Alert and FYI! - Touch CDMA Android Development

My phone (which is currently running Incubus26Jc's Android 2.2 FroYo RLS10 NAND) rebooted at around 12:30 AM. I noticed that it reboots, randomly, about twice a day. Not sure of the cause, haven't looked in to it, but normally it comes back to the desktop, like a fresh boot of the phone. So I thought nothing of it.
Last night, however, during the reboot, SOMETHING happened, and it seemed to have gotten stuck in an infinite loop. It would show the boot animation for a while, then lose power... then it would notice the power cable was plugged in, and try to automatically boot up.
If you notice, plugging the power cable in forces the phone to boot all the way into the Android OS. There seems to be no "charge while off" feature, at least for me.
Anyway, this endless loop caused the phone to reboot over and over and over, until the point where the battery was so far drained, that this "hand off" between the boot screen and the actual OS (somewhere during the boot animation) where the phone had to run on battery for a split second, was long enough to cause the phone to power off completely.
I couldn't flash back to Windows (I thought) because the phone didn't have enough of a charge to stay in bootloader mode while flashing the phone. Which was mostly true.
FYI (how I fixed my problem): should something similar happen to you, put the phone in true BOOTLOADER mode (hold the camera button when you press the power button, see the colored bars across the screen), even though the indicator doesn't light up, the phone DOES charge when in this mode and plugged in to a wall charger (and probably while plugged in to USB).
As far as I know, you are required to maintain a certain level of charge to run the RUU because the USB cable cannot charge the phone WHILE FLASHING, but while waiting in bootloader mode, the battery will charge. I was able to let the phone sit at the bootloader for about an hour then started up my phone and had over 70% charge according to Android. Working again!

thank for the 411. i had a similar issue with rls10. went to 10.5 and rls11 and flashed a new kernel, no further issue since

Ruhroh, battery reading bad - bad flash. Can't charge now?

So I went to flash my MDA today, did the usuals, checked the battery indicator (was showing 100%, which I thought was odd). Sure enough, it was odd, as the battery must have been low, since it powered off mid flash.
Now unfortunately it's stuck in the bootloader, and I can't charge the damn thing. Problem is, even if I pop the battery to power it off and kill the bootloader, as soon as I put the battery back in and connect the power cable, it automatically fires the bootloader up, even if I don't touch the power.
Anyone know a workaround for this?
Try to hold the power button in bootloader, sometimes it can be powered off, then charging is possible.
After fully charged, flash it again.
Unfortunately that was no go, I could get it to turn off, but it would immediately fire the bootloader back up.
I was able to rig an external power supply as well as test the battery -- both of which proved to me that it's not really a power problem, though it looks like one. I'm not really sure what's going on.
Basically what happens is during a flash, the unit will randomly power off, looking like a power failure -- but then boot back up into the Bootloader. The problem is that the Bootloader, when connected to USB, also constantly reboots itself, making it impossible to do an RUU. Not really sure what to do with it at this point. Only thing I can think is the bootloader somehow got corrupted?

I would flash the official ROM first. Make sure the batt is charged. Flash your carriers official ROM, then go from there.
That's the problem, the battery is fully charged (and even when I do a probe based 3.7v dc power source), but the bootloader goes into a reboot loop. It reboots before the ROM can actually load.

Update bricked is there adb access with out booting?

