Help! Screen wont wake, and colours are tinted blue!

[Guest gerolemonster]

Hi all,

I bought my Orange San Francisco earlier today and installed clockworkmod 2.5.1.3. I had problems with no roms working, so I installed 2.5.0.9.

Now, regardless of which rom I run, I have two problems. Firstly, I can't unlock the phone; the screen wont wake after it goes to sleep. Second, the colours are displayed wrong with everything being a slightly bluey colour. I've tried the stock Orange rom, and the orange logo is displayed as a turquoisey colour! This was not the case when I used the phone before changing anything.

I am all out of ideas, and a google search for either of these problems returned no results. Please be gentle with me, this is my first Android device... Any help would be massively appreciated, I just want a working phone at this point!

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

Just to add, when I boot, the robot is initially green, and then it changes to the weird tinted blue colour

I suspect you need the latest Orange UK ROM.

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm currently using that and it suffers from the problems described

EDIT:

I was actually using B05 and just hadn't noticed the difference. I put B08 on and it's all good now, thank you!

Can't remember what I did exactly but I had this problem last night. I got it after installing Superboot...

Erase everything under clockworkmod you can, boot, data, system etc the reflash the orange rom

I bought two Orange San Francisco phones from the same shop, one today and one yesterday, and the one I bought today appears to have a TFT screen and so the Custom ROMs do not work - they screw up the colours and prevent the phone from waking from sleep. For all your people with the new screens, you need to use the original ROM until the custom ROMs are updated to match the new screen.

[Guest gerolemonster]

Just to reiterate the post above really, if you've had the problems I had with a white model, you need to go back to the stock rom for now. This cleared it all up for me:

Not completely true as i'm using [ROM][eclair] Customised BladeVillain 1.1.0 RLS2 on my girlfriends white san fran and it works perfectly for some reason

i have this exact same problem - restoring the original rom does not cure the blue problem, fastboot + rooting causes it. how do you unroot it?

I've just tried telling you this in the other thread, it's not the rooting that does this, it's the boot image not having the TFT drivers as far as I could tell

Install a ROM that writes to the BOOT as the one I hav elinked you to and that will solve it!

[Guest Arr Too]

Don't forget to wipe the cache and data (using ClockworkMod) before flashing the replacement ROM.

[Guest jiggling john]

done that, can definitely report this did not fix the problem, i'm still all blue , my guess has to be these new screens also come with slightly different software which isnt in these images

[Guest Arr Too]

Exactly which ROM(s) have you tried?

[Guest StevenHarperUK]

The white TFt is running Stock B08

The gray TFT mist be running a different Stock ROM

we need a dump of this ROM so people can recover to it.

Can someone dump it?

[Guest jmm_wifi]

that happened to me :-/ with a SF (Portuguese Ver) SLCD .. i tried various roms but the only one worked like a charm was the bladevillain 1.1.0 ..

i get that same issue, weird blue android on boot, and after get into sleep mode it won't wake up, but you can still hear that "pling and plongs" sounds from the touchscreen ..

[Guest Raspa]

Do you have a white or grey SF, jiggling john?

[Guest jiggling john]

grey, was bought yesterday.

The worrying thing is there is a pile of legacy information in this forum which needs to be cleared up.

I can't think im doing anything wrong - after all i managed to fastboot it, clockwork boot and install various images - including the stock one but none have removed the blue problem.

I went through the usual clearing cache, restore factory defaults etc between each format and had no luck.

You have an LCD screen.

Choose a rom that works with LCD screen phones.

Not one that is based on an OLED screen rom. (Not even the Original Orange Stock rom -- its for OLED!)

Surely installing a finnish rom etc is a bad idea on an english phone? - what differences are there?

Besides, the problem here is restoring to "out of the box"

No, its a great idea.

Read the first post in its thread.

You don't need to speak Finnish -- its based on the latest offerings from ZTE (which went to Finland first).

The r2 when it comes (with the compass fix for older phones), it should be fantastic.

For now, Hungarian Hedgehog seems the most advanced 'utterly zero fuss' rom available and suitable for all the phone versions.

Its not just about the choice of pre-installed apps ...

And for that, with a UK LCD, you need the version -08 (not the -05) of the Orange UK rom, OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08.

It has its own thread.

ah ok on the other roms!

still not good on the 08 version for factory defaults, though - i've replaced with that image, then the original recovery and boot roms and still no joy ;)

[Guest Winston69]

Have you erased BOOT in clockwork under the advanced settings?

[Guest iantib]

How do you tell if its a tft or led screen?

I used recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.9-modaco-r2-blade.img but when mine went to slep it wouldnt wake up, I then put OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08.recovery.img but it is stuck on the green android :-(

Please can anyone advise me what to do as I'm new to mobile phone technology so this is a steep learning curve for me. Iused something called fastboot to do the rom updating. This worked on the pc side but when I put the zip on the memory card & it started to update the rom it got an error about line 80 being invalid!!

C:\San\Fastboot>fastboot-windows flash recovery boot.img

sending 'recovery' (2450 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... OKAY

C:\San\Fastboot>fastboot-windows reboot

rebooting...

C:\San\Fastboot>fastboot-windows flash recovery OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08.recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (3492 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... OKAY

C:\San\Fastboot>fastboot-windows reboot

rebooting...

C:\San\Fastboot>

Hi had the same problem.

Worth checking this great post from Steven

Stevens great link

Devices that have TFT Screens have the build Number OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08

Devices that have OLE Screens have the build Number OUK_P729BV1.0.0B05

I made the mistake of putting Pauls super user on which is for the OLE and that is the reason it turned blue (thanks to fonix232 and Phonix Silver for their help)

basically reinstall the following through clockword:

OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08-update-stock-blade-unsigned to card

and back to normal and hopefully someone will tell us which is a safe steady rom for TFT

Hope this is of some help, as their is plenty on the great forum
