[Q] HTC Sensation not turning on

Hi guys,
Need some help here
I have a HTC Sensation, I'm using Android Revolution HD 6.6.2, everything was working fine until this morning. My phone made a strange beeeeeeeeep, I couldn't do anything, so I turned it off, and since, no way to turn it on again. I last charged the phone last night, so the battery shouldn't be a problem.
I tried to boot with vol. down and power, not working.
When I plug the charger, the light doesn't turn on.
I really have no idea what to do next. Any tips ?
My main problem is that I bought the phone in Ireland, and I since moved in France, so I can't go back to the place where I bought it to replace it..

Can you see the phone when you plug it to your computer?
Or you could try a new battery

Nop, nothing on the comp when I plug it.
I have a spare battery, same issue.
I just tried to boot without the sim and the sd card, it worked (wtf ?).
Shutted it down, and no power once again.
I'm gonna try with another sim card when my wife will get back home, will keep you informed, thanks for the answer.

You could backup your sdcard and then format it on your computer.

I had this problem and what I did in the end was use the Android Debug Bridge. Here are instructions on how to install it:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Then once you've installed it run command prompt (Start>Run>cmd) and type cd/androidsdk/tools (or whatever location you've installed the adb to)
Plug your sensation into your pc with USB and then type adb devices into command prompt. Hopefully it will come up with a code below devices attached.
Then...type adb reboot recovery and hopefully your device will boot into recovery, from which you can relfash a rom or whatever
Hope that helps!

panic! lol I'm not sure - my first guess would be that the battery has somehow died - that would explain why there is no light when you charge it, just the same as if you were to try and charge it without any battery plugged in! If you have a multimeter, try measuring the voltage output from your battery and ensure that the battery is making proper contact with the terminals in the battery compartment

I tried it with another battery, still nothing. I phone has just like completely shut down. I was in the middle of flashing a ROM when it froze up on me and I turned it off. Turned it back on... well I tried to.. and it never woke up. Is it permanently bricked or what?

Ohh it froze while flashing a Rom ???
That's bad man it might have corrupted all the partitions especially if bootloader partition got corrupted then your phone is bricked which seems to happen in your case . you got no luck with adb/fastboot?
Edit:
You were able to bootup without sim and sdcard? Then have you tried another sdcard

Hi, I actually just experienced the exact same problem. I actually finished flashing the ROM and everything rebooted..and reinstalled the apps too. While calling on the phone...all of a sudden it made the beep sound. IT rebooted the first time..and I Thought everything was ok. Then I made a call again...and after a minute or so...the long beep came on...and then now it's completely unresponsive...no light when plugged...can't turn on.
Any update or ideas?

Hi everybody, I followed every single steps of the guide to install ICS and ARHD 6.6.3 on my phone, but something went wrong... It hasn't yet booted to the home screen after 1.5 hours it finished to flash the ROM. It's stuck on the white screen with the "htc - quietly brilliant" logo. What can I do? I tried to turn it on by pulling out the SIM and SD cards, but it doesn't solve the problem.

So what happened with this? Mine did exactly the same thing and I had just installed 6.6.2 with the strange beep and won't turn on after it's turned off.

Can you do a restore?
Or go into recovery?
ICSensation 4G

No...it won't turn on...won't do anything with volume down + power...or when plugged in to PC and ran as ADB

A follow-up of my situation..
The day I started the thread, I was finally able to start again my phone, don't ask me how, I have absolutely no clue ! I removed the battery, sd card, sim card, put them back, and so on, for hours, and finally it worked..
BUT.
This morning, same situation. And I can't get it back to power up, once again.
I can't access it through adb, as the phone is totally powered off.
Wondering if it's a bug from Android HD 6.6.2 as newr got the same version and the same problem..

