rom version 1.06.sprint
radio 3.37.10
HELP PLEASE

sounds like a faulty battery

thanks
thanks i will try that

Seriously man, two threads?

Wait, wait, wait...The ROM version is 1.06sprint? That sounds like a custom ROM to me without the proper radio. I think you shoud try reflashing the ROM.

Nope, three!

If some roms get flashed on to a 6900 (touch) without upgrading the bootloader. They will continuely reboot! But this does not explain to me why it doesn't reboot while it's plugged in?
Thoughts:
I know that while flashing the phone, it is not charging (there are no charging drivers running)
I don't know what the issues are exactly with the reboot i'm talking about. But there might be some charging issues your incountering.
Make sure your bootloader is newer at least 2.31 But I too believe it's just the battery...........
If you go into the power menu you can see the battery status. It will tell you if it is actualy charging and The batterys charge level.
FEW things: If the battery says full. While looking at it. Unplug it if it drops fast then shuts down (most likely the battery)
If the battery says 0% (most likely the battery)
If it says not charging or no battery (again most likely the battery)
KEEP IN MIND! That all of this information your phone is telling you is CONTROLED by the formentioned drivers!! Sooooo that being said. If all hardware is good. Your Best bet is to reflash with a stock rom my preferred is alltel. let all customizations run!
This will update your phone so that all things will work IE gps,CHARGING DRIVERS, Ect.
Here's the alltel Rom:
http://member.america.htc.com/downl...3.10.671.1_RS3.42.30_NV2.02_PRL30031_SHIP.exe
And then make sure you use an unlocker like cokeman's 2.31 before you flash any custom roms.
P.s some stock roms Relock your phone(which means you can't flash a custom rom) so it's a good idea to just unlock it before hand, If your not sure!!
Good Luck!!
Question:
Does it reboot when you unplug it or just shut down? Let use know how you turn out this can be useful for people!!
P.S.S The unlocker is the bootloader updater.

Hard SPL not working?

So I'm having problems installing Hard SPL (Olinex Unsigned). The phone is connected w/ Active-sync to my computer, and all of those required "steps" to check before you begin flashing were there. It takes just a few seconds for the HardSPL to install, and it says "congratulations...", so I assumed it went well. However, when it boots up, it says NOTHING about Olinex. Instead, when I'm on the boot screen, it has red letters, the lower ones stating my normal ROM build. It looks like:
R 1.00.25.5
G 1.52.29.25.12H
D 1.93 ...
I assume this is the bootloader? I held the lower volume button and hit the soft reset button to get to the bootloader, and that was the same screen it went to. However, then the ROM boots up on the phone, and it's the same intro screen as my initial ROM was. When I proceed with trying to install the HardSPL again, it tells me my current ROM is 1.93.401.2.. not Olinex.' I also tried the SSPLmanual file. No good..
Also, I realized that when I ask for it to update, Mobile Device Center loses connection w/ my phone. Maybe I am just having a problem holding a connection between the two? Activesync is turned on on my phone, and Mobile Device Center says that my phone is connected before the flash.
Has anyone had this problem before, or know how I can fix it? Thanks everyone. I've been looking around everywhere.

I'm under the impression that you are not entering your bootloader screen. Please try this again (soft reset and ASAP, press the vol down button). Keep holding it until you see Red, Green, etc.(rainbow like coloured screen) .... please report back what it says on that screen before we move on.
wow.. I suppose that did the trick. AND it DOES say that it has Olinex on it, so I guess that installed w/o a problem! Thank, I really appreciate the help. Unfortunately, I've heard many different ways to get there (mainly hold vol-down THEN press soft-reset).
One last question though.. Now that I spent a good 30 minutes installing the list of those tweaks, would I really see much of an improvement jumping to a cooked ROM? I was looking at getting AZTOR or Nataly's lite (I'm not asking which one..), but I am not sure how much of an improvement I'm looking at. I'm currently running the stock ROM as 1.93 (I guess I'm running Olinex atm). Now that I've applied all of those tweaks from that one page, is it worth it to jump to a cooked ROM?
Thanks again! That makes my day seem MUCH more successful now.

Hi I would not to back to a stock 1.93 rom even the stock 2.03 rom is a lot better in my option.

haha, so you recommend I go ahead and push my luck w/ a 2.03 cooked ROM? Will I really have to worry about all of those tweaks, or will they already be optimized in the cooked roms? Again, I'm looking at 2 that are based off of performance, so I can expect they'll already be well-tweaked, but I'm new w/ all of this.

