Bricked or dead? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was flashing a ROM, kernal, and radio. The phone went to reboot and nothing. I have tried the power button, holding down the volume rocker and the power button, both with and without the USB plugged in. When I plug it into the computer the computer beeps meaning it sees something is plugged in but the RUU doesn't see. The most telling thing to me the LED doesn't lite up indicating it's charging. So did I somehow brick it dead as a hammer or did it die?
I searched but didn't see anything like this. The other bricks I would would still turn on.

If it is bricked you probably did it flashing the radio. I hope someone can help you. And I know you might be panicking, but for future reference, this thread belongs in another section. Just saying before you get flamed.

Hate to say it but pretty sure its bricked. I don't mess with radios knowing my luck I'd have a nice paper weight.

Try new or different drivers...RUU's can sometimes suck in that aspect.

Try another battery/battery pull yet?

Does it ever boot up into a black screen with green arrows in a circle?

Try this as I was in the same situation. Strange as it may sound it's sometimes your cable and charger and the voltage that it is sending.
Mine did that after an updated kernel. It would charge and then drain and it went to blank and nothing. Battery pulls, different cables, etc. nothing seemed to work. I was about to get a replacement. So I thought I would just try another charger. well I had already tried the car charger(no good), I tried the usb charger(no good) and I tried the usb pc(no good). As a what the hell thought I plugged in the OEM HTC charger and it worked.
Now today I flashed the CM 6 WIMAX ROM with the WIMAX Kernel that is used with it and guess what? The OEM charger would not take and charge at all but another wall charger and PC USB port will charge the phone.
It is strange but it is happening. Just thought I would share my experience so maybe you can experiment with it before calling it quits on your current setup.
If you have your OEM HTC USB wall charger make sure you use that. You will know if it works. It will blink an orange LED slowly. If so then let it sit for a few and then boot into the recovery and try another kernel.
What was your last kernel?
Good luck.

Try starting up in recovery. I guess you know how to do that since you were flashing uh.

As in holding down the volume and powering on? If so, no dice. It won't boot at all.

How long has it been? I remember once my phone was spazzing out after a flash and wouldnt boot right. I ended up pulling the battery and letting it sit for a good 10 minutes without battery. Reinserted and was then able to boot to bootloader and flash a PC36IMG.zip

try another battery, I would think that unless the phone is total doorstop there should be a light on when charging even if off

I don't access to another battery unfortunately.

Try booting with the sd card removed, just to rule it out.

try battery pull wait 10 seconds(for cache reset) then insert
then try Vol. down and power.
if not try power on(after cache reset)

Take the battery out.most of the time doing this will reset the phone.I had the same thing happend to me.I hope this helps

dead or bricked

yes that may very well work.(learned from experience

Try this ..pull the battery and with the battery off press the power button for 30 seconds and put the battery back on and try to boot into bootloader...see if that works .

Bricked?

Pretty sure it is. From a battery pull, phone will not power up. After pressing the power button the phone will vibrate once after a few seconds, but nothing else. Attempting to boot into the bootloader (power+volume down) does absolutely nothing. Any suggestions?
Pull the battery then plug it into the charger and let it charge for about an hour then try to turn it on.

It's not due to a drained/dead battery. I should have mentioned I already ruled that out. I did just that, plus tested with a spare battery. No change.

I'm happy to report I've successfully unbricked my phone. For those curious about the actions I took, continue reading.
First off, what caused my phone to behave the way it did is beyond me. I had a hunch the phone was powering up and booting though as it was giving me that vibrate.
Here's what I did. Pulled the battery and let it sit for 5 min. Reinserted the battery and connected the phone to my computer. It gave me the charge indicator LED. I pressed the power button and let sit for about another 5 minutes. No indication from the phone that anything was happening mind you.
I ran a RUU to see if it saw the phone. Low and behold it did. The phone still appeared dead. I let the RUU run and do it's thing. After completion my phone successfully rebooted and loaded up just fine.
Although I do not know what caused the anomaly, I suspect firmware corruption/malfunction.
Anyway, all seems to be well now.
*phew*

