For many months now I had been using the same version of Carbon ROM and whichever kernel was available at that time I installed it. Sometime after flashing that last update I learned that when I started to use my phone heavily enough to drop the battery to less than 50%, it would eventually and randomly shut off well before the battery was completely drained. As I also had also problems with the phone passing the boot screen most of the time so I figured they were just ROM or kernel issues that I would deal with later. I ended up just dealing with these two issues this whole time. Fast forward to now, I finally got around to updating my phone and wiped then flashed both the newest C-ROM and corresponding kernel. Sadly to say, the battery is still causing issue.
So, anywhere from the 40% range down to maybe 15% at the lowest I've seen, my phone randomly shuts off. Attempting to turn the phone right back on fails because it either shuts off again during boot, or immediately after the home screen manages to appear. In one of these instances of the latter I saw the phone reporting it was at <1% battery capacity, not even a minute later, before shutting off a second time.
After connecting a charger for a minute and powering the phone back I can finally pull up the graph like the one below, showing a sudden and unexplainable drop, although the right hand side is usually much lower than ~18% when its turned back on. It then continues to charge as normal.
Granted this is after a few hours of active screen-on time, and I also occasionally see the battery level stop for several minutes at a single value while in use. Is this just an issue with the phone reporting the correct battery capacity, or something else? This is somewhat alarming considering the battery cannot be replaced.

Probably a sign of a bad battery. Eventually it will just stop working. If your under your year warranty contact htc and they can perform a repair for free. If your not I would still contact them and they will perform a repair and give you a quote.

Looks like I'm a several months past warranty. If it is just the battery going bad, which is pretty pathetic given the short amount of time, comparatively, maybe I'll look at replacing it myself. Won't that be fun.

Replacing it would be very difficult. It's fused to the housing of the phone. Good luck.

I found at least one video on how to perform the operation, just carefully prying off the glued parts. That will be the last resort.
HTC Support responded to my email and recommended performing a "battery reset" by holding down all three physical buttons while the phone is powered down, for two minutes. Before powering off it was at around 75% battery after charging for a little while. So as I did the button hold and it of course kept flashing the boot screen, but after two minutes I let it boot up fully and the battery was reported at 58%. So either it drained that much charge in those two minutes, or it's now giving a more accurate reading.
I'll have to continue testing to see if it still shuts off.
I have started looking at other battery calibration methods, and will try those as well.

I also believe your battery is dead. I had the same exact problem with my HTC Amaze. The problem starts with a bad kernel that runs your battery hard heats it up and ends up with a bad broken. I'm sorry to say but there's no way around replacing it. I tried everything to get more juice or of it but it was too late.

I was just hoping that it'd be some kind of calibration issue. I saw that same tutorial and it looks kind of hard to put it back together more than anything else.

I am already a subscriber to spinvox which is through my carrier (Telus Canada), I get it for 7.50 unlimited so I am really looking for a solution to that service. Like I said in my previous post mvisualvoicemail works great for this it actually identifies which of my email are voicemail and only displays those however I would like an app that pulls in the transcripted version too, so I can be selective in which ones I want to listen to. I figured if a program like throttle launcher can pull in the header information and display it, it wouldn't be too hard to make an app that pulls the information from an emailed voicemail and displays it nicely for review. Maybe I'll post over in the throttlelauncher thread as a request for a plugin actually.
Spinvox apparently has an app for windows mobile in a private beta test but they will not allow subscribers who subscribe through their carrier partners to use it yet.

Well after I did HTC's recommended reset I started to drain the battery to see if it would shut off unexpectedly, but it steadily went all the way down to 1% before doing so like it should. I guess that's an improvement, but I don't know how it will behave in regular usage. I then left it off to charge completely before powering it back on the next morning. Maybe it will get worse but I'll just have to wait and see, at least now it should be reporting the proper values if that was the case.

