In order to clarify once for all !!!

Problem:

is Fake IC Chip in the flat of the key button,

if is Original OEM original 0665, this problem cannot happen and if happen can be solved easy with Stock Fw, (But 99% non happen), or with some Tip.

If have this Fake Ic Chip 023A, of course that have this problem only if flash one Stock Fw more high or Not supported, (China Phone, itc...), and No there any way at the moment for FORCE Softwere of key, any developer has answered with solution at this time how for Nexus 6.

HW Solution:

Tested by me on 7/8 pieces of this. If are good desolder from one Broken Display this Ic Chip OEM original 0665, (ceck with lent first is write clear this sigle), and replace with you Fake Ic Chip, 023A, remount phone and 100% must be working right other time, if not work just Hard Reset and Flash last Stock Fw Original that had inside first of this issue, Solved!!!;)

Via Sw cannot Repair this Touck Key button, are two things different, i've cecked with advanced Tool, Ubuntu, itc... the "System" folder in all his partition, (only this folder is 2.54GB not MB), and have find one Corrupt all "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" this is the partition of Soft Key right?, ok but how repair this if no there's any Softwere for Force Flash soft key?....

So, for my side i've solved my 7/8 piece of I9500/9505 by Hw way...if there's anybody that have mode for Force Fake Ic Chip please post solution..

In this thread we have tested any solution first of all you just arrived...can be you are more ideas :good:

P.D. sorry my bad English
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnsp:
I foresee that thousands of S4 users who bought a screen replacement on eBay, Aliexpress, etc will end up with non working keys as soon as they update to the latest official firmwares. I'm sure most sellers are aware but they continue to sell them anyway. Most of them even swear that they are original parts. Shame on them...

I have exchanged the screen for a friend but before I have updated to the last firmware when it still had the old screen. Then I rooted the phone to make it "unofficial" so it does not receive more OTAs. The S4 will not receive Marshmallow anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafonehacker:
It DOES happen on the stock IC. I don't know the part number of my IC, but I know for sure I never ever replaced it. And it isn't easily fixed with a stock firmware, the problem is that it doesn't work with the new stock firmwares.

First of to talk please Read Carefully what i've writen Very Clear.

Non know What's Ic Chip or where's locate?, just to ask!!!

But not continue writing the same things for the 100° time, it's not help anybody :rolleyes:

Loock what Ic is fake or no and where's locate, just remove back cover and can read, (first photo Not OEM Original Ic Chip, second OEM Original Ic Chip):
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafonehacker:
But you are also writing this for the 100th time and it's wrong. And I don't have to check which chip is in there, it isn't a fake, it can't be. IF it is the chip you are calling 'fake' then it isn't fake since it is the one that came with the phone. I'm not going to open my phone to replace a fake that isn't a fake with an OEM while there is already an OEM in it. Samsung just needs to fix this...

Just opened it and it is a 065,so I'm not saying you're wrong about the 23a being fake or something, but the problem DOES happen on the stock, non fake one, so please stop saying it doesn't. And I haven't yet found an 'easy' software fix. I'm going to try the kies thing again, but I'm running out of options

If have Not fake Ic Chip, open you eyes and for I9505 problem is been solved via sw, just read any previous page.

P.D. Samsung Repair only in warranty phones so you lost you time if think that goes to Fix one Old S4...but if you want to try this attempt, (just done from more of one user), are Free of do.

Anyway, Repeat other time, No There's any Solution for FORCE Softwere of Touch key in S4 have explained in all mode but if you are more good of all that we have searched any type of solution and done all types of test goes, when has solved please if post you solution we are all greatfull to you...i've solved my 7/8 that had here at the end but if can be of utility for others users no problem.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafonehacker:
Thanks, I was able to fix it! :) The S6 port did it, the firmware 1c that got flashed because of that rom seems to be the solution!

So for other people with the problem on I9505's with original IC's (0065), here is what worked for me, step by step:

1: download and install this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-s6-port-1-0-t3092479

I used the 4.7 version specifically. This ROM will force a new firmware to be flashed to the IC, firmware 0x1c, which works with the newer updates (at least with OJ2 on mine)

2: after you installed this ROM, go to the *#2663# screen and check to make sure it says 0x1c on 'Part's Touch key FW version'.

3: flash your stock rom via Odin.

Now it should work

Again, thanks to [MENTION=5255031]andonsky[/MENTION] , without his info I wouldn't have been able to figure it out.

Any solution for i9500?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafonehacker:
You could try flashing some i9500 TW ROMs in the hope that one will have the 1c firmware inside. Try the s6 ports first...

What does your *#2663# say right now?

