As most cases of black lines appear after flashing in recovery the following app could help

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2447534

The mulitboot app was originally for the galaxy S4 but meanwhile supports other phones as well, d802 and vs890 are definitely supported.

The newer versions of the app support flashing of the secondary ROM through the app itself. So if you are on you primary ROM you can flash a secondary ROM without using recovery. You could flash a primary ROM which you use only for in-app flashing of your secondary daily driver ROM and never have to enter recovery. Flashing kernels, mods or other things is also possible and it has Bump support.

My phone now has 2 lines on the far right side of the screen. This problem arose after a simple reboot. Phone was not hot at all and I did not reboot from recovery. Just for more info I am on [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]'s VS 982.5 1.1.0. Never had it happen flashing and I have flashed a lot. Tried the app that has been mentioned to remove and that was a futile effort. Just wanted to put in my 2 cents (Not caused by the great rom from Xdabbeb that I am running), I believe that its a hardware malfunction that is causing this problem..

grr! i had black lines on my g2 since last night! i am so frustrated! :(
[G2 General] Aninimouse:
QQ

Just got the black lines myself, sucks. Out of the 3 lines that were there initially, only 1 seems visible now after the phone cooled down and i applied some pressure . Wish there was a way to get rid of the last one but so far my attempts of sqeezing the phone a bit hasnt done anything. So sad

I'm also having this problem. Was stuck in a bootloop because of updating LiquidSmooth. There were all kind of weird white lines over the LG logo while it was in the bootloop.

Installed CM 12, no problems for about a week but then suddenly there were 2 vertical lines on the right side of the display. My device is the D802, when I push the bottom of the phone pretty hard there appear more lines.

But they disappear after a few minutes but I always have the 2 vertical black lines. I read very much of this thread but there is no fix if I am correct? The lines also show on boot and on recovery. I bought this phone second hand for 180 euro's because I wanted a white one, the black one for the same price did have warranty so it sucks a lot... It's not a very big problem for me because the phone works perfectly fine (except for the audio jack but that's another story), but still it's very frustating. If anyone can find a fix can they send me a PM?
[G2 General] DusTobias:
Just noticed that sometimes the screen flashes for a really short time in some random colors, the whole screen is purple/blue like and it looks like every pixel next to eachother is a diffrent color. Anyone else experiencing this? I hope my screen is not dying...
[G2 General] 0xetrov1:
Guys I gave my phone to warranty, and today I got it back, the panel has been replaced, and everything is perfectly fine, just I think there is more bezels on the right side, :confused: ? is this normal?
[G2 General] :
Yes. From time to time i have the same problem.

My ls-980 has same problem with same PA rom. i think ,pa rom's topic must be closed . there are a lot of phone has black lined screen because of pa rom.
[G2 General] Andr3y29:
I just can't believe it. i was on the stock ROM Lollipop and got a bit bored of it. Wanted to try Blisspop 3.1 especially for the themes and the phone did not want to boot. it got strange lines. rebooted immediately to recovery, formated everything, tried to install everything again and it got the lines on the screen. Got back to stock 20h via flashtool in a minute, but the problem is existent. i am student, and i don't have the money to change it. I was planning on selling it this week.
[G2 General] MBurns2:
It is under warranty?
[G2 General] Andr3y29:
Bought it Sh without a warranty. Going to call LG center today and fix it for me. While I am paying for it.
[G2 General] wulsic:
You can try an app for removing lines. Maybe they will work for all lines. I forgot the name of the app but its mentioned here in the thread somewhere
[G2 General] Andr3y29:
I don't quite know what can it solve.. As there are 2 lines of pixels dead now.. I can see them everywhere, even in recovery, so..

But thanks for your advice.,. i will try and fix it

L.E. found the app, gave it 2 rounds of 10 minutes, then 1 of 30. Still the same. Saw that many of the guys who made it work remained with one line. And I would be totally fine with that, because is less intrusive. I wanna ask.. I should have clicked fix it and let it flash all the colours, or put in on black? Because that's the color of the dead pixels.

I am really sad about this and my device will be on selling on few hours. What's really bad is that I had a thought of selling it weeks before, but didn't. Also.. Why was I so stupid that I changed stock? Pfff.. :((

I swear that on my next device I will either keep it stock rooted, or one time ROM change after asking 30 times for the instructions.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Hey guys.

Sorry to hear about the screen issues you're having.

LG executed such a great product with the G2

however fell short with some of these screens.

A few of us have been able to replace them on

our own and have found that it solves the issues

you're having.

Here's a link to our screen replacement thread complete with some sources to some good sellers we've used to source the products along with my personal story of screen issues.

Not trying to stop you from selling your phone if you've had enough.

