Hi all,
Hope someone here can help me :-S
Ive got a HTC EVO3d gsm phone and thought it a good ideato flash Guerin with the latest leedroid software...
I really pundit but for one problem :-(
When I go to the menu screen which has all the icons on it which u can scroll through, the screen is not centred. It was when I initially flushed it but over time (a few days) all the icons which are on the left side seem to be half off the screen. Even the HTC calibration seems off..the calibration mark which u press is not on the edge of the screen but about 5mm off the side... Hope that makes sense....
Wipe all partitions except sd within your recovery and flash only the rom. See if the problem still exists.

Bering a noob at all this, could you please elaborate on that. When u say wipe all partitions except sd within recovery, do u mean for me to put my phone into recovery mode?? Sorry if I sound a tad dense here... Took me long enough to root and flash me phone ;-) also, by doing what u say, does that wipe my apps...reason I ask is coz I've got some notes in note pad app I don't want to loose :-(
Cheers
I wish I never done it now...
I've only just gone and bricked my evo 3d... cant get the bloody thing to 1 get past the white with green HTC logo screen, also when going into recovery mode and try to do a reboot or factory reset...actually any of the options all I get is a black screen with a tophat in the middle and nothing happens...
When I try a fastboot i get the PB99IMG.zip invalid image message...
So I replaced the latest image from my phone (which i also stored on my PC) with the one on my PC just incase for some reason the image became corrupt... but still nowt... Time to place foot to phone... unless anyone oot there knows what I can doo....

This is certainly not related to VillianROM in any way.
I think it's a hardware problem - there's something wrong with display panel. If the backlight is dead you should barely see very dark image on the screen in bright lightning conditions.
Anyway, looks like there's nothing you nor your friend can do to fix it. You need to send it to service.

If the phone has USB debugging enabled by accident (I guess it's hard to turn it on blindly) then you can access it using adb shell. If you have custom recovery image installed, such as Clocwork or Amon_RA, you can boot to it and fave full access to your phone through USB using adb (or fastboot) so you can flash new ROM images.

Yes, what he said ^^.
I'll just add one more thing. To get to custom recovery easily, pull the battery out and put it back in again. Then perform what ever key combination to boot custom recovery.
Good luck to your friend!
You might also have more luck posting in the Wildfire sections where they me able to help. It does seem like a Hardware issue with the screen to me? Was it dropped or anything?
It seems like hardware. Probably connection between screen and PCB.
ya his phone dropped many times, ya it seems like hardware issue to me also..
Hey guys I got another legend but have a problem when I turn it on it always goes to the fastboot menu - sometimes the keys work and I can get to the stock recovery but then I'm stuck. Anybody knows what might be the problem and if its fixable?
Thanks

not to high jack this thread . but i had the same problem .
and now after a recovery ( finally ) the phone isnt working very well . the hard keys work then then suddenly they dont .
damn . i need a new phone
After 2 hours of phone being on....
My Thunderbolt booted to the recovery menu only. I tried recovery, it went throught the gyration and back to the recovery menu again. I tried all the other options too and still the same recovery menu.
There was some direct sunlight for a couple of hours but not really intense heat, and when I pulled the back off there was some condensation around the camera lens. I'm wondering if this would've caused it.
I had to get order a new phone (insured) because VZW couldn't do anything about it either. This issue was similar to mine, so I didn't start a new thread.
Any ideas?
If I do a compleat format of rom space ie system, data, cache, my phone will only boot to fast menu, perhaps your phone's rom space has been wiped, another possibility is bad sectors/bad blocks on the storage space have developed at the begining of the boot sector? please excuse my winblows terminology maybe that should be called mount points not boot sector.
My Hero has been under water for a sec, and is stuck in "HERO" .
Then I guess somthing still is working inside.
Is it a worth try to reinstall a ROM?
I see that this issue already has been written about, but I will really appreciate an explanation for a dummie
Will the unit be able to start a reinstall if a new software is placed onto the memory card? Is the fact that the phone shows "HERO" a sign that the boot process reaches the point to start a reinstall?
If so, can anyone please link me the appropriate ROM and explain what to do?
Is the ROM an .exe file?
I have tried the trick to reset the unit by pressing HOME, BACK and hit the POWER buton. The unit got into the meny and I selected RESET or something but it did solve the problem . I do not know any other easy trick.
Thanks!
Is ur phone rooted? if so try holding the HOME key then power on the device and that will get u into recovery screen, there, try flashing a new ROM u can find plenty here:

Think I got the Phone reinstalled via SD Card now with original ROOT.ZIP.
It is not rooted. However, it does not boot an further that the "HERO" screen....
Are there anything else to try?
Get an RUU from HTC's website, thats rescued a few soft bricks that i got. Although you may have damaged some internal components.

