[Q] Bricked Evo?

---

All,

I followed the steps to root my Evo by coming from 2.2 back to 2.1 in order to apply the unrEVOked method. Everything installed fine and I was able to boot into a custom ROM.

I then applied Manup's theme and my Evo continued booted to the splash screen and then stopped. Removed battery and inserted and now the phone won't even power on. Plug into wall and no charging indicator....does is sound like my Evo may be bricked? Also how could this be if the custom bootloader was available and allowed me to boot into recovery?

Does this sound like I'll need to have it replaced?

did you try and power up and hold down the down volume button to boot into recovery that way

Yes...that was the first thing I tried. Now the phone won't power on period whether I hold down the power by itself or with holding down the volume down button.

Even plugging it into the charger doesn't start the charging indicator

Had the same thing happen to me once. Plug into charger forvten minutes then try turning on. I can't explain whybthe chargevled didn't come on but mine came back on after it charged for awhile.

I'll let it charge for awhile and see if that fixes the problem

If the charging light does not come on when its plugged in. Attempt removing power, waiting a few seconds and plug it back in. You'll be wanting that light on.

In addition take out the battery for at least 30 seconds I did for a full minute, I had this exact thing happen removing all power sources seemed to help. Use the down arrow when powering on it should go into the bootloader. Also make sure you have a fully charged battery.

So I let it sit on the charger all night and still nothing.

I removed the power cable and plugged it back in with no results. I also removed the battery for 5 mins and put it back in....nothing.

I swapped batteries with a friennds evo that does have at least 50% charge....nothing.

I have the sam problem, what did you do to get it fixed

please respond
