[Q] Suddenly broken screen? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Today I woke up at 02:00am first - My phone started vibrating all over the time, from hard to low. (hard vibrate, low vibrate, medium, short pause, low vibrate...) So my phone acted really strange. I just pull out the battery because it didn't react to any button and continued with sleeping.
Today I tried to start it. I've heard a short vibrate, and that was it. I even can't see any charging light when I plug my cellphone in. But then I connected my phone to my computer, and tada, adb works. So i've installed a VNC app over adb and then I've connected to my phone, and I've seen that Sense and everything works. So the handy itself is still working, but the screen is just black and all the touch buttons don't react. Also the charging light is "dead". What happened? It didn't fell or something like that.
Also my phone is rooted, with custom recovery and custom ROM. I've got still garantuee - So what should I do now?
Greetings

Hmm...it doesnt look good.
Did you have your CPU overclocked?
EDIT: It seems like the LCD screen and the digitizer have broke. Unless you want to try to replace them yourself which is possible but very fiddly, you may have to send it back. First though lets see what others say.

No, it was always at 998Mhz, which is the standard clockrate. I'm not a fan of overclocking - I really loved this smartphone and I didn't risk things like overclocking
I also thought about sending it back, but the question is what should I do before sending it back? And how? (Deflashing, S-ON...?)
Greetings

Sending it back in its current state may be a problem because your mods will have voided the warranty.

A possible solution is to use the s-off tool to revert back to s-on and standard cid . Then using adb, push pd98img.zip onto the sdcard. Then "adb reboot bootloader" and I believe it will flash the stock rom (pd98img) automatically.
Then you'll be unrooted and free .
HOWEVER DON'T TAKE THIS AT FACE VALUE, WAIT FOR OTHERS TO CONFIRM FIRST .

Really good idea so far. The only problem is, the pd198.zip would be read and after that you must press a few keystrokes. Power off/on and the volume keys are still working, so that isn't a problem. I just need a friendly guy who can tell me when I must press which key

You can try to flash an original RUU. As far as i know there is no need to press a button on the phone.
You said adb works?
Try:
Adb reboot bootloader. Then wait a bit.
Run an official RUU and follow the steps. You should be good to go then.
But there is one thing: do you had radio s-off and super cid before? If so, you should run jkoljos radio tool and revert to stock cid and s-off again.
Then reboot to bootloader and continue with the steps i mentioned above

Does a RUU replace my custom recovery (ClockWorkMod) with the original HTC one? And is the RUU with the .exe right for that time? Or must I have an PD98.img? Which one should I take, I bought it unbranded: http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs/

Yes, recovery should be replaced.
I'd say take the 1.32.405.6 wwe. This is the last rootable OTA and your DHD probably came with it.

The radio S-OFF tool didn't work. Always unknown error - And i've found the reason, before I can S-ON it, I have to do this:
"Flash stock ROM (RUU, not over 1.7)"
And that will be... amazingly hard. I've got all these mods:
SuperCID
Radio S-OFF
Engineering S-OFF
Custom Recovery
Custom ROM
My actual idea, it would be great if someone can confirm me it is in the right order:
Changing CID & Radio S-ON
Thats my big problem! It doesn't work with my actual ROM. I need to downgrade - But how? Clockwork Mod has annoying "Are you sure" selections like: "Flash? No, No, No, Yes, No, No" - Impossible to find that out without a display. And I can't flash any ROM, because I need adb checked by default - Otherwise I won't have access again to shell, and without shell I can't start my VNC Server, and without all that I can't do anything more and must send it like that to the garantuee. I've found an http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939982 Raidroid ROM, with standard ADB if I understand that right. But how should I flash it?
Restoring H-Boot and Recovery
Code:
adb shell
su (if you get permission denied, you have to do Visionary temproot)
getprop ro.cid (this will tell you your stock CID, we will use that later, so write it down. It has eight digits.)
busybox dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 (it will replace clockworkmod with original recovery)
busybox dd if=/sdcard/hboot_original.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (ONLY if you had ENG S-OFF, it will give you back SHIP bootloader)
sync (wait 10 secs after that, then you can close the adb shell window)
Flashing RUU
Everything should be away now... After all that everything should be allright and I can give my phone to guarantee.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Did you find this out?
Did not notice any vibration, but otherwise I have the same problem. able only to see the screen image in daylight. When I tilt it.
Only volume and on / off button that works.
If this is a hardware problem, it will not mean anything to the warranty if it is rooted or not. In order for HTC to say it it must be a connection between the problem and the reason for it.