Hello,
a few days ago my HD2 just froze and I had to press the red restart button. I thought it was just a random freeze but my HD2 wouldn't start up anymore. So I pressed the reset button a few more times, tried taking the battery out several times and then eventually it would work again. I was able to start my HD2 and use it for 4-5 hours. Then I had the same situation occur again - it froze and didn't start up. I was able to start it once again but it froze after 20-30 mins this time. Now I can't seem to start it at all.
I've tried pressing the hang-up-button and the volume button at the same time, but it won't work.
When I plug my HD2 into the charger, the red light also doesn't come. It just stays dark.
If I try a hard-reset this message won't appear on my HD2:

It's possible that your battery has died. Do you know if it had any charge on it last time it worked?

I'm almost certain it did charge last time it worked.
Also, I was on vacation in a very hot place and my cellphone was in the car for some time. Is it possible that the high temperatures broke my battery?

oops... Sorry. May be the battery dead. Was it a original stock battery or some china made brand? If it is original one then you can go for warranty claim if your phone is under warranty. I don't think battery may dead so early but if it is not original (as some china made type) then we can expect that. Don't use those batteries as they hold the explosion risk too.
I use the original battery.

Does your Phone not respond in any way?
Have you tried this?:
Plug in Charger and then put the battery in, normally the phone turn on with this method.
Does that also not work?!
Take a Look if you charger and the cable is broken. Use another cable (if you have a Logitech Performance MX try the cable from this mouse).
Try to measure if the battery is dead. You can also use your tongue to test that.
ATTENTION: You should do that only on low voltage parts!!! Like batteries until 9V for e.g.. DO NOT LICK ON A ELECTRICAL OUTLET!!! You would be suprised, beleive me (no I don't try this )
Plug your USB Cable to a Computer if you are not sure if you charger works.
The HD2 vibrates -> TWO <- times before it starts.
One really light and short vibration and one you could not miss^^
Does you phone vibrate when you try to turn it on?
Okay, so I bought a new battery, but my HD2 still won't work.
It's absolutely the same problem.
wife had this problem too was solved when we noticed the pins inside the phone were bent for the battery. fixing them got rid of the problem.
no seems to have mentioned that yet so take a look, they wont be bent much but that is for us.

I'm like 90% sure my first battery was nearly fully charged and I assume the new one I bought usually should be fully charge too, right?
is the bottom of the back of the phone warm?
If it is then, i suspect that your motherboard is overheating.
Mine has frequent lock ups and sticking it in the fridge for 15mins (seriously) helps with the boot up.
Also install Battclock so you can see what the CPU % is, as mine would always lock up at 100%, perpetuating the overheating issue.
Let me know if the fridge helps your boot ups.
Mine will be going in for service soon, its only 6 months old.

OK,
Can you get into the tri colour screen?
i think at this point your goal is to get it working.
You may have to sacrifice your data on the hd2 though.
Pull out the SD card. then remove the battery.
Hold the vol button down and power on,
Try to get to the tri colour screen and tray to flash a new radio to it.
Failing that, perform a Task29, and try to boot.
10 mins in the fridge wont hurt it at all.
Try to boot.

It may be the battery. You can try to get a replacement on amazon for $9 or you could take the battery from your phone and put the 3 pin to your tip of your tong and see if it has any current. If it has current then ignore the steps below as it is your phone that has the problem If you have no warranty, or cash at the moment do the following.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! The only thing that can get damage is your battery.
Most likely your battery is dead, so plugging in a power supply to your phone won't do any good since the phone can't detect it if I'm right. But you try to can jump charge it giving it power to see if its the battery or your hd 2 that has the problem
If you are good with electronics and wires do the following in a safe environment. (Low Fire risk)
1.Take a spare wall adapter that came with a sell phone or mp3 player.
2.Look at the back make sure its rated no more than 5V
3.Cut the cable at the tip and expose the 2 wires inside they most likely will be red and black. RED = + Black = -
If both wires are black then look closely one of them should have a WHITE strip
The wire with the white stripe is the + and the other is the -
4.Make sure you cut the wire so the golden tips are exposed
make sure that they are neat and in place
5.Take the battery and notice on the back there are a + and a - take the wire and carefully match + with + and the - with - for 1min. It is very important that you do not make the wires touch because it will smoke
6.After 1 min remove the wires and put the battery in your HD 2. If it does not power on then your phone needs repair.
I wish you the best.

