I had my WT19i with the stock 4.0.2.A.0.58, rooted, with CWM, and I tryied to install the TouchWiz V2 ROM, what bricked my cellphone. Now, I had it recovered, but my TouchScreen won't work.
I have already used the xshanep19 (here) which is the only one I found that work on Locked BL. As the touch don´t work, I can't have USB Debugging, manage to have it Rooted or to install CWM. Any ideas?

I had already tried to rollback to 0.42, 0.58 and 0.587, including the Xperia Active Rom. As I said, the other topics methods won't work because I don't have how to flash a Kernel.

I'll do what I can since the warranty is broken. One time I had a battery problem, and I needed to buy it myself, they say it was my fault just because it had a scratch on it's bottom... And by the way thanks for all

Oh That's sad but what i think is that if there is no such physical damage on the screen or the touch panel with cracks or any other damages then you'll break your warranty if there is no such physical damages then i'm pretty much sure that you can report to Sony if they dont get it done... (NO OFFENSE...) This can br done if you are in your warranty period.. :angel::angel: :good:
All the Best... let us know if its a temporary problem or else you have bricked your touch!

Well, furthermore I had bought it on March-2012, so I think that th 1-year warranty is finished. I don't want to buy other cellphone But the touch has just stopped working yesterday right before flashing th TouchWiz (ICS) over the 0.58 (GB).
I have reinstalled PC Companion, but it keeps on the same. The older version of SEUS (with repair button) doesnt seems to work on Win8! There´s anything else you know I could do?

did you flash a ICS kernel first?? Well if you are on a LOCKED BOOTLOADER can't help but i'm so sure that you can you can relock your bootloader even if you Unlocked your bootloader.....(I relock my bootloader very frequently to test my ROM builds )so try unlocking bootloader and flash the stock .587 ICS and then flash that ROM and you shoudl be getting your touch back :fingers-crossed:

My cellphone is impossible to Unlock Bootload. About the ROM, here is what I done
1. It was on the Official 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware, which is GingerBread based
2. I rooted, installed CWM but still on 0.58
3. I downloaded the TouchWiz ROM form here, that is made to Both BL and Ice Cream Sandwich base
4. It bricked, my guess is that the Kernel from SE Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 is not compatible with ICS, so I should have updated to 4.1.B.0.587 that should update its Kernel to support ICS. Here it still entering on CWM but the touch buttons refused to work on it.
5. So, I unbricked the cellphone with the Xperia Unbrick Guide, and installed the 0.58 again, what made it boot, but still no touch.
Since that I flashed and reflashed ROMs thru FlashTool, including the ST17i and ST18 that were recommended in other topics, but still no touch. I really don't know what else to do, since i can neither activate USB Debugging nor acess CWM that was lost on this mess.

Hi
I am noob in xperia&android configuration i have sony ericsson xperia mini and i want to install last ics custom rom and i want a guide step by step not some words what to do .. I have searched a lot for a thread like that for xperia mini but i didn't find
Help me please
To install a custom ROM you need to unlock your bootloader. Follow THIS tutorial.
Also, official ICS for mini has not been released yet. You could want to wait some time, or you can install a custom ROM. It's up to you.
Also, you should edit your thread's title. It's a little bit too.. how to say... generic.

It is better to wait for official ICS to come for youe phone,if you don't know how to update your phone, I can help..
You may reserve my post for future use
1.First,download PC Companion from the internet (I would recommend SONY Update Service aka SUS but you're still newbie,so I'll give easy software for you to use)
2.Install it
3.After install,download Xperia Mini driver for your phone and install it before using the PC Companion (I only connect my phone to my computer and it install the driver automatically) (MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS IN MSC MODE,NOT MTP MODE)
4.After successfully install the phone driver,run the PC Companion (run with administrator? If you're on vista)
5.If the PCC ask for downloading the update for the software itself,let it be
6.After downloading update and everything is loaded,connect your phone through USB
7.Connect your memory stick to computer (if asked)
8.PC Companion will say update available for your phone if your phone got some
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
But think of this tutorial, do you want a custom rom or do you want only ics from sony?
Cause when you unlock your bootloader, you will lose your warranty or you must do it by testpoint method. There are some roms for locked bootloader too, but if you want to try all the roms for xm you will need to unlock your bootloader.
If you only want ics, wait a bit until the official ftf is uploaded and then you can flash with flashtool. If it is on there will be a thread for "noobs" too!

