[Q] HTC Aria will not boot if plugged in

EDIT: Wrong category, sorry. I'm new.
Rooted Aria/Liberty won't turn on if it's plugged in (wall charger or USB). The orange charging light is on and the screen is lit but black. The menu buttons do not turn on. I have to remove the battery after unplugging it for it to turn on.
The phone is rooted and the problem is consistent no matter what ROM I use. I believe it is a problem with the bootloader, but I'm not very advanced with these things.
I rooted the phone with Unrevoked and whenever I boot into recovery mode it says "Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4."
Any suggestions on how to make this problem go away? I know it's minor, but it is my mother's phone and every time I'm on the phone with her she complains about it.

The only way to fix a bootloader issue like this is to reflash the stock one, which you can accomplish by sourcing an HTC RUU (ROM Update Utility) for your Aria. This will flash everything back to stock so you'll lose everything, but it will fix these issues that tend to pop up occasionally
Good luck!

I just did this and the problem is still occuring. I used the RUU on HTC's website that was the upgrade to 2.2. The process went without a hitch, but it did not do anything except change to the stock Froyo ROM. I checked and it was still Revolutionary's bootloader and the same HBOOT (6.02.1002).
I believe I read that Revolutionary is a protected bootloader and fairly difficult to remove, but I'm not sure. I've been researching this for 11 hours now. I've read a lot. >.< I'm up for a challenge, though, so if you or anyone else have instructions/link on how to replace it, I'll try.

I followed that and the only thing it did was change the top of the bootloader screen from "Revolutionary" to "AlphaRev Unlock." The hboot is still the same. The problem is still happening.
Is there a way to downgrade my hboot even though it is protected? Heck, I can't even turn S-ON because of that.
NOTE: The major problem I'm running into with all the forum posts I find is that they used megaupload to host their downloads and those links no longer work.

You are MAGICAL. Thank you so much! And thanks to juzz86 for the suggestions as well.
I used fastboot to flash the recovery and now it does the normal battery image when the phone is off and charging.

No problem. When that happened to me, I panicked but after a couple of google searches I came across that...glad you solved it.

Is this fixable?

First off, I am a veteran of flashing and have a decent amount of experience fixing up bricked phones, but this time nothing is working.
I flashed a Jellybean rom to my one x this morning, and now nothing is working. Literally. I can't access bootloader, in fact, I can't even get the screen to turn on. I have tried holding down the power button, as well as entering recovery etc... But nothing is working. Am I missing something simple or am I really in trouble?

Doesn't sound good. Any notification light when you plug the wall charger in?
What were the exact steps you've done to flash? You have unlocked bootloader, installed a custom recovery, then flashed a ROM? Which ROM specifically? Hopefully you didn't flash a ROM ment for the international (Tegra) version to a Snapdragon (AT&T, Roger, etc.) version phone.
At what point did the ROM flash fail? any error messages from recovery?

Did you flash an international one X ROM? Just wondering to get that scenario out of the way.

It is 100% the problem. If the phone is not recognized when plugging into your PC, I think you're hosed (but maybe others may know more and correct me on this). If it is recognized, get the RUU for your phone and run it.
I ask again, any notification (charging light) come on when you plug the wall charger in?
For the AT&T (Snapdragon) version of the One X, only flash things in this specific forum:

Warranty replacements are for defects by HTC, not for damage that you caused.
If you are asking if you can lie about what happened, and get a replacement, than I'm not going to dignify that question with a response.

Well, I bricked my phone once and went straight to LG, they fixed it for me? Maybe HTC might fix it for you?

It's likely your phone is screwed. Strange though that it just died
Sent from my One X using xda premium

Connect the phone to your computer, and see if adb can see it. Of it can't, and the phone won't even show any lights when connected to the charger, I think you're screwed.
Also, leave it on the charger for several hours, and see if there is any change. There is a possibility if just got stuck in a bootloop on on the splash screen, and you killed the battery that way. But you haven't provided enough information for us to really know (what step it stalled on, what was on the screen, etc.).

Bootloop problem. Cannot access recovery. Cannot restart.. One X

Hey
I just got a huge bootloop while attempting to flash new Venom Room to my HTC One X. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236
I cannot access the recovery.. After restart (power button+volume down) i can get to bootloader section, but when i try to get into recovery, the phone just restart and stop on the white htc screen.
I already tried to reinstall recovery. Installation was successful, but the problem persists..
Before i had Incert Coins room.
The phone is unlocked, new recovery is installed
Please, help

If you had Insert Coin working on your phone, you have an international (Tegra3) version of the One X. This forum (and the Venom ROM you linked) are for the Snapdragon S3 version. Completely different hardware.
If I'm correct, you flashed a ROM for the wrong phone. Try running the RUU for your phone, but if that doesn't work you may be screwed. Recovery partitions are not the same for the versions. The ROM overwrote the recovery partition of your phone.

