Hi, my phone is running ARHD 13.0, but yesterday something strange happened. The screen started to not work, only touch was working. Sometimes it worked, but it wasn't often. Now when I got this working, touch stopped working. I have warranty and I want to unroot it and get back to stock ROM & relock it and flash stock recovery. How do I do this without a screen?

I've recently sold my rooted HTC Desire with MIUI installed.
However the buyer contacted me today saying the phone is not working.
It was working fine when I sold it to him, but now has the following problems:
- It normally loads the boot screen instead of the ROM.
- In the boot screen everything is frozen ( I know you need to wait 10 sec). It takes a few minutes until it actually registers that you pressed something.
- If you actually do get to go to the recovery screen, it is very buggy - it mostly doesn't respond to pressing the optical button, and sometimes it selects something without you pressing anything.
- If you do get to load the ROM (I've managed to install GingerBurst Sense 2.1 ROM. So I've tried this with this and MIUI), it loads in safe mode, and whenever you lock the screen and try to open it again, the phone resets to the boot screen, which again is frozen...
I've managed to wipe the phone and install the gingerbread rom mentioned above, but the problems still persist.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with my phone all of the sudden, and how it can be fixed?
Could it finally have died and there's nothing else I can do?
If it helps, the phone is a HTC Desire Bravo S-ON with ClockWorkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7
Thanks for reading!

It all looks like it was dropped or moisture got inside of it. I would try with 2.3 ruu, to get it back to fully stock on all partitions and try it there. If problem continues it's a hardware failure, and if everything works great, then Revolutionary (s-off and root) and a choice of custom rom. However I would stick to stock for selling, unless the buyer requests different.

You are quite right, I have dropped it hard and got it wet several times, so it probably is indeed a hardware fault.
I'll try your suggestions, but it seems to me like I will probably have to refund the buyer.
Thanks for your help.

Try with disassembling and cleaning of all connectors.
I've just refunded the buyer.
Thank you both for your help
I've had a long journey with this phone. Only got it a week ago. I downgraded the phone to the LS980 ZVC firmware using LG Flash tools, rooted with ioroot 25 and flashed TWRP with Autorec. Then installed the Cloudy G2 2.2 Rom. USed it for a while, but then wanted a taste of lollipop. So I downloaded the latest CM12 nightly. Upgraded TWRP to 2.8.4.0 using Blasgator's bumped zip, did full wipe, flashed the CM12 Rom, flashed the ZV8 Radio and then flashed gapps. Booted into CM12 fine and used it for a while. Then, the phone randomly shut off, and wouldn't power back on and I panicked. Power button gave no feedback or sound. I decided to try download mode and plugged the phone into my PC, it was detected and flashed back to to stock firmware, still nothing on screen. The phone boots and I can here sounds, I can also hear touch tones when I touch the screen, but I have nothing on my display. Please help. It would be tragic to lose my phone after less than a week
Did you have anything on the screen when it was in download mode? If not, sounds like the display is toasted. Where did you get it from, did it come with a warranty?

Thanks for your reply, I got it off eBay used. But to anyone else who gets this problem, plug in your phone, it will get irregularly hot while charging, but leave it overnight. You'll wake up with a battery at %100 screen I reflashed CM12, and all is well.
I have discovered strange issue with my Xperia M (C1905).
I'm basically using stock ROM, but I wanted to flash other custom ROM. Flashing process always goes fine, without errors, but after rebooting with new ROM the touch screen is not responding at all (side buttons works fine).
I have tried to flash different ROMs (CM12, CM11, CM12.1, AOSP, ArchiDroid) and the results were exactly the same - phone boots up, but touch screen is not responding. I have flashed them using CWM and CyanogenMod Recovery. I haven't used TWRP, because the touch screen doesn't respond here either.
Phone is rooted, and bootloader is unlocked, I have flashed before different stock ROMs (15.4.A.1.9, 15.4.A.0.23), wiped data, cache and factory reset the phone, mainly followed all possible flashing tutorials.
When I was thinking what can be the reason of the behavior I think it could be due to this I have replaced broken digitizer couple of months ago. Seller claimed it was original Sony digitizer, but I cannot be sure of this.
I would really appreciate any help or suggestions, maybe I am doing something wrong?
Touchscreen Response Mirrored - Re-flash Kernel?
I've tried posting on some other forums, and I'll include here what I've written there, but I think maybe I just need to re-flash the kernel? Is there anywhere I can download a flashable zip file of the HTC kernel?
Here's the issue:
Last week my phone ran out of battery and it shut down. When I turned it back on the touch response is mirrored on the X axis. So if I touch on the left, it registers touch on the right. Up and down is still the same. But it's not perfect and some areas of the screen don't respond. I was rooted and had a custom recovery, but I did a factory reset in recovery and it didn't help. So I downloaded the stock ROM from VMRoms and it flashed fine, but it didn't fix the issue. So I switched to an old phone (Optimus V for life!) and put the 816 on my desk.
A day later or so the touch screen worked fine. So I ran the system update to Android 5.
Another day passed with it was working perfectly, and then it switched back at a reboot to being mirrored. Then it started working again, but for the last 3 days it's been mirrored...
So what do I do?
Honestly it sounds like some weird hardware problem.
Hello,
Ive had this device for now 3 months and never once had a problem. I did however stay on stock for quite awhile just rooted. Recently Ive been testing out different roms and ran through quite a few until I heard about the all mighty CM gem by Sultan. So I figured I would give it a shot. Went ahead and downloaded that along with gapps like any other rom. Booted into TWRP and wiped both the system and cache/dalvik. Then went ahead and attempted to install the rom. Unfortunately midway through it froze and my screen artifacted. I figured I would give it a few seconds and the screen turned black with the notification light turned on. I then tried to reset it with a volume+power combo and nothing happened. After about 5 mins of letting it rest it turned back on.
I went ahead and tried this process again thinking it was just a fluke but nope happened again. So I figured it was a corrupt zip file and I would just go back to the stock image I flashed before which was working perfectly fine. Again froze and gave me artifacts. Hoping to find an answer I downloaded the latest TWRP image and flashed the roms again. Same outcome. I even went out of my way to flash the stock recovery, fully reset all my data through there and then reflash TWRP and sideload Sultan's CM. Which I for once actually got into the ROM however now whenever I get into the ROM my phone overheats instantly and I get the nasty artifacts back along with a reset of the phone. Well kind of the screen goes black and I have to wait until it cools off to turn it back on or else it wont turn on.
Anyone have this issue? Anyone know how to solve this? This is my only phone and I go off to college next monday. Thanks in advanced.
UPDATE: I now cannot get the phone to turn on. No haptic feedback, no LED notification light, no recognition in windows. Literally a paperweight at this point.
The same here, flashed CM and Gapps...
Phone hangs on boot, rebooted the phone and now it won't go on..
