Touch screen had become unresponsive on bottom of screen please help! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I flashed my third ROM using twrp 2.6 and it worked fine as usual but I went to update the rom and flashed the zips it went through alright but said I lost super user access and to swipe to fix so I did but it didn't work just rebooted back to recovery and after a Bunchve tries I finally just unrooted my device completely using qbking's method and it unrooted my device but it is still unresponsive on the bottom of the screen but only on certain apps and the keyboard. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong?? And is there anything I can do to fix this?? Need help ASAP :/

Download the MF9 tar file and install through odin to return to stock and start over unless you have a nandroid you can restore. Sounds like there is something corrupted in your files and it will be better to start from scratch.

Thanks can u give me steps on how to do that and should I run the pit file in Odin too? I saw that some where

Have you tried this with other tw roms or aosp roms? Also you might want to downgrade to twrp 2.5.0.2 since 2.6 is a bit buggy
Edit: here is the link for twrp 2.5.0.2 I got it from sacs rom
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2c9fqr1b8q63cjt/TWRP-Recovery-jfltespr-2.5.0.2.zip
Just flash it in twrp and your good to go
Also flash kernel to see that is also the problem.

So I should try flashing another rom to see if it fixes the problem?

Try going to the dialer and typing *#0*#
This will bring up a test menu. From here you can test the touch screen.
After flashing a new rom rry it as well. This will test if it is the rom or not too. If it works theee but not ar other times it is probably the rom.

I'm getting the exact same error, installed Mobile Odin Pro purchased ages ago from Play, and it just pops the message up then closes down after clicking OK.
I have even tried installing the MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9300-v3.0.apk manually in case that was the problem.
I am on WanamLite stock odexed XXDLH4
on stock jb doesn't work.
Works without any problems on CM10. In fact I flashed a new recovery using it this morning.
No surprise it doesn't work on Samsung ROM though. Buggy piece of crap. They should just resign and appoint Codeworkx as head of ROM development... LOL...

EDIT: Just found a very strange workaround, install Mobile Odin Light as well as the pro version, open the light version and it loads Pro.
Try Pro and it now appears to be working!
Pro worked for me without any work around on jb leak too

Because I use Touch recovery..it will not work on the other recoveries...
flash the recovery via Odin and Flash the ROM..
then you can flash back the other recovery on the top of it to have your backups..
[Edit] try it on your current recovery once..I think it will work as it uses Edify scripts..do let me know so that I can edit the OP

Maybe you have a defective phone?
You haven't frozen anything in Titanium Backup or uninstalled anything?

it could also be an app, among other things. have you tried if after a factory reset, and a minimum amount of apps, it still continues?
No I haven't let. I only have a few apps downloaded. Including ROM manager and that's about it oh ya and Skype cud that be the issue?

it could be possibly. could be rom manager as well(or other root apps). is there a certain situation when this happens? do you have the superuser or supersu app installed?

It happens to me sometimes due to a faulty kernel. It happened on stock too though. It shouldn't really be a problem and doesn't happen often to me. It went away after a day or so anyways.

try this, just as an easy possible solution.. boot into your custom recovery and wipe the dalvik and cache, nothing else, then reboot.

Cm 10.1.3 no 4g

I decided to give cm10.1.3 a try now that it is stable. I've flashed cm on many devices without trouble including this s4. But this time when the phone booted, I had LTE displayed as connected in the status bar but couldn't get any throughput. 3g works fine when I switch to CDMA only. So as a test I flashed 10.2 nightly (which I have run before without issues) and no LTE with it either. So I dug up an old 10.1 nandroid which was fully backed in good shape and holy crap!! No LTE!!! So I flashed back to touchwiz nandroid and LTE works fine. What's up. Very weird. Any ideas.

Same here I'm having troubles with LTE on my s4 running the latest version of beanstalk ROM and I live in a LTE area and have always have been able to get LTE. Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
No..I tried re-downloading the ROM from other sources. Still 4g connects but is super slow. Like 5 mins to open a web page. I have great 4g coverage at home usually. 3g Is working good though.

Apparently you can't backup APN on 4.x ROMs? Not without purchasing titanium backup at least
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
So I figured it out. 4g wasn't working because I'm an idiot and was wiping everything including system. Didn't realize there were settings that need to be left for cm to connect. At least that's the only reason I can think of. Hope this helps someone else so its not a total waste of forum space.

If you have a backup of stock or another touch wiz ROM, flash back to that. Then boot into recovery, and do a factory restore. That will wipe data,cache,and dalvic, but leave the system intact. Then just flash cm or other aosp rom and reboot. Should be good to go!

Just wanted to report that I came in here with the exact same problem and this fixed it for me as well. I was running the Pac Rom nightly and was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I too had formatted system just by force of habit. Maybe this should be mentioned in install tutorials not to do that.
