Is there any way i can charge up the battery?

just tried,after i hit the power, the green light bulb lights up a while, and nothing shows up..........

This had happened to me a few times when I let the battery drain completely. Leave it plugged in for awhile before starting it.

did your phone flash on and off when plugged in?

Bricked

So, I did S-Off yesterday, flashed the SU binary yesterday. Did NAND backup for good measure. All great and all.
Today, I wake up and phone is off. Realized I forgot to charge it. Plugged into charger, and orange light comes on, turns off for about 2 seconds, turns on again. 10 minutes plugged in, Pune won't turn on. Took out and licked the battery terminals. It has juice.
Noticed that now the light doing quick flash of orange quick flash of green. None of buttons do anything.
Any ideas?
Leave it charge for about 1 hour, then try to boot up. If you have a battery dock use that, if not just plug in and let it sit.
edit.....i just seen another thread where the phone doesnt charge while off, what recovery are you using? I have the twrp (TeamWin Recovery) and it is charging while phone is off.

The team win recovery. I did a crude battery test (licking terminals) and it should have sufficient juice to boot up
Unplug it and turn it on, its not bricked. But it wont turn on as long as its plugged in.

Weird, did turn on, but power button was weird. Had to push it few times. Booted up, shows about 50% battery

But unplugging it did the trick right?

that would be my thread.
It was suggested on that thread that I use a different recovery (using CWM at the moment), but I see that the person who is having this same problem is using TeamWin recovery and has the same issue, so I'm guessing that it's not the recovery itself but some other reason.

I think it has something to do with turning off fast boot. I checked it back, and it worked like it did before.

Now my phone all of a sudden won't boot into hboot. Yesterday it did but today it hasn't. And I have no system data so it just hangs at the splash.

It's because HTC won't allow charging with the phone off (trickle charge) due to the fact it kills battery cells fast and HTC doesn't like replacing batteries. Keep fastboot on in power menu and you will be able to charge with "phone off"...because it truly isn't off.....

[Q] First time use - Won't power on?

Just got my prime, plug it in to the wall charger, and it flashed on for a second and showed a red battery icon and then the screen turned off.
I've had it charging for close to an hour now, and it won't turn on.
When plugged in to the wall, i have an amber light on the power button. Tapping power, or holding it down for 10,20,30 seconds doesn't do much, but the amber light will blink a few time.
If unplugged from wall, nothing at all. No light or power.
Am I just being too anxious and it needs to charge for 8 hours before it will even boot up or what?
I plan on letting it charge for 8 hr, but figured I could turn it on and check it out while attached to the power outlet.
What has/was your experience?
Thanks!

That's normal.just leave it plugged in for an hour or two then try again.
Thanks - was able to get it to power on - just showed the battery screen again and shut off. So I just need to chill and let it charge.

Mine came completely dead so just have to wait a little while

help! phone wont turn on!

I tried pulling the battery out and volume down + power but it does nothing!
Did you run out of battery? I usually have to charge about ten minutes before it turns back on.

Ye its still not turning on
When you plug it in does the red light come on or stay lit all day long? Could be a bad battery that isn't holding a charge. If you had it plugged in all day and it didn't turn greeen.

I tried to flash a rom and when I came back I noticed my phone wouldn't turn on. It was fine charging the whole day. Now when I plug it in I get the red light for a second then it goes blank.
Nvm I ended to do some crazy random button and pulling my usb and it turned on? o.o
Ok nevermind. It won't turn on again...
Bit of a random 1 but put it on charge for about a minute unplug remove battery replace battery charge for a minute again and repeat this process a few times then unplug hold power and camera or power and volume down. Odd but it worked for me.

I had either the same or a similar issue a few months ago. I think I fixed it by pulling the battery while it was still plugged into the charger. I'm not exactly sure what it was because I was just trying everything I could think of when I got it to work again. Might help, might not, but it might be worth a shot.

Battery stats

I'm on cleanROM 3.7 and everything so far is running GREAT. Recently I wiped the battery stats using Scott's tweaks, of course after a full charge and then unplugging for a full drain without charge, as with other battery calibrations on previous devices I've owned or used. After charging without break, I cannot reach a 100% charge, it stops at 99%. I am now not so sure about charging overnight as I suspect the battery/device might overheat since a 100% charge does not seem to be attainable. Anyone know about this issue?
Does the light go green?

You might want to take a gander at the following post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9777867
Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing)
That thread might be useful if it said anything about a 99% charge. Usually the little LED light turns from orange to yellow when it becomes fully charged at 100%. The light is staying orange and will not display 100%, only 99%.

Ok, so I turned my phone off last night before charging and I was able to attain the yellow LED light indication for a full charge but when I power on my device it boots up almost immediately. It skips the HTC screen and goes straight to my custom boot animation and then boots up. When the device boots up any other time I get the white HTC screen and everything like normal.

*Edit*
That's because you have fastboot checked in settings. Pull the battery, put it back in, then charge til green. If its any consolation though my battery does the same thing with the phone on it gets to 99 and hangs, but I've found that if I reboot it while on the charger it will turn green within about 10 minutes of being back on. Usually I don't worry about it being at 100% because when it actually is at 100% it goes back to 99% like 10 seconds after I unplug it. But to sum up, pull the battery b4 you charge and put it back in or uncheck fastboot then power off anand charge.

why pull the battery? why not simply uncehck fastboot??
I try not to ever pull my battery..
adb reboot if needed will work 99% of the time if you're by your computer.

Well I usually just hold the power button and push reboot if the phone needs rebooting. You probably know but you cant also hold power + volume up + volume down for about 5 seconds and it will also reboot itself. I was just trying to tell him the different ways to get the phone to completely turn off. That's why I suggested two different ways. But yes as Andy said, unchecking fastboot should be the easiest way.

Try a different charger/cable
Are you using the original cable? Most HTC phones will do that if the battery is completely dead, you have to let it charge with a charger that is the same or higher amperage than the one it came with. Once the light stops blinking, you should be good to turn it on.
When you say ended up dying, are you meaning it died once, or it died, you turned it back on to try and read a text or get a number till it died again, etc.
I'm asking for a valid reason not just picking on you. But Yeap make sure you're using the OEM stock HTC charger or another charger.
If that doesn't work try the computer. Whatever you do don't keep trying to turn it on until it actually starts charging.

I had this issue when I was softbricked. I hit the volume up button and it stayed on constant and charged so I could get to bootloader
