[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You can restore your backed up EFS folder .

CWM backup restore does not include EFS .

You can flash lollipop .

You can flash a matching modem .

All these may restore IMEI or make the situation worse that is why a service repair is recommended .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nansus:
I'm sorry if i sounded rude towards to anybody, that is totally not what i'm trying to be. I know you guys are trying to help so i really don't see why i would be rude towards to anyone. I guess my english is still so bad that i'm sounding rude.

I think the best option now is to take the phone to a service repair. Especially if flashing anything can make the situation worse.

I thank everyone that has tried to help. It seems like that i have to accept the fact that i ****ed up my phone. At least this will serve as an example to anyone who's trying to flash custom roms and don't know what they are doing.

Oh, and the reason i have this phone because i'm a student i high school. I just started doing flashing and trying custom roms and i guess i thought it would be really simple. Clearly it wasn't.

I keep seeing people posting "bumper" cases, but it seems that they don't understand what a bumper Case is our the company they bought from doesn't.... rusher way I'm looking for an actual aluminum bumper for my s6. Bumper meaning no back what so ever. Only edge protection. Please post any and all bumpers you find aluminium or otherwise and I will start a list here in the OP.

Ps. I have the versus iron shield bumper and while it is very nice I would highly recommend it, it's bumper bit large for my taste. Looking for something slimmer.

Aluminium Bumpers:

Verus Iron Shield Aluminium Bumper

Baesus Aluminium Bumper S6

Other Bumpers:

Spigen Neo Hybrid Bumper - Polycarbonate

Assortment of Cases/Bumpers from Case Fanatic

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nflwideout86:
The only other place i can think of is casefanatic.com,

bumpers category: http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung/galaxy-s6/bumper-galaxy-s6/

but they ship most of em from china so unless you choose fast shipping then it'll take a couple weeks to get to you. But they have a large selection of cases for the s6 including about 3-5 bumper cases.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] DevonSloan:
I have a Verus Aluminum bumper. Spigen has an identical one, but with black rubber instead of clear. And there are plenty more out there.

I am, however, now looking for an all plastic/rubber case that isn't ugly as the aluminum completely kills signal. I lose about 40 dBm of signal (full 5 bars to 1bar/no signal) as soon as I put the aluminum bumper on.

My phone with Verus aluminum bumper:

Edit: Sorry, I missed your "P.S.", I read the top part and thought the rest was part of your sig. That said, anything "smaller/thinner" than something like the Verus won't protect the camera on the back. I'd personally rather have another mm of thickness and not be laying the phone down on the camera.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ipaq_101:
Any aluminum bumper will degrade signal and wifi,it happens on the spigens, obliqs, or just about any metal band. I had the spigen and noticed it.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Pure+:
Cool, I'll check it out. THanks :good:

Yeah I like the Verus and it's a great case. It's just so think... I love how they damn near perfectly mimicked the edges of the s6. I haven't had any issues with signal degradation though. Kind of odd that you are, the silicon buffer is supposed to make it so that doesn't happen. Very odd indeed.

Oh and I am going to edit the OP to ask for all bumper case suggestions so that those who aren't looking for an aluminum option have somewhere to look as well. :good:
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ashouhdy:
I ordered the backless spigen silver satin bumper case ، sooooo elegant
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] reverepats:
Yeah I did the same. Gonna get it tomorrow, so....

I had it for the S5 and love it
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Pure+:
I would've as well but it's not aluminium which for me personally is a must. Also I fear an aluminium version would suffer from the same size issue as the Verus.

If you both would post pics when you get them I'd like to compare it to the Verus for size. Obviously a picture isn't the best way to do it, but it's better than nothing.

Have you tried taking your Verus off? I can't get mine to come off. It's unbelievably tight.

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] neotekz:
i hate to admit it but you are absolutely right. I just got this bumber and love how sleek it is, i prefer it over my neo hydrid ex. But after seeing your comment and testing it out there's a huge difference in signal strength. With the metal bumber i get -113/114 dBm with 26 asu compared to the neo hybrid with -105dBm with 34 asu. i always thought it was just those cases with the metal backing that effected signal but just the bumper is enough to make a significant difference.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] DevonSloan:
I had a really hard time putting it on the first time, and then trying to take it off the first time, I thought it was now a permanent fixture. I was really afraid I was going to break the phone from the pressure. Once I finally got it off, I couldn't get the Iron Shield case on. (The bumper is printed "Iron Shield", but it's actually "Iron Bumper" - they just use the same bumper piece for both.) I've now taken each off a couple times, and the rubber is getting more flexible now.

