Galaxy Note 8 display flickering - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Ever since I updated my Galaxy note 8 to latest OTA software, I'm getting this weird issue with the display. Its better to see the behavior yourself in this video than me trying to explain it
I tried to flash the device to stock firmware (The one that came with the device from factory) using Odin and firmware files from Sammobile but I keep getting errors
and non of the threads' solutions work.

and much more...
I don't know if its a software issue or hardware issue. The service center denied to give any service because the device is "too old"
What do you guys think? Is it fixable? Please guide me.
P.S. In case you can't see the video, Display goes nuts when the brightness is reduced below certain level.

Tried stuff:
- Reset the phone many number of times
- Cleared cache and all that stuff
- Tried in safe mode and no change in behavior
- Tried to flash/downgrade the firmware from sammobile but no success
Thanks in advance!

Rule #1 - Don't update phones if the OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission.
If the OTA updated the boot loader too you're locked into that generation of firmware.
I don't know. Looks like you fried the display or mobo. Check for loose connectors. Any water exposure?

No water damage, No drop damage, Never been opened. Good as new. To be exact, Android 9 was the last update the device would get apart from the security patches. I believe on of those did this but not sure.

So no way to go back in versions?
If you see in the video, the flickering starts only below certain level of brightness. Anything above that is perfectly alright.
If the display was fried, then the display would be flickering and glitching all the time despite changing the brightness right?
Edit: I think it might be because of the amoled display. I recently saw an video about burnout and ghost images issue in Oled displays but not sure how I can test if that's the case

The OLEDs get dimmer with age, about a 5000 hour lifespan at maximum brightness I think.
That wouldn't cause the display to flicker.
Check in settings>display to see if it has a direct current low light setting. Direct current vs pulse width modulation. On the new firmware they may have added this, although it seems unlikely.

It should be fine to do updates. DC Dimming is an unrelated topic. Downgrading the ROM (aka Firmware) is possible, but not sure if an unlocked bootloader is needed for a Downgrade.
If this was caused by a software update I don't know.
When trying to flash the original ROM, what settings are set in ODIN? You could try enabling "Erase All" and disabling "Repartition" if that's enabled.

Try this:
Finally got this fixed. it sounds like the reason for this is that since the latest update your phone cannot decide whether to use hardware or software back light settings. I managed to make the problem go away by doing this:
Go to settings >> system >> About device.
Find "Build number" and click 6 times fast on it.
You will then get the message saying: "You are now a developer"
Come back to Home Screen, and then go back to Settings >> system >> Now you will see the "Developer Options"
Now go to Developer options >> Drawing Section or Rendering Section >> Find "Turn off hardware overlays" or "disable hardware overlays" >> This will force the phone to always use GPU for screen adjustments. no more flickering.

Either way.
Volume Down + Home Button + Power button. Keep them pressed for atleast 6 seconds. That will basically softreset your phone and get it into Download Mode.
tried it several times..
6th. time it did worked.. !!!!!!!!!
thnx so mutch
I have the same screen as posted above.
I also got it in download-mode..but when I try to flash the phone in ODIN it's not progressing...

What is going wrong? Can anybody please give some advice? I read threads and guides but I don't know how to solve this...I believe my earlier attempt to flash the phone went wrong..
The first time I flashed I used JG5, but after a flash the phone did not start normally..no normal homescreen etc. Now it cant start at all..
Edit:
I am trying to flash it again, but nothing happens..
im trying to post a screenshot which im not allowed to do apparantly..
i fixed it by holding doing the hard reset, after that, reboot your PC before the next attempt..
did the trick for me !
I already had this problem too, and naturaly tried two things
A: remove battery => useless
B: hold on the download mode keys => after a few seconds it worked ^^
but just in case, what is this hard reset that you are speaking about ???
This is what I did so far, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Step by step:
1. Loaded PIT (version 513) and PHONE / CODE / SRS in Odin
2. SIM and SD card phone
3. Download-mode phone
4. Connected phone to PC
5. Flashed phone (JG5)
6. Flashing done, rebooted phone
7. Android screen appeared with a number of options (update file / ...)
8. Pressed the Home-button (one of the options chosen, can not remember for sure ..)
9. Rebooted phone but does not go beyond animation and galaxy logo
10. After this nothing happens ..
11. put phone in recovery mode (hard reset)
12. put in download mode (soft reset)
13. tried to re-flash procedure but did not start
14. Kies reinstalled
15. Restarted PC
16. Reconnected phone
17. Tried other USB ports
18. Flash-process started again but no progress
19. Started again from step 1 (now with PIT 512 and firmware WJM1 PIT)
20. Now flash did start
21. Restarted phone, again same screen from Step 7
22. Chose repartion-option and then rebooted
23. Restarted phone again but progress does not go beyond animation and galaxy logo
24. After this nothing happens again ..
I'm using Windows 7 64bit..Geez, ealier I had no problems at all with flashing my old samsung jet..
Would it be possible that my galaxy S is just like dead or something?
Does it hang on the logo screen or does it close the logo screen and then hang?
After flashing it does stay on the logo screen for a while, 5-10 minutes sometimes.
I am not tying to be patronizing, i am actually trying to help

