Hi, my HTS Sensation is not switching on, not entering bootloader
i think that bootloader the fell off, is it possible restore dead bootloader if phone not turn on? is there any manual how to unbrick device?
thanks for help!
Did the let the battery die all the way by any chance?
If so, the battery is too low and I believe certain recoveries don't charge the phone (it's a bug). If you let it die all the way, take an old charger with a comparable output voltage and rip the end off that goes into the phone. There are gonna be two wires, red and black. Take the red and attach it to the + Terminal on the battery, and the black goes to the - Terminal. Do this for maybe 15 to 20 minutes, and that'll charge the battery - hopefully enough to turn the phone on. Do this with the battery out of the phone and make sure the wires never touch or cross. There are four terminals on the battery, the inner two shouldn't be touched, ever.
Again, only do this if you happened to let the battery die completely, as it's semi risky and making a mistake can damage the battery.
Try this:
1. Unplug battery and put it back try to boot in bootloader mode if that didn't work.
2. plug the USB cable in and hook it with the computer and try to boot it. If your computer show up some device found but is not show as normal android usb or sensation. most likely your sensation got hardware damage. If that happened try to contact HTC and ask for repair service.
I got similar issue before (rooted and s-off then sh1t my device during flash the rom) I send back to HTC and they repaired and send it back to me only shipping fee charged.
the battery is full, but the phone doesn't respond... the bootloader not run anymore
I have no guarantee, and I don't know where is service center HTC
Do as Johnsonyc said, remove your battery, reinsert it, and try to boot it up. If not, ship it to an HTC center and they should take care of it.
Did you do anything to cause this or did it just happen out of nowhere?
One trick you can try is to pull the battery, put it back in, insert a usb cable, hold volume down, then plug the usb into a comp. Sometimes that will get it to boot up.
Thanks for all.... but you don't understand?! I did everything 100 times .... do you know what is a bootloader? it (boot up) does not exist... just bricks
There are two solutions: 1)- send to a service center (pls. not offered).
2)- flash the bootloader - if anyone knows how to do it, please write.
thank you
Cool down sunshine. I don't believe we can flash the bootloader. Just send it in to HTC, they'll take care of it.
oh... it seems I'm sunk ... I live abroad and bought it on eBay :'(

Hi every body having this problem its done with octoplus box jtag
Hello,
So the phone fell from a small height into a toilet today but didn't turn off. Instead it rebooted and now it is stuck in a bootloop, reaching the end of the boot animation and beginning again.
I can't reach the recovery or bootloader. Holding down the bottom button and the power button stalls the bootloop but only produces a black screen for a few seconds before it loops again. Holding the power button just restarts the loop.
I tried plugging it into a pc and checking if it was listed under "adb devices" while it was looping but got no joy.
The thing is sitting in rice while I hunt for some silica gel packets. So on the plus side I have invented flashing rice.
Have I missed anything or do I just have to hope something changes as it dries out?
Thanks.
You should have been drying it out first before trying anything ...
But hopefully it'll dry out and it'll be fine. Tell us how things will turn out.

I was a bit perplexed really, the phone wouldn't turn off so I was looking to make it power off so I could leave it to dry in peace. I felt like it was doing all the damage it would do since it was already on :/
Still in boot loop.

I think if it s still in boot loop that s not so bad... It s still alive.
I would be you, I would put it without case in a box full of rice during at least 24h. It would help to dry it. It would have been better just after the incident but maybe it s not too late. Good luck...

