I installed Euro firmware, on the second flash everything just stay'ed black, and I waited awhile till I decided to power off then power back on. First thing I saw was AT&T connect boot screen, then it went black but I can still hear Samsung's power up theme, also device has a Vertical Line running down the right side. I noticed that If I press power button twice Tab comes on, and everything looks great, so I rooted my device and installed Titanium Backup,Everything seems okay. So my question is how do I get rid of the AT&T Boot logo and to be able to see Samsung logo on boot?
\\\\\\\Exactly what happens on fresh boot/////
-fresh boot- AT&T Connected screen comes up, then screen goes black with the line on the right, then Samsung's power up theme song comes on buttons light up screen stays black line goes away, then screen still black, then to initialize the screen I press power button twice. Comes on and works fine.
****Would love to fix that part, I would be most greatfull for life! Willing to pass on info, to all who want more!****

Install euro firmware with bootloaders. JJ4 is good one since it's bootloader is not signed. Then you can install newer euro firmware over it.
However, so far there is no known way to go back to AT&T bootloaders. So you ca't fully restore to AT&T if needed.

I got a samsung vibrant Tmobile and after flashing a custom Rom
I got AT&T bootup screen! Any answer will be appreciate !
There is a thread for this titled "How to fix at&t black screen with thin white line at boot up". I know you can find it by searching - I wrote it.

So as the title says i currently have MIUI 1.6.10 demonSPEED v1.1 ROM and it is not booting, just completely unresponsive to everything i could think of. Im just throwing this out there to see if this has happened to anyone before or if there is a way of fixing this issue. I don't believe it has anything to do with thederekjay's rom just some unfortunate event. Anyway i fear it is possibly bricked and that i am gonna have to shell out the $150 to get a new mt4g from the insurance. Details follow...
So have had this rom for about a week now and has been working great. However this morning i was on the browser reading the news and it became unresponsive. After i let its display turn off (i just left it alone) i used the track pad to wake it. It was slow but it did show me the lock screen. When i attempted to unlock with a swipe down i felt the vibrations but the slide lock didn't budge. I then tapped the power button to turn the display off and tapped the power button once again to turn it on but nothing, just stayed black. I tried a soft reset by removing the battery, placing it back in, and powering back up. When i did so the t-mobile mytouch 4g boot image w/ the white background came on then went to an android image (lighting up a through d, looping) but then it just remained at the android image for five minutes! So i tried a soft reset again but the same thing would happen, act like it was gonna boot up completely but then gets stuck at the android image. So then i tried removing the battery and booting into recovery (via power, vol down, trackpad) that time the t-mobile mytouch 4g image would appear but after that the screen went black and after that every attempt with either the soft reset or boot into recovery wouldn't do anything at all, just a black screen as if the battery wasn't in at all. Its been like that all day and i can't figure it out so if anyone knows some info i would greatly appreciate it thanx
Hello everyone!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, and I had successfully flashed Onecosmic's ICS_4.0.3.0(RC3.1)_Vibrant_Full.zip.
It worked fine for about a month, sometimes it did just black out and I had to remove battery and reboot it, but nothing serious.
But tonight it just went black and now when I try to power it on this is what happens...
1) "Vibrant" and "SAMSUNG" appear for about 2 seconds
2) Blacks out for about a second
3) "Vibrant" and "SAMSUNG" reappear for about 5 seconds
4) Blacks out. The bottom "buttons" light up if I touch them, and if I keep the power button pressed for 10 seconds it does reboot, but it doesn't boot up Android.
I dont know what I should do, if any of you know a way I could boot it up at least once more to backup some stuff, that would be great.
Any help will be appreciated... Thanks!
Try going to recovery and flash from again.
iPhone killer!!!
Yea, I might do that, I just didn't wanna lose all my data, and some recently-added phone numbers =/
Don't factory reset
iPhone killer!!!

did you make a nandroid? you could just use the advance recovery an put back the system without touching the data
or if you didn't you could make a backup the flash the Tom again then advance recover from cmw and put back the data
hope it helps, good luck
And as far as numbers go, you really should be syncing them with your Google account. Than You will never worry about this again.

You will probably need to Odin it back to stock. Read this thread. And while you are Odin'in check to make sure you are following each stop to the letter. As you probablly flashed a GB bootloader, to get your ViBrick into download you need to: Open Odin. Then connect your usb cable to your phone and computer. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes (flashes) release the Power Button. Then it should get into download mode. After that use Odin accordingly to flash back to stock.
Sometimes that just happens. Try letting it sit for a little while(10 minutes should be plenty). This happens to me sometimes and after a while it will randomly boot. It's very strange.

Hi My boss has a droid x and it stopped booting. He already got his replacement but he did not back his info up to google so he lost everything. The phone is completely stock. He said that first it gave him the black screen with the yellow triangle and the android then it would not boot. I know the software is partially working because when I plugged it in to the charger the battery animation comes up. When I plugged it into the pc I tried different button combos because I do not know how to get into recovery mode. So I think when I hit vol up and power I got a screen that said bootloader and power low and cannot configure software or something like that. Oh the screen was black and the letters were white. I am not familiar with this phone or motorolla in general I have and lg and a Samsung and both have unlocked bootloaders. So is there a way to get his info off this phone? The only thing I can think of is to some how install CWM and then mount the internal sdcard but I don't know how to do that with a locked bootloader. So if anyone knows anything please let me know.
Thank you,
Charlie
The black screen with the yellow triangle just means your in recovery mode. If it still goes to that when you turn it on just press both volume buttons and it will give you options. There's an option to reboot and you can factory reset. But I don't know if you can get the data.
Also to get into recovery just press home and power and when you see the m for Motorola release power and keep home held.