Verstuurd vanaf mijn A0001 met Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcel01:
Right now it says 0x09 for phone's touch key and 0x00 for parts touch

Yeah I will try the S6 ports this coming Saturday... any advise for a good S6 port ROM without using custom recovery?... I don't worry about the files or anything.

and if I google it I found out that this is a common problem with Samsung updates as far back as Galaxy S2 days.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
Sorry to bother. I had problems with the back button key in android Lollipop and I downgraded my GT-i9505 to android 4.4.2. When I press *#2663# appears that (pic attached). Your method seems promising. Will it work on my device too? Ty.

thx very much for this, but i am noob in this stuff and i have that problem with my S4, after I updated software soft keys stopped working, can someone please help me to better understand how to do these steps? i dont know how to do the first step actualy, how do i install this ROM on my phone? do i need to have some app? i tried to enter recovery boot and try to open that rom but it wouldnt work, pls help
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
I explain how I did it. Step by step:

1. Download and flash this ROM (via TWRP): HERE (follow the steps of the custom ROM thread to flash it correctly).

This ROM will force a new firmware to be flashed to the IC, firmware 0x1c, which works with the newer updates (at least with OJ2 on mine)

2. After you installed this ROM, go to the *#2663# screen and check to make sure it says 0x1c on 'Part's Touch key FW version'. Continue step 3.

3. Boot to recovery and choose (via TWRP): Wipe --> Advanced Wipe --> Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache. Then Swipe.

4. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash via ODIN normally the latest Lollipop to your device (OJ2 on mine)

5. Wait the booting. Done. Signal and soft keys working again.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aedan2:
I dont understand this first part, as I said I am noob, first I didnt find the right thread, and second my phone is not rooted, and when i go to google play and try to download TWRP app, it says thats for rooted phones, so i dont have custom ROM ono my S4, I have stock ROM ( i believe that is the right term)

So do I have to root phone first? and please can you put a link tu the right thread on forum, because there are so many and i really dont know how to find the ridht one

THX very much for helpnig! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. I updated my post.

2. Installation guide of TWRP.

* You only need be rooted if you install TWRP with the TWRP APP (best method if you are noob). Root your device and use that APP then.

* You don't need be rooted if you flash TWRP via ODIN like in the pic attached.

* Read more about before do anything pls.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aedan2:
ok, so your advice is that I should root phone, and then instal twrp via google play? i have to use odin to root also, right? wouldnt there be simpler if I just install twrp on my phone via odin?

and one more thing, if I am from croatia, is UK stock ROM compatible with my S4?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. It's simpler if you just flash TWRP via ODIN directly.

2. It's better create one new thread for this coz you can make confused the people of the forum. I will answer ya there.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafonehacker:
It's simpler to just flash twrp via Odin since you'll have to use Odin to reflash the stock ROM anyway. Look the instructions up on XDA and read a bit more about rooting etc. before starting. I'm also assuming your screen is not original since you've never rooted but still have the problem? I can't guarantee the method will work then, but it would be nice if you report back if it did so we know it works for non OEM screens too...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aedan2:
yes I changed my screen a few months ago after i droped my phone, anyway what choice do I have? I think I should try this method and I will definitely report back. Why should I read more about rooting if I am gonna install twrp via odin? I thought that if I go with that method the phone doesnt have to be rooted?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafonehacker:
It is kind of 'rooting'. Look up a bit about custom recovery and ROMs just so you know what you're doing and don't brick your phone. It's pretty easy though, install instructions for twrp can be found on their site or on XDA, and for the ROM on the ROM thread. Your stock ROM can be found on sammobile, but before doing anything check what build and CSC ( country code) you have by doing *#1234# in the dialer, so you know which one to download...

Hi,

Im curious to know what Stock Firmware people were flashing to fix this issue after installing Albe 4.7 ROM?

I tried the method yesterday but it didnt work for me. I flashed the STOCK 5.0.1 I9505XXUHOD7_I9505EVRHOD1_EVR Firmware (Latest EE for UK for me) but the Menu key still isnt working (well it does work when touched just doesnt light up, not that big a deal but just annoying to me)

I'm stuck with my replaced screen :(

None of firmware methods has succeed for me

CyanogenMod is a usable workaround (cause parameters/buttons can give onscreen buttons to remplace unfonctionnal soft keys, I'm in nightly CM13)

I didn't open my i9505 (I am afraid of failing and I dont really know where to look...)

I hope Cyanogen will take this problem in charge one day...

Anyone find a soft to check (because it's impossible on CM) and update/downgrade those soft keys firmware ?

I have the same problem after the Samsung update. Which firmware can I use with Odin to solve the problem? I also had my screen changed about a year ago. I miss my back button so much. Help!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
You have a solution on my post #150.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
I have this problem also. Replaced my cracked screen yesterday with a new frame + screen. It worked fine, but the phone wanted to update through OTA. I did that, and I lost the buttons after the update.

