Hey Everyone :crying:
I've had my HTC Sensation since around late October 2011, and thus far it's been a pretty great phone, however an hour or so ago my phone stopped doing what I was doing (playing Need for Speed) and let out a very high pitch squeal and the screen went black, it just stopped responding to anything I did. It wouldn't turn on, It won't charge, and the only thing it does when I plug it in to USB is play the external hardware sound on my computer.
When I first heard the high pitch squeal the phone was insanely hot at the bottom, I understand that the CPU/Hard drive/Charging components are stored at the bottom of the phone so I'm praying nothing down there is fried, but I thought i'd get some opinions from others before I went down the contact HTC Warranty road.
The battery was quite hot when I took it out but it cooled quite quickly and so did the phone itself. The phone wasn't on charge when this happened so I'm not quite sure what's going on here.
Being without a phone is a big burden to me and I don't want to have to send it in for repairs unless absolutely necessary, so any advice would be appreciated.
And yes, I have tried the volume-down and volume up and power button press, it gave off a vibration once during this process which I repeatedly tried over the course of an hour, I've taken the battery out, I've tried a spare battery, I've left the phone and battery disconnected and untouched for an hour and repeated processes above but to no avail, I've tried a spare back cover, checked all contacts are making a good solid contact, I've tried everything that people mentioned on the site, so I'm pretty much just trying to figure out which piece of hardware has packed up on me and how screwed I am
Oh, and I have the phone rooted. It's running Elegancia Sense 4 v2.7.0 with SebastionFM 1.5.2 Kernel.
:crying: :crying: :crying:
If it recognises your phone as in download mode when you connect to pc then its bricked and not recoverable.

Doesn't HTC have a once year warranty? Then send that puppy in because that's a hardware issue if I've ever heard one. The only other time I heard about someone with a Sensation's phone making that noise, they had to send it in.
Sorry bud. The intensity of the heat you're saying was applied to the phone's components (through no fault of your own unless you were overclocking) might have fried something inside.
It could easily be that something has unbinded from the motherboard

Yes by the phone making that sound I would agree you need to send it in for repairs. As mentioned your motherboard likely has a problem. I wish you the best and keep us posted on what's happening with the repair. Good luck.

Sounds to me like yet another case of sudent hardware failure. I hate it happened to you my friend but as others have mentioned send it in for a warranty replacement. The hardware is fried so HTC will not be able to tell that it was running a custom ROM.

I sincerely hope not as my handset has already been repaired once this year already having several major components replaced.

no no its not a brick !!!! the phone went to deep sleep state. QHSUSB_DLOAD can be achieved million ways and it not always corresponds to true brick
OP..
remove battery , sim and sdcard and charge the phone via power outlet for 6-7 hours then the phone should boot up (be sure to have a good charger ..or the original htc charger )
Ok thanks I was thinking that was what they called a true brick. Thank you for correcting that.

Thanks, device is NOT bricked as when i get blank screen after 2nd wire touch if i remove battery and reinsert and reboot phone it goes back to temp root status bar screen ready to run juopunutbear S-OFF, i just do not seem to be able to achieve S-OFF as each and every time i do 2nd wire press it goes to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, i have now been trying to S-OFF for over 8 hours following instructions to the letter. so basically my repaired sensation is useless as it is simlocked and has horrendous bloated orange firmware on it :crying: :crying:

Well to keep you updated I have today spent a further 5 hours so far trying to unlock bootloader and S-OFF with the wire trick... :crying:
I have tried a paper clip and multicore and single core ethernet cable and when ever I seem to get the timing right for wire trick on the 2nd touch it sends my handset into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode
I know it is my timing that is at fault and not the software, just getting square eyes from watching the wire trick video, (I sort of have been trying to say "half, 1, 2, half) which when I watch the video back it looks right but all i get is a totally black screen and no led lights, if i touch a 3rd time it goes into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode and a 4th touch brings it back to temproot status bar screen.
What would be helpful was if there was an audiable tone to know exactly when contact is made in the video as the finger kind of blocks the view (just an observation as the timing is crucial) or is that me just being picky as I don't seem to get the timing right lol
I'll keep going till I get it right as the phone is useless in it's current configuration to me with a locked bootloader and S-ON with bloated Orange firmware.
Just a thought, I have an old version of the Orange RUU which was gingerbread I believe, if I was to flash that would I be able to reverse bootloader to 1.17 ?

