is the battery possible done for? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I received a broken phone that had been shattered pretty bad from one of my bosses. I ended up finding a replacement digitizer/screen/chassis for fairly cheap. 5 days later I received the parts, and assumably the battery was rundown before it was handed to me, so it sat dead for about 5 days while I waited on this part to repair it. I swapped the mainboard and everything looked really good from the broken phone besides the chassis/screen. After I get it together it appears to be doing a bootloop at the HTC Sense screen. I get it into hte bootloader on the next boot. First I did a memory clear, reboot back into bootloader. then accidently while trying to shut it down i selected fastboot. I get it to start one more time and select factory reset. it still gets stuck at htc boot screen with no indication its doing a factory reset. So then finally I shut it off in what appears to be a bootloop, restart it and notice it says "LOW Voltage, please replace battery" So I'm thinking at this point the battery maybe just low and needs charging before trying to do a hard reset. I turn it off again but notice the whole unit is VERY hot, i've never held a phone this hot. Anticipating damage if I let it stay on charger, I pull it off the charger and let it cool. Now I can't get it to boot. While plugged into the A/C adapter I do get a flashing orange light indicating its charging "or trying to" and I leave it on there for a few hours. I've now tried booting it while holding down the power for 10 seconds, over a minute, with volume down and without, many different combinations and it won't boot. I get no lights unless i have it on the A/C power. If I leave it on the charger for over an hour I do get the flashing orange light for a few seconds and then it goes off completely. I called Sprint, they won't sell me a battery because its integrated on this unit. So I called HTC and they want me to ship the whole phone to them, and obviously its out of warranty since I opened it up so now they want $140.00 to fix it and 280.00 if the mainboard has to be replaced. Ouch. I've probably bought over 50 EVO's for our employees on our Sprint Business Account between the Original 4G and the 3D and after seeing this model which one of the owners purchased I have to say that this integrated battery like the stupid iphones is a HUGE disappointment as far as engineering. I tried the 1 minute on A/C power power button holding technique to mimic a battery pull reset, and get nothing. I would never buy this phone for my employees based on the battery problem alone. I've seen batteries killed in a number of scenarios not including just heavy phone usage. I'm still using my original 4G and was going to finally swap to this phone after repairing it. Disappointment doesn't begin to describe this phone. So is the consensus that the battery is dead and I need to get another one by sending it out to HTC? Any other revival tips?

My phone did the flashing orange light when I took it out of the box.
I think you can buy parts online. I'd do a search. If you changed the screen a battery should be cake.
Supposedly only two screws to get to it.

Do u have adb tools? If u hook it up does adb recognize it at all? Lazypanda has an unbricker but I sincerely doubt it will work for this. I would be mad if I bought a battery and a bunch of parts just to have them not work bc its the motherboard that needs replaced.
Was the phone dropped in water or from a height of over 10ft? Normal drops may break the screen but the motherboard? Guess it is possible.

Here's what you do, add the phone to your account, add insurance, then next day call assurion make a claim and pay the 100 and have a newly refurbished lte.

That would be insurance fraud... and if you make a claim the next day i am pretty sure they would figure it out.

Shutoff EVO 3D, won't charge or Turn on without battery pull!!

This problem started tonight. I just returned my first EVO 3D on Monday morning, because of problems. I am on second EVO 3D. The first EVO 3D I got on the 24th had intermittent charging problems, where the light wouldn't go on all the time, and had problems charging. It turned out to be a bad port. I had no problems exchanging that EVO 3D. The second one seemed to be fine all day Monday and shut down and charged with not problems Monday night. Today I used it all day and just went to shut it down just like I always do, and plugged it in to the charger. No red light came on at all. I said, oh no, hear I go again. I went to turn on the EVO 3D and nothing happened. I would not start at all. I decided to pull the battery out and put it back in after a minute, and, of course, everything is fine now, at least for tonight. If this happens again, tomorrow night, Wednesday, I will bring it back to Sprint for one last exchange. This time I will try another Sprint Corporate store, instead of the one I got the first two. Hopefully the third time the charm. After three exchanges, I will give up on the EVO 3D, and probably wait until the Motorola Photon comes out. I really hope this doesn't happen, because I really don't like BLUR and I do like the EVO 3D.
Anyone else who had this problem in the last few days, are you still having this problem or have you already exchanged it?
I am hoping this is a one time thing,
Try turning fastboot off. It's under power in settings