any way to charge a phone once completely dead

any way to charge a phone once completely dead
as the title states, once in the bootloop issue if your battery ends up at 0% and can't be charged is there a way out of this. Here is my issue. I can't get into recovery. Hboot or fastboot are the only options available. Sometimes it boots into the ROM but instantly dies once restarting. No clue as to the trigger as I've tried pretty much all the combinations of factory reset, reboot-bootloader, erase cache etc etc etc trying to get this into a non on mode so it can charge.
In addition to this of course anytime I plug the phone in it automatically turns on in either bootloader or fastboot which gives it no opportunity to charge at all otherwise I would simply run the RUU which won't let me until it hits 30%. I've more or less come to the conclusion I have to send it in because its not quite the same situation that others have experienced. But was hoping to get an answer/fix so I don't have to send it in to HTC to get repaired since the RMA guys just told me it'll be 10 business days before they even get in parts to the texas facility to get it sent there for repairs.
also of note, I had managed to relock the bootloader but can't get enough juice to run the RUU
What about borrowing a battery or getting one and charging it. That would be better than sending it in.

With the current recovery. The phone can't charge while off. You can't let it die
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
yeah so far I've tried literally everything out there. I almost need a way to figure out how to wipe the rom so it can't restart and sit on the loading screen so it can charge, but so far no luck with anything in the forum. I've literally tried it all.
Could be worse, my replacement comes today (but cost the same sadly, looks like the gf will get a new one when I can send it out to htc for repairs and get it back)
So, when you plug the charger in, the phone starts up into hboot or something? And can you not press and hold power for 10 secs to force it to power off while still plugged in? My phone was charging while it was completely off. That's after I discharged it completely, it shut itself off.
any time I plug it in it automatically turns back on. If I hold down the power button for 10 seconds it simply reboots.

By either plugging in every time it stops charging or rebooting it like that you should be able to gradually charge it over 30%, that's what I heard. So it's not as easy as plug in and wait, but rather plug in, unplug, plug back in.
I have this same issue. Arent their any recoveries that charge while in recovery mode??
Yes.. The stock recovery. You need to flash that.
again, can't flash diddly because of low battery. So flashing stock recovery does nothing as it would end in an error.
Very possible solution! Worked for me!
It seems my reply via the XDA-App did not come through.. As I wanted to reply.
My H0X was also dead. Wouldn't charge nor boot, with wall charger or by pc.. but I thought.. well let's give it a chance by using my iPhone 4 charger (with HTC cable of course)
Guess what: It worked!
SO TO ALL WHO IS HAVING THIS 'WILL NOT CHARGE' PROBLEM:
Try an other charger, even try your wireless mouse, or other phone chargers.. Anything!

you don't think something silly like this idea has been done? When the phone is plugged into any outside source of charge, it turns on in bootloader. This does not charge it...
Get into fastboot and try charge ..same happened to me when I tried to install Mike's Rom. So what I ended up doing was after trying a millions things to get a little charge so I could flash stock recovery and relock bootloader. I turn phone off. Plug charge for 2 seconds unplug. Plug again unplug. Big pain in the ass. Don't let charger to long cause it boots phone againg. So usually u see led turn on then few seconds later it goes off that's when u have to unplug charger. Do that again a few times. Enough to get a little charge again to flash stock recover. Once u flash stock recover phone charges normally. You also need the correct RUU for ur phone. That's after flashing stock recovery then relock bootloader then flash ruu. Then u can try again a custom Rom or whatever u were doing

