[Q] Reverting back to stock from CM11 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear friends i have one very important question .. however my SGS4's display died and i had installed a CM11 on it i need to revert back to stock firmware because of my warranty. I've found many manuals how to do this but i still don't know one thing.. Do I need to reset my binary counter after or before flashing the stock rom ?? or it will be reset by flashing the stock firmware? It will be a little difficult for me because my screen is black and the only way how to do things on the phone is by connecting MHL adapter...
And just to explain what happened to my screen... the pixels has slowly started to changing colors to blue just like on the foto attached... It was no way to stop it neither removing battery helped.. and after a few hours screen was totally black... digitizer is working fine..

Thank you so much guys

There is no need to reset any counter. You can't hide it anyway these days. There are eFuses burned already. That doesn't mean you lost support though. Just send it in.

First of all thank you for your reply
And hmm that's not so good ... however replacing screen with digitizer would cost me 165 euros if they would say my warranty is void ... and what do you think, should i better flash the stock firmware or not ?? I can do that through odin with no problems also without screen working..
thank you

Yes, why not. Shouldn't harm.

[Q] Android on HTC Touch Pro (Problems and Questions)

Hi,
I want to install Android on my HTC Touch pro. Now I've done a bit of research but I still ain't sure.
I Live in Malta, and bought an unlocked phone from the UK (eBay). I downloaded the XDAndroid thing from the XDAndroid Wiki but I don't know which is my exact model. I went with the RAPH800, and when I ran it, it seemed to get stuck on the booting. it said something about a bug :S I only could pull off the battery, as nothing else would work.
So, Im back to step one.
1. Which exactly is my phone model?
2. If it was the RAPH800, does it normally get stuck on 'bug KENDEL' something like that
3. How long does the booting take overall?
major props to any1 who helps me
EDIT: I also wanna do the Dual-Boot thing using using GenY-DualBOOT (got it from this website). Any1 can help me doing that, and if its worth it or no
Thanks guys.
P.S. I'm a noob, so I need very detailed instructions
OK, I have a new problem. i downloaded another installer, and it didn't crash. (There was a default SETUP.txt file so I used that. I'm getting to the XDAndroid screen, but then some grainy aindroid toolbar comes, my phone vibrates, and stops there :S
Any ideas (pics to follow soon)
Pics are huge, like 2MB each, and it doesnt let me post from tinypic before 7 posts -.- Hopefully you know what I mean

As you can see, 3rd and 4th is where the problem arises. The other 2 are just there so you see what comes in the meantime.

Last BUMP. If I don't get helped, I'll just give up

This might not be the right section to post this in. I would suggest going to the android development section for your specific phone.

Is the phone fuctional and only the screen is not working? And I couldn't understand it - is the digitizer not working, like the phone cannot respond to your touch, or the whole screen, like theres no image. And do you have backlight on the screen or only on the buttons?
I think putting the phone into fastboot mode, and flashing a new ROM could be a solution - if it's not working, then I think it's the screen's problem, you should send it back to warranty.
hey
thanks for your answer!!
i saw anything on the phone. backlight worked too!
today i sent my phone to LG warranty service..
i'll report what they do
Hey Guys!!
On Monday morning GLS arrived my house...
LG with GLS is very fast :O
i sent my phone at tuesday with GLS to LG and on monday GLS brings me the phone back. lol, very fast!
now i've got a new touchscreen - no scratches/scars/...!!
its very nice!

try battery calibration
This is common problem on the galaxy tabs. Dont worry just yet. I had the same problem on the stock rom but as soon as I flashed task650's rom the problem dissapeared. Try just using the tab a couple of charge cycles(charge all the way, then let die completly). There also some apps on the market that will reset battery stats but I think you might have to root to do that. If you havent already, I would try to root/install custom recovery, because this gives you many more ways to troubleshoot your problem.

stable nougat based custom rom

Hi,
A little history, my wife phone screen broke and got replaced by a (Class A) 3rd party screen in a cellphone repair shop.
A couple of days after the fix, she got a notification on the J7 system upgrade, I did advice her to wait a couple weeks before applying the upgrade since there might some problem that might come up (aside from firt time seeing a system upgrade from Samsung phone).
She got impatient (more likely annoyed to the constant system notification) and applied the upgrade resulting to the screen being unresponsive to touches(no touch syndrome).
She went back to the shop that replace the broken screen and they say that they could fix it. (which the did)
Now as it stands her phone already has a custom rom, attached the system info. Not sure if what the shop claims about the real reason behind the no touch issue is the 3rd party screen, that an original screen is needed in order to have it (j7 pro) working on oreo.
Though the did fix the no touch issue, but the overall user experience has been not ideal. Noticeable problem are random restart, cant't remember wifi passwrd after restart and non working Bluetooth. (there might be more).
I have some experience in rooting and installing custom rom on my phones before (Nexus 5X, Xiaomi Redmi Not4x and Nextbit Robin), but somehow I am putoff rooting Samsung phone because of ODIN. But since her phone has already TWRP installed, I think I can manage here (already install Magisk on her phone).
Can anyone here recommend a nougat based custom rom which is stable and have little to no issue (like the ones mentioned above).
thanks in advance.
