[Q] Touch not working after update - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hi, please forgive my english.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Mini, firmware version 2.3.6 (stock). I was looking for codes to enter in the dialpad and I find the "update touchscreen firmware" code. I entered it and tapped "update", but it gave me an error code and now the touchscreen is not working.
I looked for a solution in this forum and I found this. I tried to follow the instructions but it seems that USB debugging is not enabled currently on my phone, so i cannot install google drivers and let the pc recognise my phone as an ADB composite interface.
I already tried flashing the firmware, or full wiping cache and data but nothing happened. Is there any update.zip package which enables USB Debug on the phone? All that I have to do is to make my pc recognise the phone as an ADB composite interface so i can follow the guide in the link.
Please help me, I cannot buy another phone, please..

you should take it to Samsung care

Touchscreen doesn't work...

Even with another rom? Can you get into cmw and flash stock or cm7 and see if it works?

[Q] What drivers are needed for Odin?

Please don't unnecessarily kill any more chickens.
Have you tried Android SDK usb drivers? Someone else on the forum said it works.
Thank you for the reply. But it didn't work. Said can't find "USB Gadget"
hi
i had same problem,i installed samsung pc studio package and managed to flash with odin without any problem
following tutorial in the sdk kit, I got "adp" to recognice my phone from a command prompt in USB debug mode. But when I connect in downloading mode, I get this "Gadget Serial" driver issue. Gadget Serial is not one of the drivers in any of the USB driver packages I downloaded. Anyone know where I can get this?
any answers?
i got the same issue and my phone stuck on the samsung screen restarting over and over
I have posted latest x64 drivers from samsung here on this forum. You can try to use them.

Please please can someone help i was using the new 4.01 ics on samsung galaxy s. Now i cannot conect to pc. I Get an error message all the time saying Usb malfunctioned and i cant use odin to revert back or anything. I have looked everywhere tried reinstalling drivers ect but no joy
I know a while has gone by but just in case someone else stumbles on this thread with the same problem or in case you're still looking for an answer try dialing *#7284# which takes you to the PhoneUtil. Under USB section click on MODEM and then click on USB. Give it a try, it should work
there is a direct download for the nexus drivers found here : http://androiddrivers.net/samsung-android-drivers/download-nexus-s-drivers/ , also suggested in another similar post is to clean the usb port of your phone with alcohol and a fine brush(but remove battery if doing so)

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S stuck on boot screen

Hi, i'm noob in Galaxy Flashing so this is my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 blocked from italian carrier.
Few times ago i tried to enable 3-buttons download/recovery mode installing Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 with Odin. The installation finished successfully but the download/recovery mode still didn't work.
After some reboots (where the phone worked right), now the phone stucks in the boot screen (the one with Galaxy S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG).
With the JIG i can enter download mode but my computer can't detect the phone (Windows feels my USB connection but Odin does not detect it).
If i connect the phone to the computer in normal mode (not in download mode, so with stuck screen), Kies can detect the phone but says that it can't talk with phone in this way(like if it was in USB Debug mode).
I Hope someone can help me
Restart your computer>>>Go to task manager and close all Kies applications (I usually have 2 Kies running from startup)>>>Start Odin and select all the files>>>Put your phone into download mode and connect>>>It should be detected now.
If it is still not detected, close odin, disconnect phone. Start Kies go to tools and install drivers. Once this is complete. Close Kies and start from the top of this post...restart...
Solution Is HEIMDALL.....
Here Comes your solution:
You can easily back your phone with Heimdall.
It's a flashtool which is more complicated than ODIN.

generally no, but I recommend strongly to try another micro USB-Cable & another USB Port!
No one of these method does work for me,

Hi, changing computer worked. I tried on OSX and didn't work, on Windows 7 on VMware Fusion and didn't work. After all, i tried on a laptop with Windows XP and it solved my problem. Now i get a mobile network error, with one carrier it works and with another it does not. The mobile network detected is always really low.

