touchscreen issue after repair - HTC Sensation

i replaced my ear speaker by myself, after that i have problems with touchscreen, in upper part of scrren it lacks responsivnes, if i touch on that part it registers like i touched that part and the part 2 inches lower, and acts crazy all the time...i have had problems with unresponsivnes, sense circle etc. but this is something new, tried flashing recalibration but doesn't work, same...maybe something went wrong while changing ear speaker? disassembled it again, checked the digitizer flat ribbon, everything sits perfectly, maybe i damaged it during replacement
however, tried reading digitizer type (model), it seems it's non of those mentioned in thread about digitizer models...should have writen it down, probably will have to change digitizer

tried that, it helps with the unresponsivness problem (circle and all that) but not in this case, guess it's a faulty digitizer, will be replacing him in a week...but i ran into a thread about different digitizer models, checked the model on mine, it's non of those, it has some other pyd mark...

Touchscreen issue fixed
The only working solution i find that works perfectly for touchscreen problems
I have tried every single solution for touchscreen issues on this site. I have found one that is basically guaranteed to work here it is:
INSTRUCTIONS: (YOUR PHONE WILL NEED TO BE ALREADY S-OFF AND UNLOCKED FOR THIS TO WORK WHICH YOU CAN DO THEN RETURN TO THIS TUTORIAL)
YOU WILL NEED TO DOWNLOAD THEESE 2 FILES
Recalibration tool - http://www.mediafire.com/?akul70qy128lo3u
Revolutionary hboot - http://www.mediafire.com/?1ed2y87pld66638
1. Take the NBH file from the provided link, and place it on root of your SD Card.
2. Boot into bootloader, by turning off your phone and then while its off hold the volume down button and then hold down the power button until the bootloader comes on then release bot of the buttons.
3. Once you’ve booted into the bootloader wait a second and you will notice that it searches for and finds the nbh file that you put on your sd card, It will then proceed to flash it. Some instructions will appear on the screen very quickly for about 2 seconds asking you to hold the phone horizontally while it calibrates it. Do this quickly and follow the rest of the instructions.
4. You will now see a screen appear giving you 2 options. Run the first option by selecting using the volume button if its not already selected and press power to run the process then run the second one once it is complete. Then simply remove the battery from your phone to turn it off.
5. Once again using the button combination, boot into the bootloader and select recovery. Once recovery boots into clockwork mod, do a factory reset and wipe data as well as the dalvik cache. Then reboot your phone.
Your touchscreen should now be calibrated and working perfectly.
Do not forget to delete the nbh file from your sd card once you’re done so it does not auto flash next time you go into your bootloader.
IMPORTANT!!!!!
If the process of flashing the nbh file does not work and gives you an error like this
“Security fail! Update fail! Press <POWER> to reboot.”
This is because the firmware is not the right one needed to flash the file and this can be corrected by flashing the Revolutionary hboot v 1.27.0000 following these instructions:
1. First make sure that you deleted the nbh file from the sd card root.
2. Place the file named “PG58IMG.zip” at the root of your sd card.
3. Power off your phone and use the button combination to boot into the bootloader.
4. The file will be detected and automatically start to flash, follow any onscreen instructions if necessary until this process completes.
5. Once this completes your phone should boot so that you can delete the zip file from your sd. If the phone is taking too long to boot you will need to remove the battery then the sd card. VERY IMPORTANT “With the sd card out of the phone” you will need to boot into the bootloader once more and enter recovery and factory reset the phone as well as wipe the data and dalvic cache.
6. Now the phone should be powered down and the turned back on. After the phone is finished booting up you should then replace the sd card and use whatever file explorer you have to delete the zip file from the root of the folder so that it does not autoboot the next time you enter the bootloader.(or you can do this whole step by deleting the zip file using a card reader and your computer)
7. You have now successfully flashed the correct firmware/hboot which is the revolutionary hboot required for the recalibration tool to work. Now you can try to reflash the calibration tool following the instructions at the very top of this tutorial again with the nbh file and it should work since I had to go through all this for mine to work and now my phone touchscreen work like a charm and is in perfect working order.
8. Thanks. I do not take credit for this fix, I have simply made a detailed explanation of how to get it to work as intended by this user on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2437293

