htc chacha weird situation - HTC ChaCha

s-off
my htc haven't image on display
it vibrates after 12-15 seconds and sound of quietly brilliant about 3-4 minutes, sometimes not
in device manager the phone is seen as HTC Android Phone USB Device, under Disk Drives
is creeping me out, i don't know what it must be done

Bootloader
Have you tried booting into bootloader?
If so, boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup, then "wipe data/factory reset" and try booting it.
might restore the data later under advanced restore...
Hope this helps you out
:fingers-crossed:

thank you for answer
that was the first thing done
now i observed much weird situations
try to put into boot -> vol down+power ; does not start into boot
just vibrates and presume starts normaly
when it is pluged into computer or charger red led show very very low light, visible only in dark
plugin out led not off, same low light
how can i roll back in stock rom in this situation? is another way to plug into computer to flash?
is seen when fully start only under disk drives like htc android phone usb device
and it shocked me, when i put a sim in it, after starts (about 5-6-7 minutes) i can make a call from other phone to it
the screen is ok, i tried on another phone

you could try using a app to boot into recovery, like rom manager

Wait, wait, wait.. Can you see anything on your display? Does it even power on? If not, I'd say take it to a service.
*You should at least see the bootloader. That's not ROM related.

1. Do a "Factory data reset" through Settings>SD and phone storage>Factory data reset
2. power off
3. remove battery
4. reinsert battery
5. THEN vol down+power to get to recovery
6. In CWM go to "advanced"
7. wipe battery stats
8. wipe davlik cache
9. back to main cwm menu
10. wipe cache partition
11. wipe data/ factory reset
12. should be done, but you could repeat 6-10 to be safe.

both Alex just read the replays my friends
i cannot say same word over and over again
could be a short on motherboard? said that becaouse of the red led whitch just stay barely visible just after push power and stay like that all over the time
could be a battery issue?
or just be the display however?
i can receive call after it's starts completely, after 7 to 10 minutes, but i cannot see anything on screen

Drop it to the service.. Why wait so much? If you can't see anything on your display, not even the bootloader, or even the display powering on..

For a start don't panic (just yet)

Do you have a safe Nandroid Backup that you can restore to?
You obviously have a custom RECOVERY (which one?)
Do you know which eMMC card you have?
Options Left
[1]
Pull Battery (which is risky - if you do - then pull evenly and quickly and do not re-insert for over 10 seconds)
Assuming that you have a Nandroid Backup then:
[2]
Let battery completely run out until phone shuts down on it's own.
plug into power supply for a hour or so (until battery full (green light)
Restart and force entry to bootloader (volume down + power)
Restore safe point backup from RECOVERY
Reboot
If you have no backup
[3]
Download another (safe) Custom ROM and place on SD card
Let battery completely run out until phone shuts down on it's own.
plug into power supply for a hour or so (until battery full (green light)
Restart and force entry to bootloader (volume down + power)
Ensure- that you manually WIPE SYSTEM, DATA, CACHE, , DALVIK CACHE, SYSTEM
flash new ROM
Reboot
If you don't know which eMMC chip that you have, then once you device is booted you should run the following commands from you PC to find out (you don't want these results, which is what I have) as this is run that fails:
Code:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Support Tools>adb shell
# cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name
cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name
[B][COLOR="Red"]M4G2DE[/COLOR][/B]
#
I'll be online this morning, so will be able to assist......
- Did you activate "USB debugging" mode in the menu Settings-Applications-Development?
If NOT so you can not connect by the ADB command.
- Did you press and hold down VOL UP and VOL DOWN first, and then press Power button?
If none of the above method is working, the only option for you is pulling the battery out. Remember to not re-insert so quickly.
Thanks, My chip M4G2DE or like that Coz forgot. I am sure it is the faulty one. Anyway problem its solved, thanks again

How did you solve it? Reboot by ADB? by Vol up/Vol down/Power combination or pulling out the battery?
Yes, how did you solve it? So that people will know what to do when they're in this situation. Thanks!
Probably adb reboot recovery command thru terminal.

First of all I think my Emmc may be good one or I'm lucky for that being labeled as M4G2DE. I had already nandroid backup in my sd card.
A) I waited and waited till battery was completely zero.
B) after phone turned off, waited for 2 minute.
c) connected phone to the charger and charged for 1 hour
d) opened recovery by pressing vol down first, then pressed power and released power and after getting hboot screen, released vol down.
e) went to clockwork mod and restored nandroid.
You downloaded the wrong Rom, according to your post in the other thread.
You want a ROM for the DS, not DHD

Tks for your explaining, however I didn't ask for restoring procedure to stock backup.
As you've said in your 1st post, your DS has hang on the HTC screen. How did you do to bypass this issue and recharge your phone? Wait until the battery completely discharged itself?

