[Q] My Sensation does NOT turn on.

Hi guys,
I've just bought a sensation. I've started to use it while charging the battery. When I tried to make my first call, it turned off. Then it turns on, but turns off again. A few times it turned on and i could use it for a while, but then again it turns off. is it related to the battery or something else? should I try to below methods although it is brand new?

My first smart phone and it's discouraging :/
I will appreciate if you help.

Is it stock? Try running the RUU, but it sounds like you got the defective one :/

Problem with your ROM probably. Try to root your phone and flash a custom ROM

i dont know.
how i check?
i did not change phone. phone is like new.
thank you

I got htc kernal
I got what phone come with
I didnt change

sorry i write again.
i think maybe because my english you dont understand problem.
i use "google-translate" to write problem in hebrew:
"The problem is this: occasionally popping Security Update Notification - Important information device. I confirm the update, but unfortunately soon after the phone re-booted, and I get an error (probably), which is actually a triangle in which an exclamation mark next to a painting of "Adnroaid" blue (sad). If I take out the battery and put it back, the phone returns to normal, meaning that it works.
I just want to understand why I can not make updates? It is important to note that the phone exactly the same condition as he left the box (in terms of software and hardware), ie make no changes to the phone, and have never downloaded a software update, or an alternative operating system.
- Thanks so much for the help, and sorry for the unclear language."

Take your SD card out and remove any file named pmg58img using SD adapter and PC. It should then boot.
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using xda premium

I tryed:
no file pmg58img in sd card

At this point I would perform a factory reset and see if it works (of course you will lose data and have to set it again from the beginning).

I did factory reset :-(
same problem again happen :-(

Sorry but are you sure this is an untouched phone? with stock rom and everything?
is it a new or second hand device?
What is your sofware number?
maybe you can download and run an RUU.exe (Rom Upgrade Utility)
Because all this sounds so strange

Since the phone is new and untouch as you said... I think its a good idea to bring it back to where you bought it and ask them what's going on... You should still be able to change it if there is something wrong with it...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with Beats Audio

Download This RUU and run from pc while the telephone is USB plugged.
This should solve the problem because is an updated software of what you have.
What is strange is hebrew language of your phone because according to software number it should be an European one.
Hit thanks button if it helped

My phone is completey locked from too many trys on the slide unlock and i don't remember the gmail unlock it. I've tried to do the vol down to get into factory reset but for some reason it won't work as many times as ive tried it. So can someone please help me with a link so I can manually flash my phone from my pc thanks

One of the methods in this thread should work. Don't do the newest one from HTC website if you want to root.

[Q] I think I'm hard bricked. I'd love some help.

Tried installing a ROM, and being the noob that I am it was an International Rom. I used TeamWin. Can't post outside links because I'm new. The rom was IceColdJelly AOKP ROM from onexroot.com
I realize I was stupid. I just want out of this situation and I'll be really careful for now on. Is my HOX a lost cause? I bought it about 2 weeks ago (Really unlucky with the whole price drop...). And now, I've done this.
I get it, I've learned my lesson. XDA please help me out. How can I fix this brick? (If it is a brick? I'm assuming.)

Yes, it's a brick, but there is a fix if you have access to a Linux computer and know what you're doing.
beaups said:
when the device is bricked (qhusb mode), after pushing and holding power for ~10 seconds - in linux shortly thereafter all of the partitions will enumerate and expose themselves to linux for about 5 seconds (you'll see sdX1, sdX3, sdX8, about 30 partitions alltogether). During that quick 5 seconds you can DD whatever you feel like back to those partitions.
.
This is how I've recovered bricks. Corrupt hboot --> Brick device. DD back correct hboot while in this mode --> unbricked

Good point, if you were on stock 2.20 before, it's not bricked, you just need to get back into recovery and flash something else.

Can your computer see it? Was it fully charged before?
Try plugging into the charger for a while. The battery in this phone has a weird tendency to suddenly lose all its charge.

Computer cannot see it. Atleast constantly. My computer makes a noise like a drive was plugged in, then shortly after an error-like similar sound.
I'll try charging it for a few hours. Thanks!

That's not good. What does it look in explorer like when it shows up? Do you see QHSUSB anywhere?

The new hboots won't allow flashing of an incompatible Rom. Make sure you charge it for a while hold power button and volume down for a few seconds and see if capacitive buttons flash. If so, release power button but continue to hold volume down and see what happens

Let it charge for a few hours and try again.

Still no avail. Any other ideas?

I could really use some help. Anyone have an idea or a suggestion on what to do? I also don't suppose this is covered under my warranty

Okay, a couple of questions:
-Are you certain you were on 2.20? I ask because there have been cases of people buying One Xs recently and getting phones on 1.85.
-The phone is completely unresponsive despite being plugged into an outlet (not your computer) for a couple of hours?

Yes, I am certain. I remember checking it in the About Phone section of settings.
Completely unresponsive, but I'll keep trying.

Okay, one last thing. Open up Device Manager in Windows and expand the whole directory tree. Check "DVD/CD-ROM devices" in particular. Plug your phone in and see what happens.
If nothing happens at all, try leaving it plugged in overnight and see if anything is different. If it's still dead, it's bricked, whatever you did with it. Since it's new, you should be able to return it and get a new one.

Idk what to say if you were on 2.20 it should of failed the Rom flash...but it successfully flashed ?

Sometimes (randomly) my Sensation 4g just blacksout but hardware keys like home, menu, back are active and I can unlock the phone and if I have security code I can enter it. But it doesnt show any picture only. Its just black, but the touch is active. So if I can i can dial or write but dont see anything. It happens randomly and then after some time it randomly turns on normal and its ok So any ideas ?>

Its just I put the file in the SD root folder and boot into bootloader and it will scan automaticaly ? and what if it happens what other ppl say ? that there is no option to back and i have to pull out the battery. isnt this going to reset it ?
