Is the pin screen differant than the usual one ie white number keys? If it is that's the sim lock screen you need to call the carrier to get the code or find out the default. Or just get a new sim lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] asim0:
nah it's the 4 digit pin code, i didn't lose it btw, it's still working and i can use the phone, but i have a black backlit screen whenever i want to wake the phone, and thus when i receive a phone call, i don't know who it is and i blindly press/swipe the screen to answer, because if i want to use the same trick of locking /unlocking, it doesnt work as the lock button is also used to reject a call...
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Maybe rip and reinstall the phone app?
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperDave81:
I have the same exact problem as this EXCEPT, it's intermittent. Sometimes when I wake the phone I get an all black but backlight screen, and other times it's fine. I'm on CM7.1.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
But a superwipe and reflash will probably fix it. Also don't restore system data on TB
[G2 and Desire Z General] asim0:
I know i still can use wipe data + cache + dalvik through rom manager, and i always used to superwipe before switching roms, but how can i do that now when the recovery is all blacked out?

can anyone guide me to a script or something i could do while the phone is active, to tell him to reboot to recovery and flash that superwipe?

anyway i'll try the regular wipe and keep the thread updated

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

On my side if i leave the phone locked more than 30 seconds, it happens 100% of the time; also I noticed that now the backlight blinks 2 or 3 times (1 second blinking) when locked, first a few minutes after locking, and then randomly, about 3 or 4 times per hour; I guess it's getting worse;

I've read on another thread that it could be video cable getting loose, but since mine is still under guarantee, i won't open it right now just to check, if i can't fix by wiping / superwiping (when i know how to), i'll use that guarantee, which is one month left (lucky me)

EDIT: one other thing that makes me think it's no hardware, when the black screen appears because of a phone call or a message, the ringtone and notification sound are both half as loud as they should be, this is all really strange
[G2 and Desire Z General] asim0:
after backing up my data, i reflashed the rom via Rom Manager, and I wiped data and cache (which equals to factory reset) this time: the first screen that should show the pin code numpad was already a black (backlit) screen!!

Also, thinking about it, i realised that the "flash rom from sdcard" menu in Rom Manager is in fact "Flash ZIP from sdcard": the zip doesn't have to be a ROM!!

So I tried flashing a new kernel this way, also some framework modifications (extended settings, removed TP wake, etc...) they all install Ok, but still this black screen...

Also I was about to flash SuperWipeG2.zip this way, but if it doesn't fix my problem, I will be stuck with a blacked out recovery, as SuperWipe wipes everything including /system; so if anyone has an idea to tell Rom Manager to flash two zips (Superwipe then Rom) i'll be willing to try, or a script to do that;

Maybe i'll have a look of the scripts in Superwipe and in the rom, and put both zips together... don't know if it's possible?

Maybe I'll try the Superwipe alone if I can get a spare phone, just in case...

Other thing:I used the phone's gps for more than 5 hours with the screen lit, and it never flickered even once; so it's hard to believe it's a screen connection issue...
[G2 and Desire Z General] asim0:
Just to keep this updated, everything i did, including superwipe didn't change this issue, so i sent it back to the technical support (under guarantee) and I got it back today; the report that came with it says the screen has been replaced; so it was hardware finally...
[G2 and Desire Z General] akubicek:
Hi, i have same problem.. Black screen in recovery and during the boot. When the system boots, screen is OK. Sometimes i have also blackscreen when I want to use HW keyboard. I tried 4ext, reflash older versions of CW but still the same. I can see a screen through Android Screen Monitor and I can cotrol it. But phone is blak, only backlight. Can somebody say, how to solve this issue?

So, for other, if you cant see screen, you can use Android Screen Monitor for Windows and connect phone through USB and see a screen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
WAIT one minute... they don't care? where was I when this meeting took place?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Saintfyre:
I had this issue as well on a spare G2 I had.

The screen was just black but you could tell it was lit, hardware keys were lit as well.

The phone was actually my brothers and it rooted w/ CM7.

I ended up selling the phone as is on Ebay but after some research it was a failure in the hardware for the screen and I found extensive instructions on how to replace it that I didn't wish to do.

I never attempted to get it replaced and kind of wish I did now if they don't care about the device being rooted.

I purchased my G2 before he had his, and it's never had the issue so not sure what to think of it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] modzsi:

Hi all, I'm stuck and unable to mount any sd cards with the desire..

basically I've gone back to stock Telus RUU (just ran the RUU with fastboot) and I am s-on.

I was able to usb mount via clockwork for sd access prior to flashing the stock RUU, but the phone refused to find any sd card.

I've done fastboot oem rebootRUU, and gone into the HTC bootloader

I've done fastboot oem enableqxdm 0, but it does nothing

I've tried fastboot oem eraseconfig, but I get bootloader ERR

Anyone have any ideas of how to get the desire to recognize my sd cards again??

*UPDATE*

I have s-offed the desire

I loaded RMD Recovery via ADB and tried the usb brick fix

neither have allowed me to mount an sd card... I have 3 that I've tried 2 8GB and 1 4GB all formatted to FAT32

*UPDATE 2*

I was able to execute fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot oem enableqxdm 0, fastboot oem eraseconfig, fastboot oem reset

none of this has allowed the desire to find any sd card.

