HI
I need help urgently.
Yesterday my phone was blocked while writing a sms, button gave no sign of life, so I removed the battery and turned on the cellphone.
The mobile phone blocked again when writing a sms, and went back to do the same thing, but this time the mobile phone is not entered in MIUI and also did not appear the logo of SONY. It vibrates and lights up when I turn the backlight of the screen, but does not anymore.
I exchanged PM's with Sandy7, and he told me to flash the stock ftf via FlashTool, but I've used all the official ROMS for sk17i I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029238
And it's always the same problem.
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance.
PS: Sorry for my english
This look likes a hardware defect. First, i was think about wrong kernel, but when i read your post again, i'm sure there is a problem with hardware. Maybe memory. I have same problem, but in GB. I'm just remove my sd, and everything working ok. So try it without SD. Maybe is not this fault, but you can try it.

Thanks for the tips but none worked: (
One thing I noticed was that the mobile phone charging the LED functions normally and if I press the 'HOME' the backlight illuminates. but no image.
I think the better way must go to Sony service.They will help you fix it. I think its belong hardware.

here is the situation
the x10 is dead, when trying to turn it on nothing happens(no vibration w/ black screen)
if take the battery out and put it back and try to turn it on, the phone would vibrate a bit with black screen
the programs however do recognize the phone when plugged in
well i basiclly tried three things to try to repair it
1. SEUS-which oddly tells me that the phone is up to date but the phone is still a brick
2. PCC- which gave me err
3. Flashtool- which gave me err too(i was trying with X10i 2.1.A.435 Global Generic)
when i tried to flash the phone it told me to turn on the phone then turn on Unkonwn Sources and Debugging... which obviously i can't do
i believe this would be the 1000th time someone post thread about this problem but i have to ask for some help after spending my whole sunday afternoon trying to solve the problem by myself.
i'm on the edge of giving up so this will be my last attempt if nothing new comes up
╰(￣▽￣)╮ thanks to anyone who finished reading this boring thread and if there is a suggestion feel free to post it thanks again
I think we both have the same problem, I tried flashing it to the generic 1.6 fw and I was able to revive the phone. After which I updated it to 2.1 fw, now it seems to be working fine.
maybe a physical problem?
please try to flash with flashtool and post a log
Well, I also had a similar issue after updating a busybox from market on CM 6.1.3 rom.
Download the Flash tool & rom for the following link, follow the instruction & you are done my friend.

Hello to all, I have received an xperia MINI from China and it has lots of applications on chinese, and NO google apps at all (neither android market). I know that I can remove this unwanted applications and install the desire ones, but I think it would be better to re-flash the phone with a stock rom/firmware and start from there. Do you have any recomendation? After doing this, I'll solve the overheat touch buttons problems.
THank you all for your time
yes, the best way is reflash to stock rom

checkout this thread Little Flashtool tutorial
I'm traying the wotan client but my phone won't reboot, it hangs on "Booting Phone" I have try restarting the process, but it doesn't work. Any idea how to solve this? If not... I'll try your way
I cant fix it with the wotan client, neither the flashtool (don't recognize the firmware :S) I'm sending back the cellphone to the seller... It also has the problem of the crazy touch buttons when overheat.
Please close this threat, thank you!

Rooted?
If not, may be the motherboard. I've got the same problem with mine, and I'm going to return it to store for a fix.
You may also want to try to plug it to the computer and open PC Companion and try the "repair" function. But backup everything you need first, I don't think everything get's deleted but be aware that it may happen.
Do u overclock it?

Not To My Knowledge @ The Mo Its Just Running Standard Firmware & Kernal..!
Hi, I got a similar problem. Since a few weeks ago, flashed a ROM and when I've tried to use the phone, it keeps turning off randomly, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after hours. So, I tried to take it back to the clean original 2.3.3 ROM, but it keeps happening. ¿Any idea? ¿Any solution? Please, help me.

Didnt PCCompanion/seus fix it? And still persists?
Then it's time to get a new chipset.
Or a new device.

I have been visiting this site ever since I first read about X10 & was fascinated by it (I have always loved SE phones). Anyway, I have since gotten an X10i (AT&T) & have de-branded it as well as unlocking & rooting it. Here goes:
I installed Champs' Rom (x10sV9-addon) but didn't want all the clutter he had pre-installed. To make a long story short, I went back to Wolf's ROM via Xrecovery but something went wrong. I can no longer boot into Xrecovery & after SonyEricsson logo, screen goes blank, not black/blue just blank. The other problem is, since I can't see the screen, I can't turn on the USB connection so my PC/Flashtool/SEUS can recognize my device so I can fix it. This happened while trying to re-install Wolf's ROM & installing the following zip files via Xrecovery: Bravia_Xloud engine, Xperia S Player, Champ + Bar, x10_gb_stock_wifi_modules. Then I rebooted & I get the blank screen. I know it is on because I can turn the volume all the way down to vibrate. The "home" button still lights up. PLEASE, I need someone's help with this one as I am no expert, just a moderate tinkerer. ANY help/incite would be appreciated. Sorry, I can't even give you any screenshots. Can anyone out there help me out? Thanx in advance.