Then I did the procedure in your post #150.

Everything went as expected, and I checked Part's Touch key FW version: 01xc. It was. After the procedure of installing the S6 FW, I then installed OJ2-firmware = I9505XXUPOJ2_I9505NEEPOJ2_NEE.

It did not work.

When I check the firmware now I see this:

Phone's Touch key FW version :0x12

Part's Touch key FW version :0x1c

If I try the "Touch key FW update" button I get this:

IC's F/W is higher that BIn's F/W

I found my old cracked screen, and I connected it to the screen flex cable. Now the buttons on that screen light up fine, and they work. If I check the firmware on that it says:

Phone's Touch key FW version :0x12

Part's Touch key FW version :0x12

So what can I try now? Do I need an even newer firmware to flash with Odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanito:
Easy, in Old replaced Touch you had the Ic Chip in the flat Original OEM 0665 what not have in New Touch replaced.

So, seen that here goes Only for SW and , sorry but i've seen this, not understand nothing from HW side, No Must need of replace 60$ or more of Full Touck only for one small Ic Chip.

Now, if you not are able in this send in one good Hw technician, and just replace this very small Ic Chip OEM Original getting 0x12 and 0x12 and you have solved you problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
So what you are saying, is that there is no way to fix this by flashing any firmwares? The only way is to replace the ic-chip on the screen?

But the buttons were working yesterday, before the OTA. I did not make any note of which firmware I was on yesterday before the OTA though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanito:
Read carefully.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
That's what I did. And what you're saying is that I need to replace the ic-chip for my other screen. But what I asked is, is the no way to fix this by flashing any firmwares?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greee:
yes, i have a replaced screen as mentionned.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlonaP:
Post #150 doens't work for me

It took me hours to perform the steps in post #150 but sadly it didn't work. After step 7 my Phone didn't reboot anymore. I waited for 45 minutes and some Yellow Kernel message

So I miss my BACK button still! Help!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadajada:
I can also confirm that the procedure on post the #134 (S6-port) does not work with fake IC. I have replaced my screen and my IC is fake.

I gave up on this and used a heat gun to remove the glass of my new screen. I then replaced the flex cable from my old broken screen and reattached the glass again. I did not have any loca glue, but I I have ordered it so the repair will be complete.

I might be easier to solder the original IC from the old cable to the new one, but I do not have the soldering skills to do that.

Hey guys,

I'm having problems getting Barnacle working on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S5. I've just upgraded from a Galaxy S4. Now I had Barnacle tethering successfully on my rooted GS4 (on Android 4.4.2) with ad hoc mode and the app was granted superuser permissions because a pop up box used to say so after I pressed 'start'. I think it was given superuser permissions by a superuser app I downloaded at the time just before I tried the Barnacle app. Now I have the superuser app on my GS5 but it just says that the binary needs updating. I click 'update binary' and it just fails so I'm a bit stuck on what to do. Every time I press 'Start' on Barnacle, it comes up with 'Could not find wan interface'. Is anyone familiar with how to configure Barnacle on Android Lollipop 5.0? :confused:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RemixedCat:
thinking about getting one but I want to know the easiest way to flash one and the best custom rom for this

Note: I am literally saving up all my spare cash for this, as I have to buy up front and I can't have the luxury of a cheap contract phone. I don't make much and I can't brick this or it will be all my spare cash for the next 3 months.

I have only 300 and I can't just hop on over to a verizon store or whatever and get a new phone subbed. If I brick it I'm out a ton of money, as I also have a house to renovate and I need to ditch sprint/gnex so I can have somethin reliable and something I don't have to pull the battery out of every day.

I am not the best with flashing/roms/etc and I don't have too much patience and stuff often is messy around my place so...

I want something liek cm installer but a tad better updates and less of this stagefright nonsense paranoia. It's stupid of the CM team to neglect it over SF when you can simply enter dummy MMS data and do without picture messaging. I never use picture messaging and always disable it anyways so CM's stance on keeping it from everyone even those that don't use it is beyond stupid. Just change your APN settings for MMS to stuff that don't work and SF is bypassed I did that so ppl don't ask me as a female for nudes and can't spam me, still have data, still have sms txt, still can take calls... can't see why they are so hellbent on pleasing pic message users when stuff like skype and snapchat easily replace MMS and nobody uses MMS when you have apps for that. No sense. Only people with dumbphones use MMS. So the CM team is pretty naive for thinking that. MMS is so early 2000s anyways... why should people have to go to risky ways to custom rom thier phones for the whole 2% that still use antique MMS?

I just need something quick, clean, and provides me to use hotspot without paying 30+mo for. and to be able to block some apps from using GPS, etc and draining battery... that's it...
