Hello all, I have a terrible problem.
The Screen for my G2 went blank today, and I have a feeling the culprit is the cheap exposed ribbon that lies in BETWEEN the keypad and the actual screen, perhaps being punctured while in my pocket. As a result of this exploit, they need to set up an exchange with a newer model however..I perm rooted and OC'd with a Custom ROM (. Is there ANYWAY possible, for me to un-root the G2 without a screen? My buttons and screen aren't active but phone turns on and charges..
I'm praying so hard this is possible or I might be screwed
Where able to do it? I'm facing the same prob now...I cannot get it replaced from Tmobile since I'm out of contract.. I've to ship it to HTC but they are gonna charge me if they find it rooted...

Hello everyone,
Today i installed my parrot bluetooth carkit. And after i connected a couple of times my phone became unstable.
So unstable that i'm not able to tap the screen.....
I don't know what happened due that i have hard resetted the phone a couple of times and even switched from m-rom to energyrom 3.0 with the same results.
Only one thing that was strange is that the touch pro start up screen with the red characters in the right bottom.
That after i flashed m-rom to energy rom that the touch pro characters in the middle were still different like the way that are made in m-rom. With the addition : powered by m-rom
So this means that the phone doesnt format his core
Help please give me any advice.
UPDATE:When backlight is dimmed, it will be bright if i touch it once. Afterwards it will maintain the same.
I have tried several roms and tried to restore my SPL aswell, without any results till now.
I'm getting desperate now. Due that i stays in the screen of ALLIGNMENT, so i'm really not able to start up anything from now.
Have you dropped your device recently?
Try flashing a stock/shipped rom and hard-reset when after flashing the rom when you get to the "Tap here to set up your device" screen.
I have a OIL spot in the screen when i keep it in bright light.
This could be occured when the phone was inside my bag during my beach visit.....
I guess the phone turned liquid by the sun....
Does somebody ever experienced the same issue?

I have a oil spot, and the raster of the phone with little dots in visible in the ligt.
I have made a repair order at HTC.
Which didn't satisfy me at all!
They told me that it is not covered by warranty. I was shocked, this will cost me around 70 euro to fix, and my shop warranty is still valid. So i called the shop to explain this.
And they said if this is not caused by a user, we will change the phone, but first we what to have a diagnose from HTC.
So i decided to let HTC pick up my phone . They will have a repair time of 5 up till 10 days.
That's fair, but i'm not really happy with this situation. Because i think that the screen is the most harmful component. And this means that if this part fails that my phone becomes obsolete.
I will post my conclusion after i got my phone repaired.
I will return to the STOCK spl and the original rom just for warranty purposes.
dont tell them that you spilt anything on it or dropped it. Although they will be able to tell if there is water damage to the device you might get lucky and they won't notice.
Now is the oil spot from leaving it in the sun or suntan lotion getting in the device?

Nope nothing happened at all.
Thats the strange thing about this situation.
I was in the shadow of the sun and the bags were only filled with clothes. So it didn't drop or something else.
I was able to use my phone during the day.... and was getting more unresponsive during the time that went by.
So i will not accept any blame of myself, due that i have a warranty of 1 year from the factory which will not cover your display :S
But also have the store warranty... So i told the store that i will return the phone if there are any costs.
The store told me that they will wait on the diagnose of HTC which i have sent it to myself to reduce the time.
If the diagnose tells that it's not my fault, then i can return my phone probably.... He couldn't promise it due that i want to see the diagnose first.
So I will wait on HTC's conclusion.... And i'm afraid that they will try to blame me for it....
They better not I will be a pain in there arses
Hello, I have exactly the same problem. After flashing from energyrom 3.0 to Aurora, a few hours later, i couldn't get my phone out of lock. (slide a button to the right or left on your touchscreen)
I tried a soft reset, but the phone started up with the same locked screen. So, i tried a hard reset. From that moment on i got stuck at "align screen". I ve flashed several times with several ROM's but nothing. (by the way, whatever rom i install, the first screen always says: Energyrom by NTGZ28)
I used the trick to paste welcome.not on the micro card, to bypass the align screen. That works, but the touch screen doesn't work. I 've removed the protection of the screen, but that doesn't make a difference either. My device didn't fall, came into contact with water or anything that could harm the thing. Oh, when the backlight is dimmed, the screen reacts to tapping it. Please help me out ??
resolt the issue. Because of a lot scraches (spelled ok?), i removed the protective screen. When i put the new screen on, everything worked !

