any way to charge a phone once completely dead
as the title states, once in the bootloop issue if your battery ends up at 0% and can't be charged is there a way out of this. Here is my issue. I can't get into recovery. Hboot or fastboot are the only options available. Sometimes it boots into the ROM but instantly dies once restarting. No clue as to the trigger as I've tried pretty much all the combinations of factory reset, reboot-bootloader, erase cache etc etc etc trying to get this into a non on mode so it can charge.
In addition to this of course anytime I plug the phone in it automatically turns on in either bootloader or fastboot which gives it no opportunity to charge at all otherwise I would simply run the RUU which won't let me until it hits 30%. I've more or less come to the conclusion I have to send it in because its not quite the same situation that others have experienced. But was hoping to get an answer/fix so I don't have to send it in to HTC to get repaired since the RMA guys just told me it'll be 10 business days before they even get in parts to the texas facility to get it sent there for repairs.
also of note, I had managed to relock the bootloader but can't get enough juice to run the RUU
What about borrowing a battery or getting one and charging it. That would be better than sending it in.

With the current recovery. The phone can't charge while off. You can't let it die
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
yeah so far I've tried literally everything out there. I almost need a way to figure out how to wipe the rom so it can't restart and sit on the loading screen so it can charge, but so far no luck with anything in the forum. I've literally tried it all.
Could be worse, my replacement comes today (but cost the same sadly, looks like the gf will get a new one when I can send it out to htc for repairs and get it back)
So, when you plug the charger in, the phone starts up into hboot or something? And can you not press and hold power for 10 secs to force it to power off while still plugged in? My phone was charging while it was completely off. That's after I discharged it completely, it shut itself off.
any time I plug it in it automatically turns back on. If I hold down the power button for 10 seconds it simply reboots.

By either plugging in every time it stops charging or rebooting it like that you should be able to gradually charge it over 30%, that's what I heard. So it's not as easy as plug in and wait, but rather plug in, unplug, plug back in.
I have this same issue. Arent their any recoveries that charge while in recovery mode??
Yes.. The stock recovery. You need to flash that.
again, can't flash diddly because of low battery. So flashing stock recovery does nothing as it would end in an error.
Very possible solution! Worked for me!
It seems my reply via the XDA-App did not come through.. As I wanted to reply.
My H0X was also dead. Wouldn't charge nor boot, with wall charger or by pc.. but I thought.. well let's give it a chance by using my iPhone 4 charger (with HTC cable of course)
Guess what: It worked!
SO TO ALL WHO IS HAVING THIS 'WILL NOT CHARGE' PROBLEM:
Try an other charger, even try your wireless mouse, or other phone chargers.. Anything!

you don't think something silly like this idea has been done? When the phone is plugged into any outside source of charge, it turns on in bootloader. This does not charge it...
Get into fastboot and try charge ..same happened to me when I tried to install Mike's Rom. So what I ended up doing was after trying a millions things to get a little charge so I could flash stock recovery and relock bootloader. I turn phone off. Plug charge for 2 seconds unplug. Plug again unplug. Big pain in the ass. Don't let charger to long cause it boots phone againg. So usually u see led turn on then few seconds later it goes off that's when u have to unplug charger. Do that again a few times. Enough to get a little charge again to flash stock recover. Once u flash stock recover phone charges normally. You also need the correct RUU for ur phone. That's after flashing stock recovery then relock bootloader then flash ruu. Then u can try again a custom Rom or whatever u were doing

I was flashing a ROM, kernal, and radio. The phone went to reboot and nothing. I have tried the power button, holding down the volume rocker and the power button, both with and without the USB plugged in. When I plug it into the computer the computer beeps meaning it sees something is plugged in but the RUU doesn't see. The most telling thing to me the LED doesn't lite up indicating it's charging. So did I somehow brick it dead as a hammer or did it die?
I searched but didn't see anything like this. The other bricks I would would still turn on.
If it is bricked you probably did it flashing the radio. I hope someone can help you. And I know you might be panicking, but for future reference, this thread belongs in another section. Just saying before you get flamed.
Hate to say it but pretty sure its bricked. I don't mess with radios knowing my luck I'd have a nice paper weight.

