Is my 4 days HTC Sensation bricked ? - HTC Sensation

Today i flashed my phone with the latest leaked rom from htc (insertcoin), battery was charged 100%, and when the battery died i took my battery out from it then back again and let it to charge.Now, after 6 hours i went to the phone to turn it on with no luck. I took the battery out and i tried again to power on, but the led is blinking. I tried to enter bootloader( vol down+ power button) but nothing happed. When i connect it to pc the computer recognize something. I don`t know linux, so i don`t know any commands. When i connect it to charge led stays on for a few seconds then stars blinking.
What can i do in this situation? Throw a brand new phone from the window?

did you drained your battery till its fully dead ?
now you need to charge it (boost) at a certain point for it to turn on
you need minimal of 3.6v on your battery to power on the phone.
you can see the voltage in your battery with a multimeter
i had this problem, I drained my battery completely, when I plug it in, the led flashing 11 times last 3 flashes are slow then goes dark.
(my battery had only 2,80v, and i had to boosted to 3.6v)
the original charger has an output 0f 3.6v, i was lucky to have a external batery charger, and it has 4,9v output, so was a little faster to boost my battery,
but this process can take hours.

1. Take a spare usb cable.
2. cut it from between.
3. Peel two wires black and red from tip.
4. connect black to (-) point and red to (+) point on batt and secure it via tape.
5. plug it in any power source usb or charger.
6. lve for 20 mins have coffee.
7. remove it and put in fone.
8. Last shot as its almost discharged keep charger plugged in till it rches 50 then flash new recovery.
9. Buy me coke.....coz i dt like beer

my sensation dont turn ON

hello
i have drain my battery.
now it dont charge and dont turn on
i think is the CWM.
i used a 9v battery to charge my battery, but the phone dont turn on
when i connect to be charged the orange led, blinks for 11 times...
what i can do to turn on my phone ?
I had this problem. its not CWM. If u drained your battery till its fully dead. It has to be charged at a certain point for it to turn on. the blinking orange light means its charging. I left mines for 5 mins on the charger then unplugged it. Then hit the power button, then it turns on.

what recovery you have ?
i have cwm 4.1.0.5
Question... When you plugged it in in it's "completely dead" state, was the led off, flashing, solid? I drained my battery completely, when I plug it in, the led flashing 11 times last 3 flashes are slow then goes dark.
I tried doing what the ABOVE post said with connecting a bare usb wire for 20 mins to + and - red and black ...
but did not work either, maybe just going to tmobile and getting a battery switched out since it is still a new phone... may work? Its not even recognizing the phone in the computer to do the adb reboot function either... someone who fixed this issue please help us! dire need to use the phone ahhhh
theres like 4-5 people with this problem on the forums right now that havent figured out how to solve it

Is it a possibility that the phone is on but the screen is not?
Check to see if the computer will recognize it.
Have you tried the 3 button combo to get to fastboot to see if it'll turn on?

any help here plz
plug it into a wall charger, the one that came with it, or better yet one that is more powerful and let it sit for a while then try to hold the volume buttons to get to fastboot or recovery where you can let it sit and charge fully before flashing anything. If it will not charge off the wall you will have to use the Macgyver method that involves splicing a cable to charge the battery directly. It is really quite easy to do, so don't worry. Essentially you just need to get power to the phone so you can flash then charge the battery. take a usb cable (make sure it is not your only micro usb for the phone, any old usb cable will work but you will need a normal one too) and cut the end off. strip the red and black wires a few millimeters and get those to contact between the battery + and - (red to + black to -)and the terminals on the phone with the battery in and plug that into your computer. MAKE SURE YOU ONLY TOUCH TO THE CORRECT TERMINALS OR YOU WILL LIKELY FRY YOUR PHONE AND/OR BATTERY. get into fastboot, plug in a normal usb cable leaving the direct to battery one, and flash as fast as possible, the 5 volts is a bit much to charge the battery with and could damage it if left for a long time. once you are up and running again remove the macgyver cable and charge it up normally. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF THIS HURTS YOUR PHONE.!!!!

