Ever since getting my phone 'S-OFF', I have run into a problem whenever the battery runs totally flat, such as when I forget to plug the phone in before going to bed.
If I plug the phone in when the battery is totally flat, the orange light blinks for a minute, but instead of a screen showing a recharging battery, it brings up the TWRP swipe to unlock screen and freezes there. The keys and screen do not respond and the orange led continues to flash even when I unplug the phone. A long press on the power button (even over 60 seconds) does nothing. I have to take out the battery to switch the phone off.
If I plug the phone in when the battery is fully or partially charged and the phone is still switched off, the orange light comes on and the phone will not switch on. The orange LED stays on even when I unplug it and again remains frozen like this until I take out the battery.
Once I take out the battery and put it back in, I can power up the phone fine, so long as I do not plug it in (USB or power) before turning the phone on.
This issue is most annoying when the battery goes completely flat, as there is no way to turn the phone on before plugging it in. I.e., I need to plug it in (which brings up that frozen slide-to-unlock TWRP screen), wait 5 minutes, unplug it, remove and reload the battery, switch on and then plug it in to continue charging.
My HTC One SV phone has K2_UL (EU LTE model), HBOOT 2.0, Android 4.2.2 and TWRP 2.7.1.0.
I suspect the issue could be whatever the phone boots into to show the battery charging screen has gone corrupt. From what I recall, this screen showed a large green battery with a percentage indicator.
