[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tarun0:
I bought this used s9 plus for quite affordable price. Everything looked fine during testing but after sometime, I observed whole screen to be of Greenish shade.

I rebooted and it worked absolutely fine. On searchibg internet, i found threads, yt videos by a number of people, almost all claiming that it is an update consequence. My questions are

1. Is it a software issue? If yes, can I expect some wayto solve - official ota or root and custom or old rom (if possible at all)?

2. If not software issue, is it a software induced hardware issue? Any way to repair without paying full for display?

2.1 If i get it replaced somehow, will itcome back again?

3. In any case, if I don't get it repaired, how long can I expect the deviceto be functional; ie before this green shade becomes permanent instead of being intermittent making device unusable?

I have a similar question for s9 too which ill post in that forum.

Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If it only happens for a second the only thing I be concerned about by the possibility of a rootkit or virus.

If running on Android 9 or higher and you did a factory reset already, that should have killed any unwanted critters.

Do a display check with ScreenTest. If it passes it should be good to go and just a transient glitch.

You've heard of The Matrix, right?🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tarun0:
Hahah

This is something different. I asked a reseller and he said that such displays may last anywhere from 1 hour to 1 year.

Internet is filled with such questions.

Can you please help answering other questions if not this one, like if downgrading to older android possible or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The green only lasts for a second or so when opening the lock screen?

Never any other time?

Then it's not hardware.

AMOLED displays can last for many years. ScreenTest gives you a good idea of it's condition. Generally failure is gradual with the blue pixels failing first, red last.

The boot loader version dictates if you can downgrade or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tarun0:
So far, only immediately after unlocking. Haven't used much tho.

People say temp fix to all such issues is to Enable Always On display and double tap to wake screen instead of using Power button.

Can you ease tell which ScreenTest app it is? Playstore shows several with similar names.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Like I said if it's transient it's no issue.

This is the one I use:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] spamtoaster:
Hi.

My s9 has this problem which everything turns green or worst, depending on the brightness level.

I can repeat the bug 100% of the time: just use the power button to turn off the phone two times: one to put into black screen and again to turn on. Then the screen misses some horizontal lines and is all buggy.

I shall record a video to share my problem but again, this can only be avoided by using aways on display to turn on the phone and then all goes back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache.

A hard reboot.

Try in safe mode.

A factory reset may help but if that fails try flashing to the same version. If Android 8 or lower it could be caused by a rootkit that a factory reset won't purged. However this isn't a typical symptom nonetheless the firmware maybe corrupted.

If none of the above works it's a hardware failure, likely the display.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GibranYG:
So I've been stumbling on this issue when trying to root my Galaxy Tab S7 FE (SM-T733) with magisk. When trying to flash the patched boot.img.tar file (Yes it is the right one) to AP it just gives me this error and while searching online I found that the problem might be Odin's version, but I'm using the latest one (3.14.4) and even trying older versions like 3.13.x and 3.12.x it doesn't change anything. I already enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock. I really don't know what to try anymore. Help!

Edit before anyone asks: yes I tried a different USB port, yes I tried using another firmware to decompile, yes I tried updating/reinstalling the drivers, I did not try another cable but I'm using the one that came with my tablet and I haven't tried using another PC but the one I'm using is 6 months old and is running Windows 10 and I haven't had any issue with it, but I don't have another pc available anyways.

Oh I'm sorry! I think I might have missed that part. Thank you for correcting me! Once again, I'm sorry for my mistake...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bradyok:
Did you ever find a solution for this? I am using Odin 3.14.4 with a Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite and I patched the boot.img from AP_T220XXU1AUL2_CL23190912_QB47065156_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_RKEY_OS11.tar that is inside of Samfw.com_SM-T220_CAU_T220XXU1AUL2_fac using Magisk v24.1. I then stored it as a .tar file using 7zip. Finally I opened Odin and loaded this file and this is the result every time.

I considered that Magisk didn't correctly patch the file so I repeated the process again using Magisk v23 with the same end result. Additionlly I have tried older versions of Odin such as 3.13.3, 3.13.1, etc.

EDIT: I found the solution! You have to rename the patched file back to boot.img and then tar it to become boot.tar, then it will flash! After flash it became corrupt and try again always fails. I did factory data reset and the device started working again, and it had Magisk preinstalled and once I ran it and updated it and rebooted it again, everything was perfect!

Then the tar-file will get accepted and it will work smoothly.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] greentoy:
My Poco f1 was working well until recently. For few weeks when I played any audio loud via speaker the audio would crack and the phone would reboot, about a few weeks later, phone wouldn't turn on without plugged in. I suspected this was just some battery issue.

But the weird part is if I boot(with charger on) into recovery(twrp) then removing the charger has no effect and the phone stays on as long as needed but if I boot(again with charger on) into system then when I remove charger most of the times the phone immediately reboots, comes to the boot screen, tries to loop and the screen goes off. I did try many different ROMs, nothing changes this behaviour.

I am probably going to do a battery replacement but I expected that booting to recovery and booting to system would show the same behaviour, why doesn't that happen? Also now when plugged in and booted to system then playing audio via speaker is not problematic too...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] amn1987:
The audio issue is quite strange. Have you checked the battery health? Easy if rooted using apps like Device Info HW or else Accubattery.

I recently rooted my LG v20 (h918) by following this guide I've flashed Lineage 18.1

Did I wipe out a partition accidentally that is causing my wifi issue? And is there a known fix? Appreciate any help/suggestions, thanks

Ok long story short i did install previously and right now i have the canary version installed but for some reason I can't install the stable version (i forgot the version i believe was 23.0?)

It was patching fine before with the standard versions but right now it's not idk why maybe i need to clear cache or something? I'm kinda lost sorry

[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
I would be happy to test this out if you send me your bricked Elf/Elfin (as a last resort!), but you must have a Model ID (Device ID) that exists in the shipped ROMs thread.

I'm waiting for someone to test this out successfully though. I can't test it on mine because my Elfin doesn't have any shipped ROMs with my Device ID.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
People should make a gold card before they try anything risky with their device. But it will not work with everyone of course, because not all Model IDs have the appropriate shipped ROMs.

After that You can install any wishable ROM with USPL.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
GREAT WORK!!!!!!!! :D:D

You have a MODEL ID of ELF010050 and used a shipped ROM with ELF0100*0 (which is equivalent). This proves our theory that the Model ID has to be the same!

This is great news for people with bricked Elfs. :D

However, the requirements are these:

1) You need another Windows Mobile device that can create the gold card with your microSD (if you did not make one already with your Elf before it got bricked)

2) You need to find a shipped ROM with your Model ID (not all devices are supported)

We could try to re-write those instructions into a Wiki page so that it would fit the requirements for our Elfs.

Now we need to get this working for ALL Elfs ;-)
