Need help/advice - HTC Sensation

Ok so today i was playing wind up knight (running CM9 beta 2) and my sensation got stuck so i tried to reboot by hold vol + and - and the power button...nothing happened, so went ahead and did a battery pull
when i tried to turn it back on, back light turn on but the screen dies but the phone vibrates as it always does when u press the power button to turn it on, then if i wait like 20 secs it vibrates the same way again (keep in mind the screen is off), the 20 secs later vibrates again, and so on
so im assuming im in a bootloop and screen is not turning off
so i decided to try going to hboot to try and see if adb recognizes the phone and it doesnt but i press the power button again to go to fastboot and the pc recognizes the phone, i tried fastboot devices and it indeed shows up my s/n (keep in mind screen doesnt turn on as well in hboot)
so ive been thinking my options at this point are:
*try using fastboot flashall, to flash new firmware and stuff however i dont know how to do that, ive just read that command can be done, but i havent found anyone using it on the sensation
*or i can also try an RUU, thinking about the telstra RUU since my sensation is a telstra one, however i dont know if ill lose s-off if i do this, also i dont know if i have to change my CID to the telstra one since im super CID
my fear about losing s-off is that if my screen doesnt turn on after running the RUU i wont be able to use fastboot commands anymore to try more options
so anyone have advice on what can i possibly do?
thanks

Can you reboot into recovery? If so why not just super wipe and flash a new from?

Since the phone doesn't support Braille, how would he? He is without screen!
From my point of view seems like hardware... Most probably the screen... Or the gpu try flashing an ruu with out turning to s-on and pull a logcat... It might just help

i just flashed the RUU and no dice still no screen seems like im not stuck in a bootloop anymore
still no ADB commands since ADB debugging is off lol only fastboot
is there a way to get the logcat via fastboot or without adb?

Take a look here... It might do the job. http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/12834/broken-screen-cant-adb

thanks for that link it dled screencast but it need adb to get to work :S
so i tried flashing a cwm via fastboot cause i read adb can be used while in recovery after flashing i rebooted into recovery and got some drivers to install but 2 of them the last one fail, device manager recognizes the phone as an HTC Modem in recovery and no ADB commands =/
also tried setprop persist.servece.adb.enable 1 but not sure where do i have to try it

also forgot to mention when the phone is off and i plug the usb the led lights up amber after a little bit it gets green (i assume its cause the battery is fully charged) if i press the power button the phone vibrates and the led goes off

Bump for HEEEEEELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
apparently i dont have a radio either, even after flashing the RUU
tried flashing one but i got the FAILED remote message

out of curiosity. Pull the battery and put it back in. Hold volume down and while still holding volume down button press and hold the power button. Are you getting to the HTC boot loader. If so then good. Now grab an ruu for your phone and see if it will run. Don't worry if the ruu tells you to boot the system on and click next to proceed. Flashing a ruu you will NOT lose s-off. If you can't see a screen to tell if you are in the boot loader still try to do the ruu. Let me know what happens and I will try to help you out further or not

just did, for the second time still nothing happens =/ the telstra RUU i booted to fastboot usb before flash so RUU would recognize the phone
what else can i do?

So ruu recognized the phone and finished flashing?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App

yup, still no screen

Hmm not looking good. Have you tried removing the SD card and try to boot the phone without it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App

yes, also without the sim card

I am afraid you will have to send to HTC for fixing or buy another sensation. Definately seems like a hardware issue that a ruu won't fix or anything currently available to us.

another option would be to purchase a USB jtag to go into phone via serial. Beyond my skill there but treve on evo3d forums may or may not be able to help or anyone else? Which leaves yoibto decide on a replacement phone. Treve's post is [wip] download mode serials etc etc in the development section. I would link it but I am on phone atm.

