Help Locked (oow)

[KuruptOwnz]

So, I went to bed last night and forgot to plug my phone (first generation htc evo) in. I wake up this morning to my surprise phone is dead. I plug it in, turn it on, then I get the ***Locked (oow)*** thing and I don't know how.

It won't allow me to move to any options either.

I was looking online and wasn't trying to root it. I just went to be and woke up to this. I've had this phone for 2 years almost.

Thanks!

Greetings!! and welcome.
Well, I guess I would try to shut it down, either with the power button, or pull battery...leave it off and try to charge it for a while. See if the orange "charge" light comes on and try to turn it on after an hour or so.
How old is the battery?

Thanks for the Welcome!

I just tried that and now the orange light is on. It wasn't before...

The battery came with the phone two years ago.

Nice...just let it charge for a while then turn it on.
If you are going to keep phone, then maybe look into a new battery..

Edit: the screen that you first saw with the "locked oow" was your bootloader screen.
You make selections with the volume up/down buttons and press power to select but you said you couldn't do that. No need to worry about that screen for now anyways. Just fyi.

Okay, thanks so much.

Are you aware of this happening before with other people.
