Hi, I urgently need help,
I was just watching something when I kept hearing a strange noise, turns out it is the vibrate that the phone does when you turn it on, I looked at it and it was on the Google logo and kept restarting, tried a battery pull, taking sim out etc, and it's still doing it.
I have no idea why it's doing this as I haven't rooted or installed any custom roms or anything?!
I have an interview tomorrow in London and really need to have Google Maps etc, as well as being able to contact people I'm supposed to be meeting! I can't believe this has happened at all, let alone at this moment!
Edit - I'm using the GSM version, running 4.0.1.
Thanks in advance
Bump..
There is something called odin which you can use to flash the stock rom, is that correct? Or fastboot?
I suppose what I want to know, is if you can flash the stock image without being rooted/having an unlocked bootloader? And does it have to be a certain image file?

You can used odin to load a stock image and it will return the phone to the day you got it. You can also use the adb/fastboot method. Search the forums here and you will find very clear instructions for both methods.
Same happened to me a while back and was easy to fix.
Good luck.
Ok thanks!
Edit- Ok I fixed it with the ODIN method, instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20302409&postcount=2

Did you backup your TA (Trim Area) with Omnius before you had these problems?
If not, your best bet is spending $24 with Alejandrissimo to fix your problems.
(It sounds like your TA is screwed up, so reflashing anything won't help (as you already tried))
(They had this problem when the R800x was first unlocked, but it hasn't reared it's head for a while)

Is it overheating? If not then it's probably the system getting overloaded and the kernel taking a crap. It happens some times unfortunately

Hello All,
First time post and as an offering, I will say 'thanks' to anyone that responds in a positive manner to my post (trying to win some friends) :laugh:
Here's my issue, I have an Arc S LT18i.
Unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Whenever I flash anything custom the touch screen fails to respond, i've flashed LupusV7, slim bean 3.1 and 3.2 (with arc fusion 3.6 and 4.5) and Super Jelly Bean. All seemingly start without any issues and the physical buttons work no problem. BUT the screen refuses to work in anyway at all!!
I have made sure I wiped the system, cache and delvak (sp?)
Any help greatly appreciated, I am a NOOB but underneath it all I'm just trying to make the most of this wonderful Arc S...
Anything you want to know, please ask away...
Please help.
Namaste
Ricky:fingers-crossed:

Hello and thank you for the reply...
I flashed stock ICS .587 (world india) from this site talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
Does that count as stock ICS .587?
And then followed the rest of the instructions, the exact same thing happens... buttons work but the touch screen does not!?
Any other ideas please? Or does anyone else have a suggestion?
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me.

Hello, thanks for the reply...
According to the Slim Bean page, I can use ANY kernel with that rom. But also, if I just have the Lupusv7 Kernel on there, the touch screen doesn't work within that, so not a ROM/Kernel conflict I belive.
I've also tried other Kernel/ROM combinations, same thing keeps on happening. Touchscreen works 100% with a SE restore, stock ROM.
Any other ideas please??

It's best to use the recommended kernel as stated on the ROM thread. Try another kernel and see how things go.

You sure you installed device-specific patch / chose correct phone in AROMA?

Hello,
As previously mentioned, the reccomended kernel is Lupusv7, When i flash this Kernel into recovery mode, all looks well but as it has a touch screen interface this still doesn't work!
I'm presuming that it cannot be a conflict as it's happen before I instll the new ROM etc... the touch screen doesn't even work within the GUI of the Lupusv7 kernel.
I can get multiple ROMS to load with different kernels but so far, none have booted with the touch screen working!!
I am very much a noob but have read loads of articles on how this should be done, unless i'm missing something very obvious which isn't stated then I dont see anyone else having this issue.
Any clues people? :good:
Thanks, Ricky

