yes once rooted it voids your warranty. use nvflash to bring it back to warranty stock (;
Try at that time (when the keyboard ghosting is visible) to take a screenshot by pressing the power + home screen button. Later examine the screenshot when the ghosting isn't visible on the screen anymore. Or to be sure, see it on a PC.
This way you'll now if it's a software or hardware problem
you can't have ghosting effect with IPS LCD screen.
as far as I know, ghosting only happens to Plasma and AMOLED screens.
I agree with silentmelodies, try to screenshot & see it on your PC first.
Yes but that is on normal functioning LCD this one is messed up, screnshots are fine nothing on them, now when i enter settings i see keyboard over black area lol!
So i will send it after NY bcs i dont want to be out oh phone on holidays, basicly i need to flash it down to stock with nvflash or smartflash? On that smartflash guide thread i just see baseband flasing, when i flash rom and now? Before that using recovery mode or after that? I dont see in that steps on nvflash or smartfhasl anywerhe selecting rom...

You must use smartflash. Just go in dev section and search the dedicated thread. You just pick up the original version ROM you want and flash it.
It's not a recovery menu but a specific way of flashing. Just search and read you'll understand.
I had the same problem with my 2x ,there was some problem with the CM7 theme i guess.When reverted back to stock theme disappeared.
And btw lcd can have image persistance, i had this problem with my HTC touch pro after a good fall
Im 99% sure that this isnt software related, especially because its everything fine on ss!
But the fact the ghosting only happens to the keyboard is.. well, strange
Its not only on keyboard, but it is most visible that way! When i am in landscape mode and switch back to protrait i have clock and battery and signal bars in my bottom right corner!
I once had ghosting of the LG boot logo, which was very distracting. I think it happened after I flashed a baseband.
I got a bit worried and used NV flash to reset the phone to original firmware. That fixed the problem and I haven't had it since.
NV flash will unroot and reset your phone to original factory condition anyway, so it's worth a try. If it is still there then send it back under warranty.
edit - if you're sending it back you probably ought to run it through the LG update tool after the NV flash so it updates it to the correct firmware for your region.
OK i nvflashed it to some old froyo and update id thrue lg update tool and now im on v20l.
On first sight i tought my problem is gone, but still after texting 2 sms my keyboard is visible on my home screen backround :/
At least its stock and can send it back to warranty after NY!
What happened at the end? I have the same problem, is there a solution or should I send it to service?

Today when i use smartflash to flah a stock firmware to my lg optimus 2x everything went fine until the phones boots when it comes to the homescreen where u must setup your phone the problem is that the screen is not responding cant do anything
plz hlp me
Have you pull the battery and start again?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Yes and i have put all the eur stock firmware and its all the same my touch screen is no more touch
to be honest at least you are back to STOCK rom so you could send it back to the shop for warranty, if they ask what happen tell them you did a HARD RESET and nothing worked after that
Do the buttons work? power and the search etc???
did you try and flash the baseband and firmware at the same time?
Only the power and volume buttons work when the phone is on
Dont you think my digitizer is dead or anyting with the hardware?
i had this before... a reflash did the job. i actually thought my phone screen was dead. however im wasnt flashing official ones, i was on custom rom and i flash another custom rom and it worked. therefore your phone is probably fine if theres no problem before you flashed.
Can u explain me how u did flash a custom rom because i tried all stock rom from the list but no result!
tried all stock roms? opps, i guess theres always an exception. :x
what happened for me:
my phone was rooted (with cwm) and one day it wouldnt respond and i thought the screen was dead no matter how many times i rebooted. so i went home, dled another custom rom, flashed and it became alive.
Hi guys, i've looked up about this but could not find the relevant issue as the x8.
Im using the froyobread rom and i've recently flashed the Xperia Active Launcher.
The problem with the screen occurs, it seems couldnt sense the touch. Only the 3 bottom, volume and camera buttons works. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You should try to turn back to stock (with flashtool) and see if this problem still persists.
If it is then I guess it's a hardware problem!
Agree with above ^^ try stock rom..
My first X8 lasted 3 weeks and the touch screen died. Bottom 1/4 section of the touchscreen didnt work or acted erratic which showed up in stock test mode. Had a replacement from carrier which works fine..
1st of all thanks for the replies guys. Ive made a factory reset, wipe data and cache then flashed my backed up custom rom the one before i flashed froyobread. Its seems fine but abit out of ordinary. I'll flash the stock rom if the problem occurs again. Guess ive to find the stock rom if i need to flash it coz i think i messed up my stock rom back up. Damn i love my x8 n this happened. Thanks for the solutions guys, i appreciated it.
If you flash back to stock rom do the following key combination to bring up a service menu where you can access a touch screen test page to see if it is working properly..
Menu, Back, Back, Menu, Back, Menu, Menu, Back
Ok. Thanks terracuk. Will give it a test.
1 more thing guys... Does restoring/updating from SE Pc Companion gives me unroot? I need the warranty if i send it for repair.

