I had a strange issue recently with my build (below). I had a 'normal' data freeze and rebooted, but when I did, apparently a message was waiting and some appointment on my calendar was due. This seemed to really slow down WM and HaRET ran very slowly before booting Android. However, after Android booted, the touchscreen was locked and wouldn't slide out of the way. In fact, the screen darkened and shut off just as if I wasn't touching the screen at all. I did receive a phone call, which worked, but touchscreen was still unresponsive.
So I tried rebooting again. This seemed to lock up JMZ Dual Boot and not allow me to boot up Android. Moreover, it locked my touchscreen in WM! I have pocketshield installed, and after cover screen showed up, I couldn't move it away. I tried rebooting, taking the battery out for 5 minutes, etc. and no luck.
Ultimately, I resolved this by a HARD RESET of the phone. Lost my windows setup which will take some time to repair, but since I use Android most of the time, maybe it doesn't matter?
Anyway, posted this in case others are having this problem, maybe there's a theme.
editted: ok, touchscreen stopped responding again, in WM and Android, while the unit was just sitting on my desk. I'm now thinking hardware problem...
yes i have the same problem since a ~week. NO TOUCHSCREEN... i have flashed maybe 100 different roms, but no luck... even when i install the original vodafone rom with radio and downgrade to spl 1.48 it doesnt work... this must be an android issue i think.
yesterday i was in the vodafone shop and they give me an NEW HD2 ))))).
now im waiting for an solution about that problem and hope someone will fix it. untill that i will stay on WM6.x. i dont think, i will get another new HD2^^
sorry about my bad english! im german...
ps: when i started the hd2 there was an picture of an WORLD MAP for ~one second. maybe this helps. i think there is something in the front of the orange screen. something with "yes" or "no" option. but i cant see it.

I have a g4 8125 and tried to flash black diamond 2.0 using shelltool. I followed all the instructions, but I may have messed something up. I installed the enablerapi and certspcs files on my phone, but i realized later that i did this after turning off my radio. After flashing I made a hard reset, and now it just comes to the cingular splash screen and shows my ipl, spl, gsm and os (which it says is 6.0.0.0) and doesn't load anything. Anyone have any ideas? It won't connect to activesync either.
edit: sorry for my ignorance, thanks for the help though!

Hello there.
This is my first post, and I hopefully pray that I don´t get a "Please Do a search" kind of answer as I have been doing a hard search through the forum but haven´t found what I´m looking for. Probably I´m just using the wrong search terms but english is not my native language so I´m not sure how to look up for this issue.
First, I unlocked the sim of my device by sending it to a third party. Afther that, the phone came with a Wizard-Love OS installed, and finally I got excited and started to mess around with the Shelltool to get the device upgraded to WM6. (It´s a G4 by the way).
First I successfully upgraded to wm6 wee htc wizard v5.2.660, but then I found that the keyboard mapping was all wrong with the shown special characters (they weren´t where they were supposed to be at all), so i tried messing up with the registry trying to select a local language for spanish with no success at all....
Also I was having some issues trying to connect to internet via wi-fi even when I did get connected to the network, but did not test it hard enough.
Then I went farther trying to "shelltool" a Black Diamond 2.0 Touch rom, but then everything became a real mess... The Shelltool said that it was finish only like 4 to 5 minutes after starting so I disconected and Hard Reseted the unit. Don´t remember if I disabled the radio before flashing it, nor if I had the sd card installed on the device at the flashing momment, but definetly i had reinstalled the cert_spcs and EnableRapi cabs prior to this seccond attempt.
After the hard reset, it started but freezed on the first screen showing the ipl, spl, gsm and os (which it says is 6.0.0.0). Then I hard reset like two more times, with no luck. Then I entered on the bootloader mode, but after trying that for a while the phone stopped responding. It did not turn off, so I removed the battery. Then when I put the battery back the unit did not turn on at all. Even it did not show the charging red light when I connected it to the usb nor the wall ac adapter. I was devastated... I leaved the unit with the battery out all the night and the next day I reinstalled the battery to see that the device did turn on and did charge, but still it was locked on the splash window.
