8125 Dead

I have a 8125 and I was able to unlock it fine. After unlocking it I upgraded to the underground crossbow edition rom - which the 8125 rebooted and was running. I tried out a couple things and everything seemed to be running/working fine. It was getting late so I put it down and went to bed. This morning when I got up the phone was off so I went to turn it on and nothing happened. I figured it just ran out of battery power plugged in the charger and guess what no red light on. I have tried everything under the sun but I cant get it to charge or startup. Anyone have any ideas? It was working fine.

i know u said u've tried everything and i don't mean to sound like i'm takin the buscuit, but leave it on charge for n hour, then try bootloader. taking the battery out completely for a while could work.
i had so many problems with crossbow! think this was one of them.

Unplugged
Well so far I left the charger plugged into the phone with the battery in it for over an hour now - with no luck. The red charging light doesn't even come on. Did you have that problem? I also left the battery out and plugged in - still nothing. Tried taking the battery out and then putting it back in while plugged in - no go.
I have not tried the "bootloader" - but the phone will not turn on at all or respond in anyway. Its in a powered down state (or so it seems) - I dont think bootloader will work?? But I dont know anything about bootloader - is it on the ftp site and how do I use it?

Any chance the battery could have been completely discharged?..just a thought. I think i read that completely flat batteries wont charge up via usb. Disregard if thats a silly suggestion, just thought id offer my two cents.

try getting a new battery and see if it boots up...it can be your battery.and you are trying to charge with an AC adapter right?

Wall Charger
I am charing it via the wall charger (not usb) and I am going to try to get another battery. Just weird that I never had a battery problem until I install the wm6??!! Unless the damn thing drained my battery dry and somehow damaged the battery. I called Cingular and they are sending me another unit as its still in warranty. So we'll see when I get it - I will try the new battery. Strange. Very Strange - because everything was working last night.

Strange
Well after leaving the battery out all afternoon I took a go at the phone again, put in the battery then turned it on. It actually started booting up - showing the WM6 bootscreen. After about a minute it shut down like it was out of power. Strange. I know the phone is not bricked because if it was it wouldn't have just done what it did. Anyone have any suggestions how to fix it?

Could be a bad battery. You need to test out with some one else battery

u shud have plugged it in while it was booting...did u?

New Battery
Well I finally got the new battery I ordered today. When I put it into my phone it will boot into wm6 fine but will not sync with activesync 4.0 or charge via USB or plugged into the wall. I uninstalled activesync, rebooted my computer and installed Activesync 4.5 - but still no luck with the phone via usb syncing with my pc. Also when the phone in plugged into the wall via the wall charger it does not charge. I am beginning to think the port on the bottom somehow was disabled from the rom update, although I dont see any posts with people having that problem. I guess my next option is trying to reflash it to stock rom via a sd card since it wont connect via USB - however I can not find the information step by step how to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Try going to the bootloader screen: Turn off your phone and then hold the camera button while you turn it on. When you are at the Rainbow screen (thats the bootloader) plug in your USB cord. You should see in the bottom left (above the left soft key) where it says USB. If it doesn't then I'd say your USB port is broken (I'm not aware of any ROM being able to disable that).
As for flashing from the SD card, I believe thats documented in the Wiki...

HTC Aria battery charge icon replaced by ClockworkMod

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.

[Q] Charging Problem

Hi
Recently i've bought this Htc Hd mini.It wasn't new.
Now, my problem is that the phone is charging only when the phone is off.
Could someone help me?

Welcome to HTC HD MINI Forum!

-I was using the original wm, but now i've flashed android with sense 3.5.
-No
-No, i used the usb cable and nokia charging kit.
-Not so much it can't take a day.
Also i can hear a strange noise coming from the charging kit. when it's plugged in. Could be an hardware error or software?

Better not do hard reset on the Android, can not help but bring you trouble ... to the charge I had the same case on CM 7.2, after a few reboot is to be changed do not know what the problem was, the developers are working on it, read forum you will find lots of information about
"i can hear a strange noise coming from the charging kit"
I would not use it, it is safer to be charged via USB cable.

Thx for reply. I don't think it's an android ROM problem. I had the same problem when i still used the wm 6.5

here's a solution
Flash Back to Wi-Mo and Check Setings\System\Power\Battery -Do not charge the battery if the phone is switched on and connected to a PC.

How do you know, that the phone is not charging?
The state of the LED (red/green/off) is changed by software (WM/Android), if the device is turned on, while the charging itself is controlled by hardware only.
You should check, if the phone is really not charging, while its turned on. Just ignore the charging LED and monitor the charging state of the battery after an hour, after you started with an almost empty one.
Best regards

@stahlnase, you're right when it comes to Android, but (windows phones) have software to control the charging. Something else;although we have through the nand installation erased entire phone, there are still some Wi-Mo "things" in this case battery setting or GPS was also associated with a Win-Mo settings. Regards!

I'm still not convinced, that the battery doesn't get recharged, just because the LED is not on
But you made an important point about enabling charging, while being connected to PC. Since demian12 is not using the HTC USB power supply, the device might "think" it is connected to a PC instead on a pure USB recharger. I believe, there are differences in the wiring of USB connectors to determine, if its a power and data plug or power supply only.
Regards.

