So I know there is a TWRP recovery (currently using it, very nice job and am very thankful for the work put into it).
My question is, is there an updated recovery that fixes powered off charging? Additionally I notice the battery percentage indicator says 66% regardless of actual battery percentage, put of curiosity (not necessity) is this fixed. And lastly can we charge while in recovery mode?
While I do not see either issue as a major problem right now my concern is if I ever accidentally let my battery die, as a fix is not as simple as pulling the battery out and charging it in another phone/dock charger.
There hasn't been an updated version of TWRP yet, so no offmode charging or fixed battery % in Recovery. I just flashed back to the stock recovery so I can charge. It's not a big deal or long process to flash TWRP back when I'm ready to install a ROM or something else.
As for charging in Recovery, I would tend to think that it won't work. Although you could try charging while on the bootloader screen. No idea if that will work or not. Probably worth testing both if you plan to keep TWRP on your device.

Thanks for the heads up. Any chance you have a link to the stock recovery?

WARNING! I got this from another user, not sure where it came from. It works on my AT&T One X+, I can't speak for any other device versions.

I've been flashing roms and whatnot for a couple years now but never really gotten a firm understanding of this: I know it is advisable to have a full charge when flashing a rom, but what about flashing, say, a radio, or a kernel? What is it that makes having a full battery a good idea (other than the obvious not wanting the phone to die in the middle of a flash).
Thanks
The phone can't charge during bootloader.
so if you brick, you need a dev cable or a backup battery.

Hi guys, I have a gigantic problem, which I hope you can help me with.
I installed the siyah kernel yesterday and ontop the cyanogenmod 9. Phone did not charge over night. To be more precise, my phone ist not charging at all.
Any idea what I can do? Any suggestion that gets my phone running again is welcome. Otherwise I have to run out and purchase a new battery and give it another shot.
Thanks!!!!

1) CM9 is very much an "experimental"/alpha build. All manners of problems/bugs/issues are to be expected.
2) To the very best of my knowledge Siyah does not work with CM9 because there are no ICS kernel sources available at this time.
Flash stock firmware to get your phone back to square one, then root your phone with a CFRoot kernel, then you can install Siyah. From there, if you're still keen, choose another rom.
CM9 is not for n00bs.
I had used the cyanogen stuff multiple times before... I am not even certain if it is the ROM that is causing the problem.
As I said. The phone just won't charge for some reason... I did follow your suggestion and flashed a stock firmware again and finished. Since about 5 minutes I can't even get into the download mode because the battery is too low.
I don't get it.
Its almost as if the battery is busted.
Oh well... I guess thats the price for stupidity.
Same problem here. I assumed after flashing cm9 all old kernel stuff would be replaced. However if phone is dead the phone will not charge. So I've switched batteries and its not the battery it is the old kernel. Perhaps it messes with the boot loader. Im go
ing to Odin back to stock and hope that will fix it.
So this happend yesterday, I plugged it in my computer and my phone just shuts down all a sudden (because of the USB port). Now it keeps saying it is charging, even when it is not, the red light stays on, even when the phone is powered down. Only when my phones battery is out it stops, but as soon as I plug the battery back in the light pops up....
After an entire night of charging the phone is not even fully charged it was stuck around 85%. Never reached green.... I flashed it twice, once with a different rom once with the exciting rom...
Any ideas on how to fix this?
The phone is S-off rooted unlocked if that is to any help.
Please help.

Have you tried wiping battery stats from recovery?

How does that go in its work? Sorry for the late reply, have not been in country.
It sounds like to me there could be a few things that are the problem. First, it could be the recovery you are using. If you are using cwm then I suggest getting rid of that and flashing twrp or 4ext. If you already have one of those recoveries then it could the kernel you are using. Depending on the rom you are on flash a different one to see if that stops the constant red light. You also said that your phone shuts down instantly when you plug it into a usb port. That could either be a rom or a kernel issue. Try flashing a different rom and kernel to see if that helps. Lastly, if none of these haved worked then rule out battery by using a another one and another charger cord. If those didn't help then you are probably looking at a hardware issue. In that case you would have to return your phone to complete stock before you send it in for repairs. Also if you do go this route make sure you tell the techs not to replace your motherboard unless it's absolutely necessary. Doing so will render your phone unable to be unlocked and rooted. I hope that any of these solutions will help.

Thanks, going to flash a new rom. Maybe that helps Fingers crossed.
By the way, is there a way to return it in a state of S-on and full stock? I have managed to install ICS rom, the HTC release.
Tried a battery, seems even a NEW battery does not fill to a 100% rate, stops around 83-86%

Are you CDMA or Gsm? Also are s-on or s-off?

Hopefully the ROM worked for you, because it does sound software related if you tried a new battery.
I was saying wipe the battery stats because it'll clear all battery info and it'll re calibrate itself.
However, yes, you can go back to full S-ON.
If the new ROM didn't help, I'll show you how to get back to stock.
My phone is GSM.
Rom didnt do much for me... tried 2 different ROM's excluding the official one.
So, I made it S-off, I have it ''relocked'' anything else I need to do before I can send it RMA?
I did clean out my USB port btw. Could it be a hardware related problem?

I found this guide, now my issue is. I S-off'ed my phone with Hboot 1.5xxxx not with 1.4xxxx Is that any problem if I am about to revert it?
Since your s-off you can revert back to whatever hboot you want. Just keep in mind it has to be a stock boot loader. No custom ones or you could brick your phone when you write the security flag command in fast boot.

So, that means I can choose whatever RUU as long as it is for my region and phone? After that I can lock it once again?

