The market was acting a little flaky on my Evo3D, so I thought I'd reboot the phone. I recently flashed ViperROM RC 1.3, so now I get the option to "Hot Restart". Sure, why not I thought. So I choose the "Hot Restart" option. And my phone never came back on.
Tried every combination I could think of, pulled the battery, held the power button down for a minute, held volume down and the power button.. Nothing happens. No flickering of the screen, no lights, nothing.
If I plug it into AC, the charge light comes on red, stays red for a few seconds, turns green, then turns off. The battery was fully charged when I tried to reboot it.
If I plug it into a PC, and issue an "adb devices", I get the following:
D:\Downloads>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT16CHX00895 recovery
Recovery?!?
I can adb shell into the phone, and it looks like I have root (I get a "/ #" prompt).
I can push/pull from the phone.
I tried all combinations of adb reboot (with and without bootloader or recovery), and while it does reboot the phone (and the screen DOES flicker at this point), it just goes dark and again and appears to shut down (but adb devices still shows it as in recovery mode).
After about a minute, the phone appears to go to full sleep mode, and adb disconnects.
I've searched google and xda-developers, and can't find ANYTHING about this.
Anyone have ANY ideas???
Getting desperate here folks!

This happened to me as well. I dont really remember how I got phone to turn on but I did. Try pulling battery for longer duration. I do know that I pulled the battery. I will try and think more of what I did when it happened to me. So you cant get into the bootloader or recovery?

adb reboot usually works for me when i get stuck during hot restart... pull the battery and wait 10-15 seconds then press the power button for like 3 seconds, put the battery back in and see if that helps

Thanks for your assistance.
I pulled the battery, let it sit for about 2 minutes, held the power button down for 15 seconds, put the batter back in, hit the power button again for 5 seconds. Nothing.

Sometimes you'll need to hold the power button down for more than ten seconds, with the battery in of course.

I pulled the battery, let it sit for several minutes, put the battery back in, held down the volume down and the power button. Nothing
No, I can't get anything anything on the phone. Absolutely nothing happens when I hit the power button, no led's blink, the screen doesn't flicker, nothing.
ADB does appear to work. ADB REBOOT does make the phone reboot, and it does make the screen flicker, but then it just goes dead again.
Thanks for your help!

Try what the other poster said. When I read it I kind of remember holding the power button in for a little once I replaced the battery after the pull. I recall holding the power button for more than 5 sec, letting go then hit power again and it finally came on. If that doesnt work maybe you can pm the dev from viperrom and ask for help.

There was a thing where some people needed to pull their sdcard for some reason.... Once powered up without it you could shut down and restart and put it back and we're all good.... I needed to once, though the charge light never came on for me... Worth a shot

I have never used ADB before but could you push a PG86100 update zip if there was one on your sd card or does that have to be done through the bootloader?

Progress! Removing the sd card makes the
adb reboot bootloader
command work, so I can get into the bootloader now... but , if I select reboot, it goes back to doing the same thing.... and I select bootloader, and then recovery, it does the same thing.
Trying a bunch of other stuff, nothing's panning out yet.
Any ideas now that I can get into bootloader?
Thanks!

can you read anything on your sd card when you plug in the usb? I would guess not if you cant see the screen to choose storage instead of charge only. Sounds like somehow flashing a stock update.zip would get you going again, I just wouldnt know how to do it. Can you put your sd card in an adapter for pc to get the PG86100 image on it then place it back into your phone and run it from bootloader?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
do a battery pull and hold down the power for 10 seconds with the battery out, put the battery back in and hold volume up and press and hold power until it turns on
if that doesnt work, flash a new recovery through adb and see if it boots up

So, hboot works, adb works...does fastboot work?
Either way, I'd flash a recovery and a rom....I was also thinking maybe refresh hboot, but, if you are getting to the bootloader I don't think it's corrupted, but, maybe the other parts are....
I'd start with recovery and a rom...if no luck there flash another hboot on top. I'm a big fan of the eng hboot.
Problem solved!
It was the battery, somehow. When I got home from work, I swapped out the chinese knockoff battery with the original stock battery, hit the power button, and it started right up. Swapped out for the same knockoff battery, and it won't start again. WTF?
Anyway, thanks everyone for your suggestions, I appreciate it!

