[Q] Z710E Not booting after shutdown - HTC Sensation

Hey Guys,
I'd like to request some help regarding to my cellphone.
The cellphone is A 2 year old Htc sensation.
Did always do his job fine, never any problems, always had a spare battery so I could change battery's when the first one was dead.
The phone is Rooted, custom rom with ViperS 5.1.0. S-off.
So I was playing a game, and, a well known problem is that the sensation shuts down at whatever 5% sometimes, so that happened, the phone shut down.
I then put it on the charger, the light went on for a couple of seconds, and went out.
Since then I didn't see any sign of life on my sensation again.
I tried booting it with the spare battery, fully charged in a external charger.
I tried letting it charge overnight, maybe it would work again.
I tried putting it in to the bootloader.
I tried connecting to the pc, but that one doesn't recognize anything aswell.
Since it's +2 years old, I don't have any warranty anymore.
Does anybody know a solution or something? Or did anyone else experience this as well?
Or is the phone completely dead?
I'd like to hear from you guys!
- Cheers

Try doing the wire trick you do to s-off the phone, it helped me boot mine. Make sure you do it while it's connected via USB.

Hi!
Thanks for the answer.
It doesn't work for me I guess.
What did you do exactly, can you describe it?
Do I have to run the juponutbeer aswell?
Hope to hear from you & others

I removed the battery, connected USB, reinserted it, jammed the wire in there a couple of times until it came back to life. Took quite a few tries but that may be my shoddy wire rather then the method. No need for the juopunotbeer software to run.

You had an SD card in it aswell i assume?
But did your PC recognize the phone when you connected it?
Mine does nothing, tried a few times now
EDIT: He just did: Searching for Drivers.
Drivers not installed
But I disconnected it again, maybe if it will connect again I can do something else?

That means it's probably in QHUSB mode. You can retry the wire trick a couple more times to see if it comes out, if it doesn't, there's a unbricking tool in the development forum here somewhere to get it out of there.

Hi!
It makes that windows sound when you connect a USB drive or something else, but it doesn't show up in the Device Manager from windows.
Will the brick thing still work, even if it doesn't show up in windows device manager?
I saw some movies on youtube where you saw: QHUSB_DOWNLOAD unknown device or something, but that doesn't show for me...
Hope to hear from you or someone else

Allright, we Continue.
I have it in QHSUSB_DLOAD now @ windows, after trying the wire trick a couple of times.
I tried it at linux aswell, but how am I able to recognize when it connects?
Windows makes a sound, but ubuntu??
How to hear some solutions from what to do now, and how to get it connected in ubuntu

[Q] HELP!!: My Phone Bricked Itself!!

Hi all,
As the title says :'( I flashed the new Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 ROM (updated from 3.6.0) and the recommended radio yesterday. Everything went fine and the phone was smooth as ever.
However, while I was playing robo defence today (played for about 5 mins) the phone suddenly shut down, rebooted itself to the startup screen (HTC Logo on a white screen) then when to a black screen and then repeated the process. This happened about 5 times after which I pulled the battery and then tried to restart the phone.
Now the phone won't power on at all!
- Nothing happens when I press the power button.
- Tried vol + power: nothing.
- Took the battery out, waited 20min, tried the above again: nothing
- Plugged it into my pc: nothing i.e. no LED light either
- Plugged it into a wall charger: nothing i.e. no LED light either
What I don't understand is how come my phone has died when I was not in the middle of flashing anything? Has my phone actually bricked itself?
any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks
Is there anything I can do via adb? (I don't know how to use it that well)
Keep trying to boot into vol+down and power
Leave phone on charger and try the button combo that happened with my mytouch when I had one and that worked.

Remove SD card, boot in recovery, clear cache / dalvik.
If you can boot of cource.

No I can't boot at all. Tried booting without the SD card and no luck.
Is it even possible from for a phone to brick itself? Because after I flashed the ROM everything worked fine. It was only when I was playing a game that it died.
Could it be a battery problem? It would explain why no charging light is showing up
charge it via the original charger, hold on for a little while and try booting it up
i've seen it happen to mine once, i panicked just like you.
Before I s-off'ed or rooted I had this happen to my phone. It took a battery pull and then a long hold of the power button to get it to boot. I freaked thinking it was a dud (I had just gotten the phone).
If nothing works, it may be a hardware failure that had nothing to do with rooting. I would go for a warranty exchange. If YOU cannot get it to boot, neither will they without re-flashing the phone the hardcore way. (I believe its called a JTAG?). They will never know you rooted. They will just try a quick boot, see it doesnt, and then open it up to re-flash the thing via factory methods.

Would have to say its prob an fault with the handset as i am running the same setup as you and also playing robo defence and i play it for about 45 mins at a time with no issues at all .

