I had installed 4.2.2 (after replacing the phone displays).
After the OTA update to to 4.4.2 does not work touch and context (bottom) button.
Is it possible to downgrade back to 4.2.2. or not - KNOX bootloader?
If your softkeys are not working properly go to your phone dialer and use this code *#0*# to run some test (touch,TSP hovering,sub keys) after this your softkeys should work but you will have to run these test every time you turn on your phone or after a reboot.
I got the same probleme.Any fix....
Please we need help
You can only control your phone through OTG mouse. ONLY the power, volume and home buttons working.
I tried to reflash and ten, the result is still the same.
In my opinion, is a bug in the ROM.
Temporarily I uploaded a CWM + this ROM - Dirty Unicorns - v7.8 : 20140702.
With this all works as it should, but I do not see this as a final solution.

I've same problem guys,
I decide to downgrade to 4.2.2 or 4.2.1
hope to work. but if u find any solution please share...
I have learned that with the att mega if you have had a replacement screen 4.4.2 will not boot properly. If you replace the lcd with the oem at&t brand digitizer specific lyrics for the i527. It will work but it must be i527 lcd digitizer. I read this in a repair forum. If I can find it again I will post the link. As of right now I am currently booting up with original att lcd and swapping the lcd cable after the boot. Its the only way i can get the phone to not bootloop, and get touch on 4.4.2. It was running 4.2.2 fine. As soon as i did the update. It started. I sure hope someone knows of a way to get the replacement digitizers to work on the i527. Hope this info helps.

You had 10 touch firmware installed on cm10? You should revert to 2 touch before returning to stock.

And the solution is to go back to CM10 and reflash original touch firmware, and then go back to stock.

Do any of the Nook kernels support USB to OTG? If so I can try a USB mouse to manipulate the screen

I hate to sound slow but I guess I cant help it... So I tap that touch app and initiate it, is there anything that I need to know about how the touch firmware flasher works? IS it a toggle? Are there check boxes I have to tick? Sorry, But I kind of want to know what to expect... I have been going crazy to get to this point! Thanks again!
There are boxes to click to start the process. So it's not started automatically when you click the app, if that's what you're worried about.

Well I am worried about clicking the wrong boxes and such... Is it self explanatory, is it intuitive? I lost the touch capability on the stock Nook and have been trying to get it back for about 6 months, forgive me if I am a little "gun shy". I just want to get it right and be done with it! Thanks!
:fingers-crossed:
Re: [Q] [Solved] Touch screen not working for stock 1.4.2 report image?
Depending on what build you have the firmware flasher might look a little different. All in all they all do the same. On the build I have there is only one button to push which will either flash stock (2 touch) or 10 touch.
For the touch screen to work on a stock Barns and Noble Tablet you need to flash it to stock (2 touch). If you already wiped to factory reset you'll have to re install CM 10. Then use the firmware flasher to return to stock. (There may be a simpler way but that is what came to my mind first.)
If you have any further problems send me a message or email me at [email protected]

Why buy a **** touchscreen ? -.-
??Thank Me Up If I Helped You ??
also dont know if the previous owner had rooted,he said it was only 3mnths old
If you updated to the official kk which would be NE5 and this would be the most likely cause of the touchscreen not responding as phones with still the original screens has not responded after the NE5 update on other i527m mega..so your screen is not at fault.
Samsung should have tested the new kk update better before releasing the update.

Try flashing this rom from my post here and see if it will help you out and you must unpack it first and then flash with odin..and i believe this rom was made with the rogers rom, but if you did receive the new KK NE5 update then this will not likely work, but it will not harm the phone..worth a try as i use this rom in certain situations also to get back and it works great.

couldnt go to your link,browser said forbidden?
can I root this?or custom rom?any way to be useable again?thanks(also I am new to all of this so a guide would be good)
found this?
If the downgrade was from the leaked 4.4.2,then this is probably because this repackaged and leaked firmware did not have a locked bootloader.
The officially released India 4.4.2 may cause more problems with downgrading - but we will have to wait and see if it contains a locked bootloader.
I didn't downgrade from leaked 4.4.2... My downgrade from official 4.4.2 DBT was also successfully in spite of new BL. I mean, didn't change BL with downgrade, just the firmware via Odin. And luckily the new BL from 4.4.2 works fine with firmware 4.1.2... that's what I wanted to inform about, because many think that it will not work, but it does! (At least in 3 oder 4 cases with german firmware.)
There is always a risk, yes, but maybe, somebody doesn't like 4.4.2 just as me and needs an idea to go back without root, so that's the answer I want to give.

And check my post here as it will help you in the flashing using odin and all .tar files are flashed this way, the only difference when flashing a recovery is you uncheck the reboot box and with other .tar files for roms etc. you check that reboot box, but everytime odin is restarted the reboot box will be checked already..let me know how this all goes with that rom above that i put a link to and the other stuff as all the custom roms in this mega section by @Silesh.Nair can be flashed and these are all the custom roms i tested so far that work on the i527m mega, but they all work even the newer ones and the custom roms i tried can be seen in this thread

Are you sure you are flashing the correct Official Firmware? I show many but you stated Russian above so I show two for your phone on KitKat. Also, if you were not made aware or didn't read up on the forums, once you upgrade to the "NE4 Bootloader" (Or KITKAT) and above you can not revert back to the previous ( JellyBean ) "Bootloaders". If you manage to flash back to them you will more than likely brick your phone.
Flashing a Custom Rom via Custom Recovery being from NF2, NE4, NA2, and MJ2 Roms for your Mega is still okay. Just remember not to Flash/Odin the Official Firmware from prior NE4 as the Firmwares include the Bootloader in them that one can not downgrade to.
All except for one of these Official Firmware is Flashable via Kies as well:
GT-I9200 Ukraine (Kyivstar)......2014 June ........4.4.2 ........I9200XXUDNF1 ........I9200OXEDNF1
GT-I9200 Kazakhstan...............2014 June ........4.4.2 ........I9200XXUDNF1 ........I9200OXEDNF1

GT-I9200 Russia .....................2014 May .........4.4.2 ........I9200XXUDNE4 ........I9200SERDNE4
I know it has been mentioned / suggested before in other sections of the forum but updating your profile to reflect at least the Country and a Carrier for your phone would be helpful to provide some assistance.

its the same issue regarding the screen, im not gonna get upset with u lol
but ive followed all the instructions correctly, and yes ive flashed clean.
im on philz cwm recovery as it is.
i would erase my data b4 installing the kitkat stock update.
used odin3 3.09 & 3.04
the firmware flashes fine.
it boots up like its supposed to, but the screen is just unresponsive .
ive done factory resets from stock recovery
ive even left it on over night to see if maybe something didnt load. but nothing works maybe its a driver issue?

This is more than likely going to sound like a stupid noob answer.
Did you buy your phone new or used?
I noticed when I was looking at buying a Mega with a broken screen, if you use a cheap replacement screen, you need to plug in the factory screen and boot and then plug in the aftermarket screen. I wonder if maybe you got it used and it was repaired and the stock OS is seeing as not being an OEM screen? Maybe Custom ROMs don't check these things?

I Bought it New from NewEgg.com but the screen did break b4, and i bought a replacement 70$ screen and fixed it myself, idk if thats cheap but thats how much they typically cost on amazon.com . all custom roms work, and the 4.2.2 jelly bean official software works fine.
you maybe right about the OEM screen

ohhh no no no lol ive been saying all along that im already on JB 4.2.2 official stock.
im still on the kitkat boot loader though.
You should be fine running JB on kitkat bootloader as long as you do not try and Odin a firmware with the JB bootloader and try to go back to the 4.2.2 bootloader. It will not let you go back to it. Flashing ROM's for your phone is all good as long as you do not touch the bootloader.
But if you really want to have KitKat then you need to try and reflash one of the KitKat official Firmwares I had mentioned above for your phone. You can only flash Firmwares via Odin from KitKat and above now because of the KitKat Bootloader.
Hey guys so basically the thread title says it all. I need a few testers who have the Canadian variant sgh-i527m who can test a rom base for me. What I need is confirmation that everything works on the base ie Bluetooth, data, WiFi, NFC,etc. Once deemed a stable base I can work on making the magic happen of adding cool features.
Of course the standard risks apply: you are responsible for anything you flash or that happens as a result. As always please make a nandroid backup before flashing and ensure you are using the latest, stable recovery
At this point the ROM is rooted, deodexed, zipaligned all apks and Knox free

Hello,
I'm testing it on a i9205....
I installed it over a 4.2.2 bootloader as I never installed KK. So it looks like KK is installing over 4.2.2 Mega fire bootloader
.
I'm finishing up to setup all my account and let you know. So far its working well, the first run Wizard even detect my country "France", it did not before in 4.2.
I ll keep you posted but so far looking good.
Thanks
see screenshot attached
Just a small adjustement, on the i9205 the wifi is not turning on... I dont know why, a driver issue maybe. I will try replace wifi firmware and modules if I can.
Also when I go to ->Setting->security it says setting has stopped. then the phone is rebooting

OK thanks for the feedback. If you're still on the ROM can you run a lotcat and try wifi and also go back to settings security. And then send me the logcat. If you send me it with those issues recreated I should be able to see what the problem is

Sorry I cant, I had to go back to Mega Fire rom as I had no Wifi and cannot install Titanium to restore everything (As I cannot access security options) I had to revert to 4.2.2.
I also tried to modified your zip with a i9205 boot.img and all the System files into your zip from another 4.4.2 i9205, and I had the same issue. I'm starting to wonder if I dont have a radio issue compatibilty or my bootloader 4.2 is messing with some feature (like android finding knox is not on the bootloader). If you have any idea, I dont mind trying again but so far I would like to preserve my bootloader as my phone still under warranty.

