I just received a refurbished phone that I purchased from eBay. However when I turn on the phone, I am not able to use the touchscreen. It does not respond when I press the screen, The 3 buttons on the bottom work, and the side buttons as well. Also when I turn the screen sideways, the screen does go into landscape mode. Currently I am stuck at the screen where it asks you to choose your language. I would like to install a custom ROM on this phone, but I can't even go into the settings to turn on USB debugging mode. Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on?
Try to return it u got a hardware problem. U can always try to open it up make sure all the cables connected. That I don't know how to do.

You can try pulling the battery, going into recovery and doing a reset. I had that once when i installed a new rom. Cache wipe and reset fixed it for me.
Otherwise it does sound like you got a defective phone.

My Moto Droid A855 has a dead screen, but I can see it on my desktop IF I can get USB Debugging mode enabled, in which its off at the moment.
My screen is DEAD, nothing can be seen, but the touch screen works. *I was able to unlock the phone*
I flashed stock 2.2 back onto my phone but now debugging mode is off, and my screen is dead, so I dont know how to re-enable it.
Does anyone know how to enable it without a screen?
come on! any replies ? my phone is dead too! i accidentally uninstalled launcherpro which replaced my LGHOME and now stuck at android booting screen with debugging mode off!
I was hoping there was a way to enable USB Debugging with a dead screen myself.....after a bad Rom flash I lost my touchscreen functionality.....Bad move when I Hard reset and found that I am stuck on the "Touch Android" screen to activate... with no conceivable way to "touch Android..."
You can use ADB while inside the recovery. Why are you trying to turn on debugging if I may ask?
Find someone with the same phone. Pull the battery on yours and reboot the other one. Power yours up. Now that both phones are on, navigate the good phone to where the setting is to debug. The same time you're doing that, do the same screen presses on the one with the bad screen. Only problem is you said you flashed stock back on. It's going to want to activate the phone and set up Gmail info. Good luck!
Hi all !!! Sorry for my English but I need your help
I commented what is happening with my phone N5 (which for good and evil is always stock without root or anything, with corresponding OTA updates.)
1- Yesterday afternoon at lunchtime while reading a book in playbooks, I notice that suddenly disappears one line and then appeared intermittently. I close the app and noticed the same thing happening on the screen menu. I shut down the cell and turn on again and I thought it must be an application be kidding. But still does.
2 Also yesterday I happened to change the security on the phone screen. After a while of normal operation, try to turn it on the screen with the button, nothing, the screen goes "black", with light and retrolight turned on but no picture no nothing .
Called the cell to see if it works or is turned off and the phone rings but the screen nothing. Try turning it off and on again by holding the on / off / lock button and the phone restarts, but the screen nothing. In one such attempt to do the above it is seen that managed to turn it off. And I get it on and do a normal boot, except that the picture of my screen is changed to the original. Change the lock screen which was previously using (slip). And it seemed that out or some conflict with the lock. In one of those again pressed the ON / OFF / lock as would normally and it starts all over again.
After I magically back to life, I want to make a full wipe as I think it should be an app that is doing some conflict or something. BUT ....
3I turn off the phone and then press the keys VOLUME UP / DOWN and ON / OFF is normally off, squeezed the first screen with the options but options RECOVERY / BOOTLOADER appears in red I choose RECOVERY give the ok with the key and .... andriod robot appears with the legend below that says something (I do not remember well) without or without controls options appears. So its seems thatI dont have recovery.
After that keep pressing the key ON / OFF and the phone turns off and / or reboot normally. All this I did it again to see if the error reappears and looks that I do not have recovery.
The failure of the screen is increasing. I dont know if they are separate problems or is it all the same problem.
Sorry if I was too long but I need the help of you.
UPDATE Now it seems that the screen died, since I do not achieve to turn it on as before, the light and the retrolight its ok. The phone receives calls and notifications but the screen stills black.
Thanks all.

sometimes things just "derp". itll happen more often if you dont reboot your phone often. also, your phone will be a little bit more responsive if it gets reboot once a day or two.
RMA or fastboot it back to stock, if the screen doesnt turn on afterwards then it looks like a hardware issue, open device and reconnect the display.

