hello. i am looking for some help from some good android guru. my phone was acting up on the ROM android revolution version 3.2 so i tried to re flash and i wiped the phone and everything. then i got a error saying something like catche partition cannot read? but then i got the PD198IMG from the ace hack kit and i put it onto the root of the SD card and booted into HBOOT. the system flashed it fine and everything no errors. the phone rebooted and then said HTC then went to HTC then under neath it "quietly brilliant" and it just sat there for 10 minutes. and every few minutes the screen would go black then said the quietly brillant on it. after i while of that i just took the battery out. i wasnt home at the time so when i got home i tried to turn it on and nothing. when i plug it in nothing. so i thought the battery died and the phone didnt want to charge it. so i got a external battery charger from amazon that actually charges the physical battery. so when it was charged i put it back into the phone and the phone will not turn on. i dont know what to do. any help guys? if i try to send it into HTC can they tell if i rooted and turned S-OFF. or should i bullshi* them and act like i dont know what is going on. and send it in. any help would be good thanks so much guys!!

Have you thought about posting this in the correct forum?

Is any power getting to the phone. When you have the battery in and try to turn it on do any of the leds flash? when you have the battery in and it plugging into a wal charger do any of the leds light up?
Moved to proper forum.

nothing is turning on the phone is COMPLETELY black..
If you cant get into hboot and the orange led doesnt turn on when you plug it i to ac power then your device probably fried. Behold the warranty; if it wont turn on you dont have to return it to stock.

If your bootloader is unlocked, read my signature.
Okay, so i had Infused 2.3.0 (i think that was the number, it's the latest one anyway). I followed the instructions to the T. I had no issues.
About 3 or 4 days later i woke up and my phone had 1% battery. I sent a text, and then locked the phone. I came back to plug it in, and tried to see if it had any battery. None, it was dead. No biggie. I plug it in, and i get the circle loading thing. Then the battery symbol appears (charging). Then the phone goes black and the circle loading thing appears again. Then it keeps restarting. and going back to the circle loading thing. Over... and Over... Then i tried charging it for a while to see if the battery was just really low. No dice.
I put my girlfriends battery from her infuse 4g and it had 90%. Did the same thing. Circle loading thing, restart, circle loading thing, etc. Then i tried to put it into recovery. No dice, it would just keep restarting. Sometimes the Samsung logo would appear, and then it would just restart samsung, black screen, samsung, black screen, then eventually back to the circle.
I got it in red recovery ONCE, i was able to scroll down twice, and then the phone restarted. I couldn't get it back into red recovery.
I thought i had bricked my phone somehow. So i tried to use GTGs unbrick. I loaded it up fine (i'd done it with my girlfriends phone before to restore it to stock). It took me about 15 tries to get it into download mode. It was in download mode for long enough so that the program recognized it, and it started the download to restore it, then the phone turned off.
Now the phone won't even turn on. I can't put it in download mode, i can't put it into recovery, i can't get it to do ANYTHING.
What the hell did i do? What caused the original issue?
HELP
Does your phone still have warranty?
What the hell didn't you do.
Ok well first of all it is not Infused 2.3 it is 2.2.3. Anyway that is not the point, did you have juice defender installed? I do not think it could have done anything, but maybe. What is the latest app/tweak/anything you installed? Finally, have you tried holding both volume buttons and power button when trying to turn it on? This problem you are having seems extremely odd. Try plugging it in.

2.2.3, thanks. I was too lazy to look it up. No, I didn't have juice defender. I used Lookout, that's all.
The latest thing I installed was the 2.2.3 update for Infused. I updated Pandora, and that's all.
Yes, i've done that with the volume buttons.

Yes. Won't turn on.
Well, best thing you can do now is see what ATT can do about it. The worst that can happen is they say they can not do anything, which you then can keep trying the ultimate unbrick over again. This helped someone on an earlier thread.
Same thing happened to me. Take the battery out. Make sure USB cable is unplugged. Hold down both up and down volume buttons plug in USB into ur phone and PC and put battery back in. This will put you in download mode and it will stick do u can return to stock. Good luck

I'll try this again, but it didn't work last time. No matter what i did.
EDIT:
Tried again multiple times. It just won't turn on.
I think you have a hardware failure of some sort... Take it back to AT&T for warrany service.
You probably didn't do anything to it - just bad luck and coincidence.

I'm at att right now waiting. Ill let you know what I say and what happens.
What rom were you using?
They're replacing it. No questions asked. The phone wont turn on. So they said its a hardware failure
The guy was really nice. Didn't ask me if I did anything to it
He tried everything I did. Download mode. New battery. Nadda
got my replacement today. all is well. now to root
First I want to say I love this forum.
I believe I have a unique problem. I searched around on forum and couldn't find my issue.
My infuse is completely unmodified, I haven't rooted or flashed any roms. My phone suddenly restarted today and now it just keeps flashing the "SAMSUNG" logo on the screen over and over every 2 seconds. I tried putting it into download mode but the problem is once I put the battery, it automatically turns on ... So theres no time for me to do the sequence. I'm not sure how else I can get it into download mode. I have all the odin software and stock roms from the other threads.
Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks for help in advance.