when the battery gets depleted completely you need to charge it a while for it to be able to start up again may be thats what happened...
This is something odd I haven't experienced with any Android device until now.
Whenever my Rezound battery is depleted to the point where the phone shuts down, I cannot get the device to boot back up again without ADB.
While it's powered off in this state and plugged into charger, it exhibits no charge LED or any other type of activity.
After pressing the power button, it appears to do nothing whatsoever.
If plugged into my laptop USB, the OS detects the device and loads the Debug mode drivers. ADB DEVICES shows the device as being in Recovery, and the device is still completely dark, no video, no backlight, no button lights.
At this point I can ADB SHELL and issue commands, but it can take up to a dozen REBOOT commands (although sometimes on the first or second try) to get the device to do anything other than reboot directly back to dark-screen recovery. I just keep running REBOOT until finally the white/green HTC image appears and the phone boots normally as if nothing was wrong.
Once booted, it behaves perfectly for as long as the battery doesn't die. I can reboot, HBOOT, power off and on, do a Clockwork backup... But, if i let the battery die, I have to ADB REBOOT until it decides to come back to life.
What do you think. Hardware or software issue? Try RUU?
Thanks!
there's definietley a huge problem wtih this phone. i had a guy bring in a phone that died overnight and the same thing happend...he'd plug it into the wall, for 5 seconds it would show orange charging LED, then just shut off..phone wouldn't power on, either. he had it plugged in charging for 3 hours though, and the phone was still dead.
when i switched batteries, teh phone would not go past the white HTC screen. it was just dead. we had to get him a replacement. i'm seriously afraid to shut off my phone now or even let it die. sigh.
Oh yea, mine does the not booting past white HTC screen occasionally between REBOOTs as well. I am disappointed with HTC now, my original AMOLED Incredible was totally rock solid for the 2 years I carried it along 40+ airplane rides to 11 different states. This Rezound craps the bed if you give it a dirty look
Everyone should take a look at this thread in the Vivid forum. People were havin problems with their phone booting into CWM when the battery was dead, me included. Our CWM was updated to support charging and now all is fine. Might be worth looking into.

Weird, just let my battery die before reading this thread, didn't experience this..
but def not going to let it die again!
So, I'm running Ognimnella's 3D Anorexia using Mac kernel, no tweaks, no overclock other than what the kernel is set as for stock, 1.56Ghz I believe. I checked; No water damage either. Last night I remapped my search key to recent apps, and this morning was looking for a way to re-implement the search key function somewhere else. So, I was looking for a way to remap the long press to no avail. Eventually i started looking around in the sys/usr files for something referencing the long press home button to bring up APP_SWITCH so i could remap that to SEARCH and didn't really find anything. However I found a file, I can't remember the name, I don't even know if it's relevant, where the camera button functions were located. I attempted to remap the "FOCUS" key to SEARCH and saved the text, and rebooted to apply changes, (possibly, I didn't even know if it was going to work).
However after leaving it sit for around 2-3 minutes while otherwise occupied, I came back expecting to find it booted up however it was still off. I attempted to turn the phone on, no cigar. Plugged it into my charger. No red light. Nothing. Tried to boot into bootloader. No beans. Tried to use ADB to "adb reboot-bootloader" and it says "no device found." And when I plug it into my computer a strange 3-beep comes through, kinda like when you normally connect a usb, but 3 fast beeps instead of two. I also downloaded the [UNBRICK] file from the sticky and Unknownforces all in one tool and tried em both out in Ubuntu. Neither one of their tools detects my phone after plugging it in. I've tried battery pulls, leaving the battery out for 20 minutes, leaving it on the charger for a half hour, trying to boot without the SD in, and even trying to press camera and volume.
Basically, am i SOL? Did I hard brick my phone, even though I wasn't even flashing anything? And finally, is there anything I could do?
did u use a cdma on gsm as far as the unbricking and do u have cdma or gsm? also were u using the room for a while or just flashed? what radios and hboot ?
Well, I'm CDMA and was hboot 1.5 juopunut S-OFF, had been for going on 3 months, and had flashed it about a day ago and everything was going fine. As to Radios, I couldn't tell you, I've never messed with that.

another possibility, are you using cwm 4.0.1.4 revolutionary or 4ext recovery? Those are the only 2 recoveries that support charging the phone while it is off.
If you can jump start your battery a little with a 9v and paperclip, might help you boot up to recovery. That or borrow a sensation owners battery to test.
How would i go about doing that?
By the way, I am using TWRP 2.2 and was at 97% when I restarted my phone, and it was early morning and I had just pulled it off the charger ~10 minutes before. Could it have been a bad charge?

oh, twrp should support off mode charge as well, soo hmmm.
The reset combo when phone freezes to just restart, not erase is volume up+down and power held together for 10 or so seconds.
Someone also said to hold camera button when plugging in, then try powering on.
No dice on either method. I'm pretty sure I'm sol, and am going to have to buy a cheapo phone off of eBay if I can't convince a Sprint rep to replace it. But I don't know. Thanks though! I aappreciate it.
Hey,
I have the same issue.
I have another HTC Evo 3d and can verify the battery is fully charged.
However when I put in my other Evo 3d it wont turn on.
Plugging in the cable to a charger does nothing and no LED ever comes on.
However my charger turns different colors when charging and the led turns from green to yellow when i plug the broken evo 3d in so something (current being drawn) is happening but the EVO and the LED just won't turn on. I unlocked the bootloader but the phone is still on Sprint Stock Rom.

