Ok here it is in short bullet points to make a short story
tf300t rooted
rom hydro 4.1
Screen got broke
wife bought the wrong one .69.104 something like that about 40 bucks
wife bought the right one 59 or something like that about 90 bucks
I installed it
now 99% of the time the screen is not working at most i can get the task bar(I guess its called) at the bottom to work. So 1% of the time i can get the back, home, i will call it recent active, and the stuff over on the right by the clock but say i do get in to setting i then have to use my keyboard after that. I was thinking about factory resetting but i can not even seem do to that it just sits at the asus screen with the text in the top left saying my device is unlocked.
I am so lost in whats going on. any help would be great. at this point if someone could help me I will donate to them, a project of their choice and of course the site XDA.
Since you are running a custom ROM I expect you to have an unlocked bootloader? OK you can try reflashing the stock firmware follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39272826
I know it is for downgrading but you can reflash with this method as well also make sure you flash the right things and this WILL WIPE EVERYTHING

OK thank you I will try that right now thank you very much.
So I got all the files and stuff i remembered doing this to root my table back a few years ago. But I am getting hung up on while trying to select the USB icon. When I volume down and power it boots the the pre-loader screen i guess its called. But I can not select anything or try and move the selector it freezes. It i get to the pre-loader screen and wait the 10 seconds the tablet will then just boot up normally. Have any Ideas ?
says "booting recovery kernel image"
Update
I am able to move it over to the USB icon but it freezes. Says "starting fastboot download protocol".
(My screen says "press vol down to select and press vol up to select move") that wrong atless the way I read it.
I also the touch screen worked for a bid 30 seconds but then a error popped up that I seen before but forgot to post its like dmc failed. but any ways its not 6am and I still have not slept sorry if I lost you I might not be fully awake,

this means you are on 4.1? it's normal the bootloader freezes when selecting usb icon then you need to flash the firmware
Your issue might be as simple as reflashing the touch pcb with the proper firmware as it also calibrates it. Since you are running a custom rom, all you need to do is download a terminal emulator. You dont need to use a computer at all. I'll walk you through it if you need. I originally had the 5158n. Flashed the touch board with g01 firmware, installed the new digitizer (g01)and it had the same symptoms as you described. I then reflashed with the digitizer connected and viola..... new g01 screen was working perfectly! 5158n was like 100 usd. G01 was only 44 shipped. Big difference!
If you need help, just pm me here and ill give you my gtalk.

ok now that I have had a little nap I usb icon does freeze but i watched videos and mines the same as theirs but fastboot devices does not come up with any devices.. I will look in to this firmware update not sure how to do it. Sorry like i said I have not kept up on this stuff. After this problem I will be visiting the site a lot more.

Is it still booting into the rom though? What bootloader / recovery are you using ( or which ones were you trying to flash ). Do you have a dock with keyboard / touchpad?
Also, what do you see when you enter the bootloader. Which icons? Depending on the bootloader, you may already be in fastboot mode as soon as it opens the bootloader menu.
Also fyi, you use the volume buttons for navigating through the options. Not keyboard / touch screen.
Volume down toggles the options, volume up selects and enters the mode you chose.
BEFORE flashing a rom though ( provided you are still booting to a rooted OS ), try forcing the new firmware to the touch pcb board.

This is going to sound dumb Not sure of the name of the bootloader I have 4 icons RCK, android, usb, wipe data.
I do have a dock and table works fine besides that error i get in the settings some times dcm something or dmc something it pops up and gos away pretty quick.
I can also get into TWRP 2.6.6.6
So yeah the system it fine right now its just the touch screen that I am missing.

