Capacitive Buttons not lighting up, ever - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

My capacitive buttons are not lighting up, I noticed the other day when I was fumbling around in the dark and could no longer easily locate the back button vs the menu button, not sure how long they have been this way.
Anyone else experiencing this? I played around with this phone and rooted and unlocked and tried other roms and eventually went back to the factory Telstra ROM months ago and I only recently noticed the buttons not lighting up, I am 100% sure they were still working when I went back to the Telstra ROM, my phone is no longer rooted, it is however S-off still.
Is anyone else experiencing this, is it a fault or a software thing, is it worth re S-on-ing the device and doing a warranty claim on it?

Please do not post Q&A in the general section.

I had to return my Vivid but forgot to re s-on, but the employee at the store asked what was wrong and did not check the bootloader etc. Most employees couldn't tell if u were rooted or not ( most don't know what a bootloader is yet alone know where to look.)

It may be something with the light sensors...they typically only light up when its dark...so if there was something shining in the sensor or the sensor just wasn't communicating properly/not working properly then that could've been preventing them to light up

Is this a new one?

So about a week ago I tried to flash the alpha honeycomb rom. Played around with it a bit, but since Im in India I need my Tab to make calls via wifi back to the states, so I restored back to just before the flash. Then I saw there was a new build of Koush's kernal so I flashed that. About 3 days ago I started getting a weird wifi modem error and I would have to reboot to get wifi back. I just thought at first it was because the internet at my hotel isnt exactly amazing, and maybe i was building up a cache somehow? Honestly didnt really have a clue, but I didnt really care. Last night it got strange tho, I suddenly only had .90 mb of internal storage. I couldnt do anything because i had 0 space. So I deleted a few apps as fast as I could and used titanium to move everything else to the SD. I rebooted into cwm and wiped the cache, dalvik cahce, and even factory reset to no avail. then I downloaded the newest Koush rom thinking that if I just flashed another rom Id be fine because it would repartition and start fresh. Apparently not so much. I just bootlooped at the Verizon screen somehow. So again, thinking i knew what I was doing, tried to restore. Nooooothing again. Then I had to go to work so I got a buddys laptop and rebooted into download mode, installed heimdall on the pc and proceeded to try to flash the stock files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955342&highlight=vzw ... thought all would be well, but I got an error saying descriptor not found. So i reinstalled the driver thinking that was the error I got. Tried again and got an error -12. So i unplugged to see if I could do aaannnything in cwm... and my screen did this... has anyone seen this or know how screwed I am?? Im in Mumbai for 12 more days and I think Ive had the tab for about 2.5-3 months so far... kinda screwed huh?
Don't worry!

state I am using the Tab to browse through the forum
If u using GSM tab, I think I can help
Your case seem the stock rom u mentioned is not a full set rom with modem and phone, try to unzip the rom,is there dbdata.rfs? the icon only mean software brick which will back to life easily.
sadly im using cdma
Dude calm down. Thats an alternative download mode. Find a cdma stock firmware that you had search around for it. follow the guide of reflashing and you should be up and running again
Have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
This is the one that worked for me. Good luck!
So why have you posted in this forum?
The "non forum mod" mod strikes again... In his usual manner.

so I made an attempt to flash the stock files. Hiemdall said it worked, but the progress bar on the tab never went past about halfway, overnight. Now it wont show that download screen unless its plugged into a power source and it turns itself off randomly then immediately turns back on into the download screen and does that process repeatedly. If I plug into the pc it is unresponsive and then turns off after a few min WTF did I dooooo?!?!

If you plug into a power source, without trying to turn your Tab on, do you get a battery icon?
Sounds like your battery is dead, in which case, if you can get it to charge you may yet be able to reflash...
Try letting it charge for at least a few hours and then take another crack at flashing.

Because im sick of seeing non-dev posts in the dev section. Its irritating to see and baffling how anybody could not have enough common sense to realise that posting stuff like this in here is wrong, We have a Q&A and Gen forum for that.
Because there doesn't seem to be any active Tab mods here to move/move, the only way make the users who make the posts in here aware is to tell them. If they are not made aware they will post their next topic here.
If nobody else is prepared to make them aware and to try and cut the crap down, I will, and don't care what you think.
when i had the origional error that you had it was because i tried flashing a kernel via heimdell on a virtual machine. i had the same screen, when i got to work the next day with a laptop that was windows i just booted into download mode and flashed a working kernel and it booted right up.

