First off, this has nothing to do with android development, it belongs in the Q&A section.
Secondly, you can get into recovery without your touch screen just fine. While your phone is off, hold vol down + power, which will bring you into hboot. Use vol down to highlight recovery, and then press power to select it.
If you do not have s-off, you will see a screen with a !. Press vol up + power, and flash update.zip (assuming you have clockwork update.zip on the root of your sd card), and then proceed to reflash your rom.
If you do have s-off, the hboot recovery option should take you straight into recovery.
WTF I have the same problem! It just ramdomly started yesterday, I touchscreem wouldn't work on opened keyboad and today afternoon I was typing something, after I closed the keyboard the touch screen doesn't work anymore!!!

This should be moved to another thread, Nothing to do with Android development
Ok DO NOT RE-FLASH A NEW ROM if your are in this situation!!!!
because I tried it and still touch planel doesn't work and I was stuck at the setup!!, thank God I recently saved a Nandroid backup, but when i went to ClockworkMod the optical track pad is no longer working neighter!!!
so I couldn't select anything!
I went to cmd on my PC and did adb shell then nandroid restore {location in sdcard}
it restored oh yes!
Optical Track Pad aiin't working neighter touch panel, like this i can hardly make calls with the keyboard, launch apps, but can't handle things that require touch or optical pad.... I can only use Tab button and enter to do little.
Fu...I need to revert everything back to stock adn get my waranty replacement..
why this had to happen?? I haven't done anything these past week :S
This happened to me also I posted my thread in q&a i believe tho, anyways tho my power button stopped working so i couldn't get into recovery. If you need a way to get back to stock without touch screen use the esprimg.zip from the factory rom champion build thread just search for it on xda. after going stock mine was still not working but I was atleast able to do a warranty exchange. hope this helps at all. Oh also this happened to me soon after flashing to CM7.
The same happend to mine a few months ago, your flex ribbon has torn, you have to send it into T-Mobile for an exchange!
Also, wrong forum

Not sure if its the same issue or not. But my screen will become unresponsive and soon after which ever launcher I am using will crash. Also using CM7. Was running nightly build before. Hmmm strange all of a sudden several of our phones started crashing..
You can still slide open and use the physical keyboard to select things...however I would get the stock esprimg on your device as soon as possible. Your ribbon could tear even more and leave you with a black screen and no luck of getting a replacement if you are with a custom rom.

The last thing I did before I also experienced this, was that I tried to get S-Off and couldn't make it, rebooted but everything was fine, and before that I had gave a try to CynogenMod 7.... Days later I was experiencing 20kbps download and later the touch panel failed also the optical pad, so I unrooted before it'd get worst, I got my warranty replacement and now I better send the damaged one back before 7 days, otherwise they charge me $200.

[Warming up]
I've been having problems lately trying to figure out the problem..
So, first i suspected the SD card, doesn't seem like my original 16GB card was the problem, because i bought 2 new 32GB Micro SDHC cards already, same problem..
[Now the problem]
80% of the times when i reboot and go into recovery and flash a couple of roms, or reboots in general, i for the most part get stuck in Bootscreen, if i try to wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache, it sometimes solves the problem and 20% of the times i can get into the system, the other 80% of the times that i actually succeed into getting the rom to load up, i mostly get stuck there aswell, untill it reboots the phone, and im back at the imfamous bootscreen...
So, i've figured, is there anyway for me to log the stuff that is happening at the boot screen? because im curious to what the problem might be..
[The things i've done already]
Everything is formated as EXT4, and has been so since Mike introduced it with his rom..
i've tried Mikes rom, Unity, Honey roms, Coredroid, RCmix, all the same on all of them.
I always wipe my phone fully before i boot the rom, mostly with Mikes Super Wipe Script, but sometimes with the wipe zip mentioned from the Rom Dev explicitly telling me to use that..
I always let the rom boot 2 times before i start flashing themes and stuff..
Just going Stock rom doesn't help either, i've tried that aswell, no change.
I've cleaned the phone, from top to toe.. (brushed and cleaned with special liquid)
I've tried different Micro SDHC cards, 1 of em was a counterfeit card, the newest one works just flawlessly, i've benchmarked, checked for errors and even done a Bluff check on it, all working 100% nominal.
CPU running at 998Mhz, just incase..
[Ending]
So, does anyone have any suggestions?.. Does anyone have any way for me to get logs of the Bootscreen (as its a wallpaper, i have no chance in actually seeing what is happening)
Are there any ADB commands i could use to check errors in bootscreen? Any diagnostics tests?
Maybe even a way to refresh the Bootloader with ADB commands?..
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
You have some pretty serious problems here. Not that I could diagnose it, but it sounded like hardware related problems to me. Btw, here's the link about boot log you've requested.

