The market was acting a little flaky on my Evo3D, so I thought I'd reboot the phone. I recently flashed ViperROM RC 1.3, so now I get the option to "Hot Restart". Sure, why not I thought. So I choose the "Hot Restart" option. And my phone never came back on.
Tried every combination I could think of, pulled the battery, held the power button down for a minute, held volume down and the power button.. Nothing happens. No flickering of the screen, no lights, nothing.
If I plug it into AC, the charge light comes on red, stays red for a few seconds, turns green, then turns off. The battery was fully charged when I tried to reboot it.
If I plug it into a PC, and issue an "adb devices", I get the following:
D:\Downloads>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT16CHX00895 recovery
Recovery?!?
I can adb shell into the phone, and it looks like I have root (I get a "/ #" prompt).
I can push/pull from the phone.
I tried all combinations of adb reboot (with and without bootloader or recovery), and while it does reboot the phone (and the screen DOES flicker at this point), it just goes dark and again and appears to shut down (but adb devices still shows it as in recovery mode).
After about a minute, the phone appears to go to full sleep mode, and adb disconnects.
I've searched google and xda-developers, and can't find ANYTHING about this.
Anyone have ANY ideas???
Getting desperate here folks!

This happened to me as well. I dont really remember how I got phone to turn on but I did. Try pulling battery for longer duration. I do know that I pulled the battery. I will try and think more of what I did when it happened to me. So you cant get into the bootloader or recovery?

adb reboot usually works for me when i get stuck during hot restart... pull the battery and wait 10-15 seconds then press the power button for like 3 seconds, put the battery back in and see if that helps

Thanks for your assistance.
I pulled the battery, let it sit for about 2 minutes, held the power button down for 15 seconds, put the batter back in, hit the power button again for 5 seconds. Nothing.

Sometimes you'll need to hold the power button down for more than ten seconds, with the battery in of course.

No, I can't get anything anything on the phone. Absolutely nothing happens when I hit the power button, no led's blink, the screen doesn't flicker, nothing.
ADB does appear to work. ADB REBOOT does make the phone reboot, and it does make the screen flicker, but then it just goes dead again.

Try what the other poster said. When I read it I kind of remember holding the power button in for a little once I replaced the battery after the pull. I recall holding the power button for more than 5 sec, letting go then hit power again and it finally came on. If that doesnt work maybe you can pm the dev from viperrom and ask for help.

There was a thing where some people needed to pull their sdcard for some reason.... Once powered up without it you could shut down and restart and put it back and we're all good.... I needed to once, though the charge light never came on for me... Worth a shot

I have never used ADB before but could you push a PG86100 update zip if there was one on your sd card or does that have to be done through the bootloader?

Progress! Removing the sd card makes the
adb reboot bootloader
command work, so I can get into the bootloader now... but , if I select reboot, it goes back to doing the same thing.... and I select bootloader, and then recovery, it does the same thing.
Trying a bunch of other stuff, nothing's panning out yet.
Any ideas now that I can get into bootloader?

can you read anything on your sd card when you plug in the usb? I would guess not if you cant see the screen to choose storage instead of charge only. Sounds like somehow flashing a stock update.zip would get you going again, I just wouldnt know how to do it. Can you put your sd card in an adapter for pc to get the PG86100 image on it then place it back into your phone and run it from bootloader?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
do a battery pull and hold down the power for 10 seconds with the battery out, put the battery back in and hold volume up and press and hold power until it turns on
if that doesnt work, flash a new recovery through adb and see if it boots up

So, hboot works, adb works...does fastboot work?
Either way, I'd flash a recovery and a rom....I was also thinking maybe refresh hboot, but, if you are getting to the bootloader I don't think it's corrupted, but, maybe the other parts are....
I'd start with recovery and a rom...if no luck there flash another hboot on top. I'm a big fan of the eng hboot.
Problem solved!
It was the battery, somehow. When I got home from work, I swapped out the chinese knockoff battery with the original stock battery, hit the power button, and it started right up. Swapped out for the same knockoff battery, and it won't start again. WTF?
Anyway, thanks everyone for your suggestions, I appreciate it!

Every once in a while this "download mode" comes up. I had left my phone in my room and it died while i went quickly to the neighbors. When I came back, I found my phone in this download mode. Ive seen it before and I get to it randomly. Any insight?
When you turn on your phone by holding the vol+/- and power with the USB plugged in, this is what shows up. So I'm guessing that's what's happening.. I'm not sure. Wait for an expert on the subject.

heres the thing. My phone was completely untouched and the charger was not plugged in. Its a totally different download mode.
So, I've seen this particular download mode come up when I go into download using the adb reboot download command. The volume up-down method brings up the download mode with the number of flashes and the other warnings. Not sure what the difference is.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Is it a stock ROM or you have any other ROMs and a custom kernel? AFAIK, The only way to enter download mode other than the physical key combination is to let the kernel know before it is rebooting - like 'adb reboot download' and using some custom options found in other ROMS..
Sorry, i have Serendipity 8 and kernel is Entropy. Ive experienced the same on UnNamed as well. Not a big deal. Its just a pain having to pull the battery because its a tad hard to remove it from the case.

