I recently bricked my G1 (flashed radio after SPL, silly me), and I'm considering buying one with a cracked screen. I have no problem taking and it apart and what so, but if I were to place the screen of the bricked g1 on that of the cracked one...would this work? I don't think the bricking has anything to do with the screen, but I just want to make sure with this forum before I go ahead and purchase a G1 with a cracked screen.

go for it you should be ok. dont snap them ribbons
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll purchase a G1 with a cracked screen, and I'll begin taking apart my brick right now. I just didn't want to rush anything, in case this idea doesn't work.

I have one with broken screen but it has been open (myself) but it is working no problem and its running jf 1.5 can send you pics or a short video how much are you willing to pay for it ? just want to know if it's worth selling or i should keep it as a testing device I have 2 G1
I'm hoping not to go over $50, maybe a bit over with shipping. How much are you hoping to get for it? Also what color is it? It really doesn't matter, because mine is white, and I can replace just the screen, but it's easier to replace it with the casing. Let me know, thanks.

How bricked is bricked... what did you do, and what does it do now?
90% of "Bricked" phones are not really bricked....
Read through all of the "Bricked" threads before you attempt to "Break" your phone to fix it.

Sir I'm positive my G1 is bricked. I can't get into bootloader or recovery menu, none of the button commands work except for trackball + power, which turns on the blue light at the top, and no one knows what that's for.
Like I said, I was preparing my G1 to install SuperHero V2. I flashed the radio after the SPL, thus bricking my G1. It hangs at the first G1 splash screen. I've also read through plenty of bricked threads.
Bricked
If you are stuck at the G1 screen...
Press (at the same time) the end + menu + call buttons.
without releasing them, slide your finger from the call (green phone) button to the home button. release the menu button so you are holding the home and end key, the phone should vibrate. realease all buttons and the phone should go into recovery mode.
Let me know how it goes!
Well what I did was I booted to the G1 splash screen with the red button. THen I pressed red, green, and menu, let go of green and pressed home while still holding onto red and menu, then let go of menu. Nothing happened.
I also tried booting with red, green, and menu and doing the same.
Am I doing something wrong?

naah your doing nothing wrong he's just wasting your time i've told him that his method does not work with hard bricked phones but he just won't listen now he's aggravating you and making you think your doing something wrong. after 2 hour of seeing him bug you i had to tell you this. just ignore him he'll go away.
Yeah I figured it was probably a troll. But I was willing to go for anything with this useless phone of mine. Hopefully I can get a cracked screen G1 for cheap.
Sorry, accidental double post. Mods please delete.

first time only read then instruction quckley and done it all wrong and the phone died. sent it back and go another one, tryed again and same problem.
this time i tryed to install hardspl but kept getting a white screen so look up how to get around that and got jumpspl on and then hardspl. all going fine so far, then i removed the simlock all went fine. then i installed nukespl-2.47 that started off fine then froze i left it a while to see if it would carry on, i soft reset it and that where it all went wrong and now i remember that was the same program i was using last time. now all my phone does is show a green light after i remove the battrie and power on, nothing on the screen and no lights on the keypad. i hope some one can help dont think i will get another one lol.

if this was your phone would you quit that easily?
Well, if you can still get into bootloader mode your fine. I'd reflash to the original htc rom and use a different spl, something safe like hard spl ver.1.1, never heard of anyone using nuke spl
Yes, confirm if you can get into bootloader by holding down the camera button while pushing the stylus in the reset hole. If done correctly, you should be at a tri-colored screen. Now, just flash back the original ROM and you should be set
What is NukeSPL? Never heard of it. It sounds bad. I never remember running a NukeSPL to HardSPL my Kaiser.
Never seen a Nukespl anywhere, and apparently Google either. Where did you get that from?
I don't even know the definition of "brick". Everyone (not everyone but most people) say they bricked their phone when they are simply stuck in bootloader. l
In my eyes a bricked device is one that doesn't turn on because you fried the board, resistors, capacitors, or whatever within...
sorry nuespl not nuke from this site.and no cant get into bootloder or anything just a green led on top of phone.
Just to confirm, you have a blank screen upon booting with a green light, that means it's still "alive". Getting into bootloader mode is done by holding the camera button and the power button then clicking the soft reset button on the bottom of the device, that should give you a tri colored sceen, from there, plug in the usb to your laptop or desktop and flash the official htc rom...and Never use Nuke spl Ever again, sounds like a poorly coded spl or even malware

You need to quickly learn that something meant for the TITAN will brick your KAISER!! If you look the thread is for Titan ppc so if you ran that on a Kaiser it will and did brick the phone.
Only use stuff that is developed for your particular PPC. You need to do much more reading before doing anything that can damaged your hardware.
umm from the site you showed it seems that it was meant for the Titan.. at least thats what i got from looking at the pictures and posts..
arr i have the tytn 2 thought they were the same phone. how dumb of me, so its total dead then. will have to do more reading then and wait for the 3rd phone to turn up. 3rd time lucky lol.
I had a similar experience with my Kaiser a week ago and thought it was dead, just keep trying to get it into tri colored bootloader mode by holding the power and camera buttons then holding the soft reset button, it didn't work for me the first or even tenth time before it shut down, but once I got it into bootloader and reflashed, It's alive
will try that got till monday before i can send it back.
I just want to remind people that Camera button should be fully depressed. It have two stages of pressed, Half-Press and Full-Press
I am having a terrible time getting my 8925 to boot. When I attempt to soft reset, I get a black screen, green power light comes on, usb is "not recognized" by pc. It appears to be bricked but I don't believe it actually is considering every once in a while on the soft reset, I get the att splash screen and it freezes on the next windows screen. I have tried everything and quite honestly I'm about ready to try the 1985 Nintendo method and beat the hell out of the sides of it and maybe blow in it then reboot. Before I do that, I wanted to see if maybe any of you guys could help me out. Im not quite a newbie, but also not quite an expert. Hard resetting is no good, nothing happens but the black screen, green light. Reflashing is no good as I cant even get into my bootloader.
I am using stock ATT Rom and HardSPL 1.1 by Olipro. I'm at my wit's end with this thing and any help provided would be appreciated more than you know.
P.S.: I have run countless searches before posting and nothing posted seems to work for me, the lucky one.

