My Z3 Compact's touchscreen not responding - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I have a D5803 device.
I was using CM13 unofficial version in this site. 2 days ago, i decided to go back stock.
After flashing the stock ftf and rebooting the phone, i stuck at the language selection screen. Screen not responding any touching activity. I flashed the ftf again and again. But no solution.
Here is what i've done to get it solved(but couldn't):
-Restarted the phone using power + volume up buttons
-Unlocked and locked bootloader(tried both)
-Flash another kernel and go to TWRP, but it is the same. Can't touch.
-Flashed another stock ftf (older versions)
So i started to think that it is some hardware problem. But I NEVER PUT MY PHONE UNDER THE WATER OR DROPPED IT.
How can flashing a ftf cause this?
Any idea?
(Sorry for bad english if there are any mistakes.)

Help possibly bricked phone

I don't know what it is with my luck...
But I really need help.
So I flashed a custom ROM, the Hybrid Revolt Rom to be exact, and accidently disabled the recovery.
So I tried to flash TWRP via flashtool and now all I have is a blank screen when I boot up.
PLEASE HELP
I was able to solve my own problem, yet again. I apologize for panicking...
But I am willing to explain how I fixed it.
So the problem was that I had installed the Revolt Rom only to realize I wanted a different one. Unfortunately, I disabled recovery mode. So I had no form of recovery to flash it. From here, I tried to flash TWRP using flashtool, which evidently did not work and wound up leaving me with a phone that only had one display option: Blank Screen. lol And I panicked.
However, I calmed down and searched XDA. There was another form where a guy had killed his xperia almost as bad as I did. And if his Xperia Z still isn't working, then maybe this will help. (He flashed a GS3 ROM on his XZ)
I used the flashtool to flash DoomKernel, first. I had to turn of the device, forcefully, but holding the power button and volume up until it vibrated once, then three times, consecutively. From there, I got it into fastboot mode by holding down the volume up and reconnecting the device to the computer.
I was able to successfully flash the kernel, and then I powered off the device again and disconnected it from my PC. Finally, I held the volume down button down, reconnected it, getting into flashmode. From there I flashed TWRP, which somehow gave me CWM... But I'm not complaining...
Now I just did a clean wipe, installed the ROM I wanted, and am about to reboot.

Xperia Z C6603 doesn't boot properly, need help

Hi folks, i have a Xperia Z C6603 with unlocked Bootloader. I installed the latest 4.4.4 Stock Rom (.292) via Flashtool. The only thing it shows after it boots up, is the black screen with the back button (take a look at the pic) and it reboots after a couple of seconds. I've also flashed a 4.1.2 Stock Rom (.253) it boots up normally, but there is no WiFi or cellular connection. It also shows me IMEI unknown I've also tried the Emma program, with the same black screen and instantly reboot Anyone knows what i can do ?
I've had this exact same problem for the last couple of weeks, but today I installed the ftf files from this thread (C6603_10.5.1.A.0.292_RU.ftf) and everything seems to be working. I've no idea how, and I'm not sure whether I should dare to put the phone back to where it was before all this happened, but so far, so good.
Edit - Well it lasted a few hours, then froze and rebooted, and now it's back to broken again.
Thanks man, ill give it a try and report.

Complete loss of touch functions

After flashing the following ROM: D5803_23.4.A.0.546_Baltic.ftf with flashtool, which is a stock 5.1.1 ROM with root and without the original bloatware, I have completely lost the functionality of the touch screen. Even to switch off or reboot the phone I had to dismantle it and disconnect the battery. I have since reflashed stock ROMs: Kitkat and Lollipop 5.1.1 but I still have no touch screen. Have I killed my brand new phone or is there a solution to this?
Cheers.
is the touch screen connected to the motherboard?
instead dismantle the phone and disconnect the battery. hold power button for 10 seconds and the phone will turn off.

