My phone is hosed again.

---

Okay This is the 2nd phone of mine this has happened to. It was working fine, then I plugged it in to recharge and now it won't boot again.

I'm rooted, ROMed and have CWR loaded.

I've tried getting it into CWR by pressing and holding the Vol DOWN and Power button, but it keeps starting the normal boot process.

How can I get my phone back. I'm starting to lose faith in the Revo and am about to press VZW for a replacement to the Charge.

Have you tried the QuickBoot app? That ortta help.

I can't figure this out - so you are bricked, or you are just trying to access recovery?

It seems bricked. It has been running fine since I received it and rooted and loaded the Cubed ROM. I plug it in to recharge over night and in the morning it was dead. Would not boot to CWR.

I took it into VZW and they put me on with tech support. Bottom line I'm giving up on the Revo even though I prefer it to the Charge or TB. VZW is upgrading me to a Charge. I had the option of any of the three existing 4g handsets. As There are too many issues with the TB and I don't want to go through this again with another Revo (2x of this in less than 2 months of the phone being out is too much for me.)

Hopefully the Charge is more reliable. I guess I'll find out.

This is a great group who has done amazing things with this phone. Just wish I could rely on it.

take care.

No offense but the only common denominator between your first and second phone is you.

Odds are you are doing something, or there is something environmental where you are that is causing this to happen.

Are you using the same charger that came with the first phone?
Are you plugged in a power strip?

No offense taken. I did think of that. But if it was something I've done, I think it would happen immediately and not run great for over two weeks then just die.

I did not install any new SW, I'm using the same charger that came with the phone. it is not plugged into a powerstrip.

I could understand if I had been adding new programs etc... But none of that was going on. It was running great on the de-crapified ROM I was able to get 6+ hours on the battery most of the time.

Then I plugged in the phone to recharge after using it all day (had about 20% left) Went to be and woke up and dead.

Same exact thing that happened the 1st time.

Weird... I hope it gets better for you with the new phone. I just wish everyone could be as happy as I with their revo...

You wouldn't happen to be plugging it into an outlet that requires a light switch to be turned on by any chance?

Nope. Outlet is not connected to any switch. I've used this out let for the past 18 months with no problems with other phones.

by "dead" what do you mean? any explanation?
Trust me, there's almost NO way to kill this phone by normal means.
If there was, I'd have found it by now.

Things to try:
remove battery, plug in USB to PC, hold volume UP, put in battery, hold power (while holding volume up).

That'll put you in firmware download mode.
Unplug it from usb in PC, and plug back in wall charger. Let device sit for an hour or so to charge the battery.

Once that's done, unplug battery+usb. Hold volume DOWN and power until device vibrates once.

Tada! You're in clockwork.

Hope that helps!
