So here's the thing, my mom gave me her Galaxy Grand Prime. Both the LCD and Digitizer screens were broken. So I replaced them and both were working successfully. So I went into the hidden service menu while I was checking it out. While in there I clicked to update Touch Screen Firmware (TSF). I then exited from the hidden service menu and UH-OH. The touchscreen wasn't working properly. To Click on any thing I had to touch below and to the right of what I wanted to click (unless below and to the right was off screen, in which case I couldn't access it. So then I Hard Factory Reset the phone. Unfortunately it still did the same thing. I searched web for a solution with no luck (not even a sign of anyone having such an issue). The device is not rooted. So can anyone tell me what I can do? I tried to find a Original Touchscreen Firmware file I might could use recovery mode to flash install on there from memory card. Or do I have to replace touchscreen/digiter screen again?
Hi I have exactly the same issue as you and did exactly the same as my screen play playing up and that was recommended and now it's of no use.

I tried to flash the Overcome Rom onto my Tab, but it didn't work. I would turn it on see the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, but then immediately go to a black screen.
So I tried to download my stock .tar file (M180S.DL08.0204-REV3-UPGRADE-CL761350_user.tar) and flashed it again. I went into download mode and put it into the .pda slot, and tried again. Still nothing. The same Samsung Logo then a black screen.
Then I read something about using P1_add_hidden.pit and then flashing the Roto JME_Full to get it back to life. So I did this, and then rebooted. This definitely did not work. Now I saw just a red line on the screen when I booted.
So anyway, I am able to get into download mode, but NOT recovery mode.
Also, when I try to charge it or plug it into the computer I can see the battery come up for a second, then it automatically goes to a black screen.
PLEASE HELP ME! I am a noob and don't know what to do.
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I tried out that program Heinberg(?). I don't remember the name and I am at work now. I was able to get a tar file somewhere and take out all the parts and flash. i am now able to see the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo, then the blue progress bar under it but it seems to freeze up after that and goes nowhere. I am also still unable to boot into recovery mode.
Good Luck. I am in SK and when I found out the other countries didn't have the DMB TV antennae it was a simple guess to assume there was software that the devs in other countries didn't know about.
I took mine to Samsung this week and they asked if I had downloaded anything recently. They did a hard reset and brought back my WiFi. Seems there are some laws in place that you have 14 days buyer's remorse to return it, followed by 30 days (or maybe 90) to replace a bad unit, and then 1 year free repairs. If you are within the first 2 time frames I would find a reason to return it as broken.
If someone can help you, I really am a noob when it comes to rooting and etc, then remind them of the DMB TV section and to watch out for it when they suggest something.
Hope this helps!
deadhead85: Have you found a way to fix it? Can you please share the firmware or at least a download link so i can "ressurect" my Korean Galaxy Tab?
Thanks in advance!
what happened with you?!!!
I recently install Hitman Sniper on my Note 4N910C and it has caused the screen to start flickering none stop. The icons also jump about on the screen and mesh with others. I've tried to do a hard factory reset thinking that it is a software error. But the screen still has the same problems.. Do you guys think I should get my Note 4 replaced?
OK, so I've tried doing a Hard Reset on my device and I still get the same problem. I've recently visited my local Samsung Smart Centre to see if they could fix my device but seeing that it is UAE model they refused to have anything to do with it and ask me to contact my retailer to have it fixed. I was told that it maybe a firmware error.
So I did allot of research online and found out how to restore the firmware back to the way I had it. I downloaded Odin version 3.10 and the official UAE firmware for my device from Sammobile. I follow the instructions to the letter and I still have the same problem!
Does anybody have any advice they can give me with regards to the problem that I am having?
Same issue here!!
Hi, were you able to find a solution for your issue?? I have the exact same problem with my Note 4.

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..!

hello,
how did you fix this?
if you actually did find a fix.

