Hi.
My sensation wont turn on. It was low on battery, and suddenly it went black. When i connect it to a charger, nothing happens, only sometimes the backlight turns on.
I have tried another battery, and that wont work either.
I had cm7.1.0 kang7, and it has been fine all the time until now.
Cant find it in adb or fastboot.
Is it a brick, or are there something i not have been thinking of?
How long have you let it sit on the charger undisturbed

Yesterday i had it in the charger over night, but the LED still wont turn on...
I tried the battery in another phone, and that works just fine.

Can you get into the bootloader
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using XDA
No. If i pull the battery and leave it out for some minutes, the screen backlight turns on when i plug it in again and tap the powerbutton. Then, it stays on for a couple of minutes, before it goes all black again.

Hmmmm, that's weird... You might want and tell them what's going on and see if you can get a replacement under warranty... With it not booting up, you shouldn't have to worry about them finding out that it is rooted, if yours is

Does adb detect your phone?
Swyped From My Sensation.
No, adb does not detect it. I will try to get it fixed through warranty, even tho i ordered a new One x yesterday.

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!!

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.
Well it looks like my sensation just killed itself and has gone to the mobile phone graveyard in the sky.
It was on about 85% battery just lying on the side, not charging, then suddenly the screen flashes, it turns itself off and then nothing.
I take the battery out for a while, put it back in , nothing. I connect the charger, it doesn't even light up to suggest it's charging.
Absolutely dead and it's 100% stock with no mods.. Oh well. Off to the HTC shop tomorrow..
Maybe the battery is completely dead. Try charging it for an hour, unplug the charger, and see if you could turn it on.
Can you get to the bootloader?
Try holding down the power button longer. Mine used to require a very long press to turn on.
Matt
held power button for 5 minutes and nothing lol
It had 85% battery then woosh.. a flicker.. and nothing
Sorry to hear that.. keep us updated.
Sorry to hear.. that suxx.. R.I.P poor Sensation
that's a sensational headline
Maybe it overheated. A friend's thunderbolt overheated and wouldn't turn on for almost 3 hours.

Well done HTC you done it again.
I think mine just did the same thing. WTF? I am rooted, flashed Android Revolution HD 1.1.7. Everything seemed fine. It reloaded all of my apps automatically and everything was fine. Was messing around in my office and went to check it and I was getting the "black screen" when I tried to wake it. Pulled the battery and it won't come on at all. Can't get into the bootloader or anything. Have it plugged into my computer with the USB and the LED indicator was flashing a few times, my computer recognizes it off and on but it has alerted me a couple of times now. Weird. I will leave it off for a little while and see if I can boot it back up.

I have the same situation with my phone. I also added the black and white circle batterymod from themes and apps section. I got it to boot when its on wall charger. Seems that itdrained the battery from about 75% to 0% in about 7 hours of idling when I was sleeping, luckily the alarm still worked, but the screen didn't go on before wall charging.
Hope this helps. Going to flash some other ROM, god I miss CM7.

That sounds like mine, apart from the charging bit
Took it to the HTC shop and they have to send it away to their "techie" people to confirm it's "dead dead" before they will replace.
Should be 10 days, could be 30.
If i'd bought it online from them apparently i'd have more rights and they'd replace on the spot.... nice......
Didn't even get a loan phone and this is one of HTC's "brand" shops, even detailed on their site. (
So not only you can have death grip and unresponsive screen...but now it's the whole phone that die??
How the hell I am supposed to switch from sgs2, I am too scared now

Why do you bother, just stick with your Samsung, I bet you are really happy with that one.
99% of the people here have no problems, so I wouldn't base your choice on this situation

But im hoping someone here can tell me otherwise.....
Was at work last night, playing a game on my phone when the battery got low (6%) so i stopped playing, let the phone sit, looked at it a little while later and it was at 2%, it died before i get out of work, no big deal. Get in my car and my car charger isnt working. My car charger has an extra usb outlet on it so i check that with my ipod and it works, so i immediately assume its the phone off charging issue i had before. Except now im not even getting the amber led saying its even trying to charge. Ive tried my wall charger, usb, pulling the battery and leaving it out for a while and nothing. Ive looked around and this has happened to a few people, but they were all under warranty (which i am not) and got it replaced. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if so how did they fix it?
I had the same problem, are you using a custom recovery? The thing that fixed it for me was to charge the battery out of the phone on my external charger
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
yeah im using a custom recovery but this hasnt happened to me in a long time. I just recently flashed to the latest CoreDroid and (i think) this is the first time my phone has fully died on me since then but im not sure. My girls friend is gonna come over in a little while, she has the same phone as me so ill see if her battery boots my phone up n if so then ill charge my battery then replace the recovery.
Do: take the dead battery, Sim and micro sd card out. Hold the power button for 5-10 sec. Reassemble, connect wall charger and don't touch anything for at least an hour. Restart, phone should boot now.

