Root [CDMA] Rooted Evo 3D/stock ROM: Randomly Doesn't Power Up Now?

Hey guys, I had rooted my Evo3d a while ago using the revolutionary tool. Hboot 1.4, S-OFF and all was well. I have the stock ROM and nothing done other than rooting it. Everything was fine for approximately a month...yesterday a member showed me how to remove the software update icon by un-checking the box in menu>settings>updates>...etc. I did NOT update anything though.

Now, this morning I wake up after the phone being on the charger and the capacitive buttons are lit, but the phone screen is blank. I try powering/waking it up and NOTHING. I pull the battery a few times and restarted it a few times and again, NOTHING. I tried doing the power+lower volume key and I get into the root revolutionary menu, but from there I am lost. Can anybody help? I'd like to recover my system settings and my information/files on the phone.

It's killing me now as I cannot access my phone/files, esp mid-week

Thanks all!
 
I would say it was a battery problem but capacitive buttons are lit, so that is weird.

Was the charge light green after the overnight charge?

Pull the battery, connect the charger, the put the battery back in and try to power it on.

I have it on the charger as we speak, red light is on. Technically speaking though, couldn't I leave the charger plugged in, remove the battery and still be able to turn the phone on?


Revolutionary
S-OFF
HBoot 1.4
Radio 0.97
eMMC-boot


When clicking recover:

Revolutionary CWM v.4.0.1.4 (ClockWorkMod?) and its list of options
 
If the phone won't boot you probably lost your files. I've had that problem in th epast and I just wipe everything and install a new rom. Problem solved.

Strange that it happened to both of you at the same time though...
