Flashed Edge TWRP on Verizon Note 4 by accident. Now my screen calibration is way off

[Sizzlechest]

I attempted to update my recovery and accidentally used the one for the Edge. I flashed the right one and got my phone to boot again, but now the screen calibration is way off. I can't operate the phone like this. Anyone have any ideas what to try?

EDIT: Non-verizon phones that have this issue cam be fixed by doing the following:

dial *#2663# and update the touch FW by pressing "TSP FW update (General)".

The dialpad trick is blocked for Verizon. Is there any way I can update the TSP firmware?

That must be what I did too. Does your S-Pen work?

 

[Sizzlechest]

DerangedLoofah: Yeah. If the S-Pen didn't work, it would be almost impossible to work the phone at all.

Well, I dodged a bullet. I found a post by vndnguyen who made an app that gets you access to these menus as long as you have root:

Typically you cannot launch the secret codes on Verizon devices. You have to enable the HiddenMenu (required root) to enter secret codes.

By using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app or Shortcut Master app, you can easily launch any secret code without enabling the HiddenMenu.

Just open app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > select the secret code to launch (root also required).

Cheers.

Just flash the correct version of TWRP and your problem will be solved.

how did you fix the problem, i tried restoring the phone and got it back to stock recovery but my screen calibration is still off

edit: nvm i was using phone info app and it didnt work so I tried shortcut master and all is well

No. That doesn't fix it. Flashing the right recovery gets you a working recovery, but only a working rooted environment will allow you to fix the touchscreen through the hidden menu option.

I had the same issue, this should do the trick...

EDIT: Just realized this info was already included in the OP

Flash the correct recovery.

Then root your phone and enter these adb commands:

adb shell
su
am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://2663


or
am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://*#2663#

Then the secret menu should come up and choose TSP FW update (General)

I don't understand your instructions.

Thanks for adding a solution, however, after installing Shortcut Master I cannot find the needed secret codes. I have to choose an app to have the secret menus shown. It is not obvious to me which app (system or user) I need to check. Additionally, it would also be nice to know what menu to choose from said app (as some of them have many and are not always obvious).

Thanks for your help!

Okay, thanks to derangedloofah's post I saw the code is 2663. It's all fixed now. Phew! Thanks to all of you.
