My phone was working fine earlier, sent a text off, went to write another one, pressed the search button by accident and then the screen froze, wouldnt respond to any touch at all. Tried turning the screen on and off for a bit, volume was still working etc, in the end pulled the battery. Phone restarted, managed to get it to the normal lock screen (where it had my alarm/activities for the day displayed) but again, unresponsive to touch. Pulled again a few times and the same thing happened so I decided to leave it, figured maybe the heat/humidity here (on holiday in India) had wreaked havoc with some component.
Anyways, restarted again 30 minutes later and this time couldn't get past the windows phone screen -as soon as that loaded, it reset the phone and got stuck in a neverending loop. Held up and down together and got to the screen I think is called SPL (never bothered with any of the rooting stuff)
However, the TOUCH simply says "TOUCH NONE". So obviously theres a problem there. Everything else is the same.
I tried disabling/enabling the HTC log/modem bridge but that didn't help and did a reboot and factory reset a few times but that didn't help either. Now Ive got the device hooked up to my laptop, changed from serial to USB but I don't know what (if anything) I can do in this state?
I tried earlier holding down to put it into zune mode, it completed restoring the version but then as the zune software restarted the phone, it went back into the endless cycle - the zune software was still waiting for it to reconnect again to complete the process, but obviously I couldn't get it that far.

Hold down the volume up and volume down at the same time while hitting the power once you see the white screen you can let go of the power; in green lettering you're going to see the SPL, for most of us its 2.05.160023. This is the bootloader screen, everything there is done by the volume toggle, no touch screen here. Your phone is stock which means you won't be flashing like we customized folks do so let's start with the SPL, what is it and by some chance is it HSPL'd?

berrywr, TOUCH NONE on SPL screen means either corrupted touch driver or dead touch screen.

Hi,
Juts soft rebooted my Tytn, and its not stuck on the initial boot screen (the four coloured bars).
Done a hard reset back to fatory defaults and still won boot past initial coloured screen. It says:
HERM300
IPL-1.04
SPL-1.40.Olipro
Serial
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ants
have your tried taking the battery out and leaving it out for ten minutes then putting it back in and switching it on? IF you are still on the triolour bootscreen then you will just have to run a flash of a rom on it. That should get the phone back up and running
If you get it running though, do yourself a favour and install Hard SPL V7... You're running an older, less safe version. More chance for stuff ups...
Very odd
Hmm, well leaving the battery out for for a couple of minutes then rebooting makes it boot properley, but if I soft reset then it gets stuck at the coloured bars again unitl the battery is removed for a couple of minutes again.
I guess I will have to try flashing it later, but at least I have the phone running again so I can use it today, wil try flashing later.
thanks.
Ants
Didnt last long
got stuck at the coloured sceen again no matter how long I left the battery out now, just flashed the ROM again (schaps, same as I have been using for a year OK), and still same problem. I cant update the SPL as even on the odd occasion I got it to boot, installing spl2.10 requires a reboot at which point it got stuck again, and I couldnt get it to boot before the SPL loader program on the PC timed out with a comms error.
I am wondering if it is an intermittent hardware fault like a stuck button, would that cause it to get stuck on the first screen?
Ants
bugger!
just opened it up and a switch fell out, its the one from the comms button (just below the power button on the right hand side). Not sure my SMD soldering is that good to get it soldered back on again, must have hit it somehow or a previous drop and its just finally worked loose etc.
Although I find it har to believe that a switch would cause boot to fail, surley it just doesnt make a connection if its missing, just as if it wasnt depressed?

So I just got done configuring chompSMS. Disabled notifications on the built in SMS app. Did a battery pull and got this screen and haven't been able to get out of it. Held down home & power and got a user memory wipe screen. Figure I'd give that a shot. Still stuck on the FASTBOOT screen and now have to redo the whole thing if I manage to get out of this screen.
Anyone else see this? Not much out there about Sprint's Hero, but there's a bit about Orange's Hero, rooting, flashing rom's and all that fun stuff. Nothing about getting it back to normal though.
and to add....after letting it sit connected to usb for a bit, the screen finally went dark but now won't turn back on. Really odd.
hmm im kinda new to android, but if your stuck in fastboot cant you use the devkit to push a new recovery image like RA 1.2.3 and flash ?
i might be wrong tough
I'm brand spanking new to Android. Haven't dealt with sdk's andn loading rom's in ages and don't have the time to figure it out. Thought there might be some hard reset button combo that I was missing or something. Just heading to the Sprint store now with box in hand to have them switch it out or activate my Treo Pro again. Kinda need the phone for work and don't have a home phone so downtime is not a good thing.

