How to turn off soft keys android

T-Mobile P769, unmodded, soft bricked with Security Error

Okay, this is my first post on XDA, so bear with me. I just got into rooting/modding, and in the course of learning how to root my other devices, I read about the difference between "soft" and "hard" bricking, and realized my old LG might be worth rescuing. It just quit working one day, when it gave me a white screen of death after reboot. Now it just gives a black screen with the LG logo and the words "Security Error" below the logo.

I have tried master reset, and that just leads to a prone android figure with a red triangle, which I understand is not good news.

I have tried the LG Mobile Support Tool, which just says the device is fully updated, and when I try the additional recovery update, it gets 75% through and then says it failed "due to an error." Oh really. <_<

I do not know the OS version, kernel date, etc because I cannot get into the settings. Had I known what I know now, I would have jotted them down in Evernote for this exact situation. What info do I need to provide so you can help me with this?

[Q] Soft brick T-Mobile M919, need help!

Bone stock M919 (as far as I know - got the phone used at NK2 IIRC), OTA updated to OH3. Was having some issues, decided to Odin (3.10.7) same firmware (M919UVUFOH3_M919TMBFOH3_M919UVUFOH3_HOME.tar.md5 from sammobile.com) over.

Odin log:

After rebooting, device goes into odin mode with "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried both Kies v2 and v3 and neither is able to detect it in the emergency recovery mode

Also tried 3 different USB cables and all the ports on my laptop, with no results.

Triforce to 5.1 JFLTE-GPE to Soft brick

I hate to be the guy asking about a soft bricked phone but I can't seem to find anything in the other soft bricked threads that helps me.

I was trying to go from Triforce to 5.1 JFLTE-GPE. When I flashed I had no APN. I read that factory resetting through recovery then reflashing could help with that but it didn't seem to help. I managed to do that 2 or 3 times without any effect, then CWM informed me on a reboot that I might've lost root. I told it to try to recover root and rebooted. No change. I go to start CWM again and it doesn't start. I used ODIN to renew root and reinstall CWM.

Since then, I'm getting errors any time I try to flash a new rom. I can't seem to side load a rom from Odin either. I keep getting FAIL(Auth) errors. L720_OD2_Pre-Rooted_Firmware.tar doesn't work for me. I'm unsure if I should be trying to flash other versions instead. I'm using Odin 3.07.

When I use CWM recovery to try and directly flash Zips the 3 that I've tried always fail. Half the time it's telling me it's a bad signature. When I toggle signature verification it fails.

I have no idea what's going on anymore. Help?

HTC Desire EYE - Soft bricked -Needs Expert advice

Hi,
First time to post a question. Please, be patient.

Problems:
1. Fast boot goes into AC (no usb, so no connection with the laptop)
2. Camera not working

What I've done:
1. Flashed TWRP 2.8.4
2. Flashed custom ROMs with no back up (stupid I know)
3. Flashed the Beatmod ROM, then tried to go back to custom ROMs last was [OTA ZIP+TWRP] HTC Desire Eye 2.19.401.1 STOCK Europe 5.0.2 Lollipop, all haven't sorted the issue
3. Flashed the 0PFHIMG firmware, no differece

2 things I've noticed as well while doing these trials: the TWRP says no MD5 file found and when tried to flash crdroid-5.1.1-20151003-eyeul it said your device is M8.

Would really appreciate ur help

Brand new SM-G920I - are several "soft" reboots each day common?

Just got the SM-G920I via the Monoprice deal. It came loaded with 5.1.1 and upon startup did a Samsung update to bring it to the latest firmware. It's stock and not rooted right now. Put in my AT&T SIM and works fine with LTE and everything else. That's the good part. Given it comes with no warranty, I only have about 5 more days to decide whether to keep it or return it. Not being a Touchwiz fan, I installed some alternative launchers I've used in the past (Nova Prime, Action Launcher 3 Pro and Smart Launcher Pro). I can't diagnose any particular repeatable event, but every once in a while (several times a day) the phone just appears to restart showing the Samsung splash screen bringing you to to lock screen. It doesn't seem to be a full reboot as you don't see the initial "Android" screen and the "recent" menu is still full with the apps in place before the restart. Is this a common Samsung feature/bug other see? Does it seem like the phone might have faulty hardware? I did check for it being a fake, but it seems 100% genuine Samsung. For as painful as it is, I'm now using it under Touchwiz just to see if there is some incompatibility with 3rd party launchers. Any advice?

Soft Brick + [KERNEL][0719][5.1.1/BOFE][3.10.61] V Kernel

Hello, Newb here so go easy.

I have a Samsung s6 Edge on the Sprint network SM-G925P and have soft bricked it. Originally on build ol1 Lollipop 5.1.1

Here is the rundown, I rooted the phone with ping pong to be able to utilize Linux etc. Everything was working great for over a week then the phone gave an error and forced a restart.

Once restarted it just stuck on the Samsung Screen, went to boot recovery via vup, home and power. Wiped to factory settings. After the wipe it was stuck on the Powered by Android Screen.

