Hi everyone,
I've read some topics here with similar symptoms but none of the solutions worked for me yet.
here's my problem:
- screen not responding
- all physical buttons working
- can boot into winmo ==> but cant interact with it since no input possible by touch
Tried:
- hard reset. When I click explorer + messaging it just boots...
- go to bootloader mode: hit reset while holding cam button it just goes on and boots!
didnt try mtty yet, but I wonder if it will work since when I plug the phone to my PC (tried 4 pcs at home with 7 and XP SP3, 1 at work) the battery charges but the phone is not recognized by windows (nothing on the screen, nothing in peripherals etc... )
Is it dead ?? Can I reflash it somehow ?? Where is Waldo ??

I flashed my XDA Exec with Leo's V7 Videocall ROM which all appeared to go fine until I performed the hard reset to reinstall.
It rebooted to the white screen asking you to press 0 to reinstall or X to exit, so I pressed 0. The screen briefly displayed a 'clearing' message and then went blank. There is no further response from the unit from any input except when I try to hard reset the device and reinstall again.
Just soft resetting the device only continues to give a blank screen and trying to power on the device in a normal manner also only gives a blank screen.
Windows XP fails to recognise the device when it is plugged in via USB either at the hard reset screen or soft reset or complete power off (remove battery, etc) then power on.
I updated to ActiveSync45 prior to the first hard reset.
Does anybody have suggestions or ideas on how to un-brick this Universal?
seems broken DOC chip. how many years you UNIVERSAL
It's about 18 months old now.
What is the DOC chip and why would it only fail at an upgrade?
Try a re-flash
Hi have you tried re-flashing the device?
Enter BootLoader mode, hold Power & BackLight button & press Reset, this will show Serial or USB on the screen. Start the flash off again or try another Rom (maybe the one you have is corrupt)
Cheers,

Hi Beast,
Yeah, I stumbled across these instructions today (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen) and will give that a go tonight when I get home.
Thanks for the suggestion - I'll report back once I've tried it.
jamver - did you charge before flashing your new BIOS? it can go blank just because the battery could be dying and despite seeing some charge in the indicator, in fact the batt would be exhausted.
Hi jamver, I also encountered the same issue as you a few months back. Symptoms sound similar. I tried the points described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289325
Also, upgraded my bootloader and the device came back to life. One thing I learned also is that not all USB cables are made the same. If you find one USB cable doesn't work, you may want to try another. (my case, using a poor quality cable resulted in the "serial" word on the screen not changing to "USB")
Good luck and all the best!
Fixed
Thanks for the help guys. Manually putting it into bootloader mode and re-flashing it worked.
WM6 is significantly faster than any image of WM5 I've used!
hello,
i've ever meet this problem.. but after reflashing in bootloader mode all restart pefect !
Hello, I have a PDA Eten glofiish M810, and I have a problem now will explain it to what is
success. While performing a ROM upgrade a few days ago, the update
that fails and the PDA connected to your PC, turn off the display (display neroooo).
I try to restart it, removing battery but nothing, the buttons light up
normally but display BLACK. What the hell happened?
So I do try as hard reset, power + soft reset (anything), power + soft
reset + cam (nothing) etc etc. .... but I feel lots of hard reset the PDA is restarted
(I notice the buttons that will go off) but the display is always black. Provo
directly to install a ROM Journal (ps. when I connect the PDA to the PC, the
PC sees me quietly MS Active Sync works normally) but the bar
Progressive does not go forward remains at 0%, nothing!
I followed instructions .... Power + rec (no red button on the camera) and then go with
the pen .... for many seconds? 1 made 5 made 10 made 1 minutes did take off .....
the stylus, Dividend fingers .... NOTHING! but a screen comes out .... kind of testing
normalemte touchabile (1 for CPU, RAM 2 ....) but it is a screen type under
screen "in the sense that it is difficult to see it ... in fact I could normally
viewed over a light projected on the screen .... trying and trying again
(power-rec and stylus) screen testing no longer appears but the logo now appears
Glofish (always under the screen and view it through projected light) ... but after
ten seconds disappears ...
I upgraded directly from SD. but the result is always the same.
I know some of you help?