What version is your touch screen? Also, did you make sure to flip off the little service switch and pull the battery connector before disconnecting the bad digitizer? If not, you probably fried the coil ( small fuse ) on the motherboard.

fuse damn no did not see or read anything about it when researching how to replace the screen. hmm I am stumped this is getting to be a nightmare. Weird thing happened again last night the touch screen started working again almost the full screen only thing I was not able to click on was the app draw thing in the top right corner but then it stopped about about 30 seconds. In worst case is there a place I can mail/take my tablet to?

like the rom?
Looking firmware flash up right now.
nm guessing you are talking about the asus firmware updates from the asus site I am doing that now.
Updating as i type this 114 updates not sure if thats real updates or its just reflashing/installing the ones i had before

No..... its specifically the touchpanel firmware. Flashing new firmware not only writes the drivers for the touch panel, but it also calibrates things in the process. What ROM / Recovery / Bootloader do you have right now? Are you rooted? Also, I asked you before.... what model screen did you order? ( G01 , G03 , 5158N, Etc ) I need to know this so I can help you get the right firmware for your panel.

I have the 5158n I not no longer rooted so If needed I can reroot. with what ever you say will make it easiest. When i flashed the firmware it unrooted didn't know it was just touch panel firmware i should have done.

I uploaded the factory firmware to my dropbox for you.
This is the G01 firmware - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37729675/02-3011-4820.ekt
This is the 5158N Firmware https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37729675/04-3021-7053.ekt
Go to settings, about , and tap the touch panel version about 10 times very fast. It should open up a special firmware window and ask you what file you want to flash. Navigate to where ever you saved the file to and select it. If it works, do not touch anything until its finished. Its trying to calibrate things and touching the screen will mess it up.
You can change from the broken 5158N to a G01 this way as well. Its MUCH cheaper ( And what I did with success ). 5158N = $100 USD. I only paid $43 USD for the G01 and had zero problems with it.
If you cant get to the update firmware screen, you can also try tapping the camera version about 10 times very fast as well.
Lastly, the easiest way is to root the tablet. Then download a terminal app. gain root ( type su in the box, hit enter, and press allow root permissions when it pops up ). After your terminal window has root, type this command without quote "touch_fw_update -u /location/of/your/file/here.ekt" . I flashed the firmware right from my etc/firmware directory, and I flashed the G01 firmware. My command looked like this "touch_fw_update -u /system/etc/firmware/touch/02-3011-4820.ekt"
DO NOT touch anything until its done doing its thing. It calibrates things and pressing the screen will mess it up. It takes about 3 minutes to complete.
If everything flashes correctly, and you still have no touch input, you might have fried the coil on the mainboard. If that's the case, you will need to break out a soldering iron and bridge it.
PS
If Ive helped, don't forget to hit thanks
Edit:
I saw that there is another firmware for the 5158n than I have posted. The other reference is to a 4822, but Im not seeing that anywhere. Hopefully the 7038 works for you though.

That it says 4822 doesn't mean it'd work out of the box. Even if you have the correct firmware, you'd need to reflash it every time you replace the digitizer. Once in a while it would update the firmware on its own, but most of the time you'd need to do it. Good luck.

Absolutely. I know Joker66599's screen shows it having 4022 firmware, but from what I read, the 5158N also uses the 7038 firmware. Not sure which is newer though. I checked in the factory firmware folder and didnt see 4022 in there.
Weird I can not find the file .ekt when in the camera firmware screen. I can not go in using the touch panel selection. Even it I select the directory the file is in I get an error. I have the file you provided in several places just to try for ****s and giggle (root, sdcard/thechive, and sdcard/boat browser/downloads). I will post that error message in a bit.
So my brother in law just gave me his old galaxy tab 10.1 2, and i'm thinking it's been rooted or something. I was hoping one of you guys on here would be able to help me out. Under Settings - About Tablet it says its' on 4.4.4, Kernel version 3.0.101 SlimKat+. Under Slim Version it says Slim-4.4.4 build.6-OFFICIAL-5268. Under Build number it says slim_p5110-userdebug4.4.4.KTU84P 5268 test-keys.
Now, heres what's wrong. The home key does not work, when you touch it it will highlight, but nothing happens, the only way to get out of an app is to hit the back key enough times until you back out to the home screen. also, the "open apps" key does not work either. I've tried to boot into a recovery to see if it has twrp or cmw installed, but when i hold the power and volume key, it goes into a download mode....no recovery. And as if that were not enough, something is wrong with the wifi and i can't get online to download goo manager. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? I'd like to either fix this rom or install another one, but not sure what to do if it doesn't have a recovery installed.... thanks guys.
My s6 has inverted the x axis of the screen that is when I tap on the right side it taps left, like in dialer when I tap 1 it taps 3. I have upgraded my phone to android 6.0.1 using a firmware from sammobiles through odin. Please help me to solve this issue.
Things I have done so far:
1) Use the code *#2663#, which is not working even any of secret code is not working.
2) Intially it gives me a drk issue after upgrading but fix this issue using a kernel.
3) I have hard reset my phone.
4) I root it but no benefits were shown.
5) My imei number has also been changed into another imei number.
Please help me in solving this issue.
check your bootloader, make sure you have the right one for your model/country/carrier, see if that helps.
Did you root a wrong version ( for example g925f instead of g920f ) ? You can download the app "Phone INFO ★Samsung★" and search for the secret menu tab. There you can find the 2663 code, press on it and upgrade the touch screen penal firmware by pressing "TSP FW update (General)"

