Hello everyone. I already wrote this message before but somehow it didn't post.
The problem:
After a software update with Odin, the GPS does not lock on to satellites. It finds them faster than before, but doesn't lock
After seeing this, I've tried multiple software versions (KE 7/8/4 etc - 500 mb+ files) Still the same. Even tried hard reset.
Played around with lbslabtests when I used these versions. No change there helped.
What should I do?

Hello.
I am also having exactly the same problem. I've flashed mine with LR 6.0, then GPS cant lock anymore. LR 6.1 still gives the same condition.
How to fix this?

New to this site but have done days of searches for my problem. Since JB update my bluetooth is not working and I have also found out Airplane mode is messed up also. Both will have slight responses for a short time after booting , then nothing. I down graded back to ICS and I get some functionality and have actually paired a device but does not work correctly. Asus wants the tablet sent back , but it sure seems to me as it is Op system causing all of this. It was working fine before. I am new to messing around with android , So one question is since I down graded to ICS 4.0 does the actual device firmware downgrade completely also ? I see that Bluetooth Version lowered and other versions lowered , but could something else not get back to that version , some type of Bios type settings? ( I was told no Bios in android ,but is there something like it ? )
So does anyone have the same problems , any answers or thoughts ?
Is there a way to erase everything completely and go back to the exact files software , kernals etc. as when in the box it came in.
Sure seems to act like a software driver type problems.
What are the "Source Code" that are offered on the Asus Site ? Can those used to be used to Factory fresh the device ?
I do not want to void any warrenty , but before I send back I want to see if it is Hardware or software.
Thanks

Source code is only useful for software developers. To restore your device as close to factory state as possible, install the full firmware package of your desired version, as you already did when downgrading, and wipe data.
Things not restored by this method:
- device-dependent settings (e.g. serial number, sensor calibration data)
- DRM key
- Partition table
These usually cannot be changed by the user and therefore do not need to be restored anyway.
My main concern is the kernal, I feel that this may be the cause of my problems , if indeed the hardware does not have a problem. So when I restored to ICS , Did the kernal complete revert to factory also ? I understand now that the Kernal is the ( Bios) of Android , takes comands from software and tells hardware what to do . ( Right ? )
I am finding that the "Factory Reset " from from "Setting" does not truely reset all settings ( I set a Sound Setting before Reset , and the same setting was "on" after the reset ), therefore a "Firmware" reset back to ICS may leave the reason my bluetooth and airplane is not working.
So is there a way to use the "blob" with-out rooting or causing a warrenty issue ?
The kernel is part of the full firmware, so it is flashed when you install the firmware. It is the core of the operating system and also contains all the hardware drivers. The PC BIOS would be more comparable to the tablet's bootloader, as it only initializes the hardware and loads the kernel.
Your problem description is completely worthless. If you expect help, state exactly what you did, which error messages appear, and describe in detail what does not work and what you expected.
I thought i expalined better. I will try again. I used my bluetooth on my tablet connected to my phone and sent photos to tablet from phone. All was fine, Did not try and use bluetooth again untill a week later ( 3 days after OTA JB update ) now the bluetooth does not work and I see that Airplane mode is not working correctly either.
Since this happened right after the JB Update , It made since to me it is an update problem. I was wanting to go back to the exact state before update to see if errors were gone. I have re installed ICS and had better response from bluetooth , was able to pair a device but after pairing would not work ( headphones , sound stayed on tablet ) .
With these findings it would lead me to beleave two things , the "Firware install of ICS " left traces of the newer Kernal , that caused the problem or the Tablet hardware is the problem.
does that make more since to you ? Sorry about the first Question. I have let the tablet do the OTA back to JB and still in the same situation. I have an RMA set up , but I just like to know for sure the cause before sending back.
Thanks for you time.

Ok, Well thanks for trying ? I do not have any other info. to tell you then my last reply , that is all that I can explain , What is wrong what I did and what I was trying to figure out by process of elimination.
I accidentaly flashed the edge version of twrp to my regular s6, 920r4. Now my touchscreen is reversed along the xaxis. When I dial *#2663#, nothing happens, only a dialtone goes on. Any suggestions?
Reflash regular S6 5.1.1 stock ROM via odin.
I did that, still no fix. Then I did a full reset, no fix.
Bring your S6 back to Samsung for repair.

Obviously my knox is tripped after flashing TWRP, would samsung be able to fix this anyway?
I hope so...
In other related threads, members were able to use the "secret codes" to update the TSP firmware. Could I perhaps install say the firmware for the 920F, then access the secret codes on that firmware, and in that process update the TSP firmware?
Flash this S6 regular S920R4 5.1.1 stock ROM instead of G920F:

Posting this for future reference for anyone that comes across this issue. The instructions below resolved my reversed issue.
@ScottBroker - If that happens again, you will not need to exchange your device. In the dialer, input *#2663# and select the "TSP FW update (General)". In order to do this, you would have to actually press "TSP FW update (Internal Storage)" since your horizontal touch is reversed.
This did not do anything for me. Could i just use the right one instead and all should go well? or there be another solution?

I finally got this issue fixed after almost half a year. I updated the firmware to a newer version, using the software update on the phone. My issue is finally fixed. I think that perhaps the several months new software update was different enough to require a complete changing of the recovery software.
Or at least something like that!
No longer will I be using my old s4, running liquidsmooth, that restarts 3-4 times a day. With a shattered screen at that!

