15 APRIL 2012: ALL - PLEASE NOW REFER TO THIS THREAD HERE
Just found a new Clockwork-5.0.1.0 for our beloved Sensation(al) device
It works fine and didn't find any bug yet
The charging issue some of users had seems to be solved
In order for this to work, the HTC Sensation needs to be S-OFF.
How to Flash:
Flash via boatloader or push adb or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or using Rom Manager
Download:
01/09/2011: 5.0.1.0:HERE
Update 05/09/2011: 5.0.2.0: HERE
If you want to flash via Bootloader just put the following file PG58IMG.zip in your SD card : HERE
changelog: fix the fact that some users were loosing root access with 5.0.1.0
already a heavy thread going for this, but it SHOULD be in the dev thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242522
EDIT* good notes too, there are too many plp who dont know how to do this with either method
Alternative method is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

check out the thread i posted, lots of testing notes
the most significant is the backups/restores are WAYYYY quicker
...and its blue!
Charging issue is still there. Doesn't charge when switched off or battery goes empty. Not Recommended for users who go out of battery very often..
To check if your phone is charging, turn off ur phone, remove and reinsert your battery(to make sure ur phone is fully switched off), then open adb and type::
adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status
if it returns charging, it's fine for u, otherwise Think again..
I got discharging, so reverted back to 4.0.1.4(Modded for charging when switched off)..
Here's link for 4.0.1.4 for those who want to revert back http://goo.gl/4VlGV
it actually does charge when turned off, but not when in hboot/fastboot/recovery
i completely drained my battery, and it charged, but i had to let it fill for a min or so before i could turn it back on with enough juice to get back into OS
not recommended if kill your battery often
EDIT* the link i poseted has a bit of testing already done, it was just put in the general thread, not the dev one
Wouldn't the easiest way to flash it would be through ROM Manager? That's what I did
sent from Christ All Mighty II
you'd be surprised how many people prefer the manual way (im one of them )
im not a fan or rom manager, you dont really *learn* when you use it, and doesnt work all the time

Did u try adb command when phone was turned off?
It gives me "Discharging', when just turned off and connected to PC.
I was f****d when i had just s-offed my Sensation, and went out of battery. So I'm too skeptical about all this
yup, discharging everytime now, looks like it only worked after that initial restart after a battery pull...
oh well, im still keeping it, the backup/restore is much quicker, and i use it a lot
Discharging for me with adb commandBut LED is red :/

No bro it charging normally even if your phone is turned off. I tried it already cause i have a spare full charged battery. The problem is when you are on recovery aka no charge. Anyway i still find silly to try flash a rom when you are on low battery at all.

thats what im sayin!
even though it says discharging on powered off, it does charge, but u just gotta wait a min or 2 so it has enough juice to power back on...
its not as bad as the < 4.0.1.4 problems, but either way its a better ver of CWM

LED doesn't exactly give proper info. When i was using 4.0.1.4(initial that doesnt charge when switched off that came with revolutionary), i charged phone for whole night and LED was red, but in morning, phone's battery was still empty.
LED is liar lol..

U r right.
But does that mean ADB is liar?? Dunno if i should trust adb or not..
I dont care whether it charges when i m on recovery, but i just want to be sure that my phone charges when i run out of battery.

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.
The above example gives a bit more insight as to the situation

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.

Yes battery swap as I mentioned.
On a side note
Can anyone tell me why that is the only solution to the problem when the phone dies down like this
Thisy wife let's her phone die alllll the time and I constantly have to swap mine and her battery.
I flashed the JB ROM on my Tab 7 Plus. After the "succeess" of the flashing as said by Odin v1.85, I tried to turn on the device, but it didn't. I tried to access download mode or recovery mode but it didn't work either. I tried to hold the volume down button and connect the cable to the tablet. That opened the download mode but the screen was "flashing". The rate at which the screen "flashes" keeps increasing until it becomes very fast and the device turns off. I tried to flash a ROM, but Unfortunately it turns off fast that there will be no time for the flashing process to continue.
Any idea what should I do?
what model device do you have and what exact ROM did you flash? and which ROM did you have before flashing.
If you say I dont know to any of these.....