Oh wait nvm
The screen of my OnePlus One is broken at the bottom and as a result, a rectangular area is non-responsive, but I can still see everything clearly. I used to have a screen rotation app which could rotate the screen whenever required and so I could still access and interact with all areas of my screen. I had been happily using CM12 since the last one year or so.
Today, I tried to update it to CM13 latest snapshot build and was successful after many tries. However, when I rebooted the phone after installation, the first screen asked me to select a language and click on "Next" button which is on the bottom screen, and I am unable to press it. CM12 was able to rotate the screen to the landscape mode and I was able to go ahead but CM13 does not allow this.
Any ideas on what are the possible solutions to this issue?
I tried searching for possible ways to control a phone via PC but all of those solutions seem to require USB Debugging option to be enabled and I can not do it till I set up my phone! Please HELP! Else I might have to go back to CM12!
Extra Info:
I have a cyanogenmod recovery in my phone. I can't use TWRP since it can not be controlled by hardware buttons.
ADB detects my device but shows it as unauthorized, and hence I can not use any of the ADB shell commands also.

I have a Galaxy Tab 2, model GT-P3113TS that was previously rooted. I decided to factory reset it the other day. But for whatever reason, during the setup process, Google keeps giving the the same error message for days now after I confirm my email credentials: "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem." The worst part is I cannot continue. So I can't get into the tablet to try anything. I see all these suggestions posted over the internet to install this, or change this, etc, yet I can't do them because I'm locked in this setup loop. I don't have access to the OS to do anything, unless someone knows how I can bypass this setup procedure.
1. I've tried different wifi networks
2. I've tried multiple Gmail accounts, even creating a new one when it asks if I already have one or create a new one.
3. I've confirmed the time and date is correct
4. I've cleared both the Cache and Data from Recovery
Any suggestions?
You could try installing again the stock rom via odin (you can find many guides how to do it if you google it ). Download the rom from here: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=GT-P3113

Update - Disregard. The actual image is in the zip file.
Just noticed that rom file is a zip file. Odin doesn't work with zip files. Can it be converted or should I just keep looking?

Unzip it and flash the unzipped file with odin. It should be a .tar.md5 file.

you can skip the whole setup screen by tapping the 4 corners of the display clockwise.
when the setup screen appears
1. tap corner upper left
2. tap corner upper right
3. tap corner bottom right
4. tap corner bottom left

I flashed the stock rom mentioned above. I was able to successfully login and gain access to the tablet.
Now I have a new problem! I wanted to check my standard Recovery via the Power + Vol Up key. It loads but it always says No command under the android robot. When I select Wipe Cache Partition, it says "Erasing...." then says "Error!" and the tablet reboots.
Here is an image of the System Recovery if that helps:

The "no command" is normal; don't worry. The error is not though. I suggest you install twrp since it's better than the stock recovery.
