Phone lose touch after flash Oct Update - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Please help!
I flashed back to stock for Oct Update full wipe and I lose touch on the screen. It does not respond to any touch. How can I fix this?
Update: as elinca247 points out, critical partition also needs to be unlocked.

Did you figure this out?

Get the boot image file from the root guide thread and flash that in fastboot. Either the flash all didn't flash the boot image or it flashed the wrong one.

Fastboot command

I had the same problem and apparently the critical partition needs to be unlock prior to flashing.
"fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
hope that works for you.

I totally agree. After doing that, I was able to recover but sacrificed all my data.

Could this be why my screen isn't working if I lock my screen? I have to keep my screen timeout off and keep my phone unlocked to use it. If I lock the screen, the touch screen doesn't work. Voice commands and the buttons work fine, music continues playing, just the touch screen is inoperable.
Been going on since the Sept update I have tried factory reset and reflashing the software from Essential

you can try to unlock the "critical partition" (will wipe data) and reflash Oct back-to-stock. If it doesn't work, you can always flash Aug back-to-stock and OTA up to OCT and then root.

Same issue I had after manually flashing the update. I solved it by adb sideloading the OTA file.

I went back to the original nougat and still the same issue

Try what I did. I downloaded the latest and had no touch so I noted into the stick recover and selected the ADB sideload, downloaded the OTA on my computer and stuck it in where I keep my ADB tools, entered the cmd's as per the Essential instruction on the software page where you get the OTA. I have touch again, everything seems fine.

Thanks! I'll try that

No custom recovery, or twrp. I tried to install those last week, but I was unsucessful, and stuck with root for now. No download mode at the moment, I tried to enter it, and my phones lg logo flashed for a second before going to the black screen.

you can try this but you need Ubuntu and I'm not exactly sure it will work(also you need to find the correct files for your model), also if your phone is under warranty you can try taking it to att store and telling them update killed your phone but of course don't mention anything about root

Only because Im ignorant in learning how to flash, I came from iOS, and I'm still learning. I just want my phone back on at this point. I only rooted, and a silly update from att downloaded while I was rooted, and It auto rebooted into an LG logo flash, followed by a black screen.

Ah, yeah, I cant even get into the factory hard reset. It just turns off and on to a black screen. Thank you for your help, though.

dont format it.
okay now you have to be quick when you do this to get into download mode...
plug your usb into your phone and have it hanging in the usb port in the computer or plug.
now hold the power button until it turns off.
quickly plug in the port/plug and hold the up button.
you have to do it really quickly. took me a few tries.
once in download mode restore to factory whichever image you choose.
ive had this done a couple times to my phone and it does work if you act quickly.
Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

But be careful while doing it, it's really easy to mess things up.

Just get a virtual machine, it does the job just fine.
I did it with VirtualBox and Ubuntu. And make sure, you disable auto mount usb in ubuntu to prevent opening the 20 "partition" windows.

Grand Prime Stuck on tmobile logo after root and reboot

I have rooted my phone twice so far, the first time using kingo root pc and the second time using kingo root apk. After the first root, i manually rebooted my phone and it got stuck on the white tmobile screen. It would make the notification vibration or the vibration that it normally makes when booting up. But after the vibration it would not start up. Approximately 15 seconds would go by and it would vibrate again. This happened repeatedly and did not end. I then fixed it after fiddling with it for a few hours and coming up with something i didn't find on the internet and tried a second time with the kingo apk. After root i then installed supersu and after the install (binary or whatever it is, i chose normal not cfw) it prompted me to reboot and i chose the reboot now option. The same problem happened again and i fixed it again already knowing what to do. Someone please help me fix this problem so that it doesn't happen again.
how?
How did you fix it? I have the same exact problem - used kingo root, then installed supersu, rebooted, and now it's stuck on the TMobile screen

Basically, (and i did this more than once so it DOES work... or at least for me) i installed samsung kies, kies 3, and smart switch since i was desperately in needed of a fix. i used smart switch to get it back to normal by putting the phone in download mode then restoring it. other people have success with kies but i did not, just experiment with the different applications and you should be able to restore your phone. BUT, this will I repeat THIS WILL reset all the data on your ENTIRE phone! so please be sure to take note of anything that is not backed up as it will be ENTIRELY LOST. I hope you can at least get your phone working again
SN: I am NOT responsible for any damage done to your phone

Updated to G900VVRU2DPF4... used it for like a day, now having a big problem. Help?

So I updated to G900VVRU2DPF4 and my phone was working fine until when I rebooted one of these times. Now I am getting 'Unfortunatly Sytem UI has stopped.' so I hit ok then the sreen goes blank with my homescreen wallpaper (and starts blinking from black to the wallpaper Except when I hit the lock button then It locks) and I can't do a thing. I recently turned off ADB on the phone so I can't do nothing there and I tried clear cache that did not work. I read that I need to erase the data on the system ui under setting, apps... but I can't even get into setting. I DO NOT WANT TO FACTORY RESET THE PHONE and erase all my files. There must be a way to fix it. I tried remote controlling via wifi (like with google's device manger and Samsung findmyphone) but now the phone won't connect to wifi for some reason it won't turn on. I am trying to sideload Samsung Good Lock because that might fix it also but I can't. I need help big time. When I connect it the the computer it kinda read it but I can't get files off the phone but it shows up and Unassuming Kies/Smart Switch does not work either. There must be a fix without loosing data. Help Please? :'-(
P.S. I tried adb sideload the PF4 updated in recovery and that did not fix it.

