Mi a1 touch issues - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I was on stock Pie firmware on mi a1. I tried to install twrp recovery in my device and somehow messed it up while flashing stock roms and all those things. Now my touch is not working properly. I can flash stock pie rom via fastboot method, but cannot go through setup process because my touch is a bizzare. I then tried to flash stock oreo and nougat firmwares and stuck in bootloop. I'm even tried booting into TWRP to see if anything would help, but the touch issue seems to affect twrp as well. Please help me out with this.
Thanks.

Do you fixed your problem? I don't know what happened but after I flashed the stock ROM the touch screen is useless. I already flashed everything in miflash and the screen is still broken... I don't know what to do, help pls

Hi!
I already fix a similar problem on my phone.
After a screen replacement, I had a touch-screen issue which was detecting the touches, but at a pseudo-random position.
The solution that worked for me was to flash the first stock nougat image released (September 2017 ), and then to upgrade to pie using the classical way through OTAs.
But you have to be very careful while doing this as you will encounter some kind of weird issues if you do this the wrong way, like lost IMEIs and some others that I don't remember.
You'll find some tutorial on how to downgrade from Pie to Oreo and then I don't remember well but I think you will be able to flash directly android one 7.1.2.
I hope this will solve your touchscreen issue (let me know if that worked for you or if you have any other problem occurring)

[help][touch not working]

after booting deadman twrp 3.1.1 on los 16.1, touch of my phone is not working, even in twrp..
afte that I flash stock oreo via MI flash tool.. but no result, same problem, touch wrong.. like mad, ,
any fix there >???
please some one help me... plz
I think you should select clean flash again while flashing rom through mi flash tool!
Facing same problem, clean flash did not help. Please reply.
I had the same problem with a new Mi A1. After installing twrp and flashing LineageOS the touch screen didn't work correctly. When touching it, sometimes it would respond in the wrong spot. Most touches were unresponsive. Booting back to twrp had the same problem. When I flashed stock Oreo with MiFlash it still was broken.
I managed to fix it doing the following (files available on androidfilehost from a user named edwaine):
1. Download MiFlash2017-7-20-0.zip which seems to be the latest version
2. Download the latest official Nougat ROM (not Oreo)
tissot_images_7.12.19_20171219.0000.00_7.1_d39fa89aaf.tgz
3. Put the phone in fastboot mode by holding power + volume down
4. Did a "clean all and lock" with MiFlash 2017.7.20.0
After this my phone booted to a black screen for a few minutes and then showed the initial setup with a working touch screen. I believe the initial problem was caused by not properly upgrading to Oreo. I didn't even check the stock firmware when it arrived, because I didn't think there were any issues just flashing newer firmware. I will now try to upgrade properly.
I hope this helps someone.
Bro, how about upgrade to Oreo? Is the touch still fixed?

Faced the same problem. I played with the firmware and stopped working the touchscreen. This tip rolled back to 7.1,2 helped. The phone began to work.
I updated it after the initial configuration and connection to the network, the phone itself downloaded the update and installed it. Updated to 8.1.0.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi, touch, fingerprint and capacitive buttons stopped working after I installed Pixel experience ROM, I rolled back to 7.1.2 using Mi flash tool according to your suggestion (same versions of Miflash and ROM as suggested by you). Still the problem isnt solved, please help.

same problem how did you solved it ?
As my phone was in warranty, I was able to get it solved by replacing motherboard. Booting older versions of TWRP can get the touch working, this is suggestion is still to be tested. Try your luck if you can sort it out. In Pixel experience rom, there is an option of double tap to wake. I think thats the reason this fuss is all about. I think due to a different manufacturer, maybe our screens won't support it.
For those who still did not get touch working after installing stock nougat just unlock bootloader and boot twrp 3.2.1 (strictly never flash it...just hot boot it..... it's the reason ur touch got malfunctioning...)and reboot voila!...ur touch is restored
I still can't seem to get it to work.
Tried nougat and two oreo version but the issue remains.
The touchscreen does work after I boot the device but does not work after it wennt to sleep/lock screen.
The screen does also not work inside twrp
i also tried to install a custom rom via adb shell and twrp but the zip fails (9.0 and lineage)
I hope someone could help me

Disable DT2W and voila, fixed.
I don't know what the problem is, but I know how to "fix" it.

