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.

Did you try my method? I'm like 90% sure it will work haha you just got to get a battery from someone. And no need for a computer just download to your phone. It will be in the download folder on your sd

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?
My coworker isn't going to let me use his battery.

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 ...

Well at least you got it, and being blunt wins again.
I will post when I try your method, though I'm worried I'm going to have the same problem with my Power button not working like a Select button. It's incredibly nerve racking when your screen just powers off.
Thanks for all the help. Don't worry, I'm hitting the Thanks button, too.

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.
Edit solved - apparently USB brick causes charging issues??
Fixed running USB brick fix
My phone will charge when switched off. If I switch it on ... Still charges...
But if I disconnect - then reconnect charger... It wont charge.. I then have to switch off. I tried a spare battery too.
On battery status it always says charging (on USB) ... Can someone tell me if it states (on mains) when plugged into to mains usually? I can't remember ...
Hardware fault then.... ?
tried differen't ROM/ Kernel? or use RUU to restore to factory settings and see if problem persists.. if yes then you already saved yourself the time of doing so to send it to HTC
Its also using more battery ... Not changed kernel or rom but since this is a new randomly occurring problem I still doubt its software...
Never seen or read about this issue... Maybe a new phone is calling me

probably not software related.. but you never know.. could always be worth a try if you have the time.
I'll try changing rom later... Might just get a sensation instead lol
I have damaged battery cells Im losing power fast... So not sure how or when I got a USB brick but it started the same time as serious power drain! And I did nothing different ... Hmm
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.

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

Change USB cable/Charger your using, change input, use laptop/PC instead of plug or Vice Versa, or it may be the port where you plug it into your phone, if above fails, the port is probably broke, fnd an angle it charges at, and create a method to always have it at that angle..

If it's still under warranty -- send it in. I'd put a custom rom on mine, and it wasn't even a question. It was under warranty and restarting and having battery issues. They gave me a shipping label, I sent it in, and a week later -- it is running perfectly after they replaced the part necessary.
