HTC Aria battery charge icon replaced by ClockworkMod - HTC Aria General

my battery charge icon was replaced by ClockworkMod and now i can't charge my phone when it is turned off. any solution for this problem? thanks.

I think what you mean is when you shut down it reboots into clockwork? Ive had that happen. If thats the case just select reboot and it turns back on / charges

you can't charge it when it's turned off

That is how clockwork works but it should not be a problem as your phone is still charging regardless if it's sitting in clockwork or on in Adroid.

it reboots in clockwork only when the usb cable is plugged in ac.
i turn off my phone at night and charge it. that's why it bothers me.
but it seems there's no solution for that. i'd would have to uninstall clockwork, then?

Why don't you just leave your phone on?

or just put it on silent.

ok. i was just wondering if that could be fixed. thanks.

Just unplug the cable before shutting it down, then plug it back in after it is fully shutdown.

phone died
ya my phone died completely in my pocket and didnt have enough power to boot,
but i had the same problem with my old htc 8125 and had a solution ready
some htc phones, (2 that i have) htc aria and htc 8125 cant run without battery because there isnt a direct connection from the usb port to the battery.
the phones OS charges the battery once its booted, so with a dead battery you cant do jack. this just happened to me with aria. before i would just plug it in and the battery icon would pop up. but now its clockworks recovery. left phone plugged in for hours and still nothing. i had a usb cable cut up from when my 8125 did this and it worked for the aria too. so if your aria dies, google how to fix 8125 dead battery problem. basicly you take a usb cable and cut it expose the + and - power cables and touch them direct to the battery + and - for about 5-10 mins to give it a boost of power then boot it up. once booted the issue is gone, till your battery dies again. Im assuming the aria fixed the old problem with the recovery where recovery can run with direct power cause i could get to clockwork all day long with dead battery, but could not get it to boot till i jump started the battery.

that means i won't be able to charge my phone if the battery dies?
(unless i "jump start" the battery?)

I'm pretty sure the wall-charge adapter will always charge the phone. It always has full juice to the USB pins whereas a USB host only supplies a minimal current to the device then the device must request more from the host once communications are established (part of the USB specifications).

Attn1 has a procedure of flashing ROMs without flashing CMmod, i did that. Now i have liberated aria rom with stock recovery. It works correct.

i think i'll just wait my battery die and see if i can charge it then.
i hope i won't lose my phone forever. hehe.

I think it should be considered as bug then?

No, because even before you flashed clockwork, the phone is never off during charge. If you shut down and plug in, it would boot that big green battery (which was part of the old recovery) and eventually sleep. But it was not off. No Clockwork bug - just a crappy HTC design.

Uninstalling clockwork or patching the phone?

Sorry, I didn´t see this thread before, and I asked about this issue in others.
Isn´t it possible to run an update using clockwork to change it to work in the normal way, at least just with a black screen, not starting the clockwork recovery... Its just to minimize the probability to make mistakes, the clockwork interface could be dangerous if you don´t know what you are doing...
I´ve seen a "patch" to run live wall papers on Aria: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6953168#post6953168
It would be possible to make a similar patch for this case? I´m just wondering...
What if I uninstall the clockwork recovery replacing it with the original?, is it possible?

Is there anyway to change it back to the battery, but leave clockwork on? My mom just got the aria, and I rooted it to flash the sense ROM here. Is there anyway to take off clockworks, or return the battery charge animation on the phone?

The battery charge screen is part of the original recovery and there is no way that I know of to have two recoveries on the same recovery partition, so I'd have to say "no".

This will bring back the battery charging animation instead of clockwork
Attn1 pointed me the way in irc.
Basically, you flash back the stock recovery using unrevoked. Then when you want to use clockwork, you flash it with unrevoked.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/awlgonzr74w711l/recovery.img
Remember, if its stuck at looking for root, press the power button, and let it continue. For me, it would get stuck there, and I didn't realize thats all that was needed for it to be successful.

