[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
After a little discussion in the Development section, we decided to offer a fix for those who continue to use ROM Manager and Clockwork Mod Recovery. Some of you started using CWM as default choice, not knowing the issues, and others of you simply prefer CWM.

Be warned! Neither I nor any others credited in this post are responsible for you breaking your phone! You do this at your own risk! This is given as a basic tutorial, but assumes some working knowledge of Windows and command line

The reason your battery does not appear to charge is that you are using CWM, which puts the Rezound in a recovery state (screen off) when the battery is run down too far. The recovery's kernel does not activate the LED while charging. CWM recovery also does not recognize use of the power button. Please see more about this below, in punman's replies to this post.

NilsP has posted a fixed recovery.img based on CWM Touch. This is essentially a kang of Koush's work, but the only change is the battery fix. Nils has tested the fix for a few months and feels confident that it works properly. Neither he nor I take any credit for this. The fix was provided punman (many thanks to you), who is willing to field support questions, as noted below in his responses, and know far more about the recovery than I do. If you use the "fixed" CWM recovery found here for download, please give him your thanks.

EDIT: The "fixed" CWM Touch works in two ways:

1. - If you replace your current battery with a charged one.

or

2. - If you leave your Rezound charging for a few minutes, then use the command "adb reboot."

The following steps should bring your rezound back and are based on djh816's guide for "Debricking your Rezound" here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1711408. Thanks to djh816 for his work on this.

What do you need?

1. A Windows 7 PC

2. Fastboot and ADB installed (you do not have to install the Android SDK, unless you want to). Links to these two programs are common in the development section and throughout xda.

3. Patience

Start up your PC and place a copy of the file I have attached into the directory where you have placed ADB and Fastboot on your PC. Rename this file "recovery." If you have deselected "Hide extensions for known file types" in your advanced folder viewing settings, confirm that the file is named "recovery.img"

Plug in your Rezound and confirm you receive a USB connection sound. If you don't get the connect sound, install HTC Sync and try connecting again. Make sure you select "Charge only" on your Rezound

With Windows 7, search in the Start menu for "cmd" and right click on the cmd program selecting "Run as administrator" - click "Yes" or enter your admin credentials in the UAC dialog box.

In the command line window, type "cd" and the path to the ADB/Fastboot directory.

ex.: "cd C:\Users\WookieFan\Desktop\ADB" (excluding quotations)

Type the following exactly (excluding quotations):

"adb devices"

If the list of devices is blank, unplug your Rezound and plug it back in to confirm you hear the USB connect sound.

If you have a device listed, type the following (as always, no quotation marks):

"adb reboot recovery"

If you have not had your phone plugged in for ten minutes or more at this point, this command may do nothing. After a few minutes, your Rezound will have trickle charged enough to reboot into CWM, so keep trying every few minutes.

Once you've successfully booted into a normal recovery state, leave the phone charging on your PC for an additional 15 minutes. There is some debate whether or not the Rezound charges in CWM recovery. It has done so for me, even though the charging indicator light does not come on.

Now type:

"adb reboot"

Your phone will now be charged around 10% and should reboot normally. You can charge it up using a regular outlet at your convenience. If you are unable to reboot your phone normally, wait a few minutes more and try again.

To avoid this problem in the future, flash Amon Ra or TWRP recoveries via Hasoon's All-In-One Toolkit v2.x found here:

Or, if you prefer to continue using CWM, take a deep breath and try the following:

With your phone connected to your PC via USB, type the following into your command line window:

"adb devices"

and confirm your device is listed. Then type:

"adb reboot bootloader"

After a short wait, your phone will reboot to the bootloader (HBOOT) and you will see the familiar white screen with skateboarding androids. "Fastboot" should be highlit at this time.

Now type:

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

You will receive a confirmation that the flash went through successfully and you will now have a fixed version of CWM Touch recovery installed. Now type:

"fasboot reboot"

This will bring you back to a normally operating Rezound. But wait! there's one more step.

Before you take this next step, I would also suggest that you go into ROM Manager settings and confirm that "Quick Backup and Restore" is checked and "Use External Storage" is checked.

Using the root explorer of your choice, navigate to the clockworkmod directory. The full path will be something like this:

/%root%/mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/clockworkmod/

Create a file in this folder named ".hideandroidprogress" - this is a hidden file, so once you've created it correctly, you may not see it in the directory.

At this point ROM manager and CWM will work primarily as you would expect. I have heard that there are issues flashing ROMs or recovering backups from internal storage, but I did not test this, since I feel it is best to keep backups on your external storage and to flash ROMs and backups from there as well.

As always, be careful, ask questions and read through the instructions. Good luck!
