XDA1 after ROM update battery don't charge fully

Hi all
I need help. I just upgraded the rom of my XDA using the XDA-Developers SER 1.2 ROM 2 days ago. I fully charged the battery before I upgraded the rom and upgraded it successfully. But after I upgraded, when I charge, the battery I seems to charge “forever”. The light indicator would not turn to green which indicates that the battery is fully charged. I did hard reset twice already (after the upgrade). What do you think is the problem? Thanks

Need help pls

since the delveloper rom is kinda old most people cook their rom based on much newer roms in the kitchen's
why did you pick the developer rom ?

Thanks for the reply. I chose the Developer's ROM beacuse the time that I want to upgrade, almost all the rom kitchen sites are unstable and always offline. And most of them do not cook the rom properly , will just give me 300KB rom instead of a 15MB. Will there be a problem if I upgrade the ROM again, I want to upgrade to WM2003. Can you suggest a site where I can just download the ROM, or a more stable kitchen?
I'm also hesitant on upgrade becuase I only upgrade via exe file and usb brando cable, coz I dont have an SD Card and card reader. Pls give me a url for a stable WM2003 rom for my XDA1. Thanks.

pjfuerte - I have been recently having the same problem, but I am on a newer WM 2003 ROM.
What I am actually finding is that if I charge the phone using the cradle, it charges fine and without problems. If I charge with just the power cable and accessory plug (22-pin to DC Jack Converter - see second item in http://www.myqtek.com/Accessories.aspx) the orange light never disappears and I actually have a problem using my phone as if the battery hasn't charged successfully.
I think this is actually due to over use of this plug - I don't think the pins are lined up properly anymore and I can see some damage has occured over time.
Does this relate to you? Try charging the phone using the alternative method to the one you are using now. Cheers, Doms.

Domino,
Did u upgrade via EXE file? Can you give me the rom exe file for the upgrade, that least I know that file is correct and stable.
Before I upgraded to the current ROM that I'm using, (I upgraded because I want to unlock the device) I've been charging with a replacement charger. But it charges fine, and the orange light will turn green if charge is complete.
I also sync via Brando USB replacement cradle. And upgraded the rom via the said usb cradle. After upgrade, the orang light woudnt turn to green and wouldnt specify that charge is complete. I don't have the original accessories the unit was just given to me.
Do you think it is becuase of my charger?

Help needed.... please kindly advise

I'm using P4350..
After I flashed my device with a WM6.1 cooked rom, Active Sync doesn't work anymore.
When I plugged USB cable to my laptop, nothing happened. No detection of new devices,.. etc.
The screen on my device showed nothing as well. But the charging led is on as if recharging only.
When I checked Active Sync Program on my device the check box said connect via " `USB ". There's Grave accent in front of USB. I don't know if that relates or not. If so, I have no idea how to fix that....
Please advise

What rom exactly that you flashed? need more info to help.

I'm not sure
I'm not sure what Rom am I using. The splash screen says ITsPapaBlack by Papamopps. But I'm sure this rom is not from him. This Rom is like a mod from Papamopp's rom.
I got this Rom long ago and discovered this problem just when I want to flash a new Rom.
Is there any other way to flash new Rom without using Active Sync?
I entered Bootloader mode, USB still didn't work.
P.S. I'm so impressed with immediate response and sympathy of people in this forum

hmm... usually the active sync of a particular rom does not affect the bootloader. can you double check when you plugged in the USB cable at the bootloader, there is a "USB" word appears in the lower left corner of the bootloader screen. Alternatively, if your phone has hardspl, then you can flash it using a SD card.

$100 Reward if can fix my T8285

Long story short my phone worked fine for months. Went to a 1.56 Rom active sync stopped working. I have already tried everything associated with AS problem, everything. Went to get it repaired at HTC America in Houston, TX there gay and dont support T8285. I have tried flashing via memory card but I seem to be retarded doing it that way. Engineer said mini usb slot works fine, cooked rom may have corrupted AS. Customer service would not let him fix my phone because it was an "aussie version". I just want the phone to sync is that too much to ask? Anyway $100 bucks to anyone that can make it work paid via paypal immediately.

moved out of development

Personally I think your mad offering $100. I'm sure most people would have hepled you for free, including myself. I'm not after your money but offer my assistance.
Have you tried doing a hard reset? uninstalling activesync & reinstalling it?
Flashing different rom. If you can't flash through SD Card, have you tried flashing again via usb. You don't need phone sync'd
Put your phone into bootloader and then connect to pc via usb. At bottom of screen the text should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. Now flash phone by running rom (cooked or stock etc) you downloaded. Put .nbh and ruu file into same folder and then open ruu file and follow instructions.
I severely doubt cooked rom affected activesync.
EDIT
As bonesy said below, you'll need either USPL or HSPL to flash 1.56+ based rom.
Full tutorial or dummies guide to flashing 1.56+ based roms can be found in cRaCKwHoRe's guide. See my signature

