Ok guys, i have serious problems here..
I just installed viper rom last night and everything works normally in about 3 hours until i restored my apps by titanium backup then my screen goes blank with capatitive button lights on
But everything seems to work, i turn off screen then turn on again i can feel vibrate for unlock screen. even i got some calls i can accept that. but my screen is full black.
Tried to turn off power, go to bootloader and my screen still black. huh. i push vol down button one time to go to recovery mode and it works, my phone vibate once again.
I hope this is not hardware problems bcz i live in Indonesia and htc Indonesia wont accept my phone to be repaired. Anyone had this issue before?
Thanks before..
For info what i did before:
Flash viper rom
Flash de sense script
Flash swipe to clear
boot normally for some hours until titanium backup process make this thing happens.. :-(
I'm guessing its either swipe to clear or tb that screwed your phone up. Since swipe to clear deals with the screen I'm leaning towads that. Also in your tb backup you restored did you have the ponury gesture app ??? Henceforth you should try a full wipe, if you have a superwipe zip I'd recommend flashing it. Then wipe cache,data,davlik-cache. Then either restore a nand or flash a fresh rom without any mods and see if the issue remains. Also if you restore with tb only restore app not apps+data. Also what rom were you running??

i mean everything is works but screen is black. i cant see anything also bootloader and recovery mode. but i believe its works.
go to bootloader by holding vol down and power 5 second then prress vol down then power it boots to recovery mode, i know bcz my phone was vibrate one time, but screen is black.
im on hboot 1.5 so i tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" and my phone vibrate again. i know my phone works normally except the screen is blank.
im using twrp 1.0.3
if the screen is dead why i can stiil recieve call and turn on hotspot?? (i know place of hotspot toggle in quick setting, 2nd row)..
really appreciate all helps..
i feels like on evo 3d blind mode now..
If you're in Indonesia, I'm guessing you have a gsm phone.viperROM is cdma. You'll have to flash a gsm ROM. Your screen issues are probably due to kernel issues.

It sounds like LCD is bad. The digitizer is good still. You will probably have to order one on eBay and fix it yourself. Sorry man

It is the lcd screen. I have a coworker who has the same issue. Can answer calls, but screen dead. You will have to replace the lcd. There are guides and videos on here, so it shouldn't be to hard.

Odd indeed. Did you do a backup from Recovery first?
OTA's do that...why trust "the man"?
\Honestly, read what the devs are doing and DO NOT trust the carriers.
I havent..I was not expecting that. Anyway...is just annoying few times. I don't restart many times my phone.

At that point the menu was back working.
My only thoughts are...I have taken off the battery after it restarted after the update..I have switched on the phone..used it for half a day...and the update was not complete?!?!
This is one of the strange things I don't get of Android (or HTC)

I haven't done anything...I want my switch off button back
I will try to reset before rooting etc... Am I the only one who had this problem??

Are you rooted ?

No..I am not.
I will root today or in the following days. I was not rooting since I was checking out the battery life problem.
I just did the update OTA from HTC.
wow that's strange I did the update and i still have those functions
There was a post somewhere else (this forum) about this...
the answer that fixed it for me was to enable "Use Secure Credentials" (Settings->Security)
It may be that you have to turn fast boot on, too (Settings->Power)
Hate to suggest it... but I would probably try reflashing the firmware with an RUU if you don't want or need root access.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Even around the same time yesterday. I installed the update the night before and thought it was fine. Noticed the next day my power off option was gone. Got the same popup out of nowhere and all of the sudden it's fine again.
Very odd.

that worked for me
I just recently bought an Atrix 4G off a friend for 50 bucks so I'm not complaining at all.
This phone went through hell, I couldn't stand looking at the back cover it was so abused, I ended up buying a new one along with a battery. Now my only problem; the digitizer has an area of the screen, goes from the home key all the way up the screen, that isn't responsive and sometimes causes the screen to tweak out and select random things and sometimes goes completely unresponsive until i lock/unlock the phone again. Also the back and home keys are really hit or miss when they work. I just ordered a new digitizer and it should be here this week, I'm curious if this will fix it. Also I plan on replacing or removing the screen anyways since the ffc somehow has dust on the inside of the lens Anyway to prevent this in the future with this phone?
You wouldn't have happened to position your internal drive? If so, sounds like pds issue. Relatively easy to fix with moto fastboot. Google search pds fix Atrix

I haven't messed with any of that, the most I've done is flashed Neutrino EE rom. Which is also giving me issues, but since I'm new to this board I cannot complain about it yet. I'll give the fastboot a try.
Would one for gingerbread work for my rom, I don't want to brick my phone

So did that link work?
It's definitiely the neutrino rom. My phone has been working fine for ever and I flashed Neutrino and sure enough, same issue you are having. Now flashing any other rom has not fixed it. I'm going to try this partition fix when i'm at home, can't do fastboot at work.
Interesting. I just ran into this exact issue. I already ordered a new digitizer. I did flash Neutrino EE a while ago but only kept it for a day. I have a hard time believing the ROM will cause it. Might try that PDS fix but I'm afraid of any unwanted side effects. I thought I remember to never mess with the PDS.
I don't think it has to do with anything software related. I had this problem before and did my researching, turns out a lot of people encounter these issues. Even with stock roms, people that had never even rooted their phone. Screen wise this phone is a piece of ____. Had to exchange mine and now this new one is starting to act up again.

well here is the pdsfix.img if ya want to try it http://db.tt/mRStSurc
save to Root of sdcard not in any folder
then
to install use Android terminal emulator
type
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/pdsfix.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
then hit enter
it should then read somthing like this
4096+0 records IN
4096+0 records out
2097152 bytes transfered in 2.746 secs (763711 bytes/sec)
then reboot and then ya should
be good as new
i have used it 3x now it works!
and yes the last time was when i was running neutreno rom g+ then wiped
and went back to darkside and thats when it messed up for me
THIS SHOULD ONLY BE USED IF ;
all your touch buttons on the phone
dont work AT ALL the keyboard work but
doesnt type Write when you touch a spcific letter
Also cant open anything like app drawer/settings / You lost your boot.img
and it was replaced with 14 differnt options. and a battery pull or fastboot -w and flashing a new rom didnt work!
PDS fix did nothing. Thanks for the suggestion though. Hoping the digitizer takes care of it whenever it arrives from Hong Kong.
It's not the Neutrino rom, it had this problem before hand when the phone was stock and unrooted.
So the pds did NOTHING. I replaced the screen and all my home keys work great now, the vertical line of nothingness turned horizontal towards the top of the screen AND my phone gets locked into a black screen when I make calls now??? What the hell??? This is really starting to piss me off.

are ya still running a neutreno rom
cause sometimes when i made a call
the screen would like go to sleep and wouldnt wakeup till they hung up or i rebooted its a issue a few people were haveing in the dev thread of neutreno
but it could be a cm7 weekly issue too
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Yeah I'm still on board with Neutrino, it seems to run a lot smoother than stock, it's the only other rom I've tried. I really like it.
It's defiantly the screen... When I'm in a call and it's locked into the black screen and I push the screen down into the phone it unlocks from the call.
I also tried the pdsfix from terminal and it didn't work.
Sometimes it wont even turn the screen off now........
as soon as u connect to a call
push the home button it your screen timeout is low like. ,30 try 2 min
but when in a call dont leave the dailer open backout to the homesceen should work "untill the phone gos to sleep.
and my pds issue didnt arise till
i flashed back to a blur rom (darkside)
it could have neen my fault too cause it was late on newyears eve and flashing roms and taquila dont mix IMHO, :sly:

The phone will still lock itself...
Is the Atrix 2 any better of a phone because I could care less about the fingerprint scanner and the docks.
well in my opinion the atrix 2 Not in anyway better it almost seems worse(not much because its still an atrix
because The main selling points of the atrix is the dual core processer and the fingerprint scanner)
well i can confirm
wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvic
and flash eather the stable cm7
build or a lite blur rom
WILL correct this issue :screwy:
I'll give it a try, and suggested lite blur roms... I really dont like motoblur at all its crap
I'm just looking for something that runs smoothly and has good battery life.
And so far I really like everything about the atrix, exactly what I want.. just these screen and call issues make me want to grab another phone....

