I just got this phone not 2 months ago and out of no where it just died!
I was running the recent Energy ROM on it and have been since it came out. Today it ran just fine as always and just a few minitus ago I went to check it and I could not get the screen to turn on. I pulled the batter out and then went to turn it back on, I would vibrate like it was going to start up and a few seconds it would go black and vibrate again. It did this over and over till I finaly tried a hard reset. I was able to get into the hard reset and it said that it compleated and I hit power up to boot. But then the screen got fuzzy and would not boot, so I pulled the battery again and now I can't get it to start at all! No power, nothing! Even with the power cord pluged in it doesn't do anything, not even light up showing that it's being charged!!
What should I do, or check?
Not knowing particulars I would double check the water intrusion labels and make sure they were both white still. Check your gold battery connectors and make sure those look good. Also check your charger and the USB plug to make sure that it is clean of debris and shiny.
Then I would charge the phone for 4 to 8 hours without attempting any boot ups just to make sure it was fully charged.
I have had 'wonky' issues with the phone being too low of a charge and not booting properly. Sorry I can't be of more help.
I will hook it up to a charge tonight and see if that does anything, but it was atleast at 60% eairlyer and as far as I know should be no reason that it should have discarged that quiclky. Also all the markers look just as they did out of the box. Thanks for the advice!
Your ROM might have gotten corrupted. Try a reflash by booting in bootloader mode.
How? It won't turn on?

Try pulling out the battery (and no USB plugged in) then hold the volume down or up button (I don't remeber which) and hit the power button just once while holding the volume button and if you get to boot loader mode you can go from there. Otherwise I'm afraid you are out of luck.
So with no battery I can get to boot loader mode?
Anyways, in or out, nothing. How does my phone just brick itself? I didn't do anything to it!?
If you could do a hard reset, then you can get into bootloader. Just press and hold volume down and then soft reset. If you have to do, a hard reset first, then go into bootloader when the screen says to press volume up to boot up. Once in bootloader, either flash a rom of your sd card if you know how to or off the usb connection.
What radio do you have, and did you change radios recently? I'd recommend using what nrg says (1.14.25.05) with his rom.
I was able to do a hard reset and now nothing is happening. I cant get it to power up, can't get into boot loader, nothing. It is acting like it is bricked... but I haven't added new software, no new ROM... I just don't understand.
Just pull the battery and let it sit overnight. I've read that that can help.
Oh, yeah, what radio are you using? I ask because there was another poster with a similar problem on that rom. He was using a 1.12.xx.xx radio (I think .25.19), and it appeared to have issues with the included rilphone (1.14.25.05). If you haven't flashed a radio and are using a stock fuze radio, this could well be your problem.
Humm the radio was the most recnet one by HTC. The on that the Energy ROM flashes with stock (not the one he suggests, I never got to flashing that one onto the phone) I'll let it sit tongith and report back in the morning/afternoon.

Same thing happened to me few minutes ago. Thats ****ing weird. Hope I still get this working or I have most expensive piece of junk in my hand.
I also have newest Energy ROM and stock Radio. I had just wrote sms few minutes before, heard that got new sms and tried to turn on screen, but it just stays black.
edit. By using Pocket Controller-PRO I can see that phone is working "normally". Even touch screen is working, but screen is just blank. Keyboard is also dead. Have to take this to repair

Well, flash it back to stock and then have it repaired or replaced. You don't need the screen working on the phone to flash it.
To post an update, I pulled the battery and left it all night like that with no resolve. Right now I have my buddy (the one I bought the phone from) on the phone with cingular to see if there is anyway we can get them to replace the phone since it is only 2 months old or so.
Ok! Get an iPhone now

HAHAHAHA Ya that is somthing that isn't going to happen.
so two people having this problem .. one of them didnt update (downgrade) their radio to the one recommended.
I have a new fuze, just installed Energy Rom.. and went to check my phone version. It was 1.14.25.35 ... NOT the one that was recommended. So I downgraded the phone to 1.14.25.05 immediately
I would be interested to know if the other person was also running 1.14.25.35 and didnt bother to downgrade as recommended.
Other than that ... tons of people are using this ROM and afaik you are the only two to get a black screen like that. Both of you were able to communicate iwth the phone through a remote program? Or only one?

I run any radio I like on my phone and I never got this issue. Sounds like a hardware issue and it just happened to match that the two persons flashed the same ROM without changing the radio to the recommended one because, frankly, I just flash any I want and I haven't gotten that problem yet (mind you I flash sometimes 5 times a day.)