[Q] No root recovery aymore

Dear Forum,
I have a I9001. I've been busy with it for a week now and read and tried allot. Nothing seems to work!
So , my I9001 doesn't have a recovery any more. No root or CWM. The rom works (2.3.5) but crashes or freezes. Then tried every
combo in the book to get into the recovery mode but nothing works.
So I ask you biggest android forum of the world: What the hell is going on??
Tried to get into recovery by recovery boot by pc, tried installing other roms or kernels or whatever.
Also getting a mmc boot mbr read failed when trying above stuff by odin.
Also when I shutdown the phone and I start it up again then it has to be installed again like country and date etc etc...
Thanks in forward for answering.
Greetz,
Happybeat
But download mode still working? Then you could try to flash the recovery via Odin again or a stock Rom, AFAIK those contain the stock recovery as well so afterwards you'll have a "fresh" installed phone... Might work, no other ideas...

Well if your phone is in such a "bad condition" I would download my stock Rom from sammobile and flash it via Odin, then it should be "factory fresh". The only thing that is annoying is that you set up your phone again...

Well I tried and nothing. It says that it passed and that odin did its thing but it didn't.
Is there a program that can do a clean install? Or cant I just clean it when I hook it up to a pc? Because I have access to the internal memory of the phone by pc.

Ok...this is strange...I just connected it to my pc and have access to it...but when I deleted something what was in download it says delete permant I say yes...when I restart it and connect it back to the pc and go to download its back??
Sorry don't know any solution but I'm quite new in here so maybe you can post it into/revive this thread because the Q&A is (in my opinion) not well visited by I9001 users because it's meant to be for i9000.

Thats the problem. There is no way of getting into recovery mode. I can get into download mode but not into recovery mode. It's like it is vanished.
And I dont know if someone from the mods could put this into the 9100 section? I thought I had to put questions here since there isn't a Q/A for 9001...

You can do a factory reset over the dialer on a stock Rom by entering a certain code, you can look it up in the xda wiki about the I9001

Yep did that. Doesnt work. The thing is also that I cant change anything. Everytime when I reboot I need to install again. So it doesnt remember. Same when I connect it to the pc and I remove a file from download that I do not need it doesn't remove the file because the next time I reboot its back. It's like the internal is locked?
I can't find a good page with an explanation, so I'll just type it out myself. If anything isn't clear, ask!
You can try getting into recovery mode using the Android SDK, maybe that could work...
Install the latest version of Samsung Kies if you haven't already (for the USB driver)
Install the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) You'll need just the SDK, everything else is useless for this
Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK (basically you'll run the command cd "<folder>", where folder is something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk")
Start your phone and go to Settings > Applications > Development
Enable USB debugging (if it's not there, just find that option and enable it )
Connect your phone using a USB cable
Go back to your command prompt and run the command tools\adb reboot recovery
Hopefully your phone will boot in recovery mode
Good luck!

Ok so thank you for this but unfortunatly it just didnt work. I think it is dead. Does Jtagg do any difference? Like hook it up to that machine?
So what it does at this moment:
It starts up but everytime you start up it will ask you to install everything again. So it asks what country etc.etc...
When I am in it appears to work but starting apps just makes it all crash or freeze.
Im a bit lost at the moment to do anything. It just looks that it doesnt memorize.
I can hook it up to the pc but you cant remove or add anything. You can just look and scroll through it.

[Q] S-5830L not recognized by PC

I'm trying to connect my S-5830L to my PC, and when I do, the phone charges, but there is no option to access mass storage.
It's recognized in Kies, I even update the phone with it, and a hidden removable disk appears when I connect the phone, yet I still can't access the storage.
I tried installing both the driving independently and via Kies.
There is no notification about it in the phone, and I have USB debugging turned on, and I also tried with it off
Anyone knows what I could be doing wrong?