Its the screen -.-
I'm wondering if anyone is having trouble with their phone rebooting constantly? I recently changed recoveries to 5.5.0.4, and now my phone reboots constantly. Never had this problem with the buggy no off-charging CWM (although I had the worst time getting my phone to boot after the battery died ), and I don't think I've changed anything else (same ROM) since then except recovery, but I don't think it's from recovery.
This is how it started: I was playing Tiny Tower last night to drain my battery, so I could have a fresh charge. When it got around 3% life, it rebooted, and now it has been rebooting whenever I turn the screen on for a few minutes. I tried fixing permissions and reinstalling NRGZ stock kernel, but it's still rebooting.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Edit: Went ahead and wiped everything and re-installed Energy ROM, and it seemed to have fixed the problem, but it just rebooted again. Starting to think it's a hardware problem now.
Also just for clarification, it's not a full reboot (no HTC splash screen); it just goes back to the boot animation.
Update: I went into the bootloader and did a factory reset and then wiped everything from CWM again and reinstalled Energy. I have slowly been restoring apps fron Titanium Backup, and I think the reboots were being caused by RootDim (possibly reacting negatively with NRGZ button backlight tweak). I'm not 100% sure about this, but it didn't start until I used RD to completely turn off the button lights. Anyways, the reboots seemed to have stopped for now...
I had a similar problem happening after I installed RootDim, but I never really inquired about it so I just left it uninstalled.
However, I saw on the forums that people solved these types of constant rebooting issues by going into CWM recovery > advanced > fix permissions.
I never tried it, but I kind of wish you didn't factory reset and reflash so you could give it a shot and let us know if it solves the problem

Are you sure you're flashing the kernel properly? Flash the ROM, then reboot the phone from recovery and let it boot before using the kernel flasher.
My buddy had a constant reboot issue (along with other issues) using that recovery when I tried rushing and flashing the kernel right after the ROM while still in recovery.

There are a few apps that have been noted to cause reboots. Unfortunately I heard Pandora was one of them. If you call T-Mobile tech they can give you short list of reboot app culprits.

I just bought an Amaze from Ebay and it is running Energy rom. Once a day, it goes to that boot up screen with the spinning rings. However it's not a full reboot like you said, it just freezes the phone then I have to take out the battery and restart it. I am not a developer, so I have to ask, what is root dim? Sounds like that might be my problem. How do I fix it?

Was about to add this here, but a search led me to your OP and link to my post on MikMik. Just happy people are getting the info.
So here is a copy of my post.
What is safe mode and how do I use it?
Safe mode is a method that allows the device to run with only essential applications. This is beneficial for troubleshooting 3rd party applications.
If and when you have strange problems with your phone, I would try this before a factory reset or even re-flashing a rom. If your problem goes away in safe mode, you know it is some software that safe mode disabled thats the problem.
From what I read, it has always been a part of the Android OS. But not all devices get there the same way, there is no standard other than it is always hardware buttons.
I learned about it from a HTC Tech, but he didn’t know how to enable it on this device. He told me to hold the power & menu buttons while booting. As you know we don’t have a menu button.
How to Enable on the EVO 4g LTE?
Boot or Reboot your phone.
When the “HTC quietly brilliant” splash screen comes up, press and hold volume down, until you get a long vibrate response. Then you can release the volume button.
Now when your phone is booted, you will see the words “safe mode” in the bottom left corner of your screen.
How to Disable on the EVO 4g LTE?
Just reboot. That’s all.
Something you should know before you try out Safe Mode.
Your widgets, mostly 3rd party widgets will be missing from your screen, or broke. Just replace them on your screen and all will be fine.
Hope this helps someone, someday, someway!
Hahaha
Thanks for posting this. I got into safe mode once on accident and saw it on my screen and had no idea what the hell it meant, so I was able to reboot to remove it.

I have a question HTC was trying to help me get to safe mode and he had me hold down the down volume button and I got to the boot screen. But my phone is doing this wierd thing where it is constantly rebooting over and over again. I let the battery drain and now I am charging it to full but even in the boot screen and I hit reboot or fast reboot it doesn't take me to my home screen it keeps rebooting over and over. So I am guessing I can't get to safe mode if it doesn't boot to the home screen. Cause HTC said in safe mode he could see what app or what is causing the hang up to make my phone reboot and reboot over and over. I really don't want to do a hard reset but am guessing I'll have to. But I have already activated and used Google Wallet and read you have to clear it out before doing a hard reset or it will brick your phone. HTC said that's not true. I don't know what to do.

