So here I am, just checking my phone after charging it.
I lowered my phone mhz before to save battery. Was putting it back to normal, when all of a sudden my phone just stops. Screen goes black. Like it was off. So I am like... umm.. dafuq? I try to turn it back on, nothing, and I try to put it into fastboot mode, NOTHING. Wat just happen. Any ideas? I pulled the battery out too, and well. This sucks. I really hope I didn't get bricked or some crap. I doubt it is though.
I hate to state the overly obvious, but is there any chance your battery is dead?

Lithium batteries have a fail safe in them, they kill themselves when they reached absolute zero, if the lithium has no charge at all and you attempt to charge it, bad things will happen (like your phone blowing up) buy a new battery off eBay, if that doesn't fix it, send it in to RMA

Before doing any of the above, plug the phone into a wall outlet and let it charge for 5 to 10 min as it can take some time for the phone to have enough juice to turn back on.

Well I was using my Evo just about 30 mins ago and the battery was low so after a couple of minutes it died. I tried turning it back on just to see if it was really completely dead and well it turned on got to the homescreen and it shut off again. At this point I go grab my charger and intend to charge the phone and the darn thing wont charge, at least thats what it seems like to me. Is the led charging light suppose to come on when the battery is dead and charging? Theres nothing going on right now its just there supposedly charging. I tried turning it back on and nothing happens, I removed the battery and put it back tried turning it on again and nothing. I also tried charging it while connected to a pc and it would detect my evo but all that would popup was that "qualcomm cdma technologies driver" could not be found. Im starting to worry because I haven't had any issues at all with my Evo. I was doing nothing really to cause it to brick not that I'm saying it is, I hope not. just browsing the internet while the phone was on and it died. My phone would charge just fine while it was on and never had an issue with the battery. I was running Cm6 10/7 nightly I believe with KingKernel #2. So is it suppose to take a while for the led to come on? is it suppose to be on? Is my phone dead? Help will be appreciated.
with it plugged into the wall charger or the pc turn the phone on and let it charge with the phone on.
letting these batteries run completely dry until your phone is dead and shuts off is B A D you can and will kill the battery.
i hope you didnt kill the battery.... but.. if you have a nbatteries plus near you you can go buy one cheaper than thru sprint. and have your phone running today. it might not say its a battery for the EVO but it uses the same battery as countless other HTC phones.,
you can also try walmart, best buy, and any place that sells or carries htc phones and accessories.

The thing is my phone wont even turn on or at least give me a sign that its charging its just sitting there connected to the charger but no led light. Does that mean theres something wrong with my phone or the battery? My pc still detects my phone but doesn't charge it. This is the very first time I actually let the battery completely die. Either way I'm going to try getting a new battery hopefully it helps.

so with the phone off, or what appears to be off, your pc still sees something connected... that isnt right, that sounds like the phone is hibernating or in a sleep mode.
so... what happens if you hold Vol Down, and then hold Power...
does it turn on to the fastboot/recovery menu ?
i guess you could try pulling the batter and just plug in the usb cable and try turning on the phone.
technically it should run without the battery (like a laptop will if you plug it into AC power) but i do not know. it probably wont turn on at all.
i would say take your bad batteyr with you and see if someone like Batteries Plus can test it, or Radio Shack.
all else fails, you buy a new one and hope it isnt the phone thats bad.
you can always take it to the sprint store. they wont screw with it, just tell them to see if their battery will make it turn on properly.
Ok so not sure what to do, mostly due to lack of time and patience..
I let my phone die today and when i plugged it in it had the orange led..i let it sit and it changed to an orange and green flash in the led..
i turned it on and the phone was powering but not holding a charge..
How long was it dead before attempting recharge? Did you attempt to use it with this low level of charge before recharging? You may have killed the battery.
it was dead for like 30 sec..the charging light doesnt glow anymore..it just flashes sometimes..
It sounds like the phone allowed the battery to discharge too far, which is a bit disconcerting. Do you have another battery to try?

