Lost boot up everything fuzzy, apps not working properly

After re flashing, I must of messed something up because when it boots the screen goes fuzzy and blank, you have to press the home button a few times to get the home screen to show, none of the apps work or market place or browser.
I have tried about 4 different versions of the Gingerbread o.s My tab is a sprint, also when the battery icon shows when charging that goes all fuzzy.
Hope some body can help
Thanks

Take another look at this section of forum. Now think, does it look absolutely anything like a section you should be posting a topic in???
Dev forum is for developments, not general discussion or questions and answers, They logically go in, err hmm let me think. "General" and "Q&A".

[Q] Soft bricked P1000?

I've had a hunt around the forum and the net in general to look for solutions, but haven't come across the same issue.
The tab was running Overcome 4.10 just fine, but I decided I'd wipe everything in CWM and go for some ICS action instead. I used every wipe option.
In retrospect, I should have RTFM, but I used every wipe option in CWM.
After I did this I rebooted the tab and it went back to CWM. I decided I didn't want to do anything there and then, so I turned the tab off and came back to it later.
Hit the power button - no joy. Plugged in my charger cable and after a few seconds it came to life showing the battery charging screen, but it did not change from the first few seconds where there is a spinning/loading icon over the battery. I've left it plugged in for well over 4 hours in total now and still no joy - the battery screen comes on and goes off of it's own accord.
Now, I'm hoping I just have a dodgy charger cable and I'm going to resolder it just now while I wait for responses.
Any suggestions if that doesn't sort it out?
EDIT -
I've resoldered the cable and it's made no difference.
Also, a bit obvious, but I didn't mention that it will not go into download or recovery mode. The turning it on whilst touching the screen trick doesn't do anything either.
EDIT 2 -
I opened the tab up, disconnected the battery for a few minutes and reconnected. No difference.
adb, Kies and one-click unbrick don't see the tab. Win7 has seen the 2 sd card directories, but couldn't mount/access them. This isn't consistent, though.
Any ideas? I don't know what else I can do

Thanks for your reply and the links. Unfortunately, I've tried everything in the first thread with no luck.
I think I'll practice my soldering and try AdamOutler's UnbrickableMod.
I'm curious what exactly bricked it :-/ Wiping the battery stats with no ROM in place?
Oh well

Hmmm... this looks more like you messed up CWM. Normally, if one chooses to shut down his phone while in CWM, after reboot it gets back into CWM on auto. Try getting into CWM or download-mode by holding the buttons untill you see something happening on the screen.
If that fails, I guess you have a new goodlooking paperweight...

Any idea how CWM might have been messed up? No battery stats maybe confusing things? I find it strange that it did reboot into CWM after I wiped that stuff and then after being powered off it did not turn back on.
A mystery, but you're right - it is a very pretty paperweight

Stuck in boot loop, PLEASE HELP, screen is fragmented on every boot

So the issue i am having is the phone is in constant boot loop, while it is pixalated only on the upper have of the screen. i have tried the 3 button combo; the vol + and power; vol - and power. What happened was, i was in recovery mode looking to update the kernel for the serendiptiy 6.4 rom i had. After it installed from my sd, I rebooted the phone and hasn't booted up right since.
Here are some specs and extra info:
Carrier: AT&T
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S sgh-i897
Rom: Serendipity 6.4
Experience: Semi-advanced
any good help is greatly appreciated. Please help. And yes i have looked everywhere on the forums for a similar case and have found nothing.

You didn't look hard enough.

thanks but thats not the issue i am having, here is a video i took showing what i mean. I have a youtube video but i cant upload it since i am new to the forum.

Can you get into download mode?

No, it just loads a rotating spindle for as long as i hold the combos together. then when i let go it goes to the at&t screen, except only the lower half of the screen. if that makes any sense.

Ok I understand now. I think it's possible get download mode back using a windows program, I don't know how myself though. If I find an old thread that explains it I'll post a link. Hopefully someone else can jump in and help.

Ok thats what i am trying to look for also. Oh and when i plug it in to my computer, the computer does not recognize the phone. Is that as simple as downloading my phone drivers?

Yes download the drivers.

HTC One Stuck at HTC Logo Screen, Unable to boot into the bootloader/recovery.

Hi guys, I'm writing to you in hopes that you can some how save me in this situation.
Like many others, I was stupid and deleted everything on my phone using TWRP. I have tried many suggestions, mostly those found in this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40907625
and in many others however I am unable to get out of the HTC Logo screen. While holding the power button the buttons on the bottom simply blink and nothing else. It doesn't reboot, no matter how long I hold it. The same thing happens when I try and boot into the boot loader.
My only option now is to just wait for the battery to die on its own I suppose but in the mean time I was wondering if anybody else had any suggestions for me. I really hope I didn't brick my phone v_v
Edit - Forgot to mention that when I did try the methods in that thread, the program won't recognize that the phone is connect however the HTC Sync application does pop up on my computer when I connect it via usb.

