It staretd bootlooping randomly, so i pulled battery.
and now it doesnt want to turn on anymore. and no charging LED.
Is something else wrong? or is there a different way to turn it on?
Or is a RMA the onliest option?
could be a bad battery that just died
try pulling and inserting and seeing if there is a charge light.
Can you get into fastboot?
It happened to me the other day. I went into fastboot and did a factory reset and I was good to go.

If its not starting at all and you cant charge it then try and taking out the sd card and see if it starts or at least charges....I had a issue a little while back where my sd card fried out and did the same thing to my phone - wont turn on and no charge. While troubleshooting i figured out it was the sd card, replaced it and the phone came back to life...sorta...After that something internal involving the antenna must have been affected when the sd card went dead because my phone service was almost useless...Internet worked ok over wifi but making calls and texting and such became a hassle, constant dropped calls, undelivered texts and roaming just about all the time.....end result i returned the phone and got a new one...

Plug in your charger, hold the camera button and then the power button.
..or pkug in usb cable and “adb reboot“ or “adb reboot recovery“

So I plugged my rooted stock rezound into charge. It wouldn't turn on to my surprise. The orange led will come on for a few seconds when I plug it in but then shuts off. I can't get into hboot or recovery. Says error device not found in adb. Don't wanna return to verizon like that. I could use some help lol

Is the battery completely dead? And do you have clockworkMOD for recovery? If yes to both, it's CWM's problem. You need to get AmonRA flashed and your battery charged up.
If not.....

Battery was at 70 percent when I plugged it in so I doubt it. But I do have cwm. It won't boot plugged in with no battery either.

If your battery isn't completely dead, try this. Unplug it, pull the battery for a few seconds, put the battery back in (do not plug the phone back in), and attempt to power it on. Once it starts to boot, feel free to plug it back in. I had this happen to me once when I was screwing around with recoveries.

Got it. Turns out the extended battery I swapped in was dead. The regular one in the phone is now a paper weight. I put my girls thunderbolt battery in and it booted so I charged my extended battery

verizon had external chargers for the rezound for 5 bucks a while back, they still might or amazon or ebay have them cheap as well.
I would stay away from CWM since it is causing so many charging problems. Why do people use this recovery on the Rezound when it clearly is buggy.
I accidently installed cwm on my phone with Rom manager and let it die. Obviously it wouldn't charge up because i was using cwm. So I popped in the extended battery and installed amon ra 3.15 with Scotts cleanflash tool. The dead battery still won't charge. How do I fix it?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
have you tried turning your phone off then putting in the dead battery. place it on the charger while the phone is still off and try to charge it. enable/disable fast boot may help also.
when testing cwm a few months back I ran into the same issue, but it was solved by switching to amon ra and charging the dead battery once in a standalone charger.
***EDIT: I just came across this thread when doing a search:

Thanks. Im still toying with it but so far all I get is a flicker of the orange light after I hit the power button. Will try with fast boot enabled.

excerpt from another post:
"I had this happen for the first time today. Phone wouldn't start,battery wouldn't charge. My fix.... Open command prompt. Plug phone in to computer. Type " adb reboot recovery" when recovery opens the battery starts charging. Push reboot and Pooooof! A charging phone!"
If it comes down to it, just take the battery into VZ and get a defect replacement.

I did something similar to this. Reboot phone to bootloader while plugged in, then swap to the dead battery then rebooted. Then I let it charge to about 40% before I had to take it off. It died a while ago and the charging problem persists.

try the recovery method with the battery in question, meaning: don't use the extended. just throw the the phone onto usb with the dead battery and try adb recovery.
hopefully you can save yourself a trip to VZ.

Welp I just tried the adb reboot recovery and I am still getting the flashing light.
Will try again.
When this happened to me I had to keep plugging and unplugging the charging cable while holding the power button to get it to turn on. It's worth a try!
I did what others did n plugged into computer n booted to bootloader/ect
My rezound died this week end and wouldnt charge. Took it the VZ store and found out they no longer had in-store tech support. Anyway, the in store person concluded the charge port somehow wouldnt take a charge. Ended up calling tech support for a replacement. Should be here by Tues
Well I figured it out. I just got home to try again and I looked at the cmd window. It turns out I only typed "adv reboot recover" so yea my bad . Worked like a charm!

awesome man. glad you got it working.
I went ahead and took the battery out, when I went to insert it back in to turn it back on, it won't. It just stays off. The battery still had a charge but I ended up plugging it to the charger. The light indication that comes on when charging does not come on. It gets warm but thats about it.
Is my phone completely dead? Only had it since December.

Did you have CWM 5.0.2.6 installed? If so, it does not let you charge it when it is off. You need someone that has an Amaze or Sensation to use their battery, buy the 4EXT app from the Play Store. Flash it and then you wont have to worry about it.
Now time to sleep.

