okay! so I have a S-on amaze 4g. Unlocked bootloader and have clock work recovery, Im also on tmobile. I was running Bulletproof's rom v2.5
so yesterday I was looking at some roms and I came accross mike 1986's android revolution ROM that was based on tmobile's sense 3.6 and android 4.0. I decided to ditch my current ROM and go for mike's ROM instead
Well last night I followed his instructions. Put the PH85IMG, Rom and Super wipe to my phone's SD card. I booted into bootloader and it loaded the PH85IMG but it didnt seem to have done anything so it loaded back to bootloader. I selected "Recovery" and booted into recovery. I deleted my files and cache using clockwork recovery. Then applied the Superwipe zip then installed the ROM. It said it installed the rom and then I proceeded to reboot my amaze 4g. Ok I rebooted my phone and it got stuck on the HTC screen for some quit time WITHOUT THE QUIETLY BRILLIANT. So i decided to redo this all over again. and again the same problem happened. stuck on the HTC logo. so I took out my batterys and went to bed since i wanted to get some shut eye
now this is where my problem comes from. When ever I turn on my phone it wont turn on! i wanted to boot into bootlader but when ever i press on the power button with the volume rocker down it wont start up. So i plug in my USB cable and the LED that indicates charging comes on. and my computer detects the phone... i click on the search capacitive button and the phone disconnects from my computer and it boots into the HTC screen and the screen turns blank
if anyone can help me please help.
come on 43 views and no help

any more help it would be greatly appreciated
I tried the same rom yesterday and it failed for me also. I've seen quite a few fails on it. Mine didn't die like yours, mine just froze on the splash screen. I had to pull the battery and hboot and re install my recovery so I could restore my backup. Does anything happen if you pull the battery and try to get into bootloader?

i cant even get my phone to get into hboot when i press down on the power and volume buttons.
it did work yesterday after i failed... but when i woke up today i cant even get into hboot for some reason.
You might have to get an external charger to charge your battery, or if you know anyone to swap batteries with to charge yours and try theirs to see if it's just a dead battery. Sounds like it might be.
Download the latest RUU for your phone. You said the computer detects the device see if the RUU will see it as well. Hoping that it does just run it and it will flash your phone back to stock stock and you may have to unlock and install clockwork again but if it works you'll have a working phone again good luck chief

I believe the Rom u were trying to flash is for s-off only....I might be wrong though...

If i recall, you were supposed to lock the bootloader before you placed the PH85.img, because it wouldn't recognize the file without it on an S-On device. Also, where you using Xboarder's Clockwork recovery touch? or an older version?
Try this and tell me what happens. Change your phone by your computer USB and turn it on by search button and "HOLD THE DOWN VOL BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME" try it a couple of times.

I think it's a problem with the version of cwm installed, it won't charge the battery right if it dies all the way pull the battery then charge it for about 20 mins then battery pull again and charge for a minute or two and try and turn it on

It's been a bad experience the past day and a half. I manage to successfully root my 3D but when I finally rebooted it kept bootlooping Everytime it managed to get to the hands free activation window. So after trying little things to fix it, I finally decided to back up and restore. When I restored and rebooted it just hung at the splash screen. Which basically meant there was no system data on it (thanx clockwork)<sarcasm. So I then decide to download a RUU from my girls hero (only internet available) but the downloads keep failing. By me being able to get into the bootloader I didnt make it a big deal and called it a night. When I awoke I saw that viperboy released a Rom so I downloaded on my girls hero, swapped the sd cards back and now it won't boot into the bootloader. I'm stuck and frustrated because it was just booting into hboot yesterday and I haven't touched it since then. So what do you guys think its a brick. Or can I do something to fix this.
if you can't get into hboot what does it do, fruit loops still? Maybe it gets far enough into the boot process that you can issue fastboot commands. I would try to make fastboot reboot into boot loader and flash the image via fastboot. Timing would likely be key to issue the command from your computer....and that is all predicated on fastboot being able to do what you have not--get into hboot.
Have you tried battery pull before trying to get into the bootloader?
EDIT: Yeah, I think it's fixable.

It gets as far as the splash screen because remember I stated that clockwork tweeked out and didn't properly backup my system. So I had to download a Rom from another phone to flash but now it won't boot into bootloader. When I try to charge after a battery pull the light goes on then off. Then if you look closely enough you could see a a very soft red led blinking when holding the power button down. It turns on and goes to the splash but it won't boot into bootloader. I mean if it was bricked it wouldn't even come on.

have you tried wiping everything?
also, my phone sometimes does that weird soft blinking thing....just hold the volume down and do not let that go....press the power button, if it doesn't turn on or does the blinking thing (which only happens to me when plugged in or shortly after unplugging) press the power again, and again.....never letting up on the volume-down. It took me a while to figure that one out and it definitely kept me out of the bootloader for the first couple days I have the phone.
Wow, thanks that work like a charm. Dude I thought it was all over. I was just about to smash the screen and pay a deductible.

