So, here's the whole story. My phone's display cracked after it fell. But everything was working normally and the touch response was as good as ever. Being the grade A procrastinator that i am, i used the phone for a few weeks delaying taking it to service. One day the phone charged out. I charged it fully but it wouldn't turn on(but it used to vibrate on pressing the power button like it usually does when switching on). I took out the battery and switched it on again...i did this for about 10 times when it powered on. I continued using it when again one fateful day it charged out overnight (i forgot to charge it when battery was less than 10%). It wouldn't turn on again even after taking out the battery and switching on... for like a 50 times. Then i booted into recovery by pressing vol down and power and then after 10 seconds again pressing vol down then enter(since recovery is the second option in hboot). So, now i'm perplexed..was it the display that's not working?..and then it booted into recovery and the display was perfect. I performed a clean wipe and re-installed the rom that i had been using(Vivokat). The problem persisted. Why is the display working only when the phone is booted into recovery?? Then i decided to unroot the phone and then installed the stock ruu..now as you know the recovery is stock HTC's..i can't boot even into recovery. any suggestions?

I am having a problem with my phone and I'm sure there is a solution for it but I must not be using proper keywords to pull up posts. So I went through the first time flasher's guide and followed it all perfectly, got hardSPL flashed, resynced my phone then flashed the new ROM and it booted fine the first time and I was making a call then my phone turned off, rebooted once and claimed my battery was low which I know it isn't because it was a fully charged battery when I began all this, then it died again and hasn't booted since. I tried plugging it in to my computer's USB port and the charge light does not turn on. If I hold the softkeys and press the reset button or the power button (regardless of it being unplugged and running on battery) it comes up with the screen asking if I wish to restore factory defaults. When I do this it makes no difference in the device booting. When I press the power button the green light will remain solid for a short amount of time then turn off. I don't want to think this is a bad flash because it did work for a bit of time and I was going around and messing with settings and such, is there another possible reason for this and is there a way I can restore my phone to either stock FW or a different CFW?
The CFW I flashed can be found here
Thanks in Advance!
Just sounds like you have a faulty battery to me. Has it got wet somehow lately or leaked slightly?
It was a faulty battery, it had dents in it and I didn't happen to think that the cell inside the battery got damaged, got a new battery in there and its working great now.
Hi all, I just got CM9 alpha 2 on this thing yesterday and have been really liking it so far. So it installed no problem, ran it fine no problem (battery drain was a bit heavier than the alpha 0 I had on prior to this but no biggie). So I turned it off last night before going to bed at around 7% charge, and just plugged it in to charge this morning through the OEM cable/charger.
Now here's the problem, the moboot screen would come up, I can choose whatever i like. And of course I go into boot cyanogen and the boot animation starts, lasts for maybe about 5-10 seconds. After that, the screen just blacks out, it turns off and I can't get it back on no matter what I do. I pressed all the physical buttons and swiped the screen, no dice. The only thing I can do is hold the power and home button for 10 seconds and restart it back to the moboot. I had it on charge for a good hour so the battery should have enough juice. Also I tried this both on charge and without charge. I wiped cache, dalvik and re-flashed alpha 2 and still nothing. Any help? TIA
Update: So I flashed over CM9 alpha 1 and same thing happens. I managed to boot into webOS (first time in weeks) and that works just fine. I'd really hate to do a complete wipe over something that may be trivial, thanks for any responses.
Final update: I fixed it guys, it was something trivial which I had to fix with a wipe. I left rootdim's brightness setting on at 1 which the touchpad booted up with, usually the brightness is so low the backlight turns off.
Hello, I'll start with writing all the things i did:
I flashed JenaMIUI v1.29 succesfully then i waited about 30 minutes at the boot image, then I got the battery out, tried again another 10 minutes stuck at the boot image. After that I reflashed JenaMIUI v1.29 wiped data etc...same thing, stuck at boot image, I got the battery out and back in, one time just after turning on the phone ( before the boot image appear). Then I could'nt start the phone in recovery or normal or download mode. After some tries and leaving the phone for a few minutes i managed to start it normally( but still stuck at boot image) , so I wasn't able to get to recovery, one time I managed to power it up with the charger on, it showed a circle 1/4 full and then went to boot image. Now I'm not able to power up the phone at all, I tried getting the battery out and back in several times. When I connect the charger to the phone with no battery in it, it shows a black screen for a second then nothing. I am not able to start it in recovery or any other way. Is this a battery problem or sth like the mother board ? The bin counter is set to 0 (using triange away), can I take it to service ?
One more thing, when i managed to start it normally and was stuck at boot image i pressed all keys(vol up,down,home,power) and went into a black screen saying something with ARM ..idk.
Is this a battery problem or a brick ? What can I do ?
EDIT: I think the problem was caused by pulling out the battery right after powering on the phone, solution...disconnect battery from phone leave it for 10 minutes, hold power button for 30seconds then turn on the phone in download mode and flash stock...that worked for me
Are you stuck on Miui bootanimation?
Now i can't get it to turn on...i tried replacing the battery , but when i press power nothing happens
Edit: I'm pretty sure is battery problems because I pulled out and put in the battery very fast ...
no, never pull out battery while the device is on splash screen. Wait till boot animation at least. In that moment the kernel is being loaded. This is also causing the recovery bug. People get boot-loop and reset their phone by pulling out the battery. It's actually true, it's the same as if you turn off your PC by unplugging it from power cord.
So if the kernel has some problems because i pulled the battery out while it was loading...can I take it to service ? Can they see what ROM I have installed regardless of my 0 bin counter ? Will they give me a new phone or sth ? Will a lie like...I tried to change the grey case with the orange case and the battery fell out while I reseted the phone work ?
EDIT: I managed to "repair" my phone ! I used a method I found on the internet. I hold the power button for 30 seconds ( while the battery was disconnected) and then put the battery in and I managed to get it in download mode and flash stock rom, now everything works great)
Sorry for the inconvenience, i wrongly packed the rom

