[Q] S-OFF succeeded, with a charging problem

Hi,
Yesterday I had my G7 s-offed using Alpharev 1.8. Now it's running with the Sense MTD, Clockworkmod 2.5.1.7 recovery, and MIUI 1.2.25 rom. It is great, but with one side effect. Whenever the phone runs out of battery and automatically turns off, it won't boot up when being charged. And even if I unplug the charger, the white charging animation continues and it still can not be turned on - the only solution is to pull the battery.
Before s-off, my G7 has been rooted using Unrevoked and running with Clockworkmod (2.5.0.1 modified by MIUI) and the MIUI rom for months. Whenever the phone powered down and got charged, it booted into the recovery, from where I can start the phone.
Does anyone have a similar problem?
Thanks a lot!

Have you tried flashing another ROM to see if the problem is still there?

You might want to search on usb brick and see if that is your problem ?

Yes, also flashed CM7RC4. And someone having the same problem said he flashed a lot of different ROMs to no avail.
It seems to me how the phone reacts to the charger when powered down should be controlled by HBOOT rather than the operating system, i.e. the rom.
Thanks for the suggestion

My phone is working fine except the charging problem. So I guess it's totally different from 'usb brick'. But it may be a good idea to have a look when I have time
Thanks for the suggestion.

[Q] Phone powers on only when charger is plugged in

Hello, I have a problem with my desire. I'm on Insertcoin latest Rom for almost a year and during this time my phone works great, no reboots or freezing, it's fast... But whenever I power it off I have too plug the charger and then the phone will start. If I don't plug it in, it won't start, it's dead and have no response. Also if I don't plug the charger and remove battery and return it in, it also doesn't start. Only with charger.
Rebooting works without charger. The battery is fine, it lasts 3-5 days, did a power off with 100% and won't start.
I was waiting for ICS to try another ROM but it still in beta and this powering problem is bothering me for some time.
I even tried different radios today and I upgraded to latest CW recovery 5.8.0.2 and did Revolutionary to HBOOT S-OFF but the problem still persists. Do you have maybe some idea on what could be the problem? I've search the forum and googled before posting and couldn't find identical problem with Desire (only worst, bricked etc.)
I have also tried clearing battery stats and davlik, also did a complete whipe and reinstalling rom again and the problem still presists...
Thank you for your answer.

Anybody?

IM IN THE SAME BOAT here...
but im on stock rom... still 2.1 eclair..

No response and this is my first post :-D
I would ask in developers insertcoin thread but I can't becaue of the 10 posts rule for newcomers... So if anyone can move my questions there I would appreciate it

long shot:
do you have a fastboot setting? it's a little while since i used a sense rom
menu->settings->power?
untick fastboot
or somewhere within the settings to untick any fastboot option (if it exists)
once again this is a long shot suggestion, may be completely wrong. looks like a strange bug.
hopefully there is some solution out there, otherwise just don't turn it off!

Wooow ,tnx man! It worked I had setting that says:
Fastboot
Turn off to use some Market apps
And this setting is unticked and I can't power it on without charger. If I tick it on, the phone starts up very fast when I power it off and it works! Without a charger!
I did find through search on xda that the fastboot could be a possible problem but I thought that mine is already off (because it was unticked). But acctualy it was on... Grrrr, what a noob am I : ))

Charging Issue !!!

Hello there,
I have noticed a strange thing with the HTC One X, when i charge my phone although i turn it off before i plug it into the power outlet it always turns back on. Am i doing something wrong? I can't find a way to charge my phone in a turned off status and it's the first time i have come across with such a problem. Could you please help me out? I use the factory charger that came with the phone device.(I am on a stock ROM, never used a custom ROM before and i have smart screen pro for notifications)
Thank you in advance,
Dinos

I have already done that but still no change,any ideas?

Okay finally found it, thanks to the xda search capability, the problem was the clockwork mod, after i flashed another recovery, the TWRP to be exact, the problem is solved. Now there is another issue, the phone still turns on but this time it boots to recovery mode. After some search, there is also a bug in TWRP which turns the phone on although previously it was turned off. I am using TWRP 2.2.2.0 and as for the CWM recovery i was using 5.8.4.0. I hope the guys at TWRP who did a great job by the way will try to fix this problem. I hope this info will help some people in the future if they happen to have the same problem as i did.

[Q] Boot problem with my p6

Hey guys,
I was running blueandroid custom rom on my p6 and it was all working fine. suddenly my phone shut down and since that moment i can't find a way to turn it on further then the huawei logo. pressing all three buttons for the forced update doesn't work. and i can't get in recovery. It simply doesn't make it till that point. sometimes it shows a random color (the whole screen) but most of the time it just shuts down at the huawei logo... i also tried fastboot but it doesn't get recognized...
could anyone help me?
i'd really aprecciate it.

Are you able to use adb?
If yes, try to flash twrp recovery via ADB.
Instructions in forum thread. (I think 2nd post)

Is your p6 low on battery? If it is, charge it up before trying to get to recovery.