I think you don't need to pull the battery out. Keep pressing the power button until the phone switches off. Again press the power button so that the phone boots again..
I tried that with no luck lol

This does work to reboot the phone without pulling the battery. You can also hold the power button until you see the first boot logo.
I have no problem rebooting from download mode by holding the power button. Usually takes about 10-15 seconds to work.

Here is what happened:
About 3 hours ago I replied to a text messages after it sent my screen shut off abruptly could not get it to turn back on. I have done a battery pull tried Vol rocker + power to boot into boot loader nothing seems to work. The phone has never been wet, dropped once about 3 months ago(doubt it is that). The power button works becuase if I put it on the charger the light comes on and when I hold the power button down it goes out and comes back on as if it is powering up but I have nothing. Is this anything a hard reset could fix and is that possible through adb seeing as I cannot power into anything?
Guess I am just looking for any tips or tricks if someone else has encountered a similar issue? Or do you think my screen just crapped out?
Might be a bad battery pimpin.
Try tyrning it on with cmd (adb)

pull the battery, restart the device with the power button.
if it is simply the screen, it should still vibrate when you fire it up, if it is not vibrating, it is not even turning on.
after that, possible the battery. pull it out and take a voltmeter to it.
after that, if nothing, i think you are pretty much f'd. the fact that it randomly shut off sounds like something was fried.
good luck

Hmm I am thinking it is the battery I left it on the charger overnight and when I tried to boot it this morning my splash screen appeared for about 5 secs and then it shut off again. I am traveling for work right now worst possible time for this to happen. I'll thow a meter on it when I get home to test that out if the battery is good I am assuming something fried and it is a lost cause.
Thanks for the tips everyone I will also try an ADB boot when I return home as well
Need some advice please
Any Flyer member who can advice me please?
Buyed a WIFI Flyer 16Gb Gingerbread stock no rooted turned on and suddenly turned off and got stuck in black screen (with some light in the back) vol down + power, nothing.
battery has 100% charge, but red led turned on and off ocasionally.
Any advice how to revive it would be greatly apreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Soft reset - Hold down power button only. Keep holding until tablet resets. You should know when this happens. You can't bring it up in bootloader/recovery (down vol. + power), until it's first actually turned off.
Does your PC recognize a device being plugged in when you connect

Just behind power button a green mini led is turned on now all the time, probs started when removed back to insert sd card.
Tooked off to make some tests but now still nothing...
If connecting to PC nothing happens...not detected...no asking for install drivers
Any other advice?

Take off back cover... Remove SD card... Try to reset again, power btn only, hold down 20 to 30 secs., don't use volume btn.

(doesn't make sense to me) A green led can't show unless the tablet is plugged into a power source and the battery actually is 100%...
If yours is a stock unit with a stock rom (and isn't defective), I would suspect a low battery condition that can't reset/reboot for lack of power...
Suggest you plug it into the wall and try the reset procedure again, and if still a failure, (maybe you can get some help from globatron or) call HTC.
...and then again, as I've read in other threads (that you've also seen), maybe all that's needed is a battery disconnect & reconnect. - Hope you get those pics, and if so... make it a last course of action, as you'll have no warranty if you do it.
Thanks.
Update:
I left computer connected to Flyer all night, and the day after it was turned off, then unplugged from PC and plugged it again, PC recognized the tablet and after that I ran the stock RUU, now it´s stuck on the process as it has been more than 20 minutes and progress bar in computer is at 100% with the following legend:
sending..........
updating the Rom image on your android phone
It is stuck there, how much should I wait? or if you recommend to do something else?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
UPDATE: RUU failed, says I have the wrong image, finished, exited and rebooted normally!
Now working, but I´m afraid to open the cover to insert my sd as the last time it was when it was turned off
Orb,
That sounds like it when into DL mode. On the flyer once you get out of DL mode it's normally fine after that. It seems to be random, mine did it once or twice, leedroid has seen it as have a few others.
After it boots again it goes back to normal.
Hi mate,
Thanks for your reply.
Very strange behavior. After all above mentioned I was able to use is perfect, even updated to OTA Honeycomb all went ok, installed some apps, etc.
Then decided it was time to test again to remove the cover and install my sd card, just in the minute I touched the back , not even finished of removing, and Flyer went screen off, now again I can´t turn it on. Could be a short circuit or something?
I will leave it connected to wall charger for the night and hopefully tomorrw will be able to turn it on again....
I swear never again to remove the back cover
PS: I checked battery level before all this and it was in 77%, now red led on power button is on...

