Hello, I accedentially discharged my phone really bad to the point where the red notification light flashes when I plug the phone in.
I know that I have to charge up the phone before doing anything, but HTC's settings are being a pain.
As soon as the minimum charge for booting is met, the phone just reboots straight away.
This leads to the phone trying to boot with about 0.0001% battery, and it dies in the process, and the charge goes up a little... and it loops again.
Is there any way to just simply stop the phone from booting?
EDIT:
Tried the following things:
Plugging it in for 2 seconds, then unplugging, repeat 100 times - Failed
Fastbooting every time the phone tries to boot, and selecting power down - Tried about 100 times and I see no future
Plug it in and try to hard reboot by holding power button until capacitive buttons flash 6 times, or

Trying now...
It didn't work, it doesn't get past "Quietly Brilliant".
I read guides, they all say to eject the battery...
I guess I will turn it off via fastboot, let it sit for some time, and charge it after some minutes. I will see what I can do...
So your device is unlocked, have recovery?

Yep. The phone is unlocked and has TWRP recovery.
The phone is in a complex situation. I have no clue when it died. It might have been when I was away when I was waiting for a ROM to install.
Someone please help me... I don't want a Tegra 3 paperweight X+ this early...
I read about people simply charging their phone while it is off in the One X forums, but what do I do if the phone keeps waking itself and commiting suicide?
P.S. Booting in to recovery doesn't work... It goes as far as the TeamWin splash screen before discharging.
Have you tried using a different charger? Maybe one from a tablet, with more throughput...

I would try this, but I don't have any other charger.
Should I buy one somewhere?
Edit:
Could you give me a link to a powerful charger?
From what I understand, your recovery controls your ability to charge your phone WHEN THE PHONE IS OFF, which is the case when you drain your battery to 0%.
It is also my understanding that TWRP for the OneX+ DOES NOT have the ability to charge your device in recovery...and since it controls the ability to charge the device when the device is turned off, your device cannot be charged when turned off with TWRP on the OneX+.
My last understanding is that in order to charge the OneX+ when the device is off the stock recovery must be installed.
All of this is just my understanding from every thing I have read. You may be better off looking for help in Lloir's Recovery thread for the OneX+.
Let us know if you get resolution!
Edit: A "stronger" charger isn't the answer.

So... do I use the RUU?
I have the EVITARE_UL_CINGULAIR RUU downloaded, I just gotta relock the thing and flash the stock recovery.
Where do I get the stock recovery? If I can get my hands on it, I can flash it after what seems to be a decade of fastbooting and powering off.

I believe if you can flash the RUU...that loads the stock recovery over TWRP. The prolblem is...I don't think you can flash an RUU without your device charged to at least 30%...I may be wrong....
EDIT:
Again, Lloir would be able to give you much better advice than I can!

I tried charging in Bootloader, it doesn't work.
I asked Lloid for help but the offline charging he suggested didn't work.
Edit:
I'm tired of hearing the phone boot-suicide every other second. Should I just send it in to HTC? How much would they charge for the battery fix?

Weird, the phone boots, the display turns off, but the phone then boots again, infinitely.
I don't know what I did that makes it do so.
I just have to find the AT&T stock recovery.img. I will post a new thread for that, marking this thread as "[Solved]".
Edit:
Once I find the stock recovery.img, I'm totally making a step-by-step unbricking guide.

Last night I relocked my bootloader, updated to the new leaked RUU, unlocked the bootloader, then went to flash a custom recovery via adb. Now my phone will not turn on.
No recovery or bootloader.
Using this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1552531.html
I can get the orange light to come on, besides that, nothing.
I have run out of ideas and would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you
Sounds like a dead battery. Mine was doing the same thing yesterday after flashing sense4.0. Had to just leave it plugged in for like 15 minutes before it would turn back on.
If you pull the battery (then re-insert) and hold down the volume down button with power does it boot into bootloader?
I will try that, I left it on the charger last night, but it was cold to the touch this morning. However the led was not on.
I also tried sense 4.0 yesterday but decided to go for scott's developer rom.
I will try and make sure the orange light is on it is charging.
Thanks
And thanks for the quick reply.
EDIT
My phone refused to charge the battery, I still do not know why. I ended up borrowing my brother's Thunderbolts battery. Now it works...

Do you have CWM or Amon RA recovery installed? The reason I ask is if you have CWM installed you can't charge your battery when the device isn't booted.
That makes sense, I have CWM. Do you thin Amon-Ra is better?
The Rezound is my first HTC. And I have used CWM in the past.
Should I switch and would I just flash it via adb?

Pull out your battery, put it back in, and try charging your phone for about 30 min without turning the phone on. Then try again. Report back.

Additional info: When the phone is "on" my computer recognizes it, and I can tell it to boot into bootloader using adb. The phone is 100% stock, hboot 1.5 s-on. Also, after the phone is on, and I hit the power button, the capacitive lights turn on, and they shut off once I hit the power button again, as if the screen was being turned on, but it just doesn't display anything.
Also, is there anything I can do to possibly get the display back on. Something like put a stock ruu on my sd card, name it PG86IMG.zip, reboot into bootloader, apply the ruu and perhaps that would bring my display back on? Or is it more likely hardware related which I will have to take the phone apart?
Having the phone on the charger while off didn't change anything. Now I am flashing the latest stock ruu, while it's updating the phone's display SHOULD be on showing the status of the update, but it's not displaying anything. The update completed, the phone rebooted on its own, but again, the display never turned on. Not sure what to try now..?

