Amaze Bricked

Ok... Quick update. I've recently switched from Energy ROM/Stock Kernel to Stock rooted ROM, and ALSO am running a new, unreleased 4ext recovery build.

While testing the last builds of recovery, one of the fixes Maxx was working on was the flashing led while charging when off. That means, I had to let my phone die to test this. The phone died with 2% remaining. I noticed it was at 2%, so I turned the phone back on. It would boot fully (quickboot with no splash screen) for less than a minute and would die. FINALLY, I was able to kill the battery enough to where it wouldn't boot any more. I considered it as dead as I could get it.

I plugged my phone in, first thing I noticed, the led was solid and not flashing. After letting it charge for about 1 min, I turned the phone on, and it fired right up... Starting with the splash screen.

This means 1 of 2 things, if not both.

1) Maxx fixed the NIGHTMARE that happens when letting the rooted phone die;

And/Or

2) the stock rooted ROM doesn't have that nightmare and its all an Energy ROM problem.

Idk... Just what I noticed. I hope this helps with clarification and helps someone.

Good to see that it looks like it's fixed.

Funny thing with the battery though is when I had my one battery die on me unexpectedly ( I know it had to have around 30-40% left when It died) I tried to charge in the rooted phone and got the flashing lights, then nothing. Same battery in the completely stock phone and it still flashed for the first 5-10s or so, then charged up normally.

After trying out a bunch of different combinations I was left with the conclusion that it didn't have anything to do with the rom, but the recovery. I tried the same battery drain again after I upgraded to 5.8 rec. and it charged up normally, went back to 5.0.2.6 and couldn't get it to charge. It didn't matter what rom I used (I was switching between fourth bar and energy)

So, recovery is the cheese, make sure you're upgraded to a newer CWM, I haven't tried anything out with 4ext, but sounds like that won't be an issue anyway.

Off-charging is also working properly in the latest build (42+) of the 4EXT Recovery Touch.
