Just wondering how often are people experiencing this problem when the phone become completely unresponsive (unable to turn on, unable to detect, no light when charged).
I had this problem and never had it resolved and just sent the phone back for repair. It seems more and more people are posting they have this problem. Is this a ROM problem or does the HTC phone just get fried? Mine happened after I installed Revolution 6.6.2..it rebooted fine...and reinstalled apps with titanium..then all of a sudden a long tone while I was on phone and the phone unresponsive, turned off...and never turned on again.
Anyone with same problem...would appreciate your experience..and maybe we can figure out why it's happening. And I mean...the phone is just dead...no bootloop, no adb...nothing.
I ''had'' rooted Sensation Juopunutbear S-OFF,I filled the battery full...and install AOKP ROM Everything is working fine....After resetting the phone,
He did not respond...do not want to boot,does not want to even turn on,I tried everything from taking the battery to charge...no signs.....
when connecting phone to computer,sound is heard...and requires some drivers QHSUSB_DLOAD
removing battery sim sdcard and connect to power outlet and tried to switch it on-nothing...not react
is still under warranty....9 months old
I asked no one knows why it happened
I sent it to the service and I hope will not notice that he S-OFF and ROOTED :\
there are still a lot of people this problem here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618683
Hmmm..at least yours is detected on computer. Mine was completely unresponsive...nothing worked. Some had similar problem as mine when not even the computer detects it.
IT seems to be happening quite often..and I am not sure if it's a ROM problem....but it seems it's not only from a specifice ROM.
I had one just like the op except it was stock with s-off, no custom rom yet. I turned it off and it never came back, so got a new one!
From another similar thread:
Charge your phone for 20 minutes. If you're using a Sense ROM, disable fast boot in Settings>Power. Fastboot doesn't actually power off your device, just puts it into sleep, like in Windows. This means the battery drains, even while it's "off".
On this forum, we see it atleast once a week. Something was going totally fine, no biggy, then suddenly it won't turn on, seemingly won't charge, no LEDs, not recognized by PC, etc etc.
The odds are low that it'll happen to you, but more so than other phones.

But is this related to hardware issue or a custom ROM / firmware problem? My question is....should I try to root and do the same thing again if my phone get replaced?
If it's related to custom ROM/firmware pb...maybe it needs to be looked at? Especially when everything is running fine like many people report...
Well it would be nice if ALL of these occurrences were logged into a single thread and each user listed their firmware, rom, and kernel (which I'm most interested in)...
well i got the same problem . while playing a game phone got stuck and automatically turned off with some sound . now its desnt turning on and cant charge it coz led doesnt working ( what should i do?? going to use a another battery . if not :s idk (

Hi to all,
I'm in a similar situation, yesterday I updated the 4ext recovery the beta (sorry dont know what version it is) and it worked fine on the phone.
Until I thought hmm, I try [ROM][04/26/12] Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2 :: AOSP-Experience Senseless ICS (4.0.3). I was going through the software and I've done a format on the microSD card though virtuous, and done a REBOOT on the phone, no Reboot at all. By the way while running the OS lights for the Home, Menu, Back and Search weren't truned on.
Now my phone wont turn on (although I can hear the USB being connected to my windows7 X32 bit PC). When connected to Pc or power outlet there is no indication of my phone is charged or being recharged, no light indicator.
Ok, so what if I tried using ADB commands to see if my phone still beeing detected.
I used ADB under Administrator
adb devices
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started successfully*
List of devices attached ( although i dont get the model number of the phone)
fastboot reboot
waiting for device
fastboot reboot-bootloader
waiting for device
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
waiting for device
Ok no luck. Now tried to do install with the RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_251961_signed.exe
Runed under Admin again, so still no luck, all I get was an Error[170] usb connection Error. So the utility rom still could not detect the phone.
By the way when the phone is off, then I press volume down and power button, my phone is AOSP-Experience Senseless indeed, can't switch nothing on.
All well see what happens.
Yes..I think it's good to have a thread about this problem...maybe some more experienced DEVs can see why this is happening especially if this is occuring because of ROM/firmware or more hardware problems.
I am waiting for my phone to be sent to HTC and see what they say..hope they'll fix/replace one!
Battery, Brick or Senseless
By any chance, did anyone tried to use some friends or family they have the same phone, and use their battery. Maybe battery needs replacing?
Hopefully I can here someone says that I'm right, battery problem.
Also I'm looking at other websites to see whats the alternative to our situation.
Or maybe its just a brick, I will wait and see the Developers of this thread

