Ok so I was a victim of theft and got my Thunderbolt stolen, sux I know so I got my replacement brand new. I rooted following jcase's thread then proceeded to flash B.A.M.F. 1.7, clean wiped everything about 4 times to be on the safe side. The problem is it wont boot past the splash screen...just flashes goes black vibrates flashes goes black. Thought it was the Rom so tried The perfect Storm and same thing also tried flashing different kernels and still the the same s**t and its really starting to piss me off. With a battery pull i can get into recovery but i dunno what the f**k is up. I succeeded once at a full boot but when i reboot for whatever reason its the same s**t all over again. I don't know what to do or how to figure this out any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all for reading and thanks for your time!
Are you wiping data and cache before flashing each ROM?

yes sir religiously
How long have you waited for it to go past the boot flash screen? Sometimes it might take a while to boot up because it is your first time booting up after all.......

That sounds bad, can you get it back to stock to see if it works?

Be very careful using GB. It has a somewhat annoying habit of bricking phones. I wish I could offer some better advice about the ROMs. I used to have that happen on my D1. Some ROMs just didn't like it. Have you tried flashing the ROM, when it gets hung, do a battery pull and then try to reboot it? Sometimes that will get it past whatever is messing with 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...

OK, before I commit suicide I will try to get a new battery (I`ll have to buy it at eBay, since no once else has this phone here) That should be the only solution. Thanks for you time. I´ll let you know what happened as soon the battery comes (a month, maybe)

Reallly that sucks I would look around do you guys have a sprint store....?
What do the battery contacts look like on the battery ? Still a goldish color or do they have some black burns lines to them? Try to take a eraser on a pencil and wipe the contacts down and plug the battery back in talking about the battery don't use it on the prongs where the battery plugs in at .....
Worth a shot man lol I have done this in the past......

haha, it`s just that it`s so stressing having a $340 brick. I tried the eraser wiping trick but It didn`t work. Maybe I`ll have a friend manually charging the battery.
I´m going to sleep for now.

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?
Since I got my rezound replaced because it was heating up and killing the battery, I got a replacement and Since then I've had nothing but issues doing things it seems,
First off, It doesn't seem to want to S-off properly, I did S-off my last phone and switched it back to s-on before I sent it but now this isn't even giving the time to use the wire trick. My old phone was S-off'd on ICS, I'm trying GB here and nothing gives.
Second off, My wifi module seems to be completely broken, I installed a gb rom and since then I cant get it back up and working again, even though I have been flashing the ones I have. Maybe they aren't correct.
And lastly but worse, Sometimes Randomly after the phone has been in sleep mode for a while, the screen just doesn't respond. Nothing I do until I do a battery pull works, has Anyone gotten this problem before? I switched GB roms and both times this has happened

all i can say is that for the last part, i've gotten that a bunch of times on my stock unrooted rezound. it used to happen on custom roms on the incredible all the time with GB, but we could never figure out what it was.
You may want to flash a ruu to bring it back to completely stock. Whenever I start to have problems I do this, and it works.

was past that deadline before the issues began and yeah i was looking at a riff box option though im not sure what im looking for or what i would do when i get it...
oh well plenty of time for research =)
Not sure if I'm having the same issue or not
I was having charging issues for a while (only when powered off and insanely slow charge with hyperfast drain) and then one morning I go to turn it on because it appeared to have died while on the charger. It booted to the white HTC screen with the red type on it and that's it, I can fastboot and ADB but I'm not sure what is the best route of recovery or even if I want to recover it, the phone has been a problem since i got it. I didn't have time to monkey with it and just went out and got an LG G2 instead. I liked the HTC but I need a phone that wont randomly go on strike. Open to suggestions since I'm not dependent on the One at the moment Im not worried if it bricks or anything as long as eventually it works and I can make it my Game Device at least.
I'm unlocked, rooted, s-off, and on SkyFall Rom. Every so often my screen will lock up and I can't access anything. If I power off screen and power up it will work again momentarily. Other times the phone operates normally. Does anyone know anything about this?

Sounds like something in the ROM.
You might want to flash an update for that ROM, or just dirty flash that same ROM,

Ditto to the guy above me. Im not gonna name any specific roms to try, but being at&t you can flash international roms. Maybe try something from that section.
