[Q] My EVO LTE won't turn on, won't charge. Unresponsive - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I didn't do anything out of the ordinary...?
I wiped everything, reflashed a ROM, nothing new.
The only thing I did out of the ordinary was tried to wipe internal storage because it is getting too messy, and anything I care about is on the external storage. It fails when trying to wipe it, so I went to unmount internal storage. I rebooted to take out my sad card just to be safe. When I went to turn it back on, nothing.
Not even an orange light to show it is charging.
Any ideas?
Never had something this close to bricking happen.
I don't think I did anything damaging...?

I guess my question is, does bricking include an unresponsive battery?
Any ideas as to why the battery isnt even charging?

Can you get into recovery?

Not unresponsive battery per se but the hardware related to charging could be unresponsive

Yeah unfortunately or does mine bricked the other day man lol had to rake it to a sprint repair store and got a new one the next day

Sure sounds like its bricked. I really don't think you have any choice except spring replacement. I recently bricked mine and I couldn't find any tools or tricks to help.
Good luck man

If you flashed a new Rom based on the latest ota on old firmware you won't boot because of the kernel. Try holding power volume down to get into bootloader and from there recovery

[Q] Bricked Thunderbolt? :(

This time I have really f***ed up guys. I really think this time I have actually bricked my Thunderbolt. I was on Bamf Remix 1.63 I believe and everything was running great. I was obviously rooted also. I was bored and decided to flash Protekks Battery Sipper Kernel. Right after I flashed it, the phone would not boot. I pulled the battery and booted up again and it got stuck in a boot loop. So after a few tries I finally got it to boot into the bootloader. I got into recovery and tried to flash a backup and it rebooted in the middle of restoring it. I tried that a few more times. I then let the battery die. Then I charged it up a lot and tried to power it on and got nothing. The screen will not even turn on. When plugged into my computer it sometimes vibrates and my computer detects it and then my computer makes the sound like it was disconnected. I think it is still stuck in the boot loop with the screen off though. BTW the charging light does light up when plugged in. I tried the stock and extended battery to make sure it was not a battery problem. I finally called up Verizon and after I told them it would not turn on he said he is shipping me a free replacement. I told them that after a OTA update the phone would not boot. He warned me that if there is any evidence that the phone was rooted or hacked, I would be charged the retail price for the phone. That is really the only thing I am scared of. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Sorry for the long post, I wanted to get in all the details that I could.
Thanks
Adam

Wtf? This isn't Samsung. OP do you bootloop in bootloader? I recommend you go to the irc and give them any info you can.. you will probably end up flashing a stock ruu through the bootloader but first go to irc.

Thanks for the quick reply! How would I get into download mode. And I was on froyo before.. Shouldn't I download a froyo based rom?
Yeah I did not think we have Odin for HTC phones, and I already have the stock zip file on my MicroSD card but my screen will not turn on at all. I can not get into anything. Any advice?

OK thanks for the replies. Do you think the Verizon warranty center people will actually go to the trouble of getting it to work and then charge me full retail for a new one if they see it is rooted. I already have the stock zip on the SD card so when it does boot up, it will return everything to stock. I have read online that some people have been charged retail because there phones have been rooted but most of them have gotten away with with it..

I think you're almost certainly fine. It's a lot of work and time for big red over one phone. Plus, your etf is less expensive than a replacement device
Sent from my Thunderbolt using XDA Premium App
thanks for the response man. etf= early termination fee? I might not have said in my original post but they are sending me a free replacement device. The rep on the phone specifically said that if they find my phone to be rooted or hacked, that I will be charged around 629$ for the refurb replacement. I really cannot afford that (
Call back and tell em you accidentally dropped it out of moving vehicle and that it was run over 5 times...and that it was raining outside. Then pay your deductible.

I got out of a bootloop on my friend's Insipre 4G (which is very similar to the TB) by mounting the microSD on my computer, and then putting a stock ROM on it. I had to rename the stock ROM PG98IMG (PG05IMG on Thunderbolt), and flash it through the bootloader, but it did work.
Thanks for the post man but the Thunderbolt does not show any signs of life at all besides the flashing orange LED at the top blinking and the computer detecting it on and off every 5 minutes. The stock zip is already on the SD card so when it finally boots up it will flash and hopefully Verizon won't charge me out the @ss for a replacement.
powered on! for a second...
UPDATE: I just had it hooked up to my laptop and it booted on the the white HTC screen and I almost had a heart attaack :O but then it powered off and wont come back on. FML

how long have you had your phone and what hardware revision was it? did you try to run the RUU yet?
i think some people just got a batch of faulty phones because this doesn't seem to affect many.
I highly doubt verizon is going to receive your broken phone and boot it up and it will magically work. The only way it will auto-update is if they boot it into HBOOT. If they somehow just power it on it won't automatically apply anything. Keep that in mind. But I really wouldn't worry too much about it. If they charge you call them and tell them wtf I wasn't rooted. I don't even know what that means lol.
I have had the phone since the very first days it was released. Another slight annoying thing I have had happening prior is the glue on the screen has not been holding it down very well and and I can easily get a nail under it. And it wont let me do anything. I have a Droid X as a backup for now but I miss my beast

that's what im starting to think as htc has since released a revision 2 thunderbolt. i know as i just bought mine a few weeks ago. im wondering if the faulty phones were version 1 phones and have since been fixed. i also do not experience the high battery drain most of you guys do either.

