You mentioned that your screen only reacts in bootloader, but you mentioned 4ext recovery. I assume that you can only get your screen to operate under 4EXT. Did you do a last known backup of the last working rom you had? And did you revert to it?
If not, did you by chance play with the density on the screen?
with bootloader , i meant 4EXT RECOVERY ..
i havent taked any backup /:
- what is the density of the screen? i havent done anything unusual .. suddenly the phone just, wont work in the ROM. the screen only reacts in the 4EXT RECOVERY .
Try a superwipe script and install your Rom again

Ive just finished Super Wiping and then installing the ROM, still the same.. no boot errors or things like that, but as soon as the phone is booted and i have to drag the lock ring i cant .. its like the screen is dead.
why is there nothing wrong with the screens reaction when i use 4EXT Recovery Touch ..
If someone could found out, i would be so god damn happy ..
What firmware are you using? Sorry, I can't post links im on mobile. Anyway, a ruu should fix it... It must be a radio issue (read framework)

Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU ..
thats the firmware i updated to in HBOOT.
What should i do to fix the problem ??
I had the same issue. It is a harware issue with the digitizer, but for some reason it only will work in gingerbread. If you want to use your phone again you will need to downgrade your firmware to hboot 1.17 and install a gingerbread ROM. Go to the guide linked in my signature and scroll down to the "go back to gingerbread" section.
In the end my phone died completely and i wasn't able to use it even in gingerbread ROMs. I'd recommend you to send your phone back to HTC and get the digitizer replaced. That's what i've done and now i'm waiting for my brand new phone
Check up on this posts regarding the same issue:

You need to go back to stock before you send your phone to a warranty repair or else they will void your warranty due to the s-off bootloader and major software changes you've made to your phone (Custom recovery, custom HTC leaked ROM, root privileges).
I'd recommend you to follow this guide to install the stock ROM and go back to s-on. You will need to download the original RUU your phone came with and follow very carefully the steps to go back to s-on. If you fail to install the stock RUU running the .exe file (error 155 or something similar) follow the second method posted in this thread, that will do the trick.
After doing the s-on procedure, if your phone is superCID'ed, you need to revert back to the original CID following the same superCID steps bur writing the stock CID value
Good luck
I'm sure that your screen works again when you are back stockrom.
hey guys i have the same problem on stock gingerbread,, havent rooted or anything..the phone boots and its stuck on the lockscreen,, i cant move the ring,, the screen doesnt turn off on its own,, if i press the power button it locks,, but a repeat press does not wake the screen ( any way out for this problem???
Thanks

You need to either flash boot.img separately of you need to enable smart flash in 4EXT recovery and re-flash your ROM. I recommend formatting all partitions except SD Card in 4EXT recovery before re-flashing. Also, every time you flash a ROM, you will need to flash boot.img separately or enable smart flash again before flashing. Here is the appropriate guide for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345#post25587345

malybru, I've read many of your answers to these kind of questions & the key to finding a kernel not flashed problem is " I'm HTC Dev Unlocked and after flashing XYZ custom rom my (Something) is not working"
90% of these problems are because boot.img is not flashed automatically for HTC Dev unlocked devices, because HTC believes that flashing a custom Kernel, which will allow overclocking, will cause hardware problems that they are obligated to fix. Hence, the solution that I gave above. I don't mean to put you down or anything and it's pretty clear that you know way more than I do, but I thought you probably might have missed this & so, I brought it to your attention
Thanks for your reply man!
But i flashed the 3.32 firmware with the revolutionary hboot 1.27.1100.
So i think im not htcdev unlocked, but full unlocked..
And my vibration worked with virtious last day. So today i flashed virtious again but vibrate didnt work anymore
Maybe i try stock RUU to see if vibrate will work again..
My phone is just 2 days old
Edit: and im s-off
And it doesnt vibrate 1 time at boot..

I said firmware, not ROM. Form here.
Just refladhed 3.32 firmware. All was ok. But still no vibrate..
I've had this a couple of times with my xe.
It first happened when I first bought my xe from eBay.
All I did was gently drop the phone from about half a metre off the ground and it started working again. This method was made the vibration start working for me on both occasions. I dropped it onto a carpeted floor with a rug so damage was unlikely.
I found this solution on other forums so it's not only me who has tried this.
All I will say is I'm 100% serious about this and just be careful. Obviously I'm not responsible if you're a bi heavy handed with you're phone and throw it at the floor - that is not what I'm letting you to do!
When I bought my phone I had the same problem after some time. The vibrate (surplus part of the phone just below the sim card) worked occasionally, but rarely.
I had to send the phone at HTC, they would have repaired the vibrate, everything works fine since.
Thanks everyone for helping me out man.
The thing is i dont want to miss my phone for 3 weeks haha.
I will try to drop my phone softly..

RUU is your only option then.
If it's a software issue, RUU will solve it.
If it's hardware related then you'll need to S On the phone again & send it to HTC.

Thanks ill try your method.
After i s-on again and bootloader is locked, i will run ics ruu. Is that ok?
Just saw this on latest threads. Dunno if this will help as it may be totally different on htc but search for immvibed and libImmVibeJ.so. Then set permissions on those and the folders above, to all. This solved the issue for me in the note and i tried EVERYTHING.

just installed GB ruu on my sensation, all fine but still not vibrating.
BUT i made it to make it S-ON again and my hboot is 1.17.
But theres no pink text saying "LOCKED" OR "RELOCKED" in my bootloader.
It doesnt show anything in pink.
My bootloader's 1st line is just PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
Is it now locked and ok for warranty?? or is it supposed to say locked or relock???