I was trying to flash my phone to a diffent ROM< but now everytime that i have tryed, it gives me an error - get newer updater. I have used CUstom RUU V. 1 that comes with most roms, and i have used the 5.22. The Hard SPL version is 1.00liPof. Help!!!
I think you may have the wrong section, what phone are u using, i dnt thats a kaiser hardspl
Hard SPL 1.00lipro is a hardspl for the kaiser, i have it on my kaiser. Although the 5.22 he refers to i have no idea what they mean?
Opening poster try to explain in more detail what it is that you are trying to do, i.e. what rom it is that you are trying to install, what windows you are using on your pc etc.
If you cant use that ruu try this one i attached
Ah i see, ive never really had that problem even though ive flashed on xp, vista and 7. Very weird. Try changing Hardspl.Good Luck and use the ruu that has been given here
had that problem
When i switched to windows 7 i had a similar issue. There should be an update now that you plugged your phone in to the c. Try to see if there is a windows update that shows up now.
Hi,
Or Even try to mount a virtual machine in Xp with Vmware or similar...
Good luck

Update your hardspl to 3.29 or 3.34. The spl you are using is for WM 6.0

flash via micro sd. easy, faster, gets rid of a middle man. and update your spl.
Flashing Via MicroSD Card

3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to KAISIMG.nbh
4. Copy the KAISIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Hold in the Power and Camera buttons, then press the reset button with the stylus for about 3 seconds until the BootLoader screen appears
7. You will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
8. A message will then pop up asking you to press the Power button to start the update
9. Press power button to start flashing
10. Once phone finishes flashing and says Update Complete, reset with the stylus
11. When it gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET
(press left and right softkey buttons on the front and hold in reset with stylus until message appears)
12. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Clear Data

First of all tell me about your hd2, what rom is it currently running (stock 2.08, 3.14?) , what radio do you have? Whats your sd card?
All these questions are relevant to make droid work.
I'm not sure if this will work or not. But I had a similar problem when I first rooted my HD2. Under the Android folder, there is a text file: startup.txt
Open it up. The last line I've found typically reads "boot". Now, I don't know if this affects everyone. But after reading for 18+ hours when I first rooted my phone, I remembered reading somewhere that that particular line should read "bootlinux". And I've found that no matter what build I use, if I don't change it to bootlinux, it wouldn't get past the HTC. So try adding "linux" after the "boot". Then try starting it up again with CLRCAD.exe then haret.exe.
Hope that works for you.

