try rebooting, if that fails try flashing another rom or using odin?
firmware flashed back to JI6 screen buttons still dead.
try to ODIN to stock. if that doesnt work, the only thing i can think of is to bring it to a tmobile store
code used *#*#2663#*#*
ok FIXED
seems after reboot i had to reupdate touchscreen firmware yet again. maybe Onyx did not have the particular firmware in it's files, and i had to go back to a samsung firmware.

I punched in this code: *#*#2663#*#* to update the firmware for my touch-screen and touch-key.
When I hit "Touch Key FW update" it updated really fast and everything was great!
When I hit "TSO FW update" is said "Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!" And it STAYED THERE FROZEN...
It said "Do not turn off!" So I left it until the battery died!
Then I plugged it in to charge it, and now the back button and menu button BOTH don't work at all! I tried two more times to "TSP FW Update" but it's totally permenantly frozen!
I tried flashing the stock firmware!
I can't get to the menu to do "factory reset!"
What do I do??
Have you tried using a USB jig and reloading firmware using Odin?

I have completely reloaded the firmware twice since then from a stock rom. I used Odin for it. My operating system works fine, generally, but the menu and back keys will not work.
But, are you saying that I can use Odin to specifically reload the TSP firmware? Because I haven't done that. If that's what you're saying, do you know where I can get TSP firmware?

Never heard of that and you dont need a uSB jig anyway as you are loading firmware ok .
I would download correct stock firmware .
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero if rooted or custom roms used ..
Return to service centre .

Hi,
So this issue has been fixed??
Hi all. Well... It happened to me too. I followed an advice to remove 4.3 lag by updating this, and lost all touch.
The screen won't even turn on now, but I know the phone is powered up because when I plug in a usb cable I get the windows popup.
Wow this sucks so much and I'd like to ask for any advice if there's a fix for this. I'll try to check if I can enter recovery and reflash the rom, but I think all my buttons are dead.
---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------
Update: after maybe an hour it came back to life. I had good battery so I guess it was downloading/updating stuff, during which I had no control of the phone.
As far as the experience enjoyment, I give it a 2/10, would not do again.
So it was in that "Now Updating... Warning! Do not turn off!" mode for a hour and after that all was normal again? Is the wakeup problem solved with that?
Solved - gt-i9000m *#2663# tsp fw update glitch

Hi there pattmayne and particularly anyone still getting mileage from their GT-I9000M,
I had this issue with Galaxy S Vibrant (North America) - GT-I9000M (the M is significant). I thought I would explore the *#2663# option and hey, why not update everything while I am there. I lost the use of my Menu and Back soft buttons and no amount of flashing or factory resetting seemed to help.
I found a promising solution on an obscure board (to me : forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2181386) as follows :
- Run the TSP FW update,
- Although it may appear to be stuck, wait a good number of minutes to be sure it has done what it needs to do,
- Interrupt the « update » specifically by removing the battery,
- [wait a few seconds for memory to discharge],
- Insert the battery, start up again, and run the other update, TS FW,
- Voila !
In order to access the special code, I had to flash back to stock and for some reason, I decided to flash back to Froyo instead of Gingerbread. The result being that from 2.2-Froyo, the TSP FW update actually worked, so I did not have to bother with pulling the battery. I am very happy to have my phone back in one piece !
I much prefer Heimdall over Odin, however I did have to do some research to find a decent Heimdall tutorial.
You should be able to find the stock files for Froyo by searching for GT_I9000M_UGJK3_UGJK3_BMCJK3.
If you can't, ping me and I will get around to providing a full write-up on how to mod your GT-I9000M (with many thanks to those that have gone before me).
Hi, i have more or less the same problem with my Galaxy S4 GT I9505. After updating to lollipop (5.0.1) the back and menu buttons were not working anymore so i started searching for some solutions, and i saw the updating touchscreen firmware option and now the fit touch is not working anymore as the buttons. I read that making that i could have fried the LCD Touchscreen. I dont hope so, the LCD is new, I've re-flashed to 5.0.1 as a reinstall. And theres no solution. I need help, i cant afford another 65€ in other LCD

There is a 26 page long thread over on the S4 forum about exactly this problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3250132
It is doubtful that anybody on the S2 forum will be able to help you as anything that works for the S2 probably won't work on the S4......
Sorry fella, your best bet is to post in the thread I linked you to.....
Good luck.

I would imagine LCD failure, though I can't be quite sure. Could you include a picture of it?