Yes. I've flashed this ROM, and my bootloader is locked.
You only need a unlocked bootloader if you're planning on flashing a custom kernel, and or any custom ROM. (E.G cm7, etc)
I had never used fastboot, flashtool, etc before, as i've always been a samsung, Odin flash a holic lolz. But I bought my Xperia mini as it's cheapest phone that money can buy that is ics ready ;-)
If you need help flashing, I'm the wrong person to assist, as I'm new to all this, but all I can say is that I followed a guide on the sony talk mobile site, and also here via flashtool thread and site.
Hope that helps.
For me, this ROM is running so smooth, and myself, after flashing, I hooked up the phone to pc companion and clicked the repair my phone option in the software update tab, to download the original files from sony servers, to make my rom 1 hundred percent legit and trouble free.
Only issue that bugs me, is that pinch ln zoom in the stock Browser is poor. The text isn't crystal clear straight away like how it is in gingerbread, but it's only blurry for a fraction of a second.
I've not adjusted anything yet to try and remedy it though ;-)
I wanna keep it as stock, and non rooted too, as I'm happy with it like so
I'll only unlock bootloader and flash cm9 once it's fully stable and no issues. Till then, stock is king in my opinion LOL.

Hello
When using this ROM the games controls doesn't work
i tried to use Angry Bird and BackStap

Same thing happens to me,I tried one game,and I can't press ok,or some other things.
What could be the problem?

I don't have this problem, and I've been playing angry birds, angry birds space a lot *confused*
Here's what I did :
Flashed ftf file, rebooted, reset back to factory settings, (data wiped), and once phone rebooted, I hooked up the phone to Sony pc companion, then clicked on update part. Once it said my phone was upto date, I clicked the repair phone option, that essentially triggers the original firmware to be downloaded from Sony servers.
This option data wipes during the Flash / repair option.
Once rebooted, I reinstalled my apps and games, then everything was okay.
I've noticed a few on Sony mobile forum site have this issue, along with camera quirks, and Sony themselves recommend the repair phone option in pcc.
A lot are reluctant to do it, as obviously you've a phone then with your apps missing, having to reinstall your apps and games from scratch, but it's worth it, as it does fix 99% of problems.
And isn't it any wonder I don't have the game problem, camera issues etc?
Pcc and the "repair phone" option is your friend; so give it a try ;-)

i have flash this firmware in my wifes mini and everything working very nice!!!
HEY GUYS! this thread is dedicated to the xperia u and xperia sola pink spot on camera issue.
this was originaly spotted on the xperia u, but seeing that the xperia sola would probably have the same camera lens and module, i thought that it would probably pop up on the sola too and hence have included it in this thread.
so lets get to the issue.
main issue- PINK/PURPLE spot seen on center of the screen when taking pics.
basicaly even on the camera preview, and on the taken picture, on the video preview and while taking video, there is a pink-ish or purple-ish spot at the center of the image. this spot some times is even yellow, and somtime, with low light, disappears..... here are some pics taken with it-

as u can see, when they are zoomed in the spots seem blue-ish...they appear purple on the phone. sometimes the spot is yellow. keep in mind that this problem developed 3 weeks after i bought the phone....it was clicking fine 3 days back....then suddenly i got this problem.... i have also heard of others getting this problem with the same phone. and since its 7 days since i bought the phone, they wont replace it....only fix it..it will be done under warrenty though
so pls...post here, with screenshots/pics if u can, if u have this problem. also mention details.. eg- when u got the phone, if it was there when u bought it, how i fixed it, what sony did to fix it....... i called sony, and they said i should take it to sony service center...and that others are also having this problem....so any other ideas?? also, i am planning to relock my bootloader before taking it for servicing.... so pls any help would be appreciated!
Definitely a hardware issue IMO. And this is the first time I have seen this kind of an issue .
Get it fixed ASAP
Hope Sony don't take too long.

i think that flashing official update will overwrite custom kernel too, btw yes the spot is gone updating to 6.0.B.3.162 using update service (i relocked bootloader)
i also RE Unlocked and RE flashed custom rom but at that point the spot appeared again, so is a problem of the build *.564
now i have stock firmware because i have locked again bootloader and reupdated to stock 6.0.B.3.162 waiting a rom based on it
(spot is gone again after official update)

so that means that prblm will always pop up if we flash a custom kernel/rom?
which in turn means that u cannot root phone without having spot in camera!!
i think i'll wait till ics update then:-/

What i found? : Through this forum search i found that this problem occurs if you have your Bootloader Unlocked or if your phone is Rooted. Searched on with the service number ( *#*#7378423#*#*) and Bootloader Unlock says "YES"
Q: Does it mean that my Bootloader is Locked or Unlocked? If locked then how come i cant access to SEUS for general update or how come PC COMPANION wont recognize my phone?
P.S : Thanks to Napster, Rogro and DoomLord for this great app -- SD CARD MOUNTER FOR XPERIA S

2. After i found out that i have root access to my phone (Found it out when i hooked my phone to flashtool ..yeah! m a noob!) i found out that i can manually update my phone by downloading stock roms. Hope am right on this one. Questions are..
a. My Xperia came with .73 Firmware. Do i need to update .75 before i can update it to .76 and so on? And whats the difference between Rooted/Pre-rooted/TW and NL?? Coz i dont think .76 firmwire has any generic ftf file on xda server :S
b. Can i update any ROMS on my Phone? As in ICS got Generic DE, NL and so on .. Need to know the differences too.
c. What is the difference between Custom ROMS and Stock ROMS?
d.My Rooting status still says that i have my Bootloader Locked .. it says YES (It does mean that my bootloader is locked right??) Do i need to Unlock my bootloader to update firmwires and stock roms through flashtool? Or should i just let it be?
Please do let me know..
Thank You
Regards

So long...
Don't need to unlock your boatloader if you want to flash stock only.
For other ROMs, you should. Only for miui you don't have to.
I advise you strongly to read the all you need to know post in development...