Does it ever boot up into a black screen with green arrows in a circle?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Try this as I was in the same situation. Strange as it may sound it's sometimes your cable and charger and the voltage that it is sending.
Mine did that after an updated kernel. It would charge and then drain and it went to blank and nothing. Battery pulls, different cables, etc. nothing seemed to work. I was about to get a replacement. So I thought I would just try another charger. well I had already tried the car charger(no good), I tried the usb charger(no good) and I tried the usb pc(no good). As a what the hell thought I plugged in the OEM HTC charger and it worked.
Now today I flashed the CM 6 WIMAX ROM with the WIMAX Kernel that is used with it and guess what? The OEM charger would not take and charge at all but another wall charger and PC USB port will charge the phone.
It is strange but it is happening. Just thought I would share my experience so maybe you can experiment with it before calling it quits on your current setup.
If you have your OEM HTC USB wall charger make sure you use that. You will know if it works. It will blink an orange LED slowly. If so then let it sit for a few and then boot into the recovery and try another kernel.
What was your last kernel?
Good luck.

As in holding down the volume and powering on? If so, no dice. It won't boot at all.
How long has it been? I remember once my phone was spazzing out after a flash and wouldnt boot right. I ended up pulling the battery and letting it sit for a good 10 minutes without battery. Reinserted and was then able to boot to bootloader and flash a PC36IMG.zip

Try booting with the sd card removed, just to rule it out.
try battery pull wait 10 seconds(for cache reset) then insert
then try Vol. down and power.
if not try power on(after cache reset)
Take the battery out.most of the time doing this will reset the phone.I had the same thing happend to me.I hope this helps

Try this ..pull the battery and with the battery off press the power button for 30 seconds and put the battery back on and try to boot into bootloader...see if that works .
Screen went black.
Pulled battery.
Battery In.
Plugged into PC.
I get OMAP4440 in Device Manager for 0.8 seconds then instant dead phone.
OMAP4440 comes back half a second later then back to dead phone.
No Fastboot, No LCD, No Nothing.
DEAD Battery, I will keep it plugged in overnight, the USB may not be giving it enough voltage for the boot.
Any help greatly appreciated. There is not enough time to flash anything while the phone is actually "on" for the 0.8 seconds.
What caused the screen to go black? Did you flash something right before?
I mean this is no regular boot up, you obviously attempted something right before boot up!

Hey, I got a HTC One X today and used it for about 2 hours, and after going into location settings the phone froze for a while, then eventually it switched itself off. I couldn't get it to switch on, and when I connected it to the charger, I noticed the LED was no longer lighting up when connected to the charger.
So I done some reading, and heard that if you hold the power button for 10 seconds, its basically the same effect as pulling the battery on other phones. So I held it for 10 seconds and the phone booted up, it got the the lockscreen straight after booting up, when I tried to unlock it, I realized that it was frozen again. Then after a while it powered itself off again, so I tried to power it on, once again it was not working. So I tried holding the power button for 10 seconds, this time its not working, no matter how many times I've tried it doesn't work.
The phone wasn't rooted, I never done anything to damage it, I read that if you hold the power and volume down it will go to the bootloader, where I would be able to factory reset the phone, but even after hold those 2 buttons, still the phone is showing me no sign of life.
What should I do?
try to put in under charging, is the led red?
if it is, wait 10-15 minutes and try to go into fastboot with power button and volume down, and do a factory reset, or fist you wipe all your things try again to boot it up, maybe it was just without battery charge. is your phone new? or it's secondhand?

The phone is second hand, but condition wise its practically new, there's doesn't seem to be any damage, and its still under warranty, the seller said that he never had any problems like this.
When you says "put in under charging" do you just mean charge it? If so I have done that with both the computer and the AC adapter, and the LED is not lighting up.

Try plugging the phone into your PC via the official usb cable,
I know you've done that, but Whilst it's plugged in, press volume down & power at the exact same time and keep them held until your bootloader screen shows.
The good news is, I've had this happen to me - i just kept trying.

Yeah, I you should be leaving it plugged in.
Next step is to get Android SDK installed on your pc, even though it appears to not come on, you might still be able to run a fastboot charging script that will force your phone into its bootloader.

Update your packages on Android SDK
place the fastboot charging script in the same folder that fastboot is located on your pc
Usually: C:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
Double click the script
I have the script, it but won't let me share it to you.
It's on XDA though somewhere.

Leave the phone connected to the charger for a few hours. If it doesn't want to work, try pressing various combinations of volume and power buttons. Otherwise I suspect you have a brick.