My Device is GT-P6200 and I got the GT-P6200 JB ROM for it.
______________
I left my device to charge all night. When I woke up I tried to see if the 'flashing' of the screen still occurs, but it didn't happen. I think I can flash a ROM now
I tried to flash the ROM again and it worked, luckily it was not a hard brick. Problem solved. It is weird that the flashing didn't succeed the previous time. Maybe the battery level was low (about 20%) when I flashed the ROM the previous time, can this be the problem?
yes, also a faulty or non-OEM cable would be the culprit.

yess. flashing(blinking) screen is how download mode tells you that your battery is low. probably less than 10% since it even turned off by itself.
This Happend To me and I got it BACK
Hello... I totally understand your frustration... This exact same thing happened to me after my battery went dead just after I installed JB...
well here is the kick and it's kind of tricky...
If you want you can call me and I can tell you the instructions, it's complicated but if you follow the steps it will work...
I can also take the time to write it down, but i'm bad a typing.
let me know if you are interested...
Sorry for the late reply. It was fixed after less than a day from starting this thread.

I have the cricket model. Sometime last night my phone started rebooting on every ROM and kernel. Nothing I do will get it to stop. It doesn't happen in TWRP and that's it. I thought maybe it was a battery issue as I haven't been able to fully charge it because of this issue but that's not helping either. I've been trying to use the upgrade tool but in this state the computer never even recognizes the phone and I can't even get that far, plus it reboots even when in download mode. I'm about to call cricket and see if they can just send me a new one since I've only had it a week but is there anything I can do? Does anyone have a boot IMG for complete stock 60450 ?!? EDIT: Got the tool to recognize phone and start process but what do ya know phone reboots even deep into download mode. It just always wants to restart to the system for some reason, except for when on twrp. UPDATE:EDIT: Turns out the reason the upgrade app wasn't working is because i didn't have enough space for the update to download on the PC . I didn't realize because the app never stated why it was restarting my phone or disconnecting so I just assumed it was related to why my phone kept restarting on all ROMs. Wow lol I feel so damn stupid for not thinking of this 2 days ago. Its installing now and hopefully this fixes my reboot issues. Thanks to everybody here for helping and answering my 1000 question's on every post. Really appreciate it.
it looks like motherboard is gone. I hope you can return it when you have custom rom installed.

I've had the phone for one week lol. Motherboard is gone? Could something be messed up in build prop somewhere? I did try to use a DPI changer app on stock rom once or maybe xposed? I've done a lot of flashing since I got it trying to find the perfect setup. I just noticed that the USB cable it came with is crap so now that I'm using a different one I'm hoping that low discalobrated battery was the issue. Charging it up proper and gonna see what happens after. Also for some strange reason the Flyme OS ROM is the only one that doesent seem to want to restart as often. It still does but it lasts a lot longer before doing so , why idk lol.
turn off the phone, charge it fully and then run the upgrade tool to go back to stock.

I wasnt previously able to corectly charge becauss when i would turn the phone off to charge it wpuld power up instead of gking to the charging acreen. I think the USB cable that came with the phone might have been faulty and I just didn't notice it somehow. Now that I've charged the phone to 50% Flyme is up and running without a reboot, although running quite hot....which could also be the issue. Maybe the metal on the USB tip got toasted. That would explain my reboots in download mode but it doesent explain why the phone never once rebooted on me while in twrp and why it would reboot even while not being charged and had like 30%. Gonna charge it up to 100 and try the tool again.

if you can boot to flyme, and got no reboots in TWRP i suggest you flash from TWRP your previously mad ebackup..if you dont have any, just flash stock kernel or look here in threads, there was a thread and it contains TWRP backup of stock rom..if you find TWRP backup of your STOCK 6045O then flash it from TWRP, and if you dont observe nay reboots, it was due to the kernel. IF it still reboots send it to warranty repair.

