[FIXED] black screen on hboot/recovery and camera issue (FIXED) - Nexus One General

During an update, (PASSIMG.zip) in hboot I selected yes (to install) then about a second later, my screen
turned black and now, the only thing I can do is to boot in the installed stock rom (FRG33).
My english is not perfect, i'm sorry for that.
1. I Removed my battery after a while. (about 10 minutes)
2. Inserted the battery back in his place
3. Power down + vol down and I'm stock, I can navigate in
the menu but I can't see anything...
Anyone know how I can get my screen back ? OLED vs SLCD ?
Note: I can boot in my rom, the rom is unrooted, my phone is unlocked.
(And yes, I tried to flash recovery and another rom without success. And I can't
find a way to flash hboot again (bad signature)
I'm using the last version of hboot and radio.
If anyone have an idea of how I can fix this, this will be really appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm starting to think than my /dev/mtd/mtd0 is screwed up.
Anyone know where I can get/or generate a image of a normal mtd0 ?
At the moment I'm running debian sid dand SuperOneClick seem to freeze
after trying to chmod rageagainstthecage or psneu..
Note: Yes my screen work when the boot is completed. (but not in hboot/recovery)
bad spl ?

Ok, sorry for the noise, I was able to perform an update via 766a101ae02c.signed-passion-ota-60505.766a101a.zip (renamed to update.zip) and I powered off my phone.
Removed the battery to be sure there is no power at all.
and using some screenshot found on the web.
I was able to perform the update (blindly, this word exist ?) and the phone rebooted
and asked me if I want to update again (google update) I selected yes, the phone rebooted
and, VOILA, I can see again the crappy X logo with an open lock at the bottom.
Thanks again (ok for nothing, but if than can help some people...)
Yes, shame on my english again.

My guess is that you have an SLCD Nexus One, and the passimg installed the .33 HBOOT which doesn't work for them.

I had the same problem when flashing the MIUI-AU rom, screen went black,removed battery and replaced but the phone was dead,I was already thinking which phone to buy then when I connected the N1 to my laptop miraculously the X logo appeared and the rom launched ok

At the moment my phone is working again but I'm still having a camera issue.
About a 1 1/2 month ago I experienced this problem, no flash, no camera, just
a black screen when I try to run anything than use the camera.
Then a day, I was walking on the street and I checked to see if the flashlight was
working and obscured magic occured, the flash was working again but not the camera,
I wiped my phone again, repartitionned my SD card and installed a new rom and the
camera was back to normal.
Now, about a month later, (the problem started yesterday) i'm having the same issue.
I'm persuaded than this problem is related to a firmware problem, something related to
my /dev/mtd/mtd0 (hboot, perpaps ?) I don't know exactly where the camera firmware
is writed in the phone memory (nand)
I wiped and flashed again and again a lot of rom last night and today and the problem
still exist.
No camera/flash at all.
I'm thinking about returning the phone for warranty issue but like I said before, the
phone is unlocked... perpaps I will try to black the screen again and send the phone for
warranty... this way they cannot see (without fastboot) if the phone is locked or not.
If anyone have an idea of what I can do... a rom to recommend ?
Today I tryed to revert hboot without success...
EDIT: At the moment I'm running a rooted rom based on FRG83G.
fblodroid...

Related to my camera/flash problem:
Hum, I think I found the problem, this is hardware related, something seem to be
badly connected in the phone, I tryed too apply some force on the right border of the
phone with the flashlight ON (I previously looked on the web to see where the "contacts/plugs"
are located on the pcb (teardown pictures) and after applying some pressure, the light came ON
and now I can open and stop the "flashlight" mode.
teardown on the way ? I'm thinking about it... but i'll try to flash another rom again to see
if my camera is back.. (like in the past)
EDIT: No camera for the moment and the flashlight app light on the LED only if I select
the option "High Brightnes", ON/OFF are working with this option selected.

FIXED
After a complete teardown of my phone, and a lots of cigarettes..
I found two cables not correctly connected to her pin.
I made a picture, hum, an ugly picture of which cables.
http://img121.imageshack.us/i/icedqlubgg4zzbv2huge.jpg/ (in the red circles, the two pink dots)
And yep, now my camera/flash are working perfectly.
NOTE: the phone is not easily to dismantle, this is at your risk and peril. (time: about ~25 min)
Thanks again and please, ignore my english. I'm thinking about starting a thread
related to this problem. Should I ?

Hi, I have a HTC Desire GSM PVT4 (HTC__203), with the exact same issue as what is described in the original post. When I boot in hboot or recovery the screen is completely black. When I boot in the normal rom the screen works fine. I reflashed a number of RUU's successfully, but the problem remains.
The misc partition is not part of the RUU images, and I did re-flash the misc partition in an attempt to downgrade. Any idea where I can get an image for the misc partition for my device, or where I can generate one?
Thanks,
Hans

Hey. I have the same issue you had with the camera, black screen and forced to close when running it. My flashlight works perfectly thoug.
I tried wiping and reflashing diferent ROMs, stock and Cyanogen with no luck. I also followed your lead and disassembled the phone to check all the connectors but the problem persists.
Any idea for me to try? Thanks for your posts anyway.