Are you saying that it wont turn on at all, nothing!
So you have tried holding the volume button up and down, and power on!
I install a wifi kill app.
It was apparently shutting down wifi? What wifi I have no idea. It was stuck and non responsive for around 4/5 minutes so I thought a battery pull and a restart would get me out of the app.
And now the phone will not respond to me pressing the power button?! Nor will it charge. It's not responsive to being plugged in.
Help...
First time anything like this has happened to me. I am stuck without a phone and worried. Any help is appreciated?! I best not have screwed up the device.
Its a GSM evo, had a high battery charge. Running a custom rom with s off.
Even plugging it in gives no response. :crying:
It has been charged all night. seemed to indicate it was full. This morning it was down to 80% and I left it on charge some more, now this.
I opened up my comand prompt then typed "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and I just get < waiting for device >
I've been through this thread and non of this helps. (link below)
=/
-------------------------------------------
My solution.
Button presses were having no effect I left my phone connected to the mains and re tried the buttons and adb commands with no luck.
Although my battery was reading at around or above 80% before the problems I was sure it wasn't the battery.
I couldn't see how it was appearing to be bricked and unresponsive. I installed an app, it hung and I pulled the battery. So I presumed something had gone wrong with the app.....
I took a chance that the battery had drained fully somehow and the ROM was somehow supplying some dodgy readings.
The battery and wire trick was what I tried. A jump start was needed.
I should have licked the battery first to feel for any charge. But it was the last thing I was thinking about. (I don't have a voltage tester any more around the house)
I set off for a 9 volt battery. Using my trusty tongue again the one in my alarm was out of juice. Thankfully I got a new one though which was laying around.
So if it wasn't going to work I knew this battery wasn't going to be part of a problem.
Striping metal food ties I connected positive to the one positive contact and used another metal strip to tap each of the three negatives, obviously connected to the negative of the battery.
I kept the touches quick barely a second and kept running through all three. Went well, there was no heat from the battery. I did that for about a minute.
Be careful, don't damage your battery! Do not blame anyone else if you do... Make sure not to have your connections touch one another or its game over too.
I used my trusty method of licking the phone battery and bam, it was charged and I knew about it!
Placed it into the phone. Took a bit of time to say my prayers.... Connected the USB and the computer acknowledged that it was working a red light flashed,
My prayers were answered! I powered on the phone and its back to normal.
Strangely telling me the battery is at around 75% plus ...

Tried this too. Even with volume combinations as suggested in other threads I have looked up. My battery appeared to be charged to at least 80%. I'm hoping its something that hasn't bricked my phone and there is a simple fix. Maybe the battery level has been wrong?
I've left it on charge for now and I will give the buttons another go. At the minute it doesn't appear to be charging.
Can the battery pull cause any damage?
*Anyone else having trouble check this thread ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408374 I've tried all these tips here and non are working for me so far. They keep mentioning cwm 5 may cause problems ? I think I was running it because when I s-offed it came with it. Not sure which version it was?
The battery pull wont do any damage but this doesnt sound too good. If you cant boot to recovery or the bootloader your pretty much screwed.
Does the led light up when you charge it? If so it may not be completely bricked. But we need to see if you can power it up at all.

No, no light so I was worried. Good news is it's not bricked. I have another problem though.... I will post back in a minute, I will post the fix that worked for me to the top of the thread.
My battery seems to indicate it has charge that's what it appears to be reading at once I booted the phone up I took that picture. But it indicates its been on a while? ? ?
And now ky battery is draining like crazy. Is it just a bad battery? Or one that needs calibration?
Seems strange as only people with a low battery come across this problem. What could have caused it. I'd rather not have it happen again.
Any clues?
Oh wow! Awesome man. My next round of questions were going to be if you had access to a different battery or a friends phone to test it before we claimed it as a brick. Huge props for going above and beyond. Now stay away from the app that caused it but it also couldve been the battery failing and its coincedence.
Was gonna order a wall charger and a spare battery. But would have had to wait until Tuesday with shipping.
Battery level seems a bit all over the place. Why is there a second gap ?

