Samsung Galaxy A6 touch screen not working after update - Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers

Hello, guys! After installing the latest update on my Galaxy A6 (A600FN) the touch screen stopped working. I tried flashing all 3 ROMs for my region that had the version 5 bootloader with Odin and none of them fixed the issue. One of them was Android 10 and 2 were Android 9. ROMs with an older version of the bootloader would fail the flash because apparently you can't downgrade it. It shows this error: Sw rev. Check fail. Device: 5, binary 3. I'm certain it's not a hardware issue because I had this happen on 2 A6 devices right after the update. I thought of trying a custom ROM but I can't find one for A6, only A6+. What can I do here? Can I trick it somehow to downgrade it? Is there some command I can send through adb shell to fix the touchscreen? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
BTW, I can access the device via a USB OTG mouse and it works perfectly fine.

Bump. Please, any help is appreciated!

Do you tried factory reset from recovery?

Is your phone carrier-branded? If yes, try to flash unbranded firmware.

I managed to fix it, will update this post soon with how I did it.

First make sure you aren't RMM locked: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
Then get yourself TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a6/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0-galaxy-a6-t3819741
Afterwards, I installed this custom ROM which is pretty close to stock Pie: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a6/development/rom-pa6-rom-a6-t3943573
Maybe you can try this one too, I haven't tried it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a6/development/phonezippy-microrom-t4083579
After installing the ROM, make sure to install "no-verity-opt-encrypt" and "RMM Bypass v3". This is VERY IMPORTANT, otherwise your device will become RMM locked and brick itself until you flash stock firmware again.
I fixed both of my phones but looks like I messed up on one and after I restarted it had RMM state Prenormal. Does anyone know how to fix this? OEM is unlocked in developer settings but flashing twrp from Odin yields "only official binaries are allowed"...

Stuck on honor logo

Ive had this problem for ages and tried everything i can think of. hopefully by now someone has experienced the same problem and solved it.
*My phone is stuck on honor boot logo
*i can access e-recovery
*i can access stock recovery
*i can access fastboot and device is recognised on my laptop
* i can wipe cache and factory reset successully and have done many times
*i can and have used the dload (3 button method) to flash stock rom successfully
Now the problem is that although i have flashed the earliest stock rom NEM-L51C432B102 it fails saying incorrect package!!!i think this is because my phone came with B103 or B104 and you can only flash from what your phone originally had and up.
I have flashed NEM-L51C432b120 and also NEM-L51C432b130 and although it says successful it reboots and remains stuck on honor boot logo!
I have entered fastboot and i can issue commands but they all fail saying REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED.
I can't use ADB because it doesn't recognise my device. Obviously ADB and FASTBOOT wont work because i can't access developper options and select enable USB debugging or OEM Unlock because the phone is stuck on honor boot logo.
Also my bootloader must be locked. I have the unlock code but i can't issue the command FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX because as mentioned before it says FAILED REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED.
I have even tried flashing rollback packages(there isnt one for NEM-L51)for other models, followed by flashing stock rom for my model device.
When i bought the phone it came with either the B103 or B104 package but after months of searching i can't find on the internet.
Is my phone a lost cause??? is it hard bricked? So i am praying that there is a guru out there who can solve this very strange problem.
Many thanks in advance.

Oh well. Seriously this is the same issue my frn asked me to help. This is soo serious that we can only unbrick through update.app or else service center. Since u said dload method works but stucks device on bootlogo. U need to visit service center if under Warranty

Flash these files and it should, most probably, be fine.
use dload method as given here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240
as there are many different opinions on this method of using only update.app file but thats not true and it should be all the files.
Main file - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1165/g104/v71812/f1/full/update.zip
Data file- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...1812/f1/full/hw/eu/update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
Flash both the files in order. 1st file will restore your system but then you need to have 2nd file so that apps are installed and all working fine.
After 1st file, it may reboot on its own and stuck on honor logo, reboot to recovery and then do factory reset, it will be fine.
Then let it boot to set up. Dont set your phone. Shutdown and flash the 2nd file.
boot and set up.
Good luck. Please provide feedback once done. In case of further issue, let me know and will dig more into this.