Tom is right. Point 23 takes some minutes to proceed the first time the device is flashed.
the steps work like they are discribed, buth pleass be patient or try after a reboot of both PC and Phone !

Whatever pit file you are using try the other one, for me only 512 works when i use 513 it does the same as yours and hangs there.

@do0fusz I got the same screen, trying to flash another bootloader:'(
How did you get this screen?
"the steps work like they are discribed" <- you mean described by MaltaSoron
I know that i can to get downloading mode with the USB-resistor connector, but, it is possible to reflash the right bootloader, later?
If not, how can y get a recovery mode? It could restore the bootloader?

[Q] Please help!! Galaxy s wouldnot turn on!

Hi there
Right now my Samsung Galaxy S wouldn't turn on.
Before this happened, I tried to flash DXJG4 on my device but ODIN got stuck at factoryfs.rfs for ages (more than 10 minutes). So I unpluged the device and took out the batterry. Then i inserted in the battery again and press Volume Down+Home+Power Botton (to get into download mode again). but nothing happens. Cannot even get anything to come up no matter what i press.
Im freaked out right now. Can somebody please help?
Edit : The screen comes back up now after a 30 minute darkness. phew!
Tried to flash again but still stuck at

nothing even comes up when i plug in the charger
Maybe try to download firmware again as well as pit file. Then try to flash it again. Its really hard to brick this phone. Of course I understand that you have usb drivers properly installed and you know well flashing procedure with odin.

No, can't go into download or recovery mode
then, you wont be able to do much to fix it.
take it back to the store, tell them your computer rebooted when it was updating.

Don't take your phone to the store... =)
Just try this:
- Remove battery+sdcard+power cord+everything you can
- Press AND HOLD the "Volume Down" + "Power Button" combination
- Count to 3 and say "CĂș da velha"
- Ask someone to plug in the battery
Welcome to download mode... I hope =)
tell me about it
Hello guys.
I just have one very weird problem with my phone.
Previously, i've been using the asian singapore firmware dxjf4. Today, I decided to flash over to JG5, but didn't like it. So i flashed back to my asian firmware.
What happened is, during the point of flashing, my phone says
E:Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Then installation of firmware terminated. Therefore, my phone is still bricked, and I don't know how to revert it back to the asian firmware.
When i flashed the european jg5 firmware, i had to add in the .pit 512, the csc, the pda, and the modem. But for the asian firmware, i only need the pda. So did i flash incorrectly? please help!
Do i need to do a factory data reset before i flash?
Or is there a special way to flash from jg5 to dxjf4?
I wouldn't want another firmware as a solution, because the singapore firmware has specific features and i got certain carrier benefits from the 2 year contract phone line that could enable those specific features.
Thanks.

[Q] Movinand.mst....forever..

First time updating my firmware with Roto`s latest Full installl.. I followed the instructions to the letter.. yet everything goes well, but ODIN just is hanging on moviand,mst no errors, it seems to be doing something, I just dont want to unplug and be left with an orniment Been 10 minutes so far.

