My drivers are all official, I've updated a friends phone perfectly. Thanks for the help though, if anyone else can think of something though it would be appreciated.

Feelsbadman. I guess this is a good time to buy a new phone. I was starting to like my X10 too. :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanchigo:
:Dlol, cuz U don't look carefully when U do. Firstly, turn off ur phone, take battery out. open Companion, Start ( support zone)-> start (software update) when a new windown comes out ( Could not find phone on top) and You can see Small blue words "repair phone" . choose Icon X10 phone, then follow instruction to repair it.:) goodluck
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxhound494:
SEUS and PC Companion are seperate.

Anyway, as I said earlier this is the problem I get with repairing on PC Companion.

try flashing using the old flash tool which uses sin files than ftf files
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AfroLoots:
Wow I seen that exact same screen three times before it went through, can not remember what I did that got it to work though. One thing that it might be is I noticed the auto-install of SE drivers when I plugged my phone in at some point. I think that did the trick. Also to ensure your drivers did not go buggy try flashing with seus(SE equivalent to PC Companion) to see if the same thing happens. It just so happens that it might fix what ever is going wrong.

I did not read the whole thread, so if I repeated something forgive me.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxhound494:
So far all suggestions have failed.

I've pretty much lost all hope.

Bump,

Attempted to update with Nordic Flasher, Disconnects from flash mode when you connect and "click any button to continue".

Tried flashing via SEUS and PC Companion on another PC, exact same problems

Hats off to whoever can fix this because I've tried everything (read thread).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secretsexyninja:
This is as little long, but I wanted to be as thorough as possible. I have loaded custom ROMs successfully in the past and I beileve I followed all the directions in the FAQs. Nevertheless, I could have missed something.. so here you go.

I installed the cyanogen7 RC2 release today. I installed it on a freshly wiped phone. I updated the incredible to the latest official update from verizon, rooted it with Unrevoked3 and then did a nandroid backup.

I rebooted, opened recovery and wiped the cache and then the phone. I installed the rom update-cm-7.0.0-RC2-Inc-signed via SD card. It said it was successful. After I restarted, the phone worked.

Next, I went into the rom manager and downloaded gapps. it asked me to reboot I said yet but declined to backup prior (as I already had the fresh verizon backup). It said it installed successfully.

Upon rebooting I hit the cyanogen load screen which cycles ~4 times.. After that the "welcome to adr6300" screen pops up where it tells you to click the droid in the middle of the screen. The screen is almost unresponsive. If I can get it to click, i advance to the next screen where it becomes completely unresponsive. Regardless of where I get on the setup page, after ~3 seconds it takes me back to the cyanogen load screen and this continues in an endless loop.

I tried clearing the cache and wiping the drive in recovery and reinstalling the rom but I still get that screen (which leads me to believe its an issue with gapps??). So I went ahead and cleared the cache, dalvik cache, wipe, and then restored my original official vwz rom.

I downloaded gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed from the CM6 stick this time and put in on my sd card (root). I got the phone back into recovery mode, and cleared both cache's (realized I missed this the first time) as well as wiped the phone. The CM7RC2 rom installed successfully and once again I was able to get into the rom.

I restarted after that success, booted into recovery, and flashed the gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip file. It said it was successful and I rebooted. However... the phone still will not get past the CM7RC2 screen...

Do you know what I'm missing? I've tried to be as thorough as possible. When I first boot up the CM7RC2 rom, do I need to do something else prior to installing GAPPS? Do i need to install GAPPS immediately after CM7RC2 prior to booting the phone up at all?

edit: With the fresh vwz rom install, I did install a few apps (about 10) prior to backup as well as remove about 15 bloatware apps so I wouldn't have to re download or delete them if I flash back to the regular rom (re installed beautiful widgets, astro, titanium backup, etc. Removed vm, vzwnav, etc). I didn't open or input preferences in any of them.. but could this be causing the conflict? Should I hard reset the phone, get the OTAs all over again, root etc w zero apps?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secretsexyninja:
Just realized I had the wrong version of gapps and not to get the ones from the sticky under the Dinc rom section.

