I tried to unroot my phone via OCLF from the market. It went dark, then got the normal Vibrant screen, the the Galaxy S screen, then it went dark again. Now, it just sits. Black screen. All the buttons at the bottom are lit up. :-/
Anyone?
Silly question, I know. But did you have a nandroid backup, by any chance?
This is probably a last resort, but try boot into recovery and wipe everything. This fix the problem for me, the downside is you lose all you data.

If you are anything like me, recovery didn't work and using Odin and reflashing Stock with repartition didn't work either.
You'll need to use odin to flash Eugenes "Vibrant that doesn't brick" (NO REPARTITION), then use odin again to flash Stock (check repartition this time) and you'll be good to go.
You can try to flash the froyo rom with odin...... I had that same exact problem and this is what fixed it for me. Once froyo us flashed then you can flash whatever rom you want. Hth
Ok, I probably should have stated that I'm a complete newby and have no idea what I'm doing. I believe I do have nandroid, but other than that you all are speaking French to me.
Right now I'm in the recover mode (I think). It's hooked up to my computer and I'm in the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" mode. This is where I'm stuck...I have no idea where to go from here.
Please talk to me like I'm a 5 year old, because as far as this is concerned, I am!
Oh, and thank you so much for any help you can give me!

Well, good news is... you didn't brick your phone, this is recoverable. Best idea would be to search the forums on how to ODIN back to Stock. Theres plenty of posts on how to do it. You should also be able to find this in the tips & tricks threads. Good Luck.
Thank you all for your help! I recovered it!! Seems as though I was just going about it the wrong way!! I got into the actual recovery mode and cleared it all out. Now it's as good as new!
Again, appreciate your help and patience with what I'm sure is the 120,000th post on this subject. ;-)

Is it even possible to make a nandroid backup before rooting?

Hey - what does you doing? Please told me, I've the same problem:
If I start the phone with an USB cable and the battery symbol with the running point under this, the PC recognize that something is connected, but Windows found no driver....
How could you could flash the Stackfirmware back, if the recovery and download menu does not work ?
PLS help !!!
Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=8129898

It isn't -> it's a Firmware for the normal Galaxy (3key)[I'm a idiot]
First,
You must already Have Odin installed & Know how to boot into Down-loader Mode!!

Thats also the problem as described in front : I have had no chance to received the DL Mode.. maybe I make something wrong? The phone is booting up till the "S" is there, after that, the screen is black, keys are lightning...
The recovery 3button are blocked from the beginning; the DL Menu - I did not have reached it successfully
The PC recognize, that is something on USB, but not what ... so Odin did not see the Mobile, too.
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.

Okay, the phone showed up in ODIN. Downloading a stock firmware package for my carrier right now but I'm honestly not sure how to use Odin to flash it? Is there a tutorial anywhere? Thanks for the help!

I have an N-910F and managed to flash the auto-root for the N-915 - The touchscreen is now weirdly offset and doesn't properly respond to touch input - even in recovery. Have I fried the touchscreen like you can on older models, or do I just need to revert something software based. I checked with some touchscreen diagnostic software and it definitely does respond... just in the wrong place. Ideas=

re-flash a N910F kernel
Tried it! No change. It's weird because the screen has no offset in the corner and it gets worse and worse as you get further from the top left corner.... can it be a DPI issue or something?
I read somewhere if you flash other kernel you will burn the digitalizer lf the svreen, the only thibk you left if flash stock firmware via odin, if that doesnt work, send it to repair

Hi guys,
today i flashed the emotion kernel on my cm12.1 n910f, cause i thougt it'd work.
After this step my phone did not boot anymore. I flashed cm12.1 again, boots as usual but my screen is wrong calibrated. I press on the screen and the note thinks i press about one inch down and a little right.
I really tried everything to solve this problem. I had to factory reset because i could not draw my lock pattern anymore.
After that I flashed the stock rom, updated stock rom, reinstalled twrp, wiped everything, flashed cm12.1 again, flashed another kernel, flashed stock rom again.
The s-pen doesnt work anymore, not even on stock rom.
Could anyone please help me?
Thanks a lot!!
First thing you're gonna want to do is ODIN flash your factory base, reboot and test your screen calibration and S-pen now. Report back.
If it works now, you can start over and flash TWRP, and put a rom on it..

Make sure you flashed the full ODIN package and not just firmware... If you flashed the full ODIN package and it's still doing the same, seems you would have a defective device..

Btw this code works on stock rom only.

You guys should report all bugs to the cyanogenOS forum here -> http://community.cyngn.com/c/devices/z1
If they don´t know about the bugs, they can´t fix it.
And while you are at it raise your voice here (because we need inbuild root ) -> http://community.cyngn.com/t/reques...ring-and-inbuilt-superuser-access/97/4?u=othe
Wow nice thank you ! I didn't know where the official support was ^^

I dont think resetting will help. I'm just waiting till the next update, or the big update to 6.0 Marshmallow early next year. Really weird that they haven't fixed it yet, shouldnt be that difficult..
They dummied it out on the fingerprint_client and kernel binary... I've been tracking this issue down all day already. Theoretically, swapping the zImage for an older one, along with an older fingerprint_client binary should fix the issue.
Edit: Got it running on the latest COS again after a few patches here and there... will post a flashable boot.img soon.
Edit2: Here you go, all patched up and ready to go. Just flash it via fastboot and you will get your back-button functionality back. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087008212

should we wait for an update? there's not one issue im facing with the zuk z1. there are many like:
-the back button on the home key soft touch is not working
-the capacitive touch button on the left is much brighter than the right one hence not equal
-the swipe right or left to switch b/w apps on the home key is not working

Just use the boot image I've posted to temporarily restore it.
The OnePlus 2 kernel sources contain a patched fingerprint driver that is compatible with the Z1 that contains the capacitive navigation that got stripped.
It's already being picked up / ported for the Chroma kernel so don't worry guys, on the long run we will get this feature back permanently (no matter what Cyanogen wants).

I can't answer on the official thread as I don't have more than 10 posts, anyway, thanks for the feature, I tested it on CM12.1-Nightly and it works like a charm! Unfornately i noticed that after flashing the zip, on "buttons" settings, the "enable on screen nav bar" option has disappeared, and I can't go turn them off. Also the functionality is not the same as when i bought it, in fact if I touched the button, it would use the back feature instead of going on the home screen.
Anyway, thanks again!
You can adjust the actions that occur by editing the Generic.kl file included with the installer zip file. Adjust them as needed / wanted.

You can use 3rd party programs from playstore. for example"flashify". save the patch to internal store by usb. install flashify. find the path of yog4pas3oh....img and set up. after reboot it will work. Also you can unistall it from setting/ applications

Hi,
1- plug your usb cable to your pc.
2- download the file "YOG4PAS3OH_backbuttonenabled_boot.img" which uploaded by MrColdbird.
3- copy the file to zuk z1s internal store.
4- open flashify. choose "recovery image", choose file manager, find and choose the "YOG4PAS3OH_backbuttonenabled_boot.img"
5-program asks you flash recovery? and choose YUP.
6- after rebooting your touch backbutton will work with permission of God.
But I offer another upload of Mrcoldbird. Because extra properties come by it.