LOL...robo defence love! Thinking about it...it could be a handset issue. When I use the play robo defence on ARHD 3.6.0 ROM the phone would always die or go into a boot loop. But now its just dead.
Any news?

Just to update you guys:
I tried everything that has been suggested on this thread and had no luck.
I've sent off my phone to HTC today to hopefully get it fixed. we'll see how it turns out. They said it should be done and on the way back in 7 days. Will post if I get new info or updates
Installing the same Rom I had the same issue. New phone is on the way so I thought what harm could it do now. I tried everything u did. What worked was pulling battery out plug the wall charger in and then hold the power and vol down button then slip in battery and it went into recovery . I tried a reg reboot and nothing. So I pulled sd card out and put into another phone then downloaded another Rom. Put sd card back in shot phone and got back into recovery and flashed a diff Rom and it worked. The phone over heating is bad tho so will leave it be till New phone comes in.
I've had the no boot problem after messing with my partition tables, took it to my carrier, and they fixed it. Hopefully, your phone is so messed up that they can't read that it's been rooted (or hope that they don't care)
Did you install any Kernels with GPU Overclocking for example? Or was it only the normal ROM?
What recovery are you using?

No I didn't. Just stock ROM and the standard kernel that came with it. No overclocking either. I mentioned this before - i use to have boot loops every time i played robo defence - even with ARHD 3.5.x. so I reckon it was a hardware issue that eventually kicked the bucket when I moved to 3.6

My Phone Lives!
Hi guys,
Just to update everyone: I got my phone back yesterday and it's working again!!
Although it has been returned to stock again. According to the letter that came with my phone I think I've got a new main board. This is what it says:
Parts Replaced: PCBA-Main Board with SKU_ID, HTC Global, QSD8260 UMT
Anyone know what it means for sure?
I guess there is hope if a phone bricks itself entirely! and HTC didn't even bother asking any questions i.e. if I rooted my phone or anything. All they asked me was did I try to charge the phone via the main charger, did I take the battery out etc.
Good for you dude. I'm happy it worked out fine for you! And thanks for the update, good to know how they handle things over there.

[Q] USB not connecting to PC

After unrooting my phone to take to Verizon for some repairs, I can't connect my phone to a computer. I haven't connected my phone to a computer since I rooted back in March. And you don't need to connect to unroot.
I read somewhere that upgrading the radio will fix it but I'm not rooted so I can't. All I want to do is root again and I cannot. My mac doesn't see with osx or bootcamp, it and neither does my Windows 7 desktop. It's not that it's unrecognized, my computers just can't find it.
Is there some fix that I'm just not finding? Or is my USB port fried? I've tried another cable as well.
I can still charge so idk. I'm at a loss.
I had something similar happen to me the other day. I upgraded the hard drive on my netbook & then did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64. upon getting it up & running, I plugged in my phone and it just said "USB device not recognized".
Seeing as how I ocassionally do wired tethering with PDAnet, I loaded PDAnet on to the netbook & then it specified to disconnect my phone & asked what manufacturer phone I have. I selected "HTC", it installed HTC drivers, then asked me to plugmy phone back in(with USB debugging on), then it said it was installing my phone and everything went smooth from there.
Right, but I don't even get "Unknown Device" or "Device not recognized". Absolutely nothing happens.
My phone will charge but neither device talks to each other.
you ate sure igs a USB 2.0/3.0 and not a 1.0 jack?
czn you trhy on someone elses pc?
normally wjen a USB jack goes out that's it.
sprryfor typos, lpud music and alcohol. id say what else but domt want some law enforcement type to see my post. weee

that *might* work.. if your PC is a store bought system, you'd just go to the manufacturers website and download the drivers from the 'downloads/support' page, then uninstall from device manager, reboot, re-install(and possibly reboot again).
if it's a custom PC, you'd goto the motherboard manufacturers page & do the same thing. if you don't know the make/model of the motherboard, it will also tell you in device manager(or just remove the side of the case and look at the motherboard itself, it'll be labelled somewhere near the cpu).

If by loading Hboot you mean loading the bootloader and trying every single option (even Hboot USB), then yes.