Just want to let you know that a screen replacement may solve 99%

if your problem.

Have swapped out my G2 screen myself and know this phone inside and out.

Compared to other phones on the market...fixing it is not hard for someone who's

never done it before.

Whatever you decide to do....good luck and check out our thread above if you think

replacing your screen may be a good idea
[G2 General] Andr3y29:
OK, [MENTION=632911]tiguy99[/MENTION] . Thank you very much for your suggestion. But the screen it's pretty expensive for me. Being a student I don't have the money to do it. Better sell it until the G4 launches.

L.E. Maybe if you wana see a picture..
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Sorry to hear about your screen.

Thats crazy ^^

I'm still baffled how some people's phones have been effected by the PA Rom.

What kind of kernel screw up codes is it sending to the invertor and diffuser assemblies?

For those of you affected, are the lines permanently burned into the LCD?

Are they there when you go into Twrp

Just curious...how much does LG charge now a days to replace to the screen
[G2 General] Andr3y29:
Well,yes. That's why it's called permanent screen damage. And I've just called yesterday LG yesterday. Replacement is like 120-130euros, while I bought my phone 3 months ago for less than 200, so.. Definitely nit worth it. Going to sell it cheaper and probably chose a Sony Xperia Z2.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Not necessarily.

Perception of LCD permanent damage could be many things to different people.

Could be screen burn in (like CRT or AMOLED) or physical damage in the form of mira lines or inverter damage underneath.

Which of these is yours?
[G2 General] new_disaster:
I had twice blacklines on my screen... first replaced under warranty n now i got blacklines again n dont know what to do.... screen is expensive... :(
[G2 General] Andr3y29:
Sell it and get yourself another phone. Or at least that's what I am going to do
[G2 General] wulsic:
It pretty sucks as this phone is just badass and owns the nexus 5 if it didn't had this problem. This is really one of the only phone I know where something like this occurs. But you should be fine with all the other phones as I didn't heard it from other people yet. Goodluck with selling it and goodluck on your next journey :good:

Chalk up another FIXED

As strange as it seems, I was able to fix my black lines with the Deal Pixel app. I had one black line that showed up after bootlooping "attempting" to install the D801 Blisspop. I got the notorious fading screen and burning colors bootloops. After a catching the loops after maybe the 3rd loop, I ended up in TWRP with one Black line on the right. Battled with getting the device to boot for a bit from restores, and by the time it was all back up, I had 3 black lines on the right. I worked with the device on and off over maybe 3 days. (I have learned to just walk away when it goes bad, and cool off, panic flashing is the worst thing you can do)

I had used the free version before on another device, and after running up on the note at the end of the first post referencing some success...why not. I paid for the unlocked version, hoping the higher values would help. Long story short, a few hours / iterations later...no...black...lines!

Here is the exact order I did things to the best of my recollection:

1. Ran for about 15 minutes with the device face down on the free version default settings.

2. Flipped the device over to check it every few minutes

3. Rebooted the device, noticed where the white lines were, showed up bright white on the LG screen, black still on tmobile screen.

4. Ran again for a few more minutes after reboot, flipped it over...wait only 2 lines now!

5. Rebooted again, started it back up with defaults, stopped, bought the paid version which allowed longer runs with shorter intervals.

6. Set the device to the quickest setting for 6hrs...ran for maybe 20 minutes...flipped it over...wait...1 line now, oh **** it's working!

7. Ran for at least 30-40mins...last line wouldnt disappear for nothing...thought about the screen dimming, and how the problem seemed heat related.

8. Leaving work, set the shortest interval and indefinate, and set the phone face up in the sun to the brightness would max out.

9. Left it running while I went into the store, 15-20mins....back in the care, still see the line but ok

10. Came home, showed phone it my pocket, still running lol, restarted it with a slower interval.

11. Came back 20mins later to get something...looked at the screen, line looked kinda pale..rebooted device...NO LINES.

There is something to the dead pixel effect! I was at the point of considering ebaying the device for parts, or tossing it in the drawer for a backup. Keep trying, and switching speeds.

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

I used alternating sessions of 0.02 seconds(paid version) and 0.2 seconds. I also had the phone in bright light so it would warm up on purpose(could just turn off auto brightness I assume). Total run time on the last line was probably close to 1hr.
[G2 General] hdas:
can u please give a link of the app i am getting 2 lines consistently and a line appearing randomly and dissapearing !!

Hope this works :)
[G2 General] MBurns2:
search "dead pixel detect and fix" on playstore. unfortunately it didn't fix the issue for me.
[G2 General] hdas:
R u still using it the same way or did u replace the screen ?
[G2 General] MBurns2:
it was under warranty. after warranty i sold it.
[G2 General] AndreiS98:
black bars

I don't know if someone tried/asked this time already but after I dropped my phone today the screen became washed out(chalked) and 5 minutes after that black vertical bars started developing on the right side, then started moving and now they occupy about half of the right 1/4 of my screen. Thing is when I apply pressure on the back the bars disappear, but only when the pressure is applied in the zone where the screen connector is. Because of this I'm thinking the shock might have moved the connector a bit out of place. Has anyone tried opening their phone up and refitting the connector?
[G2 General] AndreiS98:
I've found the problem and a fix. It seems to me the screen got bent in the fall, because the lines would only disappear when the phone was flexed. In order to fix it, I've put a piece of sponge between the battery and the backcover so it forces the phone to stay under pressure at all times. 90% of the bars instantly disappeared, only 2-3 more stubborn ones remained. I'm thinking if I put a thicker piece of sponge they will disappear completely, but I don't really want to risk breaking the phone. The chalked effect seems to disappear by itself too.

Either way, if you've dropped your phone and got those symptoms this might just fix it for you

Edit: Sponge gets crushed in a few hours and can't hold the pressure anymore. Can anyone recommend something to put behind the cover as a more permanent option?

Problems with my screen

Greetings, just came over here because my English is very basic. I have days presenting this problem with my screen G2 32GB version D802 free. could help please?
[G2 General] AndreiS98:
Did you drop it? Screen seems pretty totaled. You will probably need to replace it, but unless you dropped your warranty might cover it.

Does anyone who is experiencing random reboots have K-9 Email installed?

I flashed the updated German Rom T325XXU1BNE3 on my T325 and started having the reboot issue. I discovered that when I uninstall K-9, the reboots stop. When I reinstall K-9, the reboots return. I'm also messing around with Poll/Push settings in K-9 and it seems to impact the number of reboots I'm experiencing.

I also tried Aqua Email, which is K-9 based, and had the same results.

I'm just wondering is anyone else is having similar issues with K-9.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Daigou:
Hi people :laugh:,

I have a Xperia J (st26a) and I tried several times install the CM10 (FXP240, FXP220 and the lasted build) and everytime a bug appears in wifi.

The wifi works at first but when I leave the wifi I was connected I can not see wireless networks! And just back to work only if you restart the phone :crying:

I tried to install the CM10 these ways:

flash stock ICS, fastboot kernel CM10, wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, install cm10, boot

flash stock ICS, fastboot kernel CM10, wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, install cm10, gapps, boot

flash stock ICS, fastboot kernel CM10, wipe data/cache, install cm10, flash baseband from ICS, boot

flash stock ICS, fastboot kernel CM10, wipe data/cache, install cm10, flash riches kernel, boot

flash stock ICS, fastboot kernel CM10, wipe data/cache, install cm10, flash riches kernel, install modules, boot

flash stock ICS, fastboot kernel CM10, wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, install cm10, flash baseband from ICS, boot

flash stock JB, fastboot kernel CM10, wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, install cm10, boot (did not work neither the gsm :eek:)

flash stock JB, fastboot kernel CM10, wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, install cm10, flash baseband from ICS, boot

And every time has the damn bug.

I used the latest version of CM10 published on the site freexperia.

Someone, please, can give a light for a noob who wants to use the CM10 on your jlo?

My english is very poor. :(
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] AdityaPrasetyo_:
Hi Daigou, this is the last and final CM10 bulid by FreeXperiaProject (FXP250) :) (http://d06.unr.li/dl/13791c8c0a81d/cm-10-20131224-FXP-jlo.zip)

try this way:

1. Flash ICS firmware

2. flash CM10 kernel

3. Wipe Data and cache

4. Go to mount and storage -> mount system

5. Install CM10

6. Reboot

7. Go back to CWM again, and mount system again

8. Install Gapps

9. Reboot

:)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Daigou:
When I did all those installations I used the latest version of FXP.

But I will try again. :D

Hey guys. I'm in a tough spot. I have a VZW GS3 with Carbon rom installed. It has been rebooting a lot, and today it powered off, and didn't turn back on. I was around 18 percent battery. Either way, I could hold the power button, but nothing would come up, just the vibration like it was going to start up. I can't get into download mode, it won't charge. I don't know if it's the battery or not because I don't have an extra battery. I have a wall charger for the battery, i have that going now and I ordered a battery before, should be coming in on Wednesday.

