Can't get Linux to recognize my bricked Sensation

Before anyone tells me to ask on the specific thread or go on irc to get help, please know that I did all of those and thats why I'm opening a thread
So, I bricked my HTC Sensation a couple of months back while trying to update firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
But it didn't work properly, and then it didnt have a ROM and it needed a firmware too, and nothing worked. So anyways, i kept trying and all of a sudden my phone wouldn't turn on, charge or anything at all. I realised it was bricked. So recently I saw this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351
So I decided to give it a try, but my problem is that when i type the command in the terminal, it said device wasn't connected.
Then i came across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pcxt6nKI10
So after much effort, I got my sensation to become QHSUSB_DLOAD mode on my computer in Windows. But I realised after I take out my battery and sdcard and plug it into my linux computer, the same thing happens. And when i plug it back into my windows, it doesnt get recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD anymore.
And it's really hard to get my sensation to show qhsusb_dload mode too.
Any advice on my problem? Thanks. Really wanna get my sensation alive again.

Can't reach the hboot :/
The phone is not turning on when pressing the power button
and when I plug it in the charge, the charging LED also is not turning on

Is the notification LED blinking? Try charging the battery with a universal charger.

try charging the device without battery,sim and sdcard for 5-6 hours
then put them back and power on the device
if that fails too then

buddy, I'd got this problem as well once, it won't work. If the LED is not blinking, according to ganeshp, it means a DEFINITE HARD BRICK.
so, I think THE ONLY way to solve it, is to use J-Tag (Or replace the mainboard, a little screwing off).
hope it gets alright.

yeah i know mate but for some users the unbricking project helped too
if that fails then the last option is jtag

Thank u all for your help guys

if you see your phone in device manager as QHSUSB_DLOAD or similar then it is bricked please go here to learn how to recover
Sensation Unbricking Project
And to the people who say if your phones LED no blinking it wont unbrick with Dexters unbrick project your wrong. 95% of the unbricked phones used in the unbricking project have NO blinking LED I did it to my old sensation when bricked going S-ON no LED only picked up in windows as stated above and fixed it on my linux machine

Installed Ubuntu 12.04.. then it automatically installed 3 packages (dont know about that).. then extracted 32 bit files to Home
Problem: when i write ./brickdetect.sh in terminal it says "Device can't be detected. check connections.." although its correctly plugged in (without battery, sim, sd card)
any idea how to fix this issue?

[Q] HTC One S S3 Dead

After countless of weeks trying to figure out what's wrong and how to fix it, I might as well ask help from the masters,
I bought this phone in a non-working condition and was only told it just needed charging.
Here's what I know about it so far:
Z560e
PJ40200
so it's an S3
the phone does not boot up
I cannot get into hboot
the phone shows an amber light when connected to a power source, so I'm assuming it's charging.
sometimes gets detected by the computer as qhsusb_dload but I can't seem to reproduce the condition that it does get detected.
I have taken the phone apart, connected it without the battery to see if qhsusb_dload is detected to no avail
I don't know how it got into this situation and haven't tried any of the methods to fix this as it might worsten the situation.
i have tried to get this checked by a local shop to get it jtagged but he failed and I'm not entirely sure if he put any effort it
I wanna know what's wrong with it and if or how I can fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :highfive:

Is the mode displayed qhusb or qhusb_dload on PC?

it's displayed as qhsusb_dload.
what are the differences exactly? Just so I'd know so I could help out others.

Qhusb is totally bricked and can only be repaired with jtag. Normally qhusb happens by flashing wrong hoot, or recovery etc.
Qhusb_dload can be repaired with PC. Most of the time.
Did you used unlimited.io tool?
Ps I live in Germany, so I won't respond anymore today. Too late here .

wew, well that's a relief. :cyclops:
I haven't yet but I'll try unlimited.io's solution, see if that fixes it.
thanx for your time, it's 5am where I'm from right now and I'll keep working on this till i pass out. :victory:
update: tried unlimited.io's QHSUSB_DLOAD fix but to no avail either, any other suggestions?

No no. Don't try it . Oh damn... Now it's definitely bricked...
I asked if you used it not tried to use it.
Don't wanted you to use it.

hm.. so, what do I do now?

Replied on pm

ok.. so just charge it until Monday?

Yes

@tecardo
my one s s3 too is also bricked like agili, i tried to update to jellybean via OTA and the phone suddenly shutsdown. and now it is bricked. pls help me thanks

Still report back on Monday.

alright, monday is here. what's next?

I would need one of your One S. The reason i had you wait: The battery discharges in this state. If it's empty it's hard to repair.
So someone of you needs to check this: Run a RUU. When Phone is connected.

i ran the ruu, i get an error 170?
so uh, where do i send the phone?
also, would you like me remove the battery so it doesn't discharge on the way there? ill also have it disassembled to save you the trouble

same here tecardo, pls also tell me where i will send my phone im kinda desperate. thanks.

I only need 1 device to look if I can fix it

Im Not Sure Whats The Problem Is - HTC PG58100 T-Mobile

So here is the problem. I got a friends phone, which for some reason does'nt turn on or charge. The Phone is a HTC PG58100 T-Mobile.
Im using a Apple Mac OSX. I did try to charge the phone, But nothing happened. No Lights Worked, But after an hour or so, the board where the usb is connected gets hot, not very hot though.
1. I tried, booting it with the various key combinations suggested, But nothing happened. The Screen didn't even turn on.
2. Tried the ./brickdetech.sh command on my mac. But this is what I get.
"MacBook-Pro:unbrick lesteroliver$ sudo ./brickdetect.sh
Password:
Searching for bricked device...
sed: 1: "/sd.27 sd.28/{ s/.*\(sd ...": extra characters at the end of q command
Device can't be detected. Check connections
MacBook-Pro:unbrick lesteroliver$
It would be great if anyone could help me out with this issue. thanks.
Please Note: I think the phone must have bricked when someone tried to flash a new rom on to this career locked phone or may be a PIT error, I'm not sure.
Thanks.

if you don't have access to the bootloader and unbricking project fails then only jtag method remains

[Help!] Sensation XE JTAG

Hello,
I have a RIFF Box and an Adapter for sensation XE.
I tried to resurrect and rewrite all. I've tried once to do with s-off and once without. The flashing itself went straight, no log errors in riff.
However, the phone is still bricked upon assembling it. When I connect the phone to the PC via usb, it is still appearing as qhsusb_dload under device manager. (with riff driver it's named Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM16))
I've also tried this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775115 and everything went straight. The problem is, after I assembled the phone, it is not being charged or responding to entering hboot.
please help.

EDIT: I've tried few things, long story short: it was a hardware failure. I took my friend's old sensation xe which was bricked also and because his phone was in bad shape, I took only the motherboard, JTAGed it, and the magic happened. Everything works.

bump!

try with a different battery if you have
or charge the device without battery,sim and sdcard for 4-5 hours
put them back and try to switch on the device
