Sensation dead!

hy i was S ONNING when i must reboot my htc died . i cant turn on it , i cant charg it and i cant anter recovery, is my htc bricked or
pls help

Which method did you use to S-ON?

Umm its kinda hard to understand what your typing you need to type more properly, if english is not your language then please refer to GOOGLE translate, and translate your native language to english
but i will take a try to understand
you where S-OFF and you wanted to go back to S-ON, and when your phone needed to reboot, it rebooted but never turn back on?
and now it wont power on, or show a charge light
and there is no way for you to get into Bootloader or recovery?

yes thats right

i have the same ;(

Take out battery, wait 10sec, reinsert.
Hold vol down and press power on - do you reach boot loader?

I'm pretty sure your phone is bricked. I'm assuming you didn't S-ON properly. I'm not 100% sure but I believe the procedure is that you have to go completely back to stock before doing the S-ON. Many users screw something up here and brick it. You're pretty much out of luck. However, I think dexter's thread has a POSSIBLE fix, haven't looked at that myself. You can look around on the forums there for help, but yes your sensation is currently dead

Need help/advice

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
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App

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
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App

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
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App

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.

My phone is Bricked? Help

Guys - I need help. I think i just blew my phone.
I flashed THE Sense-O-Maniac ICE ROM after a clean wife and my phone wouldn't boot. It kept getting stock on the Beats Logo. So I rewiped everything and reflashed this ROM. - Same result.
I then thought, maybe I should also update the firmware, though I am pretty sure, that my firmware was up to date.
So i reflashed the firmware on phone but it still wouldnt boot.
I took the memory card out and deleted the the firmware file so that I could not flash another rom. But when I tried to boot in Recovery my screen just went blank.
JUST BLANK
When I switch my phone on, I get a blank screen. The screen does light up though, but nothing shows.
If i connect the phone to USB, then the screen again lights up, even without the batter.
Has my phone gone poof??? Please help.

clean wife.
and why do u keep reflashing sense o maniac? why not try other rom?

Did you update your kernel or tried to use backup or install just old ROM, so far it doesn't sound bricked but just something missing, what was your previous ROM?

try "adb reboot recovery" continuously when booting the phone, ignoring all of the "error: device not found"

Boot while holding the volume down key (meaning power btn+ vol-). that should take you to the boot loader. once you're there, go to fastboot and flash a recovery image. you seem to have corrupted yours.

I had the same troubles with that rom.

I have already tried this continuously. No result with pressing boot with holding the volume key at all!! If I could do that, I knew i would be fine.

i have been trying to do this for the past 10 mins, but I cant get anything.
All i keep getting is error:device not found.
The computer too does not give any indication of any device being connected to the Usb port..

You should boot into bootloader (vol- & power) then flash a stock gb ruu. After this you can proceed to s-off, root, firmware ... Etc

[Q] Stuck in boot loop and bootloader is also in boot loop!????

Ok so about a month ago i bought an htc one mini m4 from att and since i think im pretty well trained on installing custom roms and such i thought i would do this to my htc. Well i did everything like normal flashed twrp and booted into it made a back up and so on and rebooted fine. so the next day i was gonna flash a rom for it i dont remember which one it was. But when i woke up my phone was off so i plugged it in and thats when this started im in a boot loop as far as the splash screen htc logo but when i try to go into fastboot mode about a second or 2 into hboot it boot loops and keeps doing it over and over and over again. I been looking for a way to fix it but i dont see nothing like this and this is a first time for me as far as the bootloader boot loop goes... Does anyone have any knowledge of how to fix this??? i would appreciate any help!!!!!
oh and my hboot is tampered relocked and s on
hboot is 2.22 and os is 3.10
i dont remember locking it back i might have but idk!!!
and i have no factory reset or recovery now to!!!! smh :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Just to confirm, it is rebooting even when you are at the hboot screen?

Do you know anything about this???

I had a boot loop while attempting to install IC 3.0.3 but the hboot screen let me choose the options and stayed there for as long a I wanted.
When you plug it into your PC or laptop can you hear the USB recognised chime for any time?
