was running quicksense from about january dont know exactly which version.
phone completely died on me,
connected it to the charger and it turned on to the green "htc" logo,
but then it turns off..
so i tried booting to recover; holding volume down + power, with no luck.
tried it via connected to computer, no luck.
with & without batter still nothing..
weird thing is, SOMETIMES the charging light will keep blinking.
also SOMETIMES, the screen stays off, and the vibration feedback when pressing the home, menu, back, and search keys, virbates..
do i have the first bricked amaze or what?
--the search key "restarts the phone"
i can tell because the keys no longer make the phone vibrate when pressed after pressing the search key.
I'm betting my money on you having a earlier recovery installed that doesn't allow proper boot if the battery is dead... crappy part about that? it doesn't let the battery charge either... Find someone with an Amaze, or Sensation, charge your battery in their phone for 30 minutes, then try your phone again. Also, after your phone is charged, you probably want to reflash your recovery to a new one that doesn't exhibit this problem.
*just a wild guess, but it makes sense, it's happened to me*
*note, you could just have unrelated catastrophic hardware failure, lol*
As long as you have s - off you can't brick it.

S-Off isn't possible right now, S-On-Unlocked is safe. although having the recovery that doesn't support charging is like a temp-brick. You just need to charge your battery in another phone.
Or splice the battery directly to the wires for half an hour. That's how I charged when my charging port was the broked

Can you at least get into adb? You could try accessing it and then using adb to reboot into bootloader/recovery via "abd reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader"
Did this get resolved? Just wanted to know if my hunch was right.
It sounds like a dead battery. The blinking light means (from my experience) that its charging but not enough juice to use yet. Once my phone died and it blinked for a couple of minutes. I tried turning on, but battery wasn't juiced enough. After a few minutes, the light turned solid and was charging and had enough power to turn on.
I would try a new battery. Good news is you're not bricked, and most likely, not even soft bricked

i have the same issue i could get into hboot and recovery but i cant get passed bootload and i charge it for like an hour but it wont stop flashing what can i do is it the battery?
Amazing Brick
I've had a very similar issue to those mentioned here. I have the latest cwm recovery installed (five point something). After wiping battery stats my amaze went into a cycle of booting up normally then automatically restarting after about 30 seconds. Now it shows the amber light while charging, but will not boot at all, not even into recovery. adb says device not recognized, and the amber light flashes periodically and shuts off if i press the power button... should I trash this phone and get a galaxy s II ?

Charge it for 30-60 minutes. Unplug it and do a battery pull. Put battery back on and reboot your phone

HTC Amaze won't turn on
Hi guys.
I'm having problem with my HTC won't turn on at all. I tried swapping out the battery with the new one but still won't work. And of course I can't get into adb to do reboot thru that so now i'm stuck. I'm running out of option and trying to turn on the phone. Please help if you can
thanks

Does the phone charge when you plug it in?
Hi,
My vibrant will not turn on when on battery (NOTHING appears on the screen when power button pressed). When plugged in, the charging screen appears and it appears to be charging, but if I press the power button, nothing happens. I have tried holding volume up and down and power button, but this does nothing whether its plugged in and charging or its on battery.
Before this happened it was restarting over and over when I was trying to charge it.
So in conclusion the only screen I can get is the battery charging screen, that is it. This entire time I have been testing the sim card and sd card have been removed.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks
More info, did this happen after you flashed something? are you aquainted with Odin1.85, AIO toolbox is a great place to start. If I can help in any way i will.
This happened after normal use, it was actually after the battery died and I tried to charge it with a car charger, and then the phone just kept resetting over and over. It wouldnt get very far in the start up process. But I did not flash it. I am not familiar with any of that but I can give it a try.
Thanks

Have you tried a new battery? Sounds like your battery will not charge. Just for future reference, sometimes a car charger can damage your phone's battery, even completely kill it. When you press the gas pedal your car's battery charge fluctuates and can damage your phone that way, rare but it happens. Not to say that's the case here but it could also be a custom ROM. I was running a custom ROM called lithium volt and if the battery completely died the phone would not boot back up, even when plunged into a charger. Some roms a require certain amount of battery power to boot up.

Use odin to flash back to stock. Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028

Ok I used odin and I restored everything and my phone booted up like normal. But then while using the phone, I realize when I press the power button, it does nothing. It doesnt lock the phone, it doesnt shut down the phone, I get no response. So I think my problem before was simply the power button was not working. Has any one had this problem, can I fix it?

That's unfortunate, if you are comfortable soldering then you can just order a replacement button. Mobiletechvideos.com fixes that problem, they fix almost everything else too. Very trusted source so you can be sure to get what you paid for. If you can solder then buy a replacement part on ebay or you can go here http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-i9000-t959-t959v-power-button-repair/ and send your Vibrant t959 to mobile tech.

sgh-t959
i recently aquired a samsung vibrant sgh-t959. It had issue charging and i determined that it was the micro usb charge port. i messed with it a bit like i did before to get it to charge with no response as before but now when i try to turn the phone on it only shows the loading clocklike bars as if it were just plugged in to charge before it loads the charging bar when its turned off. any ideas on how to simply repair this at all? i know replacing the charge port would be one option but i have no idea on how to. maybe one of the contacts are touching another on the charge port?
I'm having kernel issues so I wanna reflash. The problem is that I cannot turn off the phone because as soon as I insert the battery the phone turns on so I can never get into flashmode. I cannot boot Android or get into recovery either to turn off the phone the normal way. Any other options other than waiting till the battery is dead?
Try leaving the battery out for 5 mins and see if it doesn't boot up this has happened to me a few times inserting battery not long after taking it out and the phone booted itself left the battery
Out for sometime and it didn't do it

Hello,
So last night I was using my optimus g, the notification that my battery was too low came up, and the phone shut off. After that I went to charge my phone and the usual red light did not come up around the power button and the phone will not charge. There is no water damage or sudden incident that could have caused this to happen. AT&T will not replace the phone due to a small scratch on the front of the screen done a couple months ago. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get my phone to charge and turn on again??
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
have you tried to hold the power button down for like 10 seconds? try a different plug outlet and plug it in and see what happens
If you can't get it working then send it in to LG since AT&T won't help you.
Have you tried a different charger? Tried usb charging? Somewhere in this forum are instructions for removing the back case and battery. Two others had similar problems and removing the battery helped.

