Hey there.
it seems i have a big problem.
i just bought a new XU and first everything was fine...
i unlocked the bootoader and tried some roms... until i found one that was not working.
the instructions said i have to slash 4.0.4 stock... so i did...
since then rearly every rom (even the stock roms) arent responding to any touch.
there is a rom which i can flash that is responding... but for now its only one rom!
in recovery everything is fine its just the rom itself that seems to make problems...
what can i do?
even if i flash to stock the touch display is not working....
I have the same problem!

may be it is due to the hardware problem, u can test touch screen by typing *#*#7378423#*#* in your dialler!!!
or try flashing stock gingerbread via flashtool, it may help.
press thanks if i helped
The screen is working...
but only with this Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974430 and in recovery.
None of the FTF-stock roms is working for me.
I think it may be a driver error...
but etc/hw_config.sh is identic so no error here...
toch screen test is also passed...
There is no problem with the mentioned rom i.e. that network isnt working...
Hope someone can help
I too have the same problem sometimes..... I think it is the problem with the kernel
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
Same kernel, same base rom... one is working the other one dont...
compaired roms: st25i_6.1.1.b.1.100 generic - user_sony - Ultimate Z1
EDIT: i had some success... it seems that the problem is somewhere in the update-script... i copied the whole META-INF folder from the generic over the ultimate Z1 folder... and the touch worked! almost everything else didn't but this is a small success i think....

[Q] I really need some expert help on this guys!
<b>2012-03-23 updates on what further tests I've done:</b>
I've just flashed MT15i-Global.tft using latest flashtool in flashmode.
= did not work
Then tried wotanclient = did not work
Made fresh install of ICS beta(2different roms) = did not work
Please help me get my front cam working !
A few months ago the front Camera worked on my Neo but not anymore.
I cant really say if it just stopped working or had something to with flash of another rom.
I've rooted and flashed a number of phones before so i have some basics in this..
Currently running ICS on my Neo.
What I've tried to do to fix it.
1. Use SEUS but it said I have a modified android version and would let me restore...
2. WotanClient which restored it to .62 2.3.4. Failed at first attempt but succeeded at 2nd. >> front cam didnt work afterwards.
3. Tried other ICS roms and made several attempts.
The steps i took on installing another rom:
- installed fastboot
- connected phone
- run fastboot flash boot xxxx.img
- go into recovery
- wipe all, wipe cache, format system, dalvik and battery stats
- install xxx.zip
- up and running with non working front cam
Questions!:
1. How can I make a TOTAL restore of both bootloader, kernel, rom and everything to the stock firmware it got shipped with????? A step by step would be appreciated!
2. Any steps that I could have missed??
3. Anyone with similar problems?
4. How can I put it back to 100% stockrom to get warranty back and perhaps send on service?
FYI
The back camera also behaves strange on the ICS rom in skype/tango video call. It is miscolored.. On 2.3.4 it was ok.
Weird. Could this all be a firmware issue?
Can some provide all the tools i need to get it working? Or can I extract some logs or something that would help you find out if the front cam really is broken??
Where can I test the front cam or are there any appa to specifically test it in any way??
Desperate regards !

If it doesn't work after flashing official 2.3.4 firmware in flashtool with a full wipe, I'm out of ideas.
Does flashing with wotanclient really flash Everything?? Kernel, loader rom and wipes everything?? If the phone hasnt got a hardware fault something, it must be some step i did that sctewed something up.. Could try wotan again though but would rather have more people look into this before strarting flashing.
Afaik Wotan flashes / wipes everything and gets you back to clean Stock!
BUT, i already got problems wotan flashing / discovering the wrong phone type.
While i was trying out some different Kernels on my Phone (Mt11i SE NEO V), it seems that i picked a wrong Kernel and my Phone was showing me the Model Mt15i (SE NEO).
And even Wotanclient discovered a Mt15i...
Didn´t try the front camera at this point, but back cam was not working.
I tried to manually flash Mt11i Stock Rom/ Kernel (0.62) using flashtool.
Well flashtool did it´s work not completely, but far enough to reset the Model to Mt11i and Wotan flashed the correct Version afterwards.
My Hint, have a look at the Modellnumber in Settings, is it the right one ?

still havent got the issue sorted
front camera solution
Hello and sorry for continuing this thread, but i have a query about the front camera of xperia neo v.
As all the above, I have the same problem with my front camera and I was wondering if I could somehow get the camera's apk file from gingerbread (the whole camera application - which is believed to be the last application compatible with the camera),would this solve the problem?
I am addressing aspecially to the developers .....
If anybody knows a way to solve this, please send me inbox a guideline.
Thanks in advance.
:good:
May be below the info can help you about the stock rom flash
1. Find the bootloader locker ftf (firmware file) file for Neo from the Internet (else inbox me I will find and will give you. I have that file but it's Neo V only). Once you flashed this file then Sony updater service will reconognize your device and do the update properly
2. Install Sony updater service
3. Connect your phone and choose the phone model then update to ICS
Hit thanks if it helped

