Try turning it on without the battery in, while it's plugged in to the charger (obviously), if it won't turn on at all, try to flash the stock 2.3.3 via nvflash using this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644&highlight=nvflash
If that doesn't work try flashing cwm recovery via nvflash using this thread

Good luck! Hope this helps

well first off shame on you for trying to flash a rom with a low battery that was prob not the smartest thing to do second if you have removed your battery and charged your phone and it still wont boot or anything well then you have a bricked phone sorry

Thanks a lot man, it doesn't turn on at all without the battery in. I was using clockwork recovery to flash the ROM. What do you suggest I do from here?

If you can't get into recovery, then you did probably brick your phone, so you'll need to follow the instructions from the first link i posted earlier to flash the stock GB. Then follow the second to flash cwm using the second link, then flash your rom again

If your battery got TOO low, since there's no auto-shutoff while in recovery, it could be too low to take a charge or even allow the device to turn on.
Try turning on the device with a different, fully charged battery. If that works then your battery fried.... at which point it may still be salvagable.. you'd need to hot-swap the battery. that is, turn the device on plugged in and with a GOOD battery... once it's on, then without unplugging, pull out the good battery and QUICKLY insert the bad battery, which will allow it to start charging...
Now, this of course would involve you booting into RECOVERY since you don't have a working ROM, but that would still apply.

any luck on this??? i jacked mine up trying to flash a new firmware and am stuck in the same boat with my sensation being completely unresponsive.

You could factory reset it:
From the manual:
If you can’t turn HTC Sensation 4G on or access settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on HTC Sensation 4G.
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button."

It was stated that he can't access the bootloader, which is what is required for the "FACTORY RESET"...
There are a number of people reporting this issue. I've even experienced the issue after the device powered down due to a drained battery. Luckily I have a stand alone charger. I put the battery on the charger for about 15 minutes, put it back in the device and it was able to boot, charge, connect usb etc...
I tried for 20 minutes to get any response from the device before trying the charger.

No charging LED isn't a good sign.

There seem to be more and more people reporting with this problem these last few weeks. IT happened with mine....it was not battery drained cuz it went dead when battery was 100% charged. I've been trying to get input as to whether this is related to ROM or firmware we're flashing....but no one seem to know.
Nothing will work...ADB...battery out...etc...I've sent my phone back to HTC...waiting to see what happens.
There are at least 3-4 different post with the same problem the past few weeks.

Well what i did was that i had a brand new sensation, i got it s-offed, rooted, cwm, superCID. all that done following the guide here on XDA. i wanted to have the new elegancia ICS rom which required the 3.32 firmware with the 4ext recovery. I got the 4ext flashed and then flashed the 3.32 firmware which caused a bootloop. then i panicked and tried to put it back to stock. not realizing that it was prolly bootlooping due the stock rom not being compatible with that firmware (not positive if that caused the bootloop. just a guess) it bricked after trying to put it back to stock. nothing responds. computer doesnt recognize it. new battery doesnt to anything. no charging led. looking back on what i did. I was still able to get into the 4ext recovery when it was bootlooping. If i flashed a compatible rom while it was doing that would it have fixed the issue. can anyone confirm if the bootloop was caused due the the stock TMOUSA rom not being compatible with 3.32? Tmobile is going to send me a brand new one. I'd like that rom but dont wanna repeat the same mistake lol
Thanks

Yep, it was because stock was incompatible with that fw, happened to me two weeks ago when I got my sensation and I started tinkering, I flashed opensensation and I was good to go

I installed 6.6.2 Revolution. It booted fine after I installed the ROM...so unlike some others, the installation seems to worked fine. I was able to run Titanium and restalled all the programs....but then when I talked on the phone....it became unresponsive and shutdown and never turned on again

Having similar problem.........only thing my phone just vibrates......the led is red for couple seconds when charger is connected

WEll..if your phone lights up or have some response.maybe you can still do something by connecting to computer. Mine was completely unresponsive...and can't be detected on computer!

Maybe it's an overclock issue? I've read on different threads that there may be a motherboard issue. The sensation is known for overheating. Maybe it's frying the motherboard.
What frequency were you guys running and was your phones randomly shutting down before it became unresponsive?

i think we guyz got the same problem :S its just turned off with a constant beep

Yes you should be fine, just make a backup of stock in case something goes wrong when you flash your first rom

[Q] Fallout 2.0 - Can't turn phone off when charging

Hi, I have a bit of an odd problem, I have recently installed the Fallout Rom on my Desire S, but my phone cant fully power off while its on charge (either by USB or Power Cable).
Every time I try my phone powers down, but then turns back on an goes into recovery mode??
I have checked all the settings I can think of (Fastboot etc) but I still can't get it to power off fully?
If any one has any idea I'd be grateful for a solution.
PS. I realize that I should normally post this in the Rom development section, but unfortunately I haven't got enough post to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, strange indeed.
Will your phone power off when it's not on charge?
What version of recovery do you have?
Swyped from my DesireS