First of, I have a problem getting into the bootloader as I've said in my post: forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=759279
I've been using Kostas244's ROM -> www . forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=554071 for a few months now, no problems until now.
What happened: The touchscreen began to not respond to my input, slowly and gradually for a few days. I clicked on a few things, something else was triggered. So I figured I only had to reboot the phone. Now I can't get even use my phone.
My phone activies: Calls, SMS, Alarm, Play Solitaire, Taking Photos. That's about it. Nothing else.
Now I can't seem to enter the bootloader (Camera Hold + Power) during startup, can't get into the system cause the slider reacts just once and then it hungs up. Freezes for a while, then after I shut down the screen and turn it on again it simply does not respond at all.
First time I could enter my security code, but then I couldn't enter my PIN code so I took out my SIM CARD - then I couldn't enter my security code and nothing seems to be working.
Right now my phone ask me to enter a code due to "several bad atempts to get into the phone" and I could only press q (whatever I would input, it simply gave me a q and then nothing) and that doesn't do me any good.
Just a few minutes ago I tried forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?t=636170&highlight=bricked+my+cruise&page=2 on the thread ( forum xda-developers com / showthread.php?t=636170&highlight=bricked+my+cruise&page=2 ) who seemed to have a similiar problem as mine - the touchscreen isn't working.
But I don't have Windows XP (if that's the case it's not working) and the guides seems to point that it has to be in RGB mode (bootloader) and that is not working either.
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions I could try? This just happened out of the blue, I hadn't done anything with the phone for a whole day and it just began acting like this. No damage to the phone has been made or anything out of the ordinary. So it sounds like a software problem, but I can't seem to get past it.
I use Linux 64 and Windows 7 64 if there's solution to connect to the device on either Operating Systems.
Thanks anyway.
To enter the bootloader screen press the camera button an the reset button at the bottom of your phone 'the little hole next to the usb'.
You could try hard reset press and hold both bottom buttons and reset 'you will lose your contacts sms ect' so back up using pimbackup.
If your digitizer is not working 'doesn't respond to touch' try sync your phone and install mymobiler/,then you can browse you phone and backup to sd card before hard reset.
Already tried that, as I included in my previous post about getting access to the bootloader. I can't get into the bootloader with Camera Hold + Reset. Nothing happens, it's as if the buttons don't respond correctly.
Hold down both "bottom buttons"? You mean GPS and IE buttons? Tried that too. Tried a few others. And I'm certain this worked before. Like I said in my post, nothing has happened to the phone recently - it just started acting this way. So I'm guessing it's more a software problem than a hardware problem. Since I have HARD SPL and a homecooked OS the chances of it being that is a probability.
I have nothing that needs to be backed up, so I don't need to do anything about that.
Hi
I have same problem. Screen doesn't react (only if press hard), and i can't enter bootloader and make HR.
Also, I had same problem 2 month ago. But I managed to revive it - made a lot of try of HR and one of them was successful. but now it is dead again and I don't know what to do...
Guys,
I am really in a fix. It seems my HTC Diamond 2 is stuck at the first screen (all black with HTC written in grey). I cant access my phone book and the operations are extremely slow. I have tried doing the soft restart by pressing button next to the stylus. Please help. Also as yo may have guessed I am extremely basic in my knowledge of technical stuff so please try to keep it as basic as possible. Any Kind of Help will be appreciated.
I guess you could start off with taking out your battery... But I guess you already did that?
Same Issue
Hi, I'm having the same problem described above, but worse. I have an HTC Diamond 2. It stays at the logo screen (black screen with HTC letters in white). It doesn't pass anywhere from there. I've tried using the reset button on the back near stylus, tried the hard reset (Vol Up/Down + Power key) but it doesn't respond. There's an option that "works": If I press the 'call' key + power button, it shows an update menu with the following: 1. Update Logo 2. Update OS 3. Update Eboot 4. Format User Space 5. Return; none work except for the format user space option, but it does nothing.
I've tried also from the PC but it doesn't recognize the device via USB. I downloaded Active Sync, and an update wizard from HTC.com but still no success in recognizing the device.
Please help me, I need this phone to keep working, I don't know what triggered the problem..
Hi all,
I've a Samsung Nexus S here from a friend of me.
The phone was rooted and flashed with Cyanogenmod 10.1. Without any special action the phone doesn't power on again after a reboot (during a software update CM10.1). There's nothing. Only a black screen. No lights! Nothing...
I've tried to power on it for several times. I've tried to start it into the download mode and the fastboot mode. But only a black screen. My computers Mac, Linux, Windows are detecting nothing when I'm connecting them to the phone.
Do you've any ideas for unbrick this nexus s?
regards
Marco

That's exactly what I'm working on right now.. Let's start with the basics.. Do you have a good cable (tested with other micro-usb devices?)? If so, on Linux, under terminal, does the lsusb command show any Samsung devices while connected?
Hi,
I have a similar problem.
My Nexus S suffers from the power button bug with the power button occasionally not working. When I turned it off today (using the terminal as I always do) it shut down as normal. However, when I tried to start it again it, it would not boot. When I press the power button (it usually works to start the phone, it just does not work within the recovery / OS), the backlight turns on but there is no vibration and it does not proceed to the Google logo. Similarly if I try to start it using the charger, the backlight turns on but it does not proceed from there.
Linux does not recognise the device, i.e. neither dmesg nor lsusb show any output. Therefore I cannot use the Unbrickable Resurrection tool.
Would doing that be helpful?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/development/i9020t-nexus-s-development-platform-aka-t1566475
I cannot enter Fastboot or Download mode. Again, only the backlight turns on.
Is it a hardware fault?
Has anyone had similar problems?
Thanks.
Yes, it will if yours is a i9020a or t. BUT you need a VERY steady hand and PROPER soldering equipment.. I had mine in Dev mode but it wasn't flashing anything, so I thought I didn't do something right, took it all back apart, and 20 mins and a popped micro resistor (from too much heat from the soldering wand) later, I had a completely dead phone.. So if you attempt it, be very careful.. If you don't feel comfortable you can do it, I would definitely find someone who can..
