So i was running cm10 and i wanted to install a kernel. I when to install and kernel via rom manager.. When i tried to install in the screen went black and i havent been able to get the phone to turn on since,,,, i noticed when i try to put the phone into dload mode nothing happens... When i plug the phone into the wall charger the led light turns on as if it was charging but i dont have the battery in.. If i put the battery in and i push the volume down home and power nothing happens...can someone please help??? Please!!!!!!!!! I think the kernel was something like k74 something like that...
If you arent able to get into download mode, or even get a vibrate out of the phone, then sadly it may be hard bricked. I don't understand how flashing a kernel could hard brick the phone, though. At any rate, worst case scenario is you will have to send the unit in for a JTAG repair if you are unable to get it to boot in any way.

Welcome to AOKP/CM. lol Wouldn't use rom manager myself but hold on a few and Droidstyle or Annoying duck should chime in soon. I don't remember how bricked that means. Maybe able to leave battery out awhile and get it back.

i have never heard of jtag... can you give me more info just in case
JTAG is the only way to recover from a hard brick. It is a service that is performed by only one (or maybe a few) companies in the world for the S3 (and many many other devices). Heres a link to the service, which starts at $60, and a link to the video of the S3 being unbricked.

Try leaving the device plugged into the charger for a hour or so then try to get into odin mode...if still nothing then it sounds like you flashed a kernel that was for the international s3.

Did you install the 10/14 nightly? I noticed that when I installed the 10/14 nightly and then installed leankernel over that my phone would no longer boot. A simple flash back to M2 and leankernel fixed the issue. 10/14 had a lot of kernel updates so I think that's the problem.
VolUp+Home+Power to boot back into recovery I believe.
Do all of your flashing manually in the future. ROM Manager = no.

check it out i flashed a rom right and it didnt want to boot into recovery so i took the battery out and it never turned on again????
Plug it in let it charge a bit. If the orange light blinks four times and turns off, then you need to do a battery swap.
If it charges then let it charge boot unto recovery and restore your backup. I hope you made a backup.
Which Rom were you flashing?

Mate, you're really not helping yourself here. Can you please give a step-by-step of what you were trying to do and a bit more information as to what happened when it didn't go to plan?
e.g. I was trying to flash a new ROM. The ROM update completed successfully but upon rebooting it wouldn't turn on.

Pop the battery out for about 10 minutes then put it back in and try charging the battery. Also try charging from a different power source like an AC adapter or via your computers USB port. If the battery light doesn't come on then your battery is most likely dead and you may need to find a replacement.

you said you didnt get any signal. dude you prolly didnt flashed the correct radios. some roms tells you witch radio you need before flashing the rom. not all the roms have the correct radios due of a lot of sensation worldwide. had you tried to go into fastboot at all by holding power and vol down at the same time.

So i tried to flash a different kernel on my Samsung Infuse 4G running the latest CM7 build. I used SGS Kernel flasher to flash it, and it said the kernel was flashed successfully and it went into reboot, i tried to let the phone sit for a while but all that kept happening was the samsung logo would pop up and off, repeatedly like it would sit on the logo for a few seconds then jus turn off and repeat so is there any way to fix this? because so far i have not even been able to enter recovery mode by normal means, i have not been able to enter download mode, i dont know if its my timing or the cable im using (an iGO Green usb cable btw) but i can not get it into either mode... also i am just recently finding out that the kernel i tried wasnt even for INFUSE (i was misguided by when it said CM7. but i got it from here [DER KERNEL] [gpl] NS+4G Trinity (E)UV and OC 2.6.35.14 CM7 + m(any) roms (idont know how to do links sorry, but it is on XDA though, thank you to anyone who can try to help.

