Right from the startup screen, the touch refused to function. To rectify this issue, I carried out three tweaks- restarted the device, performed a factory reset, and again sideloaded the ROM but this time to the second slot. Unfortunately, neither of the three worked. So I further dug into the issue and found out that the issue first came to light right after I had flashed the crDroid, so it might be the possible culprit. And that indeed turned out to be true. So to fix this issue, you will have to first flash the Pixel Experience Recovery [which will replace the crDroid recovery], then reflash the crDroid ROM, and finally, switch back to crDroid recovery. Once you do, the touch will be up and running again. So without further ado, let’s show you how this could be carried out.

Once that happens, again press and hold the Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down keys together for a few seconds and your device will boot to the Fastboot Mode.
