I was trying out using a keyboard with a cheap USB OTG cable, and all was good. Then all of the sudden the screen went buggy, where ever other line of pixels was shifted to the left or the right, almost like some sort of corrupted video file. It started to reboot itself, and it got to the black screen with the Google logo and then the screen fuzzed in the same way as before. It then starts to reboot and does the same thing over and over again. I find that I can get to the recovery screen with the scroll arrows. From there, if I tell it to reboot into recovery it goes back into the same Google logo bootloop. I then went back to the original recovery screen and I decide to try out adb to see if it works. Sure enough it does, and I unwisely start flashing a stock 4.2 bootloader image. However, while it is flashing the screen does the same fuzz thing and and stays fuzzed. Then it doesn't respond to anything. I take out the battery, and try to restart and with will not turn on at all, no vibration, no light from the screen, nothing. I tried a unbricking methods from there, and nothing can make it come back alive. Any ideas?

Hey guys I'm having trouble installing CM-Remix 11. The rom is amazing, I installed an older version and it worked amazingly, but after I turned it off and turned it back on (I simply had it sleep for 3 days, never turned it off) the screen would go black after a couple seconds in the boot screen. The phone is not turned off, 'cause the LED light still flashes when charging and it vibrates when holding the power button.
I tried installing the newer versions, but now the ROM wont even install. It goes black on the boot screen like before. I've tried factory resetting, formatting the entire phone and sideloading the ROM but nothing works. When using the ROM it was super smooth and had awesome features so I'd love to be able to use this ROM. I have been able to install other ROMs, regardless if they are 4.4.x or 4.3.x.
Any suggestions?
So i was using Darthstalker v3 and arter97 kernel 9.3 with no issues.
Suddenly one day, i noticed screen flicker when waking the device, followed by hesitation. So my first step was to wipe the dalvik/cache. That apparently did not help.
I then lost my bootup logos, as well as shut down, along with the screen pretty much refusing to come on.
I used smart switch to emergency recover the stock firmware. Nothing. Then i Odined a stock untouched rom. No change. Once i actually got the phone to render the screen in recovery, so i wiped everything three times, and and flashed darthstalker v6. I also rooted the phone again just before that. I
So when the phone is powered off, the battery icon is present, and the screen wakes to that no problem. Since i set the device to never timeout while charging,
when i plug it in, the screen comes on, but as soon as i try to touch it, poof, the rendering of the screen goes. But, while this occurs, i can hear the icons being pressed,
etc. Completely stumped as to what to do. Can someone help?
[SOLVED]
strangely enough, I found a solution in a most peculiar way.
I managed to finally get into the phone by charging to 100 percent. Then, I downloaded flashify, and attempted to flash tekxodus rom, as well as selecting dalvik and cache wipe.
The flash did not work. the phone just rebooted. Then, I downloaded rom manager premium, and then rom manager attempted its prerequisite attempt to detect my recovery. (up until that point, I had twrp installed).
The detection lingered, so I pressed the back key and selected reboot into recovery. Surprisingly enough, I was back in Stock recovery.
So apparently the solution to the anomaly I encountered in the OP, is to either follow the simple steps above, or, to flash stock recovery in Odin. If that is at all possible for the user. I can confirm the above worked for me as I tried everything for the last week and this was the only method that worked.
The shutdown/startup logos are back, with no screen flicker or hesitation on sleep/wake.

yeah i just suddenly started having this problem. my phone would reboot itself and then it would be updating apps as if i just flashed xposed or something, my phone would have issues with wifi, flickering lockscreen, and if you rub the screen while its off which wouldl show you information stream doesnt work either. Decided to dump the rom. Am going with the TEKXodus N5 with arter kernel

It's just like I told you. When I read that you had experienced the same precursors that I came across with the rom, I had a hunch you would be soon after posting the exact issues that I eventually ran into.
So when you download Tekxodus and flash, please keep me informed as to if it resolves the issue. As you are aware, stock firmware has not resolved the problem for me, but then again devices vary.
So enjoy the fix if you ever run into the above issue.
Im fine with stock, but I miss the fun of trying new roms.
Hello,
During/after "long" calls ( >4mn), my screen becomes irresponsive (the digitizer). It's happend every time and it's very annoying. I was thinking it was the fault of my previous rom (PureNexus) but recently flashed CM13 and the issue is still happening. i can restart the phone by pressing on power button during 6s, system seems to work, fingerprint unlocks the phone, power button shows the start menu, but digitizer frozen.
I have the 16gb version (can't make backups, so it's really annoyng to switch to another rom), CM13 last snapshot, Systemless root & xposed.
Thank's in advance guys
edit:
So the issue has become very troublesome, screen didn't turn on or the phone reboot in calls.
Decided to flash PureNexus 7, solved!
However the problem come back when i flashed elemental x kernel. Desactivated DT2W and now the phone didn't seems to freeze!
Hello all,
Today, I was listening to some music and noticed the music lagged and gave that sound when a CD is stuck.
Minutes later, I was checking my Facebook and noticed my phone was acting very slow and froze up.
Then a bright white notification light turned on and my phone rebooted itself (the white light remains on).
Once it reboots, it remains stuck on the Galaxy S6 Edge+ screen and it won't do anything. I tried the volume down and power button method but the same thing - it just reboots and remains stuck on the logo screen with the white notification light on (see below for screenshots).
I also tried to go in Download Mode and tried flashing a stock firmware, with the hopes of enabling me to go in the factory menu and do a hard reset, but that doesn't work neither due to non custom bootloader and FRP lock - which as per my knowledge - I can only unlock whilst the phone is booted successfully.
I Googled the problem but no answer for the specific issue I encountered.
I'm clueless and have no idea what to do.
Can someone help me with this?

Are you rooted with a custom recovery?

I can't - FRP Lock makes it impossible for me to either Root or flash a different Recovery.
