Charging Loop?!?! Need Help

Hello! I wasn't able to find anything on this so I'm wondering if my phone is defective...
My phone is stuck in a loop...
1.I plug the phone in it will charge for 5 minutes then try to start up
2.The charging will stop during the boot up (on it own)
3.I imagine there's not enough battery power so the phone will shut off
And this will go on in a continuous loop. Also I can't stop it from booting up so that makes it worse...
I just bought the phone and let the battery drain down the for the first time and it started looping this way. Very odd. I have 2 other HTCs (8925 and 8525) and never had this problem...
So I'm wondering is it
1. The Software (config)
2. The Battery
3. The phone
I've searched the internet and it seems like I'm the only one having this problem...
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hmmmmmm sounds like a bad phone, I'd return it to your carrier if possible

i had a simular situation w/ my mda...i was on vacation, and when the battery drained, it wouldnt take a charge...the problem was that i was using my girlfriends motorola charger which wasnt strong enough charge a completly drained mda battery...
just ensure you are using the charger that came w/ the phone, as many figure (as did i) that one mini-usb charger is as good as another...
hope that helps...

Having the same issue, my Pro2 charges for couple of minutes than reboots and also the battery won't take a full charge so can Hard Reset .
Anyone else resolved this issue

Try booting your phone without the battery, so it doesn't need to charge

Thanks alot it turned out to be the USB cable. It was defective I was using the charger for my 8925 and it was working no problem but when I switch back to the TP2 it didn't work!

Bricked TP2 after charging on notebook usb

Hey guys I am really scared that my TP2 is bricked after I booted android and used it a while I connected it with my notebook usb cable and charged it. I had 51% at the beginning. After 10 minutes I had 67% and 5minutes later it reboots without doing anything! And since then it never starts again! When I press power button it does nothing! Only when connecting to a charger it boots up but only in bootloader mode and crashes after about 5-15 seconds!
Can someone pleeeeeeease help me?!?!?!

Have you plug it in to a wall, sounds like your battery its completly empty, happened to me the other they, it didnt have enough juice to boot up. plug it to a AC( wall plug) and see if that works.

No badly not...I don´t know anybody who has a tp2 and the battery of my hd2 didn´t fit in of course
Is there any way to completely reset everything because it is always booting in bootloader when I connect with charger and then putting the battery in. When the battery is inside and I connect the charger nothing happens and when I put the power button there also happens nothing!

You could try the T-mobile store and see if they can let you test one out,
as for the reset you can try Hard reset by pressing POWER+SEND+END buttons then when the screen comes up hit VOLUME UP key.
But definetly try a new battery frist if you can.
Edit: Also when you charge it does the LED comes on?

Yes i saw that so i should load a rom fine.
you could try HTC site

or maybe the T-mobile site over there might have it?

the Rhod210 is the US version of it, donno if the you can use that one. if anything you could HArd-SPL again and do a custom rom.

Oh, that blows. im trying to read the error but its kind of difficult, if anything you could try to post in the Wimo ROm development section or General, they might have a better inside of the error.
Edit. i think the error says
"Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again "
try this and see if it works.
1. Download orginal rom from HTC.com
2. Remove HTC Battery
3. Remove SD-Card
3. Connect the Phone to USB-Computer
4. Start-up the phone in the Tree-color screen
5. If everything is right, in the bottom you will see USB
6. Start-up the update on your computer (rom you've downloaded from htc.com)
7. Run the Update
8. Your phone will boot after it succesfull install
9. Place the battery and SD-Cart back in the Phone

