Today, I had the CM7.2 rom on my SK17, and it worked perfectly, I toke the phone to use it, but the touch screen didn't worked! I saw the things in the screen, but touching it gave me the same result as touching a non tactile screen! Of course, I couldn't unlock and use it.
I tried to enter the CWM mode and flash it. In the CWM the soft keys didn't worked, so I had to wait to flash again the boot.img at home with the computer.
But although I flashed again the boot.img, the touch screen didn't worked. I tried to flash other different boot.img, but it continues without work. I don't know what to do!!
Do you flash the right rom??mango??

Seen quite a lot of topics about SK17 touchscreen problems, but no solution yet, neither do we know what causes the bug.
Also, soft keys in CWM not working. I hear that first time.
Get back to fully stock ROM, might help you.
Of course I had flashed the correct rom, for mango, sk17, and I returned to the official rom too, but the problem persists.
I think it's a hardware problem, but I don't know if I should open the phone to see if something is broken...
Ok, I finally decided to take the phone to vodafone and make them solve the problem. It's under warranty yet and I think it's a hardware problem, so I won't have to pay, but I'll have to cope without my xperia during 10 days :S
Thanks for the ideas you suggested
yeah, me too having this problem.... once it worked i restored backup...but after 30minutes stopped working again.... i can change kernels...but not working..so i guess not the lib's fault here. Also softkeys doesnt work, i guess they are part of screen.

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my x10 mini pro. There are some similar posts here but nobody exactly describe what is happening to me. So my problem:
One day i have been in subway, phone working properly everything fine. THan suddenly 3G icon has disappear and wouldnt go back. So i decided to restart the device. But since i turned it off, i cannot turn it back on again...
I have tried to take out the simcard, take out mempory card, multiple time reflash by SEUS but still cannot turn it on.
I cna charge the phone with no problem, i can flash it with no problem, but i cannot use it at all.
When i press power button, phone shortly vibrate as he is turning on, than display get a bit brighter (not white, just lights up its easy to notice from profile). and than after few seconds get black again. And like this it continue until it drains battery, only without vibrating. every cca 5 seconds display light up and than get black again. So i guess its rebooting all the time. I have tried all tricks like pressing power+home button, still nothing.
I think i just need really wipe out the whole phone and flash it again. Is it possible somehow? I feel like reflashing by SEUS is not real hardcore flash, is there anything stronger i can try?
I am willing to try anything if anybody has an idea, since its not working anyway so i dont care what i try.
Thanks for advices !

I try this already... Still the same
Try to flash 1.6 back.
I had the same problem, didnt ever find a way to fix it so had it replaced under warrenty. may be your only way on this problem im afraid.
I tried 1.6 - didnt work
Problem is that i have no warranty.... I just gave it to my friend who is going to singapore, she knows some official SE shop, so maybe i will get it fixed, but im not sure if it wont be for the same money as new phone...
Well the phone is under a year old so it will be covererd under se warranty unless they think you broke there warranty in any way. I would flash it back to your original FW before having it looked at and wipe your sd card.
I bought it in chinese market (Its not a copy) without any receipt or anything, I dont think so they will took it as a warranty. I have done all of this. Flashed to my original FW, wiped everything, nothing works...
did u try SEUS ?
is your phone getting detected via SEUS in flash mode ? what happens when :
1. Take off the battery for 30 secs
2. connect the phone to usb
3. Power on the phone with back button pressed.
if SEUS detects u should be able to flash it. The flash tool also should be working.

Lets hope that there will be an other method to root this device

From Setool support. You must have Setool box or dongle to be able to flash/unlock sonyericsson devices.
setool3-box.org
files.setool.net/support/SETool2
So you unlocked the bootloader flashed the Kernel and then got the Same Problem like me and your solution is to Flash the older Firmware and this worked for you?