Hi have a look here to flash from the internal storage.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3287426&postcount=10
Lately I keep like 4 cooked roms in folder on my internal storage and when I feel the need to try a new rom I just copy it to root, change name and install OS from bootloader (volDown, backButton, resetButton).
That is my identical process. Sometimes they never make it to the flashing stage but always a couple on standby...lol

[Q] Need Help with this weird One X Issue

Hi all, And my apologies if i am posting in the wrong section.
i've been searching for the solution for my problem, and so far i cudnt find one.
My HTC works fine, no screen flickering nothing at all.
what my unique problem is that, as my htc reaches to 80% charge, it starts acting like its in a red area zone. it crashes. I switch it one, and as it loads back to lock screen, it crashes again, and again and damn again , untill i put it on charge.
Initially i thought its a software bug so
i rooted my cell, installed custom rom ARHD 6.0, (didnt touch my kernal)
i was happy with the custom rom, battery got better, device became more smooth. but as it reached to 80%, bang. crashed, and crashed after every restart.
i installed LeeDroid rom and confronted the same problem again.
My uncle bought this from UK and i live in Pakistan, so replacement is out of the equation. I am not sure what should i do, even if i give this for repair, what should i ask for that? battery?
i made a video of this, please help me out.
http://db.tt/cpicQdWh
guys, anyone?
If the phone did it out of the box running stock s/w and no other apps it's h/w. Since you're rooted and have played with multiple ROMs it's hard to tell. If I were you I'd go back to the stock ROM, not load any apps, and see if the phone still has the problem. If it doesn't it's something s/w related that you've done to the phone.

I assume there is no official HTC service center available there (as there is non in Iran) in that case I suggest you do this two things before testing local unauthorized repair centers.
1- Flash the latest franco kernel (I suggest franco cause I've tested it myself, you can also use any other kernel)
2- let the battery charge up to 100% and then go to CWM recovery and wipe battery stat

i was facing this problem when i was on stock. My phone had Vodaphone UK RUU.
i contacted htc, got the following reply
With reference to your query, please kindly update your phone to the latest software version since we have released a recent update which optimizes system performance as well as battery performance.
Meanwhile, you can also follow below steps to set your phone under safe mode for monitoring:
First verify that Fast Boot is not enabled, Settings > Power > Make sure Fast Boot is not selected. To enable safe mode:
1. With the device turned off.
2. Press the power button.
3. Once the device turns press and holds the volume down, once you see the splash screen.
4. Press and hold thevolume down button (DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME DOWN).
You will know it has worked because the device will give a brief vibrate or 3 quick vibes. Once it loads you will see on the “Safe Mode” on the bottom left of the screen. This disables all 3rd party apps and drivers from launching. Use the phone normally for 24-48 hours like this. Do not use 3rd party apps or install from the market or the test will be inconclusive.
If the issue will not occur under safe mode, please uninstall the 3rd applications.
Should the problem still persist when your phone is under safe mode, please kindly back up your personal user data and follow below steps to set your phone back to factory default settings:
Settings> Storage> Factory Data Reset".
but this happened on Safe mode too, so i decided to go and get replace by the market guy, but he ..... nvm
After that i switched roms and faced the same issue

You find it in
Home> HTC One X> One X Android development
btw is this possible that my stats are incorrect, reason for asking is that. it shut downs like its out of power. and it takes ages to charge up completely even if its on 86%. I install franco, and now its on charging, it will take almost 2 hours plus to get charge completely.
I will post update after wiping battery state

[Q] Phone turns on automagically when plugged in to charger?!

Hello,
I've been having a problem with my SGH-T989, that's been bothersome. At first I thought it was hunted but it has been turning on instantly when connecting it to a wall charger or USB cable.
I first spotted this problem when flashing SlimKat rom, but soon after that I changed to Jedi Mind Tricks JB8 and the same thing keeps happening. I'm probably guessing it's because I formatted the internal storage before flashing? Maybe I have to change the kernel?
Things I've tried:
- Turned off battery saver option
- Changed roms
- Tried both USB and wall charger
- Connected it while turned off and also while on and then turned off
- Exorcism?
Please help!
If anybody has the solution to this problem, I would appreciate it if you'd share it!
What recovery are you using? I might be wrong or it may be another device i own but i think it's something to do with recovery version....
just to be sure, is the phone off and then when plugging in the charger the phone boots on instead of a battery alert showing that your receiving charge?

I'm using the latest CWM 6.0.4.3, and yeah it boots instead of showing the battery progress.
im searching but not getting results....i dont wanna say try teamwin recovery but im not expierencing that on 2.6.1....iif my memory right there wasnt a fix but for some reason i think im confusing the bug with my dell streak7
i know it was a clockwork mod version with this bug
i doubt wiping internal storage would cause this, i think boot files are on where your recovery is saved to the device....but i am atleast halfway noob ao i maybe mistaken
when i get to a pc im sure ill find a result....

