I'm stuck and I need your help!
My HTC Mozart does not anymore get a battery charge since I did the following: 1. Gold card method to downgrade the bootloader, 2. Applied RSPL & HSPL, 3. Flashed a custom ROM (Nextgen)
It's really weird, it won't anymore charge. I of course tried several cables and chargers, as well as other phones. It will only charge when the phone is switched off, that is for a few seconds before it switches on again. I tried a hard reset, also flashed another custom rom; the only way it works again is when I flash an official rom
If you got a clue, please let me know, as it's quite desperate.
One thing I found strange during the gold card downgrade: I forgot to patch the rom. Still, all the steps went on successfully, so I don't see how this could cause the issue I now have with the charging.
Thanks!
Tried again and again. Phone charges well with official ROMs, but not with custom ROMs.
What can it be, anyone..?

I still haven't found a solution to my problem. Anyone got a clue?
The sIII has awesome USB otg support stock but on cm10 and aokp this doesn't seem to he the case.
All of the touchwiz based roms. (beans, cleanrom, and synergy)
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks! I wish aokp supported it but I will make do.
I tried almost every tw based rom including beans custom rom, synergy and cleanrom. None of them seemed to react to my on the go cable. The cable works fine in my friend's bone stock s III. Am I doing something wrong?
Confirmed working on CleanRom, but like the above said, I believe any stock-based/TW rom should work. I've used both an OTG usb cable and a micro-to-full usb adapter (which wasn't labeled as OTG) and both worked for me.
What are you trying to use it with? Some higher-drain devices may need a separate power source.
A 4gb flash drive and a wireless keyboard/mouse. Nothing that didn't work before root and rom flashing. Thanks for your help!
i have unlocked my boot loader i have rooted and i have s-off!
the attached images give my complete firmware info:
i have noticed that my phone feels very stable but somewhat less on performance and battery life.
besides there are strange things i have observed (which happened even before rooting)
a) that my battery takes a lot of time to recharge!
b) at times it wont make it up to 100% will be stuck at 99%
c) and if i power off my device and start it up it just drastically reduces by 10% or so
also my phone doesn't heat up it much 34 C is the temp i see in those battery monitoring apps and the battery drop is stable when the phone is not used. And power saver doesn't make much difference!
so i wanted to flash a kernel..
ttherefore i wanted to ask which kernel will work with my present firmware?
and
how to flash a kernel?
any guide about kernels which will help me get through can also work!:good:
PS m a complete noob but trying to learn things so some detailed help regarding the procedure will be appreciated!:angel:

What is a "long time"? Can you be more specific? Mine usually charges for near empty to full in maybe 1.5 to 2 hours.
Rooting and S-off won't effect charge time or battery life. Going to Sense 5 might has some effect on battery life (I personally haven't seen a significant change), but would not have any effect on charge time, per se. But if there is fast battery drain, then the phone will take longer to charge, if you are charging with the phone on (as many of us do).
Are you on the 2.15 firmware? You might be having a signal issue affecting battery drain.

How many times did you charge the phone after updating to Sense 5? It takes at least one full discharge/charge cycle after updating the ROM, for the battery meter to be accurate.
Also, charging will automatically shutoff once the battery is charged (this is a mandatory safety feature). Then once the charge has dropped a bit, it will top off again. So I've often seen it drop to 99% while on the charger.

Probably just a metering error, and the new reading is the correct one. I've seen this happen to myself and others when rebooting the phone. Although, it shouldn't be common. Although might be, if you haven't calibrated the meter properly as I mentioned above.

I beleive Beastmode is your only choice for Sense 5 ROMs at the present time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165880
Just download to your phone, and flash in recovery. Wipe cache and Dalvik after flashing, then reboot.

Thanks a lot for your reply.:good:
it takes 2 hours to charge.. slightly more...
i have read people saying getting a 2 0r 3% battery drop in 5 hours or so.. for me its around 6% an hour..
i dont play games...i have removed unecessary apps some bloatware.. i dont use greenify module or set cpu etc.. besides my usage is normal.. and "auto sync" and blink feed is off.. its only whats app messenger but even thats not on auto sync
i use 3g for data plans... thats pretty much about my usage.
about the kernel you recommended is it compatible with my present scenario (ie firmware and 4.2.2 etc)
and it wont affect anything like the "sim(carrier unlock), bootloader,radio etc" [m sorry as i said m a newbie] ?
and which version of beastmode exactly u will recommend?

