I can't even enter the recovery because Sony Ericsson logo won't even appear.

Have you tried flashing the stock kernel back?

as for as your problem i think you have not flashed JB kernel, their are so many kernels for JB choose one or read how to installrom from OP..
I would like to give a brief about locked and unlocked bootloader, it may help to other peeps
if you unlocked your bootloader it doesnt solve the bootloops, the main reason of bootloops are you have to use respected kernel for the respected rom, if you are flashing ics rom then you should be on ics kernel, same for ginger bread (GB) or jelly bean, you shouldnt be confused if you read the procedure of flashing the rom from OP,
whats wrong with locked bootloader?
if you accidently flashed any wrong mod or rom which is not suitable to your stock kernel you get bootloops, and you cannot restore backed up rom immediately because you have to reflash stock from scratch and then recovery, after then only you can flash etc, it is a very painfull process,
why to unlock bootloader..?
unlocked bootloader is like a muscle car , after unlocking you flash custom kernel which has cwm recovery per-installed , if you got any booloops you can easily manage restore backup, or you can flash custom rom which is compatible with flashed kernel, and you can easily switch kernels switch roms flash mods without worry,
this is explained in many ways and many times In xda, but peeps are lazy to search...
Please dont mind if my briefing is boring and useless...
thank you..

Why do you get Sony logo if you flash kernel... Are you sure you are fastbooting kernel instead of hotbooting?

I had the same problem when I first tried to do mine, just wouldn't get past boot.
I then followed Brenty's guide found here and it worked first time (running DonutHD).
As Joseph said, you can always flash back to Stock using SUS.

4:if wrong rom was ics,rom will not boot then remove the battery to turn phone off then flash .62 firmware again if it was gb,do the same work
5:wait until stock rom boots the touch will be fixed
6:if touch screen fixed,press thanks button

Thing is: I don't know what rom initially broke the touchscreen since I got the phone in this condition, hoping for an easy fix
I don't think there's a way to tell what rom was on there....so my best bet is still random flashing, right?
