FIXED IT!!!

FIGURED IT OUT!!!!

It was driving me CRAZY!!!

So is what causes this problems is the dock mode being stuck. When you dock your phone the dock connection completes a specific circuit in the phones USB port that will tell the phone it's in dock mode. This can get stuck when you accidentally push the wall charger into the phone UPSIDE DOWN (Which I did and then got the problem) bending that pin down completing the circuit permanently.

THE FIX:

Take something sharp and/or thin like a knife and push the pin up ever so slightly. DO NOT FORCE it as you will break the pin clean off. Once you disconnect the circuit, you'll see your phone turn it's screen on. That means you did it!

Good luck! And your welcome!

I've about had it with my EVO 4G. I can barely use the thing before the battery is down to 30% or lower. When I first unplug it in the morning, I'll browse reddit or XDA for all of 5-10 minutes and my battery will go down to 75% easily. I've tried tons of ROMs (running Energy w/Shooter Anthrax kernel as I heard it got amazing battery life) I've tried resetting the battery stats -- i've tried unplugging and replugging in the phone multiple times when the charge light is green, I've tried just about everything I can find on here dealing with battery issues and to no avail! Listed in my battery stats the only thing that's ever high is my Display usage but even factoring that in should I really only be getting an hour or two of mild internet usage before my battery is completely depleted? I can barely make it through a 6 hour work day (checking texts on breaks, light internet, maybe a 5 minute phone call) without having to recharge it in my car.

I'm open to ANY suggestions short of buying a new battery -- sadly it's not an option at the moment.

Do you keep 4G on? That drains a battery like nothing else if left on. Same with GPS, especially in Sense Roms for some reason.

i recommend using a aosp rom if battery life is a MUST. I would suggest you use Decks aosp rom with CoD tweaks Tiamat 3.7.7 and vipermod and underclock to 500 on smartass governor........all this is what you should do if you choose decks rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupremeRadicals:
Make sure your 4G is off, but Evo is known for its horrible battery but thats ridiculous. Try a new kernal to adjust to CPU settings. If that doesn't work, you might need a new battery. Evos are know for having their battery fried easily, mine fried and I had to get a new battery. :/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikr:
You should definitely make sure your 4g, Gps, Wifi, and blue tooth is off. If that does not work I would strongly suggest you downloading Cyanogenmod 7.1. When you aren't using the phone under clock it and do medium speed when you are using it. I last around 8-9 hours doing this. Hope it helps. :)

Also, it could just be that your battery is tired. Is it at all swollen, in the least bit or rock hard? It should feel firm, but give a little.

People tell me all the time, "my battery is not holding a charge", it's not designed to. But, how it releases the charhe, is another story. Obviously, it's also dependant on use. Remember, the phone is only rated at 5 hours talk time. I can't think of a time I've actually tried that, but when I have been caught on the phone for extended periods I've only gotten at most 2 hours of conversation out of a full battery.

[HTC Radar] hitman21888:
I got a radar for free from work, had it for a month or 2 and something funny started happening. Whenever it takes a little tap in the wrong place or i put it in my pocket it turns off. I opened the phone up and completely took it apart and put it back together again making sure that every clip and screw was in place, and the same thing still happen. I'm just curious as to why something like this would happen. And what i mean by a tap i mean a TAP ...like putting my phone down on my desk when i get home causes the phone to shut off. Any help appreciated thank you very much
[HTC Radar] MJCS:
Just exchange it
[HTC Radar] seattle_kid:
^^Agree^^

I agree with MJCS best course would be to get it replaced. My best guess as to the actual problem would be the sim cover malfunctioning. The soim cover has several contacts that when interrupted will shutdown the phone.
[HTC Radar] Janek387:
me too

Hi hitman21888,

I'm experiencing the same on my HTC Radar, bought about 3 months ago. It's in waves though. When I just got it, it switched off randomly for a week or so, sometimes even 5 times per day, after which the problem disappeared by itself. 3 months past, and last week it started again. Since yesterday the problem disappeared again, yesterday and today the phone kept on during the whole day, so I think it got better again.

When it has this sickness, a hard tap on the screen or putting it FIRMLY on the table makes it switch off, and it switches off by itself aswell. When it's healthy again, tapping or putting it on tables doesn't make it switch off.

I've called HTC on this and they basically didn't recognise the problem, just advise me to do a hard reset. Did it - didn't help.