I have the exact same problem from running Haret while plugged into AC power thinking it was charging, but obviously it wasn't. Never trust the battery meter in the Android ports. They are so far out it's just dangerous if this is the result of a dead battery whilst running it in my opinion.
My problem is identical to yours, even the error code on the bootloader. I can get it charged to a point where the bootloader will stay on for a maximum of about 8 seconds, but I can't get any more charge into it than that.
What you need to do (I hope) is to charge your battery in some other way. I have bought a battery charger from eBay HERE (still waiting for it at the moment), or if possible, you could get hold of another battery that is already charged, another TP2 to charge your battery, or a desktop cradle that has a second battery charging port. I'm pretty confident that it if I can charge the battery I can reflash and all will be OK. Doesn't have to be a stock rom, as long as you can get a "good" flash.
The phone won't charge the battery in bootloader, and you can't get into anything other than bootloader for a few seconds, right? I started a thread in the General section HERE and got some promising replies. It's what I expected anyway. No charge in the battery = unable to boot or reflash. I believe it is a direct result of running Android with low battery, so I won't be doing that again any time soon!
Nothing else that anyone else has suggested above will work. Obviously, it goes without saying that I am grateful for the suggestions, but I've tried it all. It is impossible to reflash due to the bootloader-reset-bootloader loop, impossible to hard reset, or turn off to charge when the phone is off, or anything else until there is more charge in the battery. Hope this helps. I will post an update on my thread when I have the charger and let you know if it has worked. I'm about 90% sure it will though.

Makes seense if battery didnt have enough juice while he did a hard reset/flash it would of couse that error.
Good Luck! let us know if that battery charger you got fix the problem.

Think my phone is bricked now :(

My phone won't turn back on or charge anymore. The last thing i did was pause Google Music, then the phone just sat there. It wouldn't go to the home screen or anything, it froze. I pulled the battery and now it won't turn on or charge at all. Won't display the battery charging when i have it connected to the computer or wall. Can't enter fastboot either. I'm currently at work and the computers here wont recognize it when i connected via USB.

mhm motherboard sudden death..? it doesnt seems to be a brick.

I doubt it's bricked. Will it start up into the bootloader?

Again, try pulling the battery for a few minutes. Then put everything back together but wait until you have access to a true USB charger, not a USB port on a computer. I've noticed with a few phones in the past (GNex included) that sometimes when I had a bad crash and the phone went unresponsive, that trying to get a hint of life while using a USB port didn't work as well as a charger. You'll probably have to leave it plugged in for a little bit, but after 15-30 minutes you should once again at least get the white battery charging icon to display front-and-center if you give the power button a single push. At that point, try booting into fastboot, then recovery and clean things up a bit before rebooting into android (Wipe Caches, Fix Permissions).
If not, seriously, do everything again, and wait with it charging overnight. I had a similar issue with my Nexus 10 after doing my first unroot and flashing on it. It took nearly an hour, but then I finally got the charging icon (in that case though, a battery pull wasn't feasible).

Yeah i tried all of that since 1 pm yesterday, that's when it just died on me. I have left the phone charging for over an hour and still don't get any sign of life, not even the white battery charging icon. Left the phone charging overnight, that didn't work also. I tried the OMAP fix but that also failed, it isn't recognized by my laptop.

That's a bummer. Once I had an Epic 4G that I also thought was bricked but the "leave it charge overnight" method worked even though the charging led wasn't on at all. I'm surprised that I now have seen an actual thread with a truly bricked device, not the usual "my phone is going into boot loops its bricked!" thread. Sorry to hear it man.
This may be irrelevant to you, but mine is on verizon and was having charging problems. I went into one of their stores and they had a replacement on the way in under 15 minutes of me coming in. Great service from them if that's who you're with carrier-wise.

Everything was working perfectly on mine, the battery was at 80%. I'm with T-Mobile and i know they don't carry the Galaxy Nexus. Would a Verizon store let me check if a new battery will be turn it back on? If not, guess i have no other choice but to call Samsung =/

[Q] Phone won't charge

Hello, I've been having this issue before but I always managed to start the charging process after few tries with battery calibration (power + volume up and down for 2 minutes).
But since yesterday I'm unable to start charging and I've spent hours trying to fix it. It just blinks red few times, then turns off for a short while, then again starts blinking and repeats.
I've followed the guide at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084 but it didn't solve the issue. It's not charging fast enough to get to fastboot via USB 3.0, and while it does work when you charge it from the wall it still doesn't stay in fastboot for longer than 5 or so seconds. I can't even get to recovery.
The thing is, my phone won't charge ONLY when it turns off due to low battery (which happens often since One X has a really crappy battery and I use it heavily at work). Normally it charges just fine.
I've started having issues after I accidentally got it wet, although it worked for a couple of months after the incident.
I am planning to buy a new phone as soon as I can get my hands on either Note 3, G2 or Z1, but for now I'd like to fix it since it will be weeks before I can get a new phone and I could give this to my sister.
Perhaps a new battery would solve the issue? I'm a bit scared to replace a non-replacable battery.
I don't care about warranty, it's already expired according to my carrier (6 month warranty on battery while the phone has 2 years warranty, but it has a non-replacable battery and opening it would void the 2 year warranty - where's the logic in that?).
Anyway, any suggestions on how to make the damn thing charge for now without making any hardware changes to it? I just need like 4-5% so I can boot it and leave it charging from there. In case someone asks, I tried different chargers.