Thanks man, very much appreciated!
I'll run some logs tomorrow and see whats up with the phone, i actually got the phone running optimal again with yet another fresh rom flash and it all seems to work, have only restarted the phone 2 times, as im afraid of restarting the phone and get stuck again..
If i do get stuck, im stuck forever, and have to try above mentions i've done before, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, sometimes this works, most of the times it doesn't, and i end up fully wiping a couple of times and reflashing roms untill it works.. (I know this might sound like an SD card problem, but its not, i've gone thrue this with a couple of programs)
Anyway, a thousand thanks for that link, will probably help me quiet some..

Aye, this phone i have in my hands right now has already been in for repairs before and they changed the PCB of the phone, got a new IMEI number and all that..
But i do have warranty left for it, but i have to iron out the problem before i send it in, don't wanna risk being sent back to me and i have to pay lots of $ for their trouble (you know how HTC 3rd party repair centers works).. Plus they might actually scratch my screen some more as they did when i last sent it in...
Well, i have another "minor" problem with the phone aswell, not sure if its my phone or a general new cosmetic problem occurring on phones sent in for repairs, as i haven't noticed it on my earlier phone (Well theoretically the same phone).. Is that when i look at the screen in pitch black moving screens, i can see a distinct line going from Top Right to Bottom Left corner, and the Top Left side of the screen is black, and the lower right part of the screen is black/grey, you can see the difference, but not noticeable when your actually booted up, only in the Bootanimation part is it visible, i've tried different Bootanimations and everyone that has a Black background has this cosmetically problem.
Aah crap, Wall of text..
Haha just gonna add that i installed both apps you mentioned earlier, and the phone feels more like a Dev phone now, but anyway, it all worked great, not sure if it logged anything yet, didnt find anything in the app yet if it does..
I noticed something strange though, Gsensor Enabled, then right before bootup, Gsensor Disabled..
Have no idea why it does that, have no problem with Gsensor though..
Edit:
6 successful restarts!! That's something new!
I have no idea why its behaving this good.. Well time will tell..
Hey all,
I've been using my HTC EVO 4G for quite some time now (nearly a year), and just recently it started acting up. As the title implies, my phone randomly shuts itself off and starts itself back up-- for reasons I cannot determine. Usually when it does it once, I find that it goes on a rampage and shuts itself off before the phone even starts up. It will continue to reset itself for 3 or 4 times before it starts working properly.
I've honestly no idea what could be wrong with it. When this first started happening, I was running Fresh ROM 4.2 (but I've already been running it for a while-- it couldn't have been the ROM), and the default kernel for Fresh. I decided to boot into recovery for an earlier version of the ROM, but to no avail.
Finally, I decided to get a whole new ROM (am currently running on Synergy) and kernel altogether (currently running on netarchy kernel), but again to no avail.
Of course, I did a complete data wipe upon installing Synergy, so it can't have anything to do with phone's software, can it? I'm assuming it must be something physical; and am seriously considering purchasing a whole new SD card. (About the SD card: whenever I try mounting my EVO as a disk drive, immediately after I select the 'Mount' option, a notification saying 'Preparing SD card' pops up, and fails to ever mount it. This, I believe, is due to the fact that I'm not on a .92 Hboot, but it is nevertheless worth noting.)
Has anyone else ever had this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: The fact that I can't mount my phone as a disk drive is actually a problem in itself... I need to convert to Hboot .92, but my file system isn't FAT32 (at least, I'm assuming so, since it doesn't load my PB31I.zip IMG in Hboot) and I can't convert it if it doesn't connect to my computer... Guess I'll go back to Fresh.
Does your phone kind of heat up sometimes? Like in the front of the screen? My did and it turned out to be a physical problem. Bad charger port, sounds weird but thats what I was told. You might need to buy another one.