I tryed to reflash the unit using the bootloader under windows xp, after killing the activesync connection and using the wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WEE_Novii_CF2 rom. The unit showed a progress bar so the pc and after 10-12 minutes it was done. I Hard reseted the unit but then it always started on the bootloader screen as if I was pressing the camera button.
Hard reseted, soft reseted, battery out and in, no luck. Then it went dead again. It did not turn on at all and no charging light. Once again i leaved the unit all day without battery and send it to the friend that had unlocked the sim for me. He just called me and told me that the unit was now up and running again with wizard_love rom. I´m really not sure how he did it. Probably i did something with the sd inserted when it was supposed to be out. I did flashed the wizard love on bootloader with the sd inserted but i´m not sure if that could have make the mess.
I would like to know if anyone have had this kind of lock up and how to deal with it (how much time to leave the battery out, etc). Also I will love to know how did my friend (he wont tell me as is it´s bussines and he charges for it) finally restarted my unit flashing wizard_love again, as I´m still too curious to not try to flash my unit again and probably be on the same mess once again.
Thanks in advance.
That's a lovely 1st post. If every one is to be like that.. it would be just to nice to help others.
Anyway, this may not sound logical, but I get problems with Shelltools when I do not have the official ROM flashed before another flash. What I would suggest is that, you ought to have an official ROM (check Wiki to download your official ROM flashing EXE), which seems to get me out of trouble a few times.
Also, it maybe wise to check your battery before any flashing attempt, make sure it is 100% (60% will do mostly, but in case of an emergency, that 40% helps). It cases where a phone doesn't go charge/bootloader, it is battery problem. The overnight thingy that you've done, probably rest the battery long enough to boost it to a charge (e.g. how you get a blink when you switch off a torchlight for period of time on a low batt).
Good also among your information, tell us the IPL/SPL/Radio on the ROM you are using.
Hi guys,
This evening something wring happened with my HD2. Suddenly without any visible reasons touch screen stopped working. Actualy screen itself is working but it doesn't react on any touches. I did hard reset - no luck, screen is working but touch surface isn't, so basically my phone is almost dead :-(
Have you seen this behaviour ? Is there any possible way to fix it ? The only thing that comes in my mind which could cause something like this is static electricity shock, but if it kills HD2 screen I want my money back.
I guess now I should use warranty and this is just after 1 month of usage....
Just a stupd question
Don't be offended by my question, I just want to rule out the obvious.
You're not wearing gloves due to the cold outside?
Greetings
chuelibrueder
No, I'm not using gloves with HD2 :-(
I have the same problem. I believe that the connectors under the screen became loose.
I have send an email to htc and they told me to contact the retailer to check if they can replace the device and if not to contact the service center in Cyprus.
There is another thread about this issue here
i`m sure that warranty will solve it.. just contact your retailer.. good luck
Hmmm,
Yet another one having to go back due to hardware problems....
WB
I loose the touch screen today and the hardware button exept Home i think, i had to remove the battery and i waited 30s put it back and everything went in place, the phone had called one contact when i had the bug.
The only thing that happened before screen doesn't work and buttons : i received an MMS strange, i'm not sure i can rely on my phone
I only installed the 1.48 rom and the 3 patches (audio, sms and sd card)

I contacted the service center in Cyprus and they offered to repair it but they don't have spare parts right now. I've also send an email to the retailer and wait for their answer.
Seems i have to wait after Christmas for a repair or exchange.
The good thing is that by pressing the screen with my palm or giving it a few solid taps it works for some time.
bBeware keyboard layout!
I had suffer bye used hadwritting layout sometime it cause screen doesn't responds
try change keyboard layout not hadwritting
Just had the same thing happen with mine, powers up but the screen wont respond anywhere i press. I have tried hard reset AND soft reset, nothing!
