alright heres what i did i connected my phone to the computer, put 3 kernels on the external sd card to flash later, i disconnnected it and my mom called, so i taled to her for 3 mins, hung up and killed all the running apps (hold home and just killed them) then held down power to reboot into recovery to flash them. phone turned off, and never turned back on.... i had 29% battery before i shut it off, i plug it into charge cause i thought maybe it was too dead and woulednt turn on, but it still wont boot. there not even the orange light on the front. its just dead. i pulled the battery and still nothing. just wont boot into anything or screen wont even turn on.....
WHAT DO I DO!?!?!
the kernels all came from well known DEV's which shouldent matter, because i never flashed any of them. i only just hit the power button and then hit boot into recovery.

HELP!!!!
Take the battery completely out, and plug the USB into your computer. Press the power and volume down buttons at the same time and hold until you see the white hboot screen. Go into recovery and go to "other". Put your battery in, wait a sec, and select "check battery level". That will tell you if it is dead.

Make sure to put the battery back in after it goes to the white hboot screen
Edit: nevermind
Probably a hardware issue. Call verizon I guess

It shouldn't when it is off.
Scratch what I said, you have to have battery in to get to hboot, but can remove it once there.
Were you s-off?
Plug into to a wall outlet and let it charge for an hour or so...then try powering it up.

leave it plugged into a wall for an hour. when you get back, if the orange light still isn't on, you're f'ed. i've seen that problem with rezounds before. they just die for some reason.

Yea, it sounds like your charge may have been low. Just a note to everyone, make sure you have a full charge before flashing (anything really). It's a good rule of thumb, even if you are using USB to flash. USB typically doesn't supply enough juice for our devices especially when flashing.
My charge was pretty much full when I started, and the process only lasted about 5 minutes before I went out.
I have it plugged into AC charger now but still no response.
I did notice that when I turn it on while battery is not in it I get the green LED light in top right corner of phone.
When I hit the power button the light goes out. If I have battery in and plug in I get no green light. Just seems to be when without battery and prior to hitting any buttons.

No that does not work either if thats what you mean.
I really can't seem to get any response at all.
The only thing I seem to be able to figure out how to make it do is turn on a green LED in top right of phone when I plug it into a usb charger without the batter in. AC charger does not turn on light. Once power button is touched green light goes away.
HOpefully this means there is something I can do.. The light at the end of the tunnel lol

Have you tried just letting it sit for a while with the green light flashing? Some reason I think that mine did that (a long time ago) when I soft bricked pre-pudding. So, if that doesn't work, you may be pooched. I assume the computer doesn't recognize it either?

I believe it was just the unlocker (zomgunlock-lite.sbf)
And no the computer does not recognize it... I will try letting it set for awhile with the green light and see what it does. I have to have the battery out to get this green light, would the phone theoretically start without a battery in it but plugged into usb port?

I have 2 3d's one just rooted with teamwin recovery and one stock not rooted. I noticed on the rooted phone that if it is powered off and charging it will not power up while the phone is plugged into the charger. If you unplug it , it then powers up normal. The unrooted phone does not exhibit this behavior and will power up if you turn it on while its off and on the charger. Any ideas as to why? Should this be a concern?

Mine powers up fine, I do need to wait until I see the light turn orange after it turns off until I can power it on though

Are you using teamwin recovery? SHip Hboot or ENG Hboot? And what orange light? I power off my phone, then plug it into the charger and the light then turns red to indicate charging. I then attempt to hit the power button to turn the phone on and it will not power up. I have to unplug it to get it to turn on.
I can confirm 2 other people experiencing this same issue. Anybody else?
I have experienced this as well.
I am wondering if this is an issue related to getting s-off or if this is something with recovery. I ask only because I read clockwork recovery not being able to charge at all while the phone is turned off... Any ideas?
Same here, one more thing i noticed that's different since s off, when phone is off you plug in the charger, the olight comes on for a millisecond not bright at all, then it comes on one more time - regular brightness for 2 sec, turns off, then it comes on again and stays. anyone else has then same thing, it seams very weird for me. btw i had cw recovery, didn't charge while off, so i installed tw, and i am using the ship boot.
Ive had the problem where the phone wouldnt charge when powered off. Turns out the problem was with Clockwork. This problem may be related. You could try using Team Wins recovery if your on CW.

I am getting the same result with Stock non-rooted and non-temp rooted s-off. Wanted to check for you all before I rooted. I had the phone plugged in to my laptop, booted into fastboot (power button-vol down) to verify my hboot version. Powered down using fastboot menu, and tried to boot it back up, the red light came on like it was charging but never turned on.
tgruendler, so you phone doesn't power on or goes to hboot even without you doing the whole s off.