I'm in trouble too. Tried Nougat, but didn't work. Any other ideas?
Edit: now I can't reflash anything from Nougat. It just says "Device is locked"

Well i found a solution for my case. The problem for me was the version of platform tools i used to lock-unlock boot-loader, boot the system and running any commands install HAL3 etc..
Every installation i did (firmwares, from nougat to oreo and last to pie) was executed with the platform tools latest windows version that boot.img had (14,888KB) size.
The version that my touch screen began to work again is the platform tools r.28.0.1.windows that had the boot.img (34,928KB) size.
When i booted the phone in fastboot mode, i opened platform tools r.28.0.1.windows and run the command "fastboot boot boot.img" the phone rebooted and the touch was working again I think that the boot.img file of this version is the correct to boot the phone normally.
Hope this helps....

Screen problem

Hi everyone,
To flash the last rom (nightly ) of LineageOS ( in Oreo,from the 2 february), i had to put the firmware 5.1.7. After flash this firmware i was able to flash the ROM but it makes my phone extremely slow and with screen issues (i can still use the tactile but the screen doesnt follow).
I restored but the problem stills then i put le last stable ROM from Oneplus on android pie (9.0.3). It is a bit better (still really slow) and after a moment i get now like a white noise (same as on TV but with color moreover) by wink ( was more and more often on Google Maps), I had to reboot cause i couldnt use more my phone.
Thanks you in advance !
Ps : I've got TWRP from siankatabg and i'm not rooted , if you want me to send log tell me how pls.
Up :good:
When you were flashing did you used this instructions?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
Flash codework's TWRP for Pie. After that reboot into recovery, wipe everything down and use clean flash instructions for your OTA. It should be able to fix any issue you were having. If not let me know.
Yes i followed the clean flash way (it didn't resolve my issue) but my issue occured before i flash pie, when i flashed lineageOS 15.1 with the firmware 5.1.7 required (which i flashed too). A restoration didnt change that issue.
I tried with the TWRP from codework but it doesnt recognise my internal stockage.
Thanks of your time.

Hi, try wiping everything down with the new TWRP, after that reboot into recovery once more. Install last normal working OOS to see if that helps you. If not maybe it is hardware issue? Let me know once you wiped and installed the last working OOS on it.
I have installed multiple roms and firmware updates on my device with codework's TWRP and never had big issue like this. In my opinion best option for you to trace your steps back to the last working version of your os and try learning what might have gone wrong.

My issues seem gone since few weeks with the last OTA (it very rarely happens now). I don't know what caused that even if i use my backup.
Thanks for your support !

Touchscreen not working

Dear all,
I had been using the A1 with Oreo, rooted with magisk, and I have enjoyed the device pretty much. OTA updates went smooth, but after upgrading from Oreo to Pie I've ended up in a bootloop. In the course of fixing this (applying various Nougat, Oreo and Pie stock images) I could resolve the bootloop, but now the touchscreen does not work properly anymore.
Obviously the x and y axis are totally wrong and trying to push a key or button does not work since the tap is registered somewhere else on the screen. Beside this, all other sensors and functions are working to 100%. I can only control the device via OTG/mouse.
I have tried a multitude of recommendations found in various threads on Xiaomi or XDA site, but none of the tips like applying a dedicated old Nougat ROM has led to any success. Furthermore I could not use any of the known apps (e.g. tscalibrate2.apk) to renew the calibration data.
I am completly out of ideas and warranty since I've bought the device in Germany where Xiaomi is not present. The problem persists on any ROM I have tried so far, whether it is tissot_images_7.12.19_7.1, tissot_images_V10.0.4.0.PDHMIXM_9.0, TWRP 3.2.1 and many others.
My questions are:
1) Does anybody know where the calibration data is stored? Is it e.g. in the persist.img which I have flashed from stock already without sucess?
2) Is there any working solution to manually or app wise renew or configure the calibration data?
3) Are there any known approaches to fix this by using a special rom or fastboot or adb sequence or via TWRP?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help on this.
Best regards,
Merian

My touch screen is working but it is off after tying to flash a custom ROM

Hi, I hope you guys are doing good at these times.
I was trying to load a stable version of Lineage OS 16 on my MI A1. But, when I flashed TWRP 3.3 the touch screen was working but very weird. So I booted the phone out of TWRP and the issue persisted.
The issue is similar to what I found on these two threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/touch-t3769226
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/touch-screen-haywired-twrp-t3922617
I tried booting stock N android (using this file "tissot_images_7.8.23_20170823.0000.00_7.1_61cf97d794.tgz" with MiFlash Tool but the issue still persisted on the touch screen.
If you guys have any ideas please let me know.
Thanks, and have a nice day.