Hello all,
I'm also fighting with this problem. Has anybody more information for the reason of this bug?
My Phone:
Xperia Mini Pro SK17i 1249-0812 TYPE: AAD-3880104-BV
Bootloader is unlocked.
The Status:
My Phone is booting and all physical keys works but the sensor buttons and the Touch display is completely unresponsive/unusable.
I' ve tried different update tools (flashtool, wotan, install from CWM) and different roms:
FXP052-update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-KANG-signed.7z
SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_(1249-7380).ftf
SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL.ftf
SK17i_4.0.A.2.335_FRENCH.ftf
also tried to update the kernel from [KERNEL] KRsH Kernel v2.0 (MiniPro)
It always results in a nearly working phone with no response from the touchscreen.
Would be very appreciative for any help!
Thanks,
Bernhard
Bought my wife a mini pro which was a SK17i
It came today and worked for about 20 minutes while I put all her stuff on it.
Then all of a sudden the touch screen and capacitive buttons stopped responding.
I had a similar issue on my x10 mini pro which related to the homebrew dual touch driver. Stock restore from SEUS fixed that.
Tried that on the xperia mini pro but it didnt help.
I've sent the phone back as faulty now.
Would be interested in hearing if the problems here are software or hardware.
Cheers
Hi guys, I have the same problem like everybody else - the touch screen doesn't work niether the capacitive buttons.
It happened when I thought I caught a virus after downloading an aplication : THE SEARCH ICON
Probably this was really stupid thought, but then I decided to make a full factory reset. My phone was rooted and after the reset the super user icon was still in the aplications. Then after 2 minutes using the phone it crushed, so I decided to unroot and then to make another factory reset and I did it.
Then the home button didn't work and the phone crushed few more times.
So I used PC Companion and update to .62. The phone was Ok for a week then it's screen and the capacitive buttons were useless.
I did 6-7 repairs from Pc Companion but still nothing.
Then I use Flashtool to flash it to SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL.ftf and again nothing. Then I flash it to SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_Trade_United_Kingdom_(1248-7407).ftf but still nothing. After that I updated again to .62 and no result.
IS THERE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP PLEASE
Try Sony Ericsson Update Service to restore firmware completely.
I tried Sony Ericsson Update Service, too! Even with full factory reset and update to the latest firmware .62 and still the same problem! What should I do?
Someguyfromhell thanks you for your answer. I don't know why there are no posts for fixing this. Everybody asked for solution, but still none answer! I can't use my phone for a week now. It is really annoing . Please I really need help!
Sounds like the same problem I have. I was using hybrom + krsh kernel for months and was really satisfied with the phone. Then about a month ago the touchscreen went suddenly unresponsive for a 10 seconds or so. After that these lock ups started to became more frequent. I installed logcat and noticed it had something to do with touchscreen driver in kernel.
Next I tried bbooff's kernel but no avail. Then I used wotanserver to install stock kernel and rom, relocked bootloader, updated with pc companion, uninstalled all software I installed from market, did a 100% complete factory reset...
Then after using the phone for 5 minutes without lock ups I was really feeling victorious. I guess I forgot to knock wood because the touchscreen froze again. Now the phone is at the service center.
Either there is some really weird bug in these custom roms we all used or the hardware is bad. I never overcloked my phone more than 1,0 GHz -> 1,1 GHz so that can't be the reason.
I hope the service doesn't cost too much. I think I voided my warranty when I unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom kernel. The saddest thing is if it is a hardware problem caused by a bad hardware or a design fault I would still have to pay for it.
I understand, but it is really wierd, because I didn't use custom ROMs at all. I just made factory reset on a rooted phone (without unlocking the bootloader) after that I update to .62 from PC Companion and then I used the phone for a month and like yours the touchcsreen was dead for a little bit and the capacitive buttons, too. After that these lock ups started to became more frequent like yours. Do you thing that I will void my warranty, too and is there a solution for me?
Anyone with solution?
OK so heres my problem, I didnt drop the phone or anything like that, but one day i just noticed that my home and menu hardware keys werent working but the back key does, then i noticed that whenever i slide the phone to the side, the phone freezes, and tries to redraw the image in landscape while the keyboard is out, but it cant for some reason. but it can draw it in landscape without the keyboard out.
Im on this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116
obviously stock kernel and all that.
Has anyone experienced this problem, is it a softwarre issue or a hardware issue.
I can also get back into cwm but i cant select anything because the middle hardware button is not working. im guessing because i cant use it in cwm its a software issue but i just had to make sure. i want to know if i should use flashtool and go back to stock so i can give it to my provider to fix or if i should try something else.
Another thing, this is the only phone i have access to so i dont want to do anything that isnt reversable with out the use of the two hardware keys i mentioned.
Please please help me with this.
Cheers,
Evil.
Hi.
I've used that rom for a while.
Never experienced something like that.
Once a time I found phone switched off, but I don't think it depends on rom...
But, more from a shot it takes...
Try to restore original rom (with SEUS).
If the problem persist, use Your warranty!
Cheers,
M.

