Try helping yourself by giving the details of what you've actually tried to install.
Answer
i do all of the levels step by step and correct , but i steel have problem , first use 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' for flash the cfw kernel and then install the rom from recovery after full wipe , it's compelete but touchscreen not work
ur not giving too much info so its kinda hard to help
BUT i think ur in the recovery and saying touchscreen doesnt work...... can u boot into ur rom using your hard keys?
what rom did u try and install?
Answer
no no , it's possible i'm not in recovery , i say my phone is loaded and up and is in the rom lock screen , yes hardware keys are work corectly , the sound(speaker) is working too because i can dial to my phone but i cant answer the call and i cant unlock touchscreen because touchscreen not work,i try many cfw roms like miui , blend miui , cm fx045,046 and etc , but i still have this problem (touchscreen not work), only the roms are based on official rom work on my phone like se tweaks. my rom version is 0.42 , baseband 56
Try reflash your rom and kernel.

I suspect you're not reading the instructions properly, so pick 1, READ EVERY WORD of the installation instructions, then read them again at every step of the process.
Answer
i'v do it step by step and correct, it's useless , i'v do all of instructions in this site and some other sites , but still have touchscreen problem
You maybe doing all steps.....but you missed something.
If stock working, and any other custom roms dont working, then you missed something.
Not correct firmware, wipe, kernel or etc...

just so u know its probably a kernal issue. ur probably not flashing the appropriate Kernal for the roms ur installing
Answer
What can i do? please help me, i try all of the ways i know and other's say to me ,,but it's useless and i'v still this problem (touchscreen not work)
I do not know if it helps, but my self I also observed problems with Touch!
It is mainly on the border of the screen especially on the bottom.
It seems that the calibration of the touch is shifted a bit!
I have a LT 18i and opened bootloader and rooted. I use the SAOSIN-MIUI with Doomlord-Kernel for MIUI.
In the Thread for that MIUI also others mentioned problems with touch.
So the problem is maybe real.
It would be usefull to have a tool to "calibrate" the touch...
I'll leave the custom rom stuff to you experts here but what you can try is to use Update Service to flash the phone with official software and then try all over again.
Install Update Service,
http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1317636927/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.10.7.exe
It might be that the program will tell you that the current software is detected as unofficial and that Update Service for this reason will not be able to proceed - but no harm in trying.
Hi Guys,
Just had my Sony Arc S, love the phone, I previously had a Samsung GS2 and Desire and fiddled about with them rooted custom firmware etc.
Problem is I'm finding the Arc quite confusing here are some questions below hopefully someone can help, btw I have done a lot of reading before posting this but I'm still confused.
1. Is the Sony Arc "S" unlocked with regards to the bootloader?, I have checked with the *#*#7378423#*#* sony give and mine says allowed "yes".
2. I would like to install a better kernel (maybe doom kernel?), can someone recommend one, also im currently on 0.42 should I be going to 0.62?
3. In what order must I unlock bootloader, root, and install kernel or custom rom also how will I get CWM on?
4. Whats the easiest method of unlocking the bootloader, and rooting I have seen zerg one click does this work?
5. Will I have to partition my sd card to use link2sd or any other app to sd app if so what ext and swap do I need?.
Basically I'm really confused the GS2 was a lot more straight forward than the arc, the 0.42, and 0.62 is that the original kernel and if so if I installed doom kernel would it just write over it?.
What I would like is to make my Arc S the best it can be in terms of free space, speed and battery, I really like the Sony OS and dont really think ill be putting a custom rom on there as I like the sony widgets also unless someone can recommend one.
Also I'm looking forward to ICS coming out in march, will I be able to officially upgrade after unlocking the bootloader and rooting?.
Thanks kindly guys for all your help

1 . Bootloader is unlockable.. but not unlocked.. you'll need to go here to unlock it.
2. Latest version of doomkernel is very good.. I'm running it overclocked to 1.6Ghz. following the instructions on his thread for that.
3. You should unlock the BL then install the the f/w you want..then install the kernel.. then if it's not pre-rooted.. root it! Think Doomkernel is pre-rooted actually!
4. Not required!
5. If you're using the Android facility to move apps to SD you don't need to partition.. you only need that for link2SD..
Hope that helps!