No problem...i knew the risks I was taking...and as long as everything turned out fine, It's all good.
hello my friend, recently i got my phone out of my pocket. i realized it was off. i tried to turn it on but nothing, then i pressed the off button on the back and it went on. stayed on for a couple of minutes, then the it frozen, the screen faded and it went off again. i left it the whole following morning charging, when i came back it turned on, stayed on for a couple of minutes (a little bit more of the previous time) then again same thing. if i charges it has a red light (sign that it is charging) if i disconnect the charger and try to switch it on it flashes 3 red light then it stops, and then again three red lights. i tried to charge it via computer but it wont be recognized, i also tried volume up and power button, volume down and power button, and the off button on the back. at the service center they say it cannot be fixed because it is out of warranty since the screen as been replaced by unofficial service. after a bit of charging it turned on today, but soon went off. i need help, i would at least want to know what the issue is. thanks a lot. ps. i can manage to let it work
Maybe try using flashtool to flash software. Don't wipe anything except maybe cache or so. See if that works

i flashed an old backup a few days ago, this backup used to work really well but i have been having this issue since more than a week and it gave me the same problem also with this backup. now i have wiped the chache via cmw. i will wait untill the phone gets to 50 percent of battery, then try to use it without the charger. i'll keep in touch
reply2
i wiped the chache . it worked for a couple of hours, then it went off. now when i try to charge it it shows no signs of life at all. does someone know if this could be a hardware issue? like the battery or something
Hello!
I have a XT1097 (that has some battery issues - shutting down at 15%). When I started it while charging it would sometimes enter in bootloop.
Recently I was using it (the battery was low, almost 15%) when it shut down. It entered in bootloop and I couldn't access recovery mode. After the TWRP logo screen it restarts.
After some attempts and after full charges and discharges, I was able to access the TWRP menu. Everything works fine from there.
Yesterday this happened again. I tried a full charge and discharge but nothing happens: still bootloop and I couldn't acccess the TWRP menu.
Have you ever seen anything like that? I wonder if there's any other form of accessing the TWRP menu (via PC or something).
I'm using Lineage OS rom and I didn't notice anything different or strange before this happened.
I've had this happen for over a year now. It's not every time my phone dies, maybe 1 in 100. I've learned how to extract my texts messages then factory reset and start over.
Are you saying if you get to twrp, and click restart from there it'll start properly?!?
You can get out of the bootloop and into bootloader by pressing vol down and power for 20 seconds ish. Sometimes you need to do it multiple times.
