[GUIDE] Debrick your Rezound (Clockworkmod charging issue) - HTC Rezound

So after my battery ran out today I realized that Clockworkmod does not allow charging while the phone is off... This left me in a tricky situation where I could not charge my phone at all. I had seen others mention using another battery but I did not have one on hand. Here's how I replaced Clockworkmod with Amon-Ra to fix it (this also works for all recovery images that I know):
REQUIREMENTS:
-Computer with ADB
-Rezound with Clockworkmod or other faulty recovery
-Amon-Ra's recovery image (attached)
1) Unplug USB and remove battery
2) Put battery in
3) Plug USB into computer (with ADB installed)
4) Enter "adb devices" until you see your Rezound show up as recovery. During this time, the orange LED may either blink shortly first or be solid for a few seconds and then turn off. Once it turns off, it should be accessible over ADB.
5) Grab your amonra recovery img and use adb to copy to phone.
Example: adb push amon-ra-3.15.img /tmp/amon-ra-3.15.img
6) Flash the image to recovery.
Example: adb shell flash_image recovery /tmp/amon-ra-3.15.img
7) Reboot your phone (adb reboot) and repeat steps 1-3 (but this time using wall outlet)
8) Sit back and let Amon-Ra save your Rezound. Once your orange LED has been solid for over a minute, you should be good

Nice guide

It is discontinued. I don't even really know where to get it anymore lol.

Granted, I don't use CWM, but nice job.

Rom manager. Also he offers touch for pay (which is what I mistakenly purchased thinking it could mount the internal sd. Either way though I agree, it is not safe for the average root user even to have a recovery that doesn't allow charging even through a wall outlet. It should only list Amon-Ra's under alternate recovery.

Thanks, I know the average user is using Amon-Ra or TWRP but figured I'd put this here so we have a clear guide for getting out of this situation where some users may end up returning their phone to HTC (possibly getting charged after the fact)

Its odd, those same people who can't search to find out how to fix the problem, can find CWM

I'm fairly new to the Rezound. Came from the Nexus side because I wanted a more multimedia-friendly device (better external speaker/camera/same res). I bought mine pre-rooted and flashed to Clean, which was pretty nice - until I ran into this issue. I bought another battery from Verizon and hooked the other one up to an external charger. I figure it won't hurt to have two batteries anyway.
I know a ton of people have bad things to say about CWM but is this really the only issue? It flashes just fine, right? I ran a nandroid on what I have now and tried to install the latest leak, but I got a ton of reboots. Eventually reverted back to Clean. Either way, thanks for the writeup. Would have saved me a ton of stress over the weekend, hahaha.

Nice work djh816. this was the thing i have always feared lol. matter of fact, this is a HUGE weight lifted out of my mind. Thanks so much for this. keep up the good work

nice guide but i dont think anyone uses cwm anymore. still, thanks

I do. Haven't had issues. I just, if you can believe it, charge my battery before I do anything.

The OP of this thread are the instructions... Just do Steps 2-6.
Edit: or use hasoon2000's first AIO toolkit, which has AmonRa as a flash option (also another lingering source of CWM):

Haha I was fine as well with Clockworkmod Touch and had no clue it even had that problem until my battery finally drained all the way. Then I was SOL. But yea as he said, following those instructions simply replaces the recovery image. All your data will still be in tact (aside from your clockworkmod backups if you have them but Amon-Ra can read those too I think)

Yeah, I figured those instructions would work. You should advertise this as a how to swap between them also. There are others using CWM, and just not talking about it.
Thanks.

I have an easier solution, while phone has been dead for 5-10 minutes, hold power button and as soon as screen flashes plug in the device. Works every time. I also have 3 batteries, 1 original, 2nd from my replacement from warranty, 3rd is extended. I don't ever even change batteries though.

Funny that people are still having/talking about this issue.
I remember when the issue first popped up on the Rezound and people were clueless. All kinds of theories as to the cause and solution.
I knew of the cause from a few phones back... CWM has a history of issues with charging while powered off. I learned of it from an initial release of CWM for a different phone would that when trying to charge with it powered off, would turn on the screen.

Easiest way is to run the command
adb reboot download
boom phone restarts...