Hmm...so you got it booted up again? So it's not a hardware problem? I don't know if it's the ROM problem..it happened afetr I installed 6.6.2...but mine never did turn back on...no matter what I did....can't connect to ADB...can't turn on...can't charge.
I just sent it back to HTC...hopefully it won't turn on...as if they do..they'll say it's not under warranty cuz it's rooted.
Anyone have problems with 6.6.2? If it's causing it...it should be told as otherwise, others may have problems turning on their phones.
How can we tell if it's hardware vs. software?

I tried a lot of things since yesterday, but this time it's not booting again.. *sigh*
And in France, apparently you can't send it to HTC directly, you have to send it to one company working with them, where you have to pay 20 euros just for the diagnostic, I'm so f*cking happy right now.

Same problem here. Weird noise, line across the screen and dead. Plugging USB into PC comes up with a detection noise but immediately fails to find drivers. Any one had any more luck?

Are you all using the same rom? Maybe the developer of the Rom knows something about it, I would ask. Seems strange that your all using same Rom and same thing is happening to you all. Hopefully it can be fixed! I wish you all the best! Wish I knew of a solution but sadly I do not . Best wishes .

HTC One S shuts down and won't turn on, no charging led.

Hi,
yesterday I pulled my One S out of my pocket, opened up the browser, made a search on google and all of a sudden, while the page was loading the screen turned off, completely black. The capacitive buttons stayed awake for 4-5 seconds, then they turned off too.
Completely dead, the phone won't turn on anymore, not even in recovery mode. If I connect the wall charger the charging led doesn't light up, although I can feel the phone is heating (as usually happens when charging).
I've tried connecting it to the pc via usb and windows after a while, detects a peripheral named "qhsusb_dload". I've read on google that this isn't any good... Anyway, even connected to the pc (for hours) the charging led doesn't light up.
No signs of life from my One S... :crying:
The phone is completely stock, unrooted.
Do someone have any hints?
Thanks.

I believe you're in download mode.
Hold the power button until your button leds start flashing and then keep holding it until they stop again. Now let go. If they don't start flashing within (say) 20 seconds, you can also let go. Hold the vol-down button and press&release the power button. Hopefully this boots you into bootloader mode. If not I don't nkow what else to suggest other than look at the unbricking thread in the development forum.

There's no way I can enter bootloader. The phone shows no signs of life (no capacitive buttons, no charging led, nothing at all)...
One thing that maybe is important: for about a month, I've been experiencing a strange battery drain. The drain used to occur even if the phone was in deep sleep (I'm sure about this because I've checked with cpuspy and anyway I hadn't installed any new apps for quite a while), at a rate of 7-8% each hour. I could leave the phone on the desk with screen off and in standby (no 3g data, no wifi, not even cellular network) and the drain was still there.
By the way, when my phone died I had plenty of battery left, about 70%.

If it's unrooted then your warranty is still 100% intact and HTC will replace your phone no problem. What you describe just happens sometimes, more so with this phone then others I've seen.
The qhsusb_dload means it's not worth tinkering with yourself if you can just submit it for warranty.

I see, thanks. Is this qhsusb-dload issue hardware-related? If so, is it possible that they swap my S4 chip with an S3?

Think of qhsusb-dload kinda like your normal PC without windows. Your phone could not find an operating system to boot into and defaulted to qhsusb-dload mode waiting for a command. Our problem is that we don't really know the commands for qhsusb-dload nor do we have the files needed to use it only the manufactures do.
They can't swap a s4 chip for a S3 version that isn't the same product.

Most likely it the micro USB charging port that's gone toast.. happened to mine exact same symptoms. I was actually unlocked, HTC dev unlocked too, running a custom ROM as well as custom recovery and splash screen. I still sent it in repair with hope of they will never be able to turn the damn thing on to discover my deeds and will replace my phone but they didn't mind, they reflashed stock rom after repair and sent it back but I was still s-off
Send it into repair mate. Best option instead of tinkering with it lol

Ok, thanks everybody.
I'm going to try usaff22's method and if that doesn't work I'll send the phone in.
I'll let you know! :fingers-crossed:

It didn't work. The terminal waits for the device, however it doesn't respond...
I'll have to send the phone in.