You can try buying a charger for the battery on ebay that can charge it out of the phone. If you have a multimeter test the battery voltage and see if it is at or above the listed voltage (3.7 i think), that will tell you if it is charged or not.

You need to micguyver the battery to charge. I had the same problem.go down to AT&T and swap a battery out to see if it works?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Take the battery out and plug it into the charger, then insert the battery while still on the charger. You should see the battery icon come up on the screen, power up holding the volume up and down buttons and it should boot into the menu giving you the fastboot option, choose fastboot then flash using RSD
thank you all for your kind replays but nothing worked for me
i even borrowed a fully charged battery from my friend but nothing worked
i think my phone is dead .

The same happened to me and the white light in the upper right corner is lit when the phone is connected to my laptop via USB. No response or any light or anything while even connected to power source through charger. No one , two volume button combination working.

You may also have a bad USB cable. They do have a lifespan, as with anything else (I've gone through 2 or so in 10 months) especially if used/plugged in and out from your phone to USB to charger more than an average user may.
Also, if you're battery is very low and is on the verge of a shutoff, your laptop's USB might not be adequate to give enough voltage/mA to the battery to charge it -and more so if it actually does shut off. The charging time depends on the charging current. Wall charger is around 850-1000ma, USB is usually around 500ma (for some older PC laptops, it could be as low as 200ma) That said, charging from a wall outlet power source will be (or should be) faster than vis USB to PC charging. The MB865's battery capacity is generally around 1735mA, so 1735÷1000= 1.73 hours to full charge from full discharge.

dunno if this will help, there was this one time when I was playing scramble and suddenly the phone switched off and just wouldnt turn back on. Tried charging it and a white notification light was turned on continuosly without any of the general charging screen notificatn (battery indicator)
What helped me was tht I removed the batt, set it back, charged it for an hour or so, turned off the charger and tried to turn it back again, luckily it worked out for me. See it it helps.
Couple things: one as apex said, charge with the stock charger if possible. If you only have a PC, DO NOT use a front USB slot. As they are lower power slots than the rear ones.

I have the same problem as him, thus I guess it's hard brick not 100% sure as Jim helped me out with some things but still i'm out of luck..
Found the reason rsd showing me these 3 errors, somewhy the drivers installed by Motorola Manager done some troubles, so I installed the PDAnet drivers (shows as 'ADB interface' now) and all the proccess went fine, even though the previous failed.

Help...Dead One S will not charge

Help Please. I have been running this Trickdroid for quite some time. And thanks to such great battery life I have never seen my phone under 10%....until yesterday when it ran all the way down and powered it self off. ....now it will not take a charge tried all my different chargers even tried a rapid charger (Nex7 charger) and the charging LED never comes on. Will not even try to light up the screen when you hold the power button. I'm concerned about sending it in via TMO that they will fix it and find i unlocked and rooted it and charge me full price for my replacement. Any thoughts? Has this happened to anyone else on this ROM? Is there a way to revive it? Thanks.
Hold power button soft keys should light up then release after 3sec but it on charge and leave it there even if light doesn't come on and after awhile the light should come on
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Yes mate K1llacannon is right mate i can totally confirm that.
I read from one dude with a HOS he left it sit there a full night with the charger connected and after that he could use it again. Apparently, the light will come on eventually but it will take a while until the battery has enough juice to boot the phones charging electronics. Before that, it will take power but show no indicator.
Also, i suppose it is some sort of emergency circuit that charges in the beginning and it is only charging at some minimum rate or something like that so it takes a while...

Thanks guys for the reply....I have tried this and the keys never flash and I left it plugged in all night last night and then again all morning on a different charger and still nothing,....ugh.
It now does do this when plugged into the PC: The PC will do the "durp drup" like its connected then do the tone again as if its not connected again. This cycle just keeps going. I tried to do some adb but keeps saying no device.

