I'm helping a buddy. Any suggestions to stockish or stock kernal to use? And it has root already then correct?

PS I'm fine with Odin and flashing just the rooting directions from the wiki are not that specific for Android version / bb method specifics .

Thanks

No I'm meaning you need a stock modded for cwm to stick other wise it won't and once you odined the kernel you'll need to odin the cwm and you be fine look for the "epic gb kernel source with keyfix" by mkasick and scroll down to find the GB 3 a.tar which is the kernel and if you go to android development for the epic and go to the stickies or the "top" post find the [CWM] ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 officially supported. Find the .tar to download and just follow the instructions. If you need a video search qbking77 on youtube he's very reliable ;)

Has not worked on anything since early Froyo builds. Its time is done.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garbagecanman:
I don't care about cwm and all though. There isn't a one click root. Bat for 2.3.6 EL30?

What does recovery have to do with root. I'm my experience root comes b4 recovery.

Edit. For it nvm. Thanks guys will let u know how it goes tomorrow

[HTC Desire S] viadora13:
Hello to all members of xda forum, my problem is that my HTC DESIRE S is that I installed a ROM which may be unsuitable for my mobile, Because when I restarts, the screen remains blank with logo green "HTC". I reboot to fastboot mode it works:), but when I chose the "recovery", I do not lead a recovery clockmodwork and access to uninstall the "ROM" in question, but in vain the screen turns white again!:(.

you dear members has to tell me what could I do, I really don't know what to do?
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
You need to give more details on your phone and what all you did.

So you can't access clockworkmod? If you can did you make a nanDroid backup? Can you flash different ROM?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
When you installed a ROM not suitable for your device, you should do full wipe and flash new ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Gaby98:
Hope this is the right place to post this thread, and my first thread on XDA also.

I just bought the 2*1900mah Anker batteries and a charger combo these days. Every thing satisfies me, what toubles me is the charger.

Do you guys know how to use the charger, a manaul for this would be perfect!

Thanks!

Really helpful video! another question here， What is the USB port on the side for? for charging your mobile device or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] xmsnx:
Yes I believe it is
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mitchsurp:
Glad my video is helping people, as was its intent!

Yeah, the extra USB port is for additional charging. Charge your one battery in the charger and charge the other in your phone. :)
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
You should set up a poll and change the thread title to indicate that.

I am on Ineffabilis GB and accidentally let the battery die yesterday and it charged no problem. I was ready for a problem, thankfully it went straight to charging. I had also let it die once before unlocking and no problem then either.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
Good idea. Done!
[HTC Rezound] UgXvibe:
My phone shut off last night due to battery death, when I woke up I plugged it in and the charge indicator came on after about 10 minutes of charging.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
I have been running different ROMs and had it die a few times...

When I plug it in the LED comes on and starts blinking, after a few minutes of the blinking, I unplug then re-plug in the phone to the charger and the light comes on and stays on. I never let it sit there long enough to stop blinking on its own. I get impatient LOL.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
I take it you're running stock still? or a custom rom? It seems odd that the charge indicator would take that long to start. I left mine on the charger for about 30 minutes when it was unlocked without any progress.
[HTC Rezound] psilocybenine:
This happened to me, I took my phone to verizon and they just gave me a new battery... it took a little while, them trying different batteries, looking for a 'test' rezound battery before pulling a packaged battery to try and finally they were satisfied then swapped it out... all my boot logos and screens were stock but my launcher was not... they never went as far as checking phone specs or asking about root/unlock... they did check the phone settings to check on charge at one point... I was just thankful it wasn't a bad micro connector because I didn't want to have to wait for a new phone
[HTC Rezound] drinkhere:
I'm having the same problem once my phone dies i can't get it to charge. it starts charging for two sec and it stop charging and i does that with both of my batteries i have a 3.8v that came with the phone and a 3.7v that verizon sent me because my phone was over heating. I'm unlock and running CleanROM GBE 1.6.5 *SP1*
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
Before I knew about this issue I actually had my phone die when I had my 3.8v battery, I had no issues what-so-ever plugging it in to charge. I've been afraid ever since, I also have the 3.7v battery now.

I bought my phone from a trade of my GNEX, so I do not have the 1 year manufacturer warranty, so no refurbs for me, and I had to buy the 3.7v battery :(

I'm getting rare blue screen flickers like the ones from ICS ROMS on GB ROMS too. no fun!
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
What's interesting is that I keep reading about issues with the 3.8v battery but nobody talking about the 3.7v's. I'm on a 3.7v and this issue is occuring, but i'm beginning to think it has something to do with either an unlocked bootloader or ROM issue.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
I would highly suggest you relock and go back to stock. It seems to have made the issue subside. Since you have 2 batteries if you wanna do further testing with other roms and configs that would help out a lot. No pressure though i understand if you dont want to do it.
[HTC Rezound] joel4832:
I've also had the problem with it not charging after it's died and thus had Verizon send me a new 3.7v battery. And now Ive had the same problem with the 3.7v.

This is how i've fix both the 3.7v and 3.8v when they wont charge.