Crazy idea but that sounds like the mode you go into for the downgrade so maybe the last part of it might help to get you up and running again.

I've read that thread: do you mean I should try the 9th point?
you can open a new terminal window and run the following command IF AND ONLY IF the phone doesn't reset out of QDL mode
Code:
$ sudo ./emmc_recover -r

No that for flashing Hboot think you want step 12 but will need to edit the file the download has but you will need to do step 3 so you can do step 12. I have no idea if it will work but its an idea and also might be best to ask about it there too before doing anything.

thanks a lot touch of jobo i was going to get crazy :laugh:

[Q] Help? Bricked One X?

I think I bricked my one X im not sure how or why but out of the blue it just said the 10 second power off message and no longer turns on at first i was able to turn it on a few more times but now i cant.
It is not taking charge both from my computer or ac :/
when i plug it into my computer it says HID compliant device found. and the three led buttons light up every about 5-10 seconds but the top led notification doesnt turn on
If it matters
Hboot 1.14
on jokerfg jb rom

Uff. I have not encountered this issue. Sorry brother. Update if you find a fix.

How did it get to that state?
What are the 5 contact looking things at the back of the phone for?
Sounds like you need to give the thing some charge, i'm sure one of those street corner shops can pop it open, macgyver some volts in, and reflash something that will boot for $30ish?

I'm not really sure, my power buttton is stuck but it retracts like a button should, but it has died and refuses to power up now. I just wanna turn it on to reformat it. or is it possible htc wont be able to turn it on themselves and when they receive it just trash the device?

so the battery is dead and it wont charge? if it will charge youll have to relock the boatloader and ruu to stock if u cant get in to recovery

Leave the phone on the wall charger (not USB) for several hours (overnight) and see if you can boot. You might also try to power on, or hold the power button, or try to enter hboot while the phone is plugged to the charger (after letting it charge for several hours). As at least one guy that I thought was hard bricked got his phone to boot this way.
What appears like spontaneous power off has happened to some people. So it may be nothing that you did. Hopefully, letting it charge for a few hours will fix it up.

I have the same exact problem as the OP. I have already made a thread and have tried to express my problems but I don't think people are willing to help (although some did and I appreciate it a lot) so I am going to try to get some help here. Help a brother out?

I had this happen. I left it on charge (from powerpoint not USB to PC) over night and then connected back to PC. It didnt start but the pc was telling me USB device connected and disconnected when long pressing power button.
after running RUU and changing bootloader I finally got it to work. I would try the latest RUU from US / ATT as it has newest everything and see how that goes.

I'm one of the folks who tried to help you in the other thread. Saying that you think people are unwilling to help sounds ungrateful and a bit whiny. Remember that the community here provides help for free, and that we also have lives and can't be on here to help you all the time.
Since you've tried charging (wall charger) for several hours, and tried (unsuccessfully) to get into bootloader, there isn't much else you can do. The idea of trying to run the RUU is a good one. But if you can't connect and can't run the RUU, the phone might be done. In particular, the blinking red light is not a good sign. I think there have been some other folks that have gotten this recently, and were not able to recover from it.
But keep trying to charge, and keep trying the bootloader button combo. The fact that your condition happened right after trying to restore a nandroid, leads me to believe its something that can be recovered from, and not a random hardware failure. But that is just a gut feeling, and maybe a bit too optimistic.

when my battery dies and i plug it up to charger led blinks red until it has enough juice to be powered on. you shouldn't try to power on your phone when it is blinking red, i assume that might end up killing the battery for good if you do.

