so this guy came into my store who had a rezound, never once had a problem with it ever...then the battery died fully overnight because he forgot to charge it..
so when he woke up, it was dead obviously. he then plugged it in, and the orange light came on for 5 seconds...then shuts off. and nothing happens. this even happened when he brought it in for me to try. so i'm like, wtf, probably a bad battery maybe?
so i put in a good one we've got...same thing. so i ask if he's rooted or anything, he says no...but i did a search, and found some posts that when people had bad flashes of roms, it would stick at the white screen, and they had to restore a backup in CWM for it to work.
so i tried to see if maybe he was rooted...went into bootloader, hit recovery, and the phone just died. just shut off. so i was like, thats weird...so then i tried to do a factory reset....same thing, i hit factory reset, the white HTC screen came rgiht up, then the phone just died...and this was with a fully charged battery, too.
eventually we had to just call up and get him sent a refurb, but still, has anyone seen this problem? nothing i could do could get it to boot, and that's such a ****ty feeling especially if this guy said that he NEVER had a problem with any HTC phone, especially this rezound, until that battery died and it would'nt turn on again.
I've had that problem after a bad flash, but it still let me get into hboot and recovery without problems, so I doubt it was that. Don't have a clue what it could be though... at least you got him taken care of with a refurb. Maybe the inability to boot to recovery could be not having amon ra or cwm installed (never tried without one) and if he wiped /data or /system I don't know if factory reset would know what to reset to (again, never tried).
Edit: Also, with me, the phone never died. White HTC screen would stay up until I pulled the battery and it would still recognize the charger.
exactly! it's a problem after a bad flash. i wonder if this dude was lying and tried to flash something, his battery died, and it bricked it
I am currently experiencing the exact same problem; I was able to replicate everything you describe, including what happened when you tried to go into recovery or factory reset mode. I have NOT tried to root or do anything else untoward with the phone ... if anyone has any idea what I can do other than get a new phone and lose all my data, I would really appreciate it!
edit - there is one difference: my battery never died. I took my phone out of my pocket at 5:40 to look at it, and it was fine. I looked at it again at around 5:50 and I had the white htc screen. At this point I pulled the battery and started googling.
second edit - could the forced update have something to do with it??
nope, he brought his in before the update.
have you gotten anything to work? when we called customer service, they just replaced his phone for him..i hope it works out for you, man. maybe try to get into fastboot and wipe the phone, or something? i know i was able to get into the bootloader..maybe you can push a factory reset from the comp

If you want to at least get the data off of it you can try using testdisk.
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
I used it for my external sd card that wouldn't read in the phone or computer anymore and had all my nands and other backups on it. It seems like it won't work on Android but it will, but since I formatted it in the phone it didn't seem to have a volume name.
After you select the drive and it comes up with the partition table list, select [None].
Then select [Analyse]
I think that's when it will list all your directories.
You might be able to hook up your phone and get stuff off the internal card if you leave it at the white htc screen, not sure. But I have used testdisk successfully on a drive and the sd card that all systems said was unreadable and needed to be formatted. Anyway, it's worth a shot to see if you can get your stuff off it even if you have to return it.

Yeah I had a lot of white screen time when I had the Evo! A co-worker of mine had this happen on his Evo. It was from overheating. Now I realize this is the Rezound we're talking about but brilliant phones do think alike.

happened to me when the kernel didn't flash but the rom did. Had to boot into fastboot and flash a kernel through a command prompt on my PC.
Just finished dealing with this after a bad flash. I couldn't boot, couldn't flash a new rom because of the Mainver error and couldn't get into recovery. Finally fixed it by deleting the PH98IMG.zip file. That let me get into recovery. Then had to flash back from ICS to Gingerbread. The I could follow the instructions to fix the Maiver error.
I had heard reports that people had data loss issues from the battery dying all the way in the rezound? Something tells me running the RUU on the phone would have fixed it.

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...

What do the battery contacts look like on the battery ? Still a goldish color or do they have some black burns lines to them?

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.

