Searched for last couple hours, no avail. htc one xl evita. recently flashed 4.2.2 ruu (5.18.502) downloaded from htc sight directly. flashed just fine. phone booted up fine. it is att branded, but I am using it on straight talk with the att version sim card. this has worked just fine for couple years on my old one x that died. and worked on this one xl for a week no problem. the phone did have issues with battery level not showing correct, as it showed 99% all the time. but everything else worked fine so left it alone. after about a week tho, the phone made a strange squeak sound and shut off. rebooted no prob, but got hot fast and as it connected to network, it died again, this time battery "dead". I have done factory reset, wiped the cache, triple checked apn settings, reflashed ruu, but no help. the sim works fine in an older, 3g phone. and my one xl operates perfect without the sim. wifi is great. no battery or charging issues at all. but as soon as I put the sim in, and it connects, phone dies, as well as battery, as i have to plug it in for a few minutes to get it to reboot. every time it reboots tho, the battery goes back to showing 99% charge no matter what.
the ruu stated it was for the one x evita, but my understanding is evita is the one xl, so im assuming htc site gave me the right one. everything worked great for aweek, and now its jacked.
any help, ideas, tricks...??

I have been having problems with my phone recently. I was previously running stock 2.1 rooted on Wind mobile. It had been working fine since I bought it in Dec 2010.
I seem to recall leaving my phone unplugged for a short amount of time (like a couple hours) and then when I picked it up the battery had been completely drained (while idle). I plugged it in and started it up after a bit and the battery was suddenly running super hot, and it would reboot quickly after starting. The only time it stayed on long enough to check the temperature I saw 57c. I left it to charge and came back and the battery temperature seemed to be normal again.
However now since then I have been having a lot of trouble registering to the Wind network. Half the time it is showing as roaming, or cannot connect at all. Sometimes, like as I am typing this, it will show that I am connected to the home zone. I can make calls now, but I cannot receive any. I have flashed the phone to CM7.2, and initially the phone worked but the next day it started having the registration problem again.
I tried the SIM card on another phone and it worked. Anyone have any suggestions?
Or you got fryed your phone module.. or fryed sim card.
First of all i'll recommend to replace or try another sim.
Just a little update...
It seems to have been working better in the past week, I could connect properly 90% of the time, but couldn't sent any text messages.
I went to replace my SIM card at the store, they gave me a new one and now it seems to be working 100% fine. So I guess the sim card was the problem.
Something to note is that the sim card was the original one I got when I signed up, and my permanent normal number wasn't on the card, only the temporary one assigned to me for the first day. So that may have been causing the problems I started having.
Or at least it won't show any signs of life. No response to the power button, no LEDs when plugged in. Left it plugged in for several hours to no avail. Tried my wife's battery, but that made no difference either. It started with a series of re-boots while using common apps (G+, Twitter). Once or twice it went to the boot loader screen, and now nothing. I've removed the sim and SD card, but still nothing. I had done a factory reset about 10 days ago for performance and battery issues, but that all seemed to be fine until this happened.
I did have an issue about 2 months ago where the phone would reboot to the boot loader screen (if that's what its called) constantly. I solved this issue by removing the Sim and SD cards. It then booted normally and I put the cards in one at a time. Not sure if that would have any connection.
I'm in Canada on the Bell network, and I'm outside my one year warranty.
I have seen things like the unbrick project, but I don't know if those steps apply to my situation. There's probably some obvious steps to start with, but I'm not sure what to try, since I didn't root the phone or do any customizations or anything. Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas.

I have an HTC ONE m7 that is about a year old and is rooted and running omni rom. It has been rooted for about 6 months and I had been running cyanogonmod and everything was running fine until last week when I got the dreaded sim card error. a restart of the phone did the trick. 2 days later it happened again and this time a restart did not work and my phone was out of commission for about 4 hours as I tried everything to fix it (including a full wipe of cyanogen and a fresh install with omni rom) with no success. Then one random time I restarted it popped back up and everything was fine. Now over the last few days it keeps giving me the sim error and only goes away after random amounts of time and restarts. If the error does go away and I have service. I get 4g LTE for about 10 minutes before I lose the ability to make any calls/texts or have any data connectivity. I have tried the scotch tape trick with no success as well as changing my APN. I'm sadly starting to think this may be a hardware issue.
As of yesterday I have found that my phone will now read the sim if it is cooled down. Meaning whenever it is even the slightest bit warm the phone will not read the sim at all but once I cool it down (laying it on top of an AC vent) the phone works as normal.
Any thoughts??
I have had nothing but problems with the two G3s I have had. One had a broken screen (not its fault) so was retired. One the screen started doing this weird backlight problem. So I swapped out the internals from one into the other. to make one good one. Both the same exact ATT LG G3 D850s.
Worked fine for a year. Then today the phone just turns itself off. So I tried to turn it back on, no response. Remove the battery, turn back on. Looks like it is going to boot, gets to the ATT screen, then loops back to boot again and again.
So I said screw it, everything on it gets backed up daily, so lets factory reset it. No go, it starts to do the factory reset then reboots over and over.
So I said fine, and started to follow this guide:
lgg3root com/lg-g3-root/how-to-unrootunbrick-lg-g3/
I downloaded the proper TOT and DLL files, but when it goes to do the update, it says Model Information CHECKFAIL
Any thoughts? I do not care if I have to put a custom ROM on or whatever, I just need it to work for a few more months.
Thanks!
Update today.
Not sure if this is a battery problem or hardware problem. I do not think it is a software issue. I suspected a battery issue, which is why I tried swapping them before. I have two genuine original LG G3 batteries. One used for a year and one for two years.
I decided to say screw it and see if maybe sitting overnight with the battery out did anything.
I have two batteries, both were at around 70% originally. I think through testing yesterday one had gotten up to 80%. I had tried swapping them at various times yesterday while troubleshooting. I put one in again. It came up and started optimizing apps like it was doing the reset. I said ok great! But then it crapped out after like 5 or 6 apps. So I put in the other battery, and it made it through the entire process and has been staying on without issue.
The thing is, it would stay on the DOWNLOAD MODE without issue before, so I am not sure it is a battery problem. But I am wondering if there is a problem now with both batteries where if it gets below say 70% it doesn't work.
My battery went out on my gflex 2 so I ordered a new one and switched back to my old phone while waiting for it to come. Some time while my phone was without a battery it started acting weird. I could hook it up to a rapid charger and use it while charging. So I would check my email etc that way then switch back to my old phone. When I got on it one day I realized half my apps were gone and I couldn't update or download anything on it. All my apps showed 0.00b in my settings as well. So, I tried a hard reset. I backed up everything went to my settings and clicked data recovery and when my phone tried to reboot it froze on the att login screen. I did the power button and volume down thing a few times hoping it would work but the same thing happens. I had the new battery in all day and the phone was working (still having it's download issues but functioning).
I have not attempted to root the phone. It has been unlocked by att for a year or more and has always worked fine until a few days ago. How can I fix this? Will my phone still be unlocked if I have to redownload the software?
