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.

Hi ..
I had updated defy to the latest cnmod nighty version. ( 110410 ). Eveerything was working fine. i played with the phone for the entire day. video acceleration was awesome and played gt racing.
Suddenly there was problem with wifi connection. I decided to restart the phone. Choose the reboot menu . and now the phone is stuck with the moto logo on startup. Nothing happens after that.
When the bluelight blinks after the android menu , when I press the down button , I get android bootmenu v1.0.5 (By cynongen defy team and galaxy) ,
i was not able to do anything from here. It has these menus :
1)Boot : boot is set to 2nd init
2)cpu settings
3)recovery : in the recovery menu , If i choose latest recovery or stable recovery , I get error in /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh (Result: no such file or directory) , and when I choose stock recovery , the phone restarts and is stuck with an exclamation mark )
4)tools: I could understand what to do here.
When nothing did work , I pressed both up and down button after changing boot to normal. there i cleared some cache or something , cleared everything that I could.
After all this my phone is in the same place. A moto logo on startup.
Please can someone help me . This is my first android phone and also the first costly phone I bought and I did something nasty on the first day itself.
i am a normal end user who knows nothing more than gui.
thanks in anticipation
hey
flash a stock 2.2.2 with RDS from bootloader
you gonna need latest defy drivers for windows plus a stable froyo i guess
google this "how to unblick a bricked defy"
let us know what you do and what changes
are you sure this is a case of bricked defy. I had read in many places it is very difficult to brick defy.
its not bricked
but that is what you need to search for to get the solution
i did so too
What "Natsikap" said.
Clear Data/Cache.
Flash Official Froyo 2.2.2 using RSDLite, Use your region correct Froyo (If you are from India use SEA15 Stock ROM -Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy). Everything will be Stock normal. Read everything in the wiki before you flash anything, esp read the "How to get back to Normal in case things go awry" part you will save yourself the High BP!
thanks all for your support.
i have installed the orginal manufactuer android froyo
and flashed it later with cynogenmod 7.1 for defy. The latest stable one that was released yesterday
One more question:
Should I unroot this cynogenmod .. so that I don't mess something.
congratulations
you sorta came from behind and am sorta left behind
question: does the 7.1 have any wifi issues? working properly?
tell me so i can make the jump too
thanks bro
sorry for the late reply..
no it does not have any issues.. at least i could'nt find any.
wifi was working like a charm. used it for around 2 hours ..
Couple of questions..
1) i don't lke the menus flying into the screen. How can i change this animation to the normal fade animation that came with original os.
2)should i unroot my cynogenmod should that i don't cripple it while playing with settings or someother way.
Do not unroot CM7. Make site you make a backup in recovery, that way if you mess something up you can just restore it. As for animations, go to settings> cyanogen settings> display, you should be able to change the animations. If not try spare parts app.
Swyped from my MIUI Defy
i have defy plus.....i havnt rooted it ...its working on original 2.3.6
my phone is starting but power button not working.....when i put it on charing lock screen comes to life but touch not working..
sometimes it remains on moto logo
please help
Hi guys,
after finally getting a new screen for my D802 (whole other story) I installed it and it worked great. Next step was to update to a newer ROM and Android etc. so I wanted to try out Lineage 14.1.
I got AutoRec to install TWRP, which went fine until it rebooted. The display started showing nothing but white stripes.
Because of anti-spam reasons I can't link to external websites and I can't find any way to upload pictures so I'm cheating with the link and hope that is okay, if not please delete the link and tell me how else I can show you pictures.
PICTURES HERE imgur.com/a/VcLR3
The first two are during the "LG" boot animation, the latter two are when it has loaded up the OS (I assume).
Did I somehow destroy my new display? I've looked around and found similar problems for some obscure ROMs and such, but it was never the whole display but rather just a few lines to the side, nor was it with such a simple, everyday task like AutoRec that seems to be working for a million people.
Is there anything I might be missing?
Assuming the display actually IS broken and I replaced it again, would the current configuration kill the new one as well? Since I don't have even 1% of screen to play with I don't see myself changing anything back to stock or so.
Thank you so much for any help.
Edit: I just found this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680948, do you reckon this is my problem? There are no pictures, sadly. And if yes, how on earth can I do anything with no screen?
Just reflash stock kdz

Thank you, I flashed some stock stuff and the display is working again. I would never have thought it was a software issue. Thanks!
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?
blue screen

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.

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.
Regards.

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.