I got the latest (and correct one) here:

at goo-inside.me/google-apps/

Not sure how I missed this before but I now have the correct one and its working.

Thanks anyway!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
I completely agree with you. I've had the "dead digitizer" since December. It was pretty apparent it was a hardware key problem, as I could generally solve the issue by pressing the "Off" button to turn the screen off, and then one of the other keys (usually the back button, but occasionally one of the others) to wake the screen up, and the digitizer would be alive again.

As I am still under warranty, I sent mine off last week, and expect to hear back within a few days. But if I had the confidence to open it myself, I was sure it would be fixed with a good clean.

Anyway, thanks for crystallizing all this into a post. Thanked!

Thanks for the heads up
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jimprime:
U maybe be right about why this issue happens but if u rely on other key then will also wear out soon ...

What I did is I remapped my volume up n down keys to power and back button which I believe are the most used in android and then found a app to manage my volume in android that way I don't lose my sound on rhw phone

Also I went ahead and got a another app which places virtual buttons on ur screen so u can use then instead of the actual hardware buttons

For button remapping

get the BUTTONREMAPPER for android and for on screen android buttons get BUTTON SAVIOR

hope this helps :)

Good to know... will now wake my phone up with the green key as its hardly used in Android. Button Savior is a great app, been using it a while now. Took a bit to retrain myself to not use the back key.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] khanvict85:
i'm going to agree with your hypothesis or at least suspect that dirt is probably a bigger factor than most people think in these cases. i just bought a non-responsive phone today and while i stuck my nail (yes, i should probably clip them) around the edge, in between the screen and housing, i was surprised to see just how much dirt was in between that crack. same with the area around the buttons; there's a lot of grime there.

since i just got the phone i haven't even opened it up but the first thing i'm planning to do is give it a good interior clean around the buttons for sure as that seems to be the sensitive spot. touch screen devices are very delicate and the micro particles of dirt which build up over time probably create a hazard that people really don't really anticipate. compound that with having to mash on those buttons all the time probably crams the debris in there even tighter.

i'll attempt to clean and check the contact as you suggested and will report back if it helped in my case.

I don't use them at all, only for wake up the phone (it can be wake up with any key)

There is an app in market called "button saviour" it's just excellent app to keep your hardware keys for a long time

You just hit d nail on d head pal...My HD2's touchscreen also stopped responding and nothing i did (software-wise) worked...i flashed several WinMo ROMs and Android builds with no luck, till i read somewhere online dat some guy seemed 2 solve his touchscreen issues by installing "CleanRam", ran a level 3 clean up (use MyMobiler for this) and by pressing real hard on the red end key button..I did just dat and voila it works!!

I have a Tmobile HD2 which is no longer covered under warranty and i'm not willing 2 part with almost $200 here 2 have d whole lcd & digitizer replaced...I recollected dat in d forum i read the suggestion from, a lot of ppl came n posed their views on why it's not possible but i tell u it is cuz it worked for me..Nw i'm comfortably dual-booting WinMo & Android via sd. i use "button savior" and "extended control" to navigate and power down/reboot respectively.

Hweva i believe its not a permanent fix as it simply refuses 2 allow me run android full-time thru MAGLDR, & i think i know y..pressing down on d end button 2 launch MAGLDR/CWR options after install messes up d connection with d digitizer underneath and d touch screen thereby causing it 2 fail again when android boots up....I just might try opening it up myself n cleaning dat area up as u suggest but dat'll be when my current fix fails cuz as d saying goes "If it aint broken? then don't fix it" :)

Just installed Button Remapper, and not to sound like an idiot, but can someone tell me which one I would have to remap to make the volume up key or down key to put the phone to sleep and wake it up, and would that still be able to use the volume key to turn up and down the volume as well?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voncrane:
Hmm...i don't use d app but from wat i can gather on d dev's thread, you would have 2 remap ur volume keys to "Power"...Also checkout dis review 2 learn hw 2 mk d remapped button work even in sleep-mode.

