Hi everyone, I am new here. I tried to root a HTC Desire 500 dual SIM that belongs to a friend. I followed the guide posted on XDA on this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46430699&postcount=5
Did everything as stated. Phone was working fine even after that though it was not rooted and I could not find the SuperSU app. One time, I switched off the phone and then it would not turn on again. When I put it to charge, I see a blinking orange LED. No display. According to a post on this site, I manually tried to charge the battery using an external charger. Battery has enough voltage to power up the phone now. But it is not powering on. Will not enter into fastboot mode also.
What I have observed:
1. If I put the phone to charge without the battery, it behaves in exactly the same way.
2. I put it to charge with an already charged battery overnight. In the morning I removed the charger and took out the battery. The battery was completely drained.
Any help would be appreciated.
same problem here...just happened.
did you solve the issue?

Hi,
I have a HTC wizard and recently when i was using it the screen went blank. (i lost my original charger and had to get a replacement Moto Razr Mini USB charger since my town dosnt even have a proper store!!!)
I ended up charging the phone for a while and then when i disconnected the charger to use the phone it just went blank and will not turn on anymore. Even the Battery Charging (orange) LED will not turn on. What do i do? should i get a new battery? or should i try getting another charger?
thanks

assuming it was working properly before it crashed, you will probably have to either find someone else with a wizard and have them charge your battery for you, buy a new battery put it in the phone, boot up and leave it connected to the USB for a full day to charge it up completely. Search the forums for the 9V battery revival trick, it may help you get booted up and be able to save the cost of a second battery.
dont get a battery a waste of time
the problem is the charger I have confimed this. In my environment we have about 10 Razors and 20 MDA's. This is a common complaint amougst our users. The motorola charger don't work on the MDA'S. I promise you if you get another charger it will work. Also if you plug your sync cable in to a pc it will charge this should prove my point.
Edit: thanks to this post, my problem has been solved. Thanks!
So last night I went from stock motorola 2.2 to this wonderful-seeming version of CyanogenMod on my UK milestone - the install went flawlessly, but now I have a problem - my battery is not charging at ALL.
While the phone was on last night after I charged it, it was plugged in, first to my PC and then to the wall socket. In both cases, the battery indicator had a ? (question mark) on it.
I thought it might have been some weirdness with battery calibration so I left it and plugged the phone in from the wall to charge overnight. This morning, my phone was telling me to connect my charger (despite it being plugged in) and on removing the power cable, it died due to no battery power left within 10 minutes.
While plugged in from the wall, the battery indicator comes up but again just contains a ? on it. The little white light next to the power socket never lights up.
If I plug the phone in to my PC via USB then if the handset is OFF, the white light comes on and around 10 mins later it gets enough juice to boot up. The problem is that when the CM7 software starts, the little white light disappears, the phone stops charging despite the cable being present, and it then dies 2 minutes later.
I know the battery is fine because it was perfectly fine before I installed CM7.
Anyone else experienced this problem and/or know how to fix it?
One thing I did manage to do before it died was install a battery calibration app that I found on xda-developers - this told me that the battery was running at 3267 mV - any idea if that's good or bad?
(and yes, I'm using precisely the same cable/charger I was using before I put this version of CM7 on, so I know they are fine - they charge a friend's SGS with no problems)

Try plugging the phone into the wall charger, without the battery. Try and boot it up and let it boot. Once it's booted up, give it a bit and try and put the battery in and leave it to charge.
What happens if you turn off you phone and plug it in a wall charger? If the problem isn't in your battery it will charge fully.
When you phone comes up, try to disable the 1% battery steps in settings. I got a problem with it, and after disabled/enabled it worked fine for me.
Hope this helps.
On plugging it into a wall charger, the phone comes up with its special battery charging screen (i.e. a fullscreen battery level indicator) - no amount of pressing the power button seems to get it to boot properly (with or without the battery).
I'll see if I can get in and get rid of the 1% steps thing later, thanks for the suggestion

Dude, that was PERFECT.
Managed to get enough juice into the thing to get into the menu for a moment and was able to disable the 1% battery steps option - soon as I touch that tickbox, the battery indicator switches from a ? to the charging symbol and the phone starts charging. Thanks a million!
Nop dude, you are welcome
I have a 100% stock HD7 from Tmobile Im not sure how, but it just stopped booting. On battery it will not turn on at all, but if I plug it in with the volume down I was able to get into the tri color screen and so I was going to flash a stock firmware, but before I could it powered off and just started flickering the htc logo and then vibrating then shutting down then doing this in a loop.... Any ideas could it be that the battery is just dead, but if so why wont it just run while plugged in? Also while plugged it is says it is a pd29110 as well as a touch s1.
Thanks!
If from what you have said I would try another battery and see what happens from that point then on.

I read somewhere to pull the sd card so I did that and it didnt work so I put it on a cheapo wall charger and it didnt light up but I left it and now it has charged and turns on! But now my sd cards says its only 12 mb... Anyone else ever had this problem?
This is typical (imo). This happened when i first plugged the phone in from the shop. Happened again with a completely drained battery. Just plug it in and it cycles... So i pull the plug and plug it back in and it usually catches itself.
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?
Ever since Lollipop, my HTC One M8 has been a battery hog! I'm running Venom 4.x.x and my battery only lasts less than 7 hrs. Yesterday my battery completely died, I went home to charge and it won't turn on at all. The red charge light kind of flickers when plugged in and nothing when unplugged. It's been charging for 19 hours and still nothing. What could possibly be wrong? Is there any way to recover from this?
**bump**
Did you find a solution ? I had a problem yesterday withy phone I was flashing a mod and didn't put attention about battery levels , during flashing my phone went off and the battery charging light started flashing and displaying a battery on my screen . Since then I haven't been able to turn it on anymore, I keep it plug in the charger all night and nothing
