[Q] Funny Lines down screen - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI
Hope you can help...
When i start my phone i get some coloured lines down my screen they go after a second or so.
I was going to root my phone, when i put it in download mode the lines do not go. Is this faulty hardware or a software thing.....
Problem is i can not read what the screen says in download not etc. (if this really matters, i do not know)
Cheers for you help, ive tried to attach a photo.

Sorry if this should go in Q & A please can a mod move....

Does this only happen in bootscreen/Download mode? Or always, also when booted fully, in homescreen? EDIT: I see it's just for a second at boot. :S
Anyway, take it to the store/warranty or wherever before it's too late. You should be covered by warranty if it's still less that 1/2 years since you haven't rooted.

Get it replaced mate ..!!

I have to say im impressed. I rang Orange UK at 7.30pm Sunday my new phone was delivered at 9.30 am Monday!!

hmmm sounds like your display TLCD screen is dead and or not making
connection .. I don't think any ROM is going to fix that.. you may need to
take it in for service ..
If I understand you correctly.. You do not see anything on the screen
even when “flashing” or after a Hard/soft reset?
Hmm hold down your power-button for 8-10 second, if you heard a beep
And still can’t see anything on the screen, your Phone is booted up fine
and working but your screen or screen connection is dead!!

Take you battery out and then press the camera and power at the same time and then put the battery back in....
Your phone should go in to the boot loader if not the phone need to go in for repair
Same exact thing happened to my phone. I sent it in to HTC and they were really cool about repairing it. All I had to pay for was shipping which was nice because I am not the original buyer of the phone and I'm out of warranty.
that's what i might do is just send it in..
does anyone have the htc number i can call?
i bought the phone off from ebay and the warranty verizon told me ends june 2009..they said they cant do anything since i have it flashed to cricket..
but i know its stuck in the screen after you flash it to a new rom because i can hear it beep and that's when you configure the setting.
Call this number 1-866-449-8358 and tell them your problem. They'll give you the number for the repair center. Call repair center and they'll tell you how to go about sending it in. I don't know what they'll do if yu have a custom ROM on it, when I sent mine in it had a stock one on it.

Please help

I just flashed a new radio and it completed it but now my phone will not reboot at all , ive took the battery out and put it back in and still nothing can someone please help me
1- this is in the wrong forum...
2- you need to give a lot more info. like what phone you have, what rom/radio you are running and what radio you flashed. and what steps exactly you did. exact steps.
have a htc hd2 and i the radio is 2.095103 and i went to 7 zip and extracrted it their after the download went to a 100 percent and then the phone cut off and now nothing , no power
and i have diniks rom
and when i plug it into the computer it makes that noise like its connected but still a black screen
is it a tmobile us hd2??
green and red hard keys??
t mobile UNITED STATES AND YES GREEN AND RED
Ok I hate to be the bearer of bad news but......
if the radio you flashed has .51. in it then your phone is dead.
You may be able to claim it on warranty........ just dont mention flashing anything.....
Really , dang so theirs nothing i can do at all, no tricks . And thank u for trying to help out
Sorry man its gone........ those radios are for the EU Hd2's and will completely screw a US model.....
People have said that they managed to get a warranty replacement........ after all, you woke up in the morning and the phone was dead not your fault right??
if you see what I mean......
your exactly right , i get what your saying..... see the phone was a replacement phone anyways cause the original got stolen and i have 180 days if someting goes wrong
You should be fine then..........
next time just remember....
NO 51 RADIOS!!!!!
Hope it all works out for you.........
i got it taken care of , so even when they get it they wont b able to fix or figure out what is wrong with it right

[Q] xperia mini pro black screen, refuses to boot. help?

