i had the touch button flickering\overheat problems in my ST15i, but the service center guys fixed it with the so called 'calibration fix'.
do i lose the calibration fix, if i unlock bootloader, or install custom kernal/ roms.
btw, i have a rooted 4.0.2.A.0.42 xperia mini

Depends, if it is hardware or software calibration.
If software, then installing custom ROM will likely remove it.

I am not aware of this, because I haven't had that problem myself, neither have I heard about it earlier.
No problem here since calibration

Hello sonu,
I had the calibration fix done by the service center last December and then I went on to unlock the bootloader via test point method. Since then I've tried the various kernels and ROMs here on XDA and so far so good, the back/menu touch buttons have never misbehaved since then. I haven't tried any ICS ROMs though...

Hi all,
I saw in the Android development topic that it's possible to unlock the bootloader.
Why would I want to unlock the bootloader? What are the (dis-)advantages?
Greets,
Jarcol
The bootloader in our phone lock us down from pretty much doing anything to.the phone. But when we unlock it we are then able to control the phone ourselves. (theoretically) we are able to do what the hell we want to this phone now. For example unlocking the bootloader simply allows you to flash unsigned/modified .sin files.
Now. This will not happen overnight as there is a lot of things to it mate. What you need to remember is there is hardware to think about and and a hell of a lot more.
Hope this helps!!
Yup, agreed. Main thing is to load custom kernal without load stock kernal. Which mean custom kernal load directly.

Flash DooMLoRDs unlocked kernel and if it doesn't display the white "Sony Ericsson" text upon start-up, then it's unlocked
I've flashed Dooms kernel and now is appearing an android logo with 2 vertical color bars top and bottom.
Does this mean it's successfully unlocked ?
Because during the unlocking it gave some errors cause he couldn't find some files.
Thanks
yes it is unlocked.
but is that doon kernel not the one that causes the phone not to go into deep sleep and has serious battery drain issues?
i think u should go back to the stock kernel or just use the Doom stock kernel. that one has just xrecovery put into it, and nothing else, meaning its practically the same as stock kernel.
shame that the bootloader unlock is coming at a time when all the Devs are moving on/have moved on to other phones. a week now and nothing new to report about for X10.

Please help me. I have the same problem. I have sk17i mini pro. phone lights up by itself when it is locked, screen flashes for a couple of times and this happens randomly.
My phone is rooted.
bootloader is unlocked.
Running stock firmware 2.3.4 v .62
will changing the firmware solve the issue? :\
Is Sony deliberately neglecting Mini by not providing any fixes or updates??.
Mini heat problem is now globally for long and didn't hear any news about Sony correcting the bug..
Why is Sony being so pathetic on customer satisfaction?..
Can anyone here reply if updating to .62 will fix the issues affecting Mini?..
Does the new Mini stock coming out from Sony have this problem?..
I am going to buy this device and see what it will do!

Good evening everyone. My sister got a Xperia Mini pro and has the following problem. When someone calls her she cant hear anything . She said that she can only hear sth. while the headphones are plugged in. Could it be that the soundboxes are defect ?

you can't use pcseus to update with unlocked bootloader, either relock it first or reflash stock rom

Go to dailer and press *#*#7378423#*#*......
this will take you to XMP services menu....from here go to service tests....inside there you can test almost every hardware inside your phone including your sister problem which is earphone.....
remember if the test show that your earphone works well then the problem is not cause by the phone/ROMS....it is cause by problem from your services provider/carrier (her or the one who called her)......

I recently flashed a CM9 based rom on my Xperia Sola,but after flashing its touchscreen stopped working,don't know why?I tried flashing .54 ftf via flashtool,it installed perfectly but it didn't make touchscreen respond.Then i tried it repairing through SUS but to no avail.Does anybody here know what would've gone wrong because i haven't flashed any custom kernel on it(yep locked bootloader) and i don't think that a rom can damage hardware(i know 'cause i have been porting CM9 based roms on my sola and they worked perfectly without any flaw).Is it the calibration problem or something?Don't know what should i do now.....

Yes the different device ftf may cause touchscreen fault due to driver mismatching/wrong kernel,but i was using Sola's ftf so that is ruled out.Although you are right that something different is corrupting the screen 'cause Xperia Mini had the same problem that was related to some rom flashing.
Or may be,the flashtool doesn't format all the partitions of the phone and there are some hardware files still lurking somewhere in the one of the partition thats causing the problem,but its just my guess.
I thought that only wrong kernel can cause hardware failure,didn't knew that a simple rom flash can do this,so lesson learnt:silly:

I have the same problem with my Xperia Go. I flashed the wrong firmware (for Xperia sola) and then the touchscreen did not work. It's possible to use flashmode and fastbootmode and to lock and unlock the bootloader.
So i tried a lot of kernels, firmware etc. and the method above - but nothing work.

Try the method given above...i.e install gingerbread firmware via flashtool,switch on your phone...run it for sometime,the touchscreen should work at this point.If yes,you can reflash stock ICS on your phone.Thats it.You can download GB firmware for Go from HERE.
Hope this helps.

By 'touchscreen keeps black' you mean that there is no display,that there may be some hardware fault,You should take it to the sevice center.

Does the touchscreen fault occured after flashing a rom/mod or after a physical damage?
If it is related to some physical damage,the solution won't work and you have to send it to service center.