Battery pull and replace. Then plug in. Dont hit power or touch the phone. Just leave alone. Orange light will come on for a few seconds then off. Still leave it alone. I swear it took an hour but it finally booted on it's own. Weirdly it had 40% battery when it was finally on.

I'm on stock OTA rooted and running chad's beta 4 but i've had the problem with beta 3-1 as well. I did have Force fast charge enabled in incrediControl. Most of the reason the phone died was because it bootlooped for hours(?) while i was sleeping and it wasnt plugged in.

I did have a similar problem when i first got my incredible... dunno what i was running at the time could have been stock.

What i'm guessing happens is that you drain the battery so much it takes forever for it to get a strong enough charge to boot on it's own.
[HTC Rezound] afmracer6:
I had this happen for the first time today. Phone wouldn't start,battery wouldn't charge. My fix.... Open command prompt. Plug phone in to computer. Type " adb reboot recovery" when recovery opens the battery starts charging. Push reboot and Pooooof! A charging phone!
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
Hmmm... I'm beginning to suspect its either an unlocked bootloader issue or a kernel issue and not a ROM issue.

Now thats cool that your phone was able to boot up after an hour on the charger without the charge indicator light telling you it was charging (my phone was probably doing the same thing) but it still shouldnt take that long to be able to boot up the device.

When stock my charge indicator blinks continuously until it's ready to boot up, then it becomes solid. This only takes about 4-5 minutes. When running custom ROM/Kernel it would give me the same thing it gave yours ie. charge indicator turns on for 1-3 seconds and turns off and nothing else.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
I'm definitely going to take this into account and try it when i unlock my phone again. Thanks man!
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
Update in OP!
[HTC Rezound] krstnsn:
Im unlocked and on the senselessICS.

Ive had this issue happen to me several times. However today it was bad. I had it plugged in for 6+ hours with out it being able to turn on.

I had the 3.7v battery in the device.

i messed with it a bit with in that 6hour time frame. Pressing buttons pulling battery, etc. About 4 hours into this whole ordeal... it turned on, on its own. But stayed on the white HTC screen for about 45mins before i pulled the battery and tried to turn it on again. However, it would not turn on. Infact it never turned on....

Heres where it gets interesting. I had the 3.7v. My girlfriend comes home and has the 3.8v. I pop hers out, put it in my device. Fires right up... still sticks on the white HTC screen. While im impatiently waiting, i stick my 3.7v that my phone wouldnt boot with in her device. Fires right up.

I wasnt able to fully boot. Recovery/computer wouldnt mount my SDcard. Though... reformatting it from within recovery allowed it to be mountable again. I also had to wipe and reflash my rom in order to get the POS to boot.

edit: i would also like to note, when putting the battery [my 3.7v] into my girlfriends device. It showed about 80% battery.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
are you running clockworkmod recovery? Your issue sounds identical to mine and I MAY have a solution. I'm testing right now on my own phone right now.
[HTC Rezound] krstnsn:
yes. the touch one. However i had this issue prior with the unofficial clockwork.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
Ok try flashing Amon Ra 3.13. Clockwork mod seems to be the culprit from my end. what was weird is when the phone was shut down I was able to run adb commands and every time i ran "adb devices" it showed my phone as recovery. It seems like clockwork mod recovery was trying to load before anything else preventing the phone from charging and booting up
[HTC Rezound] krstnsn:
every time this has happened prior to today the device eventually turned on, on its own within the first hour.

i also forgot to note that when it happened today the phone actually still had like 10% battery according to the device. I happened to shut it off for whatever reason and then it wouldnt turn on.

ill try amon ra and see if it happens.

come to think of it. my girlfriends rezound is stock and shes complained about her **** not charging when all the way dead when she was at work.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
hmmm.. well test it out and get back to me. we're gonna try and figure this out. I've been on the damn computer like a jackass since 12 pm trying to figure this out. I'm not about to give up.
[HTC Rezound] krstnsn:
no problem. I hope to get it sorted. Im hoping its not a weird unlocked issue.

Also i wouldnt read too much into my GF noncharging accusations. I wasnt there and she says lots of stuff so....
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
I'm draining my battery as we speak for my last go around before i go to bed.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
LOL! Oh I know how that goes.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
More update.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
So it was recovery then...

Makes sense:

These phones never really charge while powered off. When you put it on the charger while the phone is powered down, it boots into a special screen disabled recovery mode.

The MT4G had an issue for a while where it would boot into recovery like normal when plugged in for charging when powered off. A update to CWM fixed it.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
It seems to be so. But then again I want other people to test and confirm for me so we get more solid info.

Every time I ran "adb devices" while powered off i could not for the life of me figure out why it kept saying recovery. After I flashed clockworkmod the last time is when I put two and two together and switched over to Amon Ra which got rid of the problem.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
Great find!

def makes sense..

I have always have Amon-Ra on.

my battery died when I had 3.8v battery and had no issues. now I know why, awesome!
[HTC Rezound] pagereborn:
yeah i think it's the ClockMod Recovery too, I am having issue and have that recovery. I will confirm after my phone gets back on lol.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
haha ok.. well I laid out some instructions on the OP for flashing with a dead battery if you want to give it a try.
[HTC Rezound] pagereborn:
i tried it didnt work, my phone is still dead.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
ok whenever you get a chance to try flashing amon ra let us know.

