1) I have cm7
2) I downloaded Kernel Manager and downloaded and flashed the latest Tiamat kernel.
After that, my battery will not charge. I have an all in one charger that I can use in my car or plug into an outlet (from Sprint). When I plug in the charger, a light comes on so that I know it's plugged in. However, when I plug it into my phone it won't charge AND it turns off the light on the charger. Luckily I have a coworker that has an EVO and my charger works just fine with his phone.
I've rebooted several times, which is killing my battery. I tried to just flash a new kernel, but now I kept getting errors that flashed too quickly for me to read. I thought, Hey I'll uninstall and re-install. So I uninstalled and tried to open the Market and now I'm getting network errors and can't connect through anything. I'm down to 37% so I can't flash the new cm7.1.
Yes, I'm a n00b but I have researched and Googled and I can't find anyone with the same problem. Feel free to tell me to throw my phone out the window, but I'd really appreciate some help. Even if it's "Take out your SD card and flash cm7.1 when you get home."
TIA.
*EDIT: Thanks for everyone's help. It looks like it is a hardware problem (bad pins). I went back to stock and unrooted so Sprint can fix it/give me a new phone.
Have you taken out the battery, and let it sit out for maybe a good solid minute, then try to charge? it worked for me on the random time it happened, and make sure its plugged into a wall outlet, not a usb port, ect.

I'm defintely just using my wall/car charger since my usb cable is at home.
I left it out for two minutes and I still have the same problem.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Well first try letting the battery cool down just turn off your phone for like 15 min. And see if that works.
If that dont work try this and since you use kernel manager try this.
1.go into the settings of kernel manager and turn off the setting for auto flashing.
2.download the godmode kernel towards the bottom of the list.
3.steel your friends battery with his permission since your running out.
4.boot into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik.
5.(now I take it your in clockwork and not amon since you running cm7 so I'm not sure what you click to do this since unused amon) but go to flash a zip from SD card and look for a folder on the root of your SD called kernel-manager then go to the toastcfh folder and flash the godmode-v9 zip that's in there. Its a great kernel the was made for use with cm7 + all other aosp so it should work. Post your results if it did or didn't work

Did you make a backup before flashing? If so, flash the nandroid and reflash the kernel.
Also, try downloading the kernel to your computer from its respective website, transfer it to your phone, then flash.

What I would try is download the kernel from the dev section [could have gotten a bad flash], then try that.
Also, try another battery in your evo, like you co-workers, because you battery could be super drained and it'll have to be jumped at a sprint store; or leave in on the charger for a few hours and see if it turns on.

I did not backup because I am stupid and was having trouble trying to flash it in recovery (my power button wasn't working as "select", it was just turning my screen off). But I have titanium back up and I didn't flash cm7 so long ago that I would mind flashing the nandroid or a new ROM.
I can't flash right now because my battery is now a very sad 22% and I'm pretty sure my coworker isn't going to lend me his battery. I also don't have my data cable with me so I can't do anything between my phone and computer until I get home.
This is really ****ing with my happy hour plans.

I'm going to try leaving it on the charger to see if it is just the light that is going bonkers with my phone. While the phone was off (after pulling the battery for 10-15 minutes), I plugged in the phone and it turned it on. That's a good sign that it recognized the charger, right?

I turned WiMax on for a sec and at least the network started working for me. I installed Kernel Manager again and downloaded Godmode. Of course, I turned WiMax back off.
I was sitting here plugged in for 10 minutes at 17%.
I guess my coworker didn't get my hints, but when I flat out asked him, he is letting me charge my battery in his phone, which is working. You boys ...

So after my coworker let me charge my battery enough to make it to the Sprint store, they charged it up to about 70% and I wiped and flashed GodMode. All better! It got stuck in a boot loop so i had to reboot but then it was fine. Thank you!
Completely unrelated, but now Launcher Pro Plus is throwing an error and force closing upon start up.

Glad you got it working, and is it just lagging, like not swiping when moving screens or opening the app drawer? if so lock the device, wait a second, then unlock again. Also check your minimum frequency.