That's sad man timing is failing it seems.. Or the wire is bad.. Did you reduced the wire trick timing phase like this?
0.5 sec tap - - 1.5 sec pause- - 0.5 sec tap
Btw you can't use a ruu to downgrade as long as you are SON man

Hi All,
My Desire S decided to die today for no apparent reason:
I had been browsing the internet before jumping in my car and switching on the bluetooth. I had been driving for about 10 mins when I got a call through on my cars bluetooth system, about 3 mins in to the call the caller disappeared even though the car said it was still connected.
I pulled over to check the phone and found it was frozen on the call screen. So I disconnected the battery and powered it up, but it could only get the the HTC splash and sound before the screen turned black and the unit became unresponsive.
A few more tries gave the same issue, so i decided to boot it into recovery to do a full wipe, this completed successfully, but the phone was still doing the same thing.
After removing the battery again the phone will now not turn on at all and does not respond to the charger (no led). I've tested another battery, but still no luck, and tried the bat from my DS in my sisters DS and it works fine.
So my phone is completely dead it seems. I should probably send it off to HTC for a repair, but the problem is that the phone is S-OFF and i have no way of getting it S-ON while it's bricked.
Can anybody suggest anything?
I'm not having much luck with HTC as my mozart is at the repair centre as we speak with a bootloader issue... I might have to choose another manufacturer in future
PS: It was S-OFF but running stock software
there is not much to say...try to remove battery and wait for a while...if issue still persist htc service is only hope

Thanks, i'll leave it overnight and see how it looks in the morning. Luckily i have an optimus one spare that has always served me well... It just does not come close to my DS.
I've just had a development!
When i plug it into my windows 7 pc it recognises it as a device "QHSUSB_DLOAD" but fails to install a driver for it.
Can anybody elaborate on what this is?
Thanks!

Afraid this is not good news...you'll need to reign the device and claim under warranty, I wouldn't worry of you made it soff they probably won't be able to tell, read the recent posts on the ext4 recovery thread as same thing happened to someone else

Ok thanks for letting me know. I must remember not to customize my HTC's in future...
Is not customize`s fault is yours because you removed the battery when it was still working (freeze yes but chip is still working) :| How ben_pyett said you must send it to htc... there are similar posts around here and all removed the battery > htc service ...sry mate

Well i've got it booked in for repair.
Has anybody here had many dealings with HTC Repair, or Regenersis (the UK repairer)?
The guy I spoke to over email (i got fed up of waiting on the phone) about my Desire S was a complete retard. He sent me the same email 3 times in reply to me telling me to restore factory settings... Each time I told him it was not possible as the phone would not switch on...
He then told me that UPS could not pick up my phone for at least 2 weeks, this is despite the fact that I sent my Mozart in for repair last week and was told at least 48 hours. So I would have to find my own way to post or courier it.
Then he books the phone in and sends me the 'Tick Sheet' with the phone information and problem description and in the problem description box he wrote "HELLO"??? WTF? What sort of jokers are these?
At least the woman I spoke to about my Mozart was helpful, she actually gave a meaningful response to my questions, but even she got the problem description wrong, writing just "Reboot Cycle" which is way to vague considering the problem it actually had.
Hey guys, I need some help and feedback. My Sensation has been having many issues lately. I have constant random reboots with everyrom, headphone jack has some issues, dust under screen and a semi broken vibrator. Im planning on sending it to HTC and have to S-ON but i've read many threads stating that their phone has been bricked after trying this:S
It would help if all you guys that have tried it Comment and vote on this thread please. and if you bricked post if you were able to solve this or send it to HTC.
And a couple of more things. If I brick would HTC be able to find out ,and how much would they charge to fix that?
Or what would happen if i send it to HTC S-OFF with the stock ROM. Would they still be able to repair hardware related issues at no charge?
Thanks guys sorry for making this so long!
A few weeks ago I had to S-ON to send it in for warranty (the USB port broke, so it was a little tricky to S-ON). I followed most of the steps exactly (except I flashed the RUU from a .zip from the SD card and skipped some of the supercid stuff), and it worked without any problems once I managed to get usb to work long enough to send the fastboot command to S-ON. Just make sure you use the right RUU for your phone and check md5sums when you download (the first two times I tried to download it had a bad checksum).