The newest update bricked the device and i'm looking to get some files off the phone before using the sbf to restore. Is there a way to have ADB access if you are not able to successfully boot into the OS?
Hey, as an avid flasher (gosh i believe i did it over 15 times just this month =O), I noticed that even if you reflash everything on your phone, only your apps are erased as well as some data. If you're looking to back up stuff in the internal SD card, you should be fine as flashing won't touch that. As for if you're looking to grab some user data, I don't believe there's a way to do that, but I could totally be wrong. Sorry if that didn't help =\
if you reboot holding arrow down, it seems like I saw a USB enumeration option if you keep pressing down volume through the option. That may be a way to get the stuff off, depends what you want to do though.
I can also confirm SBF'n back to factory will retain SD info. I did it this morning to update to latest OTA.
Accidentally rooted and bricked ... but now the battery won't charge ... so RDS says battery is too low to flash ... any suggestions?
My only thought is to go to the ATT store and ask if they can swap batteries, but I don't see why they would.
If you plug it into the wall it should charge with the phone turned off. If the battery is completely dead- it will appear nothing is happening. Just leave it plugged in for a while, drink a beer, do something around the house, then come back. It should show a charging light at this point or have tried to turn itself on.
I will also 2nd that SBF flash will keep the files on /sdcard/ level intact.
Thanks for the quick reply...I feel silly asking, but how do you turn it off? As soon as I plug it in it turns on and gives the message "Failed to boot 2 / Starting RSD mode / Battery too low to flash." I press power, nothing happens. I hold down power, nothing happens. I hold Vol Down and press power, nothing happens. I charge overnight 12+ hours with the screen on, it gets warm, but otherwise nothing happens. I charge with the USB to the computer, the screen stays off, and it seems to get a little bit of charge (enough so that it doesn't shut off as soon as it's unplugged), but hours of trying to charge this way nets the same error message. She's bricked. I guess you can't flash without a battery in place?
Edit: Or just buy this spare battery desktop charger
My next best suggestion for you is to find a way to get 3.7 volts of power to those battery pins. Either with a regulated power supply or another lithium cell battery. I'm not sure whether or not the detection circuit will allow the phone to boot or not or if that is charge-related only, but it would be an alternative to keeping a bricked phone. If you choose to try to run this without a battery keep in mind wall wart type power is unstable (read: voltage changes) at different current draws.
Went to the store near closing time (10 min) and they gave me a fresh battery instead of going through warranty, said that could take days with no phone. Fortunately he didn't test the battery and, upon putting a new one in, he only looked at it long enough to see the dual core logo and not the Failed to Boot message.
Flashing worked perfectly after I had a fresh battery, thankfully. No longer bricked, no longer using 6-yo crackberry!

[HELP] Strange Soft Brick issue

Hello all,
I searched around, but didn't find anything quite like my issue so figured I'd create a new thread.
I work for a company that uses Galaxy Tabs for various purposes. One of our men brought back their VZW Galaxy Tab (SCH-i800) and it was in an infinite boot loop.
I went to recovery and attempted to do a full wipe. This did not work (partitions were all jacked up) so I couldn't get it fixed. I'm not sure if the guy tried to root the thing and broke it or what.
Anyway, I was attempting to root then fix the partitions (then was going to flash a stock unrooted rom) and ended up soft bricking it (Phone Icon -- /!\ -- Computer Icon). The issue I'm having is the only time that screen comes up is when the device is plugged into the wall. It turns on, then off, then on, then off. If I unplug the device, it shuts down with no way of bringing it back up. I've tried holding power for 5 minutes, the same amount of time with power + vol up and power + vol down. Plugging it into the computer's USB ports does not help either.
It's like the battery is drained but it won't charge when it's on the soft brick screen. I've had it plugged in to the wall for almost 6 hours now with no hope in sight. When it's plugged in, I feel heat on the back of the device like it would normally be charging. The AC adapter is also the standard warmth after a lengthy charge.
I was wondering if anybody has had similar issues with this device and if there is any way to correct it.
--- EDIT 8/10/2012 ---
Another thing of note is when the device is charging, I can power it down by holding power for a few seconds, but the Soft Brick screen pops back up almost immediately upon release of the button.
I cannot boot into recovery or the standard download mode even when it's plugged in.
As long as you can get the Phone ! PC screen, your'e good, because this screen IS as a download screen. Go to this screen and flash a known good ROM.

You must not have read the whole thing. Not a problem.
The only time I get the Phone ! PC screen is when it's plugged in to the wall. As soon as I unplug it, it goes away and the device won't start up no matter what I try.
When you connect the tab to the pc, is it recognized by Odin.

No... When the device is unplugged from the wall it is shut down and won't boot back to the download screen, recovery, nothing. It doesn't turn on. There are occasions where the download screen stays up but it appears to just be frozen. The computer doesn't recognize it and neither does Odin.
I left it plugged in when I left work on Friday... Going to see if charging for the weekend does anything.

No dice.. still jacked.
I determined the following scenarios may have happened:
1) The battery died (bad battery) during a software update and messed up the partitions
2) The battery died (bad battery) while he attempted to (unauthorized) root or flash the device, messing up the partitions.
The only thing I'm sure of is the battery is fried so any kind of hacking I can do to the device are for naught. I was able to get it to connect to Odin this morning for about 3 minutes (after having it plugged in to the wall all weekend). During the flash it shut down again bricking it even worse. Now the device won't turn on when plugged in to the wall.
Thanks for the suggestions and help. I'm calling this a lost cause at this point. We're just swapping out the device for a new one. Once that's complete, I may tear the device down and try to do a reset on the main board to see if that does anything, though I doubt that's the case.
Right I had exactly the same problem as you (exactly the same symptoms) but I have now fixed my tablet.
Like you I got to the point where the Tablet had enough charge to actually unplug it and connect it to my PC where I then tried to flash a stock ROM using Odin. About three quarters of the way through flashing the stock ROM the tablet died, disconnected from Odin and I got a message in the task list in Odin advising me that the process had failed. Even weirder my PC did an emergency shut down and restarted in safe mode.
Anyway I tried it again but when I started my machine, once I'd logged onto my desktop I started up Odin as quickly as possibly, selected the .tar file and pressed start as quickly as possible....it worked and my tablet was flashed with a stock ROM. However my battery was still pretty much dead and the first time of charging once it had been flashed with the ROM took about 24hrs plugged in at a mains charger for the battery to reach 100%.
My point is persevere with it and you will fix it. I was at the point where I was about to send it off to be un-bricked but obviously I'm glad I didn't now.
It is a ***** of a brick though, this 'coma brick'.
I've been having these same issue with my friends i800 galaxy tab. Can you chime in and offer some advice?

