[please help] Problem with my Touch Pro 2

Edit (2)--
Seems like the problem is fixed. The battery is charging. Phone working like normal. Seems good so far.
Edit--
Ok, seems like I'm pretty good. Seems like it's a battery problem. The only problem right now is that my battery isn't holding charge. Luckily, my brother has the same phone. So, I'll use his battery, put the t-mobile rom back on my phone, request a new battery or phone and wait till Jan 6.
I have the touch pro2.
I have no idea what's wrong with my phone. But it's not working.
I keep on trying to turn it on, and it only turns on sometimes, and when it does, it lasts for a few seconds, then it shuts off. It's been on the charger since last night, I tried turning it on with the charger and without (And I see the orange light when the charger is plugged in)
Sometimes when I open it, it turns on, but still turns off when I shut it.
I have flashed my phone with Enegergy rom. Is there anyway that I can put the t-mobile rom back in my phone so that I can send it back? Help PLEASE!
If I can just get the original t-mobile stock rom back on the phone, I'm pretty sure I can send it back with no problem.
Things I notice so far;
- When I unplug my power cord, I get the battery critically low. (Hopefully, that's the problem).
Problems
-When I try to plug my phone into the computer. I'm not getting any activesync options
I just hard reset the phone, To see if it'll reconize the activesync now
so I can put the t-mobile rom on it.

It's dead Jim.

OK, never had any auto resets, just had to manually restart often to cure various ills. Then yesterday it was stuck on the dimmest backlight setting. This morning picked it up from charging overnight and it's 100% dead. Switched batteries, plugged it into various computers and USB power sources. Dead.
Anyone brought a G2x back to life?

Have you tried a wall charger? If your battery discharges completely, like deader than dead, then sometimes you have to plug it into a wall charger and leave it there for several minutes before the phone will even show its connected to a charger.

I guess the real question to ask first is, what did you have it plugged in to? What kind of charger? Was it plugged into a surge protector?

It was plugged into the LG wall charger it came with overnight. I tried a iGo USB wall -> USB power supply and a USB port on my desktop windows PC.

It depends on how dead it is, if its a hardware defect of some sort then you're probably SOL. But, you don't have to be able to turn it on per se to use NVFlash, so if I were you I would try to see if you can get the device to be recognized using the APX drivers. If you can, then you might have a chance.

My G2x died after freaking up during one of the Davlik cache clears....
It originally would boot up and get stuck at "LG", but after a while it was completely unresponsive (not even a Boot Logo) and wouldn't even turn on. I thought it was fried. Luckily we have NVFlash that you can use without booting the phone up.
Take the battery out and press and hold the VOL keys, then plug it in. Your PC should "ping" letting you know something was connected. Then just reflash a recovery.
I did this a ton of times and it didn't work at first. I kept flashing stock then CWM, then stock, then CWM (different versions too). Eventually it displayed the LG logo and allowed me to boot into CWM where I flashed a new rom.
Been solid ever since.
I also read about this in the Asus Transformer forums (cause I just picked one up) and read about a guy experiencing the same thing.
Worth a shot. The NVFlash method will at least let you know if it is DEAD or just not working. If NVFlash doesn't connect then it is hosed. If NVFlash connects and accepts a new recovery, then something just got corrupted.

All good now! I unplugged, removed battery, let sit a while. Put the battery back in and it booted! Yet more strange behaviour from the G2x, but as usually I get it working again and stick with this phone.
But today I got a second from craigslist to play with alternate ROMs. Trying CM7.1 RC1 first, it's working pretty good on my Nook.

Problem with charging

Hello,
recently, my 7Pro drained all the battery and turned off. When I got home, I plugged it in and waited to finish the charging. After 20 minutes I noticed that the phone powers on, put the announcement that the battery is critically low, stays on for about 3-5 minutes, then turns off itself. After that it shows big battery icon on a screen and nothing is happening. Again, when I plug the cable out and in again, the phone starts and behave again the same (stays on and then turn off by itself).
Does anyone encountered similar problem? Could it be faulty battery? I've tried 3 different chargers (including car), tried to charge it from my 2 computers, tried charging while in bootloader mode, also I've reset it to defaults (+; - ; power). Nothing helped so far.
I have it still in warranty, but I have cooked ROM made by ansar. I'm a little afraid to send it like that to HTC.
Any advices greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

OK,
I will answer myself
Do not give a phone to your younger brother! Little brat somehow changed USBMode to "diag" and uninstalled the app! I have restored the phone to defaults and managed to check that before it turns off. After switching to Zune mode, the phone is charging without any problems.
So anyone having similar problem might want to check it out before panicking like me.

[Q] Did I just brick my Evita One X?

