So, today I received the update to 4.4.4/10.5.1.A.0.283 and after updating I noticed that both front and rear cameras aren't working, and also the flash LED.
After noticing this I did a clean install with Flashtool and also PC Companion, but it doesn't work either.
What could be the issue? (And the possible solution...)
For now I will flash 10.5.A.0.230 back, I would really appreciate if someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.
(C5502, locked BL)
EDIT:
Okay... it seems like it fixed itself, well, not totally. I turned off my phone, removed the battery and let those there for some minutes, then turned on and its working fine now.
My both camera and flashlight is working in 4.4.4/10.5.1.A.0.283

Yesterday I went to a party, nothing wrong with the xperia t. When I got home I let it recharge. I think it still worked at that moment. Pretty sure it did. Went to sleep. Woke up. My phone battery was empty lol. Still in the recharger. Did some stuff, let it recharge some more. Got it to boot up again. Now touch screen doesn't work anymore . Tried wiping cache, factory reset. Still not working.
I have cm-10.1.3-RC2-mint installed. I think I might have to update it. This could be the problem.
Any more tips for if it doesn't work? never had this problem before. I hope it is a software thingy.
I updated the firmware but still doesn't work. I think im gonna re-install the stock firmware, and flash a stock kernel which will unroot my mobile. Any tips? please? I can't use my phone at all atm. It just stays at the cyanogenmod install screen..

I would like to try that thing with adb, but as I have already reinstalled cyanogenmod, developer options/debugging is turned off. I can't use ADB. Unless you know another way.
So this is totally getting out of hand.. (and I don't know if that is also a english expression lol).
I tried reflashing a stock firmware. Worked, but touchscreen still doesn't work. Then I noticed, that I now don't have cwm anymore... how the f?
SO I probably forgot to exclude the kernel. So now I tried reflashing a kernel with cwm, but flashtool doesn't recognize the kernel files... I don't know what is going on..
Ah already found the problem. Got cwm back phewww..
So here is what needs to be done. I want to try gregbradleys adb shell fix but my usb debugging is off and this means that I can't use adb, as I don't have touchscreen.
So, is there any way, any way at all, to enable usb debugging without touching the screen? Maybe a kernel with that settings automaticly set?
Im getting a bit angry at my phone now.. I didn't even do anything to break it in the first place. Just tried recharging it, and that killed the touchscreen? lol. Help will be appreciated. Im out of ideas.
Get a usbotg cable and attach a usb mouse
Then use that to turn debugging on
When you flash a stock firmware you lose recovery.

thanks, I'll get one tomorrow. I hope it will help. You've helped me before so im pretty confident that you fix my problem again haha. You are a boss.
A non responsive touch screen happened to me too after I flashed a wrong firmware. I flashed back the version that was on before, but it didn't help. Only after I flashed this (pretty old) version Xperia T - 7.0.A.1.303 Generic DE with Flashtool, the touch screen started to working again. I am not sure, maybe any ftf would work. But I know that I had success with this one.
You should try gregbradleys method first though. Funny, that your touch screen stopped working, without you modifying anything. Hopefully it's not a hardware problem.

hmmm, I tried this and it worked. problem solved. I did however not have wrong firmware installed, but it was an rc2 version of cm. So it can be unstable and stuff, but this was kind of a big problem.

Hey, glad your phone is ok again. I remember when that happened to me. I just had the phone for a couple weeks. Shat my pants, thinking I wrecked it. It worked out at the end, though. Feels good to recover a bricked phone, doesn't it.
Sorry to bump

I am having this exact problem! I'm sorry to awake this sleeping thread, but I have a locked bootloader and I tried a Sony PC Companion reset and it still has the problem. Is there anything else I can do?

It's probably hw problem. If you still have warranty take it to the repair center.
What if you flash the last rom where it did work.
Hi, i have seen many forums regarding this error, so I will post what i have tried already. Problem only on rear camera.
I did clean cache and restarted.
Reinstalled camera app/other camera apps from the store.
Started in safe mode.
Ran xperia diagnostics/service test. Camera didnt start.
As far as i can remember it happened shortly after installing avatar rom. I kept getting constant crashes so i decided to flash stock again, everything works fine but the camera.
Right now i am on 4.4.4, with the "C6602_10.5.1.A.0.283_Customized_US" firmware. Rooted using towelroot, but the problem existed before and remains after rooting.
I have been uninstalling/disabling some sistem apps through Titanium Backup , so I would say i mistakenly deleted some important system app. Can anyone share the process/apps needed to use camera? so i cant install all of them again.
Can it be the firmware? should i try a different one? I would like to fix it without having to wipe, but if it must be I will just restart from scratch.
Thanks for the assistance, feeling sort of lost on this one.