Through the picture you have been posted, I have a feeling that u've unlocked bootloader! And *#*#7378423#*#* said Allow bootloader unlock= yes: doesn't state that u've either unlocked or locked bootloader but it does tell you that u're able to unlock your bootloader! Once u've unlocked it, ur phone won't sync with ur pc, that's the reason why i've said that u've unlocked bootloader! To gain access to PCC or SUS again u must relock ur bootloader! To use flashtool u don't have to unlock ur bootloader if u want to update with official .tft., but u can't flash any custom kernels. Finally u can skip any updates if you want either on Official PCC or flashtool! Hope this would help!

Thanks for the updates and about the bootloader well i guess its unlocked. Though i face new problem, which is, i had root access before i upgraded my firware to .76 TW. Can you tell me how i can gain back my root access with .76TW STOCK firware? Cant use titanium or busybox anymore
If u want to gain back ur root access u need to flash custom kernel if u've unlocked bootloader! I suggest using Advance stock kernel v11 as it's more like stock kernel!

I had this phone from thailand. The bootloader was already unlocked and had a firware .73 of GB. I also had my root access back then. But today i downloaded the .76TW firmwire from Xda File server n flashboot it to my Xperia. The phone is running perfectly fine though i lost my root access but the bootloader is still unlocked. And yeah its still running GB 2.3.7 just with .76 firware with no root access anymore. Do i need to flash it again with KA Xperia prerooted TW .76 firmware? I dont wana use the ICS as one of my friend updated his Xperia S with ICS n now he cries every now and then .. Anywayz, Heres the screenshot with .76 firmware running GB 2.3.7

Well, when I read it, I got past the stage you are at. Follow it one by one, use the same stuff and then when you get how it works really, you can ask questions.
You can even pm me if ya want.

If you just want to root your stock .76 TW firmware, here is what i would do:
- download the advanced stock kernel (GB) by DooMLord
- connect the phone to pc via fastboot mode (i.e turn off and then connect the phone to pc via usb with vol. up key pressed)
- flash the advanced stock kernel using fastboot command
- switch on the phone an wait for some time
- then extract kernel.sin from the .76 ftf and flash it using flashtool or fastboot command.
If you follow these steps, then you should have a stock .76TW firmware with full root acess! good luck :good:!

Hi,
I (rty'd) Rooted this device by thise Rooting method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
[Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31]
In the menu - i chose 3 while it looks like i had to pick 1.
Since them:
1) People told me that phone is off.
2) Calls are just hang off (not by me or by the anyone else).
3) 3G problems.
I tried to find the restore file by this guide: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2013/Jun/115
But i didn't find anything (is it make sence? or maybe bc's the Root procedure didn;t succeed ... i dont have the backup file?
Is there any way to get the factory rom+factory bootloader and cetera , for flash them to the device?
Please - need your "heavy tools" help here...:fingers-crossed:
Thank you very much!

O.k...so it should be:
1. Unroot...let the tool do the process...
2. Option 1...let it do the process and finish.
What is the chanse that this process can overwrite the files system (b.l, radio, rom...) and resolve the problem?

Hi,
Sadly - it didn't worked.
Do u know if i will flash a fresh stock rom with the Flashtool - it could make a fresh rom, overwrite files?
What is the right ROM STOCK for the Xperia P? Afraid to flash a wrong file/s.
Thank you.

Why not repair with PC Companion or install with SUS? I think they should get the right one for you.

Did not succeed how? Do you have unlocked BL?
But even if you do you cab still build the FTF from PCC files.

Only sucseed unlocking the bootloader.
I tried also to change the kernal (read it on another guide) but it just wasnt helpful.
I think that the solution will be ONLY by flashing the factory rom + factory kernel by the flashtool.
The question is how can i find the right factory rom?
Have to say that i quait afraid that i will flash the wrong files...

I did not suggest to unlock the bootloader, I just asked, because PCC would not update unlocked bootloader.
Have you tried SUS? It won't update unlocjed BL either, and won't even begin to update, I had a message telling I have a modified FW and it cannot update, but PCC only fails after it download the files.
What error did you get in PCC?
"Factory rom" vary from country and service providers if it sold with a contract. Which ROM exactly do you need?
Which FW version do you have now?

Hi,
Good news...hope so
I canceled the Root in bootloader -> then updated the rom with the updating software of Sony and the process finished without any issues.
Till now it looks good...but w'll need to have more then 8 hours of use to know if it did resolved it.
But it looks like a good and maybe we could be optimistic:good:
Thanks so much for your helping desire - all along!
I your FW version is 6.2.A.1.100 and you wish to root use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit it's easy and no brainer.