[q] help me please serious problem

So I've had a my Galaxy Nexus for some time now. I'm rooted and I was running AOKP with absolutely no issues what so ever.
Then out of the blue my phone wouldn't charge when it was turned on, so I had to power down to charge. When this finally stopped and I actually COULD charge while powered on, when I would disconnect from the wall outlet the phone would continue to display the bolt icon and say charging - an issue which I could never solve.
Then the next day the Power Button stopped responding all together and the screen would not power down because I have settings configured to keep the screen on whilst charging, and as the phone was under the illusion it was still charging this meant the screen would never turn off. Other than those two issues the rest of the phone worked perfectly.
But eventually constant powering of the screen whilst ACTUALLY off charge killed the battery. So, obviously, I plugged it in. And all I get is the white charging indicator of the large battery and the bolt inside, I cannot boot beyond this because of the irresponsive power button but the animation shows me that the battery is charging and I imagine it is full at this point.
Reading through some forums online for the past few days a reoccurring suggestion appeared to be unscrewing the back and checking the connections to the power button - but upon trying this I managed to get out 5 of the 6 screws and unfortunately failed and rounded the final one off.
I really need help you guys. My phone is my life and on it at the moment are lots of important files. Any suggestions are appreciated greatly.
I'm only worried to send the phone to either Samsung or my Carrier because it is rooted and because of the rounded screw, surely my warranty is voided now? and I can't unroot because the power button is dysfunctional. The only good thing I think is that the fact I see the charging indicator tells me that the phone is not bricked, but how can I get onto it without a power button?
I only need the phone booted up so that I can restore my data and at least attempt to unroot. HELP PLEASE HELP!
Try to boot into recovery by pressing the power bottom and both volume up and down. And try a fresh install of the ROM also try not using the keep screen on feature as it uses a lot of battery and takes longer to fully charge. And you can burn the screen with that feature turn on.

My power button isn't responding. All that happens is when I connect it to power I see the white charging indicator - tells me its not bricked - however, a couple of times I've help the power button trying to boot it and it boots into ODIN MODE but then where its says start and points to the power button, I press it and nothing. It's totally irresponsive about 99.99999% of the time:/
When ever you start having issues with a ROM it could be an app or a setting in the ROM features causing issues a fresh install can sometimes fix it. I would keep trying to see if you can boot in to the recovery and flash something. With one screw being mess with I can see Verizon charging you for a replacement unless you have the extended warranty. Which is still 100 $ to use. Good luck.

If you can get it to be recognized by USB
adb reboot bootloader
From there follow the guides to get back to stock via fastboot once you get back stock
fastboot oem lock.
Then try warranty if your problems still exist.

I actually have the same problem. Running the blackice ROM. I absolutely love the ROM but i have to keep switching chargers and/or hoping it will charge. Had to take battery completely out and put it on one of those wall things. Have done a compete wipe and reinstall but didn't change. It's not charging when plugged in but it's not charging either. Just goes from discharging to not charging in the about phone stats..

If it boots into ODIN mode and you're _just_ pressing power, that means you probably have an error where it thinks your VOLUME DOWN button is being pressed, not the power button.
You have to do a battery pull to get out of ODIN mode, btw.
Let us know: what happens if you boot into ODIN, pull the battery, and then just boot up pressing power....
No one else sees the trend ?
All of the people having this issue are running AOKP (or a kang of it(blackice)).

HTC One X Won't Power On Or Charge

Hey, I got a HTC One X today and used it for about 2 hours, and after going into location settings the phone froze for a while, then eventually it switched itself off. I couldn't get it to switch on, and when I connected it to the charger, I noticed the LED was no longer lighting up when connected to the charger.
So I done some reading, and heard that if you hold the power button for 10 seconds, its basically the same effect as pulling the battery on other phones. So I held it for 10 seconds and the phone booted up, it got the the lockscreen straight after booting up, when I tried to unlock it, I realized that it was frozen again. Then after a while it powered itself off again, so I tried to power it on, once again it was not working. So I tried holding the power button for 10 seconds, this time its not working, no matter how many times I've tried it doesn't work.
The phone wasn't rooted, I never done anything to damage it, I read that if you hold the power and volume down it will go to the bootloader, where I would be able to factory reset the phone, but even after hold those 2 buttons, still the phone is showing me no sign of life.
What should I do?
try to put in under charging, is the led red?
if it is, wait 10-15 minutes and try to go into fastboot with power button and volume down, and do a factory reset, or fist you wipe all your things try again to boot it up, maybe it was just without battery charge. is your phone new? or it's secondhand?

The phone is second hand, but condition wise its practically new, there's doesn't seem to be any damage, and its still under warranty, the seller said that he never had any problems like this.
When you says "put in under charging" do you just mean charge it? If so I have done that with both the computer and the AC adapter, and the LED is not lighting up.

Try plugging the phone into your PC via the official usb cable,
I know you've done that, but Whilst it's plugged in, press volume down & power at the exact same time and keep them held until your bootloader screen shows.

Yeah, I you should be leaving it plugged in.
Next step is to get Android SDK installed on your pc, even though it appears to not come on, you might still be able to run a fastboot charging script that will force your phone into its bootloader.

