Hello, I have unfortunately I think soft bricked my HTC Inspire 4G, while I was trying to root it using a one touch process, it was going through it all fine, and now it just keeps vibrating when I turn it on (which takes about 15 minutes) I called HTC and they think that it might be something with the RAM. I have looked on these forums, and only see so many answers, but none of them seem to relate to me. Has anyone experienced this? If so, were you able to fix it? The phone is under warranty until December, so might just send it in. Any help would be appreciated
Does the phone eventually boot though after 15min. If so you have a incompatible hboot. Follow this thread to fix it.

hey my wife just got this phone; it's a real good phone. it flies with opening and closing apps. there is one problem tho....it does random reboots for some reason. have any one else had this issue? i'm almost considering exchanging it for a new one, but it may have the same results. anyone else relate?
I got a couple randome reboots. I am using ADW launcher so im trying to blame that. Im just hoping that once these devices are rootable new software will make a big difference.
I'm running everything stock , no other launchers and I've had the same issues, not sure what's causing it though but people like steffan definitely aren't going to help with their unnecessary and rude posts. On the other hand I've sent a few bug reports related to this issue and hope that HTC addresses them if not once the bootloader is unlocked we should be able to address it then.

Hell no I won't help in this thread because this same exact thing is being discussed elsewhere and this new thread is starting from square one with absolutely nothing relevent or pertinent in finding a solution of dissecting the problem to its root cause, so no I won't help but continue to flame/bash/troll new threads like these...
Oh yeah my name is spelled Stefan

Not to get in a flame war with you as that would be counter productive, but instead of posting 2 unnecessary posts now it would have been more helpful to have linked him to this thread you mention instead of treating him the way you did.

I agree there is absolutely no reason to react that way to the OP. If you don't like his thread then DON'T RESPOND TO HIM. It's really that simple. When people makes posts that I don't think they should have, I simply say nothing and let the thread die.
Now back on topic: OP I have not had a random reboot at all yet. Thus far my phones have been perfect from a stability standpoint (I've had 3 different ones so far). In case you're wondering, I had 3 different ones because I was offered better deals at different places.
Already 11 days since bought this babe..nope, no reboot problem so far. A little hot 40++C, but normal i think since its never reach 50C.
Really another threat?
Link please?

Same issue here I bought my HTC Sensation when it launch on the bell network July 5, 2011. The first one (and yes I said first one) kept randomly shutting down the day I got it keeps restarting and says and I quote " This phone has just recovered from an abnormal reset. Would you like to tell HTC about it? " Now this was happening like 3-4 times a day so I took the unit back and got a new one fresh out the box and...you know where I'm going with this...same issue so how can I fix this problem? Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or flash the unit?
I had that problem . some apps kill the system .
one of the apps i noticed that did this was Task Killers
My phone rebooted once when I was browsing the forums, but that's it. I hope it doesn't happen again.

Mine randomly reboots. Seems to happen mostly when I'm listening to music. Or maybe thats when I notice it.
I was thinking of sending it back but I wonder if my sd card had something to do with this issue. I did not reformat it when I took it out of my blackberry.
The very first day I got my sensation it rebooted itself twice, since that it never do it again, and I hope it will not.

I had this issue with my first phone, I called HTC and they just told me to return it for a new one and I did. No problems now.
I have noticed a lot of sensations die. Like a lot.
Mine did today too, yet I am still unsure about wheater it was my fault for flashing wrong boot.img and updater script or something else.
But a lot of xda sensation users have dead phones. No bootloader, no fastboot, no led lights, nothing!
Everyone with this problem please tell if you have unknon device while phone is plugged to computer or QHSUSB_DLOAD
Thanks, hope we can sort this out
I haven't had this problem but am curious does the screen even turn on? If not warranty will still be in effect at least thru tmobile.
This happened to my Hd2 I had custom firmware but they couldn't check cuz the screen wouldn't work. I got lucky lol.