On some phones, there is an issue where if the USB cable is plugged in, you won't be able to turn on the phone. Had this weird issue myself, but realized it's the USB cable.
check your mem card.
if you've had 2 devices do this I'd say the device is not likely the issue.
or its possible this was patched in the OTA updates
try it without your mem card
change your usb cable
change your outlet your using.
i had the same thing happen to me within an hour of getting my phone on launch day. took it right back and they swapped it out for a new one.
they said i was the only person this happened to, but i said check the internet, its happening to others.
they tried the taking out mem card, new mem card, diff cable, pulled the battery out and put it in a new 3d and it worked, so its not the battery, letting it sit for a while, nothing.
i think something just fries on the motherboard and kills the phone randomly, but if it doesn't happen within a few hours or so of you getting the phone you should be good.
I find it real funny that people are so butt hurt when things happen to a phone when it first releases lmao. Come on now its new tech you guys go through all the trouble of exchanging things when it doesn't work to your liking when you should know off top that it ain't gonna be perfect when you first get it.

when you say "aint work to your liking", you know were talking about not working at all right
I had a defective one that kept rebooting and i was using it on the charger. The finally it stopped rebooting but then screen would stay black but still backlit after Sprint message. Sometimes you just get a defective product out a bunch since things are made in bulk you usually find out in the first few days while charging. Happens on a lot things. Haven't any problems with my second. Btw photons tegra 2 isn't even close to as powerful as the Snapdragon 3 so you would be getting a lesser phone months later.
This happened to me earlier today. I powered it off to save battery for later since it was getting low. When I went to turn it on... it just wouldn't turn on. After pulling the battery, it turned on right away.
The first EVO 3D that I returned on Monday only had an intermittent charging problem. I never had a problem of it not turning on, it just would not charge at times. The one that I got as a replacement, brand new EVO 3D, worked great yesterday, with no problems. I shut it down like I normally would do at the end of the day. The battery level was at 20%. I plugged in the battery charger (HTC one that came with the phone) and nothing happened. I then switched to two different outlets. Still the same. I got a different USB cord to see if it was the cord. Still the same problem. I had a travel charger, and tried it to see if that would make a difference. Nope, it still didn't work. So, that is when I decided to pull the battery. After pulling the battery and putting it back in, everything worked fine. I did notice that the phone was warm last night after extensive use of the phone all day. My daughter and I put it through the ringer, testing all the different features, ie, games, pictures, movies, internet, email, music, etc. The battery life was actually great yesterday. I do have the Otterbox Commuter Case on the phone if that makes a difference.
This morning after recharging, the phone turned on with no problem. I will have to see if it does it again tonight, or was it a small glitch. I guess this is why I have a 30 day return/exchange policy. I did do everything that people had suggested. I put in a 16 GB 6 speed microSD card in it, and tried the 8 GB that came with the phone also.
Problem might be caused by Update!! Read My last post.
A little update. I was on the phone with Tech support about the problem of the phone not starting up and the battery pull was the only way to get it to work. So he wrote down all the of what I did. He had me shut the phone down to see what would happen, since I had it on since early this morning. Sure enough, it wouldn't start again. He told, don't do anything and leave the phone alone and go to the Sprint store to exchange it. Well, I am now off to the store to get my 3rd EVO 3D. Hopefully 3 is my lucky number. Anyone else having this many problems. I must be the most unluckiest person.
This happened to me today. I was on the phone, battery died. I plugged it into the car charger, never got a charging light. Waited till I got home and put it on my home charger, no light. Pulled battery, back to normal.
I had the same troubles. Wiped phone took updates and it was fine for a few hours then Frozen. Sprint sending me out a new one. Hopefully second times a charm.
This happened to me today, but differently. I had about 35% left on my battery, so I plugged it into my work computer to charge before I left for the day. I had left it alone for a few minutes, and went to go check Facebook. Interestingly, it wouldn't turn on, nor was the charging light on. I pulled it off the cable, still wouldn't turn on. Pulled the battery, put it back in, wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in, and the computer recognized it like it was turned on. It tried to install drivers for QHSUSB_DLOAD. But the screen wouldn't come on, nor would the charging light come on. Ended up having to take it to the Sprint store and they gave me a new one.
Definitely a shocking experience for a phone only 6 days old.
I have no problem from day 1