You can have your warranty back if you flash the phone with flashtool..I don't think SEUS is working if you are on a Custom ROM..
Ive tried using the SE Pc Companion and it seems working. The firmware ver, kernel and build no. is back to stock. To confirm this i tried downloading Titanium back up and it cant access as the device is not rooted. Is it good to go( to the service centre)?
Thanks terracuk, ive tried the touch screen test from the service menu... And yes, it when haywired, it drew itself even im not touching the screen. [email protected]#$$%!
Guess its going to the service centre soon. Thanks for your guide bro. Thanks to u too AntwnhsAnt.
Hello all,
I attached a log file which i hope, i BEG someone can help me with.
My camera wont open, i click the camera app and the screen goes black then i get a force close message, or a message saying cannot connect to camera. Sometimes the app opens and i get the cannot connect to camera message and sometimes it just force closes with a black screen.
I am on the stock 2.3.6 rom. i have dskchked the sd card, formated the sdcard and started over, tried different camera apps.
Attempted a different rom but i cant seem to get the drivers to see it when i start in fastboot USB mode. :-(
Can anyone tell me whats up?
Thank you
I really miss camera :-(
Well, since you said you already flashed a differenct ROM to see if it would help I'm going to assume it was something you know is stable like cyanogen or a stock ROM so it should work but just in case if you haven't already I would try passimg. Now you haven't done any radio flashes lately right?? Although from what you have said I think it may be hardware failure :/
Thank you for your reply, no i havent its on the 5.08 radio i believe, its changed to the defualt stock when u OTA right? i lost the works when i did an OTA to stock 2.3.6. I have just put recovery back on. i had CM7.1 before and it wasnt working, but it was working before that on stock 2.3.6. If you can picture that timeline. I thought reverting to stock would fix it. but apparently not.
Ok well when you reverted to stock did you use passimg? if not then I would give it a shot but if that doesn't fix it then I think it's a hardware failure sorry :/
I just flashed GRI40 using recovery then OTA to 2.3.6.
Is that any different to passimg??? im not sure of the difference?
Well it's because passimg by default makes a flash to every partition so it will wipe everything and put it all back in flashing a ROM on the other hand just does the system partition.
right... sounds interesting... can i passimg over the most current version... as im on the latest now... Or will it just say its up to date?
No unfortunately the most recent passimg file is frg83 so you'll need to use that but if it works then after that you should be able to flash anything you want and have no problem. For the instructions just check my sig.
worth a shot i guess... i just apply the froyo passimg and it just instal over 2.3.6, then it will naturally OTA to the latest again...? u recon it will work? shame their arent more people confirming this... its a lot of work!
passimg solved the touch pad buttons at the bottom problem i had of them not lighting up, unfortunatly the camera is still not working

So i just updated to V20 Europe Open following this tutorial and the update seemed to go through fine, rebooted, and new firmware installed. After finally setting up the phone as i like, i let it sit to synchronize all my contacts and what not. When i pushed the power button to wake up the phone, there were these random lines over the entire screen, look like blinds.
When i do a battery pull or reboot its back to normal, but everyime i let the phone sit for a couple of minutes and then wake it up, i get the same screen..
Ive attached two screen shots
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.
I had the exact same problem, I didn't find any solution so I had to revert back to v10.
Which v20 did you install? The Portuguese one?