It's just whenever I boot up my phone, the very first time it just doesn't work and force closes. As long as I don't turn off my phone, it's fine (mabe a bit laggy, but that's it).
So now that i have been home, my data cable charges my phone just fine (though, it did take longer than usual). I'm at work again, and my charger still doesn't charge my phone! It charges my coworker's phone but not mine. SO WEIRD!
Back to the Sprint store for me ...

That occasionally happens, where it may take launcher pro an extra minute to load, make sure its on the internal memory to make it the fastest.
And that is weird, I would have suggest you may have been using a bad outlet or cable, but no reason for it to charge one phone and not the other. Its possible you could have a bad usb port, so I'd take it to sprint and see what they say.
So I took it to Sprint and they say I need to go back to stock and unRoot before they will work on my phone. :/
They tried different wall chargers and none work, but USB cables work as long as they are plugged into a computer or AC adapter.
Do I try flashing a different ROM? do I restore my NAND backup from before I rooted? Do I just rely on my data cable to charge my phone and deal with it? UGH.
And now I will never know if i messed my phone up with the kernel flashing business or if it was a true hardware problem.

I think it may be hardware. I only use the data cable via usb, or use the adapter for the wall outlet, and never had a problem.
What's your current setup? You can always change kernels, and if you wana unroot, shoot me a pm and I'll fix ya up.

Hey guys,
Was just looking through the market and saw an animations app, so i downloaded it, installed as normal, accepted the superuser request and chose what animation i wanted, (I chose blur if it makes any difference). It then requested a reboot, so i rebooted, but now nothing happens to my phone, It is just like the phone is powered off, nothing comes up on the screen. Ive tried booting normally and booting into recovery but nothing
Any ideas?
I'm using Leedroid ROM and Kernel, both on the latest versions.
Thanks in advance.

Take the battery out again, put it back and then hold volume down & power button. You can also connect the charger to be sure that this is not caused by low battery level. If it still stays off, you should send it to HTC.

Got the same problem after starting to format my sdcard with cwm. Just nothing happens anymore, but when i connect my dhd to my computer its indicated as device "qhsusb_dload", but i cant access it with adb or anything. Tried to foce install htc-drivers, but didnt help. Gonna take it to a local o2 store and check if there can be anything done bout it.
when i drained my battery fully to the point that it turns itself off, when i plugged it in it sort of looped into boot, but after i remove the charger and plugged it again, the red light turned on and i just left if for ten minutes, then pressed the power button then i turned on as normal.
i'm thinking it might be because the battery is just too drained at one point.

I had the same problem.
I charged aways the phone by the USB on my PC.
But this is a problem.
Try to charge for an Hour or two your usb original charger your phone.
My problem was that the battery was so empty that the PC USB coudn't had the power to charge it. The Original Charger CAN.
So dont wait more and put it and Charge.
Tell me if this was the resolution.

My epic randomly went into boot loop on sunday. I odin'ed it monday and it was working better then before i woke up today and it was boot looping again i just tried odin 3 times now and it boot loops... is my epic bricked?
No, bricked means no lights, no power, no nothing. You are sponged. Try a different cable and a different tar.

any idea why this would keep happening out of the blue? Also i am using another my other cable that i always use. used it to root and odin multiple times.
What are you Odining and are you restoring data? My guess is your data is bad. Downlod your apps fresh from the market. Don't restore any data.

Not restoring anything i also removed the sd card. I tried to odin ec05 stock and eb13 stock. right after it says successful and closes threads i unplug my phone. Then put my batter back in and it say samsung after about 45 seconds it turn's black and samsung comes back up and loops. Also when i charge it shows the battery icon and the spinning circle in it freezes and the screen will not turn off. Seem like its just done for. I took extremely good care of it too very frustrating. If you have any other idea's I would appreciate them.
Edit: also each time it did this i couldn't get into CWM. Thats why i used odin. Just thought i should mention it.

