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

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

[Q] Random rebooting does not stop

Hi
This is a well known issue with the nexus 5. My device permanently starts rebooting. The google Logo occurs and then it rebotos again. There is no start animation. If I press the power and volume down bottom I just see the bootloader screen and after half a second it reboots. I can't do anything.
My phone is rooted (no custom ROM) and before I go back to the shop I want to unroot it. However, with this behaviour I'm not able to do it, or is there any chance? Does someone know at least, how I can boot normaly to unroot it.
thanks for your help

Hello, take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701

Is this really a well known issue? What were you doing directly beforehand? What have you tried to do to fix it? Have you tried using fastboot commands to reload factory images? Are you a toolkit only user? Have you tried a factory image through that?

Well IMHO it is a well known issue (see for example the wikipedia page or just have a look in tech forums). Directly before, I was writing an SMS and put it in my pocket (everything seems fine at that moment). 10 minutes later I just want to check my SMS and then it was already rebooting all the time. This was not the first time, I had this issue 2 todays before, but after approximatley 20 reboots it started correctly.
So far I was not able to use fastboot commands, since I can't enter fastboot. I didn't use a toolkit.

I have never heard of the issue where it was only rooted and it just randomly decides to reboot and keeps doing it for no reason at all without the user flashing something that it did not like. So are you saying that you cannot even turn the phone off it just keeps going into a bootloop and trying to enter fastboot does nothing?
I don't think this is a really well known issue.. Have not seen to many support threads about this.

If the wall charger is plugged into the phone, the nexus just starts rebooting. I see the white Google logo and after one or two seconds it reboots. Sometimes you see the boot animation (4 circles) but after a short time it restarts the phone not able get to the point where you unlock the SIM. Trying to get into fastboot mode is also not possible. The fastboot mode appears but after half a second the phone reboots again. If the nexus is not connected to a charger it repeats rebooting for about four times after that just a black screen appears. If I'm not able to get into fastboot mode I can't unroot the phone, right? So the links you shared are not useful in my case
I have the nexus now over a week and the phone worked perfectly fine the first week.
I have uploaded two films of the problem to youtube, see this link. One film is with the nexus plugged into the chrager and one where it isn't.

That is very strange.
I would definitely use Madpiercing's post and link to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521691&page=3 to try and fix it.

The very strange thing is, that it worked well over a week. the random rebooting starts two days ago, first time it starts again correctly after 5 min. Now it seems to hang in a loop.

After a while I was able to get into the fastboot mode: I plugged my nexus into the wall charger for about 1 hour. Then it booted correctly. I had plugged my nexus into the charger before (over night) without leading to the same result. It seems that it just starts working correctly as random as it crashes
Do you think it is a bug in the bootloader or that something happened while to rooting the phone?

[q] nexus 5 bricked in first 4 days sos

Alright i got 6 hours before tmbobile store opens and i can HOPEFULLY get an exchange, but not banking on it. btw im new to rooting so i wasnt familiar with the process, but regardless i have hard bricked my NEXUS 5. Title says the problem. I followed wwjoshdew's guide to rooting on youtube, and rooted successfully. But i could'nt for the life of me figure out how to create nandroid. I ended up realizing i didnt download cmw recovery mode and downloaded it from the play store. the app took me to a button that said flash recovery and i hit it and my phone asked for permission from unknown source, i hit ok and it shut down, on 70% battery life. Not turning on please help

Try to boot the phone into bootloader mode. Just hold volume down and the power button. From there try to cycle to recovery. You use your volume down to cycle through the options and power but as select. If you can boot into recovery and have that successfully installed then you can erase your phone and try to power it on from there. If you didn't successful install the custom recovery then you'll have the standard Android recovery. You can erase everything from that too.
These phones are hard to brick and not be able to fix it.

Doesn't turn on dude. No matter what. I am new to roms but i know what a hard brick is.

You should really read the guides and stickied threads at the top of these forums. The guides are very noob friendly and you wouldn't have bricked your phone. There's one to reset your device to stock as well. There's really no need for this thread and on top of that there is a sticky that says no questions in the General forums.

Determine your phone is actually off. Plug your phone into charge, if a battery sign appears in the middle of the screen then your phone is off.
If your phone is off, hold down the volume down button with the power button to start the bootloader, press volume down twice and press the power button to enter recovery.
If your screen remains black and doesn't show a battery logo, hold the volume up, volume down and power buttons at the same time for a minute, then let go and hold down the power button. Which should hopefully start your phone.

You bricked a Nexus?
Hold down Volume Down, Up, and Power to get into fastboot mode. Restore from Factory Image.
Normally, to root a nexus, I fastboot Team Win Recovery Project.
Anyways what you did simply could not HARD BRICK the phone.

