Hello everyone!
Lately I installed Molski's ROM (3.0.0.0) and it worked 2 days without any problems. I had to recharge the battery. I used usb to charge Wizard as I sometimes do without any problems. Wizard was On up to 30% battery, After that I switch it off to recharge it through the whole night. Led indicator was orange. In the morning there was no greed led indicator. Computer was still working correctly. I was trying to switch the Wizard on but I can't!! It can't be switch on?? Why?
I have tried several different methods to switch it on. I also checked the usb cable and it is working..
Do you have any suggestions what happened? What is wrong with Wizard??

I think you have an empty battery now. I don't know how it happened, but you can't charge an empty battery through USB. Try using the wall-charger. When it doesn't turn on immediately try again in a few hours (keep the charger attached).
me too! using the molski rom..
My wizard is now dead. cannot flash/recharge or boot.
I tried the usb lead 'jumpstart' trick and leaving it plugged in overnight.
the battery seems fine (with a voltmeter)
any ideas?
No RGB screen?
yup, nothing. nada.
my current theory is that the battery completely discharged, now it won't turn on and charge. I tried the 'usb' hotwire trick, and saw a glint of hope(screen came on for a brief moment), but it still won't power on. I've ordered a battery and desktop charger and i'll see if that works.
is it possible that the molski rom somehow disabled the auto-off at low battery feature. That would explain things. the wizard is supposed to refuse to turn on before it hits 0%.
recharge the battery on other wizard
let your wizard in Bootloader mode:
[Camera] + [Soft reset]
plug usb then start the original update
it work in sha'a allah
declared dead. tried a new fully charged battery, plus the old battery charged in a desktop charger. doesn't boot or enter bootloader and cannot be hardreset.
the only glimmer of life is that the backlight and power light flicker when the battery is _removed_, but only if you press the power button before removal.
strange considering it was working fine. i guess it's a brick.
wanna sell me your brick for $10?
i will buy your brick for $15

dead wizard
About 3 weeks ago my wizard did exactly the same, tried new batteries, different chargers etc. Nothing. Best I got was as described above was the occaisional flash of the screen.
Fortunately for me the wizard was about 14 months old and I thought was out of warranty. T-mobile (UK) were helpful enough but wouldn't take the phone but gave me the contact for HTC Europe as the phone has a 2 year warranty (in the UK). Took a little effort to get through to them but they repaired phone (replaced mainboard) and returned. Yippee for me! All I can suggest is that you see if HTC have a local office to you and speak to them.
Note - I didn't have any homecooked ROM! Just the usual updates.
Mine died (slipped into a coma?) on Friday, couldn't force it to startup using any of the standard methods - took it into the O2 shop, and they took it in the back, and made it restart. I think they tried a bunch of different chargers, but they weren't at all surprised to deal with it, and i got the impression it's not an unusual task.
My Nexus One will not charge at all and when I try to plug it into the computer it is not being recognized. The phone itself works but it's running low on power. The last thing I did was flash to CM 6.0.0-RC2 and it worked fine last night and all day today up until a few hours ago. Is there a stock ROM or anything I can do to re-flash the radio and image to see if that helps? Please help ASAP, thanks.

Are you sure you didn't mess up the USB port in the device itself?
Wipe and go back to CM5.08
Wipe and go back to full stock. If it still has a problem its a hardware fault and you should try to use the waranty. Flashing 5.08 or any other custom rom will still leave u in doubt it may be the ROM. Also when/if you do send it back for waranty it'll look alot better if you have stock on it - even if the bootloader is unlocked.
I don't think it will be covered under warranty if the bootloader is unlocked. I was able to put the battery in another one and charge it long enough to put it back to stock. I believe my only option would be to send it back and pay for the repair or buy a dock and charge it that way. Can someone point me to the correct stock ROM just in case I didn't do the right one? I'll have to find a way to charge it up before doing so. I'm open to other suggestions also if anyone has any. It just really sucks that I may have to pay for it because this clearly seems like a hardware problem. It's weird when plugging it into a computer a message will come up about not enough power so the computer is somewhat recognizing it but I can't do anything with it.
Can't you just use wall charger?
I've tried a wall charger, the car charger, and USB and neither of them charge. The computer recognizes it or at least see's some device but I get a message about low power on a USB port.
Have you tried this?