ADB'd TWRP on to the phone, realized the phone wasn't mounted in any fashion. Mounted data, cache, and system went to reboot and was informed the phone did not have an OS and was not Rooted.

Then attempted to do this [KERNEL][0719][5.1.1/BOFE][3.10.61] V Kernel

Followed the directions on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/spri...-root-t3153396 downloaded the kernel from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35511 flashed the kernel via ODIN 3.10.6 clean clear easy install.

Rebooted phone, stuck on the powered by Android Screen - boot looping, playing 5 tone sounds repeatedly every 30-45 seconds. Allowed the phone to run this way 3 times for 12-15 minutes each with no change.

And lastly now in the top left of the screen it states "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to disable the soft touch keys without an app/mod?

I'd like to disable the touch keys that are taking up display real estate and have my Nexus 7 2013 be in permanent immersive mode or full screen mode. I'd like to use Pie Control instead to navigate my screen. Is it possible to disable them? I tried apps like Hide Soft Touch controls and they can be flaky switching back & forth between full screen and non-immersive mode. Is there a hack that can do this that doesn't affect system stability?

I think i soft bricked my Moto X Dev Edition XT1060 (lolipop)

So I got the OTA update to lolipop and have had nothing but wifi issues. Can't connect or stay connected to anything. I decided I'd had enough and used fastboot to try and get everything back to 4.4.4

Now I can get into the bootloader and even recovery but when I try and just boot it will show the Moto splash and then get to the Verizon screen. then it just goes black. 80% battery when I get into recovery.

I even let it go to the black screen and didn't try and turn it back on. about 45min later on my desk it tries to boot again.

Any ideas. cache has been wiped multiple times.

Accidentally Soft Bricked Tab S 8.4; tried firmware and PIT flash, no good.

I was given a Galaxy Tab S by a relative who works in a cell phone store. It was a demo device, and it had demo mode enabled. I initially attempted to reboot into recovery and do a wipe from there, but an error came up informing me that "MDM" had blocked this option (I assume MDM to mean manufacturer demo mode). The tablet was still working at this point, so I rebooted and got the exact model number, SM-T700. I googled for a bit and found the recommendation to be to reinstall the firmware. I've done a lot of ODIN flashes before, so I downloaded the correct firmware from the official firmware post here on XDA, rebooted to download mode, and flashed it without issues.

After 30 minutes, the tablet still just showed the Samsung boot screen. I did a hard reboot with volume up + power, and left it. After another 30 minutes, it still didn't show anything. I rebooted to download mode and tried flashing again. Same result. I rebooted to recovery and tried to wipe the device from there. MDM block.

After more searching, I decided to use the PIT file and the firmware file in ODIN. I've had to use PIT files a couple times before, so I was very careful in checking to ensure I had the correct one. I am very confident I did. I flashed that, and still the tablet would not boot.

I then decided to install TWRP and see if I could wipe from there. TWRP gave me some useful information: it returned that it could not mount any of the partitions on the device. 'could not mount /system', 'could not mount /data', etc.

I've done a lot of googling and reading since then, but I can't seem to find anybody else with the result. The closest thing I can find is a similar situation on some ASUS tablets, but the solution would definitely not work here. The only other thing I can find is people recommending to flash the PIT file, which I have no tried a second time and still does not work.

Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't know what else to do.

P3100 - Soft bricked

Hello everybody!

I wanted to put a new ROM on my tablet so I downloaded the ROM and the GAPPs on my tablet.
I booted in the recovery mode, where I " factory reset", "wipe cache" and "format system". After formatting the system step, I saw that I put the old ROM file so I rebooted the tablet.

Now I got stuck on Samsung logo.
I CANT manage to get in recovery mode, neither in download mode. The only mode I can get is "Forced Upload by key Pressing"

What can I do to redo the life of my tablet? :)

lg g3 soft bricked/ problem with models

hello everyone
i don't know about android that much
when i first bought my lg g3 LS990 "sprint device" i had some issues with the 3G/LTE since i live in middle east and the only way to access 3g signals is through CDMA??!
anyway... i went to a repair man and told him about my problem he rooted my phone, flashed a custom recovery "TWRP", then flashed a custom rom
when everything was done he managed to fix the 3g signals some how but the phone still wasn't able to get 4g signals
the weird thing is that when i checked the system info the mobile's model was changed from LS990 to D855
i didn't pay much attention to that back then but in the meanwhile i did some stuff and i had to flash a custom rom so while doing that my phone soft bricked
now i'm trying to flash stock rom again the problem is when i tried to flash LS990 stock rom i had an error message that says "device model is different"
and when i try to flash D855 rom it proceeds to 6% then an error message occurs says "partition change fac... 00000064" can't see the whole error message cause flash tool is not re-sizable
so now im not able to flash D855 model's rom or ls990 one
what should i do please i need help if anybody knows
would try anything :P thanks in advance :D