I can agree but mine's been in twice on repairs with the same error but screen was replaced both times amongst the digitizer, backcover (Can't understand why) and 3 other things were replaced. Buttons weren't replaced.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
If I'm to base how the HD2 is setup internally, they wouldnt replace the buttons, they would replace the contact or contact board under the buttons, remember the buttons are like a keyboard, they dont wear out, its what they push on that gets dirty or worn.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pauloviegas:
I was traveling and this happen t me and became desperate.

Following the instructions I come to the clear conclusion that our HD2 has this hardware problem.

If I do not use the end call button no issues with the screen, really, no issues.

Hope my feedback will be helpfull as well. Great job done here!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voncrane:
Yeah HTC screwed up on dat...its just as said,1 has 2 be careful n avoid using d red end key button as much as possible 2 enable d device last much longer...And if u do ave 2 use it, press on d left-most part of d key (closer 2 d back arrow button) to get d job done.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] big3d:
I just had this issue happen to me and thought it was my build... But I found another way, I use Cyanogen Mod 7, and in the drag down menu (from the top) I added a sleep option, because thats the only thing I use it for... and I never have a reason to press the end button now.

This is the best thing I have found to fix it without having to remap the buttons
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] on1ydabest:
I guess I'm lucky because I have never had a problem with the responsiveness of the touchscreen and/or end button. I got my HD2 a month before TMO release date and trust me it has been thru alot (scratches all over, even a piece of glass missing next to the call button). So my question is how much pressure and wear 'n' tear are you all putting on your end button or phone for that matter?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Can that be done with other roms? And wouldnt a shortcut or a widget on the main screen also work?

It all depends really Understand that not all HD2's go thru the same testing process when it comes out of the manufacturer. Also take into consideration that it also depends on how often you flash a rom, if your flashing a rom every day or every week expect that you will shorten the life of the end button, also it doesnt always mean that the button is bad, it could clearly be dirt underneath that could also be causing the issue. And I said the same thing when I saw posts about people saying that android killed their screen. I even responded to it but always maintained it was hardware, even though I didn have the problem, and I bought both my HD2's used in Dec. and the day it happened and I found out why I posted this, if I was to guess, I would say that I probably flashed both my HD2's close to 200 times with different roms, or upgrades, or testing fixes out.

So if your not a flash nut, then your probably safe. There are many factors that can play a role in the end button life cycle, And no two people use their HD2's the exact same way.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kcab87:
the non-responsive touchscreen problem happened to me this morning. I woke up trying to unlock my phone only to find that it would not respond to any touch gestures. I was however able to uninstall HSPL and Flash the stock WM6.5 rom since I was going to T-Mobile to get a replacement. When I took it to T-Mobile the employee resetted the phone by holding the 2 volume buttons and the power button then somehow the touchscreen started to respond to touch again. I was completely puzzled as I thought it was for sure a hardware problem. But now I'm going to flash Android and hopefully the problem will not arise again, if it does, back to T-Mobile I'll go!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
What Android really needs is some sort of "X" button, or even a widget on the main screen that you can just tap and put it to sleep. The three most keys used in my opinion is the windows key (Apps that use it for a menu), the back key (Since there is no damn close button), and the end key (sleep, flashing, booting to magdlr).

Some one had a concept here of buttons that looked very similar to The desire HD, the greatest thing would be if someone could make the bottom of the htc sense (app drawer, phone, and the personalize) auto hide and have the desire HD buttons come up with a power button at the end and this way if you hit menu it would bring up the original 3 button screen.

In my case it looks like it's kernel related, started with cleandroid nand, no sod, then to typhoon 2.4, no sod, somewhere in the 2.5 range the sod's started and disappeared after the change to hyper kernel....

