Hello all,
I have a GTab 8.9 from AT&T. I performed the ICS upgrade last night using Kies and it seemed to load correctly with no errors however the touch screen does not work now. It boots up fine but I cannot do anything with the screen. Power and volume buttons seem to be working fine.
I was able to reboot the device by holding the power button in and then go into download mode and do a factory reset. That went with no errors but the touch screen still does not work.
So, next I thought I would use Odin and try to push the factory rom back to it however Odin never sees the device, (tried multiple usb ports and 2 different pc's Win7 32b and 64b) However if I go ahead and let the GTab boot on up Odin does see it at that point. I can also get to the internal sdcard via my computer.
I also tried to copy the 7300_cwmr files to the sdcard and rebooted back to download mode. I selected apply update from sdcard and went into each of the directories but the device does not see any files in the directories, just the directories themselves.
So.... at this point I'm at a loss what to try next and I'm hoping someone on this forum can give me a nudge in the right direction.
I did reinstall the usb driver
Odin sucessfully recognized this device in download mode 'before' the ICS upgdate, not after.
I am using the factory usb cable and I did try a second one.
I was running version 3.2 before the upgrade.
Not ever rooted
Kies recognizes the device as well, can kies be used to flash my device? (sorry if that's a stupid question)
Thanks ahead
Are you sure you're in download mode, not recovery, when you try Odin. If kies recognizes the device I can't believe Odin won't.
Is the stock rom file you're trying to flash a zip file or a .tar.md5? The recovery is looking for a zip file and that may be why you didn't see it in any folder. Odin uses the tar file.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I am in download mode. As I mentioned, Odin was able to see my GT before I upgraded to ICS, but not after. At least not in DL mode. If I let the GT go ahead and boot up Odin recognizes it with the port showing up in it's normal amber color.
It boots up fine, the touch screen is not working though so I can't use the GT. Once it boots up I can see it in my computer and place files on on it.
Thanks
Have you tried fixing permissions when you're in recovery mode? Do you have a custom recovery installed our the stock recovery, and if custom which one?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I apologize, I'm not sure what you mean by fixing permissions while in recovery mode. I do not see that option on the screen. Everything is factory on the GT. I have not installed a custom recovery. The only change to the device from stock was the ICS upgrade that I just performed via Kies.
Is there a way that I can recover the device back to 3.2 using either Kies or while in DL/recovery mode? When the device boots I can see it and add files via my computer. Can I place the stock rom that I have downloaded from sammobile on the devices sdcard and reboot into DL mode and do a restore from sdcard? Is there a different way to do this without Odin?
Odin... I am not sure why it is not recognizing it while in DL mode. Odin will recognize it after the device boots. Actually Odin recognizes it just after the "Samsung" logo displays... while the AT&T "Rethink Possible" startup video is playing Odin will see it at that point. Not before. Quite frustrating actually. (I have tried multiple pc's and usb ports)
Thanks again for the help and apologies if I am asking stupid questions.
With the device off, hold down the power and both volume keys. When you see the Samsung logo release the power key but continue to hold down the volume keys for 2 seconds then release them. That should get you into down load mode. It'll say something about pressing the volume up key to continue. Have Odin running and then plug on the usb cable. Have you done something like that?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
ok... so I found an old "XP" laptop here at my office and downloaded the usb driver and Odin again and wnet into DL mode and for whatever reason Odin sees it on the XP machine. (whatever) grrr
Anyway... I downloaded and tried pushing both of the roms I found on sammobile.com for AT&T ( i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4) to my GT8.9, both times they completed successfully and when rebooting the touch screen would not work.
Is the rom still available for 3.2? Can I revert back to what came with it when it was originally released?
Thanks again for the assistance.
It sounds like you have a bigger problem than putting the stock Rom on it is going to fix. If you're still under warranty I'd take it in.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I called them up and can toss it back at them, which I will do if I cant find an original factory rom to try and push to it.
I'm still searching for one though I have not been able to find one yet. Can anyone point me to a factory rom for this device?
I'd like to try and flash it back to stock before I send it back to them (if possible) as the touch screen was working just fine before I pushed out the update via kies the other day. Once the update finished and it rebooted, the touch screen did not work after that.
Thanks!
Go to sammobile.com for the stock roms. You'll have to sign-up but it's free.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I've been to that site, that's where I got the 2 I mentioned above (i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4). I believe the UCLK4 file is ICS, correct? I'm not sure what version the UCKJ7 file is. I did try both. Those were the only 2 roms I could find there for the 8.9 ATT GT. I'll go back and look again. Maybe I missed it.
Thanks for your help
I'm sure those are the only two. The other one is honeycomb. They are the official Samsung roms. I think you've done what you can.

