[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
I flashed a new ROM (Nova unofficial CM10) and let the battery drain till it went off, normally it starts charging again when I plug it in the wall charger, but this time nothing it seems :crying: the red led is on, but the battery doesn't get warm and it doesn't turn on normally. Sometimes it randomly boots till the unlock screen shows up from the ROM, but the screen isn't responding and then it turns of again. I tried to do something in the recovery, but since there are no other ROM files on the Phone I can't try any other kernel or ROM. USB storage doesn't seem to be working in this recovery... or it might be my windows 8.

Should I wait a few "hours"?? The red led is still on... so it's doing something right?

/help

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] creedabhi:
Ok here is the solution It happend to me also ok dont worry just update ur phone using Sony official ics update called SUS and dont worry about that ur devise is not charging and neither connecting to pc just connet via USB follow the instruction from SUS. Its not the matter that ur USB is not working and it shows sometime connection and dis connecton and if even now it show nothing just remove ur battery for five min if ur phone has removable battery system
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
the bootloader is unlocked... pretty sure SUS won't be working, but I will try. And I don't have a removable battery system but I can forcefully shut it down.

edit:

it keeps showing up the red led, flashmode and fastboot don't work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] creedabhi:
Ok then u have the only way just connect it via USB and update SUS its the only way for u. It wil download 40mb then install the soft it says to connect ur divise and it wil donload 225mb firmware tft after that it wil update ur devise
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
it will not connect to USB, it's too empty for that... it's either recovery or nothing at all. But USB storage isn't working.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gnahanut:
I'm having the problem also :(

I let the phone run out of battery, and after that the phone only charges for a few minutes with red LED on. Then it boots, says that battery at 0% and then turn off :(

I have NOVA rom.

Any help?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
it seems I fixed it! it took me a damn while, but it seems to be charging now.

what I did:

1: Download Advanced Stock Kernel 17 (fastboot version)

2: wait for it to turn off

3: charge Phone till it boots again

4: hold power + vol up till it vibrates 3 times

5: get the Phone in fastboot mode (plug-in the Phone and hold vol up)

6: fastboot the kernel

7: reboot and hook-up the charger and it should charge again :victory: (without booting)

my battery indicator is now yellow!! and the on-screen battery shows yellow as well. :cool:

ps: try using a normal charger and not the sony wall charger... it seems to be working better when the OS is not booted.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gnahanut:
Okay I got it solved too! :D

Mine is as follow:

- Let it charge till the screen boots up.

- Power + volume up for 1 vibration, and then hold volume up for fastboot mode.

- Flash adv kernel 17 and then connect to charger. Let it charge for 30 mins.

- Reflash Nova kernel

Everything works perfectly after that :D

I think Nova kernel does not support offline charging @_@
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
yeah, it seems not @_@

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YashBhatt:
Even I have the same problem,so you guys just flashed the Advanced kernel without touching the ROM right ??

Because its a ICS kernel and i'm running PA 2.57 which is based on CM10,I'm gonna try this out

EDIT :

This is what i did,my phone wouldn't reset(Soft or Hard reset) but i was able to get into recovery and would get around a minute when the phone powered on showing "Charging 0%"

1. Copied the CWM version of Advanced Kernel 17

2. Booted the phone in TWRP(Nova Kernel has TWRP instead of CWM)

3. Flashed the Advanced Kernel,Rebooted

4. I was now able to charge offline as well as the phone would reset(Hard and Soft both)

5. After 15mins booted in recovery and flashed Nova Kernel back

6. Rebooted into ROM and voila showed 40% charge
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
You can always flash a kernel, but it will probably reboot right away. TWRP didn't seem to work with windows 8... CWM does work fine, but then again I had TWRP so I wasn't able to copy the file to the Phone and flash it using the recovery. Recovery did work though but it didn't have enough juice to perform a sideload, so fastboot was the only option for me.

But it seems you figured everything out already :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] izzet3838:


Or you can download the xperia x10 flasher and the stock rom for your country from this forum

And flash it before i jad my xperia s i jad a xplay and it did work with my xplay
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YashBhatt:
Why go all the way round and get back to stock when flashing a different kernel does the trick for you

Tbh,flashing takes lots of time especially when you are hoping around different ROM's i didn't have that kinda patience so went with the shorter way to getting the phone up and running :p

What kernel and version of kernel caused this problem?

Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cbhere:
Exact same issue

I had the exact same issue with Nova Kernal.

As I was usng PAC ROM I flashed the FXP kernal that came with PAC ROM and it started charging again.

