[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrier:
Hello everyone, I was using ultimarom till now and it worked like a charm. Today I thought hey lets upgrade to android 4.4 so I found temasek's rom and it seemed fine. After flashing the rom, it got stuck on boot screen. So I reflashed the stock rom (btw I wiped everything as required) and it was working. So I retried flashing the Temasek's rom and it booted this time, only thing is that my touch screen was not responding. The capacitive buttons are working also the touch screen is showing everything but not responding to anything. I searched a little bit, and it might be possible that my digitizer is broken which I hope is not since I am in a different country and it will be a pain to do it here. Also I read that if you tried to install Note 2 kernel/rom this might happen but I know that temasek's rom is definitely for s3 so it shouldnt be the case for me. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bektas
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkened_Sky:
have you changed your recovery?

if you flash now another rom or restore your old one does the screen still not work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrier:
I tried with both stock and temasek once again and the touch screen still does not respond. I always used cwm for recovery though, and did a factory reset on the stock recovery once to see if that works. I can flash ultima as well I suppose but I am not sure if that will fix it.

Edit: I tried to flash ultima but the installation steps required the use of touch screen so I could not proceed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonna:
Are you sure that you download Temasek's rom for I9300 not for another model? Because Temasek supports more devices.

And on Temasek's thread I didn't find any user complaining about touch screen issue after installing it,so I think that you flashed it for different model.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Flash back to stock with odin if problem is still there then it is hardware issue....:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrier:
I rechecked and it is temasek for I9300. I restocked ofc with odin and it is no use tbh. I mean it is weird as the first time I flashed stock rom the touch screen was not working for 30 seconds or sth than it started working so I was really happy for a second.. After another flash it was not working and I was like yea it will work soon, but it didnt. I tried with loads of roms and kernels and it is still no use.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrier:
Any help? I have no idea how to fix this! I may have to send my phone for replacement which will be costly I suppose.. Any little tip will be appreciated.

Didn't u install the new version of Cwm? I'm using ultimarom v16 & I try to use Android v4.4.2... It seemed good to me
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrier:
Solution

Hey dude, I couldnt find any solution to that problem. What I did was to send it in for replacement but with warranty. For that you need to triangle away your phone and also install the official firmwares. I had to use a mouse in order to do that but you will need a usb to micro usb converter, which is not that hard to find( and also cheap). They couldnt tell that I installed unofficial firmware, I replaced my screen flawlessly. You can find how to triangle away your phone in this forum and also sammobile is the place to look for official firmware.

That is easy. Do a backup (or registry backup only), whip up that friendly regeditor and locate the string "BTIcon" using a search function or walk there manually, it is in HKLM\Services\BTIcon. Remove the entire BTIcon branch and there you are.

This is coming from memory, hence the strong suggestion to do a BACKUP!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_rex:
I "kind of" solved it

First of all; sorry for my english.

I had the same issue you are having, with a 9.7" Irulu tablet. My guess is that this is due to a bad system partition (not sure if it's some kind of security strategy). This is how I "kind of" solved it. I downloaded the firmware image from Irulu website and unpacked it with "Image Packer". If you don't have it, google "Allwinner image unpacking" and you are go. Then I used simg2img.exe to extract the system image file (I'm not sure if that's necessary). When I did that, it gave me a crc error. I think the partition is kind of faulty, so when the system tries to mount it, it gives an error and remounts it as Read-Only. So I opened the image with an Hex Editor and looked for the EXT4 magic number, wich is "53 EF". So I found "53 EF 01 00 02". This "02" tells the system to remount it as read-only in case of an error. By changing it to "01" you are telling the system to ignore the error. That's why I told I "kind of" solved it. Because I didn't actually fixed the partition, I only hacked it to ignore the error. Long story.. long... I repacked it , reflahed and now I can mount it as rw.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabinhood:
Solution at last! Thanks!

Thanks man! You're great! You've found the exact cause of problems!

I didn't want to mess up with sbf's - I was too lazy to collect all necessary utilities. My way was a bit simplier, but even more dirty. :)

What I did was as follows:

1. Gained root access in terminal emulator (typed "su").

2. Raw copied /system partition to a file on SD card: "dd if=/dev/block/system of=/mnt/extsd/system-image".

3. Plugged tablet to my PC as USB storage drive, so I could edit system-image file with a hex editor.

4. Found the pattern You mentioned (53EF010002), and changed last digit to 1, then I saved the modified file.

5. Unplugged my tablet, and started terminal emulator again.

6. Copied back the modified /system image: "dd if=/mnt/extsd/system-image of=/dev/block/system".

7. Rebooted, and voila! I can mount /system in r-w mode!

The weak point is, that during raw copying, the /system partition should be umounted, to prevent other applications access, but unfortunately "umount /system" reported that the device is busy. So with a bit of bad luck the image could become corrupted if other apps tried to write something to /system during copy. But I don't think it is too risky, since in my case whole operation went well, with no problems.

To be honest, I tried to do it in a nicer way. Instead of changing 02 to 01 (and force system to ignore filesystem errors), I tried to repair /system image with "fsck.ext4 ./system-image -y". It found plenty of errors (thousands?), fixed them, but unfortunately after copying file back to /system, new errors appeared, and r-w mount was not possible.

I hope my instructions are quite simple, and will help somebody more.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabinhood:
Hello. The only thing you have to do is edit /etc/vold.fstab with some editor with root access (or you can copy the file to SD, edit it, and then copy over original file).

This file lists android mountpoints. Look for lines:

/mnt/extsd /dev/block/vold/179:1 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1023,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro

/mnt/sdcard /dev/block/vold/93:80 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro

and simply switch directory names extsdsdcard

/mnt/sdcard /dev/block/vold/179:1 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1023,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro

/mnt/extsd /dev/block/vold/93:80 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro

reboot, and your mountpoints will be switched.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabinhood:
You won't have to copy any system files to extsd (maybe besides vold.fstab just to edit it, if your text editor doesn't have root rights and cannot edit the file in place). Android doesn't require a working /mnt/sdcard or /mnt/extsd for operation.

With my way of bypassing /dev/block/system errors I copied whole partition to a file with dd command, but I'm not sure if you consider it "system files copying".

Yes, I think you could copy-paste the vold.fstab file I posted.

I got a copy of firmware for my tablet if sbf format somewhere from the internet, but it wasn't so obvious. I think it is a safety measure, since messing up with system files may brick your device, so you might have to reflash.

Considering rooting application for SG3, I don't owe that phone, but I rooted several KitKat devices with Kingo Root application on PC. Good luck!
