My HTC Rezound has always been a little iffy on the battery side. No matter what i did, the battery would usually day 3 quarters of the way through the day. I learned to accept this. My problem now is that the phone died after being run down to 0% and when i try to charge it back up, all i get is a blinking orange light and the phone will not start up. I have tried removing the battery. I even left it charging for 3 days and it still wont charge up enough to boot up the phone. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?
Is it acknowledging the charger is plugged in? Have you tried a different USB cable AND wall socket?

I have tried both a different charger and wall socket but neither worked. I am rooted s-off with Amon Ra recovery installed.

IIRC The Rezound uses and Odd Voltage Battery, which sometimes throws off the calibration. When this happens the phone can drain the battery past the safe level for recharging. The phone is in battery safety mode atm.
Its been a long time since I've had to do this... Happened to me once when I got my phone in Nov '12 lol
Follow these steps EXACTLY Do NOT Deviate
1) Remove the battery Completely
2) Wait 1 hour
3) Place the battery Back in the phone, DO NOT PRESS THE POWER BUTTON
4) Place the battery on the charger. You SHOULD see a blinking red light
5) Leave the phone alone until the Red Light has been solid for at least 20 minutes
6) Power the phone on and let it fully charge
7) Restart into Recovery Mode and wipe battery stats.

I tried your solution but the blinking red light never turns into a solid red light. It just keeps blinking no matter how long I leave it on the charger.

Just curious, what's the voltage say on the back of the battery?
If I remember right the rez initially had a slightly lower voltage battery when it came out.

Hmm I am wondering if the battery is shot. I do know I had a similar issue with mine and ended up buying a separate wall charger just for the battery. I would charge it for 5-10 mins and then pop it back in the phone to finish charging.

So, I did S-Off yesterday, flashed the SU binary yesterday. Did NAND backup for good measure. All great and all.
Today, I wake up and phone is off. Realized I forgot to charge it. Plugged into charger, and orange light comes on, turns off for about 2 seconds, turns on again. 10 minutes plugged in, Pune won't turn on. Took out and licked the battery terminals. It has juice.
Noticed that now the light doing quick flash of orange quick flash of green. None of buttons do anything.
Any ideas?
Leave it charge for about 1 hour, then try to boot up. If you have a battery dock use that, if not just plug in and let it sit.
edit.....i just seen another thread where the phone doesnt charge while off, what recovery are you using? I have the twrp (TeamWin Recovery) and it is charging while phone is off.

The team win recovery. I did a crude battery test (licking terminals) and it should have sufficient juice to boot up
Unplug it and turn it on, its not bricked. But it wont turn on as long as its plugged in.

that would be my thread.
It was suggested on that thread that I use a different recovery (using CWM at the moment), but I see that the person who is having this same problem is using TeamWin recovery and has the same issue, so I'm guessing that it's not the recovery itself but some other reason.

It's because HTC won't allow charging with the phone off (trickle charge) due to the fact it kills battery cells fast and HTC doesn't like replacing batteries. Keep fastboot on in power menu and you will be able to charge with "phone off"...because it truly isn't off.....

Once I had my phone drain so low it died (not just turned itself off) and when I hooked up the charger, it took several minutes for the indicator light to come on and go into charging mode. Have you left it on the OEM charger for several minutes?

Yep, mine also started as white and evidently that means a completely drained battery. It changed to green and started charging soon after.

After about 15-20 minutes the phone booted up on its own. Just an FYI for anyone who thinks there phone is not working after it dies.
I've had this problem too. I just figured, it's a SMARTphone, it'll figure itself out This has easily happened to me over 5 times, and phone still works fine and holds over a day charge.
My Evo 3D's is dead Wont turn on, if you plug it into the comuter it keeps connecting and disconnecting. Red light comes on for a few seconds when plugged into the charger.

Everything was working fine...i know the battery is completely dead but like i said when i plug it in the charger the red light comes on for about 5 seconds then it goes off and wont come on again. He was gonna put a ROM on it and root it but i have to get it flashed to the metro network. He put it on mobilego i guess to backup my info but he had it on other programs, told me i needed it flashed first then gave it back to me.its been on the charger for about 2 hrs now and no charge still
Maybe he bricked it?

Did it boot yet? For me, if the battery dies, I have to pull it out, put it back and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before it starts up again.

I would like to know if you can access recovery with the phone without a battery but with the charger on.
To access the boot menu, make sure the phone is off and press pwr + vol down. If you can access the recovery menu then there is still hope.

