SGS2 LTE GT-I9210
The reason why im writing this is because i was to ignorant and hasty.
By starting of i followed a thread on a swedish forum on how to get my phone rooted, first of it worked as expected.
After a while i updated my android to a newer version, and yesturday i found out that my root had stop working, so i gave it a second shot, i followed the same tutorial.
After that my home & back buttons stopped working, and then i saw in the same thread that alot of people have encountered the same problem.
I have looked around and it seems like a way to get the keys to work is to install a older version of SlickMod, when i do my keys work, but this system does not support a swedish keyboard layout.
I was stupid and did not backup my phone before i tried rooting it.
I want to ask is there a way to restore my phone without having its standard backup, or atleast getting it to work propperly (without any fancy mod)?
For now i can only enter odinmode.
Wrong forum buddy you should search xda for your phone model and see if you can find what you're looking for

I can't seem to find a forumpart for my phone on xda, can you point me in the right direction?
@ogelami
There is a search feature for something still there is not a match for your exact model but if it was me I would start here:

I would steer clear of any forum not specifically for your phone. It appears that is a very new model. I think its the one Sprint is getting.

Hello,
Based on GT-i9210T procedure that does not work properly on GT-i9210, I tryed some alternative procedure and I successfull retrieve all of my soft keys fonctionnalities.
We have to note that today, there are no CWM recovery for GT-i9210. CWM 5.0.2.6 or 5.8.1.3 (touch) are dedicated to hercules (i9210T) and not to Celox (i9210). Flash Celox with hercules CWM recovery causes soft keys issues !
So this is my procedure based on sc0ttf procedure, which was dedicated to GT-i9210T (and not GT-i9210) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1593061.html)
1st of August 2012
WARNING: do this at your own risk!
Assuming you've got CW5.8.1.3 (CWM v5.0.2.6 do not work on GT-i9210) on your I9210 and a most recent backup zip on your SD (doesn't have to be pre-superuser i.e. your first ever back-up)
1. Copy your back-up file from SD to your computer (just in case)
2. Install ICS Megamix EXACTLY THE WAY IT TELLS YOU TO (MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE)
Install ICSMegamixS3v2.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1576924
DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1477955
NOTE : After installation :
* Wipe Data
* Wipe Cache
(Only !)
As you reboot, you will notice it (ICS) being unstable and unable to make calls.
NOTE : for me (i9210 Celox), no problem to dial following code
3. Now press *#*#2663#*#* and confirm Phone's Touch is 0x9 and Part's Touch is 0x0. If this is so, now press Touch Key FW Update which will upgrade your Part's to 0x9
3 bis (added by me) : do the same with *#*#86824#*#*
NOTE : for me, the version was v0x11
4. Reboot
5. Now laugh as you see your phone having a psychotic episode. Your soft buttons should be lit up and your screen should be wacky (like you're repeatedly and continuously pressing the soft menu button). NOTE: although your buttons are lit up now (brought tears to my eyes), they are not working yet but are close to working
6. Now, reboot into CWM v5.8.1.3 => this was impossible for me !!!
=> NOTE : For me, CWM v5.8 was so unstable that it was impssible to performe remaining wipes. I decided to flash stock rom, hoping that i9210 will be back and more stable...
7. Stock Rom flash. Reboot : i9210 were so unstable that I forced it to stop.
8. Reboot on recovery mode, wipe data wipe several times...
H/W Key release is OK (v07) using *#*#2663#*#* et *#*#86824#*#*
9. Stop the GT-i9210 and remove battery 1 min
10. Reinsert battery and test
11 dial *2767*3855# => deep factory reset and reboot
12 : Every thing is OK
=> All is OK for me...
Hoping that tomorrow, everything will be OK* !
NOTE : yesterday I tryed the same procedure and I flashed CWM 5.1.8.3, I think it was the reason why this morning, soft keys were gone out...
i have the touch recovery installed on my i9210 (portuguese) and it's working nicely.
So you lost your soft keys, flashing ICS on i9210 right?

