Is there anyway to unbrick the x10?
It is showing up an exclaimation mark with picture of x10 when the phone starts up
It just stops there and the phone won't boot.
I have tried using SEUS version 2.10.5.11 and PC companion 2.00.134.
For SE update service, when I clicked on X10 and did the instructions given, it says that I have already installed the latest firmware and the only option was to exit. There is no reinstall option.
For PC companion, when I click repair and followed the instructions, it told me to check my internet connection as it wasn't able to connect. I tried disabling my firewall but to no avail. I'm just stalled at Step 3. I have also pressed both pictures of X10 and both gave me the same error.
From other websites, one person was able to unbrick his phone by using davinciteam's debranding service from their x10 blog. I don't know whether it will work and I do not have an account to purchase their service.
So does anyone have any ideas on how to unbrick the X10?
EDIT: Seems that we can only use Davinciteam debranding to unbrick the phone but it costs 10 euros - I personally did not try it
And I have sent my phone to Sony Ericsson service to get it unbricked.
So next time guys, after you debrand your phone, remember to rebrand it to original before debranding it to another firmware. That was my mistake. After I get my phone back, I'm going to try it again
EDIT: 22/5/10
My phone is unbricked and seriously, how do they do it?
Wonder if they can like share their methods with us
I will try to debrand once again tomorrow, and hopefully I do not need to pay them another visit at their service center
Sony Ericsson service. I was yesterday and 15 - 20 minute to unbricked my phone ;-)

Hey can you explain to me your steps?
I tried to unbrand my phone, the first firmware upgrade succes. The third firmware (nordic 16) SEUS said succes, but when i turn on my phone i gace sam nic picture on my phone. I called my place nearest SE service and i get may car, and drive the service...
Oh, so you went to their services..
How did you tell them to fix your phone?
They are special update software.
Aztriltus - my friend happened the same thing to you, he use this Davinci Flashing / Debranding service and his X10 works well again. But it costs 10euro.
Search google for "davinciteam".
Hmm so I guess there isn't any manual way to unbrick x10..
Nevermind, I have already sent my phone to servicing
Wonder how do they unbrick them lol.
just use the debranding service davinciteam is offering. You download the program off their website and purchase credits, then just login with your user details on the program and follow the instructions (much like seus). You can choose from the list what firmware you want and it'll be up and running.
davinci
I was so happy when I read about DaVinci. My phone hung quite down as described above. But with the software I got him running again. Approximately 15 minutes and he is back again. I have already rooted him again.
Root your phone & it's unbricked
Have you tried the flash unbrick tool? It fixes it nomatter what. No need to spend any money for something available here for free
what is that called?

XIOFUB.rar is the flash tool.

My phone wasn't Bricked like yours in the sense that it didn't show the exclamation point when you attempted to turn it on, mine just stayed at the "Sony Ericsson" screen and wouldn't not move on.
This video is what got me back to 1.6:

hello for all
i have xperia x10 shen power on show me sony ericsson in first
and so show me Picture for xperia and side of Exclamation mark
plz how can solve this problem
ploto
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.
Disable development mode in x10

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.

@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:

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.

x10 screw up
hey guys ..i got a rogers x10 and then i ordered the unlock now i have have debranded the phone flashed through update service and now i have the exclamation mark...i am going to try ariz method but ..does sumone knoe abt the unlock code
I managed to root my mini pro. However, I tried to debrand it and the phone stopped functioning. The touchscreen will not respond (thus, it is stuck on the "Select language" page. I've noticed that the 2 big files in the Sony Update Service that was supposed to replaced, disappeared. Leading me to conclude that those files are deleted from the mini pro.
However, PC companion, PC suite does not seem to be able to fix/recognize the phone. I've spent over 4hrs searching and attempting to fix this to no avail. Please help.
Long shot here mate, but worth a try..
Hold Home key and the power key from a cold restart. See if it resets to default again..
Good luck I feel your pain!

Try with "Update Service":you can download it from sony website...
Update Service will help, I also rooted my X10mini, after that I removed some apps and after reboot the device was frozen on bootanimation with no respond. I was recomended to use Update Service and it worked. It "reinstalled" whole device SW.
I had the same problem et I tried to solve it with SEUS but this software told me that my version is the last one and dont want to repare or install another one one my mini..(I can't see any button "repare" !)
Anyone have an idea ?
sorry for my poor english
Thanks for your suggestions. However, I managed to fix it using the Davinciteam software.
Well I guess that your solution is not free so if somebody found anything whcih could be usefull to me or anybody who can fall on this problem please tell us

Without phone connected:
Open PC-Companion and press Start under Support zone. Then press start under Update (My version is Swedish so i am just guessing what yours might be.) You will get a small box where the options are Connect and Repair.
Try that.
No, I have an error like "sorry, we cant update your phone cant be recognized"
I already tried with software like omnius, seus, pc compagnon, sin reconstruction, an utility of root by Mogway where there is an button to repare some errors. Davinci software doesn't support x10 in the free version.
I'll go on to find a solution, tks for your help

But IS there a repairbutton ? I am wondering because otherwise you might not have the latest version of PC-Companion or something? Also , when doing repair i don't think it even checks what your phone is. You have to select it from a menu that pops up.
Yes, there is a button and i tried all the software in there last version.
When I press the button "repair", I see that the program load "update prtocol" or something like that (update service ?), then It's start the update and 2sec after an error appear in a box "We can't access to mobile phone" or smthg like that.
Apparently, no communication can be done in PC compagnon.
My drivers are ok, seus apparently recognize my phone (if he told me that I have the last version and tell me that he see my phone)
A little weird huh
Under pc compagnon there is a repare button yes.
The error appear to the point "update motor boot" (démarrage du moteur de mise à jour in french)
I dont find solution yet

Use the latest Omnius, it supports x10 mini and mini pro flashing
oh sh... I paid to fix it and now there is a free solution, the world is really nasty
Well, if anyone can't fix it with Omnius, I can give some advice for DaVinci, but I really hope that I'll be the last one to use this soft (despite his efficacity).
I hope you unterstood me
what do u use to convert your firmware to work with omnius??
I have the same problem, stuck on "Sony Ericsson" screen at startup. I tried SEUS and PC Companion to no avail. How can I get Omnius, i cant seem to download it anywhere.

If you can manage to get access to another pc, download SEUS or flashtool and try it there.
The only thing I can think of is keep holding down the "back" button untill the whole process is finished.
Ok for some weird reason it works on my lil brothers pc.
I wonder if my USB drivers on my own main pc are ****ed or something.
OMG ITS STARTING :O
I can't believe just using another PC just fixed it. I seriously thought I lost my brand new phone.
And for information, I did use the flashtool as well and that didn't work first. I guess it must be an issue with my pc. Well I won't complain, I managed to get it updated to 2.1 after debranding it (and I was certain I didn't **** that up.)
Thank you so much guys!

It probably has something to do with the installation of java on the faulty pc.
I've noticed it on a friend that had trouble flashing a mini pro with SEUS.

just as a point of interest... the mini pro and X10i I have only flash from the usb port they were originally inserted into... not sure if this is a common issue but if I use any other USB port I get hangs and java problems.
Probably something to do with the way the device ID is recorded i suspect.
One question.. I am using the flashing tool but it seems that i got stuck flashing on amss.sin file... if I disconnect the phone would I kill it? I am saying this because in Motorola phones, if you disconnect the phone in the middle of the flashing process, the phone will be dead... By reading the posts before, it seems that this guy disconnected the phone but nothing happens... but I want to be sure,..

Well Just in case, nothing happened, I did not kill my phone. I flashed it but the whole process was so fast that I thought it was not successful. So, I flashed it again without disconnecting the phone (I was afraid of killing it) and the same thing happened.... after some hour I was brave enough to disconnect it... I turned it on and voila... it was showing the camera and after that I got the version 2.1. I hope this helps someone in the future.

