[q] help!!! Accidentally try to restore custom rom while battery was low!!!! - General Questions and Answers

Can Anyone Help Me...Yesterday I Accidentally Try to Restore A Custom Rom On My DINC 2 ,While The Battery Was Low...The Custom Rom I Was Trying To Restore Was ArticICSed RC1.Everysince Then I Can't get a Charge. Plus On Top Of That..I Powered Down To Recovery Mode( CWR) ..and I Did A full wipe/cache/dalvick/bat stats. after that i rebooted back up and it flashed my splash screen..then the custom boot animation...then it went to htc logo screen...then to the set up screen...but i didnt set up...i booted back down..now im getting nothing but the custom rom animation screen....and then it goes black screen while the orange noticication light is blinking...when you plug in the usb cable to charge the led light is stable. i cant get any charge what so ever...i can boot down...i can boot to cwr..i can boot to hboot and all of that. i can reboot...but after i pass the splash screen and get to custom animation screen it just hangs and the screen goes black. should i buy another battery to jump start it and flash another rom? or buy another usb/charger cable to see if that's the problem? i dont know anymore. i had the phone on charge all night...still red light indicator...what can i do?

Have you tried completely wiping it again since you stopped the process mid-stream the first time ?
From CWM recovery:
1) Wipe data/factory reset
2) Go into Mounts and Storage :
Format/System
Format/Cache
Format/Data
Under Advanced wipe the others in Advanced Dalvik/battery for s***s and giggles. Fix Permissions
Reboot.
I feel for ya dude, hope you can get it up and running.

Help!!!! Accidentally Try To Restore Custom Rom While Battery Was Low!!!
I appreciate The Info That You Submitted. Right Now At This Moment I Can't Boot Up...Because The Battery To My DINC 2 Is Completely DEAD!!!! My DINC 2 Won't Charge...I've Tried.. Nothing. I've Been Everywhere Even Verizon Retailers To See They Have A Battery In Stock so I Could Purchase To See If I Could Get Back Running Again to See If I Did Any Major Or Minor Damage..I Hope And Pray I Didnt.
Im Thinking Why I Cant get Any Charge..Is Maybe I'm Stuck Between CWR ..I've read somewhere In This Forum if That's The Case...My Phone Is Not Gonna Charge anyway..So In The Mean Time I'm Down And Out Until I Purchase a Battery For The DINC 2..Ive Seen One On Ebay with The Dock Wall Charger with It...So Im Gonna Purchase It 2morrow ....If Anybody else have any ideas ..feel free to share..im Very gracious and Humble for every and any info u can give me...again ..i say Thank You!! God Bless...

Afaik if the battery won't charge, then inserting a fully charged battery won't help either.
You might try to connect it to Knoppix-System and flash it from there, (Sry, but I don't know how exactly to do this with DINC2) but you will probably have to send it to where you got it from and pray for fair repairing costs.

bummer

Incorrect. The phone is not bricked. The OP has stated he is able to get to hboot, and recovery. The OP's best bet is to either get an external charger, or borrow someone else's FULLY charged battery, and reboot into CWM. Once there, wipe data/factory reset, and your cache partition. Once that is done reflash the ROM and let it finish this time. After this is done, and you've gone through the setup, perform a NANDROID backup using CWM.

:good:

Right, had a similar problem with my sensation;
The battery died during flash, many android devices will not charge their battery until the phone is almost fully booted. As I had no Rom I could not boot with the 10 seconds battery charge I get before boot animation loads. I don't think it charged in HBoot or CWM recovery at the time, new recoveries allow charging. Using another device to charge your battery or wall charger is your only hope (except for new battery), luckily for me my girlfriend let me use her Evo 3D to charge my battery. Unfortunatly she won't let me root it
Any way, try the points I stated

HTC Sensations discharge while hot, by sending unused power to a plug it doesn't have to circulate and end up back in the battery, therefor cooling the circuits.
If I helped hit the thanks

So I plugged in my charger to my DINC 2 while it was on...and i've noticed that the battery was charging,,,but not charging increasingly but decreasing by increments. So I noticed This and i unplug The Charger from my Phone and I Powered down (off). I plugged the charger back to my phone...so i started to charge the phone while it was off. so about 30 minutes went by..i unplugged the charger from my phone, powered back up....i looked at the battery icon...and the battery life went from 61% to 50%...Is This Normal... Now I'm Back to square one...My Battery (NEW) is DEAD AGAIN....I Try To Charge It...All I'm Getting Is Orange Blinks Off And On....Can Someone Tell Me What's Going On,,,,Is Their a Fix For This...If Not...I might Have to Unroot and try to get me another Phone..I Dont Want To Do It...Right now I See No Hope...I've just Ordered 2 more 1500Mah Li-ion Batteries and a External Charger from ebay..It ll b Here Sometime This week...Can Someone Help or have any suggestions...Im Open to any responses...Thank You!!!

