[HTC One X] JKaye:
battery showing signs of charging

My HOX has this exact problem.

I'm running CWM 5.8.1.8. Phone was on 35% when I shut down from Android and charge it (I prefer to charge my phone while nothing else is draining the battery).

2 hours later came home to a very warm HOX that kept rebooting. Tried clearing the cache option, and for the last few hours been trying everything else too. No luck :-( as I keep being reminded I have a LOW BATTERY warning.

So decided to go into Fastboot and choose shut down.

Plugged phone into wall charger that it came with, and the red light came on. Left it like that for about 30 minutes and came back to a phone with a blinking red LED. This tells me that the battery actually depleted during this "charge" cycle...strange.

Got into fastboot twice and then the battery was almost totally dead. So at one point it was so flat I couldn't boot at all anymore, totally dead!

So grasping at straws I decided to plug my phone into my Ipad charger which charges more rapidly than the standard charger the phone comes with. The red LED is back on and has been that way for about 30 minutes.

On the positive side I thought I should check whether it actually is charging or not,and I'm happy to say that it booted again, and I got into flashboot, but it's still giving me he LOW BATTERY warning, so I guess I'm going to leave it overnight, once I select shutdown in fastboot again.

I'll report back on progress. Hopefully there will be some.

EDIT: AWESOME!!!!

It works!!!

Pictures attached for proof!

So... It's not possible to know exactly how much charge was in the battery when I started charging it on the iPAD charger, but let's assume 5% for now. It took 42 minutes to get to 11% (photo) on the iPAD charger, which apparently is enough to write a successful recovery.img

So in preparation I followed point 4 of ckpv5's post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25133176&postcount=33 (Thanks ckpv5). Basically what is being said in point 4 is that you can run the command without the phone attached and when you think it will work, plug the phone into the PC, choose Fastboot, and the command will run automatically when it detects the phone. Thats exactly what happened for me.

Now a few things to note...

I was running CWM 5.8.1.8

Because I am running LeeDroid 3.00 (Thanks LeeDroid) and because I updated the Kernel as recommended for LeeDroid Version 3.00 it is running 1.28 kernel. So I flashed with the signed 1.28 version on this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1594819 (Thanks broncogr and Kuosh)

What to expect when you're successful...

After the command completes the phone reboots and a strange screen comes up that looks like a green semi-circular arrow...just let it run it's course.

Then another screen comes up that looks like photo 1 which just says Android, It's there for ages, but it seems that once it is the phone is able to charge properly anyway.

After that LeeDroid just suddenly booted up as normal, however because I'd cleared the cache I lost all my personal data. Small price to pay though.

Anyway, that's about it. Pics attached. The last pic shows the 11% I had after the 42 minute charge on teh iPad charger. The iPad charger is a 10W charger and in my case that seems to hae helped.

Good Luck!
