I rebooted my Evo 3D using the rom's reboot power option this morning and it just stayed powered off.
Was working perfectly for the last few months. Rooted, S-Off, MiUi v5
Now I can't get my phone to power back on.
It won't connect to the computer, so no ADB.
adb devices doesn't list the device and no connection sound.
There isn't any LED flash when I try to power it on.
I've tried 3 batteries that are fully charged on an external charger.
Tried VolDown+Power, VolUp+Power, Camera+Power.
Tried powering it on plugged in without a battery.
Tried holding the power button for 30 seconds without the battery then putting a battery in and trying to power on.
Tried holding the power button then plugging it in.
I am at a loss and I don't know what to do.
I hope there is still someone here that can help. My phone had to do this after everyone left the Evo3d :[
Please help.
Youc can try to boot it without the sd card but I think it's time for you to look for another phone

Hopefully sprint gets it on the 1st and that's not just the release date for google to start selling it, or worse.. unvieling it.
There isn't much detail on it. only the FCC Sprint Signal claims and an unofficial twitter post.

Well, I wish you good luck starting your Evo or getting Nexus in two days :thumbup:
You sir, managed to brick your phone I guess. I had similar situation, but it has fixed by itself. I left the phone plugged for night and managed to turn it on in the morning. Maybe try that? But dont think that it will help you.

Well my phone died today, rebooted and would not turn on.. held down power button, power vol dn, etc.
Sprint is ordering me a new phone. My question is, hopefully the phone will not have the latest OTA installed. Is there a way to stop the OTA when I go to activate the new phone? Hopefully it wont just install no matter what.
Thanks
It's possible that the newest version will already be put on there before you even get it.
Otherwise if it's not on there, when you get the ota, let it download and the just don't install it when it ask. Simple as that.

Had my Sprint HTC EV 4G LTe for 5 weeks. Rooted phone after week 1. No problems until week 5 when I had left it in my windshield mount for 2 hours in the sun. After that there were several unexpected re-boots then after executing a "Mirror" app it froze. Any attempt to reboot phone gave continuous white HTC screen with vibrate or boot loop. Bestbuy junked it out replacing the phone. New phone is now updated with new OTA update waiting for new root code... No indication that Bestbuy detected "tampered" screen with root.
Otherwise very happy with phone!

Rooted my exchanged EVO as well. Had no trouble w the exchange at best buy either, but was before ota update. The girl doing my activation didn't turn over my new phone until after all the updates had been performed when the phone is first powered on. Snatch it from them before they accept HTC update is all I'm saying.

If you get the OTA, it is not that big of a deal. You can still root using this method: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/ Did it yesterday and it worked like a charm.

Yeah I dont trust them. Worst case if it comes with the new OTA I'll just do the HTCdev unlock and root. From everything I read it puts me back pretty much where I was with root and s-off.
Just pisses me off quite a few people are having the same issue the phone dies for no apparent reason.
I'm on my wifes og EVO because last night, I plugged in to charge and this morning when I woke up, phone was dead... No button combination worked and I gotta assume its a paperweight... Off to the Sprint store I go, maybe tomorrow... I just hope I don't get shafted with a newer version... Prolly will...

Thats how mine died. Plugged in to charge, and it died. Were you using the charger that came with the LTE or a different one. I was using a charger from my EVO OG. I wonder if that has something to do wih it.
R u sure the charger isn't broken and it just died from being on all nite? Try a different charger

Mine still had a 40 percent charge and was only on the charger for 5 mins. I am seeing a trend, from others that this has happened to. Most if not all were not using the charger that came with the phone.

Mine was at 50%... I was using one of the numerous HTC chargers I have, but probably not the one that came with EVO LTE. I'll have my replacement on Tuesday, just sucks it will prolly be updated... No soff is a bummer...

hi guys,yesterday in the morning i noticed my evo wasnt responding. I had used it for a phone call earlier and now there is nothing.
When i plug it in nothing happens, no led charging light. I have tried holding the power button in for 30 seconds and also with the volume down.
I am not that familar with abd(i believe that is what it is called) or even if that would help. Any suggest would be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to mention i am not s-off but i am rooted
Search this forum for the latest RUU for Jewel, which includes the recent OTA update and will keep you r00ted, if you use xHausx's deodexed ROM. Be careful to have enough battery before attempting. I'm hoping you used Titanium Backup or executed a nandroid? HTH!

