I had this problem with black screen though I could still feel vibrations when clicking soft keys etc, so I knew phone was on.

What I did:

Removed battery overnight

Inserted battery and turned on device

Device worked normally again.

If this doesn't work then you definately have a faulty motherboard.

This also means you would be unable to flash custom rom on device. This could void your warranty. However I have heard of people getting phones fixed under warranty with same problem due to HTC not being able to check wther or not you had changed rom beforehand
[Touch HD General] Pugsley_21:
Hmmm, well currently my phone is back where i bought it, they wanted all packaging so they haven't sent it off yet. I'll get it back tomorrow and try removing the battery overnight, as mine sounds just like yours in that it still turns on but with no screen

According to the HTC site the stock ROM should install as long as activesync can see the phone. So there might be hope in flashing a stock ROM back on before warranty
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
If your phone turns on and still connects to pc, then yes its possible. Try it and see what happens. You should still be presented with standard flash pop up screen on pc as well as % flashed etc which will change to flashing finished so you know you have completed flash process.
[Touch HD General] Pugsley_21:
I've found out that MyMobiler will automatically install itself onto the phone when it is plugged into the PC, so there's still hope to see the screen after a reflash. Just need to get my phone back
[Touch HD General] Pugsley_21:
Went to the shop and managed to flash the stock ROM back onto the phone, after downloading it from the HTC website. Now it's going back (hopefully) to HTC, or possibly Telstra. I'm hoping they send me a new one, as they wanted all of the accessories that came with it, box etc
[Touch HD General] stpete111:
Yep, same problem here. And mine is also a Telstra T8285. Maybe the bad batch is mostly in those?

Anyway, I have managed to re-load the stock rom with no screen. It's quite easy actually. Just make sure ActiveSync sees the phone, and you're good to go. No need to have to see the screen of the phone.

I'm in the US and was routed to HTC's support here in the US. Of course when I told them the model I have, they said they don't have the parts to repair it here in the US, so I'd have to send it overseas. He said they will contact me from HTC over there within 2 WEEKS. What? So I sit here and wait... blah.
[Touch HD General] forumx:
btw, mine is also a Telstra T8285 so it definitely seems to be a problematic batch for Australia. Mine took three weeks to return and they replaced the mainboard. So far so good.
[Touch HD General] stutjones:
Hi,

I have exactly the same issue. The screen is black, but the phone does operate. I can connect it to my PC and even "see" the screen using EveryWAN remote.

The problem is, I have the Energy 6.5 ROM and Hard SPL 1.56 installed, and I cannot flash it back to the stock ROM and SPL, so that I can send it back under warranty.

I have tried 2 ways:

1. Putting it into Bootloader by pressing Vol down and ON - but it is impossible to tell if it actually goes into it because the screen is black, and when I try and run the ROM update utility, it cannot connect (error 260).

It seems like I cannot actually get it into the bootloader. I have tried lots of times...

2. Running the installer from when the phone is on and connected to the PC by activesync. In this method, the update utility gets as far as starting the progress bar, but then the phone seems to disconnect from the PC and again I get connection error 260.

This is really frustrating, any ideas would be greatly appreciated...
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
What I'd try is running USPL before running RUU

Quote from wiki
[Touch HD General] stutjones:
Thanks for the help Fallen Sparten.

Unfortunately it does not work.

The USPL also cannot find a connection. I think it is because I cannot actually put the phone into the bootloader - It is impossible to tell because the screen is blank. What I can say, is that when I press both the volume down and power key, nothing seems to happen. There is no connection sound from my computer and the RUU does not detect the phone.

I also get the same error if I try and update the phone from an activesync connection. i.e. when the phone is operating normally - I can tell it is operating normally because I can view the files with activesync.

Please any more ideas?
[Touch HD General] scythe000:
This happened to me as well. Was there some kind of software update that HTC pushed out that affected a few phones?

I see about 10-15 people on here that got hit with the same thing at the same time.
[Touch HD General] laidbackfreak:
well I've had this issue as well, I have flashed back to stock rom (blind as activesync could see it tho I couldnt so no idea whats gone on)

When I called customer service they barely batted an eye and ahve arranged a replacement to be shippped to me tomorrow. :D

Be interesting to see what they say (if anything when they get mind back)

Be sure to thank all of the great Chefs for there hard work and visit the Forums often for new releases… If you come across a link to a new Fuzeberry ROM not listed, send me the link so I can share it with everyone. If you are new to flashing ROM’s, be sure to check out the NOOB question repository.