It doesnt charge ( the led doesnt turn on and im pretty sure that doesnt) and i havent been able to try adb. Its also quite strange that it wont be in a stable recovery mode ( or fastboot mode) since it turn itself off after 10/20 seconds.

getting really lost
So guys,
i'm really starting to think i need to bring mine to the service center cus it's completely dead.
it won't charge, it doens't get into recovery mode, i can't flash the official firmware with the sdcart/dload/update.app way, i can't fastboot it cus it won't go in fastboot mode (the way it get stuck on the splash screen/huawei logo), and it shuts itself down after 20 seconds leaving nothing else then a black but brightened screen.....
i'm afraid i have to take full costs due my root and custom rom, if they can fix/see it at all.
it worked fine after all and shut down with no reason what makes me think this is a hardware problem.
does anyone else have any suggestions before i bring it to the service center?
thanks

Let it charge for 24 hours,see if you can turn it on after that.

Nope, the only led that ive been able to see is the red one for 1/4th of a second in SOME cases when i try to boot it.

But thats's ok, this is a common android problem, but some phone must be charged for al least two days, and after that try to flash another ROM. Even if the led is not always on, let it for a long time to charge, trust me, the power will be inside your battery, not full but enough to resist/handle a new ROM flashing.

Yea i know that... But it doesnt show the led when i charge it (so the led has nothing to do with the charging state of the phone), only in some cases when i try to boot into recovery. And the battery cant actually be totally empty, it was 40% when it totally crashed so i dont think thats the problem. And if so, it should at least get to the point where it is trying to flash the original firmware

Im trying to flash it thru the sdcard with the update.app in sdcart/dload/update.app but to do that, you have to put in a certain mode (by holding vol+ and vol- and the power button) . But once again, i cant put the phone in A state, doesnt matter which state. It just wont get in a stable mode. Thats why i cant use fastboot/adb

That button combination if for internal storage dload folder. Put your ROM on the sdcard. Enter CWM or TWRP and flash it throu there.

Already doong that for the past 48 hours

Bringing it back
So guys,
Im going to the service center in 8 hours since my phone is completely DEAD. It doest charge and it does not even react to the power button anymore... (Probably cus the battery is completely drained), it doesnt react to anything else either (usb, power net, anything) and will nog be able to fix by connecting it thru a computer. Aka its hopeless...
Thanks for the support

Ive been to the service center, got a new phone directly, so everything is solved. For the information, my problem was a (like i expected) hardware problem, and there was NO way to fix without replacing hardware.

Weird charging issues

Ever since upgrading to newest firmware using HTC fastboot (even after ruu back to stock) I have been having the weirdest charging issues. These issues occur when on qc 2.0, standard 2.0, or even standard HTC charger, different cables... Well basically my phone is not overheated right now but plugged into the wall and is not charging. I plugged it in last night everything was fine. Woke up today to 50% battery. I tried unplugging, tried powering off then plugging back in, tried booting to recovery plugging in, restarting phone, changing cords, changing power adapter... Just randomly does not want to charge then after a handle full of times just decides it wants to charge. This has happened over the course of this week and is just driving me crazy. I am s off. Rooted. Custom twrp recovery 2.8.7.0. On viper one 3.0. But this issue is persistent even when in the powered off state... I have no idea wtf could be causing this issue. Only thing I can think of is firmware or something. I don't get it. Anyone have any issues similar? Or fix? Only way is to cross my fingers and hope the connection starts a charge after a lot of plugging and unplugging. Please help thanks.

Sounds like a hardware issue not software. but not sure. just my 02. cents

If running the RUU for 1.33.605.15 doesn't solve your charging issue, my first thought would be hardware.
That said, HTC has definitely been having trouble with charging and battery issues, so we've gotta hope that the final release of 5.1 for us will resolve the problem. The currently leaked 2.6.605.10 is most likely not the version that will be released publicly.

After troubleshooting I think the charging was being stopped due to overheating while charging. In standby. Had a live wallpaper I think was causing the high Temps. Changed to normal wallpaper and disabled all but two cores and Temps have been cool and haven't had any charging issues since (fingers crossed as its only been one day lol)

Still doesn't explain off state not charging tho so idk I'll see after a few more days see if it happens again

O had a similar issue, where it would go from charging to not charging every couple of seconds. I have not had these issues with Fluent or Adrenaline. There's a post in the Adrenaline thread about how to calibrate your battery. Try that, also. FWIW, when I installed Viper after being on Fluent, and calibrated the battery, I haven't had any more issues.

I have the same problem since updating to 2.6.605.15. The phone was fine until the update rolled out. After several hours of troubleshooting with HTC I got a replacement from them and am now updating that one to see if the problem remains. What a PIA this is since it takes all day to set up your phone again when you get a replacement.

Why would it take all day?
Just restore your last backup to your new device with TWRP. :good:
Instantly back to where you were.

Please tell me how to do this.

TWRP = Team Win Recovery Project.
That's your recovery. You do make backups, don't you?
Plug your old device into a computer, copy and paste your latest backup to your computer.
Plug new device into computer, drop backup onto new device.
Boot new device into recovery and restore backup from your old device.
Now you are right where you left off.
Or...
Back up old device in TWRP to external SD card.
Move SD card to new device, boot to recovery, restore backup from external SD.
BOOM done.

Root?
Do you have to root the phone?

You need to have s-off and bootloader unlocked. Currently the only way to do this on Verizon is with a clip or a java card. There is a post in general about java cards with plenty of information. Currently there is no way to root without TWRP and thus you need s-off and the bootloader unlocked.
