Default ***warning*** do not install official cwm updates!!!

After booting with the *fixed* charging issue, I opened up ROM Manager and was prompted to update to the latest version. 5.0.0.10 I believe.

**********DO NOT DO THIS UPDATE AS IT WILL KILL CHARGING**************

I only escaped because I had a spare battery from my previous Sensation that luckily had enough charge left to turn on the device.

************DO NOT UPDATE UNLESS THE DEVS SAY SO***********

You may lose the ability to charge your phone! Meaning - if it dies, the phone is dead. End of the line. The only reason I could bring my own phone back was because I had another Sensation battery that fortunately had enough juice to boot up and for me to flash the image here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1192300

Do not make the same mistake I did or you risk a **************************************BRICK******* **************************

Please do not do any updates !!!!! Koush or not, the charging issue is a very REAL threat! I tried everything and if I did not have a spare battery, I would be completely screwed right now!
If I've helped you, please remember to thank me!

I've had the newest version from Rom Manager for awhile now, and it works fine. Charges while off and everything. We've already got discussions on the new CWR in http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1242522 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1242942

I updated to v5.0.1.0 and got no problems with it. I got 3 battieries so no worries! You wont brick your phone either if you run out of juice, theres a micky mouse way to "jump starting" your dead battery posted above. You guys should really invest $15 for an external charger and anker battery from ebay. The investment is so little for piece of mind.

External charger? Since when would a dead battery = a brick? It's not an iPhone with internal battery that can't be removed.

You aren't even on the latest version of CWM. 5.0.1.0 is the latest and 100% stable.

Please change the thread name to something not as scary, specially when you are the only person that has that kind of issues.