Yea, noticed that too. I used the rom from Sammy but didn't have an issue. I wonder if they got the wrong tab version.
OP, can you post what rom you flashed? And do you have an i957?

Regretfully my tab is not under warranty, and I don't know what to try next? Do you have any ideas
In a small way I'm glad to see that others are experiencing this also.
I wonder if anyone out there has a completely stock rom or knows where I can pick one up? I have tried the 2 over at sammobile and neither brought my touch screen back. I have searched and searched online and can't find anything.
I was reading on a different site while researching this issue and he said he reverted back to his original factory image and the touch screen functionality came back. I'd really just like to get my GT back up and running somehow until this ICS touch screen problem gets figured out.
Thanks ahead for any help.
Sammobile is the stock roms. Use the oldest one, honeycomb. The download is a zip file. To use Odin you'll need to extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip. Use 7-zip to do that.

Yeah I've tried both of the roms on sammobile. Didn't work.
Well, thanks very much for the help. I'll keep checking here through tomorrow to see if anyone else has a suggestion to try and if not I will just mail it back to Samsing on Monday. I hate doing that because I need it for a trip on the 15th. Grrr
Very frustrating.

If you can't get into recovery or download mode you might be in a bit of a pickle. Recently did that to my GS3 and I had to send it back to Samsung. I would find and try a USB Jig first, that might get you into download mode so you can use Odin to flash stock firmware back onto the phone. Just do a google search for Samsung USB Jig.
Thank you for your advise:thumbup:lol
That is only way to unbricking the phone?

Well that is the way you can do it, if the USB Jig gets you into download mode. If it doesn't, then you can have it JTaged. There are companies out there that offer JTag Service for some fee. Can't remember now but like 60-70 bucks maybe. Again, I'm sure it's just a google search away. Other than those two options I don't know if anything else, besides sending it back for warranty replacement.
Make a JIG, its' super easy. I made one to fix a friends Galaxy S2.

Great. this is exactly what I did. Couldn't remember the link. Didn't work for me GS3 though. That thing was hard bricked.
Basically I've screwed over my phone.
It WILL boot. However I can't get it to go into USB mode.
I'm on Android 2.3.5 and I have this rom installed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779290
When I try to flash from a backup, it fails flashing system and renders my phone a brick until I reinstall the above ROM
I've also tried going into download mode so I can use the official LG updater to flash it back completely stock. However I can't seem to get that working.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

First you are posting in the wrong section.
Second, what baseband do you have installed. I am running on a Froyo baseband and can't run thrillseeker due to the baseband requiring the GB baseband. You can probably return to stock by using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870
From what I am reading, the LG Updater sometimes will fail but you just have to continue using it.
Good luck with your issue. I am planning to do the same to my nephews phone later today. If i can figure something out I will post back.
I think its V20P which is Gingerbread. I know when I last updated it I used the official updating tool and grabbed it from their server. But again I'm on Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. Will those update.zip files work?

Yea it charges but that's it.
Luckily I have SwiFTP installed on my phone so I can still transfer things back and fourth between my phone and PC over my home network via FTP. Just much, MUCH slower.
EDIT: I just realized why this was in the wrong section. I TOTALLY thought I was posting in the general forum. Sorry. *derp*
Bump
First thing uninstall LG PC drivers then reboot PC and reinstall them. Or try to connect to a different PC to make sure it is not PC related. If that doesn't work then try wiping caches and instsall a different kernel. If that doesn't work I would then try full data wipe and reinstall rom of choice. You might try different rom as once its fixed you can always flash back...hope this helps you.

Well I believe I've figured out what the problem was.
You see the other day while I was charging the phone I accidentally knocked it off. The USB cable got caught on my alarm clock and caught the phone, so the phone was hanging by the USB cable.
Well today I looked at the connector on it and I noticed it was bent a little. So I bent it back up and heard a small *click*
I was afraid I had broke it completely inside. However when I plugged it in my computer recognized my phone and USB mode showed up.
I used Odin to download, but now the Tab is stuck as it just keeps saying loading...
I tried disconnecting the battery, but that didn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

What did you try to download and do you have a custom recovery installed, twrp or cwm? With whatever recovery you have try doing a factory reset and wipes.