Simple - go to this page and download this one - BinDroid DS 2.3.5 GB V1.0.
But there's an imminent update, so prob better to wait.

This is not a good idea, because the risk is the same as you pull out the battery. And this will also affect the battery lifetime (because of completely discharge).

[Q] Phone in not responding - led is on.

Hi, I've got a little sceary problem with my desire s.
I installed reaper v 1.2 ROM, configured it, everything was ok. But now phone is not responding. Only black screen. I tried vol up/down and power button configuration - nothing happend. I connected phone to the charger and led turned on, I tred the same configuration - nothing happend. I discconnect phone - led is still on and phone is not responding.
I downloaded latest android sdk tools, latest htc drivers, installed, connected phone to computer, run sdk tool and type adb reboot recovery - error device not found.
When I connect phone to computer it found Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM, I try to install soft automaticly but comp find nothing.
Wha else I can do? I don't want pull battery. I have never done it.

Don't panic brother. I've been in a similar situation many times. Whatever you do... DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY till the phone is switched off!!
Just disconnect the phone from the laptop or wall socket (remove the usb cable from the phone) and leave the phone. Don't sit and stare at it, and don't try to reason it into rebooting. Also, stop pestering God...he doesn't do phones. (I think) Just relax, and go watch T.V. or something.
One out of two things may happen :
1. It may reboot on it's own. Has happened to me... Sometimes it happes in 5 mins, sometimes in 20, and sometimes, never.
2. The battery will eventually run out of charge and your phone will switch off by itself. Now remove the battery, reinsert after 2 mins and boot up into recovery. From here, you can restore your previous nandroid backup.
P.S. If you do not have a nandroid backup, just reflash the ROM after a full format ("format all partitions, except sdcard" option in recovery). Note that if you have unlocked using HTC site, this will not work until you manually flash boot.img (you can find it in the ROM (Reaper_v1.2.zip) file) from fastboot.
Let me know what happens.
Now I' still waiting, without phone touching. Led is ON (orange colour). Phone is disconected (and me too ). Battery level was 13% before this insydent.
When LED will turn off (I don't know when) I'll reinsert battery and let you know what's up.
I hope, I did't bricked it...

Don't worry. I am virtually a 100% sure you have NOT bricked it.
Just don't panic and let the phone switch off first.
BTW, you didn't say if you unlocked your bootloader with HTC Dev site or Revolutionary?
Do you have a Nandroid backup of your previous ROM ?
How new are you to all this (flashing etc)?
Is this the first custom ROM you have flashed on this device?

My phone was s-off by xtc clip (I did't use revolutionary), boot loader was unlocked on HTC Dev site.
I flashed at first CMW recover, than 4EXT Touch recovery and used it.
I tried a lot of roms, virtuous, endymnion, runny. The best for the beast was CM7.1, nightly. I flashed it month ago and updated succefully. Two days ago I decided to try REAPER. I wiped cache and dalvik's, than flashed reaper v 1.1. Today I updated it to 1.2 version (the same way as always) and I had a problem with dialer, so I wiped everything. Format all ex. sd card was done and I flashed reaper 1.2. I confogured it, just I like (set a new gov reaper, freq 118 (I don't remember) low and 1074 high) and thats it. I tried laucher, sms, phone and thats all.

Well in that case, don't worry your phone is safe. Just wait for it to switch off. Then after booting into recovery, just restore the last working ROM backup that you have. Don't flash the Reaper 1.2 that you downloaded till you have confirmed that the md5 checksum matches the one posted by Lowveld.
Hmm. Strange.
Phone turned off - LED was off, so I pulled battery, wait 2-5 minutes (without battery) and tried to turn it on. I saw a black screen. I press vol up/down power buttons, phone vibrated 3 times (quick) and I saw a green LED. I tried turn it on (with vol down button and without it) - nothing. I waited a while then a Led turned off.
I pluged device to the charger - orange led started blinking, so I tried to on phone - nothing. I restarted it (3 buttons) - it vibrated 3 times quickly and the same story from my first post.
Phone is unplugged, orange led is on (not blinking) and no react.
Any ideas??
Can you still boot to recovery?

Well, the blinking signifies inadequate charge for a bootup. Wait till the orange LED stopsa blinking and turns on constantly... then boot into bootloader (Voulme up and Power button - don't let go of the volume button even after releasing the power button) - I don't want you to restart by using three button combo...otherwise you'll be back to the same problem, trying to boot into a broken OS... Just disconnect again and wait for it to switch off.... then reinsert battery, connect to charger, then wait for the LED blinking to stop. Have a little patience! and DON"T RESTART with three button combo. Just boot into bootloader with Voulme up + Power key.
You have to follow these instructions carefully, exactly as i have written. Report back what happens.

