Hello all.
I tried to debrand my phone but i have used the xperia mini and not the mini pro firmware, so now the phone is not functioning properly(keys and keyboard dont work).
Besides that every time i boot the phone it displays 2 errors:
-Roadsync (process.com.dataviz.stargate)
-User support (process.com.sonyericsson.android.support)
have stopped unexpectedly and then the screen displays only the known blue background without any menus.
Only the top taskbar is working but i cannot do anything with it.
The phone is rooted with exploid method.
So i'm trying to figure out a way to make a clean install of the firmware again but SEUS says i have the latest software and PC companion fail to do the work also.
Practically the phone is bricked and useless now.
Any ideas on how to function it again?
pay some money to omnius-server.com download u20i generic uk rom, then flash you phone
edit this is generic uk U20i_WORLD_1_8_CDF1238_0199.rar
thanx for ur help.
Is there another way of doing it without omnious? I don't own a paycard
You might be able to reflash using this method in the X10 Mini Development forum, substituting the appropriate files in blob_fs for mini pro ones. In the u20a thread here, there's an archive linked for u20a, not sure if there's a u20i set around. Either will work if you can get it on the phone.
Else a commercial solution Davinci Team or Omnius is probably going to be the only option.
Oke i got the U20 firmware, is there a way to push it onto the phone through the adb commands or something?
Nothing seems to be working in the phone now. After reboot the service roadsync stops unexpectedly and the the known blue background.
Tried to do the update but nothing(have the latest so it does not update).
If only i could find a way to push the firmware to the phone through the sdk commands...

have you tried to repair it on another PC? I dont think SDK can flash your ROM..

I haven't. I'll try to acess some other pc.
Besides that i cannot run adb commands. The device cannot be found, maybe because i cannot enable the usb debuging from the phone.
I have attached 3 pics of what i see when the phone boots...
The 1st one is with the process roadsync, the 2nd is after i press ok and appears the blue background. The 3d pic is the only thing functioning...the notification bar

Yes it does, but what can be done from that menu?
I see the options of the data traffic settings and i cannot practically do nothing.
An additional info: if i put the sim card to the phone it is not recognized, it's like it has no sim card at all

Well, I had a thought that if you can access the menu, may be you can try getting into settings with home button or menu button. But then I recalled that you said buttons are not working on your phone..
Mate, I suggest you try to repair it through seus from another computer..

I think you should take it to any local service guy and get it reflashed.. I think thats the only way remaining...
Or you can ask someone to take a look at your device through teamviewer or something...

hello friend, Raj here.
I have been using the X10i since past 6 months. I bought the phone my UAE & i am presently using it in India.
1) Is there any firmware upgrade available for my phone?
My phone info says-
Model - X10i
Firmware - 1.6
Baseband version - 1.0.14
Build number - R1FA014
2) My phone does not have the Android market application inbuilt in it! how & from where do i download that app?
3) How do i install applications downloaded to my computer from Android market, to my phone?
4) I am not able to access Calender since it requires me to log in to my Gmail account. everytime i try to do that, it says "error, try next time"! is there any way i can start the calender without registering?
Thanks.

Hi.
Yes there is, considering a lot of us are running R2BA026, that should give you an idea of how far behind you are.

