First off sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forums, I'm new to posting threads.
My galaxy note 2 screen will not turn on, I am able to touch buttons but the visual part of the screen will not turn on and my note 2 has had not been dropped or physically abused. I think it started when I tried to install a boot animation which I had done easily in the past but I tried putting this one in and when I rebooted to see the animation this occurred. Please help! And I'm using cyanogen mod with android 4.3

please close i didnt realize i posted twice
I JUST got my LG G2 from sprint less than 4 hours ago and as soon as i got home i rooted it using ioroot25 that i found somewhere online (if its important i can dig up the link but figure its probably irrelevant) and installed TWRP recovery, made a backup, not a single issue, then all of a sudden half hour later i pick it up and turn it on and the screen is mostly white with yellow lines (that move/respond to touch and whats supposed to be going on on the screen) and it will not show any sort of picture just kinda yellow fuzz lines...it looks just like some phones ive seen with cracked/ faulty LCDs but if i hold the power button and up or down to hard reset it, the LCD starts working again upon boot, and continues to work untill the LCD turns off for the first time after booting and i try to wake the phone again, every time i turn the screen on when its on it goes back to fuzzy lines with no way to make it start working other than restarting the phone with the buttons on the back.
anybody ever seen anything like this before? it cant be a broken or cracked lcd cuz when it first boots it shows a crystal clear screen and everything works fine untill the first time the screen turns off...im guessing i am more than likely going to end up making a trip back out to the sprint store tomorrow for a manufacturer defect replacement? any insight into this strange problem would be greatly appreciated!

Faced similar problem with LS980
I am also facing similar problem with LS980.
Only additional mistake i have made is -
I have installed TWRP recovery for D802 instead of LS980(Seller labeled it as D802). After reboot into recovery mode, My lcd showing only lines.
Any suggestion/help ?
Hello all,
since last 2 weeks, every time my phone switches off and when I turn it on, it gets stuck at the Sam. galaxy note 2 logo forever. I've tried restarting, removing battery but it doesnt helps. It all started when I was on a call and my phone just switched off.
Since then I've flashed my phone 6 times with different roms (Initially i thought boot sware got corrupt) like RR (lollipop and Marsh), nightly but issue still persists. I've also noticed that hardware key (menu and back key) have stopped working completely from last 3 days. If i continue to keep my phone on throughout it works alright untill it switches off again. Because of this, I have to flash my phone and go through installation of all apps which is tedious and irritating.
I'm not able to figure out what the problem is. Please help me understand the issue and suggest an appropriate solution.
Awaiting response. Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Sumeet Bais
Let me start with some details about the phone:
- It's a Sprint Samsung Galay S3, SPH-L710
- It was rooted and Cyanogenmod was installed successfully, no problems
- Phone was given to my aunt, and she used it for a while
Here's the problem:
A little while ago, she told me the phone turned off and wouldn't turn off again. I told her to charge the phone and see if that helped. She charged the phone and waited for the battery animation to show up full, and then turn on the phone. It booted past the Galaxy S3 logo, past the animated purple Samsung logo, got halfway through the Sprint 4G LTE boot animation with the music and then boom. Shut off. And then back to the battery charging screen but displayed the battery as if it was only 15% remaining. What?? Wasn't it full a minute ago???
Here's what I did to fix it:
Okay so I thought, it's a battery problem. I purchased a second battery from eBay (not OEM) and the same issue occured. Same exact thing happened. I looked up the issue online and it appeared to be a soft brick. I forgot exactly what I did but I downloaded a recovery file and flashed it via ODIN and it turned on. Phew.
I gave the phone back to my aunt and a week later, the same thing happened. Phone dead. Won't start. Won't get past the Sprint boot animation. So I thought to myself, hmm ok. I'll just reflash and do what I did before. But I mean, how often do I have to keep doing this? And she loses data every time I have to flash the phone.
And so I did. I put it into download mode, opened ODIN, browsed for the md5 file (I forgot what file it was, I'm mad at myself for that now) and flashed the phone. It flashed successfully but this time, the phone wouldn't turn on. It kept vibrating as if it's about to turn on but then dies immediately. I left the phone on my desk for a while and all I could hear was *bzzt* [pause] *bzzt* [pause] *bzzt* and I'm thinking, okay. Time to get an OEM battery.
I finally found an original Samsung battery from an authorized Samsung dealer, I was pretty surprised he still had the battery in stock and bought it from him and ran home. Still the same thing. Kept buzzing but won't turn on. And if I do turn it on, it won't get past the Sprint boot animation.
So I looked and looked and looked and looked online and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755793
Long story short, I followed the instructions, flashed successfully with no errors, and now I can boot past the Galaxy logo, boot past the Samsung logo, and finally past the Sprint boot animation until I landed on the Samsung screen. Just a black screen with Samsung that seemed to have a glowing purple around it. I was getting excited. After about 10 seconds, it went to the main welcome screen (the Google setup thing) with the next button and the language selector in the bottom. I was on that screen for about 2 seconds AND THE PHONE TURNED OFF. Back to the battery screen.
What am I doing wrong? Is there something wrong with the phone? Battery? Am I flashing the wrong software? If so, can someone please direct me to the right place?
P.S. If you're thinking, "dude just get her a new phone" she does have a new one now. It's a Galaxy S7 but I really really want to know what's wrong with this phone and it's been annoying me lol
have you tried any other tar.md5 files on it?

I honestly lost track of what I flashed on this phone. Cam you provide me with links to files or just the software version to flash?

Might be the power button is faulty...
After I updated my Galaxy Tab S4 to Android 10 with One UI 2, the screen became like the picture attached. Now half of the screen is occupied by black and white stripes.
I contacted Samsung and tried all the possible troubleshooting solutions but in vain, the problem still existed.
I also started a thread on Samsung community about this issue, and I got a lot of replies about the same screen problem that happened with many people.
https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...en-issue-after-android-10-update/td-p/1837825
Still no response from Samsung about that.
Please can you help me with this issue?
It was a long time ago so I can't remember if it's the same issue, but I recall having screen issues on the initial bootup after Android 10 upgrade. I needed to force a hard reboot by holding down both power and vol- buttons down simultaneously until it automatically reboots.
Give that a shot if you haven't tried it.
