whenever my has battery died, i plugged it into the charger and every time i plugged it in recovery has opened up. However, today i plugged it in and it wouldnt charge at all and so i tried to reinstall my rom and now it wont even start up. The battery is completely dead and every time i plug it in to charge, the orange light comes on, goes away and the recovery screen shows for a second then the phone restarts and keeps on doing that. I've tried everything . Please help me out.
Thanks.
visit a local phone shop, ask them if you can borrow one of their batteries for a few minutes to fix your phone, or ask them if you can charge your own battery in their display phone, if they are not assholes they should help you out
i dont think its a battery issue though, recovery doesnt even boot up all the way it quickly flashes 2 lines then it restarts. Ill try the battery option though.
have you flashed the newest recovery?
i hadn't gotten to it yet, i was planning on doing it really soon though. The problem is that it wont even boot into anything. it will go into cwm for half a second and then turn off and then keeps on cycling.

you cant boot into fastboot?
nope, it boots straight into cwm. its really weird. I tried looking it up first but had no luck finding anything similar to my situation.
iff the battery is charged, you may possibly just have a hardware fault, I have a similar fault on my HTC HD2 where similar things happen with CWM and booting in cycles, I stick it in the freezer for 5 minutes and then pull it out and boot it, and it works then... maybe try that?
i let it stay on the charger overnight and when i woke up this morning it fixed itself. I have no idea what happened. needless to say, im going to reset everything and reinstall everything.

This is why I don't recommend anyone use the old recoveries that some ROM devs are suggesting.
Please, general public: don't install any recoveries that don't support charge mode!
If certain conditions are met, it's possible to be stuck without a way to charge the battery if you use a recovery that doesn't support battery charging (since recovery handles offmode charging on this device).
If you haven't done so already, please update to the new CWM I posted a few weeks ago that does support charge mode.
hey guys im stuck now and would like you see the community imput on this, thank you!
3 Days ago my phone froze (custom rom and kernel), i removed the battery and started the phone up again.... i was **** faced at a concert and was impatient as it was on the htc screen, i went into recover and re installed my rom (i have no idea why i didnt install my nand back up.)
The rom installed fine, than it was loading at the htc screen and after 3 min, i took out the battery (mistake on my part)
and at this point is where i really screwed my self, i did a factory reset from fastboot...
now my battery is dead and i cant access recovery, i can push it there through fastboot but when the phone reboots into recovery it dosnt have enoufe battery...
and i cant install my back up or my rom because of this!
when i plug my phone into charge, it charges for about 2 minutes than turns on... but it gets stuck at the htc logo because i didnt a fastboot reset
To get into fastboot, i plug my phone in and wait till it automatically turns on and than hold the volume button down once it vibrates. this dosnt always work and is quite a skill actually!
When i load fastboot/bootloader and the phone checks for update zip's it says battery voltage is too low!
please change a battery...
I had a similar experience only with a Rom that allowed the battery to drain completely dead before shutting down. Then when I plugged it into the charger it would charge for about 3 seconds and go off. Too dead to charge! The fix?
to buy a seperate battery charger off E-Bay that allowed me to charge the battery externally.
I got one for $8.00 and received it within a couple of days. No way arround it, you need to charge that battery!!! Gary

Thanks man i was getting worried ! im going to try going to my carrier to see if they will swap it ! lol
Hello, I've been using my htc vivid since about march last year, and I recently rooted it, flashed Kanbang and added wajee's desensed rom. Things have been going smoothly until recently, I attempted to change roms to xperiense (Also by wajee) and I'm now stuck booting up at the splash screen, I can access my boot loader, but I can NOT preform a factory reset, Please, if anyone here can help me I would seriously appreciate it.
If the recovery program is not showing then you need to clear the catch if the recovery still don't work try to reflash the recovery or even a different recovery . If that don't work relock the bl and run the stock ruu and start over , the hansoon tool kit makes this a breeze and you will be back where you where in a few minutes.
I can access the bootloader, and I forgot to mention that If I plug it in to my comp it does not seem to want to charge, it shows the light for about 5 seconds, then the capacitive buttons will vibrate if pressed, but nothing displays, I have to boot into the bootloader without it plugged in then plug it in.
Yea pull the batt and boot into hboot , then select fastboot plug the phone then it should say fastboot USB , running the ruu will fix any errors you have so you can start fresh ....just remember never pull the plug while the ruu is running .
Well, Thanks for trying to help, but the batter will NOT charge and is dead, I'm ordering another OEM battery soon, Thanks for the help but I've read and this actually appears to be the problem, again thanks you for trying to help.
No problem , if ya need anything don't hesitate to ask here someone can always help out .
Are you sure the battery is kaput? Have you tried charging it with a wall charger? HBOOT doesn't support charging BTW, and USB won't charge unless the phone is ON and in the OS (or in TWRP recovery which DOES support charging).
Pull the battery and leave it turned off, then plug in the wall charger. You should get an orange LED and presto, it's charging. See if you can power up after an hour or two. If it spends two hours on the wall charger and still isn't charging, then it's either A) your battery, or B) Your charge port. I had the charge port die on my blackberry torch. Thought it was the battery too until I borrowed one from a mate and swapped things around.

Thanks for the offer but I have a bro with the same phone who lives nearby so I'm going to see if I can borrow it tomorrow for a few minutes, if it works, my new batter is in the mail, if not, I'm going to talk to at&t and see if I can get the phone replaced.
It keeps claiming I have the wrong version (The Ruu) any chance of a link to the most up to date one?
If I let my HTC one run completely out of battery so it turns off and plug it back in it will reboot but once it reboots It won't charge and displays 0%. If I remove the charger the phone turns off because the battery is not charging . The way I get round the problem is booting into twrp recovery and letting the phone charge there for a few minutes then rebooting the phone without the the charger connected. Then once the phone turns on I reconnect the charger and the phone charges fine.
I have change from cyanogenmod to viper and calibrated the battery but the problem still occurs. I have also tryed a diffrent charger.

Try the Stock recovery, if it still won't charge it's probably either your cable or the USB port on the phone.

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