I believe I was trying to download a new CWM with odin. I'm not sure how to use a factory reset and wipes as I can't use anything on the GT, as it is stuck. As this point I am hoping that the new IC firmware will be available through Kies.
I can still use Odin from the PC through Kies, though.

Again, thanks for responding...
At this point I'm afraid of "Bricking it" before I can have a chance to update the firmware to IC. Hopefully that will be soon.
I really don't know what I am doing, and I have already screwed it up. The GT Honey Comb is working fine, but I can't do anything to upgrade it, internally, as everything is stuck within the GT!
At one point I was trying to upgrade to Jelly Bean, but now I'm just hoping to just get IC. If I can get the IC downloaded through Kies, I'm thinking that the new firmware upgrade using Kies will take care of things. What do you think?
I guess I can live without Jelly Bean.
But I'm willing to give something else a try, however, I would need detailed, step-by-step "For Dummies" directions on what I should do; and as kind as you are, I wouldn't want to ask you to do that?
Kind regards,

Hi. Don't be scared of losing your device. Will try to walked you thru the process.. just to be more clearer. Can you write down all your device info such as current firmware that u r using? And also do tell us the region ( im XME -Malaysia) because sometimes not all the stock rom can be use to upgrade..
You may need :-
1- kies(for drivers)
2- cables
3- charge your tab to 80%
4- windows/os of ur pc or Mac
After you post all of the info. I or we will try our best to walk you thru the process

Build number: HTJ85B P7300XWKL4
I'm using a PC HP Pavilion with Windows 7 with Odin 3v1.85 that does turn yellow when used.
The Kies on my GT works, but the Kies on my PC for some reason doesn't recognize the GT. I believe the Kies drivers are loaded, ok.
I am using the original Samsonite Cable.
Now you know more about me than my wife does...

Sorry for all the questions, but it's hard to diagnose all the problems from a distance. It sounds like when you tried to flash cwm something messed up the tab. But if it still turns on you can probably get it to work again. Kies is a crapy program so I always use Odin. When you plug the tab into Odin does the com in Odin turn yellow and show the port?

Ok, that's good, Odin is working and now we can get you up and running. Let's try on thing first, can you to recovery mode? Hold the power button and volume up button down, when the tab responds let go of the power button but still.Hold the volume up, then a second later let go of the volume. This should bring you to a menu where you can do some wipes and a factory reset. (I don't remember exactly what's there) IF you can d o wipes try that first. If that doesn't work then try the factory reset (do you have any data and pictures,etc you wantbacked up?)

Hi,
I'm in the United Kingdom and bought the GT in England... It is the GT-P7300 with wifi and 3G. The IC hasn't been released for the United Kingdom, yet, but it should be out in a few days.
I also think that my Odin is working... but the Recovery Mode is the internal problem that I mentioned with the GT. That is where it is stuck saying that it is loading (but it is not loading). At this point my problem is because of that I can't get to anything and can't do anything in the Recovery Mode with it stuck in that frozen loading effort... including wipes, factory resets, etc., it just keeps on saying that it is loading!
Thanks, again, I appreciate your interest and effort!
Are you trying to use cwm 5.5.0.4 that's in the 8.9 development forum stickies? I would 're-download the .tar version again and try to reflash it with odin. You'll load it in the PDA section and only have the auto-reboot and f.reset checked. Don't have anything else checked. Your first attempt could have been a bad download of cmw.
If you're currently rooted then will have to do something different in order to get the OTA ics when it comes out. I just got it for my tab a few days ago. You'll like it much better than hc.

OK! I think I've made some progress...
I was able to get clockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar from androidjinn.com. I was also able to get a connection from Odin as it turned yellow. I loaded the PDA with the .tar as you suggested, and started it. It passed! Now I have a CWM that works. Afterwards, using it I did a Factory Reset.
Now, I have a newly installed hc and a working CWM. But, would you believe that the Downloading Mode is still stuck on loading. Do you think when we flash a new ROM that it will reset the reloading correctly?
I feel pretty proud of myself! I think I am ready for Jelly Bean...
How do I do that?
Sounds great. I've been running jb for quite a while, but frankly I'd wait for the ics. Runs just as good and it's stock. Never thought I'd say that until I tried it.

