When I turn on my phone it goes to the virgin mobile start up screen then to the android screen for awhile then the screen goes black. The screen is back lit and the hardware button lights are on.
My phone is rooted using gingerbreak 2.0 I am using link2sd and I am running the stock rom.
I was installed some apps and the installation was hung up so I canceled and retried it a few times it still didn't work so I gave up. Then I was looking at app on the market and tried downloading one to my phone and it also got hung up then I did a manual reboot and my phone started getting stuck at the black screen.
If at all possible I would like to save my settings and apps which are on my phone.
Updates
I am able to boot into custom recovery.
restore the back up that u made before the phone started hanging...
Lets hope a noob has made a backup, anytime you flash do a nand backup. If your talking about the blackscreen bug, there is recent development with fserves v15 and goldenleaf kernels and there is also zacks Venice.v3.4 that fixes the BS lag. I'm using zacks to test and battery life is great

I just flashed double rainbow onto my android which was running sweet honey and now I get a looping startup, where its as follows
Samsung Vibrant Logo
Black (with some funny robotic sound)
A screen of broken images(like random lines )
reboots and repeat
Does anyone know how to remedy this problem? I just got my phone 3 days ago =(
The only way to fix this is to Obin back to stock. I always recommend to Obin to stock before flashing any ROM. This is just to make she you don't have any leftover pieces of the other ROM help with a clean install. Good Luck and you next flash

I did try that but not much of improvement.
Lately my phone began to show toxic colours, sometimes the whole screen has a green or a pink layer above the image or even a decreased resolution. After I turn off\on the display everything returns to normal or the display doesn't turn on at all.
I've been using a Bi-Winning V2 Rom on the OverStock 2.4.1 kernel for a month or so and didn't have any problems until now. This problem started while my phone was turned on, it didn't fall and no changes were made to it.
I tried to wipe cache\factory reset, flashed once again the same Rom but nothing changed. The phone can work normally for some time and then the display just doesn't turn on or displays a strange colours. I don't even know if the problem is in hardware or software.
Any suggestions?
hardware.

Hi there,
Installed Omega v15 - XXDLH6 on my GT-I9300. After a while when I'm using the phone the screen turns black in facebook app when I click on a picture. when I go from potrait to landscape it shows the transition and disappears again, Press back and I return to the timeline with working screen again. This all starts after the first time the phone turns the screen from time out.
Tried cache clearing, reinstalling app, killing app end clearing RAM. The only thing working is rebooting and then it starts again after a while.
Suggestions anyone?
Suggestion is dont use beta test firmware as its always flakey .
Second suggestion is to search your problem see if other users have found a fix ,

Hi, so sorry for the vague thread title, but really, there's no other way to describe it. So here's what happened.
For the past few weeks (or month), my Xperia Ray has had a problem of switching on after it was put into standby mode, i.e. after i pressed the lock button. The screen would light up, however would remain blank. So all I would get is a bright black screen.
I could have lived with this for a few more months (until Xperia Z gets released in my country D: ) however this problem started getting worse. At first, after pressing the home button, the volume rockers and/or the lock button for about 20 times, the screen would turn on (finally). Despite it giving me that bright black screen, i could still operate the screen. I could still try to unlock it because of the haptic feedback on my lockscreen. I could still change music tracks on my music widget on my lockscreen. In short, the screen worked perfectly, only that it kinda wouldn't show. However, for the past week, the only way to turn it back on would be to do a battery pull and switch on the phone again. And it recently developed a problem of giving me that bright black screen again when I switch it on, causing me to do about 5 battery pulls before being able to actually use my phone again.
I did get fed up with this problem, being a heavy user of my phone. Therefore, today I decided to try to do a factory reset of my phone, intending to wipe the dalvik cache + clear all user data, thinking it might help my bright black screen problem. However, I found that I couldn't boot into recovery because all my phone would do was to give me that bright black screen again! So after many battery pulls, I managed to boot up my phone normally and do a factory reset under the backup & restore tab in settings. Of course, the phone tried to reboot itself, but of course, just gave me the bright black screen.
I kinda gave up at this point, and did many battery pulls and boots, however, all I got was either
1. the terrible bright black screen
or less frequently
2. the free xperia project logo then the terrible bright black screen.
I did get very fed up, so I plugged it into a wall socket to charge it. However, since about an hour or two ago, I realised it may be on bootloop. When I plug it into a wall socket, the free xperia project logo shows up and then an even brighter black screen shows up for about 3-5 minutes, then those two repeat endlessly. The notification light doesn't show that it's charging at all.
Okay here's background info on my phone.
- Is rooted
- Bootloader is unlocked
- CM 9.1 is installed
- Was running GO Launcher (if that helps)
- had a custom boot animation
- I think i deleted an apk for the google start up configuration thing...the one that asks if you have any google accounts you want to connect when you switch on your phone for the first time. I'll search up the correct apk name if you need it.
- Is about a year old (got it last early April)
- is a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (in case you didn't notice haha)
- battery level was about 20%+ when I did a factory reset (terrible of me I know)
- I have tried to caliberate the battery a few months ago
That's all the background info I can think you need. Please do let me know if you need any other info. If you need the logcat text of what happens when I hit the lock button at the top of my phone and the phone gives me the bright black screen (the early stages of this problem), let me know and I'll dig it up. I think I've bricked it, but I can't boot it into recovery so I can't do anything. And I did all I could google for the bright black screen problem which I won't tire you by specifying here. Please do help me. It seems as if the worst of evils has befallen my phone. Now I'm stuck here with my phone crazily on bootloop beside me. Please please do help.
Flash stock rom
Just try flashing a stock rom with Flashtool. If the problem persists, then it could be a hardware problem. Flashing a stock ftf takes care of all software issues. Get the stock ics FTF file and place it in firmwares folder of flashtool. Start flashtool and select flash mode. Then choose your ftf and press ok. Then wait until it prompts you to connect your phone. Then, just turn off your phone, while holding the power button down attach the USB cable. The LED notification should turn green and wait until it finishes flashing.
flash extended stock kernel and then the stock ftf firmware file...
hit thanks if i helped u

Hi, if your phone can still be switched on and hasn't progressed so far in being destroyed, you could try downloading the Disable Auto Brightness app for Xperia phones from the Play Store. I've read somewhere that the screen might not turn on because of the auto brightness. I'm not sure if it actually helps, but perhaps my phone would have died faster without it. I've read of people changing their battery, doing battery calibrations or changing their screen to fix the problem. But before you change the hardware, I suggest that you check the hardware first. If the Disable Auto Brightness doesn't work, do a Nandroid backup and store the backup somewhere safe. Then flash the stock firmware to your phone and try to get it to switch on. Do flash the firmware before your phone runs out of battery because you never know, your phone may decide to refuse to charge your battery anytime. Then try to switch it on. If your phone goes into a bootloop (like mine now) really consider getting a new phone or sending it for repair or try all day to fix it if you use your phone alot. I'm still trying to fix mine.
I flashed the original firmware for my phone, tried to turn it on, was very happy when I saw the original Xperia logo, but then I realised it was on bootloop. When I tried to charge it, it immediately turns on and goes into bootloop again. Logcat doesn't detect my phone, so I can't obtain the logcat of what's happening. I haven't tried to replace the battery of my phone because I couldn't find a supplier. But I'll go on trying to fix my phone until the day that it really breaks down. Good luck with yours and keep us posted.