That is odd, I have another non rooted 3d which boots up normal. Give it about 15 seconds after it powers down and it should power back up while plugged in.
I just applied the Clockwork Recovery 4.0.1.5 to fix the Charge Problem with Fastboot Off. That works now. To get 4.0.1.5 Get Clockwork ROM Manager from Market and Install Recovery using it.
But I ran into the Powerup problem discussed here.
But I found a work around.
Boot it into the Bootloader.
Hold Power and Volume down and it will come up !! Better than taking the back cover off.
Strange but true. I tried it several times.

Not sure how you are doing this... maybe you have fastboot checked? Turn off phone, plug charger into phone. Wait until the red light turns on solid. Give it about 15 seconds after plugged in. With the charger still plugged in, try turning on the phone. Mine as well as several others are unable to power on until we unplug the charger and then power up.

Same for me op. I used twrp.
The market was acting a little flaky on my Evo3D, so I thought I'd reboot the phone. I recently flashed ViperROM RC 1.3, so now I get the option to "Hot Restart". Sure, why not I thought. So I choose the "Hot Restart" option. And my phone never came back on.
Tried every combination I could think of, pulled the battery, held the power button down for a minute, held volume down and the power button.. Nothing happens. No flickering of the screen, no lights, nothing.
If I plug it into AC, the charge light comes on red, stays red for a few seconds, turns green, then turns off. The battery was fully charged when I tried to reboot it.
If I plug it into a PC, and issue an "adb devices", I get the following:
D:\Downloads>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT16CHX00895 recovery
Recovery?!?
I can adb shell into the phone, and it looks like I have root (I get a "/ #" prompt).
I can push/pull from the phone.
I tried all combinations of adb reboot (with and without bootloader or recovery), and while it does reboot the phone (and the screen DOES flicker at this point), it just goes dark and again and appears to shut down (but adb devices still shows it as in recovery mode).
After about a minute, the phone appears to go to full sleep mode, and adb disconnects.
I've searched google and xda-developers, and can't find ANYTHING about this.
Anyone have ANY ideas???
Getting desperate here folks!

This happened to me as well. I dont really remember how I got phone to turn on but I did. Try pulling battery for longer duration. I do know that I pulled the battery. I will try and think more of what I did when it happened to me. So you cant get into the bootloader or recovery?

I pulled the battery, let it sit for about 2 minutes, held the power button down for 15 seconds, put the batter back in, hit the power button again for 5 seconds. Nothing.

Sometimes you'll need to hold the power button down for more than ten seconds, with the battery in of course.

Try what the other poster said. When I read it I kind of remember holding the power button in for a little once I replaced the battery after the pull. I recall holding the power button for more than 5 sec, letting go then hit power again and it finally came on. If that doesnt work maybe you can pm the dev from viperrom and ask for help.

can you read anything on your sd card when you plug in the usb? I would guess not if you cant see the screen to choose storage instead of charge only. Sounds like somehow flashing a stock update.zip would get you going again, I just wouldnt know how to do it. Can you put your sd card in an adapter for pc to get the PG86100 image on it then place it back into your phone and run it from bootloader?

So, hboot works, adb works...does fastboot work?
Either way, I'd flash a recovery and a rom....I was also thinking maybe refresh hboot, but, if you are getting to the bootloader I don't think it's corrupted, but, maybe the other parts are....
I'd start with recovery and a rom...if no luck there flash another hboot on top. I'm a big fan of the eng hboot.
Problem solved!
It was the battery, somehow. When I got home from work, I swapped out the chinese knockoff battery with the original stock battery, hit the power button, and it started right up. Swapped out for the same knockoff battery, and it won't start again. WTF?
Anyway, thanks everyone for your suggestions, I appreciate it!

when the battery gets depleted completely you need to charge it a while for it to be able to start up again may be thats what happened...
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.

WAs going to charge the phone this morning and put it in the charger and fixed breakfast for about 10 min.
Went back to the phone and the screen was black and the led light is shining green. And now i cant manage to turn the screen on Any ideas?
The led light is on even when the charger is plugged out i cant get the screen on, neither recovery or download mode
press volume down and power until you get a response from screen, then release power and keep pressing volume down. It will boot into safemode. You can try to figure out what went wrong from there or just reboot the phone

Yes... Put it over the night and still not working.. Tried charging my old S4 and it worked..
Even changed charger to be sure and left it for 3 hours and still nothing
Really have no idea what happend.. Just put it in the charger and then completely dead...
I'm thinking about reporting it stolen and pay about 85 dollar to get a new one!
very strange..and it doesn't smell..i mean burned..?

No, nothing...
I'm gonna let the phone rest this night and then try starting tomorrow and put it in the charger again.. Really hate that you can't open the phone like the old s4
So I have phone that won't start.. Any idea what to use it for?
Is it impossible to access the internal memory?

Not unless you know what part is defective and how to unsoulder memory chip and have a machine that can read it. Why dont you just send it for warranty?
