Seems this problem is common enough then...we already have 3 people including me which have this since I started this thread :confused:

Wondering, if an after market independent battery charger can revive the battery, I'll get one if everything works fine with replacement battery..

I thought about it, but don't want to go ahead...I will just wait for replacement battery...

If you have a qsb_load brick caused in any way, plz try to identify your phones emmc like they did here in the link for the sensation in a Linux environment. You can only access this mode on a bricked phone.

I think we may be able to s-off using a version of this method. Ultimately intentionally bricking a phone and achieve installing a cracked boot loader and s-off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
Ok, I went through the thread to make out, what they are trying to do, however, without much success...

I couldn't find the pin they use on sensation to ground it to SD card frame, to put it in download mode. See the image attached, its kind of different from sensation. Also I can't find it any instructions for Linux environment, its mostly windows based (drivers and software). Can you point out the post or do a write up ? I have a mac with me, I'm guessing it would be same for os X also..

Anyway I don't know, if I should be doing all this...since I plan to RMA the phone to HTC incase it doesn't work with new battery.

However, if its indeed battery related and it does work with new battery, what I can do is ship you the battery which causes the brick. You can try the things on your Amaze, if you want to...since you seem better technically sound than me :)

HTC Sensation Battery DOES work in the Amaze.

Independent battery charger DOES work as well.

I use Anker battery 1900 mAh from Amazon.

I use an external charger also found on Amazon (white- about $10).
[HTC Amaze 4G] themusicmonkey:
Try powering it on by holding the volume button down first, then the power button. There's an issue with current HTC phones not being able to recognize the battery charge status after being discharged. Volume down + power circumvents the normal powering mode, or something like that.

My amaze has this problem that it doesn't turn on the backlight when its fully dead and auto goes into the recovery. Put under a bright light while plugged into the charger and try to press reboot then system on your Twrp recovery. I believe its a Twrp 2.0 problem
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
^No buddy, that 'aint the problem...it doesn't power up at all..anyway I'm getting the replacement battery tomorrow from HTC...having my fingers crossed hope everything works :eek:

It auto powers to that state in which the charge light is on but not charging
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
Got the new battery and my amaze is back to life.... I am so happy :D

Thanks for all the support guys :-) it almost scared the **** out of me lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
I knew it had to be a battery failure this happened to me before also.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
Yes, looks to be a fairly common thing with Amaze, you are the fourth one now, who reported the same thing...maybe its a bug with Amaze charging circuit...

Anyway I have ordered a independent battery charger to see if the dead battery can be revived via it..
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
same issue with my battery, sounds very common.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
If I remember your Amaze with everything stock has this issue right ? So custom ROMs can be ruled out..its a bug with the phone itself?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
My buddy had it happen on Energy ROM... What were u running?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
Energy ROM also with stock kernel :eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Hmmm... Interesting :screwy:
[HTC Amaze 4G] kishon120:
I agree with you on this one . My phone does this so much . I wish there was way to charge the phone if it's not turned on to avoid this . Even if I leave it to charge in this mode after the battery is completely dead, it only stays on for so long . I think this may be a lot of people's problem rather than a dead battery .
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
We have another one :(

I think we need to narrow it down and get down to its root what causes it, I'm afraid my replacement battery can die the same death too if the phone discharges again :(

Just a possible theory...I noticed that CWM recovery included in hasoon's tool doesn't support off charging (as I can't see the light when in recovery)...could it be the reason ? Could we prevent by flashing xboarder56's CWM version..which does have it?

Also andy please confirm, if it was the stock Amaze which had this issue ? If it was, then its nothing to do with rooting or custom roms, its a bug with the phone :( We can't do anything much about it then except curse HTC
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I have 2 amaze's, the one that died was running a stock kernel and energy rom as well. I threw in the stocker's battery and it turned on fine. Sounds like something's up with energy rom. I'm getting a replacement battery from telus so as soon as its in I'll be switching roms.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
Wow really :eek: No offense to NRGZ, he's a great chef but now I am scared I'm switching ROMs..could be it has nothing to do with it, but why take chances :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Raydonn:
Actually, I think I remember reading something a while back, but there's a problem with either some of the custom ROMs or recoveries.