I agree that the forums need clearing. But you ploughing into every single misplaced thread isn't going to help.
You do realise you can tell the op that this isn't the right forum AND help them and point them in the right direction. Doesn't sound too hard right? Maybe try it sometime.

And I do!
The point is that the help/advice had already been given on this one but nobody made the Op aware that he/she had posted in wrong place so would have likely done same again next time.
If nobody tells them how will they know? (apart from the obvious, ie reading forum titles.)

I posted here because in other forums the general is mostly for those who have not rooted, and also have not flashed. In most cases people that know what theyre doing tend to only frequent the Dev sections, between that and the fact that all of my issues came from posts in the Dev section I thought this would be the correct place for it. apparently I am wrong, and sooo thankful that someone as heroic as yourself has stepped up to do away useless threads since we obviously have a space limit in our forum. wouldnt want to bog down our servers with my useless post of course...
regardless of the flaming and trolling... im still screwed, my post isnt moving and i will continue to ask those that know for help. thanks for the advice though, ill take it into consideration for my next post... now run along...
I have charged for about 9 hours now and still nothing could i have fried it somehow? If I bring it to verizon in the state its in, is there anyway for them to tell i flashed it? or will they just assume i did since it is pretty much in a state of brickiness as far as i can tell...
TIA and thanks to those whos British bigotry hasnt stood in the way of reading my post and attempting to lend a hand... where i come from the main purpose of a forum is to ask those who know for help and share the knowledge weve attained...
and im not getting a battery icon when i plug in, just the flashing on and off of the alternate download screen
thanks again
Ok to put this at rest coz its getting irritating. You are active old users. And you believe that tab needs more forum modding. I dunno what are the rules but when applying for a mod positions open apply or root for a candidate like yourself or nautious or bytork or anyone.
As for op does your tab get identified by your computer in odin or heimdell? As i said thats an alternate download mode. If computer identifies it. You can get a shot at flashing. Do it via a windows computer please. If tab is fried beyond repair which i doubt verizon will never know you flashed unless you tell them of course
sadly as of now the tab isnt read by the comp and i cant keep it in the download mode unless its plugged in

[Q] Phone bricked?

hey guys i searched and havent really found anything that matched quite what i had going on so here we go... I was 95 percent through flashing the ICS rom it got through the hboot section and rebooted.. on the screen i saw two arrows in circular form above a phone .. and something was definitely being downloaded.. then the phone went black, doesnt go into hboot, doesnt a charging light when plugged in , but is picked up by the computer, ie. connection noise. Im in no way a noob at flashing roms , but something is definitely wrong with my phone.. Any ideas? It was charged full battery by the way.. it does glow in a dull light when i push volume down and power, or power alone...
Your phone indeed seems to be bricked. The identification noise from the computer may just mean that your USB is receiving power from the battery.
When my friend had a similar problem with his Amaze, he went to the HTC service center and they replaced his phone after keeping it for 4 days
So taking it to bestbuy to get it serviced is probably the only alternative, since its insured through them... lol just my luck

That's not fair to say. There's plenty of users that flashed without bricking their devices.
I followed the alternate directions here and had no issues.

I'm not the only one with a brick device, there's plenty more on here. Our phone is a pretty expensive device if you got the money and you want to take the risk go ahead. Why would I tell anyone to flash when is not safe to.

Not sure why you keep posting it's not safe. I think I've seen like 3 people who've screwed it up out of probably 100+ installs. PirateGhost has released an ICS RUU which is completely noob proof so even unrooted users can get some ICS love before the OTA update.
As far as im concerned each one of us is responsible for what happens to our phones, warnings are put for a reason.. ive jailbroken, rooted the hardest of phones .. it was just my time for the inevitable to happen. I get my phone back in three days and you can be sure ill be back here again doing crazy rooty stuff to my phone no rom or dev should be held responsible for what ive done ..

