Hi,
Was using my HTC Sensation the other day, all was working fine I was sending a text message when the phone suddenly went of. I tried to turn it back on but nothing happened, took the battery out and put it back in, tried again and nothing. Couldn't get into bootloader either. Thought it might be the battery so bought a new one but it doesn't work with that one either! When I plug it into my PC Windows sees it as QHSUSB_DLOAD but adb can't see it. Is this a hardware failure? Can it be fixed? So frustrating because if I send it back to HTC they'll see that it's rooted and they won't be happy >.<
If anyone can shed any light on what I should do that'd be great
Thanks in anticipation

Thanks for your reply, I've looked into this and it seems this only applies to devices bricked when trying to S-ON or when flashing hboot, mine just died when I was using it. I've contacted HTC and they are going to repair it for me - fingers crossed they don't notice it's rooted!
You we're only sending a text message and the phone bricked? That's so strange? Keep us posted and let us know how it goes with HTC repair. Did you install anything before you started the text message? Any mod, or anything? I wonder how it suddenly bricked? Or I wonder if it's a sort of hardware failure? I wish you the best and do hope they repair the device without any problems. Let us know how it goes. Best wishes

I was running JBMIUI with Sultan kernel. I was getting wifi problems with the latest build of that kernel so was in correspondence with the developer and was trying an older version of it which was a bit dodgy, maybe it killed a component I dunno! I have read into this QHUSB_DLOAD issue and from what I've heard the device is so bricked that they wont be able to tell it was rooted. Thanks, I really hope so too! Will keep you posted,

I don't see how that could've killed a component . Right now your Sensation is in download mode (all kernels, including mine, put the phone into download mode upon kernel panic). Maybe when your battery died a lot of bad luck happened because when a kernel panic happens the phone should've rebooted after 5 seconds (that's the default timeout for my kernel). Also, all previous and current versions of my kernels are stable and shouldn't cause components to randomly die. Have you looked at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db5f3If-2Jw?

Sorry I didn't mean to cause offence by saying it was dodgy - the only thing that made me say that was the bug that meant that sometimes on r5 the CPU1 would not switch on and you had to reflash the kernel. Damnit, I probably should have had a go at the HTC Unbricking Project before I sent it off to HTC, This I do regret but I sort of panicked and thought the best option was to send it to HTC and hope they fix it. If they spot that it's been rooted they either charge you for the repair or send it back to you and charge £25 in courier costs. If they find it's rooted should I just pay them to fix it or do you think I have a good chance being able to fix it myself with the HTC Unbricking Project? The only reason I didn't embark upon the HTC Unbricking Project was that it explicitly said in the OP that it ONLY worked for devices bricked by switching s-on or flashing hboot, neither of which I was doing when my phone died. With hindsight though I probably should have still given it a try :/
You should do try try the unbrick project as I said earlier before paying HTC as u can pay them even after trying the project.

If there's a chance then you should always take it. If it didn't work then you probably could've bricked it more (maybe pull out the cable while the unbricker was doing something important) to make sure that HTC would never be able to find out that it's rooted. Also, that CPU1 bug only happened when you tried changing CPU governors from the default governor, performance (it happened because the default CPU governor was performance). To fix that you only had to reboot, not reflash the kernel . Good luck

Hehe I think I'm more of a noob than I realise also I don't think it was just the kernel that went into panic mode - I freaked out and just wanted to have my phone back! I'm missing it so much haha let's just hope HTC fix it for free!

Have they changed motherboard in your device a while ago? Cause they have for me and since that last repair I have these problems.

This is the first time I've sent it to repair. I would try using the HTC Unbrick Project (see previous posts) and if that doesn't work I'd say you're pretty safe to send it to HTC. I would guess there's a been a hardware failure - especially if the device was having to work hard running a game. In which case they won't find out it's been rooted so you shouldn't have to pay.