Thanks for the response,
My phone will power off when not on charge, but the second I put a USB or Power cable in it it then boots to Recovery.
I'm using ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v5.8.1.5.
Thanks

i had this problem on a few other roms and made a thread about it. it isnt fallout related.. try upgrading to the latest cwm if you haven't. i fixed it simply by switching to using 4ext instead of cwm, do that and you're sorted

It's to do with cwm , so simply install 4ext and all should be sorted
Swyped from my DesireS

There we go, just swapped to 4ext and it works a charm.
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated

[Q] HTC Explorer not charging

Hey guys,
I am new to this and ran into a problem and would appreciate it if i could get some help.
So i recently rooted my phone and flashed CM 9,1 Build 9 and drained my batter to try to recalibrate it as suggested at quite a few locations here. Well, the phone died and when I plugged it in for charging, it sort of woke up (slight white screen ) and then nothing. now it refuses to charge or turn on. I am going to try a new battery tomorrow but for the time being, any suggestions please?
thanks
Edit : I was reading the help section on HTC rezound and apparently it has something to do with CWM not allowing offline charging once the battery is fully dead. I'll try charging the battery through some other means and update you guys if it works. Also there is a way to get it to boot into recovery using adb with some trickle charge but that hasnt worked for me.
Thanks again !

That's from the official cwm recovery, next time use twrp or yannou's, only thing as far as I know is, take from somwhere another battery with some charge and change recovery.

Thanks for your help. I am using yannous recovery and yet ran into this issue. Resolved by charging the battery elsewhere. Worked fine after that. Mods can kindly close the thread.

[Q] Sensation wont boot or charge

Hello
I have an s-off htc sensation with cm10 and recovery etc its been running great for ages with this setup.
The phone completely ran out of battery and shut down. I left it on charge overnight and in the morning it would not switch on.
I have read a LOT of threads on here and elsewhere about this issue and have tried the fixes you guys have suggested for similer issues (usb charging, new battery, battery pulls)
I dont think that the usb debugging mode was enabled on my phone so i cant use the commands to restart it etc
When charging, the orange light blinks for about 5 seconds, then is on constantly until the phone boots all on its own to the htc logo screen, then goes black with no orange light. (it did this with the old dead battery and the new one)
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Such a great problem you have :crying: well, you can try re-flashing the ROM again. If it is not working maybe it is the ROM weakness. AOKP (your ROM series) is more unstable than AOSP ROM (like Android Revolution HD, ViperS, JB MIUI, and other).
The most possible reason for your problem is your ROM, so if re-flashing the rom does not help you, you can try flash a AOSP ROM. May the force be with you

Very strange that a new battery didn't fix this... same thing happened to me but mine died while charging some how and I didn't even have a charging light! However, in my case a brand new battery fixed my issue instantly. You can try a new rom if you can somehow flash it and see if it helps.. one question, was the other battery you tired new? Just curious? Hope you can get this issue resolved. If the battery you tired wasn't new in last effort if nothing else works, try a new battery. Like I said, it worked for me.. I wish I could be of more help. Best of luck and keep us informed. I've read of this happening when battery is ran out before and I wish I knew what causes this.. very strange. Good luck

Yup the battery was brand new off amazon....
Any ideas of how I can flash a rom without being able to boot into recovery?

Some one else might know this answer but have you tried, pulling battery, putting battery back in, immediately press power and volume down and hold it... recovery should pop up after that. Then go to wipe and wipe data factory reset, then install rom, or you can go to backup restore and restore your nandroid back up. Try to get into recovery this way. Hope it helps let me know. Best wishes. If you did try, couldn't hurt to try again keep hold of volume down and power and see if recovery will boot. If not you might be able to do it though computer but I can't help with that. Maybe someone else can help with fast boot commands on the computer. But it would hurt to try to pull battery again. And give it a go. Good luck

i assume it stays on at least after booting
if yes then connect it to pc
go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files and open a command window there
then do
adb
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
see if it works

No the phone screen just goes black after the HTC screen and sometimes randomly flashes grey!? So the computer cannot detect it when connected by usb .
Really need to get to recovery it seems

This happened to me the other day, I have a charger that came with the battery off amazon and I gave it a full charge on that. After I put it in fully charged my phone was fine. I was nearly fully through flashing when this happened. I got back to bootloader and flashed 4ext recover and flashed my rom.