Stuck on LG logo

Hi I just rebooted my phone and its stuck on the LG logo anyone got any ideas how to sort it.
Try going into recovery and doing a full wipe
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Done it but its still stuck on the lg logo.

Did you do anything for it to get stuck on the logo..root it..etc
Same problem here...Can someone please ADB PULL /system/bin/sh from a rooted phone and upload here please.I cannot ADB shell my phone after changing some system files on it.It's giving "exec /system/bin/sh Permission Denied (13) error.
Won't turn on now very disappointed wiht this phone now, all the messing I did with the Galaxy S2 and never a hitch and this just goes like this how pathetic.
I rooted the phone 5 days ago and all has been fine never been a problem, I can't even remember what app I had installed now it was something off the market, I rebooted the phone as it went slow and this is the outcome.
This has put me off this phone if I manage to get it replaced it will be sold on.
yep i had same problem twice, was always when I'd filled up internal memory to almost full and tried to uninstall something it would keep saying uninstalling and just hang there so I had to reboot and it would hang on LG. But did three button combo reboot and wiped the phone through that and it rebooted..
I can't seem to get the 3 button wipe to work, I can get in a screen via power and volume down which has factory data reset/wipe etc.
Also the battery is really low now on the last bar, when I plug it in usb for example it starts the phone and stops on the battery screen with it flashing on and off in the red, even if I plug the mains in it doesn't seem to charge.
I have countless times installed the usb drivers again and keep getting LGE Virtual Modem ready to use, but OMAP4430 no driver found.
that was when I had original recovery and not clockwork mod, there was a format partition and recover package option or something along those lines..so maybe doesn't work now with clockwork mod. All I know is I'm not going to fill internal memory up too full and try and uninstall anything as that's when it broke twice for me. Did you backup your phone with clockwork mod?

Unfortunately not didn't use clockwork mod, I don't even think its charging the battery as it just flashes on the last red bar, I even left it in the charger all night.
I fail to believe this sort of thing can just happen like that, its not even like Samsung where you can pretty much recover anything when this happens seems very limited this phone.
Can't use the updater as it says Disconnected Please connect your phone
Edit> It is charging it must have been very very low as its taken ages just to get one green bar.
this may not work on the o3d but it works on the old droids/milestone.
if you remove the battery and plug it into the wall then insert the battery for a second and remove it again immediately the phone should boot on just mains power.
Just not having anything done the factory reset thing but its the same all the time does the first lg boot then you see the animated part then it just hangs on the lg screen, you get the small vibration it does but just doesn't boot after that.
punctuationmakesthingsaloteasiertounderstandman.
Punctuation is the last thing on my mind , I have a £450 phone that is knackered and hope they will take it back and replace it.
I have spent a day looking around the internet and have come up with nothing and keeping my eye on this forum, forgive me for not caring about what I am writing.
Actually something similiar happened to me.. my phones battery was totally drained and I didn't know. So just try to let it charge fully if you haven't already.

I'm in Burton on Trent, if you want to pop over and try my battery in your phone I'd be happy to let you try that.
Think if you've not messed with it you may as well try and get a new phone/refund.

Thanks for the offer but I have charged the battery but its the same thing, it hangs on the LG logo and nothing happens.
I phoned up LG and they say it sounds like a software failure so I have sent it back to the place I go it, just have to wait for a replacement.

[Q] PHONE is Dead, Not charging at ALL, No custom rom installed

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?

[Q] Damaged Captivate - Any help would be appreciated.

