Hey guys, I have a really big problem here and I thought some of you might know what I could do. Search didn't find me anything.
So here's the situation: I've been running a rooted HOX+ for approx. 5 months now, mostly AOKP (shoutout to maxwen awesome ROM).
About a week ago, I installed ViperX+ and the EliteKernel OXP. Running fine, up to saturday evening. I was running low on battery, plugged the phone in last second. However, it shut down immediately afterwards (downanimation was shown though, so it didn't crash). Now it won't charge at all. The LED isn't even blinking :crying:
I tried plugging it in to various power supplies, also it can't be the cable (tried switchin' those too and it works on other phones). Plugging into PC doesn't work either.
I have no idea what to do or where this came from. I really hope somebody has an idea what this could be and how to solve it since i really don't want to lose my data and send it back to fix it (would that even be covered by warranty )
Appreciate your help and also, if this isn't in the right forum here, sorry mods and please move :angel:

Try to just let it plugged in for a couple of hours and then keep pressing the power button for 20-30sec and it should boot up again..
Hope that ends up working for you!

I dont think this will help you, but you could open up the device and then disconnect the battery. It is a 1s lipo, so you can charge it with a lipo charger that supports 1s lipos (maybe at your local hobby store) Then you solder it together again and you would be able to flash another Rom and Kernel. I know that this is Risky, but i think that this case is not covered by your guarantee.

Send it back for warranty. HTC wont even know you rooted it and chances are if they do, they wont even care they will just replace it. Thats what happend with my HTC One S
Ok guys, sorry for the fuss.
IT WAS THE MICRO-USB PORT! :banghead:
I stabbed around a bit and cleaned it. BAM! It works. Yaay!

Hello there. I´m worried because my Evo 3D CDMA won´t boot or charge at all. The red light is not turning on. All happened apparently with no reason, I left the phone there a few minutes, then it was dead. Maybe if I tell what I did before can help...
I had installed a few minutes ago the Virus ROM 3.0, I flash roms almost every 3 days, so I´m used to it. So, it worked fine after installation. I began to play a few games, when the battery died. I conected it to the charger, waited a few minutes and turned it on again (still plugged to the charger), it started normally. Then I had to answer a phone call, when I got back, the phone was dead!! "Maybe the charger got disconected" I thought. But the charger was fine, I tried many different chargers and nothing.
The red light is not turning on.
I´ve tried many different buttons combinations (camera+power), etc. I can´t get into fastboot (power+volume down). I´m S-ON HBOOt 1.5. So there is no CWM. I have to use windows CMD every time I need to flash Something.
Can this be a battery issue (considering that when the phone died it had about 3% of battery), or is it a fried motherboard, perhaps? It had happened before, but I removed the batttery for a few minutes and It worked.
But I´m scared because the phone is brand new, and it has less of two months of average using. And don´t tell me to go to Sprint service since I´m in El Salvador and I got the phone at eBay.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
My fiest EVO 3d did this, the guy told me that it was a lemon. I got a instant replacement, not sure if its in the discovered mode by a dev,
Pull the battery, unplug charger, then battery back in and try turn on.

Actually we have CDMA in El Salvador too... The rom installed fine, and was running fine, the phone died while.. let me remember... Ah, I was installing a Chainfire 3D plugin, but I had never problems with Chainfire in any rom before, so the big deal is,
1) Is it a faulty battery? I remember once, the battery died the red light started blinking. Maybe the battery is bad.
2) Is it hard bricked? or soft bricked?
3) If it is bricked, is there a way to restore it?

I doubt it was bricked due to the phone wouldn't boot at all when you got it.. Did you update the radios or software when you got it? I know the latest software for CDMA is 2.17 virus R75 to R80 3.0 eternity is based and built off it...
My guess is the battery is shot I would try that you can find them cheap..... So the red light doesn't come on at all when you plug it in with the battery in the phone..?
You would really have to spank a phone to brick it... If the hardware isn't broken you should be able to restore a bricked phone... That takes skill and alot of reading....
What other chargers did you try? Could be the usb cord is bad or the charger... Battery could be no good. Last thing it could be is a bad charger port... Maybe..

