You said you have cwm 5.0.2.6. That is your problem. That version doesn't allow you to charge it if your phone is off. If your battery is dead, you need to charge it with someone else's phone or use their battery and flash a different recovery.

I remember seeing my battery still having a charge, although I guess I could be remembering wrong. I am going to charge the battery itself using an adapter that came with the Anker battery. I will charge the stock just to be safe and see what happens.

I use the original stock charger to charge my phone and use the adapter to charge my extra batteries. If what you say is true about 5.0.2.6, then I will charge the batteries externally (I haven't charged them in a while) and once the adapter has indicated that it has full battery I will place it back in the phone and see if it turns on.

I feel silly! I charged the battery externally and plugged it in my phone and it worked flawlessly! You sir are awesome!!!

I had no IDEA that 5.0.2.6 could not charge if it was completely drained.

OKAY since you know about this issue, is there a way for me to fix the issue where my EXTERNAL SD card is not being read when I have EXT4 or a newer version of CWM (touch and non touch)? It will read the internal one for whatever reason.

When you choose install from sd card, you'll see in that folder there is a folder name ext-sd, hit that and you'll be on your external sd card. The newer recoveries read the sd card the same way the android OS does now.

Your not understanding what I am saying. There is no way to mount the external sd card. If your unable to mount the ext sd card that folder you mention will not take you to the ext sd card. Only way I can mount the ext sd card is if I use cmw 5.0.2.6. Nothing else works. Newer cmw mounts internal sd and so does ext4 but will not detect ext sd card.

Read back my post on how to get to the external sd card, the sd is mounted and right there, accessing it is just done differently, choose install zip from sd card, when the internal card shows look for the ext_sd folder and open it, once it opens, YOU ARE ON THE EXTERNAL SD CARD. Understand?

Yes I understand, tried it again for the sake of argument, I loaded ext4, went into ext sd folder, and all it does it seems to just blinks out as if its going inside the ext sd folder and then nothing, it just shows the contents of the internal SD. Weird. This started happening after I S-Off. I did not have this problem before.

Also, my phone ended up shutting down again. I was on for 10+ hours with and it did not give me any indication that the battery was low. I went ahead and charged the battery externally for a few minutes and inserted it back into my phone. It turned on showing only 4% battery. I then charged it with my htc charger. I woke up this morning to find that it got really warm and but working fine.

Another thing to note, I fully charged my Anker battery externally using wall adapter, when I plugged it in to my phone, it would not turn on. I inserted the HTC battery (with barely a charge) back in and it turned right on.
What do you guys make of that? Bad battery?

Possibly, go into 4EXT, wipe battery stats, full charge the battery then wipe it again, flash a stock ruu via hboot and do a check, see if the problem persist.

I'll do that, I will record a small video and upload to youtube for you to see what I am talking about the ext sd not mounting in ext4.

Cool, try the stock, clean up thing, let's hope that wipes away the problem.
