[Q] Screen not working after updating from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 - Sony Xperia ZR

I updated my phone just recently and came across this major issue.
I used Sony's own tools for updating that leaves two options "Sony Companion" and "Sony Update Service".
Both giving the same results for my phone, even a full reinstall doesn't work.
When done updating you set your Xperia ZR back on as the software says.
It starts normally showing the Sony logo, Xperia logo and some Xperia animations.
When it gets to the lock screen and asks for your pin code to unlock your sim-card everything is fine.
Here it comes.
When setting your screen in standby and back on the touchscreen function is not working anymore.
Other buttons are working fine (power, volume, photo)
I talked to a Sony employee and he came to the conclusion that it's a Hardware defect, that sounds to me like a bad excuse.
The screen works the first time but not the second time it's turned on.
Looks to me like a software problem.
Are any others of you experiencing this problem with the Xperia ZR? Please, let me know below!
I don't have a solution yet or if you have a solution, let us/me know down here.
Thanks in advance!

It sounds like the firmwarepart with drivers four the touchscreen didn't bite. If it's anything like the 4.2.1-4.2.2 in HTC that part needs to get through.
Is there any way of restarting the process through companion?

A temporarily solution is to touch the screen when pressing the power button to turn on the screen.
Example: Touch with your left index finger on the screen and press power shortly as you normally do, then move your index finger over the screen.
But you have to do this every time you turn on the screen!

Have you tried flashing the ftf file through flashtool?

No, I haven't tried that yet, because I'm not familiar with flashtool.

It's easy.
1. Do a search for flashtool and download the exe file.
2. Install it. Install the latest drivers by going to the install drivers menu in the program.
3. Download the ftf file on the android development section.
4. Save it in the c drive folder for flashtool-->>firmware
5. Press the big flash (lightning symbol)
6. Chose flash mode
7. Your firmware should show up. Choose the C5503 firmware.
8. It will tell you to turn off your phone and while plugging in, keep the back button pressed. Since the zr doesn't have a back button, hold the volume down button.
9. It should do everything automatically. You'll be on a new os. Reboot and you're done.

I'll try that :fingers-crossed:
Did you also try the update to 4.2.2?
It's still bugging me that they released it and it didn't work. (for my Sony Xperia ZR at least)

Great it worked!
I took flashtool from androxyde.github.io and I also took the firmware from there.
For me the first 3 times flashing went wrong, but it's nothing to worry about just reconnect the USB while pressing volume-down button and retry.
So I am now back to android 4.1.2 and the screen is working fine without any problems.
Thanks djpeesh!

I have the same problem but I don't want to revert to 4.1.2 is there another workaround? This is really stupid SONY says that an app can cause this but there is pretty much nothing on my device. I did a hard reset and it didn't help. I'll try something else to see if I can avoid the downgrade. I think everything started when I activated debugging mode.

Same happens with mine.At times I am not able to accept phones calls by sliding. i have to press the power button several times to switch off and on the screen and then it functions again

I tried flashing 4.2.2 russian rom and it didn't work, tried 4.1.2 russian version, also didn't work. I'll try another ROM now and if it still doesn't work I'll go to where I bought it and I'm going to smash it in the sellers head (angry). I'm so disappointed in SONY.

Please dont try this method, as this might brick your phone permanently and you might end up in jail.

I managed to make the screen work again but then it stopped like before. I suspect that there might be a SIM card problem is your sim a genuine micro SIM or is it like mine a chopped mini one?

I sended my Xperia ZR back to sony, because I talked to a SONY employee about this and his answer was to send it back for repairs. After all **** installations that didn't work. At the look of it the frimware for the screen is not inplemented in the new 4.2.2 update. If you could rip the 4.1.2 screen frimware off and migrate it with the 4.2.2 update that could work, but that is a bit to advanced for me.

My screen didn't work even with a 4.1.2 official roms tomorrow I'm going to send it for repairs. It's really annoying to spend 500 dollars and have these stupid problems my HTC TOUCH HD is 5 years old and has never been repaired, still works the old beast, and this device is 10 days old and already is getting on my nerves.

Well, that wasn't the problem anyway I just left mine in the repair shop, they tried to blame for messing up the software of the phone but I used only SONY official firmware, so let's see what they'll come up with next I hope they won't make me pay for repairs because this will be a very sad story.

I know this topic become legacy already, but how do u guys solve it? My xperia zr screen becomes crazy if overheat a bit. No matter what firmware used. Have to off screen and then on back. Very annoying.