You should also install the latest version of V6 Supercharger to make your home screen stable and smoother..
There's a few tweaked versions of the SE system on the dev pages if you fancy a try..
The SE stuff is actually dead easy once you've done it a couple of times..
You should also download x10 flashtool which makes it easy flashing roms (standard SE ones from different regions, or tweaked, or completely customised!)
and yes - you'll still be able to upgrade to ICS.. just not through the Sony update service - you'll have to wait til someone posts the new firmware on here (which will usually be within about 5 minutes of it being made live!!)..
Hi Iceman,
We only need goose now LOL.
Im Still a little confused is 0.42 and 0.62 the radio then?, does that mean I can unlock bootloader then upgrade radio to 0.62?.
also how do I install the doomkernel without having clockwork installed must it be done through adb?
with the SE roms you say there are some tweaked ones out there any good ones you have tried?
I will def take your advice and install V6 Supercharger to hopefully make it run smoother.
I came from having the GS2 which I loved but I sold it on for £310 and got a very reasonable contract with the arc s, tbh I love the look of the phone and the SE OS, it is IMO much nicer than touchwiz, but I do find it lags slightly when there are lots of widgets on screen.
Anyway thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated
Hi - I'm only using stock SE firmware, which I'm then tweaking myself - with things like v6, removing unwanted system apps etc (using titanium).
.42 and .62 are the firmware versions... there are also basebands which control the radio and they end with . numbers too.. but you needn't worry too much about that initially.
once you've unlocked the boot loader you can download the kernel and put it in your adb folder on your PC.. then type fastboot flash boot filename.img (where filename.img is the actual name of the kernel you've downloaded and stored in your adb folder).. this will flash the kernal onto your phone...
V6 is awesome.. I've selected the options make the launcher "bulletproof" and "balanced 3" for the memory management.. The only thing that holds the arc back from being as good as the SGS2 is the lack of memory (which is why V6 is so good as it sorts out the memory management really well).

(PS - you can be my wing man anytime!)
Haha (you can be mine LOL!)
Right things starting to clear up slowly LOL, I've just connected my phone now and PC companion is asking me to upgrade to 0.62, should I do that first then unlock bootloader then kernel, I think i'll be like you and just tweak the stock rom rather than installing a new one as I think there's not many out there that are hugely improved.
I like the idea of removing all the crap apps though and will look into that as long as I dont **** anything up LOL.
Thanks again buddy
No worries.. go for the upgrade.. it'll be easier than doing it after you've unlocked the BL..
If you use titanium you can freeze stuff before you remove it altogether to make sure the phone works ok without it!.
Just one thing I've thought of.. is your Arc S unbranded? you may not be able to unlock the BL via the SE unlock tool if it is BRANDED..
Yes the phone is unbranded, a little worried as some peps are stressing when they upgraded to 0.62 with regards to rooting, this is really whats confusing me, dont want to upgrade then not be able to root or unlock BL etc thats why I asked
didnt know that about titanium thats handy! lets me mess about LOL
don't worry about rooting... if you unlock the BL and instlall doomkernel v18 you'll have root.. I'm running .62 and fully rooted via the kernel...
in any case you can always use flashtool to change the firmware back to .42 if you want to!.. flashtool works in the same way as SEUS or PC Companion, only it allows you to choose which firmware to install..
---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------
The bootloader and kernel sit "beneath" the firmware (.42/ .62) so it's not affected by what's above it in the stack.
Brilliant thanks for clearing that up iceman, so its upgrade to 0.62 then off to unlock BL, install doomkernel v18 via adb, custom rom if wanted or remain on stock and install supercharger, then titanium backup freeze apps trial and error then time to get rid of crap apps thorugh file explorer.
Sounds good, hopefully it will all go well.
All your help was much appreciated
No problem. You can also uninstall apps through titanium too (including system apps)... It's pretty powerful!

