Hi, go here and have a read, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137323,
It sounds like a cwm issue you have.
To fix your current issue though you need a battery with some charge in it. There are some ideas out there on how to "jump start" your battery, but i would advise caution using any of the stripped usb cable methods.
Best bet is to get a battery from a friend with a decent charge in it, or put your battery in a friends phone and charge it. Then do the cwm update.
I had the problem, so I updated my CWM and a few days later (now) its dead. LED blinks a few times but thats it.
Any other options ?
Here we go I have the same issue ...
So if all else is working, no error with CWM, what else could be causing the batteries not being charged or takes a veeeeery long time, and still they are not fully charged ?
Battery is not hot, I have rebooted several times, I have tested all kinds of resets, but that does not change anything, still lousy charging.
I have reflashed CoreDroid ROM v2.5 several times, using stock kernel, still no go.
Is the main board malfunctioning, could it be a bad battery, bad cables, what ?

Hi. I have a S-OFF'd, T-Mobile USA Sensation, Im using Leedroid Sensational 1.0 (cwm 4.0.1.5). My phone died, I tried to reboot it, it did turn on for a few seconds. When trying to charge it, it flashes the led light quickly, progressively becoming slower, then the screen flashes white then sits at a blank, black screen for a few seconds, then seems to turn off (screen turns off and led light stops showing up). The device doesnt get hot, so it cant be the charger overheating. I also cant boot into HBOOT. Any ideas?
EDIT: Left it on the charge all night, still does not turn on, it's got to be that the charging issue is still present (or actually, worse) in CWM 4.0.1.5.
EDIT2: I have tried rebooting it via adb, but the computer doesn't detect it.
Do u have cwm 4.0.1.5

Yes CWM 4.0.1.5
Mine did this out of the box, I'm just now trying to get something out of it. Otherwise this pos is going back to htc...
Its worth mentioning that there is a red infared type light above "htc" that fades with the red l.e.d.

Yes, I have the same issue as of this morning. After installing new CWM. It was charging fine before. Last night I let the battery discharge completely and had it on the charger all night.
When I woke up the LED light was off. Upon unplugging the charger and plugging it back in the LED light blinks (orange) a few times and then it goes off.
I can't turn the phone on at all.
EDIT: Looks like it's the issue with the latest CWM. Here is another thread with the same problem.

Think this would work? It charges the battery externally.
Yea it would work externally, provided your battery is ok... Buy a battery just to be sure. They have always come with atleast a trickle of charge in my past experiences. If it boots, flash the stock pyramid ruu. If not, id say either the new battery is dead (rarely) or your sensation is dead. Or buy an external charger, then send it for repair.

Reading other users posts, I think this is an issue from CWM 4.0.1.5, not a hardware issue, but thanks for letting me know.
Im currently rocking the same setup thanks for letting me know about this ill keep an eye on my battery life. Until ClockWorkMod fixes itt
Yup same issue here. Will be buying new battery and/or battery charger to resolve.

I bought a few batteries and an external charger just in case my battery is also fried, although be aware that most of them on the net look like cheap china batteries, so they probably aren't actually 1600MAh.
I honestly think this is BS. It's costing me $16 just to get my phone to boot, I hope Koush or someone else can actually fix the charging issue by CWM 4.0.1.6.
Definitely CWM issue. If your battery is completely discharged, as mine was this morning, here is how to charge your battery without the phone.
It does work. I just charged mine enough to boot up.

Well it looks like my sensation just killed itself and has gone to the mobile phone graveyard in the sky.
It was on about 85% battery just lying on the side, not charging, then suddenly the screen flashes, it turns itself off and then nothing.
I take the battery out for a while, put it back in , nothing. I connect the charger, it doesn't even light up to suggest it's charging.
Absolutely dead and it's 100% stock with no mods.. Oh well. Off to the HTC shop tomorrow..
Maybe the battery is completely dead. Try charging it for an hour, unplug the charger, and see if you could turn it on.
Can you get to the bootloader?
Try holding down the power button longer. Mine used to require a very long press to turn on.
Matt
held power button for 5 minutes and nothing lol
It had 85% battery then woosh.. a flicker.. and nothing
Sorry to hear that.. keep us updated.
Sorry to hear.. that suxx.. R.I.P poor Sensation
that's a sensational headline
Maybe it overheated. A friend's thunderbolt overheated and wouldn't turn on for almost 3 hours.

Well done HTC you done it again.
I think mine just did the same thing. WTF? I am rooted, flashed Android Revolution HD 1.1.7. Everything seemed fine. It reloaded all of my apps automatically and everything was fine. Was messing around in my office and went to check it and I was getting the "black screen" when I tried to wake it. Pulled the battery and it won't come on at all. Can't get into the bootloader or anything. Have it plugged into my computer with the USB and the LED indicator was flashing a few times, my computer recognizes it off and on but it has alerted me a couple of times now. Weird. I will leave it off for a little while and see if I can boot it back up.

I have the same situation with my phone. I also added the black and white circle batterymod from themes and apps section. I got it to boot when its on wall charger. Seems that itdrained the battery from about 75% to 0% in about 7 hours of idling when I was sleeping, luckily the alarm still worked, but the screen didn't go on before wall charging.
Hope this helps. Going to flash some other ROM, god I miss CM7.

