No screen...how do i change it back??

Hey guys,
I stupidly dropped my phone in water and awaiting it to dry out, i cant take it back to the store yet as havent changed the ROM back as cant see the screen. Is there anyway of doing it without having to know off by heart the on screen instructions. The screen doesnt seem to repond to anything either. I get the vibrate to tell me its on and that about it, sometimes the SE logo in full oclour before it all blurs and becomes a mash of colour.
I have the stock ROM ready to upload (as kindly retrieved from here) but dont know how to go about changing it now.
Cheers

take urx1 to consumer care center and ask them to look after for u！

Is that a dig at my predicament

If u want to test that it is really not a hardware problem,
try flashing another rom to see if the problem persists or not..
If it persists then its the problem of ur touchscreen so take it to sony service center.They will get it repaired...

flash another rom to make sure,but if it is shown when you are running different apps and even in cwm i guess its hardware problem...

some times there is a screen cut if you are in high frequency.
anyway if its your screens problem there are some cheap in ebay..

If It is a Hardware Problem... Than Just Replace the Touch pad it Should Cost you Around 20$ to 25$(2nd Quality)
I had the Same Problem & Replaced the Touch Pad Now it Works Good For Me..!!

Yeah but i can't buy on Ebay and where i live is much more expensive...its will be the half of the price of a new phone.
But thanks anyway!
Send from My Xperia™X8

yeah...
maybe you can flash with another ROM
always flash the kernel and the other..after that try to wipe data
hope it can help to solve your problem

Have you consulted a service center? And maybe find out if it's a hardware issue (it probably is ) and maybe get an estimate on how much it would cost to fix it?
Worst case scenario: buy a new phone but don't throw away your x8 so you can stay active here. That's what i'd do.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

Do you have the warranty still active? maybe you can fix it for free.

No,i have the phone around 1 year and 5 months,no more warranty.I tryed to change kernel+ROM and nothing.By now i will assume thats a hardware problrm and 'll try to dissasembly and see what i can do... hope its simple!

Well I really hope you will repair it successfully...hope for the best and good luck
sent from my X8 with xda app

Well,no way i could fix it,the problem is inside the display and only a new one would work,sadly i will need to buy a new phone.Thats it.Thanks everybody who tryied to help and goodbye!

[Q] Touch lag!?

Hello all
I have a problem. I've installed miniCM10 JB 4.1.1. Everything was fine. I got smooth scrolling and my favorite game fruit ninja was running well. But as I set min CPU level to 245 to avoid the black screen bug, when unlocking, somthing whent wrong I think. I stared to have, buttons highligts, as thay are not touched. Picture scrambles, for a second for time to time. And fruit ninja has a heavy, I mean heavy lag. The game itself is running smooth, but touches appear after 3 to 5 seconds later. And some times touches are even not detected. I've experemented with various of options, in performance and developer options menu, no success. The menus and the ui are running smooth.
After that, i've restored the stock rom, via flash tool and stock kernel. Updated the phone via PC Companion, the phone running well, but even with the stock rom, I am getting the touch problem. Way ligher then it was in JB but is there. I've deleted any ext partitions on the sd card. Then flashed the alfs 8 kernel and installed GingerDX as it running perfectly on my phone, and the lag is the same as JB in fruit ninja. Other runnig smooth. Screen view is moving, even in recovery. Like you are not fixed your tv antena, and the picture is not centered but is shifted to the middle of the screen. In the upper side I see the bottom of the screen, if you can understand what I mean. So I am feeling that I have some hardware issue I guess. Any ideas.
Thank you very much.

I think that its a h/w issue.
Take your phone to SE.

Yes, it is a hardware problem......I had the same problem - lag in touches, random touches etc. and now the touch is not working at all.:crying:
Your best option is sending it to Sony....:good:

Possible, but I don't know where is the digitizer. I suppose I must remove the front panel, but I don't know how. I see there are some six corner screws on the back of the panel.

Ok, some questions, On the box of your phone is write "Made in Brazil"? If you put your phone on a flat surface, wait 30 sec and try to scroll a page it will fail? When you are playing a game and the phone is hot your touch fails? If yes you have a hardware problem, ask for a replacement, i had to change my phone 3 times until find a working one, my other 2 Z1 was made in Brazil, now the working one is made in China, some people with the China one have this problem too, but is rare. The Brazilian version is having an assembly problem, causing bad contact, if this is your case change the phone.

Ok, make a try with games and see if the problem will appears, i recommend you to do the following, pick a camera and record the problem when it appears, then take to store and change the phone, BUT before you go out test if the problem will come on the new phone, that was what i did, i stayed 3 hour inside the store testing

@MakaMika Sorry to say but you can join us here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540950
Anyway, still some chance to fix this touch screen problems with a software, a good new FW which we wait for it but I will not wait until that and I will send the phone back to the store when you bought it a tell them to fix it or replace with a new device, like I did. The phone still under warranty and should be issues free and it's not so you have the rights to send it back. Sony Service will decide if repair or replace.

3 hours???LOOL I guess i ll try the gaming test,what game do you recomand to heat up the phone quickly?

Yo eclyptos, have you checked the sony forums? one of the mods replied that a software fix that will cure our ****ty problem will be released in the next update. Cross fingers for that.
My problem occurs even when browsing pictures, swiping in the pattern lock and gaming especially Shooting games like CK2

This hardware issues can be managed via software that is why we wait for that FW. BTW we are not sure when and how and if it's hardware or software related but new FW should definitely help. They are aware about this issues and they point the FW in that way to fix it.

Me too. I try to clarified, Sony never confirmed it's a hardware problem of they touch screen. People has different Touch Screen issues, someone when touch the aluminium frame the Touch Screen start working well again, someone else don't have that but have problem scrolling pages or opening the phone with pattern even if they touch the aluminium frame or not. So here is the confusion, who have to touch the aluminium frame to let working the Touch Screen saying it's a hardware related (kind of wrong phone sealing) and others who have the problem even when touching the aluminium frame or not saying it's a software related. Many said also after the update to 4.3 the touch screen get worse, like mine. Now do you understand the confusion? Many send the phones back via warranty, many waiting for a FW pointed to fix this issues. Developers are aware about this Touch Screen problem so they try to fix it, even if seems hardware related, with the release of the new updated FW .114, .124 or 136, who know?

Yes,I get you.mine works well when touching the aluminum frame.I guess after all i should return it,didnt even enjoy the few days of having it

Are you sure that a hardware problem can be solved with software update? I mean, i know that software can turn around some issues, but this is not certain

Exactly, we don't know this yet. We have to wait for a new FW pointed to fix this problem. If they do it's a software issue.

You definitely should send it back. The FW I think it's the last chance.
