Has it been dropped or wet? Have you installed any new app or updated anything before this?
Try pulling the battery, putting it back in, leaving it off. Then press and hold the volume+, home, and power button until the phone boots into recovery and do a factory reset ****CAUTION. ... YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN BACKED UP VIA SD CARD OR SYNCED TO YOUR SAMSUNG/GOOGLE ACCOUNT ****
hope that helps

it was dropped but in a spigen tough armor case --- perfect condition no visable damage or anything dropped from about 2 feet --- no water damage --- cannot boot into recovery that's why I figured it was hardware however it did boot once into safe mode but I cannot replicate that ---- I'm going to go to T-Mobile after work, think they will replace it under warranty?
Hard to say if it has been dropped. However with no visible damage, something is very well damaged on the inside.
It should be able resist that kind of blow though.
Have you tried to get into download mode?

was just able to get into download mode --- then from there i rebooted into recovery and selected reboot... phone booted up normally but now crashed and went back to that snowy screen ---- something is fubar inside there im afraid
Try to get back into recovery and factory reset if you have no other choice.
If you are near a computer you could try to backup the data on there real quick with keis or something, but I doubt it will be able to read your phone if it won't boot. Bleh

Thanks for asking... I have not gotten it into recovery again. All my data is synced so I'm not worried about that. I've been with tmobile almost 15 years so I'm going to go there after work and see if theyll just give me a new phone.
Wow, that's scary. Those uncontrolled things that just happened. A fall caused internal damage. Hmm. I lost my galaxy S1 because of a bug. Good luck with this.

Hi Nate,
I have the exact same issue , been like this for a few days now. Not been dropped badly and phone is in a solid cover. I have been to my service provider and they are clueless. Have you been able to get to the bottom of the problem or fix the phone? Thanks. Steve
Sounds like hardware at first. However, never heard of hardware issue causing snowy screen. That sounds more like an app or malware. Be it my first actual encounter with it on android.
If you can get to Odin mode reflash the tar file, that will at least clear out any system partition issues. Also will flash stock recovery. Then I'd try getting into stock recovery to wipe data.

The screen connector is the culprit.. As it's supposed to touch only the side break fix of the circuit... It's the small opening or power inlet socket where you charge the phone.. The technician repair should rectify it..I got this game problem a few days ago.. Researched and found that this was the main culprit for this particular white fuzzy distorted
screen
solution?

This can be caused by a handful of reasons...
The following YouTube video may work for you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2tzUkX8SQ4
If not, then it's either:
1) Defective/Faulty LCD Display Assembly.
2) A bad Connection between the LCD Ribbon to the Mainboard/Motherboard.
3) Defective/Faulty Mainboard/Motherboard itself.
That's the best I can provide you as I don't physically have your device.
The following link does have various Guides/Tutorials regarding almost anything for the Galaxy S5 device that may come in handy for you.

At one point in time, about a month ago, I had my phone running exactly how I wanted it to. Successfully flashed to 2.1, had the Elemental theme going, installed xRecovery, even changed the boot screen around. Problems started coming when I dropped my phone. Camera stopped working, fine I can deal with that. But then I got tired of the Elemental theme, so I attempted to switch to the themes. I think I went back and forth between two themes and eventually, one worked. Though I was unhappy that the theme was really buggy. I think I tried another theme after that and eventually all I got on my phone screen after a reboot was a white screen with the android status bar. Couldn't touch it, couldn't move it, all functionality stripped, it was just there.
So I'm pretty much forced to install 2.1 on it again. I went through flashing procedures like normal, though, when I unplug the USB cord and turn on my phone, I am greeted with the "Sony Ericsson" screen and this lovely screen seconds after.

after a couple of seconds, the screen goes away and it goes back to the SE screen and it sits there... FOREVER. So what am I forced to do at this point? I flash back to 1.6 from gen0n's video that I had downloaded before and pretty much, its the only ROM that works on my phone now.
I attempted to look for other ROMs but almost every single one requires you to have xRecovery and I can't really do that on 1.6 :/
Anyone have any idea what this mystery screen means? I suppose it has something to do with my broken camera... does it mean I can't ever have 2.1 on my phone again?
Hey man you have to take your phone back to your carrier (like At&t) and hopefully you bought insurance so they can send you another phone then you can flash any rom you want or send it to Sony Ericsson especially since you dropped it and you will most likely have to pay for the repair. But it'll be worth it. Nothing's worse than an x10 stuck on 1.6 firmware. Makes me sick just thinking about it. Anyways just call your cell phone provider and ask about it. Maybe u can try using PC companion to flash official firmware but idk.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Hey thanks for the reply,
Unfortunately, I didn't buy insurance :/ but I suppose i'll contact SE and see how much the repair would be and how long it would take.
Hey, the only thing worse than being stuck on 1.6 is being stuck on 1.6 without a camera Im not undermining your statement though, 1.6 is pretty ****ty, but stable enough for me to text and call.
Just for the General info of everyone,
I just got off the phone with SE, and apparently they have a flat rate of $185 for physical damage to the phone. Its kind of funny because the address the guy gave wasn't even to SE, it was to some "PTS Electronics" place.
Yeah, I'll probably end up sending it in but if they want to charge me that much because there is physical damage then I don't think I'll end up paying it. First off because I dont have the money and second, because I only paid $50 for the phone so I think it dumb paying 3 times the phone to get it fixed.
Alright, so I managed to fix the phone myself.
Got the right tools and took the phone apart, it appears that the camera wasn't broken at all, just the connector was disconnected ever so slightly because of the drop. A simple re-seating of the camera fixed it right up.
Talk about saving yourself money! If I would not have bothered to check if the reason for the camera not working was because it was really broken or not, I would of sent my phone in and payed $185 (plus shipping) for someone to do what I did in 5 mins.
So with that, I highly suggest if you think your phone is physically broken or has hardware problem, open it up and take a look for yourself and make sure things are really out of your hands.
Wow lol. That's amazing. I hope u can flash Roms now. Good luck

Just for your own information, I have seen that screen on every x10 I have flashed 2.1 on. Its generally nothing to do with the camera at all. Its a picture word play. Its flashing your phone... get it?

Its not a huge deal but I got this Galaxy S2 from Target on a 2 year upgrade and these pics came on the phone.
This was used, the EXIF data was form Oct. 6, 2011, over a month ago
This phone didnt come with a 8GB Sim card, which it should. He took the card and returned the phone. Im mad because I paid for a new phone and ended getting some used phone with scratches on the bottom microphone area.
I plugged my phone in and noticed he left this photo on my phone:

Why are they selling used/refurbs and claiming theyre new? Scumbags dude...AT&T wont give me an new one, I have to go through Target again. I dont want another used phone that I dont know about...is there any way to check if its been used again?
Open up the box and check it out? 8gb microsd cards aren't included either. As far as I know, the only things in the box are the phone itself, battery, USB cable, wall plug, and the usual pamphlets/manuals.
Was there plastic on the front and back, and why do you think the gs2 comes with an 8gb card?
Does the pic have a GPS stamp? Go to the guy's house. LOL!
8gig card? It comes with memory built it.

AT&T will tell you to take it back to Target. I would have brought it back immediately. Take it back and tell them you want a new one. They aren't supposed to be selling returned phones in the first place.

While you're at the store, have them power it up. Then go to settings/about phone. Scroll to bottom and check "uptime". It should say 0. Also, a fresh out of the box SGS2 should load the set up wizard when powered on.

Uptime is just time since last boot, any phone that was off will say basically 0 if you get there fast enough. Had this phone over a month:
If you factory reset the phone in settings you will get the wizard on next boot, but internal SD is not wiped.
Check the vinyl on the screen warning about texting and driving, it should have little to no bubbling, but its near impossible to put back on like that.

Lol sorry guys. I put my old Inspire SD card in the galaxy and forgot it didn't come with its own, so my fault on that one. However the phone came with perfect wrapping and the "don't text and drive" sticker as well as the sticker on the battery cover. It also booted up asking me to sign in my Google account as if the phone was from the factory but that guys face was still loaded onto my phone. The phone was returned and obviously re packaged.
Anyway I got a new phone and its fine

I think your best bet is re-attempting to flash a SBF using RSD Lite. Try with RSD Lite 5.6 (it can be downloaded from here).
If you are able to flash the SBF successfully, you may end up in a boot loop. To resolve that, get into Recovery and do a wipe data / wipe cache.
That must be the same with Sensation, if you flash something new, you need to (edit: deleted).
If you can get into android recovery format system, format cache, format data then try and run your sbf. you must clear out cm7 prior to sbf.
Thanks for the advice, but the battery on the phone died! Is there a way to charge it?
USB trick...
I did all of this, then installed the SBF. Here are some screenshots of my progress.

Didnt realize you had already done all of what i posted in your other thread. That's why you got kindof bashed on for making two of the same thread Saying it failed is actual normal in most cases. Mine always says it fails but always works. Reboot your phone and see what happens.
After using the sbf, I reboot the phone and for the first time it looks like it might actually boot up. It gets to the "Sprint" screen, Where it says "Welcome to Now" once it shows "Now" the phone hangs there, then goes back to the Motorola screen. Not much luck here so far.. :/

You would have to do the usb trick. Take an old usb cable, cut the opposite end off and strip the wire slightly. Place the positive wire on the positive panel on the phone, and the negative on the negative. Plug it into your AC adapter and it'll charge. Theres videos on how to properly do this on youtube. But its really not hard.
Oh, so it's like charging a car battery? Seems simple enough. I wish these wires weren't so damn small though! xD

It will probably work, I just don't want your battery to explode so I opted for less power and longer charge time to be safe.

I had the same **** happen to mine just the other day, were you unlocked before and used any 2.3.5 rom. I was on mofish, then went to cm9, wifi broke relocked and tried to sbf but nothing but boot loops, tried cm7 but the only way i could get mine to work had to unlock again using fastboot, install jokers cwm v4, and i had to flash, skinny, shadow our mofish again that is the only way it would boot and work, order a replacement i think they did something in the new software build messing with the bootloader

I charged my phone over night and used it this morning, I got into work an left it in the office came back a couple of hours later and saw I had a message (led light flashing) tried to unlock it and it wouldnt wake. So i decided to take the battery out and reboot it and after I did that it wouldnt turn on at all. I've left it all day and came home and tried to put it on charge because i thought maybe somehow the battery was drained. Im not sure if its charging because the rom I use (liquid smooth) doesn't use the led light when charging. I don't know if it could be the power button. Is there anything i can do before sending it off to be fixed? I have tried connecting it to the computer aswell but without it being on the computer doesnt recognise anything it connected.

The sudden death issue is covered by warranty.
The internal SD dies and they have no way to know you flashed / rooted it unless they really wanted too.
You should be okay, just a little unlucky
Make sure to update your device to the latest firmwares that include the SDS patch to avoid further problems.

Well if you can`t even go into download mode then it`s unlikely they will even know that you rooted your phone. Just play dumb and do not mention that you rooted your phone. Just say that it died without a reason. Issues like yours do happen even on old Stock Samsung Firmware without Root because of the SD issue.

yes you're right things do break and go wrong, just seems weird that I wasn't using it at the time and maybe a text message just set it off. Is there anyway i could possibly salvage anything on my sd card? or will that be alright? I don't want to lose all my pictures and videos.
If you can't get the phone into download or recovery mode then no the internal sd card is fried, the only files you can retrieve will be from the external sd or backups if you have any... sorry.

Fingerprint recognition seems much better. You have to redo it after update therefore it seems they changed something there.
Looks that wifi has larger battery consumption, maybe have to do a factory reset somewhere today.

I had previously defined 4 fingers for fingerprint reader so after the update those were gone and I could only re-define 1 new finger. Also had issues storing a new wifi password.
Ended up resetting the phone and all is well now.
Does updating remove the root from the phone if you have it rooted?
is there a way to update via twrp?

I didn't lose root when I updated.
[Update] I thought I had updated but actually it didn't. Apologies. Not sure whether you'll lose root.
5% battery drain in 6 six hours! Wow!
This has fixed my FP delayed unlock issue! Could not be happier right now! Battery life however not tested yet as I've had to reinstall all the apps which is killing it... Here's hoping 5% battery drop in 6 hrs is true! Well done devs!
I took it off the charger ~13hrs ago (4am) and so far i still got 60% battery left with 2 hrs 10 min SOT as of now.

You'd be best to tell us that then!
I'm currently using darksense 1.0, which I find best for me. If the update has significant improvements I'll change back...

It comes as a zip?! Don't you need to revert back to stock & then search for update in settings? (About phone menu)
I had to factory reset for the last one to work, thought this one might install. I'm not rooted and using elephone stock ROM. So I shouldn't need a factory reset by rights.

I had the same problem of the message "corrupted update.zip" at the time of reboot. In an other forum someone mentioned that one has to remove the SD-card and put the SIM in to that position. It is actually enough to pull out the tray with the SIM and SD card and to (re-)initiate the update. I do not know why but it seems that at time of startup the update.zip is searched for at the wrong location if a SD card is inserted. After that the update process worked fine for me and up to now, there was no need to do a factory reset. BTW Fingerprint unlock works fine and battery life seems to be improved indeed.
So just pop out the tray with the phone running and then install the update?

Well more or less... You should obviously go for the safe eject function for the SD-card in the storage settings, switch the phone off, pop out the tray, reboot, go to the update settings an then initiate the update... that worked for me.
Looking like a factory reset after all. Installed the update but FP scanner not playing fair. Can't add prints until I delete some but can't get to them.
