I've found that either when I remove my battery or I let it die, my phone doesn't turn back on. I have an external charger, and the spare battery I bought doesn't work.
Sometimes, even after charging my current battery to 100%, it won't start my phone. Nothing works, except if I plug it in to the computer VIA usb, but then it'll still stop half way through the ANDROID screen.
I think I read somewhere about how when the battery dies, or when the battery is removed, it can corrupt the NAND?
I've not been able to use my phone as a daily build, because sometimes the battery is off, and after 12% it turns off the phone. I cannot turn it back on. It can sometimes take me a day of fooling with it pressing the buttons and then it decides to turn on.
IS there work being done to modify MAGLDR to charge? Or to prevent errors from occurring when the battery dies/is removed?
I love this device, but when I can only use it 3 days a week because of battery issues, it makes me really consider switching to a Galaxy S2.
Can anyone here confirm?
this is not like my phone at all

Have you took a good look at you battery pins? You may have one bent out of alignment.
If your pins are good then try this. If you have Clockwork Mod Recovery imstalled boot into CWM and go to Wipe partitions. When that is done go back to the main menu of CWM and go to install zip from sdcard. Then find the zip file for your ROM (assuming you still hav it on your SD card) and flash your ROM again. If you don't want to have to set everythinv back up you can make a Nandroid backup first usinv the backup and restore option of CWM. After you flash your ROM again go back to backup and restore and select advanced restore and only restore the data and the cache.
If you do not have CWM bit installed your ROM via option #5 USB Flasher and DAF file then rum a Task 29 and then reflash MAGLDR and then your ROM
If none of thos works you probably have harware issues.

Well, not really didn't test with real bullets, but I yet to brick it to a degree it makes it hard to restore, i.e. resort to using windows to run ODIN to re-flash stock firmware.
Got really close to bricking it to that point today with the lag fix that uses EXT4.
The phone started FC while copying the data to a new ext4 formated partition, and it looked like it reloaded but the uptime never showed the full powerdown. So, on it came back up I was back to TW with a bunch of apps missing including the ROM Manager, and market
As suggested by a member here I manually boot it into clockworkrecovery (moved recovery-update.zip into /sdcard as update.zip and adb reboot recovery), once in CWMR I restored from the latest nandroid backup and volia! I am back.
Well, it goes back under the warranty replacement anyway because of the bad 3.5 mm jack
I hopethe replacement does not disappoint.
Odin froze up on me during a flash last night and I couldn't get the phone to power on at all. No recovery mode, no download mode...I couldn't even get the charging indicator to come on when I plugged in the USB. It was TOTALLY DEAD...no signs of life at all whatsoever.
After about an hour and a half of fiddling, I found that if I
removed the battery
removed SD card and SIM card
plugged into USB on the PC
held down vol-up and vol-down
popped the battery back in while holding vol buttons
unplugged from USB
I could get it to start in download mode. What a huge relief. After a few more tries I was able to get Odin to finish flashing the stock firmware. I was sweating for a while there.
Hear you man. I weary of odin I hope there will be a way to flash from linux in the future

Everything's normal when I try to charge with the system on.. But when I plug in the usb cable from the electricity slot, it shows up the battery which shows the percentage and a non-spinning refreshing circle in it. It doesn't spin at all. Waited 5+ minutes for the percentage to arrive. After I hard powerdown the device (holding down the power button for 6-7 seconds) I can still open it and use it without any problems. Recent error, restoring from my CWM backup right now.
Anyone had this before?
I still have it after the perfect restore. Really weird.
Edit: Wiped to factory. Still no luck.
Restoring back to my original settings now. Gonna try after then gonna go to sleep. Tomorrow going to try with the modaco rom.
For further use;
I installed my ROM from scratch with odin. Original recovery was installed, no cwm. The green battery showed with the original recovery. Rooted phone, installed a few apps and the green battery was still there. Installed CWM with eurotab bootstrapper. Green battery isnt there anymore.
Cost of CWM.
Okay, so I figured I botched my install of my NAND ROM, and had low battery, and that was the only problem, yet I charged my battery externally, and then put it back in and it doesn't work.
I plug the phone in via USB and it boots into MAGLDR perfectly fine. When I try to boot out of MAGLDR into a ROM or into CWR then the screen goes blank half way through like the battery is dead.
Is it possible that I have damaged some component in the phone itself that transfers battery power to the phone? Or maybe I"m not actually charging the battery? Or I've nuked the battery somehow? I bought a replacement battery online but from China it takes a while to arrive....
You probably don't have a ROM flashed. Try flashing either a ROM or CWM using option #5 USB Flasher in MAGLDR and then either boot the ROM or CWM.
I know it sounds improbable......but my wifes phone was at 3% battery the other night.
She says "whoa I better get this thing on a charger"
Then a phone call came in....after about 1/2 a minute the phone shut down. She plugged it into a charger and waited a few minutes.
The phone would not turn on until the orange charge LED stopped blinking.
Once she did get the phone to turn back on - it had done a full factory reset....sort of.....all apps were gone from ALL the home screens....wallpaper was gone.
Phone is rooted.
We have both Titanium and ROM manager on the phone.
It's been a long time since I've had to do a restore.
What's the procedure to get the phone back to the way it was prior to the reset ?
Is it through Titanium ? or in Recovery mode ?
Thanks for the help.

