plz help....was using Zeus v6.39n overclocked to 1100Ghz and underclocked to 200Mhz..downloaded some Lg stuff from Heuxx's blog(car home & smartshare)...rebooted my phone to flash it and it won't boot after that....tried everything, no use...then finally use smartflash and flashed to v20B....phone booted and I was installing my apps...after some time the display went off as it got locked while I was not using and now its not coming on....Iam getting calls and messages and the LED lights are blinking but the screen is blank...tried reflashing....now its not booting at all....NO LG logo also...although I can see the LED blinking...plz help
try flashing with smartflashtool again
i think it might be your lcd itself or the cable
i have alredy flashed 2-3 times....also after I remove the battery and put it back and switch it on, I can hear the sound of LG animation like when it comes in stock and the led lights are blinking normally as it happens during powering up...But the screen remains dark...
sumthing happened to ur screen then... if u still have ur warranty then bring it to them.
if it's because of the screen then they will replace it for ya
thanx....I went to the customer care...they also tried flashing(I guess)...then they told me that its not due to software but hardware problem and that they will replace and give next week

Hey, I have been given a phone off a friend to fix but it wont turn on. Booting normally, I get a vibration and then the backlight comes on but i cannot see anything. When i try to boot into the bootloader by holding the camera button and powering it on, the backlight comes on but nothing else. I cannot see the bootloader. Under both circumstances, I cannot turn the phone off. I have to pull the battery to turn it off.
Does anyone have any suggestions about a possible fix? Thanks
Havie you tried send when trying to enter bootloader? If it resets then you can still get to bootloader. If not, your friend has soft bricked and only way is to JTAG which takes strong hardware knowledge and steady hands.

ok im having the exact same problem. actually i thought it was a battery problem so i spent 77$ on a 3700 mAh new batter i guess tripple life... and got it yesterday booted gave same problems. black screen where T-Mobile should be yet the rom loads with scribble screen meaning u see part but it looks like the pixels are messed up. so actually decided to resort to what someone told me a Factory Reset so Pressing Camera + Power i got a Black Backlight screen yet wont show... and I cant turn it off without Taking out the Battery this has become a issue after installing cyanogen 5.0.7 T5... since then i Re-rom'd to superbad 1.2.5 same problem screen scribbles and stops im thinking did I fry it i dont even know how to google my problem because its pretty unique it isnt a battery issue its something in the hardware ... or am I wrong please send us some feedback... ill keep this thread in mind
Sorry, what do you mean by 'send'. I am a complete noob when it comes to G1's. I have worked out i can shut off the phone by holding call + menu + end but thats it. I still cannot see anything at all on the screen. I still only get a vibration on boot. How would I know if the boot has been sucessful but i simply cannot see?
Could the flex ribbon cable be nackered?
It started about 30mins ago, was on a call which the screen locks off when u on a call like stand by, but when ending the call the screen would turn on back no matter what. anyways i took out the battery thinking maybe the roms just buggy or the battery dead since it was on low. puttin back the battery the phone wouldnt turn on, took it out and tried again same result.
so i put it on charged nothing, gave it about 2mins charge it came on, but the boot screen with the X just had some green pixel dots all over and horizontal lines for about 3 secs then back to normal, but the phone wont boot pass that.
took out the batteries again, back in then try boot into fastboot or bootloader but nothing, just the boot screen, then the rom booted after waiting, took longer than normal. so i turned it off and try the bootloader or fastboot but it wont load just the rom, so i restarted to recovery mode from the rom it worked, turn off and try bootloader or fastloader mode they worked, now it seems all working fine, also my touchscreen is responding perfectly and the rom loading ok.
but anytime i boot the phone the bootscreen has the green pixels and lines just the same. im abit worried as i dont want things getting worse, is there anyway to fix this, is it some virus? could i just flush everything and start over???
any help would be greatful, thanks.

