I was running mlk's ics release on my evo 3d. I had hboot 1.40 and s-off. I had no problems flashing the rom and I was using it with no problems.I have been using it since it was released. No issues. Yesterday, I just went to reboot the system through the advance power menu. The phone went dead immediately, mind you my phone is fully charged. I tried going into recovery using the usual vol down + power, phone doesnt respond. I plug in the usb cable and tried it again, no luck. So I tried pressing all the buttons (power, vol up, vol down and camera button) the phone flashes the htc screen then shuts off. That is the only response I get. When I use adb devices it lists this:
"HT16FHX07713 recovery"
I can get the phone to do the same thing as mentioned above when i do "adb reboot recovery", it just flashes the htc screen for less than a second then goes off while still showing that it is charging.
Can anyone shed some light on what I can do to fix this? If you need any info, let me know and I'll try to provide what I can. Thanks
I see that you tried adb reboot recovery but have you tried adb reboot bootloader?
Thanks, that was the only thing I didnt try. Tried it just now and the bootloader just loaded up. What should I do now? I'm kind of rusty and that its been awhile since I flashed/rooted an android phone.

Sorry for the late reply, got busy. I'm sure you've figured it out by now. If it were me, I'd just flash a pg86img of 4ext (let me know if you need it) and then flash a rom.
Yes please. I do need that. Thanks

No problem. Mine charges pretty slow also, but not 2 days.

Hi, im haveing my EVO View repaired by HTC and i need to know how to un-revolutionary, because i dont have usb connectivity (The charging port is not working)
Could somone help me? I need to get back to S-ON
Just hope they don't charge. I asked the same thing before I shipped it out. Luckily they just emailed me today saying it's fixed and said they are going to ship back. How did you damage the port?
I mistakenly tried to put the wrong side of the charger plug in.

That won't over write the hboot. You need to be able to push the hboot with adb from recovery. Really not sure if there is a way to do it without a USB connection. Maybe in a terminal emulatorwhile booted although I am not sure if trying to push an hboot while fully booted

Correct. And the only way to do this would be to somehow dd a stock HBOOT (I could provide one) over the revolutionary one, and reflash the stock ROM. It would go like this, but since your device isn't powered it's kinda useless:
1. Install the stock RUU on your device (extract the rom.zip from it, google extract rom.zip extract RUU) rename the rom.zip PG41IMG and place on sdcard >>> reboot into hboot.
2. After 2 complete passes, reboot into the system with the hboot of the RUU on the sd. DD it using Terminal Emulator (a command like this, don't actually run it: dd if=/hboot.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18)
3. Reboot into fast boot to confirm the stock restore.
4. ???
5. Profit
Now obviously the device will require power here and when I used this method I had to stop midway to charge, so even 40% battery isn't an option.
EDIT: If you can get some battery, just do HTC Unlock. Although it's a warranty void, I think HTC would provide support rather to the guy who used their tools instead of a third party one.
My 2 cents, but their 1950 special edition ones so don't lose em!
Oh yeah I just realized you could take your sdcard out and put it into the computer to put files on it, if you can even get it charged though :/

Okay. So your saying that since it can't boot I'm fine, the would HAVE to fix it because it disent have enough charge?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
I had the same problem back in December. My advice is to turn off your device and conserve as much battery power as you can until you figure out what to do, because once you run out, you're stuck. Unfortunately for me, I found out my port was broken when I plugged it in when I ran out of batteries. I sent it to HTC though, and within a couple weeks I had it back, with HC on it. If you do send it in, make sure to back everything up because they flashed mine.

Well if HTC fixes the port and charges it up and finds revolutionary, I doubt they would refuse to send it back. They've fixed it already.
there have been a couple of people who managed to charge their flyer by taking off the back plate and charging the battery directly. This would only fix a portion of your problem. In the end if you do not have usb connectivity I am not sure you can replace the Hboot. If the port is broken it really has nothing to do with being S Off. I can not see why it would impact the repairs, although I think you stand a decent chance of recieving an invoice.
I was trying to root my friends phone and I temp rooted it I was trying to use the Vodaphone guide to downgrade the hboot. The instructions were to flash a rom. Since I got root I clear the cache and other factory files. Now the phone wont even boot. It had been on the HTC screen for sometime. I took out the battery and now can't even turn the phone on. Any ideas?