if you can see screen i day light then your backlight and digitizer is broken also rooting your phone void the warranty no matter what..... if you can see the screen in light you should be able to restore its original rom, and send it back to htc.

Thank you for your response. You've probably absolutely right.
The screen is so weak that I hardly see anything.
Is there anything I can do to be able to see more, for example to connect to my PC?

Automated way to unroot your myTouch 4G (difficulty level 1)

So I am moving onto a new phone so I will not be supporting this thread anymore. Please help each other the best you can. Also if anyone wants to take over and support this thread feel free. Last but not least if anyone wants to use any of the items I put into this also feel free. Remember that android is made possible with contrbutions from viewers like you!
Sorry but I no longer have the files that were in the zip as my laptop that they were on no longer has a charger so I really don't have a way to pull them off until I come up with extra funds to buy a charger for that dinosaur!
This is a way to unroot only if you have followed the gfree method.
I have included my part7back up because I used it for two phones other then the one it was orginally pulled from and it restored s=on with no problem. Now I can not promise you that this will not completely eff up your device but like I said it has worked on the ones I've tested. llontop.m has used it for his device also and it worked no problem.
This will return you phone to stock (out of the box) with very little effort.
WARNING THIS COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE TRY AT YOUR OWN WILL!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN!!!
Please note I rezipped the files with 7zip so there shouldnt be any issues unzipping now
1. To use this simply download the zip and extract the two items to the root of your sdcard (ones a folder with three files in it and ones the PD15IMG)
2. Open terminal and type
su (press enter)
cd /sdcard/unroot (press enter)
sh unroot.sh (press enter
3. Let it work.
Some times at the end it will boot into fastboot rather then hboot. If this happens just scroll to bootloader and boot into it.
Hopefully this works for you all!!!
if you would like to continue to type the commands your self and use your own part7backup (although its not needed) could still follow my old guide.
Great work jjjackson56!
I've given this a try and so far everything is back to stock..Keep up the good work..

Oh ok thanks. So no need to go into clockwork recovery and restore a stock rom? all i have to do is put that file in my sdcard, reboot to bootloader and just let it load? thanks again
tried every method, no matter what i still have PVT SHIP S-OFF. Dont know why my S wont come back on. It says in terminal that its successfull whatever then to reboot to check if S-ON, but its still off. I know i've followed the correct steps. Do you think bestbuy will check for S-OFF if i just go and return it? i've returned my Nexus S before but i wasnt sure if they even booted into fastboot or not. What do you guys think?
this is what my screen says:
GLACIER PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.86.0000
MICROP-0429
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

wowowowow. LOL. after trying everything i finally got S-ON!!! YES!!!!!!!
anywhoo, this will help for those who are just stuck, and no matter what it wont turn s back on!
I followed the same steps that Grankin01 posted but he forgot to mention a crucial step in his Reverting steps. you have to type in chmod 777 to make it execute.(he didnt include it in reverting steps, therefor when you went to the next step it just says "permission denied")
i did as follows.
1. Rename the part7backup file that you already have to something just so you know that it is the original backup.
2. Open up terminal emulator or adb shell and type "su" + enter to get root privileges.
3. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter.
3.5 Type "chmod 777 gfree" and hit enter to make the program executable.
4. Now type "./gfree -f" + enter to run gfree again. It will disable wp on the emmc and remove the brq filter in the kernel. (as well as make another backup, which you can delete if you wish)
5. Now run the "dd if=/where/your/part7backup-numbers.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" and it should show the output:
xxxx bytes in
xxxxbytes out
xxxxxxxxxx copied in blah blah blah
Finally worked for me after a week and a half with no responses on trying to put s back on. i hope it helps some people who couldnt get it working
@cdw9800 if you return a brick they wont be able to tell if s=on or s=off. I returned a mytouch3g brick that was rooted custom rom everything and never had any issuses.
@Nivek91 no just boot into bootloader no need to boot into anything else.
Nice! Making our lives a lot easier.

