so I recently acquired a galaxy gear and I am trying to put a custom rom on it so I can use it with my one plus one.
I got as far as the twrp, it will boot into recovery but its completely unresponsive, the touch screen doesnt respond at all.
not sure what else to try, I did download a couple of stock roms to see if I can at least get it booting again but it doesnt ever seem to complete, it just sits there saying NAND write start.
maybe the watch is just too old and there is no support for it anymore.

Hi all,
So I have an S3 i9305 sitting around doing nothing. Thought I'd play with it. I had and older build of Miui running on it fine.
Decided to put on CM11, and that's when my issues started. The phone boots, but as soon as I get to any sort of setup screen I can touch anything on the screen. The physical buttons work fine, but the screen isnt.
I flashed a touch CWM and TWRP, both of which loaded fine by I couldnt touch anything.
I flashed back to stock kernel and stock rom
Kernel from - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/recovery-odin-flashable-tar-t1971265
ROM from - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...5/roms-updated-17-08-2013-pre-rooted-t1942150
Still unresponsive touch.
Anything else I can try before I write this off as bricked
Thanks!

1 more thing...get the RIGHT firmware from HERE - get the one for your country.....flash that and do a factory reset after it..and wipe cache....
happened to a friend with galaxy ace....but phone was back to normal after flashing stock firmware from samsung.
Thanks mate!
So I tried some more flashes, no luck.
Took the phone to the local repair place, they told me the screen is broken. They attached a different temp screen and it worked. They attached my screen to a different phone and it didn't work.
Quoted me $189 to replace the screen

Dont think so... tired a few from the SamMobile site with no success. The setup screen shows up fine - but cannot continue with the setup as I cannot touch the screen.

so it is a hardware problem....not software - you can flash whatever you like...won't solve it...
if you like the phone consider repairing it...

Thanks for your help
I am having the same problem.
Even after installing new firmware.
The phone boots, screen is working. But the touch is not responding... I also did a factory reset + wipe cache.
Before that it was on CyanogenMod (4.2.2) and the screen was working properly.
What else can I do TT ?
I changed the front panel.
And it is working perfectly well...
How can modification to the software affect the hardware and brake the digitizer/touch function ?
via kernel man...kernel is the interface between software and hardware....
maybe a frequency or voltage got changed by kernel and something happened....no one can know for sure...

