Problem with screen, need to re-load rom

Hi there, Ok I have searched through the forums and the wiki etc with no prevail.
So my problem is, I was using my rooted dream fine (I bought it new but pre rooted) Anyway the backlight decided to stop working so now the phone is virtually unusable, as well the screen will not respond to any of my touches.
So I cannot go in and tinker with the settings,
To work out whether this is a software issue or an actual screen issue I want to reload the ROM if I can using my computer and not via the phone (As I cant see what im doing obviously) Is this possible and how would I go about doing this?
Thanks!

1) This is a development forum, not a diagnostoc forum...this needs to go in the q&a thread if you expect people to love you
B) The likeliness of it being the rom is VERY low. It sounds like you have 2 issues- the screen backlight is off, and the digitizer is not responding. Is this correct? What does it do when you connect it to your PC?
3) If it is a hardware issue, and Tmo wont help, try HTC. Their service is excellent.

Oh ok, When I plug it into my computer I gets recognized but I cannot open the drive as I cant mount it on the phone

I dont know if this will help, but maybe take a look here:
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
It says developer phone only, but that is pretty much what you have...
or, try this: (stolen from somewhere on Google)
Load update.zip onto your SD card
Boot into fastboot(Power+Camera)
Plug in USB, press back on phone
Make sure you have the driver for the G1 installed on your computer
confirm your computer detects your phone
type:
fastboot devices
then type:
fastboot push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

I tried the 2nd option, but I cant get into the sd card via my computer as it just says in C: Drive that the device needs to be inserted as I havent mounted it

[Q] One Click Unbrick questions

I have done the unfortunate thing and bricked my phone, now I did see a post in here on this subject but I am not able to open this program/app on either Ubuntu or Windows 7 PC's.
Now my questions...
Is this the only way to unbrick my phone?
Using Linux or Windows, which one works better?
I am using the Rogers one i896, the screen just stays at i896. I will explain what I was trying to do, I had installed Clockworkmod on my rooted phone on the intentions to install another ROM on my phone. I boycotted this idea as I saw another way that had me download the zip, enable debugging, turnoff and place into recovery mode...that is where I got stuck. I obviously made a mistake somewhere, does anyone have any ideas how to unbrick my phone. Not too make it sound worse but I have to use my wife's old Blackberry...a pink flip!

Linux works better. After dl, right click, permissions, check the little box that says make it executable. Click ok. Now right click on it, open with java (either open jdk, or sun java ). The app should open.

Thanks very much, I was now able to install on Linux but after all this the unbrick did not work. It tells me to plug my phone in, the phone is in the USB port it has always been in. I turned the phone in the off position and all it does is show a load symbol similar to the one before the battery charge comes on, when it goes on it just stops at the i896 screen and does nothing else. Any other ideas on how to unbrick this phone? or am I done and got to get a new one? I'd rather keep this one

Ok not to say nothing is working, but I have a yellow triangle with Android digging, says downloading below and at the bottom do not turn off target!!! What does this mean?

Plug it into the computer and hit the button.

I tried that but my pc doesnt pickup my Samsung anymore, it is like it doesnt exist when I plug in. I am gonna reboot the PC and retry.

Are you using a Linux machine?

yes I am I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed, I never had this trouble before with it recognizing the phone.

If you can get download mode, flash back to stock.

It goes into download mode but not sure how to flash to stock

There is a sticky in the development section for stock ROM.

Thanks guys, I have read the instructions and all is fine except that I am using Rogers version i896, if it doesn't make any difference then I will load the AT&T if there would be issues. Second issue I am running into is while my phone goes into download mode, my PC's continue to not see my phone, I have removed everything including the SD card. Any ideas how to get the phone to be recognized as I think this would solve a lot

My friend recently had similar problems and it turned out to be a bad cable. Don't overlook the obvious.

[Q] i9000 boots to black screen NO DOWNLOD MODE OR RECOVERY

Ok so I purchased an i9000M that was advertised as broken (got it for cheap) to see if I could get it going for my step daughter. I turn it on.... I get the samsung boot screen and goes black when it should be booting OS.
Windows still recognizes it somewhat. If I look in device manager under "portable devices" It shows a "j" and "k" drive that are identified as i9000 and i9000 sd or something like that. Although Windows sees it.... It wont mount these drives unfortunately.
Things I've tried ( Before someone suggests I use a JIG............. It doesn't and will not work on this phone)
USB JIG (tested and working on my Hercules)
SD Card Partition (EXT4 and FAT32) because I suspect borked internal storage
SD Card Partition (ReiserFS and FAT32) Still nothing......... then I realized the phone probably wasnt rooted
3 button combos ( every single combination) nada
plugging in USB cable while holding volume up and down...
ADB Reboot recovery/download ( not recognized because I cant turn on debugging)
ETC ETC ETC........
I have been searching google for hours for some kind of clue as to what can be done other than JTAG repair and All I come up with (no matter what site im on) is " Use a USB JIG" duhhhh Its getting rather annoying.
Im no stranger to flashing ( no expert) but this one has me stumped. I was considering buying a RIFFbox anyways but I thought maybe some experienced users out there might be able to suggest something.
My hope is that something can be done with the J and K drive that was mentioned. Perhaps I can format and somehow push a rom straight to the internal storage without any assistance from the phone itself...... I know..... wishful thinking. or perhaps boot straight from external SD???? That would be interesting!
More to this.... I realize this question has probably been asked a million times because it seems to be a common issue on this phone but I suppose my long winded question really boils down to my last paragraph which I havent seen suggested yet.
EDIT: I have a Windows 7 AND kubuntu 12.04 dual boot if any suggestions require linux
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

My Android Solutions should get you started but FIRST ensure your battery is no malfunctioning and Battery contacts are good and not loose.