My wifes phones from what it sounds like did the same thing. only the orange led light shows up while plugged in. Took it to the store and they did not have a phone to replace it with, so are ordering a new phone which will not get here till Thursday. The sales rep let my wife borrow her personal spare phone which is a feature phone...They said it wont effect the data plan... i am nervous and dont trust that we will be able to get the data plan back on the new DINC2 when it gets here on Thursday.
This situation sucks...
I personally have had that weird flashing aswell... although under different circumstances. I was downloading some torrent and saw that the battery was getting low so I plugged it in to my car and about 10min later it started doing that flashing. When I grabbed it the back felt incredibly hot so I disconnected it and turned the phone off. Then I removed the battery and it felt like it was going to burn my hand so I set it down and let it cool off. Afterwards, I put it back in and it was ok again.

It's possible you were putting some very high demands on the device, and did not lighten the load when you plugged it in, asking it to charge an already warm battery. Then again, something in the battery could have shorted.
Alright, so first off screw Verizon warranty replacement devices. I had 5 Droid Razrs that were defective and then they sent my the Nexus (Nexus WAY BETTER then the Razr.) And so I have the Nexus, and I had it rooted and unlocked, running AOKP and Franco Kernel and my phone dies so I plug it in and I turn it back on, I have 52% battery now, so alright I take the phone off of the charger, it dies about 30ish percent, so I plug it back in turn it on, and it's hung at 0% charging so I go about sending my texts and facebook, and notice it still hasn't charged anything (been about 20 minutes) so I'm thinking "awesome screwed my phone up somehow" so I revert back to completely stock 4.0.2, problem still consisting, so I'm going to call Verizon tomorrow and have them send me a NEW damn device, cause this is ridiculous. But the whole point of me even posting this is, has this occurred to anyone else?
Are you using the same cable that came with the phone? Some times that makes a difference!
Nope.
Sent from the future.
Battery might be wonky. Need to calibrate it. Charge it. Pull plug. Turn off. Plug back in to make sure topped off. Unplug. Pull battery for about 30s. Put battery back in. Turn on. If it still act up probably bad battery.
bow chicka wow wow.

I'll try this.
Maybe your charger is to weak? How many mAh does it have? The original charger has 1 mAh. Try to charge over the usb.

Sounds like the battery is jacked.
So I woke up this morning and my phone was A-OK. Charged to 100% overnight, and I left it plugged in while getting ready for work. I came back to it 20 minutes later and it was really warm/borderline hot to the touch (through a case). The battery was down to 85% yet still plugged in. I then drove to the train station 5 minutes away and it went down to near 50%, still really warm/hot.
Streamed some music and watched some Netflix on the 90 minute ride, and the battery was down to 35%. At this point I turned the phone off because it was still hot.
Plugged it in to charge at the office, and got a blinking red light for about 10 seconds. It then went solid red and stayed that way until I unplugged it 4 hours later. The phone was still quite warm, but no longer hot. Hold down the power button... nothing. Plug it back in, same red light pattern. I got nervous at this point and hit up good old El Goog to see what could be wrong.
Found a lot of threads pointing to the One X suffering this fate, along with a few One's. Followed the advise of holding VolUp + VolDown + Power for 2 minutes. The phone got hot again. Unplugged the phone, removed the SIM, and held the buttons again. The phone had cooled off dramatically while doing this, to the point that it is now cold to the touch. Reinserted the SIM, and plugged it in again... no light at all this time.
From this point on, the various threads disagree on the next steps. Plugging it in to the computer yields no light, just like an wall charger. I don't have the HTC cord with me at work. I've tried a Nokia micro USB cable and a Sony wall charger. Other suggestions call for leaving the phone off (like I have a choice on that part) and unplugged for several hours. Others say to mash the Power button for 10-20 times and that may cause it to power on.
Any suggestions on how I should proceed with this? My phone is unlocked, so I'd love to avoid replacing it.

Have you tried the bright light trick? Hold the phone under a bright light (really bright light, the brighter the better) and hold down the volume button + power for 15-20 seconds. That should get you into your bootloader. This will tell you whether or not its rom based, or phone based.
If you cant even get into your bootloader, it sounds like a hardware problem. If you can get into your bootloader but it will not boot to your rom, then its software.
Thats all I got for now. Sorry.
Seriously sounds like a battery/charging issue, gives all signs of a discharging battery. That would explain the heat build-up.
Was you using the charger that came with it? Or are you using a different charger? I once used my motorola cord to charge my phone and it felt like it was going to burst in to flames. I then got the HTC cord that came with the phone and it cooled down.