same problem-solved
I was having the exact same issue. the device screen was completely black when plugged into the computer. I was just about to give up when, all of a sudden the device went to the boot error screen while plugged into my computer. Apparently, it must remain plugged into the computer for about 20-30 minutes. Once this screen appeared, I ran the Heimdall one-click unbrick utility, and like magic, my galaxy tab was working again. Give it a try, and good luck.

Endless boot cycle, don't know if it's power or OS issue

I looked in the previous threads about non-booting but no one I could find had my issue. Bought the Nook HD+ about 4 months ago and rooted it and installed Android (not sure which version but cm11). Out of the blue, last week I pulled it out of my bag and the battery % was flipping between 1% and 31%, so I put some stuff on it via USB and then shut it down to charge. I plugged it in overnight and tried turning it on in the morning. All I was getting was the low battery picture, so I kept trying to charge it, but it wasn't charging, the power light would go to orange when I plugged it in, thena fter 3-5 seconds it would flip green and then turn off and retry. My assumption is the battery is dead, but it could be a corrupted OS now as I got it to charge long enough to get to the CM11 boot menu. But I even went out and bought a new charger and converter to rule that out and it still is stuck in the same boot sequence. I obviously can NOT charge this thing while it is off because of it's reboot loop, it can't charge. I'm not quite sure what is going on or whether it is a battery or boot issue but after I leave it for a big it freezes on the cyan picture (which is frozen on some scrambled version of it) until I turn it off.
I can't power it on enough to charge it to rule out the battery, I tried holding the power and n button for 3 seconds, letting go of the power, and then pressing it again to get into the recovery menu, but that isn't working either. And I prepared another SD card for a second flash for a corrupted OS and that didn't seem to work either.
I'm stuck here and I'm not sure what to do now to get it running again. I don't care about the data on my tablet at the moment.
Try plugging it into a PC USB port over night.

That's what I did that got it charged enough to get to try to boot, where it now shuts down. But now as it tries to boot it reboots, maybe from too much power consumption? I only had it plugged in for half hour or hour before that got it charged to the point where it boots to the logo screen. I have a feeling it is not charging because every reboot the light turns off (orange light stays on for like 5 seconds)
I will plug it in to my PC and charge it overnight and let you know what happens. It's interesting, I plug it in now and the orange charge light comes on, shows the Nook screen, then shows the low battery screen and shuts off, then the orange light turns off, but it remains plugged in... not sure if it is still charging but as I said, I will leave it overnight and see what that gets me.
No success. I can turn it on and the charging lights turns on for 5 seconds and shows the nook screen, then goes black and shows the low battery screen, then immediately shuts off and the charging light turns off and it no longer charges.
Any other suggestions? I can't seem to do anything with the Nook now.

Seriously need help with P8 Lite

I suppose my phone is soft bricked. It doesn't get past the Huawei boot screen. I am still sort of able to enter bootloader and recovery, but I have a problem charging the phone also (which happened after I left in in fastboot mode connected to my PC for a little too long), which means no power to keep it on long for enough to flash rom via fastboot, and trying to do it via 3 key combo with UPDATE.APP on the memory card just says the image is incompatible. The thing with the battery is, when I plug it in it shows that red circle with lightning bolt in the middle like when it's charging, but it immediately changed to green (as if it's fully charged I assume) and the red led flickers. As I understand it, the red light flicking means a battery fault. I know when the red light stays on continuously it means the phone is charging, but that doesn't happen. It just blinks. I can disconnect the battery and retry and it always just keeps blinking, and turning it on means it'll die within 30 seconds. So I can't unbrick my phone if the battery won't charge and furthermore Best of ll is this is I installed a new battery 2 weeks ago and had no problem new battery. I even replaces it AGAIN when I thought the battery was faulty. So perhaps you guys know of some software, hardware, or unconventional trick to get it to charge. I'm very desperate for help! Thanks all for reading!
Just keep it plugged in overnight.