That sounds pretty normal. I assume the phone is on when you are charging, so if you are seeing higher battery drain on Sense 5, then this will of course affect charge time (1 step backward for every 2 steps forward, so to speak).
So if you are seeing slower charging on Sense 5 than before, it might not be charging time per se, but a battery drain issue.

2-3% per 5 hours seems extremely low. I can get 48 hours on a charge with low usage (phone mostly with the phone idle), on WiFi at home and LTE at work. So about 2% per hour. And I haven't heard reports of battery life much better than that, unless you turn the phone to airplane more or otherwise turn off the data network, which of course will greatly extend battery life but makes the phone much less useful.
And many people have battery life much worse than I've just stated (2% per hour while idle). It depends a lot on how you use your phone, and your location/reception. Drain of 6% per hour with the phone idle is not unheard of, probably even pretty common. When you say 6% per hour, is that with the phone idle and screen off? Is this much different than before you were on Sense 5?
One important question: How did you get on Sense 5? Was it by OTA, or did you flash a custom or stock rooted ROM from Development?
If you flashed a ROM, did you install the 2.15 firmware? This is not to be confused with the OS or ROM, but the 2.15 firmware contains the Sense 5 hboot, radio, as well as several other modules.
If you are not already on the 2.15 firmware, this may help. Of course, a different kernel may help also.

Of course it works on your present setup. I already said its the kernel to use for Sense 5, and I wouldn't be recommended it to you if it didn't work on your setup.
Some folks are saying to flash Beastmode version 2.0, reboot, than flash 3.5. But I assume that many folks do just fine flashing the latest 3.5 version.
Flashing a kernel will not touch the radio or bootloader. Also, SIM unlock survives just about anything.

Well thats the mystery part. I had purchased this phone from ebay from a local vendor. I live in India as HTC one XL is not available all over the world this phone was 'sim/carrier unlocked' to work with the gsm service providers in India( a known fact) Interestingly when i checked it already came with Sense 5 and 4.2.2 and guess what also with the "SOFF" and "Unlocked Bootloader" as well as Super Cid (11111111) the rom however was not rooted it dint have any custom recovery flashed everything else was stock. Every HTC app worked.
so with this background i obviously thought that it may have some ported rom of sense 5 or a custom rom like 'magio' not 'clean rom 7' since it had some htc bloatware (not carrier bloatware) BUT then it dint have any trace of the developer or a signature or anything that could help me to actually understand which rom I am running!
it has hboot version 2.15.0000 and radio i1.30a.32.45.18
now its not a assembled or a fake version i used many apps like Setc cpu ,An tutu,Trickster Mod(every htc sync manager recognizes it) and it gives the detailed version of hardware which is the one that htc one Xl has so its definitely genuine and legit besides it has an 'imei number.
So that's what i m confused about!! I believe its from Asia hong kong or some where probably! Buts its definitely geniune

I read the thread much of it.. I guess the 3.5 version is jus the 3.0 version with Aroma,surprisingly when i flash try to flash it with TWRP 2.6 it says "FAIL"
besides the developer also mentioned to rename two files in the bin folder with" _old" as an extension does it need to be done with the latest kernel version?
and m a bit scared to do so because many have reported that the file for WiFi fix is missing!
About the battery thanks a ton for the explanation M really happy its normal.. and many apps do say that the health is good so YAY!! =)
now the only reason for flashing a kernel will be to get the extra juice out of my Snapdragon S4!!
*excited*

How long ago did you purchase the phone? It seems to me that the seller has just loaded a stock ROM on it before selling it. You're lucky though, you've ended up with a phone that's already unlocked and already s-off, win win.
I may be wrong but I think the renaming of those files was only applicable to an older version of the kernel. I've flashed 3.0 (3.5 is exactly the same kernel but with an updated/different aroma installer) without renaming them a few times and have no issues. I saw someone mention that after the kernel install failed, that fixing permissions in recovery/advanced and then flashing the kernel worked.

There's nothing wrong with being enthusiastic, and I always encourage people who actually want to learn how to modify their device. The ondemand governor should be fine, I've always used that or intellidemand (on the kernels that have it).
You can try flashing 2.0 before 3.5 or you can just try fixing permissions in recovery before just flashing 3.5, apparently either way works. I've never been a huge fan of benchmarks, but Zarboz asked me to do a couple while we were testing the Beastmode kernel, and apparently the result was half decent. I'll attach a screenshot in a minute.

was the benchmarking app quadrant?
well it does seem good though like personally m a bit skeptical about benchmarks as they give a different result every time BUT what matters to me is the feedback the kernel has which is really great.

