red, blue, green and white boxes with the number 0.19 in blue in the top middle.....what happened??? How do I fix this????

use the memory card and put a ROM file and install the same rom you have before

how......
how do i do that when the phone will not go past that screen?

have you tried master reset? hold down send and end key while pushing soft reset button on side with the stylus.

[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.

Problems with flashing Desire HD

Hi! I tried flashing my phone today and did everything step by step as it has been described in the effen manual. I get to the point where I have to boot my phone by pressing the volume down and powerbutton. The menu opens and I choose recovery. The screen instantly becomes black and in about 1 second a picture of a phone with a refresh sign above appears, which is quickly replaced by a phone with a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside. http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx209/erisuser1/recovery_boot/leakV2/icon_error.png
The rom I have used is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545558
What is the problem here? Yes, I have read the effen-manual.
Regards, Sari

[Q] bootloop on htc one x running stock settings...HELP

hey guys. I was trying to connect to public WiFi today and my phone just shut off. It goes through the boot process. I get the first HTC guietly brilliant, then i get the att, then the last htc ONE, it vibrates, goes black like my home screen is about to pop up and nope, no home screen. It goes right back to being quietly brilliant. My phone is not rooted or flashed or any of that junk (my nook however is lol) Its been stuck on repeat for a good 5 hours now. Ive read online a couple of different things to go about doing, but they are all having to do with rooted phones. I am under warranty, so i can get a new phone, however i do have some precious pictures of my new baby cousin and my father that just recently passed that i REALLY DONT want to give up...can someone pleeassseee help?!?!?!??!?!

"fastboot erase cache" will work on a stock phone
also find a way to get into safe mode which i'm not sure how to do

well if u dont know how to do it, then i sure as heck dont know how to do it. and "fastboot, erase, cache"??? lol i know u know that was probably coming lmao

in that case hold volume down + power for until lights flash and stop, then keeping holding volume down and tap power until you get into bootloader, then go recovery. once you get there press volume up to see dialog and selections, select wipe cache, once finished reboot.

ok so I go to recovery and shows the 2 green arrows in circle with a green arrow pointing at an image of a cell phone then it almost immediately switches to an image of a phone with a red triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle and it stays like that for a minute and then reboots and starts the evil cycle of being quietly brilliant all over again

i can't help you anymore more than google could easier, as a stock phone is worthless to me so i know little about a stock phone.

got it all figured out...thanks for your help and for um being so nice, i say sarcastically.

Similar to bootloader, except you start pressing vol down while the boot screen is showing (but before the phone fully boots), instead of before.

That's the stock recovery. What DvineLord was suggesting won't work in stock recovery.

too bad there is no safe mode once you flash custom rom or that is what i've been led to believe

Works fine on CleanROM JL Beta. Pretty sure I've used it on other Sense based customs as well. Maybe its a Sense feature, and doesn't work on AOSP ROMs?

[Q] dropped transformer- won't boot

dropped my tf101. Now when I try to boot the katkiss revolving circles dont stop going round and round. I am able to get into twrp though.I am aunable to restore because I never did a backup. Also I was getting red artifacts all over the screen. I would lightly tap the underside of tf101 and it would make the colors change dramatically on the screen and show red lines going across the screen. after tapping the tablet a couple more times the display colors are normal again but it still wont boot. What can I try?

If you can get into TWRP you need to download the latest Rom and Gapps to a PC and install them onto your sd card) assuming you have one - if you don't ? my advice is get one (or two or three). Put sd card back into tf101 - boot to TWRP and then wipe all (see page one of the KatKiss 4.3 developers topic on this for exact wipes - oops just took this from Timduru's page
Go to recovery
Make a full wipe / factory reset (you can skip this step if you're already on KatKiss-4.3, if ever you encounter a problem do the full wipe and try again before reporting )
Format /system
Flash the rom
Flash optional kernel
Flash gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot
As to the flashing of the screen - the fall could have done something to the video drivers hardware (but fingers crossed)
Good luck

