[Q] Nexus 5 Carbon rom help - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I have used carbon rom for several months now. and i am very happy with it. but now i have a problem, my nexus 5 doesnt seem to work anymore, all i see when i press some buttons is a screen filled with random pixels and sometimes random flashes of diffrent colors. ( i provide some images attached ), I didnt change anything so how did this happen ?
I somehow managed to get into fastboot mode and restored a backup. so i thought it was all fixed and then i flashed the last carbon rom again, seems to be working. but 5 minutes later the same random pixels appear and flashes of colors.
Can anyone help me, I cant use my phone anymore...
Anyone with same issue ?

Some info :
Nexus 5
TWRP
Carbon rom / stock / CM11
Thanks.

[Completed] [Q] Soft bricked device, screen is acting really weird

Hello everyone, one year ago I rooted my Note 2. After the root, the booting screen already started to act weird.
At first, it shows the galaxy logo completely normally, but after a second, the screen begins to fuzz or something, i will post a video where you can see.
That weird booting screen stopped after the device was start up. A week later, I updated to 4.3 I think. Everything still worked normally. Again, a week later I woke up and the fuzzy thing has been the only thing it did. I tried to put stock rom back on as download mode still works perfectly (no fuzzy screen in download mode, everything stands perfectly still. However the fuzz thing is in that other mode, where I can wipe cache/factory reset/etc). I don't know which rom version I have now (I tried so many), the only thing I know is that it's the international device.
Could somebody please help me?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The problem sounds more like a hardware issue than software. If you've flashed the stock firmware and you still have the issue it's almost always hardware. You could try asking your question here to see if anyone else has experienced your problem, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2

Note edge n915f - screen blackout

Hey everyone, read this whole story of my note edge and then help me out with suggestions:
- 4 months ago i dropped it, it got a small straight line crack from left to right with no harm done with the touch, i used it everyday with no probs at all.
- Then 2 weeks ago, i flashed the XTREME MUSIC MOD BY ANDROIDEXPERT LIKE 2 TIMES, WHICH NEEDED A DALVIK WIPE, the apps optimization really took long which i think could be the reason for all this mess. I locked the screen, then i went on to unlock it, it never turned the screen on, it has since gone TOTAL BLACK OUT.
- Capacitive button lights and LED light is working, screen is also responding but i just can't see anything.
- i also did a soft reset ( That by removing battery and holding the power button for a minute or so), i turned the phone on but no luck.
====> HERE'S THE TWIST NOW, after 2 weeks of giving up, i tried again, i plugged the charger in and hurrey!, the screen turned on to show the charging animation, BUT, it went on to the boot screen when it shows samsung logo and AGAIN, it went total blackout.
what could be wrong?

Flash a stock rom. If youre on 5.0 find a 5.0 stock or if youre on 5.1 do a 5.1
If this does not solve your problem, i would suggest flashing stock rom with pit file (and selecting repartition option in odin)

Nexus 5 boots for some moments and then start to loop again.

Hi everyone. My Nexus 5 was running good until some days ago. Then it started bootlooping. It wasn't turning on , so I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the stock image. Nothing happened,so I flashed stock KitKat rom and after 2-3 hours it booted and lasted 30 minutes. I mean, after thirty minutes, it stucked to Google screen again. Then I somehow managed to flash lineage 14 and it booted again successfully.But as you all know that GOD Hates me a lot, after 2-3 hours it started the same drama again. And that's the story, I tried lineage,RR,aokp ... everything flashed successfully but doesn't last more than 4-5 hours or even less.But If I try stock, that never boots.
I just can't understand where is the problem.The power button is ok, I installed a kernel and underclocked it to see if there is problem with processor. No luck. This thing can boot ,but can't hold on that very long.
Another thing,when it start looping, it forget about TWRP too. I have to flash stock first,then install TWRP,then lineage /RR.
Can anybody say where is the problem??
I have used some nokias, samsung, even some Chinese phones,none of my phones died themselves, it was my only Google/LG and I faced this.
If the phone boots on a stock 4.4.2 room but gets stuck on the boot animation with a 5 or 6 stock ROM, the internal memory chip is probably failing or will fall.

Need help after failed rom install

I've had some previous experience with custom roms on my old Nexus 6P and thought I would try the same for my mate 9. Unfortunately I've discovered the Mate 9 is not as easy to install custom roms as I thought.
I've tried several things throughout the day and I feel I've accidently overwritten things I shouldn't have but can't remember everything I've done.
It is an Optus branded phone so I believe at the start of the day I had some version of L09C34. I currently have an unlocked boot loader and TWRP installed and would like to flash back to the stock firmware, but seem to be unable to do so. The boot loader is unlocked and when I try flashing extracted parts from fastboot, the phone will reboot, reboot again and sit at erecovery. Unfortunately while I can connect to wifi, no packages are found for recovery.
Additionally I now get this lovely colourful screen in lieu of the logo on initial boot.
Any help would be appreciated.
Okay, so I've managed to unbrick it and install a version of L09C432 and get it working again - thank you to various threads on XDA. I think what I noticed was that someone else had tried the C432 firmware on a C33 model and it worked. Without being able to get hold of the C34 firmware, I tried to flash nougat originally and it worked.
This morning, I've noticed I still have an issue where the touchscreen won't work when the phone is cold (i.e I can't click anything and can't turn alarms off). If I reboot the phone to recovery it's fine, so it leads me to believe its an OS thing. Also, if I give it a few minutes in my pocket, or holding my palm on the screen it then responds. This is the issue I tried to resolve by resetting and trying a different rom but seems I haven't been successful.
Finally, when I first turn the phone on and the screen lights up I see a green background with one blue and one red box. Any ideas what I have messed up there and how to fix it? I'm not too concerned, but it would be a nicety.
Just providing updates in case anyone comes a long with similar issues.
I have now fixed the strange coloured screen on initial power on. I've found the oeminfo for the C432 firmware on another XDA thread and took a backup of what was currently there, restored the C432 version and rebooted. I was presented with the eRecovery and no TWRP. Quick check in fastboot mode showed the phone relocked. I unlocked it again and it booted no issues, however was unsure if the custom rom was still installed as I was presented with the option of an OTA update. Initially my sim card was not recognised, so I had to remove and reinstall it but so far so good.
I've just reflashed my custom rom and will see how I go.
The only potential issue I have outstanding is my touchscreen not working either first thing in the morning, or when the phone is cold - i.e I've gone to the gym and left it sitting in the locker for 2 hours and I can't use the touchscreen when I come back. I can unlock it fine with the finger print reader and the phsyical buttons respond but touches on the screen won't. If the phone is left alone for a few minutes the screen shuts off and turns back on approx every 5 seconds until it becomes responsive. Has anyone seen anything like this before? My googling hasn't lead me to anything helpful.
