Hello everyone I have a HTC Sensation XE, which mounted Android jelly bean with Rom CM10 Kang Alpha, everything worked perfectly until one day the battery has reached the 2% and the phone is turned off, as there are no longer on, and connecting the power does not turn on no led, I tried to leave it attached a few hours, remove the battery for a while and I also tried it with a charged battery (my friend's) but to no avail.
Connecting it to the PC recognizes it as qhsusb_dload, (but can not find the driver)
I discovered that the qhsusb_dload mode means that the phone is a brick.
Now I wonder: is it possible that my phone is a brick just because the battery is completely discharged? or is it more likely to be a hardware problem?
In your opinion, support HTC notices that are S-OF?
When they call and ask me what I was doing with the phone, what do I tell him?
Thank you all! :good:
remove battery sim and sdcard and charge the phone overnight (should be atleast 6 hrs ) ..it helped ppl who fell in the same scenario

then think that my phone is neither broken nor a brick?
and because it is in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode?
Thanks very much!

its because the battery drained too much (the internal power )
i may be wrong ..but thats my guess
Sometimes if battery drains to zero the battery goes into a deep sleep and this possibly is causing this. I lost battery down to zero once and no charging light or anything came on. I did not try to see what my phone was recognized at so I'm not sure about QHSUB_DLOAD but I do know it had no vital signs not even charging light! What I did was immediately put another battery in my device and it came back to life ! If you do have another battery put it in and see if this works for you. It worked for me! But like I said, I don't know if device was QHSUB_DLOAD or not because I did not test it. All I know is it had no charging light or anything! It's sure worth a try ! I wish you the best and hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.

Hello and thank you for your reply, I already tried with another identical battery and charging, but unfortunately to no avail, now I'm trying to let it charge without battery for about ten hours, hopefully good!
I doubt if its a brick, What I think is that HTC put some code into the kernel and other things that means if the phone has run completely flat then it wont boot up until at least 40% charged - This is what has happened to me and lots of others

Very strange. What were you doing before the battery died? This could be an important factor in what is
Happening. Were you flashing anything ? Or changing anything ? Were you in the middle of anything? Very strange it would do this from just the battery draining ? I've heard of this happening to others also when battery drains to zero. It kind of makes me afraid of draining my battery to zero. I do wonder what exactly causes this. You say you tried a new battery and the charging advice given in posts and still no joy. I wish I could be of more help but I'm not even sure why this would happen .I do hope you get this issue solved soon! I wish you the best.

I also can not understand what happened.
Before the phone is turned off, I was playing a game. I was not fleshad it, touching it with sensitive data.
I flashed a Rom for weeks and everything worked without any problem.
I have NEVER done any overclocking the system.
The only thing I think is that it is a hardware problem and the battery was just a coincidence.
I think I'll try with the assistance hoping to be adjusted with the warranty.
I attach the phone to a sheet where I describe what happened, what do you think I can write to you to be as convincing as possible and do not put a check in the bottom of the story?
Thank you very much! :good:

I tried this solution but when I run the script to find the phone (. / Brickdetect.sh) misses the phone and I can not go on.
Just tell the warentee people that the phone just simply died. I wouldn't go into the part about it being bricked if I were you. Then they can say you somehow caused it. Actually the less you say the better! Don't tell them its rooted, don't tell them its bricked just play ignorant and say it died and won't charge. They will replace it then. When they ask questions play as ignorant as possible ! This will work in your favor. If you go into the part about it being bricked it will raise a red flag up and likely they will blame you. Simply say it died.. ..it won't charge. .....that's it. I don't think you will have any trouble that way. And surely it will be replaced ! No worries friend. But between us how the hell does a dead battery brick a phone? Its bizarre. Now I'm going to make sure and never run my battery to zero again! It makes me worried. So strange don't you think ? Oh well I know they will replace it and all will be good. Please keep us posted on what happens OK. Best wishes to you and don't worry they should replace it without any problem.

That usb mode is for RIFF box resurection. Mode in witch u can flash bootloader, it must be done with riff jtag box! Trust me, i know what i'm talking about... For some reason, bootloader is corrupted. You can aks that in any mobile service shop that have riff.
It's a very simple to flash it again, after that you can flash stock or custom rom. After that everything will be fine again!

Also your story is strange.
If you have just bought and the guarantee I would refer back immediately demanding immediate replacement.
If not you can try with the unbricking project. With me it was not successful!
no i mean now that you i assume have charged the battery does it vibrate or is it totally dead?

Yes, this bothers me also. And its not the first time I've heard of this happening. I read somewhere that some batteries when brought down to zero or one percent have a deep sleep trigger that most chargers can't bring the battery out of and I'm wondering if that happened and effected the device somehow? Somehow bricking it? This is just a thought, I don't know for sure but it's all I can think of that could have possibly happened. Just guessing here but it's possible ? Perhaps? I can't imagine what else could have happened?? I now will try to never bring my battery down to zero. Just in case....it could be completely unrelated but it seems suspicious. Also having heard this happening before makes me wonder?? I do Hope you get your replacement soon and all goes well for you! Please do keep us posted on what happens and good luck!!

