Ok, so here's the thing:
I had 3% battery left and turned my evo off.
When I tried turning it on again after I got home, It wouldn't do anything. So i pulled the battery and tried again. Went to bootscreen -> battery empty, shut down.
it's the known clockwordmod bug where you cant charge your phone when it's off (yeah, yeah I know...)
So went into fastboot quickly and flashed twrp recovery. Success. Or so I thought. Get the red charging led when plugged in, doesn't seem to charge though. When I tried turning it on after ~30min "charging". Again, battery empty: shut down.
Also, If I try to enter recovery now I just get the htc load screen for a few seconds and then it reboots.
Wtf? Any idea what happened here?
Of course this happens two days before I planned on going on vacation around california...sigh
EDIT: ok, I think I got extremely lucky here, after attempt 10 or so I got it to boot and it's now charging. Still have to look after the recovery thing though...
EDIT2: All good now, nevermind.

I agree with this guy. 4ext recovery provided little to know issues for me. I abandoned clockwork mod forever.

Hi,
My Evo 3D was working fine, and then all of a sudden (no physical or moisture damage) it shut off and will not reboot.
Tried battery pull, tried several chargers. The LED goes red for about 2 seconds, then turns off, screen doesn't do anything.
If I unplug the phone, the LED stays red for a few seconds but is incredibly dim, then turns off.
The phone is rooted, but I am not running a custom rom at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Do youve got a custom recovery?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Yes on my sd, but I can't get into bootloader.. sorry i'm quite new at this.
Same thing happened to mine. By the time I took it to Sprint, the red light wouldn't come on at all. You'll need a replacement.
Hello,
I had the same thing.
You must conncect the phone to pc than go to the dirctory where you have installed adb and try adb reboot boatloder
You will see that the phone waked up.
Thats what i did and works for me.
sorry for my bad englisch
Thanks! I appreciate the help
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
some other help? the same thing happened to me today, but i cant open the mobile folder in pc when i plug it... it is here though
i updated clockwork recovery via rom manager today.. so its related?
edit: i already tryed another batterry and it didnt helped but it seems it is working now again just like that...
you have CWM which does not let charge while off (your battery is probably dead) flash revolutionary recovery...the only stable recovery for the GSM E3D out
i have the exact same problem, i am running clockwork mod (rooted) and with a flat battery the light will only come on for a few secs then drop out again, I did finally get the thing to charge and the best explanation i can give is a bit vague im sorry but i was so frustrated and trying so many things at once, just keep it plugged in , I know the light wont be on but there must be a trickle of a charge, eventualy I was able to boot holding what I remember to be the power and the camera button, slowly it crawled back to life, first just the splash screen (45secs) then the touchkeys lit, then a full boot, I then hit the wifi off button the second the homescreen loaded and very quickly turned the screen off so as to minimise the battery usage as it would have been only just bootable... the orange light remained and after 10 mins or so i was game enough to pop the screen back on (3% charge after 10 mins so be careful) and confirm that all was not lost... the date and time remained in tact..
so you can boot/charge from flat, but only just and only if you stuff about and trick it into life. I know this info has more or less been covered before but I hope it helps somewhat.
*my nokia 5210 stayed charged for more than half a week... grumble grumble
ok,adb reboot boatloder helped me. thanks for sharing. i knew that cwm recovery has this problem but i just thought that i broke my phone....pff...stupid recovery.
Had the same problem. Take battery out, put it back, hold power button and connect charger. A splash screen should appear.
What custom recovery are you running.if its cwm well that may be the culprit I had the same problem if you can get it to boot I advise you to use 4ext recovery that's what I'm using as my custom recovery and it works perfect and I no longer have the issue's that your having you should look into it good luck

Also see if you can boot into Bootloader if you can then you can flash another custom recovery like revolutionary version of cwm that will get you going

"keep it plugged in , I know the light wont be on but there must be a trickle of a charge, eventualy I was able to boot holding what I remember to be the power and the camera button"
This worked!
So I plugged my rooted stock rezound into charge. It wouldn't turn on to my surprise. The orange led will come on for a few seconds when I plug it in but then shuts off. I can't get into hboot or recovery. Says error device not found in adb. Don't wanna return to verizon like that. I could use some help lol

Is the battery completely dead? And do you have clockworkMOD for recovery? If yes to both, it's CWM's problem. You need to get AmonRA flashed and your battery charged up.
If not.....