Personally, I would debrand and update your handset with UK generic FW, which will give you the Market app, which will answer question 3, and as you need to register for the Market to use it, that also answers your 4th question.
1) Install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service).
You can get it from here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1275980198/Update_Service_Setup-2.10.6.21.exe
2) Run SEUS, follow the prompts. You don't need to update the phone through it, but get the phone ready for updating. This process should install the drivers necessary for the rooting process.
Note: I suggest you keep your USB cable attached to that USB port. Remember which USB port of your computer it's attached to, as changing USB ports can lead to a bit of confusion for the next 2 steps!
3) To check if #2 was successful, click on Start, click Run, and type: regedit
In the Registry Editor that pops up, click on Computer, press CTRL+F, and search for this: USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\
After it's finished finding, on the right side you'll see DeviceInstance, then it says REG_SZ, then it says something like USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\5&270d2a78&0&3
You'll need that last bit (in this example: 5&270d2a78&0&3 Yours would probably be different). This is your DeviceID (you'll need it soon!)
Note: You may have multiple of these if you plugged the USB cord into many USB ports on your computer. Each USB port will give a different DeviceID, so if you have more than one DeviceID, you'll have to choose one, and if it doesn't work (you'll find out when you reach #5!) you will have to choose another one.
Alternatively, download the file in the next step and extract it, go to the folder called 1st, and run the DeviceID.jar file. It should give your DeviceID
4) Download this:
http://filevo.com/1nlq8wryo11u.html
or from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/404363083/i_R1FA16_ft.rar.html
Extract it.
In the step1 folder, you'll see a file called DeviceID.txt
Open it up, delete whatever's there, and put YOUR DeviceID (that you found from the previous step).
Save the file and close notepad.
Note: Make sure there are no extra spaces or lines after/before the DeviceID. The ONLY thing that should be in the file is your DeviceID, NO SPACES/LINES (for example, only this: 5&270d2a78&0&3 [yours will probably be different])
5) Take out the USB cable from your phone (leave it plugged into your computer)
Turn your phone OFF
Open up step1.cmd (it's not inside the step1 folder, but outside it), but DON'T PRESS ANYTHING
Now we have to put the phone into flash mode. This is how you do it:
Hold the Back button on your phone, and while holding the back button, insert the USB cable into the phone.
A green light should come on the phone (like when it's charging or a missed call)
Quickly "Press any key to continue..." in the open step1.cmd window.
Let it finish what it's doing. It will say "Press any key to continue..." after it's finished. Until then, DON'T touch anything!
If you get problems in this step, refer to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6970868&postcount=3
Here's a helpful video for common java issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713457
After completion, this will give you a Generic X10i R1FA016 firmware (check it by pressing the left button, go to settings>about phone and at the very bottom under build number)

Follow those steps and when you've completed them run SEUS which should update you to R2BA026, and give you the Market app. If you run in to any issues read the links provided as the chances are it will be user error if you do.
Thanks a lot buddy.
Will de-branding my phone affect future upgrades to Android 2.1 in any way?
Also, why is de-branding necessary to access calender???

It isn't, but if want to use the Market you are going to need a gmail account.
I tried using SEUS but failed at step 2 itself!
It says press back button while inserting USB cable in phone & keep pressing back button. i did the same & waited & waited for 5 minutes, but no response!
then my finger started hurting & i had to abort the process! does it take so long?

You're not doing it right, should take about 5 seconds for seus to recognise the phone. Try again.
Sorry for the back-to-back posts, but can i update my phone country to India instead of UK? i think Indian X10s do get Android Market. Since i am using the phone here in India & in future would like to get this serviced in india itself, i would prefer my phone to show India in country!
It honestly doesn't matter. I'm in Canada but I'm using a Latin American firmware. But yes, to get it serviced I guess you need it. How about asking someone with the Indian firmware to dump it for you?
That is precisely the reason i am looking for the indian version instead of UK.
None of my friends have a X10 & strangely, even google dint yield any satisfactory results.
I will opt for the UK update only if Indian update is not available.
Also, i am still not able to open the calender using my gmail account. evertime it says "error! try again later" !!!

so did you manage to update to a newer firmware yet? you said a while back that "holding the back button" did not work. You need to have the phone off before you do this step.
1. turn phone off
2. connect usb cable to phone, but not to pc.
3. open SEUS and get to the stage that it says waiting for phone connect.
4. press and hold the back button (which will power your phone on in flash mode) and connect the USB cable to pc.
SEUS should now say "stop pressing back button" or something to that effect.

Nothing like this happens in my case. Dont know whats wrong!
Guys, i managed to install Astro File Manager over the air! i did install a few apps to my comp & then to my phone using AFM but not all apps are available to install on the comp! thats the reason i needed Android Market on my phone.
Also, i dont understand why i cant register to google through my phone as i have to use the phone calender.
Guys, it re-installed SEUS & it detected my phone but i again failed! i am dumb!!!

Can you clarify, did you get into flash mode for it to install the drivers?
I re-installed SEUS. then I started SEUS, switched off my phone for 30 secs, connected USB cable to computer, then connected USB cable to phone while pressing the back button & kept pressing the back button until the phone got switched ON.
then SEUS asked me to open Notification bar & turn ON USB. i left the back button & did the same. then the screen showed "X10i connected" & your phone is up to date!
then i tried whatever you had mentioned but it was of no use as mentioned in my post above.
Also, SEUS detects my phone only 1 out of 5 times. the remaining times, it takes soooooo long that i have to abort the process & SEUS hangs!
Also, i have noticed that in my SEUS, in the phone models where you have to select your phone, there are two options, both which look like an X10 with names "X10" & "SO-01B". which one should i select? i tried with X10 but failed. then i tried with SO-01B & it dint detect.
You problem is that seus is not detecting your device..
Soln... User a laptop with win xp or vista or 7 32 bit...
Do a complete uninstall of seus. Clean the registry of any seus entries..
Reinstall seus..
Use a different usb port.
Now try..
The device is an x10 unless you your it from japan which if the case is then it is the so-o1.
If you want dump of indian firmware I can help you but I dont think a dump will be of much use to
You..

