ok, this a little weird...
i was using my phone today until the battery died. i put it on the charger (amber light appeared indicating charging). when i tried to turn my phone on, all i got was the initial HTC splash screen and then a blank screen. i tried multiple times, but i haven't been able to turn it on and have no idea wtf is wrong.
phone is rooted and running Revolution HD 1.1. i've never had problems before until today.
any suggestions or how i can fix this?

Unplug your phone and pull your battery.
Then plug it back in and let it charge until you see the green "fully charged' light.
Unplug it and try to turn it on.
Post back and let us know if anything's changed.
thanks i'm actually in the middle of trying that now. will update once fully charged.
Did you install a custom recovery, and if so what version? Xboarder fixed charging in 5.2.0 but not newer versions that I'm aware of. If that is the case then you will need to charge the battery enough to start the phone.

thanks to everyone who replied. quick update and additional details...
- i'm running ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0
when i plugged in the usb cable to charge, the phone initially had a blinking amber light for a couple seconds and then switches to a solid amber light.
i left it like this while i slept only to wake up to a phone with no charge light at all. if it was charging, it would've either stayed solid amber light or solid green (indicating full charge).
so what other options do i have...?
it's gonna b a boring train commute to work this morning...
ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 is the bugged recovery , you prob have a old version this happened to me as well , i needed a replacement from t-mobile .
Try This : Here
or
1) Install Android-SDK
2) Navigate to c:\program-files(x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
3) adb reboot bootloader
If it boot's into bootloader PM me & i'll give you furthur instruction
thanks for the suggestion Revolution, but i got it working...dunno how...maybe it was just dumb luck/chance.
when i got to work, i decided to try charging the phone again before heading over to the t-mobile store. connected to charger and showed solid amber light (no blinking light this time). after about 15 min on the charger, i was able to turn it on and had it boot into the home screen.
status shows that the battery is now charging. the Battery Calibration app initially showed 2%, but has slowly crept up to 5%.
btw - your sig shows "Project Nocturnal" for the Amaze 4G...where can i find more info about that rom? i googled and found it for the sidekick, but nothing else...

Glad it's working now.
It's not released and it's based on old firmware that had CIQ , i'll be working on a new version , for now try QuikSense : Here or BeastMod : Here and i'm glad your phone's working now .

waiting for xboarder to upload fixed camera and live wallpaper for QuikSense and Beastmod 2.0, but i'll be looking out for your rom in the future as well.
Kinda having the same problem...
I'm a noob...but, my phone did the same thing...after letting it charge all night, this is what I get:
Blank screen, the bottom icons light up and the computer can see the two "drives" of the phone but they are empty. I never see any flash screen or anything, but it does vibrate a couple times. Oh, and the battery light is solid green.
Any help ????
I sometimes have had the same problem but I noticed the phone is in clockmod and u have to use a flashlight to see the screen because it is all dark which would normally make u think the phone is off

Why does this do this?
I left it on charge over night last night, to my surprise - it hadn't charged...
I have read all over about this, but this is different...
I connected it again, and one blinking red light came up, not the triple you usually get if it's dead...
this is the only response, and is continuous.
it finally turned on, I checked the status after turning everything off and setting it to airplane mode. it was at 1%...
2 hours later it was still at 1%, and then after 10 minutes i checked and noticed it said 0%.. then died.
It's now still plugged in and is flashing one red light again.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi.
Have you taken the battery out?, if not do so for 10 seconds or more and pop it back in see what that does.
Happened to me once, no matter what I did it didn't charge do i took the phone to the service center, they messed with something on the upper side of the phone.. plugged it into the wall and booooooom ... started charging again..
When I asked him what he did, he told me " it just needs a little magic ! "

Have you tried a different battery?
I don't know if we can fix this problem but as other posts above have said that mobile shops could be able to fix it.
You could be able to send it to SE but if your phone has been rooted or debranded you void the warranty.
i had the same problem last night, the battery died and then when i plugged it in it came on to charge, and then off again. after that point just blinking red light.
i removed the battery for some time, plugged it back in, and left it on charge for a bit and it came on.
i think the problem is, that when it starts charging, it wants to turn the screen on, which takes more power than the charger can give. so it goes into a loop. and dies.
but leaving it on charge helps (it worked for me)
So I thought I'd calibrate my battery today... I completely drained it, powered it up like 10 times so it had no battery left. Then I took out the battery for one minute, inserted right back and plugged the phone to the wall charger. It has been charging for about 5 hours(I think more) and still the led hasn't turned green
When I touch the back of the phone it's warm so that means it's charging still... Is this normal when calibrating the battery or should I try starting it to check the battery condition and forget about calibrating? Thanks in advance.
edit: ok, I unplugged the charger cuz I have to go out... and the red led was still going... no wonder :/ So remove/reisnert battery, boot up android from nand. Battery 99% already I guess this calibration has pretty much failed right?
So no one knows anything about this? I tried to calibrate again last night... The red led again got stuck. What could be the cause of this? I reflashed radio recently so I don't think that's it.
Does anyone has any advice? I will try charging with power on, see if it will fully charge and if green led will turn on. And then again with power off without letting the battery be drained completely and see what happens. I hope nothing's wrong cuz I'd hate to have to return it
I also would like to know this.

