I was using JB 4.1.1 previously and decided to flash to a new 4.1.2 rom this morning. Everything was fine until the Samsung animation screen. There is no display. My screen is completely dark. But the phone responds when I touch the screen and the home button as well as the power button.
I thought this is the LCD problem but when I boot to Recovery, the display turns on and everything is fine. So I decided to flash to another rom but the same problem occurs. Did I brick my phone? Any solution guys? Some help would be very much appreciated.

Try to do checksum on the ROM zip file you flashed, if it was correct.. then try to do a fresh new flash of the ROM:
1- Make sure you're on a safe kernel .. if not, please flash a safe kernel (I prefer Abyss GB Kernel)
2- flash the file in the attachments
3- flash your ROM file
my xt890 lcd screen and digitizer were broken so i changed them and the phone was working fine for a week, i then wanted to update to kitkat through oem update; everytime i tried it would give me error . i then read that since i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery i couldnt do an oem update and i had to do a factory reset in order to update through oem, so i did just that ; after the phone finished factory reset and booted i proceeded with oem update while the phone was charging, everything was going fine the file was downloading, i went to the bathroom and came back the display was black, but touch screen was working fine...through more searching i read that this could be from the update, and i should do another reset... since i couldnt see anything even recovery menu. i downloaded moborobo so i can see my screen on pc and proceeded to factory reset ... now i cant even see through moborobo and im stuck. i think im stuck in recovery screen, but no way to be sure , hence i cant get usb debug.Please help.

It sounds like you can get into recovery. If so, wipe data,cache,boot,system,dalvik cache. Then flash a new ROM and gapps (from the same thread). It would REALLY help if you would state what recovery and version# you have, what ROM you were trying to flash with what gapps, what radio baseband you have, whether you are s-off or not, and what all you have tried so far, with elaborate steps.
I tried a flash and think i messed my tab...now its just a black screen with a faint light in the background like its on but its no images.......my battery icon pops up then distorts away and thats it ....can get into download mode but not recovery.....tried holding all 3 buttons got this lil android dude in the corner with a sign sayin something about power reset but cant select nothing......help me please......
Put it in d/l mode and flash one of the stock roms with Heimdall.

i tried a stock flash with heimdall it flashed successfully but i still get the SAMSUNG logo that flashes and go away,buttons light up at the bottom,can go in download mode but not reboot mode,phone stay on with a faint light ,so i assume that its on somehow.....help

Although you get a black screen on boot, it might still be working....
Chubbyflood,
If you are in the same situation as I am then the tab is still working, you are just getting black screen on boot up. It played tricks on me for ages when I was first rooting by tablet; but it turned out it is just the boot up screen that isn't showing.
This is my situation:
-Press and hold Power button to turn on.
-I see the Galaxy Tab / Samsung initial boot image for about 1 second, and also hear the "boot chime"
-Then the screen goes completely blank (but you can tell it is still on with a little light showing.
-The four "hard button" lights will light up briefly a couple times
-Wait approximately 30 seconds to a minute (to be safe and give the tablet time to boot up - it is actually booting up)
-Tab the Power button once, to turn the tablet off (now the screen is clearly off)
-Tab the Power button again, and the tablet will be up and running as normal.
I am guessing the boot animation / images are failing in some way, but the tablet is booting up as normal.
I've just learned to live with it, because I haven't had a chance to figure out what's going on, but it honestly took me a good hour or so, and a few (unnecessary) flashes, before I realized the thing was up and running fine, it just need to have the button pressed on and off.
One final thing to mention; don't have the tablet plugged into anything. I seem to remember leaving it plugged into the PC didn't help (I think).
Hope that makes sense.
Cheers
Ed.
Has your situation been resolved?
I am in the same boat. What I have done to temporarily fix this was to Flash a ROM that uses Hemdall and it will boot as flukebu stated but only with the Galaxy Cubed ROM.
I cannot get the factory files to boot as you have stated.
I have continually tried to return to stock using the files provided on this forum and all "unbrick" posts.
While flashing the stock images everything completes and works well. The device reboots and the Samsung Splash screen appears. Once it appears it disappears and scrambles the screen. I believe it then goes into a bootloop which easily enough I could access factory recovery to correct but when I do attempt to access factory recovery the screen is as posted above (black but illuminated).
Once I flashed Galaxy Cubed ROM and it booted I hit the power button and the locksreen appeared. I can tell you I was excited but there are some issues with that ROM I have not tried to correct yet because my main goal is to return to stock.
Even with this ROM working correctly I have attempted to access CWM once installed to complete a Data Wipe and that does not show up either.
I would really like to find a solution to this I want to return to stock and not have this custom ROM running.

Have you found a resolution to this? Mine tab is doing the exact same thing as yours after the cubed rom.

Hi. I have note 5 sm-920c with multiBoot,AryaMod ROM installed as primary rom and DrKetan secondary. All well and fine since this morning when I tried an app that changes resolutions (I changed to 1080x1920 and things stared crashing: systemUI, AirView, etc). After rebooting there wasn't anything on the screen but the wallpaper. So I connected the phone to USB and ran a few ADB commands to restore the resolution. After restaring everything was back to normal. Then out of the blue my phone restarted by itself and went into a bootloop: showing the black screen with samsung galaxy note 5 (and the little red text kernel is not seandroid enforcing - because of the multiboot) and immediately restarting. It wouldn't even get to the bootanimation. So I entered recovery and first wiped cache and dalvik - same thing happened. Flashed multiboot cleaner - same thing happened.
So now I'm trying to do a full reset to install a new rom. And the phone restarts DURING the reset while being in recovery. That's what scares me - because I haven't seen anyphone do this (it's not my first flashing exp). It doesn't even go into bootloader, it just keeps restaring. Only thing that works in the custom recovery - CWM.
Do you think it's a hardware fault? Like the sdcard failing? Or just software. Should I keep on trying flashing something from the phone since the files are there and I can still access them? Can I flash anything from Odin without entering the bootloader?
I'm asking now because I think it's serious and I don't want to **** it up anymore than I already did. Warranty is a NOGO right now, I at least have to get it to stock recovery even if the knox bit is tripped.
Any help appreciated.
Hallo, yesterday my phone kinda got laggy so i thought to my self hmm why not flash a new firmware. Aftewards i said to my self, why not go even further and flash lingeageos 16 and thats when it starts going down. The phone would crash or black screen (volume and power key still work and show their UI on the screen) while the rest of the screen was black. I panicked and quickly wiped everything system,internal storage and all that via TWRP recovery. Now i face a even bigger problem. I cant flash anything onto my phone. The Flashtool requires some drives which i installed as the program instructed but with no great result. I put the device in flash mode by holding volume up key and putting the usb cable into the phone and still nothing i can do. I tried various tools to convert the FTF firmware into zip so i can flash it with TWRP that luckily still works. If i try to flash anything i get the error: 7 or bootloop/stock on loading screen. What should i do?
UPDATE: I flashed a stock rom via newflasher, so for anyone in situation like me, where they phone is a very essential part of they everyday life and everyday responsibilties. Then i recoomend this guid for you, it says everything you need to know when you are in a situation where nothing works: https://www.xperiablog.net/2018/01/...-firmware-for-xperia-xz-premium-xz1-and-more/