Dead Phone

Well the thing is..i've been using my HTC ONE S for a while now...
Then after a while i tried to root my phone via recovery.
I unlocked the bootloader successfully since when i boot on bootloader my phone said on the top of the screen "UNLOCKED".
Then when i tried to get to recovery...it was stuck on entering recovery..nothing happened.
Installed CWM v6 touch and non-touch same results.
I was going to try TWRP but i went to bed.
Next morning during the day my phone ran out of battery. i mean 0%
i tried to turn it on when i leave it on the charger like an hour.
after an hour the pone didnt boot up..it just dead.
the pc doesnt recognize it at all...the charger makes a "bip" everytime i plug in the phone the led blinks a couple of times before fade again
tried hard/soft reset, tried to put it on bootloader, pressed Vol - and Power button, i keep em pressed for like a minute and nothing happened.
It doesnt show up a Qualcomm dispositive. i mean is not bricked, i never installed a custom ROM/RUU/
he worked like a charm the entired day before ran out of battery.
Tried to replug the battery nothing happened same results.
Sometimes when i tryed to only press the power button the screen flash a bit and then dies.
At the end i let the phone the entire night charging(more than 12hours)
Same results......
my phone doesnt have warranty....

Run the OEM RUU first ( you need to know what network the phone is locked too and choose the matching RUU, should you have a few options to choose from then choose the highest number or latest version, if it's unlocked choose the HTC RUU again the latest or highest definition).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414
If all else fails ...
Send it back to HTC service centre. Best outcome they'll repair it for free, worst outcome they will tell you how much it'll cost to be repaired and if you choose not to repair then you have to pay P&P for device to be returned. The choice is yours!
Hope that helps.

When you mean you tried to replug the battery, does it mean you were able to open the casing of your oneS? It seems your problem is you have a bad battery, or else your battery is dead.

yeah i was able to open the phone, the battery is connected via pin to the motherboard (i though it was solder to the main base)
I'm going to try to charge the battery with an external charger, then plug in to the phone and see what happens.
Is all because of a bug on CWM....TWRP the best!

yes, as I can recall on the battery pin, you'll just have to connect the red and black pin to an external power supply, good luck mate! you can do it! :highfive:

[Q] Nexus 5 Dead

Hi everyone, so yesterday I got home, and like everyday I dropped it on the wireless charger. After about 2 hours I took it and it has turned off itself and doesn't react to my button presses or anything. I tried holding Power, Power+Vol Up, Power+Down, Power+Vol up+Vol down, charged it overnight but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else left to do? (Bootloader is unlocked, twrp recovery + franco kernel and stock fw, it was working for like 2 weeks with no crashes).

If you've already tried holding the power button for 20 seconds it sounds like rma is the answer.

Does your computer recognizing your phone?

It does not, the phone isn't turned on, how could computer recognize it? (btw. The phone takes the power from the wall it seems, cause the power cord gives a noise when only it's pluged in without cable to the phone, then I can take it out, it still makes noise, and if i plug the phone into it, it stops making the noise)

It can recognize a phone even if it's not turned on,as adb,and then you can flash recovery,kernel and etc,using fastboot commands.
So go to device manager and see if recognized as adb,if yes,you're good to go,and try to flash stock rom and recovery.
Also you can try to reboot into bootloader using fastboot reboot command.

Ah yes,my bad,sorry. Also,when you took,didn't you notice that it's hot or something like that? Because I've read on the internet that wireless charging can make devices to overheat.

Yes, 2 times it was hot, but not yesterday. When I took it, it wasn't cold or hot, the same as normal phone would be.

Oh, and one more thing. When I hold power button it makes noise like this: h\ttp\s://w\ww.dropbox.c\o\m\/s/d3e0rqtlzm7x2ig/N5noise.mp3 (Remove all the \ from the link)
Barely hearable so I just accidentally noticed it.

Anyways, I'll go for the RMA. One more question, I really doubt it's possible but I will ask. is there a way to transfer all files from the phone if it's not responding to anything?

Nope, that's part of the package.
if at least ADB was working you could but not possible unless LG revive the phone.

You can ask anything, but don't hold your breath

Do I need to worry if my phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted? (I mean will RMA go ok?)

If your sending it to google, then you don't have to worry. However, your device is fully dead, right? They will most probably swap the mobo or just send you a refurbished piece.

It's making some kind of a noise when trying to turn it on/charge it, and doesn't react any other way, so yea, dead.