he won't be able to push that to do ADB tricks, nor do fastboot flashing with img files
Goldcard doesn't help as well
I hv got a G1 in same situation after pulling out the battery.
Stucked at first splash screen on next boot.
I assume that is a rom / system problem so I tried to boot into recovery but still freeze on 1st splash screen.
I tried to figure out the problem and I'd try to connect by usb and tried adb logcat but only waiting device return. And yep the screen goes black ( but still on ) likely in this situation.
And yea SPL enter was successful but can't connect to fastboot so no recovery can flash.
I notify the phone (seemingly) won't be able to charge as the notification do not turn on, or it does charge but problem with notification light (?), probably it is more likely a hardware problem due to removing the battery. Recently I take the G1 to a shop to figure out is that a hardware failure.
I'm all for troubleshooting and playing around with ROMs, but there's times when I just need to be up and running and have opted not to screw around with something I depend on for work. There's other toys to "play" with.
So after a way too long stay at the Sprint store I have a new Hero that's up and running just fine.
Wanted to say it was something I installed, but everything seemed to be approved by the masses as working well. Maybe it was something with the battery pull. I'm surprised no one has made a soft reset widget. Seems kinda basic coming from 13yrs of PalmOS and a bit of winMob.

download sprint RUU and run it, it will wipe your phone, but it will work agian
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release.exe
thanks for that. Will keep that handy for next time or if I ever play around with it. I think I'm going to the Moment though when it hits next month. Better screen, processor and keyboard will be doing it for me.
fixing any android stuck in fastboot
If your stuck in fast boot this is what you do.
1. Remove the micro sd card and somehow connect it to your computer.
2. Download a rom that is made for your phone and put it in a easily accessible folder on the micro sd.
3. Reinsert the sd card in the phone and reboot, once in fast boot go to hboot.
4. After going into hboot select recovery.
5. After this is done you must go to "install zip from sd card" and choose the rom that you have downloaded, select install and wait until the installation is complete, if unsuccessful redownload and try the whole process again, if unsuccessful the second time try downloading another rom.
If you have any questions please personal message me so i can help you.

Btw i had a HTC hero and had this problem many times and this had worked every time.
I have a similar situation
when i power on the phone it goes straight to fastboot mode.
I Checked volume keys and are not stuck.
If I connect phone via usb and run:
fastboot reboot
the phone will load normally the android OS and will work just fine until you power it off again.
\
I dismantled the phone just to be sure there is no hardware issues, I tried to power on the phone without the home button connected to the board and the phone will load the android OS without any issue.
I dismantled the button itself, it has some sort of touch IC inside and a normal key button downside.
I could not notice any dust or water tracks in the button, so
at this point and dont know where to go...
I dont have another button just to be sure if it is the button itself or a board issue.

People still use the Hero? There are so many better phones you can buy for dirt cheap. Heck, I got the Evo LTE for $80 on Craigslist. Even the Evo Shift, Design and 3D can be had cheap. I'd dump the Hero without blinking.
Hi. The phone application was not functioning well and the F/C dialog showed up. I powered off the phone and from that point, the phone won't turn on.
The battery was fully charged before this happened.
When I press the power button, the phone vibrates for half a second, the screen brightens up but does not show anything but a black screen.
I removed SIM and SD cards, removed the battery and performed the above steps but nothing happened.
I also tried to put on the charger to see what's going on. Once I plug the charger, the phone's screen brightens but shows only blank (even without pressing the power button)
When connected to the charger, the green light for charging is on for some minutes, then goes off automatically.
I tried to connect it to the PC, and PC Companion finds the device as usually. It even shows the dialog on the pc screen to mount the device.
I tried a hard reset, but does not work
On some point, the sony logo appeared and then a dialog saying: "sorry process system is not responding". The first time I pressed Force Close and the phone turned off. Immediately after that, the phone turned on and showed the exact message. I pressed "Wait" but nothing happened in the next 15 minutes.
I called Sony's support center and they suggested a software update. Did the process exactly as it should, but again, even after the software update the screen shows nothing but black. It is all the time brightened for some reason.
I tried to turn off the phone for some time by removing the battery, but as soon as I put the battery back on, the phone's screen brightens and stays that way forever.
The phone was functioning perfectly up until this issue. The only application I had installed apart from some games, was AWDLauncher. On the screen I had only a TASK widget and a battery status widget.
The phone is 3 months old and has been always in perfect condition.
ANY help would be appreciated!!!!
Many Thanks

I tried the steps found in the link you gave me, but I couldn't go any further after step no (5) from the tutorial, as it would require to enable Debugging mode and I cannot access the OS (since the device won't turn on).
Is there a way to format all the contents of the device and have them replaced by running SEUS (as it always says that my device is up to date now)?
Was it this:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
That Sony Ericsson told you to do?
If not, use that.
Download it, follow the steps when it says you have the latest version, press "Install Anyway".
Hope this works.
Hi itTim. thanks for the response
this is what i did but no improvement at all ((
Sounds like you broke your LCD screen somehow.
That would suck because I broke mine and it cost me $200 to fix.
Hi Hypercore.
Yes that could be the problem. The thing is that I always took rally good care of the phone, always carried in a leather pouch and never droped it. How sensitive is this lcd anyway?? Did you notice any cracks on your lcd or was the problem simillar to mine?
Thanks
When you turn on the phone does the lcd backlight turn on?
If so, look for any faint lines of color (usually a hairline size). If you see any of those then your screen is cracked.
the backlight is on, but there are no lines of colour on the lcd screen.
another weird thing is that the green light on the top blinks one or two times every time i put on the battery. even if the phone is off, once I insert the battery turns on automatically after a couple of seconds.

