[elezaregilsja]

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.
