Just installed orange update and all is looking good so far
You willing to try some factory resets, like 10 or so if you're under warranty?

I would NOT do a factory reset/wipe. Can you truly risk bricking your phone? Wait until a developer can dig into this ROM and kernel and take a look at MMC cap erase.

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.

is LP8 safe as for transfering huge data will get me a brick and is it safe for a full wipe
No one has tried to reset the phone on LP8 yet. Perhaps you can try it and let us know.
Plz avoid wiping at the moment...
I did wipe using code and stock recovery. Fingers crossed, no issue till now. Done at least 10 time.

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?

What steps did you take when flashing
Have you tried download mode?

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?

I allways do this for smoothness and speedy performance of the phone
It depends. If you install official updates ex. via OTA you don't need to do wipes. It would be unacceptable for most users to wipe all collected data from their devices once a month. My old S2 had it's first full wipe after 1.5 years of usage when I gave it to my father. It had great performance and stability all the time (only official updates).
But if you play with customs, well this is the price of having custom roms
OK, back when kit Kat first come out I flashed a updated boot loader and when I rebooted the phone will no longer turn on. All I get is a red light. It seems I had a corrupted file. I can not get into recovery, and it seems I can't get into download mode either.
So here is my question. I read somewhere I can JTAG this phone and that will fix it. I'm unfamiliar with JTAG process so that's why I'm asking here.
Also, is there any other options?

If you tried to flash a bootloader you most likely hard bricked your phone. Do you have a link to what you flashed? If you have to jtag check out mobiletechvideos.com. they've gotten very good reviews.

I don't have the link because it was almost a year ago. I'm using a nexus 5 now but want to save this phone if possible. I'll check that out. Thanks

Did you unlock the bootloader before flashing a new bootloader? I'm not sure if this makes a difference.

Yes, I was running PA ROM at the time. Its possible I flashed a boot loader for another phone. Lol it was early in the morning, and it was totally my fault. I'm just looking for a way to save it because its in mint condition, not even a scratch on it.
So if JTAG is the only option, I'll gladly pay for it as long as it will work.
But I was told with JTAG, or motherboard replacement is required to fix what was done.
