Hi guys. Fist of all, sorry for my bad english.
I bricked my phone's touchscreen, with update firmware in the *#*#2663#*#* and its wrote 'update failed' . My bad, dont do this. Dou you know any solutions? I tried factory reset, flashing roms ( froyo and gongerbread too), but nothing helped. The touchscreen stopped responding. But i think, if i can reflash the touchscreen firmware, it will working. It is possible flash the touchscreen firmware from sd card? Actually where are the files of the driver in the file system?
Can we explain, what happened actually when click on update on the tsp firmware screen? Which application/ script started? I thinks, the touchscreen files are in the tsp ic, which is separated from the flash, so just flashin a new rom dont write data to the tsp ic. But the files must be in the rom too, because some people did the update without problem, and the firmware version is changed, and the touchscreen works better then before. Do you have some ideas? If you have root acces, please browse the system folder, i thinks there is somewhere a "tspupdate" or similar named shell script/application what i need. But dont run it, it can brick your touchscreen too!!!
Sorry for my bad englis.....

How did you solve it?
Yeah! How did you solve it? I currently have the same problem on my Bell's Vibrant. I also tried reflashing my Gingerbreak and factory reset without any success.
You don't know what you got til it's gone! Back button is really useful!

Please tell me how did you do it
guess op bricked or lied or...
is just being a greedy attention whore?
THIS MAY MAKE THINGS WORSE, BUT SOME DO NOT CARE. DRAGONS AHEAD....
Either way hoarding knowledge is a big peev of mine. I have read about this issue from as many google'able places as possible. I started reading after I went thru the release notes from some of the sX series. I notices that some carriers listed ghost/glove tsp firmware update/support. I also noted as the original poster did, that the files are in the rom. I would guess look thru all the updates your carrier made available and download the specific whole rom update and factory restore / apply it. Should this not work look thru the system folder for the file. When you have it copy it to your sd card where the tsp update screen tells you to put it. Try running the update again.
If this works please confirm this.
I think possible looking in system folder I recall a firmware folder possibly inside lib or modules somewhere.
I read that tsp modes are controlled from, so logically the files should be nearby.
/sys/class/sec/tsp
or depending on phone/model
/proc/touchpanel
I will keep an eye here, I am busy with some debricking and roms in general.
So I got myself into really funny situation I'm stuck.
I worked with xperia mini pro everything was fine.
Now I got x8 well older one... And all i did was rooted it with flashtool.
Everything was working fine from that point with root rights like root uninstaller (I just tested didn't deleted anything).
And then I made "factory reset" Deletes everything from sd card and bla bla bla well you guys know what i mean.
After that I wanted to install kernel but it's not that easy. So I first read alot and did not do that. Since it would require bootloader unlock and thats pain with 11W29.
So just after factory rest somehow I bricked my phone...
But it's interesting brick... VERY INTERESTING.
It turns on, it has flash mode. I can update it via update setup and tried to do that.
Nothing helps all I get is :
phone loading normally, then there is no menu, not sony ericsson home, not go launcher, no settings available no nothing...
To explain my problem i will upload screenshot.
And I can't flash it now since it's not bootloader unlocked.
And I can't access anything from phone.
This is what you call hard brick?
Hard brick is when You can't turn on phone, so there isn't any way to install ROM again. In Your case it's strange soft brick, cause it looks like ther isn't any launcher If You can enter into flash mode than You should reinstall stock ROM and kernel using flashtool (with version 0.2.9.1 cause it's more stable with older devices, such as x8).
Its not bricked. / You can use android commander to push recovery.
It's stock already and I tried stock launcher via updatesetup of SE,
And I think i need bootloader unlock to flash it ? or I'm wrong.
And Later on i will try with older version of flashtools
thx for answers guys.
No, unlocked bootloader allows You to install custom kernels, but some ROMs works also with stock SE kernel, so You don't have to unlock bootloader to install custom ROM or back to stock ROM
So i'm back again on same problem....
I have a Question if you wanna flash phone from flashmode u don't have to have unknown sources and debugging turned on.
Since i can't do that...
My following actions :
I will try to install fresh win7 32bit, since now i'm on 64 and on this system i was working with mini pro xperia, so maybe that may be the case...
I'll try to flash it with older version of flashtools 0.2.9.1 I guess if i remember it right (but on this windows OS It gives me : Error Flashing. aborted)
And I installed flashtools drivers and everything i'm 100% sure of that.
What I tried :
I also tried flashing it from Linux / ubuntu . same as with windows i get :
Error flashing. Aborted.
PCC gives me error when i try to repair it.
Update Service Dose everything as normal but same problem remains I don't get launcher or something just that empty desktop
And I would love you guys if you would give me few links to stock firmware of
x8 11W29 / E15i
And if you have something else to suggest please help me ;D

Hello and thanks for your reply. I tried flashing my x8 with provded ftf file and the problem still remains the same. If it is any help i can normally increase volume, access emergency calls and keyboard and other things. But the screen remains blue. And i also remember that the thing which is supposed to appear here is the language setup, if there is any way to set up main language outside android system i guess that could help.
Again thanks for your reply and your time!

