Hello, Im trying to flash my phone with Jerpelea`s tutorial, but I cant put this phone in Flash mode, it says to hold the Back button after power it off, but it seems to have no effect at all...
also hold the back buttom while powering the phone doesnt work...
can someone help me please??
Hold back button down first then plug USB in and continue to hold back button
Hello A have the same problem is there a other whay?
Thanks
you have to switch the phone off.. take out the battery for 5 seconds (min).. then.. this is the bit you need three hands for... you need to hold the back button whilst plugging in the USB cable.. continue to hold the back button until the software tells you to let go..
Whill this work for de x10i ??
Resisting the temptation for sarcasm....
Yes, it's the x10i method.

There is only only method for the X10a/i/mini/mini pro/1.6/2.1/2.2 into flashmode, as Mr Iceman has already explained, if it doesn't work for you you're doing something wrong or your phone is broke. To save having to use 3 hands, plug the lead into the phone first, then attaching it to the PC is a much simpler task.
Oki, thank you, I will test it later because I have a bigger problem like I said here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10781800#post10781800

Xperia sola is different than x10

Hey Teio, check if that video works for you, avoid all the information just pay attention on the hardware process:
Turn off phone or take out battery
Conect your USB cable to PC
Open Flashtool
Select Kernel that you wanna flash
Wait for pop up message
Connect your phone
Hold back button
Re Insert Battery
Put Xperia x10 in flash mode
Regards
Press volume down button

I know that you really doesnt want this advice...
Try bin4rys flashtool 'terminal' edition
I know by my own experience that with Gui it sometimes fails to discover the phone. I tried with terminal one, and i succeded.
Take it easy, read, think, read, think

Use PC Companion to repair your device.
Are you sure your phone is completely shut down when using flashtool? Coz back then, my phone kept on booting as long as the battery is inseeted. So I took the battery out, prepare the flashtool within one click to begin and wit sleight of hand I put on the battery, connect the usb and press the back button and voila, it detected my phone and start the flashing process

This should really help!
1. On the yellow triangle right click and select "Update Driver..."
2. Download "Non-Gui" version.
3. Put 1.6 firmware on "firmware" folder.
4. Open "X10flash.bat"
5. Write "2" and press enter.
6. Write "y" and press enter.
7. Select operating system, but DONT PRESS ENTER!
8. Now connect USB to computer, but not in phone.
9. Turn off phone.
10. On phone hold back key and connect phone with USB, but dont relase key.
11. On flasher press enter while holding back key.
12. Relase it when it says "Sending Loader..."
This should fix your problem. This is how I done it!

just tell me you have mini or mini pro.
as you said your phone blinks red led three times it indicates your battery is not charged dont worry even if you put it whole night it wont because i got similar problem.
i will give you instructions after you tell me which phone do you have mini or mini pro
Edit: Se my next post in your thread
First, you need charge your phone! But you need do this with charge adapter (Not USB cable + PC), later try to flash you phone with flasher or SEUS.
If you phone is no start or booted - pressed Home+back+Power - this rebooted tour device !

true
just forget every method, start seus when it asks you to connect phone
just connect your phone without pressing back key, phone will boot
now press home+back+power keys as kobzarcheg said
your phone will vibrate and turn off with green light LED on
release power and home key but not back key
your phone will be detected and seus will either download the updated firmware or repair your phone
If you still haven't fixed your phone yet..
1) You need to charge your phone with the wall charger (red light on phone generally means battery level low) you can't charge it from your computer it needs to be the wall charger.
2) If you have already tried the newer version of Flashtool and had no luck then try this one.. (it is the original one I still use because it never fails, all thanks to Bin4ry for this tool.. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing it if it help you out)
Flashtool2.1(non GUI)
3) download, unzip and copy the firmware .sin files into the Firmware folder in flashtool (should be 8 or 9 .sin files) make sure you download the right ones for your phone! (mini-E10 pro-U20) from here..
mini
mini pro
4) run the flashtool.bat file and follow on screen instructions.
When it asks you to connect phone in "Flashmode" I suggest pressing the power button and middle button for 3 sec (to re-boot your phone if its a mini or if its a pro then take the battery out and put it back in again) then hold down the back <-- button while you plug the usb cable into the phone.. it should detect the phone and start flashing.
If it doesn't work the first time unplug the phone and try again!
good luck

Yep, I have a mini so I know you can't remove the battery
I would leave the phone plugged into the charger for a few hours.. (even if you don't know if its charging)
with a mini, pressing the power button and the middle button at the same time and holding them down for 3-4 sec is like taking the battery out and putting it back in.. when Flashtool asks you to connect the phone then you just need to plug the phone in while holding down the back key (the phone should be off (or between reboots) for you to do this)
(also had you ever plugged the phone in and ran pc suite or SEUS before this problem.. I wonder if you have the drivers for your phone installed on your computer? if it had worked for PC suite or SEUS in the past it should be fine.

Install it... then put the phone into flash mode with two buttons... middle button below the keyboard where the three keys... button to turn on the cell phone... These two buttons are pressed and keeps... pres the thanks button if i helped you...

Not sure tho.. Connect your phone to pc.. Then give adb reboot command ( considering you know what ia adb ) your phone will reboot ( as u mini.,i guess u cannot pull out ur phone battery )
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
no i can't pull the battery out, or i would of already >.<;
and i can't give it adb commands because during the bootup screen the adb function is not enabled yet otherwise i could use the flashtool to do it =/

Hello,
I bull**** with my xperia alone.
I think I accidentally flashed the kernel that was for xperia S.
I think because after flash the phone will not turn over.
Initially holding the volume up and power the phone vibrated, now no longer does.
Now if I attack the usb and hit the power button turns on the red light and nothing else.
How can I recover, help please!
thanks
thanks
Try holding the volume down button and attach sola with USB cable to the pc and if led shows green light, then you might be able to reflash with stock firmware again!!

Now when i try to switch on the red light pulse for few second and then stop.
do you have other solutions?
Hi,
I have the SE X10i, one day i tried to power it on and it showed the 3 flash red light, so i charge the battery and then tried to power on the phone.
The phone vibrate once and nothing going up, the screen stay black, no light at the keys.
I tried to install new rom via SERUS, it fails.
tried install via flashtool and it stuck on flashing loader.
As i understand from the flashtool the phone can get into flashmode.(back key and insert the usb cable).
Any help please how to wake up this phone alive.
Thanks.

In flashtool select the Rom you want to flash
Remove battery
Insert USB cable
When software asks you to press back, hold back while putting battery back in, should go straight to flash mode and flash