Yeah, I tried a lot of different chargers, USB charging and different outlets. I will have to try to remove the battery i guess. AT&T told me that I could not have LG repair it because it has a small crack in the bottom left that I made a couple months prior to this happening. Do you know how to get to the thread about removing the battery? I cant seem to find it =/
Anyone have any other ideas?
Here's the thread for accessing the battery btw.

If that doesn't do the trick then replacing the damaged portion of the phone and then claiming warranty would probably work, especially since it's already bricked and you don't have to worry too hard about it not turning on again after you reassemble it because again, it's already bricked probably a whole lot cheaper than buying a new one off contract.

The only problem is that the crack is on the front class screen, and I have heard that the screen is hard to replace
Before you open it up and go fiddling around on the inside, try these (in order):
1. Hold down your power button for at least 15 seconds.
2. Plug in your charger
3. (If that doesn't work) Use a different outlet/adapter.
4. If all else fails, try the 15 second power button thing and then connect it to your computer.
My Nook Tablet's display wouldn't work once and it took me the better part of a week to figure out that holding the power button down for 10+ seconds manually turns it off (I was a noob). (I then plugged it into my computer instead of the charger and it powered on!) A lot of people forget to try the simple things first...

Ok, let me rephrase that. A new one is $450. You can get a screen/digitizer for ~$85. I'm not a math whiz but to me the difficulty is worth saving that much cash.
download mode
it could be a software problem try going into download mode (holding vol down and power then plugging it in at the same time) it may take a couple trys but if you can get into that then it could possibly be a software issue maybe its a prob with bootloader if it is try useing some teenybins somthing similar happened to me i unlocked the bootloader and everthing got better post back if you can get into download mode
I too have started having problems charging this phone when it goes all the way down which it does fast usually listing android operating system or my screen as the main culprit....try booting to bl then recovery and clearing cache and dalvic....I use twrp recovery and there no battery stat wipe function but in rom toolbox pro there is although the merits of such is questionable.....I also used a battery calibration app recently and it seemed to help... I've also had to plug it up and just leave it for a while whether it's convenient or not it works....???
I've wondered about awesome kernel cleaning script... As well as some of the battery saving apps in conjunction with Eco mode and power saver function.... I've used juice defender ultimate for a while and recently battery guru from Qualcomm and Antutu but same crash today leaving phone down 2 hours plus easily not to mention getting stuck in power save popup warning viscious cycle of popping up every keystroke is gonna get this device slammed up against a wall and I don't want to replace it but any help on this also appreciated....

I have this problem now, and can't get it to work. Anybody figure it out?
So there seems to be a desease of optimuses
My phone was charging while I was sleeping, and I accidentaly putted my hand on my phone while I was sleeping, and the phone was seriusly hot! I got up, upluged the phone from the charger, let it cooldown, plug it in on another charger, the phone responded in the first place, but the red flashing light was coming up really quickly. I switched it of and on and now it is showing me the battery that is shown when the device is charging. Been doing this charge for like an hour or more, with varius attempts to switch it on but it still it wont switch on! Any tips or anything? I am going to leave it charging for a coupe of hours and see if I have any results...
My phone started having issues where it would randomly shut off and sometimes holding power for approx 20 seconds or so would turn it back on or other button combinations sometimes requiring me to force download mode. I have always been able to force it back on however previously when plugged into a charger the notification light wouldn't do anything.
It shut off yesterday and I have tried every combination of buttons for at least 30 seconds, including trying to force download mode with volume up and down and USB into computer and nothing. The difference this time every time I plug it in the notification light either is solid or pulsing rapidly and will not turn on or go to download mode.
Phone is rooted running paulicats aosp and has been since I got the phone 3 months ago, it was dropped in water the week I got the phone but was disassembled and cleaned that day with no issues until this last week.
Any help or input is greatly appreciated

Was in the middle of installing a new rom today and was having some issues with the data on the Carbon ROM. Got that fixed and data came back and before I could reboot into bootloader the phone just shut off. There was over 50% battery still left when it happened. Now it will not turn back on. I've tried the normal vol down + power for at least a minute with nothing. I've also tried vol up + vol down + power also did not work. I've also tried all of that after removing the sim card. Literally nothing happens at all with anything I try. Is there another method to reboot that I don't know about? Am I bricked?

Sounds like a brick or hardware failure. Maybe try a jtag unless you have insurance and can get it replaced. Josh from mobile tech videos on YouTube is good and of it is a brick he can fix it for you.

This has happened to me twice now. I don't believe it has anything to do with the ROM. Verizon replaced both mine s-off and all. If your not getting a charge light they can't turn it on either.

I have also seen this issue resolved when someone disconnected the battery and then reconnected it. If your comfortable with opening the phone to do that it's worth a shot.
