Open /system/build.prop with any root explorer and try adding the following line
Code:
ro.sf.hwrotation=180
Save it and set permissions to rw-r--r--

Use ADB for that
* first download required drivers of your device
*install them on your pc
*turn usb debugging ON in your device
*connect it with pc via data cable ( you can connect it wirelessly, too )
*open up command prompt in the folder of pc you installed the drivers
*first copy the build.prop from your device to pc (say, to xyz folder in your pc) using
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop /xyz
*edit it with notepad and put the line
Code:
ro.sf.hwrotation=180
and save it.
*push it back to /system using
Code:
adb push /xyz/build.prop /system
*use
Code:
adb reboot
and after rebooting you should see your screen fixed!!

Found the solution https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=JOEu8YFV_2U
You should look for line "ro.sf.hwrotation='180"'.
and Change it to "0".
IF "ro.sf.hwrotation = 90" Change it to "270", If "ro.sf.hwrotation = 270" Change it to "90"

fantastic, this has been driving me nuts trying to solve. thanks!

Having the same issue please help.....
I have this phone http://www.mincomall.com/50-s4-i950...m-p-560.html?zenid=cllfnp15h5ivgdjt0p106e6613
and it messed up. I dont have the original rom, and have been looking forever for another. I finally found "1" that would work BUT its upside down, the touchscreen doesnt work, the home button acts as volume up and the volume buttons dont work. If you hold all buttons and slide the battery in you can get the "Test Screen" to show.... and on mine to install the .pac file you have to hold the volume down, power and home buttons while sliding the battery in.....
Please... any help would be greatly appreciated.
(Keep in mind the touchscreen doesnt work so I cant put it in usb debugging, but in usbview it does show up usb ??????)

Here are pics of the phone and PCB in case it helps.
(Noticed it says "ROM: EM848D2-2" on the back, but cant find that on Google anywhere)

Bump..... no one ?

When I tried to change ro.sf.hwrotation it wasn't there so I added it and it was fine, but now it's happening again and changing ro.sf.hwrotation isn't doing anything anymore it's really become a pain.
I've tried making it 0, 180, 90, 270 and nothing has worked. Is there any other method to fix the inverted screen with the inverted touchscreen? (I'm on an Oppo A57)
EDIT: Hold on it somehow just fixed itself when I turned it on again (Not from power off)

How to fix my lower touch in MTK 6580 clone Samsung galaxy S9 plus,,,its stuck on "next" after flashing and i lost my original ROM
phone details
Hardware : MT6580
Model : SM-G960F
Build number : NRD90M.G955USQU1AQC9
Build date UTC : 20180330-085834

i had the same problem when i changed the firmware .
Editing ro.sf.hwrotation solved the touchscreen problem.
However, the gyroscope remains inverted. Is there any way to fix that too?
I have tyd-108h unfortunately I don't have the original firmware :-(

[I9003] DEODEXING Method If Every Other Method Fails (Without Busybox)

This Method Is The method Used By Me For deodexing Gingerbread XXKPE .I used This Method Because I was Not able to install BusyBox (ie The cp command didn't Work.so I was not able to copy the deodexed files to phone .So That the phone did not boot,stuck at the booting time).
Use This Method If Every Method For Deodexing Fails.
Steps
1.) flash to new XXKPE gingerbread Rom
2.) Root Your Phone
3.) download xUltimate-v2.2.8 xUltimate-v2.2.8
Note: You can use the already deodexed files by downloading this link Download Deodexed System Files [COMPLETE] then Goto step 11
4.) Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
5.) If everything goes well xUlt should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
6.) Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
7.) Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
8.) IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3
9.) Now run option 4, and wait.
10.) Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB debugging Mode
11.) Download QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs.zip
QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs.zip
12.) Open It QtADB (left side - Browse to the xultimate folder, Right Side System folder)

14.) type odex in the filter textbox (phone side) and you will see all the odex files.select all and delete them
15.) copy all the files in done_frame to framework folder in the phone side
16.) type odex in the filter textbox (phone side) and you will see all the odex files.select all and delete them
17.) Reboot
Note 1: Rebooting Will take some time .its due to the new caching of files
Note 2: If Copying Get Stuck At somewere ,NO PROBLEM just Recopy The files Until all files are copied
Forget deodoxed process, and thank you brother for This explorer for windows, and I searched a lot for something like this but didn't find any application.
Thanks....