WOW where did you come up with using a battery to charge your phone?
My bet the battery needs to be trained again. Let it die then charge it back to full. The fact the battery failed like that might mean its still going bad so if it were me.. id get a new battery when you could. Trickle charging all the time probably isnt the best either but you do what you have to for a charge.
I just wanted to thank the OP (which I did using the button) for actually posting his solution so future searchers will not just come across the question.
Same thing is happening mine now. I can get into fastboot but from searching everywhere it seems the phone will not charge when its in fastboot. I may aswell go find a square battery somewhere around my house and give this a shot.
I found by searching that there is a fastboot charging script but that seems to be in the One X forum , I tried it anyways and my phone just keeps rebooting into fastboot. Im sickened because a girl I was with on friday night said to me on facebook that she sent me some good pictures but I cant get phone on to look at them ha ha . ill try whats in the first post here now and see how I go. Thanks.
Man my phone is old. Good to know this thread helped a few people.

Hi everyone, i have just spent the whole day searching about this problem and i have not found solution, and things that worked for some people, won't work for me.
Hope you guys can help.
I'm going to tell you the events before i had this issue so you can get a lot of info about what posibbly happened:
1. I was tired of my phone being slow and some apps didn't worked for it because it had Android 2.2.2 Froyo and was never updated.
2. I decided to update installing Neutrino 2.9 by Notorius : Thread .
3. When i was trying to install the custom recovery i did something wrong and had to flash a Stock rom using RSDLite.
4. The rom that i installed was a Stock rom from Personal Argentina 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
5. After flashing this rom, the battery won't charge over 93% or something like that.
6. I wanted the phone to reach more battery % so i did something that read here at xda.
7. While the phone was off and charging, i removed the battery and once it showed the "?" symbol, i put back the battery, so it showed 5% and i panicked!!! because the tutorial said i had to install some zips from the recovery and when i tried to get into the recovery (i had already installed CMW) it didn't loaded the recovery. I pulled off the battery and try many times to get in the recovery but i couldn't so i powered on the phone an let it charge for hours but it didn't worked.
8. I was getting crazy so i tried to calm down and do some research here at xda, i was reading for hours until i found This thread , the guy said the the only thing that i had to do was waiting for the app to show approximately 4200mV and hit fix, it should fix the problem:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
in my case, percentage shown was 8% and when i hit the fix, it raised 2 or 3 points (remember this numbers) i guess, but didn't fixed it at all (100%) so i started hitting fix every 10 minutes after being sure that the voltage was 4200 or above.
9. While doing this fix thing every while, i saw that every time it raised 3 or 2 points at the percentage shown, (the whole process was done with the phone plugged into the wall charger). I sttoped when the percentage shown was 97% because i was afraid it would cross to some 100%+ percentage, and 97% was nice for me.
10. After fixing the battery indicator issue, i decided to follow carefully a tutorial too install Neutrino rom 2.9 EE that i mentioned before.
11. The whole process was great and i successfully installed the Neutrino Rom i was happy and everything was fine.
12. When i was looking around the features of the new rom, the phone freezed and rebooted i thougt that maybe i was touching so many settings that it became unstable,although i didn't touch anything about processor speed , so i power on again and after a while another reboot , and another and another, i started to get mad at this and tried to find out what was causing this reboots.
13. Suddenly i had an idea and pulled off the microsd card, after this, the phone was like 9-10 hours without any rebooting and i was playing and installing several apps, and checking some tweets and facebook and everything was fine.
14 After like 11 hours since the last reboot, the phone rebooted again and this made me mad again.
15. I turned on the phone again and i saw it had like 40% of battery left, so i plugged it and let it for an hour, when i checked back the battery level, it was at 92%, so i let it for about half an hour more and it had again 92% of battery.
16. So i thougth, well during the flashing process the battery indicator got miscalibrated again, so... (pay attention to this) i run the app that fixed my problem at (see step 8 and 9 above) , it was at 92% and remember i saw that it "jumped" like 2 or 3% off battery shown, but instead, it jumped to 100% and battery shown jumped from 92% to 177% i panicked!! (again), and unplugged the phone.
17. I continued using the phone normally and before going to bed i plugged the phone.
18. After like 2 hours charging, i went to check the phone back and it was DEAD
So i tried this:
1. Plug the phone to the wall charger ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
2. Plug the phone to the wall charger without battery ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
3. Plug the phone to the PC via usb with battery ---> RESULT: green led turns on for 1 seconds and then goes off
4. Plug the phone to the PC via usb without battery ---> RESULT: green led turns on and stays turned on, until i put back the battery
5. Plug the phone to the wall charger (samsung galaxy s3 1mA) ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
6. Plug the phone to the wall charger without battery (samsung galaxy s3 1mA) ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
I hope some of you can help with this, i've read a lot of posts but they are from 2011 or 2012, i'm making this one because non of those gave any help. Thank you very much for your atenttion.
That's very strange...
But the random reboots you are having an neutrino are not your fault, I had those two... I think sometimes it just hang on the deep sleep and wouldn't turn on so I'd have to pull battery and then boot up again. Maybe that's your problem, too, try pulling battery.
If this doesn't fix it, does long press on power do anything?
In the end you could still charge the battery externally though you'd have to look what voltage you need and which pins you need to connect.
As far as the 100+ percentage goes, that is reasonably normal. It happens to everyone sooner or later (me included), and mostly happens if you choose to restart the service instead of rebooting the device. A reboot should help (always does for me). But even if it doesn't, there's no reason to panic - it's just a number. It does not mean your battery is being severely overcharged lol.
I see you're using an older version of the app. You should try upgrading. Not to say a newer version will make any kind of difference, but hey, newer is better, right?

