Has anyone here broke their screen and replaced it. I have replaced a few screens now on the Verizon M7 and have found that you need the right lcd/digitizer installed for twrp to work. I first thought is was the red shell I was converting to, Until I dropped it and broke the screen and replaced then twrp worked again. I started having issuses with my screen and had it replaced under warranty. I installed the replacement screen today and again like 2 screens ago twrp will not load.
So, if anyone breaks their screen, be advised some of the replacement screens out their do not get along with twrp or cwm for that matter. I guess, try to make sure you getting genuine htc replacement parts when ordering a new screen.
I was excited to install a brand new lcd/digitizer and then I saw the new rom with sense 7.0 and I went to load twrp and not loading. Has anyone else out there replaced the screen and twrp stopped loading? I mean what good is having a s-off rooted phone the will not boot into recovery.
I don't think I can rma the screen over twrp not loading.....................
I haven't had issues with TWRP, but I have replaced 3 screens on Verizon M7s & M8s and non have worked, yet the original cracked screens work fine. I'm wondering if there are model/carrier specific screens that need to be used?

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?

No the g2 has a normal lcd

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.
Hello,
I had to replace my glass screen since it cracked and I was able to do that, but in the process, I also screwed up my SLCD. I have the Verizon version of the phone with an SLCD and it seems I need the Sony version. Can someone confirm which one I would need to order in order to replace my SLCD? I don't want to end up ordering the wrong one. Most on eBay seem to be for the TMobile version.
Thanks

I wish I knew. I ordered an SLCD from HTC Repair Parts cause my phone is hardware version 3 but the SLCD Doesn't work cause it doesn't have the right ribbon cable connection. They can't seem to track down what I need and they tell me that their screen works for everyone else.
I compared the connection in my AMOLED phone to the SLCD and they had the same connection so just for Grins, I pulled the AMOLED out of my phone and put it in the hardware version 3 phone and all it did was show a bunch of random colors but mostly green. I'm lost on this one. I must have a freak.
I believe there's 2 versions of the SLCD screen: Sony and Samsung. You just need to contact the seller and ask which version they have, if they don't specify.
got a hold of an old expresso....phone is already rooted but still has s-on and original recovery from the looks of it (all i get is a big red triangle with an exclamation point). when going into fastboot i noticed it says touch panel-fail. when the phone is powered on, the screen is not responsive at all. any chance this is a software issue that can fixed or likely hardware and is a piece of junk? any thoughts/ideas would welcome, thanks
I picked a new digitizer off eBay for $20. The process is a bit involved, but it's not rocket science.
I got one that seems all right, but did not work. Took it all apart and put the old cracked digitizer back on, and that works fine, so its definitely the new digitizer not working. We'll see if I get any satisfaction from the eBay seller.
I did read another post that despite all being myTouch3G Slides there are apparently slightly different versions of the touch panel.. so I'm trying to decide if its worth a second shot (and more expense) to get a second touch screen and maybe have the same problem..
The same problem
Friend's, recently I have the same problem - in the fastboot menu TOUCH PANEL-fail appeared. The phone wasn't flashed and rooted - only updated by the official update to 2.2.1 and then S-OFFed with the help of official site. Are you sure that digitizer replacing will help?

I am in Rochester and was looking for like minded friends.
I recently relocated back to Rochester from China after being away for 8 years.
I have a Xiaomi Max 128gb that was working fine for about 45 days after arriving.
It then did an OTA update from Xiaomi then the touch screen stopped responding.
Since then I have tried to do Full Factory Reinstall, zip flash, tgz flash and non resolved the touch screen functionality issue.
Since then the battery drained and the screen no longer turns on. I am trying to find a way to do a diagnostic of the hardware without the screen working and possibly find an OEM replacement screen or a service center. . .
Do you know of anyone that maybe able to help locally?
Here is my update on this issue.
I just bought an OEM replacement screen and digitizer. I completed the test to see if the new one works it does not boot up or power on. I wonder if it is a motherboard or battery issue now.
Is there any way to test and determine where the fault is located?
I have a A50 (SM-A505GT, Brazil) with Android 11 (U7) with an unresponsive touchscreen, no sound and no mic. This problem happened last thursday, april the 29th. Last year this phone had its AMOLED screen replaced with an aftermarket one, after got the original broken. When I say screen I meant screen and touch, they come in one single unit.
To test the touchscreen, I swapped the installed screen with a new one but the touch kept unresponsive. Using ODIN, I also tried to install the newest ROM and after that tried to downgrade to Android 10. Both binary 7, but without success.
I already bought a new phone but this thing keeps itching to know what happened. So, does anybody have any clue what's going on with this phone?
Can a software problem cause the touchscreen to stop working even after a fresh ROM installed? Or this could be a hardware problem in a subsystem of the phone interfering with all that?
Thanks in advance!
Same issue here. I replaced my screen last year (A505W) without issue. I was happily using my phone again until Samsung forced an OTA update and now my new screen no longer responds to touch. I will never buy a Samsung product again. :/