Thanks but you see the problem is that i dont want to restore with seus just incase it is a hardware issue, coz then i wouldnt have a phone to use, as it is my only device. does anyone else have any suggestions. Please anything will be cool.
Cheers,
Evil.
If it is a hardware issue and you use SEUS, it'll just mean you'll still have the same problems you have now but on the stock ROM. Your phone will be just as usable as it is at the moment.
Plus, it means you'll be able to claim a repair on your warranty.
If it's a software issue and you use SEUS..then it should be fixed. It does mean you have to reinstall everything, which is great fun, but at least your phone will work.
The only other thing I could suggest would perhaps be reflashing your ROM.
Which you can't do with CWM because your home key doesn't work..
Hmm...
I think you are going to have use SEUS, I'm afraid.
use the power key in recovery
it seems like it's a hardware problem as the home button DOESNT work in CWM recovery..
is your phone still in warranty?? (i thought warranties were only like for one year..)
btw... do a backup in CWM.. i know ur home key does not work but u can use the 'power' key on top as a substitute in CWM. Backup ur ****, then flash with SEUS and see.. if it still doesn work, get it repaired under ur warranty.
OR
slide out the hardware keyboard and use the "enter" key on it

I've installed a couple of different roms (custom en stock) and suddenly my touch screen isn't working anymore.
I'm sure it's not a physical problem (didn't drop), is it possible a rom messed up my touch screen drivers or something like that?
Download mode is working fine, installation of any rom without any problem but at the language selection screen my touch screen doesn't respond.
Does anyone got more options I can try before I send it to a Samsung Service Center.
Angelofmusic seems to have a similar problem, but no response yet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969&page=119

right, to start off remove your sim/sd card (if you have one)
next format the internel sd card, or dlete EVERYTHING on it
wipe the phone in recovery
download the latest Samsung firmware and flash that in odin (instructions on the thread) then after you see the samsung logo pop back up enter stock recovery mode. then wipe everything there. boot up and touch screen SHOULD work. If it doesn't send it into Samsung. Little more i can do.... good luck
I have had the exact same thing happen to me - and have found one other user with the same issue as well - seems like too much of a coincidence that it happened after a rom upgrade for it to be hardware - even more of a coincidence for the same thing to happen to three different people
part of me refuses to accept that its a hardware issue - I am trying all sorts of rom and kernel (stock and modded ) solutions to see if that resolves it
I tried the same things, tried a lot of roms but all the same the touch screen didn't work.
On another forum a guy advised to install the CWM touch and see if that works, but after the install I couldn't got to the recovery mode.
So I couldn't test it.
An other thing Im going to test is attaching a usb OTG cable and attach a mouse. Im curious if the mouse will work and if it's possible to recalibrate the touch screen......
If you have a solution I would be very happy.

