[Q] I957 ATT , touch screen not working after ICS upgrade

Hello,
I have gotten the stock ICS rom from samfirmware.com, Installed using ODIN and it all went green.
However, after restart the touch screen is not working !
I have tried the following:
1. First the Default (XXX) ICS rom
2. Second, the Actual ATT ICS rom
3. Flashed CWM and it is working
4. Then tried AOKP unofficial rom, not starting
No luck so far, any help is much appreciated please.

The touch screen was working after step 3?

First was this one sammobile (dot) com /firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-I957&pcode=XXX&os=1&type=3#firmware[/url]
Then when it didn't work, tried this one

Sorry, I meant the cwm recovery was flashed correctly and functioning
Btwi tried the fix permissions suggestion from the similar thread but no luck

What version of odin did you use? The roms look ok. If you didn't use ver 1.85 download that and re flash the Rom.

It is the Odin version I have used,
One more note now, am not sure if that is normal if not.but after the latest flash ( preceded by a data wipe and format ) I can now see zip file I have placed on sdcard but can't access them for flashing and/or ad new zip files from pc

In cwm do a factory reset, wipe and format system and data and then boot. I'm hoping that will solve the problem.

Tried,booted, "SAMASUNG"screen only ( as expected sicne i formatted the system ), then re-flushed the ATT ICS and same output
Am trying to get a new ROM flashed, but when the device powers up [ without me going through the wizard ], i can't write anything to SD from my PC.
Any info around here about flashing CM or AOKP using ODIN for this I957 ?

Not with Odin that I'm aware of. All are zip files and would go thru cwm. If you get only to the Samsung logo, my experience has been a factory reset usually gets you past that and if that doesn't work flashing the stock rom with Odin does. And I'd flash the honeycomb rom and bring it back to they way I bought it, then upgrade to ics

Tried the honeycomb step, still same problem
As for Booting to samsung screen .. i did format /system as suggested, so there will be no system to boot to i think

I'm at a loss, you've tried everything that has gotten me beyond the boot screen.
Anyone else have any ideas?

I should mention something that has gotten me worried, i flashed a TWRP recovery to check if the touch would work there, but it didn't.
Not sure if i should be worried about HW now, or try another TWRP for instance? Or perhaps TWRP shares another flawed tab wide configuration with the Android image ?

It's not twrp, I use it on my tab and it Works fine. If you were the only one who has this problem I'd say hardware for sure. But at least one other person has the same problem after updating to ics. It seems like there something with the firmware interfacing with the touch screen.

Good question. One of the guys couldn't get the touch screen to work in twrp either. It sounds like a hardware issue but to have a few guys have the same problem after installing ics? I don't know? Something's doing it which I can't figure out

Think the other colleague did say he found someone elsewhere who resolved the problem by reverting to an older backup he had, which gives me hope that this is no hw issue
And this was my first time to flash any ROM without a backup first, thought a stock update would be fine !!
Can I use adb for instance to verify if it was a hardware issue,if so then any help is appreciated

after succesfull flashing isnt rooted

Hi all,
I have problem with rooting of my moto.
I had finally found solution to bring recovery into phone by this thread (any other didnt work)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166646
Then I try zip from mattlgroff thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123369,
in recovery is writen that flashing is complete, but after reboot there isnt any superuser application in drawer so it seems that phone isnt rooted.
I have XT890 JB, retail.en.EU, bootloader unlocked
Do you know where can be problem, or what Iam doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hmm, dunno. Maybe reinstall the zip a second time? Otherwise, u can always use a pre rooted ROM from the development section

[Q] Flashing rom's with 4.3 knox-bootloader

Bloatware, force closes and all of that... NO.
Im done with stock rom and now is a good time to void my warranty!
I dont want to brick my device at the first place so maybe someone could help me out and explain how to flash rom's with this thing?
There seems to be so much different ways to do things but Im on a risk of bricking if I just go and flash things with this knox-bootloader...
Please clear out the procedure for me

So, I just found this thread.
Flash recovery, backup IMEI / NV Data and then I can flash 4.3 and 4.4 roms like I want..?

basically for flashing custom roms/kernels, these are the things needed:
- root acces
- custom recovery like cwm/philz/twrp
and youre good to go. remember to flash only roms/kernels/recoverys made for i9305 specifically, otherwise youll risk bricking your phone!
to avoid any problems in recovery while flashing roms, use always the latest recovery version as those are compatible with the newest roms around.
:good:

So this knox-bootloader wont cause any problems with 4.3 and 4.4 roms?

no it wont, cause when updating the supersu binary supersu app will ask you to deactivate knox so it wont bother with any settings or apps on your device after deactivated

Downgrade/flash a GB ROM (v20x) x=any ROM and your bootloader is unlocked and you can root and flash custom ROMs. You had ICS installed I guess. This does have a locked bootloader and cant be rooted properly. At least u cant install a custom recovery like CWM or something similar.

