Weird screen, not broken (i think) help - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My sm-t235y was working fine, plug charger 10 minutes... unplug it... and when i use it screen went all vertical lines moving like water.... check picture and video please... what do you think? screen was not hit in any way...
https://youtu.be/kNbbJz2EtJU
what do you think?
thanx in advance

Wally,
that does not look good
do you have a custom recovery installed? If so did you do the basics, wipe cache and dalvik cache?
If you do have a custom recovery installed did you make your full backup when the tab was functioning correctly?
Did you root and apply any modifications? What is the most recent app you installed prior to this problem ?
Again if you do have a custom recovery installed and made a full backup of your working rom, try using the advanced recovery options to
restore your /system partition only. that looks like your boot animation file in /system/media got corrupted/broken.
I couldn't tell if the startup audio was working when viewing the video, is it?
And lastly do you achieve boot through to home screen or do you just get that squiggly blah and then pppppppbbbbttttttt ?

Hi Moonbutt
do you have a custom recovery installed?
Yes TWRP
If so did you do the basics, wipe cache and dalvik cache?
Cant use recovery.... screen is this way all time, with key combination can enter to recovery but cant see nothing
Did you root and apply any modifications?
all mods were done 4 month ago... all working great
What is the most recent app you installed prior to this problem ?
didnt install any app in 1 month...
I couldn't tell if the startup audio was working when viewing the video, is it?
It boots and enter system.... its a 4g so i can hear whatsapp and other apps working... seems to be a screen problem...
thanx

Wally,
Don't use the button combo to boot into recovery, boot up as normal and plug your tab into pc and run
adb reboot recovery, just to be sure that you are in recovery.
If the screen is still the same
crack open the tab and check the screen connector ribbon, your screen problem is all hardware (almost positive anyway).

thanx will try

[Q] [q] heelp mee pleaase !!

heei guys .
half a year before I bought the zte blade, and so far it worked well.
but suddenly it stops working ..
whenever I try my cell phone goes immediately to start the red "back" button on (bright red) and then there's the green robot android, then the blue zte intro and then it all over again ..
I have not changed my zte (clockwork, rom)
I know myself well not so good ..
would be really nice if someone could help me ..
I do not know what to do ..!!!
or is it maybe bricked ?!
thanks ..
Its not bricked as it still boots up.
When exactly does the phone crash - when you make a call, start an app, or just automatically reboots?
Did you install a new app just before this started happening?
Is the phone rooted?
Are you sure the battery is ok? Try starting phone with charger plugged in.
ouh ..
yes when i switch the phone on the android boot logo cames then the (blue) zte intro .. and then the zte intro comes again and again ...
noo ..
aahm ? i dont do anything with the pc and the zte ..
so i think i dont root it or something ..
one time there was "ftm" on the screen (after it had this problem).. but i didnt know what this is ..
thank you in front off !!!
but i didnt came anymore to the homescreen , or lock screen
Try booting into recovery and clear the cache? I remember my old G1 did the same thing, and after clearing the system cache it worked.
To boot into recovery i think you keep hold of volume down when turning the device on.
If that doesn't work you could wipe the device, but you'll loose everything on it then.

The issue you have is this, the rom that has been flashed to the phone is for Gen 2, but the phone is still set on Gen 1.
You'll need to boot into recovery and perform a restore, or flash Ginger stir Fry Rom, then the phone will work.

Solutions depend on
-- whether or not u have custom recovery installed ,
-- whether or not fastboot is enabled in your device. (It isn't enabled only in stock gen2 firmware)
-- whether or not u have rooted and made changes to system partition.
Possible solutions
-- If u have custom recovery installed then format (= wipe data/factory reset) the device from the recovery.
Power off the device. Then by holding volume down power on the device. This takes u into custom recovery menu if it is installed. If custom recovery isn't installed this takes you to FTM MODE.
-- If u have fastboot enabled then use this method to format ur device. Power off the device. Then hold volume up and power on the device. Here the device should stay at green android logo forever if fastboot is enabled. This is fastboot mode. Now install zte USB drivers in PC and connect phone in fastboot mode to PC. It will install the software. Now in device manager u shouldn't see any android named devices with yellow unrecognised format. Then use fastboot windows tools from command prompt. The command to format tthe device is
fastboot erase userdata
-- if the above processes didn't work then using tpt is recommended way. U can flash complete low level device firmware using tpt. U can flash either a recovery alone to hard reset. Or u can flash a complete rom. On bit searching at modaco u will get more information regarding everything.

THANK YOU !!
but i dont understand that things .. ?!
can you explain me your answer for people do not understand much of it ?
Download gen1 to gen2 (there is a download link in this section) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258855
Unzip the file and place the image ( the image is called image, not gen1 to gen2) on the root of your sd card (ideally it is best to do this on a pc)
Also download and place the Rom you wish to use on the root of your SD card (cyanogenMod 7.1.0 stable release works well) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297776
DO NOT UNZIP THE ROM at this stage.
Put the SD card back into the phone.
Power off the phone, hold menu & vol + (up) & power at the same time, you should see some green writing, wait until it is finished (well done your phone is now gen2)
You should now arrive at the clockwork recovery screen, if not power off the phone, then hold vol - (down) and power (together), clockwork will boot.
Now using clockwork recovery, clear data/factory reset, then install your rom from the zip, that is all there is to it, obviously you'll have to enter your login details to use the market and sync your contacts etc, but your phone should now be working.
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup.
Goodluck

I'm having this issue too
Just last night I FINALLY rooted my phone. An hour or so later, I installed Beats Audio Installer Root v.2.3.2.1 AdFree_Released by HPR.apk. I had already done Titanium Backup before trying to install this. I ok'd the reboot, and have been watching a bootloop ever since. I can go into recovery, and bootloader. I have already tried to wipe cache, and a factory reset...with no luck. I don't know how to get to my backup I made, and I'm out of ideas.

go to recovery mode and wipe data... nor the best to cleanup with flashing one more time with the fresh room.
This beats Audio Installer seems a spam application, mine using Player Pro for a nice and clear audio player.

How to unbrick Motorola Defy XT535
Hello android geeks,
Please help me
Scenario
1. i was using chinese ics rom in my defy xt535. due to more problems with that rom, i flashed with Gingerbread rom. But i forge to wipe partition data before flashing . so i was unable to pass beyond red m logo
2. when i tried to enter recovery menu. i got a blank screen with green android with yellow exclamation mark within white triangle
3. again i flashed with chinese ics , again without clearing partition data (because i am not able to access recovery mode). now i am able to enter android , But touch screen is not working
What I have tried
1. I tried erasing phone data using Wondershare mobile transfer, but i failed as it is possible only if I enable USB debugging. sadly i cannot enable usb debugging as my touch screen is not working
Advantages
1. I can access bootloader (white screen) by pressing power button and up button
2. I can able to pass beyond moto logo, which is a good sign that the phone can be saved
Disadvantages
1. Unable to enter recovery mode (Yellow exclamation mark)
2. Touch screen is NOT working, so not able to enable usb debugging
Doubts
1. How to check whether my touch screen problem is software oriented or hardware oriented?
2. What is the method to completely erase phone data without entering recovery mode, no root, and without touch screen functionality?
3. Is there any way to install recovery menu without root function and without touch screen function?
4. My idea is to completely erase all the phone data and flashing it with gingerbread rom? Is it right or is there any other alternatives?
Things I have
1. Bricked Defy XT535
2. Laptop and PC with windows 7
3. USB cable
4. RSD Lite
5. SUTLR
6. Patch files to root Defy XT535
7. Chinese ICS ROM
8. Gingerbread ROM
9. Wondershare Mobile transfer
If you feel i have missed few details, please notify me
I am one among the few indian XT535ians, please help me to save the rugged device

thank you

Stuck on LG logo

Hi, today for the first time I tried to flash a custom rom
at the ROM installation guide it said that I must have TWRP 2.7, so I installed that and wiped Dalvik cache, cache, system and data.
Did not touch internal storage.
I rebooted because I felt kinda lost at the baseband part. but now it's stuck on the LG logo, with the LED light working with rainbow colors (like the phone always does when I turn it on, but it has no OS now..)
I tried getting into recovery/download mode with no success, what can I do now?
How can I get back into recovery mode?
Hope someone can help :fingers-crossed: Thanks!

make sure your phone is powered off entirely and then
How To Reboot Recovery - LG G2
1.Turn your phone off.
2.Press volume down and power button until the LG logo comes on screen
3.Let go of both buttons
4.Hold the volume down and power buttons again until you see the "hard reset screen"
5.Press power once and then power again to confirm. The screen says it will reset your device but it will not as long as you have a custom recovery installed.
6.Your custom recovery should appear on screen.
If that doesn't work then you are going to have to go back to stock
I tried going back to stock but no success, the software is not recognizing the phone...
I also looked for videos on youtube, but couldn't find someone with simillar problem to mine.
Nevermind, figured it out.

If you don't mind. What did it for you? Once I install CWM or TWRP, I can boot to recovery by cannot get the system to boot - EVER - without getting stuck at the LG LOGO. The only way I can recover at that point is to use the LGFlashTool and start from scratch.
Thanks!

OP2 Powers ON Automatically into Recovery

Hello Fellows,
First I'd like to explain my situation in details.
my phone fell while i was walking on the street and it got some dirt on it, so ( foolishly ) I decided to clean it.... and yeah... i washed my phone like washing a dish... i like rinsed the phone in water and in other cleaning liquids for no more than 3 seconds it was all quick thingy... anyway after washing it.... i directly powered it ON and it powered but the screen was OFF ( so i decided to power it OFF, solder it and to remove any clues of water inside on the board or something... after that i used a hairdryer ( which is not recommended ) but i used it at a descent distance so that no harm would be caused to the board... as i was only subjecting air to let water if any existed to dry..
i put the phone in rise and kept it for 1 day... after 1 day i wanted to check out how stuff went.. so i powered it ON and the screen actually turned ON and the vibrator, even the hardware back-light lighted up perfectly but here's the problem I'm facing.
the phone only boots into TWRP 3.1.0.0 no matter what i do.. things i tried:
1- flashed some ROM, through TWRP
2- used "Fixed Contexts" in TWRP
3- Repair File System "System partition" through TWRP
4- used file manager inside TWRP and checked if the internal storage is working and indeed i can show all my files, through TWRP
5- also used the file manager to access "System" Partition and everything was there, through TWRP
6- change File System into EXT4 "System partition" through TWRP
7- Resize File System "System partition" through TWRP
8- Wiping all Partitions "Excluding the internal storage"
and NON WORKED..
note that whenever i attempt to flash a ROM the result shows successful with no errors ..
so whats the problem in here?
i have a guess but i need help in order to apply it.. i think the VOL- is pressed and stuck somehow Electrically on the board ( but no physically as i can press the volume down and hear its tap or whatever you call it.. i even managed to boot into fast-boot and it worked.
is there anyway i can disable the vol- button temporary to see if its causing the problem?
the only thing is i cant see my ROM booting... not even the boot animation showing... just the boot-loader and automatically it goes into the recovery
also i have kernel log attached below followed by the recovery log
EDIT: i also forgot to mention that my PC recognize the phone and i have access to my internal storage.. no problems with transfer speed as well
after tons of attempts and searching online and flashing stuff and blablabla... (i flashed every recovery image op2 support )
FINALLY
I found the solution my self, and everything is back to normal...
the phone was stuck at the early stage of the booting process and maybe couldn't find the boot image in order to boot up the android OS, so all i did was i plugged in the phone into the PC, i started everything in fastboot mode on phone and on PC then i just sent the following command to my phone.
Code:
fastboot continue
fastboot then(meaning after the command) wasnt able to recognize the phone anymore so i knew that its now trying to search for partitions other than recovery.. i waited like 10 seconds and booom it booted into the best ROM i've ever used ( and actually missed ) which is Official RR from our great maintainer "nicesoni_ash"
P.S: the vol- as i said was really stuck and i noticed it not working while on RR ROM, so i just clicked it many times and tried mixing vol+ with vol- .. after many many attempts vol- worked and i then rebooted to make sure if everything is back to normal and no recovery auto boots and indeed it smoothly booted up :laugh:
thanks a lot for all who tried to help out in here or on oneplus forums :highfive:

Did you try reverting to stock ?
Try getting files from here..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863
I would consider it as bricked, after all attempts failed and go with the unbrick guide here on xda or oneplus forums, maybe this way it can be ressurected.
You probably have already backed up your data..
Damn, that hurts..

hello bro, i updated a magisk module v4android and when i reboot, it boots up in twrp. and since then it keeps booting into twrp. So, i used fastboot continue and when it boot int the home i deleted that module.
but fastboot continue only works once. After that if i switch-off and switch-on the phone, it goes into twrp. it needs fastboot continue everytime.
please provide me a permanent solution. few other users are facing this too. plz reply i'm waiting.
Hey,
with the help of some others in a Discord server (thanks @thesanjayp#6251 on discord) i managed to find the issue. Appearantly there was a change in /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc for some reason. There was a similar problem on the old LG Optimus G Pro which i owned, so i remembered this.
As I'm not sure if we can just wipe the partition or not, i got a working misc.img attached.
In any terminal (adb shell, twrp terminal or an terminal app in a rom) make sure you have su rights, and then execute the following command:
Code:
dd if=/path/to/misc.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc
Make sure to adapt the path to the misc.img though to the location you saved it to.
The misc.img I used is attached to this post.
PS: Im not responsible for any broken phones if this didnt work for you.