When wrong kernel is flashed, the touch sensor get disconnected and unrecongnised by the phone. Thats why the hardware is broken even though correct kernel is flashed afterwards. Best thing to do is replace the screen instead of trying over and over again.
Hope it helps
I use the Samsung GT 19305 LTE myself.
Hi all,
I downloaded the latest TWRP from https://dl.twrp.me/i9305/ - twrp-2.8.7.0-i9305.img.tar 8.1M
I installed it with ODIN. The flash was a success and when the phone rebooted the touchscreen was unresponsive.
I have tried another version of twrp for this phone and I can get into twrp, but the touchscreen doens't work. I tried replugging in the ribbon lead for the digitiser and that made no difference.
Do you think its a software problem or that I have fried something?
Many Thanks
Andrew
Hi,
there are plenty of issues with TWRP and 2.8.7.0. I'm actually surprised you could even boot up your phone. The new recovery messes up with partition sizes and some other things.
I hope you have a backup of the current ROM as I suggest you to install Stock ROM again and stay on TWRP 2.8.5.0 and see if your phones works normally again
Hi,
thanks so much for replying. I still have the stock rom. All I have done is install twrp. I have tried doing a factory reset and it made no difference. I can still use the buttons on the phone, but the touchscreen remains unresponsive.
So if I download the stock rom for the phone and install you think it might make a difference?
Andy
Update:
Downloaded and installed stock rom from samsung (4.4) ... installed with success via odin. The phone boots and the screen is still unresponsive. I just cant believe I have broken the digitiser by installing twrp?!
Andy
Hi,
sorry for the late reply. I didn't get a notification via tapatalk. But anyway to come back to your issue: it's the first time I hear that a "corrupted" recovery could break the digitizer. I did the same mistake with the broken recovery but fortunately no issues afterwards. But apparently it's possible judging by some google search results.
I never had such issues and I don't know how to help you. Maybe there is a possibility to fix it.
Thanks for your reply
I hope there is a way of fixing it. It doesn't seem economical to fix this phone? The digitiser kit is around £60 ... Plus because I can't be 100% why this happened in the first place, it might happen again with a new digitiser?
Thanks
Andrew
I was looking here in Germany right now what I would have to pay for fixing the digitizer - between £50 and £60 as well, some even charging a little more. For £80 I could get a decent looking used S3 4G.
If I were you I'd rather buy another S3 again (or any other device) instead of trying to fix the broken one.
Did you tried to Flash stock recovery
Hello guys,
Currently I run Android Revolution HD 93.0 by mike1986
HTC Sense Version: 6.0
Android Version 5.0.2
Recently dunno what happened, but my phone randomly stucks in the boot screen with the HTC logo and I need to restart it like 10 times till it runs properly again.
My question is, how do I install a new custom ROM when I already have this one ? Do I need to return to a stock ROM or something till I can flash a new one or ? I have no clue. Thanks in advance.
Btw. If any of you can help me find what causes this problem my phone to stuck in the boot screen I'll be more than happy.
I can't remember which app did this, but I remember receiving the notification on my phone to chose how to install the new update for this app, and there were 2 options
- Normal install
-Install through Recovery (recommended) and I think I clicked the Normal install option and since then the phone stucks randomly in the boot screen.

Do you know how to flash a ROM? Sorry for the question, but reading your post, I get the feeling that you're in the dark about flashing stuff. And that app that caused your issue i SuperSU.

Yeah I've done it many times in the past on my old HTC Desire and now on HTC One by following step by step guides. However I totally lost interest in these custom ROMs and etc. in the past year and basically forgot everything, but when there's something urgent I always come back here to ask for help
However I think I fixed the stuck in boot screen issue by upgrading my TWRP to the latest version, no idea ... but now whenever I start the phone it turns on normally and there are absolutely no problems.

It sounds like a faulty touch screen digitizer
If it does not work with re-flashing stock with Odin, then it's a hardware problem

Try this, maybe it'll help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62388407
Use google, this problem is not uncommon. I found this just inputting it on google, I'm sure you can find many more posts with your problems.
S-Pen uses a different digitizer than your normal touch digitizer
One can go bad but the other would still be working, it is totally possible.
Unfortunately, I have never seen any place where they will send you any digitizer separate from the screen, that is why I suggest a full replacement
THANK YOU MAAAANNNNN
it helps my note thank you agaiiiiiiiiiiiiiin very much

Hi,
I recently bought this phone knowing the touch was not responsive and just looking for any clues on where to start.
The screen works and using the side buttons can adjust volume (visible on screen) and bring up power menu but can't do much else since the touch is not working.
the phone has been factory reset so it loads into the MIUI 12 setup guide. I've tried linking it up with Mi PC suite with no luck. is this looking like a hardware failure or software maybe?
Also there is no damage to the screen
Thanks in advance
Lee
i think you will need to find xiaomi mi flash tool for your device and flash the stock firmware
you can download it here. I dont know much about that phone though so im only making suggestions.
Try to flash the whole MIUI firmware again.
Thanks for the help, I suspect it might be a firmware issue but had no luck with flashing using some tools so far but I'll try that link and see what happens
I've applied for the bootloader to be unlocked and waiting the 7 days for that, is there anything I can do in the meantime?
I've confirmed that the phone works and is not crashed as I plugged a mouse into it and am fully able to use the phone this way.
I tried to flash update via local but got an error that I cannot flash lower version.
Anything I'm missing?