What to go into safemode. HTC was gonna have me do it and he couldn't see in the manual how to do it but my phone is stuck it won't go to my home screen so I can't get to safemode. My phone keeps rebooting without going to my home screen I am stuck on the HTC screen to the Sprint screen to the HTC Beats audio screen and it's in a loop doing the same 3 things over and over.. I'm afraid to hard reset because people say it can brick your phone something to do with Google Wallet. HTC said that's not true I don't know. Sprint said take it to the store tomorrow but if I have to hard reset I would rather just do it myself why bother with the store.

No I am not Rooted. All of a sudden I saw my phone was rebooting this am and it just goes back and forth from the HTC white screen to the Sprint Logo screen to the white HTC beats Audio Screen over and over it reboots to the same 3 screens. Won't go to my home screen so I am stuck with no phone until I do a hard reset. But I don't know if it will fry my google wallet people are saying it does something to the secure element and makes it unusable. I don't know. My phone is turned off until tomorrow when I can call HTC back or take it to the store.

Rose, take this how you want. I had set up GW and then forgot and wiped my phone before flashing a new rom. I did this 3 times and it's still fine. Supposedly the important wallet stuff is stored in the cloud now since one of the updates.
Its up to you if you want to reset. The sprint tech will probably yell you that is your only choice. After one of our prl updates I lost data connection and the rep on the phone was ready to send me a refurbished one even before I reset Tue phone.
I ended up fixing it myself by updating prl and profile while on wifi.
Didn't you have another problem with your phone before? I could be wrong but I thought you mentioned it in a thread over at AF.
Hope this helps,
Naters
Oh I personally wouldn't worry about the wallet issue. If the phone ends up with hardware problems you'd end up with it replaced anyways.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Rose, I experienced the exact same problem as you about a week ago. My phone randomly just went into a crazy cycle of rebooting, never making it past the screen with HTC and the Beats logo. I eventually had to just hard reset it... and since then it's been working fine. I had also activated Google Wallet prior to hard resetting and had the same concerns as you, but after hard resetting, my Google Wallet still works perfectly fine. I don't think you need to worry about that. I know that doing a hard reset sucks because it takes a while to restore everything back to how you had it, but having a working phone is much better than having one that constantly reboots. I hope this helped!
Thanks but what I should I do now? I did a Hard Reset this am. I read an article that stuff was fixed with the wallet thing so I hard reset. And I did update Profile and PRL and went to see if there were any other updates. I got back Amazon app store and put on about 5 or 10 of my free apps back on. Went to play store and it showed all apps and I installed several. Mostly games like words with friends Song Pop Scramble with Friends Haning and Dice With Buddies. I use Handcent and Yahoo messenger which kept not responding after an update over and over before my phone went into reboot mode. I have normal apps like trapster beat the traffic some other games Dolphin Browser TV Show Favs Big Battery thing and car home ultra. I have Foursquare auto redial tiny call confirm.
Got to work went to turn on wifi and it went back to being disconnected and then I couldn't touch the screen and it froze and I just put the phone back in my pocket and ten minutes later I pulled it out and there was a black screen and when I turned it on the boot thing happened over and over again. Here i got back most of my apps configured couple emails. So now it's doing it again Sprint said go to store let them do a diagnostics. She said you can hard reset it back again and if they find no problem put your apps back on and try to recreate it. I don't have time to stand in a Sprint store installing apps. HTC said do a Hard Reset don't ad any apps for a day or two and see if it happens again if not then an app is causing it to hang. But how do I find out which one? And they wanted me to go into safe mode but I couldn't since it won't go to the home screen. So now I am back at a Hard Reset just got home from work and am scared to add anything but I want too. I need Handcent and want a couple others. HTC asked if I had downloaded any task killers or apps like that and I said no. I had Android Assistant before but hadn't put it back on.. HTC said if it comes back in the next couple days and I haven't added any apps call them back. Do you think an app is causing it to hang or that it's hardware. Should I still let Sprint do a diagnostics on it tomorrow or just leave it alone for now for a couple days like HTC said?
I had major problems with my Touch Pro 2 and sense and had to reset it several times. This phone the only problem I had was text not sending right away but it got fixed network problems and then after this past update my handcent would open to a black screen and it would take a minute before it would open and my sense sometimes would restart on occasion but it stopped after I took speak to it assistant widget away. But this last update made it a little sluggish.