This makes me think that you have an electrical problem. If it is pulling down the voltage on your PC there could be a short in the micro-USB port or something else wrong with the charging system.
A dock would be a good test to see if it is actually the port or something deeper. Watch to see if it heats up too much when charging (it will heat up to some degree but it could get seriously hot if there is an issue).
The phone does not get warm at all when plugged into either a charger or USB port. And @cue_32 I have downloading the original shipping ROM but I have my battery charging in someone else's phone before I can put it back to factory. I have a few things I want to try and see if I can get this thing to come back to life. I don't know anyone that has a dock so I can't really test that part out.
Sounds like the connection of one of the power pins on USB port is broken. That would also result in the phone not being recognized, since without having VBUS it won't detect USB attach and won't start the connection.
I suggest returning the phone for a warranty repair, unless you want a phone without functional USB.
That's what I'm going to do is send it in. It sounds more of a hardware issue and should not have been caused by rooting the phone. I have never overclocked the phone and the only 2 programs I installed that required root access was Wireless Tether and ROM Manager. So hopefully the repair goes well and next time hopefully I can root without unlocking the bootloader. I really don't need root but it's nice to have ROM manager and CynogenMod installed.
Well it appears that the charging port is bad and they want to charge me almost 200 dollars. Apparently this is not covered because it is customer induced damage. I guess I wasn't allowed to plug it in to charge it and sync it. I don’t understand this because it was never dropped or anything. HTC used to be very good but now they are getting worse in my opinion. I had a HTC Dash 3G that the microphone didn't work good and they told me it was opened so they could not cover it when I didn't open it up at all.
Anyone want a Nexus One that doesn't charge? It should charge in a dock but I'm not 100% sure. HTC can kiss all of my business goodbye after all this. Time to go with a motorola or samsung android phone.
If you try to escalate your claim with HTC, I think they might be persuaded to fix your phone for free. Sometimes the lower level guys are pretty stingy, but some of the managers are more likely to hook you up.

I have talked to 2 supervisors and that got me no where. In fact if I didn't call them every other day I have a feeling I'd still be waiting. When I had an iPhone I had a replacement the next day but now it's just over 3 weeks and I am still without my phone. I went ahead and had them charge my CC and I'll just dispute the charge and ask for pictures. I am always careful with my phones and have never had one break like this. This whole thing is just frustrating. I'm tempted on returning my wifes HTC EVO and getting the Samsung moment or Epic.
Hey Guys!
So this morning I almost had a heart attack. I left my phone connected to the charger overnight and when I woke up this morning it wouldn't respond! The power button did not work and I couldn't unlock the phone or even put it on silent. The touchscreen froze up or something. I tried removing the battery but no luck. So I had to factory reset the phone, now it works but I lost my apps/widgets and customizations
Any idea why this happened? I don't want it happening again.

Any recent changes to the phone software-wise? New widgets, Launcher, or something like that? How far in the boot process did you get after the battery pull? Did the animation start, etc?
If you're running clockwork recovery (and you should be! ) then I would have tried wiping cache and dalvik-cache (if you didn't) first before resorting to a full factory wipe.
I'm running stock. The only change I made the night before was the wallpaper. After battery pull it would go to the lock screen, except it wouldn't respond at all not even the power button would respond. T
I want to root the phone but I've been having USB problems. The cable I have apparently doesn't allow transfer of data so I orderd an OEM cable that I'm still waiting on.
The cable is just a cable, never heard of a cable that wouldn't allow data to be transfer... And the problems you told seems to be hardware issues and to me It sounds like you have a faulty phone, you should just replace it.

I can't... bought it off of eBay. I was told to get another cable, some other people seemed to have that problem and a new cable fixed the problem.

i can actually vouch this is true, my brother had a G2 and i used my usb cable to transfer data, nothing. then i got the white one that came with the phone and it worked.

I've used cables with some pins shorted (in effect disabling data transfer), for a generally faster charging experience. I've owned a few cables bought from everywhere and some doesn't allow for data transfer especially cheap ones I picked up from eerie places.
In any case, if he was using the cable that came in with the phone, I'm pretty sure it is data-enabled unless he pulled it hard enough to damage the data line. That OR he doesn't have the correct drivers installed.
Well, lets just hope its a cable issue & not a hardware issue. Let us know how it goes.

