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?

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.

I have an HTC Amaze.
It boots fine although I see no logo or anything until I have to press the power button to turn screen off and back on to see lockscreen.
Tried the AIO kit to unlock bootloader and all that jazz. I get nowhere, says everything is done and then nothing is different except on the first
reboot it shows a green circle with arrows then moves to a red traingle with an exclamation point in the middle.
I have tried to put the RUU on the EXTERNAL SD and boot into HBOOT. Guess what, HBOOT is NOT there somehow. I can hold the volume down button and the power button down for the whole Obama administration and still get no HBOOT, not sound, boot, or vibtration, I can press these buttons in any combination known to man and still get no HBOOT. The AIO kit cannot boot me into HBOOT either.
I have tried the unbrick project instructions using Linux and my phone is not recognizeable apparently becuase it is not bricked per say.
All I want is to unlock this bootloader and load a custom ROM to improve some things like EXTREME lag and horrible battery life.
I have completed the AIO kit STEP BY STEP, HTC DEV UNLOCK ID and ALL....... Does anyone have any solid firsthand experience with these issues? Is my screen simply not working? If that is the case can you let me know which button combinations are required to have this RUU read and loaded in HBOOT if it is simply from me not being able to see the HBOOT screen.

Do a 60-sec battery pull.
Then WITHOUT pushing ANY buttons (incl soft-keys/touching the screen), put it back together & charge it. Overnight. With an AC-plug adapter.

Hook it up to the computer and try installing hboot using adb

what he said! honestly bypass any program and do adb commands to see.
I'm a electronics tech. and I've noticed a problem like that before. one of which was water damaged which was shorting out 2 pins on the lcd connector.
The other would only enter bootloader when using adb only

So your phone is 100% charged?
Because there is an issue with the Amaze that causes the exact black-screen behavior you have, caused by a dead battery getting stuck in a deadlock-condition between the power-on routine & the charging routine.
Yes 100%. How do I install hboot using adb? Any step by step process I can follow? Thank you.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Jvamps, the water damage sounds like a possibility. It's like everything is perfect but I just can't see hboot. When I boot normally I don't see anything until I notice the soft key bleedthrough then I press the power key to turn off screen and press it again and voila the lock screen. I don't see the boot screen at all.

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?

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?