Saying something is noob proof will inevitably prove that some where some noob will sow its not noob proof. I'll admit there were a few moments of panic when I flashed the zip method pg released. When that happened I just breathed deep and took my time and everything worked great in the end. I personally feel that what the devs have put out there is fairly safe as long as the directions are followed exactly.

I don't have the money to buy tons of new devices....its about knowing ur own limitations...do not criticise a devs hard work when it is proven to work...no its defenitly not idiot proof but it is very easy...I've done it to 3 phones already with no problems...the devs are not responsible for bricked phones
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
yea i must say it was a hundreed percent my fault in bricking my device so im not mad at anyone..and as far as the money goes its not a super big deal..i always make more o and btw im gonna be getting my replacement today and im gonna try this all again aft6er reading everything again and again and agian o and again lol
So, the phone is bricked. I have the same problem as the OP. I Lost access to Hboot while flashing ICS. I accidently sent it to recovery after Hboot update...and it never recovered LOL. Anyone know a good de-bricking service or know how much it will cost if I send it back to HTC or AT&t to fix it? I bought mine at the AT&T store, so no protection plan. I'm gonna get another device anyway (from Best Buy this time), but it would be great to have the Vivid back as a backup.
I bricked my phone Sunday night, still not 100% sure what I did wrong but it did what yours is doing now. I simply called the AT&T exchange by mail and used the factory warranty. Granted I guess there is a slight chance they could find out it was rooted (if they can somehow get it to recover or even turn on) but it got me a replacement... Food for thought.
Btw I got the new one and used the RUU and it worked seamlessly.

I did the same thing, selected recovery right after successful HBoot update. Then afterwards, each and every restart shows searching sd card with a black background. After several attempts of pulling battery, reinsert and power button + vol down, I was able to get back into HBoot. From there I immediately flash recovery through fastboot and now am happily on ICS.
If you did the same and phone boots up with the searching sd screen, there is a shot of bring it back.

Fraid it doesn't search for anything. I posted in the threads and tried everything I could think of and everything that was suggested. Though there isn't much you can do besides keep removing the battery and trying vol dn + pwr. Just a black screen.
Just a few things I tried (removed battery each time)- vol down + power (no sd card in) = blank black screen
vol down + power (with sd card and PH39IMG file) = blank black screen
vol down + power > boots to blank black screen, wait few seconds > press power button (like I'm going to fastboot) > plug into computer > type fastboot command into command prompt = command prompt says waiting for device
I always read the directions and threads a bunch of times before doing anything. Did lots of reading, google-ing, and searching. Fraid it bit the dust. I appreciate the help though. This is the first device snafu I've had. I've never had to send a phone in for any kind of warrantee work before. Hence my question above about getting it fixed.
Just in case, if it were to boot to that screen, what would I want to do? Just the PH39IMG? Or is there some other procedure?

Who TOLD you to flash the phone??? When I got my first android phone, a Samsung Fascinate, I LOVED the phone but nervous AS HELL that I would brick the phone. And I read, and read, and REREAD, trying to make sure I understood everything so that when I went looking for help, I at least could say, "Yes, I already tried this, this, and this".
I think the key thing to all of this is in two-fold - one, as someone stated before, this is a developer's forum. If you work on your car, and forgot to put oil in it, are you going to blame your mechanic? If you change your brakes and did not do something correctly, causing an accident, are you going to blame the car manufacturer??? Two, it states in MANY places, before you post, READ, READ, READ. It was actually ADVISED to NOT FLASH this ROM...
From this point forward, it almost seems as if there needs to be a waiver release to download roms, stating you will not ridicule nor torment the developers. And though I had heard about it but never seen it before, as I am on my 4th Android phone, there definitely are a few VERY NOTICEABLE disrespectful and ungrateful individuals in this forum. If you were my kid, and acted like that to me for something I GAVE YOU, I would do the same as PG - TAKE IT WAY and forget you.

Hi,
your answer is here!. Seems to be a hardware short circuit.
maybe putting your open device close to a warm source to dry it will give you 15.031969% to save it...
Else, I fear you need Samsung service..
I don't mean to be rude but why did you open a thread here on XDA about this?
This site is for mobile phone/tablet development.
You have bought a faulty device, it happens.
You need to take it back for a replacement, simple.
I hope you get it sorted! It's never nice buying something and it not working properly.

i believe it got something to do with calibration or something related to software
as phone was flashed earlier and it might be something to do with flashing
i was thinking of writing NV calibration data from another phone to see if that may help, but thought of getting more ideas first.

Oh right, fair enough then. I thought it was brand new and you'd just taken it out of the box.

as good as new, only a few days used, sending it back would be costly

"Stock" For Sprint Techs

Ok guys, the purple tint camera issue is killing me. As always, last I went weeks ago... They blamed root. Is this plan here possible so I won't have to unroot and remove s-off.
1. Flash the hex edited hboot that says "locked" and "s-on"
2. Flash one of the stock roms from either viper or indirect, but remove superuser!
3. Flash a stock recovery
Do you think it'll work?

Sprint tech here. The techs you're talking to are idiots. Our M&P officially states that we support rooted phones. Worst case scenario, they will have to RUU the phone for you. After they've done that, the issue will still be present and they'll have to order a new one for you. Go back and insist that they do their job.

I thought that had been Sprint's policy for a long time. But I took my rooted LG in the spring for a problem with the speaker and the first tech 'flagged' my phone in Sprint's system. I even took it back home and set it back to stock. But after it was flagged I was forced to upgrade or replace it though Asurion because nobody would touch it. So you're saying I wasted a perfectly good upgrade?!? WTH?!
How long have your M&P docs stated that you'd work on rooted phones?

Yeah. Any tech that flags your device as DBR for being rooted is breaking policy and majorly ****ing people over. If root is suspected to be the cause of the problem, the procedure is to flash back to stock and wipe the device then try to replicate the issue. If the issue persists and there's no physical damage, it's a hardware defect and needs to be replaced under TEP/warranty.

My bad. I got busy today and totally forgot to snatch the M&P. Let me see if I can get it really quick before my shift ends just in case something like this comes up in the future.
Also relevant to note here is that there's a good chance your newphone will have the camera issue because, from what I've seen, there's circumstances in which ever One does it. It seems to be related to how hot the phone is. Some phones are worse than others so YMMV.
EDIT: That took all of five seconds. Official whatever thing attached.

Yeah. Any tech that flags your device as DBR for being rooted is breaking policy and majorly ****ing people over. If root is suspected to be the cause of the problem, the procedure is to flash back to stock and wipe the device then try to replicate the issue. If the issue persists and there's no physical damage, it's a hardware defect and needs to be replaced under TEP/warranty.

Totally downloaded this and stored for a rainy day. The last time I had any issues with my phone, the tech completely messed up my homescreen configuration by accepting the sprint homescreen bs thatt I geeky every reboot. Suffice to say, the techs at this store are kinda... Well, I'll call them "slow".

Can you post a pic of this purple tint? I went in to get mine fixed and I wanna see if it's the same thing. Also I went in with a stock rom and s-off and they didn't give two ****s lol

This is the simple demonstration I have them.
I opened my camera app... And just placed the phone camera down imitating low light/night conditions. Screen turned completely pink every time

Actually, the S-Off procedure for the Vivid is tricky to do and requires a bit of patience. One thing I got wrong was thinking that one end of the wire was supposed to go through the hole. The hole just marks the position of the ground wire. Once I figured that out, it still took several tries before I got the timing just right.
It really does work, though. I have hardly ever seen anyone having a problem unless they didn't follow some of the directions, like having your system stock to begin with.

Windows is no longer supported. I have heard you can use a boot disk from Ubuntu and set up the files on that. I have a spare hard drive that I keep loaded with Ubuntu for those times that WinDoze doesn't do what I want.
Correct, Windows is no longer supported and it took me 3 or 4 times doing the wire trick before I finally got S-off, but it does work. BTW - I actually still have the ControlBear files for windows that I used to S-off my Vivid. I could email you the zip file if you want.