I think some developers also warned NOT to let your battery discharge all the way when using the custom ROM/recovery, or else you won't be able to charge it again.

This was a while back though, so I don't know if this is the same problem.

So short version, don't let your phone's battery die down to 0% before charging it again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
My buddy also let his die all the way... I will warn him now to keep some juice in that thing. My battery got down to 1% yesterday... Whew close call. Thanks for heads up. I would switch to bulletproof 2.5 but I heard battery isn't as good... Maybe I will have to try
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
Wow, that's scary to say the least especially with Amaze's horrible battery life :eek: . However, it would be great if you try to look for the source of this information otherwise it can create lot of panic here, its almost hard to believe. If that's the case, I'm better off with stock ROM.

I'm also switching to Bulletproof, less battery is way better than no battery, lol

but how do we know..bulletproof is immune of this issue..anyone brave enough to test :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I never let my rooted phone's battery go down to nothing, it always had a charge. I used it on and off at home, and it was plugged in most of the time. It was odd when I picked it up and went to turn it on, no screen, no turn on, nothing. Phone had over 90% last time I picked it up, maybe 4 hrs before I noticed it was done. There's no way it would have died that quick with how I used it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Raydonn:
Unfortunately, I don't remember what thread it was in and couldn't find it. All I remember was reading it one day, and henceforth I stopped discharging my phone completely to avoid the issue.

Beyond that, you can only trust me on hearsay. (if someone else has more information, or remembers, be my guest!)

Without knowing for sure, but yours could also be a multitude of reasons (you actually did have a defective battery / rogue app(s) drained it in 4 hours / it was something else / etc.). However, I'm still prone to believe most of these reported issues with custom roms/recoveries are because the batteries were discharged completely. If someone were able to charge them again with an external charger, I bet it would work flawlessly again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I thought the charging issue was a recovery problem. When xboarder was still developing here there were cases of this issue happening.

Since the threads have been closed/deleted then there are no longer any write ups regarding the concern.

My phone charges and turns on just fine when my battery is dead.

I'm using X's CWM Touch 5.8.0.9 and Energy ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jwds1978:
I've had my battery go to 0% a couple of times with the recovery in my signature. I just plugged it in for 10-15 minutes to charge some and then turned it on to finish charging.

I have changed to X's touch recovery and kernel to Faux 009 and guess what I was able to revive my dead battery... I dont know where the bug lied exactly as somebody mentioned at other place the stock kernel in NRGZ thread is different from tmo stock and causing problems My guess is bad recovery though...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcorv58:
This is the issue I was having, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579498

I read somewhere that twrp was causing charging issues, still not sure completely. Usually when I get a new phone I let the battery die and then do a complete charge, not gonna do that again if that causes issues like I had.
[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
This happened to me last night. My phone discharged all the way and now it won't boot up at all. I've let it discharge before with no problems.

I was running: recovery- CWM 5.0.2.6, kernel-stock, rom- energy 3/10/12

I guess I'll be hitting up the tmo store today.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Wait... My battery died last night and I tried charging it and it was flashing and not turning on... I let it charge for 15-20 min, did a battery pull, charged it for another minute, unplugged it and turned it on... It worked just fine :D

Best thing I ever got for my phone. Under 4 bucks shipped. Works great if you are having issues charging your battery if you let it go completely dead. I don't use it much but don't worry about completely draining my battery anymore either.

Works well if you have a 2nd battery too, since you can charge a battery in the charger and use the USB plug at the same time.

Thanks dude! Just ordered the charger!

Its not the kernel. The kernel has nothing to do with it. It is solely that recovery that is the issue

[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
Even I think so that too...but all the people who report this issue are on NRGZ rom with stock kernel. Somebody on android-dev also mentioned the kernel to be culprit, so mentioned as a possible. It could be easily validated though if someone using NRGZ rom and his stock kernel discharges his phone fully and is able to charge back..I've sold off my Amaze so I can't do this test..