No problem, glad to help.
Very hard to brick a device unless you are a complete moron and flash something not made for your phone.
I have a big problem !!! I had on my phone root s-off ROM Shooter Beats 1,7 and I flashed CWM 4.0.1.-shooteru via fastboot.
BUT when I was in fastboot USB I was thinking that I will try to have root with s-on on the screen on HBOOT. So I used command that I read in unroot section.
fastboot oem fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 and then reboot bootloader and my pfone is off and I cannot turn it on and dont know what to do :-( I am scared
you need to s-off your device again.using cmd
yes, I know, but I cannot turn on the phone.. I cannot do anything

What about warranty? If I cannot get to my phone, HTC cannot know if it doesnt work because of root, right? Do I have a chance?
What about a simple RUU? Just to try, and may it gives you s-on back and hboot and Kernel, so you maybe can boot into fastboot loader

I cannot turn my phone on, I cannot go to bootloader, I cannot do anything. But when there is battery there is little red light on and when I remove battery it goes off. It is not blinking it is just permanent weak red colour (it is hardly to see).
When I connect Evo 3D to laptop, there is a sound that something is through USB connected, but the drivers are not regognized (in system there is only something QHUSB_DLOAD)
I was trying cmd and fastboot reboot and it is waiting for device
I was trying adb restart and nothing..
when I try RUU, it cannot find my device

Did you have recovery? If you do, the problem you ran into might be an easy one.
1. Plug your phone to a power source (Long press the power button for few seconds and see if the light is on)
2. If the light is on, press the camera button (may be few times if first time doesn't work) and wait.
3. The first two steps should have already taken you into the boot screen. If it doesn't, then sorry.

Try to push camera, volume up+down and power Buttonand hold it down for a few seconds and see if the phone boots. Then plug in charger and charge it. So you can see if the battery was dead!
Thank you guys for advices but
1, I tried use RUU and as I said it doesnt find my device (there are not drivers anymore)
2, volume plus camera button and so on.. this problem I solved many times.. it was problem with CWM 5.0.2. but I have there 4.0.1. which has no battery bug.
My phone doesnt work and cannot go on.
I googled little bit and find out that people with Desire HD had the same issue and they sent it to service and got new phone. I hope it will be the same I love my phone so muuuuuuch..
I think the problem is that I would need to get drivers for my mobile to get sdk ready.. but :/

I know, I read through forum and find out that problem with QHUSB_DLOAD is always dead end. You cannot understand why people do that? I read a lot of topic where people have written that I tried to unroot their phone because of warranty and in finally step - whitesecure flag 3 - it bricked. They do it exactly how it was in "manual", so they have just bad luck.
I want to have s-on because my cable conector was wrong and I was afraid when I won´t connect my phone to computer, I cannot remove root and my quarantee will finished.. But I didnt flash stock Rom because I want to give it on sd card and when my usb cable won´t work, I could just reflash to stock ROM from my backup..
Right now my phone is in service..
so I was trying to update the RUU when i did that i put a coustom rom too .. my htc booted up perfectly but ever time i touch an app it would just start shut down the phone when i was try to fix problem by just Using the new RUU i couldnt get in to hboot or turn on my phone
OK first your phone is not a brick. A brick is just that, a brick. It doesn't turn on at all.
Next did you allow the RUU to run fully? Meaning did you allow it to update the hboot, reboot and then finish the update?
Sent from my VIZIO tablet using xda premium
Sounds like it only ran the first set of updates. Run the RUU again and it will update everything else.
it wont turn on i check the battery with my dad's htc rezound i was trying to get back to hboot but phone wont turn on any help pls

Continue to hold volume down until it hits the boot screen. You shouldn't have to hold it that long, but it won't hurt.

I was just about to say that.
not bricked
It doesn't sound like you are bricked, just that the RUU didn't fully take. First, take your removable SD card and connect it to your computer. If you don't have a microSD card reader on your computer, hit radio-shack or something and get a usb microSD card adapter, costs like $10 and is a life saver. Now backup everything on your SD card and then wipe the card clean and just put the RUU on, renamed to PH98IMG.zip. Make sure that you didn't make it PH98IMG.zip.zip or it won't work. Next put the SD card back into the phone, hopefully you still have it locked, and when you boot it, it should update properly. Remember that it has to flash twice, the first time it like only updates the bootloader and radios or something, the second time (after it reboots) it will completely flash the rest of the RUU.
I hope that helps.
Oh and one more important thing, after you flash the RUU and you are sure it is working properly, delete the PH98IMG.zip from your external SD card. You really don't want it there after the phone has flashed and everything is working properly.