LOL same thing happened to me, except i was flashing a tw4 file that was meant for a GS2 (idiotic). Try holding the up volume button and power until the screen goes off, or pull the battery. Then hold both volume rockers and power until samsung screen comes. Hold it like one second after, should work. Then probably restoring from in cwm is best bet, there are no kernels that are made for infuse on cm7. Sorry, if you recently made a backup then restore the phone then do that. Make backups often, incase stupid decisions like this happens lol. If you can not even get into cwm, then this is your friend. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
EDIT: O wait, if cwm does work, then contact linux bozo over on compiled cm7, he may be able to provide you with a cwm flashable kernel.
Ok...you cannot flash any kernel...(infusion,entropy...ect...ect) with cm7 or miui ...the have their own kernel compatible with that build...and if u look in cyanogenmod settings in settings/cyanigenmod settings/performance....it has its own governor and can be overclocked or underclocked from there...really don't need another kernel with cm7...

any luck on this??? i jacked mine up trying to flash a new firmware and am stuck in the same boat with my sensation being completely unresponsive.
You could factory reset it:
From the manual:
If you can’t turn HTC Sensation 4G on or access settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on HTC Sensation 4G.
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button."

It was stated that he can't access the bootloader, which is what is required for the "FACTORY RESET"...
There are a number of people reporting this issue. I've even experienced the issue after the device powered down due to a drained battery. Luckily I have a stand alone charger. I put the battery on the charger for about 15 minutes, put it back in the device and it was able to boot, charge, connect usb etc...
I tried for 20 minutes to get any response from the device before trying the charger.
No charging LED isn't a good sign.
There seem to be more and more people reporting with this problem these last few weeks. IT happened with mine....it was not battery drained cuz it went dead when battery was 100% charged. I've been trying to get input as to whether this is related to ROM or firmware we're flashing....but no one seem to know.
Nothing will work...ADB...battery out...etc...I've sent my phone back to HTC...waiting to see what happens.
There are at least 3-4 different post with the same problem the past few weeks.

Well what i did was that i had a brand new sensation, i got it s-offed, rooted, cwm, superCID. all that done following the guide here on XDA. i wanted to have the new elegancia ICS rom which required the 3.32 firmware with the 4ext recovery. I got the 4ext flashed and then flashed the 3.32 firmware which caused a bootloop. then i panicked and tried to put it back to stock. not realizing that it was prolly bootlooping due the stock rom not being compatible with that firmware (not positive if that caused the bootloop. just a guess) it bricked after trying to put it back to stock. nothing responds. computer doesnt recognize it. new battery doesnt to anything. no charging led. looking back on what i did. I was still able to get into the 4ext recovery when it was bootlooping. If i flashed a compatible rom while it was doing that would it have fixed the issue. can anyone confirm if the bootloop was caused due the the stock TMOUSA rom not being compatible with 3.32? Tmobile is going to send me a brand new one. I'd like that rom but dont wanna repeat the same mistake lol
Thanks

WEll..if your phone lights up or have some response.maybe you can still do something by connecting to computer. Mine was completely unresponsive...and can't be detected on computer!
Maybe it's an overclock issue? I've read on different threads that there may be a motherboard issue. The sensation is known for overheating. Maybe it's frying the motherboard.
What frequency were you guys running and was your phones randomly shutting down before it became unresponsive?
i think we guyz got the same problem :S its just turned off with a constant beep

I flashed a Jellybean touchwiz rom for Verizon GS3, and went to reboot and now nothing, zero zip nada. No charging led light, no way to get into recovery and no response.
Anything I can do?
what happens when you do vol up + home+power button?
Absolutely nothing. I tried to get back into the recovery to see if I could restore my backup and nope.
did you try leave it pluged in for 30mins ?
does it vibrate once when you try to turn it on?
No vibrating and no sign of life at all. Even when plugged into my computer, I was going to try the unbrick guide but it listed that I should be able to get into the recovery still.

leave it plugged in for a while to make sure its not drained battery
do you have a usb jig?
I don't have a USB jig but this is possibly good news. I removed the battery and SD card and plugged it into my computer and it tried to install drivers (failed but tried) and the led light comes on red.
if your gettin led now you more then likely need to let it charge
It doesn't give me the led with the battery in
Plug it into a wall charger for at least 30 or even better if you can get a battery from someone.

