I've got the Similar Blank white screen problem....now the call answer buttons are not working....screen stays white and after a few calls will come back..
I'm going to try to upgrade to latest radio and wm6 build... I tried the cingular latest build, still same problem...maybe the radio will help.
Good luck and please post your trails/results.
Thanks
p.s. anyone else with this problem please enlighten us!
I am having the same problem I have HTC 8525 with AT&T. I updated to Schaps Rom 3.6a. The "answer and End call" buttons do not work now. I am getting frustrated. HTC would not cover this under waranty. I am going to downgrade the ROM to the factory and use radio 1.47. I will post any results.
well, i bought a vario 2 off ebay and didnt know anything about flashing the roms of these. basically i thought all was well until when i was going through a period of heavy use it started glitching, then after a while the whole screen just started fading into whiteness.
the seller never said anything about any faults, i'd installed a few spb apps and thought it was my doing so that caused this.
i did manage to flash the rom using the pof ones on here, but the problem is still there and now it even struggles to turn on. when it does i get the htc and wm6 welcome screen before it starts dying and it fades to the white screen as usual.
does that sound like anything anyone else has had?
Ive got a vario 3 now so its been left for several weeks. Still wouldnt mind getting it sorted though if anyone has any ideas.
My touch screen will not work at all, everything else on the phone works just fine. I tried a hard reset and now I am stuck at the alignment screen. Any suggestions.. Anyone run across this error?
Thanks
reflash bro
put the stock rom back on
and then put the modded rom on
and it should be fine
Typically means something is interfering with the recognizer.
If you are using a protective case (shell) or screen protector, try removing them temporarily to see if they may be causing your problem.
I didn't have anything over the screen.. Any idea why it would do something like that?? I'm going to reflash to stock and back to modded ROM tonight and I'll let you guys know in the morning.. Thanks for your help.
Could be a "bad" flash.
If it still happens with the stock ROM flash, you may have a defective unit on your hands.
Hardware problem?
I had the exact same problem about a week ago. I tried reflashing the device, hard reset, etc. In the end, I couldn't even get past the screen calibration wizard. My conclusion was that I had some kind of harware problem -- the touch screen would respond intermittently for brief periods of time and then go unresponsive again.
My fix: I took the phone to my ATT service center who, much to my gleeful surprise, gave me a new one (warranty exchange) without any hassle. I expected to have to fight with them, but the transaction was trivial and stress-free.
I'm now deciding which WM 6.5 ROM I like the best. Many thanks to all the hard-working contributors and chefs on XDA for providing such awesome content and support!
Good Luck with your phone
i also had this problem recently. phone was working fine in the night, went to bed and woke up and was unresponsive. Tried everything. I ended up flashing back to all the stock stuff and sent it in for repairs. I got the screen and dpad replaced under warranty. I have no idea what caused it, but it happened. Definately not a software issue if you have reflashed...
my advise, flash back to stock spl and your carrier rom and send it back.
I had a similar problem and opened a thread as well. My problem in chronological order
1. Bought a TMobile MDA IV over ebay.
2. Flashed several different ROMs of WM6.1 and was just enjoying myself.
3. Installed a 6.5 ROM the calibration screen required me to go through 3 full circles.
4. Worked fine for a day, then the device was locked and watever I tried I just couldnt get to open it up
5. Did softreset, it didnt help either. I Would end up at lock screen
6. Finally got back to HTC stock ROM 6.1, and I couldnt get past the calibration screen for a month.
7. My conclusion as well, that its a hardware problem, unfortunatel where I live I dont have Tmobile and the screen from touch pro is slightly different in size to the tmobile variant.
8. Hence it was a brick!!!!
9. After a month just last week, I thought of trying to flash back to 6.5 and see if it works.
10. Went calibrating in circles for about 10 times and guess wat!!!! It starts up!!!!
Now my conclusions are as good as anyones, it cant be an hardware issue. I am trying to find a solution so I can reflash my ROM and go to a stable version and live with my phone atleast for an year.
The Mystic ROM lite version has touch response software built in, Could this be the issue.
Anyones got any idea let me know
Hello Everyone,
I bought a verizon Titan with a kitchen ROM with WM 6.1. Yesterday I decided to try to cook one myself with WM 6.5. Everything was fine except ehe "start" button stopped working after some minutes. I cooked another opne with less programs. Then I thought it would be a good idea to use the Spbbackup I had to try to get some programs back. It told me that there has been a ROM update I clicked ok and it did its thing.
I had problems with that ROM so tried one that was in one called WM6.5Beta with WM 6.5 after that it boots, then I get a WM6.5 green screen and then the screen goes white. I though it was the Radio so I updated to the 3.42.5. No change, I tried the exitbootloader program no change. I tried to get another kitchen ROM into the Titan but the pc does not detect the Tytan. Ive tried everything I even used the las Sprint Stock Rom via Sdcard and it got to the Htc screen "no Radio". I installed the 3.42.5 Radio and I got to the WM6.5 green screen again and then it turns white.
The weird thing is that if I press the Powerbuton i get the "Power will be turned off and you may lose.." you know the usual. but I can not selkect either yes or no, the screen freezes and turns black. Another wird thing is that all the screens I see when I boot are the one I installed in my last kitchen ROM. I have tried millions hard resets, softresets, removing battery... I am really lost and I need my phone back!! Did I brick my phone? I can put new Roms and Radio through sd card method but this new ROMs dont seem to take effect since I always get the same screens...
Any help will be appreciated.
oh also If I slide the keyboard there is this "chimes" sound. So I guess a ROM is actually active but the screen is white and nothing else works...
The Flex Cable is going bad. Its the wiring so the screen can slide in and out. It can take abuse and go bad over time. Easy replace.
Hi all, I have a problem with my experia mini pro (sk17i), worked perfectly, until one day after battery recharge i reboot and the screen was black, the LED is working properly, and the light of the screen and even vibrates when touched, but I can not see anything on the screen. I tried to return it to factory state, and change the firmware to the original ice cream sandwich, but nothing seems to work.
¿Anyone have any idea what I can do? (I can not return it to the warranty**) Thanks all!
Well you try install stock .587 with flashtool right?
And install another kernel?
If you try all this things. Is not a software problem. Search a tuto how to open you phone. Is easy. And check the your phone screen conection (flex). Buy another screen on eBay.
Press thnks if I help to your mind.

