Touch not responding and boot issues :(

Hi,
I recently got my phone unlocked via testpoint (I think) and it was fine for a week or so but then the touch screen started locking up after i turn the screen on and bring up the lock screen and wouldn't respond to my touches (so I can't answer my calls/texts until I restart my phone), the screen itself was fine as I can see everything still and the phone still responds as the gamepad is still functioned so I could turn it off and on again which then fixed it for a few hours.
This has been happening a lot recently and a new problem has developed which is that it will not boot properly, if I have it plugged in and boot from the "charging mode" its fine but the screen doesn't work until about 10 reboots and on battery it hangs at the Sony Ericsson text screen (On boot) and I have to battery pull it and reboot it many times before it will boot successfully again.
It is running a stock gingerbread ROM (Build .42 - rooted). This worked perfectly and never locked up once before the unlock, so I'm placing my suspicions on that. -.-
any ideas for fixes are greatly appreciated as having this phone doing this ALL THE TIME is very frustrating and seems to be happening more regularly and sometimes even when the screen is turned on and I'm using the device.
Thanks in advance and for reading all of that (If you did )

The fact that you unlocked it shouldn't matter that it's having issues booting up. I had mine unlocked via testpoint and it was all good. Try reflashing your stock FTF.
I think build .42 is Verizon, right? But what phone version do you have?

I have the R800i - originally locked to orange. I flashed a .42 build i fund on the internet, i think it was a Chinese ROM as it came with Chinese keyboard etc. and various Chinese apps
hmm, as I'm typing this I'm waiting for it to reboot - Not working -.- I got told by the guy who unlocked it that i cant update my phone or it may blank screen on me or something? i didn't want to risk anything by re-flashing it as i don't want to have to buy a new phone if this one completely messes up to the point that it's bricked I'm thinking a reflash is the way to go... Can titanium backup backup whatsapp properly so i dont have to sort out my activation stuff again? it's assigned to my old number atm so yeahh...

Same problem over here.
I used to use the Doom kernel for over a year without problem but then the touchscren would frequently lose it's ability to react to touch usually a reboot would fix it, at some point i had to hold a button while bootup for it to react again soon i discovered that sliding the gamepad out was what killed the touch capability sliding the gamepad back in did not restore it only a reboot or as i discovered holding the home button for about 10 seconds how ever it was less and less functional until at somepoint nothing would restore it and the touchscreen permanently lost it's touch. Assuming it might be a software problem i reflashed stock rom and stock kernel the problem still persists and i am not sure if ihad this problem before reflashing or not but i also now have the problem that when pressing the power button the phone does not react for 15 seconds before getting to the sony erricons (or doom kernel) writing to not move one step further no matter the wait while starting with usb plugged in again takes 15 seconds wait time before anyting shows up but then after 30 seconds continues to the next splashscreen to start properly.
Initially i assumed it would be a software problem (like slyhedgehog56) how ever as not even reflashing the entire system fixed it i think that option is out of question. with the touchscreen capability i would blame it on the digitizer but would a digitizer problem also cause the boot issues? With unlocked boot loader i am obviously out of warranty and id rather not have to buy a new phone i would what so ever not mind doing some basic human capable repairs on it (for example exchanging digitizer) how ever i don't want to invest into repairs that possibly wont help anyway.
I hope somebody can provide us with some insight.

Well you've also got to consider is electricals can go wrong weather its a phone laptop toaster ect sometimes stuff just stops working for no reason and something will break just the way it works unfortunately

Well while it certainly is true that everything stops it's not quite for no reason i mean there is most certainly some reason, it's not like the device just randomly decides "im perfectly fine but i wont work anymore" if it's a broken contact a lose cable or a fried chip something IS to blame for malfunctions and if there is a specific pattern of malfunctions it may be possible to track back just what component gave up.
So thank you for notifying me that things break at times i will still continue to wait if somebody possibly has more detail on this particular malfunction though.