You guys think updating my radio from 4.06 to probably 5.08?
Almost similar with few different colors but I dropped my n1. It took me almost a day to see that the LCD was broken. Turn off the phone or screen and look in sunlight. They really were hard to notice and I showed to 4 different peoples whom all failed to notice until I showed them. Hope yours is just a minor software problem.
well i just check its not broken and it didnt fall from me so im guessing its software but im wondering if it can fix but i dont wanna flash my phone and things get worse or even brick my phone, so im asking before i try anything more.
Hi Folks,
I have been using an unlocked Captivate for 3 months. I recently flashed MIUI ROM - 1.7.8 (from Cognition) and it was working fine for a day. Suddenly, when I had put the phone on charge (power not USB), the screen turned black and the phone is not working after that.
I flashed to stock (ODIN: as mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776255) but after that the AT&T logo comes up (with the screen display very dull) and I hear the Samsung startup sound (no screen). That is all. It goes to black screen with the buttons highlighted.
If I connect it to my PC, I can browse the SD card but the screen doesn't turn on at all. I tried re-flashing to stock multiple times with no luck. Please help!

So your saying your phone actually fully boots, you just can't see it? (I would test this by calling myself) This is a problem I've never heard of.... Can you boot into recovery with a working screen? Could be a hardware problem, considering how it happened.
Hi,
I was able to call my number earlier (before flashing back to stock) but not anymore (get a busy line after the first ring). However, I get the AT&T screen (only time I see something on my screen) and the Samsung startup tone and the buttons are all highlighted. The screen is black.
Even when I did Odin, I was doing it from a black screen (the Download icon on the screen didn't show up). I never get to see anything on the screen other than the at&t logo (so not able to boot into recovery actually!).
I just hope it is not a h/w pbm. I would rather try fixing it myself (if it s/w pbm) than taking it to the store

What kind of charger were you using? Honestly, it sounds like you fried some of those beautiful innards I'm no expert, though.

It could possibly be because of the power issue (my charger model is ETA0U60JBE which supports 100-240v and I have 240v at my place so it should not ideally be a pbm). I'm just trying to see if there is some s/w fix for this situation before giving it for a h/w check.
Would this be a problem with my LED screen (though I see the at&t logo come up)? If it is, would it be some connection issue to the LED screen or a completely dead LED?
Greetings,
I'm not experienced with android devices, so i thought i'd ask here first before trying to do anything.
Since a few months ago some weird things started happening to my X8 - random display glitches and blackouts at completely random intervals (sometimes one or even two a day, sometimes it can last two or more weeks w/o an incident, i haven't figured out any relation yet).
Glitches manifest in distorted view on screen - shifted up/down/sideways - or colored graphics artefacts - up to completely bizarre patterns of random-colored pixels covering the whole screen. Weirdly enough, pushing power button as if to lock the screen usually alleviates the issue, sometimes i need to do it few times to remove completely, but it works. Touchscreen works fine, but i need to tap the "right" spot on the screen, not where it's displayed on the screen ("right" as in where the element is when the screen is not glitching).
The other issue (may be related) i'm having with the phone is random screen "blackouts" - the screen goes completely black and the power button cycling doesn't help - but the phone still reacts to screen input (i.e. i can unlock the screen by dragging the slider, launch app, start/stop music playback and so on). I can see the backlight on, so it's definitely screen/gfx hardware issue, not backlight. If i try to reboot the phone, it hangs on either shutdown or boot up. Removing the battery, placing it back and booting the phone up doesn't help - it vibrates as usual, i see the backlight go up, but screen stays black and i can't interact with the phone even if i leave it there for a few minutes (which is more than enough for it to boot up - it usually takes ~30 seconds till full boot). Also the backlight won't go off. It usually helps to boot normally if i hit the phone with a palm on the back side and/or leave it alone for a while. This issue is much more rare (only had it three times), but it puts the phone out of service for a while, so it's an issue for me.
Now, the device info:
Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 E15i
015 baseband
10W44
Unlocked bootloader
Alfs8 kernel (2.6.29.6-Alfs v08a 24/03/2012)
GingerDX v026 ROM
No cpu tweaks done, cpu governor "ONDEMAND", cpu speeds 122-600.
The glitches started when i was still using the older version, GindgerDX v013 with locked bootloader, i have done factory reset and flashed a new version with new kernel (and unlocked the loader along the way), but apparently it did not help fix the issues.
I can't provide and screenshots/photos of the issue because the only camera i have access to at most times when it happens is my phone one and, obviously, i can't use that in this case
The question is: can i still try to fix it by myself (i can do it if it doesn't involve disassembling the phone completely - i don't have the screwdrivers required) by software tweaks or other techniques or should i reflash stock kernel/rom, apply for warranty and hope they find the defect and fix it? I really do like the phone. Or, maybe, you have encountered anything resembling these issues and may shed some light on what's happening.
Appreciate any input in trying to figure out and fix this.
Thank you if you have read all this even if you can't help me, cheers!
1st problem could be 'Screen Cut' issue which is solved using kernel without FPS Cap...
2nd problem usually happens on my phone with miniCM9 3.0.2 but shows splash and boot animation...
Can you see the splash screen and the bootanimation? Because my friends' Xperia Ray has the issue on official firmware... so it could be hardware damage...
Try unlocking the screen then press the power button then press it again...
and also try flashing the stock firmware... If it doesn't work... I think you should live with it...
Sounds like a hardware problem to me. Reflash stock kernel and ROM and full wipe and then flash a different ROM and see it it still happens. If it does I think it is advisable to send it to Sony for repair.