Not saying that hardware isn't a factor, but in the typhoon thread, a lot of people where having sod's until a kernel change... Maybe a combination?

How to Disassemble the HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] robins3929:
Response to [QUOTE="AngelDeath, post: 12105680, member: 1766578"]

I had the power button/unlocking screen problem. Had to keep holding power button down repeatedly, trying to tip it slightly left, then right hoping that I would then be able to unlock screen with slider whilst still holding down power button. I would then still have to keep the power button pressed to use the touch screen. After a few actions I would usually be able to use the screen without holding down power button again. I too came to the conclusion that it must be the power button causing the problem.

Anyhow I noticed a post saying about the use of button mapping to make for example the volume down button the power switch and thought I would give it a try. Indeed it appeared to work, but I didn't have much luck in making the power button turn down the volume. It still had the original function of turning the screen on and off. So I reverted back to the original settings to try again and amazingly haven't had the problem since. Admittedly it's only beeen about 20 minutes, but that in its self is a bloody miracle. I have just checked again and it still unlocks perfectly with use of power button.

I don't know why this is, but I'm delighted.

So to recap, I assigned the volume down to be the power button, and the power button to turn the volume down.

The screen unlocked every time perfectly although the poweer button still had it's original function.

I then reverted back to original key settings and my phone now works perfectly - apart from the weird eratic screen responses when not even being touche ie typing unpressed letters on keybopard and opening unselected apps, but hay ho.

If anyone has the solution to that I would love to know.

Okay any chance you can tell me how you remapped the power button to the volume down? I tried to do that with button remapper, and couldnt do it. cause thats the only thing I'm missing at the moment.

For anyone who wishes to not have to use the end key, here are two programs to eliminate its use:

That explains why I'm an equal opportunity button presser. I use all my keys more/less the same amount of time. I rarely use the end key to wake up the phone (that's what the other 4 buttons are for) and my screen off is set for 30second.

This is a good post, it makes sense that if you develop a problem that effects across roms then either its a kernel update or hardware.

Question I have is... Are you guys gentle with your phones and are you guys working in dirty environments ?

IV had my hd2 for almost a hear now and my buttons are still like new :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Has nothing to do with the enviroment, think of it like the old style mouse with the trackball, no matter how clean you dkestop is, it still attracted lint, dust, etc and the rollers would be caked with debris, this is the same thing. Also excessive use: Flashing, Using the button to end calls, powering off, Powering on, all these contribute. I now use the Screen lock and off widget suggested, but I also am using quick boot, which does help, now if we could only get colluta to change the holding down of the end key to get into mag we'd be set.

FYI for anyone, when in CWR you dont need to use the end key to go back to a previous screen, you can just use the back key, it functions the same way as the end key, just another way to save the end key from being beaten.

Also in Magdlr, you can hold the volume down or up key to scroll thru the menu, you dont have to keep hitting the volume key to scroll. (Does not apply to CWR though).

if this is clearly the problem, the cure is to clean it. then this should clear up what im sure many fall victim too. then sticky it on the forum.

I certainly would try but i dont have the proper tools.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Baga12:
I took my phone to a repair where it was disassemled at my presence. It's such a pain-in-ass procedure belevie me, so many small parts should be separated from the phone in order to get to the buttons. So, after about 1,5-2 hours, we got to the buttons, they were clean. After, it took same time to asemble all small parts. The screen's position wasn't fixed, its moving up and down a bit. Perhaps badly assembled :( Phone still sometimes get irresponsive as usual. So I wouldn't recommend to disassemple the phone just to check if the buttons clean. The solution, I think, is to change the digitizer with the screen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eugenile:
wow that is very discouraging.

the good news is FINALLY i see the digitizer/screens are affordable. before they use to be $100+

but yes disassembly and assembly is very tedious.

now that you cleared that up.. can someone confirm to have this problem and replaced the digitizer and confirmed finally fixed it. all the findings in this posts puts closure on the problem and the fix.