For some it could be battery problems....but I think most of the ones reported it's not. As with mine..the battery was fully charged 100% when it happened...I think it was actually plugged in even.
The thread is for bricked phone that had this driver thing when it plugs into the computer...but if the phone is completely unresponsive...it's not goign to work!
I kept my phone charged for few hours, although my battery was full as well, the phone remained cold.
i had a similar problem last week on 04/19... battery was charging over night... at morning i turned the alarm off and after that the phone was dead... i sented it to support and now i have a new board inside and totaly new problems...locked bootloader and an unkown H-BOOT version (1.29.0000)
i also tried my battery in a other phone with no problems.
i had revolutionary 6.3. on it

Hi guys
I've had the Sensation for about 3months now, and suddently yesterday it stopped working. It wont charge, no LED's and wont start at all. There have not been any waterdamage, drops or rough use.
I've read a lot concerning similar problems on this forum, but none of the solutions has worked for me.
What I can tell is that I have tried after searching the forums:
- SDK, ADB and try to reboot the device via USB-connection (device not found)
- Win7 (32bit) can't recognise the phone (asking for drivers which are not found in HTC Sync, QHSUSB_DLOAD)
- Trying to enter recovery mode (Volume Down + Power up)
- Charge the battery overnight
- Charge the battery with a plastic-piece covering the two middle pins on the battery (As suggested in a thread)
- Battery out for 1min and then put it back in and start up
Neither of these worked, so are there any other good ideas? Or is it bricked?
Hi guys,
i have exactly the same problem, already have tried all of these solutions, nothing have worked for me... Please help.
PS:sometimes my screen lights up <black totally, but lights up>... when plugged into usb cable or charger... but not now anymore...
I have bought this phone in china, there is S/N but i guess that here in UK i cannot do anything about it since HTC's warranty is not global...

Also keep note of which recovery you are working off of. There have been charging issues with certain recoveries.
Yeah, I read several threads and posts about recovery-issues... Unfortuantly I cant check what version I got myself, as it wont start up at all :/

I would suggest to go to a store that sell's the Sensation and ask if you can test one of their batteries out to see if your phone has either a battery issue or something else. If you are stateside, of course try a tmobile store, but without knowing where you are located, this is a hypothetical at this point.
I know I had an issue with my Nexus1 not booting up from a kernel I had flashed. But I noticed my charging led was flashing three times and then stop. I researched this here on xda and found that it just needed to be put into recovery again somehow. I ended up just plugging the phone into the wall and remove the battery. Try to power it on there and then reinsert the battery and try the power + volume down button. That time it booted for me. But again, this was for my Nexus1 not with this phone.
same happened to me, sent to HTC and had main board replaced, lcd, flex cable etc. the driver the phone looks for is the equip HTC use to jtag... I am not sure if this is a hardware failure or boot corruption...but even though it was s-off via alpha rev it was that damaged they didnt complain... i say hardware failure. the thing is even when i have s-off i didnt change the rom. I have a riff box on order so if this happens again we can surely see if this failure is software or hardware..
Yeah, do what kpjimmy said; go to a store where Sensation's are sold and ask if you could use a battery to test it out to see if it's bricked. It it's not, you'll need a new battery (try getting one for free from HTC, citing warranty. I did it with my battery cover). If it doesn't work, you're mostly likely bricked, unfortunately. Refer to anarchy's post for more info on that side of things
Same problem here yesterday.. can't charge. But phone heat. I just pull out battery, n put back.keep repeated that. Finally can on. U use custom kernal?

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.

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 .

Same issue with mine. Yesterday, 8/20/12, I broke a sim card connector pin and Nexus S wouldn't recognize sim card after a reboot. Rebooted the device again after the warning message: Sim card not detected/found.
Now Nexus S won't boot. Computers (Windows & OSX) can't recognize it's connected and 5 different charges won't show that the battery is charging. Battery still has a charge as I tested it in another Nexus S. When the battery is in, the device heats up. When connected to a power source, the device heats up.
Used Unbrickable resurrector with no success. UR shows: Device not found, No device detected.
Finally, I was running Jelly Bean from OTA update and not rooted. I noticed that in the past week or two the stock Andoird keyboard would cause force closing of apps or exceed processor threshold of 35% even if there was no program running. Google Now was also sucking the battery after the JB update. Turned that battery drain off on the other Nexus. Also, the Android Media process was taking a drain on the processor. Usually running at 40-50%.
Bought this used from CowBoom and hoping the extended warranty will replace or fix the broken sim card connector and unbrick the phone.
Luckily I have an iPhone 4S and a 2 yr old HTC Desire to turn to.
I've read on another thread, perhaps?, that two other users in the past week or so have had this same problem.