This is not a true "unrooting" process.
This only turns s=on.
Which be careful if you are using a not factory ROM this will thrown your phone for a loop. Since the security protocol will be looking for the stock image.

That is incorrect this reverts the gfree process thus turning radio s=on then once its done it boots you into bootloader to flash the PD15IMG which flashes stock spl recovery and rom

Believe what you want. I was running Cyanogen's CM6.1.2RC2, stored the PD15IMG on my SDcard and booted into bootloader and it reverted back to a stock fashion. didn't even bother with the unroot.sh.
and ./gfree is different than s=off/s=on... you can flash custom ROMs or any flash-able .zip via the recovery w/o having done the ./gfree...
and i've done the "sh unroot.sh" and it's done nothing but turn s=on.

Cool but this is for those that used g-free. I've done the straight flash from the bootloader and I never got S-ON, it just returned me to stock like you stated. But many people here need to get it back to complete stock so they can get their returns/exchanges done legit style

returning to stock

Hello All,
my desire hd recently decided to break down (the volume rocker wont work, wifi and bluetooth).. althought its still under warranty and i would like to restore it back to normal before i bring it back to vodafone..
however since the volume rocker wont work, how can i restore back to stock rom? or am i really sc**wed? i believe i am, unless proven wrong?
thank you in advance
You don't really need the volume rocker to get back to stock. Here's some short instructions from this thread. Remember to use a branded RUU if your phone was branded when you got it.
jkoljo said:
To go back to S-ON(/STOCK):
Flash stock ROM (RUU)
Temproot using Visionary
Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
Enjoy your factory-state phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
sorry to disturb you again
but to restore the stock rom, i need to get into bootloader,
i cant select stuff from the boot loader as the volume rocker doesnt work?
is there a way i can get around this?
thanks
If I remember correctly there's no need to get to the bootloader. You run the RUU on the computer with the phone connected to HTC Sync.
Sent from my RCMix powered pocketsized supercomputer using XDA App
That is true. Another option is to connect your device to a PC, get my radio s-off tool (for example), go to it's folder in command line and type command "adb.exe reboot bootloader".
If all you want is to get into recovery, you can use Rom Manager to boot you into recovery.

[Q] How to do S-On with not working touchscreen

Hi
I would like to know is it possible to do S-On and unroot Desire HD with not responding touchscreen? Without it i can't turn on USB Debugging to run Jokljo's tool (Easy Radio Tool v2.2) to go back to S-on. First time was unsuccesfull. I still have S-Off, SuperCid. Only ClockworkMod has been removed. Even original recovery hasn't restored. When I go there only an orange triangle with exclamation mark appears.
I have to go back to stock to give guarantee for.
I returned to stock Rom with CWM-nandroid restore. Before that I was trying other Roms but touchscreen still was dead. I think it is hardware issue. I don't know why. It occured after reboot because I had problem with GSM Network which turned alternately off and on.
Can anyone help?
Run a stock HTC RUU and it will restore everything except Radio S-OFF, (I wouldn't worry about that)

ohh dear... display r.i.p......
the only one thing that happens to me its go to recovery and go with te buttons to "mounts and storage" enable the "usb mount" option... copy and paste from your pc an official rom without root (look at for it in XDA files)...
when you flashes an official rom you loose the root access (sure)
for to go back to s-on you need the display... But with luck in the technical service they will not realize

But I don't have recovery at all. Easy radio tool removed Clockworkmod Recovery and didn't restore original. I have no recovery. That is the problem. Plus dead touchscreen...
I thought that is possible to revert to stock with adb shell. Somehow...
Download a RUU (ROM Update Utility) and run it from your PC, easy. You only need to plug in your phone and switch it on.

for use an adb shell you must to have a CWM rec. or put your device in usb debugging.
if there´s not another mode you can´t use android sdk

Should I try newest Rom? I.e RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3? What do U think?
There's nothing you can do about it now, since you need root for S-ON, and only way you can do it currently is with visionary tool(there's no way to gain root via your computer ATM, and probably it won't be developed), and you need your touchscreen for that... Install the RUU which your phone came with when you bought it, send it to tech service, and pray that they won't look/ignore that it's S-OFF...