That sounds like mine, apart from the charging bit
Took it to the HTC shop and they have to send it away to their "techie" people to confirm it's "dead dead" before they will replace.
Should be 10 days, could be 30.
If i'd bought it online from them apparently i'd have more rights and they'd replace on the spot.... nice......
Didn't even get a loan phone and this is one of HTC's "brand" shops, even detailed on their site. (
So not only you can have death grip and unresponsive screen...but now it's the whole phone that die??
How the hell I am supposed to switch from sgs2, I am too scared now

Why do you bother, just stick with your Samsung, I bet you are really happy with that one.
99% of the people here have no problems, so I wouldn't base your choice on this situation

Welp, after years of never having an official brick, my time has come. I had the phone unplugged (fully charged) for about 45 minutes. In the middle of playing Cut the Rope, phone shut off without warning.
Subsequent attempts to power up yielded a faint blink of the LED. Plugging it into a charger gave me a strange series of blinks. 5 slow...3 fast, and then it was off again.
Anyone else had this happen?
Running Android Revolution HD
Hmm... doubt this is my problem as the phone had only been off the charger for 45 minutes, but going to try anyway....

I put my battery in my friends Sensation and charged it for about 5 minutes, giving it enough juice to power on my phone, then charged it fully.
If you know anyone with a Sensation, I would recommend giving that a go.
I agree with what's been said. Also it doesn't sound like it's bricked, it seems. Something hardware maybe?

No you have an old version of alpharev clockwork recovery image. That doesnt let your battery charge when phone is off. Go to this post and read step2 and flash the updated recovery image. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16125079

That would have been fine and dandy, if I were able to boot into recovery. I had no power whatsoever. I did get it to finally power up using the method above, although something is wrong. The LED is blinking orange at a rate of 1 p/s.
I am also curious as to how my battery went from 100% to dead in 45 minutes. I had less than 3 volts coming from it.
Return it. Sounds like some hardware is failing and you should be able to get it replaced.
The orange blink every second is what mine does when the battery is low.

Did you have clockwork recovery version 1.1.5 from ROM manager? Well that recovery version won't let you charge you phone when its off. And if Ye battery went dead you won't be able to start it. Find a battery that's charged and revert back to cwm 1.1.4.

--I got it to power up by hacking a USB cable up and connecting directly to the battery
--Updated CWR
--Even after a full charge, LED is blinking, although now it is blinking green
--Called it in and getting a new phone later today (Friday)
Hello.
I installed the PYRO ICS. it works great. thanks for all the effort. I have one issue, If my phone shuts down due to law battery, it does not turn back on by pressing power button. i have to remove battery and sim card and only then it powers on.
This is reproducible every time. i have wiped the cache once and also have 5.0.2.7 cowomod.
Please advise.
Thanks.
you mean after you recharge it?
or just after it shuts down? because that would be intentional behaviour then
off course after charging it
Are you running a stock battery or an Anker? If I run my Anker down to nothing and it shuts down it won't
charge on USB. I have to pull it and put it on the external charger that came with my two batteries. I don't have this problem with the stock battery.

I am not sure of the different types of battery. I think my issue is that the phone does not turn on. it charges fine.
Thanks.
Stock battery is black and has HTC printed on it. The Anker is White and has, well, "Anker" printed on it. If you have a bad battery it could cause any number of issues. You might try flashing back to your stock nandroid and see if that helps (Isolating software issues from hardware symptoms).

Are you using the old madaco recovery? If so update your recovery in rom manager, that should fix it.

If your phone shuts down due to low battery, instead of taking the battery out to try to get it to go on, try this while having your phone plugged in:

I'm in pyro-ice too, and it works for me !
It also helps a lot when it freezes. I hope this helps.
i think your problem is different. Isnt the lights of your phone on the buttons still on when this happen? Are you sure the battery is off?
It might be "just" the blackouts of screen that some users have. I had some too, but changing to Trebuchet launcher seems to help with that. In the upcoming 1.0.2 release ROM will run Trebuchet, hopefully it will help with your problem.
I read your 1.1.0 thread where you mentioned that the phone cannot be turned on when plugged in. thats what i was doing. I didn't try removing the charger and then turn on. thanks for the help.
have an issue about powerin phone on when i completly drained my battery. after i put it for chargin, notification led was blinking for a long time not like usually (u cant power phone on before orange light is solid).reloaded battery and was waiting like for 10-15 min for led stay solid. gud thing its finally happen.
was on pyr`o`ice 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 dont remember exactly
Which battery are you using?

I havnt tried it yet I only know one person with the same phone so waiting on him.
i had the same prob in a way while back. what it turned out to be was my htc cable that came with phone had went bad. If you have another phone charger that will plug into phone try that. batter may just be totally dead. when i got up the next morning phone was about to die, and the cable was the problem. something easy to check
I've tried everything new cables new battery.... Even changed the sim cover and battery cover door.... I was able to get another inspire bu is like to get that back up and running if possible