You said the button still lights up? can you get into recovery? if so just wipe system and install a rom! and try flashing a kernel with flashtool!!!!
RE: Blank Screen After Flashing Custom ROM
Thanx for getting back to me so fast. As I said, the screen is blank. That is, the backlit display works but I can see nothing else. The "Home" button lights up when i press it but the display does nothing. If/When I reboot to try to enter XRecovery, I see the SonyEricsson logo followed by the backlit screen & nothing else. The Volume up/down buttons work as I am able to silence the phone by turning volume all the way down to vibrate. Because I cannot see what's on the display, I cannot turn USB on/off to connect to PC to run SEUS/Flashtool, etc. I.E. I cannot fix the device. Usually I just boot into XRecovery to fix a problem like this but that doesn't work.
x10
hy, install sony update service and repair your phone, then install again custom rom, the indications how to repair your phone software is in the program.
Best regards

I wish I had gotten this solution sooner. Not sure if it would have mattered. When trying to use Flashtool I kept getting an error saying my phone was not in "flash mode".
I solved my problem by flashing using Omnius & flashing firmware 'X10i_generic_SE_24_MultiTouch.rar'. This got my phone back but it was only 2.1 so I used 'DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su' to get me back to 2.3, but this is where I'm at. I had Wolf's firmware before but right now I have no xRecovery installed. I thought I had rooted my phone but xRecovery isn't installed nor is Busybox.. Any ideas? Thanx in advance...EVERYONE @ XDA-DEVELOPERS rox!
I haven't replied to this post because I'm at my wit's end. I still can't get XRecovery installed & I think I've tried all the methods out there. Maybe my problem is that I restored my phone using Omnius. Flashtool works OK but I can't do anything but Flash on it. My phone is a headache now. It freezes up, crashes & sometimes won't read the SD card. Please help...

C if u can repair phone using SEUS now. Open the software without connecting phone. N then go to the update part. It should give u a repair option. Then follow those steps. Or else just connect ur phone n then start software. When it tells u ur phone is up to date click on that n then click on "repair". Then use the latest flashtool to root. Recoveries come with kernels so just flash a custom kernel.

Many Thanks, I was finally able to use SEUS; before I could not. I used Flashtool to upgrade/downgrade kernel. However, I still don't have XRecovery installed & I'm not sure how to do this. I can't install XRecovery using Flashtool. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to install a custom Rom again.
I don't think u need to upgrade or downgrade.. just look for a link to download xrecovery here and follow instructions

I'm not sure how it went down but prior to this, I was unable to use SEUS. No matter what I did, I couldn't repair it. However, since your post, I was able to use SEUS & Flashtool to get back to where I was before I screwed up my X10a. I'm currently running Wolf's Rom (many thanx!!!) & am very satisfied w/all your help homey! You da man!
I noticed you are running ICS on your X10i. Any help so that I may partake of that deliciousness?

Ur welcome i don't think u need help you just flashed a custom ROM.. the procedure for installing ICS is the same. Although it'd be better if you are on stock before installing it.. just look for an ICS ROM that u like (I'm using feralab n it works like a charm).
Get the kernel n ROM.. as usual, put the ROM zip on ur SD card, flash the kernel, install ROM from recovery
Although before installing:
1. In recovery go to mounts n storage
2. Format system data n cache
3. Mount system, data n cache (note that if the mounting is successful the options should change to unmount system, unmount data, unmount cache respectively)
4. Then install ROM
5. The installer is GUI based so it'll guide u really well through the installation

Iam sory if my english bad
Since I flashed my rom.My phone comes on but I can see anything, even when starting I can't see anything...
I really need help..
I will appreciate if you help me sort it out.
I'm kindly posting this question to help my friend's X10 Mini Pro.
The phone is hardbricked two times, the first one is we accidentally flashed the wrong .ftf file on Flashtool last month and sent to repair center, it came back to life. The second one is that the phone did not power on after turning it off (happened almost 1 month after the repair). So here's the problem:
So the phone vibrates shortly everytime I'll try to turn it on but there are no signs of led and screen to lit up. The good news is the computer (I'm using Win7) recognizes the phone when I connect it but a couple of seconds, it just disconnects and reconnects again sometimes it just normally connects with no interruption. I tried to flash back to stock using Flashtool (the .ftf file)
According to the message log, it successfully flashed so I disconnected it and turned on the phone but still, it just vibrates and the screen did not turn on. Tried Sony PC Companion-failed I don't know if the bootloader is STILL unlocked after the repair because I unlocked the bootloader before the first hardbrick event happened. So I'm thinking about what if he accidentally accepted an OTA update? maybe that's the reason of being hardbricked? what do you think? I really appreciated your help