I don't believe the issues you're seeing, appears to be failed emmc, is related to chain fire's auto root. Cf is probably the most popular method to root and it's a coincidence. I've seen these failures with other root methods too.
I think the op flashed a kernel not for his device.

I am not a developer so bear with me. I'm just a guy in mpls with a completely stock N5 from Google Play that encountered similar issue as the original post. There was no damage or water issue, or other problem prior to going dead. It had about 50% battery and maybe 15 minutes after reading an email it was dead when I looked at it again. It just simply turned off while in my pocket. I could not get it to power on or enter bootloader or a recovery screen. After a week of trying to charge via USB and the original wall charger and countless attempts to hold power and volume buttons without success, I decided to pop the back off and disconnected the battery. I put it back together, but that made no difference either. Google play will send me a new phone, but I'd like to get it fired up and extract the last week or so of pics. Any ideas? Again, I am a complete noob and this 3 month old phone has not been modified in any way, other than auto updates from Google play. Thanks for any assistance or guidance.

I get the unknown device driver when hooked up USB to computer (QHSUSB_BULK). Think it is worth waiting a few weeks prior to returning it to see if there is a way to access the flash memory via a driver download? Searches for help showed similar unknown driver problem workable on samsung and HTC last year (QHSUSB_DLOAD)

No, you won't be able to. The memory doesn't mount like a sd card would. For the future use something like drop box or Google drive too backup your photos as you take them.

Super hard bricked Oneplus One.

Okay, so I was flashing full stock + unroot using WugFresh Bacon Root Toolkit.
It got up to flashing the RPM, completed that and then rebooted into bootloader.. It never rebooted it just shut down and didn't come back on.
Dead screen, can't reboot into bootloader, fastboot, normal reboot, nothing on screen at all ever, the charging LED doesn't even come on.
Device is not recognised on my computer at all, under any device name.
Took the back casing off, unhooked the battery and rehooked it back on again.. Nothing.
Thinking the phone is well and truly f*cked.
What are my options guys? Contact Oneplus customer service and play roulette to see if I actually get a response from them within a 3 month period and then have to face the gigantic cost of posting the phone back to them from Australia on the hopes of getting a new one? Or just buy a new phone, the S6 just came out so that's an option.

Lesson: don't use toolkits.
Anyway, give this a try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
If that doesn't revive your phone nothing will. There's no point in contacting OnePlus about this unless you're happy to pay for whatever repairs are needed, this doesn't fall under warranty.

Yeah like I said earlier.. It isn't recognised via USB at all. Thanks anyway.
It wasn't a fault of the toolkit, it was the fault of the phone itself. I use it because it saves me time, who can be arsed typing that manually when you have a .bat to do it for you?

Yeah, and many of the people who have successfully revived their phones using that method weren't able to recognise their phone via usb to start with either. But hey, I guess it isn't worth trying.

"A hardware bricked OPO has nothing but a black screen (nothing ever comes on the screen, not even a boot logo), it might vibrate when a power button is pressed and held for 20 seconds, has no Recovery partition, no adb mode, and no fastboot partition. The device might be detected in Linux and you might be able to even send commands to it. In Windows, the bricked OPO should be detected as QHSUSB_BULK USB"
AS I SAID the device is not showing up on the computer, AT ALL. Under any device name.
It does not vibrate when I hold the power button for 20 seconds, it has no ADB, no fastboot, no nothing.
But hey, thanks for being an arsehole about it. Really appreciate it.

I know what a hard brick is. And as I said, many people who thought they were hard-bricked have revived their phones with that method. It isn't your usual detect-by-fastboot fix. Isn't it worth a try? Others in your situation have had success with it.
Plus, if your phone is actually 100% hard-bricked, why are you posting here? If that's the case there's absolutely nothing that can be done. You came here looking for help, I'm giving you the link to the one thing that has a chance of saving your phone.

Wugfresh is the one of the most reputable and is the most downloaded developer on all of XDA look it up. So suggesting not to use toolkits is ridiculous.
Send me a PM of your issues and I'll see if I can't get you back up and running... Provide me all the details of what all your phone does and does not do, etc... I've read all that you've said above, so I suppose just tell me what it DOES so if anything, Thanks

It doesn't matter how reputable a toolkit is, they cause problems, this thread is a testament to that. You can find many threads just like this one in this very q&a section that describe very similar issues after using a toolkit.

Actually in this case I'm almost 100% sure it was due to the fact I had just installed Oxygen OS and was reverting back to stock from it. Had nothing to do with the toolkit. Not to mention, I have never had any problems with this toolkit in the past and I would still recommend it to people who want to save them self from hassle and wasting time. Thanks anyway.
By the way, anyone reading this: Stay the hell away from OxygenOS. Nothing but dramas from it, it seems. Not forgetting to mention the fact it is literally just a stock version of Lollipop anyway! Better off with CM12S or BlissPop or any of the CFW's out there.