Two questions:
Which system will enable the GT to be used as a phone?
How do I root my newly factory reset hc so my aps work?
Thanks
I have an i957 tab which is different than yours so I don't have an answer to your second question. To root your device see the stickies in the tab 8.9 development section it should be as easy as flashing a zip file thru your recovery. Make sure you get the right zip for your specific device though. Otherwise you can brick it. The biggest mistake people make its using a file for a similar device rather than one for their specific device.

Good work so far! Now you just need to download the rom (.zip file) and gapps (also a .zip) for the rom you want to use. Put those on the sd card of your tablet. To do this you may have to "mount external storage" in the cwm menus. Once you get those on there, do a full wipe, and then install the rom and gapps. That should do it for you.
To be honest, p7300 can only make calls via root and using cm9 custom rom. Will try to help you mate!! Sorry for late reply..
But just to make it easier, the 1st step is to use stock 2.3.6 that can be installed CWM 5, after getting that. You must download the custom cm9 rom and install into your internal memory(as i can recall all cm based rom will update your cwm 5 to 6 in the process). Will give you the link and try to resolve your probs!!
This is what you will need :-
Download Gt p7300 XEU stock 2.3.x ROM(search via filecorp)
Odin
Pits file
(all this is just in case that you need to flash it back to stock)
Will update my post in a short period of time!

Note to gulf educator: if your going to install a custom Rom, cm9 etc., you don't need to root first.

Good work so far! Now you just need to download the rom (.zip file) and gapps (also a .zip) for the rom you want to use. Put those on the sd card of your tablet. To do this you may have to "mount external storage" in the cwm menus. Once you get those on there, do a full wipe, and then install the rom and gapps. That should do it for you.

How do you mount external storage?
Thanks
This has the potential to become a major issue.
I figured instead of two separate threads, the discussion can be consolidated here.

This has happened to 3 people so far. I know there are many users who have successfully updated to ICS via Odin, but if more and more people have touchscreen issues I am going to take the thread down.
Some information to provide:
Was KIES used?
Version of Odin used?
What ROM was it being flashed from
What ICS ROM was loaded (course from sammobile or hotfile, etc.)
What Recovery was used?
Also please run a logcat through ADB to see if any errors occur during boot when the touchscreen does not work.
Hopefully someone like dan-htc or nrvate has some knowledge to share as well.
Thanks Orlando for putting this all in one place.
I'm one of the affected users.
Was KIES used? Yes. I used Kies for the initial update which completed successfully. TS worked before, not after.
Version of Odin used? I have tried at least 10 times after the initial Kies update with Odin 1.85. Each time completeing without error but TS still does not work
What ROM was it being flashed from? All I know is that I was on the stock ROM from when I bought the device Dec12 from AT&T. 3.2?
What ICS ROM was loaded (course from sammobile or hotfile, etc.) Sammobile downloads which link to hotfile. I have tried each (there are only 2) at least 5 times
What Recovery was used? I use the stock recovery, nothing non-stock has been done to my device.
Also please run a logcat through ADB to see if any errors occur during boot when the touchscreen does not work. I am not familiar with how to do this but if you post some steps I will do it tonight and post results, no problem.
Ill also add that after it boots up I am able to plug it into my laptop and see it in both Kies and my computer. I can drop files onto the sdcard.
I don't understand how a new Rom can break the touchscreen and reverting back doesn't fix it.

I don't know, but that's exactly what happened. I was using it right up until the point I plugged it into Kies and perfomed the update.
Thanks

it just doesn't make sense to me. it has to be a software issue and not a hardware issue
I'm one of the affected users.
Was KIES used? No. Kies didn't detect my tab initially, Then used Odin; TS worked before, not after.
Version of Odin used? Version 1.85
What ROM was it being flashed from? AT&T Stock 3.2
What ICS ROM was loaded (course from sammobile or hotfile, etc.) Sammobile downloads which link to hotfile. I have tried each (there are only 2) as well as the "Default (XXX)" Carrier. Tried afterwards CM10 and AOKP unofficial but both showed the samsung boot, then a blank black screen with backlight on
What Recovery was used? None for the intial load, then Flash CWM 5.5, TWRP also had no Touch working, then back to stock
Also please run a logcat through ADB to see if any errors occur during boot when the touchscreen does not work. Will do and post back in here later tonight hopefully
My device is still not detcted Via Kies but i can read and write now normally to the SDCard via cable from Windows and Ubuntu
Wamaonline, were you able to successfully flash the roms, cm10, stock, etc., with odin? And you only had auto-reboot and f.reset checked and Rom in PDA?