I keep reading you want 4.0.1.4 with blue text... I have to say I'm a bit surprised not to see more discussions about this.. a stable/working recovery seems like a pretty important thing and its not clear to me that we are 100% there yet...
I'm also surprised there aren't more discussions on this. My battery died and it was a real ***** to get working again.
This is pretty important.

The version you want is the second 4.0.1.4. Confusing I know but 4.0.1.5 has the charging bug and instead of releasing 4.0.1.6 with a fix someone had the bright idea of going back to a modified 4.0.1.4.

And the problem is if you use ROM manager which thinks 4.0.1.5 is the latest when it's actually 4.0.1.4 second edition (blue text) you need.

Agreed. ROM Manager is best ignored at the moment.
i Had 4.015 charge light came on when charge power off but it was false charge, confirmed with adb, updated with 4.014 with blue text. Charging with power off.

I have 4.0.1.5 and mine charges without problems when power is either on or off. Bit i dont know if it charges with dead battery. As i understand the new modified 4.0.1.4 charges dead batteries also ??
Again thanks in advance.... Hope for some answers
I can confirm the new 4.0.1.4 does not charge with the battery dead. However, I've found that some can, some can't. I'm currently on 4.0.1.5 and until I get an alternate charging source I'm not letting the battery die.
I'm on revised 4.0.1.4 and can charge while off, I couldn't while on 4.0.1.5. Haven't let my battery die so can't comment on that, but I guess it's best not to risk it which ever your using!

Hi!
Strange behavior on my Sensation.
I have installed ARH 1.1.8 (I was back to stock rom due to issues with 1.1.7). I have also installed the CWM 4.0.1.4 Recovery (blue text with Revolutionary logo).
In the Power settings, I unchecked FastBoot.
If I turn off the sensation and plug the wall charger, the battery doesn't charge (led is off) and I can't start the Sensation without first removing the battery...
Then I have flashed the stock recovery, turn off the sensation, plug the wall charger, the led is on during 3 seconds then shut down and again I can't start the Sensation without first removing the battery.
Now I have re-flashed CWM 4.0.1.4 Recovery and re-checked FastBoot in the Power settings and it charges normally...
Do I use the bad version of the CWM recovery? Why doesn't it work with the stock recovery (it did with the stock rom)?
Could it be related to the rom?
Thanks in advance for your help!
NB: Sorry for crossposting but I haven't received any answer in the other posts for the moment...
I had similar problem. I followed guide to debrand and stay s-off. Then I followed the guide for root and super cid to flash 4.0.1.4 updated and then leedroid

Hi, all.
Here is the situation....
In the past week or so I been getting update notices for .....45.....
Message was so brief that I haven't had a chance to get all numbers..
After accepting an update phone was hanging on the exclamation mark doing absolutely nothing over night...
Of course, I have my phone S-off and rooted. Nothing else was done yet, same stock ROM with no alterations. Now the tough part. Since that attempted update battery life was awful... Needed to charge almost twice a day...
NOW!!!! Does not take the charge at all... Charger works, charging my HD2 + USB computer charger nothing works. When plugged in and I remove the battery, insert it back it gives me an amber light for 5 seconds, then goes dark. Cannot boot with power cable plugged in..... Bunch of crap...
Did anybody else ran in to the same problem? Was that update meant to kill the phones with S-OFF? Or it's just my phone crapped up or battery?
Please give me some guide... 3 week old phone and so many problems.
Thanks all!!
No problem to bump my post.
Phone doesn't charge at all
Never, really never install an ota on a rooted ROM, even if its stock. I guess you should start by reinstalling stock ROM and wipe before. The charging thing is a known bug due to recovery. An update is available which you should install. You will have to manually charge the battery with a cut charging cable. Instructions can be found in this forum.

After booting with the *fixed* charging issue, I opened up ROM Manager and was prompted to update to the latest version. 5.0.0.10 I believe.
**********DO NOT DO THIS UPDATE AS IT WILL KILL CHARGING**************
I only escaped because I had a spare battery from my previous Sensation that luckily had enough charge left to turn on the device.
************DO NOT UPDATE UNLESS THE DEVS SAY SO***********
You may lose the ability to charge your phone! Meaning - if it dies, the phone is dead. End of the line. The only reason I could bring my own phone back was because I had another Sensation battery that fortunately had enough juice to boot up and for me to flash the image here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

and even if you were right.. it woulndt be a brick.. there is always this option:

I've had the newest version from Rom Manager for awhile now, and it works fine. Charges while off and everything. We've already got discussions on the new CWR in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242522 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242942
No problems here either
I updated to v5.0.1.0 and got no problems with it. I got 3 battieries so no worries! You wont brick your phone either if you run out of juice, theres a micky mouse way to "jump starting" your dead battery posted above. You guys should really invest $15 for an external charger and anker battery from ebay. The investment is so little for piece of mind.