At this point my best guess is boot loader but who knows. Hopefully I can get more user feedback and i257m feedback most importantly. Thanks for your time

I ve tried another rom 4.4.2 as a zip file and same issues. I revert it back to MF V11X and it works as normal.
I'm wondering if those issues are related to the bootloader (like for Param-Security) phone is looking for knox info and cannot find them.
reply:
Anyway for now my bootloader still in 4.2
I never checked wifi (I barely use wifi as is) System settings kept force closing on me and the ROM overall was a bit laggy (compared to MegaFire - probably not a fair comparison though - lol). My phone did keep rebooting every time I went into certain system settings to make changes (I don't remember which ones at this point). To be honest, I was just trying to see if I could flash it onto my phone. I had no intent to fully test the ROM for stability. Mega's ROMs are rock steady stable so I was just trying that 4.4.2 ROM while waiting for Mega to finish and post MegaKat.

Hi,
I just test the megakat rom from megafire, with the newbootloader and its all working. I can confirm wifi and setting issue were due to the bootloader
You should take a look at megakat op and rom, u will work with a almost bug free rom

i527 boot loader is locked. Just because you put an M at the end doesn't automatically make it unlocked....pssh noobs. ?
edit>>> @scoobthegambler, you are right, I made a mistake, my apologies
@pierrottls31 it's very poor etiquette to post another devs rom in someone else's rom thread. Please help to keep development threads eleventh to the threads they pertain to
Thanks in advance
@GT247 I never posted or mention another developer's rom I merely stated that the i527 had a locked bootloader and the op restated that he was talking about i527m

No it doesnt, but the M does have a recovery and is able to flash any of Sileshnair's roms.
It is not an ATT device.
GT......what are you doing here?

So if I put an M at the end of my Nexus5 can I flash Sileshnairs Roms?
@captemo, I'm watching my friend at work building roms, and hopefully keeping you out of trouble. Don't mess with Apen..lol
btw, I'm sure Mark Bencze will really appreciate if you'd stick around while he works this out.

I did not mean too, I just wanted him to know you can go from more clean room to start than stock... Stock rom is buggy and all... I took the rom from megafire and tweak it my way, this way I dont have to re-correct all the bug.... but sorry if it was mis-understood... I did mention it for reference only.... cheers
I truly hope someone here can help me. I am trying to fix my wife's tablet. Its a cheaper tablet (a craig cmp756), 70 dollars, but to me 70 isn't cheap. It was acting up, freezing, glitching and locking up. I got on the factory site, and found 2 firmware update packages for it. One was android 4.2 which it had in it, and the other was android 4.4. I tried to upgrade the firmware last night to 4.4. There is a bug in the update software. The screen dpi is NOT correct in the new firmware package. I say it is not correct because the screen will not rotate, and when you touch an icon to open it up, you have to touch about a half inch below it to activate it. So, I know there is a problem with the firmware. I downloaded the 4.2 and tried to revert, but it will not. I cannot even get into the settings far enough to activate developer options and activate usb debugging, so I cannot get a pc to link up to it. It has never been able to link up to a pc though for some reason. I really need to speak to someone who knows how to modify roms or firmware updates. I know that somewhere in the fw update packages is a file dealing with the screen dpi or resolution settings. I really need to swap in the 4.2 settings file into the 4.4 fw package. Can someone please help me?

Okay, thats the high def version. Mine is the lower res version. Will that make a difference?
I cant post a link to the one I downloaded as I havent reached 10 posts yet however the last of the url is pdetails.php?id=580
I opened it. allwinner? no. chip says amlogic aml8726-mxs a-ppg176.00 dmwsno57
just to let you know, I was able to install the fw you posted the link to. its a lot worse now lol. The screen is only showing me about 2/3 of whats supposed to be there. So that was definitely the wrong fw. I am about to give up and throw this thing in the trash and get a different brand. If I could find a program to autoload and root from the external sd card, then I may be able to downgrade the fw back to 4.2. until then I guess I am out of luck.