I agree that there are better ROMs available for this phone, but that's just our opinion, heaps of people have been looking for a stock aosp experience on this phone and I think Oxygen is as close as you could get. As for the ROM itself causing problems, I don't think that's it. I flashed it to test it out and went back to my previous ROM without a single issue (as have many others). I think it's a matter of taking the care to flash the right firmware/modem before reverting back to whatever ROM was running previously, otherwise it's kinda asking for trouble.
So have you tried the unbrick method I linked you to? I'm not saying it's definitely going to fix your problem. What I'm saying is there have been several cases of this phone showing all the signs of being hard bricked, without it actually being hard bricked, and that's the fix that saved those phones. You might be hard bricked, or your phone might fall into the category that I just mentioned, but at this point anything has to be worth a try.

Read through it and the sole problem of why it won't work is that there is no communication with my phone via my computer at all. The point of that tutorial is to unbrick your device by manipulating what your computer see's as the device (Qualcomm generic hardware ID being reported) unfortunately I can't even see that. I think it's just a lost cause unfortunately. But thank you for taking an interest.
UPDATE: Wow what do you know? After trying for an hour of powering on/off and trying to fastboot and flashmode and all that jazz and no luck, tried it on my laptop and sure enough it popped up with the Qualcomm generic driver ID. Whole bunch of screwing around and now it is booting into ColosOS. Thanks guys for the links and offers of help!

Yeah, I'm just gonna wait for the CM12S OTA. Tried most every other ROM and was not impressed. This being said, I'm still buying an S6 in two days. Will be keeping my OPO to satisfy my ROM flashing/android manipulating needs and using the S6 for everything else a smart phone offers

Try plugging it into a different computer.. That was what worked for me.
Don't know if it was necessary (in fact I am almost certain it isn't) but In my haste I took off the back cover and unscrewed a thousand small screws with my jewellers kit and unplugged the battery and plugged it back in. Like I said, not necessary.
Even if it doesn't look like it's charging.. If you can't see it on a computer at all then keep it on charge for a few hours anyway.. It can't hurt.
Best of luck!

Stevles said:
Okay, so I was flashing full stock + unroot using WugFresh Bacon Root Toolkit.
It got up to flashing the RPM, completed that and then rebooted into bootloader.. It never rebooted it just shut down and didn't come back on.
Dead screen, can't reboot into bootloader, fastboot, normal reboot, nothing on screen at all ever, the charging LED doesn't even come on.
Device is not recognised on my computer at all, under any device name.
Took the back casing off, unhooked the battery and rehooked it back on again.. Nothing.
Thinking the phone is well and truly f*cked.
What are my options guys? Contact Oneplus customer service and play roulette to see if I actually get a response from them within a 3 month period and then have to face the gigantic cost of posting the phone back to them from Australia on the hopes of getting a new one? Or just buy a new phone, the S6 just came out so that's an option.

OnePlus One - stuck on Resurrection boot

Hello guys,
I apologize if this has been solved before but I wasn't able to find anything on it.
I have a oneplus one phone which I had running Ressurection Rom (I don't have the details as my father was using it for the last 2 years).
He dropped the phone and gave it to a shop for repairing of the screen. They repaired the screen but now they have somehow messed with the software where I am UNABLE TO BOOT TO FASTBOOT OR TRWP. The function of holding POWER + VOLUME DOWN or POWER + VOLUME UP doesn't work. When I attempt those two options, it still continues to boot as it normally would and then start optimizing apps. Does that for about 45 minutes and then just restarts and repeats the process.
I haven't messed around with android stuff for about a year now, so simplified instructions (rather step by step) would be extremely helpful.
Thank you so much for taking the time.

Hello, Thank you for your response.
I have tried the instructions that you provided and I am stuck in a place where the "Samsung" drivers for OPO are installed but the phone isn't detected by the computer when its plugged in. I assume that means the drivers aren't installed correctly. However, when I do open device manager and attempt to update or uninstall the drivers there isn't a device there that is representative of OPO.
How do I get to the point where the drivers can be installed without me having access to the phone. I can't really go into a bricked phone and turn on ADB etc.'
Thank you

Use Xp or win7(must).

Okay so I have attempted this a tiring number of times; initially the phone at least was going on to loading apps, now it just flashes on the Resurrection load screen and doesn't change at all. Also when I try to boot into recovery/fastboot, nothing happens.
I have also tried installing different drivers from like a samsung phone, nexus but to no avail.
Is there anyone who can perhaps TEAMVIEW me and help out or live chat?

I don't think so. If it is a battery issue he could go to fastboot since fastboot only uses a small amount of charge.

I have, its definitely not a battery issue, because i have seen the phone stay on for an hour just on the bootscreen without being plugged in or anything.

Most probably your volume buttons were messed up during the repair. That's the only reason I can think of. There are some videos on YouTube about fixing the volume buttons.
