s pen stopped working - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello every one its unfortunately i ve had to ask for help as i ve gone all over the internet for my problem but there seems to be no fix for this
as i ve seen in sum other forums there has been number of people with the same issue
this all happened after i went to sweet rom, was on stock before that, s pen was fine ( i did post in the sweet rom asking anyone else had the same issue) .
soon as i would take the s pen out the phone would crash and restart again . i don't use the s pen much so didn't get around fixing the issue this is about 2 months ago since the problem started .
now i want to sell my phone for the note 5 i thought i better fix this issue .
i thought try another Dr kretan rom to see if the issue got fixed but unfortunately no it didn't, now the s pen menu comes out when pop out the spen , but no writing or hovering .... i cant get back to stock rom ( unroot) cause the firmware update via odi fails (<ID:0/004> hidden.img
<ID:0/004> FAIL!) which is another issue altogether
maybe downgrading to kitkat might fix the issue ?
can anyone help me with this issue ( i am pretty certain its a software fault don't think it be hardware as was working fine on the stock rom )
thanks

the hidden.img fail is normal so don't worry about that. There are a couple or repacked rims in the general section that have the hidden.img removed, it's mainly carrier specific bloat ware

i need a .pit file for the N910u to solve the hidden img fail ..... as i cant load stockrom on it, keeps failing .... in turn i think thats why the s pen has stopped working

update managed to get to stock rom (i was flashing the country's wrong carrier rom )........ sadly s pen still not working even changed the tip on it( factory reset it ) air command pops up when i take the s pen out but cant write or any hovering , i ve checked the s pen settings they all o

[Q]Note 3 N900 Screen Problem

Hi
i bought the phone From EGYPT
Withn the last Week i cant remember exactly when i got a software update around 110MB
after installing it iam facing issue with my mobile screen it keep distorted
everytime i press on the power or while iam using it
the screen split in half sometimes in random shapes and i have to turn the
screen on off many times to overcome this
in the background the phone working normally and the touch shfited
since few days i got another small software update but no help
i forrmetted the phone . removed any app but still get that error
idont know if this a hardware failure or software failure
i confrim that problem happened after getting the 1st update i not seeing it
before but may it just a luck
i attach some screenshoots for the problem
Note : i downloaded from sammobile the Egypt Rom again and reinstalled same problem
I'm not sure why you didn't take it back and claimed the warranty after that OTA update, but it's too late for it now if you flashed your N3 ??
If flashing a new stock ROM didn't help, it's probably a HW issue, take it back and hope they will fix it on a warranty.

[Q] Hardware keys not working properly after update

Hello everyone,
Here's my situation. Today i updated my phone had a chinese 5.0.1 android and flashed UAE 5.0.1 (using the adonis pit since i believe i had used another for the chinese). Started the phone everything ok. As soon as the screen went of (screen timed out) i couldnt get it to work using the power and main button im not sure if theres is just long delay or i need to click the buttons multiple time or its the fault of the screen not reacting fast enough. All i know is that when i start the phone keys work good i can start in download or cwm with no problem.
Please help. Its very frustrating. Any advise is welcomed. Please give me even the most basic advices cause i got no idea what to do.
FIXED ! it fixed after i flashed ap, bl, cp and csc. idk why...

Note 4 (SM-N910H) stuck in samsung logo (solved)

Hi all,
First of all sorry my English not that good,
and please read it to the end
few days ago I tried to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to Kitkat 4.4.4 which i found later it is something can't be done,
but back then processor failed and i get some things on Odin , it stops on sboot.bin and fail and my phone in download mode says : sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so as an android user i looked all arount the web and Xda forums and found a way to flash Kitkat with a way to avoid
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
which was to delete sboot.bin and modem and compress them to .tar again , and guys that was the dumbest thing i did,
My note won't start and says : FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
so as usual I looked again and someone somewhere said "why don't you try PIT file"
so i tried and that work for me and WoW my note work again , and from then i I stopped all the Experiments at the poor Note 4.
but yesterday some App on my note (which require Root and I can't tell you what it is) do some weird stuff and reboot.
the devise work but this message appeared (com.google.process.gapps - unfortunately google play store has stopped) constantly, constantly and constantly ,and that is painful , so I backed up my files and wiped every thing and restart the devise but still getting the same message , so I tried flashing lollipop again but still getting the same error on download mode
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so i used PIT file again but nothing worked
so you know the deal , I looked around and again someone somewhere said use CWM to deal with sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
So i did , and get into recovery and I use every wipe option i did found,
and restart my note , and THIS IS THE END MY NOTE STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO NO MATTER WHAT I DID
right now i am downloading Ukranian lollipop firmware but I don't think this will make a difference
Any help guys any solution to fix my phone , please i can't afford to pay to fix it
thank you in advance
UPDATE : My friend told my to root it again maybe it will work , but i just got the old recovery but still STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO
So my device now working i just download this frimware
HERE
Ukranian one , and work like magic , I hope this thread work for someone else ,
If flashing the latest stock Samsung firmware back onto your device doesn't fix your problem. I would recommend taking it into a Samsung Service Center to see if they can fix it for you. If it's software based they will usually fix it for you free of charge.

Someone told me that i need to find a cert file for my Phone and i found it , how is it related to DRK and what should i do with it??
Whatever happens to the phone, if the phone turns on, doesnt have any hardware issue it can be revived.
The universal method is flashing stock firmware through odin
Download your country's note 4 firmware from sammobile and flash it through odin
Works most of the time
For any more help pm m!
yeah. try flashing samsung stock firmware with odin. have you done it

The same occurred for my LG G3 D855 which has erased its IMEI just for trying 'restore upgrade errors' in the LG mobile support tool. From that onwards I have firmly decided not to flash manually in any way except when official upgrades / uupdates are released via KIES or via OTA update.
Please do not flash by your own as it is always risky. It is not a PC where you can take out the affected hard disk and fix it in a working PC and backup the data.
To all manual flashing persons :
If your phone succeeds in manual flashing, donnot brain wash others to do the same. Not all persons always do R & D in android like you.

Thanks for the reply but the main problem is that any OTA that comes to note 4 i download them and the device says to restart to recovery to install the Update and i say yes but when it goes to recovery the recovery wont function well since it shows dm-verity error and supported API : 3 the update process fails to complete . My imei is as cool as always i havent had a problem with IMEI since i bought the phone
at least 10000 people have note 4 and none has had the problem ???? REALLY ?
seems like im pretty f***ed up

dear chappati , according to that video i need a physical thing which is called a BOX and a software called GC PRO because that guy had my problem and fixed it with a clicking , but im reasearching for 5 months and nothing comes out . i need information PLZ
Hi, i used to had that problem too, when i first flash a custom rom to my N910G i back up my stock rom.. everthing including EFS.. after that then i wipe everything like normal procedure when u flash a rom. till then 1 day i wanna go back to stock rom i accidentally ticked EFS while i wanna restore that stock rom back up and then i thought it was nothing serious until i flash stock rom with odin and when i boot into stock recovery that dm-verity message was shown, did so much research but no luck. my n910G was on a Singapore firmware, that time it had a update i just try my luck by downloading the latest SG firmware and then that message was gone! m now already on MM no problems like that anymore

NOTE 4 910F ddi: mmc_read failed

Hi! Lately I have problem with my Note 4 6.0.1 N910FXXS1DPHB (Germany). Phone wasn't rooted only on original firmware from 4.4.4
After latest upgrade from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 I noticed the problems below:
1. more lags (a huge lags often!)
2. often logout with asking about password (fingerprint doesn't work after restart)
3. Odin screen with " ddi: mmc_read failed" similar like in that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596979 from time to time
I consider to use odin and SmartSwitch to make factory reset and get fresh ROM. Nevertheless I am a bit anxious that odin screen. Can it be hardware problem (internal memory)?
Obviously I have warranty and I don't need to root my Note.
Thank you in advance!
Slawek
ask for a replacement
Can I check myself that is it mmc problem?

The best thing you can do is to flash another time the original firmware, adding the proper pit file for your model. This will repartition your internal memory. Worked for me on a completely dead 910f, so yours got more chance....
If after this steps the lags remains, only thing to do is asking for motherboard replace.....
Good luck

Several threads exist on this issue and the conclusion we've come to in the T-Mobile Note 4 forums is replacement. In my experience, the issues got so bad that it rendered the phone unusable. Get it replaced under warranty while you still have it. Samsung denied my claim as I was out of warranty.
Phone has returned from service point - repaired. I will test it tomorrow
Good news, hopefully the issue has been sorted out.
My note4 has the same problem but although still under warranty, it's rooted. Highly doubt that Samsung will repair it for free.

I held back myself from make my N4 rooted until Android 6 has appeared
So, mainboard has been changed and some parts of case ( very nice due to some scrapings on silver edge of phone).
New firmware was installed - XEF (France) instead of my previous DBT (Germany). Original CSC code is empty.
possible workaround