[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
Hmm... i think you've fully drained. hope is not lost though i dont think you're bricked either. you're going to have to some how charge that battery, or grab a spare battery from somewhere.. do you have an old Incredible or possibly a Thunderbolt?

Edit: because of your situation im going to change the OP so people dont try and do it with an almost dead battery.

Running innefibalus v1.0 GB with dsp9938's 1.1.3 GB kernel. Amon ra recovery. Phone died sometime last night as I was drunk, left my phone running hardcore...woke up to it completely dead. Plugged it into a charger light turned orange and I was booting up all under 5 mins.
[HTC Rezound] jmz:
Here was my setup. Both extended battery and regular battery. Both dead to the point the phone shut off. Plugged into the wall the light would light then go off. But I left it there. For about 2 hours. And when I came back the light was lit and I could boot the phone. When the phone got booted it was at around 40%. So that tells me it is charging just not showing the light. I did this with both batteries.

Running touch recovery.
[HTC Rezound] eharvey:
I'm at this point now guys. I flashed CWM and got his issue last after a long night of, well, not paying atention to my phone :). I had to type "adb reboot bootloader" from DOS about 8 times to get it to actually move. Orange light would come on but nothing. adb devices showed my device in recovery as mentioned earlier. now I am in fastboot but battery too low. I'm unlocked, running stock rooted ROM.

I'm going to let it sit, since I know my PC is talking to this phone and hopefully it will charge the battery up over the next few hours so I can flash back to AR.

Will report back later.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

Ok that was quick. It worked!

I'm back up and running. Battery level is at 10% and charging, I'm booted.

I am running the following:

* OTA updated firmware and software to 2.01.605.11

* Stock, rooted, deodexed

* Scott's Extended Quick Settings, Bored's 4 in 1 Power, Battery % from UOT

* Kernal 2.6.35.13-gf1931dc / htc-kernal@u18000-build-144#1 / Jan 3

* Baseband: 0.95.00.1118r, 0.95.00.1223r

Never had an issue running Amon ra. Flashed CWM touch and could not finish backups. Flashed regular CWM to see if it would work and never had a chance to test before battery died and I ended up here.

I followed these directions to a T and they worked great!!!

The only notes I would want to point out:

* I had to type "adb reboot bootloader" 8 times before it actually booted. Orange light would come on and go out and it stayed on the black screen. All I did was retype and it finally worked.

* I got the battery low error in fastboot when trying to re-flash AR and I just let it sit there for about an hour. Tried again, and it worked great.

Thanks to all and I guess this is it for me. I was always a CWM guy simply because I never heard of Amon ra. Found myself contionually trying to get back to it but I don;t think I will try again. I have never had issues with amon ra and I find it does the same thing.
[HTC Rezound] jonathan413:
it might be a recovery problem but im not sure because this happened to me once and only once since i first rooted and flashed AMON RA..it happened last week..my phone completely died and i plugged it into the charger and the light never turned on but i let it sit on the charger for about 5 to 10 minutes and light turned on and started charging...this is the first and only time this has happened to me in the two or so months I have had this phone..hope this helps
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
Now I do believe you and I'm not disputing that the battery charges without the indicator light coming up, but it should not take over 5 minutes let alone 2 hours while left on the charger after it dies to be able to boot. With CWM I left my phone on the charger for 45 minutes and still couldn't get it to boot. Once I got rid of CWM and flashed Amon Ra charging began immediately and I was able to boot about 2 minutes after I left it on the charger. I've been able to recreate this over and over, and in my eyes thats a pretty serious bug.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Didn't read the 5 pages of posts but here is my limited input.

I think that its a software issue. The fact that you can charge the battery in a charger if it goes dead points to this.

I don't think it has anything to do with any custom recovery. This has been happening since launch, long before we had any sort of unlock or recovery to flash.

Just my 2 cents.

FYI, if you go to verizon, they might still have the thunderbolt external battery chargers for 5 bucks. That is what I use to charge my extended batteries when not in the phone.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
I'm glad it worked out for you.

I've always been a CWM guy myself. I still feel like I am, and I'm sure we'll get an update soon enough to switch back, but for now I would stick with Amon RA until this all gets sorted out.
[HTC Rezound] eharvey:
I have to tell you though, I don't freak out about much when it comes to technology. I have not found much you cannot get around and I am always willing to try stuff.

Having said that...I recall reading about a battery issue with the Rezound and people having to go back to Big Red. I was freaking out about this until I found this post with your good work.

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to figure this out, and more importantly, share your solution with us!
[HTC Rezound] joel4832:
Thanks for working on this. I switched back to Amon Ra this morning after another episode with not booting.
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
It was no problem man. After swapping out my first Rezound and experiencing the problem with the replacement phone, I had a feeling it had something to do with something root related, so I took it upon myself to figure it out.

Thank you for the kind words man!