Check the battery. Else I fear its hardware..
Connect it to your pc and try
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This might help

When you plug it in to pc/charger, does the orange light come up?

nope..no light came up.
I recognise this problem.. I've had it too, no blinking LED while charging or something..
If your phone doesn't even boot, I'm afraid it's bricked.
In my case I sent it to HTC and they swapped the MB..
They didn't say it was rooted or something..
When you plug your HTC to your computer, and you check your device management,
does it say you need a driver or something? (QHUSB-DLOAD or something?)
Just read again your op. Does your phone show any signals of life?
If yes, take the battery out hold the vol- hard, insert and push the power button

in Bali..yep there is no ht service centre here..but my htc has no warranty..i didnt buy this phone..somebody gave it to me
sorry first properties
and maybe your computer reacts if you install htc sync for the drivers
We've got to figure out WHY this happens guys. This happened to me as well as many others. No obvious user error, just sudden death. The devs need to look at some of the mods they are doing and see if there is some connection possible to this.

not working..i guess it is bricked
Of course we have to figure that out.
In my case it was my own fault, because I forgot one command line in CMD..
But in my opinion we do not have to figure it out in this thread

Then I'm also afraid it's bricked..
i guess this is the end of my sensation..

[Q] Sensation stopped working completly

First off, i'm not bad with computers, but apparently not so great either.
Also tried searching, but I couldn't find it.
Then my question.
I tried to unroot my phone and followed this guide of the unlocker.
downloaded a RUU (after a lot of searching for mirrors) and I think it didn't work properly.
Either way, I continued with the guide doing the following in the cmd on windows
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now, my phone doesn't do anything anymore. Doesn't charge (or atleast the LED does not turn on) can't turn the phone on, nothing. I checked the SD card and that is still all in tact.
Is there any way to let my phone work again?
I would really appreciate the help!
Phone specifications
HTC Sensation (3g)
Vodafone NL Carrier.
If you remove the sd card and the battery, than after some seconds re enter just the battery and try to turn it on, does the htc logo come up? Does the screen turn on?

Did not work, unfortunately
if it doesnt even charge sounds like it bricked...
Did the RUU flash ok? Got any errors?

It did not i found out later
So battery taken out and let sit for a few seconds and still nothing..sounds disturbing. try putting the battery back in and press the power button and the volume down together at the same time for a few seconds.. anything?
I"m having the same issue with mine. S-Off, root and CID all went perfect. Went into clockwork, installed/ran the superwipe program, flashed the AHDRev ROM successfuly, then installed the 'bricked' kernel. Also went successfully.
Then popped battery, then nothing. LED flashes to indicate charging, but phone refuses to boot. Popped battery up to 10 minutes, also tried whilst on charger
Nothing in fastboot cmd prompt either

Did you also use clockworkmod or 4ext?
I wonder if that's the pattern
ARHD specifically ask for 4ext in the guide.

Believe it or not but batteries dying or defective can result in the same issues I'm seeing. My sensation had to have a battery replacement before. Led indicator stays orange and black screen occurs. I don't know if that's what the problem is and it can be a handful of different things. Sorry to hear about your phones. Hope you get it up and running again

TRYING to install firmware

Ok so Im trying to install the latest firmware, i put it on the root of sd, checked the name and everything and when i go to boot nothing happens. No prompt.. nothing.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
did you hold down the power and volume down? It should automatically start up. Maybe you renamed it as a double .zip. Windows hides that by default just make sure.
Uncheck the "fastboot" option also
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with Beats Audio
Didnt work.... None of it. But i finalllyyyy got it to work on its own. After like ten times booting it, it finally scanned on its own and its all good. Idk what the problem was or how i solved it other than just booting over and over lol.

Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA
Now it just booted... I think tacroot was not fully removed from phone

Are you in ics or still in gingerbread, I don't think tacoroot work on ics.
Turn off your phone by pulling out the battery. Plug in back the battery, cover & usb. Set the pc with the tacoroot uninstall command line. Turn on the phone and run the command line. Sometimes it need to run on right moment to work, try few of time or more. And hope you get a luck.
If does not work you may want to clear cache & dalvik cache if you have custom rom. If not I am afraid you have to reset to factory default.

[Q] Total Screen Unresponsiveness of HTC Senastion z710e after SofteareUpdate

Hi, if it is software related, the only thing I can think about is to install a fresh software and see if the issue will be resolved. Choose the appropriate RUU and flash it through your pc. Please follow this guide to do that.