Sounds like battery issues... The phone thinks the battery is dead... Pull the battery out and leave it for about 20 mins or so, throw it back in, don't power it up and plug it in, let it sit for awhile(red led should stay lit) after like 20 mins turn it on

Had the same issue try plugging it into the charger for a couple mins remove the battery replace the battery plug it back in and repeat 6-7 times then hold power and volume buttons. If not leave the battery out for like an hour then try the first step. I know it sounds stupid but it worked for me. Hope it helps.

I'm on cleanROM 3.7 and everything so far is running GREAT. Recently I wiped the battery stats using Scott's tweaks, of course after a full charge and then unplugging for a full drain without charge, as with other battery calibrations on previous devices I've owned or used. After charging without break, I cannot reach a 100% charge, it stops at 99%. I am now not so sure about charging overnight as I suspect the battery/device might overheat since a 100% charge does not seem to be attainable. Anyone know about this issue?
Does the light go green?

You might want to take a gander at the following post

Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing)
That thread might be useful if it said anything about a 99% charge. Usually the little LED light turns from orange to yellow when it becomes fully charged at 100%. The light is staying orange and will not display 100%, only 99%.

Ok, so I turned my phone off last night before charging and I was able to attain the yellow LED light indication for a full charge but when I power on my device it boots up almost immediately. It skips the HTC screen and goes straight to my custom boot animation and then boots up. When the device boots up any other time I get the white HTC screen and everything like normal.

*Edit*
That's because you have fastboot checked in settings. Pull the battery, put it back in, then charge til green. If its any consolation though my battery does the same thing with the phone on it gets to 99 and hangs, but I've found that if I reboot it while on the charger it will turn green within about 10 minutes of being back on. Usually I don't worry about it being at 100% because when it actually is at 100% it goes back to 99% like 10 seconds after I unplug it. But to sum up, pull the battery b4 you charge and put it back in or uncheck fastboot then power off anand charge.

why pull the battery? why not simply uncehck fastboot??
I try not to ever pull my battery..
adb reboot if needed will work 99% of the time if you're by your computer.

Well I usually just hold the power button and push reboot if the phone needs rebooting. You probably know but you cant also hold power + volume up + volume down for about 5 seconds and it will also reboot itself. I was just trying to tell him the different ways to get the phone to completely turn off. That's why I suggested two different ways. But yes as Andy said, unchecking fastboot should be the easiest way.

So I've been running CM9 nightlies on my phone for a for a while now and everything has been working great. I believe the last nightly I flashed was 5/12 or around there and I've had no problems with it so far until last night my battery was about to die. So I plugged it in to my computer to charge overnight. This morning when I woke up I noticed the phone was dead and was pretty warm to the touch. Now it won't turn on.
I have tried pulling out the battery and letting them both sit for about 30min but it still won't turn on. When I put the battery in and try turning it on the charging icon pops up for a second or 2 then goes away and sometimes it will flash on and off. I think it could be the battery because if I take the battery out and try going in to download mode it will turn on to the initial warning screen warning about flashing and what not. If i put the battery in at this point it immediately shuts off. I just don't know how it could go from working fine to not working at all overnight.
Anyone have any suggestions? The phone is only about 4 months old.

Every phone that I have ever owned with a USB port I have charged through the USB port from a computer, and I have never once had an issue. When I plugged it in the battery symbol changed to charging so I didn't think anything of it. When I woke up it was dead.

I'm thinking that's what I'm going to do. Might take it to Best Buy and see if they can check it since the phone is only 4 months old. Not holding my breath on that though.
Phone will not turn on with the battery in while plugged in to the wall charger. I can see the battery symbol with the little circle when I first plug it in but it goes away after a second or so. The only way I can get the phone to turn on is if I remove the battery, hold the volume buttons and plug the USB cable in while connected to a PC. This brings up the download mode warning screen asking to continue. If i put the battery in at this screen it shuts off. If I hit continue with the battery out if shuts off. I guess the only thing to do is try another battery.

Replace the battery.
welp apparently it fixed itself. I just left the battery in it and let it sit powered off for the rest of the work day and when I was leaving work ready to head to Best Buy just out of curiousity I plugged it into my car charger and it magically turned on. Now the wall charger and USB charging are working as well. No clue what that was all about but works for me. Thanks for the replies guys.

Your battery should be dead. My dad had exactly the same experience as you did. Try calling att for a new battery if the phone still in warranty.
USB charging is just unreliable: different motherboards may even supply slightly different voltages. Although it doesn't make a difference in normal use, adding a near empty battery to the equation complicates things.