Here hope this helps! any questions feel free to ask...
I just posted this in another thread to clear some things up for some guys ...... hope this clears up the process for you a bit
............................excerpted from previous post........................................
********BTW i have attached a little template that i use when flashing various roms and storing them on my PC. has task29, HSPL & MAGLDR already in it. all u need to do is go to the xda hd2 master radio thread to grab your appropriate radio and put that into the empty radio file. then find the rom you want to test out and usually the developer will have both rom (obviously) and the appropriate CWM that u should use with it and just put those in their respective empty folders i have in the attached file. that way all the steps below will line up to the files i have attached
OH YEAH, FORGOT... THESE STEPS ARE TO BE DONE AFTER THE INITIAL PREREQUISITES i.e. windows mobile device center, activesync, proper spl version...blah blah blah
--------the following steps 1 - 4 are to be preformed while at the tri-color boot screen (easiest way to reach is to turn off your phone while its connected to your PC then immediately hold volume down button till you see it n wait for it to say usb in the white section).
(by the way your device will ALWAYS automatically restart itself after a couple seconds if it is shut down while plugged in via USB to either a wall/car charger or hooked up to a PC this is normal and a small hiccup either due to the use of magldr or the hspl but dont worry)...cant quite remember
1. run task 29
-double click the only icon in file if your using the one provided by doloop
-wait for it to run and do its thing. when its finished it will automatically turn off your device so be sure to hold down the volume key as soon as it does.
2. install radio
-run the "customRUU" file with the HD2 icon in the radio of your choosing
-it will operate in a similar fashion as the task 29, automatically turning off device upon completion.... down on the vol key
3. install hspl3/hspl4
-run the "HSPL3_PKG/HSPL4_PKG" file. should be the only one in there
-make sure you select 2.08.HSPL in the setup and it will execute itself just like the installers in the previous two steps n turn off your phone... down vol key
4. install magldr113
-make sure your selecting "rom update utility" in the magldr113 file. dont run the "DAF" it wont work properly if you do and youll get errors
-BUT THIS TIME AS IT TURNS ITSELF OFF HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON ON YOUR DEVICE AS IT BOOTS UP UNTIL U GET TO MAGLDR AND CONTINUE TO HOLD IT DOWN UNTIL YOU SEE ABOUT 12 DIFFERENT OPTIONS...
5. install CWM recovery
-go to option 5 "USB Flasher" and hit the green call key. wait a few moments till it shows USB....USB make sure the second usb pops up and your PC recognizes the connection. then when it does sync you get to......
-while still in the usb flasher mode above, simply run you desired CWM recovery which should the one your developer recommends for the builds as the requirements tend to vary from rom to rom.
-this is achieved by selecting the "DAF" file from the clockworkmod recovery your using
-and again this installer will shut off your device upon completion and HOLD DOWN THE POWER KEY LIKE ABOVE TILL YOUR BACK AT THE MAGLDR MAIN MENU (with options 1-12).
6. install rom
-now go to option 8 "AD Recovery" and hit the green call button to enter into the CWM recovery u just installed
-after it loads up (GO!GO!GO!) go down to the "mounts and storage" option that is third from the bottom and hit the call key.
-once there go to the last option "mount USB storage" and hit the call key.
-give your PC a few moments to recognize the sd card for your device and choose to open it when your PC prompts with the regular file explorer or just find it and double click on the newly recognized drive (sdcard) if your PC doesnt auto prompt you.
-now the new drive (sdcard) should be empty (depending...) then just find the desired rom you chose to use, right click on it and copy.....then over to the new drive (sdcard) and paste. might take a min or two depending on the roms size
-once the copying is complete hit the call button to "unmount" your sdcard then the back button on your device till your back at the CWM main screen
-now go to the fifth option down and "install zip from sdcard" and hit the call button
-now select the second option "choose zip from sdcard" and select the zip file you just copied to your sdcard. then it will begin to install the rom and all rom install times vary by build. some take a minute, some seem like they take forever.
-once installation is complete hit the back button till your back at CWM main screen and choose the last option which is to "power off"
-then tap the power button(if u unplugged it from usb otherwise it wil reboot by itself) to turn on your device and give it some time for the initial boot and load as it has to set up everything u just installed. subsequent boot wont take as long but again it can all vary from rom to rom.
-after initial load and a successful bootup you should arrive at ether the lockscreen or a startup screen. give the rom a few more mins to settle and dont hit any buttons. then unlock the device or skip through the startup options and get to the home screen. maybe give it another min to settle the launcher and the last bit of data and resist the urge to mess with the features. your gonna hate this but hold down the power button and select power off device from the popup menu. i know it sucks but it is best practice when flashing roms. after device shuts off wait a few seconds and turn it back on and let it reboot. should be faster this time and when u get to your lockscreen simply give it a few seconds to settle again, unlock and go to main launcher a wait a couple more seconds for it to finish settling and.....have fun! (every time i restart my device for any reason i will always give it a few moments to finish loading up before just blazing away with the apps)
WOW! maybe its not so abridged after all, but oh well tried my best to be as clear as possible so people can utilize their HD2 to its fullest potential.
HOPE THIS HELPS AND IF INDEED I HAVE PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON

It could be a corrupted zip. Try downloading again, if you've not tried that.

Hi..Thanks for the reply. I have downloaded many firmwares and still no joy.Rather annoying really as its just the last step and really need to finish it off. Anyone having a android firmware I could download? Again thanks in advance.
Finally managed to put android 2.2 on, don't know how but it is on there...but no connection to the internet, it says on the setting for mobile network no connection.
If someone could list how exactly to put android on my hd2 in lamans terms (lol) I would really appreciate it..i.e. what to flash first and so on.
I dont know if you read the following guides but they are pretty awesome. Follow the first link in order to get 2.2 on. I know you said you did it but I would do it again since I dont like starting in between steps, rather do it start to finish. Follow the second link to put another ROM on.

Unroot from Microsd help

I've looked every I'm running insert coin ics rom for the HTC sensation. The charger and the usb data slot is snapped i can charge but cant flash from the comp. Or read data from the phone.
I need to unroot from the microsd card back to stock ics in uk orange is this poss?? As i need my warranty back please help
I've found this post -
METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT
Now the method I found to debrand (rather than messing about with CIDs), is using an ENG HBOOT, this is only temporary as the ROM we flash later on overwrites it.
Grab the file below (thanks to Bin4ry), and put it in the root of your SD Card. (i.e. if your on Windows, X:/ [where X is the letter of your Sensation's SD Card])
Quoteriginally Posted by Bin4ry
ENG Hboot:
[thanks Rahan95 for dumping ]
http://81.89.105.12/~bin4ry/hboot/PG58IMG.zip
Flash ENG HBOOT
1. EITHER:
1a. Shut down your phone, then take out your battery and put it back in.
OR:
1b. Make sure fastboot is disabled in settings and shut down your phone (This can be done via Settings > Power> Untick "FAST BOOT" at the bottom.)
2. Keep hold of the volume down button and switch your phone on.
3. When it asks "Do you want to start the update", press Volume Up to accept
5. Press Power Off to reboot back to normal homescreen
6. Remove PG58IMG.zip from your memory card
Download an RUU
1. You now need to pick the RUU you wish to flash, a good source is this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1074559
To debrand my Vodafone Sensation, I chose "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.90 0 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed"
2. Once you have downloaded the RUU you would like to flash, run it (it can take a while to load), and stop when you get the welcome screen, which has a picture of a Sensation on the left and a red caution notice on the right.
3. Move this window out of the way (it forces itself into foreground), then open up windows explorer and go to:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp
4. Then sort by Date Modified. Find the newest folder with a long random sequence of numbers as its name, go in here and you should see, three files and a folder: corecomp, dotnetinstaller, IBSEW64. (the files may be different on 32-bit OS), now go into the folder which has another long random name.
In there amongst a lot of files (use search if you need to), you will find rom.zip. This is the rom we want to flash!
5. Copy the rom.zip file to the root of your SD Card
(i.e. if your on Windows, X:/ [where X is the letter of your Sensation's SD Card])
6. Rename the rom.zip you just put on your SD Card, to PG58IMG.zip (ensure you do not rename it to PG58IMG.zip.zip or it wont work!)
7. Find the "HTC Android ROM Update Utility" Window, and hit Cancel.
THIS IS YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO BACKUP DATA, ALL EXISTING DATA, CONTACTS, MESSAGES SETTINGS, APPS, ETC, WILL BE DELETED AFTER THE NEXT STEP.
MAKE SURE THE BATTERY INDICATOR IN THE NOTIFICATION AREA SHOWS GREEN, NOT ORANGE OR RED, BEFORE CONTINUING.
Flash RUU (rom.zip)
1. EITHER:
1a. Shut down your phone, then take out your battery and put it back in.
OR:
1b. Make sure fastboot is disabled in settings and shut down your phone (This can be done via Settings > Power> Untick "FAST BOOT" at the bottom.)
2. Keep hold of the volume down button and switch your phone on.
3. When it asks "Do you want to start the update", press Volume Up to accept (this can take a while and its normal for the system part to appear to go in a loop several times)
5. Press Power Off to reboot to first time setup.
6. Your phone is now debranded!