I think you, sir, need to get yourself a new charger
External charger? Since when would a dead battery = a brick? It's not an iPhone with internal battery that can't be removed.
You aren't even on the latest version of CWM. 5.0.1.0 is the latest and 100% stable.
Please change the thread name to something not as scary, specially when you are the only person that has that kind of issues.

I have always been afraid of upgrading after the last fiasco. I remember the problem occurred when you uncheck fastboot. But when fastboot was unchecked the phone would not charge. Knowing that fastboot is default on many ROMs, are you guys sure the issue has been resolved in the update? Did you try checking to see charging was happening when you actually uncheck the fastboot?

Well it works when when fastboot is checked. Meaning the phone actually is not off. But does the update allow charging when you uncheck fastboot?

Yes. To prove to yourself, pull battery put back hook up to computer and...
adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status
result is "charging"

+1 I updated to 5.0.1 as well and have no charging issue.
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.

Did you root it or anything like that? It really seems like an hardware issue.. Thanks for your reply also btw.

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?

Hi,
That is why i suggest a different battery.
If they can switch it on,they will see the s-off.
If they cannot,it does not matter.

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.
Yesterday i flashed my HTC Sensation with Virtuous Inquisition v.4.0.2. I used the instructions on this site techsliver.com/how-to-s-off-root-flash-cwm-recovery-on-htc-sensation-with-hboot-1.27.0000
Everything else is fine except the fact that when my phone is off and i plug the charger the orange led blinks. I don't remember doing it before.
If i try to start the phone with the charger plugged in it wont start, but if I remove the charger it starts normally. When the phone is on it also charges normally. I read somewhere that it might have to do with CWM. My CWM version is 5.8.0.9 and i installed it using Android SDK.
My HBOOT is like this:
=JunopunutBear=
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1111
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31M
OpenADSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418

Can anybody help pls?
As far as I know this is normal. Phone should turn on whilst charging though, first make sure your phone has more than 40% charge, then switch off, plug it into charger then wait for the orange led then press power button. Wait for 30 secs then if it hasnt turned on thats not normal. Having said that, I have never used virtuous inquicision so it could be normal behaviour for the kernel included in that ROM
Well I have tried what you said and it doesn't work. It's not that i don't have enough battery, I have about 70%. I noticed that the orange light flashes while the phone is off. This is supposed to happen when there isn't enough battery. My phone refuses to start unless I remove the charger. Virtuous inquisition say they use stock kernel.

Does this happen with any other ROM's or is it just the VI one?
Well I had before a stock rom and no problems. I think it's this rom's fault. Can you give me any suggestions? I am afraid that if my battery dies I wont be able to charge the phone.

What I meant was has this happened on any other custom ROM's. but by the sound of it you havent tried any so my suggestion would be to try a different one (take a backup of VI using recovery so you can easily restore your current ROM) and see if the issue still persists.
As to the charging issue, I very much doubt that will happen, only 2 things that I know of will stop a phone from charging:
1. Bricked phone - yours definitly isnt so no need to worry there.
2. Faulty charge - by the sound of it, yours isnt so again no need to worry
No it's the first custom rom I try. Can you suggest any sensless rom for HTC Sensation with ICS?
Thank you, I hope I'll fix it.

Personally I'd recommend SmartDroid Beserk by memnoc.
I just tried the ROM you suggested but it didn't work either. What can I do now?
Try to install another ROM...install team venom's ViperS 1.0.0

I have a bunch of sarcastic replies to this post which I'm just dying to use, but for the sake of not wanting to cause the moderators any additional work I will keep them to myself (for now):
1. I have already asked him to do this except with a slightly different ROM (smartdroid beserk - which is still sense based but looks and feels like AOSP, like VI ROM)
2. My suggestion didnt help the OP and I'm searching for other methods to hopefully solve this.
Edit2: @hunt007 looking at your post history all your posts seem to advertise the team venom ViperS ROM so I would like to know how much team venom are paying you?
If you have a secondary battery I'd try that, your current one may be getting a bit old. Any issues with random reboots/shutdowns after your battery gets below 30%?

No issues at all. Now I was on vacation and I eventually my battery died one day. so the phone was off and i plugged the charger. I saw the orange light blinking, and i wasn't able to turn the phone on. after a while i unplugged the charger and it turned on the battery had gone 23%, so the phone was in fact charging. so basically the phone charges while it is off, it just doesn't understand it's battery level while off and charging, this is my theory.
Finally I found out what was the issue If anybody else has the same problem the solution is to reflash the CWM.
Maybe I had flashed an older version or a CWM for another phone, idn.
