So basically I need to wipe my phone but the touch screen does not work, and when I go onto twrp there is no way to wipe it since the volume buttons don´t seem to do anything and the touch screen does not work.
What could I do?
PD: The wipe option inside the phone doesn´t seem to be doing anything since when I click on it it just launches into twrp

Hello all,
so this morning i woke up to my phones alarm and the screen would not light up/come on. I tried rebooting the phone and the screen came on on the samsung custom screen (that is black with white txt and a picture of au unlocked lock), but my custom screen is now very white and i can barely make out the txt. then the screen cuts off and i hear it boot up properly. i unlock it with no screen on and can actually move a page to the left to hit my flashlight widget to turn on the LED flash for the camera. so the phone is still functioning properly (touches and sounds) but no screen visible exept for the custon boot screen and also ODIN mode (still very white but readable)
i am trying to flash the stock firmware to the phone to: 1. see if that fixes it. 2. get rid of custom screen to get my warranty
My computer and ODIN recognize the phone when its on normal but not when the phone is in ODIN mode....
i would like help with doing a wipe/factory reset using clockwork mod, but i will be blind.... and see if that frees up ODIN mode so my computer can recognize it
oh and im running a stock rom/rooted and i dont know the clockwork mod version number but the background in cwm is a penguin in a tux and hat i think
Questions:
1. What version of CWM do i have?
2. Steps to wipe/factory reset in cmw using volume up/down and sleep/accept hardware keys?
thanks abunch
maybe penguin is wearing jacket and beenie
maybe version is OUDHS Touch CWM-based Recovery 1.0.3.4
i have a Galaxy s3 with ClockworkMod v6.0.2.3
home options are
- reboot
- install zip from sdcard
- install from sideload
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- backup & restore
- mounts & storage
- advanced
is this the same options in same order as OUDHS Touch CWM-based Recovery 1.0.3.4???
ok so what ive tried steps wise to wipe data is open recovery on my i337 waiting several seconds to know it loaded then 2 clicks on volume down for - wipe data/factory reset then 7 clicks on volume down for - yes used google images to see screen shot of OUDHS Touch CWM-based Recovery 1.0.3.4 and my galaxy s3 cwm recovery to see how may ticks down yes was
ie:
- no
- no
- no
- no
- no
- no
- yes
- no
please any tips/comments/help would be awesome
thanks
any solutions for getting my computer recognize my phone while in ODIN mode?
connects when the phone is on normally (not recovery or odin mode)...
maybe i can flash something through recovery mode, but again im blind when using my phone cause the screen is not lighting up
someone can walk me through the steps in CWM or OUDHS CWM-based Recovery 1.0.3.4
PEASE HELP !
so i can hook my gs4 up to my tv and get into it. anyway to unroot and put stock firmware with rom manager or anything????
A few months back, I broke the digitizer on my AT&T G2, and the bottom 5th of the screen stopped registering touches. Which sucks when you have on screen buttons. I was on CM11 at the time, so thankfully I was able to unlock the screen just fine and use screen rotation (combined with the Rotate app) to do almost everything I needed. One time I even did a wipe and clean install of CM11 and was able to use screen rotation to re-set up my phone to how I needed it.
Today I did a clean wipe and flashed CloudyProII 2.0 onto my phone, assuming I could do a similar set-up. Everything went well until the first screen, which has a next button at the bottom and doesn't rotate. I'm not able to pull down the menu bar, and since this is a clean install, ADB is off, and my google account isn't set up. So I decided to just reboot to recovery and re-flash CM11. Only for some reason the LG G2 button combo to reboot to recovery isn't working (maybe CloudyProII removed my custom recovery?), though the Download Mode combo is (and confirms I'm rooted still).
So now I'm stuck with a phone I can't use, and I'm sure there's an easy solution that will get me up and running again. If anyone can offer any advice, I'd be tremendously grateful!
EDIT: I was able to get into recovery and all is good now! Nevermind!

you can always get a usb otg + mouse and us your phone like that or replace the screen
So basically my phone was stock but rooted and modded slightly with volume boost, camera mod, and the multi window mod as well. Other than that its all stock and never flashed a Rom on it. The phone ran smooth about 90% of the time but there were little quirks here and there that kind of bugged me. For example, every once in a while the screen wouldnt wake up after being locked via button or double tap. Wifi wouldnt respond randomly unless I reset my phone. Things of that nature, but anyhow I decided maybe hard reseting my phone might clear up some of these issues. I got into TWRP from AutoRec, and checked off everything except internal storage. I believe they were Davlik, Cache, System and obviously it didnt work out for me. I feel like me checking off the system is what did it because it wasnt considered a basic swipe at that point. Anyhow I cant get to recovery, download mode or anything of that sort. Everytime I hold down the power button it just resets and brings me back to the LG logo and just sits there while the led lights keeps rotating colors. Is my phone done for?
edit: Oh yea one last thing, I remember when I went to reboot it I somehow ended up being asked if I wanted to install SuperSU and I said yes. And than at that point it went to restart my phone and got stuck.

