Hello all,
When i try to boot my phone, there is only a vibrate but the screens stays off (not black, there is no backlight, the screen doesn't turn on).
Except when i press power + volume up, then i get the screen to go to recovery, fastboot, or boot normal but it doesn't matter which i choose, after that the screen goes off again.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Luckily i swapped phones a day before it broke so i wouldn't lose important files but it would be nice to be able to recover them.
Thanks in advance!

Hello, this morning I restarted my phone because it was freezing and it turned on on the boot screen where it gives me options to Recover, Reboot, etc. The volume button broke a long time ago. It sometimes works to move the option but pushing the power button doesn't do anything. Is there anything I can do to restart my phone avoiding this screen? It goes there every time. Could one of the volume buttons be stuck? Please let me know because I really need my phone ASAP. Thank You!
I installed TWRP 3.0.2-1 on my Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge. I booted into recovery mode, and I'm on the normal TWRP screen with the 8 options. But it doesn't let me open any of them. After a few seconds, the lock shows up, and after a few seconds more the screen turns off. I can turn it back on with the power button but I can't use the TWRP's swipe to unlock. Holding the power button does nothing. Holding volume down, power, and home (download mode) will make the loadup screen start to show up, but then it'll stop there for a really long time, before eventually going back to TWRP recovery and repeating all over again. If I keep holding the combination, it'll just loop the loadup screen over and over again. What do I do?
EDIT: I actually can get into download mode if that helps at all, my home button is just really messed up and does not always click well.
It all started 2 days ago, when watching a clash of clans replay the screen turned off for the energy saving thing. I pressed the power button to bring it back, but the screen didn't turn on, i could hear the game sounds, and the touch screen was working, after the replay ended i was able to tab the buildings in my village and hear the sound they make. I pressed some random combination of buttons, i think its power+volume down and the screen turned on. It happened a second time during that day, and i was able to turn the screen on again. But the day after that trick didn't work and the tablet was stuck with a black screen.
I tried a factory reset, but the menu for it wouldn't appear, the odin menu by the other hand worked fine. The recovery menu should appear when with the tablet turned off you press volume up + home + power in that sequence, and releasing the power button at the samsung logo screen. But the menu never appeared, so i navigated it blindly and i think i managed to reset it, at the next accension i was prompted with the personal information field, name, google account, time settings etc..
The phone started again, with all default settings, and all my files where gone (so im assuming the factory reset worked) but when the screen turns off it doesn't come back by pressing the power button, it comes after trying a few combinations (and again i think it is power + volume down and wait a few seconds).
So im worried it was all in vain, also the screen brightness is bugged, and changes the colors, the become reddish with low brightness and some colors disappear.
Edit: After i let the screen turn off for the third time today, it doesn't come back on. So im back at the black screen...
Good evening folks,
I am in need of help. I've been having issues with my tab S3 (SM-T820) for the last month or so. I notice that when i let the device charging over night, after i disconnect it, the screen goes black. I know the device is on, since the button lights are active. I've performed forced reboots (holding power + volume down buttons), and screen remains black, but device is on. I've performed hard resets via the odin software and the firmware, and yet the screen remains black (again, device on, button lights on). If i connect the device to a charger, when the screen is black, the screen turns starts displaying a black "speckled" display (black screen with color dots everywhere). When i see that, i start pressing the power button, turning the screen on and off continuously, until i finally get the screen to appear. Problem is that once i turn off the screen (not the device), again the screen will go to black and not appear anymore, until i keep messing with the power button again. I'm finally at lost since i sent the device to squaretrade for warranty support, and they keep sending it back as repaired (all they did was a factory reset, which is what i have done via the Odin software). Any idea on what to try next? I have though about disassembling the device and verifying the display cable is correct, but just seems irrelevant that it could be a hardware issue since eventually the screen does come on again (after trying countless of times), plus, i don't know how to disassemble this thing. Any ideas or recommendations?
Thank you in advance
After splash screen, screen blank but phone sinks with BT & capacitive lights active
Today I tried to update my phone to the newest firmware (I think it was .210, but I know it was from August 5th on firmware finder...I know its a long time to wait to update, but I started a new job, moved to a new city, etc. so things have been super crazy). Unfortunately, after flashing with EMUI Flasher, the phone rebooted and then got an update failure. I restarted the phone and waited but the screen was black. However, my smart band paired and if I press the power button, the capacitive button lights turn on, but the screen is blank/black. I have tried rebooting, both regularly holding power for 20 seconds as well as holding the power key with volume up and then volume down. I can reboot into a recovery of sorts and tried to wipe cache and restart, as well as boot into safe mode, but both result in the black screen from before. I can also boot into fastboot, but don't know what I could do to fix this.
Any advice as to how I can save my phone would be really appreciated. I'm really hoping I don't have to wipe the phone.
Please help me!