SAME thing happened to me, needed a replacement
and here was my experiment (Across multiple posts, none of which gathered many ****ing replies. Interesting how this one is)
At first I thought it had to do with my 32gb memory card, then I thought it had to do with fast boot, then I thought it had to with hacking, then I thought it had to do with certain cables, then I thought it had to do with the extension cord, then I thought it had to do with using a USB 3.0 extender cable. Needless to say it was none of those.
Check my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137683
I could reproduce this every single time without fail as long as I had fast boot off and powered down the phone with the charger in it.
After a while of trying to understand the cause, I broke it even more to the point where it wouldn't turn on regardless if I had a memory card in there or not, as long as a cable was plugged into the charging port, it would cease to turn on! At any rate, I went to the Sprint Store yesterday, and none of the floor models had that issue so I swapped it out. After battling it out with a Sprint Tech who thought he knew what he was doing, he eventually caved--as if I couldn't get a replacement anyway since within 30-day return policy. So far, my new EVO 3D isn't doing this, but you best believe if it does, I'm returning it and getting a Nexus S 4G instead.
I'm not sure if I should try a hard reset to see if it'll fix it... or just ask for a replacement.
I had something weird happen. Not exactly the same issue, but odd. My phone has been giving me awesome battery life, I typically have been getting 16 hours of medium or so use. I charged my phone to full and took it off the charger at 1am to put by my bedside so I can use the alarm clock. I wake up late, my alarm didnt go off, so I click the power button on the phone and nothing happens. Phone wont turn on, I tried a battery pull.
I took the phone to a Sprint store and the tech tells me it powered up when he plugged it in, and that my battery had died during the 7 hours it was sitting on my night stand, and I've been getting over 16 hours a day on the battery. I found this odd, he put it on the charger for 15 minutes and my phone was at 50% battery so I dont really believe that it was a completely dead battery. There are some weird issues with the phone, and I rely on it for my alarm. Should this happen again, I'll probably return the phone and just wait for newer hardware revisions, as I love the phone.
Well, I got my third replacement EVO 3D today. I took it to the Sprint Corporate store that I got the first two. I went right to the Manager and had her help me with the phone's problem. She said there was no problem in exchanging the EVO 3D after seeing it not start up. She pulled the battery, just like I told her she should do, and said it most likely would work fine after the pull. Sure enough it worked again. I talked to her about what would be causing the problem with now two returned phones. She said that other Managers were talking to her about the problem, and they believe that it was caused by the update Sprint and HTC pushed to the phone . She told me I should not do the update for the phone until a new update comes out. I am going on Vacation in two days and I need to make sure I have a working phone, so if my phone will work without the update, that is what I will do. Sprint hasn't admitted yet there is a problem, but it sounds like internally they know something is wrong. If anyone else is having this problem, I would go to Sprint store or wherever you got the phone, and get a new phone and not update until a new update is available. I intend to call Sprint and let them know after a week or two, if my phone is working properly, that the update was most likely the problem.
What's the AC charger you use? I cannot meet this issue with HTC EVO 3D official AC charger. Maybe you use another brand's Micro USB charger but not HTC EVO 3D official AC charger.

Just got my S2, but it won't turn on! :(

So I had bought this phone off ebay and when I got it today I tried to turn it on, but nothing happened.
I then plugged the phone in and tried powering it on and still nothing. I tried charging the battery and left it alone for an hour and afterwards the result is the same. Basically when I plug in the phone to the charger, the phone's screen will flash a battery icon as if its going to charge for a split second and then go blank. And then it will flash the battery icon again and then go blank again and it will go on like this for a couple of minutes until the screen finally stays blank.
So as I said even though I leave the phone to charge for a while, it still won't turn on and the only result seems to be that the phone gets warm near the camera. Also I tried to see if download mode works and pressed both volume buttons and I get a brief flash of some words. After doing it for several times I saw it said 'Low battery, cannot download' all in red.
I searched the forum and tried leaving the battery out for a while and also putting it in the fridge to see if anything would happen but nothing. So can anyone help? Is it just the battery?
Could be the battery - if you are on good terms with a local ATT store, try going there and asking if you can borrow a battery from their demo device to see if yours will power up. That's the best cheap way I can think of to rule that out.
Other possibility is a bad USB port. My first device developed a failure at about 2 months - I'm actually on day 5 with my warranty replacement. There is another member here, Moustro I think, who also may have a bad USB port. He and I were wondering if perhaps there was a bad batch out there. I'm not sure what ATT's warranty policy is for items re-sold on eBay, but might be worth checking out...
yeah that does sound like it could be the battery boot loop, take some photos of the battery to see if it is the oem... if it is the oem try a stand alone chager

