NEED DESPERATE HELP ! ! ! [/B]
My HOX+ ran of out charge completely yesterday while I was playing a game on the phone. I plugged the phone in for charging via USB, the red light blinked three times and stopped. There is no sign of the phone charging anymore. So I then tried charging it via an AC adapter. The red lights stays there for only about 5 seconds and disappears again.
I have tried already tried to hard reset (power + volume down) the device. No sign of recovery! I also tried removing the SIM card and tried charging. This wasnt of much help either.
Please help with out any charge I'm not able to see a lot of options for my phone????
Have you ever flashed a rom or unlocked the bootloader?

Will do!
My recovery is kind of under a big question mark. I was using CWM but due to certain reason i wanted to shift to twrp. So i got rid off the CWM and flashed Twrp. However when i booted into recovery it just showed a black screen. This happened about two weeks ago tho. Could this be the issue?

Could be,
Visit Lloir's thread or TWRP official site and install the TWRP that is relevant to you (INTL / ATT)
you need to restart in fastboot to flash recovery.

I did that previously. I used the recovery suggested for my phone. Something still went wrong with the recovery.
I cant restart in fastboot. The phone is dead, No charge to even flash a ROM or do anything to recover my phone.
I think its time to give it to HTC. Hopefully since the phone doesn't switch on they probably wouldn't be able to figure out its rooted.
Thanks for your help guys but I think its time to call it.
Time of death- 10:28 P.M

Okay So I left the phone on charge for 27 hours. No lights and no sign of any activity. So then I had this little whack idea
I plugged my phone into the PC first. As I mentioned earlier- When I plugged my device into the PC the light blinked three times and then no light at all.
So this time when i plugged it into the PC I held the power button and waited for the three blinks after this I quickly took the usb cord and plugged it into an AC adapter while still holding the power button and Voilaaa
The phone is completely functional again.
Glad to have put you on the right track

But never when it is not even turning on...
Hi All.
Not exactly the same problem but very similar. I've opened my HOX+ a little (just enought to measure the pogo pins by inside). Then, when my device got discharged (already closed), I plugged the AC power and turned it on. During the boot screen, It suddenly turned off and now, when I plug the power the only thing I got is a red light blinking forever. No boot screen.... My device was unlocked and flashed with Elegancia for some days before it happened.
Does anyone has any ideas? Now I have a pretty fancy paperweight!

the flashing red lights = it's charging but not enough juice to boot, so leave it on an AC charger for about 30minutes

After some hours, all still the same. I think that this could be due to a bad contact. I dont know? Any other thoughts?

So I rooted and installed CWM, and now when I try to charge my phone WHILE it is off, the charging light wont come on, which means is not charging while off at all. Has this happened to anyone else? When the phone is on, it charges just fine.
EDIT: Just tried it with FastBoot on, and now it charges when powered off. So to anyone having the issue, try this.
EDIT 2: It appears this only happens when on CWM recovery. TWRP does not exhibit this problem.
I've noticed the same on my end.
Try a different recovery.
Locked & Loaded
same
Same result here, i woke up to a dead phone this morning.
Happen to me too with different recovery.

Out of curiosity, were your phones _off_, or in the hibernation state that is used for Fast Boot?

Mine was in the "hibernation" state, but before I had root, I could charge the phone while off with either FastBoot off or on. Anyway, I already changed recoveries to TeamWin's, and Im in the process of a Nandroid backup, so as soon as its done, I will try to charge with both FB on and off to see what happens, and I will post results. BTW, I've seen that this has happened to quite a few more people, so it might be a widespread problem that not a lot of people know because most of us dont ever turn off the phone to charge it.
I dunno.. havent tried that but why do u turn your phone off to charge it anyways lol

Well, if you run your battery until the phone turns off, it'd be great to be able to charge it in your own phone instead of an external charger or non-rooted/s-on phone.

For one, the phone charges faster this way because its not using any power at all.
I have fastboot turned off in the menu and mine charges fine when I turn it off. I'm using Teamwin Recovery

I can also confirm this, so it appears to be a bug related to CWM recovery, can any of the guys that still have that recovery and is experiencing this problem try to charge with FB off while the phone is off and confirm if it works or not?

Same here. I did notice however, the light would not turn green while off... It was on the charger for 7+ hours. Weird. I'm using TWPR.
It's definitely the cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img recovery. I just tested with both twrp and cwm. twrp allows the phone to charge with fastboot off and phone off.
Fastboot on isn't really a 'fix' because the phone never goes off completely from what I understand. I just want to know I can charge a dead battery in my phone if I ever needed to.

