[Q] [Solved] Stuck in boot, sort of? - HTC One X

Hello,
I have a problem, I think. My phone is one Revolution 1.2.1 and today I've been gaming all day on my couch plugged in to an old charger. So when I unplugged the device I had 0% battery. So far no worries, I thought.
I tried to plug the device back in to the original charger and then it booted, and I can see the HTC "quietly brilliant" screen. This screen is on for a few seconds and after that there's another screen that I don't recognice, it's got the HTC logo and in the bottom there's a "beats audio" logo. After that nothing happens. So for now I've decided to try to charge it fully and see what happens. I have backups and I can access fastboot so I think it should be ok to just reflash the backup. But still, I'm really curious as to what caused this, and is there a fix without reflashing?
//Joel

Usually the screen with the beats logo is part of the booting procedure. I think it will just work fine when fully charged, but you should also wipe your battery stats, because having 0% battery is:
- technically not really possible, because phones have a safe shutdown thingie
- not good for the battery
- unlikely if it has been plugged in all the time, unless the old charger only provides 500 mAh. could you check that, please?

Solved it, I'm too much of a noob to know why it worked but it did.
I wiped chache and dalvik, then I rebuilt the permissions. Now it booted like normal

Yeah it's an old charger, it says 750 on it. Not gonna use that one again . Do you think I should wipe batterystats as well?

the stock charger provides 1000mAh, which is most likely why your phone went down to 0%. I think it's not actually neccessary to wipe battery stats, but it doesn't hurt either. Just do it
Glad to be of help,

TP2 won't boot or charge either!!

Hey guys, I got a real big problem.
I've got a Rhodium100, but it won't charge nor it'll boot.
When connected to original charger or pc the phone starts. Then I can see the HTC logo and it dies again. The battery seems to be totally dead
What I've triend so far:
1. Pulled out the battery
2. Multiple cabels for the charger
3. Soft reset
4. Hard reset (won't complete because the battery is dead)
5. Checked the on/off button (on top)
What else can I do to fix this problem? I'd like to try anything before sending the phone to HTC (did that 2 times before, but with other problems).
This is what happens: MOVIE
Thanks in advance

Buy a new battery and see if that helps. There are some cheap ones on ebay.
I just found another cable and it seems to be he's charging again. But after 5 hours of charging it's still on 40%.
When the battery-level is around 45% it goes downwards to around 38% and then to 45 again..
This is circulating..
How can this be?
You shouldn't let the battery completely die in the first place. A deep discharge of any Lithium Ion battery is not recommended because of this. If you've tried to do a hard reset and it did not complete, you may have destroyed the ROM image. If it doesn't turn back on, flash a stock ROM.
Always try to charge the device before it gets to 5% remaining battery. 10% is recommended, but 5% is the lowest the battery should ever be. Having a second battery is always a good idea. I have two of them and an external battery charger. This way, I can always have a battery able to charge without needing the device just in case something goes awry.
Make sure you do not turn the device on. Leave the battery in the device overnight on the charger without turning it on. If it still does not function after this, you might try purchasing another battery and charger.
If you have time left on your warranty, this is covered by it. Simply call your carrier or HTC and they will fix it for you. It's generally faster to go through your carrier if you have the option to do so.
Thanks for the tips. I followed them and it seems to be my phone is fully working again!

I have the same problem since august 2010. I've do the same as you flashing some ROM's also restoring original one(T-Mobile), buying new akku ang external charger- but nothing helps When I place battery in phone it switches on by self(seems like power button abridget but I've checked it with testing device), starting showing T-Mobile logo "Stick together" then shows windows logo then backlight fading then device restarts, so it happen infinite till battery fully goes empty. Now on phone is installed original ROM and I can't install any other- in bootloader I can install only SPL's, but other ROM's not installs (flashing process freezes on 0%). I haven't any ideas, somebody can help me? Thank you all.

It's a dead battery. If it powers on by itself, then you'll either want to get a new battery or an external battery charger. Make sure you're charging from the wall, and not a USB port.

Yes, I do as you suggest - bought new battery and wall charger, but no result. I doubt that new battery or charger is destroyed, but anything is possible... What actually kind of problem if phone couldn't do hard reset, not upgding ROM, also switches on when battery is placed into? 100% fault (discharged) battery?

