Charge phone in fastboot or in bootloop? - HTC Desire S

Hello,
My friend's phone got stuck in a bootloop (HTC logo). I want to try and fix this by installing an official RUU. However, I get the warning that the battery is too low (below 30%). How can I charge it? I believe you cannot charge your phone while in fastboot mode and when I power of the phone and plug the wall charger in, the phone automatically powers on into the bootloop. How can I make shure that the phone is charging? I don't think it will charge enough in the bootloop...
The phone is not rooted and has S-On
thanks,
Amigo

If the phone is in warranty n If u say the phone is not rooted n is s-on take the phone to nearest HTC care centre.... They vll fix it up
If I hve helped you press the thanks button ...
sent from HTC sensation

I understand, but I first want to try it myself before the Phone is gone for three weeks

Not recommended to update to official ics, bugs that u can only fix by rooting your phone(void your warranty).
If it is still under warranty you might as well sent it back.
ps : Removing the battery can harm the phone's emmc chip = bricked phone.

a stand alone wall charger could do the trick. but...as suggested by the folks, might as well let htc do their job and fix it for you

In fastboot mode or Just in the bootloop?

Turn it off and charge it

Then it will automatically turn on into bootloop

Turn it off after you connect

is there any other way how to turn off phone in bootloop or freeze? I want to know it because this can happen to me too (I like tweaking) and I want to avoid removing battery

[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] Dead bootloader HTC Sensation

Hi, my HTS Sensation is not switching on, not entering bootloader
i think that bootloader the fell off, is it possible restore dead bootloader if phone not turn on? is there any manual how to unbrick device?
thanks for help!
Did the let the battery die all the way by any chance?
If so, the battery is too low and I believe certain recoveries don't charge the phone (it's a bug). If you let it die all the way, take an old charger with a comparable output voltage and rip the end off that goes into the phone. There are gonna be two wires, red and black. Take the red and attach it to the + Terminal on the battery, and the black goes to the - Terminal. Do this for maybe 15 to 20 minutes, and that'll charge the battery - hopefully enough to turn the phone on. Do this with the battery out of the phone and make sure the wires never touch or cross. There are four terminals on the battery, the inner two shouldn't be touched, ever.
Again, only do this if you happened to let the battery die completely, as it's semi risky and making a mistake can damage the battery.
Try this:
1. Unplug battery and put it back try to boot in bootloader mode if that didn't work.
2. plug the USB cable in and hook it with the computer and try to boot it. If your computer show up some device found but is not show as normal android usb or sensation. most likely your sensation got hardware damage. If that happened try to contact HTC and ask for repair service.
I got similar issue before (rooted and s-off then sh1t my device during flash the rom) I send back to HTC and they repaired and send it back to me only shipping fee charged.
the battery is full, but the phone doesn't respond... the bootloader not run anymore
I have no guarantee, and I don't know where is service center HTC
Do as Johnsonyc said, remove your battery, reinsert it, and try to boot it up. If not, ship it to an HTC center and they should take care of it.
Did you do anything to cause this or did it just happen out of nowhere?
One trick you can try is to pull the battery, put it back in, insert a usb cable, hold volume down, then plug the usb into a comp. Sometimes that will get it to boot up.
Thanks for all.... but you don't understand?! I did everything 100 times .... do you know what is a bootloader? it (boot up) does not exist... just bricks
There are two solutions: 1)- send to a service center (pls. not offered).
2)- flash the bootloader - if anyone knows how to do it, please write.
thank you
Cool down sunshine. I don't believe we can flash the bootloader. Just send it in to HTC, they'll take care of it.

[Q] Hard Brick? broken hardware?