Yeah, I had originally thought it was an over-heating problem as well. It used to happen most of the time while I was driving-- with the sun hitting the phone directly. However, it's been doing it in-doors with A/C and virtually every other place . I just took notice of it in the car because that's when music was playing.
Ultimately, I might just consider transitioning to the Galaxy SII.
Thanks for reply. <3
I've been having same problem had my evo since day 1 and never any problems up unitl a few months ago.but now i definetly know i need a replacement mine phone gets super hot as well originally thought it was the rom but went back to stock all for nothing because the problem still remained
Is call power cycle the only way to fix it is to get a refurbish phone from sprint they know about it, they will do a test on it and order you another phone with the new 2.3.3 that cant be rooted, is not the sd card it is something on the hardware motherboard
Hello Forum,
seems that my DHD has an irreparable error.
But i've still a little hope that maybe someone of you guys out there can point me into the right direction to repair the phone again.
What happened:
on December, 20. for no apparent reason the Display started flickering approximately 2 cm from the top.
The upper Part (the first 2 cm from the top of Display) was showing the normal Picture, on the lower Part the Picture was flickering at irregular time intervals, but the touch gestures were still working without any Problems.
Setup at that Time:
- Latest 4ext Touch Recovery
- Latest MIUI.us Rom by bliind
- Custom DPI set to '190' (with ROM Toolbox)
- Max CPU Speed set to 1200 Mhz (with Set CPU)
(Had this setup working fine without any issues for approx. last 2 Months...)
Last change i did before the error occured: Set Custom Boot Animation with Rom Toolbox
The Flickering started not immediatly after setting the new boot Animation but i think 2 days and some reboots later...
Actions that i've already tried to solve the Problem:
1. Shut down the Phone, pull out the Battery, wait some Minutes, reboot the phone.
-> The flickering was gone and the Display looked normal after reboot.
2. After some time I took the Phone out of my pocket and the flickering was there again like before.
Tried to set DPI back to original value '240'
reboot the Phone
-> The Flickering still was there and it seemed to me that the responsiveness of the touch was slightly slower than normal.
3. Reboot into Recovery
Nandroid Backup all Partitions to SD-Card
wipe all partitions except SD-Card
new, totally clean flash of latest MIUI.us Rom by bliind
Reboot the phone
-> The flickering was gone; responsiveness of the screen normal as it was always before.
4. restore all apps; put the phone on the charger over night. everything worked fine again.
on the next Morning this strange flickering was there again; the Touchscreen was very slow responsive in the flickering area
Managed once more to reboot into recovery, but the flickering was now even in the Recovery and on the boot screen.
-> The Touch got more and more unresponsive.
Could no more start a new ROM flash out of Recovery.
5. Tried to access the phone via aahk tool and restored last stock ROM
-> After Reboot the DHD vibrates (like it usually does for startup)
the screen shows a bunch of black and white Stripes that chnge their Color when the Boot Animation should show up,
and later again when the lockscreen should appear.
It makes the boot jingle and i can send Commands via adb.
but Touch commands doesnt work, (tried to put in the Pin blind, but it shows no reaction)
Stupid, but I can't change it: my Warranty and the extra Insurance that i purchased for the DHD ended just 2 weeks before on 6. December.
6. Disassembled the whole phone with Help of you tube disassembling Guide, carefully cleaned all contacts and assembled it again.
-> nothing changed; same behavior like before disassembling.
What can I do? Any ideas except of small rasping and stirring into the soup? :crying:
Can it be only the display? Maybe the Graphic Chip?
Any other ideas?
thank you for reading this all and i appreciate any suggestion that might give my DHD a new spirit of life
Greetings from Cologne
I know it's not what you want to hear, but that sounds like a graphics or display hardware problem...

Thanks for your reply!
That was the same what I thougt after disassembling and cleaning with no result.
Cause it seems to me that the Display is still working, but the Signal that's coming in is broken.
I alsready supposed that the Graphic engine is broken.
Just had a little Hope that someone might had the same Problem and got it solved,
before I start practice for mobile phone throwing competition...
i suggest another ROM JB used to cause my DHD flickering (earliear versions)
My DHD was with same problem 1 year a go, and that usually happen when i played games like Angrybirds or Asphalt, or when the device temperature was high.
I was worry at that time, thinking that the device was gone.
Take the same solutions that you had (except disassemble the phone) but they're only temporary.
By that time i decide root the device and install a new rom, (nothing to loose had i think) and Revolution HD was my choice.
After that my DHD didn't flick any more.
I didn't ever know what was the origin of that flickering but for me, that was the big solution.
I'm using Viper Venom 1.2.3 for now, and still with no flickering insues.
So, my advice for you is... give a try to other rom's and kernels, maybe you resolve your insue has i did.
Good luck with that.