I mentioned that you may need to charge the battery externally if it is powering on when you insert the battery. You'll either need a friend's phone to charge it, or buy an external charger. With the external charger, let it sit on the charger overnight, pop it in the phone, and then try again. If using an external charger does not work, then you may want to send the device in for repairs/replacement.

Desire DEAD!?

Hi having a little problem with my phone, ive taken it to a few shops and neither could fix it.
ill tell you what i did, i s-off'd my device and it worked well but i didnt like the joker boot splash so i reflashed clockwork mod recovery in hope it would get rid and it did, then i wanted to partition my SD card but realised you couldnt do it through that recovery so i went back to the alpharev recovery! partitioned my sd card and flashed Defrost 6.0k which id had running before the hd rom i had on, i then rebooted my phone and it got stuck in boot loop for some reason? i removed the battery booted into fastboot and it just came up with a blank black screen so i removed the battery again put it back in and tada no power? no led when on charge? any help would be appreciated!
How long have you left it plugged into the charger for? Leave it for about 10 minutes and see if you get any joy with the led.
If that does work, you may have the USB brick. I'm just clutching at straws at the minute though!
i have left it on charge all night still absolutely nothing
Do you get any response when you plug it into a computer? Can you see it using adb?
Me too...
My Desire stopped also working today. Practically same symptoms...
In my case the origin is different, I was on Adamg Oxygen 2.0.1. and loaded the latest kernel from Thalamus 2.6.37 R5. All good, the phone was working for a few hours without issues. Went to sleep and left the phone charging (as usual).
This morning the phone was off, no way to turn it on. No led on charging (probably because batt is full). I can see the leds (green/orange) when on charge and batt off, but it doesnt start, no way to force start to recovery (power+vol-down), no view from laptop via adb, in fact it doesnt even identify the device, which I guess is natural if the device is not starting.
Needless to say that any ideas are more than welcome...
I'm not an expert but it might be dead battery aswell, no idea why people leave their phones charging all night long.. i charge my Desire from about 10% to full in like 1 hour.
u need to take out the batt an see if u can charge it whitout using the phone to charge it
First, thanks for taking the time to reply...
For reference, the batt is full, I checked it with a voltimeter and it is good.
I discharged the batt a bit as well, but so far nothing works...
So not a problem with dead batt...
Ive tried charging without the battery in too, no sign of life!!!
For further reference in case anyone is interested.
Battery is charged (tried with another mobile which started without issue).
I also used the batt from another unit in this "dead" one and same behavior, i.e. no turn on, etc.
Only behavior I can easily replicate:
Phone is off, no charger, batt is removed. Now I place the batt in and connect the charger, the orange lef comes up as if it were charging.
When I press the power button (or the VOL-Down with Power), the led goes off and stays off, the only way to go back to seeing the orange led again is to again, remove batt and charger cable, and then putting again back the batt and the charger (in that order).

[BUG]&[FIX] Battery stuck at 100%

*** Mod Update ***
Confirmed "FIX" : you just need to reboot the phone
To Reproduce the BUG: it's only happens when you charge it up to 100% with AC plug, and leave it there for long
However if you charge it via computer USB, then it doesn't get stuck at 100%
--- Original Content Below ---
I contacted T-Mobile yesterday in regards to my battery continuing to be stuck at 100% after fully charging. This had been happening for the past 4 days for me. They really didn't have a lot of answers, however, the one thing they suggested is for me to reboot into recovery, in my case, clockwork recovery as I am rooted, and wipe cache. I took it a few steps further and did the following:
- wiped cache in recovery
- wiped delvik-cache
- wiped battery stats
- rebooted and charged phone to 100% at which point I ran battery calibration
Immediately the battery responded and started updating with the correct percentages. I have since charged the battery two additional times with each time the battery responding appropriately.
I am not sure which step fixed it or if it will indeed fix your similar issue. However, I wanted to pass along these steps as it may help someone out there.

