I accept that, so I switched back to the stock battery which is now lasting longer than the ext did. But here's the problem. Run phone down to any power level. 15% or 1% doesn't matter if you kill it. Plug it in to charge. Charge till it gets round about 34% and unplug. All of a sudden, I have anywhere from 80% to 99% battery life. But it runs through that in almost no time. Then it will get down to about 28% and spike to 43% without ever seeing a charger! What gives? I would like some dependable stats. Please, let me know what kind of info you might need to get me going. I'm running an HTC Inspire 4G with the latest release of team blackouts ics rom.

Is your recovery updated?

Where would I look for that info? Are you talking about the clockwork recovery? I have whatever version is the latest for Advanced Ace Hack Kit.... which is currently on my Linux partition. I believe the last update for the root program was in November 2012. But at any rate, I'll take any pointers on looking for the info and updating it if necessary.

First, give 4ext recovery a shot (at least, I've personally had issues with CWM recently). Get the free app from their website. If you like it buy the app from the Play Store. It will install the most up-to-date 4ext recovery.
Second, redownload the ROM (just to make sure the download is valid) and reflash it from the updated 4ext.
Third, sometimes batteries just get old; if the problem persists try buying a new one. They're not too expensive.
Ok, I'll give this all a shot and get back to you. One question though: the rom is from Team Blackout's link, so when you say valid, what does that mean? And should I do a full wipe of my phone? Also, I seem to be getting a full day out of my stock battery suddenly. (Which wasn't happening with the stock rom) The only quirk is that jump in % when I unplug it before it charges. It discharged like a normal battery today, though. At any rate, I'll go get that stuff you mentioned.

There's several ways you can make sure that the file didn't get corrupted during the download. Re downloading, md5, and opening the zip and seeing if there are folders. You could use any of those.
Please post in the correct section

Ah I see. Thanks for moving me where I need to be. As for the stats, had a very busy week and never has the chance to do any of the checks you recommend. But in the last couple days it's seems the problem fixed itself. Getting more life out of my battery and the stats don't Spike anymore if I have to unplug the phone before it's finished charging. So all in all I'm a happy camper again. Still need to buy a bigger battery to get some serious life, but I can make it with 12 hours. Good to know what steps to take if I run into any other problems, though.

You could buy the powerskin for the inspire. I think they are still blowing them out for $0.01.(yes one penny, not a typo) I use one and it is great. It's a case with a battery built in. The case battery has more juice than what can fit into phone so it lasts all day with heavy use no problem. You just push a button when your phone is almost dead and it charges it back to full with energy left over.
