What happens when you turn the device on ? Does nothing happen or do you get a white screen or something like that?

Hi,
I have this problem too and I got "the nice white screen of death".
The phone's working (can recv calls) but the white screen...
The press and hold the red btn is not working in this case and I thing it could be HW problem.
Now the device is in the drawer waiting solution!
Did You find?

If you can receive calls, It may be a hardware problem. Try entering bootloader to see if it still displays the white screen. If it does, try a hard reset, and if that fails, try reflashing a ROM (It shouldn't matter that you can't see what's happening on the device as you should be able to control it all from the computer).
If all that fails, I think the most likely cause is a loose connection between the screen ribbon cable and the device mainboard.

Thanks,
The white screen remains after hard reset , after reflashing rom and after changing the LCD with the working one.
The ribbon connector is prooved !
Because of the block diagram showing that CPU is directly connected to the LCD I think it could be the CPU. But if the CPU is malfunctioning the whole device must be dead!!
That is why I try to find some scheme to observe the connection but ... nothing on the net!
The other one is to change the CPU ( I have the other one not working Prophet) but at the test I could receve an error msg because of the chaged CPUs ID.
Do you have any idea what is better to do!?
Waiting

Stuck at screen adjusting!! (Broken screen on p3600)

Hi i recently got this htc p3600 with broken touchscreen, the lcd is fine but the touchscreen have some cracks in it.
I don't know anything about what versions of roms etc is in it. All i know is that windows mobile's in it.
When i start up the phone i get a green windows mobile screen witch says that i should click anywhere on the screen to calibrate the screen. I do htat because i can't do anything else and then this X shows up and i am suopposed to click on it in order to calibrate the screen.
I'm doing this, first in the middle then it moves to each corner but when i clicked all the corners i goes back to the middle nad starts over agaiN!!
I've clinged this stupid X for like 15 minutes now but nothing seems to happen!! Whats the problem? Can it be locked to the sim-card i've inserted??? Please help me!

guess you will have to replace the digitizer.othewise, you may try connect it with active sync and delete the call program from auto run - hopefully theres some default cal data in it.

Don't really understand what you're saying, im new to this phone and i got i broken. ALready ordered a digitizer but i want to test it out now. Tried to add a calibration value to the registry but i cant do anything because its locked.
So i think enableing rapi will o the trick but i cant start the phone to start the enable rapi program :/:/
Is there any other way to bypass this screen? Like killing the process with some taskmanager??

go search for remotecalibration.exe

G1 won't boot

Hi all... and sorry for my bad English ;-)
I've got an HTC G1. When I try to start it, nothing happens. Only the backlight turns on ... What can I do?

do you have a rooted g1 with recovery and engineering SPL?

No, it isn't rooted...

Is it brand new? I think you should be able to exchange it, if you got it from a store that is; unless you got it from online then you will have to contact the website and see where that goes.

No, it isn't brand new. Someone gave it to me... So i can't exchange it.

Try to boot it thru camera+power holding. Wont help you if success but at least will tell you where the problem.

if he can go to recover mode screen wont remain completely black as far as i know. Because splashscreen appear before recover (or other) mode starts. I might be wrong of course.

If I try to go into the recovery mode thru camera + power button, nothing happens. Only the backlight turns on (black screen with backlight & keyboard backlight...)

Follow first 6 steps in this form...

tihs should boot your G1.... then if you want go on ahead with other rooting steps to root your g1..

I tried the first 6 steps, but it won't work. I think I can't entry bootloader mode. On step #4 (...)You should see a gray/white screen with instructions(...)
nothing happens on my Phone. :S
Isn't it possible, to flash the bootloader/firmware over USB or something like that?

*push* no solution?

are you sure the phone does not boot? Does it rumble when you first turn it on?
I have a similar problemb, but my phone will completely boot and work, but the lcd does not work it stays black. i can move apps around (they rumble when you pick one up), and i can recieve calls.
I was able to get it to occasionally boot with the lcd working by rebooting the phone with call+menu+power. It worked long enough to reflash the rom to rc29, and boot into it. Then it died shortly after.
mine is going to htc.

Yes, it does rumble when I turn it on, but I think it doesn't boot. So I can't "move apps around" or "recieve calls"
And I can't use the warranty, because I'm swiss.

another way to tell if it actually boots is plug it into a pc after giviing it enough time to boot, and listen for the usb connection notification sound your phone should make.
just trying to help you narrow it down. When i am contacted by HTC i will be sure to try and get as much info from then as possible. hopefully ill get something that might help you.
Since you wont have to worry about voiding your warranty, I also suggest snagging the factory service manual and make sure all the flex cables/connectors pertaining to the lcd are properly connected. This, of course, is under the idea that you have the same problem as me.
good luck

When I plug the phone over usb into a PC, the pc find it as "HTC Android Phone USB Device".
Hmm I don't think, that the LCD is broken, because the backlight turns on... If the lcd is broken, the backlight won't turn on, right?

the backlight on mine would also stay on. then again my lcd worked intermittenly at first and proceded to work less and less, but the backlight would remain on. However, I think your problem differs from what I encountered.
The fact that your pc recognizes the phone means the usb controller is working, but thats about it... I am just trying to find out for sure if you phone boots or not. That will help narrow down the problem for sure.
Have you tried calling it from another number?
It also never hurts to take a peek at the factory service manual... if you havent already

thank you. hmm... I think I can't recieve phonecalls.. but I'm not sure. (I tried it, but yeah i don't know. xD it doesn't rumble or something like that...) Is it possible to have "remote" on the phone? So I can use it over the PC?

They have shipped my phone back. Apparently the screen dying was a side effect of the keyboard going bad...The keypad did not give me any problems though. I was told they replaced the keypad FPC (part no: 73H20137-41M, pg#102 in the service manual). They replaced nothing else.
Unforutnately they did not have any more info to give me. In your case, i would suggest opening it up and checking all the flex cable connections to ensure they are properly and fully attached. of course this check is not really for the faint of heart technically speaking, but it shouldnt be too bad with the service manual as a disassembly/assembly guide.

are there any tutorials how to open the g1? =)

Wierd Screen Issue

Hi,
I've flashed my phone (HTC Touch Pro) with Hardspl and then the latest Energy ROM.
Everything went perfectly and I was impressesd with how simple and easy it was and how much difference the ROM made to the phone.
Today, while using the camera, the screen went blank.
I tryed turning the phone off, pulling battery and a hard reset but its still the same.
Even after hard reset, the screen is blank but if i press the power button, on the second press, I get a flash of whats on the screen and then it goes blank again.
Should I try to reflash the phone again?
I've searched but not found the same issue
Thanks

The touch screen is still working and sometimes i can see the display, but its very dark and hard to read. Is the flex cable that needs changing?
Why would it stop working so suddenly?
Should i take it apart to reseat it?

Ok, I've found the same issue in a few other peoples phones but they seem to have beeen resolved by sendin the phone back under warantee.
I dont have that option unfortunatly so need to find a fix.
The only thing wrong with the phone is the screen backlight that suddenly failed
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction please? I cant find a definite diagnosis anywhere
New Flex cable?
New Screen?
Pray?
Thanks

Back to stock SPL and stock ROM
Still no luck

Black screen & no recovery!!!!

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.