Quick question.. I know most of us are being plagued by the annoying touch screen issues.. so my question is:
Users that are using root/custom firmware.. are you still experiencing these issues? This will be the deciding factor in whether or not I root this phone seeing as there's not any release dates for any software updates.
I bought the S4G on July 9th. For the first week or so, I had a problem with the touchscreen where dragging the unlock ring up would rather bring an icon up. It would take 3-4 tries before the phone would really pull up the unlock ring.
After the first week, the problem went away for me. I have been S-OFF since the first of August with perm root and the problem still hasn't come back. Not sure if this is the same issue as you, but the problem seemed to fix itself.
What exactly is S-OFF? And what does it do for you?

My phone used to that at one point and it drove me crazy! Since then I did the whole rooting thing, flashed Civic's back2basic rom and I've haven't had any problems since. It's running super smooth. Did two other sensations with no problems, lag or reboots yet

I had that same problem for a week and then it went away. Hasn't come back and I bought my phone on launch.

Not sure if my problem is the same. On my Sensation, when my screen is turned on, it's not responsive in all places for the first 6 to 7 seconds. After 10 secs or so, it's working flawlessly. It's especially annoying when answerring or cancelling a phone call.
Do you think rooting and S-off would help this issue? I'm now on OTA 2.3.4
S-OFF, ROOT, custom rom etc. does NOT fix touch screen issue. That's what you were asking about, right?
OK, thanks for clearing that out.
The thing is, that I only have this issue after getting the phone back from repair (shattered glass). The repair guy couldn't find anything that could cause this issue. But due to the repair this touch screen vulnerability was triggered. Can't go back to HTC now, due to the repair. So I'm stuck for now.

If you haven't come across it yet, give this thread a read.
It does not. I used the Touchscreen Booster from the market. Works fine.
Rooting helps you to control your phone. You can try different roms and see if the problem goes.
Rooting doesn't but flashing a 2.3.4 ROM will solve ur issues more than likely. I'm using LeeDroid and its great no lag no dead spots.

Anyone else having a problem when trying to turn their screen off? My screen turns off and then immediately turns back on and brings me to the lock-screen. I have to press the power button 3-4 times in order for me to turn the screen off and keep it off. I use a case, but even with the case removed this still happens. VERY annoying, any help would greatly be appreciated!
EDIT: This happens to me on every rom I flash, I've used ARHD, InsertCoin, Pyramid3D, Sense-O-Maniac, and am currently running Hypernonsense. Same problem persists throughout, so I'm guessing the rom is not the problem
That is a very known issue, if you are on stock rom and recovery, you would be able to download an update from HTC, (if you live in Europe or USA) that would "delete" the error.
I'm having the same issue as well. Although it's a small little error, it can get annoying/irritating. My phone is fully updated from HTC and I'm having this problem.

I take it back. There is an update, lol. It's checked under automatic updates and it never told me. The other times it has, though

Hello, I have an HTC inspire and been rooted for a few months. The volume+ has been very glitchy most of the time not working. Even tried a custom Rom and still bad issue. This noting I re locked the phone and put it back to the way it was when I got it. So far today the volume button has worked every time with no problem. My question when rooting the phone is their a chance that rooting caused the hardware issue, that it corrupted the software enlighten to make it glitchy in that way. Is their a way to confirm that. Just wondering because I hate haveing this un-rooted phone lol.
Custom ROMs would not affect your hardware buttons unless you installed an app that messed with the volume.
I really didn't think it was the Rom I was wondering more about the rooting its self. thanks for the reply.
Rooting the phone doesnt affect the volume rocker...you can not break physically the phone from software...

Guys I didn't not mean physical damage. I meant software get corrupted some how, by the rooting process. Phone has been relocked for past two days. I have shut off phone twice in a row, tried everything I could think of to get the vol+ button not to work and it works every time. No matter how hard I push on it. No I didn't try to smash it bit still no matter what it works.
Well volume is messing up now again and its un-rooted. So its def a hardware issue. Sucks because now I have to send it it to be repaired but good because I can re-root it when I get it back lol.

Congrats on tracking down the problem. Just think, it should be like new when you get it back.
