Hi,
Yesterday I'd tried to flash ICS into my EVO. Since the camera and 3D didn't work, I reflashed it with KingCobra 2.3 today morning. After reinstalling my Apps, I used tethering for 4 - 5 hours. After that my EVO does neither work, nor I can turn it on! Once I removed the battery and put it back in. I tried to recharge it, the LED blinked for 2 or 3 seconds long, and then it turned off again. So practically I can't access anything right now, not even the bootloader. Have somebody experienced the same like me? I'm looking for a solution. Thanks.
I hope i dont run into that problem, did you do a full wipe when you reflashed back? Did you make a nanroid back up??

in the forum about downgrading from hboot 1.5 to 1.4 it talks about what to do if your evo gets caught in this condition
Sounds like your recovery is cwm, charge battery in dock first then try and turn it on

Have you tried to push the power button + volume down + camera button.. See if it's work..

Problem solved as I tried to recharge the battery with my USB cable for 15-20 minutes. The problem is simple: Battery drained.
Nicely done.. Thanks for share, mate..

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.

Ok i'll try that bro! how easy is it to Unroot this phone????? just curious
Hi,
My Evo 3D was working fine, and then all of a sudden (no physical or moisture damage) it shut off and will not reboot.
Tried battery pull, tried several chargers. The LED goes red for about 2 seconds, then turns off, screen doesn't do anything.
If I unplug the phone, the LED stays red for a few seconds but is incredibly dim, then turns off.
The phone is rooted, but I am not running a custom rom at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

????????????
Do youve got a custom recovery?

Yes on my sd, but I can't get into bootloader.. sorry i'm quite new at this.
Same thing happened to mine. By the time I took it to Sprint, the red light wouldn't come on at all. You'll need a replacement.
Hello,
I had the same thing.
You must conncect the phone to pc than go to the dirctory where you have installed adb and try adb reboot boatloder
You will see that the phone waked up.
Thats what i did and works for me.
sorry for my bad englisch
Thanks! I appreciate the help
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
some other help? the same thing happened to me today, but i cant open the mobile folder in pc when i plug it... it is here though
i updated clockwork recovery via rom manager today.. so its related?
edit: i already tryed another batterry and it didnt helped but it seems it is working now again just like that...
you have CWM which does not let charge while off (your battery is probably dead) flash revolutionary recovery...the only stable recovery for the GSM E3D out
i have the exact same problem, i am running clockwork mod (rooted) and with a flat battery the light will only come on for a few secs then drop out again, I did finally get the thing to charge and the best explanation i can give is a bit vague im sorry but i was so frustrated and trying so many things at once, just keep it plugged in , I know the light wont be on but there must be a trickle of a charge, eventualy I was able to boot holding what I remember to be the power and the camera button, slowly it crawled back to life, first just the splash screen (45secs) then the touchkeys lit, then a full boot, I then hit the wifi off button the second the homescreen loaded and very quickly turned the screen off so as to minimise the battery usage as it would have been only just bootable... the orange light remained and after 10 mins or so i was game enough to pop the screen back on (3% charge after 10 mins so be careful) and confirm that all was not lost... the date and time remained in tact..
so you can boot/charge from flat, but only just and only if you stuff about and trick it into life. I know this info has more or less been covered before but I hope it helps somewhat.
*my nokia 5210 stayed charged for more than half a week... grumble grumble
ok,adb reboot boatloder helped me. thanks for sharing. i knew that cwm recovery has this problem but i just thought that i broke my phone....pff...stupid recovery.
Had the same problem. Take battery out, put it back, hold power button and connect charger. A splash screen should appear.
What custom recovery are you running.if its cwm well that may be the culprit I had the same problem if you can get it to boot I advise you to use 4ext recovery that's what I'm using as my custom recovery and it works perfect and I no longer have the issue's that your having you should look into it good luck

Also see if you can boot into Bootloader if you can then you can flash another custom recovery like revolutionary version of cwm that will get you going

I did this and voila my evo 3d is alive
thanks buddy
"keep it plugged in , I know the light wont be on but there must be a trickle of a charge, eventualy I was able to boot holding what I remember to be the power and the camera button"
This worked!
I'll try to make this short with as many details to avoid questions you guys may have.
I have an EVO 3D (GSM) from Rogers. About 2 weeks ago I rooted it with Revolutionary, got S-OFF and all that. I then installed LeeDroid and everything worked great.
A few days ago, I guess I didn't charge my phone, I woke up in the morning and my phone was off. I figured, I'll just charge it even while its off, and everything will be great! Nope.
I've tried every solution I could find, different usb cable and all that. From research I've done I think it's just the battery needs to be charged but I think CWM doesn't support charging while the phone is off. Yes I've tried to start bootloader and all that, but the phone will not boot. When I plug my phone in USB, I do see a red light for a few seconds, so I know there's life, but I just need to find a solution.
I read somewhere to just plug it into the computer and use revolutionary, but now when I do it, I get this message: i.imgur.com/mlnpv.png
I've tried various combinations of buttons, removing the battery, sim card, usb charge via computer and outlet, everything.
Please help me find a solution.
Thanks!

The easiest way is to find someone with a evo or sensation, put ure battery in, and charge the sucker. You are using the newest cwm, and thats the problem.
If u use the one in the gsm dev section, you wont have trouble charging while off...

Try plugging in the stock charger to the phone and then charge it from a wall power outlet. Let it sit for at least two hours and see if that helps.

From what I've seen this is the older version of CWM, 4.x, which has been reported to work. Seems to be issues with CWM 5.x on the latest hboot for the EVO 3D, at least from what users have reported.
Hope that helps clarify!
Ok, so here's the thing:
I had 3% battery left and turned my evo off.
When I tried turning it on again after I got home, It wouldn't do anything. So i pulled the battery and tried again. Went to bootscreen -> battery empty, shut down.
it's the known clockwordmod bug where you cant charge your phone when it's off (yeah, yeah I know...)
So went into fastboot quickly and flashed twrp recovery. Success. Or so I thought. Get the red charging led when plugged in, doesn't seem to charge though. When I tried turning it on after ~30min "charging". Again, battery empty: shut down.
Also, If I try to enter recovery now I just get the htc load screen for a few seconds and then it reboots.
Wtf? Any idea what happened here?
Of course this happens two days before I planned on going on vacation around california...sigh
EDIT: ok, I think I got extremely lucky here, after attempt 10 or so I got it to boot and it's now charging. Still have to look after the recovery thing though...
EDIT2: All good now, nevermind.

I agree with this guy. 4ext recovery provided little to know issues for me. I abandoned clockwork mod forever.
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!