Well if you have a backup made, just go to recovery wipe everything in the mounts and storage menu exvept emmc and sdcard, and then restore your backup. If cwm recovery got wipedout you will need to flash it first, thru hboot if your s-off or thru fastboot if your unlocked.
If you have no backup or you dont feel the need to start fresh, you can just use titanium to just restore your apps and data. If you go this way though you might as well wipe everything and start with a fresh rom install, and then restore your apps with titanium.
Hello, I have the HTC tmobile mytouch 4g and it is acting up. Stock phone, no roms or rooted.
Three days ago, at night, doing some browsing and then everything froze, would not respond. I removed battery, and then it did a boot loop so i kept trying for a while, taking out battery, and turning on but still boot loop, so then left it alone.
The next morning i held the power and home button and it turned on and it worked normally for the whole day! until about the same time two days ago. Doing a little reading and browsing before bed (same website too, but i didn't download anything and the site works fine on a computer) and it froze. Did the same routine except it didnt work in the morning again. I removed sd and sim card too, left everything out for a long time, but whatever i tried it wouldn't work.
Yesterday i tried all day and then I read online I should do a wipe cache partition from the recovery menu. So i did that, but it was still a boot loop. After a few tries, it stopped turning on. Now the screen doesn't even turn on, but the phone vibrates 7 times when power is pressed, then will not respond at all unless i take battery out, then it will do the 7 vibrations and etc.
All htc said is to try a factory reset, but it wont even go to that menu. I can send it to them, but will probably lose everything on my phone ( like messages, contacts, and app data?) BUT I'm convinced there is another way, since it fixed itself the first time.
Just recently, now it has started blinking the charging light when charging (i charged it about 10 hours ago and it didn't blink)
I don't really know much about how these things work, but I have been reading some stuff about pd15??.jzip and putting it on the sd card (i have access to a micro sdcard reader) Also about a stock image or something. I don't know much so please give a simple-ish answer.
IF THE SOLUTION YOU WILL PROPOSE HAS A LOW SUCCESS RATE OR HAS A POSSIBILITY OF FURTHER DAMAGING THE PHONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW... If it is too difficult/ too much work/ or dangerous, then I don't mind losing whatever i have on the phone
The PD15IMG.zip is the "stock image." It has to be installed in the bootloader, and you WILL lose all of your data. Usually you can get to the bootloader by holding volume down while booting. It will scan for the file there. Can you get into your bootloader?
sigh
cannot turn on no matter what i hold.
I think the blinking last night meant that it isn't charging the battery anymore. wont even vibrate now unless it is plugged in. its not an issue with the battery is it??
if this stock image is going to delete everything anyway, i might as well send it to htc. i just hoped i might be able to save my messages because i have some really hilarious ones, but oh well.
Can you please tell me exactly what ill lose? so,
bookmarks on the browsers
contacts and messages
all apps (they're on my phone) and app data? (like will i lose my progress in temple run 2, lol)

I don't have this phone with me ATM.but I seem to remember when you press volume UP: and POWER it if i remember correctly would do the blinking light and vibrating a few times .Anyways to get in recovery You Press Volume DOWN and press POWER at same time should bring you to recovery and if running a custom recovery such as CWM or 4EXT you can try the wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache to see if fix issue or try if using a custom ROM you can try installing the ROM again without wiping data and system first.I Read your post and the replies and correct me if I am wrong it sounds like this might work and sounds like you are able to get to recovery from reading your post I think.I would try and confirm that you are or are not able to try these suggestions before you try the boot-loader suggestion with the PD15IMG.zip or whatever it is called ,these are assuming your rooted with a custom recovery such 4EXT if not and I read wrong again I apologize. Good Luck!
alternatively you could use adb if u installed it
1. connect ur phone via usb cable.
2. run cmd from ur android-sdk folder (or whatever you named it). by running in folder I mean, ur path in cmd should be C:/whatever-is-your-sdk-folder path
3. type this in cmd window "adb reboot bootloader" (without ")
it should load your phone in bootloader from where u can get more options like factory reset or install new rom (u can mount ur sd card in recovery & put new rom to flash on sd card)