The thing I notice aswell after leaving it charge all night, is that it doesn't even get slightly warm. I can't believe HTC get away with releasing faulty crap like this. I had a 2 hour teaser before this started... Good job HTC.
Edit : Oh well, I gave up, I tried everything and anything and it wouldn't work, so I've sent it to HTC for repair since its still under warranty.
Edit2 : It took them a while, but there finished repairs now, and its on its way back to me. They replaced the Mainboard and the battery.
hello..just for sharing,.just now i woke up from bed and see that my phone cannot turned on.. you know what, during charging last nite, i forgot to off the screen(press the on button) so that my phone screen was kept turning on all the night,,.. i'd try to connect it with the charger but it still didnt work.no LED at all. after i read the comment from some of u, i decided to connect it to the PC .. fortunately, the red LED came out..
after wait for sometimes it was turning on..but sometimes can turn off back... its because of the bttery.. anyway, im so happy now.. hahha :laugh:
Hi guys I have a problem. My phone doesn't charge I tried with the USB wall charger, other phones chargers and no charger fixes it. I plug it in sometimes it starts blinking (the red light) and than turns on but in next 2 min it is off again.
Please someone

Yes in the latest recoverys the batt will charge that's correct, but it is not charging on the bootloader screen !
CWM 5.8.4.0 and higher have this function for sure.
And I can't do anything cause I locked the phone and now when I select power down he is up again when I turn the charger. I don't know what to do.... But I think I have faulty battery cause I charged him to 100% before I got him oem lock....
Yeah that's strange, can you enter the bootloader now ?
You can try this battery script
https://www.dropbox.com/s/aaah8gqz8j024xz/Batt script.bat
Copy the file into the fastboot folder and run it. It reboots the bootloader constantly and charge it little by little..... Maybe it gives the extra power you need to unlock and flash a custom recovery to charge in there.
Even if you charged it full. Its the only option i have
Ok I have reseted him about 40 times now and he reacted. When I could flash I didn't want to unlock him again so I flashed the RUU and it is all going fine hope it works and many thanks
"Fingers crossed"
It worked, thank you for an advice with the rebooting ))
Great news mate !
CASE CLOSED !
So occasionally if I'm up too late, I don't hear my alarm (on phone). Well, I had noticed recently it got super warm to the touch if I overslept a bit, I think because it just buzzes constantly while plugged into the wall.
Anyway, it won't turn out now without direct power plugged in. Tried reformatting, wiping cache, everything.. I can get it plugged into the pc and booted up but as soon as I try to select media storage, it fails. Won't turn back on now even with it plugged in.
Any suggestions, did my battery just croak?
TYIA.

For real? Man, I'll be honest.. I had to break my flashing addiction, so I intentionally got an older Nex, so I could root, and leave it the F alone.. Haven't flashed a ROM since I owned it (bought it unlocked like 12 months ago), couldn't even tell you what ROM is/was on it..
Since when is it a bad thing to charge overnight? I adopted that habit when I went android. :/

well some phones don't have any problems with ovecharging but its not recommended nevertheless
heard some batteries were F***** up from overchargind
Same exact thing happened to me...thought the phone was fried. I replaced the battery as a last ditch effort and she lit up like a Christmas tree. And as for that last response, I leave mine on the charger all night literally every night without any negative issues. You cannot overcharge the battery on an android phone. They have protective charging circuits, just like laptops.

I'm hoping it's only that but wouldn't it fire up with wall charge? It freeze on the Google loading screen.. have a feeling it's cause I wiped it and maybe it didn't finish.
EDIT: Okay, I obviously was a bit messed up earlier.. I factory wiped it, including the OS.. how can I jump an OS onto this thing if it won't boot without charge?
Okay, well the symptoms sound exactly the same as when I fried my battery. At first, mine would only boot with a wall charge, but then it stopped doing even that. The only thing I could get into was the boot loader. I'd try a new battery before worrying too much. In the meantime, however, can you see if the phone is being recognized by a Windows PC, or if you can get the bootloader?If it is bricked, there is a bit of software called OMAPFlash that i used once that can completely reset the phone's programming.

If you just wiped the OS from recovery you should still be able to boot into fastboot. Are you able to boot into fastboot (power+volume up+volume down)? If so then it is not hard to fix.
If you can't boot into fastboot, try:
1) Without battery, plugged into wall (try a different charger)
2) Without battery, plugged into computer
3) With a different USB cable.
Does it vibrate when turning on? And does it go into fastboot?

When I plug it in, the initial charging indicator comes up (Battery with lightning bolt), but won't otherwise turn on via holding power.. or get into fastboot at all. If I plug it into my pc, it initially shows the power indicator again but same deal. Interestingly enough tho, my pc makes the sounds it makes when it's syncing or installing usb drivers for something.. except it starts, then stops, then continues.. it's non-stop trying to sync but nothing is happening, it's almost as if it's getting either a partial charge/connection and then it stops. What I thought before was a battery I'm thinking is worse cause I can't get the thing on at all now. :/ Might be time to hit Verizon today..
It was the battery but now I have no OS on the phone.. UGH. I can't get it into storage mode to pull a new ROM over from PC to flash. Anyone know how to force a ROM over via adb?

Boot into a custom recovery, adb will work there.