I've found this post -
METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT
Now the method I found to debrand (rather than messing about with CIDs), is using an ENG HBOOT, this is only temporary as the ROM we flash later on overwrites it.
Grab the file below (thanks to Bin4ry), and put it in the root of your SD Card. (i.e. if your on Windows, X:/ [where X is the letter of your Sensation's SD Card])

Flash ENG HBOOT
1. EITHER:
1a. Shut down your phone, then take out your battery and put it back in.
OR:
1b. Make sure fastboot is disabled in settings and shut down your phone (This can be done via Settings > Power> Untick "FAST BOOT" at the bottom.)
2. Keep hold of the volume down button and switch your phone on.
3. When it asks "Do you want to start the update", press Volume Up to accept
5. Press Power Off to reboot back to normal homescreen
6. Remove PG58IMG.zip from your memory card
Download an RUU
1. You now need to pick the RUU you wish to flash, a good source is this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1074559
To debrand my Vodafone Sensation, I chose "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.90 0 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed"
2. Once you have downloaded the RUU you would like to flash, run it (it can take a while to load), and stop when you get the welcome screen, which has a picture of a Sensation on the left and a red caution notice on the right.
3. Move this window out of the way (it forces itself into foreground), then open up windows explorer and go to:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp
4. Then sort by Date Modified. Find the newest folder with a long random sequence of numbers as its name, go in here and you should see, three files and a folder: corecomp, dotnetinstaller, IBSEW64. (the files may be different on 32-bit OS), now go into the folder which has another long random name.
In there amongst a lot of files (use search if you need to), you will find rom.zip. This is the rom we want to flash!
5. Copy the rom.zip file to the root of your SD Card
(i.e. if your on Windows, X:/ [where X is the letter of your Sensation's SD Card])
6. Rename the rom.zip you just put on your SD Card, to PG58IMG.zip (ensure you do not rename it to PG58IMG.zip.zip or it wont work!)
7. Find the "HTC Android ROM Update Utility" Window, and hit Cancel.
THIS IS YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO BACKUP DATA, ALL EXISTING DATA, CONTACTS, MESSAGES SETTINGS, APPS, ETC, WILL BE DELETED AFTER THE NEXT STEP.
MAKE SURE THE BATTERY INDICATOR IN THE NOTIFICATION AREA SHOWS GREEN, NOT ORANGE OR RED, BEFORE CONTINUING.
Flash RUU (rom.zip)
1. EITHER:
1a. Shut down your phone, then take out your battery and put it back in.
OR:
1b. Make sure fastboot is disabled in settings and shut down your phone (This can be done via Settings > Power> Untick "FAST BOOT" at the bottom.)
2. Keep hold of the volume down button and switch your phone on.
3. When it asks "Do you want to start the update", press Volume Up to accept (this can take a while and its normal for the system part to appear to go in a loop several times)
5. Press Power Off to reboot to first time setup.
6. Your phone is now debranded!
7. Remove PG58IMG.zip from your memory card

The only solution I know to revert to stock is in step 5 THIS guide , but it requires a connection with the PC. The guide you find isn't for your problem, if I understand well. Have a read here also to understand why you can't revert to stock without PC connection. sorry I can't help more
P.S If you want to turn it back for repairs don't worry too much, they usually never check if you are rooted. Just install a custom ROM that looks like stock and change your boot image to the Orange one
Well that's the best idea I think what rom ics looks the most like stock.

