You can always back to your stock ROM by updating phone via Sony Ericsson Update Service.
This may bring back your warranty, but i heard that it isn't for sure.

If SE can't figure out you've messed with their firmware then the warranty is still there.
thanks and what about unbricking? can it happen that my phone will be completely bricked, and theres no way to unbrick it? sorry for my bad english
when you brick phone just flash with Sony Ericsson PC Companion and you will get sock original rom
okeey thanks. can i root my phone? because i have a newer firmware.

I've seen here on xda, a report which says it is still possible. Try to use FlasherTool. It is the best and easiest for rooting and installing xRecovery, just 2 clicks. But I am not sure about the compability of the custom roms. They are made for the previous firmware. Maybe you'll be the first tester. ;-)

Your english isn't bad at all.
No, you don't need anything else. Just to be sure, check the requirements on the first post of the ROM you want to flash.

I am facing a weird problem.I had been using MiniCM7 Pro v20 for about 6-7 months now, then suddenly one day touch screen stopped working. Rest all was working fine.
I tried re-installing the rom but still touch screen was not working. So i thought it would be a touch screen hardware problem. For getting touch screen fixed by SE i updated my mini pro using SEUS and viola touch was working again .
Then i found out that my x10 mini pro's touch screen wont work on any custom rom . I tried with many rom's.
But after updating with SEUS touch screen works again .
Can please anyone please suggest a solution on this....
I cant withstand the stock rom for long
I was not able to find any solution on this in the existing threads....
same problem.. HOPE SOMEONE WILL HELP US

unlock boot loader
install other kernels (nAa if i may suggest)
install miniCM7 ROM if you dont like the stock one.
maybe try the ver 21 instead of 20?

Hi, i try it but still doesn't work for me.
If I'm correct there are two types of digitizer in these phones. There are instructions on how to enable the other one that some phones have rather than the one most do in the nAa-11 thread's FAQ

If the screen light is a little bit flashing, then it is the light sensor, that is doing his job.

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!

hi ppl.
I was flashing my xperia u via flashtool when i realize that the fw i was flashing was for xperia sola. (dumb, i know)
I didn´t get too nervous , because knew that i could always reflash with flashtool , the right fw again,so i let finish the flash and reflash again , but this time with the fw for xperia u!
now the problem is that the touch screen is dead , no response at all!
I already try, to reflash a dozen times, i used seus repair option too, but the result is always the same,no touchscreen!
My bootloader is locked , i tought that a locked bootloader could prvent this kind of thing from happen, or am i wrong?
Now guys any ideia how to try to fix this, without taken the phone to a service center?
If ur Boot Loader is Locked .....
Try To Restore with Sony Update Service
"i used seus repair option too, but the result is always the same,no touchscreen...."
i already try that, but no the probem persist!

like Xperia Mini ST15i, if you flash the wrong firmware the touch will not work even you restore or update the software via SUS. my xperia mini work til i replace a new DIGITIZER.

So you saying that the digitizer broke?
How in hell bad drivers(i suposse is the drivers) can destroy a perfect piece of hardware?
Well ,the best solution is change the digitizer?
Sorry all this questions,but iam really intriged by this.
flashing wrong firmware can broke the digitizer, i dont know why happening this, so the best way for me to get out of this situation is to change your digitizer. note that screen and digitizer is seperated to each other.
probably because the sola has "floating touch"...
that must have pushed the hardware while trying to use it when it did'nt exist on our phone .......resulting in a screwed up digitizer
if its still bootloader locked, just flash a stock rom and get it repaired under warrenty..

i send the phone to Service center today.

I keep u guys informed what is the repair that they do to the phone!
Hi guys
I have my phone now,come today from service center.
The report from the repair says that they change the touch and repair the contacts in the digitizer connection sock.seems that the problem wasnt new and some st25i came out with some defect in that sock.
So that make me wonder if the thouch stop working because the wrong firmware i put in or the hardware problem they report.
Well nevertheless i have the phone running again
Thx for the support
Ps:the phone was repaired using the warranty

Xperia u touch sensitivity problem.
I am facing the same problem.Yesterday I tried to put the ftf of xperia go..and now the touch sensitivity of my phone stopped working.Then after reflashing it with a proper ftf and relocking the bootloader i updated it through the SUS.and now it works fine with the usb mouse but touch is not working. So if i give it to the service center will they provide me the service in warranty or i have to pay for that??
You'd get it in warranty most likely

Just curious, making a mental list of what/what won't boot
[ If I've Helped Hit THANKS ] | -raison d'être- | [ ST25i ]
So if the phone is generally booting and working after flashing different ROM, maybe there's a way to flash future JB update from Xperia P to Sola or Xperia U??? Replacing only the drivers of touchscreen to avoid problems like in this thread.
What about image resolution? ksonu03, if you flashed GO fw, UI and other graphical elements were properly displayed on Xperia U???
st27 stop working

2.flash xperia sola/wrong fw you flashed in first time
3.flash xperia u/your devices fw again
4.reboot
NOTE:do all of this steps with out opening or restarting the device or even do not take the battery out
do this at your own risk

Since u said u relocked the bootloader I think it will no longer be repaired under warranty coz unlocking the bootloader itself makes warranty void despite u lock it again

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.....
(Don't know why i went with Sony even when i knew deep in my heart that i would regret:silly

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:

Didn't flash back to ICS but i guess there shouldn't be any problem now.

Hello!
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.

Thank you for your help, but it does not work. I tried GB .62 and .84 with flashtool ver 6.x and 9.x with locked and unlocked bootloader. The touchscreen keeps black only the buttons responds (vibrate by pressing) a short time.
I think it's time for service center
Thanks

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.