i had does as well and then touch screen stopped working..
had to replace digitizer, unfortunately had to replace LCD screen and digitizer at the end (was not able to separate digitizer from LCD)
Ok, so I've had my Fuze like 4 or 5 months now and have had no problems until a day or two ago. I try to do anything, my screen does not work properly. I touch somewhere and it doesn't register it 95% of the time. I looked at the screen and there seems to be a little liquid under there but I don't know how it got there, I put a screen protector on it the whole time I've had it and it just appeared out of nowhere and it's never had any kind of liquid spilt on it or anything. I try to click on the text box for SMS in touchflo 2.1 and it won't go in there and it starts moving the text messages up and down and opening task manager randomly and whenever I open the start menu it goes right into moving the items around. I have tried reflashing but have not yet tried to go back to stock. I'm going to try that and if it doesn't work I'm takin it in to AT&T to see if they can either give me a new one or fix it.
I have had the same problem with my screen on Touch Pro.
I had to get the phone repaired under warranty. I think HTC replaced the screen.
Search the forums, quite a few people have had this problem.
Has it been exposed to heat?
Seeing as your a fellow texan, have you left it in your car or under direct sunlight for a prolonged period?
I'd look up an At&t Device Support center and take it to them, they should change the device on the spot if there's no physical damage and its still under warranty.
Make sure you revert to the Stock/Shipped ROM and SPL (i wouldn't worry too much about the SPL though if you can't get it, i've turned in 2 devices with a hardSPL and nothing ever happened, but its better to be safe then sorry right?)
best of luck
Hi,
I recently dropped my i9023 and smashed the glass.
Bought a new screen with digitizer from global direct parts (www globaldirectparts com/Samsung-GT-I9023-LCD-and-Digitizer-Assembly-p/smsng6102150.htm)
Having put the new screen in it boots up fine and displays perfectly but the touch screen is not working at all and I can't do anything. If I put my smashed screen back in touch input works fine.
I've flashed back to stock I9023XXKB3 and I9023XXKB1 firmware, but nothing seems to help.
The ribbon to the screen doesn't appear to be damaged and because global direct parts had a minimum purchase of 2 I have 2 new ones and they are both unresponsive.
Anyone have any ideas?
My first idea would be to have the manufacturer fix it.
Sorry you are having trouble getting the touch screen to respond. I too have cracked my screen and would be very interested in your strip down and replacement steps as I am going to be doing the same. If you get time, could you write down your steps. There is a pretty good teardown at
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-S-Teardown/4365/1
but I am not confident of the last bit of using a heat gun to separate the screen from the frame. Did yours come off easy ?
Yes I could have sent it to an authorized repairer but I would of been without the phone for a a while and it would cost twice as much. Plus I like pulling things apart.
markread544 - I pretty much followed the ifixit guide. however when pulling out the motherboard make sure the front and rear cameras and speaker are loose as well otherwise it wont come out.
I didn't use a heat gun, I just applied pressure until it started to lift, it would of definitely been easier if it had been warmed up but I didn't want to use a heat gun either. You would want to use an adjustable heat one on low if you did, I think a hair dryer would work as well.
I pulled mine a bit further apart then they did, the grey part in the attached pic comes off as well which makes it easier to get the screen out of the front bezel which it is also glued to.
Phone is back together at the moment with the cracked screen but I'll take some photos if I pull it apart again.
same problem here.
i bought an lcd on ebay for i9023 (slcd)
display OK , but no tactil response.
i had MP the OP but still no answer.
if you have any suggestion
thanks
how much for the screen? seems that 9023 is cheaper than 9020
80 euros for the less expensive , about 120-150 for the others
I ended up returning the screens from global direct parts and after about a month they gave me a refund.
After being quoted AU $250to get the screen replaced by an authorized repairer I decided to try again and bought a replacement screen on eBay from a seller called stream_beautiful for $86.
Got it today, installed and it works perfectly. No idea why the original screens from global direct didn't work.
I'm sorry to bump such an old thread, but I was wondering if there was any more information on this issue... I ordered an i9023 screen to repair a friend's phone about 2 months ago and had the same issue as the OP with it; touch input didn't work. I then contacted the seller (forceviewer on aliexpress) and he told me he'd replace it. After sending it back I then had to contact him again and send him pictures of the back of the old screen (with which touch input still works) because according to him there are 2 versions. Now I received the second screen a week ago and lo and behold, it exhibited the same problems. I noticed a number on the back of the screen is different, and the atmel IC (which I assume handles the digitizer input) has a different number on it too, however the seller has now adopted the position that it is definitely the correct display (quote: "If the pictures is right
The item will be right
I just send you the one same with your picturs
There are only two version.
Thanks")
Can anyone shed some light on what causes this? I know the guy's company tests their displays before sending them out, so that's probably not the problem, and receiving 2 faulty units in a row would be a bit weird, so I guess there's actually multiple versions (with a different digitizer controller IC?) which aren't compatible with each other... How do I make sure I'm getting the right one for my friend's phone? And, optionally, how would I go about convincing the seller to take this one back too and send me one that really works?
I'm having exactly the same issue...two replacement screens and touch input non responsive, re-install original and hey presto no problem...what I have noticed is that the part number on what I assume is the digitizer is different...
original -> KJ00423-101228-P00-7F-1
replacement -> KJ00423-101228-P00-5F-1
Yeah, my replacement says 6F-1 at the end, I can't check the original right now because my friend has his phone, but I'm willing to bet it doesn't say the same. Maybe I can make my case with this with the vendor, I'd really hate to have to buy another one of these displays for nothing
Guys,
It's the third SLCD screen that one of my fried is replacing to my I9023 Nexus S, and none of them is working. Yesterday he told me that when he bough the third one, the seller told him to "reprogram" the phone, because the drivers for new SLCD will be installed only then.
To be honest I didn't quite understood him, so, I though that the seller means to flash with a ROM. I did that, I installed CyanogenMod 9, everything went fine, but the touch still not working .
Does anyone knows how the phone could be completely wiped. Meaning everything what is in it to be reinstalled from the beginning....
I don't know what else to do, besides to buy a new phone
Hi All,
Just want to ask if anyone came to the solution yet ...?
Cheers,
no touch
Hello
i have the same problem:
1. The display works
2. But no touch reaction
i had bought a new screen for my I 9023 .
thanks for solutions
Yep, I have the same problem.
Original: KJ00423-101216-P00-1F-1
Replacement: (Not responding to touch): KJ00423-110207-P00-1F1
eBay Seller: mike410512
Bump - anyone sort this issue out?
I know this is an old thread, but since I have a shattered SLCD screen and i'm willing to replace it, i'd like to know what to do in case there's no touch response...
To get touch input again
Hi all,
I have smashed my phone screen twice on my S3 i9300. The first time I had the issue with the touch screen not detecting input but displaying correctly, I had taken it to an authorised repair centre and initially they did not know what was wrong.
There is only one way to "fix" this situation. You must remove the custom recovery and then reflash your phone with the stock samsung rom. Flashing the stock rom with stock recovery should pose no problem as it will be "official" and thus not blocked by stock recovery.
After reflashing, you must do a factory wipe + data reset. This is where you change your screen, making sure not to boot the phone for "the first time". If it does not work, repeat the reflash + factory wipe and try again.
The samsung rom will register the new hardware profile, and touch input will work. Why it works this way is beyond me, but taking these steps when changing the screen on a custom rom will ensure that the touch input works. Perhaps custom roms "borrow" drivers left over from stock rom? I don't know.
You can back up your current rom and restore after messing around with the samsung stock rom and you have gotten your touch screen working properly.
I have tried a whole heap of different "solutions" with this problem and this is the only one that works, and if you are taking it to a repair centre, make them aware that you have a custom rom installed.

