anyone experienced this issue? already tried removing the battery for a couple of minutes, factory reset, wipe cache partition, still not working. but using S-pen works.
Did you root your phone? How long ago did you purchase your Note 4? Replace it if you did not root your phone.

Nope, haven't tried rooting it. just purchased it last Jan 6 2015. too bad i purchased it in gray market, the store won't replace it.
In what situations is the screen not being responsive? Is it all the time? I suppose factory reset didn't help? Could be an issue in the digitizer registering inappropriate touch signals as you touch the display. Is the screen not being in touch-responsive in all areas of the display? Might want to reflash the Stock ROM using ODIN, if a factory reset and clearing the cache doesn't help.

what i was doing before this happened, im downloading an ebook through torrent and using tubemate app then it froze. what i did was i removed the battery for it to restart. after turning on, the lockscreen can't be unlocked by swiping using my finger or any gesture, but by using the S-pen I can navigate and tap everything just like normal, tap everything on the display only by using the Spen.
yes factory reset and wipe cache partition didn't help. im thinking of rooting it as it also doesn't have any warranty and also your advice to reflash the stock ROM. i hope you can help me on that one as I've been using an iOS device for quite sometime and im outdated with android's tricks..
Rooting would require another thread, because the rooting process is different in the Note 4 than it was when I rooted earlier devices.
Not sure if you downloaded malware which would potentially cripple the device, but factory reset with data cache would have resolved that part.
A new digitzer costs $172 or so.

i'm not sure if this is the one that you're looking for, mine is note 4 N910U.
i also read your post on the other thread and unfortunately, i paid cash.. though the store has a warranty where their tech can check what's wrong on the phone, but if something needs to be replaced, i will shoulder it. they have return policy but only for 3 days. this is the downside of getting cheaper price than from samsung stores.
How much were you even saving?
Well since the "U" is an international model, what is current firmware flashed on your phone? Go to settings and update us
Download the latest Stock ROM here,
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910U/
Before downloading, let us know the current firmware and country of origin, so you that you can flash the appropriate ROM.

i'm using a cheap tempered glass myr20 (around 5usd)
the tempered glass seems like it drain water and my hand easy to get sweaty.
it was obvious when i run a game where the touch keep pressing.
during other time like after a call my screen will be unresponsive and only s-pen is working.
will change to a bit expensive tempered glass. it myr99 (around 27.25USD).

Hey guys,
Just had the fantastic AMOLED breaking symptom of the Galaxy S4. I need to restore to factory TouchWiz so I can go in and get a replacement phone (I had rooted and flashed stock Android and am afraid they'll figure this out and refuse to give me a new phone despite the physical damage) so I desperately need screenshots/photos of the CWM Touch 6.0.3.2 options to restore a backup (the only one I have on the phone).
If there's any other way to do this please let me know.
Beyond that, since the screen appears to be getting progressively worse to the point where I just can't install anything, is there any way I can remove any evidence of root/flashing from the file system just in case?
Please help!
Thank you!

Honestly I'm even having trouble booting into recovery mode because I can't tell when the prompts are to let go of the power button, etc. Can't see a thing.
Any advice?
The wireless company has already agreed to ship me a new device and a return label with which I can return the old one (so I'll get my new phone before having to return the old one) but I still want to do this out of safety and respect.
Hate to be the one to tell u but as far as i know (anyone correct me if im wrong) everytime u flash a rom (dont know if rooting counts) its recorded on ur phone.u can undo this with triangle away, wich can be found at the same site where autoroot is.

just hold volume down first followed by home followed by power, wait for 7 seconds, release buttons, press volume up one time and you are in download mode, connect to odin and flash stock firmware. thats it.
no way for triangle away without screen

Well, they're sending me the new one before taking the old one back, so I think it'll be okay. Plus they're mostly concerned with the broken screen; it's not a bricked device.

Hello I just go my S4 today. I downloaded goomanager because I wanted to install TWRP. It did not work. Now when I try to reset back to factory settings I keep getting a screen that says downloading do not turn off target. How can I fix this and get it back to the normal recovery mode?
i have no idea what carrier or device (i337 / i337m) you have.
when you got your device did you check in settings to see what build number you were running and then check out the material on xda before proceeding? there's ways of doing things that can save you headaches if you browse and read first. cheers
Dude, you pretty much hosed your new phone by not doing your home work before messing with it. I'm sure you're on mf3 firmware. Your best hope is to get it re-flashed at a bestbuy with the Samsung experience. You'll have some explaining to do! Good luck!

You can probably get it to boot by pushing vol down when it goes to download mode. But your recovery is messed up now.
To the OP
I have the same issue. I manage to reboot the phone by turning it off, holding the power and volume down buttons, then when it asks if I'm sure I want to install a custom ROM, I hot cancel (volume down) and it reboots like normal.
Right now, I'm just trying to get mine back into ecovery so I can install CM

You're not going to be able to get it into recovery. Bestbuy is your best solution. Or wait until if and when an odin flashable firmware is available.
Im getting out of it that way too. But if I ever want to update or anything this will stop me i think. I can use it for now but I really want to fix it. nothing worse than having a phone for an hour and ****ing it up.

No, it has to be mf3 firmware and it's not currently available. Trying to flash an earlier firmware won't work. There is a qfuse in the phone's circuitry that is blown when mf3 is on the phone which won't let you downgrade.
Edit, I feel sorry for you man, messing up your phone in the first hour. You're not the only one. Here is what others have done. Read it all it might help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45359306

Yea. I'm with you 100%. I'm searching for a solution myself. I had CWM running fine at first, and wanted to swap to TWRP for an easier interface, and didn't do enough research. If I find anything, I'll be back on your post to tell you how I fixed it

Sorry to say, but you'll be wasting your time. You'll find that there have been many, many people in the same boat for months now and the only current solution is if you can get bestbuy to re-flash it. They and att are the only ones who have the firmware available.

if your recovery is still broken, nothing. you can use the Odin filed for MF3 or find the thread about someone who use a recovery flasher app to repair before doing the update.

Hey... I jacked up my phone installing a custom recovery with GooManager too. It isn't for our phone. To get back to Android from DL mode just do power button+vol up+home and it will send ya back. Take it to Best Buy and say Kies broke your phone. You were trying to run an update and it messed it up. They can fix it for ya. Obviously you're rooted so just delete Superuser.apk and delete all root apps. Just in case. And don't be a derp and tell them the phone was rooted... Good Luck.
(Go back and hopefully they won't remember you.)

This happens on a brand spanking new Sprint note 4 right out of the box. I know this because when me and my wife got our new phones at a corporate Sprint store the sprint installer "stopped working" on first boot when they were activating our phones and turning them on for the first time. This is caused by the way they have these installer/preload apk's in the rom and the fact that the installer has to contact the network and actually download files during setup. This is NOTHING to worry about. Simply reboot your phone a second time and the sprint configuration installer will initialize and do it's thing. This is jst a little quirk but I've seen on on stock unrooted phones and rooted phones exactly the same.

Hi.
I've just updated to version 5.0 and though in general the interface does look better. I'm not liking it. Pet hates are the way you cant see what the notification is or says unless you go past the lock screen and onto the home screen. And also my battery is now lasting a full day at work where before it would last me all day easily. How can I revert back one update?
Stock firmware from sammobile, and ODIN to flash it
Hi. Thanks. Do you know what the previous version was? and do i just plug my phone with odin running and then flash the phone? no need to root or prepare the phone in any way?
I installed the older version and followed the instructions on sammobile.com and now my phones sitting on the initial load up of the phone. is this normal

Nope.
Do a factory reset from stock recovery (you must pull off battery).
VOL+ and HOME and Power buttons together to enter.

Yea, you need to pull the battery / boot to recovery > factory reset, happens to a lot of people after flashing with ODIN
"1)Start phone in download mode
2)Flash KK firmware.
3)Your phone will not start normally either. Bootloop guaranted. Don't worry.
4)Remove battery and put in again.
5)Do a factory reset from STOCK recovery
6)Flash again KK firmware
7)Phone will start normally, you can start customization and other stuff like rooting or daily using."

You're welcome, it was the best answer of "how to downgrade" here in XDA so it deserve to be quoted everywhere

THX!
Sometimes the simplest way is the best way I just did it in that way when I've downgraded, so I wanted to share.

Hi.
I've just updated to version 5.0 and though in general the interface does look better. I'm not liking it. Pet hates are the way you cant see what the notification is or says unless you go past the lock screen and onto the home screen. And also my battery is now lasting a full day at work where before it would last me all day easily. How can I revert back one update?

You can change the settings so that all notification contents are shown on lockscreen. my battery is the same if not better, too bad for you.
Also all questions are asked in Q&A.
I have a verizon galaxy s5 I rooted it with the help and guidance from xda members over here. The method I used to root my phone was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...volte-t2879348 since i was already on NI2 I skipped steps 1. to 2.5 post rooting my phone everything was running pretty good for a few days without any issues but less than a day after I inserted a sim card in the phone it started randomly restarting so did a data wipe factory reset but the problem still persisted where my phone would would either randomly restart or go into a boot loop then I got the G900VVRU1ANI2_G900VVZW1ANI2_G900VVRU1ANI2_HOME.zip stock retail tar from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...42&postcount=1 and used ODIN to flash it but strangely even after I flashed the stock firmware it gave me the UNLOCKED logo at start below the Samsung galaxy S5 logo so I did another data wipe factory reset and now the UNLOCKED logo has gone but I'm getting a black screen after the Samsung galaxy logo. I can enter recovery mode and download mode my phone also gets detected in kies even with black screen.
I'm pretty freaked out and devastated right now because of the suddenness of this problem. I hope someone knows how to fix this issue.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to be as detailed as possible.

I would start back over. Go back with a full wipe NGC tar file, reroot and go from there.

OK I so I flashed this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23610159112652178 through ODIN as you said and now I am getting display after the Samsung galaxy s5 logo all the way to the main screen and although I was hoping that this would fix everything I was also kinda prepared if it didn't. So here are the issues I'm having now, the display is a little glitchy after the complete bootup and even a couple times in the recovery menu the phone is also rebooting automatically after it goes to sleep or if I press the power button to turn of the display and it then blacks out and reboots.
Thanks again for your help so far.

That looks major. Is it still under warranty?

I'm not sure but even if it was does Verizon accepts warranty claim if the phone is without bill and not in USA?
if not then please tell me what you think I should do now and please let me know if you need anymore info,thanks again.

Did you buy it from Verizon? There should be a warranty of some sort from Samsung.
Also, does this problem persist even without the sim card?

Well the phone was a gift from my uncle and I'm not sure where he bought it from but I'm assuming he bought in USA and yes the problem still persists without a sim card.
Also how can I check the warranty on this phone?

Probably need a receipt from the store your uncle bought the phone from.

So if I manage to get the receipt of the phone and it happens to be in warranty and I take it to a local samsung store do you think they will accept it even though it wasn't bought in USA?
Also do you think its a hardware issue or just a software issue as I have no display issues or any kind of other malfunctions when I'm in Download Mode.

Unknown about warranty but worth a try. I am assuming you are still stock NGC from your last flash. Maybe trying the latest lollipop would help. You need to root again. You can always go back to stock if it doesn't.

It seems that the display glitches are now appearing in Download mode as well.
I'll update the thread if I am able to get out of this hell I have gotten myself into by my own doing or if I decide to ditch the phone in its current state.
Thanks again for the help.

This could very well be a hardware or display issue so don't blame yourself.

Thanks for the kind words man but either way I feel pretty ****ty and I don't think I'll ever root again.
I sent the phone to my uncle and he submitted it to verizon they accepted it and they repaired/replaced the phone.