About a week ago, maybe less, my xperia mini pro (gingerbread) notification led stopped working even when charging the phone. Thinking it was a software problem, I decided to factory reset it. It didn't solve the problem and I decided to just move on with my life since it isn't that important to me. With a then totally "empty" phone i updated it to ice cream sandwich just for the heck of it. Everything went fine until today.
When I wanted to unlock my phone to check if I had a text message, all it showed was a backlit screen with black on it. The back and menu button also lit up. When somebody called, the ringtone would ring but the screen stayed black. Took the battery out to turn it off and tried to turn it on again. Same thing happened, tried it few more times but nothing changed so I gave up. It didn't even display the sony logo when turning on.
A few hours later, when I try to start it again, it vibrates for a short time, then shows a backlit screen with black on it. Then it goes dark and after a few seconds lights up again. This goes on as an endless loop.
I have tried the SEUS tool. It told me my phone was updated but i tried to reinstall ice cream sandwich anyway, but it failed. And everytime the screen would lit up, the computer would make the sound when a usb is inserted; and when it would turn dark again, the sound when a usb is removed could be heard.
As I can't get into the recovery mode or any other mode I am at a loss on what I can try next.
At first I thought it might be the flex that was the problem but now I'm not so sure anymore.
The FUNNY part is that it happened today, TWO days after the 1 year warranty ended.
What options do I have?
Hope anyone can help me.

Try flashing a stock Firmware using Flashtools(if you don´t know how look at Tutorials Section)
If it doesn´t help, then is a Hardware Problem
That's really hard that the warranty just ended. Maybe you could ask a local carrier if sony would be so nice to repair it under warranty because I think it is a hardware problem and if your bootloader is locked and you never rooted and tried some things, don't try to flash the stock rom first, better ask sony :good:
If they won't do it, flash stock gingerbread rom and try to boot it again. But as you tell it it's hardware related

I was hoping it isn't hardware related, but you're the 3rd person now who told me that it is. I never rooted or anything, so I'll just go to the sony service center then. Hopefully they'll be so nice to give a little extension of the warranty. Hahah.
Thank you for replying.
The solution is Getting Flashtool,installing ADB Drivers,Downloading stock Firmware and flashing.
But if you don't want to try,Taking it to SONY would be the solution.
If your warranty is over,then the service center guys charge a lot :crying:
Goodluck :good: And you could ask an experienced guy in your area to help you flash!
:good:
How is it that you have only a one-year varranty? The carrier varranty is usually one year only, that is true, but the manufacturer varranty, at least in Poland, is 2 years mandatory. And it's written in varranty papers included in the box
Double check before you pay
Take out your battery fir a while
Then try to install a proper kernel and flash a stock rom with flashtool

Those are the advantages of being in the EU, which made it mandatory to have 2 yrs of warranty (1 by builder 1by re-seller i think), that doesn't work outside
I had the exact same thing happen to me. It happened a couple of weeks after I upgraded it to the official ICS. First I thought it was a hardware problem since my phone had fallen the previous day. I decided to try and do a software repair via PC companion which didn't help.
So, further convinced that it was a hardware problem, I brought it to the shop where I got the phone (it was still under warranty). They simply downgraded the software to GB. Problem solved.

man i'm sorry , but you have bricked Screen !
Hi
What do you want to do?
If your screen is broken, you could "do" something via ADB, but not so much.
PERHAPS you could delete your lockscreen (you can do, search), make the device boot wisthout sim cadr (=no pin), install (adb install) something like airdroid or similar (i do not know such apps), launch it (inside ADB with "am" + something) and hope you can "use" your phone via PC.
Ok looks more like SCI-FI!

My friend has a Mini Pro with broken lcd , he broke it 6 months back but he still manages to use till now with out any problem....
try flashing custom kernel and a new ROM , If that doesnt help.... u have to go to customer care..
Re:all
thanks all, but i'm sure that lcd is fine (maybe), because, before that (suddenly restart) my phone is allready fine with all function normally (although my lcd is broken but touch function is normal). until restart happen, my phone was not start up again. in lcd i see blank, no logo and anything. just vibrate 2 times. in that condition i think, i can make a call for test but the warning from sim operator said that my phone was turn off.

for Publiuss, i hope you can give me tutorial how to controllling my phone via pc in condition my phone like now.
maybe use the usb cable to know that my phone (until flashing rom or kernel) was working or not, and if i can getting that, means, my phone trouble in lcd.
i will keep out for cust care if i can solving my trouble by self, because maybe if i have to go cust care they will charge me cost not much different with new buying this phone.