I'm not gonna lie myself as the same thing exactly happened to my phone and it died week ago.
Here's how it started
1 Touchscreen died for 5 Seconds when I didn't use phone for long.
- Over two weeks this dead time longly extended.
3 Touchscreen became completely dead and unusable.
- Tried stock rom, Markpython's Ics Rom and Slimbean (no result so hardware problem).
5 Relocked the bootloader, flashed stock fw.
- Device won't boot unless in USB Mode
7 Phone turns unusable (Yes I can navigate using gamepad) and goes to Sony Centre

Sounds like the exact same problem yes (including the gamepad navigation) would you mind keeping me/us updated over how it goes? what they blame to be the culprint etc?

friends too..
Turns out a friends Xperia play has the EXACT same problem so the test point unlock isn't the issue here tried reflashing this one and no help at all, it will boot if I gold the power button then plug a USB cable in but the screen doesn't respond to touches. The same for both phones, they won't boot without a USB connected and will occasionally work once every 50 or so tries without the cable -.-.
I'm at a loss, I've searched the internet to find no help and everyone just saying "use the Sony repair tool" no. It doesn't work!

Awesome! Keypad fault interesting
hmm you said you had flashed another rom that means you had your bootloader unlocked and your warranty voided right?
Did they charge you for the repairs?

Yes i know that you mentioned it however i thought they would/could check the status using the IMEI and could tell if it was locked nlocked though admittingly getting the code to unlock it using th IMEI does not actually mean that you unlocked it... ut alrigh thanks again

[Q] Bricked device after updating on B117

Tried to update to B117 using the dload folder on the SD card and local update.
[topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46062184#post46062184]
The phone restarted, went to the update mode ... and then blank... frozen black. I just took my eyes off it 2 secs. It was writing yellow log lines for the update status, then it was gone.
Given the fact that I get not even a charging amber led when I connect the cable, it seems it's in "coma".
And since the battery is not removable I cannot do the tricks I used to do with my old DHD.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I think you should download firmware for your mobile and flash it.Put the firmware in sdcard/dload/update.app. by some card reader. Now insert sd card and press vol+ vol- and power button. Install firmware and also go to recovery mode and wipe cache. You can access recovery by pressing vol - and vol + button simultaneously.
If the phone does not turns on then connect it to charger for an hour two and retry.!!

Thanks for trying to help. But ... the phone was frozen black. No response, nor to trying to shut down/power off, nor to charge (no led turned on), nor connecting to PC.
Entering the factory menu (holding + / - and power on) did not work either.
The only option that remained was to disconnect battery. But guess what? )))))
Anyway, I left it several hours ago to the Vodafone Store for troubleshooting. Now, I'm just waiting for them to call me back in a few days.

[Status update]
The phone is still in service (1 week and counting). I assume it's going to have some hardware replaced. If it was just a software issue, this would have been solved way quicker.
I am waiting to see whether it was the same motherboard replacement issue some others mentioned.

In my case before bricking it, I had issues when the phone was charging or connected to USB, it had incredible lags, even scrolling through the home screens. The firmware was B103 or B106. I did not had the chance to try B117.
When it was not connected to any cable everything worked very smooth.

It is clearly stated in any smartphone user manual, that when phone is charging, the phone and the screen can become unresponsive.

Never read the manual ) But still, it's the first device I have, which got this issue. And I've had a few.

I have just picked up the phone from service. They said the main-board was changed, but given the fact that the back plate, bezel are new with the protection films on them, I think it's a new phone. It has the B106 firmware.

i have same problems. after update(update was 100% OK) the phone turn of and after this not turn on. black screen. after 5 hous when i connect the charger was red LED notification light. after this i try turn on and red light turn off. now no any react

Sorry to hear that. You're going to have to go to service. Main-board fried. If it's under warranty you should get a replacement, most probably a new phone.

the phone was bought in CHINA. i do not have warranty, where i can buy mainboard?

I guess your wifi is not working as you like.
If thats the case, You need to revert back to stock rom.
This time while using ODIN uncheck auto reboot. Let ODIN complete the process.
After PASS. Go to stock recovery and wipe /factory reset.
After that boot your phone. Your wifi should be ok.

