okay! so I have a S-on amaze 4g. Unlocked bootloader and have clock work recovery, Im also on tmobile. I was running Bulletproof's rom v2.5
so yesterday I was looking at some roms and I came accross mike 1986's android revolution ROM that was based on tmobile's sense 3.6 and android 4.0. I decided to ditch my current ROM and go for mike's ROM instead
Well last night I followed his instructions. Put the PH85IMG, Rom and Super wipe to my phone's SD card. I booted into bootloader and it loaded the PH85IMG but it didnt seem to have done anything so it loaded back to bootloader. I selected "Recovery" and booted into recovery. I deleted my files and cache using clockwork recovery. Then applied the Superwipe zip then installed the ROM. It said it installed the rom and then I proceeded to reboot my amaze 4g. Ok I rebooted my phone and it got stuck on the HTC screen for some quit time WITHOUT THE QUIETLY BRILLIANT. So i decided to redo this all over again. and again the same problem happened. stuck on the HTC logo. so I took out my batterys and went to bed since i wanted to get some shut eye
now this is where my problem comes from. When ever I turn on my phone it wont turn on! i wanted to boot into bootlader but when ever i press on the power button with the volume rocker down it wont start up. So i plug in my USB cable and the LED that indicates charging comes on. and my computer detects the phone... i click on the search capacitive button and the phone disconnects from my computer and it boots into the HTC screen and the screen turns blank
if anyone can help me please help.
come on 43 views and no help
Leave your phone in the charger overnight. See what happens in the morning.

Ok. First don't panic. Can you explain by "I clicked the capactive search button". Have you really try power it on without your computer?

i just noticed that my LED would blink when first charging then it boot into the HTC screen on its own then the screen would turn off or go blank. after that the LED wouldnt come on so i dont know if its still charging since the orange light isnt there
any more help it would be greatly appreciated
I tried the same rom yesterday and it failed for me also. I've seen quite a few fails on it. Mine didn't die like yours, mine just froze on the splash screen. I had to pull the battery and hboot and re install my recovery so I could restore my backup. Does anything happen if you pull the battery and try to get into bootloader?

i cant even get my phone to get into hboot when i press down on the power and volume buttons.
it did work yesterday after i failed... but when i woke up today i cant even get into hboot for some reason.
You might have to get an external charger to charge your battery, or if you know anyone to swap batteries with to charge yours and try theirs to see if it's just a dead battery. Sounds like it might be.
Download the latest RUU for your phone. You said the computer detects the device see if the RUU will see it as well. Hoping that it does just run it and it will flash your phone back to stock stock and you may have to unlock and install clockwork again but if it works you'll have a working phone again good luck chief

I believe the Rom u were trying to flash is for s-off only....I might be wrong though...

If i recall, you were supposed to lock the bootloader before you placed the PH85.img, because it wouldn't recognize the file without it on an S-On device. Also, where you using Xboarder's Clockwork recovery touch? or an older version?
Try this and tell me what happens. Change your phone by your computer USB and turn it on by search button and "HOLD THE DOWN VOL BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME" try it a couple of times.

I think it's a problem with the version of cwm installed, it won't charge the battery right if it dies all the way pull the battery then charge it for about 20 mins then battery pull again and charge for a minute or two and try and turn it on

WTF, so about 2 hours ago my evo just crapped out. Its S-off running Flex360s 1.72 rom. I was at the store and pulled out my phone, I hit the power button and nothing would happen. When I got home I noticed its stuck at the splash screen with no backlight. Held the power button till it restarted and it would vibrate and bootloop till it eventually get stuck at the splash screen. The whole time the backlight being off. It can go to bootloader but its like frozen and even then the backlight is still off. Too bad I cant pull the battery, also it will not just turn off
Time to plug in USB and run the latest RUU for Jewel?

Already tried. It basically told me to screw myself lol.
EDIT: OK I've had it connected to my computer for awhile trying to communicate through ADB. I have fail, & in another attempt to power it off, I held power down for like 3 mins straight. After releasing power it stayed off, and now I have a charging light!!! In a few I will attempt going into bootloader again

May sound like a dumb question but did you have it plugged into a car charger before going into the store?

You are not actually bricked since your device turns on and shows some responsiveness when doing so (i.e. bootloader) My phone is ACTUALLY BRICKED meaning it has no response of any type whatsoever. If you can successfully boot into bootloader then you'd want to select "fastboot" then run the Jewel RUU from your PC. You'll need all the necessary fastboot drivers installed beforehand.
Can't select anything in bootloader. Its unresponsive

bring it to best buy, you will get a loaner phone for 3 days and then get the new one. whats nice is there people at geek squad dont know how to check if the phone is even rooted, also you get the new one before the people get the broken one.
I just bought an HTC 3D evo off craigslist, the seller said that he loaded the wrong ROM into it, he had android 4.0, tried to upgrade to 4.1.
I don't know if it is rooted or not, doesn't turn on at all (nothing happens, light, vibration, etc), i tried removing-the-battery trick, didn't work. I just want to load a new ROM into it so i can get it working again..
How do i do that?
Thanks.
Does the small led come on when plugged into a charger? Have you tried to hold down the volume down button and power button down at the same time to access the bootloader, also please specify if your phone is gsm or cdma.
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!

the small led light does not turn on when pressing the power button (no signs of life at all!), i tried to reset (power button+volume down) it but nothing happens and it is a GSM phone.
Looks like your friend hoodwinked you bro. It sounds like he gave you a bricked phone. Unfortunately if your not able to access bootloader then its a paper weight now.