Try Flashing a Costume ROM for stock kernel via Recovery.
Here is a list of ROMs. Just make sure you download one that says (Stock).
Yesterday I installed cm9 everything worked well. Today I woke up with no phone signal. I did backup.. I reinstalled cm9 but the problem persists.. auto reboots and no signal. I tried other kernels ROMs and modems but nothing.
Hey
Hav u tried to toggle airplane mode??
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I changed the modem again and I see networks but can not connect to them and I realized that the phone do not see the sim card.

Im having the exact same problem... phone continually restarts especially after going to "sleep mode". No network access and google play not working.
The installed ROM's were:
-cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd
-gapps-jb-20120726-signed
I also tried reinstalling these two, but had the same problems.
Has anyone found the solution to this problem?

So, No I have installed 2 more... and both have the same problem, is it my phone? Do I need to format the partitions better? What I have done is:
-Wiped data/factory reset
-Wiped cache partition
-Reset permission
Installed:
-cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd
-cm-9-20120826-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd
-cm-7.2.0-galaxysmtd
As well as tried installing the cm-7.2.0-galaxysmtd mentioned above, not in all installations though.
I am located in Iceland... dont think that should play a part in it but perhaps I need to change some settings to find the networks?
Hope someone can help me with this... really is too bad not to have my "good phone" any more

Lucky me! I found a backup of my efs folder... what crazy luck! Im guessing that ClockworkMod Recovery auto backed up the efs folder.
But it was just like you said, the "My Android Solutions" pointed me to this thread which listed more than I expected of my problems.
Currently, my efs folder looks empty, but I think its just unmounted. How would I go about restoring the backup efs folder that I have? In "my android solutions", they suggest copy/paste via Root Explorer, followed by reboot and wipe cache, which I did without luck. The efs dir is still empty and probably because it is read only. There must be a simple solution to this since the backup must have been thought for a reason Do you know how I would copy/paste or restore this efs directory?
I figure its best to create a new thread about this, since this one is very old. For those that want to follow that thread, its right here.
Thanks again for your help
I am having two problems on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001.
The first one, of not being to able to download apps started day before yesterday. When I tried to update apps via Play Store, it would just be stuck at starting download, and the actual download won't start. The bar just kept moving like it does before download starts, but actual download does not start.
I searched for solution to this problem, and tried the steps on Google support... to clear cache and data for Google Framework Services, and Download Manager, and Google Play Store services. Tried that, nothing happened.
So, I decided to do a factory reset, in the hope that, that would solve the problem. And so I performed the factory reset, but the problem is same as before. Still cannot download apps from Play Store.
Yesterday, when I tried to download update for apps, it showed error 927 sometimes. Other times, it shows nothing, but just gets stuck at starting download.
However, I was able to download two apps, which makes it strange. I was able to download Street View for Maps, and Voice Search. But, the downloading for others didn't work.
I searched for solutions to the problem of error 927, and I tried different solutions I could find, but none have worked. I tried the extensive steps given on this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33762494&postcount=8
I tried it several times, but so far this has not worked. It's making me a bit frustrated.
Second part of the problem is that, after the factory reset my phone is in the state that it first came. An upgrade to my phone firmware is there from Samsung. I have Samsung Kies installed on my system, and I have successfully done an upgrade to my phone earlier to the latest firmware being offered from Samsung.
So, I tried the upgrade via Samsung Kies. Strangely, it shows what version of firmware I have on my phone, but does not show the name of the version available, it's blank. However, it does inform that an upgrade is there.
So, I start the upgrade, and it performs an initial download, asks for UAC clearance twice, and then the firmware upgrade window comes up, where it starts to download the firmware upgrade files. Then, a Notice window comes up, with something written in Korean or Chinese, I don't know, with an OK button. When pressed OK, the firmware upgrade process closes, and then the phone disconnects from Kies, and is connected again, and then it again shows that a firmware upgrade is available.
I tried upgrading multiple times, same thing occurs. How am I supposed to understand the Notice in Korean/Chinese... that's stupid.
Also, the latest versions of Kies, starting from version 2.5.0 do not support GT-I9001. I had to download version 2.3.3 in order to use Kies to connect to my phone. Because the official upgrade is offered via Kies for I9001. Samsung is not offering update via OTA.
I am using Windows 8, and Samsung Kies works fine.
So, please help me with these two problems... downloading of apps problem, and performing upgrade of my phone.
I haven't rooted my phone.. it's just over a year old.. bought it in January last year. So, warranty is over.
I am also a newbie, and I haven't performed any rooting, or haven't yet gone into recovery mode, etc. So, if I have to do that, will need proper steps, and explanation .
Thanks.
Update via ODIN. Takes some time and patience but it works much better. See the the index in the GT-I9001 i've made a tutorial