A year after OP, I've ran into the same issue as the OP.
I accidentally flashed an edge kernal (I think, might've just been an incorrect baseband) on my flat S6 (920t). Tried things from flashing correct kernals to wiping to Odin restoring stock firmware. Nothing worked, then I found this and my problem was resolved in 2.4 seconds. I laughed at myself for this one :silly:
(Note: I had a TWRP backup, but didn't try restoring because it was from a previous firmware and I'm not sure it would've worked, which is why I searched for other solutions...and found this one!)
Hi I have got same problem. but afters tiping *#2663# nothing hapend. What can I do?

Which model do you have? The dialer menus might be specific to the model/carrier, I'm not certain about that though.
After rebooting my phone couple of times it works. Thanks!!!

No problem, glad it worked out and you can use your phone regularly now!
As I have found multiple threads for the same issue, I figured I would post the info in a few of them so if anyone else come looking for the issue and fix - they can get right to the howto instead of digging through multiple threads like I did. More info about the issue was found on the following link/s - https://1024kb.co.nz/galaxy-s6-reversed-touchscreen/ & https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62289392&postcount=9
You DO not have to flash any stock roms or other versions of twrp to fix this, as it will NOT fix the issue, as near as I can tell something corrupted or changed the setting somewhere on the hidden section of the phone's firmware. All you need to do is access a hidden engineers menu, click on a button and your done.
The hidden adjustment setting is accessible through keypad *#2336# (reverse-entered as #*2114*) (you have to do this as the touchscreen is still reversed so you are unable to enter *#2336# normally). Once the task completed I then was able to press the back key and have it function as normal which confirmed the fix.
Hello
I am having a hard time with my n920p since a few days.
All sensors are down. *#2663# gives a FAIL, updating the hub fails. MCU name: NG.
Flashing different roms nothing. Deleting cache data anything deletable.
21 sensors detected through cpuX. Though no data received.
Opened the bugger nothing visible. All Cables in place.
Read somewhere that reballing the MCU was the key. Though i don't want to mess with the electronics yet, because i still hope it's a software issue.
Any Thoughts?any ideas?

I am also having the same Issue and am almost certain that it was due to a ROM that I installed on the device that wrote over a key component of Samsung firmware. I have unrooted and gone back to my original stock 5.11 to no avail, I then upgraded to Marshmallow OTA with my fresh, unrooted factory firmware to no avail. I even went as far as installing multiple different versions of factory sprint firmware (closely following double install instructions) and I'm still stuck with an issue that I'm sure is only software related.
I am more than willing to do whatever it takes to get this problem fixed so if there is -anyone out there who has some insight please contact me back!!!!!!
I have just flashed the KitKat Rom to a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8013. Everything looks beautiful but I cannot get the wifi to work. I have flashed several "after ROM" wifi fixes and they have not changed anything.
I CAN turn on the Bluetooth.
When I try to turn on the wifi, the slider will move over to the "on" position for about 1 second and then will slide back off on its own.
I have tried several ROMs. I have tried many of the fixes I found in other threads - since I can't ever get the wifi to turn on, I can work on the proxy settings. I don't have any phone things on this tablet so I can't use the # plus the numbers to get the wifi to turn on.
Any other suggestions?
I wanted to upgrade to 4.4.2 so that I can use Office Apps and so I can download from Netflix. My 4.1.2 does not allow either of these things.
I just tried the BL Wifi fix again because I wanted to report the errors when I try to do this:
Footer is Wrong
Signature verification failed

I have tried several ROMs...the Gnabo ROM I tried first and I have tried it several times. I can never get the device to get out of the boot loop...but on the original page there were several broken links so I did my best to recreate them... I have tried a few ROMs via Odin and they work fine except for the wireless. I have tried a ROM via Clockworkmod and that "imaged" fine except for the wireless.
Originally this was an N8013 device which did not get any OS updates. I'm coming a bit late to this game because only now am I finding that I need a later version of the OS before I can use specific apps.
I have gotten the wireless "fix" from three different sources. The files are exactly the same size so I would imagine they are all similar but, yes, three different sources to get that wireless software. I get the same errors no matter which of the downloads I try.
YES! I tried *#2336#
I have NO SIM cards. When I dial that code, I get an error message and cannot update my TSP. And NO, I do not have access to any other person's SIM card.
For search sakes, I get this error:
USSD Code running
Connection problem or invalid MMI code
What I did. I stupidly did not check a kernel and I flashed a Edge Kernel instead of the normal one. I to be more precise, I installed the kernel here:
Stock_kernel_edge.zip
I tried installing many other kernels and it did not work. My left screen clicks on the right and right clicks on left...You get my point, the screen touch is reversed.
I have also tried this APP - Phone INFO *Sam*
And it still does not work.
Can someone please help me out?
I am updated to latest TWRP for my phone. I am really lost and I am getting crazy over this issue! I spent hours re-installing different roms and other alternatives and nothing worked up to now.
**EDIT**: The Phone INFO SAM worked. I had problems getting to the right section, but I got it to work with that app. So anyone having the same issues, Phone INFO *SAM* was my solution.
hey i have the exact same problem on the same phone do u still remember what you did to fix it? ive tried so many different things and i cant figure out what you did in phone info *sam* app
EDIT: I FIXED IT!!!! u have to do *#2663# then tap TSP FW update and it was fixed after that