This is weird that you can get the screen to come on but not get anywhere - on mine it was completely dead - the power button did nothing, pressing power on and vol down did nothing either. What happens when you try to charge it? I couldn't even get a orange charging light. Again this sounds like a faulty component, but I'm no expert on this.
As for trying to fix it yourself I don't think either of you have much chance - if it's still in warranty (mine had 2 years warranty, not sure if that is a UK thing only but considering this phone was only released May 2011 everyone's should still be in warranty) I'd say send it back to HTC. But try the HTC Unbricking project just for peace of mind so you know you can't fix it - I'd say that's your only chance
yeah..its really wierd.at first i could at least go into the bootloader (but not into recovery)...now its just turning on.
i see that the black screen gets a bit brighter (so screen seems on) but it only shows a black screen.
Looks like i need to use my warranty. Hope it isnt a problem that i rooted, but its maybe better that they dont know that :/
Cant afford repair or a new phone. Sucks to be a broke student
I tried HTC Unbricking Project. It couldn't detect my device I had 1-2 crashes per day since last repair, I guess htc did something wrong while replacing the motherboard.
First time I sent them because I had similar problem and now the same happened. Anyways I'm waiting for postman and gonna wait 3-4 weeks again to repair this phone...
Hope they will find damaged component.

Take out the battery and let the phone sit without its battery for 1 night. When you wake up, try and see if it works.

Hi all,
As the title says :'( I flashed the new Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 ROM (updated from 3.6.0) and the recommended radio yesterday. Everything went fine and the phone was smooth as ever.
However, while I was playing robo defence today (played for about 5 mins) the phone suddenly shut down, rebooted itself to the startup screen (HTC Logo on a white screen) then when to a black screen and then repeated the process. This happened about 5 times after which I pulled the battery and then tried to restart the phone.
Now the phone won't power on at all!
- Nothing happens when I press the power button.
- Tried vol + power: nothing.
- Took the battery out, waited 20min, tried the above again: nothing
- Plugged it into my pc: nothing i.e. no LED light either
- Plugged it into a wall charger: nothing i.e. no LED light either
What I don't understand is how come my phone has died when I was not in the middle of flashing anything? Has my phone actually bricked itself?
any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks
Is there anything I can do via adb? (I don't know how to use it that well)
Keep trying to boot into vol+down and power
Leave phone on charger and try the button combo that happened with my mytouch when I had one and that worked.

Remove SD card, boot in recovery, clear cache / dalvik.
If you can boot of cource.

No I can't boot at all. Tried booting without the SD card and no luck.
Is it even possible from for a phone to brick itself? Because after I flashed the ROM everything worked fine. It was only when I was playing a game that it died.
Could it be a battery problem? It would explain why no charging light is showing up
charge it via the original charger, hold on for a little while and try booting it up
i've seen it happen to mine once, i panicked just like you.
Before I s-off'ed or rooted I had this happen to my phone. It took a battery pull and then a long hold of the power button to get it to boot. I freaked thinking it was a dud (I had just gotten the phone).
If nothing works, it may be a hardware failure that had nothing to do with rooting. I would go for a warranty exchange. If YOU cannot get it to boot, neither will they without re-flashing the phone the hardcore way. (I believe its called a JTAG?). They will never know you rooted. They will just try a quick boot, see it doesnt, and then open it up to re-flash the thing via factory methods.

Would have to say its prob an fault with the handset as i am running the same setup as you and also playing robo defence and i play it for about 45 mins at a time with no issues at all .

LOL...robo defence love! Thinking about it...it could be a handset issue. When I use the play robo defence on ARHD 3.6.0 ROM the phone would always die or go into a boot loop. But now its just dead.

Just to update you guys:
I tried everything that has been suggested on this thread and had no luck.
I've sent off my phone to HTC today to hopefully get it fixed. we'll see how it turns out. They said it should be done and on the way back in 7 days. Will post if I get new info or updates
Installing the same Rom I had the same issue. New phone is on the way so I thought what harm could it do now. I tried everything u did. What worked was pulling battery out plug the wall charger in and then hold the power and vol down button then slip in battery and it went into recovery . I tried a reg reboot and nothing. So I pulled sd card out and put into another phone then downloaded another Rom. Put sd card back in shot phone and got back into recovery and flashed a diff Rom and it worked. The phone over heating is bad tho so will leave it be till New phone comes in.
I've had the no boot problem after messing with my partition tables, took it to my carrier, and they fixed it. Hopefully, your phone is so messed up that they can't read that it's been rooted (or hope that they don't care)
Did you install any Kernels with GPU Overclocking for example? Or was it only the normal ROM?
What recovery are you using?