Go to Recovery Mod and do a "Wipe Data/ Factory Reset" & "Wipe Cache Partition". That should pretty much solve the issue. But if the issue still exists, try flashing the stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares,

I completely agree with @amtdwan. It's most probably the drivers that's causing the problem. Updating/ reinstalling it will solve it
I removed the ones that Windows install automatically, and reinstalled the Kies ones, but each time I connect the phone to my PC, Windows install the drivers again.
Is that a problem?
Also, the USB utilities setting is greyed out. And I can't seem to open the file explorer with Kies, it says "drive not valid".

So does "Turn on USB Storage" pop up now in your phone when you connect it to PC? Did you use the firmware from the site I mentioned? This problem could be caused if you have a faulty firmware. Also make sure you have a working sdcard. Sometimes faulty sdcard also cause such errors. Last but no the least, you can use the USBMassStorage app I developed. For it to work, you need a rooted phone. I'll provide you all the necessary link. Don't forget to read all the guidelines before using the app.

Hello.I am in some kind of a trouble..I just bought a phone with firmware problems,hoping i could make it work.The problem is this,someone tried to update the firmware,unsuccesfully,and now it's stuck with no OS.I can only start recovery and bootloader.
Recovery is Teamwin 2.6.3.3.Already tried to clear cache and everything,to use an USB with OTG,but it's not recognised,ADB sideload also it's not working.
adb devices shows the phone is not connected,and FastBoot says "Waiting for device".Any idea? I've tried,read a lot,but I can't really work it out..
Also,I can't find the device in Device Manager,neither in ADB nor Fastboot.
I tried using Windows 8.1 and 7..Same deal.
Thank you!

Is it a M8 or a M7, because your title says M8 but you have posted in the M7 forum.
Sorry,I am quite scared.It's M7.

First, follow instructions given in this post to install the latest android sdk-tools and the latest htc drivers. Also make sure you don't have HTC Sync installed on your computer.
Then connect your phone to you computer with the original cable (or any other cable already known to work for data transfer - some usb cable are only providing power), reboot the phone in bootloader mode by holding vol down and power. Make sure you see the red "fastboot usb" caption on the screen, if not use vol up/down and power to select the "fastboot" menu. Once there open a command window form the android sdk-tools folder and type "fastboot getvar all". Copy/paste the ouput of this command here (except the imei and serialno).
I've followed that,and still not working.pics attached.
It's very weird,because I was expecting for a soundfrom the Windows,like a new device connected .But ..nothing

With your phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, go to your windows device manager, take a screenshot of your device manager and post it here please.
The unknown device is related to my laptop.Nothing happens when I connect the phone.

Ok so its not detected at all
Might be caused by
a bad usb cable --> Try another one that you are 100% sure its working
a bad usb port on the computer (use only usb 2.0 ports btw)
a problem with the computer ---> Try another computer.
a bad usb port on the phone ---> need to replace the usb/front mic board
Might also worth to fix your laptop drivers problem. Might be causing problem if the "unknown" device is an adapter or usb controller...
Then reboot the computer.
I think we can exclude the first two,because I've tried 2 different USB cables,and with my S2 ,both of them are working,even ADB.I will try to replace the usb port from the phone,and then try again.But,do you think it will work ?
Thank you!

Its hard to tell, there isn't any background info about what was done on that phone. The usb board is pretty cheap so it worth a try if you are 100% sure everything else is fine (computer, cables etc..)
I understand,but,I mean,as far as I know,it's not hard brick,because the phone is still booting..in some way ..so if I manage to connect it,I can flash the rom..am I right?

Normally it should be pretty easy to fix if you can get fastboot and adb connectivity. You could then update the firmware so you can flash the correct RUU to restore the phone back to stock, already made the research and all the files (firmware and ruu) you'll need are available.

Sorry for the late reply,the phone is now in service,in 1-2 days they should fix the USB board,and I will get back with more info soon.
Thank you very much for your quick answers and for taking time to help me!
Good news,I've managed to unbrick it.I asked a friend with a Mac to check it out,and his Mac recognized with no problems.Installed the Os,but still,Windows can't detect it.I've tried on 2 pc's(7 and 10) with the proper drivers.Weird..
Anyway,thank you for your time @alray !