Same happened with myphone after some app updates (think it was Google earth). Tried restart multiple times without any luck. Then I changed my sim and it worked magically this time!
Came back to my original sim and everything was fine after that.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I tried taking the sim in and out, didn't help.
After factory reset its working really great now. I'm assuming it was an app or something. Sucks how I lost everything though.
I'm still waiting on the OEM USB. Just to let you know, the USB cable I have lets the phone charge, when I connect it to my MBP or any other computer but there is no option to go into USB mode on the phone and its not detected by the laptop.
I did manage to transfer music using a very great app that I bought, AirSync. Just wirelessly transferred my music over so the USB not being able to transfer data isn't to much of a big deal anymore.
UPDATE:
So I just received an OEM cable and charger. IT WORKS!
I can finally connect my MBP to my Nexus S.
Next step: Root
Ok so last Sunday the phone started acting funny:
Preface:
-Dropped it a few times ~3ft in a case, no apparent damage
-CM 10.1.3 RC2 (I had been running this for awhile)
-Stock Kernel
-No non-mainstream apps running (all from the google play store), nor apps that mess with performance/function.
-No tweaks or other things.
Issue:
-Sunday:
-Last Sunday my phone would randomly shut down and get really hot, reboot all that jazz
-WAs working perfectly fine before, I didn't install any new apps or tweak anything.
-Wipe, reinstall 10.3.1, reinstall gapps (this was already on internal SD)
-Problem persists, ok I'll get a different rom
-Plug in USB, device not recognized, charges but, cannot recognize the device (not appearing in Device Manager either).
-Reinstall LG drivers... nope still not helping.
-Use Airdroid, wipe and install P.Android 3.99RC2
-USB still not working, otherwise seems stable, charging.
-Monday:
-On my way to job interview, running google maps, and google music.
-3/4 of the way there phone gets hot and maps locks up.. reboot.
-Will not start up sometimes
-When it does startup, it will lock up in maps and reboot, or just reboot before I get to maps (like when i drop the menu down)
-Manage to get to interview by having maps stay up for more than a few seconds. Turn off phone.
-On the way home the phone will not turn on, and doesn't want to charge for long. (red light goes off after a little bit)
-When it does turn on it gets stuck on the PA boot screen (not freeze up but just stays there) and gets hot.
-Turn off phone.
-Buy a Note III
-Try to charge N4 wirelessly... doesnt work all the time, the pad makes the noise but the phone does not light up and charge (moving it around doesn't help)
-Give up for awhile
-Last night
-I put the N4 on the wall charger and the red light turns on ... great it's charging
-This morning:
-Take it off the charger (charging light is off) and it is charged to 54%... wtf
-Turn it on... boots.
-Find out I have 3 weeks of warranty left (Nov 11th) call Google.
-Phone is working fine (no USB still, on my work computer this time)
-Listen to the blatant ripoff that is the warranty (more on this later)
-20min later phone is at 19% (battery stats says that the main draw is the screen: 39%)
Ok so that's the story so far. I have about 3 weeks to make a decision on the RMA but the warranty service is such that if your device is not faulty when they receive it, they will not only charge you for the device they sent you but they will not give you back your old one, in other words you basically sold your phone to Google for $0 and you bought a new one at full markup. This makes little sense to me as if I'm paying for a new phone, I want my old one back. Compounding this, a new NExus should be released in a few weeks, if I am gonna pay full retail i might as well get the new one, but I digress. I am going to put it back to 100% stock and locked, and see what happens there, but I am wondering:
-if anyone has had similar issues with this phone?
-If I chose not to chance sending it in, how hard is it to change the battery (I've done a iphone 3GS before)?
-What can come loose in there?
Thanks! :good:
It is fairly easy to change the battery, I had to change mine my self because I already replaced the screen my self, and Google doesn't accept a phone if you took it apart. The problem here is that I am not sure if its your battery that has the problem. Mine was expanded, so the glass back was somewhat bent and not flat. Do you have that problem? You might have a problem with the USB or the battery. When I had my battery problem my phone was charged at 100% and when unplugged it would die at about 80% and then when I plugged it back in I would get 30%. Also I almost never got a red light of death except for once and it wasn't due to the problem. I would say you should try doing an RMA, but first try factory images

Yeah seems like the usb port and maybe the battery as well got shake because of the drops.
You can open the back cover, look visually at the battery to make sure its not inflated, also disconnect the battery's flex cable and reconnect... See if nothing broke at the usb port (on its board).
Sounds like battery might be the culprit.. Try the suggestions above^^^
let see...dropped it a few times ~3ft in a case ||
Let me start from the begining.
So the other day I plugged my phone into USB in order to charge it (I had to keep it close to me hence why I didn't plug it into the wall charger). The phone was charging, showing up as a media device on the lappy, etc. I was doing stuff on the computer then I heard it vibrate so I went to see what it was. The blue notification light was on (facebook notification most likely) and when I pressed the Menu button the screen didn't come on. I also tried the Power button but same thing. So I decided to restart the phone. Since then, it hasn't turned back on.
I tested the battery in another device and it's working perfectly fine. Neither recovery nor download mode work. I tried to do some of the tests people recommended for sudden death, like plugging it into usb and leaving it for a while, trying to kick start it (putting battery in while holding the recovery buttons) - you name it, i've done it. I even went to the lengths of taking off the back cover to see if theres any crap that got in there, maybe a loose connector, anything burnt - nothing. Unfortunately, I don't have a multimeter to see if there is a charge running through the board. Looks like sudden death to me, the only thing is - I rooted the phone on the 1st day I got it and I don't live in the country where I bought the phone so sending it over for warranty repairs would be a pain in the ass. What can I do? I would greatly appreciate your help, if you manage to help me fix my baby, I will ENSURE to send you a donation for a nice, big, cold beer (or maybe a few).
Looking forward to any answers! I really need my phone, I use it for work.
It seems like a hardware issue... you need to take it to a local store to scan it's hardware.... maybe something gone wrong while charging which made something be destroyed inside it..... hope its not the motherboard.....
it happens sometimes, when charging current fluctuate, it destroys the charging circuit and in result it damage the whole current circuit, local repair shop can solve the issue.