So, how can i fix this? I don't want to get a replacement through Verizon because they would see i had a custom rom and charge me $700.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markctco:
Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting Safestrap to install and work properly on my VerizonSG4. Phone is rooted with stock ROM and still on 4.3 with updates and notifications blocked.(SDM frozen with TB) Other mods include Exposed Framework using 2 modules,Greenify, Busybox, and a couple other root dependent apps that are not likely to be the issue. The problem I'm having is that upon getting Safestrap to install (which took multiple attempts) it will open to the screen where you can choose to install or uninstall recovery and when I hit install it does its thing but shows "State: Not Installed". However, I DO get a little pop up at the bottom of the screen that says" Installation Complete". Safe System says " Not Active" and " Reboot to Recovery" is grayed out so that I can't select it. Manual reboot into recovery brings up stock recovery so I'm not sure what's going on. I've tried everything I can think of to make it work including defrosting SDM, disabling my antivirus, verifying that USB debugging is enabled, etc. So I'm frustrated and could use some insight. I'm obviously missing something or doing something wrong so any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and the apk that I downloaded was Safestrap-JFLTEVZW-3.71which is supposed to be the correct on for Verizon MK2.

Thanks in advance :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
After rooting your phone with presumably saferoot did you open up SuperSu and update it's binary?

Sounds like a Superuser problem. Either open up SuperSu and update binary the " normal" way or run saferoot again if that doesn't work and then update binary. Then you should be OK to install SafeStrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markctco:
Solved it!

Thanks for the response, and I actually figured it out last night. But you were on the right track. After trying a download from a different source the apk installed, opened up and showed that I wasn't rooted! Surprised me because the app itself needed super user rights itself so I knew I was rooted. Turns out I needed to have the paid/full version of SuperSU! Bought it and I now have Safestrap. I know I should probably always purchase the full versions of such high tech apps but damn it would have been nice if someone...anyone would have said that. I'm guessing there are other versions of SuperUser that may work differently right out of the box? IDK but I'm up and running and grateful that I didn't brick my phone. Been down that road before and know that it doesn't take much to mess things up.

Anyway, thanks to all that read and maybe this will help someone else:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I'm not sure why you had to get a paid version of su. I had the SU zip and installed it as part of the upgrade/downgrade method

sent by baja kitkat S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Definitely shouldn't need the paid version but hey good to support Chainfire anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markctco:
Yes, I found that odd also. When I switched to the other apk download it installed but said I did not have root, so I backed out one step and under the apk download that I selected was text in red that said "full version of SuperSu is required to complete this operation." So I paid for the full version, rebooted and everything worked fine from there. At that point the price was worth it, plus I typically use free versions of apps if I can get away with it so by supporting the Dev, as stated, perhaps I made a small deposit in the karma bank:)

Now I'm just trying to figure out if I need to do a factory reset before installing Hyperdrive. This is not my first ROM install but is under this format, so i want to take every precaution. Any suggestions? Leaning towards doing it except for concern about my phone downloading KitKat before I can reinstall TB and block it. Maybe I just need to be quick fingered. Again, open for suggestions.

Thanks in advance:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
You should have plenty of time. I've flashed back to stock so many times and never had that update pop up before I could freeze SDM

I have an MDK phone so I'm not 100% up to speed on what you should do... [MENTION=3882268]decaturbob[/MENTION] has done it all and I'm sure would help send you down the right path
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
the steps listed in surge's method are pretty easy and there is a video. Once you have rooted NC5 deox rom installed, then you can flash another rom right over the top as you would normally do. I installed Bajarom.

- roms go in stock slot

- be sure to flash SU update.zip (a step in safestrap right after you flash hyperdrive)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markctco:
Ok, thanks, but now I'm hung up again. But first of all let me say that there are numerous methods to be found online and I'm not familiar with surge's method, plus I'm not sure exactly how or when to flash the SU update .zip you mention. With that being said, after getting Safestrap to run I decided to flash a Hyperdrive ROM. Following several a combination of instructions and videos, I settled on Hyperdrive RLS12 as it claims to work with 4.3/MK2. But I've also seen that I need to flash the correct module, in this case JFLTEVZW-MK2-modules.zip file. There are conflicting instructions as to whether to flash both zips together or to flash the ROM and then the module just before rebooting. I've also read that I need to wipe cache etc. before rebooting.

Long story short, no matter what I try, I always get the same results...I see the Verizon Galaxy S4 logo followed by a black screen followed by a new boot audio? followed by over 30 minutes of black screen and a very hot battery. I have wiped rom slots between flashes, tried different ROM slots, just about everything I can think of besides the SU update. So perhaps someone can provide some detail on that step and some clarity on the other steps that vary from source to source.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but have gotten to a point where I'm just going to leave it alone for a while and use my stock ROM until I can get some help :) UGHHH

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
have you looked at any youtube videos concerning S4 and safestrap?
