[Q] After root, only charges when off.

---

Hi there,
Rooted my phone yesterday, downgraded from HBoot 2.00 to 1.13 using Nonverbose's script and then used Revolutionary to get S-OFF and then finally flashed Virtuous Quattro RC3 as well as the latest Tiamat kernel.

Works fine, just the phone won't charge if it's switched on. I have to power off for it to charge at all.

I know it's not a ROM problem, because I've tried both Quattro and IceColdSandwich, and neither will charge, and I'm quite sure it's not the cable, as it obviously works when powered off. I have also tried two other cables and one wall charger.

I've tried reflashing the kernel, doing Davlik cache wipes etc. Also checked the battery for bent pins, and it seems fine.

Is there any diagnostic check I can run to see if the battery is faulty etc? Or something I forgot while rooting/flashing?

Thanks in advance,
Larry

Ics roms are always bit laggy atm. Quattro isn't made to use with tiamat. Icecoldsandwich 7 dont needs tiamat cause the stock kernel ist better optimized for it. Try a stock sense, miui or cm7 rom. If this doesn't suit too i think your usb port is in yhe ansroid heaven.

Okay, I'm going to install CM 7.2 RC1 today. When I flash the ROM, do I have to flash another kernel or will Tiamat get lost automatically? Where can I find a download for the stock kernel?

Thanks!

Stock kernel will be included within the rom anyway. So don't worry.

You can transfer files while connected via USB?

I installed CM 7.2 by loading it onto the MicroSD card via a cardreader, because I couldn't get my phone to mount storage on my PC (I kept getting the 'device malfunctioned' message). I can't find the setting to enable disk drive mode, or battery info, can anyone help with this?

Actually, I've got it on now, and I just saw it go from 'Charging (9%)' to 'Charging (8%)', the same as the other roms.

I guess it's the microUSB port?

Do you use your device while charging? Sometimes is the Usb Output lower than the used power. Have you disabled wifi/data/wlan and do on while charging? You have to press in the notification bar on the Usb. Notifications and select usb drive

By way of some miracle, USB mass storage and debugging are working now. Should I try to unroot to get back to S-ON for warranty, assuming it's the microUSB port?

Oh, and I just saw it go from Charging 11% to 12%, so I guess it's charging. I'm afraid to touch it though, guessing the port's really fragile.

If you unlocked it via Htcdev idk if you revert the warranty back because they safed the Toked from you device. If you riitrd ir without any token or so, i would revert it

I didn't use htcdev, just Revolutionary? (not sure if they do the same thing, sorry)
