My phone worked this morning.
Literally between it working fine with no problems, to 20 minutes later I pick it up and the screen is completely unresponsive as far as I know. LEDs light up, vibrations and sounds are good. I can go into download mode even though I can see it.
Kinda stumped. I tried reflashing through ODIN and the screen didn't change.
so you CAN or CANT see the screen in download mode?

When power on the phone, the screen will turn to white, and getting brighter, and the phone freezes. it can't even pass the flash screen some time, some time it happens during getting the system. some time I can make it to work, but when I hang up a call, the screen will turn to white, and getting brighter and freezes. I found out especially when the phone is charging, the more chance it will happen.
It's the hardware or software problem?

I tried a few times and took the battery out, wait a while, and then put battery back, it worked. Anyway, I want to find out what the problem is, maybe It will happen again.
I reflashed the room, everything seems fine now.
I upgraded the rom in my Epix and it worked fine for several days. Then one day it hung up and powered off. Now when i boot it, it goes to the Samsung screen and then goes dark, about a minute or so later the LED indicator rotates through all of it's possible colors a couple of times and then turns solid blue and stays that way until the battery dies.
Any ideas on how or if it's possible to fix it. Obviously it's bricked atm but i didn't know if there was something i could do to reflash a rom to it and get it working again.
Thanks
Have a look in off topic, there is a thread regarding samsung, or try winmodevs, as you know we dedicate to HTC devices mainly.
Good luck,
mine did this just out of the blue today. with the original ROM. (never even have upgrade to the ID1 yet) had a full battery this morning, did this while in my pocket at lunch. screwed with it for a while then just left if there on the blue light. later that night. i tried to turn it on again and it actually booted this time. but everything was wiped out. like a hard reset had but down.
Started having display problems earlier last month. When i press any of the keys to turn the screen on, sometimes the screen would stay off and the buttons on the bottom of the screen would light up. If i pressed the power button again the button lights would turn off.
I would have to wait several minutes or often times pull the battery for the screen to turn on again.
I deleted ALL apps I was running and it still happened
I then decided maybe it was my ROM/Kern. so I wiped everything and flashed Pac man.
Still had the same problem so I decided I would go back to stock and attempt to lock the bootloader.
This is where my phone started acting like a 7 year old child.
In download mode the screen would stay black, but when i plugged it into the computer it showed up. even in Odin the ports would show up.
So in all my infinite non wisdom I decided to blind flash. All was going well until the end where instead of "PASS" it said reboot and kept ground hog daying on me.
then the reboots stopped. and the awesome "PASS" words showed up with a green background on odin. SUCCESS...
NOT! what a tease!
I cant get into download nor recovery mode since my screen doesnt turn on. When I boot I hear the stock boot sounds etc but the screen wont turn on nor will the buttons light up.
I've read numerous reports on the S3 just black screening on people (makes me wish I kept my galaxy nexus instead)
Now before I call in for warranty (i dont believe the phone is bricked?) will it matter if my bootloader is unlocked?
in all honesty I believe this issue is from the phone and not me flashing roms etc. but most of the members on here are much brighter and more aware of these issues so I'll let you guys decide.
Anyone else hear of this issue or am I the lone ranger here?
Thanks in advance everyone :good::good::good:
UPDATE: Phone screen turns on but stays forever on the 4G LTE rave party light show boot up animation lol Merry xmas to me i guess!

Hello,
So yesterday, I pulled my phone out of my pocket after average usage for the day and the screen was completely black, but the capacitive buttons at the bottom would still illuminate and cause vibration when touched. I tried a reset, but the screen wouldn't turn back on after the reboot. I tried booting into recovery, and the screen was still black. I also tried plugging it into both my computer, and a regular outlet when off, on, and in recovery, with no results.
At this point, I am pretty sure the screen is just broken, but I wanted to ask here in case there is something else I can do. If it matters, I was running AOKP/CM Nocturnal Dirty 4.2.
Maybe just bad lcd
So a relative of mine brought me an S6 with a cracked screen. It belongs to his 15 year old daughter. He told me that she dropped it and the phone is now stuck on a black screen. When I put the phone to charge it didn't respond in any way at first. After leaving it like that for 2 hours I tried to boot it up. Only response I got was a flickering blue - light blue led light. So I searched on the net and found a couple of people fixing this problem by holding the power button with the volume down button which performs a simulated battery disconnect, unfortunately absolutely nothing happened. The phone continued to flicker the blue - light blue light. The screen is probably dead as no matter what I try it is also black. I tried entering recovery mode, nothing changed (flickering blue light), than I tried entering download mode and the flickering blue light changed to a constant red light which after a while changed to green, I am guessing the phone was charging now (screen still black). So I downloaded ODIN to see if the PC will recognize the phone and oddly enough when I connected the USB it did recognize it. So what I'm thinking is that the screen is probably dead as no matter what I do it is always black, but I am not sure what else is wrong with it... Is another hardware peace broken from the fall or did the system just got messed up is that even possible from a fall? If just the screen is dead shouldn't the phone just boot up normally and have sound, like being able to ring and stuff ... Any advice/ opinion will be greatly appreciated.
