So I'm watching =3 on the youtube app on my atrix (alien rom) and the screen starts having these purple lines.
I cut out of the application to the home screen (desktop what ever its called) and the lines are exagerated.
I try locking the screen and unlocking and now its black.
Pull battery reboot, everything lights up I hear noises but the screen stays back
I took it apart (sim and all) because i noticed it was overheating and am now just letting it cool down.
any ideas ?
Also the phone seems to constantly boot when connected to any power source regardless of the battery being in
So I purchased he phone fairly recently and although the firmware was modified i was thinking about just taking it to AT&T and trying to have them replace it.
Since they can't actually use the phone to tell if it was modified

As long as there is no unlock in the upper left corner which I'm guessing there isn't with the screen totally blank then you should be alright when you take it in for a exchange but >,> if you wanna mess with it a lil try the methods to get it to fast boot and see if you can try some of the commands to tell how far along is it most likely it isn't anything to do with the system as is and is a screen malfunction possibly due to the heat. to wipe your data simply use the "fastboot -w" command then try rebooting just to see if it is in fact the screen.
Did you have it overclocked?
If "Yes", did you have profiles set up agains overheating?

Nope, I actually had it setup to clock between 600 and 700 mhz to control heat but promote preformance

I take it back to AT&T and now has the ICS installed in it.
Anyone knows how to extract it out?

Are you being serious or trolling? This happened to a guy on a different device forum. They managed to get the firmware and shared it.

all the sudden i have no display it is blank everything else works meaning i can call my phone it rings even though i have no display if i slide my finger to unlock the ring i can answer all calls i change the display today along with the digitizer but still have no display what else could be bad
Maybe the motherboard? I'd take it to the Sprint store (or whoever your carrier is) for repairs.

If its not the hardware, it can be the kernel problem. Do you see anything in your bootloader (vol down + power while phone is off)?

no it is all black only the bottom light are on is the there a way i can get into it using sdk even thought display is black.??? thanks
Remove and reinsert the battery then try to boot into bootloader and see If screen lights up. You might have fastboot turned on.

I've heard the cables in the 3d are very tiny. Maybe the cable that connects the motherboard to the display is broken or has a broken pin.

You could always try going back to stock. If you are s-on, bout the phone into fastboot, connect to pc, relock the bootloader and run the ruu.exe. You'll have to HTC unlock again. If you're s-off, just run the ruu. You'll keep s-off, but be completely stock otherwise.

i'm s-off but if the screen is black how do i put it in fastboot.?? with sdk.?? if so what commands do i need to run to do what you are saying i do have a copy of the original stock rom and i do want to stay s-off
If you don't have a light at all(even the "black" one), I suggest to take your phone to service because if that is kernel problem, you would have a bit of light. If that is not possible, open your phone and check if there are any irregularities. If you dropped your phone, cable could detach from motherboard. It is not hard to disassemble..you can find youtube video.

You can use adb. With the phone hooked up to the computer, at the command prompt, type adb reboot bootloader.

Unless he's made a habit of dropping his phone in the exact same way, I very much doubt that would help.
If it were a kernel issue your boot loader would have worked all the same (boot loader loads the kernel and is independent of it)
As it's not the screen itself and not a software problem it's probably either the GPU being fried or some other piece of electronics between it and the screen connector ( maybe even the connector itself). As far as I know the "fix" for this is replacing the motherboard or the entire phone. As you've opened the phone I'm going to assume you're not under warranty in which case either repair option is quite expensive... a new PCB is generally over 50% of the phone's value and will most often prevent you from ever unlocking the phone via htcdev;
I am facing a problem with my touch, a track right in the middle of the screen is not working, however when I connect my atrix to PC in this fault track back to work. I don't find a other person with the same problem. Would help the people of the forum to diagnose my problem, because I don't want to unlock the bootloader unless it is the only solution. I've wiped the cache, and the next attempt will be PDSfix, but do not want to unlock the bootloader. According to the description of the problem is software or hardware?
Thanks

I have the same issue as you, but my issue takes up the top half of the screen.
You have 5 options at this point.
1. Deal with it. most likely not what you want to do unless you have to
2. Unlock and pds fix. There's no harm in unlocking unless you totally don't read the instructions and do as it says.
3. Try the home made fix. Its just a matter of finding the right spot to place the piece of cardboard.
4. Replace digitizer
5. Replace device with new Atrix 4G or other device

So last night I updated twrp to 2.6.3.0. After updating, I flashed carbons latest rom. Everything went smoothly until it booted. Once it booted up, I noticed I did not have any signal. So I went back into twrp and restored my beans 22 rom. Booted back up and still no service. When I go to the mobile network in settings and try to switch it to lte/cdma, it just searches for lte signal for a few minutes and then a pop up that tells me to switch to global mode pops up. Any ideas on whats going on???
Oh..I also noticed that my bluetooth wont turn on on my phone as well.

You flashed Carbon for another carrier (T-mobile or AT&T), which changed your baseband radio and now you can't access the Verizon network. Odin back to bone stock and you should be good.
Lessons of the day:
1. ALWAYS verify what you downloaded and are about to flash before swiping "do it" in twrp
2. ALWAYS make a nandroid before flashing anything, including mods
The carbon I downloaded was for my phone. I'm gonna try to go back to stock and see if it helps. Thanks everyone for the help!!

I would go with the other guy and say odin back to stock. At least this way you can be sure all your software is as it would be when you take the phone out of the box for the first time. Look into hardware problems from there.

take your sim out and see if the problem with the screen goes away. I don't see why they would be related, but stranger things have happened.

Yeah probably;. try taking out the sd card as well. if that isn't it, it might be time to think about getting a new phone lol. You are probably still under factory warranty.
It's not the sim or the sdcard.... It's the files which are missing and causing trouble

Can you point me in the right direction on where to the missing files and how to install them. Thanks in advance!!
Device: 1800 (US) 1/8GB
ROM/Firmware version:20140115+EnSec
Baseband: Moly.WR8.w1313.md.wg.mp.v4.p1.2013/11/09 14:19
Changes made to stock firmware (if any): Installed EnSec
Does not detect Sim
Steps Taken
1. Unscrewed side.
2. Placed T-mobile Sim face down, cropped corner on the left.
3. Replaced side.
4. Booted up.
Shows the X next to the signal. No different than before. Anyone have any ideas?
