I had that problem too with IMEI.

But you should have the IMEI on the original box in which the phone came.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] wutzin:
I had the same problem with the IMEI after relocking my phone (I wanted to try PC Companion repair - which failed btw). Luckily I had recorded the unlock code - I was very proud of myself for being so organized ;)

But if you don't have a record of your unlock code, nor of your IMEI: can't you just take out the battery and read the IMEI off the sticker?

(I don't have my dead Mini with me now, but see http://sim-unlock.net/simlock/Sony-Ericsson/Xperia mini/ where they claim the IMEI is underneath the battery).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lekki01:
I've already had enough, so I gave the phone to be repaired.

Maybe it will work.:victory:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kostass123:
Thank you very much for your replies and your interest!

I took the phone to the "doctor" today. I don't think they will notice that I messed with its software as I relocked the bootloader and did a clean install of the latest official firmware with SEUS. So I will probably have it fixed for free.

I will keep you updated if something comes up!

Reflash base
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] neocyke:
Ah.. the drama continues...

I wonder how someguy's phone is coming along? Alduin should be bored with it by now. LoL.

Well, it seems the problem remains a huge mystery on how exactly the "fix" works if at all. From what I can remember the continuous flashing doesn't work. You need to disconnect the phone after every flash like wutzin said. I didn't really bothered after the 2nd flash. The number of flashes doesn't make a difference too methinks. I vaguely remember flashing my LWW about 12-14 times with different ROMs. Used hybrom / hybromans v10, v11, v16, v10, v12, v16 (in that order). the last V12 was the one that got everything working again. In between flashing the stock .62...

Oh, and about the panel replacement, I don't think it has anything to do with memory or whatnot. It's just them trying out different part numbers of the panel to see which works. The panel while being just 1 part, is made by a few companies and supplied to sony. Toshiba, tpk, etc. Now, the trick is getting the panel & driver loaded on the firmware to match. For example a tpk panel won't work with toshiba drivers (this is hypothetical BTW, it *might* work, who knows). Flashing in between would definitely fix a phone once you get the right combo.

Where I work, this is how they assemble touch capable lappies and even other hardware. You need to make sure the correct part is installed with the correct driver.

Anyway, best of luck and happy flashing folks. :P

will try out the script method tonight....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kostass123:
Ι just took my phone from the repair center!!

They replaced my touchscreen and did a "software update" i.e. they flashed the original 0.62 firmware which is, as you know, android 2.3.4

Of course I paid nothing as I had relocked the bootloader and they didn't noticed I messed up the phone's software :p

If you're having the same problem, and flashing the stock firmware and hybrom doesn't work for you, I suggest you take it to the repair center as well.

Judt relock the bootloader and install the latest official firmware with SEUS so that you can still have your warranty!

Oh... seems like my touch on SK17i is not working after a long period of rom flashing ....

However my soft buttons still works and the touch screen will work sometime

Just started flashing the rom and the touch work after serval hours of trying!!! :):):):)

Brilliant !!!

edit: I flashed ics firmware and ExMiui again afterward and restore all the backup

As the touchscreen is still barely working, out of luck I was able to do a screen calibration with the tool I get from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934500

( I used it every time I reboot my phone, although I think calibration is a one-time process ... But it seems it will help enormously)

And up to now the screen is working perfectly the way it was! (Hope it will keep on working)

But only try it if touchscreen is working but freezing occasionally.

Running sequence flash with .62

The links are a bit confusing, Im working on an Xperia ST15i and there is no list of consolidated .ftf files. :crying:

I hope there would be a solution to this.

I have the v12 and v16 but not the v10 for ST15i, may I ask for link please? ---> saw the link. Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jaymidnite:
Thank you thank you!!

When I thought I was about to sell my phone for parts (from almost all .ftf's and kernels- One final attempt:

--I started with a "locked bootloader" - forced pushed cwm-reg.img and installed superuser.apk - Here

--When I got the chance of going into recovery...

Wipe/Factory reset

Wipe Cache

Format System

Format Data

Format Cache

--Flash .62 ftf

--Fastboot XKernel

Boot into recovery

--Installed hybrom v10 (twice - what? I was hopeless and with a little faith made the 2nd install anyway)

--Booted into hybrom v10 (no response whatsoever)

Pulled battery (no way of turning it off)

--Flashed .62 ftf again and prayed (preparing to leave home and go to the nearest used-phone shop to sell my ST15i)

@ First boot everything was back to normal...

After 2 days I have a smile on my face...

