Updated OTA - Now my tab seems broken

Hey everyone. My 8013 has been rooted and running like a champ. Today I ran the OTA update via Kies and it said it successfully installed. I show that Im on build UEALH2.
I was having issues where it looked like the OTA didnt install all the way because I was getting notifications again that it was available. I rebooted into CWM and cleared the cache and dalvik, rerooted and booted into the device again. It went through the OTA installer again. This time when it was done, I checked and no software updates available. Sweet.
But now Im having issues with my screen not responding to touch inputs. The screen is still working, because I can remove the pen and the side bar loads, plus widgets are still updating... but it wont accept any inputs from my fingers or the pen? I did a factory reset to see if that would fix it, but what happens is when it starts up I have control of the touch screen. If I lock the device and then try to unlock it, the screen is immediately unresponsive to touch input. I was going to flash using Odin and the latest stock rom but the only post I saw where the latest rom was posted at shows the file is down: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
Any ideas on what could be wrong or where I should go from here? Ive never ran into any issues like this with past devices.

Same issues here. Have been speaking with entropy and another member to try to fix this. I am at a loss as well.
Things I have tried:
*MD5 Post-update*
*Wipe Data/Cache via stock recovery*
*Re-flash MD5*
I am now in the process of locating a UEALGB recovery/kernel. If any member has a link to it or can help its certainly appreciated.

Are you just having OTA update issues or is your screen not responding properly to touch as well?

If you find the UEALGB recovery/kernel please let me know and provide the steps you used to fix the issue.
Guess thats what I get for jumping the gun on the update.

The update restored touch function but the pen functions are completely derped.
A pre-rooted full package is being uploaded by entropy in the next 2 hours so I am crossing my fingers that this will fix it.

I have the same issues I\m trying all things to get it to work just like you are to no avail, Samsung update now things are all screwed up

Alright (For N8013) who have lost pen/touch:
1. Wipe data/cache via stock recovery/kernel flashed in ODIN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9&postcount=45
2. Flash root injected system via ODIN: http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote...ctedSystem.zip
3. Re-kies to new firmware via WINDOWS

I had the same issue and flashed this via Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
Fixed it and now i'm running the latest update.

I lost touch and pen and now i have them back. Heres how:
1. IM AWESOME!
2. Rebooted my computer.
3. Wiped everything.
4. ODIN root injected original firmware.
5. Kies update.
6. ODIN Clockwork Recovery
7. Flash Superuser.
Boom, everything works.
** DISCLAIMER - There is a strong possibility this worked only due to #1. YMMV.

I took the OTA via Kies because it was listed in the OTA update thread that it was ok to do so? And that root was working fine afterward?

The root method 2 specified that OTA was viable with stock recovery. I flashed stock recovery and the OTA failed. We were then forced to update via KIES and touch/pen functions were then bugged. The best way is my method above.

In many cases, if you ONLY have added su and Superuser.apk - you can safely apply an OTA. However if you've touched anything else in /system - boom

Standard practice is to reimage back to stock then apply OTA but the full image wasn't available via Kies until this update came out. This will be less of issue going forward as there's a full image now.

OK so o tried vanillas order and kies froze or disconnect me or something so I odined the md5 tar of the new update and back to no touch screen but like 5 mins so I shut it off and resume later.
What is the best thing to do to get all fixed up?

[SOLVED] My Note 10.1 shows a fuzzy/white lined screen when booting up ??? [Video]

I flashed stock firmware via odin, but before I clicked start I left my tablet to charge for a bit. While I was gone my son had been messing with my laptop without my knowledge, but I'm not sure whether he ticked one of the boxes on ODIN or not.
Anyway, I went back later and began the flash. It finished successfully. Then I started up my note 10.1 and the splash screen was showing white lines across the screen instead of the usual "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" screen.
Sometime it shows the 'download mode' screen for a few seconds too.
Here is a video showing what happens...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9gFJBz0THc
How do I get it back to normal and why did this happen? Also, will this effect how my tablet runs in any way?
I've tried flashing the firmware again via ODIN and again via kies, with no luck.

My tablet does the same thing, it did this after I flashed with Odin as well. It does not really bother me that much though because I rarely ever shut down my tablet.

No clue as to why it happened. If you've reloaded the s/w again successfully via Odin and it's still there I'd try a hard reset from recovery. Turn it off and when it restarts hold "power/volume up" and select "wipe data/factory reset" as shown below. It might just be a coincidental h/w issue that popped up. But the fact "download mode" appears occasionally makes that improbable. You can always send it in for repair claiming ignorance. If you've only used Odin to flash stock s/w for your device's model (EG: N8010>N8010) Samsung will be none the wiser.

The strange things are that when the download mode shows at the beginning of a boot, it's always just a kind of screen shot from when I last went into download mode. Plus everything is working perfectly fine, the system runs as it usually would, same speed, etc. I can still root, flash a recovery, flash custom ROMS, etc.
I've already tried what you said, numerous times. I've flashed a few times too, completely erasing system, data and cache before flashing. I'm currently using a custom ROM and everything is working perfectly fine. The boot issue is the only thing wrong with the tablet. Surely there's a way to change it? Like flashing a boot animations?
I thought maybe it's soft bricked? I read somewhere that flashing the PIT would fix the issue I'm having, but i can't find the N8010 PIT file anywhere

There is no "nand erase all" option in the odin version you should be using.

I had no clue I should be using a certain version of Odin, I assumed latest version was best version to use.
Does this mean there's nothing I can do?

I've also noticed that after flashing stock firmware via Odin, the phone stays stuck on the bootloader, unless I do a factory reset in recovery.

I guess for now there is nothing I can do. Nobody seems to know what the problem is.

Finally fixed it!!
I don't know exactly what did it, but I flashed the new N8010 4.1.2 firmware via Mobile Odin, and it was as good as new
Thanks to everyone that tried to help

Thanks, it fixed it for me as well . I'm assuming in this firmware they fixed the exynos exploit, so they must of changed something in the bootloader or something, which happened to fix this? I do not really know.

So when you put the battery back in the phone it automatically boots into download mode?
If not then hold power+home+volume down to boot into recovery.

If all it does is go into download mode. Then you are lucky in a way because you can Odin back to stock which fixes almost all issues. This will delete you data, more than likely. Which is only apps, messages, calls, not your pictures on internal storage.

It sucks. But stuff like this happens. And being rooted you have to know the risks of flashing and modding your phone. And its not that bad. Its exactly the same as wiping your phone to install a new ROM. You delete all the same stuff. Not hard to get back up and running.

No do not do this! Just go to tarp site and get the twrp tar file for the version you want. Then use Odin to load twrp recovery. This way you won't lose everything. Also to boot to recovery you can just use power and volume up. More than likely twrp didn't flash correctly so you have no recovery. Flashing it with Odin may solve the problem.

He specifically stated he didn't want to wipe. Plus why return completely to stock if there is no need. You SPARKY need to settle down and try to give useful information for a persons particular problem. Running around like a chicken with its head cut off for a simple recovery missflash. Then to try and bash me because I actually helped him not to have to set everything up again. What if he didn't have a proper nandroid or hadn't ran a recent TB backup. Then he would have lost all data. Now all is well. Check post 7 if you missed the part where he is asking for a better way.

He didn't say he didn't want to wipe until after. He didn't say that when I told him to Odin back to stock. I am settled. Lol. At the time that was the only way I knew we to resolve this so I gave him that option. It was good that you guys knew about the tar version of the recovery.

[Q] unbrick Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720

I installed cyanogenmod & clockworkmod yesterday and it appeared to work fine. But this morning, it was bricked and when I try to boot it up, it quickly flashes the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen and then shuts off again. It does not boot into recovery mode at all, but it does boot into download/odin mode. When i tried to install the stock rom through download/odin mode it kept coming up with fail messages in the odin pc application. I tried multiple versions of odin yet it continued to fail, when I took it to the Sprint store they said there was nothing they could do but have me send it back to Samsung, and since it is rooted with a custom rom Samsung may not honor the warranty. What, if any, are my options for installing a working rom and getting it to at least boot into recovery mode? Thank you.

Um, this is awkward but after many attempts to re-install clockworkmod, so I could boot into recovery mode, it finally, magically, worked! I had to use some mac software and push the file onto my phone through download mode but it somehow worked, thank you for your help but I already have cyanogenmod running again. Thanks again! :victory:

same thing happened to me, ODIN wasn't letting me flash anything, then I realized I accidentally screwed up my bootloader and I found the most updated version that no one had posted on the forums. I still couldn't get my phone to boot (boot loop), so I just took the SIM card out and it booted just fine.... I put the card back in and everything was okay. I don't know wtf happened, but I thought I screwed up my phone the first hour I had it.

Accidentally Formatted Internal Storage

I was careless and accidentally wiped/formatted my internal storage. Now my phone only boots to the first (Samsung) screen then loops. Safestrap won't even load. What are my options? :crying:
Edit 1:
Finally got it to stop looping and made it sit on Samsung Galaxy S5 screen on my computer it is only recognized as a CD Drive.
Edit 2:
Downloaded ADB but can't get it to recognize the phone using adb devices...
Got ADB to work didn't know of the special boot options, but I don't think the ROMs I'm trying to ADB sideload is working since it just boots up to the Samsung Galaxy screen and sits there again.

Going to need your phone model, based off the fact that youre using safestrap though i'll guess att model or verizon model. First things first, boot in to download mode, (voldown+home button+power button) and connext your phone to your computer with the original cable that came with the phone, download odin and your phone's firmware, and flash in odin. You should be back up and running.

I just got it fixed and backing up my stock ROMs from now on. Too bad my phone boot loops whenever I try to install cyanogenmod. Thank you for the help.

Locked bootloader, nothing but touchwiz based roms and no armoa either. Please do some more reasearch before you end up seriously messing up your device.