Help!
what i found which isnt much but try powering down phone first and after power down then plug cable in
edit nvm seen your list lol
.....seems to be intermittant for others and sometimes corrects itself without solution....lots of posts about it but not one single reply of a solution....i searched multiple terms and 10 pages deep to no avail.....
did u manually flash ur recovery or did you use rom manager etc??
maybe reflash your recovery or change to teamwin?
one trend was that it wasn't rom related but in 2011 2012 the trend was asop roms from what i read
have you tried teamwin recovery? Idk thats what i used since i bought my s2 and have not had any issues....
i test booted both ways and had the ability to charge will off....My kids s2's stock unrooted(been slacking) charge also...
2.6.1 is the version I have used, i know there was issues with 2.6.3 but in the dev section i believe it was updated and less problems for some
try using twrp maybe its your recovery

Sorry, I came back home and didn't have any internet. But these past few weeks as I was charging my phone it sometimes did stay turned off. I only noticed this when connecting the phone to my car charger. It isn't as functional as I'd like it but it'll work. Maybe if someday I decide to change ROMs I'll try out TWRP and try posting if it worked on this post (just in case somebody with the same problem comes across this post).
Thanks to everybody!

Phone stopped charging

Im having a serious issue with charging all of a sudden. I messed with my governor and scheduler but I put everything back, wiped, uberwiped,flashed different ROMS,tried different kernels and now my phone could go from dead to fully charged in about a hour to leaving it plugged overnight and still not reaching 100%. fastcharge doesnt pop up no more and im wondering if I should unroot and go back to stock and start fresh to see if thatll solve the problem. I'm wanting to return the phone cause I cant do nothing with a phone that cant charge. PLEASE HELP. Im currently running xnote with nothing extra and tried bobcat without theme, I even tried erasing system and data with no avail. My ports are good and my cables are fine

Issue with Note 4 att (unlocked)

Hello folks,
after marshmallow update my note 4 is acting wired (freeze, restart, sometimes doesn't start etc...). Wakelock app is keeping the phone running but still phone is not performing at it's best. It is slow and sluggish etc...
For some reason if I restart the phone (for ota update etc...) it never turns on. It takes multiple attempt of soft resent and taking battery out and in to turn it on. How to fix this?
I did not make any changes to phone in any ways. I am using what ATT has provided me and recently got it unlocked from ATT. Phone is currently running 6.0.1 with February 1, 2017 security patch level.
Any help is appreciated. If there is any existing thread regarding this issue please redirect me there. I may need step by step guide if the solution includes of changing rom, kernel etc... If I have to change rom then I better be changing it to the finest available in the market.
Thanks again
You likely have an app that is causing problems. Look at settings, battery. Is anything hogging your battery use?
Either selectively uninstall apps, or do a factory reset and slowly add apps until your phone states flipping out.
I and others have had this problem, unfortunately you have to figure out what's causing your problem...
Hit thanks If this has helped you...

I was traveling last week. BTW here is the update. I switched off the phone to get it in to recovery mode... it's dead since then... It doesn't turn on.. I tried various usb cables, wall adapters, soft reset, new batteries etc... nothing is working to turn the phone on. Does this mean the phone is gone?
Any update on the device? What was happening before this happened? Turning off the device to put it into recovery shouldn't have created a catastrophic event that would have killed the phone...
Are you in the states? Are you close to a Best Buy? Many Best Buy stores have a "Samsung Experience Center" that can help you with your phone... They can apply latest updates, and do some minor technical troubleshooting...
What happens if you put a different battery in, and plug in a charger? Are you using a Samsung charger? Leave it for a few minutes, is there any indication that it is charging?
Did you, per chance, use one of those portable rechargers? Those can wreak havoc on your battery, as well as the phone's built in charging circuits...
What is the status of the device?

What happens if you put a different battery in, and plug in a charger? Are you using a Samsung charger? Leave it for a few minutes, is there any indication that it is charging?
Did you, per chance, use one of those portable rechargers? Those can wreak havoc on your battery, as well as the phone's built in charging circuits...
What is the status of the device?

Hello,
Before it turned off I have downloaded the zip file for update on sd card and then tried to put it in recovery mode to perform the steps but it never turned on. I travel alot so don't get much time to spend to do all these technical things so temporarily switched my old BB Q10. I did try different batteries, chargers, plugging it in various laptops. It's dead dude. I kind of hate ATT and Samsung now. They push an update on us which ruins the phone and then they ask if I have insurance! I mean like dude are you out of your head?
Yes I am states. I did not know that Best Buy do some troubleshooting, I will take phone to them as soon as I can and will update if they were able to solve the issue. Thanks for that suggestion.
If you didn't get into recovery mode, you didn't even start the update. Sounds like the phone died before anything happened. Just trying to put it into recovery doesn't start the update at all...
Sorry about the phone. Hope it's something simple...
For instance, I had a sticky button that made the down volume stop working. A Qtip and rubbing alcohol solved that...
Hope your phone resurrects some how.

It may be too late, but put the phone in the freezer with the battery out for 5 minutes. pull it out and put the battery in and try to turn it on. Works for me, but now everytime I need to restart my phone, it has to go into a freezer.

Just got active here again. I did try the freezer thing but didn't work for me. I have found a process where one uses USB JIG to put phones in download mode (if the battery is fully charged or charged enough) if the phone buttons are non responsive. I haveordered it from ebay. Let's hope it works. Once in download mode, I will try to flash it. Looking for the best procedure to flash it. not a technical guy.