I have had the same problem. I had to squeeze the phone a little towards the antenna side of the phone and guess what wifi started working.
Earlier I thought that it was a kitkat issue and searched high and low for every possible solution. I too removed battery for good 10 minutes to get wifi back.
I don't know exactly why that works, but my best guess is that the contact point between antenna and board are somehow loose. When you squeeze it sits in the place.
Just try and see if anything good comes out of it.
Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.

Told you already. Antenna side. Btw if u disassembled the phone, did check for loose connection between antenna and motherboard. Check utube videos to locate specific parts.

From what?

still have the problem

Is my 1+3 dead!?

Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing pretty silly situation with my phone.
So the story begins here:
I was surfing the web while listening to music in the bus when suddenly my oneplus3 randomly turned off and I couldn't turn it back on. (I was on something around 15% on battery so it's not a low battery problem) I tried to turn it on several times and after holding the power button for like 10secs it turned on, and after pressing the power button again (because I needed to get past unlocked bootloader screen and dm-verity) I saw a boot screen. The capacitive button leds turned on and after 3 secs it turned off again, so I started worrying... After a while I tried to access the recovery, but no luck at all. It powers it self off after bootscreen. So I started to research. Tried to flash the entire OS, partritions with msmdownload tool. After several unsuccessful flashes (firehosewritedata failed sometimes while writing userimg or system.img or boot.img) I did get the download complete green text message, and after successful flash, the white LED turned on, even the phone was not plugged in USB or charger and turned off. The screen is completely black and the white led just flashes constantly without blinking or anything. I could only turn the led off by pressing the power button for another 10 secs. And after turning the phone off, problem still remains. After oneplus logo phone shuts down...
I can access bootloader.
And after flashing everything should be on stock, because now I only got screen only about bootloader, no dm-verity..
And of course - I still cannot access the recovery.
p.s. I tried to do the power cycle (as the tech support told me) but still no luck at all.

did u tried the full msmdownload tool (1gb) or the 55mb version ?

Follow method 2 from the Hard Brick guide by Naman Bhalla and try two or three times.
Sometimes it takes more than once for restoration.

Since you opened the phone, i think your warranty is gone now.
If the msmdownloadtool didnt help you, there is nothing you can do i think.

try to flash again, and if it still maybe something short inside.
if you have disassembly your phone, try disconnecting various flex cable like camera, sim slot etc that connect to the mainboard, that doesn't prevent device from powered on, then try to turning it on.
if it still, check your mainboard, if you don't know how, send it back.

Is ir really gone? There is a still warranty void sticker on the screw there, but of course it's possible to see by eye that the phone has been opened.
I have an appointment with Level2 tech support @oneplus, they are going to remotely flash the entire OS, but do you think they are using pretty similar technique as the msmdownloadtool?

They are doing the same thing like you did.
I already had a session since i thought they are going to do something "special"
You can try the remote session but im afraid that wont help you if you already did it multiple times.

Yes battery is charged of course. It's just doint the same thing. Turns on, after a while when bootscreen comes it just turns off and white notification led appears, after that nothing.

I tried to flash it with tool using method 2 for like 15 times with "download complete" messages, but still no luck at all. Tried to erase partritions with fastboot, flashing just only recovery, modded recovery etc. but I still cannot access the recovery nor system. I just don't get it why the phone does not boot into recovery if I flash it or boot it straight away, It just only turns off and that's it. nothing more. Only black screen and white led lighting all the time (after a while the phone turns warm).
I have read all the MsmDownloadTool thread in "Mega Unbrick thread" and saw that few people have experienced the very same situation as me, so I was wondering if there is any fix for this? It's so strange that I was just surfing the Web and it just turned off by it self with like static image for miliseconds and after that just black screen.
There should be any fix. I guess that it's just a partition error...

Ok, not good news. I had a little remote session before a while. They says it's already a hardware problem.

Since you opened the phone, i think your warranty is gone now.
If the msmdownloadtool didnt help you, there is nothing you can do i think.

