Its a evo 3d and it waas rooted when i bought it. i got a new samsung so i stopped using the 3d and like after 1 week it won't start now. its got a orange/red light that turn on and off with like 10 second intervals. and i tried a few chargers, and battery pulls and vol down + power button and nothing. i hooked it to the computer and doesn't recognize it what could be wrong with it
It takes a while for the battery to go from completely depleted to charged enough to power the phone.
If after 15 minutes of being connected to an AC outlet it doesn't stop the flashing, then maybe something else is happening.
This happened to the EVO 4G a lot. I've never let my phone get drained enough for this to happen, but it sounds familiar.
Leave the battery out overnight, then in the morning, put the battery back in and put it on the charger and leave it there. You'll be fine.

Everything was working fine...i know the battery is completely dead but like i said when i plug it in the charger the red light comes on for about 5 seconds then it goes off and wont come on again. He was gonna put a ROM on it and root it but i have to get it flashed to the metro network. He put it on mobilego i guess to backup my info but he had it on other programs, told me i needed it flashed first then gave it back to me.its been on the charger for about 2 hrs now and no charge still
Maybe he bricked it?

Did it boot yet? For me, if the battery dies, I have to pull it out, put it back and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before it starts up again.

Pull battery for a few put back in then charge it on a wall charger while its still off for 30mins...Mobilego is sync software so unless he actually went through the process of going into recovery etc etc then chances are its the battery

I would like to know if you can access recovery with the phone without a battery but with the charger on.
To access the boot menu, make sure the phone is off and press pwr + vol down. If you can access the recovery menu then there is still hope.

press the camera button + power button.
Sounds like battery issues... The phone thinks the battery is dead... Pull the battery out and leave it for about 20 mins or so, throw it back in, don't power it up and plug it in, let it sit for awhile(red led should stay lit) after like 20 mins turn it on

Had the same issue try plugging it into the charger for a couple mins remove the battery replace the battery plug it back in and repeat 6-7 times then hold power and volume buttons. If not leave the battery out for like an hour then try the first step. I know it sounds stupid but it worked for me. Hope it helps.

Here's what happened
I rooted, unlocked, and installed Fourth Bar Sense and Faux's Kernel 0.0.8 about a less than a month ago.
Installation is a success, no bugs, glitches, and everything runs smooth.
3 days ago I charged the phone to 100% and reset battery stats since I read a post claiming that it could boost my battery time.
Today the Amaze runs out completely out of battery.
Plug it up, LED turns orange and leave it to charge for 2 hours.
2 hours pass when I notice that the LED isn't on.
Get suspicious. Try to turn it on. Wont. Try to go into recovery mode (
It's volume down, and long hold power button down right?) Nothing.
Would be thankful if anyone could help out.
What recovery do u have installed? Its probably one of two things, either the recovery you have installed is the older one that does not support off charging, therefore since its dead you will have to find another phone to charge it with. Or 2, your battery is fried...

I have C.W.M 5.0.2.6.
I've had problems off charging it before.
That's going to be near impossible. No one I know has an amaze, evo, nor sensation.
Should I take it to Tmobile and see if they can do something? Perhaps exchange it for a new one? I have warranty.
Just try letting it charge longer. I had a similar problem and it took a few hours to charge enough to be able to turn on.

Well, it's been charging for about 8 hours now and still won't turn on.
Something similar happened to me, and after plugging it in, unplugging it, replugging it in, taking battery out, and doing that for a bit my phone eventually booted up. If no luck, go to a TMo store and tell them you need to borrow a battery or phone to charge your battery.

Help!
Had my Note a couple of months no problems. This morning I forgot to get it out of my bag to sit on the desk. When I remembered it had got very hot and had a blank screen. I now can't get it to turn on.
I have already:
- let it cool down and taken the battery out and put back.
- Pressed the power button for upto 30 seconds
- Pressed combinations of power+menu+vol up, power+menu for 10 seconds or more
- Tried the above with the SIM card removed
What can I do? Is my phone bricked? There is not sign of response, no vibration etc to indicate the phone is on.
did you try plugging it in? Maybe you fried the battery.

I agree, it may very well have lost its charge. Connect to charger and see if it works again. You may have to replace battery if it happens again.
That happened to me once, let the battery die out completely and couldn't turn it on... make sure you plug it in to the wall charger and not a computer or laptop, you'll be there for days trying to charge it.