I bet its a temp fix till it full breaks but at least i dont have to use this damn blackberry.
Very strange

The Samsung update tool repartitions your device. It may have been a bad partition table. My next suggestion was to use the PIT file and check repartition in Odin but I see you are up and running...great!

i was running fc07 on my phone for the longest & yesterday decided to odin to fc15. the process got stuck during the modem part of it & took a long time (exceeding a half hour). i unplugged my phone & attempting to reboot it when the screen told me "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." i proceeded to download Kies on my computer; however, when i get to the firmware recovery, it is asking for a code. i dont know what to do. Did i brick my phone? Is there a way to odin to a system recovery? i have tried fc05 & ek02 & i get the smae results.
Remove battery, Press AND Hold VolDown continuing to hold as you replace battery. It may feel awkward to do this.
That should get you back into Odin D/L mode.
I have the same issue. I upgraded to FC15 and after a full charge this am. I made a call, did some email and text, then BAM! nothing. no lights, can't turn on, can't get into DL mode, can't do anything.....

Yes. Just directed by sfhub.
And odin using his one-click odin after you entered to download mode.

Depending on how long you kept it there - and how well ventilated it was - the phone could have overheated. There have been similar reports where all they got was a blue LED light.
Have you tried pulling the battery out, wait until the capacitors on the board run out (you'll see the LED go out) and then re-inserting the battery?
Hopefully this will help it come back to life - you could try a different battery as well but it may just be easier to take it to Sprint and have them replace at that point.

Well, since it's been a while hopefully you let it sit and finish flashing FC15. I noticed the delay as well and stood there in horror as I waited to see if I now held a $550 paperweight....
...but then came the "Pass!" indication about a minute later. I'll post my thoughts on this update separately.
So if you didn't, let it go all the way through and you should be all set. And glad that it seems it was just a battery - they're certainly easier (and cheaper!) to replace than the entire phone.
well i let the phone sit for hours & i didnt get a pass....without a way to at least nandroid to a backup, i chalked it up as a lost and filed a claim...will be getting the new phone today at work. if anyone is interested in playing w/a phone that i believe is bricked let me know...im sure i can get it off for a cheap price....lol say no to fc15....lol
I tried searching, but I couldn't find anyone with the same problem as me and I don't know what to do.. I'm kind of freaking out. The last update I installed was darkside beta02, and I was really liking it minus a few connection and call issues. Anyways, I was in my car earlier today and picked out a song on play music. The phone instantly turned off, and it appeared that it was about to reboot so I didn't think much about it. Nope. When it starts to turn on it rarely makes it past the samsung screens that pops up right when you start the phone, but it has made it as far as the swirling samsung s splash screen thing. It just acts like it is rebooting from that part and it's like a never ending cycle until I remove the battery. I can get the phone into download mode by plugging it into the computer, but it only stays on for a few seconds and then goes back to it's never ending reboot. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I really can't afford to have bricked this phone
UPDATE: I managed to restore the phone to stock, and I proceeded to root and put darkside beta 7.1 on it. Everything was running fine... For a few hours. It began to do the same rebooting described above, but now instead of looking like it's going to boot normally it goes straight to a screen that says "Firmware encountered an issue. Please sleect recovery mode in Kies and try again." with the phone model, "Custom Binary Download: No" and "Current Binary: Samsung Official" up top. It only stays at this screen for a few seconds before it starts back into it endless half-reboot. Any suggestions? This is frustrating me A LOT.
uh, have you tried charging it? Honestly at first blush it sounds like a dead battery.

So did you take the battery out put it in and then flash into recovery using touch method?

What exactly is the touch method?
Go to recovery and clear cache and restore factory settings

He said he can't get into recovery.
Do you have insurance? Might want to take it to a store.

Oops sorry about that. I would reset your flash counts and try and take it back to the store if possible... seems like your only option if you can't get into recovery. Or reflash stock. Then root again then clear cache and then factory defaults
If you can get it to stay on long enough-- in Odin

Wouldn't they just tell me I'm out of luck because my phone is clearly rooted and whatnot?

