Hi, my phone is running ARHD 13.0, but yesterday something strange happened. The screen started to not work, only touch was working. Sometimes it worked, but it wasn't often. Now when I got this working, touch stopped working. I have warranty and I want to unroot it and get back to stock ROM & relock it and flash stock recovery. How do I do this without a screen?
As title says touchscreeen and cwm recovery not working
I can boot up XP but screen doesn't work but all buttons work, but when I hard reset and press back button it doesn't enter recovery
what i have tried and tested
Tried 2 working digitizer and three working ear piece ribbons
and recently changed the sliding ribbon due to the common wear and tear problem
flashed .58 firmware (with custom kernel and stock kernel) FAILED!
tried doom kernel and lupus kernel, no difference still wont boot into recovery
stock rom and custom roms, still wont work
First digitizer failure started off as temperamental were if just pulled out battery and restarted it might go way and then became laggy
then last time it work perfectly for 12 hours and then suddenly it completely stopped and never worked again:crying:
Has anyone had similar problem or know what could be causing it as i have tried everything I can think of.
I know its not rom, kernel or firmware causing problem as i have stuck to using gingerbread OS
and all hardware mentioned above worked flawlessly before problem but I still checked with other spares I had
Good morning,
I've been having some issues after trying to flash AOKP & CM10.1 on my Note 2. In the past I've had no issues flashing on any phones that I've had, but this one for some reason just doesn't want to work.
After I'll flash a rom using TeamWin recovery, it will just sit at the Samsung splash screen for as long as you keep the phone on. When I flash AOKP, it at least goes to the X screen where it sits forever. I'm kind of at a loss because I've never seen this happen before. I can flash back to OEM using my backup just fine, but just nothing other than OEM works.
I've got root, and I even got desperate and followed instructions on this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caU-onGSk5o
Am I missing a kernal, or something? Or am I just doing something completely stupid and don't realize it.
Today I received my GT-N7105 back from the repairers after having the screen replaced, or maybe the whole phone replaced as for some reason my phone was un-rooted! God knows why they would have to do that to replace the screen.
So I've just rooted again and installed ROM Manager and attempted to flash CWM recovery, according to the app it went fine, but when trying to boot to recovery using the ROM Manager app and the volume up + home + power method I'm met with the stock recovery.
I have tried using Odin to install CWM recovery but the device freezes on the boot screen every time I try, and freezes there when I take the battery out and attempt to boot the phone again. So I have to root again just to get the device to turn on.
Its been years since I flashed a custom recovery so tried following a couple guides, but no luck.
I want to flash CyanogenMod to the device but cant do this without CWM (I've never attempted to use TWRP, better the devil you know!)
I have noticed Knox has appeared on my device, but I have not activated it as I hear this causes issues with rooting, and the reason I think this is a different device altogether is the flash counter was at 0 when first rooted this one, but I must have pushed this p to at least 15 before it went in for the repair.
Am I missing something? Please don't make me have to use the bloated to the heavens stock Android!
Thanks in advance and will be thanking any help.
Hi,
i was recently playing with my Xperia, trying to run 4.4 android.
I flashed legacyXperia CM11, with corresponding kernel (included in zip with rom).
It was working fine, i tried to run newer versions, HyperGamer kernel, but with no luck.
I settled with CM11, installed gapps. Play store was crushing, so i rebooted the phone.
After that, Xperia was dead. It vibrates after pressing power, but screen is black (at first, i light up a little, slightly brighter than typical black).
I tried flashing with flashtool stock GB and ICS and reFlash. I flashed different kernels with fastboot. Everything is going ok, but i still get only black screen.
Any suggestion? I really, really like my Xperia Play and i don't want to lose it :/

Try to flash stock GB FTF with flashtool....
Try with different (unpartitioned) sdcard...
Try flashing lupus kernel and see will it enter recovery when you boot (keep pressing vol- or vol+ while booting)...

if you tried flashing with other roms it may be related to your flex cable. when i bought my first xplay it was in a state as you described, black screen only. the guy i bought from told me he flashed a rom and device was bricked in the process. but he also told me before he flashed, the touchscreen was not quite responsive and he had issues with cameras.
so first i tried to flash the phone with stock rom but there was only blackscreen. i thought the problem was software related only after changing flex cable phone started booting and running normally.
it may be a bad coincidence in your case but if you haven't changed your flex cable in a while it may be the cause.