I live in Canada don't think I'd get much help from AT&T probably.
Also the battery is the original one and not a replacement. I left it unplugged for a few hours and just now plugged it back in and its the same battery icon flashing for a couple of minutes and then blank screen. No charging whatsoever. I tried different outlets and different USB ports on my notebook and its all the same.
I also have an Infuse and charging for that every by every method is just fine so its my SII that's messed up.
If it's any condolence to you, I just bought a brand new GS2 from the ATT store today. The battery was semi-charged when I got it, and when it ran out, I plugged it in and got the same thing you did. Battery is flashing, cannot power it on, even plugged in. I also got the red "Low battery, cannot download".
I spent the better part of 4 hours reloading my apps and email addys, and everything else to get my phone up and running, and now this.
I am going back to the ATT store tomorrow and requesting a different brand new one.
This is my 2nd GS2, because I destroyed my first one in an accident.
Just as dandrumheller was saying. I had simimiar issues where the phone battery would blink on and off even if the charger was plugged in or not while the phone was powered off. The only way I could get my phone to boot to prepare it for warranty exchange was to flash a rom through Odin. But if you can't get it into download mode this wouldn't work.
My suggestion would be to use a different battery. That would let you know if its a hardware issue or bad battery.
hmm...
I was able to to get it to power on last night with what little battery was left. I then plugged it into the USB of my Mac, rather than the charging wart. When I awoke this AM, I have a fully charged battery, and a working phone. I will let the battery run out again completely today and see what happens.
That's great news! I hope it continues to work for you
I would not let it completely run out. Our batteries don't like that. Don't go below 25 percent. I'm glad you got it working. I know you're relieved.

We all know AT&T isn't in the best graces with most.
They must be the ***** of Comcast.
Anybody got anymore suggestions?? Can't get it to work no matter what I try.
Call samsung and see if they will honor the warranty? Don't know their rules, but in another thread someone suggested that sale of the phone does not void the warranty.

Max,
Were you able to find a fix for your problem? i bought a SGII from ebay and is presenting the same issue
For what its worth I am able to enter download with NO battery. In fact I ONLY do it without a battery. I just hold both volume buttons and plug in the USB to my computer while not pressing anything else. Without battery.
Thought the OP said he couldn't enter download.... so if that doesn't throw it in download it's more than just battery.

Guys,
I tried this and it worked...
At a last resort, i put the battery on nexus to see if it will charge and DAMN !! it did,, so the battery was not the issue...so i grab a swab with little alcohol then clean the terminals on the battery and the spring connectors on the phone... and voila !!! started charging and keeps working perfectly.
It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you guys.
Glad you were able to isolate the problem.

Same problem
Flashing on for a sec then flashing off, buttons flashed too. Phone got hot around the battery. Couldn't have described the problem better
Took some alcohol, cleaned the contacts for the USB connector, cleaned the battery contacts, and booyah, got the charging symbol again! Problem was, I didn't use the phone for a month, it rode around in the front pocket of my laptop bag, and apparently got the contacts dirty. A little toothpick and q-tip fun later, and my phone started charging again. Thanks -

Really? I've had mostly HTC phones and we could run them down pretty low.. I've been running mine down past 10 and it's been fine.. stock battery.
I had the same problem as op. My last resort was to cut the micro usb end of a spare cable and connected it to the (+) and (-) on the phone itself. since the phone booted up, i knew it was the battery. Next, i did the same thing but (+) and (-) on the battery itself while connected to a computer. i held it in place for about 10 seconds. put the battery back in the phone and it started charging again. im sure it wasnt the safeat thing to do, but it worked. Maybe the dead battery needed some kind of jump.
btw. The wires you would be using are the the black and red. and i got this idea from

I believe these are different types of batteries. Not Lithium, but something else. I bought some spare batteries from eBay and the batteries had the same instructions... That it is not good to let them die completely, and charge then preferably when they still have 1/3 charge left.

4G refuses to connect

My Evo 3D phone's power button broke off (how, I have no idea) -- took it to Sprint, they told me nothing they could do -- so they ordered a replacement for me at no cost (refurb of course). Received refurb phone, turned it on one time, 2 of the 4 soft buttons weren't working, no big deal.. powered the phone back off and went about other business until I could have time to come back and root/s-off the phone. Came back to do this a few hours later, phone was burning up and wouldn't power on. Pulled battery, let phone cool down, put battery back in, nothing. Put it on charge to make sure battery wasn't drained, nothing.. Went into the store the next day again, and once again, ordered another evo 3d phone for the defective phone that was sent to me. The entire time, my original phone worked, as I found an android app to reprogram the camera button to make it a power button (only while phone was powered up). Anyway, received 2nd replacement phone, and now the 4G Wimax service won't connect.. It goes to: Connecting to Sprint... to Obtaining IP address, to turning off, then turns back on, process repeats.
So, ESN swap back to my ORIGINAL phone, and now that phone won't connect to 4G. Anyone have any thoughts on exactly what is wrong? Sprint claims it's the phone again, in which case, if I have to go into the store again, it'll be the 3rd time to do this and deal with, yet, another replacement.
I would raise some hell with them and be like this is the third f***ing phone you guys have replaced all defective. I demand a new one. Because you only get so many replacements for one year. If you insurance I would file a claim with asurion and tell them what's going on. This happened to me.before and they sent me a new one. No refurbs.