Did you try adb? You probably still have it from when you installed twrp. Connect your phone via USB, go to a command prompt in the directory with adb (e.g. in the fastboot directory) and type "adb reboot recovery". In windows you can get to a comand prompt (among other ways) by shift-richtclick of the relevant directory and choose "command prompt here"

Thanks for the response!
I tried that however the device isn't being recognized as being plugged in even though it clearly is. Just to repeat, I'm stuck at the HTC logo, not the bootloader or recovery. I know the recovery is still there however I'm unable to get into it from this screen. I'm completely at a loss at what to do next =/

Yeah I only mentioned it because I, too, got myself stuck at the HTC Logo and, even though the phone wasn't recognized as a device by windows, adb still worked for me.

I just posted a Tip on this in the General section on how to get around this without waiting on battery drain. In a nutshell hold your phone under a bright light and then hold the Power/volume button and it will take you to the bootloader. I know it sounds wierd, but the same thing happened to me flashing an international Rom and someone posted to do this, so I tried and damn if it didnt work. I realize its been a few days since you posted this, but if it happens to you again now you will know. :good:

My international HOX recently got stuck at the boot screen after re-unlocking bootloader too. Volumn down + Power will only reboot it and get it stuck again. I first thought this was some kind of a joke, but I tried and saw IT DOES WORK!!!

THANKS! Was trying every possible way to reboot my phone and nothing would work. For some reason this bright light stunt got it booted. Odd, but worked.

Sorry, I know this thread is a few months old, but this is the only place I can find reference to this particular problem.
Has anyone found any real fix for this?
My HTC One is, as in the OP, stuck in the HTC screen following a borked ROM flash. I have tried the power button alone, power+vol-down, bright light, dim light, etc. So far nothing I have tried has resulted in anything besides the softkeys flashing; no shutdown, no reboot, no bootloader...nothing.
Anyone?
Or am I stuck just waiting until the battery dies...

You are holding the power abd vol down buttons for a very long time, right? Longer, as in way longer than normal.
If your recovery does not charge the phone you better not let it run down. I use philz, it charges ablnd has OTG , but moreover charges. It also comes up clean in TechNet ajust by plugging in imported

Correct. No matter how long I held in the power buttons, it did nothing. I ended up letting it run down over the night and this morning ran a restore on the backup I had made before attempting the flash. After restore, phone is back to where it was before, so problem taken care of (sorta). Cyanogenmod 10.2 now installed and working.

??? Not really sure what you're trying to say here...?

Yea, crummy typing.
Just saying to be careful of battery if his recovery doesn't charge the battery. I've heard problems on recent TWRP releases for Sprint HTC One along that line, though I use PhilZ so can't be certain. If power down was possible, then usually plugging in alone gets me to recovery.
Looks like it all worked out anyway.

Oh ir's really weird and interesting but it worked like a charm!
I used my blackberry z10 as a torch to lit the proximity and pressed vol+/- and pwr....... and the One really shutted down....... lol
what's the problem, my god.......

Came across a new problem I can't find anywhere else.

I've recently come across a new issue on my T-mobile Galaxy Note 4 that I haven't seen before. I've been searching online as well and can't seem to find anyone else posting about this problem either. I'm not the best but I have some experience. I've recently rooted and flashed tekxodus hybrid n4 5 1 1 rom on my note 4 through TWRP recovery. It took a few tries but everything worked. After using it for 3 days, I decided to turn it off and hard reboot it which I've done plenty of times before. But this time, upon rebooting it starts up and shows the tmobile logo screen and turns black. Vibrates twice as if you plugged it into the charger but remains black, and stays that way. If i plug it into the charger it shows the green battery screen and charges normally. I can enter twrp recovery and download mode as well. But it just can't get past the logo screen. I've also tried using a different note 4 battery from other videos, clearing the cache, delvik-cache, but nothing seems to work. As earlier mentioned, I can't seem to find any other post with this exact problem so I've come to reddit for help. Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Yeah, unfortunately that's what I had to do. I was trying to figure any other option other than having to reflash everything. Thanks for the tip though

Yeah, I knew since I could still get into TWRP Recovery and download mode I'd still be able to reflash stock roms. After I did, I did notice that the first "T-Mobile" logo screen lasted a bit longer than it did while it was messed up. I'm still not entirely sure what went wrong, but my only guess is that Tekxodus roms incorporate a app called synapse(possibly rom specific). I think I changed options in it which allowed me to overclock the cpu. I did reboot it a number of times after I set that up, but maybe something was stepped on through game editing apps which create/change app data. But it definitely pays to have back-ups to everything. Thanks for the reply too btw

Try flashing another kernel, sounds like that could be the culprit
