[FIXED] black screen on hboot/recovery and camera issue (FIXED)

[fblodroid]

During an update, (PASSIMG.zip) in hboot I selected yes (to install) then about a second later, my screen
turned black and now, the only thing I can do is to boot in the installed stock rom (FRG33).

My english is not perfect, i'm sorry for that.

1. I Removed my battery after a while. (about 10 minutes)
2. Inserted the battery back in his place
3. Power down + vol down and I'm stock, I can navigate in
the menu but I can't see anything...

Anyone know how I can get my screen back ? OLED vs SLCD ?

Note: I can boot in my rom, the rom is unrooted, my phone is unlocked.

(And yes, I tried to flash recovery and another rom without success. And I can't
find a way to flash hboot again (bad signature)

I'm using the last version of hboot and radio.

If anyone have an idea of how I can fix this, this will be really appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm starting to think than my /dev/mtd/mtd0 is screwed up.

Anyone know where I can get/or generate a image of a normal mtd0 ?
At the moment I'm running debian sid dand SuperOneClick seem to freeze
after trying to chmod rageagainstthecage or psneu..

Note: Yes my screen work when the boot is completed. (but not in hboot/recovery)

bad spl ?

Ok, sorry for the noise, I was able to perform an update via 766a101ae02c.signed-passion-ota-60505.766a101a.zip (renamed to update.zip) and I powered off my phone.

Removed the battery to be sure there is no power at all.
and using some screenshot found on the web.

I was able to perform the update (blindly, this word exist ?) and the phone rebooted
and asked me if I want to update again (google update) I selected yes, the phone rebooted
and, VOILA, I can see again the crappy X logo with an open lock at the bottom.

Thanks again (ok for nothing, but if than can help some people...)

Yes, shame on my english again.

My guess is that you have an SLCD Nexus One, and the passimg installed the .33 HBOOT which doesn't work for them.

I had the same problem when flashing the MIUI-AU rom, screen went black,removed battery and replaced but the phone was dead,I was already thinking which phone to buy then when I connected the N1 to my laptop miraculously the X logo appeared and the rom launched ok

At the moment my phone is working again but I'm still having a camera issue.

About a 1 1/2 month ago I experienced this problem, no flash, no camera, just
a black screen when I try to run anything than use the camera.

Then a day, I was walking on the street and I checked to see if the flashlight was
working and obscured magic occured, the flash was working again but not the camera,
I wiped my phone again, repartitionned my SD card and installed a new rom and the
camera was back to normal.

Now, about a month later, (the problem started yesterday) i'm having the same issue.

I'm persuaded than this problem is related to a firmware problem, something related to
my /dev/mtd/mtd0 (hboot, perpaps ?) I don't know exactly where the camera firmware
is writed in the phone memory (nand)

I wiped and flashed again and again a lot of rom last night and today and the problem
still exist.

No camera/flash at all.

I'm thinking about returning the phone for warranty issue but like I said before, the
phone is unlocked... perpaps I will try to black the screen again and send the phone for
warranty... this way they cannot see (without fastboot) if the phone is locked or not.

If anyone have an idea of what I can do... a rom to recommend ?

Today I tryed to revert hboot without success...

EDIT: At the moment I'm running a rooted rom based on FRG83G.

Related to my camera/flash problem:

Hum, I think I found the problem, this is hardware related, something seem to be
badly connected in the phone, I tryed too apply some force on the right border of the
phone with the flashlight ON (I previously looked on the web to see where the "contacts/plugs"
are located on the pcb (teardown pictures) and after applying some pressure, the light came ON
and now I can open and stop the "flashlight" mode.

teardown on the way ? I'm thinking about it... but i'll try to flash another rom again to see
if my camera is back.. (like in the past)

EDIT: No camera for the moment and the flashlight app light on the LED only if I select
the option "High Brightnes", ON/OFF are working with this option selected.

FIXED

After a complete teardown of my phone, and a lots of cigarettes..
I found two cables not correctly connected to her pin.

I made a picture, hum, an ugly picture of which cables.

And yep, now my camera/flash are working perfectly.

NOTE: the phone is not easily to dismantle, this is at your risk and peril. (time: about ~25 min)

Thanks again and please, ignore my english. I'm thinking about starting a thread
related to this problem. Should I ?

Hi, I have a HTC Desire GSM PVT4 (HTC__203), with the exact same issue as what is described in the original post. When I boot in hboot or recovery the screen is completely black. When I boot in the normal rom the screen works fine. I reflashed a number of RUU's successfully, but the problem remains.

The misc partition is not part of the RUU images, and I did re-flash the misc partition in an attempt to downgrade. Any idea where I can get an image for the misc partition for my device, or where I can generate one?

Thanks,

Hans

Hey. I have the same issue you had with the camera, black screen and forced to close when running it. My flashlight works perfectly thoug.

I tried wiping and reflashing diferent ROMs, stock and Cyanogen with no luck. I also followed your lead and disassembled the phone to check all the connectors but the problem persists.

Any idea for me to try? Thanks for your posts anyway.

Did you managed to fix it ? Be sure to check all the plugs, at best unplug everythings
and disassemble the phone entirely.

Mine is still working perfectly after two years.
