[HTC Rezound] SopieMunky:
HTC Rezound Partial BSOD

Hey all, I've been searching for a solution for this on and off for the last couple of weeks and finally broke down and decided to just post about it.

With my HTC Rezound, I'm currently on ICS via Scottsroms.com. Specifically, this ROM: scottsroms.com / downloads.php? do=file&id=121 (no spaces, I just can't post the link because this is one of my first posts)

With the status of my phone, I'd followed instructions exactly as written with no problems (worked on the first try). More info on the phone...

- Rooted (obviously)

- Still S-ON

- Used Official HTC Bootloader Unlock Tool as well and am currently registered with my phone to HTC directly (not sure if that makes a difference).

- Have a full backup via Titanium Backup Pro

- No physical or water damage to phone

Hope that info helps give you an idea of where I've started. I'll come back to edit in any more info that needs to be added.

I've searched Google and XDA for a while now and can't find someone with my exact issue. I believe my phone is being affected by BSOD (Black Screen of Death), but it seems to be conditional.

I charge my phone every night. One day I woke up to find that when I turn my screen on, I get a random amount of seconds (sometimes it's 2 seconds, sometimes it's a minute or so), before the screen shuts off. The odd thing about it is that the capacitive buttons lights still work. I thought maybe the phone was still functional, just not showing the screen. I tested this theory and, sure enough, the phone works just fine, under the assumption that you don't need to see what you're tapping on the screen.

As far as it being conditional, I've troubleshot this a bit now and have discovered on my own that when I pull the battery and put it back in, the phone works just fine...so long as I don't turn the screen off at any time. So for the last couple of weeks I've just put up with turning my brightness all the way down to conserve battery life and just have the screen on all day--unless I'm at work and it's just in my pocket turned off.

I came to XDA and saw some BSOD threads saying they found a similar temporary fix with the battery pull, but everyone ends up suggesting to just flash it back to stock ROM. Main issue I have is that there are dozens of "stock ROM" zips out there and I can't seem to find one that fits my needs, then I run into the problem of not knowing how I'm going to install it if I can't get into the bootloader--only get so many seconds before screen shuts off on me again.

While I've owned about 3 Android phones so far (each rooted), I generally only have to do that process once or twice and rarely go into the bootloader for anything but backups, so I end up forgetting any little details that might help me find an easier way to perform this. I've tried the "Factory Reset" in the "Menu > Settings > Storage > Factory Reset" area of the phone, but that doesn't fix the problem, nor does it truly put it back to stock ROM.

I've had the phone for a few months now and it was working just fine up to this point. I haven't really done anything significant to the phone that would cause a problem like this. Any ideas/suggestions about how I can go about fixing this? I've got everything backed up, so if the solution is to wipe everything and start from scratch, that's cool with me.

Thanks in advance!