But yes, it will come off with some SERIOUS effort - just be careful. I have no helpful tips other than "keep trying".
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] eep02b:
I have both the verus aluminum and the spider plastic bumpers. I like the spigen one, but honestly I didn't feel like it was very protective. It just felt flimsy. The verus felt better in the had, but made the phone too wide, and also the headphones jack was super slim. I ended up taking a drill and widening it so my headphones will fit.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Pure+:
I had to break the Verus bumper to get it off. I will be demanding a refund.

Sent from My Samsung Galaxy S6 "Pure" Black
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] eep02b:
I don't understand why everyone says the verus is hard to take off. It's tight, but not difficult. I usually start at the top and push the bumper back while moving the phone and rubber part forward.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] DevonSloan:
The first time I tried to take it off, it very much felt like the phone was going to break well before the case came off.

For those having issues, what finally became a good method for me was to use a thicker (terry cloth type) microfiber cloth to get a decent grip on the top/right corner, from the front pushing the corner off to the back, and just slowly, with steady/firm pressure, push the case back. Trying to quickly force it off did nothing, but a slow firm pressure did it. Then once that slid off, repeat at the top left corner, with will come more easily.

Another issue for me with the aluminum bumpers is that I dont want it to come free of the rubber and then scratch the glass (unlikely) or the phone's aluminum edge (far more likely).
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] asdfvtn:
I picked up a "Xuenair" branded silver aluminium bumper from eBay. It looks great, the buttons feel good, and the cutouts are perfect. Unfortunately though, it kills my GPS. Interesting enough, the cellular signal only degrades by 2-4 dbm at home.

I do use GPS quite often though.. so eBay refund process I go.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] DevonSloan:
Does that bumper have anything to keep the camera off of a table surface when setting it down? (I assume you got the thin bare metal one that latches on.)
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] asdfvtn:
I do indeed have the thin metal one with a latch on the bottom right corner. To answer your question though, no, my camera unfortunately still remains in contact with the surface when it's laying down. I'm not too concerned about it since I have a tiny PET film lens protector, but it definitely could scratch the paint still.

I accidentally flashed g925f cf-auto-root to my g920f. Oding let the file to flash successfully and now my phone's touch is reversed. Now if i swipe left-to-right the phone's screen swipes right-to-left. To click a botton on the right side of the screen i have to touch the left side of the screen. Even after flashing the right cf-auto-root file (cf-auto-root for sm-g920f) the problem could not be solved.

FIX:

Dial *#2663# in the dialer and update the thouch screen penal firmware by selecting 'TSP FW update (General)' button.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muray.mv:
That is clearly not a rom issue. Maybe flashing the wrong cf-auto-root had messed the touch driver which loads even before the kernel or system. I'll be greatly appreciated if somebody shed a light for this matter

Try an older firmware. Maybe Samsung have disabled the dialer codes on updated firmwares.

Edit: Try this app (link below). there is a menu for secret codes. Try to get into that code (2663) with root access.

Thanks for this fix.

I had the same issue. I followed the instructions above and it resolved the issue.

Note: At first I got a failed message(after 3 attempts). So for the heck of it I pressed

"Touch key FW update", then "TSP FW Update(internal storage)."

The last two commands executed successfully.

Then I pressed "TSP FW update (General)" one last time and that command

finally executed successfully.

For the love of god, help! Read this entire thread and it's the only one that seems CLOSE to mine. Wasn't sure whether to start a new one when this one is still fresh-ish.

I have a Sprint Galaxy S6 G920P v5.0.2 device. I didn't THINK I flashed anything incorrectly, but I ended up with reverse touch!

It was flashing TWRP's newest version that did it. I thought I chose the right everything. I don't know what people are talking about with this *#2663# stuff. When I type that into my dialer (you mean the phone, right?) the buttons available are click to call or... what? Where are people seeing this TSP something something?

Is this unique to the G925F? This is killing me! I had root but hadn't had recovery. I needed a flashed recovery to activate Xposed Framework so I could run a specific module. A few soft-bricks and recoveries later, now I have this. You guys are great at this. I hope someone knows!

Let me know if there is needed information that I left out.

Update: This issue was solved for me. TWRP still won't boot, but at least my touch issue is gone.

If you have 3.3, you need to download this.

Flash it via recovery and select Samsung Test applications. Wipe cache, reboot and try.