Take the battery out and unplug it from the computer. Let it sit for a few minutes and chill out.
Then, put the battery back in and press volume down and power and keep holding until you see the screen turn on. Then you should be in hboot.
I had the SAME problem. I tried loading a rom that required the new RUU when I was on the outdated one. I simply downloaded the new RUU, renamed it, and went into HBOOT. I noticed that you need to run it 2 times, oddly enough. After that, I was golden.

im not trying to hijack your thread just looking for help alright here is where i start. I'm running the new leak, just flashed BAMF 2.0 a day or 2 ago. i have been updating roms regularly without a problem. i tried to flash Sebastian 1782 OC kernel. When i did i got a main ver error. I went into Sebastian thread and was reading where other people had problems with the main ver error and i did what was said to do to fix it. They said to open the android text file in the kernel and change the main ver to the same this i was running and to change the hboot to what i was running. So i did that. flashed into recovery and flashed the kernel. It flashes and then heres where i get a problem. It says reboot to bootloader to complete. The phone shuts down and thats it. It wont turn on. It wont do anything. i have pulled the battery and left it out for a few minutes and put it back in but nothing. I tried to charge it and the amber led wont even light up. What went wrong? I need help. This absolutely blows
You do no have it plugged in right the only time i had this problem when it was
Hi.
I recently got a refurbished Evo 3D after my old one's digitizer broke. About 2 days afterwards, I was being stupid and accidentally dropped my phone. The back popped off and the battery came out. Now it shows a dim red light whenever it should be charging (via usb cable into my computer) and refuses to even turn on. However, whenever I plug it in, it makes the sound that windows recognizes that a USB device is plugged in. Is this a sign of hope that I can fix my phone? Please give me any suggestions.
Things I have tried:
-Holding power down (with the volume buttons and camera button etc.)
-Trying to use the command: adb reboot bootloader
-Taking out batter and using a different one from another phone.
-Charging the original battery to full using the spare Evo 3D and then attempting the above.
Before I dropped it I did root the phone and stupidly attempted to install the wrong ROM (used CDMA instead of the other one, can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it's the one used in Rogers phones), but it didn't brick the phone or anything.
One more thing to note is that right after I dropped it and tried to boot it up it made it to the white HTC screen, then turned off.
Hopefully this is enough information, and thanks in advance for any help.
Check out the thread in the dev section about downgrading hboot 1.5 at some point in it, you purposefully brick it to a faint red light. Try to follow instructions from there.

Any other suggestions? I don't have a linux machine, and currently my ISP is not exactly cooperating with my internet connection, so it's extremely slow atm, and as a result will probably take too long to download.

Not to just repeat what others have said, but the dim red light truly sounds like what happens when the phone is bricked. If it is, you may be able to save it by following that thread when your ISP cooperates. It is strange though that dropping it would cause it to brick.
If he is on Rogers, he has a GSM phone & can't use the Hboot 1.50 cdma downgrade thread. There are 2 stickied downgrade threads in the Gsm section.

out of warranty ? =.=
just 2 days after returning
Here's what I would try
Here's what I would try:
1. Take battery out of phone and make sure, 100% sure, the phone is off.
2. Once the phone is 100% powered down pop the battery back in.
3. Now what I would do is hold down power + volume up until the phone comes to HBOOT.
4. If HBOOT doesn't come up, idk. If you have a working nandroid, I would restore from it. If you don't, just select fast boot, then select the option to start up normally (which I forget what it is called...).

I'm trying to brick my device so i can downgrade to 1.40. Everything is fine up until the point where i have to pull the battery out and run off AC power without battery. When i pull out the battery the phone stays on like it is supposed to, but when i press volume + button to start update the phone immediately turns off.
I relocked my device and am running this stock rom. If anyone can offer some advice it would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
Are you using the actual HTC charger that came with the phone? I've read here on XDA that the stock HTC charger puts out a little more power than normal chargers. Also, you can't use USB via your PC.

That shouldn't matter since we're dealing with just the bootloader. I'm not sure which guide you're using (if there's even more than one now) but here is the link I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547695

I know right! Never thought I'd be mad cause i couldn't brick my phone. Next time someone says they're scared about rooting cause they dont wanna break their phone, I'll tell them they couldn't do it if they tried.
I think I'm going to go back to HTC unlock. The only reason I decided to downgrade my phone in the first place was because i wanted to flash Newtoroot's rls3 and was not able to get it running without losing service. At this point I think I can get that rom to work on 1.50 before i can get this SOB to brick, much less get through the rest of this damn process. If not, I'll just go back to rls1, cause i had that version running perfectly (bugs listed in OP excluded).
Good luck to anyone who's trying to do this...may you have better luck than I did lol.
Sincerely,

I had this problem where my phone would turn off as well..I was using a stock htc charger that came with the E3d. What I did was hold my charger steady because if I moved it too much the charge would leave. No I didnt have a shortage in my charger but it just read like that in the laptop. Probably because being plugged into the laptop or cpu it doesnt feed off enough voltage. Hope this works for you.