Alright, its been a while since I've troubleshot on stock but, here goes. If you can't get download mode,(Pull battery, reinsert, hold both VOL +/- while plugging in USB) try this first:
Make sure the device is off.
Power it up and repeatedly tap the far left soft key until the phone boots.(now i'm not 100% sure, but I think the ATT bootanimation has to show up first before tapping, but trying won't hurt)
If that doesn't work you could try a hard reset: (Warning, this WILL erase all data)
To make my life easier, I'll just link the how-to's lol:

Now these have slightly varying methods, so I linked both. Good luck!
Hopefully you have already fixed the problem by now, but one other thing to consider is the possibility that the USB port is messed up. This can happen pretty easily on these phones if you use a USB cable other than the one that came with it. It is possible for the phone to get confused and think that there is a cable plugged in even when there isn't. I have this problem with one of my Infuses and it causes the exact same symptoms you have described. I usually just plug in the original cable and wiggle it around a little, then unplug it and try it again.
In my case the problem started when I unknowingly plugged a Logitech USB cable covered in mustard into my phone. Don't ask how it got there because I sure as heck don't know. All I can say is I now keep my cables away from my three year old.
I tried all those suggestions and it didnt work, please keep in mind that once I put my battery in it AUTOMATICALLY turns my phone on. Theres no way for me to have it off with the battery in. So I cant hold the buttons down while its off and then plug it in. Or do recovery mode or anything. I am using the cable that came with the phone.
Also, all it does is the samsung logo comes on the screen for 2 secs then goes off for 2 secs and that process repeats for eternity... When I plug it in the battery charge meter starts to come up and then the screen goes black, and then that repeats the same way ...
Before you guys suggest to take it back to AT&T i already did. They said it needed to be reflashed ... So they tried, and told me that they couldn't even do it because it was messed up so bad. And they said they couldn't replace it because I have a small crack in my screen EVEN THOUGH he told me that he knows that isnt related to the problem! Are you kidding me? Great way to treat loyal customers ... AT&T are cheap bastards.

Try these steps.
1. switch off the phone.
2. remove the battery.
3. connect the phone to computer (without battery)
4. press both volume up and down buttons.
5. put the battery and wait to open in download mode.
Yeah I have the same problem, and it is my first and only att phone without an upgrade till 2013. If you figure out how to fix it please tell me.

The power button should make a distinctive clicking sound when pressed. Are you getting that sound?

Yes it makes clicking sound when I press. Is JIG is the only option left ?

Just a quick review of download mode: Pull battery.
Connect USB to phone from a known working USB port on computer. (Infuse drivers installed.)
While continuing to hold down both volume up and volume down (no power button),
insert battery.
Should see download mode screen after 2-4 seconds.
If no, a jig is the least expensive option at around $2. You can also send it to a repair service, think I read that is around $50.00. Good luck.

Same issue ı am desperate
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.

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.

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.

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 do a restore?
Or go into recovery?

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 .

I recently downloaded SD Maid Pro, cleaned out all the double files and now the Infuse just blinks Samsung until it dies. Can't get it to go into download mode or anything else. It just blinks Samsung til it dies. I plug in the charger and it just shows the starburst loading emblem. Can't turn it on, once I unplug the charger, it'll show Samsung and then just blink. Pulled the battery, put it back in.. automatically Samsung comes up and just blinks. Tried everything. I think it's done. Any suggestions?

Can you tell me step by step how you are trying to get into download mode...maybe you might be doing something wrong...also even if the screen goes blank after doing steps for download mode try and see if Odin/heimdal recognize it

Odin won't recognize it. I pulled the battery. Put it back in. Before I can plug in the usb cable it's flashing the Samsung screen.
Ok, try this
1) Pull battery
2) hold volume up + down
3) plug USB into phone/pc with Odin or heimdal running
4) place battery in
See if it boots into download mode that way

Nope, Just shows the starburst loading icon blinking like before.
Hmmm...well, if your not too sketched out and you pay for shipping, ill take a look at it and try to fix it...this is just an option and I understand if you don't wanna do that option ad I am a stranger and these phones ate expensive...
Can you check the power button...make sure its not stuck down...helped a guy not too long ago who had a similar problem only to find out his power button was stuck down

Have you attempted download mode? Could you also provide the steps you did to attempt download mode?

Yes, i've tried almost everything to get in download mode

nothing works it's like my power button is stuck, but it looks fine
M8, im dealing with the same situation with a couple motherboards. If im able to find a solution for that i will let you know. Ive done more than you have because i have even applied unbrickable mod to one of those two mobos with no luck. Pretty much same thing. The resurrector recognizes it but before it can resurrect the phone it will dissappear for good. So im starting to think it could be a damaged or corrupted file on the very lower levels of the infuse. But, at the same time, it maybe some hardware failure since i think unbrickable mod basically goes to the lowest level on the phone. Its a shame, but i have seen this many times on infuse phones. Never had to deal with that myself though....
Possible fix
My son brought me his phone last night with this same problem. I was not in the best mood to deal with it so made him, a teenager, go without a phone for a whole night....yeah dad of the year here. LOL. Anyway, I started working on it this morning and tried just about everyting I could think of until it thought of the Handyman's#! rule....If it doesnt work just bang on it. I took phone and with battery in it and cover on slapped it against my knee on the back cover in area where camera is. Dont try to break it just give it a good smack. Right after that it booted up and is just fine. LOL. I know it isnt the most scientific way to fix it...but it works for me and my son has his phone back. I hope this will help the rest of you out until we have a more defined solution.
