Softkeys wont respond. The lights stay on. - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK my epics softkeys stopped working out of no where. When I bring the phone out of sleep they turn on but stay on. Usually they will turn off if its not touched. They will not respond to touch at all. I have no clue what to do at all.
Yes I have odined back to stock 4 times now. Nothing.
I had this problem awhile back it fixed itself so odd how.
Does anyone know a way to fix this? Things I could try? I cant take it to sprint as I dont have service with them anymore lol..
Thanks everyone.
Btw Im on ICS beta0 stock kernal

So the problem still persisted after returning back to stock? Then you may want to bring it in for a service check.

[Cdma] [Verizon] [kernel] 2.3.4 gb kernel + cwm + ext4 auto convert + 3g UPDATE 9-4

Update 9-4
Added link to kernel source at bottom of post.
Got boot, got ext4 converting automatically, got stable. Also got a brick from being to tired and flashing via heimdall by putting something in the wrong input.
No way to test at this actual moment, this project bricked 2 tabs and im am down to last one, which i am using for cm7.
I am trying some extreme and radical stuff here, so bricking was expected. Those GSM owners have to many options, its high time we one-up them.
Power to the CDMA LOL. ha ha ha
No link except to source for right now, dont want anyone to hurt their tab. Ill get back to the kernel as soon as i am done tweaking the kernel for CM7

So, i'm gonna assume this hasn't been tested on a sprint tab yet? Might just flash it in the morning to see how things go...

As much as your hurtin man i would take it easy. V1 and v2 work great already. We can wait. However if your like me you gotta have something to take your mind off stuff. Great work! Very glad to see some verizon love for once. Froyo was getting old fast.

Flashed and went through the process of wiping cache, factory wipe and reset, and rebooted. Got as far as the verizon wireless screen and froze there. No animation ( after the first animation) or anything. Went back to the stock Gingerbread.
Flashed twice. Once just the kernel and then adding the kernel to the stock Gingerbread. No luck either time. I did have the cw recovery though......
Just because I can, I had to give this kernel a try on the Sprint Tab. It booted into CWM once, failed the ext4 conversion so I told it to reboot recovery. That's where it all went wrong, as the stock recovery took over. Back to stock now to do some other stuff, then back the V1 for Sprint.
Hey oldmacnut,
You say Dan bricked his tab? Mind if I take a look at it? I've been taking Android devices apart and putting them back together for a while now, I could probably fix it, and if I can, I can send it back.

I couldn't figure out to update with Odin... It's weird. It wouldn't start flashing, always failed. Updated with Heimdal (I got the extracted files from .tar files. Wound up slowing my processor down considerably. Flashed it back to VZW firmware. The processor is still slow and it heats up and at times does not respond. Think I might have to send it to Samsung to get it fixed and the modem. Trouble is, what will be a good accuse if I messed up the components inside it with Sprint firmware? Think I might say I left it in the car and it over heated and it wont work right now. Good Idea?

I am not sure if there is an actual release stock firmware for a SCH-I800 model of mine. I think I have random roto backups.... I have flashed it back stock many many times and once the modem files upload, nothing happens. Heimdall doesn't say Flashing Complete.
Guys, I'm finally home after 2 days of Dr appts out of town.
1. I'm drained
2. My right arm is so bad I can't move it
3. I have no internet at home now, and the tab is getting bad coverage.
My arm alone is enoughbto keep me off the computer, web access or not, its bad, it sucks. I'm going to reach out to a few people today, try to get some help with wrapping up what I have going right now.
If my arm keeps deteriorating the way it is, I will not be able to do anything on the computer, let alone hold my tab.
Those of you who know how to reach me via gtalk, do so today please.

Possibly Bricked?

Hey everyone,
I tried flashing a new rom from my phone earlier and I think it may not have flashed successfully. I hit reboot after it was finished installing but my screen remains blank and the blue led remains lit. I have tried battery pulling and using the button combos to go into either recovery or download mode but I haven't had any luck. When I use the buttons to go into recovery or download mode the led blinks for a second as though it is recognizing the command but the screen remains blank and the led stays solid blue. I have tried hooking the phone up to my computer and ODIN doesn't seem to recognize it either. Does anyone have any ideas or can anyone confirm if I am bricked? I would really appreciate some help. I have had this phone since the day it came out and have messed around with it quite a bit but I am out of ideas and have always been able to either boot into recovery or download mode Thanks in advance!
I would try a jig first. u can get one off ebay or make one. also if that doesn't work jtag maybe be your only option. hooe you can bring it to life man
What did you flash ? I was drunk as hell last night flashing a kernel in Odin in the phone section and wondering why it would never finish until I realized it was in phone not Pda .... I did it like 3 times before I finally fixed it got Cm7 back on it with no Baseband ... Funny now but odined a radio and all was fine.... The only thing that will usually F this phone up is flashing bootloader from int. Version that's a instant brick not fixable

I flashed the "tbm" FB17 rom which just came out today. I downloaded it directly to my phone so there is a possibility it could have been a bad download. Prior to that I was using Calkulin's stock FB17 deodexed rom which was released yesterday.
by chance did you use the touch recovery at all? lots of people have been bricking their devices lately using that.

