Hi,I updated my phone over the air when i was in unlocked bootloader.My touch became unresponsive.The soft keys alone works.In very few occassions i was able to unlock the screen.i have relocked my bootloader.I tried unbricking phone method.I flashed firmwares using flash tool and sus.Even then my issue is not solved.can any one help me out.
Updating a phone with unlocked bootloader over OTA bricks it.. Since you have unlocked bootloader there's no point in relocking it since DRM keys are lost.. ( official method ) ... Okay ... I see problem with kernel ... download official stock firmware . flash only Kernel ( Tick all exclude options except that of kernel ) also tick no final verification.. ... Then try rebooting .. If still not works then give me your phone model..

hi, i tried the method which you specified.still it is the same.one more thing now i have locked my bootloader, so that i can do ota righr?.my phone is xperia mini pro(sk17i).i dont have warranty.i asked in service centre regarding,they said it will cost 10000rs.can you help me out.
OTA didn't work for me even after locking bootloader. Anyways try repairing your phone using update service... Also after flashing kernel ... Flash the whole stock firmware with sd card removed and unlocked btloader....... What did service center authorities tell you ? Is it hardware related or software related problem ? Alternatively you can follow unbricking guides available or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24136222

Careful buddy u gonna mess ur phone up. U have no reason to downgrade kernel now flashtool can do it all on 2.3.3. If u unlocked successfully then it will still be unlocked unless u relock it yourself (flashing new Rom/changing kernel etc will not relock it). Refer to various guides on bl unlock but be careful. That sounds like a recipe for disaster pal. (if u need help pm me but it sleep time for me now so it'll b tomoz)

Hi first of all sorry for my poor english!
i have unlocked my xperia ray bootloader using the tutorial on the official sony ericson website losing my DRM data, and flashed using flash tool the official
ST18_4.0.A.2.368_GENERIC_(1248-9545).ftf file and all worked fine until i done the Firmware upgrade over the air and there my pone stopped working..
i have flashed another firmware but nothing
i cannot go even in the fast boot mode, only flash mode.
can anybody help me? pls
I dont think there is anything you can do. I read somewhere that happens when you unlock bootloader on official website and update it over the air. A hard brick i think its called.
Hope im wrong.

thanks a lot all fixed i was sure u guis can help me,
another question is there any way for me to turn back to official updates and using track id?
Did you even take the time to read the disclamer that Sony Ericsson has on their Developer site?
Known issues
It is currently not possible to unlock the boot loader for CDMA phones.
Some customers with unlocked boot loaders have experienced problems when they are accepting over the air upgrades (FOTA - Firmware upgrade Over The Air). For customers that have unlocked the boot loader, please do not accept any over the air upgrades. For additional information, check out the hints and tips from the community on the XDA forum.

That answers the reason you bricked your phone.
And as it has been answered a gazillion times. NO NO NO NO. You CANNOT restore DRM or Track-ID. There are other third party apps that do the same thing.
Please note that you may void the warranty of your phone and/or any warranty from your operator if you unlock the boot loader. Sony Ericsson can then no longer guarantee the full functionality of your phone, and will not be responsible for any unsigned custom software being flashed to the phone after the boot loader is unlocked. Certain functions in your phone might cease to work, and performance might not be ideal. You might also damage your phone permanently. In the worst case, unlocking the boot loader will cause physical injuries or material damage, for example, due to the phone overheating.

That includes but is not limited to: Official updates(especially ICS), DRM, Track-ID.
I'd recommend you did some research before unlocking your bootloader. It will save you a lot of time and stress.
no i readed all the disclaimer, fully knowing what i was doing. and the reason i have done the fota upgrade was only a stupid mistake i have pressed ok on the notification of update, becouse is similar with the market notification of updates, and i was only wandering if some genius in here was able to make the inverse process of the drm data thanks a lot for evrything.

Hi, I was always wondering then in such case you only shouldn't use OTA updates or does update through PC Companion would brick the phone as well? Do somebody might know the answer?
no the pc companion wont let you update, but if it dose (wich is impossible i think) it wil do same thing.. so update your phone with <flashtool only
Do you try to reflash with the stock rom??

Maybe the developer doesn't care since you've slagged off his rom.
I used to be like you until I read Feras statement about "roms he creates as for his use and he shares them for people to try".
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Right, so first: Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Second: Is your phone sim-unlocked? (In other words, are you able to use a sim card from another carrier in your phone?)
Third: If you haven't gotten your x10 sim-unlocked you're going to have to relock your bootloader.
Here is the tool to relock your bootloader.
Fourth: Assuming the above is all true, you need to sim-unlock your phone. You can either contact your cell carrier (if you bought the phone from them), or use one of the paid services online. I don't know which service can do it because I went with the cell carrier route

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:

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.

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.