There are no significant problems with the battery of the X. Maybe it's a little too small for the screen and its posibilities, so it could drain a little fast, but then again it's a nice sleek device.
It's probably because you got it wet... It takes a while before corrosion starts.
The method you mention should charge the battery, but you have to leave it rebooting for at least half a day. Maybe longer.

Well the problem is I can't use that method because the battery is empty and I can't keep it in bootloader.
Would a new battery help or is the phone completely screwed up?

That was happen after upgrading to 4.2.2./Sense5? or was suddenly with another Rom?

So you say you are too short in bootloader to start the script, cause the script causes also reboots, that's necessary to charge, cause in bootloader the phone doesn't charge, only in the small time of going off and on again. So if you manage to start the script in the period of entering bootloader, it might work.
Good luck!

No it happened after the phone ran out of juice. I wasn't upgrading anything. I've had the same custom rom for like a half year or so (Mike's).
These issues started happening after I got it wet. But before I was able to charge it after recalibrating battery a few times.
It refuses to charge only when the phone is off or in bootloader.

I can't. I can get it to bootloader for like 5-7 seconds only when it's charged from the wall.
When it's connected to USB 3.0 it won't run at all.

Have you tried another PC with USB 2.0 port?
And with the phone at the wall charger, you could reboot before the 5-7 seconds are over, so it charges a little during reboot, and slowly gain some extra power to get the script running.
Otherwise you could try a repair center.

It might take a while to reboot it so many times. I don't have the patience

Z5 Premium - Bricked - Red light flashing on charger - Not charging

Hello,
I've tried to solve this on another thread but was instructed to make a new thread to get more visibility.
Last night I set the latest update to start 5am. I had about 50-70% battery and the phone was connected to nearly full 13000mAh power bank.
This morning when I woke up I was wondering why doesn't the power bank indicate any charging light so I picked my phone and it was dead. I clicked power bank and it started charging. So the thing what happened here was that the phone started updating and somehow rejected the charging current of the power bank which made the power bank to stop charging. After that the phone started updating firmware, drained all battery and got bricked.
You might ask why the hell would I use power bank when I update firmware? Well, it does automatically charge when I plug it in, so it should have stayed on all the time. It also provides enough power to charge the phone for more than 2 times, so I would consider it as being same as being charged from a regular charger, because its also as fast so has quite the same charging current. It is a mystery how did the phone reject charging current and how did not the power bank start recharging as fast as possible.
The problem
The phone is being bricked. I have charged it today about 3 hours with power bank, 1,5 hours with computer and now around 4-6 hours with regular charger. If I try to hold reset / power / volume- / volume+ / power & volume+ / power & volume- any of those for at least 10 seconds, nothing happens. Only thing that happens is the red led stops blinking and stays on red when I hold power. Sony companion wont recognize it. I accidentally tried to fix firmware which orders to hold vol- and then connect but it doesn't connect. The reason this was an accident is that I absolutely do not want to lose all my files, so I need to somehow get my firmware working again without losing pictures, videos or text messages (notes there) or voiding my warranty. So luckily I didn't manage to get the fix firmware to work cuz it should delete everything. Also pressing reset for 2 minutes does the same so I discard that option for now. The battery should be full by now, I have also tried changing the charger after I noticed I had 2 identical Sony chargers one charging power bank and another on this z5p and only that one charging power bank was hot and another one charging phone was maybe a little warm. After I changed them the situation became opposite.
Is there anything I could do to save my files and make this crap work again? It is quite frustrating now because the most important thing are my files, not even the overpriced phone (and I guess factory reset can get it work but thats the last option, I absolutely need those files:crying
PS. sorry for so long story.

sorry for the typos.
Now the charger is only a little warmer than room temperature, but still blinking red and not responding.

