A friend I work with, his son apparently tried putting music on his tab, it corrupted, so he used kies to try a factory reset and now touch doesn't work.
I put on a cyanogen 4.1.2 rom and it still won't register touch.
The only things I can think of are the kernel may be wrong or there may be an internal damage problem.
I have searched here and google with no luck.
Thanks in advance!
So I'm assuming the Tab is rooted, correct? If so, I'm assuming you have a custom recovery? If so, have you tried formatting (system, data, cache, dalvik, data-media)?

Hi everyone
My tab crashed recently so every single app was forceclosing. Even those in hubs.I had to reinatall all of them.
It seemed like it reset itself. Is that a lnown phenomenon. And do I have to hard reset it or flash it .
Everything works a bit wierdly now.
Samsung Galaxy 8.9 rooted.
Thanks in advance

Most likely it's because of something you did incorrectly.
-Are you using stock firmware or custom ROM? which build?
-what kernel did you use ( How did you root your G-Tab)?
-Did you play around with Titanium Backup or Gemini App Manager (Did you
freeze/block/disable autorun/uninstall any app that you thought it's not important)?
-You mention re-install them after crashing. After you re-install them, did the problem stop for those particular apps?
If you mess around with your system apps using some app manager, then you have to figure out what you did to which app (process) to break it - otherwise, YES you need to flash or do a recovery.
If you didn't mess around with your system apps and it's just happened after you root your G-tab, then YES, please do a factory reset wipe on recovery mode and see if it solves the problem, before you consult to the kernel developer. You may have installed an incompatible root script or kernel to your ROM/firmware.
If re-installing the apps solves the problem, then why not re-install them? It probably is the easiest solution.
Wipe:
- Dalvik Cache (app-cache?)
- Cache (app-specific settings?)
- Data/Factory Reset (everything that wasn't on the device to start with)
From Recovery either one at a time, or all of them if you don't mind loosing everything.

I tried searching, but couldnt really find an answer. I was trying to change the color of the status bar using ROM toolbox and when I tried to install the change it rebooted to the loading screen and stuck. I rebooted into CWM and tried to restore from a previous backup from when I installed 4.1.1 and even though it ran the restore, it then stuck at the samsung screen. All is good now thanks to GTG's ultimate unbrick, but I was hoping to figure out what I did wrong to cause the problem in the first place, and then why the restore wouldnt work in CWM. Thanks, and forgive the noobness....

Idk...maybe Rom toolbox isn't compatible with our phone...I tend to avoid those apps from the play store as they are usually buggy and cause problems

Did you do any wipes before trying to restore your backup? I wipe out what's there first to give the system a clean slate before flashing or restoring.

I did a factory reset, wipe cash, wipe delvik before restoring. Am I right in thinking that after wiping all I should have had to do is to to restore and run it? If it didnt work for whatever reason thats fine, I just want to make sure it was a bug and not user error.
ICS Roms are not fully customizable as of yet with any apps as far a I know not even in UOT Kitchen. In order to fully customize you have to dissect and manually alter which is not recommended unless you are well knowledged on compiling and decompiling.

I've never once had issues wiping then restoring. I had errors only when I didn't do a wipe. Bootloops, force closes, etc. Give it a shot, but nothing is guaranteed as results vary per device.

Since you wiped the device you shouldn't have had a problem restoring.

Hello,
I flashed Cyanogenmod 9 on my S3, and wanted to play around with the full phone encryption feature. I decided I don't like it, and want to go back to no encryption.
I did a factory reset through the rom, and the phone still prompted me for my password. (?) I even tried to wipe in clockwork recovery and still no dice. I did notice that /sdcard cannot be mounted in clockwork recovery, and that might be the issue?
I feel like a complete newb here, but I was hoping someone could explain how to remove the encryption, and explain why it is still present after a factory reset....
This isnt the Galaxy S3 forum, this is the Galaxy 3 Forum >.<
D'oh. Sorry about that. Just read that sticky.

I think the encryption feauture modified the /system. Even after a factory reset the /system stays the same meaning it doesn't get wiped and that may be the reason your phone is still encrypted. Try reflashing the ROM. Anyway, use the right forum next time

Hello there !
I can't toggle on Bluetooth in my GT-P3110 recently.. I'm not on airplane mode.. but WiFi works though...
I even flashed a CM ROM(10.1.3 right now) to see if it works.(may be an silly deed.. I'm just new to these android things)
I have uploaded two videos which shows what really happens when trying to turn on bluetooth...
When I was using the stock rom
After flashing CM
I think that I'm having some hardware failure (i.e. dropping the unit - I never dropped myself.. idk if it happened actually as I share this tablet with my family )
I want to know whether this can be repaired ?.
Is there a seperate accessory inside for Bluetooth which can be replaced ?
Thanks in advance !
Were you on stock firmware when you noticed your bluetooth is not turning on? Was it from the start of your new tablet? Take a look at this thread, someone has the same problem with you and solved it but his problem was caused of inproper flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447156
You could also try to reinstall using wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache from clockwork mod and reinstalling cyanogen again to see if that fixes it.
As your last resort you could flash your tab back to stock recovery and fw (and use TriangleAway to reset your flash counter) and send it to Samsung for repair, especially if it still has warranty.

Thanks for the reply... I noticed the issue when I was on stock stock ROM. I may have to send it to Samsung.
Thanks for the support :highfive:
Is it possible you have another kernel other than stock?

Hey guys,
I searched through here and online, and can't seem to find a solution or REASON for this to have happened, so I made an account! Woo.
I flashed my rooted, cyanogenmod running N5's modem from 4.4.4 to KOT49E and after rebooting the phone, it proudly states I have low storage, that the external storage can't be found, and then swiftkey loses its ****, google play store crashes over and over even though I've not opened it etc etc.
I've wiped the partition cache and the dalvik cache, but it's still not doing ****. I'd really like to avoid reloading a rom on there if I can help it as I've not backed up in a week or so, and I'm sure you all know how much of a ballache THAT is!
so...Thoughts?
First, your should always make a nandriod before flashing anything new.
Can you flash the same modem as you had before?

Are you using CWM recovery? CWM has a bug that reduce your storage to 250mbish size. If that is the case then switch to twrp or philz touch and do a factory reset.