I did it exactly like you've written. Waited till phone, switch off, connected it and charged till led stopped blinking, disconnect, and try to boot it into recovery (vol up + power). Phone wibrated 3 times (screen did't react) and the same story. Now waiting for discharging and I'll try again.
Anyway thanks for your help and interest.
What else I can do? If the phone is not responding I can send it to warranty service. Meybe they will honour it... If not...ehss very expensive play.

Well, it that's not workin, Wait till the phone switches off again. Then configure adb, make sure it detects your device (use the command: adb devices) and then type the following at the cmd prompt :
adb reboot recovery
This should take you to recovery.
Ok, what can I say? Youe last thread worked!! I restared device, connect to computer - it was found as usb disk. In sdk tool divece was also found, this time as my ds Just restarted a recovery. First I saw an error in 4ext recovery, but it started with orange letters. I wiped all, formated all, recover old system, restart phone. And it works! Now I flshesd last jorgens CM7 and starting to config my phone. But a heart attack was close... Thanks man

You're welcome brother! And Congratulations!!
I know what you must have gone through till you reclaimed your phone. I remember the first time i was in a situation like yours... had to figure out this discharge the phone, LED blinking etc... thing on my own..., everyone else said battery pull was my only option. But i sitll didn't do it. I had around 60% battery remaining before this happened, so you can only imagine how many sleepless hours i spent waiting for the damn battery to run dry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271360
The important thing is to resist the temptation of pulling battery. Everything can be salvaged if you don't do that, but once you fry your eMMC, there is nothing anyone can do without physically repairing the phone.
May I suggest you edit the topic your OP and add the word [SOLVED] to the title. This will ensure anyone in trouble can easily locate this thread out of the cacophony on xda!

My phone died today, keeps rebooting, but will not turn on, i know how to do a factory reset, but is there any way to get out the pictures before i do that?
The phone is stock, not rooted, phone was trying to connect to wifi when it happened, it turned off, and keeps trying to turn on, but shuts down again, i would very much like to get the photos before i set it back to factory settings in the recovery menu

will your computer detect your phone at all? maybe you can root it then flash a ROM and keep all of your stuff.
1. How could you do a factory reset if the phone wont start up?
2. Can you get it into bootloader mode by holding VolDown?
3. If so, can you enter recovery? (Reason for asking: on custom recoveries like Clockworkmod and I assume TWRP you can use adb from a computer, if this works in stock recovery it should be easy to pull any file from the sdcard partition)
4. Tried holding powerbutton for 10 or 30 seconds ( I forget...) to force reboot?
5. A battery pull might work, search youtube for "directfix htc one s" and youll find a video how to disconnect battery)
You can factory reset through HBOOT menu, if he can get into it.

1. From the bootloader menu.
2. Yes i can get into the bootloadermenu by holding the volume and powerbutton.
3. Can also enter recovery, in the same bootloader screen, but when i open recovery, i get the green icon with the two arrows arround, but after a while it pops up a red triangle, and after this the phone starts to boot again, with no sucess.
4. Tryed this with no sucess, reboot, but will not turn on.
5. Battery pull will not work on this htc.
I dont care if the phone dont turn on, i can send it to the repair shop, but i would very much like to get the pics out of it before set it to factorysettings, or i send itin for rep.
I have seen programs that can get back deleted pics from a hard drives or memory cards, do you guys think this will work if the phone turns on after i do a factory reset
Took a factory reset today, and downloaded a program to my pc to recover lost data from the phone, but it did not find anything But the phone looks ok now

[Q] Probably bricked P3113 - Need Confirmation

So, been running CM10 for a long time on tab. Decided to go back to stock, and downloaded the JB stock rom. Flashed via ODIN. Everything seemed to go OK, except that after the flash the screen went black for ages, and didn't reboot. So I hard powered it off. Probably what did it, but it wasn't going anywhere for about 15 minutes, so figured it was the next step.
Now, I get the battery charging icon. The system goes through the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 white logo, the swirling then glowing Samsung logo, and then loops through that forever.
It wouldn't be such a problem if I could back into ODIN and do another flash, but I can't get into download mode (normally I do it via adb but that isn't working since there is no USB connection at all). Tried all combinations, power/up, power/down etc. It just boot loops as above. I'm pretty sure I bricked it, but just wanted some confirmation.
Been doing this on and off for a long time, and it's the first time I've ever got stuck like this.
Thanks in advance.
Plug USB charger, your device will boot into charge mode. From charge mode you can boot into recovery by keep holding VOLUME UP button and than press POWER button. Clear data and cache in recovery, reboot.