How To Set Up ADB/USB Drivers for Android Devices
So most people won’t have to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) ever, but if you want to learn how or want to get a little more technical with your Android phone, here’s how to get it set up.
I. Setting Up The SDK
1. Download the Latest Android SDK from Google
Android SDK
2. Extract the Android SDK .Zip file to C:\AndroidSDK (this should name the new folder created AndroidSDK in the C directory.
3. On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.
4. Plug your phone into your computer via USB cable (it needs to be on). It should say installing drivers if using Windows.
!UPDATE 12.01.09 – If using Windows 7 skip steps 4 and 5 and use this procedure instead.
5. After it installs the drivers, goto the Start menu and type cmd into the search bar (Vista or higher) or click Run then type in cmd (XP) to open the command prompt.
6. Type the following into the command prompt window (hitting enter at the end of every line):
cd\
cd AndroidSDK\tools\
adb devices
browse the C:\AndroidSDK\tools\ as the path whe QtADB asks

First, you have to have UC-Kernel on your phone. Do not flash anything below if you are on different kernel.
UC-Kernel can be found here.
Read below on "how to have your own custom boot logo"

How to change bootlogo/bootscreen
Our kernel (v03 onwards) comes with its own bootlogo/bootscreen... but to enable that bootlogo/bootscreen u need to separately flash a file via ODIN...
This basically is based on what Skin1980 had posted to modify bootlogo...
[ how to enable loading custom bootlogo ]
first download modifier-XXKPQ-bootlogo.tar
check the md5hash of the file to ensure file integrity
reboot device into Download mode
connect to PC via USB cable
start ODIN
make sure that device is detected
click on PDA and select the file u downloaded
now click start
after flashing is successful the device will reboot
now flash our kernel!
[ how to have ur own custom bootlogo ]
this can be done ONLY after u flash the modifier
u need a 480x800 image and it has to be in JPEG format
the file should be called as logo.jpg and has to be saved in /mnt/.lfs/
thats it reboot device to see ur own logo
[ how to disable loading custom bootlogo ]
first download stock-XXKPQ-bootlogo.tar
check the md5hash of the file to ensure file integrity
reboot device into Download mode
connect to PC via USB cable
start ODIN
make sure that device is detected
click on PDA and select the file u downloaded
now click start
after flashing is successful the device will reboot
now custom bootlogo will be disabled!
[ download links ]
Modifier XXKPQ
MD5HASH: fd95a5097ec37911023b23df08f53fa4
Stock XXKPQ
MD5HASH: 0a2a8a45c4b44cbbf170e3b85ff748dd
[ troubleshooting ]
at first u may need to reboot 2 or 3 times to see our custom bootlogo
if even after flashing the modifier u are unable to see our custom bootlogo OR if u want to revert back to our bootlogo; then:
once device boots start RootExplorer
go to the folder /data/local/tmp/
delete the file uckernelbootlogo
reboot device
this will force the kernel to push our logo to /mnt/.lfs/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tips:
1. its /mnt/.lfs/ not /mnt/.ifs/
2. You can use the move command in terminal emulator since .lfs is hidden
3. Save any .jpg to sdcard as "logo.jpg"
4. mv /sdcard/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg
5. Once logo.jpg is in .lfs, it seems it cannot be overwritten, you need to flash the modification again if you want to change boot screens.
Sir wheres the DL link..
nice work man
You can right click and save the pics above directly and use them as logo.jpg
STEP 1: Save the images and put them /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg
STEP 2: Thanks inciongd for the awesome screens!!
superb buddy...

To change bootlogo again without flashing,
Delete the file /data/local/tmp/uckernelbootlogo
Reboot (a few times, till stock boot logo is pushed by kernel)
Then place the new boot logo.jpg to /mnt/.lfs/
Reboot

are you trying to do this on cm7 like me? if so, it's a bit of work to do it 'cause you have to flash other fw to do this and go back to cm7. if you're not, are you flashing the "extra" cfroot from the universal thread? if so, are you getting the image noise like you're supposed to?

