Black Screen on Recovery/BootMenu - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just Installed SDE
Can't Access Recovery
Can't Access Boot Menu
Sometimes it's even can't boot
When it's happens i got black screen (or no display) and the power led is working, reboot or turning it off is not posibble. The only solution I found is to wait until the battery is fully discharged and power it on again.
Any thoughts how to cure it ?

I think something went wrong during SDE installation. Try to charge the battery 100%, attach power source and install it again.
Also it could be a problem with power button or volume switch. But try software method first.

Reinstalled SDE + Firmware
Recovery started to work properly, boot menu still goes black
UPDATE: Recovery dead again after reboot

Latest Update (2.4.65) Fixed this bug
In order to update you need to place aos file inside your device and update it via android (just open aos file)

Same the problem, different solution?

[Q] HELP! Is my hero bricked?

Hi guys, I am feeling really nervous about this... So, the problem is, that I've just rooted my HTC GSM Hero and installed 2.2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767886). Then I downloaded this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892297. There I chose wrong icon (I didn't notice the icon was for FroydVillain) and rebooted device... Now I can't boot device into normal mode (it shows hero for a while, then turns into black screen, and nothing more happens) or recovery mode (it stucks when it shows HERO). I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4467471&postcount=13 but it didn't work. I'm a complete beginner. Any ideas? Is my device really bricked? THANKS.

Stay calm... it's not necessarily bricked yet
First thing i would like you to do is charge your phone to max!
Try and turn on the phone and hold to "On" key and "Home" key together for 60 seconds. If this doesn't boot you to recovery, try again one more time! It's happened to me that i didn't realise the button wasn't pressed all the way down.
If that doesn't work then let it boot as normal and even though it goes to the black screen don't panic.
Do you have any of the android tools installed?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
See there for help on how to get adb up and running and then come back here.
Another thing i'm curious about while we're here... when you boot the device as normal.. connect it to power, the orange (or green) led at the top should be off for a few seconds while the hero boots up... when it goes to this black screen that you see.. does the light come on?

When my phone is off, the led is red. When I see that black screen, it is off... Is that bad??
Not necessarily.. it could just mean that it's not finishing it's boot up... let it charge for a while.
Your phone is most likely fine. You just confused it so it can't start up normally. We'll get you back in recovery mode and then you can reinstall your 2.2 rom.

yes.. if it boots into recovery mode (which it should!) wipe everything and reflash... that should sort you out.

Hi there
I'm assuming, that You know how to get into recovery, as You flashed a couple of things. Perhaps Your home key is broken
Question: do You have adb set up on Your computer? if yes - does it recognize Your phone ?
There is always option to run RRU...have You tried that ?

have you tried booting holding VOLUME DOWN?

Yes, I have ADB, but when I type adb devices, it only writes: "List of devices attached" (does that mean that it recognize my phone?)
I'm not sure I know what RRU is

Yes, it finds HEROIMG,zip, then loads it, then checks it, and adter that nothing happens - the phone still doesn't boot.
ok, volume down key response is good
ADB apears not to discover Your phone, probably drivers problem ;/
Look for RRU file it's used for factory reseting entire phone.
You can download it from HTC.com site.
With regards
brat.haneq
EDIT: go to htc.com site. look for downlaoding software for Your phone. You will have to provide Your imei. and You will receive .exe file - that You will have to run on Your PC. You can also look for it on this forum, they should be around here somewhere (or perhaps shipped roms.com)

Maybe there's some way to flash my recovery img via hboot (POWER + VOLUME DOWN)?
Try downloading usbdeview HERE plug the phone in,turn it on,leave it for 10-15 seconds for windows to recognize it...load usbdeview and uninstall and delete anything with android,htc,mass storage or adb in it thats showing as connected (on the right hand side) unplug phone......then download and install HTC Sync HERE let it install,then reboot (to be safe) plug the phone in and let its do its business,DONT let windows search and direct it to program files/htc sync/drivers (or similar) you should then have adb! If you dont it could be a problem with your misc.img i had this with my magic and fixed it with a post on this forum but will post it up if the first bit doesnt work