Fried motherbooard. Happened to me
Today i decided to try out the nocturnal rom, but before that i had to make a backup. at the the time the phone was what i would a call luke warm so i paid no mind to it. so a few minutes later i look back at the phone and notice that the screen turned off annd the phone was now averagely hot
so i let it cool down for a bit (i thought that the phone must have shut itself off in order to make sure the internals wouldn't be damaged), then when i try to turn it on the lg logo does show up but never gets to the base roms nexus boot animation, now i'm thinking that TWRP must have drained my battery because when i usually make a backup my battery can go from 94% to 50% in a span of 7 minutes (only during backup). So i leave it to charge for 30 minutes 1 hour and then 5 hours but each time i check it still won't turn on correctly.
Now i have had this happen to me before, when i had the atrix 4g this happened and i had to buy a battery only charger to even get it to work again
but as we all know that won't work for the optimus g because you cannot take out the battery.
so i have to ask, what should i do? is there any way to fix this?
Side note: can't get into recovery (seems to shut off before it loads up, its like an infinite loop of dying and turning on again) the power button still glows while its connected giving the appearance of charging but it still never boots up all the way ( the most i can get it to is the part of recovery before going into TWRP. you know holding vol+ and seeing fastboot mode)
There is thread here someone made of disassembly. You can do a battery pull pretty easily. Never know might help.
Have you tried download mode at all BTW?
Sounds more like something was deleted then a batter problem to me. If download mode works you could try lgnpst back to stock.
The information in THIS thread might be able to help.
I can't vouch for it because I haven't experienced these problems, but the OP there seemed to get his problem fixed.
GL.
Although, looking things over, sounds like you have a different issue.
So you can get to the bootloader?
from the bootloader have you tried hitting the volume down key twice then hitting power?
That should reboot you into recovery, where you can restore something or flash stock.
Edit. Quote from FreeGee post.
To enter bootloader, hold volume UP and power.
Upon entering the bootloader, you will notice that there is no 'menu' to enter fastboot or recovery. Unfortunately, since the stars didn't align properly, we were unable to tell the new bootloader where to load the images that contain the menu from.
In light of that, you'll have to navigate the menu blind. Use the volume keys to change selection, and the power key to select.
The choices are (in order of pressing volume down):
Start - boot the phone normally [already selected]
Restart Bootloader - reboot into the bootloader
Recovery Mode - enter recovery (CWM)
Power Off - powers the phone off
So, to get to Recovery, you would press volume down twice then power.

when i try to get into TWRP it doesnt start up, same as when it trys to turn on, it seems to die before it boots fully or so to say the screen
goes from a backlit black to just black and then it doesn't come on again. (looking at thread and nothing has worked yet i'm now trying last advice in thread since my phone won't even turn on unless its connected to the charger)
also i have no idea what download mode is but since nothing seems to be working i will assume that does not work either
Edit: actually maybe i can lgnpst. all i have to do is be able to get into the bootloader right? going to try in the afternoon.

well the lgnpst did work but the battery still won't charge, so if i can't get a replacement i'll try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039707 and see if i can charge it.
now a different question...
does anyone know if i can exchange the phone at an att store if i bought it from amazon or would i have to go through amazon?
and exactly how does that work?