Clockwork Recovery boots up when powered off and charging

Hey all I just rooted my phone last night and installed the 8/11 version of cyanogen mod 6. Needless to say I don't miss HTC Sense. I have one small quirky detail though that's driving me up a wall
When i power off my phone at night and plug it in to the wall charger, it boots into Clockwork Recovery instead of too a battery indicator. I prefer to turn my phone off at night but I can't let it sit in Clockwork Recovery everytime i turn it off to charge.
Is this a bug and something I just have to deal with or is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

yes it's a minor issue, and yes, we all have to deal with it. It doesn't even start clockwork reliably that way.
It seems the old battery icon was part of the original recovery, so there is no fix is on the horizon. Really, no functionality has been lost. The phone is never really off when charging anyway. Better to just leave the phone on and let the screen go off while charging.
For future reference, this is not really a development topic, and is more suited for general discussion.
Moved to General.
So, no functionality is lost?
Does that mean the phone is actually charging while in recovery? My LED shows orange like it is charging, but doesn't seem to turn green. I have fully charged the phone while on, used it a little (15 minutes or so), shut it down, then plug it in and it is still orange after a couple of hours.

No idea about that. I don't shut down to charge - so for me - no functionality is lost. I'll trade clockwork recovery for shutting down to charge any day.

security issue?
I understand if this is not a functionality issue, but what about security? I am running a tracking app on my phone in case of theft. Doesn't this make it extremely easy to wipe my phone and remove it?
What I'm wondering is if there is a recovery image that has a standard charging capability that I could use instead of Clockworkmod. I'm not planning on installing a new os any time soon even though I like clockworkmod.

no. if it bothers you that much, unroot your phone and reinstall the original recovery.
just flash the old recovery, you just wont be able to flash roms afterword without unrevoked.

Magldr quick question

i have an hd2 with a dead battery and when i go to power on the phone while connected to the wall charger it just vibates once. this is a sign of a dead battery and magldr 1.2 incapability to charge while off right?
yep, either borrow another battery to flash your phone back to winmo so it ch=an charge, , or, , charge in another winmo hd2, or, get an old usb cable, cut off the usb head, find the red and black wires, bare them, hold red to + and black to -, plug into wall charger for a m inute or two, battery should have enough charge to boot enough to start charging.
Use clk allows charging in off state plus in my opinion better touch screen response.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
another quick question. is it correct that the only way to power on the phone is by the power button or the reset + volume down combo with magldr 1.2. because my keypad broke and im waiting in the mail for another 1, and wanted to know alternate ways to power the device on besides the power button
If its latest magldr it detects the insertion of power and turns on. Charge your battery a little, and when you plug charger in it should fire up.

Wait, wait, wait!? Sam couldn't get cLK to run properly?
no what im asking is if my phone led dont light up while connected through the charger, and the phone only vibrates once and never powers on. does this mean the battery is dead. i read several places where magldr 1.2 doesnt charge while its off.
FYI-before i changed my keypad i sucessfully flashed an android rom and the correct radio and hard spl. so i know its not bricked.
none of the magldrs charge when off, but the latest one 1.13 (where you get 1.2 from? 1.12 perhaps?) detects when it should start charging when off, and turns on.
I had to do that usb lead thing i talked about last week, let the phone die, couldnt charge it. worked no problem.

as in my PM, not that i remember, BUT, the phone does give a little shake when it turns on normally, so i can imagine an almost flat battery might vibrate then go straight off a few times before the battery is truly flat, and you shouldnt keep trying, save teh dregs of power, and try top it up as noted with an old usb cable. doesnt have to be micro usb, any old normal usb cable will do, black and red wires to - and + for 30 seconds in the wall charger, thats what i did.

How do I charge my phone?(IS ANYONE FROM ORLANDO FL WILLING TO HELP?)

It's got the newest version of MAGLDR on it and CWM 150 MB, with a non-working android build loaded on.
0% battery. Left it plugged in on MAGLDR for hours on end and it still won't load.
How the hell do I do this?
EDIT
If someone from Orlando FL would let me use their battery for 10 minutes, or use their phone to charge mine for 20 or so, I'd be greatly appreciative. I could buy you a beer or something......
I appreciate the help guys. Thank you so much.
This is why XDA is so amazing, is because of the wonderful community that helps others that need it.
Is that sarcasm?
You have a few options.... load cLK or flash a working android or stock rom, just keep your phone plugged into computer while you're doing one of those.

