So, recently my One X (EU version, endeavoru) begin showing some problems, as outlined below. It was the newest stable CM (10.3) and a somewhat older version of CWRM. After the problems showed, I managed to upgrade to the latest CWRM and CM. Here's the problem:
- When I tried to unlock my phone, the screen stayed black, so I reset the phone.
- When it started up, the HTC logo looked fine, but the CM logo was shifted down and banded: the top of the circle was visible on the bottom of the screen and the bottom of the circle on top of the screen. After that logo the screen turned black.
- It DID boot though, as I could feel the haptic feedback when trying to unlock, and I could hear the sounds of making a screenshot (power+vol down).
- After some resetting etc I finally got an image of the screen again, and saw that I moved some widgets around, so the touch screen def. works when the screen was black.
- I wanted to make sure it was a hardware problem, so I did a total wipe (factory/dalvik) and flashed a new recovery. This worked, but a few times when working in recovery the image froze. I'm not sure if the recovery crashed and did not respond to input, or that the screen just froze, as CWRM only has visual feedback.
- I managed to install the latest CM, tried it, it worked, and then the screen showed some green lines, and a slight shift upwards (the top rows of the status bar showed at the bottom), and I couldn't do anything anymore as far as I could tell.
- The bootloader also showed some problems: the letters were enlarged and overlapped while the image was also smeared across the screen.
Now, basically my question is: can I be sure this is a hardware problem? HTC will fix it if that's the case, but otherwise I will have to be a bunch of money for nothing, because then they will pin the problem on the custom software/firmware/recovery installed. However, I don't think any of the firm/software can actually influence the bootloader, am I right? So if there are problems with the bootloader, it cannot be the case that something I installed on the phone causes the problem.
i think what u have there is Screen Flickering ,, and it's due to a hardware problem ,,someone had the same problem and he had to replace the screen and the motherboard !!!
again am not sure !!

Thanks! I searched for one x screen flicker and found a video that showcased my problem perfectly:

One of the comments said that if they pressed the screen just below the HTC logo it worked again (temporary), and I could reproduce this on my phone. Now I have no doubt at all it's a hardware issue, and I will contact HTC for repairs!

I have rooted my desire z (about a half year ago) and now I am having a problem.
When I boot my phone my screen stays black during the phase that normally would show that htc logo and white background. And after that colors are weirdly blueish (it goes back to normal after I put my phone to sleep and wake it). Also bootloader is black (I know that it boots to bootloader because when I push vol- and the power it goes to clockworkmod). And clockworkmod is also weirdly blueish. I got this problem when I was trying that unofficial CM9 rom and I have used superwipe, tried several other roms and backups of other roms, but the problem don't go away. Any ideas how to fix this?
It seems that my screen problems change when I open/ close keyboard. So could the cable be a bit broken?
Most probably the cable. If you are still in warranty, take it to be serviced. If not, I'm sure that wouldn't cost much.
Either way, sounds like a hardware problem.
Hi guys I wonder if you can help me. My friend broke his Wildfire S screen and asked me if I could fix it. I got a new glass / digitiser from eBay and replaced the screen. All look fine to me so I took it back to him.
It seems since replacing the screen the phone sometimes refuses to wake up when clicking the lock button, or when an inbound call arrives. The phone rings but there is no sign of life other than the ringing noise. If you then plug in the charger the screen will turn on and you can use the phone as normal. I've tried a factory reset on it but nothing seems to help.
I haven't replaced the LCD just the glass/digitiser, and can't think of a reason in doing so would break other functions of the phone. Can anyone help or suggest what might be the problem here? I'm a competent repairer and have replaced the screens on many Laptops, iPhone's and iPad's but this is my first encounter with a HTC.
I believe it is a stock ROM branded O2 - Details from the phone are ...
Android Version - 2.3.5
HTC Sense Version - 2.1
Software Number - 2.26.206.1

i have a similar problem,
I have replaced the digitizer but the phone doesnt start. I press the lock buttom and the phone vibrates, but the screen is black, nothing apears...
What can i do?
I would like to know...
I've no idea been trying for ages, I'd like to try a newer ROM but can't get the phone in to S-OFF.
I've done the whole HTC Dev thing and unlocked the boot loader etc, but can't find a stock rom / RUU that will flash to it.
And here's me thinking this site was going to be helpful and full of people who knew what they were talking about!