From what I understanded before, I thought you charged 7 hours directly to an outlet, but you switched between powerbank, and pc too?
Well this is kind of my mistake because I said try connecting it to pc in between.
After reading this more detailed explanation, I would strongly suggest to just leave it charging directly to an outlet.
For atleast about 6-8 hours just as a first try to try to solve the issue (hopefully) without having to take more desperate measures lol.
So start with charging again, sorry for the misunderstanding.... it is partially or maybe mostly my fault :silly:
Post back here tomorrow

Thanks for still helping me out here
I'll leave it charging "from the wall". However power bank also provides high power and I'm worried about the charger temperature, so could it just charge it very very slow cuz no heat is building up. Anyways, it should have charged like 3 times by now but ill give it 10 hours now. Ill update here later what happens.

No problem, I kmow how it sucks to have a bricked phone.
I just did a quick research on XDA and found this thread: http://forum.xda-develaopers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
it is really alot to read... but if you want to have the best chance to unbrick your phone and hopefully still have all your files, I think you should read it before you take any other drastic actions.
I think this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33032165&postcount=2 is the most interesting for you
You will need flashtool to save your phone, but this doesn't automatically means you have to flash the full firmware (which will erase all files on the phones internal storage).
I know you are hesitant to use flashtool but at some point I think you have no other options sometimes.
BUT.... dont worry, MAYBE you are lucky and just flashing the kernel part of the firmware might fix your problem.
Im not going to add it here as I dont want to be the one to blame when accidentally providing the wrong file for your phone lol.
So I think you should read that guide and see what exactly applies to your issue, and then before you do anything just ask in that thread for help.
Start by telling you aren't even familiar with flashtool yetso they can help you faster. And let them help you to (if needed) correctly flash the correct kernel file to your device.
I think they can help you much better than me, because they have more knowledge,
and know better how to put all info it into context to make it understandable for people who aren't really familiar with al this.
Also it saves me alot more typework lol.
Ill still keep an eye to your thread to see if you manage to fix your brick and maybe answer (some questions) when I have time.
Better to just ask questions in the recovery thread, but who knows... if you post double and Iknow the answer, ithat would be luck and get you back into your phone faster hopefully
Enough writing for today..... your welcome :silly:
Good luck, be patient, and dont worry (like they also mention in the recovery guide)

Ok it has been charging for about 12 hours extra now, total 24h. Still blinking red. not connecting to PC, still reacting to hold power / hold power and hold vol - with continuous red. Reset wont do anything.

Copied from above linked thread:
YOU NEED TO RESET YOUR PHONE!
If your phone is soft-brick and does nothing when, -the buttons are pressed, -a charger is plugged in, -or if the screen is still ON then....
The memory chips need lose power to clear the bad data and reset the phone. Either by the battery going dead or by unplugging the battery.
You can to leave the phone on a charger to see when the battery dies. Usually the battery will not charge in a soft-brick state and will die while still plugged in. After the reset you should then get the red led. However if you get a red led immediately when first plugged in and no response but red led for a long time, then you may need to leave the phone unplugged and let the battery die.
Only after the chips reset will you get the red led. The RED LED should mean the phone is charging in 'low battery level charge mode'.
Once you get the red led, after the reset, do NOT try to turn on the phone. If you try to start the phone now without fixing the problem you will have to start all over.
So maybe if keeping it plugged for so long doesn't work, leaving it unplugged and wait for the battery to die will help?
Ask for more help in the thread I linked

Was bored @ school, so was looking for some more easy to follow info for you.
Have a look at this thread too, mainly im talking about just trying to see if flashtool can reccognize the phone and if not, read and follow the driver install section and see if that changes anything

I'm sure you can get your phone working again but you have to take the time to read threads and try everything you can
Okay. Let us know when you got it back from repair shop

Ok its ready to pick up from repair. They coudln't fix it. Lets take a look at those threads.
I don't know but I guess the service dude checked if the battery was dead? But still I'm thinking that it could be one possibility.

Hey
Im not very suprised they couldn't fix it.
I wonder though if they even did anything, so you should ask them about what they did.
Once you have your phone back, I would start with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19684920&postcount=2
If this doesn't help, you can proceed with the other threads I linked in earlier posts and give them a careful read

@XperiassinceZ1
Haven't heard in a while, I assume this means your phone is fixed or?
Was just curious lol.