I've searched the forums and have not seen anything quite like my problem, so if I missed an important thread, I'm sorry.
Over the weekend, I plugged my Captivate (using a stock battery) into the official Samsung charger and overnight my roommate semi-dislodged the charger. When I woke up and grabbed my phone it only registered a few hours of charging yet still had almost full battery. Upon rebooting the phone, I was sent into a bootloop. Not at the ROM, not at the Kernel, not even at the bootloader. It goes so far as to show the white loading ring at the center of the screen which never moves. At one point, a thin pink line appears halfway through the screen as it shuts down and reboots, never making it any farther. If I plug the phone in, it will boot normally though it does not accurately report battery levels or charging.
Other oddities: after 5 minutes of a phone call, the phone hard crashes. Not FC's, but just goes black. Upon a reboot, I get stuck into the same boot loop. If I plug the phone into the wall charger without a battery, it will go into the turned-off charging animation and show a 100% charged battery. Furthermore, my other roommate has a brand new i9000 so I tried that battery (again, stock Samsung) and it continues in the same bootloop. I have tried flashing other ROMS and going back to stock, but that does not seem to help.
Other info: I was running OneCosmic's ICS 3.1 with no overclock and light undervolting at the time. It was perfectly stable for the few days until the charger dislodged. I am also out of warranty and am not eligible for a hardware upgrade so repairing my Captivate would be ideal. I also have a usb jig if that is of any use to this scenario.
Has anyone experienced anything remotely like this? If not, what debugging steps should I attempt?
What I would suggest is using one of the ODIN one clicks and flash back to stock
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
I've flashed back to Rogers 2.2 stock. Doesn't help. It actually made it harder for me to get the phone started though I have yet to make a phone call from it.
Have you had the phone for less than a year? if so call at&t(or rogers) and they'll replace it for you.
then try factory reset
then try using odin or rom manager to flash back to stock
When all else fails, flash to cm7. that will completely wipe everything and start from scratch.
if that STILL dost work.... than you can be sure that its a hardware problem :/ theres nothing you can do except replace and sell for for parts.. sorry
You may want to try clearing the battery stats. Something in there may be telling the phone that the battery is completely dead and it shuts the phone down in the middle of the boot. Just a guess, though.
It sounds to me like the phone might have gotten confused aobut how much battery life it actually has. You might also try getting it loaded up and then letting it drain the battery completely down. Reset the stats and then fully recharge the phone.

I have exactly the same problem, I did the reset of the battery stats and still not working.
Did you solve the problem?
thanks

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, however, no amount of battery calibration could get it to work. Furthermore, a bad flash has made the situation even worse. Now Im bootlooping even when plugged in and when unplugged my jig is of no help. I have declared my Captivate dead.
Best of luck toominds, if you get it to work, let me know. I'd love to have a spare phone sitting around.

[Q] Sensation will not charge and boots straight to recovery

Hey Guys,
I got my phone back from HTC repair and have flashed the newest firmware, S-OFF and CM9 using CWM 6 onto my device. I have done this procedure about 100 times on many different devices so I know the process off by heart now. Unfortunately the phone battery drained to 0% and now when I plug in the phone to charge, the red light comes on as if charging for about 10 seconds then goes off and CWM 6 appears. I can't boot into the bootloader/fastboot by pressing the Vol Down + Power or by restarting the system through the CWM. Everytime I reboot the phone CWM appears immediately.
Is it bricked? The phone just won't charge when CWM is up on the screen.
I have tried using adb to reboot to bootloader and running:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
The bootloader SOMETIMES appears, otherwise it just reboots into CWM.
Has anyone else had this issue? And if so what steps should I take?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Take out the sim card and the sd card.
Leave the phone on charge for several hours.
Or, take out the battery and use a stand alone charger for several hours.

Hey
Thanks for the advice however even on a standalone charger it still has the same symptoms.
I currently have it without Sim and SD Card but CWM comes up no matter what so it isn't really charging. After a while though, the phone turns off but the light isn't on (as to indicate it is charging). Very frustrating.
Will report back after several hours.

Hey thanks,
Unfortunately when I plug it in, it switches on automatically and immediately goes to CWM. This happens on standalone charger, and usb charger. There is no 'Power Down' option in CWM only reboot. so its not a case of me leaving it off. Don't touch the power button
Cheers
Edit: so the phone has been on charge all day and still the same, won't switch on unless it is plugged in. Looks like o2 have screwed up while repairing it. Have to send it back
I once had a situation where my device would not boot at all, charge light would not come on. I switched out the battery to a different one and device booted As well as charged. I know your situation is different but it might not hurt to just try. Before you send it back out . It couldn't hurt to try....however I have a feeling your issue is more complicated than mine but it just might help. If no joy, then no harm done but do give it a shot before you return it. It could make a difference! It sure won't hurt to try! Best wishes to you! Hopefully you get this issue solved soon . It's strange but I've heard of several stories of phone not booting or charging when battery is ran to zero. Kind of makes me Afraid to run to zero in fear it won't boot again. I do wonder what causes this? I just try and never run mine to zero again! But do give another battery a try. It can't hurt to try. Good luck.

