Need help with HTC sensation, i think he's bricked?

K got this HTC from a friend of me, was working before, had it rooted and fixed with custom rom
It was S-on on v1.27
k now gonna try to explain what's going wrong:
When i shut down the phone, put battery out, back in, connect to usb, i get the phone recognized by ADB (my HTC phone)
when i type adb reboot-bootloader, device responds and boots into fastboot mode
when i use vul up i get Fastboot usb on screen
from this point i can't get any further, device doesnt respond from any button action except for vol up.
Device is not recongized in windows now (windows 8 64bit) got the famous error 43
So in ADB everything is fine, but in fastboot nothing is working/responding
when i pull battery out, then put it back in, i can succesfully boot with volup en power, then i get everything running (custom rom from before) but it says safe mode
Any ideas what i can do to get this thing back on it's feet?
regards,
Robin

In bootloader(fastboot mode) no buttons will works except vol up,down and power..
If you want to flash a custom rom then
First goto bootloader
Now enter to recovery by using vol down and then power button to ok.
Place a Rom.zip in sdcard format cache/dalvik , all partition except sd and then flash rom..

problem was that none of the button's where responsive, i found the cause of this, volume buttons are damaged (the strip inside was broken)
So now i have a new problem much wurse i think
only power button works, so i did a complete reinstall with ruu, booted up fine, but always in safe mode for some strange reason,
Now after shutdown, i can't get the phone on anymore, only goes to Hboot, and there is nothing responsive, non eof the buttons work, can't use vol buttons because they are broken.
Adb is not responding either, only getting HTC Android USB device in my device list....
I think the phone is ready for trash? :S

in bootloader adb doesn't work only fastboot
so when you are in hboot screen try this command
fastboot reboot (in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)

can't get into adb anymore so i think the phone is dead unless we repair the volume buttons right?

since you are dealing with a hardware problem then yes
but try this
boot normally(even on safe mode)
connect it to pc and type
adb reboot bootloader
it will take you directly into fastboot mode
then type fastboot reboot
see how it goes and check volume button from there(to confirm the hardware issue)
otherwise repeat the procedure but instead of fastboot reboot run the ruu.exe again

Damn, wont' even load fastboot!

OK I'm stumped.
I was sick of the OTA updates bugging me so I set about flashing to 4.4.2 on my XT1034. All went along fine till I got to the part where I had to flash system with sparsechunk. It kept giving me a permissions error. I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to try rebooting, clearly that was not the answer. Now my phone shows the unlocked boot loader screen for a few seconds and goes to a black screen. I can tell the screen is on, it's just that the screen itself is showing all black. My computer recognizes that something in there and installs the drivers for the ADB interface and USB composite, but not the MTP device. All commands to adb or fastboot just says waiting for device.
Anyone have any idea?
Edit: Not sure if it makes a difference, but I was on stock 4.3, trying to go to 4.4.2 or in firmware terms...
from Blur_Version.14.14.16.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US
to Blur_Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US

If your phone even does not start in fastboot mode then i would say you are pretty much fu***d.

Fastboot Cable?
I just had a thought. I have a fastboot cable from my Droid Razr XT912. I wonder if that might force it into fastboot mode?
I'll have to wait till I get home to try it but I'll update it I make any progress.

Hold power button until phone turns off. Turn phone on while holding volume down.

You have a fastboot cable :fingers-crossed::laugh:
Thats really great!
No my friend, your USB cable will not help you to access fastboot mode.
The first way to access Fastboot is to press Volume Down + Power when the phone is switched off.
The second way to access Fastboot is to boot the phone into Android and then
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
But as you have no operating system on your phone there is only option one for you.
So your fastboot cable will not help you. Try several times to get in fastboot with option one.

No luck. When I power it off it just power's itself back on a few seconds later whether I and holding the power button or not and regardless of if it's plugged in or not. I've tried the following combinations:
power off then hold volume down while it powers itself on
power off then power back on while holding volume down
hold power and volume down till it reboots
All have the same result, reboot, unlocked bootloader screen, blank, windows detects new hardware and tries to install drivers but fails on the MTP

So also if there is no cable connected it switches on itself?
Actually when it comes to the bootloader screen you missed already the fastboot entrance point.
Give it some more tries.

Correct. I'll keep trying :/
Edit: Sweet Jebus it worked! I'm back into fastboot
Thank you so very much!
Could be a coincidence but after taking off my case(otterbox defender) and trying again it worked. Maybe the membrane was causing me to press both volume buttons? Weird but I'll take it.

Glad to hear. Yeah i had also an Otterbox for my HHTC HD2 and i had also this problem.
Now you can go on to restore your Moto G

Manually power it off by pressing power for 12+ seconds
Then try to enter fastboot mode (Vol down + Power)
If your phone is S-ON you can't really brick it by flashing boot.img
Just try to enter the bootloader and tick fastboot.

