Hi guys, I was letting my phone charge, and when I checked it a few hours later, it wouldn't turn on, the orange light is NOT blinking/on, and I haven't rooted the phone or installed any custom firmwares. I got the phone "New" on ebay, and I've been using it for like 2 months now. I searched around the web for a solution, and some people recommended removing the battery, putting the battery in and holding VOL DOWN and POWER at the same time, and for some reason, I got it into the white screen with colored words on it. I did a Factory reset, and it got me back to the HTC home screen but it went back to a bootloop and now wont turn on anymore (strange)
Anyways, now i can't even go back into the recovery mode. I haven't rooted/modded this phone since I got it, so it's kind of weird to see this happen. I'm assuming the previous owner might have messed around with it and screwed it up? What should I do at this point?
is it the phone still can turn on and go to bootloader..?
if so..maybe you can try flashing and replace it with a new RUU stock..
firstly you must know what cid and software version of your phone..to do that..you can follow this guide
if your phone still don't want turn on...you can try replace it with different battery..
hope this help..

Your phone is not brick, can you still boot into HBOOT? Volume down key and press hold power button.

"make sure" there is no way to boot on then just bring back to T-mobile to get a new one; Just say "I got no cure" "whatever they asked.

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.

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 don't know what went wrong..
My phone stuck at dialer after i made a phone call..therefore I pulled out the battery,put it back & try to turn it on..but nothing happened.
I tried to go into recovery (volume down+power) but it still wont turn on..
Also i tried to use ADB but my phone not detected..
The phone wont turn on,nothing on the screen,LED light not blinking (even when i connect to PC or wall charger)
Please let me know if you guys got any suggestion or even better if there is a solution..
please dont tell me that my phone is bricked

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

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

I am stuck here with a sensation using hboot 1.27.0000 and wasted the last few days looking for a solution s-off and unlock bootlaoder so i can get some "normal" ROM onto it. Currently the stock rom is on it which keeps crashing every few hours, i was hoping that a custom rom might help me, there is no warranty left anyway.
any help is appreciated

You have two options to choose from.
1.) Unlock bootloader through htcdev website. It doesn't give you full access your phone although you can still flash custom roms. See HERE for more information
2.) Gain full S-OFF and enjoy the freedom. See HERE how to do it.

You must be rooted to go for s-off.But u may find wire trick method difficult so u can still flash a custom rom with s-on and boot loader unlock .Follow this guide its easy and simple .

Just follow the s-off guide by Ganeshp I linked step by step as it is written there and you will be fine. The tool will temporary root your phone then will remove it when finished. When all is done, you can use the one-click-root-tool from the same guide to permanently root your device. Good luck!

Dont know it works but try it... !!
How to make a "jump start" the HTC phone.
1. Take out the phone cover.
2. Take out the battery, optionally Sim Card and Flash Card.
3. Plug your wall charger from the wall into the phone WITHOUT the battery in and cover.
4. Pop the battery back in and wait until the indicator light is orange.
5. Wait for about 5-10 minutes until your battery charged at least 2-3%
6. Pop the battery back in and close the cover. Optionally Sim Card and Flash Card.
7. Try to turn it on. This should start the phone.
8. So, once you started your phone. Plug your wall charger back into the phone.
9. Wait for until your battery became fully charged.
Nope, not working for me looks like i have really bricked the damn thing

My HTC Sensation is not turning on. I tried to remove the battery, and turn it back on, and nothing happens. Well, it will turn on, but it will not go past the HTC logo.

I did receive a message asking me today if i wanted to ugrade my phone? I thought was one of those regular updates. I clicked yes. I sat the phone down to do some chores, and when i returned to the phone later it was off. Tried to turn it on, it will not go pass the HTC Logo. It just stays there. I have not done anything at all after that.

so you are saying you are completely stock
there is not much that we can do in your situation
did you have a low battery percentage when you did the update?
try to remove battey,sim and sdcard
charge the device as it for 5-6 hours
then put them back and switch on the device
see if it boots
if it fails
then use a ruu