This happened to me when I flashed a incompatible kernel......now all you need to do is flash a Rom and also flash the boot.img from that ROMs zip using fastboot and you will be good to go.

is your phone's bootloader unlocked with htcdev.com?
If you haven't unlocked your phone yet then I can't say for sure if flashing Rom and kernel will work or.not......
If you haven't unlocked , just use a RUU.exe and your phone should be working again unless its a hardware issue

Okay, so recently, maybe a week ago, I unlocked bootloader, tried to root, but failed.
So I installed a recovery image to the Rezound using the clockwork mod (I believe).
Now, my phone's battery went all the way to 0% and died, and now it won't accept a charge or turn on.
Every once in a while it will turn on, but only for a minute, then shut back down.
One time, I got into ADB and tried "adb reboot" and my phone went into a sort of bootloop, but was still sort of charging.
But now the device isn't recognized and won't do it again.
Can anyone please help me?
yer gonna get bopped for not using the search function!
Anyway, this should get you started...
Flash AmonRa. Clockwork has issues around charging if the battery goes completely dead.

Hey,
I have an HTC One X+ with a little issue:
The phone does not boot up to a rom
I can access the boot loader (HBOOT 1.32)
ADB can't see it (Or I just suck with adb)
AAAaaaand recovery looks like its been wiped.
Help?
You can't use adb at hboot, you may only use fastboot (and only if the bootloader is unlocked). If your bootloader is indeed unlocked then you can use fastboot to flash a new recovery, and then use that recovery to flash a rom. How exactly did you manage to wipe the vast majority of your phone?

I've been reading up. I actually was handed this by a client. Never flashed a phone before, so was just picking up after them. Thanks very much for the fast reply. He says he was following a Youtube video.
On another note, whenever I try to flash the update.zip I get an error:
Archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
Archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I imagine it's a fairly straight forward fix, I just don't know my way around (yet).
Tried dumping EMPTY *.txt files in. New error!
Archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
Archive does not contain 'recovery.img'
Archive does not contain 'system.img'
error: update package missing system.img
Help?
Do you know what the devices CID is? If not you can use the command "fastboot getvar cid" from fastboot. Once you know the cid, search the forum for the correct RUU. Once you have a compatible RUU, conect device to PC while in bootloader and run the RUU. This will restore stock firmare.
Also before you flash the RUU. Make sure the devices bootloader is locked. If it is unlocked. You can use the command "fastboot oem lock" to lock it.

If your phone is bricked this is what will happen. Your phone will shutdown immediately, refuse to start, and the LED will flash red and green when connected to a charger. If this is not happening, your phone is save. Now, clear all ROMs in your phone, make it empty, no ROM, no data. Then, lock the bootloader and flash the stock HTC ROM that can be found in the ROM's thread. This error could be because your flashed an AT&T ROM for an international model, or vice versa. Also, flashing mods that are not for stock ROM can lead to this problem. If this problem cannot be solved, then my advice is to forcefully brick your phone by flashing an incorrect recovery, then bring it to HTC and tell them that for some unknown reason the phone became very hot and stopped functioning. They will believe it as there is a very very powerful engine inside that phone that has every chance of overheating. Good Luck!

Still having that red blinking light issue. Problem is, it doesn't take a charge. When I connect the phone up to the wall, it just gets hot and the led blinks red. I've thought about removing the battery and wiring it directly to the charger, but I'd rather not void the warranty (more than I have already).
Thoughts?

AW: Powers off at boot, except bootloader
Are you unlocked and with custom recovery? If yes just go to recovery from boot loader and let it sit on the charger. Now it should charge unless you have some old twrp version with broken charging.

Hi there!
This thread is my last hope, so please dont let me down folks...:cyclops:
The story short - one sunny morning i turned on my HTC Nexus One and it got stuck with te X on the screen for about 15 minutes, non of the buttons responded, so i did the first thing that came in my mind - i pulled out the battery. After inserting the battery the phone went full brick, i mean literally, no reaction on anything, even conected to the wall charger, there is no sign of life, no charging LED, nothing. Connected to the PC, it says USB device not recognised.
I dont think this is a hardware proble, the phone workwd fine until this interrupted power on. Phone runned on stock Androud, i have not played aroun with it - no bootloader unlock, no rooting.
I searched the internet for a solution, tried a lot of button combinations like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:

Well no, bricked is a term used when you are rooted and flash a bad rom,kernel,etc. You have no root, so you cannot be "bricked". Just a software failure, you cannot flash another rom because, again, you have no root or custom recovery. Your best bet is trying to send it back to your carrier and get it replaced

Now the screen may not show, but try booting into fastboot mode by press and hold the Trackball+Power buttons together.
I'm not sure about the nexus one, but newer nexus devices have factory images, supplied by Google. If they exist for the nexus one, you should be able to save your device by flashing them through fastboot. That is if the images exist and you can get to fastboot.