This same thing happened to me. I left it plugged in for a while, then pressed and held power for about 15 seconds. Then I pressed and held volume down and then pressed power. It came back to the fastboot screen. Hopefully yours will as well.

tried not working any solution to turn it on into bootloader

[Q] HTC one m8 hardbricked can't access any thing

I bricked my htc one m8. Dont even know how, all i had was cyanogenmod 11 installed and it and my phone just boots into black screen after initial splash screen. I can get the charging indicator to show at low or full battery and i get vibration feedback when i hard reboot. I cant get into recovery or bootloader and my computer doesn't recognize it. What do!!

if your phone boots into a black screen its not hardbricked, hardbricked means it wont turn on at all and you have no indicators

Unplug your phone and hold volume up and power for 30
seconds. Do not have it plugged in while doing this.

You may need to uncheck usb debugging in developer options then reboot and go in and check usb debugging again then try adb tools using adb devices and see if it works then. Some m8's can be a real pain that way you just need to keep trying.

I would run the newest ruu that dottat has posted in the android development section for this phone, put it on your sd card using your computer, then put it back in your phone and boot to fastboot and let it pick it up and hit I believe it is yes and it will restore your phone. You are on 4.4.4 right ? If you are having problems getting to fastboot hold power and volume up until you see the lights change and or it vibrate then quickly switch to power and volume down and it should take you to fastboot, it may take you multiple tries to get it there. This sounds like the screen of death issues people have had on viperone which the fix for that so far has been to reverse the 4g handoff fix as most people that have the sod they had used the 4g handoff fix but if you cant get past the black screen then you cant do the fix for that. Have you tried leaving your phone sit for a while to see if it comes out of it ? Also most people only had that issue in weak signal areas so a good signal area could get your screen working again if you had done the 4g handoff fix. If you did some have said that the change can stick even through a ruu, but I cannot verify that either way.

Can I say I'm having an almost same problem.
I wiped my phone in prep of loading a new rom.
RUU the firmware for 4.4.4
Loaded twrp
and then it rebooted to the htc screen.
Now I can't get past that screen. I can hard reboot but it only comes back to that screen. and if I try to access it through the computer it can't load the driver so that I can sideload.
Help please

it's tricky to get it back to hboot... but you can with practice. Hold power a both volume buttons until you think it finally has rebooted. Switch to only holding vol down to enter hboot. Timing and practice makes perfect.

It took about an hour of trying. But I did it. Plus I had to do a few other things to get things remounted.

I will have to try this. What other things did you do?

Once I was back in recovery I reformatted before rebooting and then from recovery I installed the rom.

I agree with Dottat, faced the same issue when trying to flash ARHD 22.1 on my Verizon M8. I think I sprayed some **** in my pants with that loud fart .
After trying several times I got the trick and could get into Hboot. The issue I think was I was holding Power + Volume up & down for more than required time and it Rebooted. We need to Switch Off the device by Holding Power + Volume UP & Down button for about 8-10 secs and then just remove the finger from Volume UP button. It takes you to Hboot mode..

Screen turns off after entering PIN

Hello guys,
I just replaced screen on my 64GB OPO. Phone was fine before screen broke and I had a PIN lock on it. Now, when I turn on phone, I cannot do anything on my phone besides pulling down notification bar and swipe notifications. If I try to unlock by entering my PIN, screen turns off right after. If I enter wrong PIN, it will say Wrong PIN, but as soon as I enter right PIN, screen turns off.
I'm not sure why this is happening. I decided to boot into recovery and reflash the ROM. I hold Power + Vol Down, but phone starts booting normally, no recovery. Then, I try to go into Fastboot by Power + Vol UP, and phone boots normally, no fastboot. At this point, I cannot access recovery or fastboot. Then, I try ADB on laptop, I get "Unauthorized." I can't authorize ADB RSA dialog on my phone because as I said, when I enter my PIN to unlock my phone, screen turns off. Recovery, Fastboot, and ADB worked perfectly before replacing screen.
Anyone know how to fix this?. Thank you
TL;DR:
Replaced screen. Entering my PIN turns screen off immediately. No recovery, No fastboot, ADB gives "Unauthorized" Error.

You can use this,it does not uses fastboot and instead uses hardware debugging port.
Also using this on Xp system will make it easier to detect the device.

I looked at that tool before I made this thread and in 3rd step, it says to press Power + Vol Up? Doesn't that mean you have to be in fastboot? Anyway, I tried it in Windows 10 and it didn't do anything. My phone gets detected by my laptop and everything. I will try in Windows XP and see if anything changes.

No, power+vol+ is actually done to trigger the qualcomm port,if your device can't boot to fastboot,it means it's actually dead then your pc should be able to detect it as "Qhs_bulk" or "usb qcom diagnostics 9006".
Make sure you install the drivers given in the thread or Qualcomm 2012 drivers.Again this procedure doesn't work on fastboot/adb drivers!
You'll have to disable driver signature check on win8/10,Xp works without any issues.