Update your packages on Android SDK
place the fastboot charging script in the same folder that fastboot is located on your pc
Usually: C:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
Double click the script
I have the script, it but won't let me share it to you.
It's on XDA though somewhere.

Ok, downloaded, and tried it now, but it only says waiting for device, so I guess its ain't being detected at all in this state.
The phone was connected for about 30 mins now and still the LED won't come on.
Leave the phone connected to the charger for a few hours. If it doesn't want to work, try pressing various combinations of volume and power buttons. Otherwise I suspect you have a brick.

My does after 10 sec. But still no power up

Leave the phone connected to the charger for a few hours. If it doesn't want to work, try pressing various combinations of volume and power buttons. Otherwise I suspect you have a brick.

I left the phone connected all night last night, and still the LED didn't light up, I tried every combination. I don't think its a brick because I wasn't doing anything at the time, and the phone wasn't even rooted.

Mine doesn't blink at all.
The thing I notice aswell after leaving it charge all night, is that it doesn't even get slightly warm. I can't believe HTC get away with releasing faulty crap like this. I had a 2 hour teaser before this started... Good job HTC.
Edit : Oh well, I gave up, I tried everything and anything and it wouldn't work, so I've sent it to HTC for repair since its still under warranty.
Edit2 : It took them a while, but there finished repairs now, and its on its way back to me. They replaced the Mainboard and the battery.
hello..just for sharing,.just now i woke up from bed and see that my phone cannot turned on.. you know what, during charging last nite, i forgot to off the screen(press the on button) so that my phone screen was kept turning on all the night,,.. i'd try to connect it with the charger but it still didnt work.no LED at all. after i read the comment from some of u, i decided to connect it to the PC .. fortunately, the red LED came out..
after wait for sometimes it was turning on..but sometimes can turn off back... its because of the bttery.. anyway, im so happy now.. hahha :laugh:

Soft Bricked

So, my LGOG is soft-bricked with a dead battery (happened during a twrp backup, although i swear it was at least 60% when i started). I can get to fastboot by holding vol up and power, and then plugging it in (i lgnpst'd teenybin), but when i try to load recovery it shows a black screen that says google and has an unlocked padlock at the bottom for an instant, then dies.
Everyone on IRC has been very helpful, especially autoprime. When i plug it in, the cap button lights and the red led flash. I plugged it the wall in for about 30 minutes, no heat, nothing. So I am just going to leave it unplugged for the night in hopes something will reset or die enough that the battery charges next time i plug it in. Otherwise I will try a battery pull, and go from there.
If anyone has any insight on getting my battery charged via another method, it is certainly welcome and appreciated.
Did it charge? I'm curios if you fixed it.

No, but I have not done the battery pull yet.

It may have just been my luck, but when this happened to me, I put the phone into download mode by plugging into a USB port while holding volume up and volume down. After that, I unplugged and powered off, then plugged back in to normal ac charger, and it began to charge, as it showed the battery icon. Left it for a bit, then booted it up no problem. Might be worth a try before opening the phone.

Well, when i unplug mine from download mode, it dies immediately, so i don't think I am getting an opportunity to power it off to reset, but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
UPDATE: I tried, but with no avail, it just goes back to flashing alternately between the cap lights and the red led. I am going to try flashing zv9 stock in lgnpst, to see if maybe i can get into stock recovery.
maybe try charging from download mode? only thing i can think of
Battery pull LGOG worked
Well, battery pull worked! As soon as I flipped that battery bracket back down, the phone powered up and booted fine.
Now here is the interesting part... my phone powered back up and the battery was at 69%. It was not by any means dead. I even left it off the charger for a while to confirm. So, something happened during my TWRP backup that tripped a fault. Could allowing the screen to timeout in TWRP have caused this?
Either way, I want to thank autoprime again for helping me get to this point. My LGOG is back!

Sounds like a corrupt restore!

Well since I LGNPSTd back when jelly bean leaked and I flashed the update, I have not done anything but root. In fact, I had just installed FreeGee and installed TWRP 2.5 and was doing my first backup. So, something must have gotten corrupt during the backup; possibly because I was on the flashed update vs the OTA, idk...