If you can show me please. I did use the wire trick to get it S-off if that is relevant.
So I recently came back to my rezound to mess with roms and stuff and upon trying to boot I realized it wouldn't boot. When plugged in the battery would not charge so I went to Verizon and had them test it and the guy told me it wouldn't take a charge when he plugged it in. So i got a new battery and now the phone boots....but its stuck in a loop on the HTC screen. When I boot to hboot and try to get into recovery it just goes black. Next I tried fastboot and adb commands and all it says is device not found. I tried re-flashing recovery and new roms by naming it ph98img on the SD card and it says the charge on the battery is to low. I plug the phone in and try and charge it it just won't charge the led light will come on for a brief second then turn off and then proceeds to go the white htc screen for a few second then it turns off then the charging light comes on again rinse and repeat. Now i think the battery is drained because I can't get it to boot to hboot but it will still do the boot loop if left plugged.
What i remember from the hboot screen was
Locked
s-off (it said vigor shipped)
hboot 2.25.00
I could have swore I had the boot loader unlocked and juniper bear hboot installed and I know I had do the wire trick to s-off so it shouldn't say shipped right? I don't remember which radio it was running but that shouldn't affect it booting right? I'm all out of ideas at this point and was hoping some one could either give me more things to try or something. I've already tried everything in brick threads as well. I wanna try charging the battery and and flashing a new recovery but I don't have a way of doing that.
Any help would be much appreciated.
try getting another device to charge your rezound battery I have a thunderbolt and i charge the extra battery like that.
ive only tried this with other htc devices
Once I get the battery charged then what? Flash recovery in hboot then go from there or is there a reason in adb it says device not found?
Well you can try flashing a new rom but i had a similar problem before when i turned my rezound on it would boot loop and i flashed the newest RUU and that fixed it although i had to root again
I remember Feralicious told me that s off is more of a risk since you can brick your device easier.
feralicious said:
Yes. Since you are s-on you must flash the kernel that goes with the ROM after you flash the ROM.
If you s-off you won't have to but it makes it easier to brick the phone. I've also read where some people have lost the use of their usb ports trying to s-off. I'm s-on and it doesn't bother me to flash the kernel separately. The ROM I'm using puts it on the sd card and puts the phone in hboot so all I have to do is accept the update. Easy peasy.

Ok thanks I appreciate all your guys help. Do you think if I ask nicely at Verizon they'll charge it for me? The battery that is of course.
That all depends on the rep that you talk to some are nice and some are jerks. You can try a phone repair shop im sure they will charge it for you.

Phone repair shop might be my best bet the reps I talked to at Verizon said they couldn't do it even though the guy did it the other day. Thanks for the tip.

Meh, I've been s-off since the day the exploit was released and I've installed multiple roms and my phone is fine. Only case I've seen of people getting bitten by s-off was during getting CM9 to work.

If you hava an extra charger (Especially one from an old phone that you need anymore) you can cut the wires open and charge the battery that way. I will walk you through it if you think this is something you want to do.
After it is charged factory reset (as in wipe, I dont think that you need to actually go back to stock) and try flashing a new rom that uses the same or similar boot.img (stick with sense if thats what you have now, or if you are de-sensed try Neo's rage rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899085 I have found it to be very very stable)
Make sure that after the factory wipe you also wipe dalvik cache and cache. They sometimes fail to wipe I have noticed (it is very rare but happens)
----------------------------------------------
I forgot to mention that you should stick with he android version that you are currently on.
Also forgot to say my OG droid had the exact same charge problem. But I fixed it just by using a facory charger plugged into the wall (not a usb port that didn't work for some reason). My dads HTC Incredible was charged by the wire method that I mentioned

So I got the battery charged and tried flashing new recovery and it still doesn't do anything just sends me back to htc boot screen and loops. I've tried flashing a stock RUU and still right back to the loop. I've tried factory reset and clear storage it sends right back to the boot loop. I have no idea if their is anything I can do at this point. Still get device not found and wait for device from adb and fastboot commands. I noticed that the water indicator is tripped could something have got wet and be dis-functioning inside?

Sorry for taking so long on replying. If the water tag has been tripped then maybe that is the problem, but I would doubt it. I would think from what I have seen that when it is triggered if the phone is going to fail it fails hard. It might light up, but no boot loop. The kernel is trying to load if you have made it all the way to the boot animation. Its like on a computer the bios flashes while the cpu, memory, and storage are checked. Only if they all appear to be working will it move on to the next step.
From my computer (not phone) experience I think you could have some bad ram. It it comes loose or maybe is damaged it could still (possibly but unlikely) pass the mem check. If you have dropped it this could be more likely but I'm not really sure.
If you have insurance on the phone you could get it replaced. Just tell them that you lost it. Do not mention the water or they will charge you more.
You might also want to check this out. I have not downloaded it or looked at it, so It may be out of date(probably is) but hey its worth a try

There isn't really any instructions in the thread on how to use it but it looks like you need fastboot to be working and a linux box. My fast boot doesn't work so idk if that would even help and all of the download links are dead anyway.
Thanks for the help though.
I just purchased a new battery and wall battery charger. now I thought initially it was an issue with my battery being dead, but have two fully charged and still having issues. Issue I am having it when I try to boot it it will get to the s2 splash screen then it just repeats it. And yes I even tried odin to no avail. Same issue still persists. any idea to a solution? It appears I can only access download mode, no recovery, or normal booting.
EDIT: Fixed that issue...now trying to remember how to flash the CWR on it haha
You don't install CWR on our phone, it's included in the custom kernels.
You need figure out which firmware version you're running, such as Gingerbread, Jellybean etc. Then flash a compatible kennel and you'll have the recovery you want.