Then you need to use the stylus and softkeys way to hard reset. Read up on the wiki/phones manual as to how you do this as it's easy to not get it right and press the wrong keys (which will result in nothing)

I have tried every which way literally hundreds of times, still nothing...frustrating..i really like this phone and want to continue to use but honestly I'm not far from an as-is eBay auction.
p.s.: thank you for your reply
Hello guy,
After flashing new rom (official release) on my Blackstone, works fine for a month, after start the home screen being black like the phone is off but he was not. I try first hard reset from the button located next to the sim card, splash screen appears after went black again. I did not realized is a problem with the screen and I perform a hard reset (volume up+down & power up) . The phone perform the hard reset because I heard the power up sound, plus for about one minute I have the screen on, asking me to make the screen line up. During the screen line up the screen went black again and no way to see it showing something again. The problem is in active sync the phone is not recognized anymore, I can't flash it again (I try run RUU but give a error message to connect the phone) plus I'm going blind without seeing anything on the screen. My question is there is any way to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance.
Although screen is black, you should still be able to get into bootloader by normal procedure (turn off device, hold vol down & then press power on). Once in bootloader try flashing (you may wanna try returning phone to stock rom as it sounds like your screen has become loose from motherboard and needs fixed under warranty).
To return to stock rom follow guidelines at bottom of first post in this thread.
Still not working
Thank you for the quick reply, I manage to flash it again with the original rom, but nothing happen, the screen is still black. Probably as you said is something wrong with the display. Another problem is I don't have any more warranty; maybe there is a solution to solve the problem?
The Blackstone is out for less than one Year. Your should really have warranty. oO
Yes you wright but I’m 10000 km from home where who knows where the receipt is. Still hopping there is a solution, maybe I can fix it somehow. By the time I get home the waranty is gone. Thanks.
open it up, and attach the ribbon cable back in, just take your time if you need the htc touch hd service manual, i have it. if you wish to use it let me know i will post it here.
That is going to be a big help because I never open up a phone, I watch couple of times some videos on you tube but that’s all about. Anyway I have to open it because I flash it with 3 different roms and still the screen is black. Even when flashing does not showing anything on the screen. I remember for my old blackjack I had a app called My Mobile to see the screen on your desktop I install that I so the splash screen , the align the screen but I couldn’t go more taping the screen of the phone by looking to the desktop.
Thank you for your help and I waiting for the service manual.
Thanks’ one more time.
You can get the service manual here: http://htcdriver.com/index.php?page=htc-blackstone-touch-hd-service-manual

Thank you,
First I have to find a place where I can buy the tools, probably in couple of days I let you know about the evolution of the HTC operation.
You dont have the possibility to contact youre retailer and require a copy of the receipt?
Since the phone got an IMEI number, you could probably just send them the phone and they'll see that you still have warranty on it.
I'd call them before sending the phone, also.. don't forget to restore the spl etc..

It's going into recovery mode. Probably a hosed boot image.
I believe that pressing ALT-I should show the recovery menu.
ALT + L shoes Log, and then, you might want to wipe by pressing ALT + W. Maybe that'll fix it.
i wiped it and it still does the same thing... he said he dropped it in water but that usually means that the screen would turn white right?

Why would WIPING it make any difference? And why would the screen turn white by dropping it in water?
Try writing a new system image to the thing.
If that doesn't work, probably the HOME button is broken -- will need to be taken apart and replace the button.
well wiping it was the only option i could choose since the phone isnt rooted and the recovery image only wipes.. and the screens on phones go white or wont even turn on at all if theres water damage ive witnessed it happen about 3 times on 3 different phones

Keep the hell away from my phone -- you're obviously very dangerous.
And no, if a phone gets shorted out, the most likely thing to happen is for the screen to go BLANK.
Hi all,
I woke up this morning and my note's screen hasn't been working. I didn't drop it or spill anything on it, it just doesn't turn on. I know the phone is on because i can hear and see the capacitive buttons light up when i touch them. Does this mean i need to replace the Super AMOLED/digitizer unit?
The only thing i can see is the white Samsung logo (very faintly at that) when its booting up.
I found a site that sells replacement units but i don't want to buy it unless i have to.
I need some advice.

Hey thanks for the reply. But i my phone is not even rooted. it was working fine last night.. the only thing i did different was i didn't charge it over night. So i thought at first it was a battery issue. I'm so sad... lol
sounds like the backlight is burnt out... unfortunately this is not something that can be replaced itself... the digitizer/lcd will need replaced. now is the fun part... either find the country your note is made for and mail it to the warranty dept, or have it fixed by a reputable repair shop out of warranty...
No need to have root, to go to stock recovery
Just switch off device, keep holding vol up + Home + Power
when light turns, release power button, but keep holding other two.
If you able to enter in recovery, N can read on screen, means screen is intact.
wipe cache, wipe data
N still error remains, flash Stock ROM