Alright this is now solved. Got the new battery popped it in. Formatted /system, performed factory reset/wipe data (in CWM), cleared cache, Dalvik and battery statistics then re-flashed CM9 then rebooted... Working perfectly! Clearly a battery issue, O2 must have fried the old one while repairing my phone.
Thank you so much for your help, and now I have a much better battery for my phone... so I thank you for that too!
Your very welcome ! It happened to me too so I figured it would also work for you. It really scared me though because my device wouldn't even show a charge light! I'm so happy the new battery also worked for you ! Very happy to have helped!

Bricked My GS3

I used this method to root, flash CWM Recovery, and unlocked the bootloader.

Everything went well. I then flashed "The Executioner 2" Rom. Again, everything was fine I was running the Rom for about 2/3 hours. All of a sudden, I was texting and boom, my phone turns to a black screen. Keep in mind at this time my phone is at about 18% battery when it happened. I managed to boot into CWM. I was wiping everything like I would if I was gonna flash a rom + go to restore back up. I factory/data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, BOOM black screen again. Couldn't boot up normally. Tried to get into CWM, no go, just vibrating and black screen. Tried getting into download mode, no go just vibrating with black screen. Now my phone ain't even charging if I have the USB in. It seems completely dead. Any ideas or do I have to tell Verizon I lost my phone?
It is out of battery. Let the thing charge.

I have my phone sitting and the charger in. There's no red LED or any battery icon to show that it's charging. You know how normally when you turn your phone off, there's still something that indicates you that the phone is charging when you have it plugged in. In my case, it's just a black screen. It's like the phone is dead?
this happened to me once, it was the battery dead and no led when plugged in or anything. Let it sit on the charger for like 30 mins then unplug it and try to boot it.

Should I try to boot up into custom recovery or download/odin mode? If it's possible I want to fix the brick and just flash my phone back to stock for now. The last thing I want is to have a bricked device. I saved up, sold my Razr Maxx, and paid full price off contract for this phone. Yep, all that down the drain if my phone is bricked. I really appreciate the replies guys, it makes me feel better whether my phone can be saved or not.
I can't remember if it's that rom or not, I look at so many threads but there have been a few reports of major battery drops. Search the thread.

This had also happened to me before, buy after charging it still wouldn't boot normally.
I had to boot into recovery and then select reboot device, hasn't happened since.
If I helped you in some way.... pass on the favor and help the next person!

My phone won't boot up at all!! Can't boot into recovery, can't boot into download/odin mode either. And now there's no vibration. It seems dead. I didn't do anything wrong, the Rom was running fine. All of a sudden black screen and it started being stupid the way I said in the OP.

Well I would try to get my hands on another battery and see if it will work then. If not and it really just died take it to Verizon and tell them you were sending a text and it shut off. That sound like hardware failure to me.

You wiping it while it ran out of juice for the 2nd time probably didn't help.

I know. At that time I didn't think of the battery, I was just in a panic to get out of the problem.
I think I got somebody to barrow me their GS3 battery tomorrow. IF, the phone lets me boot into anything, what should I do? I don't know which method I should use for fixing the soft brick because there's more than one? I just want to fix it and odin back to complete stock unrooted again.
Reflash your ROM and once it boots up go back to factory rom

Happened to me too..Pretty sure its the battery. When mine shut off, I tried different chargers and nothing.. I tried a combo of things like pulling battery while charging and just leaving the battery out for a couple minutes and then plugging it in till you get a red charging light. When it lights up , let it charge and then restore. Good luck..

I am hoping that it's just the battery being dead and not a hard brick on my phone. I don't understand what happened that made my device do this in the first place? Everything seemed fine. No hiccups when rooting, flashing, ect. I ran the rom for a good few hours. Out of no where BAM, black screen while I was texting?

It misjudged the battery life (ie the percentage was wrong). Then it realized what was happening then shut off the device to protect the battery.

Your phone isn't bricked....your battery is dead.
Let it charge with a WALL charger for at least 30-60 mins. Walk away. Come back, HOLD just the power button until it boots. Let go. Enjoy your "unbricked" device. Why would you want to go into Odin or CWM without even seeing if it boots? A hard brick wouldn't do anything. Just see what happens. If it bootloops or has constant system.ui closes you'll know it. Then go into recovery and either:
1) rewipe/reflash ROM
2) restore functional backup
Please change the title of this thread. You didn't brick. Your battery died. Lol. TW ROMs on this phone have been known to die with 18-23% on the battery gauge. 23 is my number It's happened to a few of us.

As I let my phone sit with the charger in while I went to sleep, twisting and turning thinking F*****ck lol. A lot of you guys were right. It WAS my battery. I am now able to boot up into recovery
