My EVO 3d's battery rundown and eventually went off. When I plug in the charger, the LED flashes about 6x and then goes off. Left it on AC overnight and yet the phone can't boot. What does this mean and how do i fix it?

Can you access bootloader?
And does your phone goes to black screen?
No but, Now it is charging now after i just put in a different SIM card... Baffles me though as to why it had to take that for it to start charging...

I let my battery die off this morning til I got home. I plugged it into the wall and tried to boot up. I got the green light to flash but then nothing. I pulled the battery out and even left it charging for a few hours. Still, the phone does not power up. The green light turns on for a bit and then off. I haven't done any mods to the phone...
Any idea what is going on? Or perhaps how I can fix this? Any help would be great.
Weird. I had it plugged in my Energizer Ps3 controller stand (it has two usb outputs) which was giving me the issue before. I finally plugged it in to the wall and it boot up fine. I guess the PS3 stand may be faulty...

Use the charger that came with your phone.
If you do a google search, you will see that the droid x and droid 2 also have this same issue.
next time it happens, pull the batter and SD card. wait a minute or two, put in the sdcard and battery, then plug in the WALL charger. It will power on the phone and boot it up.
has happend to me twice - so now i just never turn off my phone rebooting it is also touch n go to be honest... the phone is sooo sensitive!
The phone's not sensitive...it requires an 800mA charger (0.8A). If you connect it to something less it doesn't have enough power to charge the device. If you let it sit long enough it *WILL* charge it...but it'll probably take a day to have enough juice to start up. If you let the battery drain completely it usually won't turn on until there's like 15% or more battery charged. Charging 15% battery on a 400mA charger (which could very well be the level your PS3 charging stand outputs) would probably take like 7 hours.
Thanks for the info, everyone!
I'm sorry for the bump, but this has happened to my mother's Atrix that I gave her just 2 days ago.
She found it turned off, wouldn't power. I figured it wasn't charged so I'm trying to charge it on the wall adapter that it came with but no green light. I've put it on my laptop and the green light appears.
It's not turning on though...can someone reassure me that if the light turns on, it WILL power eventually?
Same problem here

hello man, i have the same problem you have, did you find out something useful???
I woke up this morning, and my phone wasn't turning on. I thought it was dead and I put it to charge. I notice that the red light comes on for like 3 seconds then it goes off, I thought it was the cable so i used a diferent one, but still the same thing. I can turn on the phone for 30 seconds then it turns off again by it self. Now I dont know if I should take it to sprint (because I got Insurance) because my phone is rooted and I'm affaid they would say that happend because the root. what can i do?

I had the same thing LOL. When its turned off, and you charge it, the led blinks a few times right? Just keep it on the charger, it is charging. It just goes into some special mode when turned off and charging. Idk what that mode is called, but I read something about it on xda . I was concerned about that when I had it too, but I just kept it on the charger and after some time it works again (not one minute though). To get out of the mode: remove and instert battery.

I guess it was super dead that the light wasnt coming on when charging , THANKS! After a few minutes (10) charging with out the light, the phone came on by itself!

I already thought so, but with me it didn't boot by itself, I had to do that manually :S. I'm glad for you it works again though
HI! I have a problem with my EVO 3D GSM (well maybe its not a problem )
Lets see, when i am charging the E3D GSM all goes correctly till it gets to 100% when the green light get on, then the phone doesnt charge more, but the green light still on.. why? I have to say that this happenes whit it still connected and charging, but doesnt continue charging... why¿
It has Overcharge Protection built in.
and that means??? what we have to do for take it off? and any problem if we take it off?? sorry but first time i heard about it...
It's an overcharge protection chip built into the battery to keep it from being damaged.

its normal. from what i understand its a kernel thing. not trickle charging but lets its go down to some percentage then charges back up again . read what ms79723 has to say about it
So guys.... I woke up this morning and my phone was dead. Last night I plugged it in and it was charging normal (I used a new USB cable and not the one I am using a year now)... Anyway I woke up this morning and I pressed the power button and nothing came up.... I took off its battery and pressed the power button for a bit....then plugged the battery back in and the usb as well.... A dim red light came on....and then the usual charging light came on as well for 2-3 secs...and then it died.
I also tried to plug it on my computer....and the phone turned on and went to HTC white screen for 2 secs and then it turned off as well...
I am not sure what else can I do so if someone has any idea can you please enlighten me....because I am going nuts without my 3D!
The phone is s-off with clockwork recovery and cool ICS rom...and it was working perfectly.
PS: I noticed there are some red stripes on the battery...on the water indicator..is that okay?
That happened to me when my battery was severely drained, I needed a clip charger to charge the battery... Now I do not let my phone go off due to battery drain... Because it will happen again.. I believe that your battery is also degrading.... Just like mine. It is not also advisable that you use a different charger especially if the output power does not match. So don't let it go off again due to battery drain. Just my experience.

I am using that apple charger for like 4 years now on different HTC models...no problem at all... I think that new USB cable did the damage....the phone wasn't charging... and it drained the battery down...

It's bug in cwm I think u can find the solution I will give you the thread if I find that$)

yes please..... because its driving me nuts...that dim red light and the bright one for 2 secs is a kick in the head for me!!! hahaha btw its kinda odd that it tried to start on my computer USB??? it flashed the HTC screen for 2 secs !!
Just install 4EXT recovery as soon as your phone boots and you're good to go without the drain bug forever
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using xda app-developers app
One thing you can do now is really to charge with a clip charger. Unless you want to wait forever charging the battery in the phone. Because your priority is to make your phone boot. When you made your phone boot you can then charge normally.
well guys you are not going to believe it.... I plugged my phone in to its HTC charger and went downstairs to eat...in the mean time...I switched on my tabled GSM module (I have 2 sim cards with the same number...)...so i went upstairs again and called my number to see if my tablet will pick up the call..... and my phone suddenly started ringing! Anyway problem solved with patience!

Well, you could charge your phone while it's turned on. If you don't want it to ring or something just turn airplane or silent mode on. I have this phone for over two years and last night was the first time I charged it while it was off and it didn't fully charge

I'm having the same problem with my HTC Evo 3D, it's been dead for a week and I tried to charge it, the red light comes on, and I try to turn it on, it shows the white HTC screen, and then as soon as it starts the boot animation it just stays there for hours.

Get it checked soon, this indicates serious problem to come in your motherboard. Hardly repairable.

Hey don't worry I had the exact problem and look! I'm replying with my EVO it actually happened to two of my batteries if you want to fix this you could buy a new battery or with your charger you have to constantly plug in your USB while connected to an outlet and press and hold the power button then pull the cord once the red light disappears do this a lot eventually the red light will stay on after it flashes once hope it helps!
