Boots but the logo doesn't completely go away - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

The phone will boot, but I can see a semi-transparent logo (Samsung Galaxy S III, then under it is the Cyanogenmod icon) in the background, it's everywhere and it's like someone took a permanent marker to my screen...
Device model: SPH-L710
Rom: Exodus version 5.1-20151224-NIGHTLY
The android version is 5.1 lollipop
I have tried 4 different roms, I can't remember all the names but the roms are obviously not the problem, I believe it has something to do with the twrp recovery I flashed to the phone. This started after the phone would no longer boot past the logo that is now in the background, at the time it was using Resurrection Remix OS, I had flashed it after I bricked the previous rom (Cyanogenmod 13) from updating to 14.1 and ever since then it has had the Cyanogenmod logo at boot, but ever since the phone had been soft bricked for the second time, the logo stays even after boot. Help please, this is all the information I can come up with off the top of my head

have you tried flashing a stock tar.md5, rerooting, re-TWRPing and reROMming?

It sat on the boot screen with the logo on it too long. It's burned into the screen. It's permanent.

cant really fully diagnose it as burn in without knowing if its always there no matter what screen its on, but thats what i was hoping it wasnt. If madbat is right, then your amoled is toasty. Thats why i was suggesting to flash the stock tar to see if its always there

[Q] Soft brick, neverending booting / boot loop. Am i doing this right?

Hi Guys.
So i flashed a few roms lately. started with EmotionMiUi then CM10, Omega, Alliance and well a few more.
i did a full wipe and cleared all caches each times and only had a few minor problems with the different ROMS that i was able to fix.
So i now returned to MiUi and have had it running for about a week. Tried some DPi modding yesterday, and did notice that it took longer time to boot and boot into recovery. i flashed the Xpose DPi remover, and continued using my phone. i have rebooted about 3 times today. And the last reboot caused the phone to enter the eternal "Samsung Galaxy Note II - N7100" boot static "animation".
Now i have tried pulling the battery several times, tried booting into recovery and the only thing that will let me boot into anything is power + home + volume down.
i have obtained the official samsung firmware ROM for my phone.
is my way ahead to "just" flash it using Odin, and i will have my good times back ?
Maybe try to clear Data and Cache partitions first?

Just to clear you're stuck at the start screen( the screen it shows Note 2 and model number)?
If so, then i have no clue
If your phone goes in a bootloop ( startscreen then samsung logo animation, blank screen, start screen, samsung logo animation...) I have faced this issue while flashing Stock ROMs and you can clear this by doing a factory reset though i have no clue whether this is the correct one for MIUI ROM.

i was stuck at the very first startscreen that just stayed there. i had been messing around with some DPi and a lot of tweaks.
i used Odin from my PC to flash the official firmware, then i used Philz recovery to format and clean before flashing my MiUi V5 ROM.
ALL works great.

Can't boot into any recovery

Here is the issue.
I am successfully rooted and have been for a while. For some reason today I try to boot into recovery, then Samsung logo appears, then cwm logo appears, and then it's a gray screen with a little green android and it loads about a quarter of the way and then reboots the system. Right now i'm running the latest Samsung boot loader and I have tried to fix this by re-installing CWM and Installing also TWRP I can't get either to fully load up.
Is it bricked?

Not sure what the issue was. Maybe the latest verisons didnt agree with my gear. I fixed the issue by downloading the windows cyanogen mod installer and was able to restore the system to cyanogenmod 4.4.2

[Q] Elusive Cyanogenmod Recovery Boot Logo

The setup: Galaxy S3 (d2att SGH-I747) running Slim Kat 4.4.4. Bootloader is I747UCUFNJ1 and the recovery is TWRP v2.8.6.0. The phone already rooted with a custom ROM on it. At one point in the past, somebody had tried to install CyanogenMod, but I don't know what they did.
The issue: When I boot my phone, if flashes a "Samsung" logo briefly, then the SlimKat logo, then the SlimKat boot animation in that order. But, when I boot the phone into recovery, it flashes the "Samsung" logo, then a logo that says "Samsung Galaxy SIII" with the cyanogen guy logo below it, then the TWRP splash screen. I am not running Cyanogenmod and am wondering why the second logo appears and how to get rid of it. This has not affect on the performance of the phone, but is something I would like to figure out to better understand how the phone works. Before you tell me to Google this, I have spent countless hours researching this issue and have found only one thread on another forum that mentions this problem with no replies. I cannot find anything about boot logos for recovery, how they get there, how they are changed, where they reside. Keep in mind, I am NOT talking about the system logo or the system boot animation.
What I have tried: When I got the phone, it was on MJB bootloader and have have since upgraded it using Odin and instructions/files from enewman17 and postings on this site. I have flashed his stock rooted ROMS (both MJB and NJ1). I have installed several custom Roms (Cyanogen, SlimKat, Stock_rooted), several recoveries using both the app and Odin (CWM, TWRP, and philz_touch), and at least one Kernel (Majestic 1.0.9). This boot logo remains. The only success I had in getting it to disappear was by flashing progressively older TWRPs and it took back until 2.5.0.0 before it dissapeared. TWRP 2.5.0.0 doesn't even use a logo, so it was probably still there, just not used. The phone works great with everything I have done, it is just this logo that remains.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Here is what I believe you are encountering. If I am not mistaken Slimroms uses pretty much the stock CM kernel but they have replaced the splash screen to be of Slimroms design. However when you boot into recovery I'm guessing there is a different splash screen that is accessed which is still what cyanogenmod put in the kernel.
Could be wrong but I believe that is the case.
Possibly, but I think I have ruled that scenario out. I have flashed a different kernel and a stock ROM but the CM recovery boot logo remains.

Boot loop with teamwin logo

Hi, I recently installed cyanogenmod 12 on my T-Mobile Galaxy S2, I wanted to factory reset it, however, after I did, I'm stuck in a bootloop showing the teamwin recovery screen.
I downloaded cyanogenmod 12 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-tmobile/development/rom-aosp-lollipop-preview-t2931716
I've tried everything I've seen, but still, no dice, currently waiting for the battery to die to see if that would make a difference.

t999 ROMS arent working

Hello, For the past two days i've been trying to get a custom ROM to work on my t999. I've tried 5 different ROMs on my t999 and none seem to work with 3 not booting and the other 2 that have major issues that they shouldn't. Before I get int the problems here's the ROM's i've tried.
-Cm 13. based on 6.0.1. - Boots with a broken setup screen that doesn't respond to touch
-Slim 6 based on 6.0.1. - Boots to black screen, only image that is shown is the power off button when you hold the power button
-LN 14.1- Based on 7.1.2. - Stuck on starting screen then follows with system process isn't responding
-Cm 14.1 based on 7.1.2. - Stuck on starting screen then follows with system process isn't responding
-Meeko based on android 7.1. - Stuck on starting screen then follows with system process isn't responding
I've installed 3 different TWRP versions from newest to old and none of them will make any differences with the ROMs i'm trying to install.
They all successfully flash and do show booting screens, but most never get passed them and the only one with a successful boot was CM 13 with the broken setup screen. I've restored the phone to its stock OS and tried several times along with trying while rooted and while not rooted. The one thing I haven't tried was trying to install the ROM while the phone was on stock i always flash with some version of TWRP but I don't think that would make an issue.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know i'm getting desperate lol.