Thanks, but I tried all combinations of Power/Volume UP and Power/Volume DOWN, it just goes through a normal boot cycle until it starts looping.
I guess it's possible I'm not using the right timing. I'm assuming that you hold Volume UP or DOWN and then press and hold Power until the screen goes black, and then release? I've done it like that many times, and also continued to hold everything down as the logo appears, and then system goes back to the battery charging icon as if it powers off again. I sound like such a noob when I type stuff like that!
I saw ODIN successfully write system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img, so I'm thinking any CWM recovery I had on there is toast.

P.S. Welcome to the forum!
it sounds strange. never heard of such a strange boot problem. anyway it could be that while transferring boot.img it became damaged due to some error. i know you probably tryed but you may try and connect it to linux or mac os x in order to check if you could retrive more data about the tab. for example the mac could find if it is totally corrupted. normally when i plug my samsung devices it ask me to add the samsung-modem also if they are turned off. meybe if it happens the same to you you can try to adb fastboot it also if i doubt myself about it working, but give it a shot
i hope my bad english is not preventing you to understand what i'm saying!

As far as i know your Xoom might be romless. Try flashing any rom from your sdcard and lets see what happens

Can you teach me how can I flash the rom through Fastboot because ADB is not recognized by the computer, cannot install MTP driver.

Im sorry i cant. Im not familiar with such way since flashing from sdcard is more simple for me. Computer not recognizing device because of MTP driver is known for common issue though. Dont you want to try flashing from sdcard? Its easier if one is present.

Just copy the rom and gapps to the sdcard and simply flash them from the recovery. Or if you want to update the revovery, you can also put it in the sdcard and flash it before you flash the rom. Wipe cache lastly

Gee so sorry. I thought you have custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Apparently you still have stock recovery there. So i guess you need to download the stock image for your Xoom and, yes you are correct, flash them from fastboot then. Long long time ago, i ever did this but i dont really remember all things. But all i know is that I followed steps from here http://androidforums.com/xoom-all-things-root/653230-return-your-xoom-stock.html. Pay attention for post #37 since all commands i applied are from there. If you need different version of image, you can try looking which fits yours here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049485. As i told you before, ive done this long time ago so i dont remember what i did at that time but i succeeded by following the steps. However, im here to help you as far as i can. Keep me updated with your process there

Your advice was definitely the solution, but I did not get to do anything because my Xoom is stuck in black screen and cannot power it on
I do not know the cause. It's incredible what happens !
Suddenly started to reboot itself, then stopped completely. It was only connected to the original charger and USB, ready for install drivers and flash.
The power led is ok (white and green, after few minutes) I removed the battery, the voltage is correct, and nothing ...
Do you have any idea?

No, before, when my tablet was with my initial problem (Won't turn OFF and stuck on M logo).
Suddenly it started to reboot itself and stuck each time at M logo, then stopped completely, after 4-5 cycles.
During this time, I followed the steps in this link till the point 6 (reboot your computer, plug in your Xoom and allow the drivers to install), with WiFi Xoom Restore downloaded files.
Black screen, no fastboot, no android recovery, nothing, just a green light when charging with original wall charger (SPN5632B)

With Original Motorola Wall Charger SPN5632B, no long time because my tablet was almost always connected to the charger.
The battery has 8 volts and charger 12 volts.
If I disconnect the charger and hook it back, the white light stay bright about 10 minutes, then turns green.
Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi - MZ604
From what I remember, last days when charging, the Xoom jacks area was warm, now is cold. Maybe it is normal to be cold if the tablet is fully charged now, I don`t know exactly if this is a good indication for helping me...

Green light indicates that the battery is full. Your case is not an ordinary one though. What happens if you press volume up+power button? Does it even boot? At least to the fastboot?
Anyway, previously you said that you removed the battery. Did you tear up your Xoom?

Yes, it is very difficult to understand what happened in this case. No logo, no boot, no fastboot, is power off
Now (Volume up + Power) = Nothing, same black screen
Before (Volume up + Power) = Reset
Yes, I tear up my Xoom

Im afraid i could not give you further suggestion other than removing sdcard and trying booting it up again with any means or keep pressing the volume up+power button for at least a minute. If it doesnt give you any good, well then sorry im done by this point.
Any history about the tablet? The one that pushed you to tear up the device maybe? What happened before the tablet's gone weird?