I tried a few roms that use Aroma to install and the touchscreen doesn't work in that either
I have also just noticed that when ever i try to install any CWM touch version - i am unable to boot to recovery - regular cwm recovery and the stock recovery will work
is that linked maybe?
I've attached a mouse with the OTG cable but still wasn't able to reconfigure/calibrate the touch screen.
So installed triangleaway, back to the original rom and to the repair center
How did you install Triangle away without being able to get into a rom?
at the moment my rom count is 27 and i didnt realise i could get triangle away on there without a rom to load it into - is there a .zip update that will do it from the stock recovery?
Hello to everyone, I want to ask for your help!
First of all sorry for my bad english! I will try to explain the situation.
Last December (2014) I bought a THL W200s phone, from China. It's impossible for me to find the seller, because my uncle that was living in China for 1 year, ordered the phone via TaoBao but he doesn't remember to what seller.
Well, the phone was ok, till it fell down to the floor and the display broke.
I mean, the "outside" glass was ok, but the display wasn't.
I ordered a new phone screen in Aliexpress (ask for the link, I can't put any link here) and changed the screen.
The new screen works OK, but I've a problem. I can't get the touchscreen working.
I mean, I can see perfectly the main menu, but if I touch the screen, it doesn't "moves" or do anything, the touchscreen part isn't working.
I talked to the seller, and researched, and found out that might be a firmware problem. Something like that the screen was newer than the phone, or vice versa.
I downloaded and flashed almost all the firmwares/ROM's available in the Internet for THL W200s, that can be flashed by SP FlashTools (I can't use another method to flash because the touchscreen doesn't work), but no one worked completely.
I mean, with all the firmwares/ROM's I flash, I get the same result. Display works OK, but no touchscreen.
Except with this one : Needrom- W200S 4.4.2-KK-09/09/2014
With that one, I get the opposite result, I mean, my touchscreen works, but the display doesn't. The Phone turns on, but shows no image, it's all black, but I can feel the vibration when I press the screen and the touchscreen works OK.
I don't have experience flashing that things, or in basic Android, but I wanted to know if you can help me! I'm desperate!
I would have to "combine" the "part" or file that contains the touchscreen of that ROM (W200S 4.4.2-KK-09/09/2014) with another one, So I can finally get my display and touchscreen working.
Any ideas of how to do it? I tried replacing the lk.bin file of the ROM I mention, in some other ROM's that make my display works, but I don't get any good result.
Please, if this topic doesn't go in this forum, or if I've posted some link that can't be posted, I apologize!
Thanks for reading, if you don't understand something please ask!
PD: I've already asked to the seller for the suitable firmware, but the one that he provided, doesn't work.
Any never firmware should work. How you tried to install firmware? By FlashTool? Flash everything but preloader, it should work. To be on the safe side try latest JellyBean (4.2.2) from needrom. This could be some new screen revision but who knows. Please post your results.

First, thanks for reading!
Yes, I've tried via SP FlashTools v5.1352.01, because I think I can't flash ROM's with CWM or TWRP because I can't get my touchscreen working, so I can't install them on my phone. If I'm not right, please correct me.
As I said, I tried almost every rom that is available in NeedRom for thl w200s that can be flashed using SP FlashTools. But I can't get any good result, touchscreen doesn't work. I'm sure it's only a firmware problem, because flashing the ROM that I describe in the topic, touchscreen works but display doesn't. And flashing any other ROM display works but touchscreen doesn't.
Could you recommend a ROM to try? I don't know what else to do. I'm afraid my phone is lost
What I did to flash all the ROM's I download, using SP Flash Tools, is to select the Android scatter, then in the sliding panel clicked in "Firmware Upgrade", click in Download, connect the phone without the battery, and wait the ROM to be flashed.
I don't know what is wrong !
I had the same problem when I changed my screen.managed to use my back up I made with mtk droid tools.before I changed my screen,I was on the 4.4.2 ROM which I could now no longer use(black screen), but for some reason I could now install the ROMs from need ROM (which I couldn't use before)and the backups on my phone would freeze when I used them.only the stock ROM I had and the ultimate ROM from need ROM would work.but now the mic no longer works(tested with the google apk,phone calls and sound recorder) and the vibrate does not work and the proximity sensor does not work(tested it by using the dialer but the screen stays dark so can't end the call.so I got a dialer apk from play and that works but in the end I used a xposed module to stop the proximity sensor. really had enough of this phone.
