So last night in a drunken fit of flashing I flashed CWM Touch for a Nexus 7
It seemed to work, until i rebooted, the screen went black and that was it.
It is unresponsive to anything, no power button, nothing when you plug it in, just dead.
Is there any hope?
is bootloader/fastboot ok?

Nope, holding vup/down and power does nothing.
I don't even get the battery icon on the screen when plugged in.
I've tried every combo of buttons, plugged in/not plugged in, with or without battery.

Try OMAP Flash.
Gotta love those drunken flashes...
TY, TY, TY!!!!!!!!
That did it.
I didn't even notice that the PC saw it when I plugged it in without the battery.
I have sworn off the drunken flashing.

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 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
I ran my battery all the way down last night. Left the phone on the wall charger overnight and it is not responsive. Tried to turn it on using all combinations of powers button and volume buttons. When the phone is connected to a pc it doesn't recognize it. But when I try to power the phone on while connected, the pc makes the sounds indicating something is connected.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Leave is connected to a powered PC port for a couple hours. Not sure why but I've had luck bringing devices back from beneath the cutoff voltage level using low amperage charging. Heck my best recovery charging port has been the USB port on my cable box.

Make sure you are using the original power adapter.

Thanks for the replies. I am using the OEM cable. I've tried putting it on power using the wall charger. I've also tried using a PC. I've tried the bright light trick. I've tried pressing both volume buttons, one volume button, the other volume button. I've tried power button by itself. I think I've pretty much bricked my phone. I'm willing to listen to other suggestions

Must be that time of the month.. this happened to me last night.
Left the house around 90%, phone was getting pretty hot.. So I rebooted, twice.. still hot.. so I turned it off for 15 minutes. It was still pretty warm after that, but I decided to turn it on again. When it came up, I was at 18%!. So I sent a couple of texts, and just turned it off thinking I would be able to turn it on later. No such luck. OEM charger does nothing, I plugged into laptop for 20 minutes, nothing.. So I left it on the charger overnight. I still have nothing this morning. Going to leave it on a PC USB port for awhile and see what happens..
Is there an official process for getting your phone back up??
I'm rooted, unlocked, s-off.. so I'm worried if I go to Verizon (it's only been 50 days), they'll discover that if they get my phone back up.
Left mine on the charger over night and held the power down as I took it off the charger seemed to do the trick.

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.

I would if I could get it into download mode... The screen will not stay on for more than 5 seconds and ODIN never sees the phone.
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.

If it was just the screen wouldn't I still be able to get into download mode?

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.... =(

Check your power button, it could be stuck.

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?

I was at dinner and noticed my phone screen wouldn't turn on did a battery pull, tried to boot into safe mode.. Nothing.. Haven't tried plugging in to my computer yet, any ways to power on from pm? The phone was never dropped of wet.

Try plugging it into your charger first. Let it sit for a minute and see if the screen lights up. When the phone is powered off, a charging animation will display. If that doesnt happen, especially after pressing and holding the power button, you may have to request a replacement.