On a side note, if we're sure its the bug with the recovery, mods should remove all remove all references of that recovery version from the Amaze forum as well as hasoon should remove that from his toolkit. I almost sent my phone back due to this bug, good thing I didn't but still had to suffer inconvenience of waiting 4-5 days with a dead phone while the battery was on its way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I already did that. got a replacement battery, the battery I had in the stock amaze ran dry in the energy /w stock kernel, and couldn't charge. put the battery in the stock amaze and it still flashed a couple times but then charged up to 100%, and is still going strong. rooted phone had older cwm recovery and can't charge while off. Upgraded recovery and repeated same test, and was able to charge.

I think the fact that so many people ran that rom/kernel/recovery setup, sooner or later a few were bound to drain the battery 100% and have this happen to them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
Ok thanks for the confirmation..so its due to bad recovery only..I will update the first post..
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
I as well have had stock kernel and i charge my phone with it off after a complete battery drain all the time with no problem, using touch recovery. That was why i stated earlier it was a recovery problem.

Well glacierguy, I followed your directions to a T and it worked perfectly. You earned this thanks for sure.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I'm not gonna lie... I bugged out when it died... It was quite a sigh of relief for me as well once it booted... Glad it worked.

Also... I'm on Energy ROM with stock kernel... And my phone DID die completely, and it DID NOT need a new battery... :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Ok... Quick update. I've recently switched from Energy ROM/Stock Kernel to Stock rooted ROM, and ALSO am running a new, unreleased 4ext recovery build.

While testing the last builds of recovery, one of the fixes Maxx was working on was the flashing led while charging when off. That means, I had to let my phone die to test this. The phone died with 2% remaining. I noticed it was at 2%, so I turned the phone back on. It would boot fully (quickboot with no splash screen) for less than a minute and would die. FINALLY, I was able to kill the battery enough to where it wouldn't boot any more. I considered it as dead as I could get it.

I plugged my phone in, first thing I noticed, the led was solid and not flashing. After letting it charge for about 1 min, I turned the phone on, and it fired right up... Starting with the splash screen.

This means 1 of 2 things, if not both.

1) Maxx fixed the NIGHTMARE that happens when letting the rooted phone die;

And/Or

2) the stock rooted ROM doesn't have that nightmare and its all an Energy ROM problem.

Idk... Just what I noticed. I hope this helps with clarification and helps someone. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
Good to see that it looks like it's fixed.

Funny thing with the battery though is when I had my one battery die on me unexpectedly ( I know it had to have around 30-40% left when It died) I tried to charge in the rooted phone and got the flashing lights, then nothing. Same battery in the completely stock phone and it still flashed for the first 5-10s or so, then charged up normally.

After trying out a bunch of different combinations I was left with the conclusion that it didn't have anything to do with the rom, but the recovery. I tried the same battery drain again after I upgraded to 5.8 rec. and it charged up normally, went back to 5.0.2.6 and couldn't get it to charge. It didn't matter what rom I used (I was switching between fourth bar and energy)

So, recovery is the cheese, make sure you're upgraded to a newer CWM, I haven't tried anything out with 4ext, but sounds like that won't be an issue anyway.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jwds1978:
Off-charging is also working properly in the latest build (42+) of the 4EXT Recovery Touch.

everybody gets different result with particular Radios, maybe try two or three and compare?

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ponyboy82:
I believe the running concensus is that yes, they can bust you. Possibly by sending you a bill and/or enrolling you in the wifi tether plan. I'm sure they could legally void your contract and/or refuse service to you as well (there goes that grandfathered unlimited data plan). That said, I don't know how many cases there are of them actually doing this, so from what I've seen, people say to just keep it within reason.

There will ALWAYS be something else coming out soon that you will want to hold out for. These arn't the old days of the original Razr where only one cool ass phone comes along once in a while. It seems every week a company releases something about a phone thats in the works or that one thats been announced will finally be released on such and such day and network. My point is, if you wait for whats coming out, you will always be waiting. Only when there isn't crap out that interested you is when you should wait. Every day that goes by now will be another day you have to wait for your next upgrade.

Few hours later, i was tethering, then as I came back to my phone I saw it had restarted and that Verizon had sent out an OTA update (which I selected CANCEL to, btw). My phone restarted again and I lost root, plus my phone went to 2.3.6.

I tried to reroot again on 2.3.6, but the oneclickroot batch file didn't root it this time (permissions were denied when trying to push files and use the chmod 777 command). I later tried the manual process, but still not luck. :mad:
