:( i am really desperate i cant make my touch screen work again, i tried all of the methods but no luck. i hope trying all of them mess up my sk17 even more.

Well after whole day trying to restore my touch screen i declare it dead, i just want to share my experience for future genreations (hehehe)

Fix 1: didnt work because you cant get any more at least in xda forum the 4.0.2.A.0.42-(CE) firmware for active i found it somewhere else but gives an error in flashtools

Fix 2: In my case choosing active firmware in ultimate HD didnt bootloop the sk17 boot normally but the touch screen and phisical keys didnt work only power button did it

Fix 3: In my case i wass trying to install a kit kat rom and actually succeded but when i try to use the keyboard the touch screen stop working i have to restar the cellphone to make it work again. So i try to install again that rom i flash the kernel but now the kernel dont boot up the cellphone vibrates but after that doesnt do anything else.

Fix 4: Hybrom_10 dont exist anymore, so there is no way to test it, but this method is very similar to another methods so i guess you can skip it and try another.

Fix 5: I install CM 10 flash CM 10 kernel, flash the CM 10 rom but again the rom boot normaly touch screen dont work phisical keyboard does.

Fix 6: Same result for fix 2

Fix 7: Step 1 to 6 everything fine, even i get the bootloop but when i flash the .431 stock rom... touch screen still dead. Try this method again but insted using LWW i use acctive same results

Fix 8: Again using active doesnt make the touch screen work.

Fix 9: Again everything fine, got the bootloop, flash stock firmware no luck still not working

Fix 10: The most confusing one but i am very sure i made it correctly, didnt work.

EXTRA FIX: know with no hopes i try nandroid backup from a previos rom i have it but again no luck.

So here you go, i dont really understand what is happening or if is there a fix for my case or if a have to buy a new touch screen, every thing with this topic is very obscure and there is no a 100% fix hell even a 50% chance fix.

I see this thread almost dead, but i hope this information help somebody else

Hello,

I found another possible fix. What I did was removing all touchscreen firmware files from /system/etc/firmware in a ICS stock rom zip. Touch just works in the rom afterwards. Can someone verify this?

Did you get an answer to your query?

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

Hi XDA members,

For ppl who have had success in fixing the touchscreen using any of the 10 methods, Can you confirm if the touchscreen worked for you in the recovery modes? Also, were both touch lights working?

For me, all hardware keys work perfectly but the touchscreen and the soft keys do not work in *ANY* mode. Also, the menu softkey does not light up.

This issue occurred simply out of the blue one morning and I was on stock ICS (India, baseband 77). I have tried all 10 methods with no improvement. The touchscreen does not work in any scenario even for the wrong ROM case.

Any guidance would be helpful.

Thanks.

Broken touchscren XMP w/ locked bootloader

Hi I'm new here but I have the same problem.

I have a XMP and flashed the wrong ROM, after that my touchscreen went dead. I've tried only fix #1 because I have a locked bootloader so all the other attempts were discarded from the start. Also, I've disassembled it and reassembled looking for hardware failure but to no avail, doesn't even flash ROM 4.0.2.A.0.42_CE, Flashtool returns ERROR. Right now it has stock ROM, rooted and CWM ready for new attempts. Hope someone can help.

Also, ADELMARZBAN, XperiaPisterMan, have you fixed it already? Please share any wisdom.

Final comment, I've seen people complaining that it's quite hard to get a hold of ROM 4.0.2.A.0.42_CE for Xperia Active to try fix #1. If someone's needs it to try that fix, tell me and will upload.

Godspeed

Flash Ultimate HD 2.0.2 with Xperia Active as device.

Reboot and check if touch works.

Either flash keyboard fix or flash UHD with mini Pro as device
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] j0112358132134:
UHD 2.0.2 anyone?

Thanks, but I can't find UHD 2.0.2, do you know if UHD 5.0 will work the same? Or it needs to be that specific version?

Also relevant and I forgot to tell I'm running GB 2.3.4 I was never updated, so I'm stuck there.

I'll try your method as soon as I can get UHD 2.0.2

Thanks.