Unfortunately my warranty has expired. The annoying thing is that if i had sent my device off six months ago when this first happened it would still be under warranty but in the UK there is only 1 service center, yes 1, and its hundreds of miles away! So i figured i could solve it myself. You live and learn.
Hey there everyone. I still havent managed to solve the issue with my device and its not through lack of trying. I have re downloaded all of the stock firmwares that you can possibly find on the internet. I also found one ive necer seen before. Its a full service repair b355. Fingers crossed, a miracle might happen and it will just boot up like when i first bought it. to begin with tho, i'm going to start with b102 and work through them b120, b130 ,b130rollback ,b350(beta), b350, b355 and then the b355 full service repair! I also got a couple of rollback packages(around 80mb) if all else fails.
I know, i'm nuts!! Finally before i admit defeat i'm going to part with £15 to buy credits for the dc-unlocker and dcPhoenx programs. From what ive read it has a good chance of solving it. I've taken soooo long before considering this option because i think its wrong that someone(s) is making loads of money from this. Why havent huawei/honor included a similar program in hi-suite. Anyway ive gone off on a tangent.
One last question though. Strangely enough i only just thought of it recently....
Is it a necessity to have your sim card in the tray as well as the sd-card????? All this time i havent had a sim in the phone as its in a crappy old one so i can still communicate with the world!!!!
Thank you to everyone for taking your time to read this. I hope a solution is possible.

I've got a suggestion if you have tried all these above.
Can you try the following on ADB and then try to unlock OEM again.

@shashank1320 Hi, i have similar problem with my NEM-L21 device... I tried to flash the Elite ROM v5.1 but i didnt succeed so i decided to restore my old rom from backup with TWRP. When i restored it it just didnt load. It was stuck on honor logo for a long time. I tried the dload method many times but nothing worked so far. I even tried unbrick it with HUAWEI Multi-tool but it also didnt worked.
Now i cant acces anything, just fastboot. I cant even turn off the device. Please can you help me somehow?

Try unlocking the bootloader again even if it is unlocked. It will factory reset the device and it should boot fine. Have stuck on this many a time and this was the method i followed.

HI everyone I purchased a note 8 which was rooted using Magisk. i tried to unroot it but didnt know exactly the device model as it showed SM-N950F in the settings but when i opened it in Download mode, it showed me that device model is SM-N950N. I tried to flash stock firmware of SM-950F but it didn't work despite many efforts. Then I tried SM-950N Korean Sku version and it worked. My device was unrooted but its one IMEI is shown while other displays unknown. I can use only one sim, the other sim is not working. Any solution please.

Pixel 5 - Removal from Beta 13 - Corrupt Error

So.... I removed my Pixel 5 form the beta 13 program, selected update on the devices and had it download Android 12 a few weeks back. On reboot I get the "device is corrupt" error with visit the g.co/ABH link. If I hit the power button that error loops, and trying a hard / factory reset does nothing.
I tried several of the steps but since I cannot get into Dev mode to unlock the bootloader I'm kind of stuck.
The most I have been able to do is with the rescue tool, but that throws a "software on device is newer then this tool" error and wont go forward.
Any suggestions? Should I just send in to a repair shop? Or move on?
I heard from a friend yesterday that this happens with USB C to USB C. Try an A or B port and sideload the OTA

As recommended by @xunholyx try sideloading the OTA, if you're able to get into recovery.
If you didn't have OEM unlocking enabled in Developer Options, you might be SOL.

Yeah since the OEM unlock was not in place before the beta downgrade was triggered and failed, I can't get into the OS to turn it on. So SOL I bet

Unfortunate and I feel for you.
It's generally advisable to always unlock the bootloader when running any kind of beta software, just because of this eventuality - if something goes wrong, you need to have a way to recover the device.

You should be able to boot to recovery from the bootloader
I can boot to recovery, but the software wont sideload since the boot locker is locked.
My one hope is the fact Rescue mode on the web is throwing "software on the device older then this tool" so I am hoping once that gets a newer version I will be ok. So into the drawer it goes...
But you don't need an unlocked bootloader to sideload an OTA....

Redmi Note 9 - How do I restore my IMEI? I don't have a backup of my nvram/nvdata but I have the numbers.

How do I write IMEI along with baseband version back to my phone? I really don't want to risk bricking it again, that's enough stress for me in the past two days
I heard that I can only flash IMEI 2 back to it, and if I want flashing IMEI 1 as well I'd need to install a custom rom on the phone. So if that's a solution I'd love if someone could help me with it. MIUI 13 is slow and laggy af (which is the reason I bricked the phone in the first place, to install a better ROM).
But here's something, when I flash the phone's firmware through fastboot, issues start to rise (as per my experience with it so far), but through SP Flash Tool, it's alright. So I'd love to know if installing custom ROMs using the tool would be alright, if not then if recovery is required or if fastboot is fit for the job. If that's an issue I'd love if someone could give me advice when it comes to it.
Old post 1: (not my current situation)
"Long story short, I bricked the phone and after months, I've finally been able to repair it (downgraded from MIUI 13 to MIUI 11), but I lost my IMEI. I have the phone's two IMEI numbers, but I could not find any tool to help me write it to the phone. Either that, or I don't know whether the phone should be turned on or off, or if there's any special mode that's required for that matter.
Help would really be appreciated."
Old post 2:
"It happened after manually installing engineering ROM on it, now I can only doubt it's BROM mode that's working and nothing else, but I'm not sure. SP Flash Tool doesn't want to work with the phone since I want to flash the stock rom back. I really need help please."

