Hey all. Just recently, or the last few times I've tried to back up my rom to try another, when my phone goes into recovery, I just get a black screen and therefore can't see what's going on. Does the same when I flash another rom but it still flashes, so I'll get my rom, but I just can't see what's going on. I thought it was my version of recovery but I tried another version and it did the same. Any ideas?
Thanks all.

It seems the problem is with recovery, right?
Have you tried reinstalling the recovery via rom manager?
As in reflashing CWM? I just tried it yeah, same results.

Is the screen completely black? Do you see any backlight?
Try 4ext recovery

Sorry for the late reply, had no internet access. Bootloader is also blackscreened, and 4Ext doesn't work...
Hi, I have same problem.. Black screen in recovery and during the boot. When the system boots, screen is OK. Sometimes i have also blackscreen when I want to use HW keyboard. I tried 4ext, reflash older versions of CW but still the same. I can see a screen through Android Screen Monitor and I can cotrol it. But phone is blak, only backlight. Can somebody say, how to solve this issue? Thanks
I have exact the same problem as described here. My bootloader and recovery screen stays black without backlight but with lighted capacitive buttons. I tried different versions of CWM and 4EXT and the problems is the same. During normal boot and phone usage the screen if fine.
I can't exactly recall when it started to happen, but I could flash CM nightly 263 without these problems and two days ago I found the problem about the black screen.
Anybody here has a possible solution to this problem?

Does anyone have an answer to this? I bought a Desire Z off eBay - as far as I can tell it's stock - and this problem is driving me nuts. I also get an issue where sometimes the phone won't wake up straight away and I have to press the on/off switch quite a few times - the lights come on at the bottom of the screen but the screen stays black. The phone also won't wake properly if I slide it to wake it. However, it feels like a software issue rather than (say) a screen hardware issue as if I plug a charger in to wake the phone up, it does so immediately, every time.
Please, please help! I'm slowly going insane with this.

Does anyone else have a problem whereby on their Desire's screen will appear lines and the pixels will all turn multicoloured somehow, and then it will come back? I'm having this with a MIUI ROM right now, and after it goes away, I have to wait for ages and then it gets to some sort of loading screen before rebooting. This repeats, even though I've tried everything like clearing user settings etc. My phone is rooted and S-OFF, and I'm using Clockwork 2.5.0.7. It's AMOLED (I never had this problem on my SLCD before Three replaced it with an AMOLED just to piss me off...)
Edit: This has also happened on other ROMS including but not limited to Cyanogen. As long as my phone boots, there is nothing wrong with it...
I have no idea if i have the same problem as you but when i install cyanogen 6.2 RC1 and bootup the phone, i get the htc logo and it fades away in a weird way. Then after that a few dozen colored vertical stripes appear .... its like the screen is broken. Then the phone reboots and is stuck at the htc logo.
I have no problems with cyanogenmod 6.02 (stable)
Any ideas. Its a desire slcd rooted with unrevoked and clockwork. Could it have to do with the radiorom? According to the cyanogen wiki my rom version is the most recent but i doubt that. Its still the stock radiorom but a recent one.

Yes, I got exactly the same thing with Cyanogen. I'll try installing a different radio version when I get home and report back.

Well I've now tried a number of radios but none of them have helped... Is your phone S-OFF? Is it from Three UK? Also interesting is the fact that it eventually boots but comes up with 'process system is not responding', and after waiting a bit it just reboots itself, and repeats the whole process...
Edit: After 5 month passes I have hope that somebody came across this
problem as well in the meantime. It's quite annyoing not to see the screen
during boot and recovery since I'm flashing roms quite often.
Thank you in advance for any feedback.

It seems I'm the only one having that kind of problem. :-(
Hi Everybody,
somthing very strange happend to me. I hope you can help me. After I broke
my AMOLED Screen, I replaced it with a new one. (Yes I ensured, that it is
an AMOLED and NOT a SLCD). After reassembling, everything seemed to work
fine. The Desire boots first with green HTC splash screen and then with my
monster boot animation from InsertCOIN. But then, after second reboot the screen remains black.
I could feel the vibration, so the phone seemed to start but no splash screen and no boot animation.
When the boot is finished, I can activate the screen by double pressing the power button.
After that, phone works ok without any flaws. However, when I reboot, same procedure again.
The screen remains black until the boot is finished. OK, phone is working but it is annoying that I can't
go into HBOOT or Recovery mode. Actually I found a work around by using Androidscreencast to go into
recovery and flash roms, but I'd like to do it from the phone direct without casting the screen to my PC.
After some investigation I found an issue with probably wrong display driver, but that's purely related to SLCD Desire.
Anyway I tried to flash the latest RUU and rerooted in order to see if it makes any difference. But no change.
I even tried to replug the display connector to the main PCB in the phone. Nothing helps.
Now I hope the community has an idea.
By the way I had Bootloader 0.75 before reflashing RUU. Now it is 0.93. I'm currently running InsertCOIN 2.0 with A2SD.
Thank you in advance for any useful hint beyond what I tried so far.
Cheers