i exchanged mine for that reason and it did it once and hasnt done it again. id sure like to know the reason for it
If you charge with duferent charger then it gets stock on 100%

my wife is on her 2nd phone with this issue. we have a day left before the two week grace period is up. i'll try the fix you suggested today and hopefully it works! i have a bad feeling i'll get some ugly looks from the tmob people if i come in there again!
On my 2nd phone, exchanged do to random shutdowns. Anyway, it happened on this phone as well. I did the steps listed and it hasn't returned.
It's only happened to me once, but a reboot fixed it.
Granted, it shouldn't be happening, but is this really happening frequently enough to be considered a 'problem'? I got my galaxy on launch day and it's only happened that one time, the second day I had it.
Couple of things i think may have resolved it for me, but i still am not sure what exactly made it work.
- Charged the phone to 100%
- Did battery caliberation which deleted battery.stats
Still was stuck at 100%
By afternoon i connected the phone to computer using USB, it beeped that the phone is fully charged, i unplugged it by mistake and plugged it back in and it displayed the correct battery.
- Charged that night with the original charger (Was using a different one before)
Since then it is working fine for me.
I had somewhat the same problem, only on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini. The battery got stuck at 100%, no matter what i did (clearing batterystats.bin, charging with original charger, charging via USB, bumping it...).
The battery also stopped charging at 3,7V instead of charging over 4V.
The last thing that worked for me was taking out the battery for 5 minutes and then reinserting it. 3 days of effortless troubleshooting, and a simple battery pull saved me from sending the phone in to my carrier.
whenever i get a 100% stuck i just boot into CWR and select the option to wipe battery history
then it all goes back to normal
i just shut down the phone via the power button on the right side and turn it back on. works every time. a shame though.. shouldn't have to do this.. i hope samsung/tmobile fixes this.

Yeah I just reboot it every morning after unplugging the phone.
Got a replacement phone and it happened again once. Booted in Clockwork Recovery and followed the steps I posted in the OP and it hasn't happened again.
Happened to me a few times....a reboot fixed it for me....not a big deal for me...i just reboot when it happens...

I also have this problem. I am currently rooted, but using the stock ROM/Kernel. Although I did have this problem before I rooted too. I was wondering if any of the ROMs or Kernels are known to solve this problem. Then we would know for sure that this is a software problem the tmo/sammy can fix.
It's from the charger. Use the charger the phone came with. im using the original galaxy s charger and no problem whrn i charge with other charger overnight it gets stock .

For me the charger I use does not make a difference. In fact, the real symptom here is that the phone is stuck at 100% when it is off the charger. Sometimes when disconnecting the phone from the charger after a "successful" charge, the phone will stay at 100%. If this happens, then even connecting the phone to a charger (perhaps after a couple of hours so you would know that the phone is actually at some percentage less than 100%) will not cause the phone to realize that it is in fact NOT at 100%. What's more, since the phone thinks it is at 100% it will not charge itself. The only cure I have seen is that when I notice that the phone is still at 100% after it has been disconnected from the charger for long enough that I know it should be less than 100% is to reboot the phone. Once I do that then the phone is good to go.
Maybe this can help... I've never had the problem until I charged the phone while it was powered off. Due to the nature of my job, I leave my phone on 24/7 and never had the issue until reading about battery management and doing a charge while powered down. After turning the phone back on, I had this issue until a reboot which fixed it.

If it's anything like the problem we are experiencing, then it means you will have to reboot every time you complete a charge, since it gets stuck at 100%.
This is getting to be really annoying ... having to reboot every morning after a charge. I really wish Samsung would release a patch or something.
Mines only done that once, it got stuck at 100 aftervi unplugged it, reboot fixed it, but it hasnt happened to me since

[Q] Battery death or software issue?

So I've had an xperia play running CM7 for quite a while with noproblems, I recently decided to totally delete everything and swap to the newest version of CM7 (deleted everything just to make my phone feel new again lol). I wiped everything including dalvick and battery stats now my phone won't hard a charge, is this the battery or did i completely just ruin my phone? to clarify it will not charge beyond 0% when wall plugged or PC, also half the time when i attempt to boot in fastboot it will just blink red instead of going that nice blue(this has only been happening since I wiped everything)
Either your battery simply won't hold a charge, and you might need a new one. Or, more likely, something went wrong when you flashed something, and you damaged the Trim Area. There is a thread on fixing the Trim Area, if this is indeed what happened -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252038