This is what I did:
Downloaded the ROM-:2.73.405.5 from HTC.
Installed in windows 7 and took the ROOT.ZIP file from the installation TEMP folder, renamed it to HEROIMG.ZIP and put it to the clean FAT32 SD card and booted the HERO.
The HERO installed the file without any fault messages,
but still the unit does not boot any further than the "HERO" white letters...
I guess this is it...I need a new print card for the phone? I have checked the contacts inside the HERO, they seem ok.
When putting the unit to charge the orange light lits, but disappear when pressing power button - however, the battery DOES charge.
Why did you extract the ROM.zip, just let the RUU run its course. It'll fix any software issues that may exist.

This - and two weeks of vacation worked - thanks!
So last night i was playing around trying to test some ROMS and i manage to hit i think is format a partion in Recovery , and that mess up my PDA's , so i did the from here that got me my touch screen back correctly ..
But now when i turn on the phone i got this kinda linux style menu with all the option(fastboot , recovery etc ...) why is that ??
here's 2 pics of it..
The phone still boot up after the 5 sec for the menu ..
No one ever saw that ? or know what the problem is ..
I recall seeing that happen when the boot logo was f*ed up. Try flashing another boot logo.
This is soft brick, isn't it? Search for recovery from soft brick, many posts about that. Don't use RSD Lite.
Boot logo boot up after 5 sec like the menu says ..
And soft brick when im fully using my phone ?!!?
It's like if i turn a switch like on a PC when you boot and press ESC it show the boot process .. well it look like this... lol ..
I think it's one of my PDA that's screw up ..
I'm having the same boot issue on my Atrix. It also happened me after I accidentally pressed Format Partition in recovery mode. It didn't really bothered me until now, but now it's getting quiet annoying, because I often change SIM cards and the long boot time is boring. Hope you guys find a solution.
I had the same issue with my Atrix, just like @YBrazeau and @mrdodi.
And it happened I've fat-fingered the 'format partition' button...
Anyway, as I'm using custom rom Alien version #4, I've got the 'boot.img' from the rom file and tried to flash it using fastboot.
I'm still getting the same screen when booting up my mobile.
I'm gonna backup everything and try to apply the Alien rom again from scratch (factory reset). I don't even know if this is gonna work.
I'll let you know what I've got.
New ideas are more than welcome.
Thanks,
Ron

The boot logo Turl mentioned above is not the same thing as a boot.img. A boot logo will be named logo.bin.
Search the Themes and Apps forum. There's a thread on how to make your own logo, and they have the stock one available for download along with instructions on how to install it.
Thanks, ghost_og, that worked!
@ghost_og & @turl1 thanks for the advice! that solved the problem.
happy holidays!

hey all, as you know i was trying to port full sense for desire x dual sim community. ive already searched for custom ROM for desire x dual sim on that Chinese market community web site..no luck there wasn't any full jb sense ROM for dual sim dx.
so i ported it myself and to test it i borrowed dx dual sim from my friend.
so it goes like this. my friends dx dual sim was perfectly stock and n wasn't rooted. this morning i unlocked its boot-loader and it all went so well. within 5 min i unlocked the boot-loader and after that i flashed recovery which i founded in previous threads, it said that the recovery was specially made for desire x dual sim and was posted here on xda from that Chinese forums. anyways i flashed the recovery, it was miui using fast-boot and then i flashed superuser package and rooted the desire x dual sim. it was factory rested and it rebooted i saw superuser in the menu and i was quite happy. but then in order to flash the rom i ported, i had to change the recovery as the miui recovery wasn't taking backups. so i changed my recovery to twrp, made by nexus_prime in a few threads back. i flashed that recovery and everything was good till then. after that when i try taking backups from twrp recovery it says failed. i was sick of trying again and again but no luck, then twrp recovery suggested that i should install super su in order to gain root. i said ok install it and then my device rebooted. i saw super su app there and also not to forget i was already having super user installed cause i was rooted. the super su app wasn't working it said updating binary and then it said failed. i uninstalled it thinking its not gonna work for me. after i uninstalled it, i rebooted my deice to fast-boot in order to change my recovery back to miui.
i powered desire x dual sim off and then boom, **** my damn device is not turning on now, ive already tried looking for solution online and ive already tried changing battery and pulling them off and on but no luck damn it. when connected it shows orange led and then cpu vibrates like 5 times every 3 hours later. it doesn't boot neither it gets into boot-loader.
some body please tell me soon what wrong i did and what am i suppose to do now? and some one (@xpirit) said that desire x dual sim cannot be bricked if its s -on.
what should i do now. ill be in big trouble if my friends find out what happned to his device.
someone pls help me out ASAP.
thank you
Let it charge peacefully for an hour