I just skimmed the posts so sorry if I missed it, but...
Have you tried "adb reboot recovery" just to see what happens?
My phone keeps locking up and freezing and then rebooting. Or sometimes it wont reboot and then I have to pull the battery out. Basically what happens is I'll be surfing facebook or even using google maps and what will happen is the phone will freeze/lock up and you'll see a line of distorted pixels and the phone becomes unresponsive after that. You can't push any buttons it wont respond to anything. It either then stays on that screen and then reboots itself after a moment or it just will stay lit up on the screen you were on or it will just go black and become unresponsive. You can plug it in it wont charge it wont turn on or anything. The only way to get it back on is pull the battery and start it up again.
Weird mentions: If I try to start it up right after it's had the lock/freeze it will do it again almost immediately. It will load and right as it gets to the home screen it locks up again. I usually have to wait a little bit and then I can start it and then I can use my phone. But if I try to do to much on it, like running google maps while using navigation (Like keeping the screen on all the time) the phone is gunna lock up and freeze. But if I push the power button while it's running that app it wont lock up and freeze.
Thoughts: I dunno if it has to do with the processor and if it works too much it locks up and freezes and causes the phone to crash or if it's a heat issue.
I have an HTC Amaze 4g Phone rooted, S-OFF running EnergyROM ICS 4.0.3
I have formatted it several times, re-installed the ROM and still getting the same freezes/lock ups. Any suggestions would be awesome! Also if I can help clarify anything or provide more information for you lemme know! Thanks so much for taking the time to read all this mess and help me out!
Sounds like you did almost everything to eliminate the possibility of a software problem. If you're still under warranty, I'd say get a new one =)
Have you tried to format the SD card? I've had the same issue and that's how I solved it.
Another option is to get a new battery

That's what I was thinking because when it does lock up and freeze like that the battery will lose 20% to 30% of power from that one freeze. I could be at 100% battery power and then that the phone glitches like that then I lose that much battery power? Yeah I'm gunna try and get a new one.
have you tried any other roms? have you upgraded your kernel?
Try to go in steps and stop where it fixes the problem. It happened to my sensation when I really tried to mess up with system files. For me it got fixed on step 2
0.5) Make backup of storages on computer and take out external memory card
1-) Flash the stock ruu (use search in development thread) reboot
2-) format internal storage
3-) it might be hardware issue, depending on your warranty, you might get it fixed by HTC/t-mobile.
Try the methods 0-2 at-least

I think it's the hardware. Because when I'm in recovery it freezes even in there. I even put in the new battery I bought and I'm still getting those random lock ups. I even took out the SD card for safe measure to make sure it wasn't that.
I would back everything up, do a complete wipe, flash a stock RUU and then see if it happens. Or take the easy way out and call your carrier for a replacement. If you have T-Mobile, they're pretty awesome and quick about replacements.
Call T-Mobile for a replacement..
Its a memory parity error on either the GPU or CPU... yes it is heat related, hence an almost instant lock up on warm reboot.

I just had to do a warranty return on a completely stock unit to T-Mobile for this very issue. Identical symptoms to OP. Phone seemed to behave normally if little was done to it, but streaming any sort of data could get it to hard lock pretty quick. I was assuming it was a bad memory chip somewhere.
I had a similar issue. Different battery. No problems now.
Hi, I recieved a refurbished replacement rezound from asurion when i dropped mine in water a couple of weeks ago. When i got the phone it immediately had the problem of rebooting all the time. I didnt think anything of it assuming that it was just a problem with ics so i rooted the phone and installed a different rom, i still had the rebooting problem so i flashed another rom and i Still had the problem. The phone seemingly reboots at random dozens of times a day. It has even locked up and rebooted in the recovery and even the bootloader. I cant return it because i dropped it and there is damage so i would have to pay 100$ again. any help?
If you tried complete wipe (system, data, cache, Dalvic) and clean flash without restoring anything and it's still rebooting, I would say the next step should be an RUU. (HERE is the latest).