Turn off your phone, Take out your memory card, Plug the miniUSB in then power on (Hold volume down press power holding volume down still) This will bring up a coloured screen. Run the ROM Wrapper package exe (BlackstoneRUUWrapper) This SHOULD now install the right ROM.
Please make sure you are using a 1.56 rom with the HSPL or i think it has problems with GFX.

Please let me know if this helps
Tried to post in ure original threads but mods were moving to trash each time BAH!

Thanks to both of you guys for your suggestions. I thought I was not a noob when it came to flashing roms but once I could not do it via usb I was a whole different story. Yeah I am offering the $100 just to get people to help. I know you get slammed if you ask a question so I figured I would make it worth someone's time. I am going right now to pick it up from the repair center so I will try during my lunch in about an hour.

So I got my phone and this is what it says.
BLAC120 32M
SPL-1.56.01Olinex
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
and it's just red green blue and white no word on the bottom. Ran BlackstoneRUUWrapper with the nbh file that I wanted and it gave me a connection error. Now it says Seiral in the white.

Well I get it into bootloader no problem but then plug in the usb cable and nada, it says serial. So then I tried starting bootloader mode with the cabe and still nada, it does not even say serial. If I unplug it then it says serial. I have tried both ways to run the RUU Wrapper and I keep getting the usb conncetion error

serial?
Hi, please can you post a screen shot of where it says serial at boot screen?

Here yo go. This picture is with me having the device plugged in it charging fine. Then entering bootloader mode. If I unplug then it will say serial. If I dont plug in before then enter bootloader it will say serial still.

thanks
ok, that looks pretty normal,so to recap you fully powerdown the phone by taking the battery out, put the cable into both the phone and pc and the turn on holding volume down and it just sits there?, what happens when you press volume up at this point?

Only thing I was not doing was taking out the battery. Just tried that and still same screen. Nothing happens when I press the volume up button just stays there.

pc
do you have another pc to try this on to rule out an actual active sync problem?

Yeah I have been trying on my latop, home pc, and work pc and nothing same result. I have tried different usb cables, os, reinstalling, everything. Only thing I have not tried is flashing via sd card yet.

brick
its sounds like you have a corrupt spl, it is definately worth trying the sd card as it may allow you to activesync but it may then fallover when it reboots and goes into boot mode. This i where user viperbjk (see android dev thread) may be able to help as he has successfully managed to unbrick a phone.
I had this same problem but powering down and simply triggering the and spl reflash resolved it. your problem sounds different though.

USB Problem

Hi,
if i connect my HTC Touch HD with my computer, it's just charging, nothing more. If i go to Bootloader, there is just written Serial even if its connected.
I am using Dutty ROM since some weeks and didn't had any problems till a few days ago, the strange thing is, that i didn't change anything.
I tried it on my laptop and on my computer the one with windows vista the other one with win xp, it worked on both, but not anymoe.
i also have a problem with the camera, if i press it nothing happens it just stays in the menu. Some days ago i got a error failed to initialize camera, but no more error anymore.
In my opinion my hardware is broken somehow, i hope someone in here can tell me sth different and a solution.
And if my hardware is broken, how can flash my original rom back without an usb connection, because the warenty will be gone with a custom rom i think.
I hope someone can help me.

A hard reset will quickly tell you if it's hardware or software and you don't need usb for that. There is also an option which dictates what the phone does when connected via usb, so you might want to check that option first.

need to read & search a little more
last paragraph of this post outlines how to return to stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2710548&postcount=1

i did hardreset, but still same problem
what i also noticed, is that sometimes my display don't work, i have sound and vibrate feedback, but i see just a black display, softreset etc doesen't work somehow i have to take of the battery.
i noticed also that the usb cable is a bit broken, but it still charges the phone.
but i already saw that normal usb cable should work too, so i tried it but no change.
i guess i will try to get the stock rom again now and see what happens

well like i thought, i can't get the stock rom, because i dont have a usb connection
any more suggestions?