I had almost the same issue. Nothing worked. But, when I removed the battery and left it for a day (24h) without it, it just started working again. Still working without issues..
Good luck!

Phones are very wierd pieces of technology. I once bricked my k610i and that's a phone that's supposed to be impossible to un-brick, but out of nowhere a month or so later i picked it up, hit power and it turned on perfectly. Made no sense at all, but it worked.
Taking the battery out for a long time probably took all the electrical charges from it (kind of like how a computer power supply / monitor can hold power charges) and reset your handset.

if you have done this and did not worked , then it is the LCD.
send it to workshop and check it there.
Guys i Really need the solve of this problem , my xperia has blank screen now without backlight and the phone completely doesn't work . when i put the battery and prees the switch botton it gives me 3 red signals , i've updated and hard reset but it didn't work , and btw the LCD is fine , any idea. did removing the battery worked???? . please answer
After a looooot of time since my latest post, finally my Xperia came back to life. There was a battery failure which means the phone was ok all the time. Weird thing is that the led light showed that the battery was charging ok. I removed the battery and after a lot of time it is working ok again. This was really really odd.
FYI for anyone else that gets this issue.
I just had this for the past hour after trying to change my baseband....could not get it back for anything.
What I did finally try was run another baseband via flash tool, connected to usb and it started flashing....after flash phone powered on again...yeah I agree with everyone, that is freaking scary when it happens.
hey guys
had an issue today, traded a desire for a HD2 as i really wanted to go back to winmo (crazy most people will think)
Now when i revieved the phone i turned it on everything seemed fine for about 20 mins (note i never used the phone apart from make a call to test)
by the time i had left after a good chat, i checked the phone back at work at it was turned off, i plugged in the charger, the little notification came on and i left it to charge, an hour later after a meeting i turned on the phone, it booted into windows and then after loading sense it crashed and restarted then got stuck on the splash screen
numerous battery pulls and the same issues, gets into windows doesnt load sense, freezes and blank screen, when i battery pull and turn on 90% stuck on the splash screen
installed a rom from the memory card (stock) worked for 10 minutes same issue
any ideas?
do you reckon iv been given a knackered phone?
anyone? iv managed to get it to boot, but after around 10 minutes, it just turns itself back on, pauses at the htc screen, then reboots again and gets into windows, then 10 minutes later does the same, i flashed to the most recent wwe firmware from htc, after it managed to stay on long enough to sync to the pc
im stumped

Had similar issue with my phone, random reboots after phone was working for a bit, stuck on bootscreen without displaying radio, partitions etc.
Called HTC, was a hardware issue obviously, the sent me a new replacement phon (warranty).
if you have HSPL
1. Task 29
2. when stuck in blank screen - pull battery out
3. bootloader
4. connect back to pc via usb
5. flash any stock ROM (not the latest 3.14 as it will change your HSPL)
Got my h901 14 months ago. It's rooted, and the bootloader is unlocked; and, aside from the documented battery-life issues, its been a terrific smartphone for me.
This evening, it started bootlooping. I was able to get into the menu long enough to go into TWRP, and do a factory reset. It booted up alright, and started to re-load Android. Partway through the process, the screen turned black. Couldn't get it to come back with double tapping/ tried holding down the Power button to get the power menu...no luck there/pulled the battery, and held the Power button until it started up. However, it went past the LG splash screen to the 'Your device software can't be check for corruption' screen. It hangs at that screen...and, after about 60 seconds, turns off.
I did the manual boot into Recovery, and got to the 'Factory data reset' screen. When it asked me 'Delete all user data...' on two consecutive screens, I answered 'yes' both times (using the volume buttons for up/down, and the power button to execute). After that, it went back to the 'Your device software can't be check for corruption' screen. It hangs at that screen...and, after about 60 seconds, turns off.
Is the phone bricked, fried or something else un-fixable? I have the full insurance/coverage from T-Mobile...so, I can get it replaced. But, I'd rather fix it myself, if this is possible.
Thanks, in advance for your help!

Replace it if you can.Especially if you have all your data backed up.The V10's days are numbered, i assume from the symptoms your listed that your phone is gone into the dreaded bootloop.It's hardware failure! The fact that it suddenly shut off, booted part way and suddenly died only to keep crashing at the warning screen leads me to think it is indeed done. you can confirm if it is a hardware failure by putting the phone in the freezer for 15-20 min.If it boots and works for a while and shuts off (confirmed hardware failure).Even if it does end up working, its better to just get a replacement better yet a more reliable phone.As i said all V10's have their days numbered
same thing happen to me today :/ anyway to fix this?