you know
I am surprised. That also happened to me the first time i flashed that very same rom (touchwiz) with twrp . I have done this so many times , i literarily can flash a rom on the way to work .
I was in shock , i still dont know how the heck can i flash a rom and brick .
I plugged mine into windows and i got the device manager driver error from hell . and my phone never came back up again
I stayed away form twrp and touchwiz and i still cant possibly comprehend how a simple rom flash can brick my phone .

So, in the future, md5 checksum absolutely everything since I'm assuming now that that is why this happened? (Since I made doubly sure I was flashing a rom for my phone).
If you still have the file you downloaded, you can check it. That would answer that question. If it checks out fine, then we have to look elsewhere for the problem.

Hello
I have an s-off htc sensation with cm10 and recovery etc its been running great for ages with this setup.
The phone completely ran out of battery and shut down. I left it on charge overnight and in the morning it would not switch on.
I have read a LOT of threads on here and elsewhere about this issue and have tried the fixes you guys have suggested for similer issues (usb charging, new battery, battery pulls)
I dont think that the usb debugging mode was enabled on my phone so i cant use the commands to restart it etc
When charging, the orange light blinks for about 5 seconds, then is on constantly until the phone boots all on its own to the htc logo screen, then goes black with no orange light. (it did this with the old dead battery and the new one)
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Such a great problem you have :crying: well, you can try re-flashing the ROM again. If it is not working maybe it is the ROM weakness. AOKP (your ROM series) is more unstable than AOSP ROM (like Android Revolution HD, ViperS, JB MIUI, and other).
The most possible reason for your problem is your ROM, so if re-flashing the rom does not help you, you can try flash a AOSP ROM. May the force be with you
When my advice helps you, try the THANKS button

Very strange that a new battery didn't fix this... same thing happened to me but mine died while charging some how and I didn't even have a charging light! However, in my case a brand new battery fixed my issue instantly. You can try a new rom if you can somehow flash it and see if it helps.. one question, was the other battery you tired new? Just curious? Hope you can get this issue resolved. If the battery you tired wasn't new in last effort if nothing else works, try a new battery. Like I said, it worked for me.. I wish I could be of more help. Best of luck and keep us informed. I've read of this happening when battery is ran out before and I wish I knew what causes this.. very strange. Good luck

Yup the battery was brand new off amazon....
Any ideas of how I can flash a rom without being able to boot into recovery?
Some one else might know this answer but have you tried, pulling battery, putting battery back in, immediately press power and volume down and hold it... recovery should pop up after that. Then go to wipe and wipe data factory reset, then install rom, or you can go to backup restore and restore your nandroid back up. Try to get into recovery this way. Hope it helps let me know. Best wishes. If you did try, couldn't hurt to try again keep hold of volume down and power and see if recovery will boot. If not you might be able to do it though computer but I can't help with that. Maybe someone else can help with fast boot commands on the computer. But it would hurt to try to pull battery again. And give it a go. Good luck

Thanks for helping but this isn't working either! If anyone knows how to boot into boot loader using a pc that would be very helpful.

When charging, the orange light blinks for about 5 seconds, then is on constantly until the phone boots all on its own to the htc logo screen, then goes black with no orange light.

i assume it stays on at least after booting
if yes then connect it to pc
go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files and open a command window there
then do
adb
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
see if it works

No the phone screen just goes black after the HTC screen and sometimes randomly flashes grey!? So the computer cannot detect it when connected by usb .
Really need to get to recovery it seems
This happened to me the other day, I have a charger that came with the battery off amazon and I gave it a full charge on that. After I put it in fully charged my phone was fine. I was nearly fully through flashing when this happened. I got back to bootloader and flashed 4ext recover and flashed my rom.