Hi there, and thanks for the Recovery !
However, I wasn't able to install it (I could'nt understand the instructions, they are non readable in the .bat file).
Even though I have ADB and drivers installed on my PC, and USB debugging on, when I run the .bat file and click "1", it will boot in fastmode but then will be stuck at "wiating for device".
Am I doing something wrong ?
How did you manage to installl it guys ?
Thanks !

[GUIDE] Enable Multi-Window Mode on Android 6.0 Marshmallow

There's a hidden feature in Android 6.0, multi window. It has its warnings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So decide if this is actually for you before following these steps
It's not shown in user builds, so we have to do some messing. You'll either need root or a custom recovery to do this, but as not everyone wants root, here's how you do it with TWRP, a USB cable, and a PC with ADB:
1. Boot your device into recovery
2. Mount your system by going to Mounts > Tick System
3. On your PC open a command line, somewhere like your desktop is useful
4. Type the following command:
HTML:
adb pull /system/build.prop
5. Open the build.prop file with your favourite (decent) editor, I recommend using Notepad++ on Windows
6. Find the "ro.build.type" line
7. Change the text after = to "userdebug" from "user"
BONUS: If you want a nicer DPI here, change the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" to your preferred DPI
8. Save the file
9. Go back to the command line and enter the following command:
HTML:
adb push build.prop /system/
10. Now open a shell doing:
HTML:
adb shell
11. Now a adb shell will open, enter these commands:
HTML:
cd system
chmod 644 build.prop
12. Reboot the device as normal
13. When the device has booted, go to the developer options
14. Scroll down to the bottom of the "Drawing" category
15. Enable multi-window and have some fun!
If you're rooted...
1. Download "Build.prop editor"
2. Find "ro.build.type"
3. Edit it to have the value "userdebug" from "user"
4. Reboot when prompted
5. When the device has booted, go to the developer options
6. Scroll down to the bottom of the "Drawing" category
7. Enable multi-window and have some fun!
Worked ! Thanks
Such a shame the Keynote didn't introduce such feature, it's stable enough. Just think of the use of the feature on a 10" tablet.
works perfect thank you !

Go recent menu, on the apps beside the x there's a button to choose the top half or second half.
Multirom users can go /data/media/multirom/roms/ and edit the build prop directly there, no need to use adb. I did it without using a PC
I flashed the latest hammerhead twrp with fastboot command, it was successful, but when I reboot bootloader and choose recovery, it keeps loads forever and sometimes the screen flashes black. I tried CWM after that, it said root needed. How do you guys got recovery on M?

Nope. I tried doing the "push/pull files" and it didn't work. You can install custom Recovery with WugFresh then follow these instructions.

Can you send your build.prop to me via pm. I can make a flashable zip for you
Hello people, I have multirom installed on my nexus 5, the primary rom is 5.1.1 (LMY48B), and my secondary rom is the developer preview MPZ44Q. I want to know if it's possible to enable multi-window mode since the M preview is installed as secondary rom.
I did it. Reboot into recovery. Swap the Roms. Don't reboot . reboot into recovery again from the reboot tab. Select multiboot tab just to ensure you are OK and the M ROM is the internal.. Mount system and do what the op says. Reboot into recovery again swap Roms again . reboot system and you should be OK. Takes like a half an hour to do though
PS. NEVER FIX SU. ALWAYS SKIP
I understood that if i try to install su on the M rom, it will result in bootloop. And my internal rom is stock ROOTED. So do you think it will work ?
When i will swap the roms, the fact that my primary rom is rooted, will it cause any problem ? Thanks in advance.
Nope my primary is still rooted. And I an typing this from my secondary M ROM with multi window enabled. All you have to do is never fix su for either ROM and never boot the system with M as your primary ROM and you are ok
Help me too

Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
[I]Okay[/I]
fastboot flash revovery recovery.img
[I]Okay[/I]
fastboot reboot
and entering TWRP (2.8.7.0) by pressing ON + VOL DOWN
I am stuck here.
- I cant get a connection from my PC to the phone, its not recongnized anymore in ADB (result blank) after
Code:
adb devices
- the extra SD card (in SD card slot) is not mounted and the TWRP-mount option dont let me select "Micro SDcard" or "USB OTG".
- I cant copy images or zips or any files to the phone plus I cant read data from the ext. sd card (fat32, 4096 bytes) when inserted in the phone.
Asking for help:
How can I mount the SD card via TWRP-Teminal ?
How can I adb connect the phone to my PC again ?
Any suggestions to reflash the phone ?
I really appreciate any help!