Hi,
I have a problem making JB ROM to work on my Neo V. My situation is like this:
I have an MT11i with unlocked bootloader. I was trying to install MIUI v5 with Fusion Kernel v5.5 (latest version i believe). The installation finished without any problem. But after the first boot, my touchscreen doesn't work. I can't even select anything on the screen. It's not responding. Only buttons such as back, home, menu, vol up, vol down, power and camera does work, nothing more.
Here's how i do it :
1. Flash stock FTF,
2. Flash stock FTF again - without kernel and baseband (as suggested in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273017&page=16 comment #155)
3. I flashed Fusion Kernel v5.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926299)
4. Rebooted into CWM and installed the MIUI v5 3.6.21_v2
5. Finished installation, reboot into system
6. Stuck at MIUI Welcome Screen
I know this question has been asked elsewhere in the forum. I did searched for it. But i didn't found any thread that had this problem solved. FYI, i also have tried every JB kernels that i know (LuPUS, Fusion, TWRP and so on) but always got the same result.
My touchscreen works flawlessly if im using any ICS based rom. But not JB rom.
Does anyone had any idea what caused this? Can i still have the chance to install JB into my phone?
You seem to be the only one with this problem. Could it be you have a hardware issue?

I am not sure if it is hardware issue. But why it would work without problem on ICS kernel and rom? I will try to get the logcat of it, though i think it would be difficult without being able to enable usb debugging on the MT11i.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Just now, i was able to pull the logcat output for several moments on the phone. Also, i have used AndroidSystemInfo hardware listing. But i am so new with reading the logcat file.
I have attached both file. See if someone could help me find out the cause.
I ended up using xperia ultimate HD rom 3.0.2 with Holo launcher. Turn up it did pretty well. Feels like JB though. Mybe i'll continue with the problem some other time. For now ill just be fine with this rom. Thanks anyway guys.

(Sorry for my english) Hi folks, I have a problem... using the search button I saw many threads talkin' about touchscreen's problems.
I tried with the many solutions over there, but my problem is different.
I installed the Legacy Xperia 4.3 Rom, after that, my phone starts to have problems with the touch.
When I used the sliding qwerty keyboard, touch doesn't work, but when I used my phone in vertical mode, it works for a couple of seconds.
Then, I remove the Rom and I used the 4.2.2 Rom from Legacy Xperia.
The touchscreen doesn't work even in the recovery menu. At first I thought that it was a hardware problem, but when I replace my touchscreen the problem still doesn't fix. I noticed another thing. I can't flash >4.1 kernels anymore. I tried to flash the same 4.3 kernel that bricked my touch and my phone doesn't boot at all. With another kernel, my phone turns on properly. Please, help me... :crying:

Yes... I tried many solutions, like Aroma method, Active ROM method, flash stock ics rom metod, but nothing changed. I think that my problem must be a software problem because now I can't flash any >4.1 kernel.

Try flashing the following combination :
Lupus Jb v7 kernel (link : http://goo.im/devs/wedgess/LuPuS-MPDI-Kernels/JB/mango)
Hepta Error Rom (link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336571)
I swear mini pro feels like its possessed or something (generally speaking )
For me, the LegacyXperia ROM and its kernel always gave problems with touch and my right soft key would go haywire. The only stable combination that worked for me is the one I posted above. Try it, and see if it helps!
Hello everyone, I was using ultimarom till now and it worked like a charm. Today I thought hey lets upgrade to android 4.4 so I found temasek's rom and it seemed fine. After flashing the rom, it got stuck on boot screen. So I reflashed the stock rom (btw I wiped everything as required) and it was working. So I retried flashing the Temasek's rom and it booted this time, only thing is that my touch screen was not responding. The capacitive buttons are working also the touch screen is showing everything but not responding to anything. I searched a little bit, and it might be possible that my digitizer is broken which I hope is not since I am in a different country and it will be a pain to do it here. Also I read that if you tried to install Note 2 kernel/rom this might happen but I know that temasek's rom is definitely for s3 so it shouldnt be the case for me. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I tried with both stock and temasek once again and the touch screen still does not respond. I always used cwm for recovery though, and did a factory reset on the stock recovery once to see if that works. I can flash ultima as well I suppose but I am not sure if that will fix it.
Edit: I tried to flash ultima but the installation steps required the use of touch screen so I could not proceed.
Are you sure that you download Temasek's rom for I9300 not for another model? Because Temasek supports more devices.
And on Temasek's thread I didn't find any user complaining about touch screen issue after installing it,so I think that you flashed it for different model.

Flash back to stock with odin if problem is still there then it is hardware issue....
I rechecked and it is temasek for I9300. I restocked ofc with odin and it is no use tbh. I mean it is weird as the first time I flashed stock rom the touch screen was not working for 30 seconds or sth than it started working so I was really happy for a second.. After another flash it was not working and I was like yea it will work soon, but it didnt. I tried with loads of roms and kernels and it is still no use.
Any help? I have no idea how to fix this! I may have to send my phone for replacement which will be costly I suppose.. Any little tip will be appreciated.

Didn't u install the new version of Cwm? I'm using ultimarom v16 & I try to use Android v4.4.2... It seemed good to me

Solution
Hey dude, I couldnt find any solution to that problem. What I did was to send it in for replacement but with warranty. For that you need to triangle away your phone and also install the official firmwares. I had to use a mouse in order to do that but you will need a usb to micro usb converter, which is not that hard to find( and also cheap). They couldnt tell that I installed unofficial firmware, I replaced my screen flawlessly. You can find how to triangle away your phone in this forum and also sammobile is the place to look for official firmware.
Cheers