Ok, i've flashed the original wm 6.5 greek rom.
After that, my phone won't charge at all.It shows a solid orange light for 3 seconds then it starts blinking.
I can start my phone but it closed soon, after wm boot.

Because your battery is completely empty ... it is necessary to leave some time (5-10 min) to charge, ignore charging indicator, the battery is charging! After ten minutes put the battery out / in and start a Phone.
Go to: Setings \ System \ Power \ Battery.
And Unselect option: -Do not charge the battery if the phone is switched on and connected to a PC.
Done

hello
Still me, new info
I tried with another battery.Surprize my phone shows that, that one is empty too.
Strange isn't it?
Any ideea?

If you have a good HTC charger and battery doesn't charge after you reseted windows to factory default, then your problem is hardware related.

Of course I have some ideas, but do not have time until Monday to deal with anything. Sorry. I have a suspicion that Nokia charger burned your phone. Of course, should be checked, maybe is a bug in the Android battery driver, and with the help of a trick to make the jump and put everything into place. either way, do not give up, try again and again to turn on your phone.

[Q] evo charge issue

my evo will not stop charging when disconnected from charger and wont connect to comp pleas help need to fix asap

What Rom are you running ? What Recovery are you using ? What Kernel are you using ? You said it will not connect to the computer. Have you Updated HTC Sync ?

Not charging while phone is on..
Hi guys,
I am facing a very unique issue(basically i didnt find any thread which had the same problem as mine). My Evo does not charge while the phone is switched on nor can i connect it to my comp from the recovery after i mount it in usb mode. It charges properly while it is powered off. I have tried installing jellybread & mokeeos roms with tiamat kernel but they go into boot loop.
It is really inconvenient since i have to switch off the phone for it to charge. Please help.
The details of the system are below:
RoM: rooted stock rom from xda thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Evo/ROMs)
the kernel is also stock
I am using Amon Ra recovery 3.11
Please do help me out with this.
I figure its a software problem since it is charging properly when switched off.

Are you Full Root "S-off" ? Have you tried using a different charger / cable combo ?
TEAM MiK
MikROMs Since 3/13/11

evo charge issues
Yes, My phone is fully rooted and s-off.
also i have tried using several charger, cable combos.
When it is in fastboot, i can flash files, threre is not problem there, but when I turn on USB mode in the recovery, it does not detect on the computer.
Also It charges when off, but does not when fully switched on. 1 thing that i now noticed was that sometimes, it starts charging when switched on, and then stops after 1 minute or so.
Also the battery drains extremely quickly now. This was not the case before this happened.
It would be great if you could help me out here,

Sounds like a bad battery or bad charging port... cheapest way to test is to buy a battery from ebay or something. See what happens. If the same problem persists its a hardware issue with the port itself (which I think it is from the sounds of it). Or you can unroot it, load a stock Sense rom and go to a Sprint store to have them look at it.

You can also try cleaning the Charger port itself out. I've issues in the past with charger ports getting dirty, which causes a bad connection. But I would still defiantly try a different Battery.

thanks guys, will clean the port and also try a new battery...
will get back once i have done these...

Restarting on charging

my razr m restarting when i plugged charger after 4 5 mints restart.i tried safemode tried another charger other wise phone is working fine just rebooting on charging after 5 mints

Mine frequently restarts too, several times a day, whether on the charger or off. I've tried taking logcats but there doesn't seem to be any consistent trigger. I'm on the last version of JB.

any solution bro?
can custom roms solve this issue?

If you connect phone when turned off to 500mA charger (or computer), the phone will power on.
Or it restarts also in other situations?

Mine restarts on its own at random with no prompting, several times per day, while already powered on. This happens whether or not it's connected to a charger. I haven't been able to figure out what's causing it. I haven't tried any custom roms, just the stock JB ROM.

So you are on JB? There are problems with random reboots on KK on GSM network, but I don't know about it on JB. You can try custom ROM or kitkat flash 163.46.10, NOT .15 if you don't have your bootloader unlocked.

I'm still on JB. My bootloader is locked. I've done the GSM edit and I'm on T-Mobile. Could just be a GSM problem? I remember my old Droid 3 would get occasional freezes and reboots, and it was on T-Mobile also.

On KitKat, there is problem with GSM causing random reboots and freezing. It can be solved by freezing FastDormancyMonitor app. But I'm not sure about JB. I'm on GSM too and I haven't noticed any reboots when I was on JB. You can try updating to kitkat (and rooting and disabling fastdormancymonitor). Not sure if this will help

I've read about the FastDormancy issue and I have it disabled on my JB phone, along with the build.prop edits that are supposed to turn it off too. I was hoping to avoid having to move to KK to fix the issue, especially as it sounds like some people on GSM are having the issue on KK too.

It's a feature. It's so done by Motorola, that when connected to PC (or 500mA charger), it powers up.

What problem? If you mean power on after plugging phone to PC or less than 1A charger, you can do nothing. It is so, it is so on all DROID RAZR M's and it can't be changed.

This is also a safety feature. If you were to try this with phone on and plugged into PC with battery protection interlocks defeated, what will happen? Obviously you will damage the battery. Not to mention the Lithium polymer batteries are pretty touchy (they can blow up if you as much as stroke them the wrong way).

Mine restarts randomly 3 or 5 times per day.. Its exhausting
