Hi,
buyed in november 2013 my unbranded 802 stubbornly refuses to find ota upgrades. So I was stuck to original JB fw. Tried the
LG tool upgrade procedure that in some way bricked the phone. Thanks to MK45A user thread I was able to give life to the phone. Obviously I am terrified to only think to try the cable procedure again. And Obviously with the sept 2013 fw reinstalled the phone says again the system is up to date.
Help..!
Hello.
Your phone can't find updates because you've most likely installed a firmware that isn't linked with your IMEI.
To find out which software that's the latest for your phone go to this link:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
Remember to add the IMEI of your phone after the = in the end
Then download the kdz for your device and flash the kdz. I know you might be scared of using the cable method but if you make sure that everything is plugged in correctly and that the cable is of good quality then you should be safe.
Thanks, I will try in the future.Anyway I am quite puzzled by the fact that original fw don't Find upgrades too. Surely that was the right firmware for the IMEI, I presume
Thanks again!
Made, all fine , except knock on not working if knock code enabled. But That's a minor flaw, I am very satisfied.
Grazie mille !

In the dialer, 3845#*802#.
Then press Settings, and Update Touch Firmware.
Tried the hidden menu solution but this time not solved (first time I used worked when I had to reflash original firmware after soft brick, and showing same problem on knock on) . Anyway knock code not working is not a great problem. Knock on working is important. Thanks again!
I'm a sucker. Simply I have not understood that knock on functions has to be used with screen off. I tried first to turn on scree with a "random" tapping, waiting after to use knock code...

Knock On doesn't work if you have enabled Knock code. You just tap knock code directly on the black screen.
I have strange touchscreen problem on my sm-n910f. After I flashed custom recovery and one of the custom roms my touchscreen stopped working properly, even if I revert to stock. It looks like touch surface became smaller, right and bottom part of the screen doesn't work any more. Phone seems to use smaller surface for touch, so to press very bottom icon I need to press 1-2cm above it. It behaves the same in any rom and any recovery. See photos, I activated show touches in dev options. I try to look if anyone had the same problem, but I couldn't find anything. Any ideas?
I forgot to add that spen works perfectly fine.
Well I know what I did wrong so just in case someone else has the same problem: I flashed wrong recovery, one for n915f (no idea how I managed to get that file instead of proper one). Funny enough reflashing good one or flashing stock rom doesn't solve my problem. Over the weekend I will go to Samsung shop, hope they can help me.
Ouch maybe they can.. id say touchscreen driver may be corrupt or something. Id try a 3 part odin flash if i were you

I tried to flash original firmware and two custom roms, no change unfortunately. I also believe it is not hardware fault, but I have no idea how to fix it.
I love Samsung warranty policy in the UK, 28 days from purchase date they replace faulty device without asking for a reason, so I got mine replaced. Pure luck.
I still believe it would be know if what I have done is reversible. I understand why flashing wrong recovery is messing with graphic driver, but I would like to know why flashing proper one doesn't solve it.
I would appreciate if someone could share some light on that matter.

Probably has to do something with partition size. When you flashed the wrong recovery, a repartition was done and it messed up your device. Flashing the right one in a messed up partition did not solve the problem. Perhaps if you had tried to flash the appropriate PIT File for your device, the problem would have been solved. But, in the future, the safest option is to be extra careful about which files you flash. Glad you got it sorted out!

I tried PIT file too, no go As I said my problem is sorted, but fact that I do not know if it could have been resolved without replacement bothers me a little bit

If the PIT file didn't work, then it seems that the replacement was the only way to go.

I got my touch screen calibration fixed 
Anybody having similar problems do the following:
dial *#2663# and update the touch FW by pressing "TSP FW update (General)
Not my idea, copied from cm12 thread.
As I mentioned I got my replaced. I didn't test solution above and it is not my idea. Try it at your own risk.
solved... I have fixed the problem

hi, I have an i9505 which I recently restored to stock (I previously had cm12.1). I flashed germany 4.4.2 kitkat and it worked fine.
I did all the updates using OTA, which at the end updates the phone to 5.0.1. Now I have the latest version (XXUHOH2), but I noticed that the back button doesn't work anymore, it doesn't even light up when I press it. The menu button works fine instead. I factory restored the phone through official recovery but it didn't change anything. Is it possible that the back button suddenly stopped working after I updated to the latest version because of an hardware failure, or is it a software problem? The phone hasn't dropped off the table once, and even with the first lollipop update the button worked.
i solved this issue by installing another firmware (XYHOE1)... it seems that my phone doesn't like the german one
Hi. I am having the same issue. I got the OTA update today and 5.0.1 was successfully installed on my phone. However, after the reboot, the back button stopped working and wont even light up. Is there any workaround aside from installing that firmware that you mentioned?
Will surely appreciate your response.
I haven't found a workaround, i tried both normal and black edition OH2 but the issue remains the same... however I flashed a custom firmware (and thus keeping OH2 bootloader and modems) and it works perfectly... so I think it's a bug found in OH2 firmwares which happens in some phones... flashing previous version of any firmware should fix the issue.

Can you give us a link for that firmware? I can't find that firmware anywhere. Thanks!
The latest firmware official for Gt-i9505 Germany (DBT) is this ONE.

Please help me. I'm experiencing the same issue. I updated my phone to OH2 and after it finished updating, my back and menu button stopped functioning. Then received another update (OJ2) via Kies3, hoping that it will solve the issue I encountered in OH2 but nothing has changed. And now I downgraded my phone to a previous version of Lollipop (OC6) and it still not working.
Before updating my phone, I know and I'm sure my back and menu buttons are working fine that moment and like you, I haven't dropped my phone since I bought it so I'm sure this isn't a hardware problem. :crying::crying: Please help me. A big THANKS! :good:

Same problem for me. i tried even a Pit reflesh and dowgrade.
Same thing happened to me. I did the upgrade today, 24th Nov 2015, to Android 5.0.1 - Baseband versionXXUHOJ2 and my menu and back keys are gone. Very infuriating! Will Samsung fix this, or do I have to spend hours of my own time?
I have found a workaround, not ideal but helps short term. Go to Settings > My Device >Accessibility >Dexterity and interaction. Then switch on the Assistant menu. That gives you a little pop up square - available all the time - with 12 buttons including BACK and MENU.
I'm having the same issue. I came back to Kit kat coz I'm tired of Lollipop :silly:
same prb with me...i just updated my s4 to 5.0.1 everything is working fine but the back n menu keys are not working plz give me a solution to this problem
same problem