So I Think the issue is with Nova Kernal..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] captncreepage:
So basically I have the same issue. The battery of the phone was nearly empty and I decided to recharge it. Unfortunately it didn't charge.

What was the cause: I upgraded to 6.1.a.2.55 stock rom and I wanted to root it. It worked well and I could reinstall all the apps.

The current situation is: The battery is empty now but when I connect it to my computer's USB port it comes up every now and then I can get into the phone, I can access flashboot and also I'm able to get into fastboot. So I tried it with the solution given above but it is not working. I tried to flash the old 6.1.a.2.50 but the flashtool will not install it. Here is the log file:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
can u press power+vol up and hold both of em till the phone vibrates three times? if yes.. open flashtool. select flashmode, pick your ftf, and when the flashtool told you to plug the device, plug it while holding volume down.. if it's recognized by the pc, it will show green led, and it will stay green after the flashtool finished flashing. if it's only show green then back to red, u need to install flashmode driver first.

if the phone cant vibrate three times, u need to charging your device first. some say in just couple minutes, some even says a whole day.

hope it'll help.

i flashed stock kernel 17 but still boots again like before and wont charge... :( what ather kernel to try?

it boots i can see sony logo.... but the led is not showing me anything....its just off.... how can i know if its charging?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
it should show a big battery logo in the middle of the screen.

after flashing turn it off and plug in the cable, don't touch the Phone it should go to the charging screen automatically.

If not... something else is wrong :(

k, but if there's no ROM or anything because i wiped it from the phone what to do?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
it shouldn't matter, the charging script is build in the kernel not in the ROM.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AlexBurnout77:
Exactly the same thing.

The exact same thing happened to me, I installed NOVA Kernel 1.6 and then everything became a big nothing. I got really the same simptoms on my XS so yeah, NOVA really disappointed me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
If you have a kernel installed but no Rom and turn on phone, it will bootloop until the battery is dead. It will NOT charge until it resets. Once the battery is dead the phone resets Itself.

Then you should get the "low battery level mode" of charging and just a red led.

After charging enough the kernel should try to start in offline charging mode. First you will get the kernel boot screen then the battery icon.

This will all happen when plugged into a charger.

However not all custom kernels have offline charging mode.

Please read the first post in the recovery in my signature. It talks about charging cycles and batteries.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] baytee:
Hi, in the Nook Development forums, I found this post from Albert Wentz: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439630

But unless I'm confused, I believe there are many other posts with other roll-your-own instructions? Such as: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466583

All I want to do is build the SD card for my kid's nooks (versus paying $20 to N2A) so I can boot to it to run Android just like the N2A card. Does anyone know which post N2A may have followed to build their version? Or is Al's post the most modern build? Or the 2nd URL I list?

I'm quite technical so know I can do this, I just need to know which is the latest and greatest, or if there are many diff build customizations, which, let's say, is the most popular ? I mainly care that it has Google Play and Amazon App stores, and that I can sideload ebooks, mp3's,videos. If it comes with other apps, fine, but I'm fine with downloading,installing any I wish afterwards.

And.....some posts mention you don't have to modify your nook at all, just boot to the SD card, but others say it modifies the Nook (roots it), so that if you ever had to return it you'd have to restore it (hence best to back it up beforehand). Which is correct???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jaxn51:
Al's method works fine. Anything you mentioned that you wish to try will work. I ran boot to SD android rom for several months before I took the plunge and rooted my 8gb Nook to a full android tablet.

It in no way modifies the internal workings of your Nook. The Nook allows booting to the card by design. Just use a Sandisk card of 8gb or more for best results and all you need is a class 4 speed rating. Believe it or not, a class 10 doesn't work as well.

YMMV

Good luck and have fun with it! :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] baytee:
OK thanks, so if I understand you, rooting is a separate method, as in my 2nd URL referenced. (and in reading that, the SD card is only used to flash (or pull) the image from, to put onto your Nook.) I don't know about backup, but I don't think I want to mess with the stock OS for now. Maybe if B&N abandons it. I guess I don't see it as a big deal that my kids will need to reboot each time to toggle between nook OS and Android.

I read that about the Class4 vs 10. I think I even read posts about class 10's not only running slow, but acting really buggy? Is that right?... One of our SD cards is a 16GB class 4 and a 8GB class 6. Anyone heard if class 6's have any issues?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
Extremely easy process to build a card similar to N2A to run a very stable CM10 from:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
The step by step you'll find somewhere here on XDA actually is the work of the guy I posted to. So my link is the source. That "Iamafanof" blogger is the person "Succulent" you'll see referred to here at XDA. Entirely up to you of course, but I don't see why you wouldn't at least check it out.