Well Man i say is not software problem. If you flash stock firms, custom roms and kernels you manipulate all the system if the phone dont turn on is a ardware problem. Search a tuto how to open you phone and see if dont have nothing wrong. The conection screen "flex".you see all ok buy a new screen on eBay. Try. After all that phone is very important for you.
Press thnks if I helped to your mind.
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
actually i had the exact same (or similar) problem after 6 months of ownership.
1) broken screen, dropped phone several times, everything still works no trouble
2) random restarts
3) boot problems, restarts got more frequent
4) can no longer boot, only a lit black screen, no SE logo
Does that sound familiar?
I understand it could be a HW problem but the only thing I can think of is the digitaliser/screen. Try to replace that and see far you get, you can find a replacement cheap from ebay (they come free with tools) and also disassembly guides are on ifixit
please post your results!!
Mini Pro screen is really vulnerable, so even a little defect can cause further issues.
I had a Mini Pro which its screen cracked when I dropped it, it was fully functionable for weeks then one Friday touchscreen didn't response anymore.
I visited a technician and paid about 4,000 Philippine pesos to get it fixed.
Second defect happened after I came back to Korea, when I dropped it toward the wooden frame of my bed.
At first the screen had several purple horizontal lines, then soon it completely blacked out.
It still exists inside my drawer, and since I loved its keypad, I recently ordered $20 screen set in Aliexpress.
I have a question: Did you fix your device after writing this thread? Was the problem related only with the screen?

Demigod Crash Handler LG v10

Hi, somebody knows what to do in this situations? I am really without hope. I was texting on whatsapp and phone freeze for 5 minutes. I removed battery and try to reboot and It appeared this screen and only this screen. Cant go to recovery but I can go to download mode, I tried to refubrish some firmware with LGUP but the program give me an error. In download mode I see the phone on lg bridge but if I use lg tool flash it don't see it. I hope in some advice. Thanks
Did you try upgrade instead refurbish kdz ? Hope make alive you're mob.
i've tried all... upgrade, refurbish, upgrade fota. Always error. When I put it in the congelator fro 3-5 minutes seem better but it gave me always error, instead after a while out the congelator it wont boot up at all...

did you try lg bridge => update error recovery option. it will redownload the firmware and install freshly.
I tried and succesfull, but on reboot go on bootloop and nothing change (its disappeard green screen at least). Now I think Its a bootloop problem and so its fu**ed up. So frustrating
Well i got the same green screen and the bootloop also just some minutes ago. I can get into download mode, but my pc wont recognize the phone at all. After some time it will continue to bootloop from download mode also. After some cooling the phone boots into android, but after seconds it freezes and starts to bootloop.
Any idea what i could do with the phone to fix it? Im out of warranty, so it would cost too much to send it in to the repair shop.
same problem with me please help
How far out of warranty? LG's been taking care of people 18+ months out in some cases.
I bought my phone some 15 months ago. So i contacted LG and they offered a free check for the phone. If it is bootlooping they will try to repair it for free. If not reparable the store where i bought the phone will compensate me. Hope it all goes well.
I got this yesterday while playing a game. My sense is some thermal-related hardware failure.
My paranoid side is curious about the timing. I once had a VCR that broke THE DAY my warranty ran out. I'll update when I learn how T-Mobile deals with this, but I'm paying for insurance--so I may get a replacement (and another 15 months or so until the replacement "times out"?).
same problem here too :crying:

same here since today!!! wtf never heard about it before
same here today
It's a bootloop guys. LG will most likely give you a repair even if out of warranty, you just need proof of purchase (I bought mine online so I just sent them the confirmation email).
In Youtube there are plenty of videos that claims they have fixed the bootloop issue by applying thermal paste or pads and comments in that videos prove it shurity. I am also interested to purchase lg v10 but after seeing this kind of issues i m little bit scared
same here .yesterday using facebook and then..boom...restart....bootloop....some time starts and freezes at 5 minutes. some times green screen. i enter download mode and reinstall firmaware but same story
Hello everybody !
Anybody have solve this problem?
I have the same green screen demi god handler.:crying:
When he's connect on PC, it is in Qualcomm HS USB mode.
Help us Please.:good:
Same problem here. I think it is bootloop and as much as I know only permanent solution is to replace the motherboard. But I have a problem about it, does anyone have any idea about the models of LG v10, since it has too many models, h960A, H960AY, H960TR etc. And mine is H960A but if i replace motherboard myself, should the new motherboard also be H960A or doesn't it matter?
and here comes one more ...
Written on messenger when it hung. Restarted and displayed the logo to become green.
Luckily, the phone is 11 months old. I miss it already, especially the camera
Same here today...