yes, i would like to have the Indian firmware as that would make servicing my phones in India easier!
Can you tell me the disadvantages of having the Indian firmware when compared to the UK one?
I read that even Indian firmware has Android market & even India is getting a upgrade to Android 2.1 along with UK.
I tried using SEUS with different USB port & my phone was detected but again i found no DEVICE ID! the same thing happened which i have written in Post #14.

SEUS doesn't ask you to do that, PC Companion does though. I've never known anyone have such problems getting SEUS to run.
My Xperia X10 is currently not working (see previous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993785) and I still haven't been able to fix it.
I'm trying to use Flashtool to flash the generic X10 Firmware to my phone although
it's taking up to 4+ hours and then my phone battery dies and the flash is unsuccessful.
Why is Flashtool taking so long to flash a firmware to my X10? I've tried a few different computers and still the same problem.
Please Help. Thank you.

I cannot access my phone as of now, it's pretty much a brick. Holding the on button brings only a vibrate and thats it.
what about flashing a rom that you know worked on your phone, making sure you flash the right Baseband for that particular rom first.

not assuming you're silly. but you are making sure you have your finger firmly on the back button when you plug in the phone when flashing yeah? the simplest are often the ones that get you.

Read previous thread in original post.
The phone has crashed for some reason whilst using the FreeX10 Beta4 Rom and I cannot access the phone. It charges fine although I cannot turn on/access my phone.
not sure why the flash is taking so long. attempt to flash a different firmware possibly? Also do you have the latest flashtool?
Impossible to brick so you're not out of luck yet. Try flashing with latest flashtool 2.9.1
I'll attempt now with the Flashtool 2.9.1 beta. It's a shame that as soon as they unlock the bootloader my X10 decides to stop working.
EDIT:
'turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging' - It's impossible to access my phone to turn on USB debugging and unknown sources. What do I do now?
bump, anyone??
Attempt repairing your phone via Sony Ericsson Update Service. If that fails put a compatible basebrand and firmware on your phone. Make sure user data is wiped

Sony Ericsson Update Service does not recognise the product.
Not that I haven't attempted this but I put a compatible baseband and firmware and it took 7 hours in which it only flashed 4 items and then the rest flashed instantly which the phone displays blinking red light.
It's not working. Whats wrong???

Try to use SEUS to repair phone if you can't boot your phone. Do not use PC Companion cause' it will try to detect your phone everytime you use it but your phone can't boot so PC Companion now useless. If you can't repair your phone, you have to bring it to SE service.

It will not detect your phone dude. You must select your phone from the list supported. It will tell you to plug your phone in while holding BACK key and after searching for update, you will have a notice about update or repairing.
Hello all,
I was using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002836
for a few weeks and all was working fine until today. All just worked fine until some moment that all stoped to work. Now i dont have any service anymore and when i try to reboot it and it starts again i get:
-No widgets load
-"Process system is not responding" Force close or wait.
-Cant boot into xRecovery
-Flashtool wont recognize the phone
-phone keeps making notification sounds for no reason
-i get no service
-cant connect to wifi
-wont recognize SD card
-randomly freezes
I found on this forum that this problem causes because i install a new busybox thats what created this error. But i cant get back in to xrecovery again or back to my SD card since my pc doeosnt connect to my phone. So also SEUS doesnt connect, what can i do to reset it all or atleast to get back into xrecovery?
Yours,
anyone have any solutions? i'm in the same exact boat.
Try reinstalling xrecovery from flashtool. You should be able to even with force closes.

Go to Application -> Dev Tools -> Bad Behavior -> Crash the system server then reboot. Give it a few minutes to settle then if that doesn't work, download xrec v0.3 from below. If xrec installs then wipe cache & clear Dalvik cache. If none of those work you have no choice but to reflash.

I've tried all of them. Flashtool has always worked for me in the past but all I can do on it at the moment is flash the stock firmware it won't let me click the root option.
Z4root would go through everything but then when I donloaded busybox it said I wasn't rooted.
And with super one click it would spend for ever trying to find the device, never find it then the programme would freeze.
Do you have any other ideas?