It's supposed to say locked because you were on an engineering bootloader.
Re-flash RUU. Should do the trick.
i think its not supposed to say locked when on a GB rom.. i saw a vid on youtube where it wasnt sayn locked either.

I think when i flash ICS RUU that it'll say locked.
EDIT: updated to 2.3.4 and now saying locked

If you are in fastboot, then go to bootloader.

I've already install the the Digitizer before noticing that there are multiple versions for our phone. I have to slide the circle multiple time before I can log in to the home screen. I already S-OFF, ROOTED and SUPER CID and seems still laggy when pressing text keys when texting or when pressing the lower buttons the home menu file or back or search sometime I have to press it twice to work.
I used the PG58DIAG to calibrate the screen and still acts funny is there a fix to this?
Honestly I think I would try to match the screen as close as possible to the appropriate version for the device. You said there are multiple versions of the screen. Which version would be most appropriate for your device ? Perhaps you purchased the wrong version. Is their a way to find out which is the correct version of screen for your device ? If so, I would purchase the correct version. Perhaps this is what is causing the issue ? It could be the wrong version. This is what I would try if I were you. Its likely that with the correct version you won't have these issues. I hope this helps. I wish you the best. Hopefully with the correct version, it won't give any issues.

I had this same problem. I purchased before finding there were multiple versions. The digitizer was slow, unresponsive, and inaccurate. I am also rooted and am running CM10. I went into the debugging and enabled the option to view touches and found that it was registering screen touches in certain areas and that caused everything to malfunction. It was a faulty digitizer. I was fortunate my seller sent a new one and it was working perfectly.
Unfortunately I broke the LCD on the second digitizer install and now have to replace that! lol
I would suggest you go into the debugging options and enable the options to see what the screen is registering. It will put a dot everywhere it thinks you are touching and you may notice it is a faulty digitizer. Cheap ones from ebay happen to have a pretty high fail rate. It can also have dead spots where your touching doesn't register. Both are hard to diagnose without those settings.
Good luck.

you can change it easily by using a simple command in a command window
when you have supercid you can flash any firmware,radio,rils etc
but i don't think it will help
edit:if you want to do it the command is
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
but first do fastboot getvar cid just to know your original cid
oh..thank's my friend! ..i want to say ..i have the phone for 3 days..and it's working better and bether!

I'm having the same problem with my z710e, it started, I believe, with a Rom update, I'm using viper 1.6.3, my answer is if there any calibration softwware because all the problems seems to be from the center to the bottom of the screen

I need help with this. Yesterday, the screen of my HTC Sensation Xe began to fade, not due brightness settings but out of itself. I immediately thought a reboot would fix my issue so I went and rebooted my phone. Turning it back on resulted in the screen being nearly all blacked out.
When holding the phone under a bright lamp I can see a little bit of the screen so I have verified it is still working but the screen stays dark. I have tried nearly anything, boot screen (not visible enough), keeping the battery out a while, keep the phone turned off a while, nothing seems to work.
I have had this phone for around 10 months now, I recently flashed the latest paranoidandroid rom. My phone is S-OFF as well.
I have searched every forum for a solution but I can't find any clear info.
I hope it is the battery causing this issue so I don't have to send my phone back to HTC.
If you have any ideas or solutions, please share them with me.
Thanks in advance.
Bump, I really need help with this.
Unfortunately it looks like a fault with the screen, it didn't sound software related at all. Hopefully I'm wrong but I have had similar problems with dark screens in the past and it always meant screen replacement. Good luck hope you get it sorted

Yes it sounds like the screen It's self unfortunately.you can try replacing yourself if you don't want to send it in. They have some how to videos on you tube that seem pretty good. But either way it sounds like it will need repair . I wish you the best! Good luck

Thanks for the replies. I have given up searching for a solution for this and the only thing left is getting it repaired. I have a big problem though. My phone still boots the paranoidandroid rom which you can see if you keep the phone under a lamp or something, this will most likely remove my warranty if they see I am using a custom rom right? I am out of ideas right now..

Change your CID to HTC__001, then flash a WWE RUU. Then S-ON by doing fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 in the bootloader.

Hi,
I am new to this forum.
Few days back, I bought a sensation XE on ebay where the seller claims to have run an update and after that, the display backlight wouldn't go on again.
I thought that he screwed up somewhere and I could just flash a lower version and everything would be fine.
But once I got it and entered the bootloader (default one, no root it seems), the light wouldn't go on either. Somewhere I read that this is an indicator that there is a hardware problem which is causing the error since the bootloader is kind of software independant.
Is that right? I just wanted to make sure, before I digg into either way.
Or is it possible that it realy is a software error?
Any advice would be greatly apprechiated
Kindest Regards

Question is: can this be a software error that could have come from something gone wrong while updating or does this show that it has to be a hardware error?

maybe I should rerephrase the question:
If there is no backlight shining in bootloader, can this be caused by a firmware error or does this HAVE to be a hardware error?
