[Q] Can't reboot without battery pull

Hi,
I'm running s-off, cwm 4.0.1.4 (blue) and Mike's Android Revolution 1.5.
Having a strange problem where I can't reboot or shut the phone down without being unable to turn it back on using the volume button. The only way I can restart it is to pull the battery, reinsert and press the power.
I've read about this happening when the battery depletes and is empty, but never with the battery being full.
I've tried all combinations of shutdowns/reboots with fastboot on and off, but still the same result every time.
Is this a CWM issue?

Yes it is a cwm issue that no one seem to want to get to the bottom of. Try using the.5 version of cwm. I had the same problem and.5 fixed it.

Thanks for the reply.
From everything I've read, 4.0.1.5 has serious issues with not being able to charge once the battery depletes. The sticky on the guide thread says to use 4.0.1.4 instead.

either one or the other will be the one for your phone.
.5 was the one for me and likely will be the one for you too. Test it out by turning off your phone with a healthy battery and see if it charges.

Best Android Rom HTC HD2 ?
Hey,
I`m searching for the newest and best Android Rom HTC HD2 ?
THX

There have been few threads regarding this. The answer is also in the android rev thread. I tried both cwm .4 and .5. Didnt fix the problem. So I flashed a different kernel and it fixed the problem, but now it lags. So I'm just waiting for Mike to make 1.1.8. I would suggest going back to 1.1.5.

any luck on this??? i jacked mine up trying to flash a new firmware and am stuck in the same boat with my sensation being completely unresponsive.

You could factory reset it:
From the manual:
If you can’t turn HTC Sensation 4G on or access settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on HTC Sensation 4G.
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button."

It was stated that he can't access the bootloader, which is what is required for the "FACTORY RESET"...
There are a number of people reporting this issue. I've even experienced the issue after the device powered down due to a drained battery. Luckily I have a stand alone charger. I put the battery on the charger for about 15 minutes, put it back in the device and it was able to boot, charge, connect usb etc...
I tried for 20 minutes to get any response from the device before trying the charger.

No charging LED isn't a good sign.

There seem to be more and more people reporting with this problem these last few weeks. IT happened with mine....it was not battery drained cuz it went dead when battery was 100% charged. I've been trying to get input as to whether this is related to ROM or firmware we're flashing....but no one seem to know.
Nothing will work...ADB...battery out...etc...I've sent my phone back to HTC...waiting to see what happens.
There are at least 3-4 different post with the same problem the past few weeks.

Well what i did was that i had a brand new sensation, i got it s-offed, rooted, cwm, superCID. all that done following the guide here on XDA. i wanted to have the new elegancia ICS rom which required the 3.32 firmware with the 4ext recovery. I got the 4ext flashed and then flashed the 3.32 firmware which caused a bootloop. then i panicked and tried to put it back to stock. not realizing that it was prolly bootlooping due the stock rom not being compatible with that firmware (not positive if that caused the bootloop. just a guess) it bricked after trying to put it back to stock. nothing responds. computer doesnt recognize it. new battery doesnt to anything. no charging led. looking back on what i did. I was still able to get into the 4ext recovery when it was bootlooping. If i flashed a compatible rom while it was doing that would it have fixed the issue. can anyone confirm if the bootloop was caused due the the stock TMOUSA rom not being compatible with 3.32? Tmobile is going to send me a brand new one. I'd like that rom but dont wanna repeat the same mistake lol
Thanks

Having similar problem.........only thing my phone just vibrates......the led is red for couple seconds when charger is connected

WEll..if your phone lights up or have some response.maybe you can still do something by connecting to computer. Mine was completely unresponsive...and can't be detected on computer!

Maybe it's an overclock issue? I've read on different threads that there may be a motherboard issue. The sensation is known for overheating. Maybe it's frying the motherboard.
What frequency were you guys running and was your phones randomly shutting down before it became unresponsive?

i think we guyz got the same problem :S its just turned off with a constant beep

Yes you should be fine, just make a backup of stock in case something goes wrong when you flash your first rom

Stuck on "htc one" screen

Hey guys, im a noob and i recently flashed ViperXL on my att HOX. everything was going fine except after i restored data from Titanium backup that i had backed up from previous ROM (AOKP build 4). Titanium said i had to reboot so i did. And now i am stuck on "htc ONE" screen. Is my phone done? please help!