[Q] Hardware vol up button dead, wifi Error - now I can't restore stock ROM

Today I developed two problems:
1) Wifi would no longer switch on - it keeps saying Error.
2) Hardware button Volume up no longer works.
I've cleared cache, dvalik cache, re-flashed the ROM (ARHD 5.1.9), re-flashed the radio but none of this helped so I finally decided to restore the phone to it's original state and take the phone in for warranty repair.
From what I can gather, I need to downgrade my phone using PD98IMG.zip then I can perform an OTA update to get the latest stock ROM. Once done, I need to restore SPL (not sure how to do that bit yet).
Unfortunately, restoring PD98IMG.zip requires the use of the Volume Up key which no longer works.
Does anyone know how I can restore my phone to a stock ROM without the volume up key and how do I restore the SPL? I only see information for the Desire, not the Desire HD.
you can try an RUU, which is a .exe file, so all you need to do is plug your phone into the computer, and run the .exe. It'll install the stock ROM for you.
Here are some RUU ... LINK (andyharney's site)

Will a stock ROM also restore the SPL?
yes, i believe so...

I'm not sure if SPL is back to normal but the phone looks like stock from About Info so I'll take it back to the shop under warranty and get them to sort out the volume button and wifi issue.
Thanks CodeNameUnknown
ur welcome ... Ofcourse if you have S-OFF (radio or ENG) then you need to make it S-ON.
otherwise, you can take it right back
I can't seem to restore S-ON:
You can revert back to original hboot manually by: (adb shell or terminal emulator)
su
busybox dd if=/sdcard/hboot_original.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

I've done this but my bootloader still says: ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF.
I have two other files hboot_eng.nb0 and hboot_check.nb0.
This does the trick

[Q] Problem with Desire Z

Hi folks,
i´ve a problem with a Desire Z from a friend.
Every time when the phone boots, it stops at the HTC Logo.
I think it´s bricked
Is there any possible to flash the Rom (like Odin on Samsung Android Phones)
Thanks
If you power the phone off, then holding down the volume button, press the power button. Does the Hboot screen come up?
Also, you don't give a heck of a lot of info. Is the phone rooted, and/or S-Off? If not, then no, you can't flash a custom ROM.
But you may be able to flash the official ROM from Hboot.
the H Boot screen is this with "bootloader, reboot" and something with the 3 androids ?
when its that, i come into the hboot screen .. i did try the "factory reset" but it hangs on the 3 androids at the middle of the screen
EDIT: The Phone is not rooted, S-on stands there
but how can i flash a official ROM ?
i found one, but it recognize the phone
Since you are not rooted and S-On, you need to use the official ROM that matches your carrier ID (CID).
What ROM did you try?
If you want help, you need to supply as much information as possible. Not just "I tried a ROM".
Seeing as the phone is unrooted, it's unlikely that it's bricked from a user error.
At a guess, it's a Hardware issue, there's a thread here about it.
I had this same issue with my phone, it started freezing completely, and I had to do a battery pull to restart and it would just hang at the htc logo.
Seeing as you don't have clockwork mod though, you won't be able to see the Cache mounting errors, though you should be able to run the adb commands to find the name of your eMMC card if you have adb installed.

Its possible, but also highly speculative. Damage to the ROM, or the ROM missing may also cause the same issue (stuck on boot splash).

You're in (possibly) better shape then the OP. Try flashing any known good ROM from Hboot/recovery. Preferably a rooted ROM, if you want to stay rooted.
But its possible you may have something more going on than a bad ROM file, like mentioned in post #5 above.
i couldn´t find a tutorial how to flash the desire Z im H-Boot mode ?
can u give me a tutorial !?