You wiped system. That's your rom. Don't wipe system unless you plan on flashing a rom. You should still be able to get back to recovery. From phone powered off state ( hold power and volume up when lg logo is on). Hold power and volume down, when lg comes on, release both, then hold both again. You should now be at the factory reset screen. Press power three times (it's not going to factory reset). You should be in recovery. From here, restore your backup. If you don't have a backup, you just found out the reason why you should always have a backup. If you don't have a backup, you're going to need to install a rom via adb or otg (assuming your recovery is up to date). You can also tot or kdz back to stock (wipes sdcard though).

nexus 7 4.4.4 f2fs
Hello guys, need some help here. I am new to LG G2 but have been rooting and flashing before on other devices.
So... model is D802 - Croatia, was simlocked to TELE2 but today i bought that key and unlocked it. Then i rooted and root checker said it was all OK. Then i downloaded AutoRec (D802_AutoRec.apk) and flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0 and hit go to recovery. And i can't boot since. I managed to push files to sd via ADB (i pushed some small txt file just to check). When use key combination to go to recovery it always goes first to factory reset. Then if i chose not to reset i get black screen with leds blinking green and blue. If i factory reset it resets and enters recovery. I can also enter download mode. i am guessing this is just some soft brick?
What should i do? can i just wipe all and install custom rom? i downloaded some custom 5.0.2 rom which i plan to flash. Can i use this or should i go to stock. If stock... which kdz should i get? Please help me out here, or point me where to look.
update: i managed to push complete rom zip file to internal storage and i can see it in recovery file manager. just waiting for advice now before wipe and flash.
Thank you
Flash 5,0,2 it's OK but you need to flash gapps too. Wipe everything but not internal storage.
Thanks for reply. I will try to flash as you said. However there is one thing that concerns me.
Why is it when i go to recovery it always goes to factory reset first and i can only enter recovery if i actually reset it. This should not be normal behavior because you would have to factory reset it each time when you go to recovery. Could it be that recovery is not installed properly although i don't see anything strange in recovery itself?
Update: This does not answer factory reset question but just to inform that i flashed crDroid ROM and it works OK by the first look. One thing that i notice that is not working as it should is that phone wakes on shaking and it won't go to sleep on double tap screen. How to fix this?

This push to factory rese does nothing it is still implemened from the sock recovery the wake on shake is due to the feaure wake on lift you can disable it somewhere in the options. Diuble ap 2 sleep only works on statusbar with aosp rom stock launcher
OK i found this lift to wake and its ok now.
So this means that on crDroid i can't use double tap to sleep anywhere on screen?

Use a custom launcher like nova or solo and you can add it
My sm-t235y was working fine, plug charger 10 minutes... unplug it... and when i use it screen went all vertical lines moving like water.... check picture and video please... what do you think? screen was not hit in any way...

what do you think?
thanx in advance
Wally,
that does not look good
do you have a custom recovery installed? If so did you do the basics, wipe cache and dalvik cache?
If you do have a custom recovery installed did you make your full backup when the tab was functioning correctly?
Did you root and apply any modifications? What is the most recent app you installed prior to this problem ?
Again if you do have a custom recovery installed and made a full backup of your working rom, try using the advanced recovery options to
restore your /system partition only. that looks like your boot animation file in /system/media got corrupted/broken.
I couldn't tell if the startup audio was working when viewing the video, is it?
And lastly do you achieve boot through to home screen or do you just get that squiggly blah and then pppppppbbbbttttttt ?

Hi Moonbutt
do you have a custom recovery installed?
Yes TWRP
If so did you do the basics, wipe cache and dalvik cache?
Cant use recovery.... screen is this way all time, with key combination can enter to recovery but cant see nothing
Did you root and apply any modifications?
all mods were done 4 month ago... all working great
What is the most recent app you installed prior to this problem ?
didnt install any app in 1 month...
I couldn't tell if the startup audio was working when viewing the video, is it?
It boots and enter system.... its a 4g so i can hear whatsapp and other apps working... seems to be a screen problem...
thanx
Wally,
Don't use the button combo to boot into recovery, boot up as normal and plug your tab into pc and run
adb reboot recovery, just to be sure that you are in recovery.
If the screen is still the same
crack open the tab and check the screen connector ribbon, your screen problem is all hardware (almost positive anyway).

thanx will try