If you're still stuck, you can unplug it and start over. But before you do, jot down what the Odin log shows, so we can tell what got flashed up to the hang.
Also, post more info, like what firmware you were running, what brand unit, etc.
Will do.. Thank you sir.
roto's the man for any problems as always lol
I have a sch-i800 tab (verizon) at this point. Odin is waiting forever with movinand.mst
Any thoughts to unstick?
I am in the same boat with a Vzw Tab. Has there been any luck with anyone since Feb?
any fix for this?
I'm on a Verizon Tab and getting stuck at this part too. Been an hour so far. Does it take a long time? How do I fix it? Thanks in advance.
Still nothing on this???
just happened to me finally failed tab shut down and will not turn back on
I'm in the same boat. Trying to flash Roto-JMI-Fullv2 after a botched flash with CWM. Tab is currently showing the hone, triangle and PC screen, and Odin 1.70 is stuck on movinand.mst. My tab is a verizon unit.
Does anyone solved this movinand.mst freeze problem?
Ouch! Bricked mine too. Too bad that Tablet was really a nice device.
I guess when Sprint says they don't want your device updated you'd better listen.
I can't even get back to factory reset now.
Any update on this?
I am on the same situation:
Odin hangs at movinand.mst
Here's the log:
Code:
<ID:0/018> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/018>
<ID:0/018> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I tired out of curiosity to create a new package WITHOUT movinand.mst, and it flashes with no problems (but of course would't boot!)
So I guess the problem really is at movinand.mst?
Another theory: maybe it's not movinand.mst per se, but just that Odin hang after certain time, and being movinand the last one it happen to be there?
At a certain point I had to replace my USB cable. As I was in China when I bought the spare cable I cannot be sure about it's quality, maybe slower cable- causes odin's timeout?
seems the problem is actually movinand.mst
I created 2 copies of the .TAR, one with everything BUT movinand.mst, one with only movinand.mst. The first one loads with no problem, the one with movinand.mst fails.
With other fw (eg: XXJQ1) i get the same situation on hidden.rfs.
something wrong with these 2...
it's defintely me
I am having problems with all possible roms: i have tried JME, JQ1 and others, always something wrong happens at the end.
The best I can get to is to get to the flashing logo, but no boot.
I have tried chainfire's SGTBootloaderCheck-1.0 (while in recovery mode) and it tells me I am clean..
i dont know what to do, it doesnt look like a heavy brick, but I cannot get out of it!
Can you still enter download mode? try manually flashing factoryfs and kernel from a stock rom via heimdall.
That usually manages to get me out of a soft brick.
@will
I had the phone and pc screen to after a botched odin load. Its rather known as the "you suck at loading software" screen lol. Rest assured its just a soft brick if you can atleast get to it or see it so all hope isn't lost. Its another download mode screen basically.

Although mine is the tmo version relatively the basic mechanics should be doable.
I fixed mine by plugging it into the computer and once that screen comes on odin should detect it. It took a while so just be patient. Once odin shows the yellow com box have the pit and the roms tar file ready. Click Start and it should catch and load the rom. That's what i did and it got me back up and running.
If your battery is dead then just plug it in the wallcharger for 2hrs. Should give the battery enough charge to complete the procedure.
My advice is to find a stock Verizon GB rom with pit and tar files. After that just look for a custom kernel that gives cwm.
After that you can flash other roms once your back in action. Hope this helped a fellow gtab user ;-)

hi @Derrian, i can get to download mode.
I have tried many Rom's but all fail at either hidden.rfs of movinand.mst (depending their content).
Could you suggest me any ROM in particular you have tried?
Do You think it has to be THE original from brand (china unicom) or it can be any stock version?
thanks!

I would suggest using Boca, it is in my opinion the easiest to flash.
I cannot flash the Base ROM

I am reading Boca's instructions for the first time.
If I understand correctly, the bases are the same as Overcome: the assumptions is that you install the ROM using CWM recovery of a clean and working GB_Stock_safe_v5 install, then flash OC's kernel to convert FS to ext4.
But in my case I cannot Flash GB_Stock_safe_v5, as Odin would fail at hidden.rfs.
I am not sure that is a good idea to change FS formatting on a semi-bricked tab as mine?
Could I revert back if something goes wrong?

AIO Toolbox 2.6 (Rogers) + ODIN3 = Black Screen. Help!

(MODS: Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong section)
Ok hate to start a new thread but I'm desperate.
I was on official Rogers 2.2 (w/ SuperOneClick + RyanOCLF).
I used AIO 2.6 and followed all steps - only thing omitted was not removing battery during the process - which I didn't see mentioned anywhere.
My very first attempt resulted in below in ODIN. However phone got to Rogers logo (white screen with 5 dots) and then going black. Nothing on screen, not responding to buttons but the 4 buttons near bottom lighting up when touching them.
I saw nothing out of ordinary during whole process.

After getting desperate I decided to follow this article to get it into download mode manually using the 3-buttons.
My steps were as follows:
1) Remove battery+SIM
2) Plug in USB
3) Hold down Power+Volume (3-buttons)
4) Inserted battery
5) ODIN3 shows COM active and phone enters Download mode (digger screen with do not disconnect target message)
6) In ODIN3, I picked PIT and PDA files in ODIN and clicked Start (screenshot above)
7) Went through process and finished with "PASS" in ODIN where the phone was at the ROGERS (with 5 dots) screen. Screenshot above.
8) A couple min at the rogers screen and then then phone went to black. Nothing on screen, power/volume buttons dont do anything and the 4-buttons near bottom light up when touched.
9) Its been some 50min+ so far and since step #7 above.
At this point it's good I can still get into download mode and recovery console.
However I am not sure what to do at this point.
Help
gautaml, the same happened to me and this is how I got it working. Since I could get into Recovery I did a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and a Wipe Cache and then reinstall packages. It was awile ago but I think that was the order and it worked. Try it a few times. Before this I also used AIO to just put FireFly on and it worked fine.
[Edit] I also used this information to do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
read the link in my sig about the ROGERS STOCK ROM!!
to fix it all you have to do is wipe cache and data if you get stuck at rogers boot.
I used AIO 2.6 and followed all steps - only thing omitted was not removing battery during the process - which I didn't see mentioned anywhere.