Drying methods
The good news is that water repellant treatment is applied to most Motorola phones. Even so, small droplets of water sitting on surfaces can cause problems both immediately and longer term (through oxidation). Thorough drying out only possible through evaporation (immersion in rice WILL NOT work with these sealed units, as it's a contact desiccant, which works by capillary absorption of water molecules that it physically touches).
So: power off immediately after retrieving from water; remove back to expose as much of the interior as possible; remove SIM card. Then keep the phone in a warm place overnight (eg airing cupboard). Leave for 24 hrs; then attempt re-activation.
Dropped my Moto G gen 1 phone into water yesterday, took it out within a couple of seconds. It seemed ok, then went into repeated boot loops. Opened it up, no visible water inside (prob because of water repellant treatment).
Followed steps above , and after 24 hrs the boot loops ended and it is now working fine.
Good luck !
A similar thing happened to a moto e, it wasn't dropped or anything but it was stuck in an infinite reboot loop.
I took it to the moto service center and they fixed it by doing a "power charge", at least thats what he called it.
No idea what it means. He connected it to a laptop and voila!, it booted.
Hi,
I am stuck in the same problem. My motog 1st gen fell into the toilet day before yesterday. I took it out within 10 seconds I guess. Tried to switch it off, but it was stuck in the boot up loop and didn't switch off. So I tried using a dryer to absorb all the moisture first and then put it in a airtight bag full of rice and waited for the battery to drain for the phone to shut down. It laid there for 30 hours like that.
After that I tried charging it and checking if it works but its still in bootloop.
Please suggest what to do.
Hey community,
i bought a sony xperia z3 three months ago.
Yesterday I recognized that my phone was at 50% battery after charging the whole night.
I thought that its a bug or something and I got my real 100%, but after ~3 hours it was still at 50% and suddenly there was the "you have to charge your phone"-pop up for 1ms.
So i decided to plug in my charger and thought my phone will charge again. But no, the battery icon also switched from 14% to 50% in this 1ms. It was going on like (13%<->50%, 12%<->50% and so on) this until my phone died and got 0%.
I haven't unlocked my bootloader, flashed it or something like this. It was the original vodafone branded sony xperia z3.
Until now I can't charge my phone, because everytime I plug in the charger, my phone is booting with the low-battery icon and after 5 seconds it's turning of in a loop. Booting for 5 seconds and then shutting down and so on...
I thought my phone will have enough battery when I will plug in the charger for the whole night and my phone will try to start in this loop until it has enough battery. But again, nope!
Now I decided to unlock the bootloader and flash my phone with Cyanogenmod 12 or CMW, because my phone is accessible from the computer. I can go into the flashboot and flash mode.
But also after unlocking and flashing I've got the same thing again. It won't start.
I tried to charge it for about 4 hours in flashboot mode, because then the blue light is shining and my phone is not shutting down. But NOPE, same **** again.
I don't know what I can do anymore. Can you help me?
Do you think I have to change the battery?
Looking forward to hear from you! It's only three months old never dropped or something like this.
greetings and sorry for the wall of text

bro warranty covers that, but as soon as u unlocked bootloader, u kinda voided that too =(
go to Vodafone and DO NOT mention that you unlocked bootloader and explain the problem within 2 weeks of purchase u should receive a brand new device and afterwards they'll repair it for you
I have a small crack (2mm thick and I think it came from pressure) at the backcover and asked vodafone if they can change my backcover, because now it's not guaranteed that it's waterproof.
They said no, because it's my own fault if something is cracked or broken on the case and I have to pay 259€ to get a new one.
Yesterday I called vodafone again because of this problem and they won't repair it, because of my first support case and I have to pay 259€ to get a new phone. I was arguing for about 1 hours that this is a guarantee case and it has nothing to do with the crack, but they don't care and there are some laws that I could say that they have damaged my phone and so on. No chance.. Maybe I should call my advocate.
I read something about locking the bootloader? Maybe I can flash a stock version and lock the bootloader?
Try yellow reset button.
I also tried this before. It doesn't fix the problem.
Hi guys, Sorry to bring up such a old post but having a similar issue.. My Mrs phone just started rebooting one day, Vodafone refused to replace because tiny crack. The boot loader is unlockable I tried repairing with xperia windows tools the flashed older and different firmware's many times. The phone works when connected to PC but when unplugged or on normal charger just constant reboot.
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks

Hi, While on holidays I dropped my phone on the beach and a wave hit it, it was covered in sand etc and it was wet. The phone, however, was still turned on and the screen still worked. I locked the phone, and removed the sand from the charging port and between the buttons. But when I turn it on, it goes to the "1+ Powered By Android" screen, and it doesn't go past that. I also can't reach the recovery screen, but I can get to fastboot mode
I left it in rice for a few days, to no luck and I put it in the hot press overnight which didn't work either.
I also tried flashing the stock rom from fastboot mode, and flash a recovery rom too, but it didn't help at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to try and fix it?
Cheers, Adam.
Hey guys dropped my mi5s plus the phone will show black screen after mi logo then black screen then power off..
Everything was kept stock on this phone.
Holding power+vol down= fast boot

fastboot and recovery are ok
does device switch off automatically in fastboot mode ?
I think problem is battery discharged completely and it is not charging
Phone dropped ≠ bricked, it seems more like phone dropped = phone damaged.

Hi,
I have the same problem, but the phone is charging normally...
Phone fell from about 30 cm (with screen to the floor) and turned off. Since then I'm unable to turn it on. I have mi logo, then mi logo with android sign, I feel a vibration and screen turns black. Buttons are flashing for about 10-20 seconds and phone turns off.
I'm unable to flash it with miflash (it's locked and even the global/chinese rom doesn't suit). I tried with wipe and chinese pc suite, but nothing helps.
Edit: OK, it was charging normally I think, but for now it's stuck on 59% and doesn't charge at all...

No, I don't have one. But my firmware doesn't support deep flashing anymore.
Hard brick
Hi,
After installing EU.Rom, my MI5s Plus turned into hard brick. Nothing works anymore. It does show in device manager, but that´s it. Also not noticed in MI Flash Tool.
In CMD (ADB and Fastboot) it says "device not attached". I have read about Deep Flash, but have no idea how to use this or where to buy it.
Can anyone help me out here? Thanks a lot.