Same happened to me. The Unbrickable resurrector also didnt detect the phone. so i made the Unbrickable Hardware Mod (httpxx://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566475) remove the xx from httpxx. now my phone is being detected and the tool is able to load its files. but still the phone is dead, no thing happens and the tool shows no device found after it loads the files. but when i picked GALAXY S from the drop down menu. the tool loads the files and now both the tool and the phone shows download mode with an android shoveling dirt. heimdall now detects the phone but it doesnt work caz its not a GALAXY S. So let us know what happens if u try this mod. cheers
The exact same thing happened to me. Strangely, it's happening with JB roms. And yeah, i told my problem in a very educated way on the ROM topic and they simply deleted the post, how nice.
Anyway, i just sent the phone to the warranty almost three weeks ago, i'm waiting for them to fix it or give me a new one.

i was thinking about buying a new phone such as Galaxy Nexus if my Nexus S can not be repaired or way too expensive to repair...
i had same issue a few days after upgrading to JB JRO03E. i got the main board replaced under warranty. took about 2 and half weeks.
the phone came back with GB installed but OTA'd to ICS then JB JRO03L.
I had the same issue running cm10-0823. Screen froze while sitting idle. Pulled and replaced battery, and phone won't come back.
Looks like cm10/jb is causing some burn-out in circuit board; cpu, memory...?

as i have heard is that new bootloader messes with hummingbird CPU ...
I have exactly the same problem I flashed Codename Android ROM 3.4.1, done some overclocking (only 1200 MHz) and the device crashed. Well, nothing unusual. But I removed the battery, I think it was just when the device was rebooting - I think display turned on, I noticed some flash when the battery was already removed.
I tried to turn on the device, but it's dead. Display doesn't turn on, UnBrickable Resurrector says device not found.
I can send the phone to the warranty, but it's unlocked. Do you think they will find out it's unlocked? Even if the download mod doesn't work etc?
What should I do?
Well, I happened to end up with the same problem. Installed latest cm 10 nightly, started rebooting my phone. The moment I restarted it from CWM I realised that I forgot to flash some mod in CWM so I pulled the battery to go into recovery. Phone bricked, no input at all. Sent my phone on warranty, I hope they won't mind it had unlocked bootloader and cm10 on it ;P
That's just a bit stupid to be honest, pulling the battery while booting why not just wait?

Now I know it's stupid. Do you think they will repair it even though it's cm flashed and unlocked?
i sent mine to repair and they fixed without paying a dime!
Cascabreu, you just made my day Well, I just have to wait now

The mainboard is fried. No way of knowing previous state of your phone. They will just replace the board.

I had the same issue back in August just after I flashed 4.1.1/JRO03E. It just died one day while listening to music. Took about 3 weeks to get the mainboard replaced under warranty. It came back bootloader unlocked and with Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed.
Hello,
I am an owner of HTC Sensation, rooted with Android Revolution 7.3.
My phone has ~1,5 years, since its first days i was using Android Revolution ROM, never had any problem.
Today, my phone first lost signal. Itcould not connect to any mobile network so I tried to restart it, when i got back to it after 5 minutes, the phone was stuck on beats audio logo and when i touched it, it felt very hot, it was never that hot even I used it for hours playing some games or browsing internet. (I think it was processor, down side of the phone, below battery, but because of that battery got a bit hotter too) I had to pull off the battery, I've waited till it got cold and tried to run again but rom was not working so i reflashed it from my sd card, after the next restart (phone did not get hot) when phone was checking installed apps, it simply turned itself off. Before battery showed around 80% charged, after reinstall 30% and it happened in max 10 minutes ,but after that shut down I could not turn it on. LED was not working, I tried pulling off battery, charging it, charging without abttery then connecting it, trying to reboot with abs but PC could not see the device.
The only thing I noticed, when i was trying tocharge it for the first time, processor was getting hotter but LED was not working, but then, it simply went cold.
I have no idea what I could do more here, it looks like hardware problem but te only thing i could not check was putting a new battery and try it then. Is there anything I can do more about it?
For any help, thank you.
PS: When the phone 'died' it was using faux123's 1,5 GHz kernel which came with the ROM. AsI said, before this event, everything was working perfectly, no sign of this incoming event. No restarts, freezes or crashes.
*If it matters, i was charging phone every 4-5 days, never let it go below 10%, bettery is from HTC EVO 1730mAh (original).
can you boot to the bootloader?
if yes do it and select from there reboot

