I have an old Note 5 lying around with a cracked screen. Not worth using except as a backup, not worth selling. I had a great idea: use it as a webcam!
I downloaded droidcam, used it a few times, forgot all about it. Until yesterday.
I turned on the phone and the screen was as in the attachment. I used Android Control to mirror the screen to my PC (effortlessly) and make sure the phone was actually working. I figured that the last time I used the phone, I had actually left the phone connected to droidcam for a long time (forgot about it) and it may have done something to the display driver or some such. No biggie, I'll just reflash, maybe it'll solve the problem, maybe not.
After some struggle, got the phone into download mode and used Odin to attempt to flash 3 different firmwares, all for my SM-920 XSG (UAE firmware). The first time it made it all the way to the end when it failed to write. The other two fail early on. I even attempted to flash a PIT, which worked and then everything failed after just as fast as before the PIT flashing.
So, anyone have any idea what's wrong with the phone's screen? It was working before and literally had been left alone on a table undisturbed. Also, it would be nice to unbrick the phone, so that I can donate it (as a working phone sans screen) or at least try to sell it online to someone who would fix the screen (or a local shop).

You don't tell me nevermind

[Q] Is my Vibrant "Bricked"?

Hello, all.
Well .. I don´t know where to start, but I know that I am very sad. Last Saturday, I went first use ODIN to return the original version of Android on my gadget. Apparently, everything went according to the tutorials forum and XDA initially ODIN began updating.
I don´t know why, at the first stage of the upgrade, the Vibrant display stayed with color pink and stopped updating. I waited for about 30 minutes and nothing changed Vibrant and not restarted.
I decided to restart it manually and got the screen below.

}
From that moment on my computer (Windows 7) did not recognize the more Vibrant via USB. Likewise, I can not leave it in download mode (I've tried everything). It is as if the USB does not recognize anything...
I ask the more experienced here: You can still retrieve it? I'm in Brazil and apparently they will not support this case, even though I pay for it.
Please can you help me?
Sure.
I got the same problem with U. The same screen, can't enter the download mode. Is there anybody know how to solve this problem>? One more question, can T-mobile repair that?
Same Here
I got the same screen when I tried to flash back to stock from eugene373's froyo rom. Any help for us noobs would be really appreciated.
Any one have this problem pm me im sure I can walk u thru this

[Q] Flashing Basics, who can tell?

HI,
After flashing a numerous HTC HD2 and Note N7000 i got now stuck with a Chinese Clone.
I flashed a lot of ROM on this phone and finally i got one working with playstore and working IMEI (which disappeared after the first flash)
I probably made a mistake to choos Format All in SP Flashtool and flashed the latest ROM that was working. All went fine and he started.
Then something strange happened. The whole touchscreen is working but on the wrong places, i can activate all menu's etc. But i have to click in the middle to get up and the back and menu touch are just on the screen not on the bottom.

Looking at flash tool it has a warning with manually format that calibration could be lost, is that what happend ?
I tried numerous other roms the install and work but not the touchscreen.
I found out which displaydriver i got (1-nt35590_hd720_dsi_cmd_truly) but no corresponding ROMS for my phone but ROM for other phone
Can somebody tell me if they should be mergable? Or how to flash the calibrationdata ? I inserted other nvram.img files with succes to get an IMEI. Is there a files i have to insert to get the correct LCD/Touchscreendriver?
I know that there are 2 preloader type that make my phone alive. After reading many hours i suspect that uboot.img could be the file, althugh i now come across ramdisk.img
(YES I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP OF THE ORIGINAL ROM)
After four week straight in a row testing more that 50 ROM and not getting the original from seller the phone is send back to china. I looks like a hardware failure

Lg K7 Unstable connection avoid flashing

Hi , I think I probably f*kc up something. My sister just changed his phone to a new one so I borrowed his old Lg K7 x210 3G (I just post all the info I have about the model cause I don't really know exactly which one is) Well I unloaded the Bootloader and tried to change the recovery. I fallowed the steps of the guide but at the end I finished having the "No Command" error . This got me nervous and I started to touch things without knowing what I was doing (really, REALLY bad idea )
So the phone got stuck on a bootloop , well time to flash to get rid of the loop. The main problem is that I can't flash anything (except for the preloader) because it disconects all the time. I installed 20 different drivers and Sp Flash Tools versions (erasing the old ones with USBDeview )
These are the two states that jumps every 2 seconds.

What can I do to avoid this "jumps" and flash the rom correctly to the phone?
I tried 2 different pc , all the ports in this pc and all the cables I could find at home
PS: This are the different guides and tutorials I tried but failed.

Thanks for your help . I don't want to give so early I think it could be fixed.

Stealth Brick

Hello. I have a Moto G4 Plus, still under warranty.
One evening, I go out with some friends, my phone is working normally.
In a bar I pull out my phone and try to look for an image on google, the phone starts to display some odd behaviour (the show all open apps screen kind of half fills the display with the browser filling the other half). I figure I'll forget about it and check later, I press power and put my phone in my pocket.
I wake up the next morning to a phone that won't boot, and this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I try to put it into recovery mode, I get this screen:
Now I know that it says software status is 'Modified', but I swear, I have never modified this or any phone I have owned. I literally went out with friends one night with a working phone and returned with it in this state. I have tried going through official channels (Amazon won't replace it as they say the guarantee is with the manufacturer), it was sent to Motorola for repair but they refuse to repair it unless I pay 130 Euros, because they state it has been modified. I refused to pay that, and weeks of arguing with them that I have done nothing wrong went nowhere, so the brick has been returned to me.
I am trying to fix it myself, but it's proving very frustrating. Windows can't see the phone, despite me having installed Motorola Device Manager (which does see the backup Moto G3 I'm currently using, so that program is working correctly).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Help!! Since 27/3/18 Lock Screen and ad's!! I'm being attacked.

Since 27/3/18 (2 days ago) I think some virus has infected my phone. My phone is not rooted.
Every time I lock the phone it comes up with, per exempleur, the attached:-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
. Also things like the (see the left-hand side) are popping up all the time. I am going out of my mind!!
I've tried all advice I can see online. I've installed Anti-Adware; Zemana Anti-Virus; MalwareBytes; CCleaner. I've deleted one or two questionable apps (not that they were added in the last two days or anything...). I've also followed the various guides about turning off ad-personalisations and opting out of ads etc through Google settings etc, though they keeps coming up.
What can I do save for factory resetting the entire device? How did this happen?
Interestingly, don't know if it's relevant, though a couple of nights ago (immediately before all this started) I was woken up at 2am by my phone making a horrendous noise. I couldn't turn the noise off I couldn't turn the phone on or off. I had to hold the three buttons and do a hard reboot. It felt like some kind of thing had taken over and I had no control of it. Now it's the same in a way... I think they might be linked.
HELP!!
Back up your data , do factory reset , unistall all app what you don't need if the problem is still there , then the problem is in your firmware .