If you are thinking about trying a WM6.5 based ROM but don’t want to give up your TF3D, Then try the Mystic ROM as it has the best of both worlds. jug6ernaut has put this one together and is currently working on his v1.0 so keep an eye out for that.

If you want a ROM that’s like driving a Ferrari and loaded with TF3D2, then the EnergyROM is for you. Thank NRGZ28 for this one.

If you would like to add the Fuzeberry to your existing device without flashing a new ROM, just go to FuzeBerry.com , download the CAB file and enjoy. (Be sure to download the right version as one is the standard and one is for the new TF3D2)

(was HTC greloc? help)

Hello!

I am working towards a flashable rom for a number of devices to allow use of the internal memory for android (kaiser, polaris, nike, vogue, etc)

What tool is used to partition the flash device? How do you turn on or off the extended rom partition, and could this method be used to set aside 80-120MB of space as a separate partition on the flash, for use by android?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sp3dev:
You see, a typical wm5/wm6 rom is a disk image, with MBR and other traditional stuff. Usually, the bootloader calculates the size of storage area based on the size of the OS image. Not sure you can add an extra partition after rom and storage, but you could create a new partition in the OS part (a typical rom has 2 or 3 partitions, uldr, kernel and imgfs, respectively, so there is one empty 'slot' in the mbr) and let android use it or put android partition to ExtROM.

and yeah, g'reloc is a tool for patching wince binaries to change their virtual addresses, nothing to do with partitioning
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vilord:
great!

So can I just use, for example, fdisk on the .nbh file? or is it on the .nb? I'd be happy to use the extrom for the android partition, just need to set it to 100MB instead of 10...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vilord:
Or do I need to create a dummy ExtROM.nb file that is the right size with a signature of 900?

I went to unlock my phone a few minutes ago, and it wouldn't unlock. I have 6.5 on it and I went to slide the button to unlock it and it wouldn't move. I reset the phone, took the battery out and turned it back on, nothing. I then did a hard reset and now I am stuck at the 'Tap the screen to set up your Windows phone' except when I tap the screen, nothing happens. Is my touch screen dead?

[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
Great guide.

This works great off the liveCD but when I install Ubuntu, Gparted doesn't install with it. How come?
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
I don't know why, does it give you the partiton editor under administrator or does it not show up at all.
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:
It doesn't show up at all.
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
What version of ubuntu are you using?
[G1 Android Development] :
I made a guide just like this a few hours ago but decided not to post it as someone had probably already made one :P Oh well, yours is a little more detailed.

Just remember, there's no need for a wasted CD. You can make a live usb with unetbootin ;)

Btw, I'm really curious why everyone is making massive ext partitions! I would have thought 2/300mb would be enough for most people. I don't know nay apps bigger than 6mb, and most are < 1mb...
[G1 Android Development] Pinesal:

[G1 Android Development] c_low29:

[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
It did that to me one time when I burned it to a dvd instead of a cd. Does the desktop load up or how far does it get into loading.
[G1 Android Development] pshadey:
nice thread: this would have been really useful yesterday.. i spent hours trying to figure it... and finally got it then found this....never the less thank you
[G1 Android Development] Strapt:
ok here is a question I have Ubuntu on a VMWare virtual computer and also a Ubuntu 9 x64 (newest version as of yesterday) Live CD.

Now when I plug my phone or sdcard with reader it WILL show both the Fat32 AND the ext2 partions while running it on the virtual machine thru VMWare.

BUT

When I use that Live CD it will NOT mount/show the Ext2 partiton only the Fat32. Even though it doesnt show the ext2 mounted I can STILL edit it thru the gparted program. Which is nice to be able to modify the partitions BUT I cant access any files on the ext2 partition :(

sooo why is it that I cannot access my ext2 partition from the live CD regardless of if its thru the phone USB or through the card reader, but can from the virtual machine?
[G1 Android Development] kylelipp:
@pinesal et al

In 8.10 Appilications > Add/Remove > Search: gparted > install Gnome Partition Editor

Ubuntu for some reason doesnt install GParted when istalling the os(maybe they think you won't need it after the initial partitioning to install ubuntu)

Good Luck.

Another Good choice for Live CD or USB is Crunchbang, it's fast, really small OS and it has live stats for your pc integrated into the desktop. :P
[G1 Android Development] c_low29:
i made sure to install it to a cd not dvd and it does this to me.
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
How far does it load and what do you see? What are the specs on your computer? I seen some people had your problem due to there graphics card. When you run the lived cd you can hit f4 and try to run it in a lower resolution. What kind of graphics card you have?