[its up to you if you want to reset. The sprint tech will probably yell you that is your only choice. After one of our prl updates I lost data connection and the rep on the phone was ready to send me a refurbished one even before I reset Tue phone.
I ended up fixing it myself by updating prl and profile while on wifi.
Didn't you have another problem with your phone before? I could be wrong but I thought you mentioned it in a thread over at AF.
Hope this helps,
Naters
Oh I personally wouldn't worry about the wallet issue. If the phone ends up with hardware problems you'd end up with it replaced anyways.

Thanks I just replied to someone else then saw your reply you can read what I wrote about hard resetting adding most of my apps and then it started doing it again. So now I hard reset again and haven't added anything. I did the updates it said I had and for now that is all I am doing. It sucks but your right I would rather have a working phone. So is Titanium the good backup app and can you use it now without being rooted?

Rose, I experienced the exact same problem as you about a week ago. My phone randomly just went into a crazy cycle of rebooting, never making it past the screen with HTC and the Beats logo. I eventually had to just hard reset it... and since then it's been working fine. I had also activated Google Wallet prior to hard resetting and had the same concerns as you, but after hard resetting, my Google Wallet still works perfectly fine. I don't think you need to worry about that. I know that doing a hard reset sucks because it takes a while to restore everything back to how you had it, but having a working phone is much better than having one that constantly reboots.

Sorry I know that was a long post. I took my phone to Sprint today after doing a 2nd reset last night. They did run a diagnostics and it didn't pass. They then said they had to reset it themselves once more and run one more diagnostics and it failed again. So they are ordering me another phone and it should be in the store tomorrow or the next day. But the warehouse is here in my city where I live and it was ordered around 3 so I hope it's tomorrow. It's going to be a refurb though so I hope it ends up being good. I still kind of thought it was an app causing it to hang since it did the same thing after my reset and I added several apps back. But anyway that's what happened to me. So now I need to order another screen protector.

Thanks for letting me know what happened. I hope the "new" one is good. Sorry they couldn't fix it.

Just got a text from Sprint my phone is in. Yay! I just want to download my apps configure my emails and have my home screens back to the way they were. If Sprint told me it failed the Diagnostics test twice that means it's hardware right? Cause since it did it twice again after reinstalling several apps I was starting to think an app was causing it to hang. But I am guessing I can install most of the apps I had before. I'm just kind of scared LOL!

Yes. If it failed after a factory reset, it was hardware related.
I see you added to punctuation to your previous post. :thumbup: nice, makes more sense. Good luck with next one (Evo)

Just got back from Sprint. He said they sent me a brand new phone. He claims they must not of had any refurbs cause the phone is pretty new I don't know how to tell. It had a cover over the screen and looked new to me. But anyway yes I hard reset and it failed and then he hard reset it again and got some error message or something he said. So he doesn't think it was app related and i hope not. Cause now it's time to reconfigure my phone.

na.. i dont play with oc on this phone.. fast enough for me!!
I have the same issue, but for me only happens after I wipe, definitely after a system wipe, maybe after cache wipes as well. The back button won't work once the dial is up, but it seems home will, after a slight delay, then sense finishes loading up.
It's very weird. On Stock w/ Goodies now.

yea i think it happens most after i wipe.. but sometimes even if i just do a normal reboot .. that is odd though.. looks like the same thing happens to u.. thats the only problem i have with my phone it that.. other than that its perfect!! :good:
I literally reflashed a couple hours ago, it happened, and I thought to myself that I have to ask if it happens to anyone else. I always forgot bc its so minor, but still an annoyance.
Then I stumbled on this post, of course after I forgot to look into it again lol