i'm going to buy a screen + digitizer and i would have some advice about this, what code should i look ??? there are only two kind of screen or more ? what should i ask to the seller ???
Alright so I know that there has been some discussion on this POS model of a phone, but I would love to know before I get the digitizer replaced, if it's a bug or something else.
I guess it started about 8-10 months ago, my brother bought the phone from Mobilicity here in Canada and he let his friend borrow the phone for a call. She dropped it on the cement and the glass cracked. The LCD itself is functioning, but when I got it I had to wipe the device through the recovery menu using Power-X then ALT-L. Anywho every month or so since I got it a few months back for free and long story short it's been glitching out constantly.
Now finally the screen barely works and until I got the "smart" idea to recover it again thinking it would fix but the screen only reads the bottom right side and nothing else. Oh and I'm stuck on that stupid Touch Android to Begin screen. So I'm pretty much SOL'd. Basically my question is this; is it the digitizer, corrupted FW, the phone is just shot or all of the above?
If it's repairable could someone please tell me how to enable usb debugging without the touchscreen or in the very least bypass this Android screen with the keyboard, PC or both? I used Droid Explorer a couple days ago to even control the screen with ScreenCast?
I know of ADB, Input Events, and stuff like that but I really can't figure out what to do. I thought about Clockwork but because the phone has a locked bootloader, I wasn't sure I could even install. Hell I even consider using my other phone to do a NANDROID backup but even that won't work.
So in short what the hell do I do?
I had a faulty digitizer/lcd display and replaced both yesterday. When I first booted up the phone, I was disappointed because I couldn't even unlock the phone. After a few swipes, it unlocked and I checked if my touch screen problems went away. It looked like they did, but every time I tried to unlock my phone, it would still take multiple tries for it to recognize my touch. Very annoying, especially if I get a call. By the time I would get it to recognize my touch the caller would be sent to voicemail, so I tried different lock types but they all had the same problem. The simple solution was to disable the lock screen altogether, but I didn't want my screen to accidentally keep turning on while it's in my pocket so I tried a different rom after backing up. After multiple attempts to install a different rom, I had to use the TMOUS RUU and get back to stock 4.0.3. I'm still having the same problem. I'm pretty sure it's nothing having to do with the digitizer/lcd since they are both brand new and all parts of the screen are responsive once I get past the unlock screen. Anyone else have this problem, and any solutions besides disabling the unlock screen?
where did u get the digitizer/lcd from i had that issue to when i bought a cheap digitiezer with lcd screen from ebay it was low quality.So i ended with buying another one and it worked with that one without issues did u check all connections ? that might be a problem or do u got a screen protector on it i heard about a lot of problems with them too
I don't wan't to discourage you, but when you change displays it's never the same as the original. You've didn't note, if you bought an original HTC Sensation display, but I doubt that it is. Anyway, the problem should be with the micro flat cable connection. I've had the same problem replacing my screen on Samsung Galaxy Ace. You should give it to someone that can try and connect the flat again, but really, don't get your hopes up.