No luck on the bright light trick. I tried holding just power, power + down, power + up, and power + both underneath a fairly bright fluorescent light.

I don't have the OEM charger here, but I was using it at home to charge it. I'm hoping leaving it alone for another 4 hours will bring it back to life on the HTC cable.

Lets hope that it didnt turn on because the battery died. Hopefully the OEM HTC cable/charger will fix your issue.
If your battery is truly completely drained, it may take a few seconds for the light to finally come on... so dont freak out in the first 10 seconds.
Your battery could of went bad. Does your phone look like it has swelled anywhere from the battery expanding ?

I'm trying to remain calm until I get home. I haven't gotten a light in 30+ minutes of being connected to the Sony charger, but I'm chocking that up to it not being the HTC original.

It's tough to properly gauge it with my eyes, but nothing looks off. If I press down on the center of the phone at the top, the it does not lift off the table. If that push from the center at the bottom, it does lift off ever so slightly. But I don't know if this is because of the camera location or what.
Called up Verizon just to make sure there's no other method that I didn't try, and they advised me to get a replacement. I've got a few days to try and get this thing working before I'll have to send it back and say goodbye to root.
Interestingly enough, they were sure to warn me about physical damage and being subject to a $299 charge if there is any damage. But they didn't make any mention about if the device is found to be unlocked.
Well the cooling down certainly could have been the battery finally being completely dead. Maybe stop in a Verizon store to try another battery? No chance a bad SIM card could cause this right?

Try another battery? You mean just pop off the back cover, take out the old battery and try a new one? You're one sick troll.

I did remove the SIM before doing some of the steps as there were reports that a missing one will cause the phone to pop into recovery. I really hope I can get this one back to life so I don't have to wait for an S-Off exploit to root again.
Got home, plugged it in for several hours, no light. Looks to be quite dead.
Really sorry to hear this man.
I would keep it off 12-24 hours.
try it out.
also I have sent back MANY HTC Dev unlocked phones, they just flash the new software re-setting it back to S-ON, and stock. I don't think they really give a ****, esp if it's not an issue from say, S-OFF.
That's a pisser. My One has been rock solid. Sounds like a really weird issue. I doubt it's recoverable. I'd just go for the replacement. Generally even if it's unlocked they won't have any issue replacing it. In fact, here is Australia, retailers aren't allowed tor efuse warranty claims even if the device has been unlocked, rooted etc...
Perhaps put it into a bag and into the freezer for a few hours. That can sometimes resolve battery issues.
Did I read it correct that you were not able to go into the bootloader? (full Power off > vol down + power)?
If that's the case then you should head for a replacement.. if it is dead they probably wont be able to fire it up to check if its locked or not anyway

Very good point, and by the time they do, the guys at the repair center can't physically go and find every rooted phone, then bring it to corporates attention, they get the phones, reflash the software fix the problems listed and out goes another returd. I mean refub, sorry.
So my friend started charging her phone, and an hour later when she checked, it was turned off, and extremely hot. We haven't been able to turn it back on since then, it doesn't do anything, take battery out, put it back in, tried home + power + volume with battery, and without just straight with charger and nothing. What do you guys think it might have happened? I don't want to think her phone is done for lol.

Does the battery look messed up? Does it have a bump or something on it?
Also, worst case scenario, if she's stock.. send it to Samsung.
Maybe somehow either the phone fried or your battery did... He mightve left something open that was running on the background and it mightve got it hot... Thats what happened to me... But it didn't do that.. I quit wtever was running on the background, let it cool off and started charging it... So yea

A tricky issue
I'm having a slightly different problem..
till last night the Phone was OK..was charging..in the morning I found it dead..well turned off I would say..
I came to office put it on charging..
a battery appears in the middle of the screen with a circle inside it (as usual). After that a battery with about 5% juice (Green Liquid) shows up in the middle of the screen (again, as usual) and has 5 points underneath it..which animate from grey to white, and left to right (again, as usual)
but the thing is, the phone doesn't seem to charge and is not powering up.. I even tried the recovery mode and download mode but simply wont power up.
might as well mean that the battery is fried..just wanted to ask you guys if I am correct.
Im using Xperi-z-ied rom