I had a S4 (sgh-i337) for the last 3 years and just replaced it with Oneplus 5T recently.
I wanted to re-purpose the S4 as a mobile DLNA server for my car, but ran into a problem when I was upgrading to the latest AOSP rom.
I had the power button replaced last year and the new one is starting to fail as well. My thought was rather than trying to replace the power button again and then figure-out why ODIN restore isn't working (I have a MDL bootloader, it boots back to MDL rom, but hangs on the at&t boot screen - my thought is that I may need a sim card to complete the boot and this is the first time that I have tried to factory reset/Odin without a sim card)... my thought was for the low-low price for $25, I could get a i9505 motherboard from aliexpress and not have to deal with the pseudo-locked bootloader anymore.
the question - can I install the motherboard of a i9505 into the sgh-i337. I know fundamentally, the hardware is the same across the "snapdragon 600 based S4's line, but just wanted to make sure before I spent money that my thought was correct or if there are any other software issues that I might have.
I am not concerned about GSM connectivity, as I am only planning on using it to host videos for tethered wifi access in the car to other android tablets.
thanks for the input and advice.
When buying a 9505 motherboard, make sure you don't get a mobo that is made for the Chinese market.

whats wrong with the ones or the chinese market?
I see that most of they say from China, but are labeled 9505_J (if the pictures are to be believed)
item 1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4#Model_variants
it looks like the chinese ones are 9508, 9502, 959
If it's made for the China, they don't have Google apps like chrome and the play store.
I recall seeing posts where people had difficulty installing the missing apps.
The aliexpress board looks fine.
if its a 9505, my plan is to root it and install cm14.1; so as long as it truely is a 9505 and there isnt a concern that it is really a 9508, 9502, 959 that hasn't been relabeled.
thanks for your help
Good luck with your project.
If you want to use the phone as a phone, you could also look for an sgh-i337m which is the same as the AT&T s4 except there is no locked bootloader
update, I received the board, installed it and booted it up. it was a clean install, knox tripped (0x1), recent baseband and bootloader. after realizing the capacitive menu and back button weren't working, I after trying to root without tripping the knox bit, via an xda tutorial to install a older kernel prior to rooting; After that caused it to not boot, i was able to replace the kernel via odin.
I tried putting my i337 board back in to see if i would get a successful odin flash and boot and see if the capacitive menu and back button will work. cant get the i337 to perform the initial boot (stuck on the att boot screen) i put the 9505 board back in and after doing some research found that it isnt even seeing the buttons
via the *#2663# screen and check to make sure it says 0x1c on 'Part's Touch key FW version', as it doesnt show the Part's Touch key as existing / attached.
so i said whatever, installed twrp, wiped, installed cm (lineage) 17.1. I was unable to find the option to show software keys, so i added a software keys app from the playstore
so, all and all, it was a successful endeavor and well worth the $30 purchase. If i had not had the problem with the Part's Touch key / capacities buttons, i wish i would have done this years ago when i started rooting my phone to avoid the frustration with the locked bootloader (even if i had a hacked mdl bootloader)
now, just to find a dlna server app, so i can have the phone be a wifi ssd for movies in the car (for the kids in the back on road trips, not for the driver)
thanks for your input
After market was filled up with display copies that include glued touch buttons, samsung decided to update their firmware. And unfortunately for users with cracked screens that they have replaced with cheaper one, controller of touch buttons began work not correctly. Looks like same story as with popular FTDI 232 ttl converter chip. Original manufacturer has released driver update to render copies useless.
I have got used i9505 with already replaced screen with bugged touch buttons and display looks like IPS, not AMOLED. I have tried some ROMs and found that sometimes flashing with stock ROMs with Odin will fix buttons, but as far as you get internet connection, updates start downloading without any prompt and buttons become dead.
I flashed TWRP with Odin, then flashed in recovery Albe95_S6_Full_PORT_4-7b.zip have boot it and in dialer typed *#2663# , then update FTSP FW and SensorHub FW. There was no "Touch key FW update". Then i played with *#0# to run SensorHubTest. After reboot buttons still had no light and not worked. But after i have flashed I9505XXUGNG8_I9505OXAGNG8_I9505XXUGNG8_HOME.tar.md5 and all become working well. Then i flashed MOD (Optimized-LineageOS-18.1-V7.0.zip) and all working good and with internet. Can anybody explain wtf exactly is happening? At that point i don't wan't to make more experiments. But am pretty sure that if you wanna fix it you should remove sim and block any wifi connections to stay offline while you are trying to fix buttons (what ever?) by flashing GT-i9505 with stock FW.