Yup, i always wipe it clean. Ill try an ruu, but that has nothing to do with it rebooting even in the revovery and bootloader does it?
I know very little of how this low-level hardware control stuff works, but it could technically be possible to make a faulty hboot that will reboot sometimes but normally work. An RUU will replace your hboot with stock, so if it's anything hboot related, the RUU should fix it. If it's not hboot related, I'm afraid it could only be faulty hardware. You could try replacing the battery, but I don't see how a battery could cause reboots. Also, if it is faulty hardware that shuts the phone down completely, flashing an RUU could be risky - if it shuts down while the hboot or radios are being flashed, you could be left with a hard brick, which would be even worse than constant rebooting.
As I said, though, I don't know much about phone hardware or low-level software, so it could be some other problem that I'm entirely unaware of.
I have the battery from my old phone that i could try. and could it have anything to do with the sim card? im using the sim card that came with my old phone that i dropped in water and i didnt use the new one they sent me because i didnt really want to go through the trouble of activating it.
I know nothing of how SIM cards work, but you could try taking out the card, and seeing if the phone will still reboot.
If it doesn't reboot right away, just activate the new one and see how it will work then - it's just a 5 minute (or even shorter) phone call.

And you might want to get a velcro glove and case set.
What is your hboot version, what recovery are you running, and what rom did you install?
Have you tried connecting your phone to the computer in fastboot mode and removing the battery while it's powered by USB and see if you get the random rebooting in hboot when the battery is out?
Try removing the sim and booting as was mentioned earlier as well.
So update, I installed set cpu and set it at performance and the max at 1300mhz and it hasnt rebooted since, which is saying something since it would reboot about every minute before. I fixed it! but its still not as nice as my girlfriends DNA haha oh well. thank you all for your help

Did you do this on a stock kernel?
Get another replacement. Mine had an issue where wifi would not turn on. Even after I s off and tried installing roms and kernels it wouldn't boot. My replacement works perfect.
I couldn't have gotten a free one because I dropped it and there are scratches on it now.

By switching it to performance mode you locked the CPU at its Max value which will annihilate your battery if you leave it like that. What that means is that the voltage of your CPU was too low at the bottom end and it was making the phone reboot. If your min before was 192, bump it to 384. If it was 384, bump it to 432.

I had asurion replace my incredible when I broke it once. Shortly after the CPU would over heat all the time and reboot. They covered it under warranty even though it was used. They might cover it under warranty if it hasn't been too long.

I gave up trying to calibrate my compass. I have issues with it in any rom including stock TW. Some of these chips are just broken.

After trying many of the suggestions on this thread to fix the compass (my GPS lock is fine), I thought I might have messed up the hardware somehow. However, last night I flashed the 7/12 KT GE kernel, and the compass now correctly points in the right direction.
Germany?
Hi Dan (or whoever else reads this). Love the ROM! It's amazing. Do you know if it will work in Germany? I went to Mexico a few months ago, and the latest build at the time would not get reception anywhere. Flashing a TW ROM solved the problem, but I would much rather use yours.
Thanks!

Well in case anyone is curious, this ROM gives me great cell service (full signal on Vodaphone.de) but no data in Munich. I tried airplane mode, disabling/enabling data roaming several times and setting the network mode to GSM preferred, but no luck. Flashing the latest release of Hyperdrive ROM allowed me to use data. Oh well.
flashing google edition on verizon s4 on nc5
I'm a noob and can't figure out if i can use safestrap to flash the dandvh google play edition rom.
verizon galaxy s4 on nc5 build, rooted with towel root and running safestrap 3.75
Viper Audio Working?
Does anyone else use Viper Audio with this rom? I find that the audio driver frequently stops processing when I stop playing music and then come back and play again. It will start processing again if I reboot the phone or even kill the Viper gui process. I've tried installing it as a user or system app but hasn't seemed to matter. Anyway, just curious if anyone else was having the same kind of results.
Hi everyone, hoping you all can help me with a problem I'm having with my phone. First, some specs:
ROM: Danvdh GPE 9/30
I am one of those lucky MDK users, I got the phone in May 2013 and rooted early
I had been running the NC5 modem for a while now with no issue. The problem started after I flashed the NG6 modem (from Surge1223's thread) in TWRP. Just fyi, here are the steps I took to flash the modem. Within TWRP, I flashed the zip file, cleared Dalvik/cache, then rebooted.
Almost immediately I started getting random reboots. It rebooted twice, then seemed to settle down, so I decided to wait a day or so to see what my phone would do. Sadly enough, it started rebooting again, so I gave up last night and reflashed the NC5 modem in TWRP using the same method as before. The phone was fine after that, until this afternoon. About an hour ago, my phone froze, and rebooted, but the screen cut off at the Samsung custom padlock boot screen. It seems to be off at this point, but I can't power on the phone without pulling the battery. After pulling and replacing the battery, the phone powers on by itself, but again cuts off at the Samsung boot screen, about 3-4 seconds into the boot process. I've tried booting into TWRP and download mode, with the screen turning off and the device seemingly freezing after 3-4 seconds. I'm at a loss as to what to do at this point.
I'm at work right now, but when I get home, I will see if Odin3 can make some sort of contact with the phone. Any help in the meantime would be greatly appreciated!
Sounds like you may have a bad dl. Re download. Turn phone off. Then boot into TWRP and reflash the modem zip. Not the non-halos.zip.