Edit:

You do not need a Linux system and I don't know what gave you the idea you would. The process is extremely simple: Download a rather large file, burn it to an sd-card, expand one partition (optional but recommended).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] baytee:
I thought that because as far as I'm aware, the EXT4 that he mentions (for P3 Data1) is a linux type partition. (unless some Windows partitioning tool can create it I'm not aware of) I'm willing to try his steps. So I guess you'd recreate the "P3 FAT32 SDCARD" partition the same size as it was before then? And the P4 (EXT4) you'd resize, as you mention, to take advantage of all the rest of the space on your 8 or 16GB card. But what free tool under Windows can create EXT4 ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
You do not have to create any EXT4 partition. Nor any other other kind of partition. All you have to do is expand the FAT32 partition. MiniTool is free and will do that for you.

http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html

Edit: And, FWIW, I went and checked. Mini Tool can also create EXT4 partitions, should you want to.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] baytee:
I got that image onto the SDcard, it now has 4 partitions:

BOOT 249MB (FAT32)

350MB (EXT3) 91% used

600MB (EXT3) 3% used

SDCARD 713MB (FAT32)

13GB Unallocated

So I would right click partition "SDCARD", extend it to the 13GB.

But, in his post he mentions one partition (P3,DATA1, which MiniTool doesn't show any partition labeled as such, but I assume he's just talking about the 3rd partition (the 600MB Ext3 partition) being used to store just apps & app data. (I assume since it's EXT3 which is compat w/linux i.e. Android) If so, what do you think..is 600MB enough for downloading/installing lots of apps? Or is it wiser to extend it to maybe 2 or 4 or even GB? For example I have the Humble Bundle games for Android Tablet. The installs (APK) are huge...anywhere from 30-200MB themselves..... I assume their post-install size takes up a different amount of space (more) than the APK itself, just as with Windows EXE installers? And if I recall correctly I believe once installed, you can del the APK... Anyhow, I'm emailing the company to see what install reqs for disk space are, since all they list the APK size.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
Only you know how large data partition you need but it sure looks like you need it larger than 600.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
So, to add some sort of instructions:

Delete partitions 3 and 4 (the 600 and 713 MB ones)

Apply changes (top left)

Create a new partition 3. Make it EXT4, Primary and the size you want

Apply changes

Create a new partition 4, FAT32, primary to pick up whatever is left unallocated

Apply changes

Don't forget to "apply changes"
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Although all apps downloaded from Google Play will reside on /data partition, many apps keep their data separately in the internal user-media partition or on the external SDcard (the 4th /sdcard partition in your case). For example, I have a video game app which takes ~30MB for itself in /data but ~350MB for data storage on the SDcard. The Titanium Backup app works the same way. So you'll have to anticipate not just the app's storage size requirement but also its targeted partition for data storage.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] panamamike:
Does this also work for CM 12?

Can these instructions be used with CM12 Lolipop?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Yes, if you can find a CM12 ROM image that was specifically compiled to run on SD.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] panamamike:
Where can I find that ROM image? I haven't had much luck finding such a ROM, I haven't seen that specified. :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitchcity:
So, here is something I just noticed. If you are running the latest CyanogenMod nightly, and want to use Franco's kernel, there is a bit of an overlap. I use CyanDelta to keep the nightly semi-up-to-date (I've set it to check for the latest nightly every three days). This app is great because it because does a diff to see what has changed between the presently flashed nightly and the current one - and only downloads the components that have been modified (e.g. ~6-10 MB download instead of 100-200). Awesome.

However, when you flash the latest nightly, CM actually flashes *its own kernel*, overwriting Franco's. So, if you want to stay up to date on the nightlies, you have to flash the kernel twice (once during the CM update, and again to re-apply Franco's).

I'm almost wondering if I should just not bother with Franco's - at least until a stable CM comes out and updates will be less frequent. What do you all think?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luca1102:
AW: [Q] CyanDelta, Franco, and CM

You can add a second ZIP in the flash que . For that you have to move your Franco kernel ZIP into the cyandelta folder and check it as secondary ZIP in cyandelta . Then it will automatically flashed after the nightly update .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitchcity:
That is a great idea. Is there a way to set a custom directory for Franco's kernel updater? Right now, or downloads to the root directory - but it would be better if it downloaded it's nightlies directly to the CyanDelta directory.
