Hi,
I had the excellent Eleganzia custom rom on my Sensation XE and this has been working for months with no problem.
The phone is rooted and I am using firmware 3.32 I belive.
I recently was out and my battery completely died (this is rare).
Anyway, I stuck it on charge overnight and when I got up I couldn't turn on the phone.
I can't get into recovery mode (Volume Down and Power Button).
When I plug the charge cable into the phone the orange light comes on for about 5 secs and then goes it and nothing.
I bought a separate battery charger and charged the battery again overnight.
I then tried to turn on the phone and nothing comes on the screen. I still can't get into recovery mode.
The phone now buzzes every 20 secs or so. It seems to be stuck in a boot loop but there is nothing on the screen so I can't confirm (screen remains black).
Any ideas of how I can resolve this or do I need to return the phone to HTC as it is only 7 months old.
Hope you can help.
Thanks

Dunno man... Sounds nasty!
Did you try powering up without sim and memory card?
I'd take'em out, and the battery, than after a few seconds put only the battery back, and try again.

remove sdcard,sima and battery and charge the phone for few hours and see (5-6 would be ideal)
I will try that and see what happens.
Thanks

Welp, after years of never having an official brick, my time has come. I had the phone unplugged (fully charged) for about 45 minutes. In the middle of playing Cut the Rope, phone shut off without warning.
Subsequent attempts to power up yielded a faint blink of the LED. Plugging it into a charger gave me a strange series of blinks. 5 slow...3 fast, and then it was off again.
Anyone else had this happen?

Hmm... doubt this is my problem as the phone had only been off the charger for 45 minutes, but going to try anyway....

I put my battery in my friends Sensation and charged it for about 5 minutes, giving it enough juice to power on my phone, then charged it fully.
If you know anyone with a Sensation, I would recommend giving that a go.
I agree with what's been said. Also it doesn't sound like it's bricked, it seems. Something hardware maybe?

No you have an old version of alpharev clockwork recovery image. That doesnt let your battery charge when phone is off. Go to this post and read step2 and flash the updated recovery image. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16125079

That would have been fine and dandy, if I were able to boot into recovery. I had no power whatsoever. I did get it to finally power up using the method above, although something is wrong. The LED is blinking orange at a rate of 1 p/s.
I am also curious as to how my battery went from 100% to dead in 45 minutes. I had less than 3 volts coming from it.
Return it. Sounds like some hardware is failing and you should be able to get it replaced.
The orange blink every second is what mine does when the battery is low.

Did you have clockwork recovery version 1.1.5 from ROM manager? Well that recovery version won't let you charge you phone when its off. And if Ye battery went dead you won't be able to start it. Find a battery that's charged and revert back to cwm 1.1.4.

--I got it to power up by hacking a USB cable up and connecting directly to the battery
--Updated CWR
--Even after a full charge, LED is blinking, although now it is blinking green
--Called it in and getting a new phone later today (Friday)
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.
Hello guys,
I'm experiencing something bad with my HOS. Briefly, yesterday morning I plug the phone from charger at 06.00 am. Play with it for a while and then go to work. Used it at work for a few phone calls until 10.00 am (so 4 hours on fully charge battery). Then at 10.00 am I went into a meeting and left the phone out of my sight for 20-30 minutes. When I came back from the meeting I realize that the phone was closed. I try to open it (power button) but nothing. Press power for 10-30 seconds with volume down - still no effect.
Then I took the charger (the original one that I always use to cherge it) and plug it, left it for 2-3 minutes and press power. The phone starts but all I have is the white screen with HTC logo and if I press the power button + volume down the phone goes into bootloader. That's all I can do with it for now.
I have stock rom, bootloader is locked and I never try to root the phone. Is it any chance to repair it by myself or I have to sent it to the repair shop.
many thanks in advance.

try holding the power button for 10-15 seconds, until all 3 buttons light up and the phone restarts itself. Let go of power button when after 3 buttons light up 3 times and see if that helps?
I've already do that. When I press power nothing happen. I'll have to plug into charger, let it for 2-3 minutes and then press power. The phone starts, white screen with HTC logo appears and then phone restarts and same white screen and .... again and again. If I hold volume down key then the phone enters into bootloader,I can use the options clear storage or factory reset, and restart the phone then same thing happens (white screen with logo and restart by itself). All these only when pluged. If unpluged nothing happen when I press power button.