and flashing instructions SHOULD NOT have to say "dont take out your battery while flashing"
ANYTHING to do with flashing warns that you device could get screwed up because THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DELICATE PROCESS!!!!
Thanks trusselo.
So at this point I don't have to do any more flashing. Just get into recovery and then clear the caches/data.
Will try shortly. Thanks. (fingers crossed)
w00t back in business.
For the curious,
Got into Recovery mode by:
1. USB+Battery in both in
2. Held down Power+Volumes down
3. Waited for i896 icon to come up
4. Let go of power.
5. It booted into recovery console.
6. Did Clear User Data followed by Clear Cache Data, followed by Reboot
7. After a few min it came back to Rogers logo and this time finally it booted into the actual application.
YAY!
Ok so lesson learned. For AIO to work I should not have battery or SIM installed? Just USB?
DO NOT take out battery! sim is ok as well
battery needs to be in phone for it to work at all.
Thanks, all good now.
I think I have a pretty good idea on the process; will be trying FireFly shortly.

Unbrick Note from wrong ROM

I accidentally flashed wrong ROM (SII CheckROM) on my Note and now it has stopped booting. IT is stuck on the Galaxy Note N7000 screen and screen starts misbehaving.
I cannot goto CWM recovery all I can still make it to is Stock recovery. How can I Unbrick this state?
Are you able to get into download mode? (Power off, then power on holding VolumeDown + Menu + Power all together until the screen comes on?)
Then you'll be able to flash a rom via Odin...
if you can get into download mode, which is what i assume you mean by stoke recovery you can flash the rom using odin on the pc

I have the same problem, I accidentally flashed a galaxy s2 kernel, and my screen misbehaves after logo. Now, I can't get into download mode since it says low battery. I've been trying to charge it with wall charger, even though back cover gets warmer, it still says low battery. I've purchased an Anker universal charger, left the battery overnight, nope still no luck, should I buy a new battery ?
Bricked Galaxy Note N7000 or Incorrect ROM Flash Easy Fix
Ok simple you won't see nothing on the screen because the bootloader is wrong.....
Just put the battery in then do following.
1. hold vol down+home+power for 15 seconds...
2. release then press volume up...
Note: Don't worry about seeing anything on the screen or any keys light
it will be blank this is because bootloader is incorrect
3. open odin you should see comxx in listed flash the original bootloader back
into phone this will/should resume visual display.
I have attached necessary files to resume
Load File in PDA NOT BOOTLOODER

4. Wait 10 seconds.. Remove Battery Then Boot Back into Bootloader following steps 1&2
5. finally flash Stock Rom to resume the whole phone to original state.
Hope That Helps......

I can get into download mode now, however I don't know which Stock Rom I should download since I forgot which was it. Is there any way I learn it without trying and failing among many available

odd note
hello all,
my case was a bit different, after the ics leak, i rooted and flashed rocketrom without problems, then i flashed kriskelo also without problems but wanted to go back to rocketrom, the problem is that the device got stucked in the galaxy note gt 7000 screen with the rooted triangle after i tried to recover rocketrom via cwm, i have back ups from all the roms, lcy, rocket and kriskelo except from the GB but the phone doesnt boot, i tried odin but it get stucked in the "network connecting" and it doesnt go far...im downloading now the stock gb and will try the antiguangenius way, just a small question, do i have to flash only the bootloader (file attached in the post} and then the stock rom or just the stockrom directly in the pda? what is the nt7000 bootloader file?
extra info, my phone enters in cwm recovery without problems, and if i connect the usb on it with the galaxy note gt7000 screen, i get the yellow flag ( i assume is the download mode, isnt it?) so its not completely bricked, i see all the menu from cwm and can also recover, but it wont boot anybody could help? im afraid how much it would be bringing it to the SSC...
thanks in advance

Sorry with all due respect, how can one accidentally flash a SII rom onto a N7000 or a N7000 rom onto a I717? Do you people think we all are stupid because we don't flash roms that were built for other devices onto our Notes? Why don't people think before they flash? I mean it's known that men cannot think clearly when they see a naked women with big b.... but I did not know that this effect also takes place when they see a phone and a rom