MTD? Then you are screwed. You can't get back to stock without Odin or Heimdall. You need to repartition. BUT there is an MTD version of the FB15 leak which should look enough like stock to get you through:

That is the best you can do. You should also do the 2 flashable modems to get you to EL30 and delete Superuser before you bring it in.

Whatever stock-ish MTD rom you flash, make sure you flash data, (factory reset) if you're returning it, might as well.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
This thread scares the hell out of me. A bad USB port on your epic is a fatal blow to your potential sprint insurance coverage. I cant think of anything worse, especially if your on MTD. Although, if your paying for insurance, i dont think it should really matter what firmware/rom you have on your device.
To the OP, you should be fine. As long as you can make it look at stock as possible, the average sprint employee is not smart enough to get into specifics. They are usually pretty cool about it. As a matter of fact, the tech at my local sprint store put gingerbread on my phone a week before it was released using odin (this was before I knew anything about flashing or rooting), most of the tech's do exactly what we do, so dont sweat it too much.
let me know which rom you put on i'm pretty much in the same boat i need to take my phone in because i'm having hardware failure

The one I posted a few posts back (post 16) by Bbelos is the closest to complete stock for MTD. Just delete superuser when done. Then you are only left with CWM recovery as evidence.

Lock up and restart alot?

anyone else having this prob. sometimes i will use a app and the screen will go black and unresponsive i can still turn the screen on and off wit the power button but it eventually restarts however it does the startup animations but does not make the sounds. any fix?
some history:
tooks some time but decided to root, once rooted the factory os would not boot. so i did the restore to factory flash with counter reset uploaded by a fellow member of xda and then did the flash to root.
now i have this prob.
What Rom did you flash to? Stock or something else? Also, Root method? Odin CVM, Flash root zip? just trying to see if there's anything that sounds odd or off other then the issue you described. I rooted with CVM Flash (odin) and zip root method.. Flashed The People's rom, No resets here.

I have seen this a few times recently. I did not have that happen when I read on ICS. It only happened after I updated to lj7.

I have it don't fix it. It's some left over code if you flashed an LK8 rom and went back to an LJC. I have run throught every format option in TWRP and used Odin to flash a factory stock image. No one seems to know where it's coming from!

And this morning, I tried the following:
Installed TWRP with GooManage, restored a BU from my orig rooting using the toolkit, no luck, same two errors.
So then I OneClicked the Full Restore (SPH-L900_LJC_Stock_Restore.exe), and wtf, still there.
As I mentioned in my quote, it (the Note2) works, not broken, but I find the persistent error worrisome.
I am open to criticism, suggestions, whatever. What am I missing?
I feel exactly how you do. The phone works but the errors are bothering me.

I suppose that it's worth noting that I get no errors whatsoever on flashing, OneClicks, or Odins. Although, on stock recovery (I think?) I seem to remember seeing the Android on its back w/ a red triangle?
Confounded. :banghead:
Ive never had to do a logcat, but willing to do whatever it takes on the direction from a Dev or one of our esteemed Contributors, if it will help solve my (and obviously several others) issue.

I've try every method but no luck. What in the god's name went wrong.
Sprint is apparently replacing these for this error. If you go into the store and have them look at it. I've been told that Sprint is replacing these devices as there is no fix until the OTA is released. That's just what I heard.
I would definitely be back to stock before paying then a visit.

Thanks! not exactly the answer I was hoping for, but an option. I am at least able to get back to stock w/ 0 flash counter, so I feel safe that they can't tell me it's *wink* my fault *wink*.

Finally a light at the end of tunnel.
Has anyone tried odin back all the way to ALJ1. I know T3project had a link to one the repartitioned everything basically making it completely fresh. This is how he fixed his no connection to network problem.

Do you have the download link for the ALJ1? I'm gonna try that to see if it work.
I went back to lj1 and let it update to ljc. Errors stuck around. Only way I've avoid the errors is by leaving phone with lk8 which lucky for me works perfectly.
I did try the store replacement thing but they wanted to give me a refurbished phone as replacement. I am going to wait for an update and cross fingers it works without error.

I had to get a replacement but I received a brand new phone right out the box because the tech said they didnt have any refurbished ones at this point.