Hello Someguyfromhell,
I haven't used AROMA, the guides i've been reading haven't mentioned this!?
This is the process I went through:
flashed stock ICS ROM
flashed kernel
wipe data/cache/davlik
flashed rom
rebooted, ROM loads up and the touch screen doesn't work.
Any help you can give me on AROMA, links etc?
I'm looking right now, but a 'leg up' would be great.
Thanks for the reply.
Ricky
here what to do
- Make sure you had installed Official 4.0.4 ftf pack
- When flashing official ftf pack remember to exclude / tick these things:
1. simlock.ta (Exclude TA)
2. Kernel.sin (Exclude kernel)
3. FOTA (Exclude FOTA)
After flash successful, power on your phone and let it start completely
- Now you can start to install any ROM
1.Flash the Recommended Kernel: Vengeance , KTG Anzu , RUSH
2. Place ROM on SD card
3. Power off the phone and boot into CWM
3. Backup and restore > choose Backup
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Mounts and storage > Format /system
6. Advanced > Wipe battery stats
7. Install zip from SD card > Choose the rom
8. if rom uses aroma Follow on screen instructions on AROMA, remember to choose "Unlocked bootloader" and also the correct kernel modules and of course the correct phone model
9. After complete installation tick "Reboot" and let the phone restart
10. Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy ur phone !

Then did you install the device-specific patch?
ok man, you've got the same problem like me
First thing, all roms that make your touch screen doesn't work will based on cm (e.g. cm10, slim, any jb).
and ALL STOCK roms will get no problem.
There's lot of people here got this problem and still has no clue why this problem occure to ours, so sad story.
Someone says that the touch screen firmware sould be updated to the lastest version, but i don't know how.
One solution that i found is, remove the battery to turn off then turn it on to reboot again and again. If you lucky enough, the touch screen will work like a miracle!
and the success rate is also <50% ( based on my experience only)
AROMOA guide?

on all the ROM guides, I have never seen a part where it says i should install a device specific patch, do you have a link to where these may be?
Or even a ROM with guide where it says this? I'm very happy to follow that to get this working. I have no preference to CM10, Slim Bean, Racing Bean etc... as of yet i've not been able to use any of them.
Thanks for the continued response.

This solution is the one that i think it can move some files which related to touch screen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34593771&postcount=23
But sorry, it still get sometimes for the touch screen didn't response :crying:
However, as i mentioned above; you can get ALL jb rom working :fingers-crossed:
But depends on your luck. Just turn it off when the touch screen didn't response, then turn it on again (and again) untill it work.
I hoped that the new linux kernel will solve this...

I have same issue have tried many stock based roms and kernels no problem but any CM based rom I have no touchscreen.
You can reboot and about 1 in 5 times it will work
Maybe it only affects certain versions of the phone. I even tried re-locking bootloader and doing official sony update then tried CM again I tried 7.1,9 and 10
same problem.
Here's where I am...
UPDATE:
So, here is where I am. Using advice from previous replies I have managed to install Xperia Ultimate HD and this is working off of the Lupus kernel without any issues. I'm still unable to get ANY Jelly Bean roms working...
Maybe my device will just not work on JB :crying:
Any other tips or tricks are greatly appreciated, would love to get JB working on here my beloved Arc S.

Where would I look at getting the original one that was gingerbread or first releases as ftf i have is .96 baseband
XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf
Also took phone to shop and they even advised it is some software glitch bug hes had a few people with the same sort of problem and its sony that needs to fix it he was on about some part of the software when flashing is not being wiped out and re applied with new stuff and have to remove the files he even checked to see if the files where their and he said well its not that as plugged phone into a reader and shows the files being removed and re applied from new flash.
What other onces besides the XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf I have is their ? might jsut get every single one of them starting from oldest to new n seeing if any work.

I know its not hardware related as I see my wifi option it comes on and goes out and fades away sometimes when hard resetting settings it will light up but then get stuck again, I been reading more about it and found it to be some bug within it and sony have yet to fix the bug that many devices have. tried reverting back to backed up firmware and kernel and no joy still

Tried going right back to jingerbread on this it turns on starts scanning and then says error. When using wifi tools I get the error wifi stuck and have looked at sonys database and seems many are reporting the same sort of bugs on the xperia s and other devices with stuck wifi and cant turn on not matter what is done or they have tried.
Well I look and looked and looked.
RESOLVED after 4 bloody days.
After a shocking discovery this actually worked. But think it might be some bug that is within Sky WiFi thats resolved the problem
1 went to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.cloudwifi
Downloaded installed. Next logged into my account and shortly after I seen devices available to connect to but their cloud. Shortly after saving my settings phone locked up froze and restarted on me n rebooted and then noticed that my ? option was on for saying WiFi available clicked on it and wifi on powered phone down and back on and still on.

Will give it a go now and see if this resolves the problem by wiping everything on it then flashing
Still no joy on this. Looks like something is totally messed up in the software firmware or rom not doing as it is meant to.
anyone here that has successfully flashed this model of the rm 6 pro with a global rom? does that work or will i brick it?
Bet your the first tester to find out

i would give it a try ^^
But your replying to me. I'd be shredding cables by now lol, but hey, is it possible your fone is a rebranded redmi 6 pro? Plenty of tuts here for that, but I'll try to help/guide you should you need it, tell me, what stock flashing application will you use to flash your stock BACK in case of a mistake?

the problem is that the vendor from china put some crippled stock rom on my phone where they removed the system update service and so i cant do a local update with the phone. my rm 6 telegram group suggested that i install the qcom 9008 usb driver on my pc and boot my phone via adb into qcom 9008 edl mode and use miflash to flash it with a 4.15 unbrick package and if this would work i would have intact system update again and could flash it with a local update with the firmware id like. thanks for the help btw. gotta go out in 5 minutes but be back in a bit. please give me your opinion, i will read it once im back
What you wrote sounds good. Your flashing app is miflash. Download the 4.14 unbrick, and load it into miflash without fone plugged in, power fone OFF, start the miflash, hit download/flash (dont know the actual button to do the damage), then plug turned off fone into usb, miflash should auto find and flash, anything after that, feel free to ask.
Ps you could just jump in the deep end and flash the one you WANT, so that if it fails you'll know if it works or not, and will have tested a rom before flashing your stock back, kinda better than flashing stock first in a way.

thanks for the suggestions! i want to give this a try as soon as i have some time. buthow do i backup my current stock rom in case the new rom wont work? i only know about rom manager app but that needs a rooted phone and mines isnt rooted. is there a way to backup the stock rom without having a rooted device?
Forget backing that up, your already at the stage where you learn if you back this up now, you MAY also back up the problem and have to do it all again, take my advice, keep it simple.
For your 'backup' - download latest official stock from your fone maker.
You may want to revert back AFTER you test the one you want to test.
So test first while it's 'broken' knowing once you go back to stock, it aint broke, dont fix it.

hey there! thanks for your tips, i appreciate it! ok just to clear things up, with "stock" firmware, you mean the official latest chinese firmware from the chinese nubia page, right?
Yup, if thats what you know is your STOCK, ie, not the one you wanna test, but in your scenario, I'd flash the test before stock, this way you gain experience flashing, and if you mess up, then you flash the stock, and learn not to. (again lol)
To clarify, stock is the firmware the fone maker has on their site.
Follow thir instructions, it's easier than you think, as my auld man told me, when testing, write down every step, so you REMEMBER instead of being unsure because I forgot....

ok i got it. thanks for the help! i have the stock ready on my computer. unfortunately i cant flash my phone by following the manufacturers steps because my phone vendor flashed my phone with some custom chinese multi language firmware with google already pre installed. and whoever edited this firmware before flashing it on my new phone, removed the system service that is necessary to launch the "system update" options. therefore i have no way of making a local firmware update in my phone. unfortunately the red magic 6 pro also does not have a local update option in the recovery menu. thats why my only option is flashing the phone with my computer. but in the worst case i will have the latest stock rom on my phone in the end and this will have the system update options intact. thanks again for all the help!