Thanks!! and you used the guide in the sticky right? I wonder why so many people have had bricks when doing this.
Anyone else? The more feedback the better!
I use the guide in this topic (its at the bottom of the OP): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
It worked for me twice, I don't know why people bricked their phones, guess they didn't follow the steps properly...
I've send my phone last thursday to HTC, the problem was soft buttons become unresonsive after charging overnight via stock cable connected to PC. Kinda really weird but it was exactly what happen. I was able to S-On and flash the asian ruu buts its kinda different from my original rom. now im crossing finger that they wont charge me for the repair hope to get by delivering it tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone who has posted and voted. So i guess if i do it right i should be safe. If anyone else has done this please share!!
EDIT: Did everyone who got S-ON successfully stay with SuperCID or go back to the stock one??
Ok guys I did it and all went as planned!!! Thank you!
Good.. and woohoo im getting my phone today. HTC called me and will be delivered by 1pm SG time

Hi guys,
I've run into some problems, I installed Android Revolution HD 6.5 two days ago. Everything worked like a charm, now I shutted down my phone to go in recovery, sadly enough my phone won't reboot, does not charge nor does it respond to my desperate pushes on the power button. Anyone experienced anything like this?
Worth mentioning also is that the battery was 80+% charged.. So it would seem strange to me that this would anything to do with eventual dead battery.
Just to be clear: hadn't installed anything, nothing less, nothing more.
If I could just get acces to bootloader through usb or anything like this.
I fear that there is someting seriously wrong here?
What are you guys thinking? Any possible solutions?
Hi,
The same thing more or less happened to me.
My phone went dead one night and wouldnt turn on, charge or connect with the PC. I had already arranged a repair with HTC for another issue and so I sent it off to them and a few days later I now have it back and it is working fine so far.
They replaced the mainboard and a few other bits and pieces all under warranty.
I hope you get your phone fixed and sorted asap.

Hi,
Is there any chance the battery pins could be damaged or bent?
Is there any way for you to get hold of another battery(from a shop or friend) and try that?
I will test the battery in the laboratory tomorrow.. I've read you should get a minimum of 3.6V or something like that? Curious to see what has caused this problem. Do you think htc would see I flashed a custom rom on it if I send it to repair?

That is why i suggest a different battery.
If they can switch it on,they will see the s-off.

They don't use a JTAG unit or anything like that to see what has went wrong than I presume? Well, first thing I'll do is test it right away at the laboratory. I will post the result in the evening.

My sensation was rooted and had a custom ROM on, but I was preparing to send the phone back in when it got bricked. I had managed to install stock rom and do S-on but the phone had an unlocked bootloader using HTC dev website, so I was worried they wouldnt do the repair.
As it happens they did all the work under warranty and didnt say/ mention having unlocked bootloader. It has come back locked though.
Was anybody able to find a fix for this?
My sensation 4g has basically the same problem. After rooting and installing ICS it worked fine for a few days then it ceased booting or responding to a charger (no LED response). I was able to turn on the phone again by letting it sit for a while but no luck lately. I'm wondering if my phone is bricked?
When I press the power button the screen stays black with lights on (no LED).
I can't get into bootloader and the phone is not detected by ADB, I tried the unbricking project thread by Dexter, however my phone is not detected by linux. On windows, i did get it to detect as qhsusb_dload.
Any thoughts would be helpful!
Thanks

If your getting QHSUSB DLOAD I'm so sorry to tell you as I believe your device is HARD BRICKED. You can try jtag. If you search there are several companies who will jtag. I'm wishing you the best and I'm sorry about your device.

I had to return my HTC Sensation to the repair center. Apparently the motherboard just fried. I got a new motherboard and just S-OFFed the phone again. Very weird problem though. As has been said in this post earlier, if they can't turn on the device they won't see it is S-OFFed and your warranty will apply.
hey.. i dunno how this happend :
while i playing real steel from my sensation its got stucked then its automatically turned off.so now it wan't turning on neither no led when plugged it in to charge .. please help me
Did you try removing the battery, or holding the volume down & power button together & see if the phone boots into fast boot?

Looks like it's another one. I am beginning to think this problem is related to some of the firmwares we use since it's happening with different ROMs.
You can try the various things people tell you to do....but if it's unresponsive completely..even if you plug to computer...then so far..no one has really provided a solution or reason for it.
You can see multiple post about it. Happened with mine too...running and then stuck after a long constant tone...then it never turned on again.
If your still under factorywarranty which you should be. Call HTC say phone won't turn on pay shipping fee and they will send you a new or refurbished phone either way it's better than no phone.