I do apologize for filling up this forum with yet another "Did I brick..." question, but I'm really at my wits end and need some guidance.
This morning I decided to update my kernel to ElementalX 5.0. Prior to this I was using the 4.5b kernel and had no issues, but I wanted to move to the stable release and hadn't had any issues in the past. I have ViperXL 3.2.3 installed on this as well. I have yet to apply S-Off as I haven't had any real issues at the time and wanted to wait for the weekend when I had enough time to dedicate to the process (life is hectic blah blah blah).
I downloaded and installed the 5.0 kernel as I had previously, making a nandroid prior to the install. I decided to try some of the overclocks/undervolts that everyone raves about so during the install I chose the 2.1GHz overclock (because I can always step it down if it gets flaky, right?) as well as overclocking the GPU and undervolting to 850. I also went with zRAM as usual. After this was done and the phone rebooted twice (a common occurrence) I was brought to the window where Android was optimizing my apps. After that completed, I was brought to my home screen where I saw the clock and everything else. It looked like yet another successful install....and then the phone went black. Since then I have been unable to get it to boot. Pressing and holding the Power + Volume Down does nothing. I've held it for over a minute and no blinking capacitive lights or anything. The charge light does not come on when it's plugged in and, while my computer first tried to install the drivers when I plugged it in, I received an error saying the device was unplugged and no matter what I do I cannot get it to try to install again. Device Manager doesn't show it as being plugged in and it no longer comes up in Windows Explorer. Prior to the install the batter was at 83% and I have had it plugged in now for almost 20 minutes and still the charge light has not illuminated.
I never thought it would be possible to kill this phone, but I think I successfully did. Does anyone have any insight, suggestions, or helpful pointers. Yes, I know this was a risk I took doing this and I am not going to bemoan the fact that I did this to myself...I just really want to know if it's possible to resurrect this phone.

Leave it plugged in to a wall charger for a while

So do that as opposed to plugging it into a PC? Asking since I don't have a cube with me at the moment and will need to run home at lunch to grab one if the case.

Yes into the wall charger...and hold power for thirty seconds does anything light up?

As for my own experience I have had trouble getting my phone to reboot or get into the bootloader when it plugged in. The charger seems to keep the phone turned on while it charging. Try unplugging it from the charger and try again.

This happened to me too, but I got it to reboot by holding down the power button. What's happened is that the phone thinks the battery is dead. When it comes back up, you'll probably show 1% charge. Somehow or another, the battery monitor data gets corrupted. I think it's related to the general battery data bug that's plagued this phone from the beginning.
Your phone clearly can't handle 2.1 and undervolting (I increased my voltage to run 2.1). Bump up the voltage when you get it back up.

Definitely. The wall charger is much faster than USB from a computer.

IT LIVES!!!!
I ran home and grabbed my wall charger and brought it back to work. I plugged the phone into the charger and let it sit. After about 2 minutes, the charging LED lit up. I gave it about 15 minutes and then tried to power it on but it was no go, turning off the charging light and not doing anything, so I let it charge for another 30. When I thought it should be good and ready, I decided to go ahead and attempt to boot into the bootloader, as my fear was that the undervolt and massive overclock would most likely bring me back to square one. Holding down Power and Volume Down, I said a silent prayer to the device gods.....and the capacitive buttons began flashing.
Once I got into the bootloader, I quickly booted into TWRP, cleared cache and Dalvik, and then reinstalled ElementalX 5, this time choosing the stock voltage and not overclocking the GPU. I kept the overclock at 2.1 because, like I said before, if the phone is flaky, I can dial back the speed and restore functionality. I like the idea of having the option to go balls-to-the-walls if I WANT to, but not necessarily will I go that route.
After the lengthy kernel install and the normal 2 boots, I was met with my beautiful Viper lock screen. Thank you guys so much for the insight into needing to charge from the wall instead of the PC. I never imagined the computer would refuse provide a charge to it if it was completely dead (or the phone thought it was completely dead...once I got into TWRP it stated battery life was 86%). I am calibrating the battery now as I just realized it hasn't been done in probably 6 ROM installs.....derp!
Since this issue is resolved now, the thread can be closed. Thanks again, all!

USB charging might still work, it would just take a lot longer. Some folks have had to plug there wall charger for hours or overnight, even on the wall charger, to get their phone booted again. So the wall charger is just better since its faster.

And it may have, but the thing I noticed in the 90 or so minutes it was connected to my work PC was that the phone was the coldest it had ever been since I got it, meaning that the usual warmth caused by charging was not present at all. I did notice in Device Manager that when I plugged in the phone, it would register the phone as an HID (Human Input Device) and then it would disappear, only to reappear again and then disappear once more. This would happen non-stop until I disconnected it, so perhaps that's why it didn't charge at all during the time it was plugged into the computer? In any event, good ol' wall current supplied the juice necessary to bring this sucker back to life, so I'll file this info in my memory banks and make sure I have a wall charger at my desk from now on.

Probably hard brick?

Hi everyone,
I've searched something with the search option but I did not find anything like my problem.
Problem is: I've a stock rom 4.4.2 on my note, but I've rooted once my tablet with a cyanogen, then I come back to a stock rom.
Yesterday it worked well. During the night I charged my note, this morning it appears only on boot logo, then I switched off to try to reboot but now it seems dead, it doesn't switch on, neither on odin or recovery mode, neither vibrate, neither charge (no logo on charging).
I've tried other cable which works 100%, and the charger of device works too (it charges my cellphone as example).
I've tried all combination of buttons (power+volume up or down or both), and nothing, the charger remains cold so doesn't charge. I think to test battery with external tester, and then I've to see if it is the battery or not.
Any other idea from you guys?

Any news on this?
Hello,
I have the same issue although I have stock firmware. On night after charging from a almost empty battery (5%) the screen didn't com back up. Totally black. The Charger seems OK and no improvement after using another charger as well. I'm interested to hear if and how this was resolved.
kr,