I can't flash an android rom without loading into CWM, because most all ROM's are CWM or CLK only.
When I try to load into CWM it reboots the phone due to low battery.

When you buy a new battery, most of the time they come un-charged, correct?
So because I tried to flash a new ROM and it didn't work, I'm screwed and my phone is bricked unless I can find another charged battery?

it only requires 50% when winmo is running. When you enter bootloader manually, ruu doesnt give that warning.
The reason you cant charge in magldr is because magldr cant charge the phone, , a rom needs to be running to charge it.
If you have an old usb cable lying about (mini or micro, doesnt matter) cut the end off, find the red and black wires, take out your battery, connect red to + and black to - for a minute or two. With a little luck you will have enough power to flash.

An alternative w/o having to buy anything
this method is from WP7 0% battery problem!!
1. HOLD POWER till reach MAGLDR menu
2. Select USB Storage
3. Plug USB to power and charge.....
This works for WP7 with 0% battery left, they have to do this because WP7 won't boot with 0% battery (auto shut off) and MAGLDR don't charge with the device turned off

This will not work, as Samsamuel said befor you have to have a working ROM on the phone to charge with MAGLDR. This comes straight from the MAGLDR thread.

Still not enough juice to even boot into AD Recovery (CWM) for 2 seconds.

Try Samsamuels suggestion I promise you it does work and you only have to let the battery charge for 15 to 20 minutes and you will have enough charge to boot up and flash your ROM using CWM and then you can boot your ROM and charge the regular way. Also yoiu can buy a very cheap USB cable to do this too which is cheaper than buying another battery or a external charger.

I figured as much both after reading your previous post, and realizing that my phone wasn't charged. Thank you, though I'm still no closer to a solution.
I've sent out a message to an old classmate who used to have an HD2. I don't know if he still does. I sent a message to 5-6 craigslist classifieds ads asking them if before they sell their phone they'd let me use it really quickly to charge. I'm going to call T-Mobile store at 12:00 noon when they open (it's Sunday) and see if they'd help me.
Or I guess I could just wait a month or two and wait for my package from China to arrive.
Unless someone on here is from Orlando and is willing to help me.

[Q] Strange problem

As the title says I have a strange yet very annoying problem. I am running my HD2 with hyperdroid cm7 Nand build (from april 29th). The problem is that when my battery is deleted, as is the case now, and I put my hd2 in the charger it will automatically boot. I think this is due to a setting or something. However since booting drains energy faster than the hd2 charges, the phone will by turned of before it has completely booted. After a while it get's stuck in a pattern of starting to boot and turning of. I don't know why this is the case because I think my phone just used to boot fine before when connected to a charger.
So my questions are:
1. does anyone has a suggestion how to turn on the phone?
2. this automatic booting, can it be turned off?
3. Why is it actually happening?
Maybe it's a very stupid or obvious problem, but I hope someone can help me though.
Do you have installed MGLRD?, it's a Known fact, search in the forum for answer (I'm sorry, I'm with SD Builds and don't use MGLRD, so I can not help you anymore).
I had the same problem with some rom i used earlier. The only way i could solve the issue was to remove the battery and put it back, then I could insert the charger without the phone booting up. Charge it for a while and start it.
Hope this way works for u 2.

I guess this is what I used to do as well. However now, if I remove the battery and put it back in it keeps automatically booting. Also if I put the charger in the phone and then remove the battery same thing happens. But thanks for the help though.
I am currently using the same ROM via MGLRD. Because of MGLRD, it will always turn on the phone from off when you plug your phone in. This is a known feature of MGLRD to preserve the battery. Checking just now, I turned my phone off, plugged in my charger and the phone automatically booted itself then the lockscreen came on then turned itself off after one minute. This is the cycle I see every time I charge my phone if it is off. I do not see it going into any boot cycle. What I see is after it goes through this, the orange LED light is on letting me know it is charging and will change to green when it is fully charged. Did you make sure before loading the ROM to do a complete wipe before installing? Usually most of the problems are associated due to not doing a complete wipe prior to loading a new ROM.