I got the phone brand new. I have
1) Unlocked bootloaders via HTC metod
2) Installed tons of roms (I`m a flashaholic)
3) Never installed an incorrect ROM or kernel.
And yes, no light at all when I plug the phone to the charger. it`s totally dead.
UPDATE
I have discovered something about a RUU. check it out:
"This is a link to the Evo stock RUU and a description of what it does. It isn’t anything that wasn’t available already online, I just like providing a central location to get everything.
What is this?
RUU is the way that our phones are flashed at the factory. It flashes all the factory images on to your phone.
What can I do with it?
You can use this to “unroot” your phone before sending it in for warranty work.
Use it to flash back to stock if you are having any random issues on your phone that you can’t fix.
It can 100% flash your phone back to how it came from the factory. As long as your phone turns on at all (even if it’s not booting) then you should be able to save it by using this.
This means your phone is virtually unbrickable, unless you go flashing a radio or SPL or something that you shouldn’t.
How do I use it?
Download the file below and run the exe.
What else do I need to know?
This will set your phone back to 100% bone stock.
You don’t need to run this unless you are trying to return your phone to stock. You won’t get anything special from running it."
IF I RUN THIS PROGRAM, IS IT POSSIBLE I CAN GET MY PHONE BACK TO LIFE?

Your phone would have to be on like in Hboot or in a rom....And need to fastboot flash stock recovery... or make it a zip file to do....
Also you would have to relock your phone.. Once it was relocked you could run this...
I am only going off what I have seen haven't had to relock my phone to throw stock on it... I have seen some guides in the dev section to do it.. But the phone has to be on to get the sucker to work,,,,
My guess is the battery is no good... If it's brand new I don't know why the charger port would be bad in it... I would try another battery first man...

Happened to me before. Try leaving it on charge for 8 hrs or so and remove the battery and replace every so often. BTW I got it on virus eternity as well. Also, I would get an extended battery to kill two birds with one stone if the previous method doesn't work.

Hello guys, I'm experimenting the same issue! It was working like a charm, then I left without simcard in airplane mode, but with wifi on.
When out from wifi coverage, it turned off (maybe because of the battery drain) and can't bring it back to life!
This is just incredible, I can't believe there is no way to wake up it.
I'm trying to charge with its charger, with PC connection and nothing happens: red light for a little while and everything off again after a couple of seconds ... I'm getting nervous :-(
I don't think the phone is bricked or a bad battery. When you plug the charger in, turn the light off in the room and see if the phone charging led is very dim. Sometimes when my battery is very low and I put it in the charger it does this. The other scenario is that the phone may be in download mode which I doubt. If it is then you can follow the last steps from the hboot 1.50 downgrade guide.

Have you tried "adb reboot recovery" just to see what happens?
Hello! Every one
I'm having a weid issue with my phone I already search the forum and a few threads appear but nothing that could help me....
I flashed a ICS rom a few days ago... and my phone started to shut off when I shake it or something that could move it hard and sometimes it just shut off doing absolutley nothing...
At first I tought it was a kernel problem or a bad flash problem so I returned to stock with Odin and the problem stills there... When Im on Recovery It also shut off from any kind of shaking...
I change battery with some friend and my battery is working just fine.. when I put my friends battery in my Vibrant still shut off when shaking...
So my question is... could be a software problem? or is it a Hardware problem?...
Any help would be awesome!...
Thanks guys! (sorry for my bad english )
you need to put something inbetween the battery like some cotton or something to keep it in place your battery is falling out of place even though your cover is on

I messed with one that if the top left corner of the phone got tweaked just a little (can happen in your pocket) the phone would shut off.
Thought it was very strange, tried everything with it. After googling and reading I found that it was/is pretty common and I never found a solution.
Hi all, i want to know methods how different people saved this issue on amaze, i have but i cant fix it i tried different methods, but all that help only for some time. I opened this thread for other people(i think many people experience this problem) for finding the fix.Thanks for reading and answering.
There is no way to answer such a general question like this with such limited detail. There are so many things that can cause random reboots: bad battery, problem with an app, rom, kernel, etc. How r we suppose to be able to know what is causing your reboots, you didn't even say what your phone's current setup is: unlocked/locked, custom rom/stock, cust kernel/stock, etc.
A lot of amaze owners have had problems with battery going bad and random reboots being one of the issues. So that may be one thing to try. Good luck

Go back to stock.
Learn/read more about what you're doing when modding your device.
Maybe try again
Problem solved
Nobody with any knowledge is having random reboots. Its usually the people who flashed a ROM incorrectly, is using an unstable ROM build, over/under clocked their CPU too much or under volted their CPU too much. I never once had a random reboot that i didnt provoke (which means it wasn't random) unless I was using an unstable ROM.

Battery caused my randoms. Anker took care of it. Or you can opt for OEM but most likely happen again.

But after returning to stock i am only having reboots at nearly 20%, and it is like phone trying to confidure, to calibrate its battery, it is rebooting 2 times, it shows 5% and there are no more reboots. I tried to calibrate no help. Ill try to bye anker battery, not to change and i cant buy in armenia, there is no htc shop or centre, but what if i put sensation battery? Because, the choice for sensation is bigger.

