try nordic fw
now even can't switch on my x10...how to try nordic fw?
You're probably going to need to send it in for service. when my phone failed upgrading the firmware before it was impossible for me to recover it, it would always fail at 99.9% or so.
funny thing though, the service place managed to flash it without openign the phone. but none of the flash tools worked on mine. So we need whatever tool they have to force flash
are you sure?now i am trying to rescue it and kept restorel it back from the update service software...

Hey there =)
Yesterday I tried to update my X10 with SEUS. I followed the instructions carefully but at the end of the update (90 % ) the processing bar of the programm get stuck and the "Update Failed" window appeared
I turned on the phone but after the "Sony Ericsson" Logo the yellow exclamation mark appeared, and it didn't start the OS.
So i tried about 20 times to update it with SEUS again and after that i tried the restore function of PC Companion but it also diddnt work....the processing bar gets stuck at about 90 % or 95 percent and the the update failed again....
I tried the rooting thread for newbies to get the firware back on the phone but it didn't work because the phone doesn't start, so i couldn't activate USB Debugging....
WHAT CAN I DO??
please help me!
Unfortunately there is nothig you can do besides sending the Phone to SE for replacement.
The problem that you have encountered is a hardware fault.
It happened to me once while I tried to root my phone. At some point the flashtool returned with an error and the last lines said something about a write error and a major error servity.
What's the problem exactly?
Some parts of the memory are faulty and can't be written to. Therefore the flash tool or SEUS can't complete their task and return with an error.
How to solve?
The only ay to resolve this problem is to get a replacement.
If you have tried to flash it with some older firmware flash it again with SEUS (just for warranty reasons) and it to SE or visit a shop of your carrier and have them return it to SE. Just tell them you tried to update with SEUS and it broke your handset.
I had a short chat with SE support and told them my problem, only advice was: return the phone to SE, nothing else can be done.
To me it seems like they had that problem a few times already.

So did you actually try it, because you don't need the phone in debugging mode to get into flash mode. Run Step 1, and if it completes your phone should be ok, then try seus again.
What if the memory fault hypothesis is true? Then running Step 1 will probably also stall as it does with SEUS, because of write-to-memory problems?