Don't think the ruu will do a whole lot of good if the phone isn't responding at all.
Edit: I know I've seen several other threads with people experiencing the same thing. As far I I remember, none of them were resolved and ended up getting a new phone. Do you have TEP?

If it won't turn on its dead, welcome to the club. I hate to say it. Was it just on a charger when you noticed it? If it was were you using the charger that came with the phone? That is happening to a lot of these phones. I get my new one tomorrow.

AFAIK, you need to be in either android or fastboot for the ruu to work but definitely worth a shot..

Yes you can. I returned mine Sat to a sprint store. There are a bunch of threads on this, yet HTC says there is no problem. I read where several returned them to bb with no problems.

I was running mlk's ics release on my evo 3d. I had hboot 1.40 and s-off. I had no problems flashing the rom and I was using it with no problems.I have been using it since it was released. No issues. Yesterday, I just went to reboot the system through the advance power menu. The phone went dead immediately, mind you my phone is fully charged. I tried going into recovery using the usual vol down + power, phone doesnt respond. I plug in the usb cable and tried it again, no luck. So I tried pressing all the buttons (power, vol up, vol down and camera button) the phone flashes the htc screen then shuts off. That is the only response I get. When I use adb devices it lists this:
"HT16FHX07713 recovery"
I can get the phone to do the same thing as mentioned above when i do "adb reboot recovery", it just flashes the htc screen for less than a second then goes off while still showing that it is charging.
Can anyone shed some light on what I can do to fix this? If you need any info, let me know and I'll try to provide what I can. Thanks
I see that you tried adb reboot recovery but have you tried adb reboot bootloader?
Thanks, that was the only thing I didnt try. Tried it just now and the bootloader just loaded up. What should I do now? I'm kind of rusty and that its been awhile since I flashed/rooted an android phone.

Sorry for the late reply, got busy. I'm sure you've figured it out by now. If it were me, I'd just flash a pg86img of 4ext (let me know if you need it) and then flash a rom.
Yes please. I do need that. Thanks

Leave the phone plugged in for about 8 hours, even though the light doesn't come on. Then try turning it on again.

I had the same problem because I tried to downgrade my radio (I learned from my mistakes XD) however I sent the phone to HTC and said that I had the phone since long ago but without using it, I also said the I upgraded it over the night and when I woke up the phone was dead. They fixed it and sent it back in a nice cute box XD.

there is warranty with it ?
how long does it took to send and mail back to you:cyclops:
It have the HTC warranty not sprint but HTC have to offer warranty to every device they sell but only on the software part. It depends because i live in NY it took like one week to get to Texas and one week to get here again but I know that they fixed it in one day because I called.

Dirty racuun s-off
hboot 1.19.2222
Recovery -twrp 2.3.3.1
rom-mean bean
Everytime it powers up i get white htc screen for about 10 seconds then black screen then back to white htc screen. i can get to bootloader but when i try to got to recovery it goes to white htc screen with red letters htc dev letters for about 10 secs then black screen and back to the white htc screen and then just loops from there. tried fastboot flashing recovery twrp 2.3.3.1 and 2.3.3.3. also fastbot erased cache and rebooted, no difference. fastboot flashed boot.img from the rom i am running (mean bean). now everytime i try to charge with device powered down, charge for about 8 or 10 secs then by itself it powers on to white htc screen and loops.
Just found out that my lil girl was playing with it and dropped it in water. :crying:
What was the last thing you did to the phone before it started acting up?
I would try and flash recovery through the bootloader using the PJ75IMG.zip method. Once you get recovery working I would do a clean install of MeanBean.

Hope you paid for insurance, if you didn't go to Sprints website and add it now. With the Evo not having a removable battery it may not have gotten powered down immediately. Also, since you've been messing with it powering on and off and trying to charge it you are probably too late. Try the rice thing, but the fact that it powers on when you plugged it in are signs of problems. Better to claim it now and hope for the best.
Yes I paid for insurance. The 150 dollar deductible seems steep. I opened the phone up looking for the sticker that shows whether it has been in water or not and I could not find one. Anyone else know where it is?