[Q] Battery Problem - Fully charged but shows empty on my Inspire 4G

I can't seem to find any information on this issue.
I charge the battery fully on my external charger and then when I put it in my Inspire it shows red with no battery charge then shuts down. When I power it on with the usb plugged in then the battery shows full and I can unplug it. If I power it off then back on it then shows empty again, even if I quick plug in the usb. I have 3 backup batteries and this happens with 2 of them. All of the batteries worked fine until this started happening. I just rebooted with the usb plugged in and when I check the battery info on my ICS rom it shows 0%, charging (AC), 21s on battery. When I unplugged the usb and refreshed the battery info it now shows 99%, not charging, 3s on battery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, my son's Inspire does not have this issue with the same batteries that i use so it has to be related to my phone.
This happens on my phone rom, Melcheizedek v2.1 and on one of my Boot Manager roms, Lords ICS v 7.4.
Thanks!
I dont know if this will help.
Try using a different stable Gb rom. If problem persists, power off, pull the battery out, put back the same battery, power on. If it still happens, try cleaning the battery connectors. In the past week or so in either this section or the inspire 4g (either the general or Q&A) someone explained how to clean them.
Edit: does the same problem happen in recovery? My guess is yes, regardless if it's software or a hardware prob.

I will try a GB rom today. I just completely reformatted and re-installed Melchizedek - AOSP ICS booted my phone and battery shows red, no charge. Reboot with usb connected to AC and full charge shows then when i unplug still full charge. When i am in recovery it shows battery --% for a few seconds then it changes to full.
Coffee still hasn't kicked in
In recovery it shows 100%. If you stay in recovery what happens?
Same problem? It discharges and then shuts down?
Can you use the battery cover from your sons cellphone?
Do you remember what you did when you first noticed the problem?
Insight to something that happened to me a few weeks back.
I was running a Gb miui rom, I installed a mod or something the device bootlooped. Erased everything, used my backup, but then the battery would discharge insanely fast. 3-5% per minute. From 80% it went down to 65%, rebooted, then it would show 76%. Wipped everything, installed a different stable rom, no apps whatsoever, same problem. I went into recovery, same issue in recovery, erased, (this part I'm a bit foggy) I believe the same thing happened in recovery with a formatted system.
Can't remember if I installed another rom or just went back to my backup.
Powered off the cell, swapped batteries with another phone, the issue was gone.
My assumption is that by pulling out the battery it solved the problem.
In your case, you already pulled out and tried several batteries. But they work in your sons cell. However, with several batteries it is unlickly (the spelling for that just seems wrong for some reason) to be a battery (just ranting to see where my mind goes).
Still waiting to know what happens in recovery.
If it happens with different roms, Im assuming you full wiped. Especially if you are running one from the collective and lord. You probably know more than I do
Try using a different battery cover if you can, and also try booting your cell without the sd card.
Try them seperately to see if either one works.
Hope something I said works, or at least gives you ideas to try something else.
Edit: I just re-read your initial post. It happens with two out of your three batteries. That's a tough one.
Whats the difference between the batteries? Does your sons battery work on your cell?
You can disregard cleaning the connectors - probably.
Or clean the connectors on the bats and the cover. Or try your sons bat connector with those batteries.
Could you re-phrase your initial post along with everything that has happened and what you have tried?

When I boot into recovery it initially shows no charge for maybe 20 - 30 seconds and then shows full (or whatever level the battery really is). The battery level stays normal then and works perfectly fine all the while I am in recovery.
I just rebooted with the battery I was using all day, it was plugged into a usb ac at work until about 3.5 hours ago, and it rebooted with a normal battery level, I rebooted again and it was normal again. I booted this same battery in the morning and it showed no charge but now it works fine. I then rebooted with a second battery and again it booted fine with full charge. I put in a third battery, this was the one it first happened on, and it booted with no charge. I put back in the battery I had in all day and it booted with normal charge again. I checked the bad battery and the good battery and both have about 4.2 volts.
When it happened the first time it was only with 1 battery, that was about a week ago. I just got 2 new batteries in the mail and one worked fine and the second booted up showing no charge like the other one. That was 2 days ago, since then every battery seemed to do it until now, I just checked 5 batteries and only the first bad one and the one new one that was bad don't work, weird.
It seems like the bad battery screwed up something in my phone but it's hard to believe that whatever it was would survive a system format. Now it seems to be working fine...I don't like things that fix themselves...
Well, if you have the time let's try troubleshooting the issue with only the bad batteries (as long as if you believe it to be software related only).
Keep in mind that I'm trying to help figure this out, and to keep bumping this thread until someone more knowledgeable joins in.
If its software, remove the sd card, format everything. Power off, remove the battery, while the battery is out press and hold the power button (hoping the cell works something like a pc) for 30s. Then install - I don't know - any rom? Load a few basic apps you use/need. See what happens with the bad battery.
You did say the bad battery does work in another cell?