Have just restored factory ROM, and deleted hspdl and dropped off at vodaphone in town. Im gutted!!
really seems to be a production problem: i had to send my hd2 back to htc for screen replacement just 4 weeks ago... same fault as yours: the touchscreen wasn't responding to input anymore!
the last weeks i noticed that many people had this problem too...
wow.. keeping a close eye on this.. guess the same problem from the HD is creeping up to the HD2..
Well im hoping vodaphone dont turn around and say its not covered under warranty etc, I had to [like most ppl] sign up for two years to get this phone, i aint gonna be to happy if i have to spend the next 21 months of my contract without the handset i wanted!
Yikes , yesterday my screen didn't respond either (for the first time). Soft reset didn't work. After taking the battery out and leave it out for > minute it still didn't respond. I pressed the screen a little and then it worked again. Not sure if it was because of pressing the screen, but it did look that way. I hope this will be the last time this happens!
tnx!

Well, it's been a few weeks now and I've had this problem several times again and worse, even after a hard reset; and almost each time I could fix it by pressing the screen/hardware buttons, but that shouldn't be the way, because I don't think it's good for the hardware, so I searched the forum and I think I found the two culprits (maybe a combination of the two):
1. The problem occured exactly the same day I began using my 16 GB card, class 2. It once happened that when I had the locked screen problem I took out the card and it immediately unlocked. But every now and then the phone still froze, even when I took out the SD card if the problem occured.
2. Then I have put off the automatic light adjustment settings and guess what; no more freezes!
It looks like a combination of power settings and use of SD card. I'm not very technical, but even when it looked like it was a hardware fault at first, it now seems it's a software fault after all.
Touchscreen doesnt work
Well F4CK my screen will not respond to touch at all anymore seems that this is a problem that is not well addressed tmobile is sending out a new one but the question is when will the touchscreen stop working on that "new" one.NOT happy at all.
Well this has now happened to me....no touch response but hardware buttons working, screen still displays-- off to JB HIFI as soon as I can to replace.
OOOKK I had this problem when i just flashed my phone with a costum rom. As far i remember my phone fall down once or twice but not something bad. I have the silicone cover and screen protector. If it was a hardware problem i believe that it shouldn't work at all even if you had to use the hardbuttons. Which that was how i would have to use to unlock the screen. I will go back to the factory rom and settings to see if there is any difference. My current rom is AthineOS 3.14 and Radio 2.15.50.14.
If for any reason you want to access your cellphone and you don't have time go through troubleshooting. I Suggest you download mymobiler which connects the phone and you can use it through your pc. Make sure you take the sd card before you connect. Here is the website www.mymobiler.com
In my case, my phone was RIP. The touch screen stopped working after installing a custom ROM. I installed the latest official ROM from T-Mobile and my phone and came back to life
Help please. I was running WP7 and the phone started giving me problems when trying to wake it up and slide away the unlock screen. I thought it may be a bug in WP7 so i reformatted the SD card and flashed back to 6.5. During the first boot the screen functions fine, but as soon as it locks, and I attemp to use the slider on the lockscreen, the phone is unresponsive. Tried soft and hard reset..Phone works fine until the first sleep.
I am starting to think its hardware related but i dont understand why it works fine until the first time it locks itself.
I'm having the same problem. And the freeze also started after trying the wp7 Rom. Even when I'm on win 6.5 it still keeps freezing the screen after first lock. I hope it's not a hardware problem.
Hardware problem, just got back home from the post office to ship mine out. Many threads on it. If you are under warranty, revert stock rom and SPL and send it in. Please answer the poll in m sig below so we can have some good data on which ones are breaking.
Hiya!
I've had my Quantum (C900B) for a few weeks now and everything's been great, but I have one strange little problem which I only started noticing at the beginning of the week:
Whenever I slide out or back the keyboard too quickly, the phone turns off and restarts (the screen goes black and the LG logo pops up and the phone restarts, no data lost). A little slower, though, and everything works fine.
