I think I bricked my X10a - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long story short,
I flashed my Rogers X10a in to R2BA024
Followed this [GUIDE] Root your X10 R2BA024 ! { Update 26.07.2010 R2BA024 Root with 2/3-Steps }
I installed a game which using 320x480
My phone suddenly freeze while I was playing.
No button works, so I pulled out the battery.
Now I can't boot my phone.
The phone will vibrate a bit if I hold the power button like I normally do for boot up.
The screen shows me nothing but I know the screen's back light is on.
I fully charged the battery, still no good.
any suggestions

Have you tried a repair/reinstall? PC Companion claims it can do it even if the phone is not detected by the software, or you can't boot the system. I've never had to try it so couldn't vouch for it though...

Does your phone go into flash mode when plugged in?
If it does u can use seus or the unbrick tool.

i have the exact same problem but mines was rebranded to x10i "R2BA024" and when it is originally x10a , my computer recognises the phone still and can boot the phone in flashmode so the tools can be used. what do i do from here?
i've tried the flashtool x10flash.bat with " X10a - Shipped (FOR FLASH TOOL)

I had the same problem with xRecovery.
before I put the beta 2, I have made a backup with xRecovery to save my 2.1 [Eminence v1.2]
then I stucked with SE white logo, I pulled the battery out, rebooted and went back to xRecovery..
so If you didn't made any backup, use Flash Tool or reflash.. same thing, same result

SEUS
Just download the Sony Ericsson Update Service - SEUS - Run it - follow the prompts - force a system restore - it will work.

Hold the back key while putting in the battery, cable already connected and SEUS running - your looking at the bootloader saying - no firmware - so load one onto it and your good!

The X10 is impossible to brick, that is about the only good thing with the locked bootloader that SE uses.
You should be able to resolve your problem by starting PC companion agian, and follow the instructions as you did the first time (when you pulled the cable). When inserting the USB while holding the back-key down the phone enters flash mode, this flash mode does not get overwritten when flashing the android OS, so even if the OS is corrupted the flashmode still works, and can be used to rewrite a fresh copy of android to your phone.
Its an easy fix,flash the phone on flash tool

[Q] x10 stuck on Sony Ericsson screen

Hi all,
I tried to put a other custom rom on my x10 but it didnt work:
First i rooted the phone, then istalled xrecovery then i booted into xrecovery and selected custom rom, now my phone booted but its stuck on the Sony Ericsson screen
Flashtool is able to root the phone but then the debugging mode error comes,
Seus cant connect with the phone because i cant boot into save mode, also flashtool cant connect with the phone if i try to flash it.
im out of ideas!
HELP!
sorry for this bump but im desperate!
First of all. Was your root successful? If yes then does your base band support the rom that you're trying to install because one gets stuck in the boot loop if the baseband is not correct for that particular rom.
Cheers!

It says the root was succesfull, but then you have to enable USB-Debugging mode but thats impossible beacause there isnt a correct rom on the phone so you cant boot and enable USB-Debugging mode.
I had the same problem 2 days ago.
I fixed it by downloading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959821 this one
Place it into flashtool, and wait till flashtool gives you the message to connect your phone in flashmode.
(im probably sure you know how to, but ill explain it anyways, remove your battery (because its stuck on the logo), wait a few seconds. put it back in. hold the back button, and connect the usb wire, untill the ledlight turns green.. fast press 'ok' on the flashtool screen, otherwise your phone will go out of flashmode)
Thanks, for the reply,
Ive contacted the Phone house, and they sended it back to SE, now SE says the phone has water damage, very wierd but still ill get it back today and then try to flash it your way