I don't believe it's software related, I reformatted and re-installed the rom I was using and still had the issue. I have been using the same rom for a while with no issues. I'll check the 'bad' batteries on my son's phone tomorrow.
Edit: Booted normal this morning again, I think I can close this issue for now. I am a bit uncomfortable with not finding the root cause but at least it ended in my favor. Thanks for your input!
You are welcome. My next step was going to be to link your issue in another thread. Good luck.

Try full wipe and reinstall ROM, if doesn't work flash another ROM. If doesn't work again, maybe it's problem whith battery controller, you would have to go to service centre

I had a similiar problem and it happened after i started playing with ICS DHD Roms. I downloaded a stock WWE sense 2 rom and flashed that. I then flashes the latest Stock WWE 2.5 Sense rom and all is still ok. Dunno if the stock flashing (through exe from PC) it was unrooted though. Fixed it but its fine now. So maybe try that.
Perhaps this may help.

Thanks for sharing my post on the Inspire forums, Teichopsia.
I'm convinced that there's something in the non-sense ROMS that doesn't get the battery charge % correctly immediately after booting. I'm having the same symptoms as the original poster is having. Two of my batteries are after market and two are HTC. The generic ones have the problem of registering 0% on reboot after swapping the batteries in. If you have them on the charger they work fine and show 100% after about 30 seconds. If you reboot with the same battery it's fine until you change to a different one. The latest ICS Rom I'm using has the problem with any reboot, even if the same battery is in. If I'm using real HTC batteries this problem doesn't manifest itself on Cyanogenmod or AOSP ROMs.
EDIT: I should clarify that the after market batteries fail on any reboot without the charger with the latest ICS ROM I'm trying, but the HTC batteries are fine.
I've had success with booting into recovery mode and wiping battery stats. This is not a permanent fix but is useful when you don't have access to a charger and need to swap batteries.
The full procedure is this: with phone off hold power and vol down, select recovery, advanced, wipe battery stats, yes, go back, reboot system now.
Bad battery I think. Ik had the same problem with a brand new, original battery.
Charged it fully with external charger, booted phone with it but showed 0% juice....
I had to boot with the charger plugged in, and then after booting it went to 100%
Send the battery back because this was not normal, recieved a new one and didn't have the problem.
btw I was on IceColdSandwich rom...
Im running ICS 4.0.4 aospX 1.0.0-MR1 on my HTC Inspire 4g with a AnkerĀ® 1600mAh Li-ion Battery For HTC Desire HD, Inspire 4G - White and had this problem initially.
The only way my phone would boot up was if it was plugged in, otherwise it would show a dead battery warning when the homescreen loaded, and then it would shutdown. If I booted it while plugged in, then disconnected the cable, then it would run off the battery just fine.
What I did to fix it was to shutdown the phone, take off the battery cover, removed the battery ( the Anker one), blew into the compartment to make sure there was nothing interfering with the connectors, wiped the battery's connectors with my finger, and then i replaced the Anker battery, pushed hard on it to make sure the connection was good, and booted the phone.
To my surprise, this actually seemed to fix the problem. Whatsmore, after I put the battery cover back in place, the phone continued to boot with no issue, meaning I did not have to push on the battery to make sure the nodes were connecting. I even shook the phone in my hand to see if this would loosen the battery connection, but it still booted fine.
I then took out the battery and replaced it to make sure it would still boot, and it did. Hope my solution works for you! Cheers!