Amaze Bricked

---See Update below at end of this post---
The phone was running fine till yesterday however it got discharged. Upon reaching home, I put the phone on charge forgot to turn it on. I remember the orange light on phone was on. About 2 hours later, I noticed that there was no notification light. I tried to turn on the phone but it didn't turn on
I removed the battery and tried again, the same thing. I put the charger cable back in, the orange light blinked a couple of time and it became steady orange. Tried to turn the phone on again and the light again went off. I tried the same thing over and over its the same result. I connected the phone to windows, its detected as qhsusb_dload and need drivers for it. I've searched around xda for it, I've found it means the phone is bricked for phones having qualcomm chipset, but the strange thing is it usually happens because of bad flash. My phone was running fine without any problems for past couple of weeks and I hadn't had flashed anything for last 2-3 days, I don't know what went wrong
Any idea how should I proceed ?
I bought my phone from eBay about 3 weeks back. I'm thinking of contacting the eBay seller and ask if they have tmobile warranty for it?
The other thing I could do is purchase squaretrade warranty and ask them for a repair 45 days later.
But I don't know, I had unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom ROM on it (although I was on stock kernel). Do you guys think, HTC or squaretrade will honor the warranty on it ? I know the second option is kind of immoral, but i dont want to lose $400 I just spent
--- UPDATE 03/31 ---
I got the replacement battery from HTC, using it my phone started. Later on, I changed to X's touch recovery and kernel to Faux 009 and guess what I was able to revive my dead battery also by charging via phone itself... I dont know where the bug lied exactly as somebody mentioned at other place the stock kernel in NRGZ thread is different from tmo stock and causing problems. My guess is bad recovery though as the CWM 5.0.2.6 for Amaze here doesn't support off charging...
--- UPDATE 04/05 ---
Member andy55 confirmed this bug is due to bad recovery and the stock kernel itself is fine.
I would suggest everyone to not use official CWM 5.0.2.6 recovery. Rather switch to Xboarder56's version of ClockworkMOD 5.5.0.4 or Touch 5.8.0.9 RC2
If a mod can put this above information in the reference thread for Amaze..It would save a lot of potential probs in Amaze's in here

Yes, I know its the most strange thing ever happened.
Do you or anybody know if sensation battery works on it. My room mate has a sensation I can ask him for his battery and try it out
sounds like the same thing that happened to my backup amaze. I swapped batteries and the same issue was affecting the other one, so its the battery. One of my amaze's is rooted rom'd etc and the other is stock, and the same issue affected the stock one, so its not a brick.
Good time to upgrade to an anker

HTC also replaces any accessory once, you could call and they'd probably send you a free battery.
I just got another back cover from them, since my old one was creaking.
To Discharge the battery, you could get a couple led lights and tape them to the + and - terminals of the battery and just let it die.
Radioshack has leds.
Probably not the easiest way... But it would work.

I tried to shorten it using just a simple wire and connecting the positive and negative terminals..however it doesn't seem to be doing anything

Will they send out second accessory also ?
I think they will send as many accessories just as you only ask for one of each. That's what it said on the paper they sent in the mail.

With your phone being s-on, you can't technically brick your phone. So as long as it's a hardware failure, and you don't have s-off and haven't been holding out on us you should be fine.

If you have a qsb_load brick caused in any way, plz try to identify your phones emmc like they did here in the link for the sensation in a Linux environment. You can only access this mode on a bricked phone.
I think we may be able to s-off using a version of this method. Ultimately intentionally bricking a phone and achieve installing a cracked boot loader and s-off.

Ok, I went through the thread to make out, what they are trying to do, however, without much success...
I couldn't find the pin they use on sensation to ground it to SD card frame, to put it in download mode. See the image attached, its kind of different from sensation. Also I can't find it any instructions for Linux environment, its mostly windows based (drivers and software). Can you point out the post or do a write up ? I have a mac with me, I'm guessing it would be same for os X also..
Anyway I don't know, if I should be doing all this...since I plan to RMA the phone to HTC incase it doesn't work with new battery.
However, if its indeed battery related and it does work with new battery, what I can do is ship you the battery which causes the brick. You can try the things on your Amaze, if you want to...since you seem better technically sound than me

Warranty. Tell your provider you woke up and it was like that.
Maybe try charging your battery? I've read stories where the battery was dead, had to charge for like 6 hours before phone responded. I know, simple but you never know... good luck to you!

