A while ago (I'm thinking about 1-2 months ago) I was randomly using my tab when all the color changed. At that point the device was 100% stock. It happened off and on for a while with increasing frequency and a simple restart or leaving the device with the screen off for a bit would fix it. Tonight, it happened twice (so far) and the restart doesn't seem to be fixing the issue. The device has never run a custom OS and I unlocked the boot loader only to return to KitKat to see if that would fix the problem, but while running KK it has appeared again :'(
The shift also appears on the boot logo, appears purple when it should be green, so I'm pretty sure it isn't a rogue app
Does anybody know what could be the problem?

Sounds like a hardware issue. You should probably contact Nvidia support.

my nexus 5 d820 16 gigs would randomly shutdown for no reason, it wouldn't turn on without plugging it in. i was rooted and running cm11, then i tried carbon ROM, then c-ROM. c-ROM started to give me problems so i factory reset and switched to carbon but the problems remained. then i unrooted, thinking that root was the problem but no signs of improvement, so i re-locked the bootloader but still the problem remained. it would sometimes also shut down if i unplug it and would always forget my WiFi connection for some reason. help me please. thanks in advance.
Well sounds like a hardware problem since you already unroofed and relocked boot loader I would say call lg and get a warranty replacement

Sorry to bring this post back after a long time.
I had a similar but not exactly the same problem.
2 nights ago I left the phone on the table, and a few minutes later, when I picked it up, it was off (It had about 60% battery left when I put it down).
Then it would not wake up; I kept the power button pressed for like 20 seconds to force a shutdown, and then tried to power up with no luck, so I'm thinking I'm screwed.
I tried again and it powered up to a graphical noise screen as seen in the attached image, but then it showed the boot animation and came back to life.
This morning it shut off by itself while listening to music (Google play), but powered back on right away...
Rooted 4.4.4, stock ROM, Xposed with Greenify, Amplify and wakelock detector (all latest versions). But no changes for a couple weeks before this started happening.
No specific app running (at least in the foreground).
Any one knows where I can find any kind of log or trace about this, if any at all?
Has anyone experienced this as well?
Thanks
Has anyone had or experienced the "Blue screen of DEATH" well thats what im calling it.
So i had rooted my tab and thats all i had done to it years ago. It then started playing up, screen flickering, random reboots and bootloops. So yesterday i flashed a rom that i found on here and its all been downhill from there. Reboots, bootloops, hanging on the "samsung" logo. The final part was the blue screen.
Anyone know how i can get back to stock firmware. Sammobile has the firmware but when i flash via Odin it hangs on the Samsung logo.
Any help or advice would be greatful

Read the threat " flickering screen " for more information: reboots, bootloops, hanging on the "samsung" logo are all common problems of cracked battery connector. This is an easy fix by resoldering the battery connector.
Blue screen of death, I only see it in SM-P907A from AT&T runs Kitkat, upgrade to Lollipop will solve this issue.
I had this same issue with KitKat and read on here in another forum that upgrading to Lollipop would fix it and it didn't fix it but what did fix it was taking the back off my tablet and unplugging the battery...holding the power button to release any excess power then plugged it back in. Once it booted up I downloaded Repair Battery Life by ToTheTops Apps and ran it....since then I have not had a single blue screen or flicker. This is after a month. Plus once a week i run the repair and so far, since the first time, there has not been any issues with the cells in the battery.
Now I am not going to say this will work on yours but it is something to try. It has worked for me.
Hi there,
more than two years ago I installed Cyanogen on my TF300T and very soon after I sold it to a friend of mine. He used it all the time but lately it slowed down a lot, so he brought it to a IT guy who tried to uninstall Cyanogen and re-install the original firmware (what????).
He failed miserably, and now the tablet is in this situation: as soon as you turn it on it shows the Asus logo with the "this device is unlocked" thing in the upper left corner. Then it goes straight to the Teamwin blue logo and gets stuck there forever. Every once in a while the screen blinks but that's all. I also tried to power off the tablet but every time it restarts itself. The only way to shut it off seems to be waiting for the battery to drain.
Is there a way I could possibly save this tablet, installing some new ROM on it? Thanks!
Anyone?