Sometimes its not easy..Ubuntu didn't want to format my sd

My ubuntu did not see the sd card right away. I downloaded a program from the cloud called gnome format. It was specifically for sd card formatting. This program had trouble at first too. It kept telling me weird things like "permission denied" and other not so nice declarations. So here is what I had to do. " sudo killall hald" then "sudo gnome-format" then follow the nice UI...but wait now I am getting some other wierd message. I am in the root group if that matters to this. (still kinda new to linux/ubuntu) Now I "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" then it took me to the sign in screen of ubuntu. From this point i logged in like normal and presto chango! My format worked flawlessly and with very little effort. I don't know why but this is how it worked for me. Hope this helps anyone in need. By the way this took over 3 hours to figure out but I thought my card was fried! Much to my suprise and delight this worked and now I'm back in bussiness! good luck!!!

EDIT: Oh yeah and Excellent tutorial...I am dually impressed!
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
I've been reading that ubuntu and nvidia don't get along to well with 9.04, but that could be bs. Here is a fix you can try.

1. Open a terminal window

2. Go to the X11 directory (cd /etc/X11)

3. Make a backup of the current xorg.conf (e.g., sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup)

4. Run nvidia-xconfig with root permission (sudo nvidia-xconfig). If you get a parsing error, delete xorg.conf so nvidia-xconfig can create a fresh one.

5. Open xorg.conf with your favorite editor (e.g. sudo vim xorg.conf)

6. You’ll see a lot of extra settings now

7. Look for Section “Monitor”. Mine defaulted to the following settings:

Identifier “Monitor0″

VendorName “Unknown”

ModelName “Unknown”

HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0

VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0

Option “DPMS”

8. Change the HorizSync and VertRefresh values to the correct ones for your particular monitor. For my 2407WFPHC, I put the following:

HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0

VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0

9. Save the xorg.conf file

10. Log out and restart the X server (at the login screen, select Menu, then Restart X server)

11. Log in and run the NVIDIA X Server Settings tool. You should now have a whole bunch of resolutions from which to choose. I selected 1920×1200

I followed the tutorial last night and ran into a snag after partitoning my sdcard. After dismomounting from ubantu I unplugged my phone and relogged into windows. When I mounted in windows, windows would not recognize the disk and asked for a reformat. I could not copy anything to the sdcard. When I ran adb, it gave me an error when trying to access the sdcard. So I had to repartition it in windows, start ubuntu back up and repartiton again and copy and rename the rom file and reinstall the rom before the phone would stop giving me blank disk/disk damaged errors. Just fyi in case anyone else runs ointo this problem

[G1 Android Development] xsivelybad:
oops

I realized something today that kind of negates my previous post. If you mount the sd card through your phone for partitioning it comes up as a hard disk automatically. If you mount it with a card adapter you will have quite a few issues trying to partition unless you follow my previous post. P.s. That only worked for me so if you feel I am in error, please correct me.

[G1 Android Development] pep1t0:
SDCard Filesystem notification problem

The notification stating you have to format your sd card is due to the order of the partitions... i found in gparted couple of weeks ago that if you make the partitions in the order you want it will write them in a different order... what you need to do is set FAT32 partition... click apply... then set ext 2 or 3 and click apply again and finally make the swap partition...

this way neither your phone or windows will tell you to format the sdcard cause of the filesystem cause it will read the fat32 partition and think its the only one... in linux you can mount FAT32 and ext partition... in windows you will only be able to see FAT32...
[G1 Android Development] jmacojc:
doesnt work for me. i did it that way and my magic still wants to format my sd-card, any help? does it help to put something on the card when i am in ubuntu, so it doesnt say it was a empty card?

[G1 Android Development] Gilliland12:
I seem to be having a similar problem as some others.

I have a brand new class 6 4 gig SD card and am trying to set it up to have a fat32, a ext3 and a linux swap.

I go into Ubuntu with no problems, and successfully partition the card into those three sections.

I remount it onto my G1 and the phone says blank card or wrong format. It then prompts me to format it.

I've tried creating one partition at a time and hitting apply. I've tried creating all three at once.

I dunno. Can't figure it out. Also I can't find the sd card when I use the card reader on the computer. Rather I can find it, but under the partition program it doesn't see it. So....???

Any one had any success in getting past this?