I've had a problem lately too where my screen will go white, while apps still seem to continue running.
Sometimes, just turning off the screen, then sliding it open will fix it. Other times I have to pull the battery.
As of yesterday, I can also no longer read any memory card in the phone. I think its time for a new phone. I just passed that 2 year expiration date.
man...still no answer yet..i have no idea what is going on with this phne..warranty also expired..any help guys???please....

I think the problem are the 2 screen connectors. You must open the screen part of the cover and tighten the conectors.

[Q] Is my Xperia lt30p Bricked?

Getting an orange light (not flashing and its been on since yesterday). Wont turn on in any ways, by presing volume up and power for several seconds(i tried for minutes) or pressing down and power. Not even connecting it by USB, i tried many USBs and a laptop+ computer. This phone is just about 2 weeks old and lightly used, because I'm using my old phone.
This phone as never been dropped, hit, left without charge, or watered. So I am really surprised of the quality. I bought this phone in the US and moved to Costa Rica so i cant just send it back. This really annoy me, to think that i wasted 539.00 dollars in this "Quality" product that lasted 2 weeks.
I read some solutions like leaving it charging for a long period of time. Or if that doesnt work, drain the battery. But i think the later is impossible since the battery is fully charge, it would take weeks for the battery to run out (how do i know it is fully charged?, my nokia charger gets hot while charging and it is totally cool charging the xperia), and flashing, but my computer does not recognize the phone even by pressing volume done for several minutes and power.
Please any help? thanks!.

Have you flashed anything to the phone? I cant beleive it just did this without you doing something to the phone. Have you rooted? Have you tried to unlock the bootloader?
Please install flashtool and post the log from flashtool when you try to connect the phone normally, in flashmode and in fastboot mode.

Now you have asked your QUESTION and I have tried to ANSWER it, can you guess which section you should have posted in?

I swear i didnt touch the phone i barely installed any apps like facebook, waze, and prolly one or 2 more. The reason is because i was waiting for my sim cutter and for the mean time i was using my old c6-01 nokia. I tried flashboot and it keeps telling me device not detected. i tried pressing volume down and power, etc. To be honest i barely used this phone. Just to check my FB or waze (like a google map). I moved to Costa Rica so i cant send it back.

ok, if you have not unlocked your bootloader you can not enter fastboot mode.
Download PCcompanion and follow the instructions to update software, then click on repair. It should work.

Please dont worry about it. Just go through the process to update your software without actually attaching your phone. Then you will get an option to repair.
Then attach the phone in flashmode (Press volume doen whilst attaching the usb cable to the phone) and it should work.
If not, please download flashtool Find a link in the first post of the Devlopment section and also download a stock ftf for your phone from the all in one thread (First thread in the Q&A section)
Then drag and drop the ftf file you downloaded into the open window of flashtool and attach the phone in flashmode. If that does not work then please post what the log of flashtool says.
EDIT
Also, no need to ever say thank you to anyonr here, if you feel the need to offer your thanks just hit the thanks button, thats what it is for

Hard brick LT30p ?
Hello to all... What could hapen to my phone, that it wont turn on? Hard brick? Everything was fine, I just searching on the webs ho to sim-Unlok, found sites, gived IMEI and they tell the price, and just searched some other to get the price (where is cheeper). Some days ago I tryed to flash stock rom O2 with flash tools from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910216, everything goes right. Version was 4.0.4 and I do not update (when I connect to Wi-Fi it gives me update) because I thought wen I sim-ulock then I do this. After flashing stock rom I noticed, that my sony wont start without restart (press power + volume up + volum down) (maby goes in to deep sleep or something). I thought never mind, it maybe softwere problems and when I debrand it will goes everything ok, because I rewrite software and add my sim when sim-Unlock I do. And when I decided to debrand, it is to day, I see, that I can't turn on my phone. PC do not detect and no sign at all. Trayed to hold all butons and so on, nothing... What hapens? Yesturday I was using it without SIM (because it is still simlocked) to search on the internet, google and everything was OK, power left about 60% when shutdown. So any ideas how to start the phone? The phone was not rooted. Maby some how something block my phone with IMEI? Because I write it in some forums asking for sim-unlock, so just don't know what to do... Any ideas or suggestions?

I disassemble my phone, removed battery conetctors and added to the same place and my phone booted without a paroblme. Hmm? Is it sony's problems? Maby exists diferent way how to do that when phone just do not boot? Because if it hapens in the future, it's not so easy to remove back.
Who is trying to remove the back I can say, that the back is from soft (elastik) material, so do not afraid to give some preasure. And offcorse there are only one screw near sim card. I done it slowly from corner to corner to remove.
My simple guide where is back holders https://www.dropbox.com/s/8x2m0plk4c0cibn/LT30p reassemble-1.jpg

Xperia T updateloop

I just got my new T, which I decided to update via the official way (downloaded the software via Wi-Fi in settings, then clicked install).
But now, my phone keeps rebooting. First I get the Sony logo, then a box with a bar underneath it (which means it's installing, I guess), and then a yellow triangle with (!) in it, then it reboots and does the same cycle.
Help anyone?

because if its brand new and you have not done anything yourself to it then I would suspect a faulty handset.
If I break my phone because I flash something bad then I would fix it, but if it came out of the box like that I would want a new one.
If I bought a brand new car and when they gave me the keys and I walked to it and it had a flat tire I would ask them to fix it even though I know how to do it myself, because I want a fully working car if I buy a brand new one.