Z4root & Superclick are my backup procedure in case I'm not infront of a pc and I always use the flashtool to root.
Are you sure usb debugging is enabled? I know I've made that mistake before then realized that it wasn't enabled. Stock 2.1 does not enabled this function by default as far as I know.

BTW what firmware are you using? If you are still on the branded firmware that might be the reason why so flash a generic 2.1 firmware then try rooting again. Here's an example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15711725#post15711725
If you look at the last few posts Uberlight25 was using branded firmware and had the same problem as yours. After flashing generic 2.1, he/she was able to root again.
Good luck.

Thanks but I worked out that the problem was that I didn't have the debug driver installed, I fixed this by reinstalling PC Companion
Cannot flash x10, driver missing
Metalbuster said:
Hello all,
I was using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002836
for a few weeks and all was working fine until today. All just worked fine until some moment that all stoped to work. Now i dont have any service anymore and when i try to reboot it and it starts again i get:
-No widgets load
-"Process system is not responding" Force close or wait.
-Cant boot into xRecovery
-Flashtool wont recognize the phone
-phone keeps making notification sounds for no reason
-i get no service
-cant connect to wifi
-wont recognize SD card
-randomly freezes
I found on this forum that this problem causes because i install a new busybox thats what created this error. But i cant get back in to xrecovery again or back to my SD card since my pc doeosnt connect to my phone. So also SEUS doesnt connect, what can i do to reset it all or atleast to get back into xrecovery?
Yours,

I have the exact same problem. Did you solve it?
I device maneger SEMC USB Flash show up with a yellow warning sign that indicate that drivers are missing. I have tried to install SE companion but that did not help. Also I cannot flash to a stock rom via SEUS.
Someone suggested to install xrecovery again ... but how?

I just flashed my x10 mini using flash tool (upgrade to 2.1), i followed the instruction until it say finished and unplug the usb conection.
But after i pushed turn on button, the LCD only shows light (about 5 second) and then off, and countinue on and off (no SE text / logo).
I have tried some solution with SEUS and PC Companion, even try to reflash, but none of them sucsesfull.
Any solution, thanks...

I mean the LCD, it only become bright-gray light (right before SE text appear), but stuck there about 5 second, then off, and on again, continuously.

I will try this, but FYI
I still can flash my phone, it detected in my PC while I press back button and plug the USB, and the flash successful and told to unplug the USB, but again when push the power I still got the some problem. I have tried this for 3-4 times.
Using SEUS, it still can detected my phone, and search for update, but told something like my phone have the last updated.
Is the SE text / logo appear while we charge it on power off? (coz while I charge it, the LCD only got bright-gray light)
I just brought this phone few days ago from my friend, haven't charge it while power off.
Pc companion and seus are not the same thing just start again with seus

well, download a new rom and flash it!
i've tried everything you say here on my phone and nothing worked.
i can't flash it because i can't use my phone to activate the debugging stuff.
SEUS just won't update it, tried many timesand always the same thing.
I'm desperate and i can't do nothing.
Please someone help me cause i've ruined my phone.

Bricked?
Instead of creating a new thread, I'll just post this here.
I probably irreversibly bricked my phone last night. Used this script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888250) to enable JIT, and that worked out fine. But When I tried to install App2SD, the terminal emulator displayed some “rm error” very briefly, before crashing, and all non-sony stock apps disappeared. Rebooting the phone, apps came back but root was broken, 3rd party apps run into errors, wifi cannot obtain IP addresses. After a user data wipe, cannot recognize SIM card
- Unfortunately, on a highly idiotic note, XRecovery was not working right before I attempted to install app2sd (I do have a backup).
- Sony Ericsson PC Companion cannot find software for the device, saying “no software available at this point”.
- SEUS says the phone already has the newest software version
- Flashtool says to check USB Debugging, Unknown application source, but they already are enabled.
- Flashtool (when trying to install busybox) and SuperOneClick 1.9.5 encounter the error: -exec ‘/system/bin/sh’ failed: Permission denied(13)-
Is there some way to install xrecovery through a computer? The SE backup and restore app is still there, but I don’t have a SE backup. Any other ideas, or am I totally screwed?
Thanks in advance.
Eric