Bad situation! Hope you can make a "buster99" to get on stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12).
If you absolutely cannot reach fastboot, replacing the mainboard will be the only one possibility.
I have only had it for about 16 months now. It is a MetroPCS GS7 so it's a T-Mobile variant if that matters. Never been rooted or modified in a similar way. The same thing happened with my previous phone, a GS4 which never got fixed. I was just using a video downloader app when it suddenly restarted. It only shows the first screen for about 5 seconds then restarts. I have some experience using ODIN and flashing ROMs but I don't know what I should try with a GS7.
After a few tries to get it into recovery, this is what happened. The blue recovery message in the top left showed up but I didn't let go of the buttons this time. Then this rotating white circle showed up and said something like "applying system update". After about 20 seconds then I got a screen with the dead android and it said "no command" below it. Then I don't know what happened but then suddenly the recovery menu showed up. So I picked to just power off so it is just turned off now and no longer in a boot loop. I don't know what to do from here. I won't turn it back on until I get advice on what to do next.
If you just want to fix it without worrying about losing data, see if you can get it onto download mode and full a full stock flash with all 4 firmware files in Odin.
If anything is corrupt, Odin should give you an error message which might be enough of a clue as to where to look next.
OK so I flashed it once and it didn't work, it was still stuck. After that I just gave up on keeping anything and wiped all data. I flashed it a second time and it still got stuck, but after about 10 restarts it finally worked. However it is now on the T-Mobile firmware instead of the Metro PCS one and also I am having weird problems now. I would like to go back to the Metro PCS however I cannot find any firmware for a G930T other than T-Mobile. The problems I have experienced so far is the auto brightness does not work anymore, I have to manually set brightness even when it is switched on, the screen turns on for a few seconds when it's done charging now, and also I restarted my phone to fix an app and then it got stuck in a loop again. It took 10 restarts then worked again, but that is still a problem. I don't even know if I should still be wasting my time trying to fix this. I really don't want to buy a new phone right now but I also feel hopeless in fixing this one.
Hello,
I recently changed the LCD of a S6 edge. I installed it and turned it on and it booted up fine. I went to make sure everything was working. While I was playing music it would restart. I thought it was odd, so i was waited til it came back on and started using other apps. Same thing..restart. So, i booted to safe mode. Same thing...restart.
So, I tried factory resetting. After that, it would just get stuck in a endless restart loop cycle.
I have also tried reinstalling the OS using Odin. I ran Odin and it said everything passed. The phone restarts and goes to installing updates.
It gets to 32% every time then it says "erasing". After a few seconds of displaying "erasing" it just starts its endless reboot cycle again.
**EDIT: I should add that it never restarts when it's in the download manger.** So, that makes me think its a OS issue.
*EDIT#2: This is a good video. I did all of this. Got to the 9 minute mark and where his comes on, mine restarts again.
Any help?
Thank you!
back in the latter days of flashing S4 custom roms there would be the occasional user who couldn't boot and it turned out that there was some detail in the roms that didn't work with some 3rd party LCD screens.
check the reviews for what you bought and see if you are alone or not.
the issue with those screens was fixed by the devs so if nothing else you might be able to go custom with it.

Hi,
thank you for your reply. I learned about all of this last night lol. so, i'm not exactly sure what you mean. I bought the LCD+frame from Ebay. It stated it was pulled from a working unit.
Could a bad battery cause all these issues? I notice when i power down (only way I can power down is if I Hold POWER+VOL DOWN and select power down) that the LED light stays on.
Hello, could someone delete this thread. I have posted a more detailed thread on this issue.
if it says it's an LCD screen it's not an original part. my point was that some people have had issues booting up roms because of screens.
that was something that was fixed in custom roms though so if you can't another solution a custom rom that works with 3rd party LCD displays might be an option to consider.
