I installed the SGS Tools apk and was playing around with it. I tried out the secret code for the touch screen firmware upgarde.
I clicked on "Upgrade" for the touch keys and now they do not work anymore. That is the menu and back buttons.
I am having the same problem did you resolve this issue?
Flash kernel or flash everything (this upgrade never work)
Bump... i just did this... Cant figure out how to get it working again...
Ok i got them working again. What you have to do is go to the stock fw for w/e your phone is and then update your soft keys fw again from that rom. It should go back to the original one and work again.
im having this issue to. How do you update the sw buttons from the rom? Please help.

Hello
I have been roaming around for like a year or so now without registering cause i didn't had any problems following stuffs from here. But now...i have like a huge problem with my Wifi and BT. Around 3 weeks ago i flashed the BeatMod ICS ROM and everything worked just fine...then one day my phone started freezing at lockscreen...like it would start up, but after pushing the power button to lock my phone it won't turn on anymore (except soft buttons)...Then i went back to stock 2.2, made S-OFF, then ENG-OFF and flashed a radio (i can't recall which one) cause i tought that was the problem...indeed that seemed to fix my lockscreen problem..but then once my phone stucked and i had to remove the battery so i could turn it off...it started to freeze at bootloader and at one point simply turned on...it seemed okay....everything worked...or at least that's what i thought until i got home and tried to turn WiFi on...it kept saying error...same with BT...i have no other problem with it except those 2...here is a logcat screenshot with what it says when trying to turn wifi on...any help is welcome
P.S: i love u guys xD xda rocks :]
Seems your radio is bad, either a bad flash or a bad radio. Did you check the MD5 before flashing it?
You might want to flash a different radio and see if it helps.
yeah i did check the md5 checksum, ummm i have no idea...i flashed another radio too but that didn't helped so i restored the phone using a 2.2 WWE stock rom from shipped roms or how it's that site called...hoping that everything will work fine, but it didn't , i might just try to flash a radio again and see if that helps. Thanks for your answer
You can check in the development part of the forum and get the latest radio
Put the .zip in the root of your SD, boot in recovery it should ask if yuo want to update
There you go, should solve your problem
i just tried that yesterday...same thing...and the errno i get from BT in logcat is 19 and the wifi driver thing persists...attachment below...
How do you have flashed the radio???

i will try that patch...i reverted to stock before and i had the same issues...hope that patch will help (which ics rom thread? LC, Virtuous or BeatMod?)
Okay,
I would try another ROM, not ICS. If the other ROM works with WIFI, then will be the issue to ICS.

well try to install latest virtuous rom and then install wifi patch.
i went back to stock and then flashed various ROMs and i still have the same issue...oh and btw, my phone vibrates twice now before booting up the ROM, then when the ROM boots up it vibrates for the 3rd time....never happened like that until i flashed a radio for the first time...so idk...i think that most probably is a radio problem...and i have no idea what i could do to fix it...it's like over a month now without WiFi and it kinda kills me T_T
/bump /10chars anyone any ideas? QQ
Hi, guys im having some issues and would like some expertise. Okay so i have an s4 the model is m919v but the model is unrelated to the problem. I was running custom roms and have been for a few months and i have a phone that has a locked sim. I heard from someone that i can flash an older version of my modem and get the service menu to unlock... point is i did it and it didnt unlock BUT THATS NOT MY ISSUE. I decided to then revert to stock because my phone was being really glitchy after i tried the unlock. Now i restored my phone and got a custom recovery installed a custom rom that was working flawlessly before is now also being glitchy the same way after i tried to unlock it,
These are some glitches im experiencing:
1) phone app is taking a long time to load and it doesnt type in numbers fast
2) when i call someone it just freezes and i cant go to the call screen
3) no notification sounds coming from my phone it just vibrates but doesnt ring
and im sure a few more
IM SURE THESE HAPPENED AFTER I WENT INTO THE SERVICE MENU AND TRIED TO UNLOCK MY DEVICE.
Someone please tell me what i can do to fix this because ive already reverted to stock once.
EDIT: omg MY CAMERA ISNT WORKING EITHER! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP IM SCARED

My phone still new 1month ago ..can it be from kernal philiz ?? Thanks for any suggestion
any suggestion or throw my phone from window ......software or hardware problem ?????
Hi Ammar,
I think your problem is in software. If I were you, I install cwm or twrp recovery, do all wipes including system, preload and internal memory, then flash the latest official firmware with Odin. If problem stands still, I do all wipes agaün and install the latest official firmware again. Even if this is does not work then I decide the problem is hardware based.

