Root glitching for no reason?

all of the sudden my phone started glitching out. it was annoying at first but it seems to be getting worse.

at first it was just turning a portion of the screen a ghostly red yellow blue and itll lag.

then it got to to the point the phone will freeze and display the whole screen as red blue green yellow mash up of pixels.

I did a restore and no luck.
the screen was even doing it at boot up and at the clockwork mod menu.
then after 10 minutes or so it will be fine.
I havent had the phone near water or anything.
ran a virus scan and there wasnt any
I took out the sd card and it still had problems.
right now my phones glitching out with pixelated and lagging portions of the screen.
I did a benchmark test on the phone and it passed with flying colors.
I have no idea what's wrong:(

That's funny!!! Especially since rooting has nothing to do with hardware failing.

Same problems starting here... Haven't found an easy fix yet. Running newer stock deodexed/debloated ROM
 
the ONLY fix is to get it serviced or replaced, unless of course youre cool with going in and manually fixing the bad lcd connection

it is a hardware defect, not software, you can tell by how it does it before the software loads, after a while i couldnt even see andy on initial boot
 
It looks like this. :eek:

Right guys? :banghead:
 
Manufacturer defect...cheap labor or parts. Return for a replacement.

Gentlemen...a news flash...My zte warp 4g n9510 barely three months old, started getting an all white screen with tiny colored dots, I had to remove battery to restart.Performance is f**ked...Damn and I like this phone!
 
yeah exactly what junkie said was what the geek squad guy told me. easily breakable lcd display connection.
those who dont have a super thick rubber case better get one lol

Umm... I DO have a thick rubber case "indestructible" plastic case surrounded by nice rubber. Kind of like an otterbox - cuz I do construction. And U guys have all been right about RadioShack: DO NOT buy from them. Whether u have an extended warranty & receipt or not, they will pick apart every little aspect of ANY phone and refuse to refund or exchange it regardless of anything else. Believe me, I about snatched the little PeckerNeck(s) over the counter when they told me the wouldn't exchange a week old phone cuz it had a few scratches caused by the actual case itself, while the screen was immaculate... HELLO!? I DO CONSTRUCTION!! Fu
 
I was told it was a defect. but i also dropped mine when it wasnt in the case and i thought that was the problem. 5 feet in the air on concrete. and a month later it had problems. it was wierd.
 
Yeah got Mine off ebay for 35.00 in new condition from a cell phone reseller. I read about the problem millions of times on the boost website reviews which is why I was terrified to get the phone, been happening once every other day. the seller probably had no idea cuz it just happens out of nowhere. If I get another on eBay they're probably selling it for the same reason also so let's hope it stays alive or I'll have to go to a moto G this is a great phone though... I may get one more and just pray.

Yes I did. Then I put it back together saying: "F that!" It was like looking under the hood of a car and not seeing any nuts, bolts, or screws - Didn't work out for me, lol
