My flyer won't turn on
The amber light light flashes on the power button when I connect the charger or USB cable
The last thing I did was flash clock work mod with fastboot
I have flyhoney Rom installed
Any help will be appreciated

Sorry I don't know. You might want to send it back.
Thanks for the reply will do that I guess

So I'm assuming no recovery?
My flyer wouldn't respond when I first flash hc and I had to hold power button and vol down for a really long time before it would go into bootloader.
Also ADB pull sometimes will allow you to boot.

are you able to boot into recovery?
Unfortunately not
I tried everything
Power button for eternity and nothing
Can't boot to anything, power button just keeps flashing amber
Looks like I'm going to send it in for repair
To me it seems like a battery issue, unfortunately its not accessible

I am not an expert, but I was reading this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18820479&postcount=107
It appears that you have the same issue he is having (you corrupted recovery image) that you have a bad recovery image.
You might want to ask globatron for help. I think you need to do charge your flyer using computer (very slow) and then reinstall recovery.
Can you get adb to recognize device? If so try to root the device again using the revolutionary io method and from there maybe it will repair the bad recovery
From the way it sounds it's like you're stuck in the boot loop but you can't see image

So you said that you had flashed cwm recovery, did you do this from cwm? if so that may be as previously stated a bad recovery (I am not aware of any version of recovery that can be flashed directly from cwm) If you can get your Flyer to charge, then use adb commands to get it to bootloader, then usd adb to flash the revolutionary recovery, you may be ok.
I remember once accidentally flashing the wrong recovery from cwm, I used adb to reflash the correct one before rebooting the Flyer again.
Not sure if this will help with your particular situation but it may be worth a try.

So, my light doesn't flash, it just stays on, and I wasn't doing any hacking! last thing I did was turn it off normally. I plugged it into some outlets without surge protectors, could that have done it?
Continuous amber sounds like normal charging to be honest.
Pug it into a PC using the usb cable and check to see what type of device gets discovered.
Nothing gets recognized, device manager doesn't see any change just continues flashing amber
I had cwm v3xxx and saw there was a v4 from another thread and flashed that, wish I hadn't
Everything seem fine after the flash from fastboot/adb but when I returned to check, it was flashing amber ever since
Blinking amber usually means the battery is completely depleted.
You can either send it back for repair, get another battery or cobble together an offline charging method.
Thanks off to the repair shop
I hate that I am unable to charge with honeycomb since it uses more power than what the USB can charge the tablet

I am in the exact situation and can't start HTC Flyer.
Please help.
Try holding the power button for 20 seconds and see if the light goes solid amber. If so, let it charge for 30 minutes. Also make sure you are using the official charger and not a third party one.

I am in exact same situation. The Flyer is just not charging and is not recognized by computer. Tried everything.
Maybe its a problem with leak3 or with the process I followed to upgrade to leak3. I was on leak2 and had applied system image and boot image to upgrade to leak3.
Anyway the end result it that my Flyer is a brick. Do you think HTC will fix this?
So. Did you solve the problem?

I don't believe you are in the same or even a similar situation. I'm pretty sure the problem in your case is that your battery is flat and you can't charge it because your hboot doesn't match your recovery. When you connect the charger you get a flashing amber LED, correct?
EDIT, sorry cnewsgrp; I mistook you for someone else, I remember your issue now. Completely discharged and wouldn't charge from there.
was running quicksense from about january dont know exactly which version.
phone completely died on me,
connected it to the charger and it turned on to the green "htc" logo,
but then it turns off..
so i tried booting to recover; holding volume down + power, with no luck.
tried it via connected to computer, no luck.
with & without batter still nothing..
weird thing is, SOMETIMES the charging light will keep blinking.
also SOMETIMES, the screen stays off, and the vibration feedback when pressing the home, menu, back, and search keys, virbates..
do i have the first bricked amaze or what?
--the search key "restarts the phone"
i can tell because the keys no longer make the phone vibrate when pressed after pressing the search key.
I'm betting my money on you having a earlier recovery installed that doesn't allow proper boot if the battery is dead... crappy part about that? it doesn't let the battery charge either... Find someone with an Amaze, or Sensation, charge your battery in their phone for 30 minutes, then try your phone again. Also, after your phone is charged, you probably want to reflash your recovery to a new one that doesn't exhibit this problem.
*just a wild guess, but it makes sense, it's happened to me*
*note, you could just have unrelated catastrophic hardware failure, lol*
As long as you have s - off you can't brick it.

