I was running a CM9 build, and my battery got low. Out of nowhere it shut off(rather than powering down) when I still had 10-15% battery left. I figured no big deal, I'd just pop my other battery in. Nothing. Plugged it in to charge(with both batteries), nothing. Can't get to Hboot or recovery as of now. Anything? Anyone?
Crisis averted. I have no idea what the hell happened, but I popped the full battery back out and back in a few times, and then it randomly worked. That was scary as hell. I've never seen it do anything like that before.
Wow that's certainly strange.. Glad you didn't brick though

As do I. I was going DEFCON 1 for a little bit. Hope to never have that happen again.
Same thing happened to me on clean ROM 4.5. A couple times, I have also seen the problem here before. The phone doesn't like to go dead for some reason but it always came back on after awhile with a new battery or starts charging after sitting plugged in awhile. I have just been switching batteries as soon as its low.

I don't understand why putting a new battery in though doesn't immediately solve it though. I had heard of people having charging issues after it died, but not with a new battery in. Lesson learned though. Ha.
Note to self: do not let phone die. It will get even by causing you to have a mini stroke

I believe it has something to do with the the board holding a charge without a battery. I have had it happen to me a couple of times. If you wait 5 to 10 minutes, if begins charging. It scared me the first time it happened to me.

Luckily it randomly decided to work. I think what may have caused it is that I used my extended battery(only 1980 mAh) for the first time in a while, so the battery was misreading the percentage, and actually fully discharged. Still doesn't explain why a fully charged battery wouldn't boot it though. *shrugs*

When my phone is powered off and charging, it boots into Clockwork Recovery. I remember this being a problem with another HTC device, possibly MT4G, but I thought it had been fixed in an update. Is anyone else experiencing this issue, and if so, is there a fix for it?

Thanks for your reply as well, and you're right, it still appears to charge in Clockwork, but for battery calibrating purposes, it's good to charge the phone while completely powered off. I'll try the battery pull, if it doesn't work, it's not really a big deal.

Assuming you are rooted, since it doesn't happen on un-rooted Thunderbolts. As previously stated, hopefully it's just a matter of time and code to resolve it.

I tried the fix posted above, but it still goes into CW. I'm just leaving it on while it charges. It charges slower, but oh well. I ordered the 3 batteries + charger for $12 off Ebay, so whenever those come in I wont be doing as much charging in the phone anyway.

Sent From My HTC Thunderbolt!!!
Ok sorry if this has already been discussed but I'm kinda in a hurry. I'm having an issue where if I tell the phone to reboot or even power off, it will just turn off and not come back up without a battery pull. Last time I told it to reboot (fastboot off btw), it turned off, then the red led came on for a few seconds, then it just stayed off. I've noticed that the only way around this is to pull the battery and then try to boot it up, which works fine but is annoying as hell. Is this a common issue or what, trying to get some opinions on whether or not to try to exchange it before I get off work and go outta town.
Try a factory reset. Still no luck, then take it back

Well, I hanging on to this 3VO for right now at least, still hoping to hear from more people. Actually, I hope this isn't a real problem with the 3D's in general and that mine is a somewhat isolated incident. Bad comes to worse, I swap for a new one or the GS2 at the end of the month.
I had that problem for a day on mine, and after that it never happened again.

I really hope i dont have to return my phones... My wife mentioned it to me that her phone wasnt rebooting any more when she presses restart an i tried it on mine an it wont do it any more either. Maybe its just a update
I have the same problem after restarting I had to pull battery. I think its just a bug the phone works perfect other than that.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
so, ive discussed IMO a very nasty thing about this phone I dont like. Of course my goal is to not let my battery die. But it has happened to me a few times. Im finding that after the battery dies, It takes me about 20 minutes to get the phone powered back on. Even if it is plugged into a power outlet. It simply does nothing for about 20 minutes after it is plugged in. Doesnt respond to power button, battery pull, etc.
So..I thought, maybe its a measure like blackberries where they wont power the radio back on until the battery reaches "x" percent. Doesnt seem to be the case either.
Ive had many HTC devices including the OG Evo, never seen anything like this...any ideas?
It's a mystery to me as well. It's happened a couple times to me. The only way I could power it on is by letting it sit on the charger for several minutes.
I think it might have to do with the way we rooted them. The developer mentioned an issue with letting the power go dead. It may not be a problem if you are in fast boot mode.
Hmmm...............

Mine has a problem powering on while it is charging. I'll have to take out the battery and unplug it to get it to turn on.
im finding out that people who are using cwm have a problem charging with power off. Im using twrp so Im sure this doesnt pertain to me..but its got to be something kernel or recovery related. im gonna ask over in vipers thread and see what kind of answers I get
Happens to me often as well. When I plug mines in, its usually good to go about 2 minutes after the red light stops blinking.

