Ok, so I do not know what happened, but now, my battery is very low. I have TWRP installed, so whenever I plug or unplug from my stock Fire charger, or press the power button, it will display "Charging low battery, please wait", and the indicator button turns green, and powers off. When I try the method showed here, it will turn dark orange for a few seconds, then when TWRP starts, it is replaced with green then turns off.
I would really appreciate any help!
Here is a youtube video:

So, it is fine even if the charging light does not come on?

Yes. In fact, if you get your kindle working, when you charge it, see how much the battery increases in 30 min. Then, do it again with it off. My battery was charging 10% in 30 min, and when its off its charging 19%.

Ok, I tried that, however it does not work. The light will turn on when I plug it in, and when I hold it down for 20 seconds. I will try again with a different cable, but are there any other suggestions?
Wow, I cannot believe this! Someone did something to my kindle, and now it was working! Of course, you helped greatly, Josepho!
Somewhat related question, does the KF charge while in recovery? TWRP 2.0 specifically. In my experience with phones charging doesn't happen while in recovery, at least in CWM recovery.
EDIT: seems to be charging in recovery.
Yes, it should.

All,
I followed the steps to root my Evo by coming from 2.2 back to 2.1 in order to apply the unrEVOked method. Everything installed fine and I was able to boot into a custom ROM.
I then applied Manup's theme and my Evo continued booted to the splash screen and then stopped. Removed battery and inserted and now the phone won't even power on. Plug into wall and no charging indicator....does is sound like my Evo may be bricked? Also how could this be if the custom bootloader was available and allowed me to boot into recovery?
Does this sound like I'll need to have it replaced?

did you try and power up and hold down the down volume button to boot into recovery that way
Yes...that was the first thing I tried. Now the phone won't power on period whether I hold down the power by itself or with holding down the volume down button.
Even plugging it into the charger doesn't start the charging indicator
Had the same thing happen to me once. Plug into charger forvten minutes then try turning on. I can't explain whybthe chargevled didn't come on but mine came back on after it charged for awhile.

I'll let it charge for awhile and see if that fixes the problem
If the charging light does not come on when its plugged in. Attempt removing power, waiting a few seconds and plug it back in. You'll be wanting that light on.

In addition take out the battery for at least 30 seconds I did for a full minute, I had this exact thing happen removing all power sources seemed to help. Use the down arrow when powering on it should go into the bootloader. Also make sure you have a fully charged battery.
So I let it sit on the charger all night and still nothing.
I removed the power cable and plugged it back in with no results. I also removed the battery for 5 mins and put it back in....nothing.
I swapped batteries with a friennds evo that does have at least 50% charge....nothing.
I have the sam problem, what did you do to get it fixed
please respond
did you ever find a way to unbrick your evo because mine is bricked. i cant do anything with it. it wont accept a charge or even power on. i cant even get to the bootloader screen. and it has no charge light when plugged in to a power source. PLEASE HELP!!
So, I woke up this morning and I went to go check some messages on my phone, but when I checked, the phone wouldn't turn on. I charged it like I usually did and when I got to it, the blue led light was flashing. Not brightly, but just like it would try to turn on, but it can't so the light slowly fades away. I tried to hold the power + volume buttons (both up and down) but it still wouldn't do anything. Any help before I take it into sprint?

can you charge the battery? is the battery loose? I would take it to sprint and let them check it out.
Yeah. I think I might just take it back to sprint. But it won't charge at all I think.
Pull the battery and leave it out for a few minutes then try again.

I've done that and I actually start seeing the empty battery logo. But It's only for a second. I think there's a problem with the battery or the charger thing

Okay, My phone actually started up now. The battery is not charging though
Just kidding. It's charging. Anyone know if I should be worried about anything?
Are you using an after market charger?

Get a brand new quality USB cable. A HUGE amount of issues can be resolved by just doint this, believe me.
I was using the charger cable it came with but connected to my computer
well your computer USB port can only push 500mA out max. sounds like its undercharging your phone. the stock charger pushes 1000mA or 1A.
So here's the story.
It was last night. It was dark, and I proceeded to charge my phone. I didn't see where I was plugging in the adapter into the wall, so instead of having both adapters in the correct sockets, I had the right prong of the adapter into the left hole of the power bar socket, and the left prong of the adapter into nothing.
Of course, being dark, I didn't see, but it went in so I thought I plugged it in properly.
So my phone is "charging", and I proceeded to flash a new ROM (Android Overdrive). My battery at that time was at around 30%. So I went to recovery, did the regular full factory reset, and flashed it, and when it rebooted, it had the 4-coloured X boot animation playing, when I heard a funny, continuous, low electronic humming sound eminating from my phone and the screen started getting funky and turned a shade of purple. I quickly unplugged the usb, and proceeded to restart the phone.
Phone freezes at boot animation.
I went into bootloader, and successfully navigated to recovery. I proceeded to do a full wipe, and reflash the old rom.
It flashed successfully but I had the same problem of getting stuck on the bootanimation.
Now the phone won't turn on when I press the power button. When I plug it into the wall it shows the charging icon thing, then it turns off, then it turns back on, and repeats like that forever.
When I press the power button when it's plugged in the phone gets stuck at the charging battery screen (The screen freezes).
Also, when I plug my phone into my computer, my computer (windows 7) makes a disconnect sound, followed by three short beeps in quick succession that are at the same pitch as the last note of the two-note disconnect melody. It does this on repeat forever.
PS: I just managed to put the phone into bootloader mode and I am leaving it plugged in. I am going to see if it is still responsive after 30 minutes of just sitting there on the homepage of bootloader mode.
PPS: It was stable after 30 mins; I could still press up and down and select whatever i want. BUT as soon as I unplugged the USB, the device shut off. Is it the battery problem?
Does anyone know yet what's wrong with my phone?
A friend of mine had a similar problem... Never solved it, keep us updated mate...
Sounds like a battery problem. You might wanna get a replacement battery if you can. Word of advice. Never ever flash anything if your phone isn't fully charged or at a good battery percentage. Personal experience

