[Q] Flashed Froyo...do I posses a brick now? - General Questions and Answers

Yet another problem with my effing phone. Flashed my Galaxy S (GT-I9000M) to a Froyo ROM, worked fine for about 4-5 days. Then all of a sudden, after not doing a single thing, the phone wont leave sleep mode (or I guess wont turn back on). The touch buttons on the bezel are lit up. Force restart and it hangs at the Galaxy S load screen. Just sits there for a minute or two, goes black, and then comes back. I cant enter recovery more OR download mode. Any suggestions?
Best!

[Q]

Hey all i am really new to this and run into a major problem. I rooted my phone with superoneclick and installed a ROM from SGS tools for my samsung captivate. When it would enter into the recovery screen it would not show the usual options but instead a screen of what looked like a pixelated mess. Once the phone started i went to restore to factory settings and now when the phone starts up I see the AT&T logo then it goes to a black screen where it stays there forever. Did i manage to screw up my phone? any help is greatly appreciated.
ok, I finally turned the phone off and left it overnight. The phone does start and work like it should. The only thing is that once you try to go to the recovery mode and the phone does its thing, I am brought to a screen that is half snowy (like the television when you dont get a certain channel) and the other half with lines of red, green, and blue. From here I cannot tell what is going on when I use the volume key to go up or down. Then with a double click of the power button the phone just restarts normally.

[Q] Screen won't stay on for more than an Instant

ok, weird issue.
Yesterday I came back to my TF having left it inmy bag for the day, and it would not turn on at all.
I tried various things and then decided that the battery must be totally dead.
I left it to charge over night, and come the morning was able to watch it booting.
However once It finished boot it goes to black screen. Pressing the power button sometimes gives a flicker of backlight and then goes blank again. sometimes it even gives a glimpse of the screen.
Plugging in the power sometimes gives a longer blink of the booted ROM.
I have tried a cold boot, a full data wipe and I have used NV flash to fully reinstall the ROM (Prime 1.8)
After the full reinstall I go through the Google initial setup process without a problem, as soon as the rom boots I am back to the flicker of screen going off..
Does anyone have any ideas??
Still got the problem, does this sound like hardware to anyone else?
if the screen doesnt work during boot it is hardware problem. flash ur rom again or wipe it

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Screen works fine during boot
Done both of your suggestions unfortunately, as I stated in my original posting.
I am going to try going back to Stock, and assuming its an app NOT restore any during the rebuild process.

[Q] I "CAN" get into download mode, wont stay though

So I've been on this forum 24/7 for the passed 4 days since my phone bricked. Never tried putting any roms or anything on the phone, all stock. It just crashed on me. This is exactly whats happening:
I put the battery in, and as soon i do that, the samsung logo appears, then goes blank, only to reappear, and so on. I don't even have to press the power button it just automatically turns on. So eventually while searching the forums i followed laymans tutorial on how to make a jig, so i did. I thought i had it! But as soon as i saw download mode come up, it just went right back to a blank screen within 3 seconds, only to see that damn samsung logo. So I'm just curious, am I royally screwed?
Would love some input on this as i cannot find anything >.<

[Q]Samsung Galaxy S3 screen problems

TL: DR: Screen sometimes is totally black, but otherwise the screen seems to work fine. Sometimes the phone acts completely normal. Sometimes the phone acts completely normal, but the screen is tinted green, but only after it's booted up. I can access download screen with no issue, most of the time I can get into recovery with out a problem, but not always.
I'm brand new to the GS3, but I purchased it last week on ebay (described as fully functional) since my other phone has been giving me troubles. I received it last Thursday (5/15/14), and it seemed to work fine. I have not been able to activate it yet since I did not have 4G sim card, so I've just been playing with it around the house to make sure it works until I get my 4G card from Verizon in the mail.
So Saturday comes along, and I notice that the screen is all black, but makes the usual sounds when you touch the screen. I pull the battery, and boot it back up. The Samsung logo would come up, but none of the boot animation. Nothing after the Samsung logo. It seems that if I push the power button, the phone seems to be functional, but nothing comes up on the screen. Sometimes if I push the power button a bunch of times, I can get the screen to come on. The screen looked normal, and everything worked fine, until I hit the power button. Back to the black screen. I booted into recovery, cleared the cache and did a factory wipe, and it seemed to be completely normal for a while.
I've noticed that sometimes phone acts completely normal (proper colors, screen turns off and on as it should), sometimes it works normally but the screen is tinted green (power button turns off and on the screen as it should), and sometimes, the screen is totally black, but the touch functions work normally.
Since the screen always works at boot (I can see the Samsung logo clearly and with no color distortion, but sometimes the rest of the boot animation is gone, even though I hear the boot music), and there is also no color distortion in recovery or download mode, am I likely looking at a software issue?
It is not rooted, and completely stock on 4.1.2. EDIT:Baseband is VRBMF1.
I have tried to make my problem as clear as possible, but I will clarify anything if necessary.
Thanks.
I downgraded to VRBMB1 with ODIN, and I still seem to be having the same issue (screen goes black, won't come back on), although the green tint problem hasn't happened yet. As long as I leave the screen on, it works fine. I'm thinking that this might be a problem with the power button, although I don't understand why it would allow me into download mode with no issues, but trouble doing much of anything else. I'm probably going to be sending it back for a refund, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm more than willing to listen. Thanks.

Samsung GT-P3110 Bricked(?)

Hello, recently I started reading comics and found my old tab lying around so ill give it a go
First thing first it wont boot becaue it had no charge obviously (been there for like some years), then I tried to plug the charger but to no avail
I cleaned the contacts of the charger with a dry brush and start charging which then my tab starts charging!
when I booted, I think it was CM 12 (or 13? the one with andy I believe) and everything is force stopping.
I then tried to go to recovery mode and wipe data, but when i rebooted it it just stuck with the splash screen (the one before bootanimation)
I turned the tab off and tried to boot to download/recovery mode but it would just boot me right to the splash screen again, which mean i cant go to TWRP or ODIN.
And it doesn't always want to turn on, sometimes it just stuck there with black screen (not turned on) even if i press power/combo button, sometimes it pop up to the splash screen. what i notice is that i should wait for the charging indicator to show up before i can try to boot again (i got enough juice now, 56% the last time it turned on)
also one thing i remember is something about F2FS but im not sure what that is, but that might be a clue to my situation so ill just write this down here
Hi
Same here with P5110 and Slim7. I can't start it anymore....
I didn't use it for some time and then i charged it to 100% and it started but everything seemed to lag. Then i turned it off and wanted to look for another rom or a newer build. But i can't start it anymore. when i plug in the charger i can see the charging screen but beside of that i can do nothing. It has no effect when i push the on/off button or anything else...and it has to be at nearly 100%...
