[Q] CM7 Mod, unlocking problem - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
When I try to unlock my Desire I have a problem. I press the power button, and the screen flashes on, and then straight off again. The keys at the bottom are still lit and I have to press the power button twice before I get the unlock screen up again. SOmetimes I only have to do this once, but sometimes I have to do it many, many times before I can unlock the phone.
I have tried using different lock screens, different options etc but they all seem to have the same problem.
Can anyone help?

Are you using CM7 stable version or nightly build?

I'm using the stable version.

Turn off fastboot in Settings > Power.
Well did it help?

Can't see a Power option in the settings menu, is it in CyanogenMod settings? Or some else within Settings menu?

Press menu, tap settings -> Power
Its not there?
Im on different ROM right now, but it should be there.
If its not there try to look in Settings -> Applications

Been though all teh settings screens and I can not find any option to turn off fastboot.
I have just checked what version of CyanogenMod I'm running and it looks like I'm running the release candidate rather than the stable version.
I'm going to try to install teh stable evrsion and see if it makes a difference.

Nah, just ask in CyanogenMod thread where you turn off fastboot, i cannot quite remember where it was exactly.
But im sure this is causing the issues you described.

Optical Trackball not working in recovery and stuck in the HTC boot logo

I don't know what to do because my device is currently not booting. The device is stuck at the HTC logo for a very long time (both when booting normaly or going in to revovery). The device finaly is finished booting in like 10 min. , but when it is finnished booting the touch on the screen doesn't work, it keeps a black background and it says no service. In revovery on the otherhand the optical trackball doesn't work anymore, the hardware button does tho because the first option "Reboot system now" does work.
What should I Do???

Have you tried using the volume up / down buttons for moving around the menus and power button for select in recovery?

The volume up/down buttons dont work in recovery
Now its just stuck in a bootloop .
And there is no way of wiping the device, because the trackball isn't working.
hep would be greatly appreciated
The first thing I would try is to remove the SD card and see if your phone boots.
If that doesn't work. Have you tried putting fake flash on your SD and booting into recovery on that to test your trackpad?
Why has it started playing up in the first place? Did you have a bad flash? A wee bit of the history of your device might help to find out what's going on.

the trackball isn't working in the fakeflash. The whole problem didn't happen after a bad flash, but it just went in a bootloop when i tried to put it on this morning. I was running Defrost 1.4
You don't need trackball in the fakeflash. You navigate there using volume up and down. It should work. Try .
How about resetting it by doing the following.
Switch it off, or remove battery > Hold volume down and power button > wait a few seconds > use volume to go to clear storage > power button to select. This doesn't involve going into recovery so your buttons might work there.
Can't you get into the bootloader mode with vol. down + power and wipe it there?
Edit: Few secs too late heh

You need the trackpad to select the option after choosing it with volume up/down.

No, it says clear...... and then it just restarts the bootloop
The fake-flash worked!!!!!!!
I deleted everthing there but now, when I boot up the device it boot up straight into fastboot
You could try now using an ruu to flash. Or try getting into recovery and see if you can use the buttons now.
I'll try a ruu, but the recovery still wont work

The Ruu doesn't boot past the quietly brilliant signiture.

Im having the same issue. Phone locked up pulled the battery and phone stuck on HTC boot logo. Can get into recovery but no buttons are working so i cant recover. That actually happened before but i could get it sorted by flashing using rom manager as i could boot the rom.... Where can you get fake flash?

version I currently have, maybe not the newest (0.14), but works just fine.

tiny MASSIVE problem.

Hey everyone, I've been using custom roms since they first appeared on these forums. This said, i have come across a huge issue.
I was on a 2.2.1 rom and something was screwy with the radio so i flashed the right radio files, which didnt help. So after this i thought the issue must be deeper in the rom, so i decided to install one of the other roms i had that i knew worked. This now leaves me with a unbootable phone (goes to the point of blue android text) the animation stops and the screen flashes. The animation then restarts, it does this indefinitely.
I can boot into recovery and flash mode just fine. However interestingly in recovery i cant 'click' the hidden hide button in the bottom right to perform a wipe etc. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
thanks
Dave.
The "hidden button" doesn't work on 2.2 so to get into recovery screen when you see the android logo press the volume up & volume down buttons both at the same time. This will take you to the recovery screen where you use the volume button to highlight an action & then press the power button once to confirm it.
I feel so stupid.
Thankyou so much mate. I owe you a beer. +1 internets.
Solved!

