Hello There!
I am here facing a really annoying problem... I Have Galaxy S4 Verizon, problem here is that I have dialed *#2663# and update TSP FW update and Now After That My Touch Screen Doesn't Respond... Everything is OK. Display, Touch Buttons But No Touch Response...
I Have Repaired Device Using Verizon Repair Assistant, Flashed Stock Rom... But Still Touch Screen Not Responding... Display Is OK But No Touch! Please Help Me... It Is Urgent To Fix This..
I believe you have to take to a service. There is nothing you can do if the touchscreen doesn't work.
Maybe if you connect it to a PC and use that to navigate through the phone.
The problem is: you updated that touch firmware, and I assume it is at the latest version, so you can't update it again even if you manage to get into that menu.
I think the only way now is to force install another touch firmware or something.
Thanks for your reply, your assumption is accurate. By now I am able to control Device through mouse device. but can you help me more to how to find some Firmware for TSP SW updates? Just Need links to learn and do stuff...
I Will Be Thankful To You Or Any One...

Unfortunately I don't know of any links. But this is not the problem, the problem would be getting it flashed on your device. I don't know what it would take to force flash it, but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to do it via Odin.

Verizon Is Not Allowing Me To Flash Via Odin.... I Always End Up Like Failed.
Maybe I Have Bootloader Locked After GS4 5.0 Update, And After That Failed Attempt I Have Left With Unlocked Padlock icon With Samsung Logo And Name On Booting Up And Nothing Changed Else...
Stucked & Confused!
Well Thanks For Your Replies..!

Hey everyone, ever since I updated to lollipop (BOC5), my Settings>About device>Software updates>Update now button doesn't work.
When I tap on it, it doesn't do anything. Last check was on 2015-04-19, nothing since then.
I tried searching for it, but it's such a general expression, that I wasn't really successful in finding it.
Do you know how to fix this? Thanks for your help.
I'm bumping this thread because I've got no reply. Does anyone else have this problem?

It sounds like your device is not syncing with the update server.
Make sure that you are not rooted. Also, check if the CSC matches with your region. If it doesn't, you either need to factory reset the device and allow the device to correct it for you or flash your region's ROM. I had this problem as well after flashing lollipop from a different region.
I've updated to Lollipop via Kies, so it's the /official and correct/ ROM — that's why I'm surprised it doesn't do anything at all.
Get a stock backup and flash through odin.
Dirty flash fixed it, I didn't wipe anything but cache, and voila...it works.
Weird, but I just can't decide whether to root the phone or not since I'm really tired of ads and some other limitations (need to get rid of the s finder/quick connect buttons - the most bothersome "feature" of the phone )
Yet... on the other hand, I don't wanna void my warranty, so...
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app
yes i have same issue, but my update now button is greyed out or disabled as i cant tap it, so how to enable this button and check for lollipop update???
I was trying to downgrade my s7 edge from the latest monthly security patch back to an older one. I got an error after I did it and i heard it had something to do with the bootloader being new so I put all the files in the right spot in odin except i didnt do bootloader. That also failed and now im stuck at "an error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software. I went into smart switch but i dont know what my S/N number.
If anyone can help me get out of this it would be greatly appreciated.

Ya I solved it 2 years ago lol
Hello all. Today I decided to root my Samsung Galaxy S4, model SM-S975L. I followed a post from these forums to the T, and everything was going great, until my phone went to sleep and then locked. After it was locked, the touch screen stopped responding. I gave it a reboot and it worked until locked yet again, and again and again and again. I then attempted to use a USSD code that was supposed to bring up some kind of fix to the touch screen firmware, I believe, and the code didn't do anything. Got a pop up that said it was running the USSD code and then nothing happened, it just disappeared. I was also unable to update the su binary when I downloaded SuperSU. Don't know if this is related. Below is the link I used to root my phone. Any help would be wonderful!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66590962&postcount=223
Judging by that guide, you did not root your device, you installed a completely different firmware.
Not only that, but it is an old version too.
I suggest you download this version and in the configuration screen select "STOCK KERNEL".
It's pretty much the same process as with the other version.
I forgot to mention I rooted my device with the PC version of KingoRoot, and when I used a root checker app it did say it was rooted.
But say I go this route, am I to also install open gapps? And does it need to be a different version?
So my touch screen stopped working again, this time during the AROMA installer. Managed to get through that with the volume keys and power button. Then it took me back to the screen from TWRP where it says I successfully installed the zip. But my phone is locked and my touch screen is not working. What to do? Please, anybody... I don't want to just pull the battery because I still need to wipe the cache and dalvik and doing that to your phone isn't good for it anyways, from my understanding. Please, I don't want to make it even worse if I can avoid it!

Then flash any other ROM that does not have the word "Optimized" or "Aroma" in its name.
You can also flash the official Lineage ROM, I assume it should work.
I attempted to unroot by flashing the original firmware for my Galaxy S4 and ended up soft bricking it, I think. It says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." Kies is not recognizing the phone. Am I correct in thinking it is soft bricked? If so, how can this be fixed? Please explain as if you were explaining to a child, I am clearly not very good at this.

try flashing it with Odin again, Kies isn't needed, just connect it to PC(while in that screen) and flash the stock rom with Odin, it should recognize it.
Hi folks,
I recently put the G935U firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/odin-n-7-0-g935uoym4bqd2-4-11-17-g935u-t3616834on my G935A and it was working perfectly. After the latest OTA update I am not longer able to connect to mobile networks.
I tried re flashing the 935U firmware and also the AT&T firmware but the issue persists. Also I am not rooted and using odin to flash the firmware.
Did some research and checking with *#0011#, I am getting a message saying "MIPI Device Fail" and people say that it might be a hardware issue. Anyone else getting the same error after OTA?
Is this really a hardware problem or can this be due to a software issue as well?
No one knows anything about this? Really surprising...
For the benefit of folks who might face this issue in the future I fixed this by swapping the motherboard. Got one off Aliexpress and did the change by myself. Surprisingly it is very easy to do once you get the back cover off.

The only thing you can do is swap the motherboard. If not possible, use the phone for watching videos. It will also connect on wi-fi anyway. There is no software fix for this.
which motheboard? All? where u bought it?

So, newer versions of Samsung Smart Switch do not offer the option for "Device Initialization" anymore.
How can I do a similar procedure apart from an Odin stock image flash?
I tried Odin stock image flash, but could not get totally unrooted that way. And was hoping to get clean unroot by using Smart Switch.
Any way to get the Device Initialization done in Smart Switch? Or does anyone have the older Smart Switch install files?
Thanks!

This one worked for me. Just don't update when you open it. Regardless of the pop up that says device initialization is no longer available, it is.
The device initialization function was removed in the latest version of Smart Switch because it was exploited too much for debranding.
Here's the official download link for the last version with device initialization function:

this help me a lot. thanks for the link:fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the link to the version with initialise!
I downloaded it and tried to do the initialisation process but after putting in my details it said "SM-G935FD" does not support initialising?
Do you know another way to initialise other than flashing a stock rom in ODIN as so far every rom I've tried gets stuck in boot loops.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

It appears samsung has blocked it. Recent versions of smart switch automatically update to newest version and older versions installation always fails. I've tried many.

Now I also get the error message, that my SM-G930F does not support initialising even though it worked before, so Samsung must have really blocked it. ODIN is the only way to do this now.

Samsung completely removed this feature... Cannot find fw on the server. This feature is over. The only way is ODIN or something paid. Restrictions, restrictions, restrictions everywhere......
This really sucks since Odin does not completely restore everything.
After having the bluetooth share problem come up on my phone due to max bluetooth connections (I managed to successfully root the phone and delete the entries to get it working again the last time on S5) I tried again to root my phone which was unsuccessful and messed it up. After trying a few times to get the correct ROM which is hard to get as theres nowhere official to get it from (that I know of) and downloading is slow. Now its in boot loop. Spent time for 3 days running to sort out this issue and now they've completely taken out the potential way to solve it. I guess on my next upgrade I'll look into other options, to think they haven't solved the bluetooth share issue after all this time I think is just crazy.
So why samsung is not focus on this issue and does not try to solve ....and in other side samsung kies say this device not supported and samsung smart switch says unsupported device so what is this ??both are made by samsung and this type of error faces many many users in the world and you can see a lots of video on you tube but there is no any appropriate answer
This move is absolutely against developers who try to use androids more than just what Samsung intends them to. Definitely not satisfied, it was my only way of recovery because my old backups don't work because of frequent updates.
Hey, got to this thread today, I'm just leaving my bit for other souls that come by... I had this same msg on my A9, tried the Smart Switch but no way... then I just started good and old Odin 3.13.3 and started the process: the device responded and accepted the flash !!!

No device "initialization" tab on Smart Switch? > BUT ODIN STILL WORKS
Hello everyone;
I found this thread a few hours ago, when I was trying to fix my Samsung phone.
I just want to confirm that flashing stock ROM with Odin works even if you have the "“An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smartswitch PC Software”" screen.

Can you teach me how to do that sir.
You can also try another Samsung application, if I remember correctly, many additional features have been added recently. https://www.huuq.net/samsung-flow-download-for-windows/