Hey guys,
I'm having a rather strange issue, that seems to have happened overnight. Between yesterday and today, my phone started to act funny out of the blue - random reboots, shut-offs. I figured I might as well try a new rom, and tried booting into recovery mode. To my surprise, it wouldn't work. The phone hangs at the white screen that says "htc" in green. Any idea how I can get back into recovery?
I'm running CyanogenMod 6.1.1.
Thanks.
Try installing ROM Manager from the Market and reflashing the recovery image from there.
No dice, unfortunately Is there a way to force flash somehow? I seem to be stuck. Even factory reset doesn't work :/
If you are using official recovery 3.0.0.5 have you tried turning phone completely off and then plug in your power cable? It shouldn't even boot into the htc screen but go straight to recovery.
Just a thought and goodluck

Just tried that - the led turns orange and the phone seems to stay off, but actually freezes. Unless I pull the battery, it won't turn on.
Damn. Don't know what to say. Adb maybe?
Good luck

Well this isn't strange at all. I can flash recovery 2.5.1.3 and all is well (I can get to recovery mode, etc.). It won't let me flash 2.5.1.4. And with 3.0.0.5 I have the same issues as in the initial post -.-
So I was at school and I turned my phone off to conserve battery but after trying to turn it back for about an hour I gave up,
the back light for the display works fine but nothing shows up on the screen does anyone know what the problem is?
ROM:Sonygen 10
Kernel:Lupus 4.1&4.2
no flash tool either
Don't say use flash tool either because I already tried and it doesn't do anything after trying to flash to stock

Finally when pushed power button only vibrate, but systems started (heard sound from ps1 boot) and after feel respond when touched screen.

Ok so, I have been running Hyperdrive RLS16 for quite sometime now with no issues, going on approx 6 months now. Love the rom. Just today out of nowhere my phone started timing out. By timing out I mean, screen started going black as if I was closing it when I was in the middle of using it. This proceeded to happen for at least 15 minutes meanwhile it was constantly rebooting itself as well. After about 15 mins of reboots and screen timeouts, it got to where the phone would not stay on. it would boot up, then when i started using it it would reboot again. So after a battery pull, sd card pull and sim card pull I restarted it and since it seems to be doing ok for the moment. I immediately backed up my rom in clockword mod recovery through rom manager, backed up all my apps and created an update.zip in titanium backup. I downloaded the stockmod slim rom t999 4.3 v3 and the uvuemj4 modem that it requires for data and was gunna try and flash it and everytime i boot into recovery and try to select an option to pick, it randomly starts selecting things and jumping all over the place and then reboots. wont let me wipe data factory reset, or wipe dalvick or cache. wont even let me choose the rom or modem to flash. I tried to update my version of clockwork mod, and nothing. Tried to download goo manager and try twrp but it wont go into twrp it stays in clockwork mod and does the same. Im so confused on what to do to fix this and would like to flash a new rom to see if it will fix my screen timeouts and reboots but I cant get recovery to cooperate in order to do that. Can anyone help me? PLEASE!!!! I thought maybe if i try clockwork mod touch that it may fix the problem, but even if i download it how can i flash it if recovery isint cooperating?:crying::crying::crying:

It sounds like there would be a problem with your digitizer. Or motherboard. Either way it sounds expensive to fix.

The touch response is working fine though, and the buttons work fine. But it randomly scrolls all over the place in recovery and selects things on its own even when Im just holding it in my hand pressing nothing. I have the regular clockwork mod recovery not the touch installed. I have to scroll with the volume buttons and select with the power button. But even when im not pressing either it just goes in ghost mode and starts selecting stuff. Its crazy!! Is there a problem with my version of recovery? 6.0.4.3

I don't use cwm so I wouldn't know. But your didgitizer could still act like its working fully and still be broken. Idk man.

ok well thanks man for your help. Would the digitizer be causing the random reboots as well?

Can you boot download mode? Odin flash stock firmware. If it continues then it may be a hardware problem.
i havent tried to do that. But i did do a factory reset from my settings instead of through recovery. I did lose quite a bit of stuff because it deleted my backups in titanium and etc but my recovery is working now. No more ghost mode selecting everything. But my phone is still doing the random reboots

Earlier I too felt this type of auto touch in my other device and I figured out that this was happening due to some radio interference at some particular time and particular place which was near a radio station
Whenever I go away or that station time was over it will be working correctly
May be something like this happening just for your information to make sure