I can't even get the computers to recognize that I need a driver or that I have a device connected.
not sure if you've tried another USB cable or not, but if you have and it's still doing the same thing then it has to be a hardware related issue. possibly something wrong with the USB connection on your phone.
Awhile back, mine was doing something weird where when i'd plug it in to charge it and it kept showing that it was constantly charging, then not charging... I thought "what the hell!?".. I ended up trying canned air and it helped a little.. but started up again. I finally used some 'electrical parts cleaner' on it and ever since it's been functioning normally again.

well, in the time I've had my TBolt, I've tried out every radio & countless rom/kernal variations. I have never had an issue connecting to PC on any radio so I doubt the radio has anything to do with your issue.
You have already attempted everything else though(a side from the cleaning) so i'd wonder if there's some sort of issue with the software on your phone.
I have had this exact problem.. have tried different PC's, different cords, different usb ports...I have tried to mount under CWM also. Computers don't give any indication that there is anything hooked into them....the phone does charge however. I have reinstalled the ROM (using CM7.1.1) I have intalled previous backups which had no problems linking to my PC. I have not tried to clean the charging port..will give that a go...I feel I will have to by a card reader for my pc to read the microSD. worked fine for 6 months, but then just quit. Posted this problem on android central...but no one could figure out a solution, thought someone here might have....last post on my AC thread from someone with same problem was told by verizon/htc to send it back for replacement...don't want to but might have to do this...love to have a brilliant idea before I do though! Can't post the link to the AC thread as I am a new registered user here..been trolling all year...but you can find it under the Thunderbolt Rooting. ROM's and Hacks area.....
I'm pretty sure no one has a solution to our problem. I've taken compressed air and cleaned everything and still no luck. It's just a question of how much they'll charge me for it.

HTC Sensation Bricked? Suddenly can't turn on anymore..

Hi guys,
I've run into some problems, I installed Android Revolution HD 6.5 two days ago. Everything worked like a charm, now I shutted down my phone to go in recovery, sadly enough my phone won't reboot, does not charge nor does it respond to my desperate pushes on the power button. Anyone experienced anything like this?
Worth mentioning also is that the battery was 80+% charged.. So it would seem strange to me that this would anything to do with eventual dead battery.
Just to be clear: hadn't installed anything, nothing less, nothing more.
If I could just get acces to bootloader through usb or anything like this.
I fear that there is someting seriously wrong here?
What are you guys thinking? Any possible solutions?
Hi,
The same thing more or less happened to me.
My phone went dead one night and wouldnt turn on, charge or connect with the PC. I had already arranged a repair with HTC for another issue and so I sent it off to them and a few days later I now have it back and it is working fine so far.
They replaced the mainboard and a few other bits and pieces all under warranty.
I hope you get your phone fixed and sorted asap.

Hi,
Is there any chance the battery pins could be damaged or bent?
Is there any way for you to get hold of another battery(from a shop or friend) and try that?
I will test the battery in the laboratory tomorrow.. I've read you should get a minimum of 3.6V or something like that? Curious to see what has caused this problem. Do you think htc would see I flashed a custom rom on it if I send it to repair?

That is why i suggest a different battery.
If they can switch it on,they will see the s-off.

They don't use a JTAG unit or anything like that to see what has went wrong than I presume? Well, first thing I'll do is test it right away at the laboratory. I will post the result in the evening.

My sensation was rooted and had a custom ROM on, but I was preparing to send the phone back in when it got bricked. I had managed to install stock rom and do S-on but the phone had an unlocked bootloader using HTC dev website, so I was worried they wouldnt do the repair.
As it happens they did all the work under warranty and didnt say/ mention having unlocked bootloader. It has come back locked though.
Was anybody able to find a fix for this?
My sensation 4g has basically the same problem. After rooting and installing ICS it worked fine for a few days then it ceased booting or responding to a charger (no LED response). I was able to turn on the phone again by letting it sit for a while but no luck lately. I'm wondering if my phone is bricked?
When I press the power button the screen stays black with lights on (no LED).
I can't get into bootloader and the phone is not detected by ADB, I tried the unbricking project thread by Dexter, however my phone is not detected by linux. On windows, i did get it to detect as qhsusb_dload.
Any thoughts would be helpful!
Thanks

If your getting QHSUSB DLOAD I'm so sorry to tell you as I believe your device is HARD BRICKED. You can try jtag. If you search there are several companies who will jtag. I'm wishing you the best and I'm sorry about your device.

I had to return my HTC Sensation to the repair center. Apparently the motherboard just fried. I got a new motherboard and just S-OFFed the phone again. Very weird problem though. As has been said in this post earlier, if they can't turn on the device they won't see it is S-OFFed and your warranty will apply.

[Q] Factory reset, "dead" phone..

Hello all \o
So, I have a sensation, on which I was running the hyperSensation rom, (s-off, root etc).
Anywho, a friend of mine borrowed it for a little while, and before he gave it back to me, he did a factory reset on it.
Now, the phone appears dead. It won't turn on, I get nothing when plugging it to my computer or charger.
What's wrong? Is there anything I can do?
Apologies if anything is unclear, but I'm not a pro at this
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I believe that your going to have to reflash the Rom.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
So it won't turn on at all? Have you tried removing battery placing battery back, pressing power and volume down at the same time to boot into recovery. If that works and you have done a backup you can restore this way. Go to recovery, backups/restore and restore your backup Rom this way. Have you tried this? Hope this helps. I've restored this way before when I've gotten in a bind. But hopefully you do have a backup. Give it a shot and see if this works for you.