The reason why my phone broke in the first place was due to flashing a misc.bin file after following a YouTube tutorial. It was part of a process to download twrp on the phone unofficially. Since then I started looking for ways to fix it until I finally found a post that had to do with fixing nvdata corruption (which was the error I had prior to fixing the phone) which helped.
So yeah, I don't think I can trust flashing ROMs on my phone as much as before, but I'll still try the engineering ROM thing.

Yep, it doesn't show up as it's name or "Android", it shows up as MediaTek USB Port (COM3), that's why I doubted it to be in BROM mode.

I always recommend a NV Backup before messing up with your own device, that's all I know.
Download the file attached here but remember you can fix only second IMEI using this method. Please don't try to fix both IMEI or NV Data will be corrupted again.

The guy in the video is using MIUI 12, I have MIUI 13. I don't know if that's an issue but someone in the comments said something about MIUI or so. I'm not a professional but many times when I see tutorials they're very specific with the MIUI version.
Also, I'm not sure how to back up nv data, do I use mtkclient or is it somewhere in the attachment you sent me?
And one more thing, my phone's baseband version is unknown, could that affect the process?

The phone keeps rebooting when connecting it to Maui META. Like it shows META MODE at the bottom of the screen but then it turns off. Now it's bootlooping. I guess I'll have to flash MIUI on it again. At least I still have access to fastboot and recovery.
Update: NV Data corrupted after flashing MIUI, but I got a solution that hopefully works.
Update 2: After flashing MIUI 11 (along with some other nvdata and nvram files, i think they're just empty), it works now and the error is gone. But as I said IMEI issue's still there. Maybe I would need engineering ROM for this one? Although it bricked my phone before.
Also, the phone started bootlooping before attempting the Maui META thing, so maybe it's either the manual formatting of partitions or the files I flashed on it.

Btw one more thing, I can update my phone right? Like, it won't break my phone? I'm good with MIUI 11 but I wonder if updating it would fix baseband version.

Question Rosemary device: Hard brick: need help | *fixed

Soo, long story short, i hard bricked this phone and i definitely need good advice. Please bear with me:
I got a Poco M5s,
I wanted to install official PE on it.
I successfully unlocked bootloader (mtk client method)
I ****ed up because i flashed the recovery, but it was for the wrong MIUI version (i had A13 - SFFEUXM and PE needs A12 - RKLMIXM)
Then i compounded my mistake because i booted to fastboot over linux and flashed A12 - RKLMIXM (flashall.sh). The phone never booted after that.
Now the phone is fully unresponsive: Black screen and power/volume buttons seem to do nothing.
I tried to use SP Flash to reflash A13 - SFFEUXM, but it failed and wanted me to remove battery and retry.
I tried to disassemble the phone, specifically removing/reattaching the battery plug: no change in response & SP flash did not seem to download anything
I also tried to see if mtk client can detect the device, but worryingly, it thinks it is a Helio G90 (MT6785) instead of G95, and then fails with "DAXFlash - [LIB]: Error on sending emi: unpack requires a buffer of 12 bytes"
I'm totally disappointed at this point. Is this salvageable? What can i do?

Thank you very much! I managed to restore it with this!
I also learned a bit about "EDL mode".
One more question: Can i actually rollback to MIUI 12.5? What did i do wrong before?

I have tried to rollback to 12.5 too. Got a bootloop. So I searched online about it and found out that you need to use the latest Mi Flash tool ( I used 2020 version ). Then I tried with the 2022 version but this time I was getting a timeout error. The flash was stopping at 700 seconds. Since I have a really old and slow PC, it takes about 1200 seconds to flash. After that I have given up.
Which version of Mi Flash tool did you try? Try with the latest version if you have a relatively fast PC.

I've tried various miflash versions (2017,2018,2020,2022). It always times out.
On linux, i managed to complete a flash using "flash_all.sh", but that's how i bricked it.
Hello, don't know if it is the good place for this but I have done the latest update (I have a Poco M5s with the version 13.0.10.0) and I just found the recovery flash for it (same version, Global.). I managed to unlock the phone after a few weeks of the phone being unrecognized by the pc, no matter how hard I tried to get the updated adb and android drivers. The latest Windows update included the Android drivers (which enabled me to unlock the bootloader).
I am planning to flash it using Magisk, any advice or things I should know?
