i have a mda vario 2 ( hermes) i've been installed a rom called hermes_wwe_3.62 Malina2d now phone boots up fine but the touch screen dose not work at all ! can anyone help ? .
To get pass the alignment screen i had to create a file on storage card " welcome.not" and that got me pass alignment screen.
now i am a newbie so please all the help would be appreciated i did have a look for file called touch.dll to replace it but could find one. ( as i read somewhere that might be the problem.
my ipl -1.04 & spl-2.10.01ipro
i really don't know what to do i have tried to re flash the rom no luck there.
all the hardware buttons work fine.
Not sure about that one. Why not post the question in the thread from where you got the rom? That name doesn't ring a bell.
If not try flashing the stock shipped rom, or the at&t stripped to see if the issue goes away. If it does go away, then don't use that rom.
cant really remember where i got the rom from as i the phone is my little sisters. do you have a link for the rom you suggested
My sig has the stripped rom, and the shipped at&t roms. You can also find some programs and my roms there too.
And to be safe make sure that hardspl is installed.
If that doesn't fix it, there might be a hardware issue.
cheers for your help. i am going to download one of your roms and pray that might resolve the issue . what the latest hardspl ? i thought 2.10 was the latest ? how do i tell what is the on i have installed on the phone ? Hardspl and spl are they the same thing ?
If you flash one of mine, flash the at&t rom first, that will straighten out any issues with the memory.
if you have 2.10olipro, your all set! spl (or hardspl) is the bootloader.
no luck still having issue with the touch screen wont wont work.
the touch screen used to work fine before. all this it just became very laggy so i decided to upgrade the rom , i went to thru a few roms.
any other idea ?
i must say i do love your rom everything is set out all nice and neatly shame the touch isn't working.
Thanks for the compliment on the rom!
Sounds like it has some kind of hardware issue. If your inclined to take it apart carefully (I haven't taken mine apart yet), you might be able to check all of the connections, and for dirt or anything that might be the issue.
I believe there are disassemble instructions on the wiki.
Maybe someone with more experience in taking the phone apart can chime in.
touchscreen issue
i m having the stupid touchscreen issue i have tried everything ( including disassembly and removing gasket but it still does not calibrate
starting to hate that phone
Sounds like Digitizer could be dead.... Need to replace the LCD and Digitizer if thats the case.
The trouble with this is there are a few different things that could be causing this and just replacing the LCD might not fix it.
Sounds like it could be though. If you are having trouble, DON'T do a hard reset until you have installed an app called "remote screen alignment", freeware off the net. It copies the alignment info to the PC so you can do a quick alignment using the PC instead of the buggered screen. Otherwise you'll be going in circles for ever without being able to get into the today screen.
Cheers...
actually i have hard reset the device
the trick is to put a file called welcome.not on memory card to skip first time alignment
i'll change screen and see if it fixes itself later
i ll use the phone as it is till then
new lcd
i changed the lcd it worked flawlessly for 3 weeks then bang! the bottom half of the lcd stop to work
i think that the ribbon on the lcd got damaged when i installed it on the hermes the fact that it needs to be turned 360 degrees during assembly cause the problem any thoughts from you guys????

Yes, it's true. My Wizard revived, but with a small problem: the backlight doesn't turn on not even after some Hard Resets and even on bootloader mode, the screen is dim all the time.
I've also changed the settings on the slider with no success and searched the forum and found no answers.
What can cause this and what is the "cure"?
Thanks in advance.
probs it the LCD find out what type of screen it is my mate can get hold f one at a decent price if interested

Thanks for the tip. Is there any way we can fix the light?
The screen works, the touch works, but it's far too dim to use it.
Anyone else?
You say you have hard reset it, but have you tried flashing a different original rom to it to see if that fixes it? It might be a hardware problem with the lcd but i did have an issue once on my himalaya after flashing a new rom and i couldnt get the backlight to work, but after flashing an original rom it worked again and then i reflashed a cooked rom and it still worked

I'll try that!
I've already flashed the original one...maybe flashing it with something else could fix it...
Thanks again
OK, just reflashed with a WM6 ROM (TNT.1933_Professional___HTC_Home_Wizard.rar) but it's the same. I can barely see what's on the screen. The screen works, the touch works, but it's too dim to use it.
So maybe it's not the backlight, I think it's the front light...
I also have dismantled it and cleaned out the contacts, re-assembled and flashed it again with no luck...
Help?

WM6 ROM (TNT.1933_Professional___HTC_Home_Wizard.rar) <---- that isnt an original rom, i am on about a operator rom that was officially released for your device, i.e. mine is an xda mini-s so my original provider would be o2, so i would use an o2 rom update that was released by them.
What you have basically done is install a cooked rom from itsright. Whoever the phone was released by try flashing their original wm5 rom to your device to see if it fixes it. THEN try flashing the tnt rom
Ok, some new developments. The LCD is fine and working and there's no problem with the backlight. I've manage to find that the issue was the mainboard all along.
I've used another LCD (a good one) and the backlight was still on, so the problem might be the mainboard is fried.
So, anyone can help me out? I just need a new mainboard (can be with the USB Connector in bad conditions, cause I have some solder skills).
Please help me out.
Edit: The Thing now doesn't charge properly. After some time, I get a flashing orange led and my Wizard heats up like it's going to blow...
Hi everyone,
Since yesterday my touch hd stopped working! It seems like the touchschreen is not working anymore. Only the power en volume buttons are working.
Because of this I tried to do a hard reset which resulted in the same problem. Now I'm stucked on the align screen. If I press really really hard I can align 3 corners of the 4 on the screen, so I can't get further to the next step.
Im currently in a hot hot Australia which might be the reason for all this. If you have a good look at the screen while turning it horizontally, you can see that one part has weird colours/reflection.
So what do you think? Can I buy a new screen and solve the problem or is there more going on?
Can I have warranty? The device is not having the stock rom on it. Can I maybe control the device and install the stock rom on it using a program on a pc or so?
Aaaaaaany help would be so appreciated! Im using the device as tomtom GPS as well, which I really need to travel to Melbourne next week. So I kinda need your help/advise cause I'm a bit in a hurry....
Thank you very much anyways!

Hi
Do a search on "newton rings" which I believe is the weird color / reflection problem.
As an aside when I knew I was getting a replacement I saw a post that suggested putting the phone in freezer for 10 minutes or so !
I did then wrapped it in tissue to absorb the condensation and it worked !!

Plenty of threads on Newton rings if you search the General Forum like this one.
If its not Newton ring I you want to get past alignment, one method is to skip or bypass the alignment process altogether. Some Chefs do this already, namely Dutty, to among other things speed up the set up process.
How to do it: there are a couple of ways you can find in the forum, however, one way is to create a blank text file called, welcome.not, instead of welcome.not.txt, and place it in the root of your storage card. Next, flash a new rom or hard reset and you're done. It's up to you whether you leave your SD in during flash. I do not. If you do not, after the rom flash, stick your SD in and hard reset. If all goes to plan, the "welcome" phase will be bypassed, any you will not be prompted to align the screen or set the date, location, time etc. If for some reason it does not, go into the root of your SD and manually with your stylus or via activesync on your desktop create a new blank file in there and name it welcome.not. That actually worked for me. If it works then leave it in the root of your SD and it will allow the bypass with each new flash or hard reset.
The screen coordinates should load automatically after the bypass. If for any reason you need them, here are the Blackstone alignment coordinates from HKLM/Hardware/Devicemap/Touch/ Calibrationdata:
511,542 183,881 183,198 834,197 883,880.
Had that problem and you need a new ditigiter. Only problem is you will most likely break the screen replacing the ditigizer. So, the only fix is a new LCD screen and digitizer. You can get them from ebay. I did it and it was pretty easy, just take your time and get the videos and manuals people have posted on here. Good luck.
OK, here what's the deal: a few days ago I cracked the screen, so I bought a new one and replaced it. BUT, now the phone does not recognize it and the screen doesn't turn on at all. The phone boots and it's working fine, I can recieve calls normaly, but the screen is dead. ALSO, the volume keys stoped functioning...
Any ideas please? I'm getting kinda desperate here...
Tnx
You probably messed up somwhere in your wiring. Open it back up and make sure everything is intact. Check out some guides online to make sure everything is in the proper place.
Allready done that, everything is in place...I do have a cooked ROM thought I can't remember which since my screen is not working, obiveously...Could it be tha I nedd to switch back an original ROM for it to be able to recognize the new hardware??? And is there an app that would allow me to monitor phones activity over PC???
No, A cooked rom wont affect a screen replacement in anyway.
I repaired mine while KWBR's Topix 6.5 was on the handset, infact Ive never had this handset on a stock rom, so it wont make a difference or help you.
Did you buy your Screen and Digitizer factory pre-assembled, the small price difference compared to buying the part standalone is worth every cent in preventing these sorts of after repair problems.
Hi all, I've been searching XDA-Dev for a while looking for someone with the same issue, and although I've found similar issues, nothing really helped much...
A few days back, my HTC Touch (ELF) started playing up a bit; the touch screen alignment was a fraction out, not too bad, just irritating. When I tried to re-align the screen (Start > Settings > Screen > Align), it showed the alignment screen with the + symbol. I went through the taps, and after the final tap it's supposed to go back to the 'Screen' settings window, but instead the re-alignment process starts all over again. It got stuck in an endless loop.
I thought a hard reset would fix it, so after backing up all my data I tried it. I still have the same issue, but now I can't get past the alignment screen during the initial device setup, so I can't use it at all..
Just to give a brief run-down, here is what I tried (in this order):
Re-align - No luck, got stuck in an endless loop.
Hard reset - still stuck at the alignment screen.
Re-flash Onyx 6 R10 ROM - same problem.
Try flash different ROM (Onyx 6 R11) - same problem.
Tried re-flashing HardSPL 2.28 - same problem.
Tried installing different version of HSPL (tried 2.26 and 3.10) - SPL doesn't change, problem persists.
I'm going mad trying to figure out what would cause this, I haven't dropped my phone or had it anywhere near liquid or large magnets, so I doubt it's a hardware problem. But at the same time; if it is a software issue, why doesn't re-flashing Onyx ROM fix the issue?
If somebody could help me with trying to get my HSPL replaced, that should either fix it or at least rule out one possible problem.
Anybody got some ideas...?

Its hardware - your digitiser needs replacing. You can run msp_remotealignment which may help push it through.
Better idea yet, use the search feature, there has been a few of these recently which have all teh information you would need.
For HSPL, look in the rom section and post in the right thread for help with that I guess.

And yeah, I'll try there (again). Only reason I asked here was in case the problems were software related, and if so that was one part of my device that I couldn't change for some reason.
Well, since I can't seem to find any more helpful information, in the mean time I've ordered a new digitizer... Once it arrives, I'll replace that and see if that was the actual cause of my problems.
if you get stuck dissambling, theres the guide in the rom section I think - its very detailed and should help.
Sorry i couldn't be much use, Its hard to be when at work.