Tried this aswell n the phone was on 99%. the voltage was also wrong when its 100% (4197, i beleive its ment to be around 42xx or 43xx). Tried deleting batterystat.bin from system but not sure i followed the right procedure after that (take bat out, charge, deplete, charge). a dedicated thread for this would be nice.
Did you try leaving the phone off and leaving it on charge until the LED changed to green. u may have to leave it over night. 15+ hours. Not sure if this works.
I tried it. The thing is the led wont turn green. When the phone is off and charging the led wont ever turn green and when I pull the cable out the red led doesn't turn off. It get stuck until I remove hte battery.
However when the phone is on and charging the led WILL turn green. I'm getting crazy over this. Can sb plz heeeeeelp?

You wont be able to do a calibration in NAND Android, which i'm guessing you are using, because i have the same problem.
The only way to properly charge the battery and get the green light is to wake up the device, plug the charger while the screen is on and leave it charging.
I got 50 hours +10% out of moderate use with one full charge - phone on, and i am happy. Same as WinMo ROM.
I haven't seen a solution for this one yet, but i hope someone is working on it.
oh, thanks so much for clearing this up. Yes I have nand android too. I'm not complaining about battery life, it's very good. I just did the battery calibration out of curiosity and bumped into this issue. Glad it's not hardware or battery related and I hope someone fixes it eventually.
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!
All,
I recently rooted my Rezound following the guide at (http://theunlockr.com/2012/08/24/how-to-root-the-htc-rezound-video/)
I had superuser app issues with the recovery image included with the instructions so I loaded Amon Ra 3.16 from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679) and the superuser app worked as it should. I kept the ROM stock.
Everything had been working fine but I did notice that my phone would be completely off at times when checking and I had to power it back up. Then today my phone rang but the screen was black and I could not answer. I pulled the battery and powered back up but it remained black. The phone went through its normal start up cycle from what I can tell because I felt a quick vibrate feedback upon power up. But again, nothing on the screen. I repeated this a couple of times even leaving the battery out for about 15 mins. Nothing.
Reading forums, it seemed like I was experiencing the same issues outlined here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679) regarding the clockworkmod charging issue. The symptoms of seeing the orange LED for a few moments after inserting battery and trying to start up is what I see. I followed the instructions but I could not get "adb devices" to show my Rezound. I went ahead and finished the procedure thinking maybe this would work anyway. But still nothing.
I tried to get into HBOOT but cannot access.
I'm stuck...any ideas??
Thanks for your help!!

Is your battery charged? Do you see the charging light when it is plugged in?

The battery was not fully charged when I first noticed the screen would not come on when I received a phone call. Probably 40%.
And yes, I do see a charging light when plugged in...though it only illuminates for about 5 seconds and then disappears and never re-appears unless I unplug/re-plug.
I left it plugged in all night without any luck.
Thanks!
Might have a bad battery or connection. I have a PSP that will shut off after 15 minutes on the fully charged battery. But not when it's plugged in. Maybe you could go to a Verizon store and see if they have a battery to test it. Or you could pick one up on Amazon for like 8 to 10 bucks.
I'm no expert by any means. But that's what I would try

Thanks! I ordered a battery and will see what happens.
Since I updated using the RUU from the HTC site about a month ago, I no longer get a green light to indicate charging is complete. When I unplug it from the charger, the red light stays on indefinitely. When I finally do turn on the phone, I have a full battery.
Any ideas?
How much time do you charge?
Oh and by the way, you know that 100% battery is only a myth ?
I understand that, but I'd at least like to see the green light come on when it's close as it is designed to do... and for the red light to go out when it's unplugged. I usually charge the phone when I get home from work and don't unplug it for about 12-15 hours.

Proably the RUU didn't managed to put the file correctly on the phone. Happens run it again, plug the USB Cable into a 2.0 port and don't even move it to the right or the left, it could affect data flow. Happened to me, ended up with a black screen, good thing mine was charged to a 100% before I run the RUU so I was still able to boot into fastboot.