Thanks for your replies, i'll try reflashing the stock rom and see if it still happens.
@Lily48: no, no splashcreen or boot animation, just black screen and visible backlight.
I have the same problem and I checked it many times and my conclusion is....ITS A HARDWARE PROBLEM NOT SOFTWARE..

Well, notify me if you find a solution, thanks
Sorry for double post, but this is important update:
My phone died this morning with the permanent black screen syndrome. Until i rebooted i could use it to receive phone calls or even listen to music (i knew where to touch to activate the features). However it would not boot sompletely after restart, even if i leave it for ~hour. Connecting to flashtool showed that it does boot to a certain stage, but no GUI (for user interaction with haptic feedback) available - the flashtool does show that device connected with usb debugging enabled.
I reflashed the stock ROM, now it's apparently stuck in some sort of bootloop - it keeps on connecting and disconnecting. But the screen is still black, with backlight. If i remove the battery, replace it and just connect to pc w/o trying to boot on, it acts normally as if trying to charge - backlight activates for a few seconds if i touch a key and green led is lit, but still the screen is black.
I will RMA it tomorrow, thanks for help, hopefully i'll get a new one, or they'll repair this one so it does not glitch on me again. Anyway it was/is a good phone, i absolutely love it.
Wish me luck =]

It is a hardware problem and Sony Service Center is the last option you have.. if your X8 is in warranty period.
I did the same and they replaced its display with new one.
Hello, reporting back in:
Just got my X8 back, it really was a hardware problem. They changed the screen now it works as good as new =]
Thanks everyone for support
Sorry for my bad English
Hello friends of the forum, I present my problem. I was given to repair a S3 LTE really is driving me crazy. We'll explain: the owner did filth with ROM to the point to make it unusable. Turns on, but after a while it stops and turns itself off. I tried to flash the stock, wipe system etc .. from recovery and put back the stock, but every time I turn on the phone and get to the Initial Setup (the one that says Samsung GALAXY which allows choosing the language) crashes and off. Also known that the recovery is very very slow (both TWRP that stock that cwm). I managed to flash rom 2 including Cyanogenmod but this crashes. Sometimes the poor cell can not even start that hangs on and off. I tried to replace the battery with one that I already had and the situation does not change. I wanted to try to do an update of the bootloader because I think the problem is the. Further inform you that when it crashes but is charging if I remove the battery on the phone stays on but completely locked and I can not even press the power button for 3 seconds, because it is completely freezed. Another observation I have noticed is that if I leave him in charge when switched off the led solid red, the screen shows no signs of life and if the detachment micro usb LED remains lit sign that is completely blocked even when it is charging (WHILE TURNED OFF!). I hope you can help. I tried everything
Maybe it's power button problem.Check the power On/Off .