There is a thread with stock 3.33 based ROM in the dev section, just search for it
Get here a stock 3.33 ROM
You'll be unrooted, just flash this ROM from recovery.
Now I don't know about your mobile company if it has a boot logo or smth.
Make sure you are SuperCID

[Q] Touchscreen and Touch Buttons Unresponsive

Hi xda!
So far to fix this problem I have gone through steps outlined here including:
Update Firmware (CM11)
Discharge/Recharge face down
Insulating SD card slot
Modifying grounding pin
On top of this I have replaced the digitizer.
I'm currently at my whits end with repairing my Sensation and was wondering if anyone had any advice.
The touchscreen and 4 buttons are not working and record no input when tested with CWM-recovery key test. The screen and lights of the buttons work.
With the touch not working in recovery I would assume hardware, what other issues other than the digitizer could cause this?
This is my first post so apologies if I have missed any etiquette!
Many thanks!
100% guaranteed touchscreen issues fix
The only working solution i find that works perfectly for touchscreen problems
I have tried every single solution for touchscreen issues on this site. I have found one that is basically guaranteed to work here it is:
INSTRUCTIONS: (YOUR PHONE WILL NEED TO BE ALREADY S-OFF AND UNLOCKED FOR THIS TO WORK WHICH YOU CAN DO THEN RETURN TO THIS TUTORIAL)
YOU WILL NEED TO DOWNLOAD THEESE 2 FILES
Recalibration tool - http://www.mediafire.com/?akul70qy128lo3u
Revolutionary hboot - http://www.mediafire.com/?1ed2y87pld66638
1. Take the NBH file from the provided link, and place it on root of your SD Card.
2. Boot into bootloader, by turning off your phone and then while its off hold the volume down button and then hold down the power button until the bootloader comes on then release bot of the buttons.
3. Once you’ve booted into the bootloader wait a second and you will notice that it searches for and finds the nbh file that you put on your sd card, It will then proceed to flash it. Some instructions will appear on the screen very quickly for about 2 seconds asking you to hold the phone horizontally while it calibrates it. Do this quickly and follow the rest of the instructions.
4. You will now see a screen appear giving you 2 options. Run the first option by selecting using the volume button if its not already selected and press power to run the process then run the second one once it is complete. Then simply remove the battery from your phone to turn it off.
5. Once again using the button combination, boot into the bootloader and select recovery. Once recovery boots into clockwork mod, do a factory reset and wipe data as well as the dalvik cache. Then reboot your phone.
Your touchscreen should now be calibrated and working perfectly.
Do not forget to delete the nbh file from your sd card once you’re done so it does not auto flash next time you go into your bootloader.
IMPORTANT!!!!!
If the process of flashing the nbh file does not work and gives you an error like this
“Security fail! Update fail! Press <POWER> to reboot.”
This is because the firmware is not the right one needed to flash the file and this can be corrected by flashing the Revolutionary hboot v 1.27.0000 following these instructions:
1. First make sure that you deleted the nbh file from the sd card root.
2. Place the file named “PG58IMG.zip” at the root of your sd card.
3. Power off your phone and use the button combination to boot into the bootloader.
4. The file will be detected and automatically start to flash, follow any onscreen instructions if necessary until this process completes.
5. Once this completes your phone should boot so that you can delete the zip file from your sd. If the phone is taking too long to boot you will need to remove the battery then the sd card. VERY IMPORTANT “With the sd card out of the phone” you will need to boot into the bootloader once more and enter recovery and factory reset the phone as well as wipe the data and dalvic cache.
6. Now the phone should be powered down and the turned back on. After the phone is finished booting up you should then replace the sd card and use whatever file explorer you have to delete the zip file from the root of the folder so that it does not autoboot the next time you enter the bootloader.(or you can do this whole step by deleting the zip file using a card reader and your computer)
7. You have now successfully flashed the correct firmware/hboot which is the revolutionary hboot required for the recalibration tool to work. Now you can try to reflash the calibration tool following the instructions at the very top of this tutorial again with the nbh file and it should work since I had to go through all this for mine to work and now my phone touchscreen work like a charm and is in perfect working order.
8. Thanks. I do not take credit for this fix, I have simply made a detailed explanation of how to get it to work as intended by this user on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2437293