Phone screen is black, but phone still "works".. Cannot get screen to come back on!
I have no idea what happened, 5 minutes after being in my pocket I pulled it out and the screen was un-responsive.
The notification light is still on, power light, etc. The power button works, I can push and hold and reboot and the two bottom buttons on the phone light up. I was able to "swipe" my password and it vibrated and accepted it, I am getting vibrate notifications too. I just have a black screen and I can't figure out what to do!
I am rooted, but I haven't had any changes to the phone in a few weeks since I had rooted. I tried using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395 but I cannot figure out how to get the device to show up in the program to use.
I am at a loss on what to do...
No Samsung logo if you remove the battery for 30 seconds, replace it and power on normally?

Nope, no nothing. No logos, no screen flicker, no colors of any sort - just black. The LED goes blue as it boots up, etc, so I know it does power up.. and once it is done I can even swipe my password and it gives the feedback vibrate..
Just in case this was an issue with the root and whatnot I flashed the stock with Odin and I still am getting black screened.
I contacted VZW support last night, and the chat rep told me they would have to just replace the phone. I am guessing this may be a hardware issue.
Yea if there is no logo whatsoever when you first turn it on, it sounds like a hardware issue, not a ROM issue
I forget exactly which logo shows first (S5 I think) that isn't part of the ROM afaik, the Samsung animated logo is the ROM, so if you don't even get the one before the Samsung animation, doesn't sound good
Is it the G900F? If yes, the only thing I can think that might possibly work, is this

Don't use unless it's the G900F

I don't believe it's G9000F... and I am fairly certain now that it isn't a software issue since everything else 'loads', just not my damn screen.. lol.
Thanks for your help though
The reason I posted that link, is, if the bootloader has corrupted, it is possible you won't get any logo at all, and that debrick image basically tricks the phone into using the MicroSD card to boot into download mode from, where you can recover the main storage
It should tell you under the battery which model S5 it is
If the screen doesn't even light up, then it sounds more like hardware
See if this gives you access

It is connector issue.
Either connector is slight loose or if not then need to Change the connector.
My one has same problem.

I only use my S4 to listen to Spotify and Podcast, no other apps are present. I use it until I the replacement Headphone thingy comes for my Nexus 5x.
It's my old phone and it worked great until yesterday when my screen went completely pink and then my phone restarted. Now it's stuck on the first logo screen.
Not the Samsung animated logo screen, but the very first completely white text Samsung Galaxy S4 logo, I can't post pictures.
I am using a Cyanogenmod Rom because of the memory leak bug on stock rom.
I can't boot to recovery because it just boots for few seconds, then shuts off, vibrates 2 times and goes back into the boot screen where it's stuck.
The vibration thing happens everytime I try to boot the phone. The logo comes up, it shuts down, vibrates twice and then it gets stuck on the logo indefinitely.
I can boot to Download Mode and I can't boot to Safe Mode.
Any ideas what I could do? I really want to listen to stuff again.
Could be a power button issue. Open the phone, clean the power button contacts with a bit of pure alcohol, quickly press and release the power button several times in a row using a bit more pressure than usual, reassemble the phone, and see if it works.

It's still stuck the same way.
When I got to the Recovery Screen once, the screen turned yellow and phone restarted.
The power button may need to be replaced. Do you have a multimeter to test the connections?
@audit13: I've got a feeling the power button isn't his issue. On a properly working S4 the screen wouldn't flash a particular color before rebooting. Given that this happened to him suddenly, I think he has an issue with the SoC itself.

I have a almost dead S4 i9515 model here, it stopped working.
Here at home I plugged it in and it vibrated continue and nothing more.
Tried a couple of times to go to recovery (unrooted, so the standard recovery) and one time I got a Samsung logo with something blue in the top left side of the screen and nothing else.
Cleaned the power button and started the phone and got the Samsung boot logo, but it got stuck in the logo loop.
How can I check the power button with a multimeter? Is there a trick to get to the connectors?
You need to remove the back frame to access the power button connectors. There should be there of them. Without the power button pressed, touch the probe across the outer two and see if there is any current being passed.

Will try it this weekend, if it is the button I will just take it out, and try it that way till I get a new button.
Thanks for the tip!
Well, the button was not the problem, see next post
While starting it won't pass the Samsung logo boot,
while starting via recovery (power, home vol-up) I still won't pass the Samsung logo screen, but now with the message in the top left screen 'Recovery Booting...'
It's dead I believe, the power button is okay, but after a few difficult boots, it wouldn't pass the Samsung logo.
But now it doesn't respond at all anymore.
Is there a way to access this phone?
Via adb or Odin? I don't think so, if the phone doesn't startup I can't do anything...?
It is bye S4 I guess...
I am blocked here too with a GT-I9506, and can't fin anything, so yeah, i guess it's dead, mine too
Time for something new...
Anyone managed to revive his I9506? I have similar problem, if you can guys look into it and tell me that you have tried this already:

I think it will be the best way. It's third day of flashing stock firmware from 4.3 to 5.0.1 NEE an TPL. There ware two times that phone actually booted to recovery and green android appeared. But then phone rebooted and still can't get up.
