[Q] Phone firstly looses touch control after turning screen on, then freezes. - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently I got an S4 Active from a local eBay-like online store (2nd hand) and I noticed that if I turn off the screen, when I turn it back on I lose my touchscreen, I cannot use it at all, then if I turn off the screen and try to turn it back on, nothing happens, it freezes and after 1-2mins, it restarts...
It came with 4.4.2 KitKat.
Does this problem have any solution? Besides using my phone constantly 24/7 and preventing him to go into sleep.
Thank you very much in advance!

You could try reflashing the firmware and see if that helps.

Can I reflash anything else besides this Norwegian 4.4.2 ?

I tried rooting it using Odin 1.85 and 3.09 and it did not work, I tried flashing philz_touch_6.12.8-i9500.tar.md5 into the phone but when I try to enter Recovery Mode, it's still the official recovery mode "Android System recovery <3e> KOT49H.I9295XXUCNE4" ....

Sorry I have an i537 so I'm not going to be able to help you, but I do know you can flash any of the other 4.4.2 firmware meant for the i9295.

Update, I was having this issue only when I had my WiFi turned on, so I did the *#0011# trick and Turned off WiFi power saving. Now it works like a charm, I hope. I will keep testing this.

Samsung Galaxy Tab not turn on after an update ...

Hello, I tried to install a firmware page samfirmware.com my samsung galaxy EUR tab is P1000. installed with odin and all was fine but now the tab does not turn.
Can someone help me?
Thank you and sorry for my bad English.
Can you get into download mode? hold volume down and power.
the screen does not turn but odin detects tab
Thanks.
Connect your usb to the power socket. If battery icon appears then there is hope. It seems like a display problem for me. If it doesnt your display might have issues. Try reflashing with odin and see. Also noob question did you flash with correct firmware for your device. If it still doesnt turn on it might be a hardware issue than a software one.
No battery icon appears. But if I connect to the laptop the odin detects the Tab. I put the wrong firmware.
Thanks.

If odin still able to detects it, then there is hope. But this procedure will wipe your tab clean, even internal sdcard!
Now, go to here and get Roto JMI FULL ROM + P1_add_hidden.pit.
Once you've done it, put your tab into download mode by:
1. Turn off your tab without plugging it into anything;
2. Press and hold Power + Vol down till your tab is on;
3. When you see android shoving picture, it's in download mode.
Plug your tab to your pc, launch odin. If it shows up, put P1_add_hidden.pit in PIT field, Roto-JMI-Full-v2 in PDA field. Check "Re-Partition" & "Auto Reboot". And let it flash. Your tab should be able to boot up now, with root installed, and future updates will not need to go through kies.
REMEMBER: DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FIRMWARE FROM SAMFIRMWARE.COM AS THEY CONTAINS LOCKED BOOTLOADER! Once you get above procedure done and able to boot up, then report back, still have things to be done
The installation went well but the tab still does not connect. The screen remains dark.
Thanks.

Dark as in you still able to see anything on the screen or it wouldn't even turn on? Cause for tab, if battery power reach 10% or lower it will remain dim(as in without backlight, but screen is still on.
The screen does not turn. It was so because a wrong firmware installed. But odin recognizes the tab. Is there any possible solution?
Thanks and sorry my bad english

Start up sound working as well? I thought after repartition and flashing new firmware should make things back to life. The tab never accidentally dropped before right?
Not to sound. the tab never fell. became so after a firmware update with wrong.
Thank you.

Without screen, I can't really help much now. If even charging through wallplug without showing battery icon, I believe your screen is basically defective, perhaps you needs to send back to samsung for a screen replacement since it's still new
i had the same problem before and i panicked. but all i have to do was to
1-flash Roto-JMI-Full-v2 with ODIN (No PIT and No Repartition)
you will get no touch screen after doing this
2-flash the stock ROM with ODIN (with PIT and Repartition checked) again and it will work
Where can I get the stock ROM download from?
Stuck with the same problem. So downloading the Roto-JMI-Full-v2 image. But not sure where to get the stock ROM from.
For me,
I am able to get the battery on the screen when I connect the usb.
I am able to get into the downloading screen by pressing the power + vol down.
Odin detects.
Odin gives me a "Pass" when I flash with Roto-JMI-Full-v2.
But after that I still cannot get in. The Screen is stuck on the Galaxy Tab with samsung logo at the bottom.
Any help would be great since I cannot do anything with the Tab right now.