Well managed to upgrade to .62 and unlock BL, install Doom Kernel and wifi modules and have started to remove some bloatware using Flo's tut, was just wondering if the following apps could be removed?
facebook music and vids & games & apps
livewire manager
video unlimited
Also had a look at the tut for super charger v6 and looks really compilcated is it def worth having on the phone?
Finally if I was to do a full reset after removing bloatware would .62, doomkernel, root etc all still be there and would removing bloatware cause anything like bootloops etc?, just want to be on the safe side just in case I need to restart the phone.
Thanks Iceman
I'd keep the liveware manager.. the others you can get rid of..
V6 looks quite complex, but if you just step through it it's not so bad... a mate of mine did a detailed tut for it here... might help.. you probably only need section 3 though!
If you did a factory reset it would leave the kernel and .62 firmware, think the bloatware would stay gone too..
Hi iceman,
I've pretty much done everything to my phone apart from the supercharger, thanks for the link i've looked into it and it doesnt seem that hard but i've come up against a problem.
I recently bought a gold sim card number from ebay and ported it from vodafone to my current sim virgin, the number got ported so when I phone it comes up with my new gold number, but my arc keeps on displaying my old number in the contacts and its really confusing me so I've tried everything, battery out, simcard out etc etc this didnt work. So I decided to full factory reset the phone and reset everything as well, it did as you said on your previous post and kept 0.62, doom kernel and most of the junk apps were gone but not all, anyways on testing everything was ok apart from the wifi not connecting and also the home key doesnt work??.
So again i've tried factory reset, putting all the junk apps back in, battery out and even flashing doomkernel again but nothing, i'm kinda wishing I was back on stock right now LOL.
I know these may be tricky problems but do you have any advice with regards to the sim card number and also the home button and wifi problem?, ps home button does function as it works in CWM.
Thanks a lot
Mav
Hi! First I think I can help you about Wi-Fi. Did you forgot to instal MODULES for DooMKernel (v15 onwards)? Don't know what your homebuton problem might be.
And my questions:
1.Can I change baseband from -36 to -64 at any time, or must I flash whole ROM or Kernel again?
2.Will I be able to uninstall V6 Supercharger if I want to?
3.How could I made whole backup of my ROM (using arconium 6.1)?
1. Yes, just flash thecrequiered libs
2. Yes, there's an uninstall option.
3. Using clockwordmod recovery

The phone number problem is an android issue - nothing to do with the phone per se... you'll need to put your new sim card into a different non-android phone and update the "my phone number" settings... (I used my old Samsung Tocco!)..
Wifi - you may need to re-install the wifi libs as per SEK610i's suggestion..
Regarding home button... mmm.. never seen that before!.. have you got root explorer or other file manager?
Have a look in here... /system/usr/keylayout/pm8058-keypad.kl
does key102 say "home wake_dropped" next to it? it should!

