Still stuck? Not sure if you want to but there is the factory reset in boot loader. Keep in mind, thats EVERYTHING it will wipe.

not sure what what RUU is compared to whats on it standard, but even so the phone doesnt turn on. windows makes noises when plugging it up like it connects/disconnects over and over but adb and fastboot just sit on <waiting for device>.

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.

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)

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?
Last night I was able to root my phone flashed the recovery mod and used the overclocked kernel that was listed in the dev forums for my phone. The phone was running fine until I went to bed, this morning I had woke up and went to look at my phone and it was off. Thinking the battery died while I left it unplugged all night I found meh.. might be the reason. Let the phone charge while I was in the shower for about 15 minutes got out and tried to turn the phone on and unable to get a response. Tried to boot the phone to Odin mode with no luck also tried getting my computer to pick up the device with no luck at all. Few questions, is my phone bricked? If so I've only had the phone for 15 days do you think I would have any luck getting the phone replaced at a store? and is there anyway that they would be able to tell that I had rooted my phone flashed recovery and installed a kernel if I cant even get the phone to respond in any way shape or form? Any advice you have or situations where you where in the same boat would be a great help. Thanks again.

According to your post...You are bricked
Samething happend to me..just few days ago but my phone was out of warranty...so I need to pay for ...a board change (I9100) tht was the solution for me not for uh
Now as you said ...if you are fully bricked and you just bought the phone 15 days ago ...then you have still 99.9% chances that they will replace your main board
....
Last year when I bought my phone S2...after some time when I came hyr on xda rooted my phone ...once I bricked ...so I went to samsung care ...and made a story...and bang they taken my phone got my job sheet ...and after 4 days got my phone they changed my main board...
Main topic...they can't check whtr you are rooted...or not if you are bricked fully...so just visit samsung care...and make a fake story...all set just sit back for few days ...

As I had mentioned this morning I woke up and plugged my phone in for a good 15-20 minutes while I took a shower. There after when I looked at my phone it didn't show as if it was even charging most of the time it will at least show a charging logo. I let the phone sit plugged in for about 45 minutes and tried to soft reboot the phone holding volume and power still nothing came of it. Had taken the battery from the phone and put it back in with the same process to no success. I had removed the SIM Card from the phone replaced it back in the device and as soon as I plugged in the phone it showed the phone was charging. From that point I was able to reboot the phone with no issues.
I was worried due to the fact I had flashed the kernel last night and was toying with the settings given in the stweek that came after I flashed the recovery and kernel using the recovery options on reboot. Really don't have an idea as to why I had the issue that I had. But at the end of the day I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for a replacement.

Hi My galaxy s2 i9100 wasn't able to turn on, even when i charged it
This is what happened..
i was actually flashing a rom, after flashing i press
"reboot device" in the recovery and it has choices
Yes

so i did pull off the batteries to fully turn off my device, after putting back.. BOOM it wont go turn on by that time...

Have you tried charging the battery. You can try using a usb jig to boot into download mode and flash a rom through there.
yep, i tried charging but nothing happens, my phone is kinda getting a lil hot when im charging now..
what do u mean by usb jig? ive done the
hold together power+volume up/down and home button.. nothing happens, it just getting a lil hot..

Happened to me before. May or may not work for you.
Take out the battery.
Wait 1 minute.
Now turn the phone on, and it will take some time(maybe 3 mins) but it WILL go into recovery mode. Do what you want in recovery and then done.

hi all, as the title says my hox + is repeatedly crashing n rebooting. this has been happening since yesterday. the hox was fine in the morning and then randomly started playing up in the afternoon. the phone is completely stock n locked. its not the power button as when I enter fastboot the phone stays on n doesn't even freeze. it went flat after a while so I left it to completely flatten over night. its been on charge for a while now n its still rebooting even without me turning it on, it turns on by itself.....freezes.....then reboots.
any ideas guys?
really don't want to pay for insurance again n I now know it takes takes 2 weeks to replace a lost phone so god knows how long it will take them to look at a phone
"pay for insurances AGAIN"?
Does this happen randomly? Or it happens all the time? If you will be enough desperate, you can always try a factory reset as this looks like a software bug.

yeh ive tried factory reset in fastboot and also erased cache command. im going to try a rom now ive got it to stay off n charge. it will only stay off selecting power down quickly, if I select power off in bootloader it restarts. it does seem like software though as it doesn't auto reboot in recovery or bootloader

does it show something on its screen when it reboots?
cant do anything. it would boot up fully...then freeze after 5 secs or so then reboot and do the same again. Ive claimed for a new phone now tho. I couldn't find an ruu after trying a new rom so insurance repair wasn't going to happen. the phones gone now n hopefully a replacement will come soon. guessing I had a bad refurb last time iclaimed
Well, I maybe should have listened. So I had just flashed a ROM on my 6P, set a few things up, it was charged 98%, I downloaded an app, checked an e-mail, then walked away. Then after 30 minutes I went to the phone to check e-mail, and it was dead. I mean, wouldn't boot in any way complete black screen. Hooked up to computer, nothing. No buttons will boot the device.
So ridiculous....a $500 paper weight. Now I have to find a decent Verizon phone with good development to buy.
Well, had fun for 2 months!
Bye Nexus 6P forums!
OK - I held volume down button and power button for almost 3 minutes and it finally booted. This never happened before. Scary, but if this happens to you take note! :silly:
So my phone is unusable and I have to find a new Verizon phone that has good development. Good luck to me - guess I'll have to sacrifice my unlimited data I've had for many years for a phone with a new carrier so I can root it with good development. I hate Verizon.

Unusable how? You just said it booted.
Is your bootloader unlocked? Can you get into bootloader mode? If so, you could try flashing a factory image.
Don't give up so quickly. Your issues might be related to the ROM or something else you installed.
Jeez... Jump to conclusions much? Can we get more info please?

I almost want to say just send it to me because I could almost guarantee I could help get it booted. If when you plug it in to your computer does the computer recognise it at all? Edl mode? Can you enter bootloader or anything?
Since your 6P is only 2 months old, why not use the warranty?

Thanks guys. I was able to revive it again and flashed a different ROM. It would not boot in any way - plugged into my computer, bootloader mode, nothing. Then it went into a bootloop. Finally I got it to boot and flashed an older ROM after transferring the appropriate vendor image to internal from my computer. I'm nervous it will happen again. I will switch to a new ROM now and hopefully won't see this happen again. Very frustrating evening.

i know this is a old post but do you by any chance remember how you got it to boot again. I am having the same problem and after shutdown i was able to turn it on one time by pressing the power button for 30 sec but now it's dead again and wont turn on after long power button press.

Have you tried volume down and power? Hold it for up to a few minutes...

did that too. But nothing seems to work.It doesn't even get noticed by pc.
Would you recommend a battery swap.
I remember freaking out when that happened to me. My 6P was dead for like 20 minutes. I kept plugging it in, holding power and volume, etc. I got so mad I banged it against something and created a small dent near the power button, which I lived with for the rest of the year until I bought my OP5T.
Hope you were able to fix it. I kept trying and trying to resuscitate it and finally it booted. :good:
