[Q] help.about samsung keyboard

Hello.I have an N900. I have rooted the phone.I don't know why but for some reason the samsung keyboard keeps giving me force close (unfortunately samsung keyboard has stopped) and not working. and the strange thing is that I can't use touch buttons except the physical home key. that buttons (menu and back keys) are working.I mean when I touch them the key light turning on,but no action. for example when I touch back key, the key key lights up,but in screen, it doesn't go back. I hope you understand my question and my problem.
my phone: PDA:MK2/PHONE:MK1/CSC:MJ3(EGY)
I think this problems can be solved somehow. I can't and I don't want to change this stock rom. can anyone help me ASAP? please?:crying:
Can you re flash and wipe the phone? Sounds like a dirty install of the rom itself

NO.I didn't flash the rom.it's the stock rom since I bought the phone. I used OTA that it updated to MK2. I did even use factory reset but no use! the samsung keyboard still gives me error. I installed another keyboard (google keyboard) and it seems that the problem has gone. but I want to solve the samsung keyboard problem. if there was a flashable samsung keyboard for this base, that would be great! also another question: can someone tell me how can I solve another strange problem? I flashed custom recovery with odin, but in recovery,it can't mount and recognize external memory card! the memory card hasn't any problem in the rom, the problem only exist in recovery!

Re-download the rom from sammobile and reflash it.
isn't there any flashable samsung keyboard for SM-N900?

[Q] Help. Please. Rooted s4 to custom ro

Hello,
I recently rooted my sgs4 gt-i9505 to the goolge edition using a YoTube tutorial on how to do so. Everything worked fine at the start but when I tried to install the PAC man rom, it jus stayed in the loading screen.
I restarted and tried rebooting but to no avail. I went back into the recovery mode and wiped the phone (divlac, cashes and system) then I reinstalled the google rom to find my wifi was not working. I tried the same process again, wipe- reinstall. Now I can't receive calls, the wifi doesn't work, home button only works on double tap, pull down status bar works but nothing in displayed.
My question is, does anyone have any ideas on how I would return my device to normal or know a full proof recovery and rom I can use that will correct these problems.
I am in the UK if that makes any difference.
Thanks for all and any help.
Matt

You could try to go back to stock and check if everything still works there.
Did you flash the correct modem/baseband for the ROM / your carrier? There is a thread in general for all the modems. Chances are with a KitKat ROM you need to update your modem. Read that thread and give it a go. The file is about 15mb and takes a minute to flash in Odin. Failing that go back to stock.
Nothing in status bar: that's what it looks like in stock, you can use 2 fingers for the quick settins. Installl WANAM XPOSED fromwork for more tweaks and options!!
Home button double tap: that's the way it works on the google edition, that's just it. BUT wanam xposed can change this with the Gravity Box module!! You could try the Echoe 2.2 kitkat rom it has xposed pre-installed.
Keep in mind things look blanker and less functional as you no longer have samsung touchwiz which adds a LOT of stuff to the stock experience!
One more thing: ALWAYS make a nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING at all, you never know when you will need it. Backup the nandroid to your PC also just in case, things go missing/ get deleted! T

Shut down issue after rom install

I installed Hyperdrive rls19 on I337 everthing works good until I go to shut it down.I go through the process to shut it down it buzzes and everything,but the blue light stays on and the menu and back key stays lit.Is there a way to fix this or do I need to delete it?I`m just new to this rom stuff.
I believe I figured out what is wrong,it has to be safestrap. I`m running version 3.75 and roms don`t work right on the rom slots.You can only use rom slot 1,the others doesn`t do anything.But every rom I tried on rom slot 1 will not shut all the way down or even restart.Is there anyone that might know how to fix this issue and is anyone else having issues like that in safestrap?My phone is a ATT samsung galaxy s4 I337.Any help would be appreciated.

I tried every custom rom but same issue
Error code 7
My phone storage is almost 70%free
Plz help me to solv this
Are you sure you're using ROM built ONLY for G360H? None of us faced that error. Also remember Roms made for other device won't work and you may hard brick your device.

I use this method also which is given in link but same issue ?
Idk man. You should probably try flashing official stock firmware using Odin. Its really easy. Then flash twrp by dreamstar. And start flashing custom ROMs.
I was on stock of Saudi Arabia. But I never used it after we got various CM builds..
I am on RR 5.8.3 by hash now.
Thnx for ideas
my problem solved
Now Installed​ lineage 7.1
Bdw how to close this Thread ?

You should ask on that thread of ROM. Maybe hash can help you!
Good luck.
Help i'm not sure but i think i might have bricked my sm-g360h.
HELP I'M NOT SURE BUT I THINK I MIGHT HAVE BRICKED MY SM-G360H. When i had some issues with my phone, I used twrp to flash cyanogenmod 12 custom rom on my phone some two weeks ago and it flashed properly. After a number of issues, i decided i wanted to go back to the stock rom. so i downloaded the firmware from sammobile, installed odin and flashed it with odin. when the flashing was done successfully, my phone rebooted instead of giving me the screen of a newly launched phone it went to the home screen, and had a pattern lock screen and tried my pattern lock from when i was on cyanogenmod 12 and it unlocked it. and gave me the screen of a newly lauched phone but before i could continue with startup, it rebooted immediately and each time it get to the lock screen, it goes to the screen with the samsung logo after some few seconds and then come back to the lock screen please help what do i do?
PS: one of the issues i had that made me want to return to the stock rom was the fact that i couldn't change my screen lock to none or swipe after i decided to use pattern on the cyanogenmod

Sounds like problem of dirty flash not hard brick.
Here's what you should do.
1) go to twrp recovery using power + vol up
2) wipe everything except storage
3) Flash cm 13 beta 5 or 6 ( the latest beta) or lineage OS or RR
4) if the problem still exists, then used Odin to flash stock ROM and repeat steps 1 to 3
Also don't use cm 12. Its EOF and you won't get any bug fixes and updates.

half blue half black screen after flashing a rom

hi everyone.
i am having this wierd issue for a month or so, when i try to update RR rom.
after i flash the rom, i get the screen attached. screen seems for like 2 seconds, and goes this half black / half blue screen. screen is still responsive, i can receive calls and if i double tap anywhere, screen locks. there is no problem with screen on twrp or anything ( because sometimes after flashing the rom i dont get this screen, so i don't do anything else, except use it normally.) but today it happened without a reason, the phone was in my pocket when i took it out and saw the screen in this state.
i always flash by following the steps given. i know it is not hardware related. where is the problem? what do i need to do?
p.s. : when charging, blue part goes yellow.
thank you all, waiting for a solution

First go to recovery and check that display problem present or not if not then flash any other custom rom or reflash rr
if you are unable to go to recovery then flash stock rom via odin it will fix every software related issue
and if flashing stock rom doesn't work then it may be hardware issue
You confirmed the model # in download mode? Tried using different version of TWRP?
I am facing same problem recently, did you find any solution ?
still no solution. this problem is not hardware related since i can use it perfectly now. i tried to flash (via twrp) RR-N-v5.8.5 exactly as described in op. rom boots, i can see the home screen for a brief moment but screen goes immediately black and blue. i can receive calls, lock and wake screen, that's all. then i have to restore everything. i am currently on hexagon rom v2.5 and no issues but i like RR.
again, this problem is not hw related. i follow all the steps again and again checking everything..
any ideas?
blue screen

clean install worked for a day or so, until i turned off ambient dislpay and restart. then it went blue&black again.
i tried a few kernels, some bootloaders and modems (including nordic) but problem persists.
i will try to get a logcat :/
In case anyone has the same problem: reboot to safe mode, go to settings, flip cover and turn off S-View flip cover.