Use the same method that you use to roll back (LGFlash Tool) and install Euro_open V20A.
There is no difference between the euro and PT.

I tried the HK version as well, still having the issue. Do i just need to roll back to V10? Is it a software issue? How come very few people have it if all the versions are the same..?

Might just be a bad flash.
By flashing with LGFlash Tool you don't need to roll back.
Just make sure that you have official firmware, don't use leaked.
To be a hardware problem, you should have it in ICS too...

I tried 3 different routes to get V20A Euro installed, all the installs were successful but the screen issue is still there:
1. LG Flash Tool
2. KDZ_FW_UPD
3. Using LGKDZ hack and LG PC Suite
All of these successfully got V20A installed, but none solved the lines on the screen. I made sure to wipe before and after each install..
Any other ideas?
Perhaps screen is faulty ?

I had no issues when on V10H, and nothing happened to the phone during the upgrade, just remained on my desk. When i revert back to V10H i have no issues also. I tried LGFlashTool to roll back to V10H and now have LG PC Suite find and upgrade the phone on its own, will see if that makes a difference...
Thanks
I see...I ll inform a member in another forum whereas he had the same issue.

If after official upgrade doesn't work, I recommend you to take it to LG Service.

Same problem here. Not in such scale but I think it is the same. I had just bought the phone and when I did the update from the official site of LG te problem occured. I have sent the phone to service and I am waiting for it. Does anybody know if that phone has an international DOA??
Went to service, came back with the same problem. They had to replace it with a new one. I want risk to update again. Will stick with 4.0.
I just got a similar problem but much worse seen in the photo below attached my phone was working for a few weeks before this problem came as i was sat reading it, it just appeared while the screen was on. it also appears at boot and in cwm does this happen for you guys coz i think it's more a hardware problem for me.
Not sure what is causing it, but i went to 4 different repair stores, and none of them could figure it out. I sent it in for warranty, will report back what happens..
I had the same problem on my screen all the time , It's gone now for some reason, only thing i did is relocked the bootloader and unlocked it again since then it been running without any problems for almost a month now.
I remember i used the old method to unlock the bootloader , relocked it and i ran stock v20a(with locked bootloader) for like a month without any problems so i decided to try again , i used the official lg unlock method and now even on other roms it seems fine.
This bug is really annoying though hope ya'll get to fix it .
Try download an other v20 firmware, if that doesnt work, i can recommend superxe rom, its realy fast and stable.

I also think that it is a software problem because mine with the original Poland Rom 4.0 worked just fine.After one day of use I decided to upgrade to 4.1 from the original site of LG in Greece.this caused the problem.I believe that the flash caused some malfunction to the gpu.My cousin has the same exact phone for a year now but has never that problem.Maybe LG should give it a look because it seems pretty serious.

is anyone elses permanently there. since it came on on mine it has never gone off including when booting up, in cwm and whilst in software recovery from flashing original bootloader. the other thing is screenshots look fine when on my pc.
Hey guys,
a friend of mine gave me his Optimus Black. Someone installed a bricked rom on it.
It has some absolutely strange behaviour, cause the Screen doesnt respond in any logical reason.
Sometimes i manage to unlock the screen, but i cant do anything cause the 'hardware'-buttons are not recognized either.
Due to non responsive hardware buttons, i'm unable to enter any kind of recovery...
Volume control does work.
Is there any way i could possibly do sth about this problem?
Will post Screenshots or Video of the Rom later.
Thanks in Advance
Hi, maybe you can use SmartFlash tool and flash a rooted gingerbread rom with a recovery and from there, do a complete wipe then flash a new custom rom. You can refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771. Hope it helps.
Are you sure that the power button is working?
Try to push the battery cover next to the camera flash and press the power button at the same time.
If it works then its a hardware problem .
Seems like it is a Problem with The Touchscreen. Someone changed it and did something wrong, tgread can be closed