Xperia active died

Hello guys,
I have an Xperia active rooted with ICS (sony official) and it just died. I got a phone call and before I even answer it the phone crashed and was unresponsive. I removed the battery and from that point on it doesn't boot. I just get a vibration and then nothing. It needs to remove the batter again in order to shut down.
Some things that might help
1) No response or led light when plugged into PC or wall charger
2) Can get to Fastboot and Flashmode
3) I tried flashing again ICS and 2.3.4 but still nothing. The flash finishes OK but I the phone doesn't turn on.
4) When tried flashing with Wipe Data option enabled I always get the Abort Flashing error.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Yes it's unlocked. I tried your suggestion by installing this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910 and then the official ICS image but still the same thing. It vibrates when turned on and stays there .

Could it be battery related? You cannot enter clockworkmod, when you have flashed for example rage or x-kernel?

If it was batter then it shouldn't turn on at least when plugged into the charger? Also once I hit power button and vibrates then it stays there, it doesn't shutdown. If I press the button again it does nothing until I remove and put back the battery. I believe this is an indication that it's not battery. Also the first time when crashed when I was pressing the power button the bottom buttons (return home and menu) were turning on (not anymore though since it seems that doesn't boot at all)
I tried booting to clockworkmod but no luck . Just to make sure, how do I do it in Xperia Active? If I remember correctly I have to press the volume down button several times until it gets into to he recovery mode, right?
Yes, you are right. Try to relock your bootloader.

How can I relock the bootloader? What if the solution is to have an unlocked bootloader? Can I unlock it again since the phone is not responsive now?
Sorry for two many questions. I started really worrying about losing the phone now .
I just noticed that for rage kernel I have to wait for the blue light to turn on and then press volume down. I do this but still nothing. I started suspecting that might be a screen problem. Can someone give me the sequence to restart phone or turn off from the recovery mode? If this work and it means it's my screen I guess.
Maybe it has something to do with bootloader. I bet it can be relocked, you just have to search a tutorial. I would try it, you have nothing to lose now.

You can't turn off from cwm, just pull battery. Maybe screen is dead, so background screen. You could try logcat to see what happens.
So the blue light appear, but screen doesn't come up? So it's related to the screen I think.
If you flash sony stock rom for your device you should be able to relock bootloader, just search in the forum for solutions...

OK thank you guys. I will try to relock the bootloader and see how it goes. BTW when I tried to use SUS I got a message that a modified image (or something) was detected. Is this due to the unlocked bootloader? If I lock it the SUS will also work?

It didn't die while I was experimenting with flash. It was working properly for a long time and just died after a phone call. That's the guide I used to root it and install ICS in the first place. That's of no use now since at step 3 the phone doesn't boot anymore. Blank screen.

Get into recovery mode (press voluke down with phone switched off, then connect the USB cable), and then flash a stock FTF filr using flashtool
Sent from my ST17i using xda app-developers app
Hello dumraden,
I tried your suggestion but still nothing . When press volume down and connect USB cable the led lights green and I suppose I get into flash mode. Is this correct? I am asking because you mentioned recovery mode and I am not sure if it's the same thing.
Also the screen seems to be completely black! Like it doesn't light up at all, not even a light flick.
I also tried loading the rage kernel for 2.3.4 Android and then installing the stock 2.3.4 FTF but I get the following error:
09/019/2012 06:19:19 - INFO - (X10flash.java:230) - Flashing loader

09/019/2012 06:19:19 - INFO - (FlasherGUI.java:831) - Device disconnected
Any ideas? If I untick Wipe data it flashes just fine.
I tried the new Flashtool and didn't gave me this error (with Wipe user data ticked) but still the phone is dead.
I noticed some new symptoms on my phone.
1) When is turned on it doesn't just freeze, it stays with a black screen doing nothing and after several minutes (not always the same time) it turns off again (I call this turn on-off cycle)
2) Today after several flashes I let it rest and after a few turn on-off cycles it actually worked. It worked for couple of minutes and I was even able to make a test call to it and worked but after few minutes it got back to the previous state.
3) I noticed that this turn on-off cycle consumes a lot of battery. After symptom (2) when the phone turned on I noticed that had about 25% battery. 5-6 turn on-off cycles after that the battery was completely drained (led flashes orange when I press the power button).
4) Now the phone can be charged from the wall charger
The phone now has rage kernel for 2.3.4 Android, the official 2.3.4 android of Sony. Also I tried to relock it using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563840 and unbrick it using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553601
I wasn't able to verify if the bootloader was indeed relocked. How can I do this with the phone off? flashtool says "Bootloader: ROOTED"