No I am not. Fully stocked. I had good lock installed before but I turned on finger unlock and good lock did not support finger unlock so it uninstalled.
I am kinda waiting also on sammobile to post the latest firmware. Since I heard you can update &/or reinstall the firmware without loading files like apps and stuff. (excpet if you are not on official stock) But I still would like some help.

Ok! Yeah my friend had a brick issue like a soft brick. And he was on stock also so he downloaded his firmware and installed it... It did not wipe his. I hope it doesn't wipe mine. My only problem is that I have fast internet but since I don't have a premium account on sammobile it will take 2 hours that why I was asking about SamFirm tool.

SamFirm ONLY allows to download the latest firmware (which is PF4), and we need PD1 :good:
If you were rooted we could have just done an "adb shell" into your phone and gotten all the data off, or simply use the built-in File Manager of Safestrap or TWRP.

Possible root for Tab S2 SM-T818V and SM-T818A aka SM-T819

I have a possible root solution for the T818V/T818A aka the Verizon and ATT version of the T819 if any one is interested in giving it a go?

Here we go. This is for T818VVRU1AQB1 firmware, but probably works on any revision 1 firmware.
Instructions
1. Enable OEM UNLOCK
In Settings>About>Software info tap the build number 7 times to enable developer options. Once you've enabled developer options, developer options will appear in settings just above the About device option. Open developer options, the 4th or 5th option should be “OEM Unlock”. Turn on.
2. Download the eng boot image.
This is a special boot image normally used by engineers, it allows selinux to be booted in permissive mode with relaxed root restrictions.
Do not replace this image with the stock image after rooting your device or you will possibly soft brick your device.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862710309
3. Install boot image:
Download Odin v3.11.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the SM-T818V_eng_boot.tar to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Reboot
Check in Settings>About>Software, your device should be in Selinux permissive mode.
4. Install and run Kingroot:
Make sure you have an internet connection.
You may need to run Kingroot several times to gain successful root.
5. Install and run SuperSU me to remove Kingroot and convert to SuperSU (not required) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ore&pcampaignid=APPU_1_uzPDVbGyFcGNyATHrqmoCA
6. Wifi fix:
modify the line below in /system/build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true to false
Good luck I hope it works for you. Let me know your outcome.

The boot image flashed OK with odin? Which splash screen?
This could mean you need to wipe the data partition first for it boot.
I should be able to get the stock firmware for you sometime tomorrow.

Flashed fine. It's the screen that says Android very big and had the tab model, right before it goes into the boot animation.
I'll wipe data partition and report back.
Please don't feel responsible for it, I'm about trying anything for rooting... I'm sure we'll get fixed

Sure, we'll get it fixed no worries.
Anyway it seems like you need the accompanying botloader if its getting stuck on the bootloader animation.

If it still doesn't boot I'll give you a link to the entire engineering firmware via PM. Then se how you get on with that and gaining root.

Are you saying that the full firmware didn't flash either? At what point does it fail?
Anyway don't worry I'll upload the stock AQA3 firmware later.

"Device is corrupt" HELP!

I was just trying to install the 9.0.6 update manually following the instructions in the thread for it here on xda and it wouldn't work. I uninstalled magisk and restored images through magisk manager as the directions stated to do. I couldn't get the update to show in the local upgrade section under system update so decided to reboot to see if that would fix it but now my phone will not boot. It goes to a screen that says my device is corrupt and won't go past that. It says to hit the power button to continue but that just makes it boot back to that screen and if I just wait the phone shuts off.
Any help is appreciated.
(UPDATE) Thanks for the help guys. I got the phone booting again by flashing the 9.0.6 ROM in fastboot. I'm still getting the "device is corrupt" message and have to hit the power button twice to get it to boot so if anyone knows a fix for this I would appreciate it. At least I can use the phone now.

I was just trying to install the 9.0.6 update manually following the instructions in the thread for it here on xda and it wouldn't work. I uninstalled magisk and restored images through magisk manager as the directions stated to do. I couldn't get the update to show in the local upgrade section under system update so decided to reboot to see if that would fix it but now my phone will not boot. It goes to a screen that says my device is corrupt and won't go past that. It says to hit the power button to continue but that just makes it boot back to that screen and if I just wait the phone shuts off.
Any help is appreciated.

You could try to use msm download tool linked above or flash the full rom again since you can get into fastboot. I'd prob try that before the msm tool though.

do you have any instructions on how to go about flashing a rom in fastboot? I've never done it before.

Thanks. I got that part and was able to get my phone booting again but I still get the corrupt device message when I start the phone. Wish I knew how to get rid of it. IS there any return to full stock methods that also locked the bootloader and restore all partitions to stock? That is the only thing I can think of that might work.

Someone say that wiping all with stock recovery solved, but device work fine also whit that message, otherwise you can try MSM Download Tool, it will restore all stock to 9.0.5 with locked bootloader.

Use the MSMDownloadTool for the international version, it's the only way to bypass the verity trigger, it will restore the device to full stock as if you never unlocked the bootloader to begin with.

Thanks guys. I will try this out in the future. For now I'm just going to ride with what I got since I don't feel like setting my phone up again. I don't reboot much so it shouldn't bother me too bad. I guess it's good I learned something new.