*UPDATE 3*

From RMD Recovery, the startup diag shows that theres no SD card present... but it also shows ext part 1: FAT32.. etc

So from what I can tell, the sd card is recognized, just not correctly, and it can't be mounted.

Any help is appreciated.

*UPDATE FINAL*

used diskpart to properly partition sd card as FAT32, went into RMD Recovery, partitioned ext 4 and rebuilt partition table (this was what I needed to do from the start I think)

flashed clockwork recovery

flashed insertcoin

ready to rock and roll.

Hi, everyone I just joined this forum. I have X10i with firmware 2.1. While searching the thread i came acrosss terms like root, xrecovery, flashing, MT, generic etc. Can someone help me out what these terms mean. I wanted to upgrade my phone to gingerbread. Previously I am an iphone user So i am total noob to this OS and the phone

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 424aca:
good get away from iphone

root--same thing as jailbreak

xrecovery-- a badass tool that lets you flash roms onto your phone.

flashing-- umm... it is like installing a modified version of even the legit version on the device

generic-- A product having no brand name or registered trademark

example= for device there is branded or non branded

branded means that a company like ATT or Rogers approves that firmware or OS version. So when you turn your phone on, you will usually see something related to them. like an animation of the att world

generic--- clean install. no company restrictions. just regular

ok links for all that crap above

2.3.3 firmware (does not matter if you download x10a or x10i)

1. Download Flashtool from

http://doomlord.sylvester20007.com/x10/x10_gb/FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec.exe

2. Download the generic 2.3 ROM of your choice

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11038646&postcount=1

Personally I would get the Global version unless you can find your country specific one.

Global version download - http://www.multiupload.com/JEXUAHAZTL

3.

a) connect your phone to your PC, make sure it installs the drivers (if your Sony software is working it is fine)

b) Extract Flashtool into a directory you know

c) Extract the firmware file you downloaded. And move the ftf file into the "firmware" directory of Flashtool

d) Make sure your phone is not connected to the PC and is off.

e) Run Flashtool, click on Flash and select the firmware you have just downloaded.

f) It will give you the same instruction - holding the "back" key, (phone still off) connect it to the PC. If you did this correctly, the light will be green and it will start flashing your phone.

g) After it is completed, reboot your phone once or twice and check that it is working.

4. Installing xrecovery and rooting refer to instructions (you already have all the files from when you download in step 1)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadsnobest:
When you reboot is there anything showing on the screen? Sony logo...anything? If yes, wait it can take a long time for a new rom to install. If no, I think you need to revert back to the 2.1 rom, root and install busybox, superuser, and xrecovery. once thats done you can backup your rom and data so you don't get stuck updating or if you have trouble with a custom rom etc. Also I think your battery stats should be wiped using xrecovery, it sounds like SEUS checked this and the file said your battery was too low to continue the update. Here is a good place to start.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasukewa:
Try taking the battery out and then try flashing again. Which ftf file are you flashing or selecting in the flash program. You need to use at least a 0.2.9 version of the flashtool.... if you use 0.2.5 start with the 2.1.54 ROM first.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chikara71:
Hi all

My main phone is my new HTC Sensation, and I have all my regular apps installed on there (via the Android market, using my Google account).

My old phone - Rooted HTC Hero - I keep as a spare, and use only when I am travelling overseas, to put a local SIM Card into.

My question is, can I install apps on the spare phone on an ad-hoc basis, without using my regular Google account?

Ideally, downloading .apk files for Android market apps?

As it's only a spare, and mainly used for voice not data, i don't really want all the same apps as on my main phone, just some of them -things like Go SMS, JuiceDefender, etc

Also currently, the plan I have with the local SIM card I'm currently using has no data - only voice. So apart from connecting it via my laptop, I could only install apps using free wifi.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
No. You need to use a Google Account to download any app from the android market. You don't need to use your regular one, but you still need to use one to download the apps. So, it would make more sense to just use your regular account to do it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtronics:
You could just download the apps apk transfer them to your memory card then install via a app like astro file manager that way u would have the apps backed up on the card
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chikara71:
Thanks... if I use my same Google account on the spare phone though, will it recognise all the apps I have downloaded to my main phone, and try to download them all again??

What about if I remove any, will it try to remove them from the main phone also?

For example - on my main phone I have maps and IM apps, but I don't want or need those on my spare phone...

Or in other words - are the apps downloaded and removed, device specific? Or syched the same between devices on the one Google account?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chikara71:
Thanks, but how is it possible to download the .apk files? I can't do it via the Android market...the only other way I can see, is just via searching the web for the specific files?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshaybz:
If i'm not wrong, you can download titanium backup...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nibras_reeza:
Am not sure about what will happen to already downloaded apps but your other device will add as a new device and the apps you install from now forward will be separate. If installing from Web, you will be prompted to choose a device. In mobile, the app will be downloaded to the phone you use to download. The market can distinguish between two different devices unless they are of the same model.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
He's saying that you download and install the apps normally to your main device, the use an app to back them up to your sd card, then you can send them to your secondary device (either via bluetooth, or send them to your pc and transfer them to your other device).

man this is a very strange situation. definitely flash a new recovery. I think your recovery is not flashing things right. maybe putting things in the wrong place. put you backups on your CPU and completely delete your clockwork folder and flash new recovery. cuz if things work stock there is just something strange we are over looking
