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
Adb reboot recovery

try plugging into your pc and use the 'adb reboot recovery' command
Knightslay, I sent you a private message
Edit: I got him up and going again, hopefully he can finish rooting when he wakes up
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

Here ya go man, just change the name to PG86IMG.zip and when you boot into the system don't forget to rename it again.

Thanks. I added it to my dropbox. I'm heading out of state and I'm returning tomorrow. I'll try it out then. I might have to get a new battery for it. Doesn't seem to be charging unless it takes two days...

No problem. Mine charges pretty slow also, but not 2 days.
Looks like the charging light is blinking since yesterday when charging...

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
Ummm all I can say is try to Google htc evo 4G lte hard brick... I found this link but I believe u would need a Linux computer... If u don't have one then hopefully u can find one with windows comp... Good luck bro

Thanks for your reply. I will try this and report back.
Whats the next step if when i let it die and then plug it in and the light does not turn on?
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.

I think this may be the case. If anyone wants to mess with my phone I will gladly aid in anyway.
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
Thanks for your responses guys.... Unfortunately it still won't turn on, the charging light won't come on either after trying different chargers.
Is there a way to turn on the phone through ADB? I have never tried it but does anyone know if it's possible?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Nope
Isn't it possible to boot thru fastboot using 'fastboot reboot system' ? Provided you can get into your hboot.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
If they said they could get to hboot but if you can't boot normally then you can't fastboot a reboot either
How would I get into hboot? When I plug it into my computer its still make noises and showing up not as the flash memory but something else

To get into hboot, power off, then hold volume down while pressing the power button. Then use volume to choose and power to select.

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.
That's what I thought they were saying but then another post had me thinking I might be misunderstanding them
Yea it does exactly that when I plug it in, do you know what I should do?

Instead of saying "Please help! help!", you need to give more information about your device. If you can't do that, you are wasting your time and everyone else's because we cannot play the guessing game with you.
Did you pull the battery?
Did you try charging it overnight?
Were you using the Jbear kit on Windows, or Linux?
What stage were you on when your device went bad?
Did you install the HTC drivers?
Did you reboot your PC to see if that helps fix the driver issue?

It is not a hardware fault. As i am unable to switch off my phone with the power button, i have to pull out the battery
And when i connect charger the charging light keeps on coming even when charger is removed.
Any guess?
Hardware-based fault

I'm not sure but my best bet is that your lcd went. You could check to see if your connectors are in tact but that would mean taking it apart. I would suggest taking it to a repair shop I'm sure they'll give you a more accurate answer.

S-off
Since it happened while doing s-off on windows, isn't it more likely that the process that is not supported for windows--especially with a cable pull--would have mis-flashed the phone's bios?
Is it possible that re-running the s-off solution would correct the issue?