Hey Iceman,
Thanks for the reply, I had modules installed for wifi. Didnt know that about a ported number only problem no old phones LOL, nevermind will have to just add a new my number 2 or something.
Anyways managed to sort the home key issue, after installing arconium 7.02 beta, I installed arconium 6.01 and all works well.
I should have done this at the start rather than delete the junk apps myself as arc 6.01 works really well.
Infact I have setcpu installed the phone is on brazilian wax and it is as smooth as the GS2 now, even with a big live wallpaper for the background.
So I'm really happy now, I also installed volume + to try and sort out some sound issued im having basically the microphone is a little crackly and vibrates when listening to some songs and youtube vids, volume + has improved it a bit, I know its not my phone as my previous arc s also had it and I sent it back thinking it was faulty, although that was also restarting itself from time to time too.
Anyway thanks very much for all your help you've been a star mate!.
always happy to help a 1990's throw back top of the class, american fighter pilot, like myself!
hehehe
sorry If you drop your coffee its just me and goose doing a flyby!
Hi Iceman,
Any chance you could help please?,
Just managed to create my own Rom I know unbelievable right?, well I used bits and bobs from the Arc rom, used dooms kernel, and bits from themes and new s apps etc and tweaked a bit with lovely new themes and voila perfect.
problem is being too much of a smart arse I formatted my sd card just as I was about to install an updated leaner rom that i'd made, so i decided I would just connect the phone up to fastboot and install the rom from there.
Well I thought the system command was to install a rom, so i typed fastboot flash system "my roms name and .zip at the end it erased then wrote quite quickly and alarm bells started to ring cos I thought no way thats installed a rom.
Anyways I just get doom kernels logo now and nothing else it wont go further for me to get into CWM.
Although its allowing me into fastboot so hopefully its not bricked.
I'll post this question in main thread also, as I'm stressed LOL!
Cheers
Mate
Hey guys,
I am newer user, I have a completely stock phone. I was running ICS but once I heard the JB update was rolling out I couldnt wait so I decided to manually update it via the link in the other form. Everything works completely fine. Except for the fact that If I use the app "Draw Something" it blacks out and I can not do anything. Needless to stay I uninstalled cleared cache anything I could to try to get it to work (as I play with the gf ... family etc..) I am still out of luck.
Is there a way I can get it working (which is what I would want) or a way to downgrade (and then maybe wait for my phone to get the official OTA? or do I basically have to root and use a rom now. I would like to stay stock if possible.. I like stock and have no issues with it.
I am also trying to not lose any phone data when making changes if possible -.-"
Is there anything I can do?!
Thanks!!
I do not think it is just you. There reports all over this thread that Draw Something does not work with this Jellybean.
Yeah, My brother wound up getting the update last night (the official one pushed to his phone, not forced) He has the same issue. I guess the best thing to do is wait for a patch..
However your link is broken to me =/ I could not find the thread you were talking about.
Sorry. I tried to paste a link to the search results of a thread but I guess that does not work.
Go to this thread and then use the "Search this thread" search box to look for Draw Something.
I think you just have to wait for an update from the app developer.
I'm a noob here, so plz don't flame me if this isn't posted in exactly the right place.
A few days ago, the 4 touchkeys across the bottom of my T989 suddenly stopped working, out of the blue. I don't know why.
When I bought my T989 in Nov2011 (my 1st android), I got it from a guy who bought it for his son, but his son decided he wanted an iPhone instead, so it was brand new with box and factory screen protector and all that, BUT already rooted and running GB 2.3.5 Juggernaut 3.1. Until now, I didn't want to mess with it because I didn't know jack and didn't want to f*** up my phone, so I've been operating flawlessly without any rom or FW updates for 14 months. But since it's f***ed up now anyway, it's time to get my android s*** figured out.
In the past few days I've flashed stock ICS 4.0.4 AFTER WHICH the touchkeys functioned normally UNTIL Kies said there was newer system FW, and so I updated to that with Kies, and then they didn't work anymore again. NEXT, I found out about the *#2663# code, flashed back to GB 2.3.5 and succeeded in updating the touchkey FW, but that didn't help. I opened the phone and carefully examined the touchkey hardware and (without removing the screen) everything appears perfect. It's clean and there are no pinched or torn ribbon connections from a screwed up factory assembly. Also, I have had my phone in a D30 case since day one and it's been forever since I've dropped it. Obviously, I don't know for sure if this is a hardware or software issue, but the fact that the touchkeys worked again after originally flashing ICS, and the touchkey lights still flash on at startup, is screwing with my mind.
The only thing left to try that I can think of is to revert to the older pre-Kies-update system FW (which, so far, I prefer), but I don't even know if that's possible. Can anyone give me a clue, or any other ideas? Thx.
I kinda lost track of your troubleshooting but I'll give u a suggestion.
1. Flash cwm 5.0.2.7 recovery
2. Flash darkside super.wipe script
3. Flash slim star 2.2 ROM
4. Flash gapps 10/11/12
5. Flash darkside cache.wipe script
6. Reboot and wait 5-10 min
7. Reboot again and setup ur phone.
If your soft keys quit working again, I would be stumped.
PS. I picked cwm 5027 cuz its what I use and if u have any follow up questions I could answer them. Twrp and others are just as valid. I picked slim star ROM because I can confirm everything works also if u have follow up questions I could answer them. If you do not have cwm5027 recovery then DO NOT used the two scripts I mentioned. Good luck

Okay, so, here's what I did:
Using TWRP Touch Recovery 2.3.3.0
Wiped cache, dalvik cache, system, android secure, and factory reset
Flashed slim star 2.2 ROM
Flashed gapps 10/11/12
Wiped cache, dalvik cache
Rebooted & set aside for 11 minutes
Rebooted & setup
It's weird, during bootload the touchkey lights light up (which they always used to with juggernaut), but only dimly, not full strength. But they don't respond to touch...so far...
I like this slim star rom. It's graphically minimalist, but it's loaded with options.

gapps 10-11-12
I guess the other 2 good things about this rom is that it allows me to have all the toggle controls in the status bar which I absolutely can't live without (only having five in the stock roms is like sandpaper on my brain), but also gives me a navigation bar that allows me to replicate the touchkeys I've lost with a replica software navigation bar directly above that I can set up with the same "touchkeys." It takes up some screen area, but I can bump the screen resolution to a higher density to make up for the lost real estate.
The only problem i'm having is with gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip, even though twrp said it flashed successfully, I don't have the google apps. I tried flashing it again, still no gmail, maps, navigation, etc. (The ones in Google Play I guess are the 121212 versions and aren't compatible.)