The problem is that I can't do anything but watch the phone start up for about 10 seconds, or be in download mode for about 10 seconds. Not much time to do anything.
That is why you reset flash counts before you go in... Google is your friend and try to unroot somehow--
You are quick! Lol I edited my post just after you replied to it

I tried searching, but I couldn't find anyone with the same problem as me and I don't know what to do.. I'm kind of freaking out. The last update I installed was darkside beta02, and I was really liking it minus a few connection and call issues. Anyways, I was in my car earlier today and picked out a song on play music. The phone instantly turned off, and it appeared that it was about to reboot so I didn't think much about it. Nope. When it starts to turn on it rarely makes it past the samsung screens that pops up right when you start the phone, but it has made it as far as the swirling samsung s splash screen thing. It just acts like it is rebooting from that part and it's like a never ending cycle until I remove the battery. I can get the phone into download mode by plugging it into the computer, but it only stays on for a few seconds and then goes back to it's never ending reboot. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I really can't afford to have bricked this phone

I had this exact thing happen to me today!! For the last week or so, I would get a random reboot up to four times a day. This started happening after I flashed Whitehawkx UVLDE zip. What I did was left the battery in the phone let the constant reboot run until the battery died. Then I would try to get into download mode, but then it would reboot before Odin recognized it. I left the usb plug in the phone and took the battery out, the phone would still do the rebooting vibration. I just stayed with trying to get the phone to stay on long enough to get recognized by Odin. Leave the drained battery out of the phone for a while (your choice of how long, I left it for about forty minutes) and replace it, hopefully it stays on long enough to get recognized. Finally it stayed on long enough and I re-flashed ULKL1. Now I'm back to running TDJ's DARKSIDE. EVOLUTION.2 [BETA 3] and I haven't had any reboots where as before it would reboot within fifteen minutes.

Thank you! And when you say replace the battery, do you mean get a whole new one or put in the dead one?
Just put the dead one in.
My advice is similar to his, but without killing the battery. Open odin on your computer, and input what your going to input into pda and have everything ready to go, so all you have to do is press start and its off. Now, start with the phone turned off, hold both volume buttons and plug in the usb cable from the computer quickly! Have your hand ready on the mouse and ready to click start. Soon as odin recognizes click that start button! Hopefully everything happened so quick, that the phone will take the flash. However, if it doesn't, then I'm afraid the only answer you would have left is to use a jig to reset the counter and take it in to be replaced.

I've tried this, but I didn't even have time to get it started. It's beginning to look like I'm out of luck

If you cant get it to Odin, and if you cant get it to download mode, and if you cant get it to turn on, neither can TMo. Take it in.

The thing is, it starts to start up, and you can clearly see that it's rooted. I feel like they won't honor my warranty.
Hey guys,
My Gnex battery died yesterday, after which it wouldn't charge or turn on.
I have had this problem before and I managed to fix it by pushing the flat USB connector up gently.
I tried it, didn't work. So I left it to charge. After a few hours, I tried it again and it came on, the battery was at 100% so I unplugged it.
At the end of the day I plugged it in and it wouldn't charge so I rebooted it a couple of times, but nothing.
Then I read a couple of threads and it said to power off and restart boot loader, so I turned the phone off, but then it wouldn't start, no bootloader, no recovery nothing!
Now my phone has been off for a day, nothing is working and it totally sucks, I need my phone for everything. PLEASE HELP!!!

Have ypu tried to pull out the battery and let it be for a moment? Then put the battery back in and it may be working. Maybe try a friends battery or charger to see if that works. If youve read everywhere and tried everything and nothing works I think the only option is an omap flash.

Hey mrgnex,
Sorry I took so long to reply, my net has been down.
I've tried everything except the omap flash, but I don't really know much about it.
Could you tell me more:-
a. what does it do
b. when is it meant to be used
c. and how do you use it
so everything basically.
P.S. I was running CM 10.1(Forgot to mention that earlier)
Thanks

I really dont know myself because I never had to use it but I know it saves your phone if everything fails and you dont need a battery. I found more information and a tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925468
I recommend to read the whole thread to see if you have the same problems.

Thanks, I'll check it out
My old galaxy nexus was also not booting after being in a box for about 4 years, it was showing 100% charged and nothing more
I tried the OMAP4460 drivers, but since windows 10 does not normally allow unsigned drivers I was stuck.
What worked for me:
Charge it for 16 hours
Press the power button hard, as light pressure was not doing anything.
Now I just need to install a new ROM as google keyboard inst working on this 10.1 OMNI ROM preventing device setup.

You could try this flashable keyboard first rather than flashing the entire ROM just for the keyboard