not a battery issue
please i respect youre help but ive already said i aint a battery or charging problem, its annoying to see that kind of solutions - pull battery out, let it charge or unplug and plug it ..etc . all these are really not helping, i think my boot loader or something like that is erased and thats why its happening. i want a fix to the solution, any help is always appreciated, except the stupid battery or charging things.
thanks
lol, you dont even know half of what you are talking about.... you tried to port roms, before even learning rooting and flashing basics, and you tell him his solution is stupid?
Its true, you cant mess up the boot-loader so easily.... its just that you have tried to flash SU binary from TWRP, which is not good.... just boot to recovery, flash a superuser-arm-xyz.zip avaialable on androidsu.com or something, then you will get it booting. Otherwise, if you have mistakenly wiped system partition, then you are out of luck and you will have to take another desire x, root it, take backup, copy it to sdcard and then use it restore system on this phone.
Next time, read read and read more before this kind of experiments.

Yasir
PLEASE, TRY.. to read carefully sir.
i said desire x t328w is completely dead, DEAD. i cant get into recovery not even into boatloadER. nothing happens when i press power button or try to go to the boot loader. its like it has no life. only sign of life it shows is when it is connected to the charger, the orange led lits up and hence and that only thing which changes in this device.
please, if i could go to the recovery id solved this issue by my self rather than troubling you all. ive been searchinh for this kind of problem over the internet some says it cant be repaired by flashing or etc.. some says cpu is faulty etc. i dont know what wrong i did.
also i didnt flash super user via twrp
i flashed it via miui recovery
IN NO WAY I DIS RESPECT ANY DEVELOPER OR ANY USER. I'M ALREADY IN A MESS WANT A GOOD SOLUTION WHICH SHOULD WORK, RATHER THAN CHARGE YOUR DEVICE OR REPLACE THE BATTERY OR ETC.
THANKS

Did you even try the solution Infinity gave you, porting to another device is very risky and this could be the outcome.

Hmm Yep your Screwed... Looks like it's time to Buy Your Mate a New DesireX
yes, BUY A NEW PHONE (See, i didn't advise to charge battery or something.)
OnTopic:
I happened to have the same issue once on my desire bravo.... and guess what solution fixed it???? (CHARGING IT) coz its battery was SO LOW, whenever i tried to power up, it flashed leds.
Calm down and think, also can you post what you have tried ? Did you let it finish charging ? Tried plugging into pc ? Etc etc, might have to lend your mate your phone ps wtf you testing stuff on your mates phone for ? Best to use your own, if yours is the same take a backup 1st, also dont bother trying recovery go for bootloader 1st once you can get into that rest will be easier, worst case senario you will have to pay someone to fix

Thanks for your sensible answer mate. But I'm afraid you don't know maybe that i cannot access boot loader nor does my phone says a single word. Also I've being charging it for more then 10 hours. Nothing happens when connected to PC. worthless. I'm screwed and i learned a lesson that never to mess around with someone else device even if other says it 'cannot be bricked'.
Thank you all who help and also who really put me this situation.
btw now his desire x is resting at HTC, i don't know what will they say as for now i told them nothing about rooting and all other stuff i tired..

It is common problem with this phone.
Simple cure - pull out the battery and let the phone stay without charger and battery during an hour or two.
Then it will be OK again, but until next power off.
I think the problem is in custom recovery. I have the same problem with friend's phone. But it's working well without power off, so I don't want to mess with it again
Disconnect Phone from charger.
Press the Power button.
Connect the Charger while the button is pressed. Phone should start.
I've done it several times now, main reason being, battery was not having any charge.
Never mind guys it was the motherboard which was really screwed. I don't know what really caused it but the only thing I'm aware of right now is that it'll cost a lot

Yeah they're extortionate prices for HTC's, in the past I've just scrapped phones instead of getting them repaired when they have motherboard or problem relating to charger port.
