Hi,
I have got my Xperia U ( 4 months age ) making a dive into the w.c. :crying:
Since then it is impossible to turn on bluetooth and with wifi it even goes worst, as if I try to turn wifi on my cell goes into a continuos loop of reboots.
I have tried several things; trying to dry it on rice, trying to re-flash with a newer versión rom from Sony, going into safe mode... I have even try to make use of guarantee :angel: which obviously has not worked.
Is there any way to try to recover it by software ? Is it purely a hardware malfunction ?
Years ago I reflash on a HTC Wildfire only the part of "radio" which involved gsm/gps/bluetooth etc, I have not find anything similar for Xperia U, is it possible ?
Thx in advance.
Any physical accident ----> surely hardware problems...

Going into safe mode for flashing new rom?
Use flashtool to flash latest firmware, if problem persists after that nothing we can do to help you, then probably hardware failure due to physical damage.
Flashtool: http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1364069462000
latest firmware can be found searching the forum.

I have the same problem. Flashed different firmwares with flasher and Setool, but touch still not working.
I have read that ther is an issue with flashing the stock Kernel on some Mini and Mini Pro
As i read that i decided that i Don't try to unlock the bootloader and Flash an insecure Kernel to obtain root because it is to dangerous
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?
Hey Guys, been Having A Problem With My Xperia Recently.. I Will Say That It Is On Stock Firmware & Kernel After Some Advice From Sony Support But The Problem Still Isnt Fixed..
The Fone Has A Mind Of Its Own Sometimes It Will Turn Off IN My Pocket No Apparent Reason Then Red Light Flashes, To Switch It On I Usually Have To Pull Battery Out Hold Back Button And Power On..!
Sometimes It Will Just Freeze On The Main Screen When I Come To Use It & Even Reboot Itself Sometimes...
Any Ideas On How To Fix This @ All Cuz It Doing My Tree In Doin The Same Routine Daily 5-6-7 times....!
Thanks In Advance..!

Rooted?
If not, may be the motherboard. I've got the same problem with mine, and I'm going to return it to store for a fix.
You may also want to try to plug it to the computer and open PC Companion and try the "repair" function. But backup everything you need first, I don't think everything get's deleted but be aware that it may happen.
Do u overclock it?

Hi, I got a similar problem. Since a few weeks ago, flashed a ROM and when I've tried to use the phone, it keeps turning off randomly, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after hours. So, I tried to take it back to the clean original 2.3.3 ROM, but it keeps happening. ¿Any idea? ¿Any solution? Please, help me.

Didnt PCCompanion/seus fix it? And still persists?
Then it's time to get a new chipset.
Or a new device.

Hi mates!
Few months back I unlocked my bootloader and recently used many custom ROMs and kernels. Unfortunately I could not use my wifi properly - I was on FreeXperia kernel and at very start wifi worked ok, but it stopped finding any networks after couple days of rom usage. Problem was reported on the Android Development sections in the ROM thread by many users, so I thought it will be fixed soon. Couple days ago I switched to DoomKernelv3, his wifi modules and Oodies MIUI ROM - worked perfectly but my wifi worked occasionally and stopped working again. I got back to stock now and I'm on Z's Recovery (very first one I used and had no wifi problems) and problem with no wifi networks still persists. Did I brick my wifi somehow? Is it possible? Does anybody experienced similar problem?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
hey
honestly... i think there is a hardware problem in your phone....
cuz even after switching rom's you still have the same problem....
i would sugggest that your use seus and get back to stock version... and just get it fixed by them.....just keep saying them that wifi doesnt works and all.....

very easy mate....
just open seus.... support->update phone->repair phone written in red color->wait and then from the list of phone choose your's->now take the battery out for 5 seconds(15sec might also work)->put the battery in->press back button and keep pressing it and then connect the usb cable....->it would flash the stock rom back plus automatically lock the bootloader again....
VOILA....
claim your phone is having hardware problems to the repair guys..... if under warranty

I don't think seus locks your bootloader you have to use s1 tool I'm pretty sure I may be wrong though
sent from my x10 using xda premium
it does lock.... coz every-time i got f'd while flashing i used seus and had to unlock the boot-loader every-time.... even though i checked with s1 tool first if the boot-loader was locked or not....
any way if you r on stock rom... those repair guys... wont even notice that you flashed the device
Hi!
I have had the same problem as you. Still after repairing it in PC Companion, the problem was still there.
So I left the phone for couple of days because I got Xperia S, and when I turned it on one day and searched for WiFi networks, it finally found some networks!!!
I don't know what 'fixed' it, but I think it's a hardware issue and I was going to get it repaired until it fixed itself

I repaired the system with SEUS, no Recovery or root available anymore. I assume bootloader is locked back. Wifi works same way as it worked. Is there some wifi debug software to figure out what is going on?
Anyone?

yes, me use rom manager. browse all options. u should see one called wifi scan interval. if i am not wrong, default is 480. change to the lowest possible
I'm kindly posting this question to help my friend's X10 Mini Pro.
The phone is hardbricked two times, the first one is we accidentally flashed the wrong .ftf file on Flashtool last month and sent to repair center, it came back to life. The second one is that the phone did not power on after turning it off (happened almost 1 month after the repair). So here's the problem:
So the phone vibrates shortly everytime I'll try to turn it on but there are no signs of led and screen to lit up. The good news is the computer (I'm using Win7) recognizes the phone when I connect it but a couple of seconds, it just disconnects and reconnects again sometimes it just normally connects with no interruption. I tried to flash back to stock using Flashtool (the .ftf file)
According to the message log, it successfully flashed so I disconnected it and turned on the phone but still, it just vibrates and the screen did not turn on. Tried Sony PC Companion-failed I don't know if the bootloader is STILL unlocked after the repair because I unlocked the bootloader before the first hardbrick event happened. So I'm thinking about what if he accidentally accepted an OTA update? maybe that's the reason of being hardbricked? what do you think? I really appreciated your help
Hi ,

Omg again
First of all, ive tried searching all morning for a fix - but so far no dice.
I have an xperia z2 that's is about 7 months old, and over the past two or three days I've started running into issues where the screen is really slow to wake up. Instead of being instantaneous when pressing the wake/power button, there is a 2-3 sec delay before the screen turns on and I can swipe to unlock.
I've tried removing the SD card (which can apparently cause this type of issue) but wanting to hear other opinions before I try messing around with wiping caches in recovery etc.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Try reflashing your rom.
If that doesnt fix it then reflash a FTF
Ive descovered that very rarely a partition can corrupt and cause some odd lag on a device.
Forgot to mention that the screen has stopped auto-rotating as well. Are these issues likely to be connected?

as said try reflashing your Rom(if runing a custom one). if its still there try flashing A FTF.
if the problem is still there after that then the device has become defective and should be covered by warrenty. you should recieve a free repair if you call sony mobile.
