screen problem with CM7 RC5. - GT540 Optimus General

hello everyone, i have been using the CM7 for gt540 rom since 2.3.3, and i just updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.7, but now i have a pretty big problem.
at minutely after i updated, the screen would either not respond at all, or it would be way off (like when i push on the outer left side of the screen it opens the browser, and i cant get to the app menu at all anymore). anyone got an idea how to fix this? obviously i already tried rebooting a few times, that didn´t help.

Have you tried a factory reset?

i flashed it, but in the screen calibration, the upper right one (the 3th one after starting) doesnt work, i cant click it. so any other ideas? it can't be that my screen is broken, cause it worked this morning.

Try this using fastboot
Fastboot erase boot
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot -w
Then use recovery to flash a rom and see what happens.

I had my touchscreen digitizer going crazy once, like one finger stuck at lower corner of the screen all the time. Removed battery and after that it was fine

i´ll try that tomorrow, i´m not at home at the moment, flashing again didn´t work, flashing a recovery version is something i´ll try when i´m at home.

got the phone and the screen working again , hope it stays this way. thanks for the help guys.

I need some help

So my friend gave me his broken mytouch 4g, It's stuck at the boot screen and when I hboot to recovery it gives me the red triangle with exclamation point in the middle of it I am assuming this means I have no recovery installed? I can get to hboot and trying to factory reset it doesn't work either. It's not rooted or have any custom rom installed so I don't know how to fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated,

using the method Phateless gave you doesn't involve moving files to the phone. the zip file goes on the SD card, and then boot phone into hboot

You will move the files to the micro sd card. then boot into hboot, it will read the pd15img.zip and then you can select to flash that img. it will restore the phone to stock settings. you can then proceed to root and install cwm recovery.

Evo wont go to recovery

Ok ever since I got my new 32gb SD card I've been having problems getting some fictions on my phone to work. I was able to swirl through my phone not changing my splashscreen. But now I'm trying to get into recovery to load ciui rom and it wont go into recovery. I've tried to go into it from rom manager as well and no luck. All it does is take me to bootloader and ask if I want to update I say yes or no and then try to go into recovery and it just goes back to bootloader screen. Is there a setting I may have accidentally changed or any ideas on where to start. Thanks for the help

But to others who do see this thread and have a recovery installed and still cant go into recovery try nandroiding your device then do a factory reset and wipe your caches and it should get it working again.
How can they do a nandroid is they can't get to recovery??

The best way to get to recovery when this happens is to flash recovery from Rom Manager. =) problem solved.
ROM Manager actually sucks, tbh, for flashing anything
Ya. ROM manager had some nice tools and functions, but for doing stuff in recovery I wouldn't recommend...

Reflash the recovery or try a different version or custom recovery altogether. It probably didn't flash correctly.

To fix all your recovery problems, try 4ext touch. It's much better. Nah but seriously, I was encouraged to try it and found it to be more dependable. I flash a couple roms a week & it holds up fine...

You flashed the ROM using CWM, correct? What was the name of the ROM?
yes, it is correct I flashed using Clockworkmod by team rogue. I am not really sure what ROM I flashed. but I attached a image of the boot screen. but the ROM I flashed was for TF101(which I think should be compatible with my SL101). or do I need to flash a Asus stock recovery image to solve this issue? BTW is this a boot loop? thanks for the reply.
Edit: I found out the ROM that I flashed.
md5sum: dd80806298385a7a8057b21b384d389f. This is the stable ROM for TF101

If you're getting a bootloop, then something either something went wrong with the installation or with the ROM. I don't think it's kernel related since you're getting to the ROM's boot animation. I would try to relash to ROM or try a different one that clearly states it's compatible with the Slider, because I still don't know which one you flashed.
then how do I flash another ROM when the slider is still in the boot animation? also what ROM is recommended for the slider? I have searched most forums and most of them are for the transformer.

I think even on that rom you should be able to boot in recovery mode. Perhaps you need to wipe data / cache and reboot again.

A ROM that is guaranteed to work on the Slider is Android Revolution, created by mike1986. If I were you, I would just start over completely and flash that ROM.

This here doesn't sound right. You don't connect your Slider to a computer to flash ROMs. You flash the ROM (zip file) from recovery on your Slider.
Also, Android Revolution doesn't require flashing any compatibility pack. Since it is already based on Asus stock ROM, it already has the necessary files.

Don't worry about the compatibility pack for the Android Revolution ROM.
To flash this ROM, you MUST first flash the SUPER WIPE file that is listed in the Android Revolution thread.

In theory, either should be fine.

lol, yeah I suppose it did.
I think I inferred that this was at the inception of the flash, and not something that just started happening.
He did factory reset and it is still doing it, which tells me it must just be the ROM.

Flash the same rom again from recovery without wiping anything.
Edit: I was too late.
I wouldn't want to flash a rom because in the past I nearly ended up bricking my phone. I got Android on this phone through someone else. Isn't there another way around this, something more simple

Nope.
Since the problem originated without apparent reason, we don't know what caused it; we can't really tell you how to fix it without a re-flash.
And by the way, you can never brick your phone through CWM. So just re-flash the ROM. Besides, that "someone" had already done the hard part. He installed everything for you, now you just need to put the zip on your sdcard, boot into recovery and "install zip from sdcard".
So can i install any rom or just the same one and is there any thread on this.

You can flash any ROM and you will not brick your phone. You literally cannot brick an HD2 with anything android related, ONLY with radio stuff and WM6.5, so just read up on how to flash one and flash another ROM.

if something has been installed into the system partition, then it will still be there after a hard reset. Example, if you install a data2ext script, then do a hard reset, it will still be there when the phone restarts.

Yeah, that's why I told him to dirty flash the same ROM, but he has no clue which ROM he flashed, so at this point I think he should just find a ROM he thinks he'll like and clean flash it.
As long as he's messing with Android he can't do any actual harm.

What I meant is, you can install your previous ROM without having to do anything to your device aside of putting the previous ROM on the sd and flashing.
However, that DOES NOT mean you can install any other ROM without modifying the partitions.
And yes, there's a thread for this, it's called search.
P.S: Pay attention to the italicized keywords.
Do this as the easiest thing,
go to settings > about phone, and scroll all the way till you see the kernel version and build version.
Take a screenshot of that and upload it if you can.
This will tell us what ROM you have and you can dirty flash it.