As I have said, you need to be able to boot into bootloader mode to flash firmware. Whoever sold you that phone didn't tell you he hard bricked the phone in the process. The hboot had to have gottened corrupted. That's why you can't turn it on.

Here's a tutorial that you might find useful in helping you set up adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751439.
Now do not take this the wrong way, you should listen to what I'm telling about your phone instead of ignoring me and trying to prove me wrong. Especially since I'm educating you on adb. I gave you that link so I dont have to explain how to set adb up. You have to be able to access bootloader, recovery or have phone completely on to run adb. In the end you will realize what I have told you. The person who sold it to you screwed you over. Your phone is completely bricked. Truly bricked. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm always open to learn new things.
I would definitely concur with Jsparta26, you unfortunately bought your phone from a unscrupulous, deceitful azz wipe.

I read your problem and read through the other suggestions, It does sound bricked but have you tried a different battery?, I had a battery one time that once it went completly dead the phone would not charge it, I had to charge it though an external charger, once it had some juice in it it would charge fine with the phone. All i am saying is make sure it is not something as simple as a bad battery before you decide to use it as a paperweight. If you do get it to turn on, let me know and I can help you get it working again.

Its like I said. Your hboot was corrupted. That's great you got your phone booted back up.
Now as for viper 3d there's no "best" ROM. Its a subjective topic so its basically not allowed. I can tell you its very stable, has lots of tweaks, and highly customizable. Only thing is that is doesn't have 4g or 3d. And it works on any hboot.

brick fixable
I had the same thing going on w/my phone. Problem was: the hboot was corrupted.. The only way to fix this is with linux.. I don't recall the exact files or command that I ran but if you search you will find them and it will bring your phone back to life.. NOTE: every thread i found had old information with older hboots which have different filenames.. Once you find the information on how to fix your hboot aka "brick" you simply need to get your exact hboot file and replace (flash) it through linux.. there is even an ubuntu cd you can download and boot into so that you don't have to install Linux.. I'd give you more info, but I'm at work right now and don't have time to research it. Good luck..!!

today i have a problem with my evo. i loss my phone in my car, and at night was frost, - 20 C.
half of day phone dosnt power on. my first opinion was that the battery died, but when i measured voltage, i see 3.75V, thats normal for X-Polimer Battery. after i Inserting the battery at her place, and press power button, phone turn on
i dont know, may be i had to remove the battery for a long time, or during this time dry condensate, after frost.
i cant really find much about this but i did read somewhere that one possible way to easily unbrick a hard brick phone (one that doesnt even turn on) is to open the phone up and remove a small battery that looks liike a wristwatch battery, and put it back in again. this will reset the bios and hopefully alloow you to turn on the phone again.
i own a bricked HTC amaze 4g and i tried doing this although it seems like that battery is soldered on. does anyone have any tips to easily detach this battery?
thanks,
Btw - that battery has in most of the cases just a single purpose - keeping RTC (Real Time Clock) running even when "the big" battery is discharged or removed so phone doesn't lose the track of time and date. Bricking a phone does usually involve damaging/erasing data from the persistent storage (flash memory), and no battery is used there.
What you're referring to is not so common with todays phones - smart or "dumb". Its mosly a computer phenomenon. The fact that the phone wont power on doesn't necessarily mean its hardbricked. As rbeavers suggested, its usually a case of corrupted or damaged data in system memory - probably the bootloader. You could try flashing a new bootloader.
Can you tell me how can I flash bootloader when phone is not booting up ??

Pull our battery.
Put battery back in.
Then out the back on.
Then hold volume down for a few seconds and keep it pressed.
Hold power button a few seconds after you've been holding volume down.
Tada you're in the bootloader.

You can flash anything you want even though the phone theoretically may not boot.
And you probably won't even be in that situation since you already did all the mods for the international amaze. So don't worry about it. It is very hard to completely brick a HTC phone.
I never heard of bootloaders being corrupted. Its hard to imagine that. If that happened I guess you can just use a RUU.

So recently my phone has had a hard time charging. I have to pull the cable a specific way for it to charge. So I called HTC and they said my port was loose like I thought. Anyway, they want me to send it in for repair. Should I unroot my phone first? I am running mean bean 3.09 now and I don't want them to get it and not fix it because it is rooted?

I have heard of people getting away with it both ways. If the phone is able to be turned off and on (meaning they can check for root) I would unroot and return everything to stock, but that's just my opinion.
I might just see about unrooting it before I send it in. I guess better safe than sorry. Thanks
