able to boot into recovery but touch is not working

and due to that i have to press hard reset key to reboot

i have rooted super su installed phone with 4.4.2
and had selected option 1 in script


just one key was working and that was power key

as soon as i hit power key recovery was showing phone locked and traditional swipe on bottom to unlock
infect that was even not working

opened NDR tool and selected cwm and that is working properly

log attached


any help would be solace

TWRP recovery is working perfectly fine for me
same bug as before tgat you have to wait for it to sleep before waking it up with vol keys
i think the bug is specific to you
cause i was even able to flash thr deodex rom and create backup using TWRP

Interesting, I have found and fixed the part which was causing this exact same issue on my previous builds on the xperia z and various other models... That was caused by a bug I personally introduced by implementing a new backlight control. The issue is fixed on the other models now...

I'll have another look for it, maybe some of the device repository flags are making it go haywire...

Cwm works fine, but does Philz Touch work as well?

got it
is there any permanent solution for this

Possibly, yes. It seems to be coming from a different source here though, probably the driver.

If anyone is willing to help me debug this and has some knowledge of linux commands, you can contact me by PM to arange a Hangouts session or to agree on a time to meet up on freenode IRC. I'm in #TWRP now, I'll be running off for some groceries soon, but will be back shortly.

Put it inside /system/bin and reboot to TWRP. I changed it to turn off the screen for a second and then enable it again. It might not even show, but if my hunch is right, this will make it work OK.

Hi,

Moto E had exactly the same problem in twrp so I asked cybojenix about the solution. It was a problem in the touch screen driver. Here is the commit which fixed it for moto e - https://github.com/cybojenix/kernel_motorola_condor/commit/1687140f4fb6c9f3c4d68e92381253801192f7b3
I tried to implement the same kind of fix in our touch drivers but couldn't figure out how to do it. Also, the kernel source for kitkat isn't out yet.

Regards,
abcdjdj

Well, my latest attempt tries to deal with it from the top down, as it has to work on stock kernels, I'm switching the screen off and on again as if the time went and the device is woken up again.

I still have no idea if it works: I don't own the device to test it.

Can you give it a test and see if it works? https://github.com/xNUTx/android_de...lob/cm-11.0/recovery/twrpgraphics.c#L683-L684

Great :victory:

I'll submit a pull request to the CMX repository I forked

 

[abcdjdj]

Great :victory:

I'll submit a pull request to the CXM repository I forked

Oops. I already cherry-picked it

Are you maintaining that repo? If so, it will save me the trouble

 

[abcdjdj]

Are you maintaining that repo? If so, it will save me the trouble

Yes. @Abhinav2 and I are the maintainers

 

[[NUT]]

Yes. @Abhinav2 and I are the maintainers

Then keep it as it is

I'm just glad I was able to fix it :good:

 

[itsMridul]

I am not much of a geek here, but I have installed this recovery and TWRP is so far working good for me. Successfully taken a back up of system rom.

 

[dropdan]

AWESOME

Thank you man. Working fine on my device.