No I didn't. Just stock ROM and the standard kernel that came with it. No overclocking either. I mentioned this before - i use to have boot loops every time i played robo defence - even with ARHD 3.5.x. so I reckon it was a hardware issue that eventually kicked the bucket when I moved to 3.6

Hi guys,
Just to update everyone: I got my phone back yesterday and it's working again!!
Although it has been returned to stock again. According to the letter that came with my phone I think I've got a new main board. This is what it says:
Parts Replaced: PCBA-Main Board with SKU_ID, HTC Global, QSD8260 UMT
Anyone know what it means for sure?
I guess there is hope if a phone bricks itself entirely! and HTC didn't even bother asking any questions i.e. if I rooted my phone or anything. All they asked me was did I try to charge the phone via the main charger, did I take the battery out etc.
Good for you dude. I'm happy it worked out fine for you! And thanks for the update, good to know how they handle things over there.

Hello people
I have a problem with my sensation,first off i havent rooted or unlocked or flashed anything on this phone it is as i got it,i went to look at the time last night on it and was met by this rather colorful pixelated snow screen instead of my phone desktop screen.
I have turned it off and on and the same screen comes up,i have taken the battery out and the sim and memory card and tried replacing the battery without the sim/memcard and the same thing happens.
I have tried factory resettiing by holding the volume nutton down and holding the power button but it does not go into the bootloader menu screen, it does nothing until i let go of the power button and then it just goes back to the snowy screen of evil!!
Any ideas or soloutions PLEASE!
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP
(The phone is not detected by htc sync either

Had it for about 5 months,the problem is i replaced my glass digitizer because it got smashed,so im pretty sure my warrantys void
Thanks for the reply
some life!
Ok i have an update.
The phone is now booting up but still with the snowy effect,this happened after just randomly swiping the screen and the incorrect lock code entered screen suddenly appeared!
After random screens from the carousel appeared and froze and then unfroze i managed to factory reset the phone,this has made no difference to the snowy screen that comes back at random although more so when the screen times out.
The fact that everything is still going on behind the snow would indicate a hardware malfunction yes?
Could this be down to the digitizer that i put on the phone which i have had the usual unresponsiveness issues with as talked about so much on here.
I was thinking about taking the phone apart agin and rechecking all the cables etc are connected properly then making sure all the contacts are correctly connecting and seal it properly this time as i got quite a build up o dust between the digitizer and lcd on my first attempt.
Do you guys think this is the next logical step or have any better ideas?
here is a pic of the snow:

Well your problem seems to be the screen or the gpu. If you are lucky they won't even notice the digitizer. Just demand a new one and dont accept it to be repaired. ...

Of course your warranty will be voided if you changed it yourself

I have the same problem
I have the same problem, my phone won't boot up and it just has a colored snowy screen. It happened when my nephew was playing a game on it then the phone just froze. I tried turning it off and it wouldn't so I took out the battery and booted it up without being able to see the logo or anything it just boots up straight to this pixelated snow screen. Is this an lcd problem or a gpu problem? I found an lcd replacement that I considered buying but then i thought it could be something else.
I have not rooted or flashed my phone nor did i damage it in anyway physically. So could this be a software problem maybe?
I tried flashing a new rom, but wouldn't I need to turn on USB debugging in the options menu? I can't access the options menu because I can't see behind the snow. Any help will be appreciated!
P.S. I will post a video later today of the problem.

Some developments in my situation. I used Airdroid to connect my htc to the computer (like a blind man navigating). On the computer I could see the normal screen as if nothing happened. After a few flips of the screen, all of a sudden my HTC screen went back on.
When I got the snowy screen the mobile was working with GPS and navigation...maybe it's a Rom problem. Going to Flash it again and report if it doesn't solve it.
Flashing new Rom worked for me.
Before Flashing the Rom I tried to disconnect all the screen connector's and reconnecting them back (very carefully!) but it didn't help.
Same issue here:

boot to the bootloader and select from there reboot
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.