S-Off isn't possible right now, S-On-Unlocked is safe. although having the recovery that doesn't support charging is like a temp-brick. You just need to charge your battery in another phone.
Or splice the battery directly to the wires for half an hour. That's how I charged when my charging port was the broked
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Can you at least get into adb? You could try accessing it and then using adb to reboot into bootloader/recovery via "abd reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader"
Did this get resolved? Just wanted to know if my hunch was right.
It sounds like a dead battery. The blinking light means (from my experience) that its charging but not enough juice to use yet. Once my phone died and it blinked for a couple of minutes. I tried turning on, but battery wasn't juiced enough. After a few minutes, the light turned solid and was charging and had enough power to turn on.
I would try a new battery. Good news is you're not bricked, and most likely, not even soft bricked

Amazing Brick
I've had a very similar issue to those mentioned here. I have the latest cwm recovery installed (five point something). After wiping battery stats my amaze went into a cycle of booting up normally then automatically restarting after about 30 seconds. Now it shows the amber light while charging, but will not boot at all, not even into recovery. adb says device not recognized, and the amber light flashes periodically and shuts off if i press the power button... should I trash this phone and get a galaxy s II ?

Charge it for 30-60 minutes. Unplug it and do a battery pull. Put battery back on and reboot your phone

Does the phone charge when you plug it in?
So i have had my EVOLTE for a while now (3rd one) and currently I was running OMJ's JB Sense Rom. Everything was working fine, but in the past day, my phone was a little laggy, so I downloaded another ROM and Kernel, and set my phone down to let it download.
I noticed that the phone was getting a little hot, but thought that when downloading large files, it sometimes did. Later I went back to check on the phone while it was on the charger, and it seemed to be going fine, but when I unplugged it, the phone turned off, and now will not turn back on.
The soft button lights will flash when I hold up and power or down and power, but the screen never comes on, and sometimes it will randomly vibrate. Ive been trying to fix it using the unlimited.io ubuntu tools, but I cant get any of them to recognize it as being plugged into the USB. My laptop just keeps seeing it as an MTP device. I am rooted but not S-OFF...
Please Help!

I've got nothing, then. Doesn't sound like a total brick, though, especially since the capacitive buttons light up. If you can let the battery die, plug your phone up and see if it will charge. This would be a good sign, in my opinion. Was your battery low when you were trying to flash the ROM?

when i hold down the up and power buttons together, the bottom lights flash until it appears to go off and then it appears to reboot, by vibrating like it usually does upon boot, but that is the last thing that happens. The screen never appears to even come on...

You need to hold the power and volume DOWN buttons after doing the battery pull reset. That should get you into the bootloader.

If the lights still blink, then the device isn't dead. I'd throw it on the charger and forget about it for a few hours, and then try to get into HBOOT again.
It was on the charger from 10 pm till 8am and still nothing is happening... Thanks for all of your help
After the lights stop blinking hold down the volume down button. It should get you to bootloader. I've been on the same place as you with me HOX and it worked for me

Sounds like your phone works but your screen is dead...phone should not get hot like that.

Trying powering it on again, and connect it to a PC. See if the PC recognizes it at all. That will help determine whether the device is on, and your screen is burnt out, or if something else is wrong. If it does acknowledge a device was plugged in, try an "adb devices" to see if adb can see the device.
If the screen doesn't come on at all, you should have no problem taking it to Sprint and getting a replacement.
Was in the middle of installing a new rom today and was having some issues with the data on the Carbon ROM. Got that fixed and data came back and before I could reboot into bootloader the phone just shut off. There was over 50% battery still left when it happened. Now it will not turn back on. I've tried the normal vol down + power for at least a minute with nothing. I've also tried vol up + vol down + power also did not work. I've also tried all of that after removing the sim card. Literally nothing happens at all with anything I try. Is there another method to reboot that I don't know about? Am I bricked?

this just happened to me. just turned on max volume on CF 9/17.
So I have a verizon s4 (rooted) and it is bricked. If I take the battery out and put it back in the screen shows "Samsung" and then goes black and nothing else happens. I cant get it to start in bootloader or recovery mode either.
I am not sure if or how this is relevant, but I have been having issues with the power button, meaning that it wouldnt work when pressed except sometimes if I held it down long enough the "shut down/reboot" option showed up. In short I am not so convinced that it is working properly or maybe even at all.
Any help would be appreciated

Stupid suggestion, but try plugging the phone in to charge. I had some odd things happen to my phone where it would try to boot and continue to shut down. I knew I had charge on the battery, but when i plugged in the phone to the wall adapter, it acted like the battery did not have any power left. Once charged enough to boot, the phone would work fine.