Any updates or solutions as yet please?
I had a perfectly working Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505), then after a recent update was pushed out, the softkeys now do not function. Soooo frustrating...... my confidence in Samsungs' Updates are now dented, I shall seriously think twice about allowing any updates through.
A friend has an S4 (i9505) from Vodafone Spain (ATL), unlocked and using another operator microSIM (Jazztel). Last week, via OTA, she received the latest update available: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/59777/I9505XXUHOJ4_I9505VFRHOF3_ATL/
After installing that OTA update, the signal level is very low, even none inside buildings, etc. This was not happening before.
In addition, the 2 soft keys (on both sides of the Home button) are not responding anymore, not even lighting up.
The Home button works, so... I think that it's not a hardware problem. Too much coincidence that the update and that hypothetical hardware problem happened at the same time...
First I did was a total hard reset, to factory settings, etc. No success, both problems (signal and soft keys) were still there.
Second, I flashed ROM manually via Odin. I flashed latest PHE one, so no Vodafone bloatware anymore: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/59311/I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505YXXHOJ1_PHE/
No success, still the same. I then did again a hard reset to factory setting, with Wipes first... and nothing.
Next thing I will do (when i have the phone in my hands again) is flashing with Odin the previous PHE one, and crossing fingers: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/48153/I9505XXUHOE3_I9505PHEHOE1_PHE/
Anyone with the same problem? Any solution/suggestion?
Flashed next-to-last Stock ROM for PHE http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/48153/I9505XXUHOE3_I9505PHEHOE1_PHE/ and no success
Then I flashed Base HOH2 (4files+PIT) with Odin and... nothing either.
No idea what to try next. Suggestions?
Same here, after OTA no menu/back buttons (neither backlight or functionality)
Current status:
- seems to affect quite a lot of people, there are more threads like this on various sites
*e.g. here, here, here
- happenning after both OTA or ODIN based update to latest 5.0.1 ROM (for me it was i9505XXUHOJ2)
My findings so far:
- NO rom change seems to fix this
- it seems that touch keys' FW is updated (physically on the chip) along with the update (to version 0x12)
- Touch key FW update in menu *#2663# not applicable as it says that it won't update - versions are the same (you can check the version of driver used by ROM and the actual FW in chip on this page)
NOTE. my girlfriend has the buttons working after successful update and has both in version 0x12
Conclusion:
- It seems that the FW flashing process of the touch keys controllers somehow failed => phone says that it's also ver. 0x12 (same as android driver) but it is probably corrupted
- Re-flashing of the chip could solve the problems, however there are problems with this:
NOTES.
Menu *#2663# won't let us do the flash because of the version check - Can we use ADB to force the update on a rooted phone? Does anybody know how?
There is a slight chance, that it'll be fixed if Samsung will release some newer update which updates also the keys' FW
Samsung could release a fix, that will flash this manually as a lot of people have problem with this
!EDIT:
I've found very similar problem + solution on the Vietnamese forum bellow (don't use the files as it's for different phone!):
- to sum it up - force downgrading the FW, the update again... (any ROM cook that could help?)
see here
regards,
J.
I completely agree with you. I also tried the *#2663# path, the phone also has 0x12 touch keys FW, and it doesn't let me reflash it, either. Don't know what FW was there before the OTA update.
I have been told about the first German 5.0.1 stock ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/44821/I9505XXUHOB7_I9505OXAHOB7_DBT/ and also about the last 4.4.2 one: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/40046/I9505XXUGNK4_I9505OXAGNK4_DBT/
Maybe one of those... makes something again on the Touch Keys FW?
I couldn't try anymore bcs I gave the phone back to my friend (with accesibility touch keys on-screen)
HI, have you found a solution? My Italian S4 suffered the same bug after the same upgrade. I tried to contact samsung and they said I need to replace the screen because upgrading the firmware put the electronic under stress and they got broken. I don't believe them because too many people have the same problem + my screen is two days old! Please help me!
Same problem for my S4! how we can flash/reflash/downgrade soft touch fw?
Has anyone tried the first first German 5.0.1 stock ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/d...05OXAHOB7_DBT/ or the last 4.4.2 one: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/d...05OXAGNK4_DBT/ ?
A friend of mine (another one) told me that he fixed it with German HOA7 one, and then updated again to latest with no problem: https://mega.nz/#!VwcgXSQC!uGAhPxEuRrl-luS3sw8JmoPnjP4ybxrlsY4XcfFaWKE
I can't try it myself bcs I gave back the S4 to the owner. If anyone tries, please leave here the results!

I've tried a lot of ROMs - 4.4.2, also older 5.0.1 with no result...
I haven't tried UHOA7 I've tried UHOB7 instead, so I'll probably give it the shot, but I can't imagine how it could fix this issue (maybe if it for some reason has the touch-cypress FW update forced...)
- I've seen that on some German forums reverting back helped, but it wasn't my case (+it didn't fix the problem for many others...)
As I've wrote before, they've created modified kernel (with forced touch key FW reflash - bypassed version check) for a little bit different phone on the Vietnamese forum (see the link in my previous post) and it seems that it would be quite easy for somebody who has some knowledge with kernel compilation... (it would just need small modification in the "if" condition of 1 kernel source file) I've tried to do some research, but it takes some time to understand the process of building the kernel and to figure out how to properly pack it again... Also the sources are a little bit different for i9505.

No idea, another friend of mine (different than the one who gave me her "broken" i9505 for fixing), who had the same problem with his own i9505 told me that with the I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 he fixed it. And sent me the Mega link, as it's not on SamMobile (or I didn't find it): https://mega.nz/#!VwcgXSQC!uGAhPxEuRrl-luS3sw8JmoPnjP4ybxrlsY4XcfFaWKE
I couldn't try it by myself, because I gave back the "broken" i9505 I was trying to fix to her owner before I was told about HOA7.
U know a lot more about this than me. Maybe you can give a try to that HOA7 Mega link, and see if it really works, or if my friend was extremely extremely lucky, and still doesn't know it (and ofc, doesn't know what the hell fixed his phone, and how).
Anyway, if u decide to give a try to the I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 one, don't forget to come back to tell us if it worked or... nothing. I keep fingers crossed!!!
Oh, and ofc: THANK YOU!!!

