Help! Screen stays red - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I installed stock firmware via Odin and after the phone booted all I can see is a red screen. The phone seems to work however, I can adjust the volume (it makes a noise when I do) and I hear a voice assistant.
I have no idea how this happened. Anyone have an idea?

I'm an idiot. Apparently I installed the wrong firmware, It is working now. Thanks!

G! Screen wont Unlock when pressing menu

Hey, I'm new to the forums...but I've been a long time Lurker
I recently attempted to replace the Digitizer on my German T-Mobile G1. Everything went fine, and was working well except for the external speaker, the phone wouldnt ring at all or make any noise. The earpiece worked fine, just no rings or music. There was also something wrong with the sliding motion, I must not have gotten everything lined up perfectly when i put it back together. So I take it all apart again to "fix", and when I go to do a test, it hangs on the main screen, says press menu to unlock, but nothing happens. Any ideas? Im sure the power button is working, I can turn the phone on no problem. Any help would be appreciated!

No sound, no LED, no vibration. Desperate for help!

I got a HD2 from eBay and got ripped by getting one that has sound disabled; LED disabled and so as vibration. The buyer ran away so you know how it goes...
Here the symptom, the HD2 is functioning like normal other than:
- No sound what so ever: even when pressing the volume up/down button it does not trigger the volume menu
- LED never turns on: both green and orange
- No vibration: tried to play with all possible settings and it never vibrates
- When on the phone, the other end can hear me but I can never hear a thing.
Researched through all forums and I couldn't find anything helpful at all. Any help is appreciated!
try reflashing a stock ROM could be something with the registry keys or manilla files hope this kind helps
I had flashed it with the latest TMO US HD2 ROM as I found out it was a demo TMO US HD2. It is Version 2.13.531.1. And the problem persists.
Anything else I can try? This seems to be a software issue as the functions that aren't working are pretty much within the same category.

[Q] Black screen on samsung galaxy tab 4 problem

I appreciate any responses anyone has to help
Ok so i have my sisters samsung galaxy tab4 ( sm-t230nu ) which she brought to me today.
Her screen went black, lights up and all but it stays black in color. Up down volume buttons work and u can hear them working, power button works, turns screen on and off, TOUCH SCREEN WORKS, on certain areas u can hear the noise it makes when u tap on the screen and apps. I pressed the power button alone for it to restart, it restarts but does not show samsung tab logo or anything at all just lit up black screen. I even went on YouTube to memorize the hard reset sequence of buttons u have to press in order to complete the reset and i did manage to hard reset. But screen is still booting up on a lit black screen. I removed the back cover, unplugged the battery and tried booting it up and still nothing. BTW its full factory, no root roms or anything of the sort. I need help on what could be the problem. Only thing i believe might have caused this was a recent update on the system. My sister said a few days ago it gave her a notification about it and she clicked on yes. I dont know what version of android it had nor which it had updated to. Please help. Tablet is not that old. Thanks. If anything email me directly at [email protected] thanks

Have you tried getting into recovery or download mode? If those show, it's likely fixable. If you can get to recovery mode, it usually shows what firmware is on it. If that works, trying using ODIN to reinstall that firmware in download mode. If not, it sounds like a hardware problem. If it's not that old, it may be under manufacturer warranty still. Good luck.
Try to reseat the LCD cable, if it doesn't work, you may need to change the LCD. Search Ebay for LCD only or full LCD assembly if you're not comfortable to take out the touchscreen.

If tab has warranty claim warranty. I think this is a hardware issue.

OPT working but screen is dead...

new OPT, out of the box, was working normally for like an hour then the screen just turned black
I can see the buttons at the bottom have lights, the phone charges, it vibrates, and I can make calls to it... basically everything seems to be functioning except the screen is just dead...
I'm assuming this is hardware issue? bad screen?
P.S. - i have tried all sort of rebooting methods, safe mode, recovery mode, etc... nothing has worked

priv wont turn on , only led blinks

so after i used auto loader on my priv, everything went successful.but after reboot nothing shows up on the scree. the led is constantly blinking.changing colors .white then three times green. power plus volume up or down doesn't work, neither does both. ps. the mute key is broken so pressing three keys aint an option.computer wont detect the phone so cant push anything from there.
desperately need some help. thank you

Mute key is a must. So if yours is broken ,just open your device. Opening priv is a piece of cake. No screws or anything. You just have to unhinge it.
Then manually press mute ke with a pice of metal.( better if you can get a simple jumper from mobile repair shop)
Hi, I am having the same problem, it blink white,then green 3 times, and nothing . My all buttons are working , but I don't know what to do...please help.