I resolved this changing the screen lcd panel
I'm having a somewhat weird issue with my ACE 2's display. When I turn it on, the screen went blank (not black) but blank, everything still runs but the display isn't showing anything. And by blank I mean the background is kinda like the one in CWM recovery but without the logo. Right now, all i can do to solve this is by removing the battery and turn the phone back on.
I'm hoping someone is also having this problem and have a better solution to it.
PS : My friends say that it's a hardware problem but I don't think so.

What rom are u using ?
I JUST got my LG G2 from sprint less than 4 hours ago and as soon as i got home i rooted it using ioroot25 that i found somewhere online (if its important i can dig up the link but figure its probably irrelevant) and installed TWRP recovery, made a backup, not a single issue, then all of a sudden half hour later i pick it up and turn it on and the screen is mostly white with yellow lines (that move/respond to touch and whats supposed to be going on on the screen) and it will not show any sort of picture just kinda yellow fuzz lines...it looks just like some phones ive seen with cracked/ faulty LCDs but if i hold the power button and up or down to hard reset it, the LCD starts working again upon boot, and continues to work untill the LCD turns off for the first time after booting and i try to wake the phone again, every time i turn the screen on when its on it goes back to fuzzy lines with no way to make it start working other than restarting the phone with the buttons on the back.
anybody ever seen anything like this before? it cant be a broken or cracked lcd cuz when it first boots it shows a crystal clear screen and everything works fine untill the first time the screen turns off...im guessing i am more than likely going to end up making a trip back out to the sprint store tomorrow for a manufacturer defect replacement? any insight into this strange problem would be greatly appreciated!

Faced similar problem with LS980
I am also facing similar problem with LS980.
Only additional mistake i have made is -
I have installed TWRP recovery for D802 instead of LS980(Seller labeled it as D802). After reboot into recovery mode, My lcd showing only lines.
Any suggestion/help ?
Ok - so some of you might remember my thread from a few weeks back.
I had an assortment of issues - notably a System 7 error when I tried to install CM11.
I read through some of the copious amount of threads on here, and found that Status 7 error may result from not having correct radio installed - or some other software component that is required for the installation to go through properly.
So - I thought - what about trying CM10 again, rather than CM11.
This time, it seems as if the ROM has installed fine.
No errors in installation log etc.
Booting the phone throws up a problem, and this makes me think there's a hardware issue.
Sometimes it will boot to the CM10 welcome screen -and hangs.
Sometimes it hangs on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
Sometimes it hangs during the CM10 boot screen.
Sometimes the CM10 boot screen animation runs as though the screen were a CRT with a dodgy signal coming in from the aerial.
Once - it loaded to the welcome screen, crashed and the phone emitted a loud, very high pitched squeal, and wouldn't stop until it was switched off...
So - any ideas what could be the problem here?
Hardware? I could take a look inside it, if this thing is a lost cause otherwise...
267 views, and no comments from anyone about this?
Are people completely stumped with my device and what it's doing?
Is this thing just fit for the bin, or being ceremoniously destroyed with a mash hammer?

Ared you flash the boot.img from rom archive. Maybe the phone is to hot and reboot try cooling the phone while boot maybe faulty battery
Yeah I've flashed the boot.img from the ROM.
Ok - something interesting happened there just there.
It's not been switched on for a few days - booted up great - got to CM10 set up screen - clicked Great Britain English - and on next screen it froze - horizontal lines across the screen, and high pitched scratchy sound (sort of similar to dial up modem sound, only higher pitched).
Just tried to flash boot.img again, and erase cache - crashed on HTC screen.
When it's cool - the phone def seems to boot up better - gets to the CM10 welcome screen ok - but when I try to do anything it then crashes - those weird horizontal lines through the graphics.
The more times the phone is rebooted, the less likely it is to get to the CM10 screen and just hang on HTC screen.

Yeah - just tried all of this again - let it cool down - tried to boot it up - got to CM10 welcome screen -then got through to the 2nd screen where it came up with an error relating to the lack of SIM card.
And then a screwed up screen with that sort of white noise thing.
I then restarted - and each time it would proceed less and less - eventually just getting caught in a boot loop.
Curiously, the boot loop eventually kicks out and phone goes into recovery by itself?
Where do I go with this people?
Any ideas?