[Q] Help: xperia z1 Bootloop after installing CWM (Video) (tried google)

I also posted this in the sony xperia forum, but seeing as this is more active I will also try here. Sorry for the double post, but I'm sort of desperate.
So I brought myself in a bad situation.
Here's a video showing what the phone does and me trying to get into CWM:
http ://www .youtube. com/watch?v=5F2Gg_eU7Yw
I was trying to root my sony xperia z1 compact using this guide: http ://techglen. com/2014/02/05/root-xperia-z1-compact-d5503-4-3-14-2-a-1-114-official-firmware/
Following the steps it asked me to CWM 6 using this guide: http ://techglen. com/2014/02/05/install-cwm-6-on-xperia-z1-compact-d5503-4-3-14-2-a-1-114-official-firmware/2
I checked firmware and version of my phone and everything was correct.
I must admit I have no clue as to what I'm doing but I'm normally ok with tech stuff and the guide seemed detailed and trust worthy so I thought I could do it following the guide.
I got the bootloading unlocked just fine and started to install CWM. I made it this far:
- After downloading CWM kernel zip (Its not the actual name of file, just a reference name), place it in internal or external SD Card of your smartphone
- Now extract CWM kernel zip on your PC’s desktop and copy boot.img
- Paste this file inside the folder where you have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot
- Now turn off your smartphones completely
- Plug in mobile’s USB in cable in PC port only
- Hold Volume up button and plug in USB cable in mobile’s port
- LED will turn blue (If it does not remain blue for long, then read Optional part in bootloader unlocking method explained above
- Once you are successfully in fastboot mode, then you can continue
- Now type Fastboot flash boot boot.img and press Enter
- It will flash boot.img file on your device
- Now unplug the device and boot it up
- As soon as you see purple colored LED, start pressing volume up and down buttons repeatedly, until you are in CWM mode
- In CWM Mode, select “Install Zip”

I downloaded CWM .img file, placed it in my ADB folder and placed a copy on my phone. Using ADB I flashed the CWM .img (bolded step), unplugged the phone and the CWM screen came up and I was able to navigate using the volume buttons. So far so good.
At this point I realized that the CWM .img file I had downloaded and placed on my phone was not a zip file and I couldn't find it. So I hit reboot to boot up my phone normally so I could place the .img packed as a .zip file on the phone. Some error message came up, but I didn't manage to read it but caught something saying root I think.
As it rebooted the sony logo came up but then the purple led turned on and it seemed to boot into CWM again. A brief screen explaining how to navigate came up as you see in the video below (but with no menu options to actually navigate) before it rebooted and repeated.
I can still use ADB and fastboot, but I can't get into CWM and I can't boot normally.
Edit: Just tried "adb devices" and it says "list of devices attached" and then it's just blank. I can't push files onto the phone (error: device not found) but I can still reboot the device fusing fastboot and there's no error when I try and reflash cwm. Reading up on this it would seem that usb debugging has somehow been turned back on so adb can't acces the phone but fastboot can. Any way to turn on usb debugging through fastboot?
I tried a forced shutdown using the off button next to the sim card but it didn't help.
The phone is not recognized by my computer so I can't place or delete files from it.
Here's a video showing what the phone does and me trying to get into CWM:
http ://www .youtube. com/watch?v=5F2Gg_eU7Yw
If I don't press the volume button it will just keep looping in the sony logo and purple led light.
What I want to do is get back to a normal boot, remove the CWM .img file and put the .img file packed as .zip file onto the phone and retry the process.
I have googled a lot of options, but most results are a year old and I hardly understand half of what is being suggested. If anyone could please walk me through the process in a language that a total idiot can understand I would be so grateful and hopefully get my sleep back.