Possibly, but won't know unless you actually try.
Worry not, you're not the only one with the issue. A couple of people on the SE forums as well as myself have experienced this phenomenon.
(See here: talk.sonyericsson.com/message/27709#27709 ) - add the HTTP yourself, because I have less than 10 posts.
Only yesterday, I handed my X10 into the T-Mobile store for a free "repair". No telling whether they'll attempt to "repair" the phone, or if they'll swap the phone entirely, though; only two weeks of waiting will tell.
I've had software-related problems before with Sony Ericsson phones - namely the K850i and the C902. I've had to send those models off for repair several times, to eventually agree to have the K850i replaced for free after the third repair. The only thing the T-Mobile repair guys can do is attempt to reinstall the software and perform some test phone calls to ensure the device works - if I can't flash the X10 to repair it, then I have serious doubts that the phone techs can flash it.
While brining this up, the T-Mobile representative also said that the C905 "was even worse than the C902." The X10 is just another addition to the history of Sony software failures. In this case, it's probably a hardware flaw with the X10 that causes the problem, but the problem experienced is still software-related. What happened to their long line of stable phones, like the W810i? That phone really was a jewel for its time.
Hey, I'm not entirely sure this is the right place to post, but here I go -
I was originally on Nordic Generic firmware when I first tried to upgrade to 2.1 through PCC.
The update failed at 100% and I was left with the bricked icon. I tried to update through SEUS and the update was successful, however the phone never booted up after 10 minutes of blinking.
I tried to update again through SEUS, this time it failed. My first thought was to flash back to the Generic Nordic firmware but I kept getting the brick icon.
So I downloaded the XIOFUB.rar file and it successfully flashed and my phone booted. Version: R1FA016. Now that the phone at least booted up I though, hey.. let's try to update trough SEUS and at least go back to R2BA026. Update failed, phone bricked.
I tried the XIOFUB with R2BA026 .sin files, successful flash, bricked phone.
Now, what options am I left with? What can I do to successfully get my 2.1?
Edit: Even tried upgrading OTA through R1FA016. Even then it bricked...
Hello,
I am having some trouble with a chinese s2,
I read alot on this forum, and I was able to flash my own s2.
But mine is bought where I live, in belgium. My dad bought one in china.
I tried to put on a belgian firmware, but he won't accept it.
I used odin, but it stops when he tries to upload the firmware:
NAND write start
write operation failed
I've been searching the whole day by now, but I can't get it fixed.
Can anyone help me out please? I have got only 3 days of android experience.
*UPDATE*
I was able to flash a kernel to the device.
before that, I couldnt start up the phone, now I can start it up again.
But I still can't flash a matching firmware...
Thanks in advance.
do you have the soft brick icon now? (the one with a small triangle between the cell and a computer). I tried exactly that flashing other country's rom and I have a failed write. Just try to flash it back to HK or asian rom and see if it boots your phone. for some reasons it should allow you to flash back your old stock rom
Yes I had that triangle, but now the phone functions normal again...
If I upload a new kernel the phone works, if I trie to upload a new firmware it wil fail and the phone won't start up again.
I cant get it solved....
Does anyone know how I can at least get the market to work on it?
I installed market apk on it, but when I trie to open it, it asks for my google account and then crashes.
Hi guys, I've had a look around for this, but I can only find the solution for bootloaders that are unlocked. I suspect my Ray WASN'T unlocked. I accepted the OTA 2.3.4 update, thinking it would be fine. But the phone now shows the exclamation mark. I can get into both the recovery and fastboot modes (green/blue LED).
None of the recovery solutions are working for me. Is there a way for me to fix this, or will the phone have to go to a Sony Ericsson shop.
The official PC software from SE won't restore it either.
it is wise to go to sony shop , they will fix it
Not sure if this will solve your problem, but it solved mine:
The problem was with the bootloader. So I tried FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick which brings a small firmware information to reset the bootloader.
The problem I was having was to be able to correctly connect the phone to the flash tool. My phone's USB connection was constantly going up and down. So I decided to uninstall all the tools and drivers and install them from scratch.
In short, here's what I did.
Installed Update_Service_Setup-2.11.10.7.exe from sony ericcsson in order to get the USB drivers to work.
Followed the instructions of the Update_Service and flashed the latest update available for my phone (2.3.4). This didn't solve the startup problem, just installed the latest update.
I ran the Update_Service again and restarted the process has if I was going to flash again, but after the Update_Service detected the phone I canceled the installation. (I did this just to make sure the phone was connected in FlashBoot)
Then I installed FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe, opened the folder of the application and ran X10FlashTool.exe
Hit Flash button and the program opens a Firmware Selection window with a preloaded firmware with two reseting contents (loader.sin, preset.ta). Hit OK button and waited until the program indicated the flash process was finished. The process of flashing takes a few minutes and we need to be patient. It might even seem like it's doing nothing but we just have to wait.
After finishing the flash process the program invited me to disconnect the phone and turn it on. I did so and the phone took probably a minute or so to startup. At first I thought it didn't solve the problem, because it was taking so long to start, but it did solve! So I waited patiently and the Sony Ericsson logo showed up giving me a new hope. After that I had to wait another 4 or 5 minutes for the phone to finish applying the new firmware mentioned in point 2. (There's no visual information of the conclusion process so you might wonder the phone might have hung.) Just waited and everything got back to normal with the benefits of the new firmware 2.3.4 (instead of the previous 2.3.3).
I hope it helps someone having the same issue.

Hi all there!
Two weeks ago I connected my phone to my PC to download some pictures and Smart Switch told me that there's a software update available. In the past I updated the software of my old S7 this way many times and always it was ok so I decided to go ahead. The process started but it failed at 40% and phone was soft briked. Smart Switch told me that I need to do a emergency software recovery. Not having other choice I proceed with it but it also failed saying that there's error in the phone. Not knowing what to do I decided to flash the phone with Odin. Downloaded firmware from samfw.com loaded it in Odin putted the phone in download mode connnection was OK and pressed start. Process started but after short time also failed. When I tried to reboot it only showed the green screen saying that there were error while updating software. Not knowing what to do anymore tried several times emergency software recovery but always failed. After that I decided to bring it to a service center next day. On the next morning I decided to try emergency software recovery for last time before bringing it to the service and this time was successful. Now phone works ok but when I check for updates says that theres none but when connect it to PC Smart Switch says that there is update available. After all this bad experience I'm scared to use Smart Switch again. So the question is why the phone can't see the update and will it be possible to update the software with OTA again. If someone has similar experience please give me advice what to do.
Thanks in advance!
Moderators can delete this thread.
I thought that after all this that happened phone won't receive OTA updates but that's not the case. Probably there were some delay because it was available with Smart Switch but not via OTA. This morning I cheked for updates and there was update available and I installed it.