ST15i touchscreen

i have the same problem hope you can help me

i unlocked the bootloader of my st15i phone then proceed on rooting my device

i manage to downgrade it to GB from ICS with no problem at all

i flash NEROICS but i didnt notice that this ROM already includes aroma on it

meaning to say i put in NEROICS ROM and AROMA installer separately on my sdcard

i managed to flash NEROICS ROM with no problem at all then i restarted my device and went to CWM to flash AROMA installer

it asked me to calibrate the screen which i did then all of a sudden calibration fails

so the screen didn't respond as expected now and the only thing which i can do toi set it up is to use the vol up and down and the menu key

after setting it up still the screen didn't work as expected

i tried formatting the system dalvic cache sd card etc via cwm and try putting in new ROM but still the same

i choose to relock the bootloader and put back the stock ROM hoping that PC companion or SEUS might fix the problem with my screen

but unfortunately when i restarted the phone its all black screen

SEUS and PC Companion able to detect my device but in PC Companion it recognized my phone but not its model (SONY XPERIA PHONE Connected)

i cant use my phone now and stuck in a blackscreen and SEUS or PC Companion wont help me at all

i cant root my st15i now as i relock its bootloader and icant unlock the bootloader because my phone displays just a blackscreen..and i no longer have the box of it and i cant find any alternative way to find its imei and unlock the bootloader..

pls help

i also tried flashing .62 multiple times

pls help!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
Twice I had this problem already....

Both times no particular method helped.

I don't know, I think it was the excessive flashing that reanimated my phone.

Like over 50 flashes of FW's and ROM's :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] badaas:
is there no real fix for this yet? did same, AROMA multi didnt see option! (aroma sux).

cant anyone compare the files from st15i & sk7i (pro) and list differences!

must be one stupid file in sk7i that doesnt exist in st15i!!!

going nutso here lol

also can someone confirm when you flash .62 after booting pro image, you install the .62 kernel or disable it?

could someone who has had success zip up all the files they used?

it seems like it thinks keyboard is out and disabling screen!? can anyone confirm this happens when keyboard is out? grrrr

This is my problem. I have xperia ray ST18i with custom firmware .42 which I get it here

I followed your instructions but no luck. I get stuck on SE boot

This is what I did

wipe data/cache/system via flashtool when flashing .42 firmware

flash kernel from FXP130-cm-7-20120719-UNOFFICIAL-urushi with flashtool

flash FXP130-cm-7-20120719-UNOFFICIAL-urushi ROM without wiping anything via CWM

boot into FXP130-cm-7-20120719-UNOFFICIAL-urushi , then turn it off, take the battery out(touchscreen still not respond)

flash .42 again via flashtool(see the picture)

It wont boot. Stuck at SE logo

If I flash other custom kernels with flashtool again then boots to SE logo an then is stuck or reboots.

I guess I need the right kernel to boot within stock firmware .42 to try my touchscreen

Does anyone know where can I find it.

OMS! I wish I had my spare phone! I would've readily flashed Neroics sk17i in my st15i and tried to figure out what is going so wrong in the device just by flashing a wrong Rom!

:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
this cursed touch problem happened to me twice...

Both times touch came back after repeatedly flashing firmwares and ROMs, trying diferent combos. And by flashing I mean crying and praying the phone doesn't die on me of that much flashing LoL. That's how many times I flashed and re-flashed....

And I got no clue whatsoever about what got it back :crying:

Second time this happened I flashed various firmwares, not just .64, so that tells me that FW version is irrelevant. Also the last thing I did before touch came back, was different then the first time, so I guess there's no real "method" for this...

It's really interesting though, that only hybromV10 for mini pro got my mini's touch buttons working, with touchscreen only partially working :eek:

give up

Hi, i just want to share my experience about this problem. i've been on the same situation. my phone is xperia mini pro sk17i. i've tried all solution people posted on this website including using wotan server that cost me 1,99 euro. i don't try installing hybrom or else cause my phone is locked. so i suppose i can't install custom ROM (am i right?).

so after two weeks of trying i give up and bring it to sony service.

They handle it quite fast. any mobile phone service here usually takes one week to repair but sony service only takes 3 days. they say something related to touchscreen inside the phone is broken so they change it. i'm not really sure what is it that broken and what makes me confuse is that i thought the problem is software since the problem happen AFTER update via PC Companion.

Repairing it cost me Rp 270.000 (about USD 27-28). quite expensive for a phone that only cost about USD 170 (for new) and USD 102 (for secondhand) here. considering of selling it and buy an htc phone.

sorry for bad english.

Hi everyone ......

Hi, I would like to share my xperience. I have exactly the same problem - after a bad flash on Xperia mini st15 I ended with non responsive display. For me worked the method mentioned on this forum:

a) flash stock .62

b) install rage kernel

c) install hybrid v10 for mini pro!

d) flash stock .62

The trick is that if the display is still broken you must start again from point b again. I did no wipe etc while installing hybrid rom. I have done it 5 time and everytime I ended in non-responsive display, at last it was just ok. I really don't know why, but that happen to me...