Sounds like a brick buddy, might have to send it in to HTC or get a replacement.
put the battery out for 10 minutes!

Tell your friend he/she owes you a phone. And get a Nexus 7 to compensate you for your "pain and suffering". Did your friend pee on it?!
Back to the issue at hand. Do you have another battery to test out the phone? OR when you plug the phone in and hold the power button down (for 10 seconds) does the LED flash at all?
Does your computer recognize the phone at all when plugged in?
Sounds really bad. Try a new battery if that doesn't work and suggestions don't work sounds like you need a replacement. What the heck did he do to your phone, and why?? I'd say he owes you a new device! That's for sure! Why was he messing with the internal part of the device anyway?

You should have a try at this solution : Sensation Unbrick provided by Dexter93. Do read, understand and follow the guide and probably your phone will boot from the death.
Don't mess with Ubuntu version, take the 10.04 for 32bit, it's mandatory to succeed.
Thanks again for all your suggestions and tricks!
I tried pulling the battery for 10 minutes (more like 30, but does that matter?)
The LED does not flash at all when connected to the computer or not (holding power for over 10 sec).
Unfortunately I don't have a spare battery or anyone with a sensation I can try with, but I've been looking around and they don't cost much, so I might just buy one and hope it's that.
That unbricking thing seems a bit over my level, but if all else fails, I might give it a go.
Thanks again all

[Q] My phone is Bricked how can i fix it?

Earlier, i was just playing around on my phone then all of a sudden the phone froze. I then rebooted it and it seemed to fix it for a couple of minutes, but then it decided to freeze again. (this then continued to happen a couple more times, then finally it just stopped.)
My phone now wont turn on,it wont connect to the computer, i cant access bootloader and now i do not know what i can do.
Does anyone know what i can do to fix it? I have a nandroid back up but i cant even access boot loader / recovery so i can flash it.
Thanks.

Thanks, i am downloading ubuntu / a virtual machine now, and will try it later.
Edit - On second thoughts i don't think this will work, as it bricked with no change to the rom / data.
Try this.
It's the only way to be sure if it's bricked or not

Did the phone heat up when it froze? If yes, then leave it there. Maybe for a couple of hours.
Last time such thing happened to my device was when I OC-ed too much, then it froze and died just like yours.
Pulled out battery, walked for half an hour, put it back in, worked! (it happened a few times to know its because of CPU clock)

I have tried that unbricking method, and that doesn't work, so right now my phone is screwed.

My phone wont even turn on anymore. I literally did nothing that would have cause the device to brick.
It is starting to look like hardware failure, even though it did work for a while.
Not that this will automatically resurrect your phone, but try leaving the phone and battery in your refrigerator overnight and try again the next morning. It's worked for some people before and you've got nothing to lose.
Maybe some hardware parts are way too hot (CPU, GPU).
The sensation automatically turns off if some parts of the phone are too hot. The reason I think this is because you were playing games, and games can cause the phone to overheat. A Lot.

it wasn't really that hot when it finally turned off for good (I have felt it much hotter than that.)
And the phone has been off for a fair few hours now and it still wont turn on.
(there is also no charging light when plugged in)
There's no charging light even when you plug it in the PC? What about adb? Does your PC recognize your device? Does it say something like QHSUSB_DLOSD?
If you answered no to all those questions, then you have a hard brick and may need to replace your motherboard...

There is no charging light when i plug it in, my pc doesnt detect it (adb)
I managed to get the QHSUSB_DLOAD using this method -

Though, i don't really know where i go from there, as i cant use that htc unbricking method in earlier posts.
Why can't you use HTC sensation unbricking project? You got your phone into QHSUSB_DLOAD didn't you?

It just doesn't work for some reason.
I just get device not found when i use it.
Hmm...I don't know, I'm out of ideas. You may have to get a JTAG.

That requires me sending it to USA though, so i don't think it will be very cost effective.
I will see how much i can sell it for on ebay because i think that a JTAG is out of the question.
Hmm, Ok, I'm really sorry it couldn't work out for you...

if you managed to get the QHSUSB_DLOAD then try unbricking project again
see how it goes
I dont think i will be able to get it to work, as i have to do the wire trick to enable it.
Whereas, in this video he tells you to unplug / plug back in as you hit enter on the script, and as i have to do the wire trick, it makes this method un usable.

I assume you tried a different USB cable?
and checked the batt and ground pins.