yes, all was green for flashing Stock. flashed CWM 5.5 using ODIN, then moved files for CM10, AOKP and GAPPS to sdcard, and flashed them using CWM
Even tried a custom kernel from the forums here using CWM.
Finally went back to stock HC Rom, but no updates so far.
And both ROMs didn't really complete a boot !
Custom kernel will only work for hc roms

You think that may work ? am currently on stock HC, will flashing the kernel once again make any difference ?

it may be worth a try to format the entire tablet, and then flashing a rom. that means formatting everything in CWM.
Anyone know what these guys did? Any of them resolve the issue? Not sure if it could be related in anyway.

Interesting, I wonder if it's a cwm issue? Have you tried twrp? Orlandos official ATT ics thread in the development section had a link to it. It's what I use. You'll need to flash it thru odin. Might be worth a try.

it REALLY worries me that even a nandroid backup wont restore the touchscreen. it is almost if flashing causes hardware damage.

Yes , still hoping for some sort of break through in the debugging, thanks

adb from my machine is not working when i boot my device normally, can only see it in adb when booted into CWM recovery.
Worth mentioning that the tab doesn't shutdown ! It always keeps rebooting

Maybe try flashing with a newer version of odin. I have been using odin 3.07 successfully without issue since I got this tab. May want to see if flashing with a more recent version actually successfully flashes correctly. If kernel doesnt flash correctly with odin then it could affect the way drivers are handled in all roms following.
Hi everyone, as you can see I am a n00b and am in need of help.
Basically I upgraded my n7000 after running a German version of ICS (4.0.4 I believe) to the latest UK Jellybean. All worked well except that JB is pretty slow and totally drained my battery. After becoming frustrated I decided to try to flash my phone back to ICS and found a uk/Ireland version (4.0.3). I popped the phone into download mode and ran Odin successfully. Jobs a good one.....until I tried to restart my phone. It appeared to boot up as I could hea the Samsung splash tune, however the LCD didn't light up, nor any of the touch buttons. In a panic I tried to revert the phone back to JB which appeared to work except I still have the LCD/ touch button problem.
So, can anyone help at all? I can put it into download mode and connect it to Odin however KIES doesn't appear to see the phone when it's on and plugged in. Should I send it for a JTAG repair, or can this be fixed via the PC?
Thanks in advance!

Thats an odd one really, but I would try flashing stock GB with pc odin, there are many fewer flash problems with gb and it's a good place to start.
Forget connection to kies, so long as you can connect to odin.

Thanks for the prompt reply SpyderTracks, I will give that a whirl. Any reccomendation of where to get a decent stock GB as I tried from Sanmobile and they only seem to have later ICS and JB. I did try to download a copy from an old thread on here but I couldn't unzip the file with win zip or winrar both said "unknown compression type" when I tried to extract even though I could see the tar file inside. :S

Try the unzip with 7zip, winzip won't handle it and winrar is a bit old school.

POW! The phone lives!!! Thanks for your help mate. Just stuck on the android system recovery now, so will have a read up on that.

Great stuff, should be easy sailing now. Best of luck.

Mine did that when I put the DBT release 4.1.2 on my phone, then put a custom kernel. Reflashed it several times with
no luck, then, tried a kernel from a different developer and it worked just fine. Downloaded the original kernel I was using
(speedmod) and flashed it again, and sound but no lights. Put Philz kernel back on it and it worked. Not sure what the
deal was, but with my device, the DBT LT5 rom and speedmod, I couldn't get any video.
Thanks SpyderTracks all working now, battery is a bit iffy but I think that is hardware more than anything else, I've changed the charge port and it's the same. Both batteries are fine in my girlfriends phone though. Hey, at least it is alive!
P51D - yeah I got totally worried, it's really odd, plus I couldn't really find anyone else who had this problem when I was searching. Thought I may have had to go for the JTAG route.
In my 40 + years of fixing electronic circuits, I've always found that troubleshooting ALIVE, although not working properly, is a hell of
a lot easier, than troubleshooting DEAD