SOLVED! Using davinci teams services.
@lucascb: if you don't mind parting with $14, give them a try. Good luck!
Now, first and foremost, Hello to the XDA community and this would be my first post. I am having issues with my Xperia Neo V and I can't find a solution for it.
I admit that this is a stupid mistake on my end so let me start my story and I am hoping to get some assistance from a reputable community such as this.
I was installing some games via Google Play and I realized that my phone's internal memory gets full kinda fast as it is where files are saved by default. So, the genius me, tried to remove some stock apps that may contribute to useless disk space using Titanium Backup. All went well and I deleted a couple of stuff and it worked fine then I decided to restart it to factory settings (without doing backup which I regret up until now). I had several malfunctions after it rebooted again:
Whenever I am trying to go to phone book, I am unable to just press the number to make a call. I need to select edit contact first before calling
The middle button (the one with a house Icon, probably called Home Button, does not respond at all so I having a hard time quitting apps
the worst part, I am unable to connect the phone properly using USB. What happens is that when I plug the USB, the charging symbol on the battery bar shows it's charging (like plugged to a wall jack) but the computer does not show anything, regardless if it's Media transfer mode or Mass Storage mode (mass storage shows an empty drive in My Computer). I tried using other usb cables and other memory cards and apparently, it does not work. Other USB cables that works on other xperia neos yeild the same result.
What I was planning to do initially is to update the firmware (currently on 2.3.4), but updating via WiFi shows it's updated, and using the PC Companion does not work.
I know I deleted something that I should not and I'm at a loss. Later, I will attempt to connect my phone in the PC Companion to try and update it to ICS connecting it to my private wifi. Hopefully it would do the trick.
Another work around that Im thinking is to look for someone that does have a backup of the apk files so that I can restore them again in my phone.
Can anyone please assist me on this? T_T
I recommend connecting the device to your PC companion and using the repair option. If that doesn't work, try flashing a stock ROM from either Wotan or get one somewhere from these forums (I'm sure there were a few in the development section)
Good luck

Why don't you just flash an orginal rom (.ftf)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690
And then (after you get what you deleted) you just need to get them into your phone. If you were able to uninstall it, you!re having root. So send it to the phone via bluetooth or download from somewhere via wifi (if the USB doesn't work as you told) and using some file explorer move it to their directory and reboot. I think it should work

~i have no problem putting files into the memory card at all, the issue is that the PC itself does not recognize the phone at all. Thanks for the insight!

~sir...I cant find where that repair option is..
~by the way, the wifi option to connect looks pretty useless, it seems that you need to connect via usb on the "pairing" stage...
Ok here's my idea. Get any stock based rom from the dev page (there's a list in the sticky posts) and male sure it's the proper version. Then download the zip file and open it up. Find system/app or system/data/app or something similar inside the zip. Then simply copy and paste the apps from there to your phone, and don't forget the proper permissions.

If you can put the files into SD card, then use whot venoma333 says and do it through SD card - you can move a lots of files together (for example using ES file explorer).
Or you can try to connect your phone to S(E)US or Flashtool. If it would work, that will be the best for you And I think, that in PCC is some option to "re-flash" your phone (like somebody told here). On the top it says if your phone has the newest firmware version or not. Click on on it and you'll get a window with reapair option
Ok, I'm going to attempt to flash and I reached the xperia website (unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions), and based on the instructions, I checked if "Bootloader unlock allowed" is set to yes, unfortunately, my phone says no.. Can I still continue the process??If not, is it still possible to do manual firmware update without unlocking the bootloader?
There is no need to unlock bl for flash process. So forget that page, for now.
You mentioned pc companion, what happens when you start pc comp. and connect your phone(turned on)?
If it doesn't connect to pcc, go to device manager on your pc and tell me how is your phone named there and does it have yellow ! mark next to it?
This is the last thing that I think could possibly work, does anyone know an android 2.3.4 iso nandroid? I think that's the best way to do it for now..I am unable to do the hold back button while restarting, does not work for me

Nothing happens in PCC, it will show that no devices are found. In DM, it shows:
-Sony Ericsson sa0102
|_Sona sa0102 ABD Interface driver
I was trying to update it using PCC, it recognizes the device after I mount the memory card.
What I have done, I restored the system using CWM using this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1630348.html
It worked, however, since the carrier and model brand is not the same, I was unable make my sim card/carrier to work.
My hope now is to get an ISO file for android version 2.3.4 which is from a generic phone. I live in the Philippines and my carrier is SMART telecommunications.
Apparently, the update from the link is for a Verizon phone
If you want alot of space, use a small ROM. Alot of devs have come up with stock Xperia GB ROMs that are easy on memory. To fix, You'll need to flash the entire phone with a stock ROM. Then flash a custom ROM. Besides that, you do know you can transfer apps to SD.