Hi, I've tried, but got stuck in bootloop. I think it's something kernel related, so I won't be able to flash it properly anytime soon.

So, still got the same problems, but was worth the try. Thanks a lot, if you have any other ideas, they're welcome.

Check your touchscreen and flex cable. One of those things might be damaged and needs replacement.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] konekin:
I have the same problem with my XMP, because flash rom wrong or how I do not know, the top of the screen there is a notification does not respond at all to the touch.

after some time I read a tip to fix it, this problem can be solved eventually, this may also be able to fix the problem with your XMP

not much different, you are doing is flash wrong rom again

The following steps

1. Flash the stock ROM (I use .587 stock ICS ROM btw)

2. Flash MESA 4.8 kernel for your mango (meaning you should be in a state XMP unlock bootloader)

3. via CWM flash CUSROM having AROMA installer (I use Zelly Cream 6.0)

at AROMA select Xperia Active and complete the steps to flash until you reboot HH

4. wait for the boot process until the home screen appears, then check whether the touch screen can work well (in my case the touch screen is back to normal)

5. Turn off your XMP and flash back to stock ROM

that's the steps I use to fix the touch screen

I do not give a guarantee if you XMP will return to normal or increased damage :p

but, above steps I have tried and succeeded :D

however, Do It With Your Own Risk

good luck! ;)

Hi I have tried everything in this thread, but nothing works for me. My xperia mini pro touch screen still doesn't respond. Strange think is that it shows in aroma installer, that it is xperia arc or arc s. Has anyone got any idea? I am really frustrated by this thing and i will be glad for any advice. Thank you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kentchristopher:
Many thanks for this, Amir. I used these instructions to bring the touchscreen on ST15a (American version) back to life. Thank you for taking the time to share your instructions with the rest of the world! :)

For anyone else with this problem on the ST15a: I used the ST15i version of the 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM for step 4 and it obviously did the trick. (There is no .62 ROM for the ST15a).

Also worth mentioning for all Xperia 2011 device owners: I relocked my bootloader just to try doing a recovery with Sony PC Companion, assuming that the official recovery method would surely fix this problem if it were not a hardware problem. That was definitely not the case. I tried doing a recovery several times with no luck, which certainly says something about the quality of Sony's recovery software. In the end I had to re-unlock my bootloader (using the same official Sony method I had used in the first place) in order to try the methods here, so I'd suggest you not waste your time with PC Companion.

So your sk17i is running with the st17i? :)

You could just change the build.prop, but for that you need root. It's a file in /system and you can open it and change all st17i to sk17i :good:

There can be hardware failure too :(

Hey guys! I experienced the exact same problem (losing touch, recovering it after sliding keyboard, reboot etc..) but suddenly it didn't come back... I tried literally everything so I flashed my phone company stock ftf and went to the warranty guys (I didn't relock the bootloader, but they didn't seem to mind, notice or even knew about bootloader and stuff) and they got it fixed for me, IT WAS HARDWARE :(...

So I wanna know if it's something that happens only to power users, like something we do on software physically breaks the touch... Or defective phones? WHO KNOWS? hahaha This is weird guys, really... But the thing is that maybe we could make some post to organize between hardware and software symptoms... REGARDS

Yes it is !!! :laugh::good: so now you HH have works to normal ??:laugh:

My sk17 had the same problem of losing touch after sliding keyboard, FCs, but then it got worse and after sliding the keyboard, the screen went awry and no image appears anymore (only the backlit works, but no image or touch works). I guess it's a hardware defect, as trying to flash different kernels didn't help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xhanafix:
Oh crap.after almost 2 years without a hitch of problem now im dreaded with the rest of the touchscreen issue.

Went to sleep. Wake up the next morning and i notice i cant excess the notification area while opening the keyboard. So basicly if i close the keyboard the touchscreen work normally.

Feeling kinda of weird, i wipe everything and then flash fxp214 cm9 again and thought that things will be ok. Reboot

Crap.now the soft button and touchscreen also not responding. Went back to cwm and wipe everything but still no soft button working.

Next i flash everything stock that is available for sk17i but seems nothing works.

So my bedroom wall,meet your new challenger, a useless sk17i without a working soft button and touchscreen.

