Android – touch screeen stopped working

[Per]

Teclast X98 Air 3g model c9j6

A couple of weeks ago the touch screen stopped working in Android – it still works without problems in Windows or in the bios (both side of the dual boot bios). I had previous upgraded windows to windows 10, but that was a couple of weeks earlier.

I have updated the bios to the latest version, I have installed Android lollipop – first with keep current data and then with a total wipe out of the existing Android.

Still no touch screen in Android, but no problem in Windows – must be a software error or …

I can access Android using an USB mouse.

Hope someone has an input

Per,
Your issue is not uncommon. It almost always happens to tablets whose model ends in J6–like C8J6 or C9J6
and we have a boot image that usually fixes the issue.
Unfortunately, the boot image only works on Android 4.4.
If you are currently running Android 4.4, like any Teclast stock image or one or Mirek’s 4.4 images, follow the tutorial I posted later in this message and it will probably fix the issue for you.
If you are running an Android 5 image, my advice is to flash a 4.4 image, then follow the tutorial

Tutorial with kernel installer dedicated to your issue here:

BTW, it is possible we might find or make a boot image that fixes this issue under Android 5 at some point.
Please post the results (Good or Bad), if you use this tutorial.
I like to keep count of the % of cases where this boot image fixes the problem so I can give users like you approximate odds that it will fix their touchscreen. So far this boot image is fixing the issue about 85%-90% of the time

Worked nicely

Downgraded to Mirek 4.4 and applied the fix – everything working again 🙂

Thanks a lot
