Ok so I bought the wife a new G2 about a month ago from T-Mobile. The phone is great and we have both been loving it. Earlier this week the wife mentioned that she was unable to use her phone a couple times because she couldn't get the screen to come up. I messed around with it for a while and eventually it started acting up again. While using the phone, the screen would start to flicker (go between the expected image and a black screen), almost as if the backlight was going out (yes I know there is no backlight with OLED), and then the screen went blank. The screen was black for almost half an hour. I tried pulling the battery and rebooting, the screen never came on and the phone booted up completely. Since it was still useless I went ahead and pulled the battery again. I let it sit for 3-5 minutes and powered it back up. The screen came on, started to flicker a bit and then went black (this is at the HTC boot screen). Eventually the phone came back and now it hasn't exhibited the problem in a couple days. I have noticed that this doesn't seem to be a problem with the Z-hinge (seemed like a likely cause at first), as playing with the hinge doesn't seem to make it flicker or reduce the flicker when its happening. At this point I am 90% confident this is a hardware issue unrelated to the z-hinge. Perhaps a faulty LCD driver chip or a improperly seated ribbon cable on the motherboard side. Feel free to offer any other suggestions.
so... the phone has been rooted and has Cyangenmod installed. In order to get a warranty claim on this I will need to flash the phone back to the original TMO rom. This should be as simple as just flashing the stock .nbh file through the boot loader right? I need to do this before the screen permanently dies on me and I have an expensive paperweight. My other question is if anyone knows whether T-Mobile will send me a new phone replacement for this? I'm under the impression that when you do a warranty exchange you are sent a refurbished model that has been repaired. The phone is only 1 month old and I don't want a refurbished 6 month old phone to replace it, although I don't know if I really have many options.
Okay what method of prem root and s-off did you do? Because if u used the 1st method of prem rooting and s-off useing unforgivens way you need to hex edit to properly flash the PC10IMG.zip stock rom or u will get simi bricked phone. Am not familer with rage so I can't really explain that. As for gfree method you should be fine flashing the orginal stock rom but have more procedure to turn on S-on

I used the gfree method described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2 using the full method that does the radio S-OFF, Super-CID and simunlock.
Hopefully I can just do something like what they discuss here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-g2-htc-desire-z-complete-guide/
Thanks

The backlight may very well be faulty. This is not an OLED screen. Its just a standard LCD display.
I would get it exchanged if I were you.

Just got the new G2 in the mail, rooting it now. I was under the impression that the H2o had an amoled display and not a standard backlit lcd. Is this incorrect?

The G2 has an S-LCD. An better LCD screen developed by Sony.
HTC started to use S-LCD because samsung couldn't make enough AMOLED screens for HTC's Desire phones.
I recently got a new Htc Evo 4g after my old one died, I went through the proper steps to root it and flashed a rom to it. Everything has been going fine until i noticed that a this strip of the touch screen at the top has stopped working. this is a horizontal line at the level of the search button in Google play. I noticed the same symptoms in an Evo Shift until the screen completely died to touch. I am praying this doesn't happen to my Evo so I am wondering if anyone else knows of this problem and possibly a solution
Hey,
that doesnt sound like a rooting issue to me, I think your digitizer is going bro :/
but the good news is they are cheap to replace

good Luck man, you can try reflashing a new rom and making sure you wipe your cache and dalvik but I really think the digitizer is just going
Hey Guys, I gave my girl a g2 for her and she has been using it for about 3 months. She claims she has not dropped it. But who knows what might have really happened.
I need to know if this problem is Software or Hardware ( Motherboard or Screen).
Here is a video of it. youtu(dot)be/j6q9gOHbYZ0

I purchased an LG G4 H818P dual sim from Dubai. I've used the phone for about 2 weeks now and suddenly for absolutely no reason the left half of my screen has gone full black (split down the middle). The touch still works though. I have tried a hard reset which didn't work. On some forums people with the same problem said they removed the screen protector and it solved the problem. I did likewise but to no avail. Can anyone assist urgently please.
Could be connector or broken screen. Not software issue for sure. Drop it lately?

Sounds similar to this thread

those people are mostly sprint though.
I had the same problem. I had return to LG to fix and replace with new screen.