Goodbye sony. Not buying a sony product after these.

Btw i tried all the method posted but none of them work. The community here is brilliant and somewhat helpfull.

But im dissapointed with sony and how they ditch the patch for our ics bugs and resolve the touchscreen issues.

Hi

With this method you can fix your touch problem if you flashed a wrong rom

Things we need:

Flash tools

Rage kernel gb

Stock .62 firmware for your device(ftf)

wrong rom that bricked your touchscreen

What should we do:

1:flash your device gb .62 firmware*

2:flash rage kernel

3:flash that wrong rom again

4:if wrong rom was ics,rom will not boot then remove the battery to turn phone off then flash .62 firmware again if it was gb,do the same work

5:wait until stock rom boots the touch will be fixed

6:if touch screen fixed,press thanks button

I tested this method two times and worked

Devices that unbricked with this method:

Mini

Mini pro

Mixed idea fix st15i touchscreen 100%

my ways of repairing st15i using ROM and KERNEL .. I have ideas all the mixes here do this: -

you must have this thing

a) Flashtool

b) st15i firmware 62.ftf

c) range kernel v2.7

d) spartan_v2.0.5

e) hybrom_v10 sk17i and minihybrom_v12 st15i

all your roms install to sdcard.........

1.flash st15i 62.ftf and wipe right together (data, cache and system) after you flash just now, do not turn on the device ... ok ..

2. after that you have to go to the fastboot mode to KERNEL (range kernel v2.7) for the flash .... after pressing the switch on the device and the available volume down repeatedly for the CWM ... and go to install zip from sdcard to flash rom without wipe anything whatsoever, just install Spartan_v2.0.5 rom it right ... in the rom go to ACTIVE st17i in. .. after complete reboot system .. when already on .. you feel and response to a little is not it ..turn off your phone and remove the battery ...

3. you have to go to my first steps as mentioned above .... once with the right flash range kernel v2.7 ..... remember never to turn on your phone

4. go to CWM and do not wipe anything ..install Hybrom_v10 rom .. after it finished .. reboot .. wait until the menu .. you will feel the vibrations and work a little .. off ... remove the battery ..

5. and go to CWM for the third and final ... indeed it is tiring but fruitful .. Alright do not waste any more time we go .. so you have to install from sdcard .. flash Minihybrom_v12 .. wait until finished .. reboot ..

you will feel your phone touchscreen works but not like it used to ... at least it works for the next .. do not flash right STOCK rom st15i temporarily ... but you can upgrade to Minihybrom_v16 now i use ..... This time I can share my ideas for friends here .. best of luck,, so thank you ....

I accidentally flashed Pro ROM for my Mini Pro. i know, that was the stupidest thing i've ever done

I already tried all of the fixing methods that's on the first page, i fixed my Mini Pro by choosing Active's ROM and flashing the keymap for its hardware keyboard via CWM.

but when i flash it with stock firmware, the touchscreen is still not responding.

I know that i already solved my problem but with Active's ROM, i feel like my phone's performance is not as good as it used to be

Hello!

I must share my own story!

I've an XMP, and i use Ultimate HD ROM 2.0.2 with GOOD settings. Once the touchscreen and soft buttons gone wrong, but after a little time it works again. But 3 days ago it's gone finally.

I found this post and i tried ALL of the fixes, and this is the result:

fix1: can't flash active rom to XMP (ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ER R_STATIC="IMAGE_ADDRESS_RANGE";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN-block eraseblock mismatch"; w and w/o no final verification)

fix2: not working

fix3: not working

fix4: for mini only

fix5: not working :(

fix6: still nothing -.-

fix7: again... nothing =/

fix8: not working

fix9: not working

So still my phone is just a brick :( After it i disassemble the phone to check the cable of the screen but it's OK.

Main parameters:

Xperia Mini Pro

last ROM + kernel: Ultimate HD 2.0.2 (WITH GOOD SETINGS) and KrSH kernel v3.0

SI 1249-0742

Is there any other fix that may works? Or I must bring it to Sony Service? I also try "Overheating Issue" fix but it's also not working.

Thanks 4 your help! :D
