Hello, I was following a guide to root the S6, and as a part of the guide you flashed the "Space-X" kernel onto the phone with ODIN. Well, the kernel was meant for the model SM-G920F and not the SM-G920P. I realized my mistake as soon as I booted the phone and suddenly I have no touch screen or cell service.
Reading up on it, I discovered that flashing incorrect kernels and ending up with a non-functioning touch screen is likely an indicator that the digitizer itself was fried, however I flashed TWRP and discovered that my touch screen indeed works! So I can use the touch screen functionality in the TWRP menus, but when booting the phone to its normal screen I do not have the touch screen functionality. I can still use the phone through a mouse OTG cable, and besides the lack of service or touch screen, it is completely normal (even rooted).
I have tried flashing stock firmware onto the device through ODIN however I receive an error every time I attempt to do so. I have tried different USB ports, re-installing drivers, restarting the PC, you name it.
Currently I am not using the phone, however in its current state I have the (incorrect) Space-X kernel and TWRP Version 3.0.0-1
Would replacing the kernel with one meant specifically for the G920P likely fix my issue? How would I go about doing that? What else would you recommend I try? Ever since I discovered that the touch screen may just be non-calibrated instead of totally fried, I've had a burning hope inside that I can salvage this phone. This time, however, I'd like to get some more experienced opinions.
Thanks in advance for any help.
