[Q] HTC Sensation totally BRICKED! Help please

[MarcMS82]

Hi everybody! I have a BIG problem here with my HTC Sensation z710e. It's totally bricked, and I can't understand why. Don't power on when I press the power button, and no LED when I pull it on AC, totally dead. I'm going to explain what last things I did, I hope it can be useful. First of all, the phone ran incredibly good, everything OK, I was really happy with it, and I didn't anything for brick it, so that's why I can not understand why it's bricked. I was using Venom ViperS ROM 1.4.0, with Anthrax Kernel 3.6.4 @1512Mhz. Last things I did, flash an entire 3.33 firmware, because I had the 1.29.0000 HBOOT, and I prefered to have the 1.27.1100. All OK, I flashed the firmware, the HBOOT did all perfectly, and it reboots. When I entered to Fastboot, all was OK. It says, Revolutionary HBOOT 1.27.0000, S-OFF, the latest Radio.... All perfect! The I did a Swap partition in my SD, I activated with Swapper2, all OK. I rebooted a few times, for test my new kernel and swap partition... and all ok!

The last thing I did, a day after, was install a Market APP, called "Startup Cleaner", and I use that for remove a few apps from the start, apps with no importance, like facebook, some game, things like that. And here goes all... I did a reboot from power menu, too see how much it changes it, and the phone didn't make the reboot, it starts with fastboot menu... and under "Revolutionary" it says "Security Warning". And now it says S-ON... wtf????? Why S-ON???
I powered off the phone, and it didn't on anymore. I know it's bricked because when i plug to PC with the USB cable, it says QHUSB_DLOAD.

What could happen here? Why it shows S-ON and security warning? Is there something I can do?
Thanks a lot for reading me!

Don´t know what happend, but a while ago there was a fix for the QHUSB_DLOAD-Brick!

The unbricking isn´t simple, when I remember correctly. But atleast it is worth a try.


Edit:
Here you go...

Good luck!

Hi friend, thanks for your reply!

First of all, I don't speak or write in english since I left school, many years ago, and I refuse to use a translator. So it's possible I write some illogical words, or I express like a Sioux Indian so accept my apologies... I will study for improve that, I promise! Feel free to correct me if I write some barbarity!

Returning to phone's issue, I saw this thread of UnBrick before, and it sounds hopeful! By the way, this afternoon I went to the Orange shop, and they will send the Sensation to SAT. I said to the guy there, this morning the phone don't power on, and I didn't make something, and I never touched the system or installed some suspicious software, like I never heard words like 'root' 'rom' 'recovery' 'unlock' and all this. I'll cross fingers! and if it doesn't works, I'll try the method of that thread... BTW, I'm still angry because i dunno why the phone shows the S-ON advice before power off. Its very strange, in what moment it turns to S-ON with no action from me?

Okay, thanks a lot for your help mate!

Hey,

I really can't tell what triggered that behavior. Sounds really strange.

My fingers are crossed, that you will get a free swap! Please let me know.

By the way, I'm not a native speaker either, so there is no need for you to apologize

Hi I Hope you get your phone fixed or swapped soon. Very strange what happened to it. Perhaps some how the application you installed did it? Not sure but I wanted to wish you luck and let you know your English is very good! Very clear! I'm hoping for the best for you!

Hey! Sorry I've been out some days... I'm very proud to say who I'm the lucky owner of a Samsung Galaxy Ace:silly: hahaha only for a few days, people from Orange lent me one while my Sensation is in SAT. I suspect the problem was the SWAP partition. Swapper mades a modification in /dev/block/i-don't-remember-where, and then appears fastboot with the famous message of "Security Warning" and S-ON and all of that ****... Well, it's useless to think more about that. Thaks all for your help and your encourages!

I can't believe my luck! Today I've gone to get my Sensation to the SAT, and they have changed the motherboard and the camera!! They said me the phone got a hardware error and that's because the phone don't power off. I have a half new phone now, and new IMEI too. I'll wait some time and if I haven't any error, I'll root another time. HBOOT 1.27.0000, S-ON, and stock RUU from Orange Spain, like the beginning. Thanks all for your help!