This same thing happened to me with my GSII last month. Don't worry- as long as it's within the 1yr warranty, Samsung WILL fix it for free
Just give them a call & explain what happened. They'll email you a paid shipping label so you can send it to them, and you should get it back within a couple weeks tops. Turnaround time is pretty good, I think I had my phone back within 10 days.
Curoius what rom and kernel where you using? just in case I see this again?
Agreed ....the rom info would be good ...g
I was using the latest PA at the time 25th I think and DaG's Xa kernel. Going to hit up samsung here soon. I am on a ****ty mytouch 3g slide right now.
First thing to try is to get battery out of phone and charge with external chargers, ( external battery travel charger) , which might give battery new life.
If not, go to Samsung, we all are in warranty as its not been year yet for Galaxy Note in North America. And not to worry about custom Rom, bcoz phone is dead.

Random Reboots to Bricked? Help

I flashed newest deck cm 11/24 build. And Komodo kernel rls 20. I was using it for an hour or two. And then it went into random reboots. Now the phone rebooted one last time and turned off. I think its bricked. I installed the same way as i always have. Didnt install the wrong rom or kernel. I cant get to boot loader or recovery. No charging light. Ive tried holding down the power button, power and volume down etc no luck.
Anyone have any other ideas?
And if it is bricked whats the best way to get it replaced? go through sprint or htc without the least amount of trouble. I do have the Total Equipment Protection from sprint
anyone?
It's possible your battery is borked, leave it on the charger overnight. I'd that doesn't work your best bet is telling insurion you lost it. Pay your deductible, and you get another evo. Keep your old one for parts.

even if it was rebooting it could have been the battery being messed up? Because the charge was full. It just seems really weird.
And should i even go to the store to replace it or get help, or will they just tell me to call or go online to file a claim.
Or just dont bother with going to the store and because i did root my phone and its unlocked etc, and with the insurance they dont care?
Yes, the battery can cause reboots. If you can't get into recovery. Try to run the latest ruu, if your phone won't even respond to that. File a claim, play dumb. I said to claim lost because it's easier than playing dumb lol

To add using that option would be same as doing a factory reset+wiping /system. Also s-on users beware if attempting dirty flashes the wipe boot option is right above wipe system, WATCH YOUR DIRTY FLASHING!
Like this a lot, thanks. Two issues, one small. Battery life displays 66% at all times.
Also, my ROM had warned me that I had 1% battery life left, so I manually shut down. I plugged in the phone and was greeted by an orange blinking LED. after 1-2 minutes the led went solid. This is the same behavior I had before flashing the recovery. This time when I tried to turn on the phone the led went off and nothing happened. Had to pull the battery to get back to the blinking led, but ended up in the same cycle. After 20 min of being plugged in I couldn't get the phone to start. Luckily I have a battery charger.

Had this loaded up and my Rezound battery died, like completely dead and then it sat for a several days dead... Had it on the charger now for couple hours, won't charge the battery at all. Kind of reminds me of the old CWM charging issues.
Just going to let it sit on the charger overnight and see what happens, then will swap batteries and flash back to TWRP and see if that helps.

Get it into fastboot mode with battery out on charger then put battery in and let it sit for a few moments.

Actually, I just let it sit overnight and I had the comforting green light on the top of my Rezzy lit solid this morning. Guess I just had to be patient...

Sorry for the long post.
I've got a similar issue. I was running the evervolve rom from a few months ago and had wiped data from this recovery. I then wiped the external sd card. I'm packing this away since I have the m8. As that was going my kid had a minor emergency and I ended up leaving it for several days. It was on usb but my computer went to sleep and the battery died.
Now I can't boot into recovery and when I plug it to walk or usb I'll get a few short flashes and one long one then nothing. With the battery out on usb I get absolutely nothing. With the battery in I usually get an unknown driver issue in device manager. Same computer I've used for a year with adb. Since this no combination odd battery/charging well be recognized by adb. I assume my problems are related to the dead battery but it's my only one and I don't have an external charger.
Any ideas?

Plug it in to a regular adapter, not a PC, for at least 8 hours without touching it, it should start charging... If it doesn't you may have a bad battery.

Thanks for the reply, I could definitely believe the battery has gone bad. It's been plugged into an OEM wall charger for a day or more 3 times. The battery is almost 2 years old and with the battery life of the Rezound it has gone through quite a few cycles. Is there anything else I can try to ensure that the phone is still functioning before I go buy a new battery? I'm hoping to keep this around only as a BT streaming device/backup phone so it'll be plugged in anytime it's being used.