OK, I THINK I MIGHT HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION!!!!!!!
I bought an Anker battery. After a while, it will start doing the random reboot things. The cool thing is, the Anker batteries come with an external charger. If I take the battery out of the phone and use the charger, it seems to "reset" the battery so it works fine for a while.
I'm startting to think there is an issue with the charging system on the phone - who knows.
thank!!!

One Quick Solution
Okay so this is just one quick solution for those specific people out there that have had random reboots on EVERY ROM they try. A good friend of mine had constant reboots even on modified stock ROMs like Revolution HD which I have never had rebooting issues. We noticed the battery was easily removed when taking off the backing so we inserted a paper index card on the bottom to decrease the gap and make the fit slightly tighter. We just cut an index card to about the size of an inch in length and the same width as the battery compartment and then folded it in an L shape inserted it in the bottom of the battery slot and his phone has seen nearly 0 reboots since doing this. Seems like a dumb issue but it is worth a try especially if your Amaze has taken some physical abuse.
Still having problems. No idea what to try anymore. Might have to bite the bullet and get another phone. Never again HTC.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Wife had the same problems...
a little background of her Amaze issues:
- tmobile stock ICS ROM, not rooted, about 16 months old.
- after about a year random reboots begin and get more frequent, sometimes 6-7 times daily
- replaced with new Anker battery. problems go away for about 2 weeks
- after about a month, phone no longer charges (no orange light) using the original ac adapter and usb cable
- gave in and called HTC (from htc.com:United States/English/+1-866-449-8358/08:00 - 01:00 ET (7 days a week))
- got a RMA number and paid for shipping (~ $6 with Insurance at USPS) to Texas
- HTC returned her Amaze (same IMEI number), fixed under warranty. Not exactly sure what they replaced/fixed as they did not provide details.
If you're in a last resort type of situation, give them a call...you never know! Since being fixed, it's been rooted and NRG ICS Blue ROM and 4EXT recovery flashed, just like mine. All is great...for now... If Amaze dies again, not sure what phone to get next.
Hi all,
Need your help with an issue.
I have this HTC Desire 4G (Asian non-branded, non-carrier version).
I had successfully rooted, S-off'ed, Super CID and then had gradually upgraded to ICS and then installed Cyanogen 10.1, which was working perfectly since 2 weeks or so.
Just today, I encountered this strange problem, when for some reason I turned it off and then tried to turn it on again, it never did!
Even the led charge light is not showing up. It seems like dead!! But for no known reason.
I have exchanged the battery with new and charged ones, almost tried every trick and every step which could be done. Its even not running into boot-loader.
Yesterday, my brother's same phone was almost dead when the s-off for his phone went wrong during the wire trick. We got rid of this problem by removing the internal small cell and putting it back, and the phone was alive again.
Will it work for my phone as well? or will I have to do something else?
Please help!! its very frustrating

Zeeshan

Your device is probably bricked. If it was showing a 'QHSUSB_DLOAD' driver issue when you connected it to your pc then the Amaze unbrick project would've helped.
Where did you buy this phone? In Lahore?

hey, i encountered the same problem. i was running cm10.1 and when i restarted my amaze it didn't reboot after turning off. eventually when i took it to a repair shop i discovered that there was a problem in the power ic of the phone and the that the internal storage had become corrupt so to repair that it cost me about Rs1500 . where do you live? in lahore? if so you should go to the gol market in dha y block and go to a shop named world mobile. they have all the tools and stuff for these kind of problems.
Rom- s5 sensations version 7
I was using my phone for the past two weeks with no problem, all of a sudden today it would not unlock, I held down the power button then a screen with all these different colours came up
It eventually went away and the screen went black again
Now nothing works it ill not power on and LED wont come on when charging
Can the phone have been hard bricked after 2 weeks of installing the custom rom? :/
Thanks in advance

Hi! This herna from XDA Assist.
Well, normally if you did not touch any deeper thing in your ROM you should have no problem if you have been using it for as much time. Anyway this question should be done in the above thread, so I will move it there so you can get a better reply from people using the same device or even the same ROM than you.

I will move it to the original place where it should be, and wish you to get the answer you are waiting for.
Try usb jig to force download mode, if that doesn't work then it sounds like a brick -sorry.

I just dont understand how it could be bricked after being perfectly fine for 2 weeks and i had been using it like 5 minutes before no problem :/
Blame the emmc chip, it is very fragile and can go pop at any moment.
Try reading the dead boot recovery thread in general forum.