Did you managed to fix it ? Be sure to check all the plugs, at best unplug everythings
and disassemble the phone entirely.
Mine is still working perfectly after two years.

XDA Mini S Screen problem

I've got a problem with my XDA Mini S. It's been sitting in a box in my shed for about a year, before I got it out yesterday to have a play around with it, and possibly try some software I found on it.
I put my sim card in, plugged it in to charge, and turned it on. It worked absolutely fine.
I haven't done anything with it yet, but I've turned it on now, and the colours are messed up on the screen. For example there is a red hue over the today screen, and on certain screens (like in bootloader mode) the colours appear to be inverted (I will post pictures later if needed).
I've tried reformatting the device, but this has not fixed the problem. I thought I would try reflashing the rom on it. I used to have the original o2 rom on my old laptop, but lost that when I had to reload windows.
I downloaded the original rom from here, along with the Rom Update Utility, and attempted to reflash it. It gets as far as 'verifying the information on your PDA phone', then crashes with the error: Rom update utility MFC application has stopped working.
I'm running windows vista on my laptop, and read that the RUU won't work until the drivers are updated. Following the instructions on mrvanx.org, I have downloaded the driver for vista and installed it, but i'm still getting the problem when I try and reflash the device.
I've also tried running the RUU in compatibility mode for XP as it worked fine on my old laptop which was running xp, but it still crashes, every time.
I'm beginning to wonder if reflashing it will even work though, since the colours are messed up in bootloader mode as well, which leads me to think it may be a hardware problem.
I know next to nothing about repairing these though, and probably wouldn't bother if it's a hardware problem, but until I can reflash the firmware, I won't know whether this is a case.
I'll get the photo's of what the screen is like uploaded to my server later on, and post the links here, so you can see what the problem is.
Show photos and specific error when reflashing arrangement.
sorry my english

[Q] Two issues

Hello everyone!
I encountered two problems with my HD2 having installed Gingerbread 2.3.7 Nexus-HD. The first one; sometimes, I don't know sure why, and what causes this, but when I lock the phone and I try to unlock it( immediately, I didn't try to wait for longer) it doesn't unlock, but the display turns from dark(as locked) to a little bit grey, as if it would work, but I cannot see what I am doing.
The second one, sometimes, I think after I run a game, or something that requires more power and I press the HOME button, when I try to enter the Menu, it flashes continously.( as if it would change rapidly from Menu, to Home screen)
Where these problems might come from and what can I do in order to fix them ?
Really sounds like a hardware issue, try pressing the buttons hard and releasing a few times.
Did any liquid get on the phone ?

Had alot of this issue on slow dying sdcard. My experience is your card have some problems. Try to check your card windows pc, start CMD and type- chkdsk (drive letter of sd card): /x /f or try to format your card with sdformatter pc freeware.
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
You can try flashing the rom again. Before doing it, remeber to format your sd card. Try other roms too. If the problem persists in evry rom, then try a different sd card. after this the only problem will be your hardware.
Give a thanks if you found this Helpful
I don't think it is a hardware problem, beacause it worked all fine a few days ago, and the phone didn't took any damage in this time. I have this HD2 from a friend and when he gave it to me, I wanted to reinstall the ROM,bacause I wanted not to appear anymore his google account. I am a beginner in HTC and I installed this ROM following a tutorial, but I am not sure I did eveything all right. I wonder how I could erase everything and install a good,stable ROM from scratch, but I need an exact tutorial for this.
Meanwhile, those problem solved by themselves, but now I get the same freezing screen when I try to call or someone calls me. I can hear them, but it just freezes and I cannot do anything, unless I remove the battery. It doesn't happen all the time, but very often...
LE: Right now I'm trying another ROM, I installed a version of CWM of 150 mb( as requested by this ROM) and wiped everything and now it is installing hyperdroid CM7 v5.5.2.
I have to say that with the previous ROM I tried to remove the SD and the same error, so I thought that changing it may be a solution.

