No offence meant, but I cannot for the life of me make out what you are trying to say here. Can you possibly try and rephrase it, perhaps taking a little more time on what you want to say?

he is saying that when the phone is turned on, there is picture of the xperia phone with the exclamation mark.
i think you would need to repair the phone with pc companion.

dont think pc companion willl work in this case. tht is b'cos the card has to be mounted fr pc companion to recognize the fone which is not possible in this case.
download the update service from the sony site. follow the instructions. this might help u recover ur fone..
best luck

i try to make update it by Update Service
but show me your phone already lasts firmware

---

plz any body have idea about
this problem

---

Even if update service states you already have the latest firmware just click the option to re-install.

---

To the best of my knowledge, this error (i.e. exclamation mark when boot up) occurs only when you try to debrand your X10 with a different firmware that does not match your baseband version.
I've had the same problem when I tried to debrand my X10 from X1a (R1A) to X1a (R1B). Although there shouldn't be any problem, seemingly either the firmware was corrupted or it was giving false info to either PC Companion or SEUS, so neither of those programs are able to detect the right firmware for your phone, and that's why it shows up with no option to repair your phone.
After spending much time searching and reading all the possible forums, I was unfortunate to figure out a way to force SEUS or PC Companion to rebrand or flash my backup firmware (as I already saved the original ones). The only way I found to fix that problem was a paid app which would act as SEUS by forces to flash the chosen firmware.
just google "davinciteam" and pick the first link and follow their instructions.
I'd rather to fix it myself since I had my original files, but I couldn't find a way "yet" and I needed my phone ASAP.

I got the dreaded exclaimation mark of death after trying to do what dad6534 did. Will be interested to know the fix.
@TechGuru_x10 - how do you disable the development mode. Does this fix the exclaimation mark problem?
@dad6534 - did you have to flash back to the original firmware thru Davinciteam? Did you manage to unbrand your phone in the end?

Delete the 13740270 folder in
C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270
and try to update your phone again, only this time use the one with the restore factory settings (Or something like that)

---

I remembered trying out every possible way to get my phone unbricked(the exclaimation mark sign) and after wasting all my time, the last resort was to go to their service center and ask them to fix it - It's free and why go Davinci team unless you have some spare cash.
I've tried changing the files in the blob_fs to the orignal ones but to no avail. No re-install button, no repair button in both PC companion and SE update service (SEUS). SEUS just told me that my phone has the Latest firmware and the only option was to Exit. PC Companion allows me to repair, but as it is at the 3rd stage where you have held on to the back button and plugged the USB cable in, it just shows me an error in downloading files.

Darn, why didn't anybody teach me that. I even uninstalled the whole PC companion and SEUS. Anyway, it's good that you found the solution

@J3YPS - i've deleted the folder as per your method, ran SEUpdate and i get the same message - "No new software is available for your phone" with no option to repair or restore or reinstall. I'm interested to hear if this worked for anyone else.
@Aztriltus - I have tried using the davinci client to reflash the firmware but it hasnt work. It is looking increasingly likely that I will need to see the service center. BTW what did you tell them when they asked you how you bricked the phone?

Try this method:

Flash Tool (can unbrick X10i with provided files)

read HowTo.txt from flash tool
Be careful, don't try to flash your device if you don't really know what you're doing.
This Program can only flash signed Images. NOT custom ones.
I'm NOT responlible for any damage to your device!!

@MarylandCookie
You're an awesome help - it was a great suggestion cause it worked! Tried for 3 days to fix this (including paying dollars to davinci) and jerpelea's flash tool did the trick! One note tho - it only works on 32bit win systems.