Re-tried these methods, hoped I had done soemthing wrong before. I saw the artice before, was hoping there are different ways to revive the phone. Tried this, says device not found. Looks like the only method would be this JTAG box but it's a bit expensive or try to send it to repair.
Anyway thank you for your time, I appreciate it.
-And if I might ask, any idea why the phone heated up itself on nearly last startup as I mentioned in my thread? It would be allright if the phone just died before this event, now it just makes me think there might be bigger hardware problem which just caused the death and it's not worth repair.
Hello. I have problems with my device, a Motorola Razr xt925 HD. It doesn't start, it just keeps the green led blinking when connected to wall charger, and when I plug the USB, makes a sound of a new device detected but only for a few seconds then it makes a sound of an unplugged device, and so on. It doesn't respond to any combination of buttons. I let it charging overnight, even though the battery was nearly full before this happened. Don't know if this is relevant but before this happened, I was going to flash stock Retail Brazil firmware by fastboot and got a flash failure. I turned it off and then it wouldn't turn on again. I never had this happened, I had problems but I always solved them all. Not this time hopefully you guys can help me or tell me what it could be, because I doubt it was the battery. I leave you a video showing my case.
i dont know for certain but the only time i see that green light is when battery is ou and i put it to chrge. Could your phone be in apfastboot and can t charge. It is a bit of a tough situation to troubleshoot.
Did you try keys combo to put it in fastboot, and test it by flashing
or maybe use rsd lite see if it shows you device connected? maybe then you can flash stock
i am sure there are other possibilities, let s hear from you
There's no way to enter in Fastboot by key combos and RSD lite doesn't show my device :/ maybe I need a factory cable, just in case that the battery is empty. I need more suggestions please
me paso lo mismo
did you find any solution?
im having this problem after i start using KK 4.4.2 seems like the phone go to sleeping mood by it self while my screen is locked so i have to keep clicking at power and volume up and down to restart the device now im looking for an update or a fix for this problem, another problem is the device WIFI do not catch my house signal while im away 10 feet from the house the software have bugs
I've been using CM 11 (KK 4.4.4) with no issues. This is a flash problem or maybe the battery. My phone is still dead btw I see that two more people are having the same problem here... we need a solution please.

i think your your device is dead.
this exact thing happened to me.
it happened on september, i was forced to get a new device.
i love this phone but it was dead.
i hope a fix comes through i would like to have it back
I ll take one of your hand, I need parts if interested
Any update with this? Did you try with a factory cable?
I'm going through the same thing , I read the other day that and the driver installed and nothing more .
keep trying to revive my device.
I'm going through the same thing. When I plug it into my pc , under device manager it shows "Human Interface Device" then it unmounts itself then remounts itself then unmounts. Over and over..... I've even replaced the battery.
I was running stock rom with just root, phone was working great. phone rebooted, screen never came back on but when i connect it to my computer it sees it in adb..........
Any advice would be great.
Thank you

This thread for the droid Ultra might interest you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/droid-ultra-maxx-brick-recovery-t2830806
There is some discussion of the Razr HD in this thread. It looks like someone with an unlocked device would need to dd their bootloader partition for this method to work.
A few years later .... Any solution? rsrsrs
any update on this scenario?
i have this situation too and the time could give us an answer, i am searching again, i took my device to some 'phone repair stores' and in less than 5 minutes they told me that the phone was dead, but i have my last doubts
Just to add an update here
I ended up with the Green light only and blank screen after trying to fix a battery issue, despite getting a number of batteries my phone wasn't accepting the batteries.
I remembered a battery issue a long while back, so went to reflash my phone to see if it resolved it.
I ended up with the green light and blank screen and no matter what buttons, it would just make a noise then keep rebooting.
I ended up using the Unbrick bat file.
RSD Lite was briefly showing a Medfield device of something starting with Med, but since the phone kept rebooting I couldn't reflash it again.
I did the Pwr and Vol down and as soon as I saw the device, I clicked the UnBrick bat and it managed to get my Moto logo up.
I then booted to Fastboot mode and reflashed and my phone is back,
See this link for the UnBrick, but when you do it, you have to be fast to catch it while the device is seen, otherwise the phone reboots after 4s or soo.
Softely Unbrick XT890 Razr i - Really Unbrick the Zombie
Well do not think that this thread is one among others. It's my experience when i messed up with my Razri. I wish I had this before, so I'm sharing it with you ! Every has his experience and a way to do it, so this is mine First I searched...