1. I already pulled the battery but it didn't helped me.
2. Long press on power does nothing.
3. I'm looking for someone who can tell me if the battery is ok using a multimeter
but i think it's very strange, because even without battery the phone should turn on screen when plugged to the wall charger.
4. Thank you.

1. Oops didn't realize that you connected your phone to pc without battery, Sorry
2. Ok, was just a theory
3. It should be alright, (if you know which pins to connect ) but you can read through this guide.
4. You're welcome (but the thanks button is a lot easier...)
I hope you can get your phone to work again, but if charging via multimeter doesn't help, you'd have to send it in I think
It's alive!!!
I'm glad to tell you that my phone is alive again, and the only thing that I did was, leaving it in a box with the battery in, and today I tried to turn it on and it turned on, the charging via wall charger is also working and everything seems to be fine. Thanks for the help.

Are you sure that your battery didn't get wet? maybe it is on short-circuit, if I was you I would change it.

Hey guys,
So I was outside working in the yard and had music playing on my phone, I then walked into the garage and back and my phone was off when I got back. It wasnt in the sun when I left it out. Anyways It was connected to my laptop charging all night and had close to a full charge when it shut off. I plugged it into the wall for hours, plugged it into a linux laptop for a while, plugged it into a windows tower for a while, and no luck. Ive held down the power for up to a minute, Ive tried power and volume down and no luck.
Phone has the newest version of CM 4.3 10.2 8/7 with crpalmers 4.3 kernal installed.
Any suggesetions? Id ask in the forum thread for CM 10.2 but I dont have enough posts.
Try a different cable and attempt to charge overnight with a wall charger.
htc response
After contacting HTC they told me to do a battery recalibration which was charge for ten minutes and hold vol down vol up and power for 2 minutes but no dice.
Ive only had this phone for a month and they suggested I contact Verizon and try to get a replacement. Since this phone is competely whacked and I cannot RUU im curious If I should send it to verizon or If it will get declined.