Your battery is drained.. That's the thing.. Charge it, the LED will blink red few times amd as you mentioned, red circle will turn green.. it doesn't mean that the battery is full charged, but instead, it means that the battery is charging... Let the battery charge for few minutes (possibly an hour or so). Do note whether the phone reboots or not.. if not.. its ok..
After charging your device, switch it off (if your device is turned on). Connect it to your PC and just press & hold the vol- key... It should go into fastboot mode... If it goes, then just flash the boot image of your current build..
I too faced similar problem few days back amd resolved it by doing this.. (I was on b596 when I faced this problem, I flashed b596 boot.img)

I thought the green circle and red flashing led meant doomsday for my device. I left it overnight at some point and it even got really hot. Strangest thing is, the screen doesn't turn off when it shows the red circle and blinking red led. And having left it overnight like that connected to the charger made the phone very hot and it didn't charge at all.

I did in fact flash some things, but even after that charging worked just fine! (that was before this charging problem) Just now it doesn't boot. (but I was certain flashboot would rescue me. I know I flashed something I shouldn't have, which is why I'm eager to get back into fastboot, but can't without any power and the PC USB to phone connection doesn't provide enough power for it to stay on.
This oddness started randomly while my phone was connected to my PC in fastboot mode (thankfully before trying to flash anything or running any commands)
I very sincerely hope someone has answers for me. I'm desperate as this was a gift and I just had to tinker. to try a better rom :crying:
But luckily I know this forum has the best experts around!
Is the problem the same as the people in this thread
Open the cell phone and disconnect the battery and reconnect it.
I had the same problem and solved it this way.

Either you open your back case and remove your battery..
Or connect your device to the PC but just by holding your vol- key, that will boot you in fastboot mode.. no matter how little charge you have, it should work

Hey there, thanks for your reply. I have in fact disconnected and reconnected the battery countless times without any effect. I also connected it to PC, disconnected battery, reconnected battery while holding VOL- and it didn't boot into fastboot, just the green circle. Just switching it off with the power button makes it switch on again immediately and holding VOL-still doesn't boot into fastboot mode. I actually once got it to boot into fastboot mode, I can't remember how, but it lasted about a minute then it died from low power even while connected to a US 3.0 port with extra power. y the way, one oddity is that when holding VOL+ is actually goes into recovery mode, but I reflashed stock recovery to try and to flash the UPDATE.APP automatic upgrade, but it didn't work and so it's pretty useless.
Thanks for all the suggestions, you guys are awesome! Really hoping you guys can help me out in the end though!

Has it charged since then? When you plug in your cable, does it charge, or does it turn on?
I tried charging with powerbank (at that time, I was out on a bus), it got superhot (the only hot thing I got in my life) and it was turning on automatically... I let it charge for 30 minutes, and then I hold the Power button to shut it down (but it didn't work, I guess).. then I connected it to my laptop just holding the volume- button, it did boot to fastboot..
I am out of suggestions, will post you again if anything else comes to my mind...
Hang in there buddy..

Nope, it's not charging. I've used multiple chargers and even different PC's USB connections, but all that comes up onscreen is the round green logo with the battery, and sometimes a red one instead of green.
And of course the constant blinking led, it never goes away. and also the screen doesn't go off like it does when it's charging. I swear the moment it turns solid red, if that ever happens, I shall rejoice.
Nevertheless, I have utmost respect for this site and faith in its member! :good::laugh: I just KNOW someone will help me resolve this. I can enter recovery (stock) but it doesn't charge there not does the silly stock recovery have a option to turn off. And even sometimes when it seems completely drained, it seems like it starts charging after about 2 minutes after I plugged it but it turns on the screen, shows the green circle, and red blinking led. I'm at my wit's end. :crying: It was a gift and I messed it up.
I didn't read everything in this thread, sorry, but just asking, did you try to charge it overnight? My brother had an old, really small Vodafone Huawei Phone and sometimes it just turned off and needed at least 12 hours charging time to turn on again. Maybe just try to let it plugged in for a day. It may help.

Yep, I did. Annoying thing is the screen stays on when it's plugged in, unlike charging. I kept it plugged in to a wall charger overnight, and the next morning the phone was hot (supposedly because the screen stayed on) and the led was blinking still. When I unplugged it it lost power. This is so strange because just a week ago there was nothing wrong with the battery even.
Had the same problem couple of times
Try this...
1. unplug battery
2. plug-in charger (without battery!)
3. when charger is plugged to the phone then plug battery connector
Enjoy

I've tried that, multiple times. I don't know what to do anymore, I'm desperate.
