any way to charge a phone once completely dead

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 faced your situation once
get into the bootloader and flash back the official recovery

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 !

htc one x red light flashing and phone won't start

I have bought a htc one X a day ago, which was imported from some eastern country. The phone ran well for an hour or something.. and after that, it just dropped dead. The battery was about 60% when it dropped dead. And when I charge, the red light keeps on blinking. It won't turn on, or the red light will not be stable.
When i try to boot into bootloader, the phone does go into bootlader. But I have to keep my charging plug on. If i remove even for a second. the phones switches off again.
I can't go to warranty as this is a replacement. Some guidence will be appreciated. Thank you.

1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF (NOT ON STANDBY) , push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button And HOLD for 2 minutes and let go once 2 Minutes has passed.
Doing this will calibrate the Circuit within the battery charging system.

If the phone doesn't power on & If the red led doesn't turn on while charging your phone then you should take it to service centre.. Might be a problem in battery or the motherboard

There is a batch file running about that helps charge from boot loader.
On phone so can't find it currently.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm currently in this situation myself. I read the thread suggested here, but it helps very little if you can't even get to fastboot. For what it's worth, I do have a custom recovery, but a stock image. And the mother board is okay - I've swapped in a different battery and that seems to work, but I do want to get my original battery to work...

guys i have a solution i guess .. put your phone connected to laptop or computer for several minutes dont remove . it might take sometime and afterwards you will listen the usb connecting voice and the blinking will stop and will be stable and then you can turn on the mobile

If you have a flashing power light
This is when your device has overheated and wont let you start up your OS.
Plug your phone in for afew minutes then hold down the power, volume up and down buttons at the same time untill a white developers screen comes up, disconnected your device from cable and click on recover and leave for a minute then plug you power lead back in and leave again. When you come back to you phone it the LED should be a solid color and you can then boot your device.
Any problems Message me, any time.
Thanks

And then?
After doing reset\calibration of battery circuit we put phone on the wall charger and wait until green LED.

In most cases, must to change the cable or adapter, or both. I had the same problem twice.

HTX ONE X Not charging beyond 2%

Problem started after restoring a nandroid backup. Kept the phone for charging overnight next day it was dead.
The Problem:
1) Phone does not charge fully through USB/Wall Charger tried all types of cables official/aftermarket.
2) The Red LED keeps blinking then becomes stable for sometime then shuts off. Then again need to plug out and plugin the charger again the same cycle continues.
3) When the Red LED becomes stable can boot the phone in OS/Boot-loader/Recovery (5.8.4.0) but it switches of automatically after sometime. In OS the battery seems to be stuck at 2% and does not charge beyond that.
4)Even tried to charge it using Fast-boot method using the script. But the voltage seems to gradually decrease instead of increasing and the device switches off again.
5)Have tried to recalibrate the battery by VOL UP+ VOL Down+ Power and even wiped batterystats through recovery.
Please help me troubleshoot the problem.

simply change the boot loader. similar stuff happened to me when i was in CM. change boot loader and dont open it. charge it with wall charger and then go into recovery then flash a new rom. i don't recommend nandroid backups. use google's backup.

How do change bootloader ?, its not able to flash anything through fastboot as the charge is too low.

sorry wrote wrong i meant change kernel. the only thing you can do is shut off the phone then wait for it to charge. then go to fast boot and flash a new or stock kernel.

OK now it seems that the phone can charge through USB port only charged till 100% green light came on. But stops charging after a while when connected to a Wall charger and starts discharging.
I Have tried to charge it with original wall charger, another one from the HTC Desire Z charger and tried various usb cables too. But none of the wall chargers work with it.
This seems very weird

[Q] Battery charging problem

I have an unusual charging problem.
Many of time but not always, i put my phone to charge and it looks like charging. after some time it says that the power i use is less than i charge so my battery goes down. Most of the time i wake up the morning and it is close. The strange is that some times, before it close i do a restart and the battery is much more up% !!!!!! and other times is still down after restart.
I bought new battery and still nothing.
I tried million restart, hard reset, battery calibration, other chargers and still nothing. It also appears on deferent version of roms. Now i have ViperX.
I cant understand why it happens. I have this problem for months... Any idea?

Try a new charger, worked for me on the same issue.

I have already done. the same problem... but can't understand why looks like doesn't charge and after restart is charched or other times don't. before an hour had to shut down for 5 minutes to start charging!!!!
I have really confused what is happening.

I also experience a simillar problem, and sometimes my phone reboots automatically while charging for no reason. Right now i am using a new charger, and looking for a diff rom other than viperX in the hope that it will solve the problem.

Same problem here since months ago!!!
Sometimes when I open GSam Battery Monitor to check the charge speed it shows me about (-400ma to -550ma) which means it's not charging at all and sometimes it shows me (400ma - 550ma) which means it's charging well (-400ma usage + 1000ma charging = +600ma).
And after trying with another charger (not original one) the charging is good at about +200ma, and USB charging is also about +200ma with Fast Charge enabled.
But, can someone try the charger with another phone brand like Samsung and test the charging speed with GSam Battery Monitor for 2-3 complete charges and compare the speed with his original charger (I mean Samsung's Charger), coz I tried with my wife's device (SGSII) but GSam didn't show me the charging speed! and it was working well with her device.
Could be this something related to HTC Kernel?
Could everyone with\without charging problem tell us what Kernel\ROM he is on?
I'm on Lyapota's Kernel | maXimus ROM and was also having this issue with ARHD with Stock Kernel

the point is that I changed charger and I thought that was the problem. after some days I had same problem again. I don't have this problem every time I charge.
I am on viperx 4.0.7 and stock kernel.
