Maybe it crashed with screen off. Try pulling the battery and restarting.

no need, spend 5 mins, plugging charger in, til the red light, lights then fades, pull out at this point, then plug in, repeating the process for 5 mins........then, hold (vol - , & Power) booting into bootloader, then plug your phone in, and you will see its charging
had to do it a few times myself

Everything was working fine...i know the battery is completely dead but like i said when i plug it in the charger the red light comes on for about 5 seconds then it goes off and wont come on again. He was gonna put a ROM on it and root it but i have to get it flashed to the metro network. He put it on mobilego i guess to backup my info but he had it on other programs, told me i needed it flashed first then gave it back to me.its been on the charger for about 2 hrs now and no charge still
Maybe he bricked it?

Did it boot yet? For me, if the battery dies, I have to pull it out, put it back and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before it starts up again.

Pull battery for a few put back in then charge it on a wall charger while its still off for 30mins...Mobilego is sync software so unless he actually went through the process of going into recovery etc etc then chances are its the battery

I would like to know if you can access recovery with the phone without a battery but with the charger on.
To access the boot menu, make sure the phone is off and press pwr + vol down. If you can access the recovery menu then there is still hope.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
press the camera button + power button.
Sounds like battery issues... The phone thinks the battery is dead... Pull the battery out and leave it for about 20 mins or so, throw it back in, don't power it up and plug it in, let it sit for awhile(red led should stay lit) after like 20 mins turn it on

Had the same issue try plugging it into the charger for a couple mins remove the battery replace the battery plug it back in and repeat 6-7 times then hold power and volume buttons. If not leave the battery out for like an hour then try the first step. I know it sounds stupid but it worked for me. Hope it helps.

was running quicksense from about january dont know exactly which version.
phone completely died on me,
connected it to the charger and it turned on to the green "htc" logo,
but then it turns off..
so i tried booting to recover; holding volume down + power, with no luck.
tried it via connected to computer, no luck.
with & without batter still nothing..
weird thing is, SOMETIMES the charging light will keep blinking.
also SOMETIMES, the screen stays off, and the vibration feedback when pressing the home, menu, back, and search keys, virbates..
do i have the first bricked amaze or what?
--the search key "restarts the phone"
i can tell because the keys no longer make the phone vibrate when pressed after pressing the search key.
I'm betting my money on you having a earlier recovery installed that doesn't allow proper boot if the battery is dead... crappy part about that? it doesn't let the battery charge either... Find someone with an Amaze, or Sensation, charge your battery in their phone for 30 minutes, then try your phone again. Also, after your phone is charged, you probably want to reflash your recovery to a new one that doesn't exhibit this problem.
*just a wild guess, but it makes sense, it's happened to me*
*note, you could just have unrelated catastrophic hardware failure, lol*
As long as you have s - off you can't brick it.

S-Off isn't possible right now, S-On-Unlocked is safe. although having the recovery that doesn't support charging is like a temp-brick. You just need to charge your battery in another phone.
Or splice the battery directly to the wires for half an hour. That's how I charged when my charging port was the broked

Can you at least get into adb? You could try accessing it and then using adb to reboot into bootloader/recovery via "abd reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader"
Did this get resolved? Just wanted to know if my hunch was right.
It sounds like a dead battery. The blinking light means (from my experience) that its charging but not enough juice to use yet. Once my phone died and it blinked for a couple of minutes. I tried turning on, but battery wasn't juiced enough. After a few minutes, the light turned solid and was charging and had enough power to turn on.
I would try a new battery. Good news is you're not bricked, and most likely, not even soft bricked

I've had a very similar issue to those mentioned here. I have the latest cwm recovery installed (five point something). After wiping battery stats my amaze went into a cycle of booting up normally then automatically restarting after about 30 seconds. Now it shows the amber light while charging, but will not boot at all, not even into recovery. adb says device not recognized, and the amber light flashes periodically and shuts off if i press the power button... should I trash this phone and get a galaxy s II ?

Does the phone charge when you plug it in?
So i have had my EVOLTE for a while now (3rd one) and currently I was running OMJ's JB Sense Rom. Everything was working fine, but in the past day, my phone was a little laggy, so I downloaded another ROM and Kernel, and set my phone down to let it download.
I noticed that the phone was getting a little hot, but thought that when downloading large files, it sometimes did. Later I went back to check on the phone while it was on the charger, and it seemed to be going fine, but when I unplugged it, the phone turned off, and now will not turn back on.
The soft button lights will flash when I hold up and power or down and power, but the screen never comes on, and sometimes it will randomly vibrate. Ive been trying to fix it using the unlimited.io ubuntu tools, but I cant get any of them to recognize it as being plugged into the USB. My laptop just keeps seeing it as an MTP device. I am rooted but not S-OFF...
Please Help!
Just Tried using several RUU's including the 3.12 JB RUU and I always get a 155 error.... Im all out of theories...