Well, this cycle I think is caused by the fact that the charger is not strong enough. Normally if plugged in the phone would just boot. The reason that it fails to boot is that is doesn't have enough power to complete the boot cycle even though the phone is plugged in (don't know if booting consumes a lot of power?).
A month ago I bought a new usb cable. Maybe that's where the problem lies? Because I have been using the hyperdroid rom for a while now. Although I don't know if one cable can be stronger than the other.
I have found a solution btw: Though it is a bit hit and miss cause it didn't work a few hours ago. When booting I let it go into mgldr and let it charge there. After a while I'll let it boot when it has enough power to complete the boot.

Humm, now you making me think lol, the 1st time I installed Android on my HTC HD2 was the NexusHd2 rom one and he had the same problem, no battery but once I plug it to the wall charger it would do the full(normal)boot, I thought was the rom so I changed to Hyperdroid Cm7, but, still does the same..
The wipe you talking is the one, wipe data/cache right?
if it happens to you a lot, I think it's time to invest in a third-party battery charger. you can charge it out of the phone for a bit, and then you're safe to put it back in a continue charging using the phone
Tried some different roms and all them do the same.. so I reckon its normal.. Thank You.

charged battery at night used it at work all day came home around 10 and battery was on 1%..went upstairs to charge but phone but was dead. when plugged into wall phone boots for 2 sec then turns off and boots again for 2sec....constantly looping like this? im pretty sure i just need enough charge so that i can boot into android and ill be sweet. but doesn't even get half way there!?
need help. cant charge.
im leaving the battery out for the night and im gonna try again tomorrow but any suggestions would be great!
thanks
Not sure but you can try this: hold down power button till mgldr menu comes. Stay in mgldr menu for some time and get some charge,then reboot.

Phone will not charge on magldr screen. Android needs to be booted to charge.
Get old USB cable, mini or micro, cut end off, bare red and black, take battery, connect red to + and black to - ,plug into wall charger and hold wires on battery for a minute or so, reinsert battery, should be charged enough to get far enough into booting to start charging.
First.. i had the same problem.
it have to charge while off.
before you cut off things, check the batterypins. one of them was broken on my HD2 (i saw one of them below my battery).
if so, try to hold that broken pin back while insert the battery and try again.
you could also buy a dockingstation (something like that: http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon®-Premi...P2YS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1313518480&sr=8-4) to charge batterys.
I had the same problem once, I`m not 100% sure how i solved it but I think that I pluged it in that it started booting and removed then the battery. I think it doesnt start automatically if you reinsert the battery then... but I´m not sure about it...

thats correct, but relies on the bootloader being able to charge when off, so this method of fixing the discharged battery problem only works with winmo or cLK
Your right i had that Problem in the time i was running it with winmob andere haret

Charge while in bootloader or hard reset screen, it should charge from there.
However, the charging process using the aforementioned methods is kind of slow.
hey guys. thanks for your responses. i have left it overnight and it doesnt get to the 1234 bit. i have 3-4 cords so i cut one up however it has blue, red, white and green cords....whats positive and whats negative?
also my pins are fine.
this is killing me!
Thank you to samsamuel, i ended up cutting my old cable. connected the red cable to + and the white cable to - and left it for a hour. just booted my phone back up and got 1000 msgs and emails lol and im on 84% battery.
thanks again to everyone how posted!
much appreciated!
Good to hear,, for anyone else thinking of trying it, an hour is pushing it a bit, you are running the risk of damaging the battery since the charge control circuits aren't being used.
What Android build is this? I remember having a build once that required a special key combination to charge the phone up. I think it required you to hold the volume down and power while plugged in to the charger and it could charge from there. I don't remember exactly though.

Nothing to do with the build,,, if you have magldr installed the phone must be on and booted into android to charge.

EDIT: I realize now that it must have been something else, can't charge in HSPL or MAGLDR (duh). I have no recollection of what though (if anybody knows, let me know because it's driving me nuts now!)
OP, you do also realize that instead of cutting up wires you could get an external charger for your battery and just charge the battery alone, right? If you've wanted to buy one of those fancy desk docks you could get one that also charges a battery behind the phone