I have had this modded version of CWM touch by someone else (I will let him say who he is just in case he does not want to take credit).
It is a modded version of CWM 5.8.1.4-Touch that solves the charging when off problem.
I can not support it but can assure you it works since I have been using it since the beginning of April. I do switch between this and AmonRa for testing my ROM but all my backups are with this.
Still need to copy the .hidenandroidprogress file from internal to external clockworkmod folder to solve the freeze problem when backing up or restoring.
Just install it just like any other recovery.
NOTE: If anyone want to take this and start another thread with it that is fine by me. I just don't have time which is why I never posted it before.

I ended up doing it through fastboot, as I'm a bit more familiar with that, but thanks for the notes and link. I'm now on Amon Ra.
Anything I need to know as a CWM user since, oh, the G1?
And do I need to worry about moving that file so backups work, like you did in CWM?
Thanks again.

Thanks man, this this is totally pimp, sent you a donation - get yourself some good beer!

[Q] Recovery with a broken track ball

Hey all,
Just a couple days ago, my track ball stopped working when I use it to scroll down. In recovery, you need to be able to scroll down to do anything. Is there a way to flash things and do nands without the track ball? I know there is Clockwork, but I don't trust it with the stories of bricking. If anything, all I need to do is be able to flash the flashback ROM so I can send it in and get a new phone.
Any remedies?
Thanks

It happened to me. I was trying to flashback to send it back...no trackball. I found that pushing on the phone with my thumb above the trackball enabled the trackball enough to flash the zip. Keep in mind I was sending the phone back to Verizon for the broken trackball, though, so I wasn't worried about breaking it further.

Thank you and thank you!
By the way, you probably should grab the recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2-trackball-optional.img 1.7.1 version (it has all of the functionality of the "original" 1.6.2 Amon_RA; the first "trackball-not-required" version I built was based on the 1.6.2 source that actually omitted some of the menu options).
Cheers!
i have the trackball not working during recovery issue as well
I have found, and I am almost certain this will work for you, plugging your phone into your charger will get your trackball to work
If I don't have my cord to plug into the usb, I've used a paper clip to press against the top of the usb port towards the trackball and have found this to work as well
if you have any questions on the process please don't hesitate to contact me

Does the problem worsen over time to the point at when it does it if it's not on the charger? Cuz mine's pretty bad on the charger.
I went through this as well. The various tricks to get it to work succeed on some phones and not others, but they're worth a try. In most cases the trackball will continue to deteriorate over time and mine got to the same point where I couldn't scroll down and therefore couldn't use RA to flash. But I needed to flash it back to stock so I could get a refurb from Verizon via my warranty. At that time, I don't think this RA that doesn't require a trackball was available. I asked about if there was and I couldn't find anything about it. Thought about trying to use the RA source and build a version myself but I just didn't have the time and lord knows, screwing that up might have really borked my phone for good, so I get it go. Now that RA without the trackball is out there, I'd use it if you can get that on your phone.
But there's another very easy solution. You can download ROM Manager from the market: ROM manager will let you flash ROMs without the trackball. It uses Clockwork Recovery for flashing and I was concerned at first about the stories of CR possibly bricking phones (in fact this not really a serious risk) or maybe making it harder to return the phone to unrooted stock or something else. But in fact, ROM manager uses Clockwork by only temporarily loading CR in memory, where you can use it to flash a ROM, and it does NOT replace RA! It leaves RA intact on your phone. If you reboot, RA is there. You can use ROM manager to flash any ROM and in my case I used it to flash the easy, return to stock zip that you can find here on the Eris forum. I brought it to the Verizon store and all I had to say was the trackball died and they traded me for a refurb.
BTW, this was a few months ago and there were several threads here with stories about people calling Verizon (not the stores) with tales of woe about their Eris and getting a free upgrade to Incredibles, Moto Droids, etc. if they were very nice about asking. This might have been a time when the inventory on the Eris was low. Anyway, I tried twice times and couldn't swing it - they only offered a refurb Eris. Found a local store with the Eris in stock and did it on the spot.
Now, if an Eris is out of warranty, then the best route is to replace the trackball. There are threads on XDA with all the step by step instructions you need. These are the same trackballs that are used in many of the Blackberrys and apparently those fail frequently and there are a LOT of options available on line for about $3-$5 via Amazon, etc. And hey, you can get them in kinds of whizzy colors ;-p
Hope this helps!
Good luck!

Clockworkmod not working on EVO LTE

Is anybody having problems getting clockwordmod to work. After I flashed it, it loads, but none of the options take me anywhere. All the options on the recovery take me to a black screen with a hat. Let me know if you've gotten clockmod recover to work, and how you did it? Thanks
i am stuck too, cannot get out of black screen with hat
Not sure which version you're using. But the one on the development section had issues.

