hello!
here is a strange problem...
Something is wrong with the touch screen of my mobile. It doesn't detect a certain area of the screen, but the rest of it works like a charm.
i have installed "touch test", an application that shows where you touch the screen and it shows that there is a "dead" part at my touch screen.
here are some samples.
there i tried to make a straight line from the top left to the bottom right and as you can see, it "skips" the problematic area.
here, i tried to "paint" this area, the dots in the lines represent a reading point, as you can see, there is no dots in this area.
is there any solution for my problem?
is it a software or hardware problem?
thank you in advance for your help!
You mean that your touchscreen isnt responsive?
if yes then its a hardware problem which is caused by water. i had the dane problem but huawei repaired for free. but it took over5 weeks

is there a way to full backup my mobile in case that i get a new ideos?
Just a CWM / nand backup and copy that from SD card onto PC will be fine, should be able to just throw it back on there once you get your phone back and restore

The phone is not rooted. This is what happened that got me t this point. I was trying to download angry birds and the phone just cut its self off (maybe because to had to many apps running) then i just decided to take out the battery and let it sit, so i did and i cut it back on then it worked i let it sit and update everything like android does when you cut it on then the phone cut it self off again on im stuck at the splash screen. :'(

Try doing a factory reset on the phone. Get into the bootloader by holding the volume down button and then holding down the power button simultaneously. Use the volume up/down button to highlight factory reset, then to select press the power button
I did it and 3 android dudes with skate boards are on the screen for like 3 hours no exactution
Which version of the stock rom are you using. Is it 2.2.1 or 2.3.4 ?
If you can't get the factory reset, I will give the stock rom . Do update using hboot.

were you running 2.2.1 or 2.3.4 when it happened?
or
can you tell us the hBoot version you have
it will be loacated at the top of that screen with listed some like .xx.yyyy
If this happen post the update i would exchange it under warranty as you might have a bad eMMC chip and something failed in the writing process.
I'm running HBOOT-0.86.0000, When it happened i was running stock because it hasnt been updated sence i had the phone. My factory reset wont proceed with the prgress bars t-moblie i should have.

eMMC is a chip that stores information, a chip that you can write to.
Well lets hope that's not the case. How cam I get a copies of the stock Rom and try to install it?

Given you are on the .85 or .86 hBoot.
Download THIS FILE . leave it zipped up, and store it on the root of your SDcard.
power down the phone, pull the battery if needed. Then power on the phone holding down the power button and the volume down rocker. Once it boot select "bootloader". It will scan the SdCard for the file then prompt you to update the file.
But when I start up the phone and enter the prompte screen it scans the SD card automatically is that suppose to happen?

yes. if SDcard is in the device bootloader will automatically scan for the PD151IMG.zip file.
I don't know what happened, but after installing the 2.1 fastboot EU the screen started to show things not properly, the menu at start duplicated and such things, when I start an App (like camera) starts to show pixel lines. What happened? I need help, I bought this cellphone today.
How to repair this?
PS: Can't post image... sh*t
Ah OK now you got fastboot?? If you do just flash another ROM.

I used one rom for 2.3.7, trying to install that was the moment when I realized the screen problem, but I'm sure that the problem started after installing the fastboot. this error appears in all the roms I use.
If you can manage to put the screenshot on a other device and check if it does not look messed up then its a screen fault.

hi there i have my my touch 4g running jellybean 4.1.1 and some reason today when i went to go in the boot menu and change my splash screen it like restarted itself. Every time i try to click recovery in the boot menu it shows the pd15 files and then shows you need to update it. So basically i guess it went back to its original skin ,but still has everything. I see the s is off. Is there a way to be able to go back or do i have do the whole entire rooting process over again? I really appreciate all your help.
You need to remove the PDxx.img file from your SDcard otherwise evertime you go to the bootloader it will boot the stock ROM.

Thanks for responding. Umm I'm kinda of confused are you talking about the PD15img.zip? Also, would it be hidden in a folder or just out in the beginning?

Pd15img.zip should be located in the root of your SD card.

If you flashed a ROM of some sort using the PD15IMG.ZIP method (such as a stock Froyo or GB ROM), it exists in the root of your SD card (so, under /sdcard). You should see it by hooking up the phone and browsing to the top level of the card, or you could take the SD card out and examine it directly. If you don't rename if after an install, every time you try to boot the bootloader will look for it and try to reinstall it.
Whether you need to reroot again kind of depends on what the PD15IMG was. If you went back down to a stock ROM, then you would probably have to at least go through the rooting steps again (but not the S-off part).

I've only had that happen a couple of times when a ROM did not load successfully. Usually it's recoverable, but it sounds like in this case you *might* (I would ask somebody with more experience) need to reflash the CWM recovery via adb in order to get it working once again.

Yeah. The PD15IMG.zip put the stock recovery back on. Just flash the custom recovery of your choice.

Rule 1 : Read everything, then read it all again then understand what your reading then flash
As for the "bricked" phone, people need to learn what a brick is however this guide is almost guaranteed to fix the issue for you, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

The Phone will not come on period. Only when I plug it in to the usb on the computer does screen light come on but that's it. Nothing else. You just know it's on because there is a change in the back light from really dark to just somewhat dark.

I installed Rom Toolbox pro just paid for it too. Made a back up using twrp deleted my old back up tried one final time to install the new cyanongenmod nightly that didn't work so I rebooted the back I had just made and my died. I should also mention that I had just gotten my IMEI unlocked if that makes a difference.

Help, I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 for various reasons,but now when I try to upgrade again I just get the pink screen ,if I try using the option from settings/storage,it says key data couldn't be backed up , the installation will stop. Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up completely so I can't even continue to use it in 2.2 can anyone advise ?

Try to put the 2.3 dload folder to a sd card, then remove the battery, plug in a USB cable to the computer and the phone, volume up+down+power (if I remember right lol). See if it will update that way.
no, that's the usual way I've been flashing it, I can get to the image folder ,but it won't boot into recovery either

Odd. Maybe try to flash the ICS pink screen unlocker? I had weird issues at some point too, then I flashed that and the problems went away. Afterwards flash ICS.
Just tried that,still no luck,it doesn't even get to the unpacking screen,it just stays pink. beginning to think its beyond repair

I think it's still possible to fix it. I was loosing hopes too, but I messed around with it anyway and got it working. Just try different dload's, different methods and maybe you'll get it running. Maybe other users will have some ideas too.

Hi there!
I think when you upgrade from software menu there is an option for data back-up.
Uncheck this option and the error should go away.
Also what do you mean with this: "Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up" ?
What do you mean it locks up? Touchscreen is not responsive for example?
My suggestions:
1) Do a factory reset and then check if you can upgrade
2) Try re-installing your recovery(use cwm 5.0.27 by geno for best compatibility) or even replace the whole image folder with the froyo one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146856
Your phone is not beyond repair that's for sure. Since it boots fine.

I haven't noticed an option for data backup,will check again later on. And yes when it locks up touch screen becomes unresponsive and none of the buttons respond either. Also when I try to enter recovery ,both custom and stock, it displays the kernel logo then vibrates with a black screen for a second then back to kernel logo and continues to boot.

Ok guys,I copied over the stock image folder and now it works ok, however I still can't upgrade from froyo. At least I can use it again though so thanks for your help, its much appreciated. Incidentally, there wasn't an option to back up data when upgrading, but that error has now gone, except it now just reboots instead, so I will just keep trying.