It has the version number (5.05.707.1) and baseband for the Singapore/Singtel Sense 5 OTA. So I'm going to guess that the seller actually RUU'ed to stock and than OTA'ed to the latest official OS, which is actually pretty impressive (went a bit beyond the call of duty, as a seller).
If this is true, all the 2.15 firmware modules should be installed, and you shouldn't need to mess with those.

Well, its not a sure thing (my assumption on how the phone go to Sense 5). But its the likely scenario.
I'd say all is legit. I wouldn't expect there to be any signal issues due to mismatched firmware modules, as it appears that hboot, radio, and other modules are updated to 2.15 versions meant for the Sense 5 stock ROM.
Although, a few folks have reported poor reception on the Sense 5 radio (baseband), and getting better reception by flashing an older radio. But I think most people are going to see better performance with the newest (Sense 5) radio. Unless you have a reason to believe that reception is an issue, I'd leave it alone.
Any ROM meant for the EVITA will work on your phone (they are not region dependent). The one hitch, if the APN for your carrier is not included on the custom ROM, you will have to enter the APN info manually. But this is a minor issue. And if you already have the phone running on the stock Sense 5 ROM, it looks like you've already figured this out (or it was done for you).
There is also presently an exception, in that some AOSP ROMs do not play well with hboot 2.15. But each AOSP ROM will likely be compatible as the individual developers update their ROMs.

Ya Timmaaa had also mentioned that PAC man in particular is not compatible with 2.15... Access Points ya i can do that..
Reception has been good.... it was the same i had on my earlier cell!
i have to thanks the seller though.. Nice job done..
btw does the clean rom or magio for that matter have any at&t or telstra stuff!?
for clean rom its mentioned i guess anyways i can remove that,coz its actually of no use?
MagioRom has no carrier bloatware at all, it's been removed. I haven't run the new Cleanrom but I think Scott usually removes the bloatware too.

CleanROM 7 is actually based on the German T-Mobile stock ROM, but as scrocler says in the top post of the CleanROM thread "infused with AT&T settings!" Probably due to the fact that some 60% of One X/XL users here are on AT&T (based on a survey by Turge), and some things don't always play quite well on AT&T's network without AT&T build.prop, signal icons etc. Although, the stock German ROM is working fantastic for me on AT&T.
I haven't flashed the latest CleanROM either, so I'm not actually sure what AT&T aspects are present or not. You can read through the CleanROM thread, or post the question there. Or just flash it, and see for yourself.
I think scrosler is working on an AROMA version of CleanROM 7, in which case you may be able to customize what AT&T features are included or not.
when trying to install beast mode kernel i was stuck in bootloop so i went into twrp and by mistake wiped everything (i was such a fool my sddata along with my nandroid back up) got erased so i had no os..
when i rebooted it was again in bootloop
so i first flashed twrp
then i mounted usb storage and copied cyanogen mod {cm-10.0.0-evita} and flashed it!
{the version i downloaded was the only tsbale version}
it booted up and now my touch screen nor the capacitive buttons work please tell me what to do??
rilly messed up!
Build: 10..27, TWRP 2.7.0.1, cm-11-20131213, pa-gapps-4.4.4
Some months ago I upgraded to cm11, kitkat 4.4. The nightly 809, m9 upgrade broke my wifi, and the tablet wont recognize my oem charger.
when booting i receive the error: key driver has not been found.
I can still trickle charge. After the bad version of m9, I tried installing an older version over the top as some had recommended. Now, with a full data wipe, and installing the above zips, my wifi is still broken, and still wont charge properly.
I need to start from square one, but now I am afraid to mess with it. Please, any help will be appreciated.
Cheers,

Shameless bump.
Could someone at least get me going on this?
I am going on vacation in 2 days and my tablet isn't working. Seriously balls.
How do I get the wifi working again? Why wont it recognize the charger properly?

There is a known bug with M9 that cause the wifi to not work. However, it will not damage your hardware in any way, its just that the LIB file for the wifi was named incorrectly so it will not load it.
I would wipe everything besides your SD card, then flash the newest nightly and newest PA gapps. If you flash the full modular as shown below it will let you keep the CM keyboard and CM browser.
Let me know if that doesn't work.

PS: as for the charger, this shouldn't be related. If reflashing doesn't work I would order a new charge cable from amazon.