Well I'm back on CM now with no reboots. I guess my USB cable just sucked and my battery calibration was off so the battery was showing more than it actually had and probably causing instability. However, I still can't get the tool to work. It just reboots at around 22% exiting me out of download mode. BTW I've searched and scowled almost every thread and I can't find a stock kernel. There's the arde one but I thought that was just his custom kernel for stock. And the twrp back up I definitely can't find. I seen the thread but there was no link.

If it was the USB cable why is mobile upgrade tool rebooting the device at 22%? It makes no sense. It could be the pins on the usb socket on the phone or i dont know.
You should ask someone with the 6045O device to send you the boot.img (aka kernel) of stock 6045O.

Well I first noticed my cable was funky when I loaded up Flyme it kept making an unplug sound and I thought it was just the ROM glitching out but I changed the cable and it stopped. About the tool......I have a Windows tablet that it's only USB connection is one of those mini USB to full adapters and it's a little loose. I have zero problems with it plugging my phone into it for file transfer or for adb, it's all fine there so idk why it would be causing an issue with the tool, last time I tried it k specifically made sure all connections were sturdy and didn't move the whole time and it still rebooted. I noticed somebody in one of the threads said his device did the same thing though and that's why he couldn't use the tool as well......nobody ever replied to him lol
Ahh I spoke to soon. Restored my stock, because that's what I prefer for even at OC it still doesent make the phone nearly as hot as CM ROMs and the restarts came right back even with a decent charged battery. I'm back on CM again though and its not happening. Doesent make much sense because before the restarts were happening across all ROMs. It can't be the kernel in my stock restore as I had used it a bunch of times before with no issues...... Though it is saved on my external SD..... But so is the cm build I'm using. Idk whats going on here. Just wanna return the phone to full stock and call it a day lol. Edit: spoke to soon again lol. There goes CM rebooting, although it took way longer than stock to do so.
Hi all.
I have searched this forum (I know it's very frowned upon to start a thread without doing so) but the symptoms don't completely match my issue so I've resorted to asking.
I have a Nexus 5, which I was using as a hotspot, tethering to an Amazon fire stick, when it switched itself off.
It hasn't booted since, I've tried all possible button combinations for up to 2 minutes and still nothing.
If connected to a charger I get the white battery icon with the lightning bolt for a few seconds then blank screen, this will loop until unplugged.
When I have the battery icon on screen I can hold power button and it will display "Google" and vibrate as if starting to boot, then go blank again.
Have reinstalled original battery and the symptoms remain the same.
Am on marshmallow 6.0.1 totally stock am also out of warranty.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Try to boot in bootloader mode if it boots connect to it comp and then unlock the bootloader if not and install latest Twrp if not then flash a custom rom and boot it then flash factory images .. Done. Back to Stock!
Try booting in bootloader mod while connecting it do the charger. (Wall charger )

Thanks for the suggestion but can't get into bootloader mode, it's only alive for about 3-4 seconds if plugged in then it goes off and then back to the white battery.

Mother board problem or change try changing ur battery... Surely Mother Board problem! Coz while u were connected to a hotspot and then u switched off it.. The battery would suddenly undervolt ur motherboard... And Undervolting id Very Very bad even if u change it from software or hardware...This had happen to my Sis nexus 5. .. So given it a chance changing the battery! Coz that helped Me.. But also try booting in bootloader mod and flashing twrp it will save couple of Bucks and Time
Press the thanks button if this helps
I would replace the battery first. It seems like the battery was completely drained while hotspotting.
Are you using the original USB cable and charger that came with the phone?

If battery swap doesn't help is the motherboard easy to swap out? Providing I can find a replacement?
Motherboard is very easy to swap out.
Update, put original battery back in for the second time, first time didn't make a difference, possibly took longer this time. But all is good now.
Thanks to all