Yes sir you are correct! I have a friend who also had a Gnex, and I swapped batteries and lo and behold, my phone works again! Now I don't have to drop $400 on a nexus 4 =D
When I turn on the download mode on my lg g pad it was a low battery charge. The tablet didn't sew and now I cannot it turn on. May you advice me what I can do with my tablet so that it included? Thanks.

Okay, on some devices if the battery gets really drained you actually need to try a different charger to find one that may work. As an example my old kindle fire got drained to the point that the factory wall charger would not charge it at all (no reaction when plugged in overnight) but when I plugged it in to a computer and left it plugged in for an hour) it started to take a charge. So the first thing I would do is try a computer (which typically would charge slower) and see if the tablet responds to that. With the kindle fire running android I had to plug it in and leave it in for a while in order to get the device to respond when it was really drained.
In addition you may try holding the power button for 15 seconds or so once it is plugged in this should do the equivalent of a battery pull resetting the tablet which may then let it take a charge...
See if that approach works...

Tried putting smasung charger, charging by pc, nothing of these two works!
so, i have an xda devs thread explains my problem, please visit it and give a feedback please!!
First thing is first, I have been searching here and Google and have not found this exact problem.
I am running cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY currently
Today my phone turned off on its own while connected to a car charger.
Here is what it is doing.
When the battery is connected the phone turns on and gets to the Samsung logo, then it goes black. No back light, nothing. If I pull the battery and re-insert it, it happens again. Once it goes black none of the buttons seem to be responsive (cannot force a reboot by holding the power button). Once it goes black if I connect it to a charger I get no LED indicating charge level.
If I try to boot into recovery I see the blue text and then it goes black.
If I try to boot into download mode I can get to the triangle screen if I am fast and then it goes black.
If I have a data USB cable connected and I connect the battery the phone does nothing, and will not respond to the power button, again no LED light indicating charge level.
If I have a charge only cable (wall outlet) connected and I connect the battery I see the battery charge icon for about 1 second and then the screen goes black. and the phone will not respond to any buttons.
I have duplicated all these things with 2 batteries both actual Samsung batteries, neither of the batteries is bubbled out at all.
I have tried leaving the battery out for several hours, but this did not help.
I have data on this phone that was not backed up so any suggestions I will try.
Thanks

Return to stock with Odin to see if the problem goes away. If not, report back and we will go from there.

Here's a thread talking about that issue. I'm afraid it sounds like your display is dead:

I had this problem before and I was freaking out, but it was just the cord I used when trying to connect it, but yours sounds like an overload problem, maybe from your car charger if it plugs into the car lighter socket. My buddy has a super recharger that hooks into his lighter socket, and while it may charge fast, it might have jolted your phone, or maybe you had it over clocked in your rom? Or was it a recent occurrence or did it happen as soon as you installed the rom? Because this happens on a bad flash sometimes, if your Wi-Fi connection is shaky or far off, you could get a bad download and it will royally harm your time having to mess with it.

I had flashed the night before and it ran fine all night and all morning, then it just shut down. The car charger I use is not a super charger, but it is also not a Samsung charger. I was not overclocked and my wifi is not shaky usually.
Seems like I am screwed either way.

This blows, I just had the Same Exact thing happen last night, word for word.
Although I'm on a stock Rom that's rooted.
Phone was in my pocket and it vibrated as it restarted on its own. Pulled it out of my pocket, waited for it to fully start up, then I could use it.
However, it rebooted 2 minutes later and has Never come back yet.
I wish there was some sure fire way to verify if its the screen that went bad or the logic board. The mere fact the screen shows the Galaxy S4 logo, or Download Mode for a few seconds before shutting off seems weird if the screen was in fact bad.... =(

You were correct! Had to mess with that button a bit to get to work properly, but its still an issue. One to many power button presses and the issue returns.
I have tested the phone without the exterior power button only using the logic board button and it did that same thing. Am I correct to assume that the fault is the actual button on the logic board? So new logic board to fix this? =(
Why so many presses of the power button?
