A05 - ONE UI 7 - BLACK SCREEN

[xlrdrgz]

Has anyone here experienced a bug regarding the official one ui 7 update for A05 causing a black screen?

Was excited to have finally received the update so i hurriedly installed it. To be very cautious, I even left it plugged in so there would be no interruptions during the process. The installation was smooth and it rebooted properly. I even saw the one ui logo loading bar where it would show "optimizing apps".

But when it was done, nothing. Display won't turn on, was able to turn on Talkback able to hear something. At first, i thought it was just the display so i carefully disassembled the device and reseated the cable, nothing. Bought a new display and installed it properly, nothing.

My biggest mistake was that i didn't considered first that this was a software issue before buying a display replacement. Never thought about it because why would an official samsung update would cause such issue.

So what i did was reflash the one ui 6 firmware using ODIN, managed to put it on download mode without having a display confirmation and guess what... THE DISPLAY WAS ACTUALLY WORKING. To confirm if this was really the case. i tried reflashing the one ui 7 firmware on it and the display won't show anything again. Plugging in, i can only hear the charging sound but no display. Just reverted back to one ui 6 for the meantime.

Hoping someone has the same case as mine that's been solved because i really want that one ui 7 update.

Happened to my husband's A05. The screen is flickering and sometimes it's black screen. It happened after the latest update.

UPDATE:

REPLACE YOUR SCREENS. I've managed to fix the issue by simply searching for a different display supplier. I tried IPARTSEXPERTS LCD for Samsung Galaxy A05 and alas, it finally has shown again life.

If working with your device seem scary, just ask a technician or bring it to a samsung service center. The cause remains unclear, might just be a one ui 7 bug or samsung tightening the belt when it comes to 3rd party display replacements.

Overall, have your screens checked.