I got it working, figured out the issue. One of the power pins that makes contact with the battery will not fully extend out. You think that would be covered under warranty? Alternatively I could call assurian and say the phone is broken but I would have to pay 100 bucks though.
I have 5.0.2.6 CWM, and I did buy EXT a few weeks ago but anything newer then the 5.0.2.6 or EXT4 and I can not mount my SD card for whatever reason. I tried asking around here but I never get an answer as to why this is.

NO, I meant that I can't mount SD in EXT4, it only mounts internal for whatever reason.
The problem is NOT THE BATTERY, its the pins that's on the phone itself that makes contact with the battery.
Stupid phone won't even turn on anymore. Turned on once briefly and then off and that was it.

HORRIBLE TIMING! I am leaving for texas on Wed, would take atleast 3 weeks for me to get my phone back.
I left it alone for a few hours, now when I plug in the power cord, the orange light just blinks.
Any idea what that means?
I wonder if I can get a loner from a tmobil store. I really need this phone ;/
Just a silly question...
Are you using the cord that came with the Amaze or are you using a 5pin micro USB cord? The Amaze came with a 12pin.. like I said just a silly question.

Other cords wouldn't fit, so not really a relevant question, the question is, what the hell did he do that's causing that, could always get someone else with the device to charge the battery and yes I suggest going to your tmo store and tell them about your problem, they should be able to replace or give you a loaner device once you have insurance or still under warranty.
You said you have cwm 5.0.2.6. That is your problem. That version doesn't allow you to charge it if your phone is off. If your battery is dead, you need to charge it with someone else's phone or use their battery and flash a different recovery.

I remember seeing my battery still having a charge, although I guess I could be remembering wrong. I am going to charge the battery itself using an adapter that came with the Anker battery. I will charge the stock just to be safe and see what happens.
I use the original stock charger to charge my phone and use the adapter to charge my extra batteries. If what you say is true about 5.0.2.6, then I will charge the batteries externally (I haven't charged them in a while) and once the adapter has indicated that it has full battery I will place it back in the phone and see if it turns on.

I feel silly! I charged the battery externally and plugged it in my phone and it worked flawlessly! You sir are awesome!!!
I had no IDEA that 5.0.2.6 could not charge if it was completely drained.
OKAY since you know about this issue, is there a way for me to fix the issue where my EXTERNAL SD card is not being read when I have EXT4 or a newer version of CWM (touch and non touch)? It will read the internal one for whatever reason.

When you choose install from sd card, you'll see in that folder there is a folder name ext-sd, hit that and you'll be on your external sd card. The newer recoveries read the sd card the same way the android OS does now.
Your not understanding what I am saying. There is no way to mount the external sd card. If your unable to mount the ext sd card that folder you mention will not take you to the ext sd card. Only way I can mount the ext sd card is if I use cmw 5.0.2.6. Nothing else works. Newer cmw mounts internal sd and so does ext4 but will not detect ext sd card.

Read back my post on how to get to the external sd card, the sd is mounted and right there, accessing it is just done differently, choose install zip from sd card, when the internal card shows look for the ext_sd folder and open it, once it opens, YOU ARE ON THE EXTERNAL SD CARD. Understand?
Yes I understand, tried it again for the sake of argument, I loaded ext4, went into ext sd folder, and all it does it seems to just blinks out as if its going inside the ext sd folder and then nothing, it just shows the contents of the internal SD. Weird. This started happening after I S-Off. I did not have this problem before.
Also, my phone ended up shutting down again. I was on for 10+ hours with and it did not give me any indication that the battery was low. I went ahead and charged the battery externally for a few minutes and inserted it back into my phone. It turned on showing only 4% battery. I then charged it with my htc charger. I woke up this morning to find that it got really warm and but working fine.
Another thing to note, I fully charged my Anker battery externally using wall adapter, when I plugged it in to my phone, it would not turn on. I inserted the HTC battery (with barely a charge) back in and it turned right on.
What do you guys make of that? Bad battery?

Possibly, go into 4EXT, wipe battery stats, full charge the battery then wipe it again, flash a stock ruu via hboot and do a check, see if the problem persist.

Cool, try the stock, clean up thing, let's hope that wipes away the problem.
So yea phone wont boot or charge or do anything. No a single screen will turn on i press the power button and it just stays the way it is dead. Im pretty convinced that i bricked it since i cant get to anything. All i was doing was making a backup and then when i went to flash the zip file it said no sdcard. So i did what i always do with this error bull the battery take out sdcard put it back in and go back to recovery to try again. Except this time it wont power back on into anything. Is there any hope for me?

It probably isn't dead. I have heard this happening before and leaving it without the battery or USB connection for several hours fixed it.

Same concept as with computers I assume. By leaving it disconnected it allows all the capacitors to drain which means anything funky going on with the phone should "reset"