Hi. Thanks. I haven't been as far as the touch screen connections, only removed the back cover to disconnect the battery. I fear a touchscreen death due to flashing a corrupt rom?..
i think you flashed the firmware that does not match with your phone model. try flash different firmware and make sure the firmware match with your phone model. forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706
i had the same problem with the touch screen after i flashed wrong firmware on my tablet. i flashef correct rom and the touch screen works again

I have tried that already. I have tried a Kitkat ROM and a Lollipop ROM from the same list you mentioned...
have you wiped everything before you flashing? try flash NORDIC firmware version, don't execute everything, wipe everything and flash. i had flashed 23.4.A.0.546 NORDIC version and it works perfectly. my previous firmware was 23.4.A.0.546-GLOBAL

in Flashtool. check APPS_LOG, CACHE AND USERDATA and it will wipe and flash your phone for you
I had this problem, the non responsive touchscreen happened once then went away with a few restarts. Then a few days later it returned for good.
I reflashed it a to an old kitkat and the problem was still there, Then reset and updated the phone using the sony pc companion- still no good.
I ended up taking it back for warranty repair, sony put in a new board and screen.

That worked. I also pressed on the touchscreen connector before reflashing ( maybe I should have followed your advice and done that in the first place) so I don't know which sorted it but it did. Many thanks for your relentless support! :good::good::good:
FYI: I flashed a stripped 5.1.1 stock ROM with Xposed. No Sony bloatware on it. Couple bugs but seems otherwise stable:
Rooted Xperia Z3 Compact 5.1.1 ROM with Xposed installed and Bloatware removed

Blank screen on a flashed Sony Xperia Z1

So I attempted to flash the following ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-5-1-1-ftf-pre-rooted-file-t3200955?nocache=1 on a Z1C I purchased used from a local store using FlashTool in Linux. The FTF applied successfully, but upon reboot the screen doesn't display anything.
I can issue reboot commands via FlashTool and the phone reboots (I can see the detection status change in FlashTool) and if I reboot and hold power+vol down, It says it's entering Flashboot mode (but oddly, the light on the phone doesn't turn blue like it use to in Flashmode. It does change colours when charging).
The bootloader for this phone is locked and cannot be unlocked due to the carrier (arg! I didn't even realize this was a thing. This is the first Android phone out of all the ones I've owned dating back to my HTC Evo4G, where it is impossible to unlock the bootloader), so I have to use a stock rom/kernel. Since I can't run Cyanogen, all I want is the Stock Rom with Su/Root.
Anyone know why my display isn't working? I've also tried flashing the FTF file with data and cache wipe and still no dice. What am I doing wrong. What rom should I be using. I also forgot to make a backup of the ROM before I installed this FTF
Use XperiFirm to download a Z1C specific FTF and flash that. This is a D5503, right? The FTF you linked is for C690x devices.
If the phone is soft bricked, the display probably won't do anything. If you mishandled the mobile (dropped, hit, whatever), it's possible you caused hardware damage.

Z1 Couldn't boot even though flashed by flashtool and emma

Hi,i'm sabing my z1 by many ways,include flashtool,xperia companion and emma.
i've flash my device my flashtool for many times,after flashing flashtool didn't response any error,but my device still cant boot up.it didnt show any screen,and i couldnt check led status(i broke its cable)
xperia companion just told me UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo and i couldnt go to next step.
sony emma also tell me my device is flashed,but after that my device still in black screen and without any responses.
could anyone help me?sor for my bad eng.:crying:
Does the device atleast try to boot? does it show logos or just complete blackness from the point you turn it on?
if it's complete blackness you might have some screen connector issues, I guess, that's what id trouble shoot. if it does try to boot, be sure youre flashing the right firmware, double check or even re-download the firmware from xperi-firm. It may also be decrypted the wrong way, sometimes it messes up the installation process.
did it vibrate when you hold the power button?
I also had same problem, after flashed stock fw using flashtool got bootloop. The problem started when i changed from lolipop to nougat using custom rom, all is well, last thing i did was root phone with magisk but after i decided to go back to lollipop, flash lollipop cusrom rom in twrp, got bootloop then tried flashing stock using flashtool still bootloop, no sony logo just black screen but when i flashed back to nougat custom rom using twrp it booted. Is there something needed to do in case wanted to go back to fresh stock rom?
tips,
dont too often changging rom/wiping/formating/flashing firmware
coz it will highly decrease emmc life