Thanks, I do remember seeing that guide a while back and (ironically) thinking to myself "I hope I never have any need to do that"... And don't worry, I know what you mean; I'm at work as well. I don't have internet at home unfortunately, so at work is the only place I can really get online.
For the sake of anybody else that has the same problem as what I described here: replacing the digitizer worked perfectly for me, I got my phone up and running again last night. This would've all been done a lot sooner, but I was struggling to find the right screw driver to dismantle it (requires a Torx T5)...
awesome, glad you got it all fixed now
Hello i decide to post here because i dont know right now do is a ROM related problem or no and on the same time here will see it more peoples and hope someon to know what is this.
Yesterday something strange heppand with my Blackstone, without to do anything i just decide to see the time and when i turn on the device was totaly Freeze not reacting on any touch, im using the ROM from my signature from Mounth without any problem. So i was thinking that maybe its from the ROM what i did is Soft Reset few times But this does not help.. the device fully load But the screen is not responsive also the hardware buttons do not vibrate?!!? when i press them they do not react ot anything.
After i saw that the SR not helping i do a Hard Reset and when the device whole load the ROM and preparing for 1st time use i was not able to Calibrate the screen.. the strange thing is that the display react on touch because when im taping in the corners the crozz move and when i do all the steps just start from the begining all the time and i cannot pass this step.
After i saw that this do not help me alot i decide to Flash so i put Manualy the device in Bootloader mode and via PC methoud i flash a Brand new ROM, when the ROM fully load and im going again to the Align Screen i have again the same problem the procedure start over and over and i cannot do anything.
1st i was thinking that something heppand with my Display but i didn`t do anything with the device i mean drop it or damage it somehow.. this heppand like the device is at the table at home and few minutes Befor i speak on that Phone. On the same time Im sure the display react on touch even wrong... because when im pressing the X on the calibration screen is move and befor to do Hard Reset when i was with the ROM from my signature.. and restart few times.. when the phone Load a POP UP of notification appear and the strange things was that i was able to scroll it up and down with fingers so for this reason i was thinking is a Problem ROM and need to HR or FLasdh diferent ROM. The notification Pop Up that appear when you click the Taskbar somewhere you know that you cannot slide it because its static.. so how this heppand i dont know.
PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA what i need to do let me know this heppand for 1st time and i never hear for soooo weird Blackstone.
THank you in advance
P.S Today im 22 November im going to Repair Service here because my device still have One Mounth Warranty left so maybe im lucky or no will see that leter.. i post this because to let you know that its not necassery to drop or damage your device the Display (Digitizer) to Stop working.. in my sutuation the device was static on the table i never drop it and use it 20 minutes befor the display to die i make a call so im using this device from 23 Mounths and i think that just the Display Die itself.. and to be more corect the display still work and show everything but the digitizer DIE so have that on mind
I do now Task29 and re flash again the same problem its like the display reacting on touch but not corect... i think its something serious and i will need new Digitazer or Display or Both?!
Also Reverting Back to stock SPL and ROM do not help..
I think im for Repair Service
Thank you

i still don't understand how the f*** does this fin into ROM development
but anyway it also happened to me,first the digitizer went a bit crazy,then it went completely crazy and than i replaced it with a new one
i did it by myself...it can easily be done if you have any hand skills and can hold a screwdriver
but be really careful with placing the new digitizer over the screen because any irregularity may cause dust to later get in between the two
digitizer is less than 20usd i believe...
lcd+digitizer are 60+ if i remember correctly
if you decide yourself for lcd+digitizer first check if those are already sealed to each other,because if not,you will have the same situation as if you ordered the digitizer only...but with 40+ usd wasted in vain
also be extra extra extra careful while removing old digitizer from the lcd
cheers
If you are stack in the align screen, try first to create a summy file named "welcome.not" and put it in the root of your storage card. This will allow you to go through ROM setup without align. Then check to see if the screen is responding and if not then you most probably need to do what farukb said above.
MOD EDIT - Moved to General discussion as not related to rom development

In my case, the SD card was corrupted and in the next 3-4 days the touch screen is not responding either... I should note that in my case, I followed the advice by Stathis and created a "welcome.not" dummy file in the root of the phone's memory, so it skipped the screen alignment procedure. Unfortunately the screen is responding so I will have to take it to the service center in order to have it checked, in case it is still under warranty (I have bought it 2nd hand).
Otherwise, I will have to order a new screen and try to install it myself. Wish me luck!
Same here, i have some kind of smudge, like oil spill, on the screen. i thought of buying just the digitizer but as i disassembled it, found the digitizer and the display are a set, so don't bother buying just one of the parts.
@tsalta - since you're from BG, check this http://gsm-world.biz/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2630
I successfully repair digitizer on my blackstone! It is hard work but its wotrh it.
Now I have to repair some more HDs. But its strange that all of a sudden all of the HDs I know broke dow in a period of one month... mine broke down at the end of october.
