Worth a shot!

Lol it's fine now, I was preparing to do a factory restore and it just went back to normal

[rocknrolla]

yeah i have the phone now, restored stock with odin, same thing

its not bricked. the digitizer is just dead.

settings for the screen were too high. damn thats gotta suck. guess he'll learn to read now. this also happens with device spoofing. if i imitate a nexus the fone tries to use the same settings as the nexus and gets super bright. i disable it one time.

How could altering software cause a hardware problem? That's unusual. Unless the digitizer was gone from the start

Software demands 01010010 01101111 01110100 01101001 but the chip was built to provide 01000011 01110010 01101001 01111000 so they fight till software pulls a knife and stabs the chip in the 01001001 01100011

Normally software bricks don't burn out hardware components.

There is not any method to recover your touch screen if you flash a boot or a recovery from n7100/105.

Simply you burn the melfas touch chip because is flashed with the wrong firmware and that is the way softwares can burn hardwares.

The only way is the service center or replace the touch by your hands.

I have an issue with the S3. Happened twice before
Everything works fine, then when I take a picture, then go to the gallery, it freezes up.
I press the home key, nothing.
I press the power key to lock it, then unlock it.
When I go to gallery, it won't enter the camera folder, just freezes.
I use the file browser. I get in, but not all the pics are opening.
The pics are stored on the ext card, so I take it out and put it in the pc.
Most of the files are corrupted and can't be recovered. The DCIM folder is now renamed to uCIM, where the u is the farad symbol.

Anyone else had a run in with this? I'm not sure what to do because it doesn't happen every time, just twice before, so I can't make changes and wait.

Dais Mu eh dan, symbol for micro lol

Sky, how do u remove the card to put it on the PC? or do u use a cable? do u eject it 'safely'?

the loading problem used to happen to me....i solved the problem by clearing up any unused files and folders on the sd card. uninstalled applications can leave a lot of junk in there....like folders with a lot of small files that slows down the SD card reading process.

backup, wipe and reflash firmware to be sure problem gone?

hmm i had a similar problem on ics when i screwed around with permissions settings. i dont know but a factory reset is always a good bet. backup ur stuff and select wipe all data check box too.

[BrandoHD]

confirmed, changed the screen and it works now.

How much you charge to do this?

Asking for a friend

[alcom2222]

so any technician in here that can fix my Samsung ace?

[bassotronics]

Hey guys, on your S4's, are you able to transfer files from your computer to the obb folder? I'm getting to transfer files to my phone, but not to that particular folder.

Use antek explorer, to copy and paste it into the obb folder. Your phone has to be rooted though.

[Mr.Bollywood]

an original powered factory cable might help u to boot and reflash with the proper file. they come for motorola phones. dont know if samsung has one. if ur fone uses micro usb then most likely u can use any standard microusb powered cable.

You have to specify what file he was flashing, if he flashed the wrong thing, with odin, which includes the wrong bootloader, it's dead, only way out of that is JTAG

If the bootloader is still intact, then proper button combinations or a USB jig should get him into Download mode, it all depends on what he flashed in the first place, which you haven't specified, yet.

[ismithx]

pwr+ volume-up+volume-down can get your phone to invisible download mode. pwr+voldown +home is regular download mode.... anyway, get into download mode, install the samsung drivers, and use Odin to flash to stock files for that PARTICULAR phone model.... (get the files from xda developers)