Am getting crazy here.
I keep trying for the downloads once in a while. So, I tried downloading again, and this time, the downloads started normally. I updated 3 apps.. Gmail, Google Search, Maps. I also downloaded Flashlight app. After that, I tried to download more, but now again same problem is happening... stuck on starting download. Tried downloading different apps, same. I don't know what the heck is happening.
Any solution will be appreciated.
What might have caused this? After a factory reset, things should have worked fine, but why even after a factory reset, there are problems?
Which google play version do you use?
Thanks for the link.
The Google Play version on my phone which it installed automatically when I had performed factory reset is 3.10.14

If you have the newest one; V4.0.25 then go to settings > apps > manage apps (or on ICS/JB scrol to all) then search for google play and for Play services and wipe data/cache on both apps.
Well, I have version 3.10.14, and as said in my first post, I have already tried that multiple times, that is, clearing data and cache for the Google Play Store, Play Store Service, Google Services Framework, Download Manager.. but the problem is still there.
There are no updates shown for Google Play Store on my phone.
I have Gingerbread 2.3.6 on my phone.. XXKQD.
About performing upgrade with Odin, how do I know which stock firmware I should upgrade to.
Well, ive searched error 927 via Google ( ) and it means a server error on the developers side. Meaning the playstore/application has issues. Whichs cant be solved by us users

Well, I too had searched for this error yesterday, and as said in my first post, it is quite a common error, and I found some solutions, like the one you told, to clear data/cache, etc. But that does not work.
It does not necessarily mean that the problem is on developer's side, otherwise, it wouldn't have been solved with the different solutions.

Factory reset via recovery? Can also help..
And yes if you have the correct one then you can search for it on samsung updates or sammobile
Update on the issues - one issue solved
Seems like the problem is with Play Store, and that's why I was not able to download the apps. Now, the apps are downloading fine, without my doing anything. First, it was working randomly... but now, am able to download all apps. I now feel stupid to have performed the factory reset on the phone so soon.
Seems like Google are rolling out a new version of Play Store, and so I think that's the reason behind the downloading issues. But, its strange why it happened to me only. Anyone else with GT-I9001 experienced this issue?
About the second problem of not being able to upgrade the firmware via Samsung Kies.. I wrote to Samsung, since I have not got any helpful reply from here on the forum. They wrote back to me, giving me the address of Samsung Smart Cafe in the city, and telling me to go there. That's just stupid. For a problem with their software, why should I be the one going to the Smart Cafe. Obviously, they will charge me for their services there. I have written back to them, about this, that it's a problem with their software.. its showing non-English messages whereas the installation language was chosen to be English. Let's see what they reply... but I am not expecting any helpful reply. It will be just wishy-washy.
I may try upgrading the firmware via Odin, but I am thinking if it's worth it. The official firmware upgrade isn't so good, and has bugs.
I am thinking that if I have to upgrade via flashing, then why not root the phone, and install a custom ROM.
Can anyone please tell me about a stable and efficient good custom ROM for GT-I9001? ... or should I open a new thread to ask about it?
Am an absolute newbie with all this rooting, and flashing, and have no idea about the ROMs.
Hello everyone. First of all, sorry for the long post.
I just bought a OnePlus 3t three days back. Updated it to oxygen 4.1.3 and then rooted it as well. Everything was working fine. But then I decided to downgrade to 3.5.4 since I wanted to try out Xposed Framework. So I downloaded the OS from OP Support website, and went to twrp recovery and installed the os 3.5.4 from the internal memory of the phone. It seemed to install properly but when I rebooted the phone, it started asking for a password. I tried every possible combinations of my passwords but to no avail. I saw online and found some video where I was supposed to flash a new recovery which I did. After that the phone got stuck in Bootloader. There is no bootloader and recovery version detail available on this screen.
If I try to restart the phone it gives me the following error, "Decryption Unsuccessful - Your phone storage has been damaged, unable to read data stored in your phone! To continue to use the phone, you need to reset the phone." There's a button at the bottom of the screen to Reset Phone. When I click that the phone goes back to bootloader mode.
Please help me out here. I have no clue what to do right now. I have tried flashing several recoveries but they give an error "cannot determine the image filename for abcd.img"
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in anticipation.

Thank you for the reply. I haven't yet tried it, since the computer recognises the phone just fine. It even shows up in the fastboot devices list in cmd. Maybe, I should give it a go.

Ok so I did manage to reinstall twrp. But I have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions ?
I managed to fix it. After the twrp recovery was installed, it started asking me for a password. Which I tried and didn't work. But then I just wiped the phone and it went back to factory settings somehow.
Now the phone is back to oxygen 3.5.4 and works fine.
Hope this can be helpful to someone else.
I'm glad u fixed it
Can u please post the correct steps to avoid this issue in the first place .
I'm on 3.5.4 but I may want to try latest versions and come back to 3.5.4