Well I cant comment on what went wrong.
I was on slim rom once and my vibration Intensity was tooo too low. Because of that was missing calls.
Or you can download an app for checking vibration. Once my proximity sensor and speaker stopped working, i ran a test and everything was back to normal.
Try test you android from the playstore and see if that test works.
Well here is the app
But again as I said, let us know if this is happening on the stock rom.

Once my Wi-Fi stopped working on a Cyanogenmod based rom. I flased stock firmware many times but it didn't work. Then I installed cwm recovery and do all wipes then it worked. As you understand, such wierd things might happen sometimes that we couldn't understand.
i sent my phone to company and told me that vibrate engine is broken and they change it and now work good but what is the problem that caused this i dont know exactly ...as they said either by drop the phone or by water but non of these happend with my new phone
thanks guys for help

We are human being and as you know human is not perfect. So anything produced by human is not perfect naturally. If you could't find a reason for fault of a device then this is the only and certain reason :laugh::good:
Hello! Just god my phone out of service today (screen replacement) and I saw that the capacitive buttons weren't working all the time. I looked up on the internet and found an option (dial *#2663#) and it'll open up a menu. From there, you can see 2 important things that leads to this problem.
Phone's Touch key FW version :0x10
Part's Touch key FW version : 0x06
When I press on the Touch key FW update, a popup message appears on the screen saying (Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!). Because of multi-tasking I can use the phone at the same time and when this message is showed, the capacitive buttons are working without problem. The thing is, the message never disappears so it never completes the update. I've changed to stock GS4 ROM but still the same. Any help? Tried looking up on the internet but didn;t find anything useful.
Thank you!
P.S: Btw, they are working fine in Recovery mode. Isn't there anyway to restore the keys' FW to default? Also the Phone's FW is bigger than the Part's shouldn't they be reversed? I'm really desperate, thanks...!
P.P.S: Not only in recovery, but also on CM 12 (lollipop) it works without problems. What should I do? I don't really want to use CM my whole life, I'm more into TW.
Just did more "testing" on CM it is ok on the launcher, but it also has problems while being in some apps like internet they are pressed by themselves. How can I upgrade/downgrade the touch FW, I found some posts but they were htc only. I can't believe no1 knows what to do on here. help please
Have you tried kies?
Or
Install an older official samsung rom (like the one before the latest update) and then upgrade using ota.
Hopefully this will also upgrade any older firmware.
Ok, so after hours of pain, I ended up downgrading from HOA7 ROM (Lollipop) to 4.2.2. It took me some time, but meh... Anyway, after the downgrade, I accessed the same menu again, and the update for key FW have finished this time. I restarted the device, but it was still 0x10 and 0x6, nothing had changed. What should I do now?

When I said update using ota, I was talking about the rom.
The firmware for the touch keys should come bundled with the update.
And I didn't mean you to downgrade as far as jellybean. Some older kitkat build would've sufficed.
Try updating the rom to the newest variant using that OTA. If it works.
Also, the dialer code doesn't work on my lollipop GPE rom.

Hey! Thanks for your answer again! I know you didn't mean jelly bean, but I had troubles downgrading from lollipop (damn bootloader). Just finished installing Kies, will come back with a follow up. Thanks again!
Btw, which method would you recommend me more, OTA or Kies?
Both get their updates from samsung, I guess. So I don't think it matters.
But my instinct tells me to use OTA
Ok, then I need to fix the Wi-Fi first, flashing NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin didn't help atm.
I can't find a way to fix the Wi-Fi on this version. Should I go for Kies?

Damn, this thing really pisses me off. Kies 2.6 is stuck at "connecting" and kies 3 says it's not supported (4.2.2). O.O

It doesn't matter. There my be a fatal flaw in this idea.
The phone's firmware version might be provided by samsung, but the part's firmware version is provided by the manufacturer. And I don't know if samsung manufactured that.
Are you sure it not a hardware issue?
You said that they replaced the screen. Are you talking about the glass only?
The digitizer is connected to the motherboard (and I guess that's where the firmware for it is stored) So there shouldn't be any reason why it would have a different version if you replace just the glass.
It was the entire screen (LCD/Digitizer too). In recovery, the buttons work perfectly.

The firmware seems to be stored on a partition that is not affected by changing roms. That's why it is the same even after all this rom flashing.
Even if it is in recovery, it uses the same firmware.
I would check mine but I can't since that code doesn't work.
Yea, I know, it only works on stock. Am I able to change it somehow?

Ahh, wait. I thought you're talking about the buttons. But you were talking about code.
Yes, I was talking about the codes . As for the buttons, they work flawlessly in 2 cases: 1. In recovery and 2. When I enter the menu by typing that code and choosing to update the touch key's FW.
I think this is what I'd need. The bad thing is that this is for nexus. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800308