That is what I was thinking. I tried to put it into fastboot by holding down volume and power, waited and then pressed power again and then plugged it into my computer and ran "fastboot devices" and "fastboot -- s" and both came back with waiting for device.
I watched the JTAG video but I honestly dont see a repair guy going through that much trouble to find out why it was bricked.
Fingers crossed I dont end up paying 500
This sucks
Just had this happen to me on Carbon 4.3 latest running stock kernel. Had mine on the charger overnight. My wife says that it was still working when she got up at 0730, but when I got up at 1000 it wouldn't turn on. Tried everything I could think of: Different cables, different power sources, nothing will get it to show a charging light or turn on. Ugh.

any luck ? if you need a spare borrow phone let me know ...
round 3
well I sent my first phone back into verizon and they sent me another one. All was well and I didnt get hit with a $500 fine, but within a week the same thing happened to the second phone as did the first. [ running PA with stock kernal, played a few songs and then dead with no charge light for days ] I received my 3rd phone yesterday and Im terrified to even root it now haha.
Is this a common problem with this phone? or maybe im having trouble with aosp roms. I really want to install PA again.
Same thing happened to me...

I had the same thing happen to my phone. I was playing music in the garage and when I came back, deader than a door nail. I finally ended up sending mine in to HTC. They sent back a working phone. What irritated me most besides having to pay shipping to get the phone to them when it was an under warranty repair, was the fact that they did not tell me what they fixed. And since the wifi MAC address was changed, I assume they swapped out the guts or something. Apparently there are issues with this phone that they don't want to share? I got the phone rooted again and am currently running crdroid with crkernal and the battery life is beyond horrible. I can charge it completely, leave it set at home and not use it at all and when I get home and check it, it's completely dead. Nothing. Very frustrating because I enjoy the phone when it's functioning correctly.
interesting nonetheless since mine died running the latest cm10.2 just before 4.3 came out hmm wonder if something with cyanogenmod is messing with the devices but if that was the case then everyone would be having this very same issue i dont know waiting on a repair from htc myself as i have heard nothing from them yet accept tracking shows in repair
Same thing just happened to mine running CM 10.1. Getting a new one from verizon tomorrow and I guess ill be sending them my dead rooted DNA.
Mine did something similar a couple of months ago. I was running carbon, listening to music. The music stopped and the phone was dead. I was able to boot into recovery. Initiated a reboot and got a popup about losing root and did I want to fix it. Selected yes and that was the last time it powered on.

Mine just did the same thing today. I was outside working in the yard cleaning up leaves and listening to music via headphones. All of a sudden the phone was dead. Not even 30 min before that it was at 90%+ battery. Now it won't turn on and the charging light won't even come on when it's plugged in. I've been running rooted S-off Viper ROM for a while without any previous issues. Is there something that I could try to fix it? I'm so confused about what happened. I'm pretty sure I'm out of the warranty too.
Had the same thing happen to mine. Sent it back and got a new one.

Update: Popped the back cover off after trying every button push/plugged in wall/plugged in computer/not plugged in combination possible and took the 2 tiny screws out of the battery connector and unhooked it, left the phone to sit for about 10 min, put it all back together and WAALA! It turned back on like nothing had happened. The battery was down to 55% though and it was 90+ when it turned off. Either it drained 40% and wasn't taking a charge while it was off since I had it plugged in a considerable amount of time that it was off without a light OR the more likely scenario is that I think the battery completely died somehow and it was actually charging without the light coming on and it had only gotten to 55%. Either way: if your experiencing this problem go for the battery. Watch a YouTube video to see how to get the thing apart, it's not that hard. Just make sure your gentle taking it apart the first time and don't rip the rubber gasket, it's sealed with a tiny amount of silicon so gently peel it off and place it back into its groove before reassembly.

