Help please my Polaris is dead

After installing a new rom ,my polaris died ,no lights not recharging , I removed the battery,the SD and the sim card for > 24hrs and still the usb is not recognised and no lights at all and also not recharging any solution????

Hey.
Im reading u have a problem Polaris not booting up or worse not even working. Well i have the same problem and im also looking for a solution.
My device started to play tricks on me, like shutted down when not needed, freezing, and also when freezing i pressed reset button which did nothing but shut the device down completely (not even charging or booting up again). After many hours later it worked again but still had the same problem.
And well... now... now its totally dead, it stayed off for a day and not even charging nor booting.
Come on guys, some one must have had this problem before and maybe u can tell if its fixable or do i really have a f*cking brick on my table. , and also how can i avoid it if im getting myself another device?

I have the same problem with polaries...

Please anybody help me.. Its pain for me. the phone is not opening. What I do now...

Check if your battery is not dead(voltmeter i guess), also what ROM/radio did you tried to install, also did installation completed successfully?
Don't want to make assumptions, but i think it's terminally dead(mobo fried?)

Thanks for your advice...
I checked my battery with voltmeter, it shows ok..
I installed the Salvy.C.83_Megan_v1.4_WWE_Polaris_EzInput_2.1 ROM and it was successfully installed, but after 1 day it is fully not opening, not responding...
What should I do......
Please help..

Could be the nand failing have a look using mtty to see if you have any bad sectors.
Disable usb connections in wmdc or active sync.
Put the phone into bootloader screen.
open mtty Connect mtty to you usb port.
Type info 8 to check for bad sectors.

But my polaries is not powering on
So what I do....???

I have the same issue, my polaris if connected to usb doesn't light orange, can't go in bootloader anymore and mtty seems to not been able to issue any command to the device.
As you know, is there a way to flash an hard spl via mtty? Or another way to flash it on my "seems bricked" device?
As for info, i was using the same rom as you, but mine was working great!
And now seems dead... my invincible polaris...
Please, anyone help us?
Thanks!

HTC Sensation wont turn on? HELP

My mom currently using my HTC Sensation, she told me there was something that said reboot, so i was guessing that it was on recovery or bootloader. So she REBOOTED it :O
now the phone wont turn on. Ive tried pulling the battery out then putting in back in and of course turning it on. but no luck still. i changed the battery to a fully charged one, still no luck. i cant access the bootloader or recovery either.
everytime i try to press the power button, the screen lights up a little then turns back to black. it looks like its out of battery but its not if you know what i mean.
if anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.

Did you try while the phone is plugged in charger ??

What he said ^
If it works when plugged in, It is your battery problem
If it doesn't, then something is wrong!

Yeah, ive tried it. Ill upload a video for you guys to see

Try connecting it to your computer. What does it recognize it as?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGmgwAP_x7U&list=UU3lMxOAnbyc79SjfsNa5p0A&index=1&feature=plcp
here is the video guys.
as for the computer recognizing it.
its not recognizing it at all. Not at all.
i guess it is bricked.

Seems like there's something wrong with your screen, but I'm not sure.

Same same...
I also have the HTC Sensation and got this problem after mixing up unlocking. Basically I know that the battery is ok and that the screen is also ok. There should probably be some physical button to press in order to restore firmware but Iḿ not sure on that. Im offer $10 to whomever can assist me/us in this problem...

HTC Sensation completely unresponsive..how common?

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

Q: Recently rooted and unit won't turn on

Ok, stop me if you've heard this one before (I've searched and searched to find a solution to this issue, so I appreciate any help I can get)
I recently rooted my TF101 and have been flashing different ROM's to see which one I like the best. I'm not a complete NOOB, but I've never done flashing on a tablet before. I flashed Megatron 1.6.1 and when I went to reboot I couldn't get out of recovery and it kept looping back to recovery despite my doing a complete re-wipe/flash. When I finally powered down I wasn't able to power back on.
Now the unit will not turn on, either regularly or in recovery. It's completely dead. I've been letting it sit plugged in for a while to see if that helped and still nothing. I've held the power button down in every conceivable way and for different lengths of time and still nothing.
I'm at my wits end... any help would be AMAZING!!! Thank you in advance.

Can you get into APX mode? You may want to nvflash back to stock and try again.

Sometimes the tf not really shutdown, it just freeze in black screen when we thought it already shutdown. Undock it and plug in charger to see if it charging as it might be given up totally battery drained.
Sent from my awesome rooted Defy: 2.3.6 XDA premium

I have been unable to get the unit into APX mode... when I plug it into the PC it recognizes it as a generic device but I can't do anything with it other than eject it.
I've heard about the "deep sleep" issue and I was really hoping it was something simple like that. I've left it plugged in over night and it still won't respond to anything.
Is this thing bricked? I'm used to troubleshooting issues with devices but typically if it can't even turn on there's not much that can be done. I'm fearing the WORST!!!

The battery might be drained after 2 days away. Try charge it individually first.
As the OP issue.. I fear it might be the display problem but you must be certain before judging it to hardware issue. Still best way is flashing it to stock via NVflash method when all the screen give is black. You can do it by just listening the connection sound on your PC and install the right driver for the APX to work.

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.
