Ok so today i was playing wind up knight (running CM9 beta 2) and my sensation got stuck so i tried to reboot by hold vol + and - and the power button...nothing happened, so went ahead and did a battery pull
when i tried to turn it back on, back light turn on but the screen dies but the phone vibrates as it always does when u press the power button to turn it on, then if i wait like 20 secs it vibrates the same way again (keep in mind the screen is off), the 20 secs later vibrates again, and so on
so im assuming im in a bootloop and screen is not turning off
so i decided to try going to hboot to try and see if adb recognizes the phone and it doesnt but i press the power button again to go to fastboot and the pc recognizes the phone, i tried fastboot devices and it indeed shows up my s/n (keep in mind screen doesnt turn on as well in hboot)
so ive been thinking my options at this point are:
*try using fastboot flashall, to flash new firmware and stuff however i dont know how to do that, ive just read that command can be done, but i havent found anyone using it on the sensation
*or i can also try an RUU, thinking about the telstra RUU since my sensation is a telstra one, however i dont know if ill lose s-off if i do this, also i dont know if i have to change my CID to the telstra one since im super CID
my fear about losing s-off is that if my screen doesnt turn on after running the RUU i wont be able to use fastboot commands anymore to try more options
so anyone have advice on what can i possibly do?
thanks
Can you reboot into recovery? If so why not just super wipe and flash a new from?

Since the phone doesn't support Braille, how would he? He is without screen!
From my point of view seems like hardware... Most probably the screen... Or the gpu try flashing an ruu with out turning to s-on and pull a logcat... It might just help

i just flashed the RUU and no dice still no screen seems like im not stuck in a bootloop anymore
still no ADB commands since ADB debugging is off lol only fastboot
is there a way to get the logcat via fastboot or without adb?
Take a look here... It might do the job. http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/12834/broken-screen-cant-adb

thanks for that link it dled screencast but it need adb to get to work :S
so i tried flashing a cwm via fastboot cause i read adb can be used while in recovery after flashing i rebooted into recovery and got some drivers to install but 2 of them the last one fail, device manager recognizes the phone as an HTC Modem in recovery and no ADB commands =/
also tried setprop persist.servece.adb.enable 1 but not sure where do i have to try it
also forgot to mention when the phone is off and i plug the usb the led lights up amber after a little bit it gets green (i assume its cause the battery is fully charged) if i press the power button the phone vibrates and the led goes off
Bump for HEEEEEELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
apparently i dont have a radio either, even after flashing the RUU
tried flashing one but i got the FAILED remote message
out of curiosity. Pull the battery and put it back in. Hold volume down and while still holding volume down button press and hold the power button. Are you getting to the HTC boot loader. If so then good. Now grab an ruu for your phone and see if it will run. Don't worry if the ruu tells you to boot the system on and click next to proceed. Flashing a ruu you will NOT lose s-off. If you can't see a screen to tell if you are in the boot loader still try to do the ruu. Let me know what happens and I will try to help you out further or not

just did, for the second time still nothing happens =/ the telstra RUU i booted to fastboot usb before flash so RUU would recognize the phone
what else can i do?
So ruu recognized the phone and finished flashing?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
yup, still no screen
Hmm not looking good. Have you tried removing the SD card and try to boot the phone without it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
yes, also without the sim card
I am afraid you will have to send to HTC for fixing or buy another sensation. Definately seems like a hardware issue that a ruu won't fix or anything currently available to us.

another option would be to purchase a USB jtag to go into phone via serial. Beyond my skill there but treve on evo3d forums may or may not be able to help or anyone else? Which leaves yoibto decide on a replacement phone. Treve's post is [wip] download mode serials etc etc in the development section. I would link it but I am on phone atm.

Are you in ics or still in gingerbread, I don't think tacoroot work on ics.
Turn off your phone by pulling out the battery. Plug in back the battery, cover & usb. Set the pc with the tacoroot uninstall command line. Turn on the phone and run the command line. Sometimes it need to run on right moment to work, try few of time or more. And hope you get a luck.
If does not work you may want to clear cache & dalvik cache if you have custom rom. If not I am afraid you have to reset to factory default.

Search about RUU's.
Read about them until you REALLY understand what you are doing.
An RUU will return your phone to compeltely bone stock. You can start over rooting from scratch.
Search in this forum and the general forum. Everything you need to know to try and RUU if around here somewhere.
It's not really bricked if you see a boot animation.
Do you have a custom recovery? Are you S-on or s-off?

A bricked phone is when the device doesn't respond to anything at all anymore. even when it's charged, or wallplugged, it won't switch on and the device is totally not responsive. Since your phone does switch on, you're not bricked. I don't think it's wisdom to attempt the unbrick project if you're not bricked.
What boot screen are you stuck on, the white HTC screen or the ROM boot animation/splash screen?
How are you attempting to enter bootloader, with fastboot commands or with power+volume down? If you're using the button combination, first unplug your battery.
I got an update notification on my HTC Senastion z170e, i downloaded and runned it...after the software update(android 4.0), the screen has totally become unresponsive and apart from the power button nothing else work. u cant turn it off unless u take out the battery, the silver unlock ring wont move.....i hve tried hard factory reset and still wldnt work.Need help ASAP. thnx
Hi, if it is software related, the only thing I can think about is to install a fresh software and see if the issue will be resolved. Choose the appropriate RUU and flash it through your pc. Please follow this guide to do that.