It all started with the vs985 stuck at lg logo. I was browsing through Facebook and then suddenly the phone rebooted. It was Warm to the touch but the 801 processor does get this warm. So I let it cool down a little bit and try to turn on the device. No hope it was stuck at lg logo no Verizon logo. So I figured that it might be at a boot loop state so I download both the .tot and the .kdz files just for the safe side. Download the correct drivers on the LG website and the correct .dll files for it I began to flash and then it failed. It gives me NULL imei and NULL pid and gives an error of model check. So I uninstalled the .tot flashtool and went on to try the kdz method. Still no hopes it just stucks at 4% and gives an usb connection error after performing the S/W Flash via kdz . Then I found a form that recommended me to download another .dll file mainly the lg8974.dll to sort of bypass an force flash it. It brings back the imei but it gives some random error at fails at 6%. I don't know what is left.
Some Questions in Mind
Q1: Am I download the wrong .dll file
Q2: Am I using the wrong method or the wrong firmware file
Q3: Am I just Dumb or don't know about this and there is already a discussion on this topic
P.s: The phone was rooted via kingroot. It was on android lollipop 5.1.1 and the files I tried were the VS98510B_03.tot and VS98512B_00.kdz
I will thank every one you can help me .

Well, it could be any number of things, but I'll ask this: how old is the phone? I started seeing this issue right after my phone started having problems with the SD Card slot. it was ANY SD card that would become ejected for no apparent reason and it would only remount it either after 30 minutes or so, or a reboot, but it would eventually fail again.
Then, I started getting random reboots and it would hang at the LG logo and then nothing. Screen goes dark, no lights, removing the battery didn't help, etc.
So, many have stated it could be either 1) a bad battery and a replacement will fix your issues or, 2) sadly, your phone is having hardware failures.
I'm taking mine in today to CPR+ to see if they can do a diagnostic on it and maybe they have a spare battery to see if it will work. if not, then my phone is toast. I've already replaced it, but if it was indeed the battery, it would be nice as I'll get a new battery and have the G3 as a spare. Mine was two years old and had just gone off contract when it started failing.
If you can still get into download mode, you might have a shot, but I don't know. Seeing that it just started to randomly reboot into the LG logo and hang, that is probably a sign of hardware failure like mine, especially if you can't flash any more. I couldn't either and now, it will not go into download mode nor charge. No LED lights, nothing. I doubt the battery was an issue for me, but it's worth a look since it's a free diagnostic.

You might have to try the hard-brick recovery flash then. I can't get into download mode, or when I was able to, it would stay there for about 30 seconds and then the screen would go black. Now I can't even get it to turn on or charge.
The hard brick option, if you're not familiar with it, means you have to expose the motherboard and short two pins. Not too difficult, but can be a pain, but it's a way to flash the phone if it's in bulk mode. Doesn't sound like you are in bulk mode. Otherwise, not sure what else you can try. Hope you get it figured out.
I would say with it being 2 years old, it might be hardware failure. Right around December of this year, more and more people were reporting issues like what you see and what I see, and many turned out to be hardware failure as the devices were coming on 2 years or were over 2 years old. Wear and tear I guess. I know I constantly kept it hooked up to a power chord when playing games like Game of War so I would never lose power, and I think a lot of that caused my issues. The battery was probably on it's last leg, and I know my USB port was loose, so I had to be careful when it was hooked up to the PC or one wrong movement during a flash could cause the USB connection to be lost and then, brick! And I'd have to start over flashing a TOT or KDZ.
Not sure what your usage was of the phone, but if it was like mine (constantly charging it every day, multiple times per day), that can also cause your battery to degrade quickly and in less than two years.
I'm taking mine into Cell Phone Repair Plus today to get a diagnostic done on it, just for giggles. Hopefully, if it IS the battery, they can test it with a new battery to see if it turns on. it will probably go to the LG logo and that's it because the last time I used it was attempting to flash the 10b tot and then it turned off in the middle of the flash, so I have an incomplete flash, but I was able to get it to turn on and go into download mode, but then, it would turn off within 30 seconds to a minute. So either that is battery or it's a hardware issue (or both).

Thank you IBOLSKI for the information you helped I did send the phone for repairs just to see if it was a hardware failure turns out it was the battery that caused this problem in the first place my phone will arrive tomorrow with the replaced battery hopefully the guys over there did the flashing and it succeeded. Thank you for all the support you gave me .