This.
This might be a serious problem to anyone whos using this recovery and their phone dies before they can get to an A/C outlet (for example, on a car w/o a car charger, etc). I will send the developers a quick note for them to check this out.
Good work on figuring this out... Im sure we will see more folks wondering wtf is goin on with their batteries

I can confirm this. Using CWM the phone does not charge when powered off. Whats the best way to remove CWM and install TWR?
when you turn off the phone and plug in the charger, the red light does go off in a few seconds, but my phone was fully charged overnight (without the red light on)
Mine charged to 100% this morning. I stuck with CWM, I also flashed OMJ deodexed rom before I went to bed. I plugged it in when the phone was on and awake.

I also wondered if it was just that the led wasn't on, but was really charging. I tried having the phone off with cwm, plugged in charger, led came on/went off, and left it for 30 minutes. It did not charge my battery at all.

no need, spend 5 mins, plugging charger in, til the red light, lights then fades, pull out at this point, then plug in, repeating the process for 5 mins........then, hold (vol - , & Power) booting into bootloader, then plug your phone in, and you will see its charging
had to do it a few times myself

Howdy,
I'm stuck in a boot loop, searching the forum for a similar problem has yielded no result applicable to my situation.
I'm running CM10 and using TWRP (latest I think) and I'm S-OFF. Ive been running cm10 for about a month and have had no problems. This morning I woke up and checked my emails and texts then put my phone in my pocket. When I took it out about an hour later, the power button wouldn't wake my screen but it would light up the capacitive buttons. To try to fix, I did a hard reset (power button 10+ seconds) and now my phone won't boot or show anything on the screen, it just vibrates over and over.(about 10 seconds between vibrations) I also am unable to do another hard reset (the buttons wont's flash or anything). I've tried to get into bootloader and recovery and I can't get into either.
Also, I plugged it into my computer, and the charging light isn't on. According to om4's thread, I think I might have a corrupt kernel? But i don't know how that would be possible since I haven't flashed anything new for a month or so and I havent had any problems previously.
I'm familiar with adb and fastboot. But since I can't hard reset again, i'm not sure how to get into bootloader. Any ideas?

Have you tried charging it to see if the charge light comes on?

Wait....
So does the phone turn on to get adb support?
If you have adb you can reboot into the recovery.....adb reboot recovery
If still no see if you can run a ruu.exe for your device....this will restore your device to factory configuration.
If your phone doesnt even boot or anything thats not good really.

It didn't appear in device manager. I tried to boot into recovery using hardware keys (with the assumption that it could have been powered down) and now its in the vibrate loop again. Should I just leave it charging for now?

It's going through the same steps with the back cover off. Either no vibrating or continuous vibrating and no charge light. Screen is still blank.
EDIT: Does this seem like a problem with the kernel? or is it impossible to say. Is it worth trying to exchange the unit itself at best-buy
I appreciate your speedy replies.
If you don't have anything important on your phone I would definitely take it back to best buy. It's hard to say what it could be but if you were running fine then it all of a sudden happened with no changes I would doubt it would be the kernel

Hey guys!
Some of you may know me from i9001 forums.I stopped developing roms there because i don't have the phone anymore.
You:
Bla bla.I don't care.Tell me what your problem is.
Me:
Ok.I was trying to port PA 3.15 and do a liltle testing.It worked but almost nothig was working,so i returned to CM 10.Everything went fine.
That night i plugged the phone in my laptop (with fast charge enabled) and let it charge all night.
Next morning i plugged out the phone from my laptop (i didn't look at the phone,just plugged it out) and went to watch tv for about 30 minutes .
When i came back in my room my phone was a little hot (arround 40 degrees).
I tried to open it,nothing.
Tried to reset it,nothing.
Connect to pc,nothing,
Connect to wall charger,nothing.
Even the little red led won't blink.The phone is dead.
I left the phone connected to the wall charger for about 10 mins.Still nothing.Any ideeas?
EDIT:I read something about fast-charge mod.This somehow disables the auto-shutdown when the phone run out of battery.This puts it into "super-critical" low battery mode.
I don't know if this is real,i will let my phone charge for 2 hours or so.
EDIT2:I saw now that i posted this in general section.Sorry for that..Any admin please move it in the Q&A.
:crying: any news? did you manage to get it up and running?
No.The phone is getting hot if i plug in a power source.I don't know what to do....

So I have a verizon s4 (rooted) and it is bricked. If I take the battery out and put it back in the screen shows "Samsung" and then goes black and nothing else happens. I cant get it to start in bootloader or recovery mode either.
I am not sure if or how this is relevant, but I have been having issues with the power button, meaning that it wouldnt work when pressed except sometimes if I held it down long enough the "shut down/reboot" option showed up. In short I am not so convinced that it is working properly or maybe even at all.

Stupid suggestion, but try plugging the phone in to charge. I had some odd things happen to my phone where it would try to boot and continue to shut down. I knew I had charge on the battery, but when i plugged in the phone to the wall adapter, it acted like the battery did not have any power left. Once charged enough to boot, the phone would work fine.