Wrong. If you install cwm or whatever other recovery and have the v30 (ICS) bootloader on your phone, it will say: SECURITY ERROR. Which means you are softbricked. If you have the v20 bootloader, it will work, since this bootloader is unlocked by default. That the recovery is accessible via this button combination is true however.

Man, I was on V30B stock (now on izs v2) and i could install CWM via Rom Manager and acces it from phone turn off with the key combo. But I have a problem....maybe you know the solve for it. I can't downgrade from ICS, not even with SFT. I can flash ROMs above ICS(JB , KK) but when I try to install a Froyo or GB (stock or custom rom based on GB) i get a bootloop.

I already read about your issue and also read about that problem more often, but we never found a solution to that problem... Seems like buggy/read-only storage. Maybe contact a LG dev, hope they can help you. But trust me, if you have CWM running, no matter how you boot in it, you have the GB or even Froyo Bootloader(uboot/xloader, dont remember which one it was exactly...)
But if you had the v30 (ICS) you would see a security error. Did you once maybe install a 2nd init ROM, which allows to boot two different ROMs? If you dont know what I am talking about, I can try to find it. I think it was a ROM by BPaul.
But OT END here. Lets discuss this in your thread.

My sp stuck in boot loop
Hi guys, Please HELP!!!
So I rooted my phone a while ago and it was all fine until yesterday, when I changed the boot animation, stupidly, I forgot to rename the original boot animation zip so when I downloaded the new one, They both had the same name. Not realising this I went ahead and restarted the phone and I'm guessing the system did not know which one to use and is stuck on bootloop, is there any way out?

Heya there!
Did you make a backup of your ROM in a recovery? If so, boot into recovery and restore your backup.
If you don't have a recovery and didn't make a backup,the only way out would be to flash stock ftf file for your specific phone (C530X, area/region) using Flashtool by androxyde. THIS METHOD WILL WIPE EVERYTHING except your external SD

Hi, if they both had the same name then the system would've simply overwritten the old one and put the new one in. If you have a backup of your rom you could extract the original bootanimation and use a flash-able zip with your original boot animation. Or just download another bootanimation that works with sp and then just flash it.

Hi,
I own a C5303 and running on firmware 12.1.A.1.205. I would like to know what are the tools I need to root. I am aware I need to unlock the bootloader as I have some experience rooting other android devices. I have downloaded flash tool but I couldnt somehow get into the bootloader. I would like some suggestions for what firmware to use and the process to root. I did not get the latest OTA update(12.1.A.1.207) from my carrier (Virgin Mobile Australia). I have also experienced the annoying screen brightness changing from time to time.

check first that unlocking the BL is possible
Do this by going into the stock dialler entering *#*#7378423#*#* a window will open
Proceed to press service info then configuration and you can find out under rooting status if it says no your BL cannot yet be unlocked (like me). if yes you can unlock
Phone must be powered down to continue
To enter fast boot to unlock the BL press volume up then while holding it plug in the USB into your device if done correctly greenlight will appear ( do this when flash tool tells you to connect your device.) Process will ERASE internal storage so backup and DRM keys will be lost so backup those as well think there's a thread for that somewhere. Good luck phone will reboot afterwards

Hey, I want to change my GApps package which has been giving me FC's since day one. It's been a month now, so I don't wanna wipe and start anew. Any Ideas??[emoji4]

I'm afraid the only way that I know of is to wipe and start over.

Yes.
Something not mentioned in the thread was if you use flashtool to unlock your boot loader (by pressing "BLU", " Unlock Boot loader" then enter the unlock code) it is much easier and will automatically backup ur DRM keys so if you want to relock (BLU, Unlock Boot loader, there will be a new button saying relock boot loader and the unlock code will still be entered) the DRM keys will be automatically restored.
This is for some versions of Flashtool by Androxyde... Not sure if its for all.
