Hey guys,
I am new to this and ran into a problem and would appreciate it if i could get some help.
So i recently rooted my phone and flashed CM 9,1 Build 9 and drained my batter to try to recalibrate it as suggested at quite a few locations here. Well, the phone died and when I plugged it in for charging, it sort of woke up (slight white screen ) and then nothing. now it refuses to charge or turn on. I am going to try a new battery tomorrow but for the time being, any suggestions please?
thanks
Edit : I was reading the help section on HTC rezound and apparently it has something to do with CWM not allowing offline charging once the battery is fully dead. I'll try charging the battery through some other means and update you guys if it works. Also there is a way to get it to boot into recovery using adb with some trickle charge but that hasnt worked for me.
Thanks again !
That's from the official cwm recovery, next time use twrp or yannou's, only thing as far as I know is, take from somwhere another battery with some charge and change recovery.
Thanks for your help. I am using yannous recovery and yet ran into this issue. Resolved by charging the battery elsewhere. Worked fine after that. Mods can kindly close the thread.

Not bricked, just a scare.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 1.1.7
I flashed the camera mod a couple hours ago too.
So here is what happened. I was using my phone as normal, battery was low, I got a text message, when I tried to unlocked my phone to check it the screen went blank and I could not do anything then the phone just turned off. I didn't think much of it, thought it just died. About 30mins later I put it to charge, first on my PS3, but it wouldn't turn on, then on my little brother's computer, it made the USB sound thingy, I tired turning it on again, still nothing. I went to get my wall charger, again nothing. Took the battery out for about 20mins, put it back in and tried to charge it, the orange charge light turned on, but turned off after 5 secs. Left it charging for about 15mins, still nothing.
I was freaking out at this point. I remembered the USB sound my brother's computer made when I connected so I went to connect to my computer. I used ABD to reboot it and like magic it worked.
I'm writing this to share my experience and to ask if anyone knows what happened?
*Update*
Just took my battery out to put my SIM and SD card in and I had to do it again. I'm going to SuperWipe and Re-Flash the Rom.
Which recovery are you running?

It's not only you. Check the Android Rev thread. A lot of people are having this issue after flashing 1.1.7. Flashing a different kernel seems to fix the problem.
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.

Remove battery, reinsert it then try again and see if that works. My guess is that your max screen off frequency is too low so your phone couldnt wake up from deep sleep
I did that a million times. and still not working
Are you under volted at all? If so could be under volted too much.
Have you tried a fresh download and install with a full wipe? Assuming you can access recovery, it might be worth a try. Also out of curiosity have you tried a different battery? Once I had no life, no boot, no led and I switched out my battery and bam it booted back up. That's also worth a try. Best of luck and I hope you get it sorted out soon. Best wishes .

Maybe you left the battery die. It doesnt even show the charging light You should try charging it for an hour remove the battery and charge again, than try to boot. Sesation are known for not booting if the battery dies
Thanks all for the advices, I had my phone sent to the service center for repair or hopefully will get replaced since it was only a week old.
If you let the phone battery run down, it will not, I repeat WILL NOT boot back up out of recovery.
When I plug the charger in it just boot it right back into recovery, which we all know won't charge the battery.
Pull the battery, put battery back in, plug in the charger....boot right back into recovery.
Power off from recovery with charger still plugged in...boot right back up in recovery.
Reboot system from recovery...boot right back up in recovery.
No way to charge the battery without getting out of recovery first.
No way to boot out of recovery without enough juice in the battery.
I had to use the extended battery (spare) to boot up the phone and...well you guest it...to flash the "other" recovery to get it working normal again.

Miui
TWRP 2.3.1.0
Works fine on earlier version, if this is a false alarm, then please delete.
Update: After reading through a few forums, TWRP might be able to charge while in recovery. It doesn't work for me.
That's a +1 for 4ext. It let's you charge the battery in recovery.

Your phone should charge in the powered off state though.
Thought so too but I know for a fact that cwm boots you into recovery as soon as there is enough juice to boot. Then having the screen on starting what little there is left. I know because I dealt with that for a month before I realized that my stock battery finally took a drive and wasn't retaining a full charge anymore.

Its recovery 101 never mess with recovery unless you have a decent charge. You are just asking for trouble. I agree it makes 4ext look better because you can charge while in its recovery. If you let your phone die in recovery then you deserve it. Not to sound harsh but for the longest time when devs post roms they said make sure your battery is charged before flashing the rom. You think they was joking? lol
I remember having to do that with the Droid Eris.

I think what he means is, if you let your phone die normally, then plug it in to charge, it will boot to recovery. I had that happen to me when i first tried clockwork touch.

Let me clear it up a bit.
If there's not enough juice in the battery to boot up the phone. If you push and hold the power button and nothing happen then you're screwed.
As soon as you plug in the charger, it will boot right to TWRP. you can not stop it from booting into TWRP, when you power it off from within TWRP it will boot right back into TWRP as long as the charger is connected.
Bottom Line:
If your battery went dead (under normal usage condition) and you don't have a good spare. You are SCREWED. This is a FATAL bug.
There's no way to charge a dead battery.
DarkJedi thinks that I'm in TWRP while the phone went dead. The answer is NO. The battery went dead under standby.

You're not understanding the post. This has nothing to do with messing with TWRP. Battery went dead under normal using condition, has nothing to do with recovery.

That's the problem, it will not power down out of TWRP, as soon as you plug in the charger it will boot right back into TWRP.
It has the same cwm bug there used to be. When you plug the phone in to charge it boots into recovery.

That's good to know, I had been using TWRP on my Thunderbolt so I guess it's time to switch back to 4ext, i just wish there was software keyboard support in 4ext.
Also with a note, I had this problem the op had when using TWRP on my Asus Transformer, actually strangely, while the recovery was installed it would not charge the device at all, not even when turned off. Once TWRP was taken off of it, and CWM back on, it charged properly. After using TWRP I can say for some reason this recovery has some serious game changing bugs.
EDIT: Also, "Boot Manager" doesn't seem to be compatible with restoring backups made with TWRP.
Give this build a shot and see if it fixes the charging:

No idea what your trouble with the Transformer were but charging on the Transformer isn't done in recovery and changing recovery wasn't the fix.
The Thunderbolt & most all HTC devices made after it use recovery for charging. There's a handful of HTC binaries & a special init.rc that make the device charge while turned off. None of this is part of the recovery code so it's not inherent to TWRP itself.

my port is busted so i cant test charging but the build does work
Another tester confirmed that it was fixed in that version, so I have updated everything.
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
When my advice helps you, try the THANKS button

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.