[SOLVED] Re-flashing a ROM with TWRP only on phone
After failing to manually mount the SD-Card or a USB-Stick via OTG-cable through the Terminal with command line function, the xda-user L33Tgod gave me the (simple) tip via pm to use the flashtool and flash the phone with a valid ROM (again)... THX a lot L33tgod!
As a result, I can access my phone & my SD-Card again. Now I have a working ROM on my phone and I am no longer stuck in a TWRP-Menue only, without the chance to communicate with the phone via ADB etc.
So I followed the below how-to (nothing new, I know, but the solution for my problem)
Flash your FTF firmware file
This section details the steps needed in order to flash new firmware onto your Sony Xperia device.
First of all, open Flashtool and then click on the lightning bolt in the top left of Flashtool as highlighted below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select “Flashmode” and click “OK”.
You should already be in the source folder where the FTF firmware files are located. If not, navigate to: “C:\Users\[Your PC Name]\.flashTool\firmwares”
Select the firmware build version that you want to flash from the “Firmware” pane. Ensure the device variant is the same as the model number of your Sony Xperia device.
If you want to retain your apps, data and media (photos, videos, music), then ensure that the “USERDATA” option within the “Wipe” pane is unticked. However, we recommend that when upgrading a major new Android version, a clean install is the way to go. In this case, tick all options under the “Wipe” pane. This will wipe all of your data though including your photos and videos, so please ensure you have these backed up elsewhere.
IMPORTANT – For FlashTool 0.9.19.10 and older: If you skipped Part 2 of the guide as you already had your own FTF firmware file, then you may see the following ‘SIMLOCK’ option ticked under the “MiscTA Exclude” pane. DO NOT untick SIMLOCK as it could lead to problems with the network lock on your device.
IMPORTANT – For FlashTool versions 0.9.22.0 to 0.9.22.2: The developer has changed the meaning of the tick box in newer versions of Flashtool, which means ticking the box includes “SIMLOCK”. Either way, you want to ensure you are NOT including SIMLOCK when flashing firmware. So to be clear, when presented with the “SIMLOCK” option below, you must NOT tick the box.
NOTE – For FlashTool 0.9.22.3 onwards: The developer has disabled “SIMLOCK”, which means you no longer have to worry about accidentally including it in your firmware flashing. The option is only enabled by entering ‘Pro’ mode. Unless you know what you are doing, then stay well away from Pro mode.
Click “Flash”. Flashtool will then indicate that it is “preparing files for flashing”.
You may have to wait around 60 seconds for the pop-up below to appear. Once it does, you should now connect your Sony Xperia device. Make sure the device is powered off and then hold the ‘volume down’ button whilst connecting the USB cable. Once the pop-up disappears and flashing has started, you can let go of the ‘volume down’ button.
Flashtool will then start flashing your Xperia device.
Once you see “Flashing finished” as indicated below, your Sony Xperia has been successfully flashed.
Congratulations you have just installed Android Marshmallow! Now disconnect your Xperia device and power on the handset. Don’t worry if it takes a while for the handset to boot, this is to be expected.
To confirm that you have upgraded the phone software, click on ‘Settings > About phone’, which will reveal your new Android version and firmware build number.
If you would also like to confirm the region firmware that you have downloaded, you will need to access the service menu option. To do this, open the dialler and enter the following: *#*#7378423#*#*
Then click ‘Service info > Software info’. The CDF is an eight digit number under the “Customization Version” that should tie in with the firmware you downloaded from XperiFirm. For example, you will notice below that the CDF (software customisation version) of 1298-7362 matches the same firmware that we downloaded in the XperiFirm screenshots above.
Thx to all the helpers !
