[Q] What is wrong with my HTC Sensation? :( - HTC Sensation

Hello everyone,
First of all sorry if what am about posting had already been discussed, I just couldn't find it. My device has been behaving weirdly recently. It all started by it turning off randomly when I flashed the JellyBean 4.2 custom ROM by albinoman. And each time I turned it back on it showed a battery percentage that was either smaller or bigger than what was there before. I decided to move back to Revolution theme but the same issue persisted. Now, my phone can't go pass the Beats Audio logo when it turns on, but stops and goes off. If I try turning it on again it wount untill I remove the battery, wait like 15secs and put it back again. When I plug in the charger, the LED comes on, goes off and comes on again after 5secs or so...just assuming that. Please if anyone out there could help me out I'll be absolutely grateful , please...

My bootloader is unlocked but I can't get the exact details cuz my phone wount turn on anymore. The recovery is 4ext touch V1.0 and I'm pretty sure my firmware is "universal"

if you have universal firmware as you said then you are on S-OFF
follow this
format all partitoins except sdcard from 4ext
flash the rom
if it doesn't boot then flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img

Little issue is, its getting worse everyday. A couple of days ago I could still turn on the phone and get to the recovery but now it wount even turn on or charge anymore. Could it be my battery is dead?. Cuz it started behaving weirdly recently...like when the phone rebooted it showed a far different battery percentage either lower or upper. Then one day it showed grey with an exclamation sign on it. Then when I plugged in the charger, the LED turned on, then off and then on again and went straight to green, like it charged faster. Thanks for your help, I just hope my phone aint just good for the trash

Try with a new battery.

I like to think of it as a feature...
Lets say that u flash a ****ty zip, which messes the phone up.
Now ure stuck with bootloops.
U pull the battery out of the DHD, stick it in again and plug in the charger (without turning the phone on).
Now the phone boots into clockwork, and u can restore a previous backup.
Now ure phone is fixed....
me too..
when i turn my phone off, then plug on charge then my phone suddenly turn ON then my phone boot iin CW recovery...
ok patience charge the phone when on
I think that is one of the new ones in the newer HTC phones. Example such as HD7 : when you turn off your phone and plug the battery charger>>>your phone will automatically turn on

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.

any luck on this??? i jacked mine up trying to flash a new firmware and am stuck in the same boat with my sensation being completely unresponsive.
You could factory reset it:
From the manual:
If you can’t turn HTC Sensation 4G on or access settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on HTC Sensation 4G.
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button."

It was stated that he can't access the bootloader, which is what is required for the "FACTORY RESET"...
There are a number of people reporting this issue. I've even experienced the issue after the device powered down due to a drained battery. Luckily I have a stand alone charger. I put the battery on the charger for about 15 minutes, put it back in the device and it was able to boot, charge, connect usb etc...
I tried for 20 minutes to get any response from the device before trying the charger.
No charging LED isn't a good sign.
There seem to be more and more people reporting with this problem these last few weeks. IT happened with mine....it was not battery drained cuz it went dead when battery was 100% charged. I've been trying to get input as to whether this is related to ROM or firmware we're flashing....but no one seem to know.
Nothing will work...ADB...battery out...etc...I've sent my phone back to HTC...waiting to see what happens.
There are at least 3-4 different post with the same problem the past few weeks.

Well what i did was that i had a brand new sensation, i got it s-offed, rooted, cwm, superCID. all that done following the guide here on XDA. i wanted to have the new elegancia ICS rom which required the 3.32 firmware with the 4ext recovery. I got the 4ext flashed and then flashed the 3.32 firmware which caused a bootloop. then i panicked and tried to put it back to stock. not realizing that it was prolly bootlooping due the stock rom not being compatible with that firmware (not positive if that caused the bootloop. just a guess) it bricked after trying to put it back to stock. nothing responds. computer doesnt recognize it. new battery doesnt to anything. no charging led. looking back on what i did. I was still able to get into the 4ext recovery when it was bootlooping. If i flashed a compatible rom while it was doing that would it have fixed the issue. can anyone confirm if the bootloop was caused due the the stock TMOUSA rom not being compatible with 3.32? Tmobile is going to send me a brand new one. I'd like that rom but dont wanna repeat the same mistake lol
Thanks