Amazon is actually VERY easy to deal with, and a HELL of a lot easier than AT&T. They'll ship you out a replacement, you send the old one back once you receive the new one. Done. You MAY have to send the old one first, but if you let them put a hold on a credit card, I believe they'll definitely ship first.
You may be able to fix this by holding down both the volume down and power buttons for at least 45 seconds after you plug in the phone.
so
STEP 1: PLUG IN PHONE
STEP 2: PRESS AND HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN AND POWER KEYS TOGETHER FOR AT LEAST 45 SECONDS
STEP 3: LEAVE PLUGGED IN FOR TEN MINUTES
STEP 4; BOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE, WIPE BATTERY STATS, WIPE CACHE, AND WIPE DALVIK, THEN REBOOT TO SYSTEM FROM WITHIN RECOVERY.
LAST PART IS TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.
I've gone the three of these for various reasons and some times lgnpst pretends to work and you need to do it again. And some times you need to wipe data boot back into download and do it again. This phone is retarded.
Hi!
I've been having a little trouble with my Motorola Photon 4G this past week. So far it wasn't that bad, but it got worse during the past couple days. I've had it for about 2 years, and have to wait until February to change it. (Note: it is not, nor has it ever been rooted)
It started by just freezing and restarting at random moments. Then I had to remove the battery to restart it when it froze, because the power button wouldn't respond. It started going on reboot loops, where it would freeze, I'd take out the battery, it'd restart, and go through the restart process over and over again until the battery died. I could still turn it on. After a couple days, the battery would drain extremely quickly, to the point where to actually be able to turn it on I'd have to remove the battery, plug the phone in until the "looking for battery" icon popped up, reinstall the battery, wait for it to charge, and then turn it on.
Now, no matter what I do, it will not turn on. If I plug it in a wall outlet, it
-With the battery installed --> LED turns green, nothing pops up, power button is not responsive
-Without the battery --> Nothing happens
If I plug it in the computer, the LED turns white, but the Dual Core screen doesn't pop up. When it rarely does, it freezes there.
I have tried the whole "hold power button and volume down" (Stuck in RSD mode or something like freezes on the screen), or "hold the power button and volume up" (Fastboot freezes on the screen), and the holding the two volume keys when the Dual Core screen pops up doesn't work either.
I can't get a new contract, since I am moving away in a couple months in another country, and an US phone would be useless.
Does anybody have a solution?

Try this:
1) Power down (if not already powered off);
2) Pull the battery out;
3) Plug power in *without* putting the battery in;
4) Boot the phone.
If it does not start, we'll have to go from there. If it does start, you need a new battery.

The light is green because it's powered and the battery doesn't need charging (not in the device). At least we have that.
Ok, this will sound stupid, but let's give it a shot:
1) unplug power;
2) remove battery (if not still removed);
3) Let it sit for a while (10 minutes would be overkill, but what the heck);
4) plug power in (not battery -- leave that out);
5) Press and hold the power and volume-down buttons for a good long time -- get a motorola screen?
If we don't get the motorola screen, could be a couple things -- screen dead? Or hardware prob (maybe the power button is dirty -- push good and hard just to be sure).

Okay because I'm just going to have to have everything literally spelled out for me. I wasn't exaggerating when I said I was a noob haha
As I thought, battery shot. Confuses many. So, an unbrick might not be necessary. The battery just won't even pull up the bootloader.
If you get the new battery, and you never rooted, thus didn't load the clockwork recovery hack, it should charge, and then boot might be ok. We will see, but until you see no boot at all, unbrick is the last resort since it's a slog and you're not overly experienced.
I can help, but the OP on the unbrick thread is a great help in most cases.

As I thought, battery shot. Confuses many. So, an ubrick might not be necessary. The battery just won't even pull up the bootloader.
If you get the new battery, and you never rooted, thus didn't load the clockwork recovery hack, it should charge, and then boot might be ok. We will see, but until you see no boot at all, until is the last resort since it's a slog abd you're not overly experienced.

Thanks. I ordered a new battery when it started happening, so it should be in soon

No worries -- your duty (of course) is hit the Thanks button when folks help and we get somewhere. I also fixed a couple typos in my reply (typed on a phone, and naturally ends up imperfect. Just didn't want you confused. One way or another, you can get the phone back up and running.

Not quite sure what you're saying, but the new battery the OP in this thread purchased should charge fine unless something is really wrong (never rooted so never loaded any charge-precluding mods).
If you are saying that on your phone, with a new battery, you still had to unbrick it because it wouldn't charge ... hmmmm ... seems very strange. Even the clockwork recovery mod would come up and then allow rebooting normally.
We'll see when the new battery comes. Hopefully no unbrick work required, just a charge.
what i am saying is that when the phone is bricked.. i mean bricked... nothing works what so ever except rsd... then thats it... it will not charge the battery. if you have a dead battery then dont expect it to charge while rsd. i needs power on the battery to allow RSD because the computer doesnt flash when the battery is dead and doesnt flash without the battery.
thus... he needs a changed battery. you could buy a seperate charger if you like... but it is much more expensive then buying a battery
Ok, I see what you're saying.
Yes, if truly bricked, it's an unbrick operation. Smells bricked, but I find it plausible the OP gets a battery with enough charge to try a boot. It is concerning we couldn't get booted on power without battery, though. That should have worked. Do it all the time working on kernel modules.
Just saying don't unbrick until trying out the new battery, the former of which the OP could do on power alone.
To qualify so no confusion -- I reboot into recovery mod without battery merely by plugin in -- so I can flash over modules. I've never been able to boot in to the OS normally without the battery in, but we still should see the moto logo.
