Hi,
I'm running the LEO Desire ROM, for the pass couple day this issue is driving me nut.
Whem I making a phone call and place the phone to my ear the screen would turn off, but when i take it away to press key the screen stay dark, i tried the home key, back key, call key, end key it will not turn on until later, it just turn the screen back on by itself.
I have reset it to default setting to see if i accidentally set something wrong but still having the same problem.
Boot into MAGLDR and then into CWM and make a Nandroid backup using backup and restore. Then boot back into MAGLDR and do a hard reset with option #7 then boot into CWM again and go to backup and restore and go to advanced restore and restore your data and cache. This might help you out.

I previously updated my phone with the update.zip. It worked for a while and then started giving me grief. I backed up the SD card and then tried the simple root. After a few tries, it appeared to be successful. I formatted my SD card and then replaced the backed up files. I then backed up my phone with Titanium backup.
Here is where the trouble lies: I powered down the phone and held the volume down/camera/power button until it booted into ClockworkMod Recovery. I selected "wipe data/factory reset" and pressed the home key. The screen went black but the led stayed on and the keys on the bottom stayed lit up. It stayed like that for at least 10 minutes. I tried pressing buttons, powering on/off, nothing. Finally I did a battery pull. After the battery pull it allows me to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, but won't let me reboot or anything. Anytime I make a selection, it goes to a black screen.
Now what? I'm freaking out here!
This has got to be a troll right? You don't use the home key to make your selections. The home key MAKES the screen go black, that's what it does.
You should be using the camera button to make your selections.
No troll, I sincerely thought that you used the home screen to select. I'll try the camera button now. Thanks for the info!
my guess is he's on stock recovery... not clockwork
I was trying to do a factory wipe. It is my first time to root a phone and use CMW. The camera button did the trick. Thank you!
If memory serves me correctly you do use the home button to make a selection with stock settings.
OP you may want to just use the Samsung utility to flash back to Stock EB13. After that you can root or do whatever you like.
I also used the update.zip to start with, and even though I didn't have any of the serious bugs that we have seen. I went ahead and flashed it back stock anyways and noticed an improvement.
You should be able to find a link to the samsung tool here, I'm sure its still on a mirror.
If not let me know.

I've flashed back to 1.2.6 as well as hard reset via the default boot menu on the phone (pressing power and volume). My problem is...it unrooted and took me back through the initial setup...but all my files/folders are still on the device...photos, program folders, etc. I'm having to turn it in this week and I need to find a way to clean all this back to its original state.
So my question is this...
Is there a program that can clean this up?
OR...what files/folders are on the phone by default so I can just manually go in and delete off the other files?
Any suggestions?
Settings, storage and sdcard, unmount internal and format
Something like that. I will have to fire up my atrix to find out exactly

The android recovery (hold vol down and power while turning on) should do it. If you keep hitting Vol down after the white text pops up on the main loading screen (M with dual-core under it) you will get a ! with the triangle and an little droid dude. Wait a few seconds then tap the lower right hand corner of the screen to get the UI to show (you might have to try it a few times) then scroll down to the recovery and then press the blue ok button on the bottom left, then do the same thing again when it asks you to confirm it.
I had to do the same thing (turn it in) and that wiped it completely.
Couldn't find a thread with precisely same situation - this morning I left my Iconia with WiFi off on standby with plenty of battery left (70ish %), only to just find it powered off. Now when I try to power it on, it stays in the Android boot animation and doesn't go anywhere from there.
And like I said in the title, it isn't rooted or in any other way hacked, so this is really weird. I think a factory reset would make it work, maybe, but if anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them before resorting to wiping.
Also I have no idea how to do a factory reset without CWM. Long press reset button doesn't seem to work?
Hold Volume Down while turning Power On?
Nope...it tries to run update.zip

A simple method for wiping is described in this thread.
Alternatively you can connect an USB keyboard, boot to recovery (vol-down + power) and press HOME on the keyboard. This will open a menu where you can select factory reset.
It got stuck at "Erasing cache" but I just shut it down and rebooted, now it started. Thanks a lot. Somehow I think I'm going to root it now and put CWM so I won't have to lose all my data because STOCK ROM crashes for some weird reason and I don't have a backup.
in my opinion u should just go ask for replacement....
Hi guys,
My Mrs. Orange SanFran has all of a sudden decided it doesnt want it's screen touched anymore. All the hard buttons are working and can not see any other issues. Seems there are several people who have experienced it but it seems to resolved itselfon a restart but her's isn't, no matter how long I take the battery out or pressing the reset under the battery cover I can't use the screen making it useless.
Any ideas? I stuck a custom Rom of 2.2 on it when first got it but can't remeber which one, maybe modaco Kitchen R12 Rom.
Cheers
Reboot to recovery, Wipe both Dalvik and normal cache, and restart. If that doesn't help, do a factory reset / wipe data, and restart. If that doesn't help re-install the rom.
Thanks for the tip, but I tried to enter recovery by holding down volume key when powering up but a screen breifly loaded that had the small text "android" written upsidedown but then just goes on loop of the screen and the standard screen, can't do anything.
Holding up volume whilst powering on doesn;t do anything and because I can't use the touch screen I can't access any recovery apps through the phone OS.
It's weird cause I've used to recovery mode on phone boot before as first ROM didn't work, so I know the recovery module worked before, no idea why not now. :-s
Could be either bad flash/root or faulty hw. Google "de-bricking a ZTE Blade".
Thanks again. Came across a very thorough article on modaco but unfortunately the phone won't do anything than a normal startup when holding the up volume or up and menu, so can't try any of the suggestions.
The volume buttons do work though as moved the volume in the OS
Just to be sure: you did first press & hold the volume down button, and then press & hold the power button? You have to hold them both down until the recovery menu pops up. I can take even 10 seconds or more.
If everything fails, try TPT flash. It should solve if there is no hardware issue.

Try to reset your phone to factory default using phone buttons and then restore with Zune (or with WP7 Update Cab Sender).
If you can turn off the phone do it. For unresponsive or frozen phone, remove the battery and put it back again after few seconds.
1. Press Volume up button and hold then press Volume Down button and hold and then press the power button (briefly) to switch the phone on.
2. Keep holding the volume up and volume down buttons until you see a reset screen option.
3. Now follow the instructions that will show up on your mobile screen to factory reset your phone.
If it does not help, flash another ROM (official or custom). But you must understand, that all your information on phone will be erased and you would not be able to restore with existing Zune backup!!!

Try to flash another ROM. Maybe yor restore files at phone are damaged (it is my opinion, don't know about restore technique).
I have read about problem with SD card, but there were another symptoms.