2. PC companion: Tried all the tricks to start w/o connecting n all still the phone is not detected.
3. Flashtool, tried flashing it with 0.6.8 and 0.2.9.1

FIX!
I had the same issue when I was experimenting with ROMs and Recoverys, but not to worry, Sony PC Companion 2.1 does the trick!
Download PC Companion 2.1 from the Sony Mobile website
1. When you download and open it, click start under Support Zone
2. Click start under Phone Software Update
3. When the window saying that a phone could not be found appears, click repair phone
4. A windows like this will appear, click continue to proceed with the repair of the firmware
NOTE: All data that is placed on the phone memory will be wiped but any data saved on the memory card will be spared
5. After clicking continue, a window like so will appear. Tick the box and click next to continue with repair!
6. Sony PC Companion 2.1 will now prepare the computer for the firmware update
7. Now choose your phone model, in this case it should be the Xperia X10 (X10). Select the phone and click Next!
8. Follow the prompts to repair your phone!
GOOD LUCK!!
Always fails for me.
All process end in fail
There must be a file I need to rename or something....
tried everything now...
I have tried everything by now, here i have attached a attachment of error i get while repairing my phone through SEUS..
only option is box flash, but i think its kind of risky...
Fail fail fail..... i'm getting hopeless wif my X10
Hey,
I did some re-search and got to know that somehow my X10 flashes as So-01C in some systems, i.e. xperia arc, even while updating ..........
Anyone here, knows other ways to flash through box other than technician, coz these technicians are real idiot they can crap your phone in 10 seconds, so its better to crap it yourself...
"alternative to box flash, please ???"
Try this
Had the same problem once, when my phone would not start at all, all I had to do was connect it to the PC Companion (2.0), at first it wouldn't repair but after a certain amount of tries it did the trick,
First: Make sure all your drivers are installed, if they were installed there should be no problem.
If they were not, the computer cannot identify your phone, try installing some other x10's drivers (cause your's is bricked I assume) that might do the trick aswell.
Open PC Companion > Support Zone > Phone Software Update (Start) > Follow Instructions > Repair
It might take several tries to get it right
If this doesn't work try the latest flashtool, it should do the trick !!
There must be something you are not doing right, else SEUS/Flashtool should have worked like a charm.
see i get this reply, when updating x10..
I have tried this like thousands of times, installing roms and then removing them and repairing the phone, but this time it has gone over my head........
I need to flash my X10 Mini, but I can't find the firmware for It anywhere with a working link. Anyone that still have the file and willing to share?
There are only plenty of links to sites that are down
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn on the phone and then afterwards it just won't start anymore, so i need to flash it and then use SEUS to restore it.
UPDATE!
I found everything and fixed everything I needed by just flashing It with a stock kernel.
Just use the Repair option in Pc Companion.

I'm not looking for how to do It..... Read the question before you post. I appreciate you trying to help, but at least understand what the question Is first.
I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

The phone it self comes to a point where there is some light on the screen, but i can't see the SE Logo anymore. I can charge the phone without problem from what it looks.
If I can get hold of another mini how can I make the ftf?
What did I do to achive this problem??
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn and it ended with a phone that got stuck during boot. Then I got to a guide where someone said "Hardreset the device and use SEUS", but SEUS always says that my phone has the latest software.

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.

Only one problem here, I don't have the option to reinstall the software at all after it says that I already have the latest software.
Can it be that the option is no longer there depending on SEUS version?

There is a repair option in PC Companion, see it, please! The repair option on PC Companion is Support Zone --> Update --> Repair.
BTW, to hard reset :
1. Turn the phone off
2. Press the POWER button
3. Press and hold home key aprox 3 seconds
4. The hard reset is starting.

I will try that thanks, but you need to hard reset before the repair with PC Companion?
I managed to find the stock kernel so now I'm starting the device, but I get a SE logo and then It shuts off.
One problem when I try to repair on step 2 (prepare step) I get a error unable to start or phone update update components. (the pc companions is installed with the newest version)