If you haven't done it yet, pull out the battery, put it back in and try to get into bootloader or recovery. (the pulling out the battery part is important)
by the way, what exactly is happening when you try to boot? please describe step by step what is happening. And what do you mean by boot "into hboot"?
And how did you try to go back to stock? Did you even get into the stock rom. Didn't you just forgot to flash the boot.img when going back to stock?

Can't get into download mode or recovery mode

I recently bought a rooted Galaxy S3 from a friend. The problem is I can't get into download mode or CWM recovery.

The phone is on android version 4.1.1 at this moment.

No download mode then you have a faulty phone and require a service centre repair .

You could try a usb jig to force into download mode. They're a couple of dollars / pounds whatever.
There's also a thread in general to find who could lend you one nearby

That seems a smart question I'm new to Samsung.
Download: Volume down, power on button and front button (home button) pushed in at the same time whilst the device is off to get into download. Result: I see the screen go on (screen is black but there's backlight) and after a couple of seconds it just boots the normal android system.
Recovery is volume up, power and home at the same time when the device is turned off. Same here, I see a response e.g. the backlight goes on but after a few seconds the phone boots up normally.
The booting proces takes longer than it normally does when just turning the device on. I think the software installed is causing this (the hardware seems to respond but it's like the software just ignores the input)

You can the following procedure, as described in many threads around here. You just need to do the following steps:
1: download stock firmware (you can find it at http://sammobile.com)
2: download Odin (i recommend v3.07, you can find with a search)
3: install usb drivers for your device
4: put your device in download mode (remove your battery and put back on the phone; after this power it up with power button + home button + volume DOWN; when your device vibrate, release the power button but keep the another 2 pressed)
5: confirm the warning on screen with volume UP
6: open Odin, click in PDA and select the downloaded firmware (you may need to unpack it first, because Odin expects a .tar or a .tar.md5 file)
7: plug your device in your computer; Odin must recognize your phone (a blue field will appear on screen)
8: uncheck only the auto-reboot and leave the another boxes as it is
9: click on start button and wait... it will take around 15 minutes
10: when "reset" appears on the screen, disconnect your device, remove the battery and put it again; after this, power up your phone normally and wait the boot. It should work as expected now.

You can the following procedure, as described in many threads around here. You just need to do the following steps:
1: download stock firmware (you can find it at http://sammobile.com)
2: download Odin (i recommend v3.07, you can find with a search)
3: install usb drivers for your device
4: put your device in download mode (remove your battery and put back on the phone; after this power it up with power button + home button + volume DOWN; when your device vibrate, release the power button but keep the another 2 pressed)
5: confirm the warning on screen with volume UP
6: open Odin, click in PDA and select the downloaded firmware (you may need to unpack it first, because Odin expects a .tar or a .tar.md5 file)
7: plug your device in your computer; Odin must recognize your phone (a blue field will appear on screen)

screen stays black after doing this.. will the problem possibly be on the SCREEN itself? it also heats up alot everytime i turn it on..
i called the number and its ringing i even managed to answer it by swiping the screen even if i cant see a thing.
any thoughts?

Umm, I would rather take it to the service centre.
If you're not sure what's wrong and if you don't mess around with your phone, that's the only way you got.

You screen was black even in download mode?
If not, you could try to flash CWM and do a factory reset in your device, and reflash the rom. But I think it's better to take your device to an authorized service center.

i managed to flash stock rom via odin (without seeing anything) and problem still occurs.. my wife brought it to service center and was told that the problem seems to be on the screen itself *hope its not* we'll call them after 3 days to know the real problem..
i hope its just a wiring problem, because if the problem is the screen, that means a lot of money ~
thanks to all!