Plug your phone in, use ADB to reboot into recovery, wipe everything and reinstall ViperXL.
Don't restore apps from another ROM like AOKP

Also reminds us all the importance of backing up our data via a Custom Recovery before flashing ROMs

ive stumpled on upon a quite annoying problem..i have an HTC ONE X+ which i unlocked my bootloader on and everything went smooth until i wanted to start recovery via hboot.
it did not start and i tried several times and restarted etcetc, i then tried to flash in another recovery and then tried more and more but nothing..
then i cant remember now exaclty how i did it, but i have several RUU, kernel, recovery, boot and roms n such items downloaded
so i tried to feed in another flash or rom or whatever its called to get the recovery funtion to work (i am not very pro at this) and then when i wanted to start my phone normally it all of a sudden wont boot properly.
it freezes on the bootscreen.. i can turn off and go in to bootloader but i cant do ANYTHING from there, i cant do a factory reset (wich i also tried when the recovery did not want to work) i cant do **** there. tried to lock and unlock bootloader.. feels like im out of options..
the only thing i can do now is command the phone via cmd and the toolkit i use from here "Hasoon2000s htc one x AIO kit"
using this guide on this thread mostly..
ive tried so many things now, searched this and other forums since friday and i still can not get anywhere... starting to think this is what the definition of a bricked unit is??
if you need any more info please just ask.. i bought the phone a week ago so kinda sucks if it would be useless for me right away haha..
i would appreciate som help and tips... please
Sincerely Jeff

[Q] Sensation wont boot or charge

Hello
I have an s-off htc sensation with cm10 and recovery etc its been running great for ages with this setup.
The phone completely ran out of battery and shut down. I left it on charge overnight and in the morning it would not switch on.
I have read a LOT of threads on here and elsewhere about this issue and have tried the fixes you guys have suggested for similer issues (usb charging, new battery, battery pulls)
I dont think that the usb debugging mode was enabled on my phone so i cant use the commands to restart it etc
When charging, the orange light blinks for about 5 seconds, then is on constantly until the phone boots all on its own to the htc logo screen, then goes black with no orange light. (it did this with the old dead battery and the new one)
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Such a great problem you have :crying: well, you can try re-flashing the ROM again. If it is not working maybe it is the ROM weakness. AOKP (your ROM series) is more unstable than AOSP ROM (like Android Revolution HD, ViperS, JB MIUI, and other).
The most possible reason for your problem is your ROM, so if re-flashing the rom does not help you, you can try flash a AOSP ROM. May the force be with you

Very strange that a new battery didn't fix this... same thing happened to me but mine died while charging some how and I didn't even have a charging light! However, in my case a brand new battery fixed my issue instantly. You can try a new rom if you can somehow flash it and see if it helps.. one question, was the other battery you tired new? Just curious? Hope you can get this issue resolved. If the battery you tired wasn't new in last effort if nothing else works, try a new battery. Like I said, it worked for me.. I wish I could be of more help. Best of luck and keep us informed. I've read of this happening when battery is ran out before and I wish I knew what causes this.. very strange. Good luck

Yup the battery was brand new off amazon....
Any ideas of how I can flash a rom without being able to boot into recovery?

Some one else might know this answer but have you tried, pulling battery, putting battery back in, immediately press power and volume down and hold it... recovery should pop up after that. Then go to wipe and wipe data factory reset, then install rom, or you can go to backup restore and restore your nandroid back up. Try to get into recovery this way. Hope it helps let me know. Best wishes. If you did try, couldn't hurt to try again keep hold of volume down and power and see if recovery will boot. If not you might be able to do it though computer but I can't help with that. Maybe someone else can help with fast boot commands on the computer. But it would hurt to try to pull battery again. And give it a go. Good luck

i assume it stays on at least after booting
if yes then connect it to pc
go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files and open a command window there
then do
adb
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
see if it works

No the phone screen just goes black after the HTC screen and sometimes randomly flashes grey!? So the computer cannot detect it when connected by usb .
Really need to get to recovery it seems

This happened to me the other day, I have a charger that came with the battery off amazon and I gave it a full charge on that. After I put it in fully charged my phone was fine. I was nearly fully through flashing when this happened. I got back to bootloader and flashed 4ext recover and flashed my rom.

[Q] Hard bricked my One S - Please help!

So today I wanted to install Cyanogenmod on my HTC one S.
I followed a guide (the usual procedure: unlock bootloader, root, flash recovery. i can't post links due to being new so i can't post it). Everything when fine until I flashed the recovery (CWM 5.8). As soon as this was done my phone went off and couldn't be switched on again.
When I press the power button for 20+ seconds nothing at all happens.
When I hold the Vol- button and the power key the LED comes on (as it is charging right now) and disappears after 5 seconds.
I also had rather low battery (~35%) when unlocking bootloader and rooting, but flashing the recovery went fine. It completed as far as I know.
Please help me. Thanks in advance! I searched dozens of threads but none could resolve my problem.

I am not sure whether it charges or not to be honest, the LED doesn't light up, but sometimes it didn't when I charged it in the past.