Battery was at 70 percent when I plugged it in so I doubt it. But I do have cwm. It won't boot plugged in with no battery either.

If your battery isn't completely dead, try this. Unplug it, pull the battery for a few seconds, put the battery back in (do not plug the phone back in), and attempt to power it on. Once it starts to boot, feel free to plug it back in. I had this happen to me once when I was screwing around with recoveries.

Got it. Turns out the extended battery I swapped in was dead. The regular one in the phone is now a paper weight. I put my girls thunderbolt battery in and it booted so I charged my extended battery

verizon had external chargers for the rezound for 5 bucks a while back, they still might or amazon or ebay have them cheap as well.
I would stay away from CWM since it is causing so many charging problems. Why do people use this recovery on the Rezound when it clearly is buggy.
Hey guys,
I installed Rezrom v3.2 on my Rezound yesterday, and it was stable for the most part until this morning. My phone died last night and even though it has been on the charger all day I can't get it to boot into bootloader. When I try to power it on the phone boots then dies immediately. After that I have to let it sit on the charger for another 10 minutes or so before I can try anything again.
I've tried a battery pull (like 40 times)
Like I said can't boot into bootloader, and as such can't get into recovery.
When I connect it to my computer the computer makes sounds as if hardware has been connected, but it doesn't show up in "My Computer"
Please help
Sounds like a bad battery I would see if you can find a friend with a rez and see if their battery works? Have you tryed booting without the battery in not sure if that works on this phone worked on my evo but that sounds like a battery problem to me

I cant recall exactly, but somewhere on these forums there is a thread or two about this. And they also have exact steps on how to fix it, ive never heard of it with rezrom, but im sure it would be the same solution. I wish i could help more but ill see if i can locate where i found the thread.
It's because of clockwork, it doesn't allow the phone to charge in this state
Your only hope is another battery to get it powered to flash amon ra or a battery charger. I've used my thunderbolt to fix this problem

The recovery won't let it charge but it should still provide power to the phone when pluged into the wall or usb. I have amon ra and I had 2% battery level pluged it in booted to recovery flashed a kernel did the hboot flash rebooted and still had 2% then it started charging so I know the phone recives power in recovery. Besides it will deffinetly charge when it is powered off which he said he tried and still couldnt boot I say bad battery but you could be right mabey it is your recovery

Hi,
Yesterday I'd tried to flash ICS into my EVO. Since the camera and 3D didn't work, I reflashed it with KingCobra 2.3 today morning. After reinstalling my Apps, I used tethering for 4 - 5 hours. After that my EVO does neither work, nor I can turn it on! Once I removed the battery and put it back in. I tried to recharge it, the LED blinked for 2 or 3 seconds long, and then it turned off again. So practically I can't access anything right now, not even the bootloader. Have somebody experienced the same like me? I'm looking for a solution. Thanks.
I hope i dont run into that problem, did you do a full wipe when you reflashed back? Did you make a nanroid back up??

in the forum about downgrading from hboot 1.5 to 1.4 it talks about what to do if your evo gets caught in this condition
Sounds like your recovery is cwm, charge battery in dock first then try and turn it on

Did you try turning it off and charging it. The phone won't charge if it's too hot. Led will blink red then green then off

What recovery are you using? I've only had that problem when using older CWM recoveries on this phone. Try using 4EXT recovery it resolved all my issues and the developer supports his product.

+1 on checking your recovery. I had this problem when I was using TWRP (or whatever the acronym is) recovery. I switched over to 4EXT and haven't encountered that problem since. To update the recovery you may need to acquire a charged Amaze, HTC Evo 3d, or Sensation battery. :/
It may be the cwm your using

Mine does this occasionally too, but only when using a USB or car charger never an AC charger. I am also using 4ext touch.

There is definitely something wrong. You need to return everything to stock and call htc.