I just ended up trading mine in for a refund. I found the 3d offered very little over the original Evo, and mine had worse reception and call quality than the original. I am now using a nexus s until a better phone comes out.
My friend and I both have Rezounds. I have yet to get the update, he had Scott's ICS ROM on his. The update forced itself onto his phone and bricked it. When he went to the store, the reps told him the update seems to be doing this to alot of people (rep said they saw 10 of them today!). Anyone else have the OTA brick a ROM's phone or even stock?

No, but I am sure if you have a custom recovery on your phone with a custom rom an official update sure isn't going to help ..but I figured it would just error out. How did it brick it ? he was unable to load Hboot anymore ?
It went to the HTC screen and stayed there, when tried to go-to recovery it wouldn't work, eventually screen went black and wouldn't turn on, or even charge!

Could you get into hboot and run the ruu? If you can do that, the phone isn't bricked...

I suspect the no charging is due to running the battery down all the way. There's a thread or two about that issue. I think the solution was to pull the battery, plug in the charger then put the battery back in while phone is connected to charger. Then you might have to wait up to 30 minutes for the light to turn on and for it to start charging.
And yeah, if you can boot into hboot you should be able to get the phone back with RUU or if the ROM is fine then flash Amon Ra recovery in fastboot.
It didn't allow anything to be done in hboot. It won't even turn on now, i have him my battery to try and still doesn't turn on.

Well read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434532
and see if you can at least get it charged up again. Then go from there.
Both me and my wife have had the OTA for at least a week and we have not had any issues with the OTA.
Also, I must say, this is the first time I have heard of the OTA causing bricking of the unit.
If you can't get it charged, try the writing hack to get it involved. Basically you just take a regular usb cable and snip the connector off. From there you take the ground and the power, and then you put the ground and power to the battery in the respective places. Worked for a bad Atrix flash that killed my battery.

I hadn't heard of it bricking it till I saw it first hand... As far as charging, it's a non issue since I have my friend my fully charged battery to try and wouldn't turn on. (Note that this is happened only after it stayed on the HTC screen for about 30 minutes, so it may have overheated or something during that time?)

I don't think you can write off the battery/charging issue. It takes some time for people who have let their battery fully drain to get the phone to charge it again although they were able charge on an external charger iirc. Anyway, point is it may be the phone not the battery that needs to "wake up" (for lack of a better term) again.
So definitely go through that dead battery charging thread and try everything in there to get the phone to charge the battery again. Then you'll know the phone is functioning as it should, atm it may not be.
I don't understand how the the OTA forced itself since all of Scotts ROMs are debloated. Everyone that rooted and debloated running stock, said that the update failed in recovery, I know I witnessed it on mine. Being on an ICS build, one would think that the update wouldn't even be downloaded.
yeah it is strange. Even if I force check for update on my Rez the update doesn't come. Are you sure your friend is telling you the whole story?

I am said friend.
Durthquake sits in the cube next to me. He watched the whole event transpire.
Here's what happened and what was tried and the resolution,
Rezound reboots to the HTC screen. Won't show the think brilliantly words. Just stayed on HTC.
So I did a battery pull and rebooted phone and same thing. Just HTC.
Now I reboot to recovery, get hboot and try to do a wipe. It blinks like its going to try to go to recovery then turns off.
Do another battery pull boot maneuver and it does the same thing.
As we are at work I did have to work so I leave it on the stock wall charger for about an hour and try to turn on again. HTC screen so I leave it to see what happens, maybe I didn't wait long enough.
Like 35 minutes later screen goes black.
Now it won't power on, won't go to hboot, basically a brick. So I pull my battery give it to durthquake who gives me his rezound battery. His phone turns on, mine doesn't.
Now I try pulling sim, sdcard, and putting my battery back in. Still nada. Phone be properly bricked.
Bring it home put sim, sdcard, and battery back in and put on HTC wall charger overnight. In the am nothing. Still a pretty beats brick.
Go to vzw and the try charging turning on etc. Nada. They say since the ota they've had about 5 of these in.
The resolution is vzw sending me a new rezound and I buying a new phone so I can give the resound to my gf.

Don't let your phone uncharged if you got 5% that's a warning sing you need to plug the charged the soon as possible i have so much problem with new photon because now. hopefully it save somebody time.
I have a rooted Photon that I let totally die one day by accident.
No problem - plugged in charger for awhile and it booted fine.

Has to be more to the story because many times mine has been drained to the point it shuts off and it's fine.
My first thought is something to do with if you've used the bootstrap recovery. That hijacks part of the boot process and wont allow the phone to be turned off and charge from a wall outlet but a USB outlet will work fine.
That's my 2 pennies ...

i have had my mopho die quite a few times...alsmost every few days with no probs. not sure what happened with yours, but it is deff not and should not be an issue.
Yeah, I can't even count how many times I've used my phone till it turns off, and on a few occasions after having it turn off on its own I've turned it on again still without plugging in to try and kill it just a little more, for calibration ideas I had run across and was trying. Still wall charged and powered up without issue though.
Maybe you have a bad battery?