The same problem with my GSM Evo 3d:/
What ROM, Radio, kernel are you using? LeeDroid V5.3 and LeeDroid V4.2.1-1.94GHz-KERNEL, radio - 10.59.9020.00_10.15.9020.06 in my case
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/543/img20120225140835.jpg
I noticed that when I removed battery and tried to boot, in the beginning screen was black and then was LeeDroid's boot-sound and when phone is supposed to ask for my PIN code the rainbow-pixel screen appears.
Could anyone make step by step instruction how to reflash ROM? I cannot see anything so I need all information (like push vol down two times). I hope it might works

really... LCD Failure... how would i fix that... here are some pics. I am running this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456793 on version 1.3.
so i will post pics, and do you think rogers would be able to fix this problem or would it cost a hell of alot of money?
I'm not convinced that it's LCD failure. LCD is working (in a strange way) and in my case touch is working as well. In my opinion it might be motherboard (or anything that controls LCD). I'm going to try changing radio, rom and kernel - maybe it will work. But I really need your help with the step by step guide I mentioned in my previous post.
ok, so what are you going to try and do, are you going to try and reflash a rom?
like i can try and give you instructions, but i need to know what you want to do.
EDIT: I have downloaded and tried to run the RUU for My rogers htc evo. it is installing the rom, stock radio, and what not. so when it is done i will update and post back if that worked or not.
UPDATE: Installing the new RUU did not work, the screen is still messed up im guessing its a hardware failure. im going to try to bring it into rogers and see if they will do anything to help me out.
Something new, now my screen is completely black (but i can hear that touchscreen and touch buttons are working).

My screen is once more pixelful
I don't want to start new topic so I'll ask here:
Could anyone please help me with going back to stock rom?
My LCD is still not functional so it'll be unusual guide.
1. I open cmd and run adb reboot bootloader command (with stock rom in PG86IMG.zip file)
2. Does phone starts in fastboot or bootloader? If fatboot I need to press power button right?
3. Now phone should check for PG86IMG.zip file, what should I press to accept flash?
4. Now few minutes for flash
5. And what button should I press to reboot?
Is there any easier way to flash stock rom without working LCD? with adb commands maybe? please help me guys

Your in diagnostic mode. Hold down the power button for 45 seconds then press the camera button twice it should reset the phone.
Diagnostic Mode, never herd about it. I tried both with phone on and off, no luck :/. Anyone has idea what it might be? (I'll post picture once more http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/543/img20120225140835.jpg)
PS
I managed to reinstall my shipped ROM, but screen is still f*cked up ;(.
Guys I have a problem. Is there any way to switch on USB debugging without working screen? I need to s-on my phone and I cannot use adb without USB debugging. My touch screen and touch buttons are working though so maybe someone could make screenshots how to switch it on? I'm on stock ROM now.
Or maybe there is other method to use step 5 of this tutorial without USB Debugging?
And one more question, If my phone doesn't connect with computer in bootloader/fastboot, does it means that I have s-on?
Hi,
###Feel free to skip this part:[For starters, i want to give a very brief introduction of myself, as a new member of this board. I'm a soon to be language teacher in Germany. I often choose Usernames with "Hank" in it, as i used to be a Turbonegro Fan in my Teens and still like'em. I got to know this forum from former Problems with my old phone, my Motorola MS. I know signed up due to problems my girlfriend has with her phone, i wasn't able to find solutions without asking som questions]#####
last night, my batterie died, so i charged it and then thought of turning on my Ace, nothing bad in mind...
But then it just stuck when the "Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830" Screen appeared.
So i started researching some Android/Samsung Forums and the first thing i tried is to "reset" it by pushing "Home + Power" Buttons simultaneously. Didn't work. Same Screen as mentioned above appears and stays.
The next thing i found was "Vol. Down + Home + Power" - now i got a screen that says "Downloading..." in little yellow letters. I was happy first but unfortunately nothing happend after that.
It's a new phone, so there's still waranty and i might have to send it to Samsung. Maybe someone here knows a method i might try where i wont lose the waranty.
But either way i'm curios how this might have happened!? I didn't try any flashing or modding, because it's my girlfriends phone and she's more than satisfied with it's functions!?
try to go to recovery and wipe everything
or flash cwm recovery and flash roms
or go to download mode the downloading signs
and use odin to flash stock firmware
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
thanks for your quick answer....
there's no way i can enter recovery mode. It's Power + Home for several seconds, isn't it?
Flashing sth leads to loss of warranty, right? I think that's too risky due to my knowledge...
Do you have an idea hwo this could have happened?
Obviously he on stock rom with stock kernel, maybe even no root
So I'm gonna suggest a simplest way.
Boot into recovery (hold home+power button simultaneously) and when it do go into recovery, just do reset to factory. I can't remember correctly what the exact menu because only got experience with stock recovery for a hour or so
Btw navigate up/down via volume up/down button and make selection with home button. Good luck

But Download Mode works for you . (Home + Power + Vol Down)
You're going to have to flash a firmware via ODIN .
Follow my newbie guide on how to flash something via ODIN .
Be sure to download a full package ROM

So do u still remember what android version and from what region the stock rom is? As u stated that u still can access download mode, just download the same firmware from sammobiles.com and flash it via Odin.

