White screen (grey lines) soft brick / cm10 dead battery. Fixed. - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Never had this happen with other roms but it is probably coincidence that it happened with the new cm10 beta by oliver and maclaw.
After draining my battery completely and connecting my charger I was presented with a beautiful white screen with diagonal grey glitchy lines. No reboot or recovery, just this 'white screen'.
I assumed the battery was not charging correctly because after many attempts the phone would still not stay on during download mode.
The only way to correct the problem was to leave it plugged in on the white screen for half hour and then refresh this pit file in odin:

I hope this problem doesn't occur for anyone else and is just a coincidence for my device.
Some s3 users have had this bug without finding solutions so I hope they find their way here.

Thanks, I will give it a try!!
Edit: actually I would need it for the Galaxy s3

[Q] Really weird screen trouble on Galaxy S [i9000]

Hi everyone,
The last few days I've been trying to revive my friends Galaxy S i9000.
He brought it to me when his screen all of a sudden wouldn't work anymore. All that it puts out are faint green, pixelated lines.
At first I thought it to be a crashed ROM or something, so I hooked it up to Odin and started flashing.
Two days later I've been through a whole lot of ROM's, ranging from stock Froyo's to custom ROM's with SpeedKernel I run on my own (still working ) Galaxy S.
All to no avail. The last ROM I flashed is the stock Samsung Gingerbread one, and I can hear the phone booting with the startup sound and all, even hear the keytones when I go over the touchscreen.
But still... the screen is either black, or when I wait a while after booting, looks like the image attached to this post.
I'm starting to think this is a hardware problem. I have already opened up the case but can't see anything wrong, all the connectors and ribbon cables attached to 'em look just fine.
Any suggestions or should I just get a replacement SAMOLED from eBay?
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
this mofo is dead as hell...
Haha yeah I guess... but it still functions as a phone, with the startup sounds and all, vibrate also works, it's just the screen that's not functioning like it should...
The problem seems to be with the screen, get it checked by any local mobile repairer if it isnt under warranty !

[Q] garbled screen issue?

I got my Galaxy Note n7000 international version a few weeks now, from time to time I got this issue:
1. Screen becomes garbled up, nothing readable, color strips all over. I've seen this happen sometimes when I moving my fingers very fast between screen to screen.
2. Turning it off and on would usually not fix it, and it would turn on but with a black screen, I can hear the sound sometimes but cannot get the startup screen.
3. Taking out the battery and putting back it would usually fix it.
I am running stock ICS.
Is this really a loose cable connection? Have anyone seen similar behavior before.
thanks

Might be. Did this problem occur on GB ?
Yes, it happens once. It is random enough that it happens like may be once in 2-3 days, I did not stay with GB for a more than that
Go to service Centre or flash another rom

[Q] Xda is deafeningly silent over a fix for the Pink screen issue!!!

I have looked up all the threads relating to an issue with some galaxy notes going pink all of a sudden. The thing is I can't find a viable fix for the problem.
I had never disassembled my phone and the screen slowly turned purple and started blackening out. It was fully functional. This I knew because I connected it to my Windows 7 computer and used Android Commander. I ordered a new screen complete with bezel etc. I have two batteries, the first didn't even charge after I put it in the phone (it had drained totally during the wait for the new screen and went dead), the second was partially charged and allowed the screen to boot. It is however behaving like the first screen did before it went black, that is purple. I am sure I have not done anything wrong with the connections when I dismantled it. Could it be the batteries? or the adapter flex? I just hope it is not the mainboard. It is not on warranty and we don't have that many honest phone specialists around where I live. I am almost sure others have experienced the same problem and someone on xda knows what the problem is. If you do I would be indebted.
Whites show up ok on startup but turn immediately pink. Blues are a big problem. I think that it must be software because from bright white it turns pink, and at the moment it screen brightness is at full intensity it is ok for a time. However don't want to leave it at full intensity. I have tried changing screen intensity and unchecking screen power usage in Settings/display.
I was on Ultimate JB rom, but have just gone to stock JB Rom (Germany LT4) same problem.
Please help.
Thanks
Instead of wasting money and time, go to a Samsung Service Center and get it fixed. Someone in this forum (i guess he was from Brazil or Portugal) has the same problem when he updated to ICS or Jelly Bean but worked fine with gingerbread. Flash a GB rom from Dr.ketan post and look if it works. If still has the same problem, go to a Samsung Official Service. Good luck and sorry my bad english
Thanks for the advice
I'll try it out.

my phones display has dimmed.

hi guys,
i am in a trouble, today afternoon i left my phone home downloading a big file.

SAD DAY, is my Note finally DEAD? :(

Hi Guys,
So this morning, I woke up to find my phone had rebooted overnight. Not surprised by this, as it often happens randomly from time to time. This time however it was stuck on the Samsung splash screen, black screen with white writing, saying N7000 blah blah....
So I rebooted the phone, and it was still stuck on the N7000 splash screen. I left it like this whilst I drove to work, and it was still like it.
I took the battery out, and left it for a little while and put it back in, but NOTHING. black / blank screen... I left it on charge on and off through out the day, as I was trying to fix another phone issue (someone elses at work...)
Anyway, got back to mine, and still nothing. Still nothing booting or displaying on screen now, just blank / black screen. As our phones don't have LED notification light, can't tell if there's life there or not. The [Open Windows] and [Back] buttons don't light up or anything.
I've read about the famous "Samsung, Black Screen of Death" which appears to affect many Galaxy branded devices, S1 - S5, Note 1 - 4, and some other models, higher up without removable batteries.
They all seems to post positive remarks, getting their phones back from the dead, by holding power button down for 1x minute and leaving the battery out to drain phone of residual? power.... I've tried this, and still no life yet. They say it may not work first time... I've tried it a few times.
Do I keep going, or is it DEAD DEAD now?? Anyone else had this? Has it worked for you guys or not??
So gutted, loved this phone...
Thanks, Lister
:crying:Still DEAD:crying:
Have you tried using Kies to restore the OS? Or download the OS file from Sammobile and install it manually using Odin.
Hi @iceepyon,
Thank you so much for replying, I appreciate that... :good:
Sadly though, I think my Note is a little beyond that stage... It doesn't even turn on, with or without battery/mains power. I think either the eMMC chip is toast, or some other hardware failure now.
All these Black Screen of Deaths for Samsung video's appear not to apply to my device, and think my device is actually just a paperweight now. Gonna try one more time to bring it back from the dead, with a JIG and see if I can repair it that way... Otherwise, it will be going to the great Silicon Heaven, in the sky.....
Thanks again... Lister

Best of luck to you. If the eMMC chip is indeed toast then you would have to purchase a replacement motherboard. It is very hard to find a N910C motherboard.
