Hey guys
So, i decided to try and root my phone and i think i cleverly chose to use a really old method and subsequently my phone is now pretty much bricked. It used to be software V2.1
now, whenever i turn it on (I need to take out the battery and put it back in to restart it) It goes to the sony ericsson splash screen, then a "MTT Docomo" screen and then the screen turns blank and stays like that. I got halfway through a guide i found somewhere on the internet and now this is happening D=
I can't repair it in the sony ericsson pc suite (it detects a phone but asks me to connect it etc. which i can't do).
I've read a bit around and i think the answer is using flashtools? Can i still do that when my phone's in this state? Sorry if this is a common question, couldn't find any similar cases though =S I'm not completely sure what to do... any suggestions?
Thanks!
yes, you're right, my opinion is you must have to flash your phone properly with a clean stock rom before retry to flashing your phone another time.
And to make it properly is to use flashtools method (see thit link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343, there is a perfect tuto made for that)
And you could also use the root function included in Flashtool if you still want to root your phone
You should still be able to repair w/SEUS ("pc suite") or use flashtool.
X10 is pretty unbrickable.
To get into flash mode in your phone's current state take out the battery, connect the usb, hold the back button, and then replace the battery.
Hope this helps.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies!
I went through the flashing guide above and managed to get my phone working again (you were right, i could still start it up in flash mode if i took out the battery etc. first), and rooting it was pretty easy =)
Thanks again guys, the forum's a great resource.

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

Thank you StereO, and the best way is to follow this tutorial from youtube right? /watch?v=ZQIw608rZfI
Or is there a better tutorial. Thank you
yes, but it depend on your internet connection speed if me, im using flashtool, simple and fast
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!
Hi,
Ive a few bugs using this Rom,and hoping someone knows the answers.....
Im using 2.6.29n-1 kernel and my phone is an X10i
1.cant view google street view=getting force close error
2.occasionally get thrown off t-mobile network,and when I do,the option
to choose a network has disappeared in the mobile network settings.I
can only choose something when yellow triangle appears at top of screen bar.
3.my phone is an X10i,the model is now listed as SO-01C.Which model do I treat the
phone as,Im having trouble with drivers for computer,and cant pass apps from
pc to phone via market as it says I dont have a recognized device
Apart from these bugs-I like it
the n1 kernel sucks, i get the same errors like you, and the batery drain is massive... flash doomkernel v6 everything works fine here, and batery life is far better....
Thanks Patrik,I had to reflash everything and Ive put Galaxy rom with stock kernel back on.I had the bootloader unlocked,but now its locked.
Does anyone know if Ive got to install xrecovery as an app,as well as through rooting.I cant seem to unlock the bootloader,it just hangs when I try it.When I try to install xrecovery as an app,sometimes I get the green ticks,but mostly I get the red circle presumably meaning its not worked.
This may be stopping the final bit of the bootloader getting unlocker as the phone is still recognized?
for the SO-O1C part, it has something to do with the build.prop. ask other pros out there on how to change the build.prop from SO-O1C to X10i
how do I restore my phone to stock using SEUS or PCC from this ROM? My phone has some kind of locked itself, SEUS and PCc keep telling me that there is no update for my phone. I just want to restore it ffs.
What to do?
Model: SO-01C
Running: ThGo2_v14.0_Th_Kernel
Baseband: 2.1.71
Kernel-Version: 2.6.29-n1
You want to repair it using se suite.Mines had the same problem and eventually it started the repair and it loaded the stock stuff.Then I stuck on the Galaxy rom,but I wouldnt advise anyone to use that as the thread started a year ago and several links are dead and its impossible to suss out which rom to load first.

1. Unisntall maps and street view from system using any root app. Reinstall map an street view from market.
If you face same problem, clear data in settings, application section.
2. It may be a network issue.
3. Open build.prop using root explorer. Edit the following :
ro.product.model=so01c
ro.product.model=X10i
Or
Flash the generic build.prop from thjaps thread.

Thanks milton,but Ive had enough.Im running galaxy rom with stock kernel and locked bootloader-it works and Im keeping it at that.
Anything else I try to do is a complete disaster.
Im not on here to criticise anything,but Im not going to read 1000 posts then switch to Doomkernel v06,only to find theres a problem that needs my phone to be put back on stock stuff.Then find I cant restore the stuff I backed up with Titanium pro,because system has changed from the system that was backed up.
Funnily enough,the week Ive spent reading stuff and trying it,I could have worked and got the cash to buy a Sumsung Galaxy S2.
Thanks to the people that tried to help and replied,and good luck everyone....youll certainly need it.
Here is what i use,and something more....
1.suggest us doomkernel v6,is really good with ThGo2 rom
2.i upload my build.prop file which i already change to X10iView attachment build.rar
3.don't know if you already fing there is a white line under miui player and i fix it file is attachedView attachment 901170
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.

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

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.