I would love to, but I can't.
I put a video up on Youtube showing what the phone is doing right now. I don't have 10 posts yet, so I can't post links, but if you go to youtube.com then add "/watch?v=3ey5xD9LodY" at the end of the URL, you can see what the phone is doing.
It is the only thing the phone will do. I've tried doing a hard reset by holding the power button, but nothing happens. All I can do is pull the battery and start this process again. If I hold the correct button combos, I can begin to boot into TWRP or download mode, but the phone cuts off/freezes like clockwork after 3 seconds.
I tried to get Odin3 to recognize the phone, but my desktop doesn't recognize that anything is plugged in when I connect my phone to it, so Odin3 by extension doesn't see anything.
Did you install the Samsung apps on your computer? You need them for the computer to recognize your phone.
To hard boot into recovery you need to hold power button and volume up at the same time, then let go of power button once blue writing appears on upper corner of phone.

I'm sure I have. I've been able to send adb commands to the phone in the past. Now however, my PC doesn't even see that a device has been connected to it (nothing shows up in the device manager, not even an unrecognized device).
The phone will no longer charge when I plug it into an AC adapter either (or at least the LED no longer lights up indicating it's charging).
I have tried booting into recovery several times. Each time, it will begin to boot into TWRP, the blue text, "RECOVERY BOOTING...", will display, then immediately afterwards, the screen will cut off and the phone will freeze, just like in the Youtube video I posted.
I'm afraid the thing is bricked...
So, I was talking to a friend about what's been going on with my phone. During the conversation, I started goofing around and smacking the back of the phone like 4-year-old me would an NES to try and make it work (ah, good times...). Believe it or not (and I did not touch the power button while doing this), the phone powered up and successfully booted!!!
It showed only 2% battery life, so I connected it to the AC adapter, but then a few seconds later the phone died again.
This occurrence leads me to believe there is something wrong with the battery, and leads me to another question. Can the S4 (or any other smartphone) run solely on USB power?
My roommate has a Galaxy SIII, I read the SIII battery can be used in the S4, so I will test the phone out with his battery when he gets back tomorrow, and update you then.

Have you tried a different USB cable/transformer? It sounds like you might just have a charging issue. Not enough juice to get it started.
Allowing a battery to cool down will give it more usable power, which as it heats back up will deplete again. This sounds like your situation... Power off for a few, restart it has enough to begin booting, then depleted again.
The phone cannot run on USB alone it needs the battery to sustain it's operation.
I have tried 3 USB cables, 2 AC adapters, and 2 PCs.
When this started on Friday, my phone was hooked up to my PC at work and showing about 50% battery, but it's possible something went wrong with the battery and it's stopped delivering any significant amount of power or accepting a charge.
So it turns out it wasn't the rom or new modem that was the problem, my battery has decided to kick the bucket. I tried my roommate's battery in my phone and it booted right up as if nothing was ever wrong! Strange that an OEM battery would just die like that, but I suppose that does happen from time to time. Thanks for the help!

I use it, and I've never had any issues with it. I would recommend reinstalling, but you've probably tried that already. Are you using the latest version of the app?

Yeah, I have tried reinstalling it, and I am using the latest version of the app. The fact that you haven't had any issues is encouraging. I'll continue to troubleshoot and see what I can find.
I keep getting this (in CWM touch)