man i'm sorry , but you have bricked Screen !
Hi
What do you want to do?
If your screen is broken, you could "do" something via ADB, but not so much.
PERHAPS you could delete your lockscreen (you can do, search), make the device boot wisthout sim cadr (=no pin), install (adb install) something like airdroid or similar (i do not know such apps), launch it (inside ADB with "am" + something) and hope you can "use" your phone via PC.
Ok looks more like SCI-FI!

My friend has a Mini Pro with broken lcd , he broke it 6 months back but he still manages to use till now with out any problem....
try flashing custom kernel and a new ROM , If that doesnt help.... u have to go to customer care..
Re:all
thanks all, but i'm sure that lcd is fine (maybe), because, before that (suddenly restart) my phone is allready fine with all function normally (although my lcd is broken but touch function is normal). until restart happen, my phone was not start up again. in lcd i see blank, no logo and anything. just vibrate 2 times. in that condition i think, i can make a call for test but the warning from sim operator said that my phone was turn off.

for Publiuss, i hope you can give me tutorial how to controllling my phone via pc in condition my phone like now.
maybe use the usb cable to know that my phone (until flashing rom or kernel) was working or not, and if i can getting that, means, my phone trouble in lcd.
i will keep out for cust care if i can solving my trouble by self, because maybe if i have to go cust care they will charge me cost not much different with new buying this phone.

Well Man i say is not software problem. If you flash stock firms, custom roms and kernels you manipulate all the system if the phone dont turn on is a ardware problem. Search a tuto how to open you phone and see if dont have nothing wrong. The conection screen "flex".you see all ok buy a new screen on eBay. Try. After all that phone is very important for you.

actually i had the exact same (or similar) problem after 6 months of ownership.
1) broken screen, dropped phone several times, everything still works no trouble
2) random restarts
3) boot problems, restarts got more frequent
4) can no longer boot, only a lit black screen, no SE logo
Does that sound familiar?
I understand it could be a HW problem but the only thing I can think of is the digitaliser/screen. Try to replace that and see far you get, you can find a replacement cheap from ebay (they come free with tools) and also disassembly guides are on ifixit
please post your results!!
Mini Pro screen is really vulnerable, so even a little defect can cause further issues.
I had a Mini Pro which its screen cracked when I dropped it, it was fully functionable for weeks then one Friday touchscreen didn't response anymore.
I visited a technician and paid about 4,000 Philippine pesos to get it fixed.
Second defect happened after I came back to Korea, when I dropped it toward the wooden frame of my bed.
At first the screen had several purple horizontal lines, then soon it completely blacked out.
It still exists inside my drawer, and since I loved its keypad, I recently ordered $20 screen set in Aliexpress.
I have a question: Did you fix your device after writing this thread? Was the problem related only with the screen?
