[SGS+] Blue/Red stripes on screen?

Why do I have stripes on my screen, when there's anything red or blue on screen? I mean that every red or blue color have stripes. Brightness does not have an effect. I'll upload images if necessary

Try factory reset *2767*3855# ( it deletes all your data) if that doesn't work flash a stock rom and bring your phone in for repairs

I tried factory reset from settings, is it the same thing? Anyway it didn't help. I barely rooted, so I probably won't do rom stuff. Should I return my phone?
Edit: I remembered that I updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5. Did you mean that?

Yes factory reset from settings is the same. Your post was ambiguous so i'll just say what you have to do. Flash a stock rom ie xxxkqB etc or if you are NOT rooted you can skip this step. Then bring your phone in for repairs.
I had a dead zone on my screen, but already rooted so my warrenty was void so I just flashed a stock rom and brought it in for repairs. They did not charge me and replaced my whole screen. Hope this helps.

Does unrooting get warranty back?
Sent from my awesome SGS+
Yes , but its safer to flash a stock rom. If you worried about your data just back it up with Titanium back up.

I hope you're not doing it for some kind of warranty reason, because if so you're hosed. Razr M has a root checker. When you get into recovery, you will notice a yellow "qe 0/1" or something like this. It will say "0/1" if the device has been rooted before but isn't now, "1/1" if the device is currently rooted, and "0/0" if the device has never been rooted.
It is impossible to make it say "0/0" after root, so even if you unroot it (trivial, just fastboot back to stock) it will always say that you have rooted it at one point in time, which voids your warranty (and your TOS, depending). Rooting this phone means taking it into your own hands.
Bastards!
What about for replacement devices after the warranty is over? Like if you get the insurance on the phone, does rooting void that too?

Don't quote me on this, and YMMV but the Verizon (Asurion) insurance covered my rooted d2g a few months ago... it should cover the M as well

So fast boot back to stock will reset the root checker counter?

Would anyone mind linking a verification on this issue? Thinking of getting a RAZR M myself and being able to get abck to stock with a "qe 0/0" in case of a hardware malfunction would be something I would want.
I'm also looking at root and custom roms, and interested in this.
actually in the supersu app ther is an option that says full unroot it is in the settings under clean up and it says full unroot
Can I only unroot my Razr M back to STOCK ICS??? How would I unroot and get JellyBean back? Or can I not get it back?
Btw I prefer the notification bar on ICS versus the new JB one....

Well, the issue is not unrooting; its that Motorola has a root checker in the recovery menu that says whether the phone is rooted, not rooted, or not rooted but was rooted in the past. That last one is the concern....

I had a crazy counter read that was 2:1. I unrooted, flashed to ICS, factory ota to JB and it read 0. That phone is long gone. Had to reflash JB last week on my replacement and now I'm steady at 1:1. So, my guess is you can't. You could on the OG RAZR I believe, but not this updated system. My first M had that reading before the root exploit was available. (2:1)

You Can do you have to dowload universal unroot .apk and install and press unroot sorry for my bad english i am a boy

well, My device was bricked

My device won't boot up power or wont go to recovery mode. powering on has no vibrate feel and it stays black. I used liquid smooth.
Where did you get the liquid smooth rom?

I downloaded a 2.9 rom for att only
1. I wipe factory reset coming from different rom
2. I install liquid smooth
3. I install loki
4. hit reboot
5. it ask for fix for root, i slide it to fix.
6. bam! screen went black!
If all of this cant be fixed, I have to take it back to att for replacement and act dumb. I have last day to return today. 14 policy is about to expire 11:59. I had it since July 15.
If you can't even get any power and can't get into down load mode then you probably are not going to get it fixed. Have you tried odin and seen if it will recognize the device?

If you could get into download mode then your not in trouble just reflash stock via odin?

Odin do not detect my phone. It SOL! I went to att today. They told me it was SOL too because this device won't boot into recovery or download. Nothing was turning on. So it was replaced by warranty. I told them I rooted it (not playing dumb here at this time) and they replaced it.
Does rooting void warranty right? I don't get it? But I remember on another forums said rooting does not void warranty? Unless they see custom device and unlocked boot loader void warranty?
Can someone explain clearly?

In almost any situation, operating a device in a way other than the manufacturer intended will void the warranty. In the case of AT&T's warranty, they may have explicit clauses against jailbreaking, rooting, and firmware modification in general. In the terms of the manufacturer's warranty, they might even allow for root, but I'm not sure on this. I once saw someone (reputable dev) post that rooting by itself is not an automatic void. They have to prove that what you did broke your device (which it sounds like what you did probably borked it).
If someone has a rooted device, and suddenly the battery explodes or the LED light stops working (on an otherwise stock rom), then it's kinda hard for them to point at "you rooted it" as being the problem.
But yeah, best to look up the verbage in the warranty, to be sure.
What ROM was on there before you flashed liquid?
And what recovery?
I ask because when flashing AT&T liquid on TWRP at least, you don't flash loki and you also don't get prompted to install root. Not even after a full wipe of EVERYTHING.

Google edition 4.3. Is this more likely caused by it? I wiped factory reset before flashing.

Im sorry if I missed your answer to this i didnt see it. Can you put the phone into download mode or not. Holding power and audio up?
I'm not a master at this, but wouldn't a JIG put the phone automatically into download mode, if its not bricked that bad?

[Q] So i believe my phone might be soft bricked

My S4 is currently running MF3, i rooted while in MF3 so it was that soft root stuff without the bootloader. i figured it was time for an update to 4.3 so when i went to Unroot the phone it literally just sat at the Samsung Custom Screen. I tried to access the TWRP and restore that way, Nothing happend, i took it to best buy and tried to reflash it that way, their computer couldn't see my phone.
So my last option would be to connect it into Odin correct? Would this work or am i wasting my time?
Try Odin. There is a thread with the correct files.
Also, please do not talk about smashing or purposely damaging your phone for warranty. That is warranty fraud and is not allowed on XDA.

Lol True , sorry bout that. I'll give odin a try, i have the thread...just hoping this really works
It should work. Make sure you have your drivers and your device in DL mode when you connect it to your PC. Also use a back USB port.