For some reason, If my phone is powered down I can not turn it on while it's plugged in. Frickin weird, but who knows. So when my battery died this weekend I had to charge it for about 15 minutes, unplug, turn on, once I saw samsung on screen I plugged back in and was good to go. It just started doing that recently, no idea why. So yea, I would suggest charging that joker for a good 20 minutes, unplug, hold button (should vibrate once or thrice), and see if that helps. Batteries don't like heat and tend to lose a large bit of their capacity when hot (not perm). My laptop works for a good 3-4 hours under heavy use, but when I go to afghan it dropps to half that under comperable load, then back home it works well again. Batteries are a fickle thing.
So guys.... I woke up this morning and my phone was dead. Last night I plugged it in and it was charging normal (I used a new USB cable and not the one I am using a year now)... Anyway I woke up this morning and I pressed the power button and nothing came up.... I took off its battery and pressed the power button for a bit....then plugged the battery back in and the usb as well.... A dim red light came on....and then the usual charging light came on as well for 2-3 secs...and then it died.
I also tried to plug it on my computer....and the phone turned on and went to HTC white screen for 2 secs and then it turned off as well...
I am not sure what else can I do so if someone has any idea can you please enlighten me....because I am going nuts without my 3D!
The phone is s-off with clockwork recovery and cool ICS rom...and it was working perfectly.
PS: I noticed there are some red stripes on the battery...on the water indicator..is that okay?
That happened to me when my battery was severely drained, I needed a clip charger to charge the battery... Now I do not let my phone go off due to battery drain... Because it will happen again.. I believe that your battery is also degrading.... Just like mine. It is not also advisable that you use a different charger especially if the output power does not match. So don't let it go off again due to battery drain. Just my experience.

I am using that apple charger for like 4 years now on different HTC models...no problem at all... I think that new USB cable did the damage....the phone wasn't charging... and it drained the battery down...

yes please..... because its driving me nuts...that dim red light and the bright one for 2 secs is a kick in the head for me!!! hahaha btw its kinda odd that it tried to start on my computer USB??? it flashed the HTC screen for 2 secs !!
Just install 4EXT recovery as soon as your phone boots and you're good to go without the drain bug forever
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using xda app-developers app
One thing you can do now is really to charge with a clip charger. Unless you want to wait forever charging the battery in the phone. Because your priority is to make your phone boot. When you made your phone boot you can then charge normally.
well guys you are not going to believe it.... I plugged my phone in to its HTC charger and went downstairs to eat...in the mean time...I switched on my tabled GSM module (I have 2 sim cards with the same number...)...so i went upstairs again and called my number to see if my tablet will pick up the call..... and my phone suddenly started ringing! Anyway problem solved with patience!
Ok I couldnt find where I should post this, so if anyone can help me that would be great. I rooted my phone a few months back. I had to flash the ISO seprate. my phone is S/ON if it matters. So to start the story off, I have the MeanBean ROM and for some reason it was laggy here lately and was acting weird. I was talking to my friend last night when I fell asleep. I woke up thinking that my phone had died because it was low when i went to bed. I had zero issues when i went to bed, I plugged it into my charger and the orange light didnt even come on. I pressed the power button and it still didnt come on. my friend tried 3 different chargers and we determined it wasnt the charger. it was just fine, charged about 18% and i took it and plugged it into my car charger to use for a gps. I get to work and text my friend to tell her i would talk to her on lunch, leave and come back 3 hours later on break and it was dead.. I started my car and it came on and went to the home screen and it just shut off before i could do anything. I hit the power button and instantly the orange light was solid, no flashing. I held the power button and it got stuck in a boot loop just staying at the HTC screen. Right now, I cant get it to charge, load into HBOOT or even get it to turn on to the HTC screen. Any clue what i can do to fix my life line?
Almost sounds like your battery took a dump. I know we have a non-removable battery, but it seems like I remember reading about someone else having a similar problem some time ago, and that they were able to have the battery replaced, which fixed their issue. Try leaving it on a charger that you know for a fact works for 8 hours or so and see if it will take a charge. Otherwise, you might want to take it to Sprint and let them look at it.

I've seen this issue before and found this useful article when reading about this, I don't remember who got the issue but they said to follow this guide on how to calibrate your battery, hope it helps: http://www.pocketables.com/2010/08/...ry-and-possibly-double-your-battery-life.html
Good Luck!
not bricked
The term, "bricking" suggests that the damage, often a misconfiguration of essential on-board software, is so serious as to have rendered the device PERMANENTLY unusable.
Try holding volume up, down and power at the same time to try to boot it while it's on the charger