Try with clean install. Repair it via PC Companion or reflash it via Flashtool. If still doesn't work it's probably hw problem.
ok, i tryed reflashing a couple of times, the error is still there. It doesnt seem likely that its a hardware issue. Is it possible to reinstall the files necessary for using the camera?
One other thing, i cant use pc companion repair because it says my software is modified, if i relock bootloader can i use it?

Yes, you can use it with locked bl, but you don't need to do that, find .ftf ROM for your region and model or any other you like and do a clean flash via Flashtool, if still not working it's hw issue, you need new camera module.

i just reflashed 2 different roms for my phone and version. Relocked and repaired via pc companion. And nothing worked, i assume its hw damage then.
Does it happen when the phone suffers a hit? or is there another explanation?. Cant figure out how it happened.
Thank you for all your help.

Hi, kennycol
Can you tell me if it is hardware problem?
I met the same problem
After revive my C6833, the camera can't work. Firstly，the front camera is OK，but not a long time, it also can't work.
After I flashed other rom using flashtool, two camera both can not work.
when I use camera , phone shows "unfortunately, the camera stopped"
press *#*#7378423#*#*
enter service test
camera CAMERA NOT CONNECTED
Secondary camera THIS DEVICE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE FUNCTION
Then, I reflash it by S1tool, the things repeat again.
Hi all,
I recently purchased a second hand z1 c6903 (telstra branded), and decided I would start off by loading the iHackers custom rom on. (based off instruction in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439328 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716182). Now I didn't use it a whole heap before doing this but I didn't notice any issues with the display before starting.
After the first step of downgrading to the Firmware 14.1.G.1.534 the display started going nuts. I suspected something may have gone wrong and started from scratch on another computer and re-flashed the firmware. Problem persisted but everything other than the display seemed to work so I continued rooting the phone, backing up the TA, unlocking the bootload and installing the rom. It all seemed to go fine.
Its hard to describe the issue with the display, its flickering and distorted (tried to make a vid sorry about the quality though https://youtu.be/nyD1o28ipdY)
If you can see in the video it does not do it really in some apps like the calendar and clock, others it does at first then stabilises, doesn't seem to do it at all in the drag down notification menu. Even though its difficult to see the icons, if you know where they are, they seem to respond fine like nothings wrong.
I searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone with a similar issue (May be out there but because the z1 has had such widespread issues with the touch screen thats all I could seem to find).
Was hoping someone with more experience or that has dealt with a similar issue could help in diagnosing the problem or provide a solution?
Thanks in advance
Dean
Wow o.o weird.
Did you flash the latest firmware version before flashing iHackers ROM?
U should try to flash another Kernel. There are many based on stock rom, like FXtrinity and X Honami. try them
Thanks guys.
I didn't flash to the latest, probably should have tried before continuing. Is that something worth trying now (I have never had any issues like this with roms etc I don't know where to start?) I also had flashed to the Kernel.ftf for C6903 (.133) as in the instructions.
I just tried the X-Honami v6 kernal. Still the same.
Anybody have any ideas?
Update:
I bricked it trying to revert back the the telstra branded firmware. Red flashing light. It did vibrate at one stage after pressing the power button but nothing since. Have just been charging it until I get a chance to try and fix it. Doesn't really detect it at all when connected via usb but the usb connection sound keeps going off.
Hi,
I don't know if any can help me at all please?
I just replaced the Touch Screen & Frame on my UK Xperia Z1
The process was fairly straightforward and everything went back together just fine but although the phone powers on ok and the display is good it will not respond to any touch? I have completely redone my work to check I had not missed anything but I still have the same problem. I have loaded stock KitKat & Lollipop but to no avail. I can use the phone with a mouse/keyboard without a problem but absolutely no touch response at all..
I hope somebody can point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks
Try to flash a stock rom via flashtool.
I have a similar problem, any rom flashed via fastboot will cause the touchscreen not to respond