You are right.. It WAS the wrong rom.. I have tegra3 processor and this rom comes from american section..
But - is the RUU reinstall only one thing what i can do? I heard its dangerous

RUU just returns your phone to the stock condition. Stock ROM and stock recovery. There should be nothing dangerous about it. Just use the right one for your version, carrier, etc. But the CID check should ensure that you don't run the wrong RUU (if RUU is for a different CID, the RUU will not run).
Only thing with RUU, is that it wipes all user data. That may be why you heard its "dangerous". But in the condition you are in, this is not even a consideration anymore.
RUU is not dangerous, and it may be your only hope at this point.
You will need to lock your bootloader before running the RUU.

I've relocked bootloop. But now there is an information "RELOADED, Security Warning"
Will be safe to flash stock RUU now?

ohh, its Relocked.. Im just a bit nervous right now hoping it will unbrick this phone..
Just 3min to complete RUU download.
Do U guys think this stock RUU will rewrite the partitions back?

I've noticed another problem.
Cannot load RUU because the battery level is lower then 30%.
But when i plug the charger the light doesnt flash. It starts to flash when i switch on the phone.
Also cannot switch the phone with the power button. It restart all the time. Only can do that from bootloader command "power down". But when the phone is off the power light doesnt flash..
Does it mean that the battery is not charging at all? Because the light can flash only because the power is low..

The phone shut down completly now.. Does not charge the battery at all.. Power gone off and i cannot even turn on the phone..
Is there any solution how to make it charge?

Ok, the problem is that the wrong ROM i tried to install changed partition and also it seems it destroyed Recovery..
Without recovery the phone cannot charge while being in bootloader mode...
Is there any way to make phone charging when Recovery doesnt work and cannot be flashed?
Please help

Take the phone apart. I mean all the way spart and hardwire a charger to the phone/ battery. Its a pain but you can do it.

Ohh..
I found a treat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084
There is a way to charge battery by running the script, which makes phone reinstalling constantly. Each time it is reinstalled, the battery is charged a little bit more.
After mayby 40min i went up from 3686 V to 3720 V.
It seems that my only hope is to reinstall RUU. I tried to flash wrong ROM, from wrong model and as one user wrote above, it has rewritten my partition. Same time it destroyed recovery.. I cannot flash recovery now because the partition is rewritten...
And without working recovery i cannot charge the battery being in bootloader.. If i understand it all correctly.
I already tried to install RUU with 3710 V. It started to install, but stopped after few min with information that battery is too low..
So i think ill leave this script running for a whole night, and hope, in the morning battery will be charged just enough to install RUU eventually..
Uff

Okey, finally its fixed..
After 7 hours of constant reinstalling the phone by the script, the battery was loaded enough to finish RUU instalation process.. (battery went to about 3830mV power)
After oryginal RUU was installed, everything went fine.
Now i already re-unlocked the bootloader, re-rooted the phone and all works correctly.
Thanks all people who helped. Mostly to redpoint73, who diagnosed the problem straight away and put me on the right track.

Random shut downs

Hello guys, i've got serious problem here. My phone shuts down for no reason ( or i don't know which one is ) after using any application over 10 minutes ( games, web browser, forum app like tapatalk, etc.. ). I tried already battery trick ( putting piece of credit card on battery so i could have better contact with pins ) and still experiencing same problem, i installed 3.6 Sense based ROM ( ARHD ) down from 4.0.1 ( Viper ROM ) and guess what... still getting shut downs... What should i do? Buy new battery, factory reset, or something else?
Please help, thanks in advance!
P.S. I did some research on this subject, could not find answer on my problem.
My phone spec:
HTC Sensation z710e
ARHD ROM , all default settings ( no overclock, default kernel, audio )
Tried cm.10 , elegancia, viper and same problem on them all.

the only one i can think is that your battery probably is dying

Yea, i forgot to describe what happens after shut downs. So while running some app with XX% battery after shut down ( no reboot, no freeze, just bang... turned off ) it shows 1% or 2% left or sometimes XX%...and the only way to turn it back on is via cable connected to PC or wall charger, it's impossible to turn it on in any other way.

i think that when you are trying to switch it on the battery is not capable to provide enough power or while you are using apps and the cpu takes place so the apps can run then needs more power for it
maybe is that the reason too that you can switch on the device while connected to pc or charger
i think you should try a different battery

Search for RUU. You will find everything you need to know including links to download the files and instructions on how to use them.
Basically an RUU is like a reset button for the phone. It will wipe EVERYTHING off the device and replace it with exactly what came on the phone when you bought it. Just make sure you get the correct one. There are different RUU's for different carriers and regions.

I'm assuming that those 2 options you listed are the proper ones for your region. If that is correct, then it doesn't matter which you flash. Both of them should work.
The first one is probably the original Gingerbread ROM that came with the phone. The second one looks like it's the ICS update that came out last year.
It depends on what you want to do.
