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
Hiya
I have a HTC Sensation XE and will not turn on or show any signs of life.
I left it to charge for 24 hours and then i put a volt reader on the battery and it read 3.5v and when plugged in, the phone gives off 3.8v.
So i know that the battery has power and the phone does charge but it will not turn on for the love of god. Even when connected to the computer it isn't recognized as plugged in.
Can anyone help me turn on my phone please?
P.S. It went for repair at O2 for the same preblem and after 5 days of getting it back it has done the above.
Hi, probably that's gotta be a hard brick... j-tag your phone to ressurect

can you access to the bootloader?
if not then do the unbricking project
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351
if that fails too then do as the above user said(jtag method)
jtag is something like a machine(maybe i am not so sure)
go a local repair shop which has that kind of support but i think it will cost you a lot

j-tag? well it's a hardware, something like a connector which is able to resurrect bricked phones, only it can I think.

Sensation XE won't power on
I have a similar issue, Sensation xe beats version. New screen installed, battery run low and the device powered off...No LED when charging but Back-light comes on when plugged in but no boot (no sound or screen response) Device will also not go into hard rest and is not recognized on adb or the unbrick project.....(although not previously rooted I thought I would give it a try) I have searched XDA/Google for days and no one seems to have the exact issues I am having...may be sleep mode due to low power however every fix I have attempted has not worked, I am hopefull as the back-light does respond to the power button and automatically comes on when plugged in, shown as QHSUSB_DLOAD in windows 7.
would Jtag/riff sort this issue and what is the average cost to do so?
if not and it is a hardware issue with the PCB... possible processor code mismatch? (late night Google search to a Japanese forum regarding frequent battery pulls) can this also be re set and what would be the cost ?
many thanks in advance
Same Problem

Hello, I am facing the same Problem as that of yours. HTC Sensation XE
purchased from ebay with sellers warranty. The Phone worked fine for 10 days.
Today morning, it suddenly got switched off for no reason. When I press the Power Button,
it just flashes a white light (backlight). I tried to hold volume and power. Same thing..No change.
I tried to connect to power by removing battery and reinserting. The same backlight comes and no sign of charging
indicators(LED). Please let me know if you have solved your problem and what action has been taken
Thank you
Hi,
I rooted an HTC Explorer and installed cyan9 rom. This was my mums phone and all was ok, while on holiday apparently it kept freezing on the htc screen so they kept taking the battery out. After charging the phone seems to be totally bricked and won't switch on or even show any signs of life even with the charger connected.
It seems odd as it was working before it was bricked and I don't think any settings could have been changed.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi, I let my friend use my HTC Sensation around a week ago and he was playing a game when suddenly it turned off and did not turn on again.
I suspected it was the battery being drained to 0% as the battery was quite hot.
After getting home I plugged it into the charger with no LED showing or the phone turning on so I reseated the battery, tried charging the phone for 6 hours, tried taking out the battery for two days and leaving it and I also tried plugging it into my laptop with HTC Sync Manager only to find the QHUSB (Or something like that) issue. I am really worried and the only other things I could possibly think of doing is sending my phone to HTC (although warranty expired) or trying a new battery.
Please help
P.S
My HTC is rooted S-OFF (By factory)
and running ViperS 5.1
Thanks in advance

Hi,
i tried to encrpyt my rooted One A9 yesterday. It started the encryption as it is supposed to (Battery charged to 89%, charger still plugged).
But about 2 minutes later the screen just turned black.
Now the phone can't be turned on, no matter which button i press.
It is also not recognized by my pc when i plug it in.
Also the orange charging LED is constantly lit although it isn't plugged to any charger.
As i can't seem to find anything about this issue on google or here in the forums, i hope someone can help.
Or can i simply throw it away now?
Specs:
European HTC One A9 (no branding)
Unlocked Bootloader (TWRP Recovery)
Rooted (SuperSU)
Stock HTC Rom (can't recall the version, should be latest european)
Thanks in advance
Solution... Kind of...
Ok, since i got impatient i opened the phone and removed the battery to turn it off completely.
It seems to work again now, although i got no way to make sure because my screen broke in the process of opening it :crying:
But i can hear the bootsounds and my smartwatch connects when its on.
Anyways, for people having this problem in the future, it should help to just let the device run out of battery (which should take ages, since its off and only the led is on).
Thank God a new screen costs almost the same as a new device...