Pfffft you think manufacturers notice when you take apart phones? Hell I took apart my Xperia Z2 because it was having problems and then glued it back together with cyanoacrylate hahahaha (worst thing to do but wtv) and no one noticed though it was seemless and everything looked perfect

Guys, I've got something for you! Not really the same thing as Naman.
p.s. not saying its original hehehehe keep safe

man i got a very similiar problem but my op3 has a black screen i was also on low battery around 5-15% when my phone went off after i was in twrp

Actually I was on twrp too! Also I have recently noticed that recovery loading speed was far too long than normal one. I'm talking for something about 5-7 minutes after reboot into twrp. So, who knows what did happen. Just made an RMA request. Will see how it goes.
Anyway, I was on stock 7.1.1 and it's just rooted with custom recovery and that's it! Nothing more! Is that just a factory failure or maybe it's caused by drops i have had? Nothing serious for a 4-5 times for a half year. Of course I have used it even in winter when the snowflakes are coming down from the sky and little rain. Btw, these liquid indicators are white, so all safe. ::laugh:

Note 2 keeps restarting everytime!

Hi guys. A relative asked me if i can repair his note 2. I think his network was locked and the phone keeps restarting everytime. I flashed a new firmware on the phone. The one I use on mine..XXUFNG1, and also I went into recovery and clear data and cache after flashing. But still the phone keeps rebooting everytime. Why is that and how can I fix this?
Note : It's not bootloop or anything. You can switch on the phone, use it for like 5mins and then it freezes and restarts itself. And it goes on like that. Sometimes it doesn't restart also and you can use for more. But most of the time after 5mins, it restarts.

Everything stock..like I said! Before flashing to the newest rom too, everything was stock.

Was the phone dropped or exposed to moisture? Possible battery problem? Reboots even when connected to a charger?

Hi..thanks for reply. I tried another battery in it. The one I use myself. But it still restarts. I don't know if the phone was dropped or anything though. The relative just told me that it needs to be unlocked. Do you think it's software related? Or something is damaged in the phone?

Since it is running a stock ROM and still behaves this way after a factory reset, I think there is a hardware problem.

I might have a similar problem. I copy from another thread:
Hey guys,
I like this rom so far. But since 2 weeks I got an issue.
My phone randomly turns off, atleast I guess that's what happens. Sometimes the "notify" LED is on permanently but the display won't go on. To start the phone again I have to put out the battery and put it back in.
My battery is randomly empty pretty fast even if I just let the phone turned off. This happens like every 5 minutes.
I already bought a new battery but the problem hasn't changed.
What to do now? :>

I like the phone. It's over 5 years old and runs like the first day. Except it DOESN'T wake up anymore after a short time when the screen is off. I can press the power/home button as many times as I want and wait for 5 minutes, screen will still be off. Only way to "wake" it up again is to put the battery out and in again.
Currently I don't have enough money to buy a new phone and I can get a new motherboard for 25$. But I'm not sure if this will fix my problem.
I'm not even sure if this is the ROMs problem since it worked with all earlier versions of this rom perfectly and even the latest release worked for weeks/months.

As long as I leave the screen turned on the display/phone won't go off and I can use it as always. Even the battery don't drop drastically then.
It might be exposed to moisture tho. When I take a hot shower I'll leave it on the window sill and the room gets steamy.
ROM: [7.1.2 r24] LineageOS for N7100 [Unofficial] - Version from 08.10.2017
GAPPS: Open Gapps ARM 7.1 Aroma - 03.05.2017
Baseband: N7100XXUFND3
Ril and other stuff I don't know where to check.
Some years ago I had the SDS and the motherboard was changed without the EMMC bug.
Sometimes my phone only charges in slow mode too.
I try a clean install and newer pico gapps now. Maybe it will solve the problem. I'll reply then if it worked or not.
[EDIT]
Since my phone was low on battery I turned it off completly and put it on the charger. After an hour or so I wanted to look after it.
The green charging light stays on and if I want to turn the phone on nothing happens. The light stays on even after removing the charger.
Seems like a hardware, not a rom problem? Will changing the motherboard fix this?
[EDIT 2]
Quick update. I fully wiped/factory resetted and clean installed newest version of this ROM + newest mini pico GApps. Still the same problem. Gonna try it with another ROM/kernel now and if the problem persists it's a hardware fault.
[EDIT 3]
Fully wiped again and changed ROM+Kernel. Still the same problem.