Thanks for you Answers guys,
the Problem i have is, that my DHD does show only sripes even if I try to boot into Recovery, I can't see anything and am not able to start a flash process...
cause i have installed 4ext touch recovery i need the screen to wipe and flash a new ROM.
But i will try to flash an CWM - Recovery through ADB and then to start the flash Process blind by tapping the buttons...
let's see what will happen. There's nothing to loose...
For now, cause I was sitting without a mobile phone at all, I've ordered a cheep one from Amazon... - Huawei U8510 (Ideos X3) -
And oh WONDER!!!: I've got a fully functioning phone with CyanogenMod 7.2 and all the stuff i use my phone for is working without any Probs..
And the whole thing has 2 years of warranty at a cost of € 80,-
only the Display for my HTC would cost € 40,-
so I'm thinking of selling the broken phone on ebay and let anyone try to repair it who is able to....
but I will give it a try to flash another ROM.
Already downloaded the JellyTime R30...
Hello unbeteiligter,
seems that my DHD has nearly the same issues, but with some extra problems.
It seems to be broken since today morning. I wiped the phone and restored the backup I made the afternoon before, and then the first vertical stripes occured. I wiped it and flashed the same rom (CodefireX 4.2.1) again. Same issues. Now I tryed to flash a GingerBread Strock Rom. Even the same issues, and even more shocking is that this problem also occurs in the bootloader, recovery, splashscreen and bootanimation.
Stupid situation, today my Warranty ended.
What can I do? Previously I tougth this is a software problem, but now I think it might be a hardware issue.
Thanks in advance!

The T-Mobile Customer Support told me, that they would have accepted the case as Warranty, if my DHD had ended up during the first week after End of Warranty. Don't know where you bought yours, but maybe there's a small chance for you to get Warranty Support through their obligingness.
If I were you I would try this...

If your dealer don't accept your Warranty Call, I can't give you much Hope... Sorry for you...

Similar problem
I have also got a similar problem. Had my phone for two years and have also just hit the same problem. Flashed a new ROM, everything was working fine, then all of a sudden top half of the screen is displayed correctly, the bottom half is always flickering. This occurs in the bootloader as well. Anyone would think that HTC decided to make sure the phone only works for two years and a few weeks after the warranty expires to make sure it experiences problems.
My Captivate Glide's screen does this whenever I turn it on:
I didn't drop it or get it wet, it just started doing this randomly.
I live in the UK and ordered the phone unlocked over eBay so I can't take it into an AT&T store, sadly.
Do you guys know if there's anything I could do myself or anything someone more experienced in repairing mobile phones could do to fix the screen?
This is bearing in mind that not many people over here have seen one of these phones though.
Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks guys.
you was using still GB right? just flash ics via odin, with one click or with a tar file
This is UCLH2 without one click
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09/...ota-stock-rom/
And here is the latest version with bug fixes (like keyboard light)
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11/...ptivate-glide/
and there is for one click
http://www.androidauthority.com/captivate-glide-sgh-i927-att-android-4-0-4-ics-uclg9-leak-110365/
i think that only one click wipe your internal storage. but is the bes (in my opinion). try it, dont have anything to lose
No, I already updated it to ICS. Should I reinstall it? Will that fix the screen? How will I manage to do it with the screen all messed up?
if you can put in download mode, then you can. Its weird because i only see that problem with GB. Put in download mode and then reinstall
I just tried putting it into download mode but I get the exact same thing.
Thats weird, the problem is weird because it never happen to me in download mode, maybe you can try it without battery, or let the phone without battery a couple of hours, etc.
Dont Know what you cand o, because if you cant enter in download mode, you will be no able to flash ICS
Hrm... that purple splotch in the bottom left of the screen doesn't look so good... Almost appears as if it had been dropped on that corner at some point in the phone's history. I am tempted to say that is a hardware issue, though. Reminds me of when the flex cable for my laptop's display started shorting out many years ago. Might be repairable, but, might be a costly repair depending on what all needs to be replaced. I can't imagine replacing the software on it will do much, though, sorry to say. You could give it a shot, you can verify if your phone made it into download mode without the display by loading up odin and seeing if it detects under that, and then running the one click install (or any other since you'd have odin running anyway) but I wouldn't expect much.
If you're not getting the Samsung/Rogers logo screen, you're done. Either the screen is physically damaged, or the bootloader is corrupt. There's no saving that one, sadly.
yes, try what Artemis-kun say. put in download mode and connect, and see if odin detected. Or maybe just turn on the phone and wait a little, then try to call to your phone, if the phone ring or appears to be on, then is a hardware problem.
But try what Artemis-kun, maybe you have luck
PD: now i see better the image and it seems little different from what it happens to me. if you turn on, inmediatly happen that? or screen banish slowly?
AW: [Q] Screen's gone fuzzy and weird - need help please
There should be a cable, connecting the hardware to the display. Maybe it loosened, you should check out the video of a guy tearing his glide apart, hopefully youll find something to repair there.
