[HELP] my sensation won't turn on

[far8s]

I don't know what went wrong..
My phone stuck at dialer after i made a phone call..therefore I pulled out the battery,put it back & try to turn it on..but nothing happened.
I tried to go into recovery (volume down+power) but it still wont turn on..
Also i tried to use ADB but my phone not detected..

The phone wont turn on,nothing on the screen,LED light not blinking (even when i connect to PC or wall charger)

Please let me know if you guys got any suggestion or even better if there is a solution..

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

Yep, it was because stock was incompatible with that fw, happened to me two weeks ago when I got my sensation and I started tinkering, I flashed opensensation and I was good to go

so if i do the same process and go flash the new rom right after flashing the fw. i shouldnt have a problem right?

What rom were you running when this happened?

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

Yes you should be fine, just make a backup of stock in case something goes wrong when you flash your first rom