That's weird, if it's not too much could you try and get a logcat (adb logcat) when its screen goes off while opening the cover. That should help us establish whether this is a HW problem(unique perhaps bad mainboard) or software problem (me,globatron,Lee, etc. experienced)
I can also confirm that it happened to me too couple of months back, but after soft reset it rebooted fine, but the backcover issue is new.

hello
Im orbs friend, my htc flyer still having the prob, everytime i touch the cover or pusih it by accident it goes back.
What I do is leaving it charging for awhile and press power button and vol down at the same time for around 30 sec for a couple of times and then it re start. Im guessing its not a software problem i dont find an explanation i even updated it to 2.3.4.
So I am now on hboot 1.40 s-off cdma Evo 3d... 2 weeks old, never dropped.
I have cwm touch recovery on my phone. Haven't had a problem with my phone since downgrading the hboot to 1.40.
Was running d3rp's rom and it was pretty amazing... decided to do the usual wipe(s) and flash Newt's RC2 of the Htc One S rom....
My battery wasn't charging and my 3D was bleeding battery life like a vag having it's time of the month, so I decided to wipe everything and flash a different rom. I booted into cwm, like usual, did the wipes and went to flash d3rps rom, kept saying error 1 and now damn thing won't power on and since everything was wiped It is ROM-less.
It's so weird, I can plug it & get a red light for about 2 seconds then it disappears. Never comes back on...nothing gets it to come on.
I have tried adb reboot bootloader, and the whole take the battery out, hold power for 10 seconds put the battery back in mess, but my computer and no computer recognizes the phone, so adb is out of the question.
-- I cannot boot into anything, it won't power on-- EXCEPT I CAN get the HTC screen (the bright one that blinds the sh*t of out of you!) but that's it. And it takes all kinds of work just to get to that screen.
Any suggestions? I'll try em all because there is no way the battery on this is dead if so I'd not get the HTC screen.
You cannot ruu it back to stock either because it has to be in fastboot mode in order to do that, I can't get into recovery so that's a fail as well.
Is there any way to use Odin or Heimdall to fix this; or anything else????
Odin and heimdall are for Samsung. You can try taking the battery out and holding power htton without the battery for a couple minutes. Then replace battery. Hold power both volumes and the camera button.

Your problem comes from cwm touch, it does not support off mode charging.
Are the adb drivers installed correctly? Have you ever had adb working before?
If you can, try holding volume down and power while plugged in, choose fastboot USB.
Let it charge, boot into Rom, download 4ext touch recovery which does not have any bugs, phone will charge while off.
Google + pertinent info = results
Yep all my drivers are installed correctly, it won't do anything whatsoever except give me the htc boot screen and that's it. Nothing more and to get it to do that requires all sort's of maneuvers such as the battery being pulled holding down the button, ya know the usual stuff.
I am certainly not new to this whatsoever and I am very familiar with adb nothing seems to recognize my phone and I never had a problem of charging my phone in any time since i've had cwm touch on my phone.
Any other suggestions.......Annnnything at all I'll give it a shot.
Can you get into the bootloader by doing the following?
- Pull out the battery
- Put the battery back in
- Hold the volume down button
- Hold down the power button while still continuing to hold down the volume down button
From there you should go str8 to the bootloader screen rather than the splash screen.
If you get to the bootloader screen, are you able to get into the recovery from the bootloader menu?
If not, if you have access to another battery (like from a buddy's phone or somethin'), I would prolly see if that makes any difference in terms of being able to charge for more than 2 seconds, etc. Perhaps maybe even try a different charging cable as well. That way you can completely rule out faulty battery and/or charging cable.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Well can you charge your battery in a different phone ?? Or via external charger?? Or if what I'm reading is true about cwm then I'd say pick up a spare battery or figure a way to charge your battery without it being in the phone. I mean it seems like your battery is just dead but your phone is ok. The few times you get a little power is from just letting the battey sit but its not enough to boot into anything. I'm just taking a shot here but that's what it seems like.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
alright heres what i did i connected my phone to the computer, put 3 kernels on the external sd card to flash later, i disconnnected it and my mom called, so i taled to her for 3 mins, hung up and killed all the running apps (hold home and just killed them) then held down power to reboot into recovery to flash them. phone turned off, and never turned back on.... i had 29% battery before i shut it off, i plug it into charge cause i thought maybe it was too dead and woulednt turn on, but it still wont boot. there not even the orange light on the front. its just dead. i pulled the battery and still nothing. just wont boot into anything or screen wont even turn on.....
WHAT DO I DO!?!?!
the kernels all came from well known DEV's which shouldent matter, because i never flashed any of them. i only just hit the power button and then hit boot into recovery.

HELP!!!!
Take the battery completely out, and plug the USB into your computer. Press the power and volume down buttons at the same time and hold until you see the white hboot screen. Go into recovery and go to "other". Put your battery in, wait a sec, and select "check battery level". That will tell you if it is dead.