Might sound silly but have you charged it for more then a few minutes because last time my phone died I had to charge it for about half hour before it would boot right.
I'll try this, but is strange if the phone run out of battery since it was used for about 4 hours since fully charged. Will be back with a feedback. Thanks for the tip.

Ya that's why I said it might be silly but still give it a try. I have seen odd battery drain where it could drain it in a few hours.
I say it's strange because I was on stock rom with same installed apps for about 2 months. Anyway the phone is now charging and I see something different with the led for charging as it turns orange as it should be when charging. Yesterday, when I try to start the phone,plugged in, the led was blinkering somehow. I'll be back with feedback later, I'll let the phone charge until led turns green.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Good news, after keep it to cherge until the led turns green, the phone boot up. I perform a factory reset immediatelly and an sd card clean up and now I'm installing my favourite apps. I'll be monitoring close my phone for the next days to see if sudden battery discharges happens.
Many thanks for your advice @darknites:good:

Np dude. Not sure where the drain is I used apps to look and it showed nothing and only seen it on sense roms and mostly only happened after flashing and setting it up but if you see it just roboot and it should fix it.
my phone is now dead the same way.
battery was fully drained, when turning on it doesn't go further than the bootanimation ( stays at htc one s logo).
Now i have fully charged the battery (green led) and it still doesn't boot up the right way.
Any help? I don't want to run the RUU.

Could try reflashing the rom if that dont work think you going to have too RUU it but use one that has the same Hboot as you got now.
What do you mean by not boot the right way? Can you pass the white screen with Htc logo? Did you try factory reset? Was your phone rooted?

I believe (but can not back it up) that you could have just re-flashed the boot image only. Still 10x probably.. altho that may have been the charging time, not the flashing.. who knows.
On Monday night I used the Juopunut bear S-OFF method successfully and then installed ClockworkMod Recovery and Cyanogen Mod 10. It was working like a dream I absolutely loved it. I restarted it many times etc and it worked completely fine, I had zero issues. However last night, I turned the phone off and then plugged it in to charge. When I woke up this morning I cannot turn it on, no matter what I do. When I plug it in to the charger the orange light turns on for about 1 second and then turns off. Is my phone bricked? Is my battery dead? Thanks in advance

try to boot into bootloader
if it enters then it is not bricked
and try this
remove battery,sim and sdcard and charge the device as it is for 5-6 hours
put them back and switch the device on

I'm pretty sure it's not bricked. I've left it plugged in to my pc and the charing light is now flashing! I have hope that it will be ok How can you charge the phone without the battery?

the device itself has a little energy stored in case when the battery is fully uncharged
ok then if the led is showing red now boot to bootloader and select reboot

yeap leave it for a while
It works!
After letting it charge for about 20min while the orange led blinked on and off every second I unplugged it, held down the power button, and the beautiful HTC logo illuminated across my screen. I'm now up and running and the device is charging. I'm very glad I didn't buy a new battery for $40. I'm hoping this will never happen again but if it does I won't be alarmed. If anyone out there is having a similar issue do not fret!
Problems with HTC Sensation
My HTC Sensation has become unusable due to faults that have recently developed. I sent it off to HTC but apparently it has 'water damage' even though I've always been incredibly careful with it and never dropped it in a puddle or anything.
I'm new to this website so I'm not sure how to go about getting advice.
If someone could help me on how to get some answers it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
I dropped my mobile in water, dried it with hair dryer left it fir a week and then it started again.

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