[Q] Tab totally unresponsive.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab 7-inch with WiFi and 3G running Android 2.2 (Froyo). I mistaking tried to flash the new Android 2.3.3 before realizing it was only for GSM phones. I followed all the instructions using Odin3 (1.7) and everything looked like it worked except it never rebooted and I never got it into the Recovery Mode. I was still able to get in Download Mode so I tried to find a compatible 2.2 ROM to flash. I flashed the Roto JME rom, it didn't reboot. I flashed P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUUBJM2_HOME and it didn't work. Odin3 seemed to install these, I always got PASS. Now my Tab is totally unresponsive. Odin3 acts like it's installing but I can't get the Download Mode screen anymore. How do I get it back to factory or some working system? I don't expect to save anything I've loaded, I just want it to work again. HELP. Thanks.
P.S. If I can't fix this, who do I take it to to re-install the system? I got it from Verizon.
Can you get it into recovery mode? (Turn off, then Power + Volume UP)
No success
No, nothing I do will show anything on the display. I can't get into Recovery Mode or Download Mode. However, when I'm hooked to the computer and press the correct buttons to turn on/off or Download Mode, I hear the computer beep indicating it sees the USB and the yellow COM widget in Odin3 lights up and says it's up and in Download Mode. I can then flash it and it says PASS. I also just tried Heimdall and it also seemed to successfully flash the original Verizon SCH-I800_VZM firmware. Nothing displays when I try to go into Recovery Mode. I don't even see the picture of the battery when I plug it into the wall. Have I somehow trashed by screen?
Hi ! I got the same problem and now my Tab totally bricked...
Samsung just needs to give us the files and software to load these tabs back to stock! That would end the return issue for the carriers and let us unbrick them. Like any other device, there is a way to fix it without having to send it back.

If you prefer a stock rom without or a modified stock rom with root you could flash a 2.3.6 Odin Rom. That will update your complete system and reset it to the default values.

I tried flashing with odin, but then it said RESET....when
i unplugged my phone and tried to turn it on it wouldn't turn on or anything......i can still get it to go into download mode but i don't think that would do any good...should i just turn my phone in for repairs?

Correct me if I'm wrong but... in download mode, phone just reads what's sent via usb cable and installs it. If it's not working I would say it's the hardware that's broken.

S6 Active Bricked? Need Help

My wife's AT&T S6 Active was plugged in and just sitting idle. Out of nowhere, it turned off. When she turned it back on, it booted to the Samsung boot screen and got stuck. It will not get past that. She never tried to root / flash or anything... just normal use.
I've tried booting into recovery mode but it won't. The only thing I can get it to do is to boot into download mode... and if I select reboot, it just hangs on the Samsung load screen again.
She took it to the AT&T store and they were unable to do anything with it. She has probably 1500+ pictures/videos on here that we would love to recover. Plugging it into a PC with or without Kies does not detect anything.
Can anything be done here?
I have a International S6 but i think the proceed for your model is the same.
Try to flash Firmware in Odin. You can get into download mode and think you have a high chance. Look at the forum for more instruction.
Im sorry for my bad english but i come from Germany. Isn't good enough?
Sorry, I don't have an answer, but I have the same issue. Random boot loop and cannot get to recovery. Happened after the latest software update. Tried flashing with Odin with download mode but it didn't fix anything.
If you find an answer to this please let me know, and I'll do the same.

Note 5 got stuck while flashing and after battery drain stuck on charging + pictures

Hi all,
I recently received a note 5 SM-920i.
I rooted it and installed TWRP using a few guides from XDA. After that, i created a backup just in case (6.0.1) and tried to flash LineageOS. I didn't know that there was a difference between 920i/c/g/t etc and i just tried to flash without even checking.
When I tried flashing, installation got stuck (see pictures attached). I couldnt stop installation and go back to TWRP menu but i could take screenshots and swipe up and down. I tried to restart, hard reset, shut down but nothing helped, it was just stuck like this.
Once the battery ran out i wanted to charge the note 5 and try to go into recovery mod to re-install the backup but now its stuck on the charging logo even when its not connected to power. When I try to open it or go to recovery mode, nothing happens.
Has anyone ever had such an issue?
Would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks!!!
You need to flash stock rom with Odin. Volume up and power buttons same time about 7 second and right away when screen goes black volume down,home,power buttons same time. You get into download mode. Press volume up when first green display shows.
Download stock firmware for your model without auto restart options in Odin.
When you get pass firmware flash put your phone charger and leave there for little while. Then again force restart.
Volume, power button and keep those pressed so long that hopefully blue screen start and goes recovery mode and leave phone do work for you.
BTW all these custom roms some how not work for me.
Phone just start to be unstable and restart all the time.
Now finally I get stock nougat rom to work with Nova laugher.
Over 3 hours sot still 46% battery left and no single restart so far. Samsung pay off,GPS battery safe. Greenfinity.
Mobiledata 3G/2G. WiFi on. NFC off. Location history off.
That setup work for me and first time phone is stable.
And awesome battery life.
Hope this helps you.