Thanks. i will have a look and experiment tomorrow.
I'll report back my progress

if it pops up when you plug it into the computer, check if it does in odin. if does in there too try to flash a stock rom. or better yet take this download and follow the read me intructions, except the dl mode part cause you said it doesnt work. try both with the phone on and off. no it isnt the bell version of the pom but it will work. you will problably want to root it then install galaxy s unlock tool from the market and use that to unlock the phone aswell.(cause it not the bell rom)

As I mentioned.... no download mode, therefore.... No ODIN. Unless someone has some magical way to make it work otherwise. The computer knows its an I9000 at least. Kies says its in the wrong mode and I have no UI so debugging is out of the question.
Also: Xsenmen. I was unable to get any of the tools to connect. In one section you mention that AndroPlatina attempts to connect while booting? I was unable to get this to happen. I even tried the "heat trick" to no avail

I got the USB issue sorted out tho.
Follow this steps
1. Go to settings, scroll down to "System"; select "About Phone".
2. Tap Build number about 7 times until "You are now a builder" pops up.
3. Go back to Systems and select "Developer options"
4. Turn the switch on then scroll down to "Debugging"
5. Turn on "USB debugging"
6. Scroll down to "Networking" and tap "Select USB Configuration".
7. Select "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol).
8. Connect your phone to the USB cable and plug into your computer.
Note: If it doesn't connect after this, reboot your phone and connect it again to your computer.
Please let me know if this worked. Thanks

I wrote this in another thread with similar problem, i'll do a copy-pasta here..
Infinix's 5.1.1 has a half-hearted multiuser feature. they fix it in 6.0, and the fix further create this stupid problem.
sdcard is only a link, a shortcut, and the real location which the shortcut pointed got moved.
it is originally in /data/media in 5.1.1, move to /data/media/0 in 6.0. only the link moved, not the content, so you will not see them. you need root to move them to the right place.

Just have to ask, apart from the issues you've mentioned does marshmallow have any other issues on the hot 2?
Thanks

Marshmallow on hot 2 came to me with battery issues which am yet to solve. My battery does not charge beyond 88 percent no matter how long it stays plugged in. Any advice?

The proximity sensor also seems to not work. I tested it with All-In-One-Toolkit which recognizes it, but the sensor doesn't interact with apps.

Note 5 (N920I) USB/OTG Issue [No computer will recognise the device]

Ok ladies and gents,
I've been on a mission to root my Note 5 N920I for months now.
My problem is no computer will read/recognise the device. The Mac's seem to not even recognise it's plugged in, with Windows, no matter which driver I install it keeps telling me the "device descriptor failed blah blah blah". I managed to root my S4 very easily on Mac with Jodin3 so I know that it ain't no user error.
I've Googled and Googled ways to root without a computer or installing a custom recovery without root, but from what I understand I can't flash TWRP as recovery without a computer and therefore cannot root without a custom recovery.
I've Googled ways to fix the USB issue by making the xml file and putting it into the correct folder, but for that I need to be rooted. Right?
When she's plugged into a computer with USB debugging on or off nothing comes up in my notifications except for charging. I tried using the toolbox which I found on here (sorry can't remember the name) though it seemed like I was getting close, I couldn't get close enough before my temper got the better off me.
If my memory serves me correctly the OTG function worked when i first got the phone but didn't after the first update. My mate's Note 5 also has the same issue. I Googled it and seemed it was common issue on these phones.
I've tried to learn some Terminal/Command Prompt to see if I can fix it that way through Debian or whatever, only got as far as understanding it, kind of. Big ups to all you coders/programmers out there it really is an artform.
So PLZ PLZ can y'all help me, there has to be a way aside from setting this thing alight and getting a new phone.
My next mission, which I only embarked on a couple nights ago is unbricking my dad's Note 4 (N910G) that just hit the **** one day after spazzing out for a few days then would not turn on. I'm getting close though I haven't put much effort into that yet.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. ?

Anyone??

1)First of all have you enabled usb debugging and oem unlocking options enabled from developers options?
2)Install latest usb drivers for your model no on pc, use original usb cable to connect your phone
3) Try different usb hub-ports on your pc, it is recommended to use main-usb port to connect device properly which is mostly located backside of cpu cabinet
4)Does odin recognises ur device? If yes then you can flash twrp and cf autoroot both ( Sometimes Kies or smartswtich like programmes enforces device not be reognised, so uninstall them before trying to connect and flashing thorugh odin)
5)Try to update device drivers manually from Pc's administration
6) Try to connect your phone on another pc running windows and see if it recognises your device or not

I've tried all of that, i have a 09 Macbook Pro hand me down running Yosemite with Windows 8.1 Pro n just put Ubuntu on her today through Parallels. None of which recognise the phone being there.
I've plugged it into 2 HP PC's and both just keep telling "device descriptor failed". They're both kinda old too.
Unless someone has a specific driver they've made or found or could make me?? Clearly I'm a noob.
Closest I've found is https://github.com/452/USBHIDTerminal/wiki/How-to-enable-USB-host-API-support but still need root or system mounted as rw.
Any other ideas? Any ADB codes anyone could help me with ?