I simply downloaded rom manager and told it to flash clockworkmod. So I'm not sure why I'm experiencing this problem. I even re-flashed it several times.

Sorry I never came back to the thread, but I believe you are correct. I don't believe CWM works on the EVO LTE yet of what I've heard. As a result I'm just using TWRP which works great.
if you guys get stuck in clockwordmod, simply go to the main menu of it but hitting power button, then HOLD power button... capac lights will blink a couple times, and the device will reboot.
had this same issue.
also, use twrp for now. instruction to flashing it via terminal emulator is on their site! very useful and straight forward method! good luck
Use TWRP and for gods sake done use ROM manager.
Learn how to do things in recovery. Its painfully easy and work 100% of the time. Unlike ROM Manager.
Rom Manager cant save you when it causes a problem and the phone bootloops.
You can also install it via the goo inside app
sent from my EVO LTE
all you guys that are trying to use clockwork are not doing enough research or something because i have seen it over and over a thousand times that its not working for this phone. you have to use TWRP!!! dont ya think something is wrong when everyone thats trying to use it is having problems? lol
I've been running CM as my recovery for a couple weeks now. Sometimes in ClockworkMod, repeated use of the volume up/down buttons can trigger a 'back button disabled' message. When this happens, it becomes unable to select any of the menu options, leaving you with just the logo until you hit power again. For the CM version on the LTEvo, for some reason, the 'back button disabled' mode is the default starting point.
To overcome this, simply repeatedly press volume up &/or down in rapid succession; it usually takes me less than 10 seconds of pressing them. You will know that it worked when you see a message at the bottom stating 'back button enabled'. At this time, you can navigate and select menu items as normal.
Its still not 100% functional as a recovery, however, as USB storage does not work yet.
I've also been using ROM Manager to facilitate my back ups and restores with no problem.
So why would you use a non functional recovery over one that works 100%

For me, its just a matter of personal preference. TWRP is cool, and I used it initially when brought my LTEvo home and rooted it. However, I've used CM since my OG Evo, and I like it. Its simple, fast, and does what I need (except for the storage part, but then I only use that when I forget something).

I understand that you want choice, but recoveries are probably the most important part of the phone for a rooted user.

I don't disagree with you here. Nevertheless, I've been able to use CM for all the essentials I've required of it (namely wiping, flashing, backup, & restore) with zero issue. I may revert back to TWRP for the USB mounting, as it saves me restoring, loading, adding something, and then re-wiping again if I forget something when flashing, but I have no qualms hanging with CM for the time being.

Yeah, I've been using CM for the same reason, I already know it and trust it. But I already switched to TWRP, and I figured it all out now, so it works.
Not trying to troll or anything, but the majority is correct. Clockwork is down and there is no telling when it will get fixed to work with our Evos. TWRP has been around for quite some time now and is trusted, so why not just stick with what's working? Especially when it comes to the important functionality like recovery.
XDA Premium
TWRP is superior: you can queue up files to flash. Plus, its touch interface is about a million times better than CWM's.
I recommend switching. If you're familiar with CWM, you might be wary (I was at first too), but you'll never look back.

[Q] Cannot charge with CWM and drained battery

HTC Rezound with CWM/ICS and Scotty's Stock Rooted RUU 3.14.605.5
Phone battery drained and it would not come back. I plugged it in to the wall outlet and nothing. I plugged it into my PC and I heard the familiar "buh dunk" saying the device was recognized by Windows.
I did some searching and found there is a charging issue with ClockWorkMod (CWM) and the phone battery being drained and that I should use AmonRA in the future. Well I couldn't access the phone but I thought "the PC recognizes it, why can't Hasoon's All In One Toolkit see it as well"? So I ran the toolkit and all I did was click on "AmonRa 3.15 (GB/ICS)" and then clicked on the "Flash Recovery" button and VOILA!!, The phone came back to life!!!
I still haven't checked to see what Recovery I have (phone is still charging), but hot damn my phone isn't DEAD!! The phone booted normally and is charging.
Once I get this fully charged, how can I tell if I am on AmonRa or CWM? I guess with the charging issues I want to be on AmonRa. I have my phone setup perfectly for me and I don't want to reload the damn thing, so any help would be appreciative.
Regards and I hope this helps someone in the future!!

