Bootloader Corrupted. battery low. Help?

I was flashing my MS and the battery was pretty low. The phone went off and now. it goes to the bootloader screen and it says "corrupted Code" Battery Low. Cannot program.
Any help?
Regards.

I'm sorry to say that this is a simple case of reading provided trusted advice and being sensible. You should NEVER wiple/restore with low power...

I was in a hurry
is there anything i can do about this?

Easy... try to get a full battery...

Is there a way to reinstall or recover a verified signed bootloader maybe?

I think you've got a few options.
One is to find another charged battery.
Second is to find another Milestone to charge your battery in (in which case you'd probably have access to another battery anyway).
Third is to supply power to the phone directly bypassing the battery.
There was a thread about this when I got my first milestone (which was 'broken' with these same symptoms). Basically you can chop off the end of a USB cable and stick the red and black wires in with the battery to supply 5V directly (I soldered them directly to the battery to ensure they didn't cross, but I'm quite good at soldering/desoldering). Then the phone thinks the battery is full and allows programming. And after it's programmed charging of the battery through the phone will work again.

red goes on + black on - of the battery. easy.

oooh nice I did CPR on my old old HTC Wizard - it was shipped with empty battery and couldn't charge without the system running.
However - I've used an old PC PSU, because I was afraid to short circuit the USB port on my notebook
I would recommend buying second backup battery, even those chinese are doing pretty good for the price.

[Q] Am i missing anything?

Hi all i got this sensation xl cheap it had a crashed screen so i bought a replacement its shipping but as I looked around the phone i found this hole and am curious how it looks on somebody else's phone . i would appreciate if somebody took a picture and post it . thanks

Normally in that hole there is a little socket, I'm pretty sure it is for testing purpose and it is not used normally. So nothing to worries about

look in controlpanel -> find device manager and see what it calls the phone when it is connected.
is screen always totally black after you have cleaned it and it was not black before you cleaned it ? if you took phone apart, something is not sitting correctly for sure. that should not be able to brick phone that way

well i tried dismembering it again an reattaching everything again to no avail. BLACK SCREEN.. i took a photo of the phone before doing any soft updates to it and i noticed now it said it was s-on, now i am a hd2 user and at that moment didn't realize.. so is it possible that it is bricked because it got flashed with a rom on a s-on mode? cause any other thing is that testing point that i am missing that was strangely connected with a small wire in the middle but it worked with that so... any repairman around or something like that ...help..please

[Q] Headphones not working.

So, I got my HTC One 3 days ago now, and it's amazing. I'm in love!
I switched from an old HTC Desire Z which was just getting too slow to do anything, and I don't regret switching at all!
There's only one thing that really annoys me.
The HTC One came with in-ear headphones, whereas the ones from my old phone, are standard headphones, or whatever they're called.
So naturally, I figured I'd just use my old ones. However, they don't work. The plugs appear to be identical. (Despite the red rings on the ones from the One.)

You guys got any ideas as to why that's happening?
I should probably note that the in-ear headphones works fine, although they're uncomfortable.

Did your old ones are working at other devices? Because my HTC One accept all headphones.

They work with both my old phone, the HTC Desire Z, and my tablet, the ASUS Transformer Infinity.
It's really weird...

Do you have a case? Make sure its not in the way.

Clear the headphonejack. Sometimes there is dust in it.

Already tried that, nothing happens.

I have the same problem with my Klipsch s4i, they work fine with my PC, Laptop and iPod. Phone just does not detected a headset when they are plugged in. Stock headset works, so do my Razer Electra. Funny thing is my brothers Klipsch s4 even work yet my s4i don't.
I've given up at this point but will keep eye on this thread and hope you find a solution to the problem.

I'm super glad to know that I'm not the only one with that problem! However it still sucks that we don't have a solution.
I'll try to drop by the local phone store tomorrow to hear if they have any ideas.

sorry, i posted but then after going back to read OPs question, i think i should start my own thread....

Okay it seems as though my headphones are the culprit, bending the wire at the top of the jack makes the phone detect them so it's a loose wire, once detected they seem to work fine.

[Q] Software Version XE13?

I have a Google Glass unit, and it reports the software version XE13. This same Glass unit doesn't have a working USB port either (it's broken).
Is there anything of interest I could check out?
As for what I noticed:
- The shutdown screen sometimes (maybe always) shows an outline of red and blue
As for screenshot proof:

Indeed. I sent the kit back a while ago though so I can't get any more info from it.

I still have my kit

This is a Home Trial device. Google breaks the USB ports, so they can't be charged. The XE13 software is a slightly updated version of XE12.
Did you buy it from Google, or from someone on ebay or such?

TheManii said:
Not really related, but could you dump the rom if it first?
(im not sure how easy this part would be without a working usb port, you would normally simply "adb pull /system" if it worked)
I doubt that there is an ota for it to begin with, they likely never made a patch for it since it isnt public.
(unless the glass team's policy differs from the standard android one) they generally do not make otas for combinations that they would not expect in the wild
Normally if this were a nexus device, the course of action would be to just use the factory image, but like you mentioned the usb port isnt able to be detected by a pc.
If you can root it without using the usb port, it might be possible to manually get CWM loaded on it and update with a manually made update zip. But without a usb port, if anything goes wrong then it would be very difficult to recover from that.

When you say 'I got my kit from google." Do you mean the explorer's program, or did you buy it for the full price? You can't update/flash from XE13, since the USB port is broken. Neither can you set up ADB over TCPIP. OTA's are unavailable too, since XE13 is not allowed to receive OTA's.

I got in from google with the home try out kit.

In that case, you can't do anything with it. Without a working USB port, you can't do a lot with it.

Yeah well I have another unit I might open up and experiment with it

My Z is Randomly shutting down after lollipop

First of all, Am I the only one getting these problems I mentioned here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62087806
My phone was fine with kitkat. But after the lollipop update it's going crazy. It suddenly powers off during usage. The only time it doesn't is when it's connected to the charger.
Sometimes I am using the and my battery is about 60% then it shuts down and after I turn it the battery becomes about 27% but most of the times this doesn't happe
I confirm that my battery is good and it was working perfectly before the lollipop update. It seems problem with the system related to the battery
Anything I can do to solve this or stop it from shutting down? Like controlIing the system permissions to make the system lose its permission to shutdown itself.
I did the stupid pcc that doesn't fix any of the phone stupid updates from sony. Also Factory reseted phone.
Note: My phone is rooted. I am using super su
The problem appeared before rooting. I didn't do any critical mods until now. No costom roms, Karnel or recovery. Bootloader locked
The problem doesn't dissappear even with clean stock system after pcc and factory reset
Help pls

About 10 mins agoMy battery was 60% off charger and shutted down. I plugged the charger and turned it on. It became 17%. I just opened xda on taptalk and wrote this topic, then suddenly noticed it became 88% and charging very faster than usual. It's 88% and says 4 mins until full charge.
Now after writing this it stopped at 95% saying 2 mins until full charge

Did you try to flash a .ftf file with flashtool? I'd give it a try, backup your data first, and make sure to completely wipe it

OK I'll try that as soon as possible, But now I don't have enough time to do that. I will probably do it after two weaks because currently I am having some exams.
Is their another solution that doesn't take much time to test/try until then?
Thanks Jimmy for replying

None that I know, you already tried most of the things... Btw: Is there any app that is running when your phone shuts down?

There is nothing like something stopped working or app affecting the phone as I tried it with clean stock system.
OK luckily I didn't remove my first backup after I did the pcc, so no need to backup again. I will try with the flash tool when the ftf download complete.
