Exclamation [Q] Bricked Amaze Won't turn on

Here's what happened

  • I rooted, unlocked, and installed Fourth Bar Sense and Faux's Kernel 0.0.8 about a less than a month ago.
  • Installation is a success, no bugs, glitches, and everything runs smooth.
  • 3 days ago I charged the phone to 100% and reset battery stats since I read a post claiming that it could boost my battery time.
  • Today the Amaze runs out completely out of battery.
  • Plug it up, LED turns orange and leave it to charge for 2 hours.
  • 2 hours pass when I notice that the LED isn't on.
  • Get suspicious. Try to turn it on. Wont. Try to go into recovery mode (It's volume down, and long hold power button down right?) Nothing.

Would be thankful if anyone could help out.

What recovery do u have installed? Its probably one of two things, either the recovery you have installed is the older one that does not support off charging, therefore since its dead you will have to find another phone to charge it with. Or 2, your battery is fried...

I have C.W.M 5.0.2.6.

I've had problems off charging it before.

That's going to be near impossible. No one I know has an amaze, evo, nor sensation.

Should I take it to Tmobile and see if they can do something? Perhaps exchange it for a new one? I have warranty.

Just try letting it charge longer. I had a similar problem and it took a few hours to charge enough to be able to turn on.

Well, it's been charging for about 8 hours now and still won't turn on.

Something similar happened to me, and after plugging it in, unplugging it, replugging it in, taking battery out, and doing that for a bit my phone eventually booted up. If no luck, go to a TMo store and tell them you need to borrow a battery or phone to charge your battery.