[Q] HD2 bad model id in bootloader (only pixels)

Hello i have a problem.
Today I flash into HD2 android rom. (for a friend who can not do it) But when you install the ROM everything froze, showed a color screen and I had to remove the battery. I figured that it was caused by a defective SD card (although my nand but Dalvik cache I set there.) I tried everything again. but nothing works wipe, flash etc when I switch to bootloader upper data was corrupted (not before), there are only some characters. I attach a photo. how to fix it? flash another rom does not work, hspl also can not be reinstalled. I tried everything and nothing works.
thanks for the advice. and excuse my English

half blue half black screen after flashing a rom

hi everyone.
i am having this wierd issue for a month or so, when i try to update RR rom.
after i flash the rom, i get the screen attached. screen seems for like 2 seconds, and goes this half black / half blue screen. screen is still responsive, i can receive calls and if i double tap anywhere, screen locks. there is no problem with screen on twrp or anything ( because sometimes after flashing the rom i dont get this screen, so i don't do anything else, except use it normally.) but today it happened without a reason, the phone was in my pocket when i took it out and saw the screen in this state.
i always flash by following the steps given. i know it is not hardware related. where is the problem? what do i need to do?
p.s. : when charging, blue part goes yellow.
thank you all, waiting for a solution

First go to recovery and check that display problem present or not if not then flash any other custom rom or reflash rr
if you are unable to go to recovery then flash stock rom via odin it will fix every software related issue
and if flashing stock rom doesn't work then it may be hardware issue
You confirmed the model # in download mode? Tried using different version of TWRP?
I am facing same problem recently, did you find any solution ?
still no solution. this problem is not hardware related since i can use it perfectly now. i tried to flash (via twrp) RR-N-v5.8.5 exactly as described in op. rom boots, i can see the home screen for a brief moment but screen goes immediately black and blue. i can receive calls, lock and wake screen, that's all. then i have to restore everything. i am currently on hexagon rom v2.5 and no issues but i like RR.
again, this problem is not hw related. i follow all the steps again and again checking everything..
any ideas?

clean install worked for a day or so, until i turned off ambient dislpay and restart. then it went blue&black again.
i tried a few kernels, some bootloaders and modems (including nordic) but problem persists.
i will try to get a logcat :/
In case anyone has the same problem: reboot to safe mode, go to settings, flip cover and turn off S-View flip cover.

Custom ROMs result in black screen

Hi all,
I'm new to the device so I'm maybe doing something wrong but I don't think so. I got the device with a terribly cracked, I flashed Pixel Experience (Android 10) as it's what I've had on my Nexus 5x, everything was working fine so I proceeded to replace the screen. I replaced it with one from Aliexpress which seems legit.
The phone then wouldn't boot, or seemed not to boot. I saw the splash screen then a black screen. The system did boot as I could see the capacative keys light up and sounds working, I just couldn't see any image on the screen. After a while trying to flash other ROMs and other TWRP versions (at this point TWRP showed up as a black screen too) I found that the following solution solved my problem.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/solved-mi-a1-bootloop-t3973131
This is fine, I can use the stock ROM and update it to the latest version but cannot use any AOSP based ROMS and still cannot use any other recovery apart from the one used to solve the "bootloop".
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this? I thought the screen was maybe a weird version that needed some additional drivers but the strange thing is that it works for the stock ROM.
Regards,
Simon

I'm in the same situation. I think these screens are not 100% compatible so it seems a hardware issue.
Maybe using vendor partition but i'm so stucked as you.
My phone can't hotboot any official recovery although i can boot flashed recovery only if i boot slot a not slot b.
Stock roms boot always using slot a but tried Lineage (thats uses slot b) and got always black screen.
I'll keep reading and trying to solve it.

Thanks for your interest but I've made no progress and actually given up on it. I'm sure the issue could be resolved by buying a new, more compatible screen but I'm not going to put any more money into the phone.
As far as the software solution goes, I've tried almost every combination of ROM + Kernel i can think of but the only thing that works is the stock ROM.
I'm going to close this thread as I don't think it's much use to anyone.
Regards
Sorry for posting here, but i am in the same and i noticed that flashing canting 4.9 kernel gives display for like 8 seconds after screen turns off. May it be a kernel config issue? if anyone in this forum could answer this i could try and change it. Also flashing stock kernel on custom rom solves the problem but makes other thing fail
Hello, I've got the same issue. Is there any solution ? Or, at least, any clue to work on it ?
EDIT: I finally done it!
with this kernel (OC) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...rkernel-v3-1-nonoc-and-oc-12-11-2020.4186317/
And this rom : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-11-0-official-crdroid-7-1-tissot-13-11-2020.4195351/
I installed this kernel, cause you was saying it is probably a kernel issue, so I tried to look for most recent kernel.
And then, it worked, so I think you was right.
I can't be sure it will work with all ROM, but I think.
Hello Mi A1 friends.
So yesterday I decided to change my crack LCD screen and to my surprise the phone boots into Xiaomi Logo and then after that its just a black screen. Message and other notifcation sounds still come in which means that the phone mange to boot into home screen, just with nothing to display. At the time of changing screen, I am on stock kernel and Pixel Experience 10.
Gonna flash back to stock pie(9) rom and see how it goes from there.

Sry for reply to an old post, but how did you do it? How did you flash kernel when you can't enter twrp because of screen issues? I have exact the same problem, where stock rom works but everything else cause blank screen. Also can't boot to twrp - probably the same reason.