[Q] Xperia x10i wont boot after root atempt

Hi,
Last night, i tried to root my Xperia x10i phone, following the steps in this article:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
After completing the 1st step, i tried to boot my phone. I get the usual vibration when booting, and after a second or two, the phone had started vibrating endlessly.
Then i tried to recover it using PC Companion (Connected in flash mode). It downloaded the firmware and installed it to the phone flawlessly.
I disconnected the phone, in switch on. Get the usual vibration, and then the screen backlight starts to turn on and off constantly. As the PC Companion says this could happens for a few minutes at first boot after update, i waited, but it simply remains doing the same thing, and never show the SE logo.
I tried to repair again, this time using SEUS, following all the instruction, with same result.
I dont know what else can i do... Please Help!!!
this will help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmX-IYNYqL8
You mean try to flash it to 2.1? Or to 1.6?
flash it to 2.1
Ok. I've just tried to flash with a 2.1 x10i generic rom and a 2.3 x10i generic rom, following the steps in the video. Dont work...
hmm.. weird, any1 can help here?
Yesterday, i left the phone in the office, with the battery out, hoping that something i read in a forum, about this could work, was true. Today i take the phone, put the battery back, and turn on the phone, and... No luck... My xperia is still dead...
Try using SEUS instead of PC Companion.
Follow the instructions ins SEUS and make sure that the phone is off and hold down the BACK button before you plug in the USB cable and make sure you keep it pressed down until the software tells you otherwise.
I've done so, but still dont work... But i'll try again...
I've just tried with SEUS, which download the 2.3 update. SEUS run all the way, and says disconect and turn on. Same result...
Any sugestion?? I almost give up on this... =(
I have the same problem, i have tried to flash my phone like 30 times i have bought a new battery and still no go, it continuasly vibrates.
And i don't even have to pres the back button to put it to flash it always on startup stayes in flash mode.

Thats exactly what i did too everytime i brick my Xrecovery.
SEUS..
I tried all those softwares (PC Companion, SEUS, FlashTool) and nothing worked...
With SEUS and FlashTool, It seems to work, but in the end, I have an error message. With FlashTool the installation aborted and with SEUS a failure.
Could it be the battery? (I can't charge my phone...)
Try and diconnect the battery for a few minutes and plug the charger in again and leave it for a few hours.
If you take the back cover off there is a small rubber cover that can be carefully takem loose and beneath that cover you see a white plug and that is the batteryconnection to the phone.
I´ve bricked mine so many times now that I just leave that rubber cover off...

x10 mini pro soft-bricked no tutorial helps

Hi i had x10 mini pro with unlocked bootloader, naA kernel and gingersony ROM. It was working fine for couple of weeks after unlocking bootloader and flashing new ROM, but now it didn't turn on (red light flashed three times and thats it) then i tried holding power + back key then led changed to orange, but it still didn't turn on. Then charged the battery for 2h the led turned to green, tried to turn on the phone vibrated the green led flashed once, but the black screen just keeps turning on with no logo and it's like in bootloop (i can hear the device being recognised by computer when USB is plugged in). Don't know tried Flashing original firmware with flashtool, original kernel, tried locking the bootloader, PC companion and SEUS they both download the software and everything flashes fine, but same bootloop is happening and i need to pull the battery out to stop it. Dont know what else i can do?

i think the bootloader is broken, when i turn on the phone from cold restart the phone vibrates and the black screen turn on and off... I can flash with flashtool and PC companion and SEUS, but nothing helps, the same bootloop repeats. I don't know what else i can try i think it's hardbricked. What else i can try?
check with s1 tool if there is a small r if so just flash stock rom

Your battery is discharged, change it for other to test.

you have to unlock your bootloder with flash toll

i don't have another battery and tried without battery with charger plugged in, but it's the same. I have flashed with unlocked bootloader and with locked, but nothing helps. Is it hard bricked? no hope?
I had the same problem, and only i changed the battery for my K850i.
Try to charge the battery with a universal charger.
Other solution is flash stock kernel, beacuse nAa kernel i think dont work off charge.
you flashed a costuom kernel without unlocking your bootloder
unlock your bootloder
and than flash back to stock rom

This same issue has happened to me several times while installing custom ROM. One of your SW component is broken, when you dont know what went wrong, you should revert back to SE default rom using PC companion. Go to software update and then reset device. Follow the instructions. Once your device is back start with your R&D.
The issue seems to be because your device has custom ROM running on SEMC kernel.
You need to unlock your bootloader. Install nAa GB kernel and
Install the GB ROM. Let me know if you need the links.
i have tried unlocking bootloader, but it doesnt work, in flashtoold there's no option in plugins>unlock/run and msm7227_semc.bat doesn't work. Maybe i got it locked with nAa kernel, but i tried locking the bootloader after i have tried SEUS, flashtool and PC companion. Maybe i can flash something with flashtool to revive it?