There is 2 methods to flashing roms. Have you tried SD card method?
1. Download ROM image you would like to use, normally named RUU_Signed.nbh, and rename it to "BLACIMG.nbh"
2. Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
3. Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
4. Turn off your device by using the Power Button
5. Go to bootloader mode. Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button.
6. As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.
7. The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.

thanks god i didn't bring the phone to shop yet xD
thank u, i will check this method i will post here if it works later

well now i have another problem
there is written upgrade rom code error please try again on bootloader, i cant turn it on anymore it gets stuck on the loading screen of the flashing progress

I had this exact same problem a while back after a bad flash. What you need to do is flash carriers orginal stock rom onto device. This will be the only rom which will work. Go to wiki section on stock roms here and download your original rom and flash it. Don't worry if bottom of bootloader is blank or doesn't say 'usb', original rom will flash anyhow.
More info read this thread

i am downloading right now, hopefully it will work, i will write more infos later
thank u for your help, without you, i would be lost...

i am stuck, i get error 206 connection
i downloaded stock rom to my pc
and i'm a bit confused, my pc noticed that i pluged in the phone, my device manager showed my phone, this worked only one time, now nothing...
EDIT: in bootloader mode, serial staus doesnt switch to usb or blank, updateing usb driver doesn't work without usb connection to device, at least i didnt found sth here
i will try it on my other computer now, but i doubt it will work
EDIT2: got usb connection for some seconds, problem is my hardware of device its broken somehow, if i press on th eback of the device i am able to get usb connection, now it failed, i will give it some more tries, there was sth 294 ID error
EDIT3: seems like its the wrong rom, how can i find out which rom will work?
EDIT4: semms like i got a working rom its at 10%
EDIT5: Device working again, usb working perfectly again, dunno why, but camera still doesnt work, there happens nothing if i press on it and display turns black sometimes as before.
i flashed an O2 Rom now, from my provider.
My last question now is, what about warranty, how can i know that uspl/hsapl is fully removed from device and how to find out if device is now a case of warrnty, where can i check it? because i want a working camera again, so i think i need the warranty
Some infos:
O2 Provider ROM flashed
On Bootloader i see:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
In my opinion its fine for warranty, but i want someone to confirm this.
And thank you alot for ur help and work in this forum =)

If you have an official HTC upgrade rom on your device you are fine for warranty. As your SPL says 1.54.0000 this means you haven't got USPL or HSPL on your device, so you're fine.

thank you very much

Defective Usb-port

It appears that my HD2 is having some problems with its USB-Port since a connection will only be established if the USB-cable is held in a weird angle.
My Phone has been kept very carefully and is otherwise in great condition.
I think this may be a problem with the usb-port inside and it still has warranty here in germany.
The problem is that i used Magldr to install Android through clockwork mod, is there a way to get back to Windows Mobile without using a usb cable?
Since i hardly think i could send it in with Android installed.

Chances are it is the port on your phone....They seem pretty prone to this problem after a while.......Im assuming you've tried a different cable/usb port right??
Good news is that yes, you can get back to WM without USB pretty easily.
You need to download the correct stock rom for your device.
Hit up HTC.com and enter your serial number to be absolutely certain.
Download the ROM and extract the .nbh file.
Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and place it on the root of your SD card.
Power on the phone whilst holding the vol. down button.
It should boot to bootloader and take you through the flashing process...
Using a stock ROM will remove HSPL and whatever else... ta da.... factory perfect

Does that work even tho i have magldr?
EDIT: I have an O2 phone, not the normal firmware but one that was provider-specific, does that work, too?

Yeah, it should do.
MAGLDR runs in the chain after the "classic" 3 colour bootloader....
Try turning on the phone and holding vol down. You should get to the good old fashioned bootloader. If so, SD flash will work.
Hope that helps.

Hey that was helpfull man,thanks for that!!!

Out of curiosity, have you looked to see if the usb needs to be cleaned from dirt and lint?
A friends phone had the same problem, and would only work if held at a weird angle. I used a pin to carefully dig in the usb hole and a lot of lint and even dirt had crammed in there to stop the cable working.

just wanted to add something to this thread, correct me if i am wrong.
yes you can revert to a stock SPL+ROM+Radio using flash-via-sd-card method. so a functioning USB port is not necessary.
BUT! a fully functioning USB port IS necessary for flashing HSPL (which is the first step to unleashing yourself on all the wonderful fun possible on the HD2)
so if your USB port is faulty and you're thinking about claiming warranty, then be absolutely sure about the decision to "go stock" before you revert to stock using the flash-via-sd-card method. in case the USB repairs fail, you will be stuck with the stock SPL on there. in case you have to hold on to an HD2 which you reverted to stock but couldn't get the USB repaired, that could be a bummer if you've gotten used to HSPL and its benefits!