[Q] Need Help! Must get working for tomorrow

Ok I did my first root and install for my rezound. I messed with rooting more back when I had my TB and Eris but nothing more than doing some walk-throughs getting some new roms and such. I got Nils business sense 3.6 working great and what a great ROM! However I ran into a (in my head) major problem. With the knowledge of some people here I'm sure 30 minutes with my phone would get it going, but alas I am a noob, but good at following instructions. I'm good with all things tech until we start talking cmd and coding . Build a comp, fix a computer, OCing that kind of thing.
Anyhow, this morning I woke up to a dead phone forgot to charge, no biggy, I put in a new battery and booted...then got stuck at HTC white screen. So I boot into bootloader and all i get is the IMG updating thing and only an option to reboot. Now I'm in a loop. So I take the PHIMG out of root folder and try to boot into recovery and it goes to the white HTC screen with the small loading bar to a black screen that never changes. Cant get into recovery. Next step, using the Hasoon all in one toolkit (though I know I could use cmd myself, this makes my life easier as it accomplishes the same goal) I try to reflash recovery as recommended by someone here. No change. Alas I know my battery is probably getting low and it does NOT charge while turned off!! Lame...So any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could download and install the latest global RUU. Rename it to PH98IMG.zip and place it on root of SD. Make sure if your S-On to re lock your bootloader. Also stay away from CWM recovery, Amon Ra or TWRP is your best recoveries of choice.

Thanks Snuzzo and Phil3759. This is a great recovery on my nexus 10. I'm looking forward to putting this on my phone.
So glad this finally made it to vigor! Awesome work to all involved

Do we flash in recovery or rename and go through bootloader? I am S-Off.

I Flashed in recovery and all is well. I should have read that before I posted.

Can I assume the wipe option "wipe to install a new rom" preserves both internal and external SD cards. Main thread was kinda generic on this.. Thx

To add using that option would be same as doing a factory reset+wiping /system. Also s-on users beware if attempting dirty flashes the wipe boot option is right above wipe system, WATCH YOUR DIRTY FLASHING!
Like this a lot, thanks. Two issues, one small. Battery life displays 66% at all times.
Also, my ROM had warned me that I had 1% battery life left, so I manually shut down. I plugged in the phone and was greeted by an orange blinking LED. after 1-2 minutes the led went solid. This is the same behavior I had before flashing the recovery. This time when I tried to turn on the phone the led went off and nothing happened. Had to pull the battery to get back to the blinking led, but ended up in the same cycle. After 20 min of being plugged in I couldn't get the phone to start. Luckily I have a battery charger.

Had this loaded up and my Rezound battery died, like completely dead and then it sat for a several days dead... Had it on the charger now for couple hours, won't charge the battery at all. Kind of reminds me of the old CWM charging issues.
Just going to let it sit on the charger overnight and see what happens, then will swap batteries and flash back to TWRP and see if that helps.

Get it into fastboot mode with battery out on charger then put battery in and let it sit for a few moments.

Actually, I just let it sit overnight and I had the comforting green light on the top of my Rezzy lit solid this morning. Guess I just had to be patient...

Sorry for the long post.
I've got a similar issue. I was running the evervolve rom from a few months ago and had wiped data from this recovery. I then wiped the external sd card. I'm packing this away since I have the m8. As that was going my kid had a minor emergency and I ended up leaving it for several days. It was on usb but my computer went to sleep and the battery died.
Now I can't boot into recovery and when I plug it to walk or usb I'll get a few short flashes and one long one then nothing. With the battery out on usb I get absolutely nothing. With the battery in I usually get an unknown driver issue in device manager. Same computer I've used for a year with adb. Since this no combination odd battery/charging well be recognized by adb. I assume my problems are related to the dead battery but it's my only one and I don't have an external charger.
Any ideas?

Plug it in to a regular adapter, not a PC, for at least 8 hours without touching it, it should start charging... If it doesn't you may have a bad battery.

Thanks for the reply, I could definitely believe the battery has gone bad. It's been plugged into an OEM wall charger for a day or more 3 times. The battery is almost 2 years old and with the battery life of the Rezound it has gone through quite a few cycles. Is there anything else I can try to ensure that the phone is still functioning before I go buy a new battery? I'm hoping to keep this around only as a BT streaming device/backup phone so it'll be plugged in anytime it's being used.