after putting in my micro sd card i saw there was a back-up on it. I was able to restore from it and boot successfully. However my colors were off. . shaking/flexing/jolting the tf101 results in things like the whole screen turning blue green with lines across it. I'm not seeing any red lines anymore and now the olor red is missing all together. This makes white look blue and red look black. I was able to confirm HDMI out to tv still produces image/colors correctly. I'm afraid hitting tablet anymore won't bring red back and kill image entirely. Now since its fall yesterday a light tap on TF screen results in screen to go dark momentarily. Any chance this can be opened to fix missing red? Another problem since fall is vol down button is not functioning right. Seems like its stuck depressed. Is the vol down button necessary for advanced options?

Everytime I reboot I get bootloader white text in the top left of screen thats only supposed to show when vol down is pressed. Then the next screen says press down -vol for wipe option but I it doesnt move when i press vol- ( however I think I can actually initiate a vol- button by flexing the pad. Sounds strange right? Anyway I gues that means I can pick the wipe data option from that screen if i have to. after that select android/ data wipe screen I notice now every time I boot up in bottom left it says "SAFE MODE", what does that mean?

Your VOL buttons are stuck down. I am not excactly sure how to boot to safe mode, but it is due to one of the VOL buttons being pressed during the boot up process.
I would suggest taking the bezel off and trying to carefully bend it so the buttons move freely. I wrote a guide for it here: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo.../10501-rs-guide-power-lock-button-issues.html

I was able to unstick vol-, but after hitting tab a few more times trying to get red back, now there is nothing on display. I confirm hdmi output is still working. Anyone service these? Otherwise i guess i get a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and use as desktop PC?

Something i can fix myself by opening?

Most likely it is a loose video or backlight cable. Open it up and take the bezel off per the guide I posted. Then remove the back cover. There is one screw on each corner and then 3 on to and 3 on the bottom between the screen and back cover. The video and backlight cables are in the middle near the charging port. Make sure they are properly seated. Power it on reassembled to see if it works.

I can tell you that when i press power rhe screen does light up. Its just grey screen. Does that mean back lighting isnt the problem and im wasting my time opening tab?

That means the video cable is loose or that the video card is bad. Since it works via HDMI, it should be a loose video cable. The video and backlight are separate cables.

I tvook the case off. Im not sure what to do. Ive got some basic colors on pad display again but it wont boot. Circles still spinning. I cant ssem to enter twrp either. I tried holding vol down power ro reboot and i quickly see green label on bottom of screen and then goes dark. Would twrp be visable from hdmi out?

Here are some pics I took on the bottom side by charger. what should i reseat. Nothing seems movable .can you tell me how i can get into twrp since i currently can't boot. I tried holding vol - and power but i didn't see opption to hit vol +. I tried to hit vol + anyway but i just got a grey screen. I tried holding power vol+ for 10 secs. to cold boot. still just spinning katkiss circles. Do i need to get into APX mode (hold VOL UP and POWER for about 10 seconds and use EasyFlasher to re-flash TWRP?

Bumping thread
What button combos can i try to get back into twrp since i currently cant boot or enter recovery? Is it the multi color wire ribben that i should be adjusting?

I believe this is the display cable that tends to come loose after being dropped, if not that one, a similar coloured and positioned cable, I did have a video showing the exact procedure but can't find it atm
EDIT - Found it

thanks for the vid. I was able to get display working again including red so this will work even if the problem is your display stops showing all colors and starts showing lines and other artifacts. It seems I answered my own question. you cant use twrp with hdmi only. native display only. Although it could be the commands would still work though you wouldn't be able to see what your doing i'm guessing? so in twrp i did a second recovery of my 4.2. katkiss backup since dropping my tf since I was again just getting spinning circles when booting and I'm now able to boot again. Hopefully this doesn't keep happening where tf wont boot and I have to keep recovering. Seems like dropping it may have done more than mess with display?
