can not say reliably because you did not describe what led up to it. If you can turn off the phone I think that the thing can save a flash in download mode.
I unplugged the USB cable during the download mode
then the screen become noise as shown in the picture
tried TOT restore to 10E (F320K), no luck

Did you unplug the USB while it was restoring? If you did... WHY?!
Have you tried holding down the power button for at least 10 seconds so you can force it to turn off and tried going into download mode again?
NEVER unplug the phone while it's doing its thing.
is it related to the display??
I can enter the download mode
the display snows like the attached photo
did TOT 10e and KDZ 20r flash with flashtools/R&D
no luck
would it be software problem?
or hardware problem like Pseudo Soldering?

Did you ever get this resolved?
I started having the same problem on my VS980 this morning after I flashed CloudyFlex 2.3. It worked great for a few hours, then one time when I woke it up, I was greeted with this same issue.
kernel
You need to find coorect kernels for yours devices, there 2 types, jdi and ldi kernels. You can find it in android development section.
I ended up sending my phone in for a warranty replacement.
A few hours after this problem started, the screen completely failed. Everything on the phone worked fine. I was able to make calls via BT in my car and could hear the touch sounds and vibration when I would try to interact with the screen, but the display would not turn on.

As far as I know, those kernels are patched to fix the "white lines" issue that people (mainly LS980 users) are experiencing. Now, I can't find a good picture of that issue, but this is definitely not "lines" of any color. I'm also convinced that this problem is not kernel related because after doing a TOT restore back to 11A, the problem persisted.
Hi I have the same problem with my LG G2 too. Sometimes the screen will come back on but it stutters and lags. After a while it would go to the white noise screen again. I'm going to send it in for repair under warranty but my phone is rooted and also have twrp installed. However I am using LG's stock ROM. I'm worried that my warranty will not be valid because I've rooted. How did you get it repaired under warranty? Did you tell them that your phone is rooted?
LG G2 VS 980 - Noise Screen
Any update on this, did anyone was able to solve it?
Am having the same issues on my LG G2 as mincxm9 is detailing bellow.

I don't want to be unrespectful, but I think that it's something like a video effect to show to the user that something went wrong, as long as those screens aren't "analogic" or coaxial-via connected. Maybe? Also, something similar happened to me with a bad "flex" screen video cable, can not be bad, maybe just dirty.
Those are just ideas, and nothing more, but please hear me and check for what I said.

Duuuuuuude!!!! You need a new flex cable!!! They are like 15 dollars on amazon. Im waiting for a repair shop to put a new flex board on my phone
When your screen is completely functional but its black, white or has this white noise, it means the flex cable is faulty. Just like a HDMI cable for your monitor can be faulty

Anyone could make it work?
I do love this phone a lot and I don't wanna get rid of it yet and all of the sudden I've Got the same white noise screen error in my old lg g2 d800. I did TOT, factory reset and I don't know what else to do. The system works fine because you can hear the key sound when you touch any random space of the screen (when you click on something) but the screen does not refresh at all the new content to show. Of course at this time I am a few years out of warranty lol, but want to know if someone ever happened this and if was able to make it work without taking the easy way out (ask for a new device). Thanks!

Since a few weeks, at an increasing rate, my screen tends to freeze completely. This usually happens while entering a program, or after a few seconds when I'm playing music in the Windows Mediaplayer. It also happens when my Wizards wakes up when I receive an incoming call.

Some remarks:
- no overclocking installed
- sometimes the things displayed start 'shaking' a little before it shows the barcode
- music continues to play, and thus the wizard itself doesn't freeze
- when I push the 'on/off' button to make the wizard go standby the black lines dissapear slowly
- when I push the 'on/off' button again the lines have vanished and the wizard works just fine... but usually it freezes up again after a very brief moment
I've re-installed the ROM, even different ROM's. Nothing seems to work.
Who knows what this problem might be?
If you've done a hard reset and it doesn't make any difference, then I'd say it's a hardware problem and you need a new phone.

Mine is also from T-Mobile (so it actually is an MDA Vario). Mmm, sucks. Hopefully I can turn it in for a free repair.
Hi,
I've just got the same problem on my T-Mobile MDA Vario.
I'm in the UK and tried to contact UK T-Mobile but I've received no further response after telling them that I bought my phone from Ebay and I was not their account holder.
Can anyone have an advice? Thanks!