[Q] Phone bricked - probably for hardware reasons

I have an AT&T HOX+ and basically it's dead, but I figured it was worthwhile asking for suggestions. My phone was rooted and running ViperXL, working normally. Then I dropped it, while it was plugged in. What I managed to do was mangle the micro USB port beyond usability, while the phone had 1% battery. At the time it seemed like the phone was otherwise totally fine, so I figured this wouldn't be an unreasonable fix.
I brought my phone into a local repair shop with good reviews and had them look at my phone. They said the USB port was a simple fix, 20$ part and they did fix it. Four days later I get a call from them saying we're really sorry, but we did the fix and the phone still doesn't work - it seems to be a problem with the logic board. I picked up the phone yesterday and basically confirmed what they said. The USB port is fixed but doesn't appear to serve much purpose.
Here are the symptoms: nothing visibly wrong with the phone or charging port, other than the fact that it won't boot. When plugged in, a small red LED blinks every ~1.5 seconds in the speaker grille. When the power button is held down, after about 5 seconds the three LEDs light up for 2 seconds then turn off. Nothing else happens.
Edit: I should add that the blinking LED continues when not plugged in. Plugging the phone in doesn't really appear to do anything.
The repair people are probably right and it's the logic board - which is pretty unhelpful. When I asked what they suggested, they said any repair is going to be very expensive and it might be worth getting a new phone. I've only had this phone for 4 months so I have another 20 months of happy contractual obligations. At this point I'm looking for any suggestions on where to get this phone repaired. I may have voided whatever warranty HTC offers by getting my phone repaired aftermarket but when I researched the warrenty, it didn't seem like it would cover this issue anyway. I haven't tried bringing the phone into an AT&T store yet. Thank you!
I don't know that I can give you a definitive answer, but I can say that the blinking red LED is (or can be) caused by the battery having no charge. If you ask me, I say that even though the USB port is fixed, it's not delivering any charge to the battery.
That seems pretty likely which means either the repair people didn't correctly put on the new part or by dropping it I broke something more complicated.
I guess my real question is more about repair / replacing the phone. Is there an official repair outlet for HTC that could repair it? At this point paying is inevitable but I'd rather not buy a new phone if possible, although the new nexus GS4 is tempting.
The blinking red light means the phone doesn't have enough power to even power up. I don't know about the other 3 led thing you talk about, but try to leave your phone charging for a couple of hours and then try to power it up.

It doesn't seem to be getting any charge at all when plugged in, so replacing the usb port must not have fixed the problem.
better to buy a brand new HTC unit
I suggest you charge it continuously for an hour and then try to switch it on. Same thing happened to my phone and this is what I did which worked!

Phone died; can it be resurrected?

So, my DNA is outside of the warranty period (was provided with the phone after numerous issues with another phone model in January I had originally purchased last August) and yesterday, it appears that it managed to brick itself. I was running cm 10.2 ( without issue I might add), when yesterday morning, after being on a wireless charger all night, the battery drained from 100% to 0% in about half an hour while getting incredibly hot. The odd thing is, I couldn't find a software culprit during that time. Also, the phone basically started to trickle charge only, even when the phone was off. Thus, I waited about an hour with the phone off to charge it to 10% and bottled into TWRP to restore a recovery of a Sense ROM. Mid-recovery, the phone shut down instantly and since, I haven't been able to get it to charge (no light) after multiple attempts with different charging solutions and combinations of button presses. I have a new phone on order via my carrier contract upgrade, but I'd love to resuscitate this thing, if not just to get my data off that hadn't been backed up. Does this sound like a hardware issue (I.e. Bad battery) or do you guys think the phone bricked itself when it shut down during the restoration process? Any troubleshooting tips?
chances are hardware failure as it seems common lately on here lol and you can buy a phone with a bad screen and lose your info or jtag and lose your info or keep a pretty black and red paper weight either way unless it takes a full charge and you are luck to get recovery back up a good backup to take your out of luck enjoy your new device coming

It seems that way. Been on the charger for 3 days with no luck. I think I'm going to order one of those case opening tools and see if I can remove the battery cable for a reboot.