Hello
I have a frined with Sensation XE (not rooted, S-On completely stock) ant it was acting weird lately. sometimes freezing, or rebooting and entering infinite loop. Removing battery and putting it back would help for sometime but then the problems started again.
Ultimately, the phone is completely dead. No orange LED whne charger connected, no bootloader, no tuting ON at all, and the screen is always off.
I am wondering if this is a harware problem and motherboard or smth else should be replaced? or can this be software fault and maybe it is possible to fix with unbrick project or smth?
please advice.
PS: the battery is totally fine - check it with my other Sensation phone and it works great...

I am in Japan and there is no official support for Sensation here (it sucks). I got my phone from ebay 5-6 months ago. Sending the phone to HongKong or smth like that would cost as much as buying a used one or maybe even more.
So i decided to go with self-repair way. If this is hardware - i will replace the motherboard myself or whatever is broken myself. I just need to find out where is the problem.
Pleashe help me with identifying it
You could try removing sd card and sim. A problem with these may cause such issues.
Aftwrwards, remove and reconnect the battery, make sure the battery contacts actually make contact, or put some folded piece of paper to hold the battery, if it does not.
Than let the phone rest in charge for some 15 minutes, and try turning it on.

Thank you for advise but I have tried all of that already. Removed sim and microsd, charged the phone several times even for 1 entire night.
I managed to connect the phone to PC and with a wire-trick it shows QHUSB_DLOAD does this mean the phone is not dead completely?

Hi,
Make sure to connect to PC via usb 2.0 slots only,and no hubs.
Also try different slots,front and back.
I do not know about linux,but do you have all the correct drivers?

[Q] Phone dead, but the problem is not the battery

Last night I changed the SIM of my Nexus S, put back the battery but did not close the phone with its battery cover since I was going to change the SIM again soon after. I turned the phone on, but the battery fell down and obviously the phone turned off. However, when I tried to put the battery back and turned on the phone, it did not. The phone seems dead and I'm pretty sure the problem is not the battery as it has always been working fine. Any help?

No charging animation right? Same here. it seems we have bricked our phones beyond repair.
Cache?
I am not too sure if this would work but try these steps however this will only work if you phone is rooted (ONLY UP TILL STEP 5, AFTER STEP 5 ROOT WILL BE NEEDED):
1) Pull of the back cover of the phone and then plug it into the computer via a usb cable
2) Hold down the power button for 15 seconds, in some lucky chances the phone may turn on if not continue to step 3
3) Pull out the battery but keep the usb plugged in DO NOT UNPLUG
4) Now hold down the power button for a further 15 seconds, in some lucky chances the phone may turn on if not continue to step 5
5) After this unplug the phone from the usb, reinsert the battery IF YOUR PHONE IS ROOTED attempt to turn it on but holding the volume UP button and the power button then navigate to the recovery section from here clear your cache then attempt to turn your phone on. IF YOU PHONE IS NOT ROOTED you can only try and turn it on the normal way (by holding down the power button).
Hope this works for you.
mine too, pulled off battery after it hang, and now it can't be turn on.

My phone is getting scared.. :laugh:
Do you know how many times i've just pulled the battery when it hangs, or I was stupid and didn't have on the back cover, or it Was wednesday and I was bored?.. Here my phone is, all in a panic, and I'm afraid to pull it's battery to ease the pain of it being frozen, or pull it's battery when it gets sick with a bootlooping bug.. How am I supposed to pull the battery when my hands are shaking and my mind is telling me NO, but my heart just wants to help?? How am I supposed to look my phone in the camera and say, "I can't help you"??
I just can't do it,..
I just can't..

This sh1t happen to me last night, from my research the emmc is bricked the phone needs a new emmc or a repair using a tool like riff box or an external programmer of a kind.
The cost for this operation is really high i will try to do it with a simple smd work station and see how it goes
@mimimouchi if u don't have warranty, u will have to pay a huge amount to fix the phone which doesn't worth it if u take into consideration the current price and age of the phone
Why this happen on samsung mobiles ? is this company going down ? ffs

From my research, people which pull the battery during boot have a dead/bricked or whatever, emmc. Your first bet is the unbrickable mod if u have the soldering skills and the proper tools, after u apply the mod and u can't flash the phone ur emmc crapped and u need to replace it with a new one, u will need an smd station to remove the chip and solder the new one.
The cost of the operation is around 100$, another option is to try and find a new motherboard from a user / broken whatever nexus still at the price range of 100$++
My opinion ? ur phone is dead blame samsung for this **** and go buy a new one without samsung parts ....