No, like I said, I updated to Jelly bean via the Wireless method. It probably was a faulty update. I did the repair via PCcompanion and updated and it works fine now.

Three random issues - Has anyone else experienced these?

Background info: I've had my Xperia Z1 only for two to three weeks now. I've been enjoying every part of it, but I've come across three particular gripes I have to mention.
First, random app crashes. One time the Album crashes, the other time System crashed. It appears to be random, not based on anything you were or weren't doing at that moment. I don't think I'm the only one with this though.
Secondly, and here's where it gets weird: my on-screen buttons disappeared. I believe I was just closing GTA: San Andreas. Suddenly, the buttons were gone. I could scroll through the app drawer perfectly, still. That's the odd thing. I should've taken a screenshot if I realised this earlier. I will next time it happens, so let's hope I don't have to. After a while, the phone froze and I decided to reset it, after which everything returned to normal. I guess that's one part where hardware buttons beat software - they don't magically disappear (I hope..).
Lastly, I opened the camera and it looked like it lagged. I pressed the Home button twice or thrice, but then the entire device froze and it kept vibrating like hell! I don't particularly enjoy 5" vibrating devices so I decided to reset it as quickly as possible. No way that could've been good for the device.
Have you experienced one of the last two issues I've had? Or have you had something similar yet different?
Let me know below!

I'm sorry, what?
It's pretty important to not lose the three main on-screen buttons, not to mention having a device that doesn't vibrate like you-know-what.
What would repairing the firmware do? The phone is still new. There couldn't be anything wrong with the firmware, not solvable by flashing the same firmware over it again, I reckon.

yeah these are problems and easily can be solved
by PC companion.
even more issue can appear on new phone.
these are bugs on ur ROM
when u repair firmware, PC companion will download latest firmware (available for ur region) and install it on ur phone.
That can solve ur problem.

if repairing by PCC didn't help u should download Flash-Tool for Xperia & firmware of another region and flash it.
u can find useful information about it here.

Try repair is really the first thing to do with ROM dependent error, so there is nothing wrong with the answer.

How can this be a ROM dependent error when I just had my Xperia Z1 for a couple of weeks and updated to official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean through an Over The Air update? My Android firmware is as official and up-to-date as it gets right now.
EDIT: Actually, I wasn't even asking for a solution. I was purely wondering if anyone else had these specific issues as well.

Because any update (especially an OTA) might fail and because these errors (mentioned, i think, for the first time here) are ROM dependent.
So first thing I would do is trying the repair.
I'm aware that you only asked for similarities, but as the are annoying errors, we just wanted to help with a possible solution.
Are you running a 4.3 stock ROM?
Do you use bluetooth/have it turned on?
If yes to both, it is a bug in the 4.3 roms related to bluetooth. Only solution I am aware of is to restart the phone whenever it happens and if you can leave bluetooth off

I never use bluetooth actually.

Screen is not working anymore

Hi,
So i have my Z3 compact for a couple of months now. Today, i finished work and walked to the trainstation. Everything worked all right till then. When i arrived at the station, i wanted to change a song, but when i turned it on the screen was not reacting. I thought, lets reboot it by pressing vol up + power and so i did. Now i have to log in with my sim code, but its still not reacting.
Before i arrived at the station i check the time and everything was working fine.
Anyone knows what to do?
Can you connect it to the computer and do some sort of reflash/repair/Whatever of the software? (i'm new to this device, never installed Sony's software on my pc...) if possible it will rule out any software problems (and probably rule out your chances of fixing the problem)
EDIT:
Stole this from sxtester in thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/enter-settings-t3000292
1. Get the same FW version you have installed now (via XperiFirm tool or via download here in the forum).
2. Flash with Flashtool and make sure you uncheck any and all boxes from "Wipe" before doing so. That is, APPSLOG, CACHE and DATA should not be ticked.

if anything, that sounds like a hardware problem to me...
--> how hot does your phone get while its "on"?
I've been having the same problem here for the past week. Just gave up and returned it to where I bought it to get it checked out. No point having a phone that you can't be sure is going to work.
