[Q] Htc Sensation XE half-dead. Please help.

Hey guys, it's been a long time since i don't post anything here. I've recently bought a very cheap used Htc Sensation XE. But he came to me with this issues:
- It doesn't turn on.
- My notebook doesn't recognize it, when I connect it with a USB cable.
- When I connect it to the charger a orange led turned on, stood turned on for a few seconds, then turned off. Stood turned off for a few seconds the turned on again. This went on and on for a while, until the phone vibrated, then nothing else happened. If I remove the charger then put it back on, the process will repeat itself.
Has anyone been through this? I really need some help.
Thank you all for the attention!

Perfect friend, now just wait, the staff is very good here.

Okay. How long have you tried leaving the phone on charge?
Have you tried booting to bootlaoder?
Hold down Volume down + Power button.
If the bootloader screen is accessible, can we please know what it says?

I think he does not have access to the bootloader ...

The last time it stood 30 minutes on charge. I've tried booting into bootloader but it doesn't work. The phone won't even vibrate to indicate it is turning on

Check if that battery is a tight fit. If not, try putting in a piece of paper (like a business card) on the edge opposite to battery contacts.
Also, have you tried a different battery?
Get these drivers, install them and restart your PC.

Then try connecting your phone to the PC.

Solved? But how?
In the exact same problem. Is your problem solved? In that case, how was it solved? I know it's an old thread, but seems the only hope. Someone please help!

[Q] Phone won't charge, no LED, USB makes on/off sounds but won't recognize device

Hello! Last night, my phone died while I was out. When I got home, I plugged it into the wall charger and I noticed the LED didn't come on. I left it charging overnight for about 6 hours and tried to turn it on - no luck. I read on another topic that you needed to charge it to ~2% through USB for it to begin charging on the wall if it's "too" dead, so I left it on my laptop for an hour but again with no luck. I did notice that my laptop couldn't recognize a device though, and since my phone was the only thing plugged in, it means my phone was 'on'. I held the power button and the device disconnected, held the power button again, the unknown device reconnected. So my phone is turning on and off, so I wondered it was my screen. I turned it on, but no sounds worked when I messed with the volume button, so I'm going to rule the screen out. Despite being able to turn 'on', I can't get into recovery and it won't truly turn on.
I'm rooted and unlocked, running a version of PA, though I haven't updated it in some months and haven't downloaded anything other than a picture or two to my phone recently, so I don't think I've bricked it or anything.
I've never used ADB or fastboot or anything like that, so if there's a solution through that I'd be happy to try it out. If there's anything I forgot to mention, please tell me!
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

This has happened to some people. It seems like going completely dead can somehow corrupt something in the firmware in rare cases.
Open Device Manager and plug in your phone, then see what pops up. If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, your phone has bricked, but it may be fixable. Check into the Unbricking Evita thread and see if the guys there can help.
Failing that, get a warranty exchange.

Try different button combinations (hold power, or hboot combination) while the phone is plugged into the wall charger. At least one person I was trying to help, got his phone to power on this way, when nothing else seemed to work.

Sounds like you're phone is in qdl mode. i second trying the unbricking thread.

HTC One S turned off and will not turn on

This is a HTC One S unlocked and rooted with CM 10. Last night I was using the phone and out of nowhere powered off. I plugged it into wall charger and when I went this morning to turn it on I got nothing. The orange light indicating charging does not turn on. I have tried holding every variation of the power button with other buttons getting nothing. When I connect to PC the device is not detected. As of recently every time I connect the phone to the usb or to the wall outlet, the camera's flash stays on. As soon as I disconnect the phone the flash goes off. If I hold the power button while connected via usb or wall charger the flash will turn off after 10 seconds but once I let go it comes right back on and this does nothing to turn the phone on, the whole time its black. any tips?

update any time I plug the phone into the computer or wall charger the camera light comes on and stays on while plugged in. The charge light does not come on and the pc does not recognize a device is connected. The only thing I can think of to try is to take apart phone and take out the battery, but I do not have the proper tools maybe walmart eye glass repair kit may work with with a razor.

Edit: took apart phone and disconnected battery and still nothing. just the camera flash on when plugged in via wall or usb! Any help guys!
Edit #2: took the phone apart completely there was nothing out of the ordinary and not damage of any kind. Put the phone back together and nothing. It's as if the phone has lost all of its software because it doesn't respond to the power button or any button as if the phone doesn't have a command for the button pushes. The only thing that has life is the camera flash that comes on when phone is plugged into a power source that's it.

I am sure the price of repair would not be worth the phone and there's no warranty

Never heard of this problem. You might want to try holding the power button down?

Update: out of nowhere I have the orange blinking light and the computer recognizes the device as a USB Composite Device. the phone does not power on nor will it go to the bootloader, Is there anyway to turn on the phone with the computer?
well fastboot does not recognize the phone and I tried updating the drivers and that didn't help. phone blinks orange and connects as a USB composite device but cannot power the phone on or access anything on it.

Hm, difficult.
You could try these commands in order:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot-bootloader
If it doesn't answer keep it loading for 24 hours or at least over night and then retry. Else it is bricked.

seems to be bricked, it does not come up under devices and fastboot sits at the waiting prompt. well this sucks how random to brick while normal usage

Bootloop + Power Menu problem

So today i started having bootloops, it was showing the Powered by Android screen for 2 seconds then booting again over and over for few hours
Now after it somehow got fixed by itself, i managed to turn the phone ON and to clear Cache
So far there are not bootloops anymore
BUT
huge BUT
the phone is poping the Power Menu most of the time, and then every touch on the screen just "presses" on the Shut Down option
If i press on the Power button myself it shut him down automatically ...
EDIT:
Would like to add, that i never unlocked it, it's the regular OTA version.
I doubt a wipe wll help, but i really wont mind if thats the case
Its almost like something pressing the Power button sometimes, but even WITHOUT the back case it still pops that power menu. even if no one is touching it at all it still pops it once in a while, which cause shut downs once in a while ...

So i woke up
The phone is off, i cant turn it on
I charge it for few hours already and still nothing happens the power button doesnt do nothing, it doesnt vibrate
So i connect it to my PC, it shows it as a Marshal something in the device manager but it KEEPS disconnecting and reconnecting every 2 seconds
I have found a "fix ur bricked phone" threads but they all using a tool that needs the phone connected to the PC, well my phone cant stay connected more than 5 seconds for some reason [ different cables, different computers] it keeps on popping in and out

Did you drop your phone in the water or something? Wet or damp from the rain maybe?
And did you try connecting it while in fastboot or recovery mode?

Maybe wet from Humidity but thats all
i cant reach fastboot nor recovery
as now it all black, not turning on not even for a bootloop
This problem happen when the phone is getting wet ? its certainly didn't but maybe i should "fix" it as a wet phone should be fixed? should i open it and dry it out? maybe take the battery out? its not that easy to take it out tho

I had a phone which was wet from the rain, it made the power button faulty. It would randomly turn screen on off like in your case. I took it to the repair shop and they cleaned the insides and it was fine again. If you're sure it's not the rain or anything then maybe that's not the reason, just a guess.
How about plugging in the charger? Does it light up? If it lit up and you cant turn it on after maybe its the power button problem.

plugging the charger doesnt do nothing
Although i got a portable charger with a led , the led turns on when i plug the One, BUT, the led bar doesnt decrease even after few hours, so its like "trying" to charge but not charging anything

Try this from OnePlus Customer Support:
2. Power cycle the One by holding the Power button for 20 seconds 5 times.
3. Attempt to start the phone by holding down the Power button along with the Volume down button to start recovery mode and performing a factory reset.

or hold Power button with the Volumn up button to see if you can get into fastboot mode.

lol bro... seriously.. you really think i didnt try that stuff before opening a thread?
I already scanned the entire web and no one with the same issue have posted a fix thread
one plus doesnt even care about their customers

Is this the guide you said you saw? http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
Why not give it a try? Follow the steps and see if you are able to unbrick your phone.

I mean there's not much you can do if you can't even turn on your device in the first place :/

No LED indicator, black screen no haptic feedback, is my phone dead?

I woke up this morning to shut off the alarm on my phone (Oneplus6), then dozed off.
Woke up a few hours later and realized the phone screen is black and refuses to turn on. I put plugged in my charger, no-led indicator. My first thought was, did I kill the battery ? Then I remembered my phone was charged to near 40% before I went to sleep and I haven't let my phone battery die on this phone **ever**.
So I tried the power + volume button trick. No bueno.
Now the phone is plugged in. I have a charger that seems to indicate the phone is drawing power so the battery is being charged, even without any LED indicator (which usually displays red or green). So my thinking is that the phone is completely dead.
And to give some background, this phone has never been dropped, it has been kept in a dry environment all the time. It still has the originality of the HTC case and the IMEI sticker on the back... This phone was pampered like a baby, and today I woke up feeling like crap when I saw this.
Great Thanksgiving gift OnePlus!
Today being 11/22/2018, this phone is dead exactly 6 months after Oneplus released it (it was released on May 22, 2018).
I have so much data on this phone that I feel gutted that this happened.
I know this looks like a clear case of RMA/exchange, but just so that I can exhaust other possibilities, can anything think of something that I can do to potentially revive this phone simply to salvage my information before RMAing the device?

Have you tried the QCOMM loader method for fixing bricked devices?

Not sure what you're inferring here. My phone was not rooted, not bootloader unlocked as is required for workplace apps to function.
I can't turn on the phone by any means but when I plugged the phone to my laptop, it does show:
"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)"
What can I do from here on? Is it possible i can get access to the device through the laptop and atleast attempt to salvage some of my data before I ship off the phone?
Thanks.

There's a guide right here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3796051/

After countless attempts, it seems that this does not work. As I said, there is no indication of either charging or that the screen will ever come on. The power button is unyielding as well. Most phones respond to the touch of the power button bring held down either via some haptic feedback or via sound even if the screen does not. In my case none of these apply.
This is going back via RMA.
I've rooted phones before, installed third party roms, on other devices. On this phone, i did neither because there was no need. To this date, I have never had a phone die on me this early in my ownership.

just hold down the power button for 10 secs and watch it at least power on.

I'm not sure how much more clear I can be. The phone does not power on no matter how long I hold the power button down. Nor does it turn on when I hold the power button down in combination with the volume up or down buttons.

Contact your reseller or OnePlus customer service.
As long as you haven't unlocked your bootloader you have the right for a new phone or at least customer support.