Yes, following the tutorial I post will cause your soft keys to reborn. Flashing ICS, following the procedure above and flashing back a firmware for GT-i9210 is the way to do it.
well it's weird cause i only have the recovery 5.8.1.3 and my touch keys are just fine.
Something very strange happened yesterday.
I got the latest OTA and installed it, after this the touch screen is not responding at all.
I managed to control the tablet with an usb mouse, so I have been able to do a factory reset, but to no avail.
Just now I'm clueless on what to do.
I actually did on more thing in the same process; the initial reason for why I took up the tablet yesterday, was to put on a screen protector film.
So while it was updating I put on the screen protector, after all this was done the touch screen was not responding. I don't think this issue has nothing to do with the screen protector, and I have also now removed the film. But still the screen does not react to touch.
But what to do from here?
Is it possible to revert to a previous version of the firmware?
I doubt reversion is the best option.
If this was common this forum would be flooded with complaints.
It might have been something to do with putting on the screen protector DURING an update.
Factory reset may help. Did you try the pinhole reset switch?

I can use the tablet with a usb mouse, and have been able to do a factory reset. But this did not difference.
I have also tried the pinhole reset, no luck...
I have the same issue.
I tried back to ICS stock rom. Touch screen is not responding too. :crying:

Interesting.
Was it after the latest OTA the touch screen stopped working? Or was it something else that started this?
My tablet is stock in every way, never been rooted or had other roms installed.
I could of course send it in to service, but since I bought the tablet while on holiday in Washington DC and I reside in Norway, it's a little unpractical.

what is your image version and touch FW version? my A700 touch function is normal after OTA update.
my image is Acer_AV051_A700_RV19RC01_TWN_GEN1
touch FW version:AT0-22F40-F6935B
My touch screen work again.
I back to ICS stock rom (Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC06_EMEA_FR), then I apply the update (Acer_A700_AV043.RV07RC06_AV043.RV23RC04_EMEA_FR).
Now I'm on JB (Acer_A700_AV043.RV23RC04_AV051.RV10RC01_EMEA_FR). All Work fine.

Thanks. Compared to yours I see that there is some problem with my touch FW version. On my tablet it says AT0-0-0.
Image version reads Acer_AV051_A700_1.052.00_PA_CUS1
Is it a way for me to fix this? Could I perhaps reapply some of the patches?

Seems the touch FW is incorrect.Maybe you can download the OS upgrade image from Acer website and reflash OS. I checked the image and it should packed touch FW. If still failed, maybe contact Acer service is good way to solve your problem.
Good luck.
I had the same problem this week, bought the Tablet on monday, made the OTA Update and boom, no Touch input.
I resolved it by unlock my device, flash CWM and then flashed a older full rom.
After that i made the OTA Update again and this time it worked well.
I can upload the ROM i used for this if it's needed.

Thanks. I have fixed my tablet now.
I managed to reflash an older rom, taken from Acer site. And then upgraded via ota to the latest version.
I did not need to use cwm. Just started the tablet the power + volume - combination

Problem: Screen touches are bugged..
Hi,
I need some urgent help..
I upgraded my A700 (was shipped with 4.0.4) to JB but the screen touches are completely off track. I did the following:
1) unlocked the bootloader
2) flashed CWM Rom 6.0.1.5
3) installed cm-10
Don't know what to do next..
I have an Acer A700 and I'm having the same problem as others here.
Once I upgarded my ROM, the A700 touch-screen did not work.
I found a post that explained a fix. Here's what I did:
* Flashed the non-touch CWM v6.0.1.5
* Wiped everything (system, data, cache, dalvik)
* Installed the IconiaN ROM (by Vorbeth) and choose the option to have IconiaN upgrade my "Touch Firmware"
* The A700 is now booting with version JB-653b3d3 (Unlocked)
* The ROM loads just fine
However, in the ROM, the touchscreen does not work. Clicking in one place on the screen will trigger a click in an entirely different area of the screen.
I then tried installing one of the stock Acer ROMs from their website through CWM. None of them would load, not sure why?
Other people here seem to have solved the problem by flashing an "older ROM" from Acer. I could not find any trace of this older ROM.
I'm running an American version (PA1_CUS) if that makes any difference? I've also tried installing CM 10.1 with the same problems in the touchscreen.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Where can i get the acer software to update? i've tried to find it on the acer website but i cant find it.
please help. i just got the device and i updated it and now a portion of the screen becomes unresponsive to touch input.
toggling the screen on and off will fix it temporarily but that only lasts for 5 minutes max before it stops being responsive again.
Every thing on it is stock so i want to keep it that way