Thank you Republicano!!
I think too that its a hardware issue. I already see on you tube problems like mine.
Thanks again!!
Hey guys,
just replaced my screen by myself and it isn't working. It boots and the screen lights up for a few seconds but thats it. So it seems like I ****ed up somewhere. :/
Now I've got some questions for you guys.
1. What could cause this error? Since it's already not working I don't mind taking it apart some more and trying to fix it.
2. Do you think if I send it to the support from OnePlus they will take a look at it?
3. The whole reason I did this was to get my data back. Is there any way to access the data on the phone without the touchscreen? I encrypted it using CynogenMod. USB-Debugging is enabled.
Thank you so much guys, I'd really appreciate some help. This **** is really tearing me down since it was a lot of work.
I did this on my own phone but Idk about OPO. If you use the power+voldown method to boot into recovery (yes ik nothing on screen) then connect a usb and see what happens
If you power it on, wait 5 mins then call it and if the phone rings you should be able to rule out the display and speakers and storage, obvs if the display is still not on at this point it is probably the display.
you can also adb from recovery and or fastboot so you should be able to see it in there if it is still working (make sure you change the phone for a decent amount of hours before you do any of these) If the display is dead its likely its been on for the last day and dead
Sorry for the late answer, really appreciate your help!
So if I connect the phone to the PC (tried it in recovery and in normal mode) windows detects the phone under "Devices" but sadly if I type in "adb devices" in cmd it doesn't detect the device.
But still, windows is detecting the phone so it seems to still function. I booted into recovery and I could use the touscreen and the lower buttons. I couldn't see anything but it was vibrating whenever I was using the touscreen. So it seems like only the display part is broken.
Can't call the phone since it's fully encrypted so I need to type in a password before booting anything (recovery, normal mode, ...)
I'll try to contact the vendor of the display and see what he has to say.
If anyone got any more tips I'd appreciate them. I'm a pretty big noob so I even appreciate "common sense" tips.
I know this may be a "common sense" thing to say, but double check your connections. Sometimes the connectors aren't made properly and a pin could be covered so you can try connecting and disconnecting several times to see if it clears up.
Since the touch screen was registering and vibrating, then it could be the backlight that's broken. Try holding a flashlight at an angle and see if you can make out anything on screen. If it's the backlight, then you can probably back up your data in case your phone does end up breaking.
reconnected everything multiple times and also tried the flashlight trick. sadly with both no luck
but something good:
adb recognizes my phone in "recovery"
bad news: no commands work, most likely because the phone is encrypted. if I enter a command nothing happens, it looks like its loading forever.
any ideas?
Hey!
I also had the same problem after I replaced OPO's screen about one year ago. The replacement screen was from ebay.
I could see the Cyanogen logo but after a few seconds the screen became black. Booting into recovery mode worked well.
On the video also ROM boots well but the screen stays black.

Eventually, the screen was defective and I returned it and bought new one.
Hey guys. I'm pretty desperate so i decided to make this thread.
Here is my problem:
I have changed screen on my phone today. Everything went without any problems since I tried to turn on the phone.
When I tried to turn it on I can see only MI logo on display ... Then after couple of seconds phone will restart automatically and goes into Recovery mode.
I tried to boot it from there without any results. Also tried to reset and wipe data without any results.
The biggest problem is that I cant even get into Fastboot menu by pressing Power button + volume down button. So I cant connect my phone with PC and try to flash new ROM.
Any suggestions? I would be really thankful for any advice.
Thank you very much.

Did you follow a tutorial for replacing the screen on your device? Where did you get the screen from? Was your screen replacement just the Touch Panel or the full screen replacement with LCD + Touch Panel? Was it an actual Xiaomi part or an aftermarket part? I would take your device apart again and make sure you didn't leave something loose or disconnected.
Quick question. Was you old display still working where you could see what was going on? Like, was it just cracked or was it completely inoperable?

Thanks for reply. Yes I followed complete tutorial on youtube. Screen is from ebay. It should be original. I replaced full screen ( lcd + touch panel ).
So found simillar problem as mine - due to improper installation of back cover volume up button was pressed which caused that phone went to recovery menu after start ... ( you have to hold volume up + power key to get to Recovery menu). So I tried to dismantle it again but it didnt help. Still have same problem.
Yes old display is alright. I can see everything just touch screen is broken so I cant do anything on it. But I cant imagine this would be problem of display ....
Give your craftsmanship and handiwork the benefit of the doubt and install your old LCD+Touch Panel and see what happens. If you have everything installed correctly with every cable connected to it proper location then you should be able to boot normally.

Heu guys,
So I received a P30 as a gift yesterday, it said it had an update so it downloaded. Then it said it needed to be at 20% to install the update so I just left it until later when I could get to a charger. The thing is, I also didn't have a sim card in it.
I pulled the sim slot with the phone turned on (install pending) , and as soon as I did that I got a new black screen of death, nothing like in any of the videos online.
This one allows me to interact with the screen, however the entire screen stays black except for about 50% of the top (like I can see 50% of the battery icon) notification area. The tiny section of the screen that turns on also looks sorta wonky, like screens often do when they get water damage.
I've been able to turn it off, by guessing where the power buttons were. I *think* I even got it to the hard reset menu, but not being able to see, I can't type on the screen. It does react to the soft reset (power + volume down) but when it turns back on, it won't even show the logos on boot, everything still stays black minus a section of the notification bar.
Is there a way to do a hard reset without being able to interact with the screen at all? Can I do it using my computer somehow?
I know the screen is not broken because I can interact with it. Also on 1 of the 30 soft resets I did, the screen flickered some sort of error message for a quarter of a second, so fast all I could do was see it was text.
I'd just return the phone but it was a friend's old work phone and there is no way to get a replacement.
I recommend you to use Hisuite on a computer, try to connect the phone (I said try because you must select the type of connection on the phone). If the phone connects to Hisuite, use the recovery option to reinstall the default firmware. Good luck!

this might be my only option. I was trying to find something just like that. Couldn't figure out if there was a software for it or not. Thanks will try when I get back to a computer tomorrow!