Cyanogen Mod stuck at splash screen after flashing

Just a quick post to all of you who are having this issue. This may be a repost, but I'll give the solution anyway.
If you have this issue after flashing Cyanogen Mod 6.1 or 7 just perform these simple steps to correct it.
First (if you haven't already), remove your battery, it won't hurt anything.
Second, replace the battery, hold down the volume down bottom and press the power button once.
(You may release the volume button once the bootloader screen appears)
Third, wait until it checks the MicroSD card for an update file, then using the volume down button, highlight "Clear Storage" and hit the power button once.
Once it reboots Cyanogen should load right up. Hope this helps someone!
Just wanted to say I believe its volume down + power to access the bootloader. Hope this helps.

Your absolutely correct! That was my mistake. Thanks for the warning.
No problem. Good info to know though. I've never really had any problems with CM7 but I've wondering if clearing data in bootloader as opposed to recovery might work as well.

I know a lot of people have had this problem. But not all, I guess its subjective.
But I have definitely had this problem, both with version 6.1 and with 7.
I love the Cyanogen Mod! What a difference that makes with Android.
The main reason I switched was because I wanted ad-hoc network options.
I soon realized it was so much more than that though!

I have followed these instructions but it either takes me back to the HTC Incredible splash screen (and hangs again) or to a Clockwork menu (black background with orange text). Either way my Incredible is still not booting back up. Help?

I'll be glad to help you. I don't have an Incredible anymore, but this is fairly universal.
Okay, so what have you done so far, give me the steps you used to flash CM.
Also what version of Clockwork and Cyanogen Mod are you using?
Do i need to wipe before flashing rom?
I have tried miui and CM7 both and after it gets down it gets stuck running the bootloader image. I just got the phone rooted and want to try a rom out, but i am having troubles...
Is good Rom cyanogen?,have htc sense 3.5?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Q] Welcome screen and Lock screen missing after flashing STOCK ROM

Hey! Need some help if possible. I was messing around with my Captivate Glide. Tried to install some other ROM's but all of them made the phone lost the baseband and IMEI (EFS). I tried restoring the EFS using EFS Pro Tool, but my phone is not being recognized while on CM 11. I decided just to flash back to stock, using the I927UCLJ3_I927ATTLJ3_ATT (which was the only ROM that was showing up the IMEI and got connectivity).
Something that's been bugging me is that after doing all this, the phone boots normally, but there was no welcome screen, it just jumped straight to the main menu without asking for the google account. On top of that, the power button no longer shows the options it did before (reboot, power off). With one press it powers off the screen. If I press it for 2 seconds the phone turns off. There's no even a lock screen on my phone. I've been unable to set lock screen security options. Any options that I select are useless. They do show up under settings, but they don't do anything.
I've been trying everything to get this options back, but I'm not sure how to. I've already flashed my phone to stock, tried with other ROMS, using the same I927ATTLJ3 as reference (since it's the only one that shows the IMEI for me) but nothing. It was showing on CM11 though, all power options where working, as well as the lock screen options. I'm desperate now.
Any help on this?

Have you factory reset your phone? That described things can happen especially when switching between ROMs

Display does not (immediately) turn on after pressing power button

Hi!
When pressing the power button sometimes only the navigation lights turn on but the screen stays black but is activated (meaning I can type and control it blindly). To get the display illuminated again I need to press power twice (to turn display off and again on). This happens as far as tested every three times I sent the phone to sleep locking it. This is happening immediately after installing any ROM. I will test whether this happens also while in Recovery. If, does that mean it is a hardware issue?
Device: I9195
ROM: AOKP Nougat (before I updated to newest stock ROM available)
Recovery: TWRP
Any ideas? I searched the forum but did not find something so far.
Thank you!
we need more info to help you.. which rom are you using?