If ur battery fell during the boot sequence then ur emmc is bricked, and u need to replace it ther is no mod to fix this nor jtag can fix it, if u have experience with smd soldering desoldering reballing reflowing etc etc then u can fix it urself
The cost for this will run around 100euros depends on the shop and the method that they will use to solder the new chip
You can ask local technicians how much they charge for something like this, my opinion is that if they want more than 50euros ur better off buying a newer phone

no cause ur phone acts completely dead 99% when a nexus s can't give a signal of life (despite battery heating when u plug the charger) it's an emmc brick which can be resolved only if u replace the actual chip all the emmc bricks happen when the battery is removed during boot / shutdown and rarely when the phone is already running android
But if u want to be 100% sure the only cheap solution IF U HAVE THE EXPERIENCE is to perform the unbrickable mod, which requires to remove a resistor on the motherboard and bridge 2 pads, then ur phone will be detected and if u can't flash a rom in this stage then u need to replace the emmc
As for me i'm sure that ur phone has an emmc brick, a nexus s that acts dead, no vibration, no lights, no nothing, except heating when u plug the charger indicates a hardware failure
You have 2 solutions bring it to a shop or fix it urself if u can ... nothing can be done with software at this point that's my opinion

My evita went really hot .. it was in my pocket.. i dont know how!
It switched off.
now when i turn it in., i get the starting htc logo and it switched off afrom there again.
My pc gives me a notification when i connect it.. but adb dosent show any devices..
PLEASE HELP!!
Plug it into the wall charger (not connected to computer by USB) and let it charge for several hours (overnight if you can). Then try it, and see if there is any improvement.
Any charge light come on, when you connect the charger?
There have been some cases of spontaneous battery level drop, and the phone powering off. The power has to go somewhere, so heat is not a surprising result.
It can also be you have a battery or other power fault of some sort. So I would take some caution, and monitor to some degree while charging, just in case of a short circuit, fire hazard, etc.

Hmm, that is a bit worrisome. I know somebody had a similar case (LED on, even when not connected), but it was solid red (not blinking). He never go it running and did a warranty exchange.
I'd try to charge for several hours, and try to power on. Also try to get into bootloader, or power on, when its still connected to charger. I know it sounds strange, but there was at least one guy a while back, that only got his device up and running again by doing the bootloader button combo while the charger was connected.

I think Uviz means to try to continue booting after getting into bootloader with the charger plugged in.
the phone switches off itself after 20-25 secs.
i managed to flash recovery again in that time.
i was able to access the recovery
but the phone switches off!!
its like.. i can do anything but i got only 25 secs!

The phone switches off while in recovery? Is the phone charged? Are you running a custom kernel?

The custom kernel would not load in recovery so it is of no consequence.
If it's shutting down while in recovery and the phone has a full or decent charge there's a good chance it's a hardware issue.
If you leave the phone in bootloader does it shut off also?
If it doesn't you can try to RUU and see if it's stable again but if you're phone decides to shut off in the middle, you'll most likely have an irrecoverable brick.

yes it shuts down in bootloader also.
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I wouldn't try running an RUU, like Exad said it'll likely screw up and brick your phone. I think you'll need to send it for repair.

definitely a hardware issue. It's more than likely you need a new main board.

Plug it in and see if fastboot or adb recognizes it
I had thought I bricked once and turned out I still had fastboot access and managed to flash a 2.14 hboot and recovery and get my phone back .