I got the problem but only the back button was not working. Did factory reset and it did not help.
Then i flashed I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 from your link with Odin 3.10 and YES!!! i can confirm it is working again So happy now.
It is my Moms Phone now and she loves it!!. I was unly helping her doing the OTA so she realy hated me and SAM for F****** up her phone.
This tread realy saved my ass
Can confirm this is happening to me as well. All firmwares starting from HOF2 seem to have this problem so if you encounter this, downgrading to a HOE/HOD firmware should correct this bug. The downside is that without a proper fix, you won't be able to update.

@kosmodisk, did u read that? have u tried I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 by urself? Ur conclusions?
@BUBA0071:
- Did u look before (and after) flashing HOA7 which FW had (and have now) the touch keys? Remember: *#2663#
- After flashing HOA7, did u update again to latest one? Did the update work well this time, and now u have latest version with touch leys working?

HOE3 works for me. Problems start from HOF onwards.
I have also tried flashing HOA7 DBT and upgrading. Problem persists. My touchkey firmware is 0x1a and won't update no matter what Firmware package I tried. Up to now i have tried: GNG2, GNI2, GNK4, HOA7, HOB7, HOD7.
I'm pretty sure a rom (custom or early kitkat/lollipop leaks) caused this, altough I never flashed the initial chinese leak.

The phone that that girl gave to me, for fixing... was completely in official status. Always official ROMs, and official OTA updates, from first minute. And the problem was caused by latest official OTA update available: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/59777/I9505XXUHOJ4_I9505VFRHOF3_ATL/
So the problem was not caused by any custom ROM or a not official one.

@kosmodisk, did u read that? have u tried I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 by urself? Ur conclusions?
@BUBA0071:
- Did u look before (and after) flashing HOA7 which FW had (and have now) the touch keys? Remember: *#2663#
- After flashing HOA7, did u update again to latest one? Did the update work well this time, and now u have latest version with touch leys working?
I tried with a HOE1 one and... didn't work. Couldn't try one even older, but HOE1 seems to keep the same problem.

Hardware key firmware 0X12 parth 0X1a (when it was not working, dont know if it have changed after german firmware flash). I have not updated again, think my CSC is blocking. It stayed on NEE after update to German firmware.
It was NEE I9505XXUPOJ2 firmware that F***** up my Phone

unfortunately I've tried I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 with no luck (even with repartition when flashing) - the buttons still don't respond
BUBA0071, I'd like to ask which custom ROM have you tried? It seems that your keys have FW of version 0x1a which should be newer than 0x12, so this could lead to some sollution. Was it some cyanogen mod or MIUI?
thx

Wups it have been some time since it was custum, but in any cace it must have been some of the first lollipop roms. I gave to my mom 13 feb 2015 and i did a lot of flashing before that, i think one of the roms i tryed was Project Chaos. but also i tryed all the google editition roms for i9505 and cyanogen.
but when it whent back to stock it i used PDA I9505XXUHOD7 CSC I9505NEEHOD2 NEE firmware
I've got a question. When you flash the HOA7 file from the Mega link, do you use only the AP file, or you use AP,BL,CP, CSC and PIT files?
I'm gonna try to fix my S4 but i'm not sure about the right process I should follow.
Thank you!
My galaxy s4 i9500 had kitkat installed and it was updated to lollipop last year. Thereafter in september while installing ota update phone restarted and suddenly back and menu key were gone blank.
Trued every possible trouble shoot available on xda and other sites to no avail.
1. Installed Stock kitkat again.
2. Installed other lollipop firmwares.
3. Installed cyanogenmod 12.1
4. Wiped phone many times using twrp.
5. Change of strip cable also did not work.
6. *#2663# menu shows blank in place of touch key firmware version/update.
Please if somebody could only figure out what has actually turned the phone like this..even if this is not solvable..at least i should know what went wrong..
Thanks.
There is a similar problem with the GT-I9505 models too.
It's probably related to a faulty update or something.
I don't know if there is anything you can do without professional help.
What you have to do is: you have to force the touch key firmware to update somehow.

There was a thread around here that might have some things you could try. I can't find it, but you can do a forum search.
It was for the GT-I9505, but some of it can probably be applied to yours.
Otherwise you might need the help of a professional since they have the necessary tools.

I have gone through that thread it is about incompatible Touch Key and Part Key Firmware Version. I have already tried those fixes but no success. Even in that thread issue is not solved yet.
In my case that dialog box for touch key and parts key firmware update doesnot appear in *#2663#. :crying:
