[q] help!!! Accidentally try to restore custom rom while battery was low!!!!

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.

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

Bricked Sensation, PLEASE help me

2 weeks ago I have bought a HTC Sensation, branded by Vodafone, LOCKED, S-ON, HBOOT 1.27, firmware 3.32, everything works.
I have done S-OFF via juopunutbear , superCID, debranded, firmware 3.33, latest radio, and 4ext recovery.
I have tried many ROMs like: ARHD, Pyromod, AOKP, CM10, official CM9 stable, ViperS, and OpenSensation.
I have also tried many KERNELs : SebastianFM, faux132, bricked kerlnel, DragunKernel and tamcore.
OpenSensation and tamcore were last working.
Last night I have installed HyperNonSense-v3.4 , but it don't load. It's only show a HTC logo and restart.
So, i press Vol - and enter bootloader. Select recovery and it normally boot into 4ext recovery. I have battery charged only to 30%.
It was late night and i was tired. So i put my phone on table, DON'T TURN OFF and go sleep. (08 september 1:25 AM)
(9:25 AM) When i wake up, i see only 3% charged battery. So i go have a breakfast but when i come to bedroom, my sensation was OFF.
(8:15 PM) A half hour ago i put Sensation on charger, but LED don't turn ON.
I can't turn on my phone.
Tried to remove battery and other things many times.
But i still CAN'T TURN ON!!!
PLEASE, can SOMEONE HELP ME???
:crying: :crying: :crying:

Try to leave the phone to charge a couple of hours and then.
Try to turn it back on a combination of up and down volume and power button.(all buttons in the same time)
My friend had this problem with htc evo 3d.
He was able to solve it in this way.

i wil try this

I have heard of this happening A LOT with this device. It makes me afraid to death to EVER let my battery run down all the way! I'm wondering if it isn't some sort of "bug" the sensation has ? I've personally read of this happening at least ten times! I'm wondering what causes this? People say there device is running perfectly fine then battery runs down and it won't turn back on! Too many people with the same story to be a fluke thing... Some had success with charging without sd and sim for several hours then replacing sd and sim and put back on charger for a while. I hope this helps and wish you the best.

Ok to actually put some knowledge behind this instead of people guessing whats wrong:
Good news is the phone isnt bricked.
Basically htc build in some code that means if the battery runs completly flat, it wont turn on again until it is charged to at least 30 % - it doesnt even power on the charging LED.
Trust me, I have had this problem myself but after charging for a few hours it should turn on

Bricked My GS3

I used this method to root, flash CWM Recovery, and unlocked the bootloader.
http://youtu.be/6-tQ05Zo_9U
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1974114
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.

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.

[Q] Bizarre HTC One X Charging/USB problem!!

I'm hoping some of you wise heads on here might be able to help me out with a problem that has got me totally and utterly stumped!
Last week I was using my One X and noticed the battery was down to aorund 14%. I plugged it into a charger and nothing happened...no light...nothing. I tried various different chargers and cables to pc etc and nothing seemed to do anything.
After leaving the phone plugged into the mains for a few hours, I noticed that a very slow/long flashing red/amber light appeared. It kind of stays on for 5 seconds and then off for the same amount of time. I left the phone in this state for about 14 hours and when turning on it would say battery was somewhere between 0%, 1% and 2% and would promptly switch itself off.
I messed about for hours on end trying many different button combinations, sim in/out and came to this bizarre conclusion.........If I plug the phone into the mains for a few minutes, then press power and volume down to get to the HBOOT menu then hold power in again to reboot, the phone reboots into the OS and is functional. It still reads as having 0% or 1% battery and shows as not charging, but it must be getting some juice for it to be working. If I leave the phone in this state for a while I can then unhook it from the charger and use it as normal, even though battery is displaying as 0%. I can use the phone like this for some time, although the battery does not appear to last as long.
Also, the phone is not recognised at all by the PC when plug in via usb when in android os - nothing at all shows in device manager, but it is recognised from the fastboot menu and tries to install device drivers.
Has anybody got any clue if I can save my HOX or am I without a paddle?? Many thanks in advance

Is your phone completely Stock? or is it bootloader unlocked/rooted? I'm pretty positive this is a hardware issue, you can rule it out by RUUing if you're Stock. If you're not stock, you can still RUU but if you should S-OFF first.

Thanks for the quick repIy. I was hoping you weren't going to say a hardware issue :crying: The phone is totally stock and unrooted. This might be a stupid question, but if I RUU will I lose all the data on my phone? Also any idea which RUU to use? My HOX is an unlocked, unbranded version bought in the UK.

Sorry for the bad news, I would repost in the international one x forum as you have a different phone as us Quad core VS Dual core. I don't think the response will be much different but they should also have the proper RUU links for your phone. Good Luck.

Ok I'll do that. Thanks for the advice, it is greatly appreciated.

Hello there!
I have same issue, but when I flash a kernel. I flashed the AlexV 2.4 RC kernel and usb masstorage works again. BUT becuse I wipe battery status some times now if y boot the phone chargin, it sais that is chargin, but when I disconnect the cable still chargin
Anyway, I have HTC One X tegra 3 quadcore from argentina. And all this chargin issues is about the kernel/rom tweaks. If you boot on recovery and the phone charge ok (sho the led) and the mount of the sd on recovery works, its 100% rom/kernel problem.

[Q] Sensation not working

Hello,
I am an owner of HTC Sensation, rooted with Android Revolution 7.3.
My phone has ~1,5 years, since its first days i was using Android Revolution ROM, never had any problem.
Today, my phone first lost signal. Itcould not connect to any mobile network so I tried to restart it, when i got back to it after 5 minutes, the phone was stuck on beats audio logo and when i touched it, it felt very hot, it was never that hot even I used it for hours playing some games or browsing internet. (I think it was processor, down side of the phone, below battery, but because of that battery got a bit hotter too) I had to pull off the battery, I've waited till it got cold and tried to run again but rom was not working so i reflashed it from my sd card, after the next restart (phone did not get hot) when phone was checking installed apps, it simply turned itself off. Before battery showed around 80% charged, after reinstall 30% and it happened in max 10 minutes ,but after that shut down I could not turn it on. LED was not working, I tried pulling off battery, charging it, charging without abttery then connecting it, trying to reboot with abs but PC could not see the device.
The only thing I noticed, when i was trying tocharge it for the first time, processor was getting hotter but LED was not working, but then, it simply went cold.
I have no idea what I could do more here, it looks like hardware problem but te only thing i could not check was putting a new battery and try it then. Is there anything I can do more about it?
For any help, thank you.
PS: When the phone 'died' it was using faux123's 1,5 GHz kernel which came with the ROM. AsI said, before this event, everything was working perfectly, no sign of this incoming event. No restarts, freezes or crashes.
*If it matters, i was charging phone every 4-5 days, never let it go below 10%, bettery is from HTC EVO 1730mAh (original).

can you boot to the bootloader?
if yes do it and select from there reboot
see how it goes

Re-tried these methods, hoped I had done soemthing wrong before. I saw the artice before, was hoping there are different ways to revive the phone. Tried this, says device not found. Looks like the only method would be this JTAG box but it's a bit expensive or try to send it to repair.
Anyway thank you for your time, I appreciate it.
-And if I might ask, any idea why the phone heated up itself on nearly last startup as I mentioned in my thread? It would be allright if the phone just died before this event, now it just makes me think there might be bigger hardware problem which just caused the death and it's not worth repair.