I don't know if this is a red herring, but I first noticed the problem this week, after I had hacked Mango onto the phone. Of course, I had had Mango before (which I had to flash to the original ROM in hopes of resolving a SIM issue which ended up having nothing to do with that) and had no problem with the keyboard.
The resolution of the problem isn't urgent (I'll just avoid opening the keyboard full speed ahead), but I would like to know what is causing it and if this has also happened to you.
Cheers and thanks for the help!
-Aylmer, QC
Don't see what speed has to do with it... I would have thought hardware and the mango flash was just incidental...
Flash back to a nodo or oem rom and see if it still happens... Cause if it does it'll be a warranty job...
Actually, it looks like it was just the low battery... I charged it up and it doesn't reset any more, no matter how hard I slide the keyboard out!
Well, now we know, but still don't understand.
Thanks for replying!
WARNING: This might be redundantly long. But at least it's clear. I believe it to be a matter of wp7 and android. So it'd be inappropriate to paste it in either one of those. Enjoy reading!
I've scrolled around the forums for a possible answer, but I couldn't find any threads with exactly my problem. I'll organize the situation:
Problem: HD2 Won't turn on.
(That's about as helpful as saying 'I put gas in my car, put a key in it, and it won't turn on. Help?' right?)
What happened: I was following the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11097380 (Not slandering them, just using it as a reference to help the trouble shooting of what's going on.) And I followed it as it went. I tried flashing the radio leo rom 2.15.50.14. And it completed. But then my phone turned off, and hasn't come back on yet. It makes the "ba-dum" noise when I plug it into my PC though. Although, there is no faint vibration like I've read with other's problems.
Background info: I've stumbled through about 3 or 4 flashings of wp7 roms and such. As I've broken them all. This one managed to survive since July. And I wanted to try an android os, it's been a while since I've touched any android phones. Anyways, I had wp7 and all the appropriate downloadings/flashings onto it. I thought maybe I should start over, and just follow the guide's steps. Although! There's the problem that I can't use .xaps to my phone. I can sync with my zune library, but I can't xap anything to it. Essentially I'm saying it works, but it doesn't.
And finally, the reason why I did this: The screen progressively became unresponsive. It started as what seemed as if I had oil on my fingers, and it fixed itself within a few seconds. As the days went on, it became minutes, then it finally stopped working. I'd go on to take out the battery, then have to restart it. Also, like a past hd2 of mine, it's moved onto restarting itself at random times. Sometimes one boot up after the next, or just randomly. It was perfectly fine. Perfect.
P.S. Sorry for the length, I wanted to be completely clear to prevent questions like, "Need more info. What's exactly wrong?".
Thanks for anyone helping me! I really do appreciate it. I don't want to have to get ANOTHER one.
P.S.S I'm really terrified of it being bricked. Although, it didn't work at the moment anyways. But I was hoping to attempt to fix it. OH, and I called t-mobile about the screen being unresponsive. (Don't worry, they don't know what I've flashed to it ) They told me to hard reset it with vol up/down + red button. I tried that. The screen worked again. For a short while. And every now, and a thousand random reboots, the screen will proceed to work. But it doesn't show a history of texts during the duration it works. And it usually freezes, then boots down. Boots up, and stops working.
sorry to be the bearer but it sounds as though you're yet another victim of the digitizer hardware issue. its one of those things that simply cant be helped and seemingly comes out of nowhere!
you might, however, go back to basics. start by flashing a stock winmo 6.x rom. if that cures your screen troubles you will have a fresh base to start over (and more carefully) ... if it doesnt fix screen troubles and it stays unresponsive you will have it already ready to be shipped off to be replaced ( this way tmo or wherever you're sending it to wont be able to say YOU caused the screen issue)
in any case i wish you luck!