Your device is not compatible with this version
Yes, my hardware touchkeys still don't work. I've been slogging away at this for about a week now and I'm ready to give up.
I would run with this slim-star rom because I can put software touchkeys right above my inoperable hardware ones. Plus I really like the rom.
But I have a hurdle still.
Yes, I have the play store, but...
When I go to download the gmail app from the play store, it tells me "Your device is not compatible with this version" and it doesn't give me a download button. It does that for other google apps too.
So now the hurdle is google apps. Why is play store telling me this? Is there something wrong with how I flashed my slim-star? I flashed from a v2.2 found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109841.

It turns out that this is a common issue for people updating to ICS via kies. Although not everyone, a substantial number. I guess the only thing left is rolling back whatever u updated but idk how. Sry

Screen Resolution
Actually, I never updated to ICS via Kies, although I did let Kies flash some type of firmware update. I regretted it immediately.
The fact that I changed the screen resolution from 240 might have something to do with playstore not liking my device. I'm going to look into that. LCD Modder Pro might fix it...

Just download the multi DPI play store. It is because u changed DPI but if u use the modified play store ull be fine. No need for another app, that probably won't work anyway.

Hi,
Been using an Xperia M since Feb 22, and yesterday I experienced a touchscreen 'crash' for the first time: It seems as if no touch is detected. I panicked and eventually reflashed kernel and reinstalled CM (as per this) - problem solved (but lost data).
Just now the problem happened again and I reflashed kernel only, which fixed it.
I'm a noob, so what's going on here?
1) This is a software problem, right? Since reflashing kernel fixed it.
2) Is this some kind of problem with the CM build I'm using (see link above)
3) Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
Thanks for any help!
Well the same thing happened again. Kernel re-flash did NOT fix it this time.
Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this from happening? And anyone who may be able to explain why this happens?
Thanks for any insights
EDIT: A few reboots later it's fixed again. (just reflashed kernel). The previous times rebooting did NOT help.
in deveoloper options have you set the animations and transistions and durations to 0 ? i found this caused my touchscreen on my old x10 running cm10 to stop working
Sent from my C1905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No I haven't set those options
Ok, so, some updates.
I switched from PecanCM's CM11 build to FreeXperia (311), but the problem still happened, just a few hours back.
Maybe it's just some app that's not playing nice or something, but I have very few apps, and nothing weird, so I don't know what it could be.
Anyway, turns out that if I reboot the phone through Flashtool when the touchscreen is frozen, it FIXES it.
But if I "reboot" by removing and replacing the battery, or through SMS TASKS, this does NOT fix it.
Maybe this is useful to someone out there, and I'll post here if I ever figure out the problem
Well, maybe it's a hardware problem after all...
After about a million reboots, the problem persisted this last time. It even persisted after re-flashing boot, re-flashing ROMs (CM11 / FXP311/312, as well as Sony stock).
Guess it's back to the store...
Unless anyone else has any suggestions??
Thanks in advance.
Sony repaired the phone in 10 days, pretty fast!
They replaced a bunch of components, the touch screen and related stuff, so it seemed.
It's working now. Hopefully I won't have the same problem in 3 weeks.
As a final thought: Whenever the problem was "active" the touch screen also didn't respond in CWM recovery, so maybe that was a giveaway that it was NOT a software problem, but a hardware problem?
Thanks and hopefully I won't be revisiting this thread...

They replaced a bunch of components, the touch screen and related stuff, so it seemed.
It's working now. Hopefully I won't have the same problem in 3 weeks.
As a final thought: Whenever the problem was "active" the touch screen also didn't respond in CWM recovery, so maybe that was a giveaway that it was NOT a software problem, but a hardware problem?
Thanks and hopefully I won't be revisiting this thread...

Just out of curiosity, did they charge extra for the UBL?

Unlocked bootloader you mean?
I relocked it first. I unlocked with Flashtool and then could easily relock with Flashtool as well.
Anyway I wasn't charged a thing.

That's great. I thought that because you were giving your IMEI to Sony to unlock (at least with the official method), even if you relocked it they could still check.

Yeah I requested the unlock code through the official site so I guess they could have checked it.
But maybe I just never used it
