[Guide] S7 Slim Touch Screen not responding Rooting change sdcard2 to sdcard

---

Ok first things first : If you installed some launcher and your touch screen is not responding and you dont have USB debugging enabled then the only way to fix that is to install the original firmware, dload from here : http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/...irmware-4.html check post 35 for the one i used

If you do have debugging enabled the download Superoneclick from below.

The super one click can aslo root the S7 slim and it has adb installed. Unxip it somewhere and go into the \adb folder. Open command prompt from there and run

Adb devices

If it doesnt show your device the either the debugging is not enabled or the right driver is not loaded. (Menu, Settings, Applications, Development, USB Debugging (Yes))

type adb shell
cd\data\app
rm *launcher*.apk
exit
adb reboot

This will remove the launchers thats faulty and touch screen will work again.

If you guys find a clockworkmod that works then leme know here cause i loaded the wrong one and its messed up.

Use psneuter to root and use the adb in the zip for the above

Swapping sdcard and sdcard2 around

---

adb remount
adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab

if you get permission denied error when doing adb remount then try the following instead :

adb push vold.fstab /sdcard/vold.fstab
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
cp /sdcard/vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
mount -o remount ro /system
exit
exit

reboot

Copy attached file into ur adb directory (and unzip it has the modified and original file in the zip) and do the above

this works great - - i had a problem where i have not been able to recover my internal SD card - tried everything - even back to original eclair and all - now i just use the external sd (16gb) for everything. No problems with camera recognizing sd card or programs not downloading, etc, etc....

I'll still try to maybe swap out the internal card, or try to get it functional again somehow, but in the meantime, the S7 if again functional.

Rom

Im currently using this rom an dit works perfectly : http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/...-slim-mod.html

Only problem i had was updating google maps so i just loaded the new version via .apk manually

O yes If you load that rom and it comes on the first time the screen might not respond (stuck on lockscreen) but its busy loading software in the background. Mine came up on the lock screen saying connect charger although the battery wasnt low so i plugged the charge cable in. It then rebooted after a while and the touch screen is working perfectly.

I just got my Slim S7 yesterday, hated the launcher so I replaced it not thinking it would cause such a problem... long story short I tried installing the rom you linked hoping it would fix it(tried everything else) and the touch screen still is unresponsive and USB debugging is now disabled. Any ideas?

well I finally got it working. I ended up doing multiple battery pulls and installed the geeksu recovery, and that's all I did. I'm up and running on that rom. Only thing is thatbi somehow lost root, but that was no biggy.
