hey. i went to take my evo off the charging dock and then went to wake up the screen and when i do the whole screen is in rainbow, snow pixel. like all i can see normal is the status bar. i can boot and reboot, boot into recovery ( but cant see anything except the very first line on the top of the screen) but the screen is just messed up. it looks like one of this old tv's that when they loose connection they get white and black snow except mine is colored snow.
any ideas?
thanks

I would imagine LCD failure, though I can't be quite sure. Could you include a picture of it?

The same problem with my GSM Evo 3d:/
What ROM, Radio, kernel are you using? LeeDroid V5.3 and LeeDroid V4.2.1-1.94GHz-KERNEL, radio - 10.59.9020.00_10.15.9020.06 in my case
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/543/img20120225140835.jpg
I noticed that when I removed battery and tried to boot, in the beginning screen was black and then was LeeDroid's boot-sound and when phone is supposed to ask for my PIN code the rainbow-pixel screen appears.
Could anyone make step by step instruction how to reflash ROM? I cannot see anything so I need all information (like push vol down two times). I hope it might works

really... LCD Failure... how would i fix that... here are some pics. I am running this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456793 on version 1.3.
so i will post pics, and do you think rogers would be able to fix this problem or would it cost a hell of alot of money?
I'm not convinced that it's LCD failure. LCD is working (in a strange way) and in my case touch is working as well. In my opinion it might be motherboard (or anything that controls LCD). I'm going to try changing radio, rom and kernel - maybe it will work. But I really need your help with the step by step guide I mentioned in my previous post.
ok, so what are you going to try and do, are you going to try and reflash a rom?
like i can try and give you instructions, but i need to know what you want to do.
EDIT: I have downloaded and tried to run the RUU for My rogers htc evo. it is installing the rom, stock radio, and what not. so when it is done i will update and post back if that worked or not.
UPDATE: Installing the new RUU did not work, the screen is still messed up im guessing its a hardware failure. im going to try to bring it into rogers and see if they will do anything to help me out.
Something new, now my screen is completely black (but i can hear that touchscreen and touch buttons are working).
@Shotgun4 - please let me know what you'll find out.

I don't want to start new topic so I'll ask here:
Could anyone please help me with going back to stock rom?
My LCD is still not functional so it'll be unusual guide.
1. I open cmd and run adb reboot bootloader command (with stock rom in PG86IMG.zip file)
2. Does phone starts in fastboot or bootloader? If fatboot I need to press power button right?
3. Now phone should check for PG86IMG.zip file, what should I press to accept flash?
4. Now few minutes for flash
5. And what button should I press to reboot?
Is there any easier way to flash stock rom without working LCD? with adb commands maybe? please help me guys

Your in diagnostic mode. Hold down the power button for 45 seconds then press the camera button twice it should reset the phone.
Diagnostic Mode, never herd about it. I tried both with phone on and off, no luck :/. Anyone has idea what it might be? (I'll post picture once more http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/543/img20120225140835.jpg)
PS
I managed to reinstall my shipped ROM, but screen is still f*cked up ;(.
Guys I have a problem. Is there any way to switch on USB debugging without working screen? I need to s-on my phone and I cannot use adb without USB debugging. My touch screen and touch buttons are working though so maybe someone could make screenshots how to switch it on? I'm on stock ROM now.
Or maybe there is other method to use step 5 of this tutorial without USB Debugging?
And one more question, If my phone doesn't connect with computer in bootloader/fastboot, does it means that I have s-on?

I had a problem with the power button not working and I was adviced to reflash the original ROM (I never did a ROM upgrade) so I picked the original and latest Cingular ROM. Flashing strated and then hung for a while @ 80% progress, few minutes after continued up to 95% progress and at that point I got ERROR 326 message (INVALID COMMAND) stating that the NBF file couldn´t be used for this phone. I dissconnected the phone and did a soft reset and what I got was the BOOTLOAD SCREEN and since then I can not make the phone exit from it. Later I tried flashing RUU_RIsidoro_2.26.10.2_WWE+CF2SP1_G4, this time it went all the way to 100% progress and the congratulations screen, I made a soft reset (the only way I know to exit the bootload mode) and I got momentarly the HTC innovation screen and right away dissapeared to enter in bootload screen again.
Then I reflash ROM with RUU_Qtek_9100_AKU2_21878_024711_ESN_G4, this time it went all the way up to 100% and success screen appeared, the phone rebooted and is up and running although with inoperant power button.
Since you've successfully reflashed your phone and the power button isn't still working have you considered a hardware fault?
Look for some info/pics on how to disassemble your wizard to verify if the button is well soldered to the board

Luiggi, pls tell me how to flash the phone while in the bootloader screen?!?
There's no secret to flash while in bootloader screen. Use the RUU file. It might take a little while longer to detect the phone but goes all the way to the end
Yes, it has to be a hardware issue

I´ll try the disassembly and perhaps is not a big deal to fix it, I got a copy of the service manual posted in some of the forums, and I´ll give it a try.
Thanks for the advice!
You just do it!

Try first a soft reset while in the BL screen, if doesn´t react then do what I did:
I just plugged the USB cable and run the RUU!! As simple as that and as risky as the ROM you select not being the right one.
After ROM upload my HTC Hero show only some logo like device out of box. Nothing else is going. Button combinations for bootloader access is not working. Any ideas?
I managed to skilfully brick mine too, is a there a way to get it to boot up via key combination or using USB from a computer?
We are three now.
I know (presumably) my error: I flashed an SPL zip package that could be of the wrong type (Dream).
The boot shows the phone logo (mine says G2 T-Mobile).
The home keydown at boot doesn't work.
Is there a possibility to unbrick it?
Hope someone tells you how to unbrick it as I was about to do the update the ROM, not sure I want to do it now.
Right this is very weird as i had the same picture on my phone and thought it was bricked too..
BUT i just did a soft reset call menu end together. Then i did a hard reset as i wasnt sure if the soft one had done anything. Battery out then in and start up phone whilst holding down house and back key and then it started to boot up. So not sure if this helps anyone i doubt it as its very random but i thought id share just in case!!!
I had just flashed my radio when mine did this..
friend of mine had tha problem too, he had to send his device to htc.. 50 bucks ;-)
hmmm ... i am one of u guys now ...
no matter what key-combo i press, it just show a BOX and an arrow and a phone ... 3 sec later, phone turns off, no matter hwat key u press, it is not doing anything until u unplug the batery ... then when u turn it on, it repeat the same thing again
check if you can access fastboot via back+power when the phone is off. if so install recovery image and then install correct rom. if not i guess you're screwed, not sure though.

Problem starts now , He was talking with his friend and suddenly screen went blank. He's using VillianROM on it now when he switches on he can't see the screen at all, but phone it self works when someone calls he's still able to answers it. he cant flash new ROM Also. he can't see screen so

This is certainly not related to VillianROM in any way.
I think it's a hardware problem - there's something wrong with display panel. If the backlight is dead you should barely see very dark image on the screen in bright lightning conditions.
Anyway, looks like there's nothing you nor your friend can do to fix it. You need to send it to service.

If the phone has USB debugging enabled by accident (I guess it's hard to turn it on blindly) then you can access it using adb shell. If you have custom recovery image installed, such as Clocwork or Amon_RA, you can boot to it and fave full access to your phone through USB using adb (or fastboot) so you can flash new ROM images.

Yes, what he said ^^.
I'll just add one more thing. To get to custom recovery easily, pull the battery out and put it back in again. Then perform what ever key combination to boot custom recovery.
Good luck to your friend!
You might also have more luck posting in the Wildfire sections where they me able to help. It does seem like a Hardware issue with the screen to me? Was it dropped or anything?
It seems like hardware. Probably connection between screen and PCB.
ya his phone dropped many times, ya it seems like hardware issue to me also..
So, Im rooted / ROMd on MDK w/ loki- Been fine since I got it, until yesterday....
Running HD ROM, old version, was working fine 1 minute, tried to check the time 20m later, and boom, BlackSOD. Nothing works except 1 little green pixel in the bottom right of the screen. All buttons work, however, without a screen I cannot see to get back into TWRP / Odin mode. I dont even know wtf happened....... I tried to get into it by memory of where the selections are, but alas, I cant.
Anybody have any ideas how to recover / if its possible to recover from this? Remember I have no working screen to see.....
Edit: Touch screen works, still no picture, just the 1 green pixel. ( when its booted up, power->swipe to unlock-> chime)

Hello first of all my phone touch screen not working at all. It can't react to my touch. Even i had to reboot it by long pressing the power button. The phone still can reboot to recovery,fastboot mode. It's like you're touching the person in coma. No reaction.
What i do before it gets into this problem, i flash a kernel (not gonna tell n not blaming dev either). At first 10 minutes it was ok until i reboot again to recovery to flash magisk zip. After it went to recovery mode my phone didn't react to my touch.
What i do is i try to flash stock global rom. The phone boots but still in coma. Just a new dress for a coma person. Any ideas?
I'll post a pic later. A miui startup screen, fastboot and recovery screen.

Not working too. I'm still convinced it's not a hardware problem. But right now I'm out of ideas.
have you tried reflashing miui through mi flashtool in fastboot mode?
If you can fast it to fastboot perhaps flash the original miui. Maybe you flash a 75hz kernel that some pocophone is not compatible I already did that but twrp is sure working for me though.

If you have kept a vendor image backup of after you unlocked the phone, flash it. Differently, your only option is flashing your original miui via fastboot (not an update).

Hi. Sorry for heating this.
I know it would make the dev look bad, but could you please mention which kernel you used? So the dev could try and look into it. If it was my kernel, that's strange, we literally never broke and phone. Now we saw a post about NGK breaking a touch, that's why I'm asking you to at least somehow hint at the kernel

I flashed Lawrun K. But don't worry I didn't blame him the dev for the cause of my phone.
I already flash stock miui using miui flash tool. Even flash the outdated version in hope that it will back to normal but it's not.
What bad is that in any screen, either home, stock recovery nor twrp the touchscreen won't work. The rest work perfectly. It can boot, can flash via adb, flash tool whatsoever.
Right now i cant replace my screen yet due to covid19 restrictions order to stay at home and all shops closed. If any of you guys have idea please do share. For the dev of Lawrun Kernel, it's not your fault. I already understand the risk of flashing all this tweaks.