You're probably fine with that radio; you can always install the rilphone.dll for it.
This is the thread I was thinking of. Now that I re-read it, the OP didn't specify the rom, but since everyone is on NRG rom, I guess I just assumed that was what it was. Either way, the 1.12 radio seemed to not get along with the cooked in 1.14 rilphone. Or, it could've just been bad luck on the radio flash.
Howdy,
I noticed on my phone that my screen locker looked wierd so i soft reset the phone then played a game of madden and looked down at my phone and it was at the orange windows boot screen hung up at it. I soft rest again then it would flake out at the verizon splash screen i soft reset a bunch of times and still the same results. I yanked the battery and let it sit for an hour and still nothing i replaced the battery and nothing.
So i proceeded to go into bootloader and hooked it to pc and reflashed with the stock MR2 verizon rom and now its hung up on the white htc screen with the red writing at the bottom.
Only thing done to the phone was HArd-SPL a week or 2 ago with no rom flashes after was on the stock rom.
Ive searched the topic also and am thinking i might have to do a task 29?
ATM im going to try and flash the first stock VZW rom and see where that goes but likely same outcome.
so do i have a brick or is there a fancy way to get it working?
got it working with the MR1 update so im good
Hello,
Runnin an unlocked bootloader, rooted, running Melvin's ADT rom so its just stock and rooted, nothing special on ATT. I installed the no CID flash last week and it worked fine. I have rebooted several times and there was no issue for the past week. Today i had my phone on my desk and i went to unlock it so that I could check the time and the screen wouldnt turn on. I waited about 5 mins and it still wouldnt turn on. I pulled the battery and put it back and tried to turn it on and it vibrated but the screen never turned on. I pulled the SIM, the SD card, and the battery and still no luck. I put the battery in and it wont light up at all. The buttons on the bottom, nor the screen will light up. Cannot get into the the boatloader either. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this?
i have not experienced this nor heard about it until today. i saw another thread with 2 other people with the same issue.. maybe some defective devices floating around out there? take it too at&t for an exchange.... here is the other thread

well it ended up being an easy fix. The phone just wasnt showing the currect battery percentage. It said the phone was at full charge but it was empty so the battery died. I went to plug the phone into the computer and see if can go into download mode to flash via odin but then it turned on. It recharged and it worked of course.
Hey guys...
Kinda ultimate noob here, so I'll start from the beginning because I don't know what information could be pertinent. I don't really know much lingo at all, but I have a completely stock, unrooted HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T that my cousin gave me a few months ago. On and off since then, I've had a few random restarts and crashes, no big deal, always came back up. The other day,about a week ago, the headphone icon started blinking and my sound stopped working, so I restarted the phone and it got stuck on the ATT boot screen, so I took out the battery, let it sit, and when I put it back together, everything was fine. Last night, I was in a meeting and my phone battery was at 2%, so I turned it off so avoid it dying. I got home and plugged it in, and when I went to turn it on, it would not load past the ATT boot screen. I let it sit overnight, and a couple hours ago I tried a factory reset, and tried to boot up again, and it got stuck in what I believe is called a boot cycle, where it would go from the HTC startup screen to the ATT screen, go black, then repeat over and over. I did some research, and tried to use an RUU to set everything back to complete stock, but both of the ones I tried gave me the "Please get the correct RUU and try again" error. I have the 1.03.2011 RUU up right now, and it says that my image version is 3.20.502.52, and gives me that same error. I don't know if I completely effed it up or what, so any possible help would be greatly appreciated. I've been looking through guides and trying things for over 12 hours, but I can't get anything to work, so it would be best to start from the beginning. I tried to get everything I know about the problem in there, but if more information is needed, just let me know and I'll do my best to get it for you. I've heard great things about XDA and did most of my research here, so I'm hoping you can work some of your magic on my phone
Hi all. The struggle is real with me and the nexus devices these last couple of weeks. I had a rooted nexus 6p which I had recently updated to 7.1.1 and everything was seemingly working fine. One day randomly I picked up the phone and hit the power button to see what time it was and it rebooted . . . . and never stopped rebooting. I was able to get it to hold still on the bootloader menu but I couldn't boot into recovery or anything else. I tried reflashing everything and it seemed to take that just fine but still would not boot properly. Just the endless google screen followed by a brief flash of the android colors starting and then rebooting back to google screen. After hours of research I caved and called customer support and they told me to ship them the phone and they would send me a refurb. I still haven't received that one back yet but while I'm waiting I have been using my old nexus 5. It is stock firmware, never been rooted or anything. I popped my sim card in there and have been using it for about a week with no problems at all. . . . until tonight. The phone was in my pocket and I felt it vibrate, pulled it out and it starts happily rebooting itself from google screen to brief flash of colored android circles and then back to google screen. I can't get the nexus 5 to sit still on the bootloader menu. The bootloader pops up and immediately goes away before I can do anything and goes back to google screen for another 47000 rounds of rebooting.
So I'm having a hard time believing its a coincidence but I have no idea what is going on? I'm concerned that if I do get a fresh 6p back that I will brick that one as well. Could there be something on the sim card that is carrying over? Or perhaps some of my google settings or apps I have that are causing the problem? I have put the sim back in an old iphone but I'd like to get rid of that crap as soon as possible. Not a fan.
Any ideas on whats going on here? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time
Chris