My MDA Vario has also started doing the same. Can somebody please help??? :'(
As far as i know it is a faulty connector tape between main unit and screen. should be easy to repair in any service point. i have the same problem as i mentioned here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321078

How did you figure out it is the connector tape?
Because thing like this occurs ONLY and INDEED ONLY as a result of damaged connector tape.
I haven't read about a single device with this symptom that had this problem caused by something else tham connector tape.
Thanx. Will have to look for a place where they would repair/replace the connector. Funny thing is, only MDA Varios seem to be exhibiting this problem.
Nope, I've got an xda mini s (o2) and the same problem. Mines only goes fuzzy when the keyboard is not open, but it is very annoying.
Btw.. as for the faulty connector tape between the main unit and screen, is there anywhere this can be bought?
I have the same problem and have diagnosed it as the connector tape too. So far I have not seen them available anywhere. I did ring up PocketPC Tech in the US and they said I would need to replace the screen (presumably because the screen is sold with a connector tape assembly too?)..
I find I can solve the issues by turning the device off and holding the LHS of the housing down on the LCD slightly. Then I can turn it back on and it's ok. I also tend to find the problem occurs more frequently when the device is cold (poorer connection I assume).
Mine Fades to White
Hello everyone.
My HTC Started doing the same (Fading to white on wake).
I never had this problem before. It happened when i updated the ROM; from the original WM5.1 to 6.1.
As i'm not the technician here; you shouldn't take my opinion as granted.
It can also be the screen "tape"; since my HTC TYTN has a minor scratch on the Screen Tape.
To solve this problem i do 2 things:
1- If it didnt stuck; press the power button to put the device in standby; and then press it again to wake up.
2- If the device went stuck; remove the battery at least for 3 sec. and boot it to the bootloader. (also figured that when it doesnt boot with the boot loader or else; it can be "revived" with the usb cable plugged in; and doing the bootloader step).
Hello all and thanks for reading my thread.
I have searched high and low for this same issue, but found nothing similar anywhere unfortunately.
I have recently noticed that at all times, the screen seems to produce some horizontal lines which flicker often ... I am finding it hard to explain the problem itself, but I have not dropped the phone nor hit it or w/ever.
All I can think of is that I played a lot of this one game on it and it could have affected (overheat?) the GPU or something along those lines...
I am really not sure, but bottom line is that now I see all these issues on the screen, and camera and some games are off limits to use as they look very confusing...
Anyone has any idea what it could be?
G
Could you provide a screenshot?
It does sound like a hardware issue. I would send it for repair. They might even replace it. Maybe you could take a video of it happening.
(I assume you tried uninstalling the game and it didn't solve the problem. If your CPU is being overclocked try resetting it back to normal.)

Are screen issues/hardware issues fully covered by warranty? As I talked to an HTC support dude and all he said was we can book a repair and if it's not covered by warranty we'll send you a quote, £20 if you don't want the repair, if you don't pay either we'll get rid of the phone in 3 months...
So I don't wanna really send it off then find my parents get a £100 bill of which they don't know of :/
Most likely the lines are caused by a malfunctioning LCD. This can happen on its own or by physical abuse. Carrying your phone in your back pocket can cause this. If the phone looks great on the outside (no sign of big nicks from being dropped or warped from carrying it in your pocket) then HTC should find no reason to not fix it under warranty. Sometimes things go bad on their own.
Hey,
thanks everyone for your replies. I tried installing a different ROM (Cyan) on my DHD and it still seems to have the same issue, tried changing the cpu and gpu voltages, playing with temperatures etc, but to no avail..
I guess the LCD did go wrong, so Im sending it to Vodafone (UK) for repair. The only thing is that they will probably send me a refurbished phone if they cant fix it which wouldnt really be my first choice, but oh well! Could be worse I guess...
Thanks again for all the feedback

Hey guys
I hope you can help me, after 4.3 update my nexus starts working weird, like it has been possessed, suddenly it start playing by itself the screen starts moving and open some applications by itself....it recovers when i press the powen buttom two times, so it get back to normal. But this problem has started continuesly apprearing, sometimes im texting and then the phone press some buttoms by itself....so weird.
At the beginning i though i had a virus so i downloaded avast but the problem was still there, then i though mm it might by the image.
So i unlocked the bootloader and then, flash image 4.3, seems the problem was resolved but after 30 min it was there again.
I though OK maybe 4.3 its the problem, i flashed 4.2 but it was worst.
I was reading another post and it seems some users that has NEXUS 7 are experience the same issue:

Try an excorcism by doing a data factory reset in settings/accounts/backup and restore. if that doesn`t help reflash the factory image in fastboot.

Do you have a screen protector on your Nexus? Sometimes some of the cheaper ones can cause interference with touchscreens, making them do that. (Happened to my old Droid Milestone)

Sacrifice two ducks, a rat, and two hundred donkeys and start channeling your thoughts and summon tool guy "aka Satan"
In all seriousness did your phone get wet? And I mean that in a totally non sexual way....
Ouch it's really acts like possessed one, you need to call some priest (kidding) :silly:
If seriously, what version of android are you using? It is got wet, or it's just started suddenly to act like this?
You're not alone, well then again i did get a replacement lcd/digitizer so it could be a problem with that.
But without a doubt i'm getting the same symptoms as you, sometimes my screen touches itself and what not.
Power on/off does solve it too.
If possible enable show touch events under developer options that will help you track down if its touch events.
my N4 has recently started showing these signs without any specific reason, its not possessed but what i can understand is my device has got a horizontal strip in middle of screen which is non responsive to touch and the random touch events are tracked to that specific region only.
I have the same problem. I've got a brand new nexus 4 and its really jumpy and the best possible way to describe it is definitely possessed. Does anyone have any solutions or shall i just send it back and get it replaced?
Now, I bought the battery a few mounths back and I had no problems with it. Then, I broked my LCD & Camera so I bought replacements online.
Now, I replaced everithing, all works fine, screen is working and camera is working as well, but, now my battery gives me troubles. I start to hear noises from back of the phone where the battery is connected to the motherboard, wich is weird. The phone shuts down sometimes and the battery percentage change, always lower. Also the battery drains fast sometimes w/out having apps running in background. ("I use greenify with xposed")...the battery really drains fast and when the percentage is near 50% the the phone start to shut itself down, and if I try to boot it sometimes it does, sometimes the phone shuts itself back immediately at the lg logo. (If I go in recovery mode the phone has no problem and it doesn shut down.)
I have this problem since I changed the LCD and the camera.
PS: For 2 weeks or something I had not encountered this problem, but 2 days ago it reappeared.
Any idea?

Well i replaced my LCD and digitizer on my device lg g2 d802, now the knock on is not working, knock off works tho, tried many things which i found on this site, still doesnt work, so like original parts sometimes doesnt work well with replacement parts. Maybe cause replacement parts arent original perhaps. And for battery life, try greenify if you are rooted, if not rooted disable many bloated apps, and the google service apps which can be seen on settings disabling some really does help in SOT. (if you already know, much apologies). Cheers m8
Knok on is eazy to fix, type in the phone app "3845#*802#" then tap Settings and then update touchscreen firmware, then wait acouple of sec and it should start work...if not make sure you have enabled the feature in the settings app
Now, I already use greenify, amplify too. The real problem are the shutdowns wich are casual.
And the display is original, no doupt here
it doesnt work with that tho thats my problem. How much SOT you get while browsing and youtube? Btw have you enabled the 4k camera feature?

Just see on youtube, Vids about @ Lg g2 disassemble etc, changing lcd and all
I decided to go back to stock rom a few weeks ago after using Lineage, I obviously was an idiot because while the stock rom flashed perfectly as soon as there was an OTA update it went into the bootloop, couldn't flash it as the bootloader is locked.
Tried using ABD fastboot but it wouldn't unlock the bootloader, the mi unlock tool wouldn't do it either.
I now have an EDL cable but can't seem to get the phone into EDL mode to flash it. I connect the cable to the PC, press the button and plug into phone, the phone simply goes boots to the normal charging screen that presents when you plug it in whilst the phone is off. Nothing shows up in device manager etc.
Anyone help me unbrick it?

Not really sure what I've damaged either since it doesnt seem to be a part of the screen or back plate. So not sure if it's worth getting it repaired.
I damaged my phone too yesterday while I was trying to open it so I could unbrick it but I don't care. Having a working phone (the way I want it) is more important than having one with stock Pie in immaculate condition.

Thanks, that was the next step, which did work, but I've damaged it taking it apart. So all a bit pointless in the end!

It's called "middle frame housing/chassis" which holds all the components together like display, motherboard, sub board, battery etc. You have chipped off the plastic bezel/border of the housing that surrounds the display and protect it from breaking during fall.
It will not affect the functionality of the phone but will definitely make a big dent in your pocket if your phone falls from your hand / pocket.
I will suggest you to replace the middle frame as soon as possible and until then use it with extreme care or with a good quality case.
You can find it on Aliexpress or from your local spare parts dealer. It will cost you around 5-7USD.
P.S. : Don't try to do it yourself, get help from a technician(2-3USD) as they separate the lcd and frame using heat of lcd-glass separator machine.

Thanks, it's okay the price they'd charge to replace it would be around £60 here, even if I supplied the part, I can buy a new one for £60ish on ebay so it's not worth it.
I ordered the Note 8, the plan was to pass thr Mi A1 on to someone but I'll just write it off.

£ 60 is too much for this. Here in India I can get it done at just INR 100 which is equivalent to around £ 1.05