Yep, it was because stock was incompatible with that fw, happened to me two weeks ago when I got my sensation and I started tinkering, I flashed opensensation and I was good to go

I installed 6.6.2 Revolution. It booted fine after I installed the ROM...so unlike some others, the installation seems to worked fine. I was able to run Titanium and restalled all the programs....but then when I talked on the phone....it became unresponsive and shutdown and never turned on again
Having similar problem.........only thing my phone just vibrates......the led is red for couple seconds when charger is connected

WEll..if your phone lights up or have some response.maybe you can still do something by connecting to computer. Mine was completely unresponsive...and can't be detected on computer!
Maybe it's an overclock issue? I've read on different threads that there may be a motherboard issue. The sensation is known for overheating. Maybe it's frying the motherboard.
What frequency were you guys running and was your phones randomly shutting down before it became unresponsive?
i think we guyz got the same problem :S its just turned off with a constant beep

Yes you should be fine, just make a backup of stock in case something goes wrong when you flash your first rom

[Q] Sensation wont boot or charge

Hello
I have an s-off htc sensation with cm10 and recovery etc its been running great for ages with this setup.
The phone completely ran out of battery and shut down. I left it on charge overnight and in the morning it would not switch on.
I have read a LOT of threads on here and elsewhere about this issue and have tried the fixes you guys have suggested for similer issues (usb charging, new battery, battery pulls)
I dont think that the usb debugging mode was enabled on my phone so i cant use the commands to restart it etc
When charging, the orange light blinks for about 5 seconds, then is on constantly until the phone boots all on its own to the htc logo screen, then goes black with no orange light. (it did this with the old dead battery and the new one)
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Such a great problem you have :crying: well, you can try re-flashing the ROM again. If it is not working maybe it is the ROM weakness. AOKP (your ROM series) is more unstable than AOSP ROM (like Android Revolution HD, ViperS, JB MIUI, and other).
The most possible reason for your problem is your ROM, so if re-flashing the rom does not help you, you can try flash a AOSP ROM. May the force be with you
When my advice helps you, try the THANKS button

Very strange that a new battery didn't fix this... same thing happened to me but mine died while charging some how and I didn't even have a charging light! However, in my case a brand new battery fixed my issue instantly. You can try a new rom if you can somehow flash it and see if it helps.. one question, was the other battery you tired new? Just curious? Hope you can get this issue resolved. If the battery you tired wasn't new in last effort if nothing else works, try a new battery. Like I said, it worked for me.. I wish I could be of more help. Best of luck and keep us informed. I've read of this happening when battery is ran out before and I wish I knew what causes this.. very strange. Good luck

Yup the battery was brand new off amazon....
Any ideas of how I can flash a rom without being able to boot into recovery?
Some one else might know this answer but have you tried, pulling battery, putting battery back in, immediately press power and volume down and hold it... recovery should pop up after that. Then go to wipe and wipe data factory reset, then install rom, or you can go to backup restore and restore your nandroid back up. Try to get into recovery this way. Hope it helps let me know. Best wishes. If you did try, couldn't hurt to try again keep hold of volume down and power and see if recovery will boot. If not you might be able to do it though computer but I can't help with that. Maybe someone else can help with fast boot commands on the computer. But it would hurt to try to pull battery again. And give it a go. Good luck

i assume it stays on at least after booting
if yes then connect it to pc
go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files and open a command window there
then do
adb
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
see if it works

No the phone screen just goes black after the HTC screen and sometimes randomly flashes grey!? So the computer cannot detect it when connected by usb .
Really need to get to recovery it seems
This happened to me the other day, I have a charger that came with the battery off amazon and I gave it a full charge on that. After I put it in fully charged my phone was fine. I was nearly fully through flashing when this happened. I got back to bootloader and flashed 4ext recover and flashed my rom.

Basically when power runs out or there is disconnection for any reason when flashing or in the process of booting up, you will have bootloader crash, which will lead to what you are experiencing, that's why its important to have a fully charged battery when flashing . you need to go here to locate the files needed to recover your phone. Mind you you may have to locate T mobile ROM's as your phone may be network locked.
or use ADB or a reboot tool to get your phone into download mode
your forum is here
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.​
What do i have to do form these things ?

you should post in that forum and read the link about flashing the ROM again to solve it or if you had a Backup, restore it. , unfortunately I have no experience concerning HTC phones.