The other one is a black screen with white letters saying "MDL something something" this screen, i don't get on my phone!?
Is the first screen fine or is do i have to get to the second one!? (Because i don't)
Will the warranty get lost, when i do that?

First one is correct
Herpderp Defy.
From what country and operator is your phone?
So we can suggest a rom for you to flash!
If you do this yor warranty will not be voided! (hopefully :b)
I wouldn't worry about the warranty too much.
It all sounds scary but when you've done it a couple of times you'll notice It's not so big of a thing.
Just always take your time and read up on things before you start doing stuff.
Today, I had the CM7.2 rom on my SK17, and it worked perfectly, I toke the phone to use it, but the touch screen didn't worked! I saw the things in the screen, but touching it gave me the same result as touching a non tactile screen! Of course, I couldn't unlock and use it.
I tried to enter the CWM mode and flash it. In the CWM the soft keys didn't worked, so I had to wait to flash again the boot.img at home with the computer.
But although I flashed again the boot.img, the touch screen didn't worked. I tried to flash other different boot.img, but it continues without work. I don't know what to do!!
Do you flash the right rom??mango??
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro using XDA
Seen quite a lot of topics about SK17 touchscreen problems, but no solution yet, neither do we know what causes the bug.
Also, soft keys in CWM not working. I hear that first time.
Get back to fully stock ROM, might help you.
Of course I had flashed the correct rom, for mango, sk17, and I returned to the official rom too, but the problem persists.
I think it's a hardware problem, but I don't know if I should open the phone to see if something is broken...
Ok, I finally decided to take the phone to vodafone and make them solve the problem. It's under warranty yet and I think it's a hardware problem, so I won't have to pay, but I'll have to cope without my xperia during 10 days :S
Thanks for the ideas you suggested
yeah, me too having this problem.... once it worked i restored backup...but after 30minutes stopped working again.... i can change kernels...but not working..so i guess not the lib's fault here. Also softkeys doesnt work, i guess they are part of screen.
I've installed a couple of different roms (custom en stock) and suddenly my touch screen isn't working anymore.
I'm sure it's not a physical problem (didn't drop), is it possible a rom messed up my touch screen drivers or something like that?
Download mode is working fine, installation of any rom without any problem but at the language selection screen my touch screen doesn't respond.
Does anyone got more options I can try before I send it to a Samsung Service Center.

right, to start off remove your sim/sd card (if you have one)
next format the internel sd card, or dlete EVERYTHING on it
wipe the phone in recovery
download the latest Samsung firmware and flash that in odin (instructions on the thread) then after you see the samsung logo pop back up enter stock recovery mode. then wipe everything there. boot up and touch screen SHOULD work. If it doesn't send it into Samsung. Little more i can do.... good luck
I have had the exact same thing happen to me - and have found one other user with the same issue as well - seems like too much of a coincidence that it happened after a rom upgrade for it to be hardware - even more of a coincidence for the same thing to happen to three different people
part of me refuses to accept that its a hardware issue - I am trying all sorts of rom and kernel (stock and modded ) solutions to see if that resolves it
I tried the same things, tried a lot of roms but all the same the touch screen didn't work.
On another forum a guy advised to install the CWM touch and see if that works, but after the install I couldn't got to the recovery mode.
So I couldn't test it.
An other thing Im going to test is attaching a usb OTG cable and attach a mouse. Im curious if the mouse will work and if it's possible to recalibrate the touch screen......
If you have a solution I would be very happy.

I tried a few roms that use Aroma to install and the touchscreen doesn't work in that either
I have also just noticed that when ever i try to install any CWM touch version - i am unable to boot to recovery - regular cwm recovery and the stock recovery will work
is that linked maybe?
I've attached a mouse with the OTG cable but still wasn't able to reconfigure/calibrate the touch screen.
So installed triangleaway, back to the original rom and to the repair center
How did you install Triangle away without being able to get into a rom?
at the moment my rom count is 27 and i didnt realise i could get triangle away on there without a rom to load it into - is there a .zip update that will do it from the stock recovery?