Have you found out anything?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
So i just wanted to share this info as it has been very helpful to me in my development process. When making custom recoveries you often end up with a recovery.img and with Samsung devices there isn't really a good way to flash those. The best way to flash these is to run the following on a linux box:

$ tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar

$ md5sum -t recovery.tar >> recovery.tar

$ mv recovery.tar recovery.tar.md5

Now you can flash that recovery.tar.md5 through Odin in the PDA tab. Im guessing you can use the same process on any .img file (userdata.img, etc.) you create but i havent tested that. Ive only tested this on recovery.img and it works great.

Sorry if this is old information but i couldn't find any posts in the Skyrocket section and just wanted to share this.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Easiest way I've found to flash a recovery img on skyrocket is to rename recovery file to recovery.img and place it on internal SD. (This won't work if your soft bricked and a tar file will be necessary )

Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk022 in adb shell or terminal emulator.

That should work for any of our recovery images as long as you rename it to recovery.img and put it in your internal SD. I suppose you could replace /sdcard/ with /external_sd/ if you wanted to flash from external SD. Oh and don't be supprised if you catch a little heat for posting this in dev section.

Sk8er, I used your method today. Its flawless dude. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jtdc:
funny... nobody bothered to answer this.

The way to do this in Windows as I know:

1. Ensure the fastboot drivers for your device is installed.

2. Acquire the fastboot binary (this is fastboot.exe).

3. Test if fastboot can see your device. Open DOS Command prompt, go to the fastboot binary folder and run "fastboot devices" command.

Example: C:\FASTBOOT\fastboot devices ---> The output should be some sort of serial number.

4. Flash the img file you have via command "fastboot flash boot <image_filename>"

Example: C:\FASTBOOT\fastboot flash boot boot.img
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ebaul:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roqnla:
Thank you for the post. I used your method but to flash TWRP as follows:

1. Downloaded recovery file (openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-skyrocket.img) for Samsung Skyrocket from TWRP website on Linux.

2. Renamed file to recovery.img

3. Ran the following commands to covert IMG file to a TAR file:

tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-skyrocket.tar

md5sum -t openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-skyrocket.tar >> openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-skyrocket.tar

mv openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-skyrocket.tar openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-skyrocket.tar.md5

4. Flashed recovery using ODIN as customary.

It worked flawlessly with no issues. I highly recommend TWRP over CWM Touch Recovery. TWRP wipes things cleanly. You DO NOT have to wipe 3x which will reduce the wear and tear on your device.

use samsung tool kit v2.3. i had same issue as u and this page only sort of helped me and i guessed my way to tool kit. you only need to install it and place the recovery you need to transform in its input folder, where ever you installed it. then run it and just follow the instructions its pretty easy.

Hi! First of all, thx a lot really was trying to find this out for a long time. One Question i have tough. I Only used the first command and left it as a simple tar file, flashed it with odin and all was well. So what do you actally do by adding md5sum and then renaming it? Is it better to add the md5sum or does it make no difference?

again huge thanks! I always used mskip toolkit, but i like to not depend on additional software ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RK:
I believe ODIN will verify the md5 sum of the .img if the .md5 file is in the tar. Just in case your .img in the tar gets corrupted. If that happens ODIN will abort the flash and report something like md5 mismatch

That's strange but command from first post don't work for me. Tablet says about incorrect file (.img, not .img.md5). So I've modified commands to make them work with Galaxy Tab 8.9 and Odin 1.8.5:

cp recovery.img recovery.img.md5
md5sum -t recovery.img.md5 >> recovery.img.md5
tar -H ustar -c recovery.img.md5 > recovery.tar
md5sum -t recovery.tar >> recovery.tar
mv recovery.tar recovery.tar.md5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jpasher:
That's a seems a little weird to me. I wasn't aware that ODIN supported nested .md5 images within the archive itself.

For those desiring details on what the (original) commands are doing, it is simply generating the MD5 hash of the entire tarball and appending that to the end of the archive. When ODIN is passed an .md5 file, it will look in the file for this hash and verify it before flashing (a good way to make sure the file hasn't been corrupted). The original .img file is not modified. That's what makes your commands interesting, You're actually modifying the original .img file in the same way as the tar, but giving it an .md5 extension.

I would be curious to see what the raw dump of the recovery partition looks like after flashing that. If the partition doesn't include the MD5 hash towards the end, then maybe ODIN supports nested .md5 files. Then again, if the size of the .img file is exactly the same as the partition (most likely), the extra bytes would probably just get discarded. In either case, it seems odd that the original method didn't work (maybe the md5sum calculation actually corrupted the tarball).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DemonGloom:
If you get pit from galaxy tab 8.9 with heimdall, it will say "recovery.img.mg5", not just "recovery.img". It is not possible to flash recovery.img without md5 on that device.
