cause it isn't actually a fix, either unroot or live with clockwork recovery coming on when the phone is powered down.
for now anyway.
Try to enable "fastboot". This is how I got it to work for me.

This only started to happen when I got my extended battery. Go figure.
I was wondering if my phone is bricked. I installed Cyanogenmod nightly 17 after using all the previous nightlies without any mishaps, and it drained my battery to 0% and my phone died. Now when I am plugging it in to try and charge it, the phone won't turn on anymore. I have left it in the charger for about 2 hours already, and still no luck with with powering on the phone.
I have tried to make it to go into download mode by pressing the power and the up + down buttons. Nothing
I also tried doing that without the battery. It would just flash the screen then turn off then flash the screen again in a cycle.
Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to boot my phone up again.
Let it charge overnight and hope for the best.
It'd be very unlikely it's bricked. Possible, but unlikely. A number of not likely things would need to take place all around the same time.

So you would suggest leaving the battery in and charge overnight? because right now if I am doing that, the phone heats up
Some have reported it getting pretty hot while charging. Not that common, but does happen. Some have left the battery case off and pointed a fan at it.
You can also plug it into a computer. Usb ports charge at a lower power and shouldn't cause as much of a heat up.
Just make sure it doesn't get too hot. The phone likely won't get damaged but the battery can die at temperatures over 50 degrees celcius.

Take battery out and place it in freezer to cool off, phone too. Take out the freezer and put battery back in. Reboot. Should come right back on.

Ahh the things freezers can fix. Saved info from a few hard drives.

No problem. Your phone just over heated while shutting down. Happened to me before.

Hi all,
I've searched for an answer and couldn't find one.
My Galaxy turns itself off while charging and most of the time, I have to take the battery out to turn it on again.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

First, caused by AC charger or USB PC or both ?
Your firmware version and rooted, mods etc ?
Have you tried a factory reset ?
Different chargers and cables etc ?
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
Only by AC charger I think. I've only got the one which came in the box.
It's a standard phone, not rooted or anything.
I haven't tried a factory reset, will try that tomorrow if it does it again tonight

op says his turns off WHILE charging, so yours and his isn't doing the same thing.
Actually, mine is doing that too!
This morning, it turned itself off while charging, then when I turned it back on it froze, and then when I rebooted, it turned off again with the blue light flashing.
I'm also finding that the screen when waking up is very temperamental to unlock.
I'm getting fed up now!

Hardware failure maybe? (I think the main reason is the AC adaptor was broken or something).
Have you try with another USB AC adapter?

I think it might be something to do with wireless being on. Sounds stupid, but when I have wireless on, I get the screen freeze and the turn off while charging.
Going to try the rest of the evening with no wireless and see what happens
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Well, I tried the wireless off and charged and it was fine. No screen freeze or turn off during charging.
As soon as I turned it on this morning, screen froze when it went into sleep.
Luckily I I have unlimited data!

Have you bothered to Factory Reset ?
Sounds like WiFi drivers though.
Flash another kernel would must likely fix it.

Did anyone get to the bottom of this? I just received my replacement phone and sure enough, phone switches itself off when wifi enabled.
Then I saw the *#0011# trick to turn off wifi power save mode.
Hi,
No, I haven't got this sorted yet. Still does it with me and now my wifi and data keeps dropping out!
Going to send it back to 3 and let them fix it. My friend as one and his is fine

The thing i mentioned above your post works but not sure if that's the answer.
Hi again,
Well I rooting and putting a new ROM on and, though it didn't switch off while charging, it does still freeze when coming out of sleep.
So I'm getting there!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try to check the temp when charging, I read somewhere that if the phone overheats it will shutdown automatically. About the freezing issue, try to do a factory reset first, maybe some apps that you installed are causing that.
If still the same, maybe its a hardware issue.
Hi again,
Sorry to keep going on about this, but the problem has been solved!
Basically, the new firmware update has sorted the problem. No turning off while charging, no freezing when coming out of sleep - its perfect!

So I have a evo lte that has been unlocked. Flashed the custom viper rom... After 2 weeks, the phone started acting weird today. I booted into recovery to wipe dalvik and cache. Then the phone started going crazy. Rebooted a few times and now it's a brick. Can't turn on or charge. Tried hard reset and combination of buttons to boot into bootloader. Nothing works. Any idea?

Ahh okay, then my idea of just smashing it and getting a new one probably wouldn't help much.
Hopefully someone can come up with something useful. I hope it gets worked out for you.

hmm...
read somewhere that putting the phone in the freezer would work.
i left the phone in the freezer for 5 mins and it turned on... But after 1-2 mins it should shut off again and not allow me to boot. any help?
how long have you left it on the charger? are you using the 1A HTC charger or a different one? when mine has shut off due to low battery and i've tried to charge it at someone else's house using an old micro-USB charger it would take HOURS before it would even show the light and allow it to be turned on. the light would occasionally blink but that was it. turns out the charger was a 180mA charger... you said you're overseas, maybe it's a power issue.
myself and a few other members have had this issue! i wasnt rooted but i had the issue of it not turning on or charging. i took it to the sprint store and they gave me a band new evo. =p

Has nothing to do with the charger. I always charge with the oem charger.

Try letting the phone die completely..once dead plug into charger and see if it starts lighting up. If it does, attempt to boot into recovery. Best of luck!

Can't even turn on the phone. If I put it in the freezer for a few min, it would boot. Recovery says 75%charged. But it would shut off by itself after a minute

So recently I had the issues when I turned off my EVO and wanted to charge it the red light showed up and then just turned off.
It didn't charged at all and the only way to bring it back to life was with ADB.
After reading a lot topics and answers i concluded that this maybe could be a recovery issues ( installed was clockworkmod ) and I was right.
So I flashed 4EXT Recovery, turned the phone off and yay it was charging
My phone is S-OFF but I think it should work for S-ON too.
Please post back and hit thanks if it worked.

Yeah, 4ext works very well for our phones. I'd stay away from cwm or twrp.

I had an issue that when the battery drained to 0%, it wouldn't charge at all.
Only way to get it to charge was with the tablet charger which pumps out much more power.
I know it's not good for the phone/battery, but I would only charge it to like 5% so I could turn it on, then change to a regular charger.