I've got nothing, then. Doesn't sound like a total brick, though, especially since the capacitive buttons light up. If you can let the battery die, plug your phone up and see if it will charge. This would be a good sign, in my opinion. Was your battery low when you were trying to flash the ROM?

You need to hold the power and volume DOWN buttons after doing the battery pull reset. That should get you into the bootloader.

If the lights still blink, then the device isn't dead. I'd throw it on the charger and forget about it for a few hours, and then try to get into HBOOT again.
It was on the charger from 10 pm till 8am and still nothing is happening... Thanks for all of your help

Trying powering it on again, and connect it to a PC. See if the PC recognizes it at all. That will help determine whether the device is on, and your screen is burnt out, or if something else is wrong. If it does acknowledge a device was plugged in, try an "adb devices" to see if adb can see the device.
If the screen doesn't come on at all, you should have no problem taking it to Sprint and getting a replacement.
NEED DESPERATE HELP ! ! ! [/B]
My HOX+ ran of out charge completely yesterday while I was playing a game on the phone. I plugged the phone in for charging via USB, the red light blinked three times and stopped. There is no sign of the phone charging anymore. So I then tried charging it via an AC adapter. The red lights stays there for only about 5 seconds and disappears again.
I have tried already tried to hard reset (power + volume down) the device. No sign of recovery! I also tried removing the SIM card and tried charging. This wasnt of much help either.
Please help with out any charge I'm not able to see a lot of options for my phone????

My recovery is kind of under a big question mark. I was using CWM but due to certain reason i wanted to shift to twrp. So i got rid off the CWM and flashed Twrp. However when i booted into recovery it just showed a black screen. This happened about two weeks ago tho. Could this be the issue?

Visit Lloir's thread or TWRP official site and install the TWRP that is relevant to you (INTL / ATT)
you need to restart in fastboot to flash recovery.

I did that previously. I used the recovery suggested for my phone. Something still went wrong with the recovery.
I cant restart in fastboot. The phone is dead, No charge to even flash a ROM or do anything to recover my phone.
I think its time to give it to HTC. Hopefully since the phone doesn't switch on they probably wouldn't be able to figure out its rooted.
Thanks for your help guys but I think its time to call it.

Okay So I left the phone on charge for 27 hours. No lights and no sign of any activity. So then I had this little whack idea
I plugged my phone into the PC first. As I mentioned earlier- When I plugged my device into the PC the light blinked three times and then no light at all.
So this time when i plugged it into the PC I held the power button and waited for the three blinks after this I quickly took the usb cord and plugged it into an AC adapter while still holding the power button and Voilaaa
The phone is completely functional again.
Glad to have put you on the right track

Hi All.
Not exactly the same problem but very similar. I've opened my HOX+ a little (just enought to measure the pogo pins by inside). Then, when my device got discharged (already closed), I plugged the AC power and turned it on. During the boot screen, It suddenly turned off and now, when I plug the power the only thing I got is a red light blinking forever. No boot screen.... My device was unlocked and flashed with Elegancia for some days before it happened.
Does anyone has any ideas? Now I have a pretty fancy paperweight!

the flashing red lights = it's charging but not enough juice to boot, so leave it on an AC charger for about 30minutes

After some hours, all still the same. I think that this could be due to a bad contact. I dont know? Any other thoughts?
So I have a verizon s4 (rooted) and it is bricked. If I take the battery out and put it back in the screen shows "Samsung" and then goes black and nothing else happens. I cant get it to start in bootloader or recovery mode either.
I am not sure if or how this is relevant, but I have been having issues with the power button, meaning that it wouldnt work when pressed except sometimes if I held it down long enough the "shut down/reboot" option showed up. In short I am not so convinced that it is working properly or maybe even at all.
Any help would be appreciated

Stupid suggestion, but try plugging the phone in to charge. I had some odd things happen to my phone where it would try to boot and continue to shut down. I knew I had charge on the battery, but when i plugged in the phone to the wall adapter, it acted like the battery did not have any power left. Once charged enough to boot, the phone would work fine.

So I have a verizon s4 (rooted) and it is bricked. If I take the battery out and put it back in the screen shows "Samsung" and then goes black and nothing else happens. I cant get it to start in bootloader or recovery mode either.
I am not sure if or how this is relevant, but I have been having issues with the power button, meaning that it wouldnt work when pressed except sometimes if I held it down long enough the "shut down/reboot" option showed up. In short I am not so convinced that it is working properly or maybe even at all.
Any help would be appreciated