Thanks trying this now. Still have no amber charging led but maybe ill get lucky
Probably old recovery with charging issues. Look up threads by vladnosferatu , he posted a revival method ages ago.

Didn't work for me
**** I think the same thing is happening with me.
Okay no, my charger cable was just loose
so, yeah. My phone is officially ****ED. Just put a fully charged battery in it from my girls friends phone, still wont power on :/
This is even more ****ty due to the fact that i have no warranty
ANYONE know ANY way around this?
If i can somehow get HTC to take this back an send a re-furb im deff. selling it and going back to Samsung. This is the 3rd HTC phone ive had thats given me problems.
Interesting. Would be nice to know what caused it. There is a way to check via adb wherever It's alive a bit, but I'm not sure what commands. Try leaving it with battery out overnight for now.

my computer wont even acknowledge my device never mind adb. Im close to just breaking this damn thing
I've got stuck with this issue on a couple days ago.When I try to plug the charger an LED light will blink all the time and the phone can't turn on, so I left it for about 5 minute(LED still blink all the time and I can't turn it on).After that I pull a charger from the wall and plug it again at the different plug,then an LED light turn normally orange not blink anymore.After a few minute I've tried to turn it on and it work again!
Why no warranty? Don't HTC have at least one year warranty? The phone hasn't even been out that long. HTC fixed my HD2 under warranty even though it was over13months after I bought it.

Got a hold of HTC. My phone is still under factory warranty gonna send it out tomorrow to have it fixed, the phone doesnt even turn on so im hoping there will be no way for them to find out its rooted.
My three weeks old HTC One S has completely died. no matter how much I charge it with PC usb and wall charger, it never turns on again! when i charge it the orange led blinks for a while, and sometimes the screen flashes, but never turns on
any ideas??
When you plug it into a computer, what comes up?

u should never let ur battery get to low,,, keep it charged... leave it alone for awhile..
Did someone find a solution to this? A friend of mine's One S had exactly the same issue..Also recharged for something like 5-6 hours but never turned on again..suggestions?
Only thing you can try is to boot into 'Fastboot' and try reboot from there, not saying it will work but worth a try cuz mine did the same thing 2 days ago and mine was cuz battery dropped lower than 2% while messing around on computer

Are you using cwm recovery? If so boot into fastboot and flash twrp. There is a bug with cwm that won't boot the phone while the battery is dead...the led light just flashes and occasionally you will get the screen flash. Unplug the phone from charger and pc, hold volume down + power to enter bootloader then plug into pc to fastboot the twrp recovery.

I had the same problem a loooooooooooooong time ago. Plug it in, wait for it to have a solid orange LED. Then try to power it on. If that doesn't work, give it a couple more minutes then do a soft reset. If that doesn't work, then you, sir, have a very plush paperweight.

I just googled to see if the One S had any other LED colours except for green, orange and amber, because I would like to customise them as well, and I saw this thread on the results. Sadly, green, orange and amber is my lot

Unplug your phone, soft reset, go to fastboot, flash twrp recovery and enjoy your phone .
Same problem here I was having random reboots screen frezzing black no response when on fully charged I some how got it fastboot and ran the ics ruu thinking it would fine again since it was stock it worked fine for one day I did update to official tmob jb it stared again except this time it died on full battery finally it just gave out would no longer showing any indication of charging or powering on I sent the phone back to tmo relocked and unrooted and they sent me a new one

I have changed my battery with the battery of the One X+ of 2100 mah, if you read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888741 many people have succesfully done this, anyway in my case the battery was completly discharged ( zero power ) and when I plug the phone to the charged I got this exact situation: orange blinking led with the screen flashing sometimes. I can enter inside fastboot with the charget pluged it but I cannot start the device. I have left the phone connected to the charger for a lot of hours but it doesn't charge. What can I do?
So I have a Telus HTC One X that is rooted with TWRP and running CM10 nightlies. Woke up one morning and it wouldn't turn on even after being on the charger all night. All that happens is the bottom three lights turn on and stay on. The screen remains off and unresponsive. Cannot boot into recovery or anything. Also, my computer will not recognize when the phone is plugged in. Is it toast?
In device manager what does it say when you plug your phone in?

It's a no go. I wish the solution was that simple.
did you dirty flash different roms? did you flash boot.img separate? if you had phone under a pillow like i did yesterday it might of overheated and drained battery. i had to wait awhile with it plugged into pc to be able to turn it on again. were you using a custom kernel?
