is it bricked? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

hey guys i got a EVO 4g LTE, was on JellyBean. I followed the root/recovery/bootloader unlock thread. did everything fine, and everything was ok. then i did a nandroid back up, wiped everyting and installed a MeanROM-ICS-v65-jewel-ltevo rom on it. now it wont turn on! wont even boot into recovery. When i hold the power button it only flashes the bottom 3 key (back power and double square) same thing when i do power and vol down, only flashes the 3 key and thats it. Am i screwed?

If you have lights then you are not bricked. Hold the power button down for 30 seconds until they stop blinking before releasing power press and hold volume down. I then release power continue holding volume down and you should get into bootloader

How long are you holding it? Make sure you hold power volume down at the same exact time.

try pressing and holding volume dwn first and keep holding then press and hold power to the power button till hboot appears works like a charm for me..ir its in a case take it out of case and try
I usually hold the volume rocker down before powering up. Try to hit em at the same time is a hard one

Do a battery pull then out battery back in. Then hold down the volume button and keep it down
press the power button several times that's what works for mine any way.

some times when im plugged into the wall or ubs/computer it doesnt go
If you have the fast power on option checked in power settings I think that prevents you from booting into hboot unless you do a battery pull.

Soft reset stop

I am stock rooted and would like to my phone not to soft reset when the power button is held down. I still want it to turn on and off the screen but nothing else.... Can any one do that????

You kind of need that if S**T hits the fan with a non removable battery.

Go to Settings>Power>Uncheck fastboot. If you press power button screen will turn off/on. If you hold down few seconds you'll get powerdown option. If you hold down approximately 10 seconds it will do a reset ("similar" to battery pull-reboot).

i think we should find out if a dev can change it to Vol up + Power to make it reboot instead of holding down the power button. thats how my xoom gets rebooted
To hard reset a frozen EVO lte you have to hold the power button and volume down...
I don't want that to change.... What I want is for the phone not reset if just the power button is held down for 10sec.

[Q] No display after attempted .28 update

Hi guys,
I tried to update my BONE STOCK Prime to the .28 update. I walked away for about a hour, came back and the screen is black, and nothing I do can turn the thing on.
I've done the following.
Held the power button from 2-120 seconds
Held Power Button + Vol Down from 10-120 Seconds
Pushed the Reset button for 30 seconds.
The only kind of response from the tablet I get is a vibration. The screen never turns on.
Does anybody have any other ideas that my get this thing started back up?
Hold vol up and down and power for a short while before the vibraation occurs. Then release vol up and you should be good. May take several trys.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work.
Any other ideas out there?
let it drain completely so when holding power button it doesn't vibrate etc.
charge for 5 minutes. does red battery icon come on?
hold paperclip pinhole in for 30 seconds. release. does it boot or is it still black screen.
if still black screen, contact Asus. you may have it stuck in APX mode.

Prime Wont boot

So I have a standard vanilla prime except I rooted it to be able to hook up my six axis. Other than that it is as stock as you can get with OTA updates.
My problem is that last night it crashed on me and wouldn't turn on from the power button so I let it sit overnight figuring I'd deal with it the next day. And today it's not booting up. I have tried charging it, pressing and holding the power button for 10 and 60 second intervals, and holding the vol down button with the power button. Nothing is turning it on. Thanks for any help you can give.

[Q] Stuck with CM10 spinning around

I unlocked my HOX+ today and rooted the phone. All went well, however I flashed my first rom the CM10 international and flashed the kernel, however the phone is stuck at the CM10 logo stage.
I have no idea how to get back in to recovery. I can;t even power down the phone so that I can re-install a nandroid backup of my original rom. The CM10 logo is just spinning around. Normally I would pull the battery but!!!
Help please
Devices with non-removable batteries have hardware key combinations to manually reboot the phone. With the One X+ that combination just so happens to be Power Button + Volume Down. Just hold those keys until you see the hboot screen.
Thanks.
It took several attempts of holding down those buttons, eventually it restarted and I was able to access recovery.

Just holding the power button will reboot phone, once the phone vibrates then hold vol down aswell. I find thats the best way to get back to the BL after a bad flash