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 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,
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.
Hi, i didn't want to started new thread but after spending 2 hours of searching i gave up Something weird happened with my device. When i press power button i can see Sense unlock screen, i can see that i have network signal even wifi connection. I can even plug device to pc and there is a connection. But when i try to unlock device there is no response, no vibration nothing at all. Does any of Ya had the same problem. I'm on a stock HTC Rom with official ICS update so nothing special (my device is still on warranty )
Can you give it a battery pull, wait about 20 seconds and pop it back in and see if it starts up?
because your STOCK and still under ware tee I would bring this to the attention of your provider or who ever handles the warentee issues for your device. Perhaps they can offer a fix OR replace the device through warentee. I'm pretty sure you won't have any problems going through warentee. You have not altered your device in anyway so you will be good. I would contact them asap and see what they have to say. I wish you the best and hope you get this resolved soon. Let us know what they say. Likely you will get a new device . Good luck!

I live in Norway so as You know Scandinavian countries recieved ICS update as first. I was running my device without any problems since then, nothing at all and then yesterday evening this **** happened Yeah but i can try fixes or tommorow i will get Nexus Damn i hope those guys at the store aint gonna make any problems (i spared money for 6 months to buy this phone and now that :/ )
Finaly today i got my phone back. They just flashed new Rom into it. You can imagine how happy i was (let the customize begin ) When i came back home the first thing i've done was installation of ADW Launcher Ex then suddenly i see that my volume button is missing (FUUCKK) I've found it on the carpet. So i've tought that i'll read about it in the internet. Everyone was complaining about HTC's Customer Service. But i've filled the form, attached two photos and after five minutes THEY called me. The guy was verry nice and only because my device is six months old i don't have to pay for the cover BUT suddenly right after we end talking a LAG came back. SOME FUUCKKINNGG DISASTER !!! So my friend have called me and i was able to answer the phone. I think it's because of ADW Launcher because right after i've unnistaled it everything works fine. Such a shame, i really like this launcher. Can You guys give me some tips about launcher similar to ADW. Cheers
Just take the plunge and root the phone and stick a rom on there.

Ok, so I had recently flashed MIUI sense based, I realized it wasn't for me so I restored my backup of TrickDroid 6.1. After doing this I went through and decided to delete some some stuff because my space was getting low (not 5mb low, more like maybe 1/2gb), I went to delete the MIUI v4 2.7.6 file and the phone appeared to go into standby... I tried to wake it up again with no luck. Plugging it into a charger does nothing, no red light; no green light. I'm unable to get into bootloader mode, no matter how long I hold down the "down volume + power" combo or any variation of it.
I need one of the gurus to help please !!!!
maybe post this in general or q&a?
any adb connection? if it's in standby then you may be able to move along to the next step
could just be a SOD (sleep of death)

Did u try hold the power? It'll reboot?then hold volume down about 10s.it should go to bootloader
2nd Option: use all-in-one tool kit.it has a command to reboot.
And don't post question or help here.read the rule.

Sorry about posting in this section, I assumed I'd get a quicker response.
I tried the All-In-One Kit thing... doesn't work "error: device not found"
I cannot get the phone to power on at all, no bootloader, no splash screen, nothing recognized by my pc. I get a "QHUSB_DLOAD NO DRIVER FOUND"
Thoughts?

If it can't boot or use adb command.i think u should contact with HTC for helps,or at least where u buy the mobile. And of couse u still have Warranty.
It may be a hardware problem.We here can only try if it is a software problem.at ur position,the device can't be recognized by Computer/Laptop (before this,it worked well right?),then i think bad luck.
Don't be despair, it'll have some way to solve.

Sorry to tell you man the same thing just happened to me. I just got a replacement from T-Mobile. You will not get that thing back on. Just call T-Mobile and tell them it won't power on nor will it charge. It's funny because I was adding music to mine when it happened. If it happened the same way mine did then you will notice it was really hot when it shut off. The MDJ kernel overheated the Processor and killed it. Once that happens the device is a useless brick. I'm trading my replacement for another phone because this phone happens to overheat a lot.

Thanks everyone for the help... At least I know what I have going on... Already started re-downloading a buttload of stuff to get back on track. I don't normally backup my Nandroids or my TB files to my PC, maybe I should start.
Going tomorrow to the Tmo store to get the replacement sent overnight.
Thanks again.