Good morning,
just reboot into recovery, do a full wipe and try again.
This will happen from time to time with a bad flash.
If it continues to happen, I guess we will wait for someone elses opinion.
To reboot into recovery, I believe you have to hold the up or down volume while pressing the power on button at the same time. Have patience with it, sometimes you wont get it the first time.
The problem is that I can't even get the phone to turn on. I don't know what's wrong. I feel so bad. It still has s on. I don't know what to do.

Pull the battery, let out sit for a few minutes then try again. If that doesn't work, and you have sdk/adb set up on your computer, see if adb will recognize the device, if so..do

Hey everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read my thread.
So randomly yesterday my phone just turned blank and it started vibrating every 1 minute almost like its trying to boot up but the screen stays black. Its been on the charger and I am not getting any lights to pop up. I tried the 20second 30second and various other seconds of holding the power button but to no avail. I was wondering if anyone has any other solutions to this problem.
No insurance and the screen is cracked so they will not attempt a repair. They wont even touch the phone.
Im S-OFf with the old hboot and running CM10 from Kushdeck
The computer does not see the device either.
Thank you for your time.
I would reflash the ROM, and when you do be sure to clear Google Wallet settings, it sounds to me like you have a bad flash. What ROM are you using? I would go away from cm10 were I you, that ROM requires a different radio, that ROM is touchy, try a sense 4.0 Mean Rom for example, that will do it.

I understand u tried to hold the power button, did the capacity buttons on the bottom flash? I would try to hold down the power and the vol down button for thirty seconds... That way it does not try to boot to system, instead hopefully it will boot to ur bootloader...

Hi Cables. Thanks for replying.
I have tried the technique you have explained and I am getting nothing.
You could let the battery die, place it on the charger and wait about 5 minutes (led should be blinking when you first plug it in) then try to boot into boot loader

Nothing, if the phone becomes completely unresponsive then you have a brick. Sorry
Just something else to try, but pullout your sdcard and try the power button on volume down for as long as you can hold them. If you sdcard is corrupted it could prevent you from booting.

Bump... anyone get this issue fixed? I have an evolte that did the same thing. I had my phone give me a black screen. It would still sound for incoming calls and the buttons would light up, but no screen.
I've seen this before. Replacing the screen all together usually fixes the issue. Though it isn't 100%

My phone did the same thing today. I can't figure out if it's a software problem or a hardware problem. Anyone else know what could be causing it to randomly do a short vibrate about every minute and the screen will not turn on.
anyone find a solution for this i have the same problem but my screen is grey, ive tried restarting it like a million times it turns of but as soon as it turns back on it goes to grey screen
power button is stuck
just helped someone with the same symptoms on SG3
Has anyone found a fix for this...? My phone just started doing this very thing, I was playing SNESDroid and the last couple of the days the screen starting wiggin out, a couple of times it just froze and i had to do a hard reboot, this last time yesturday it froze I did a hard reset and it would not turn back on and all my symptoms are the same as the original poster. Only thing I havn't tried is letting the battery die, I just don't know when I would know that it's dead? Anyway any help would be appreciated!
I have two evos and the other got stuck at the HTC boot screen where it says quietly brilliant. I didn't notice it was stuck since I had walked away and it overheated severely. I held the power to turn it off but from that point on I couldn't turn it on at all.
Any suggestions? Is it a lost cause?

Try plugging it in and letting it sit a while, let it cool down first, maybe the battery needs to recover, heat can damage the battery

what om4 said, it might just have been a heat issue...the same thing happens if your computer over heats, it will reboot/shutdown on its own to cool itself down

Yeah, if you plug in your phone to a computer (Linux is a bit better for this) do you get a new device discovery in Windows? Do you have some COM devices or Modems in your Device Manager in Windows?
You might be in the emergency download mode. There can be hope.