Try Google and search for your Rom Build number. Should be able to find the update file. You can also try some of the Acer support sites. I remember they have some ICS full roms for the 700.
Next of course, you're going to ask how to install it?
1. Decrypt the original update file (tool is in the themes and apps forum)
2. Using 7zip, OPEN the decrypted file (DO NOT UNZIP IT)
3. Pull the "update.zip" (NO NOT UNZIP IT)
4. Copy the update.zip to your ext sd card
5. Start tablet holding PWR & Vol- or + (can't remember which) until you see the text in upper left corner then release. Now, JB may have a different stock recovery which offers a small menu. I believe you can select the install update from there.
If the update doesn't install, it may be the wrong update file, so you'll have to search for another.
Anyhow, should work for you. But you may have to roll back to the original ICS rom (full version) then OTA update again.
Remember though, you do this at your own risk, so if things get messed up, don't blame anybody

Thank you for the detailed help!
after many google searches i finally found the update files on the acer website!
i managed to go back to ics then re update to jb
and for a while my screen had no issues but they came back again. Im begining to think that its a hardware related issue because it comes and goes. I am going to see if my warranty with square trade will get it fixed.
Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and have run into a snag. I recently installed the CM10 Nightly build. I had no issues with the install itself. However, now one of the axis' is not tracking properly on the touch screen. In portrait mode, the vertical axis is off, and in landscape the horizontal axis is the problem. Also, the corners seem to be fine, but if there is a button in the middle of the screen, I have great difficulty finding where on the screen to tap in order to activate it. Anyone else have this issue or have ideas on how to solve it? Some quick google searches didn't produce much for me (maybe I don't know how to search for this problem).
History:
I rooted my tablet back when that was first figured out and haven't really done much since. I installed CWM 6015 before I wiped data/dalvik cache and installed CM10 straight from the original ICS install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Nobody has seen this before? Or have I explained it poorly?
Problem: Screen touches are bugged..
Hi,
I am also facing the same problem and need some urgent help..:angel:
I upgraded my A700 (was shipped with 4.0.4) to JB but the screen touches are completely off track. I did the following:
1) unlocked the bootloader
2) flashed CWM Rom 6.0.1.5
3) installed cm-10
Don't know what to do next..
Did you get it fixed?
You should take the JB OTA before installing CM 10, or search around for the updated bootloader/touch screen firmware and install that.
I want to use guaranty for my tablet so What should I do to turn my rooted device to official state.
Full story:
Touch screen stopped working and I can work only with pen. I searched web and tried some solutions such as factory reset, but didn't help.
So i think it's a hardware issue and I want to turn it in for repair. But the problem is I've rooted my device with odin(probably with custom Rom) and my binary counters shows 2.
Please guide me how to roll back to official state
P.S. If anyone can help to solve the touch screen issue, I prefer to have my device rooted.

Post # 2 covers the restore but I have seen many posters with pen issue just like yours and it appears that you could have caused the problem somewhere in your Rooting and or the installation of the custom ROM.
Do a search there are lots of people with the same condition and I believe it is rooting and or user MOD's related.
Good luck.

Tanx JJegan, It worked smoothly:victory:.
But still I have the touch screen issue kkretch .
Now I am realy convinced that it is hardware. but thank you for the tip man.
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!!!

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.