If your still under factorywarranty which you should be. Call HTC say phone won't turn on pay shipping fee and they will send you a new or refurbished phone either way it's better than no phone.

I don't think so...
the bootloader unlocking (as htc wrote) void the software warranty
so, if is hardware related you are lucky, they will repair it
try to bring it to htc and say that you did nothing, it just shut down...don't say that you unlocked it or anything like...maybe they will just give you a new one, they can't check if you did something to the phone

Unlocking your bootloader voids your warranty, no matter how you unlocked it, but you have. If HTC gets the phone to power on, no doubt they will check the bootloader status. If they find you've unlocked the bootloader, they will charge you for the repair and damage fees, including the shipping cost.
It depends where you send your phone, if it's a hardware fault they might not charge you, but as I said it all depends on the Service Center.

Really? You have that same constant tone too? Well..looks like it's not related to a specific ROM since I just installed Revolution HD 6.6.2 when it happened.
I sent mine back to HTC...waiting to see what happens now... jsut got there today according to UPS!

I don't know....no one seems to know for sure if it's hardware or software. Some suggested it must be hardware if it's not turning on at all. Yours gets hot when you put battery in? Even it doesn't turn on?
I got the same issue, I tried to reboot into recovery to install opensensation but then it didnt boot and no led if I connect it to the charger ... nothing
the only thing is that lsusb gives me this:
Code:
Bus 002 Device 028: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)
any updates?

Earlier, i was just playing around on my phone then all of a sudden the phone froze. I then rebooted it and it seemed to fix it for a couple of minutes, but then it decided to freeze again. (this then continued to happen a couple more times, then finally it just stopped.)
My phone now wont turn on,it wont connect to the computer, i cant access bootloader and now i do not know what i can do.
Does anyone know what i can do to fix it? I have a nandroid back up but i cant even access boot loader / recovery so i can flash it.
Thanks.

Thanks, i am downloading ubuntu / a virtual machine now, and will try it later.
Edit - On second thoughts i don't think this will work, as it bricked with no change to the rom / data.
Try this.
It's the only way to be sure if it's bricked or not

Did the phone heat up when it froze? If yes, then leave it there. Maybe for a couple of hours.
Last time such thing happened to my device was when I OC-ed too much, then it froze and died just like yours.
Pulled out battery, walked for half an hour, put it back in, worked! (it happened a few times to know its because of CPU clock)

I have tried that unbricking method, and that doesn't work, so right now my phone is screwed.

My phone wont even turn on anymore. I literally did nothing that would have cause the device to brick.
It is starting to look like hardware failure, even though it did work for a while.
Not that this will automatically resurrect your phone, but try leaving the phone and battery in your refrigerator overnight and try again the next morning. It's worked for some people before and you've got nothing to lose.
Maybe some hardware parts are way too hot (CPU, GPU).
The sensation automatically turns off if some parts of the phone are too hot. The reason I think this is because you were playing games, and games can cause the phone to overheat. A Lot.

it wasn't really that hot when it finally turned off for good (I have felt it much hotter than that.)
And the phone has been off for a fair few hours now and it still wont turn on.
(there is also no charging light when plugged in)
There's no charging light even when you plug it in the PC? What about adb? Does your PC recognize your device? Does it say something like QHSUSB_DLOSD?
If you answered no to all those questions, then you have a hard brick and may need to replace your motherboard...

There is no charging light when i plug it in, my pc doesnt detect it (adb)
I managed to get the QHSUSB_DLOAD using this method -

Though, i don't really know where i go from there, as i cant use that htc unbricking method in earlier posts.
Why can't you use HTC sensation unbricking project? You got your phone into QHSUSB_DLOAD didn't you?

It just doesn't work for some reason.
I just get device not found when i use it.
Hmm...I don't know, I'm out of ideas. You may have to get a JTAG.

That requires me sending it to USA though, so i don't think it will be very cost effective.
I will see how much i can sell it for on ebay because i think that a JTAG is out of the question.
Hmm, Ok, I'm really sorry it couldn't work out for you...

if you managed to get the QHSUSB_DLOAD then try unbricking project again
see how it goes
I dont think i will be able to get it to work, as i have to do the wire trick to enable it.
Whereas, in this video he tells you to unplug / plug back in as you hit enter on the script, and as i have to do the wire trick, it makes this method un usable.

I assume you tried a different USB cable?
and checked the batt and ground pins.