Try fastboot devices, adb only works when phone on and USB debugging enabled and in recovery sometimes. If it shows your device then maybe try fastboot reboot recovery or something.
My first One S was completely dead on arrival, no sign of life after charging it for 24 hrs straight with original charger (tested charger OK) and holding PWR for 10, 30 seconds and longer. Got a new one no questions asked. Not that this is necessarily the same problem you're having since yours have been running but then again I'd guess they at least test all phones so they start at factory...

Please HELP ME :( "S3 will not power on due to no battery life"

Hello,
Two days ago, i was on a plane and my htc ons s S3 turn off due to battery go to less than 5% and loses all power, when i came to home i try to charge it but the LED still off and when i pressing the Power key does not turn on the device, i have left more than 5h and the issue still here.
if i remove the battery and than try to charge it with an externel adaptater sector, it will be charged or not ?
Please any idea ?
You might have to leave it alone on charge for at least 15-30 minutes until the LED shows up. Then you should be able to power it on.

When a put the sector to the phone, the LED flash about 10s with orange color, and than it's still off for some time and it's turn on (orange color) but no charge on the battery.
Have you tried to boot to hboot while charging(hold vol down and hold power same time).
If you plug into pc does it show up or do anything in pc.

Not working
Have you tried holding the power button down for 10+ seconds?
The only other thing I can think of is something has frozen, maybe you can leave it off charge for a day or two until the battery is really completely flat, then charge it for a few hours without turning it on, then see what happens?
Thanks for all,
It's work now
but believe me I heated my phone around 7min because I'm in a very cold city now and when i touch the phone i find it very cold so i decided to put it near from a fireplace and it's work juste after.
ooooofffffff

LED is blinkin red.. no charging, no hard reset..

Hey,
yesterday night i wanted to check some Whatsapp and grabed my Z3 from the desk.. it was off and didnt react to powerbutton and even not to vol up + power..
When i pluged usb on it, the led was just blinking red.
Now.. i know i have to give it to o2 but.. before.. is it possible somehow to save all data in any way?

Did you charge using pc or wall charger? That can make a huge difference. Try charging overnight with wall charger. Mine usually comes back to life after a few minutes at wall charger. Pc just doesn't charge quick enough

2 things you can try.
- the reset button at the SD and sim slot. Its a white square far at the left (display facing upwards).
Press and hold it for 10 seconds or so. (Don't press too strong)
But that didn't ever do anything to me, as I once tried to reboot at recovery mode with it.
- wait, wait and wait until the battery is empty (as it's not easily to be taken out). Then connect the stock standard wall charger. Wait for 15min. You can check what happens, but don't touch the phone.
If the led remains red, you can try to power it on, but chances is that it still doesn't work.
If everything else happens, you might be lucky (the led might not be red again).
Good lluck
I'm always curious if a thing worked, leave a message if success or not.
Hey,
after days on the charger i get following:
Phone charges for about 10 seconds.. screen goes on and so and then it stopps, fashes the red led and starts again. i believe the screen takes to much energy at this stage of charging.
i also know what happened.. at this night my phone showed me a looooong time 50% battery.. and it went off.. so the battery drained to much and i dunno how to get it back to work right without giving it back
i can enter fastboot but adb cant conect.. so i dont know how to make a backup other than this..
Sounds like your charger or your cable are faulty (at least, hopefully it's that)
With the wallcharger it should charge quick enough to not go off again.
Definitely try a different charger and cable, if that fails i recommend you claim warranty because then it's probably a hardware failure.
Chargers were all okay, tested them with my i9305, but with my Z3 they didnt work.. just a loop (Charging Loop i will call it yaaay)
I went to o2 today, they took it without charger or else and will repair it.. they gave me a S3 mini for this time (my s3 lte doesnt take any sim cards anymore x.x)
so, hardware failure i believe.. but it was the new 5.02 lollipop.. so be careful if the battery stucks at certain point!
