Hi,
I have an Xperia X10 with Cyagenmod 6 (gingerbread 2.3.3) but it's broken. It won't boot any more. Some days ago it just went out, and it won't start up again. The phone behaves as if it freezes the moment android should load. Like if your computer would freeze in bios, unable to load your operating system.
I'm also not able to repair it with SEUS because although it recognizes the phone, it can't reset because the phone freezes just before the stage in witch it can reset.
I am kind of a noob with these things and therefore hope one of you guys could help me out. I'm not really looking foreward te buying a new phone already
Thanks!

umm.. Do u move your mobile when the flashing process is going on? The xperia USB slot is pretty sensitive. Moving the phone can cause it to lose connection and abort the flashing process
28/048/2011 21:48:10 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
i always receive this error if i move my phone.
Notice if you hear the USB device unplug sound from your PC before this error occurs.

it doesnt seem to be a connection-problem (no usb unplug sounds).
it seems that the phone is in a state, where bootup is not possible
But the phone is not required to boot during flashing. Did you try changing the USB slot on your PC? The one you're connecting your phone to? Try another slot. Sometimes that works too.

same result. can't flash
Me too. Can't flash with Flashtool (latest version), even without moving my phone. It starts flashing, but the progress bar shows of no progress. After a while it just says Error - Abort Flashing. I tried all of my USB port, but nothing changes.
after doing and trying my battery got completely drained (red led blinking) so i left it on the wallcharger for ~1day..
then at sometime it managed to boot up itself.. i left it for charging till 100%
after that i did a few "wipe battery stats" in xrecovery and now it seems to work stable again..
is it possible that messed up battery stats could cause the problem?
Wow, that would be nice.
A question! Was the little led on while charging? Because when I put my phone in the loader, it turns green (as if the battery is completely empty) and after a while it just goes off (when it would normally turn red). Do you have that to?
Putting my phone in the loader now, and waiting till tomorrow! Hope this helps!
yea, i've noticed this with my phone too..
strange led behavior..try to plug the charger first (green led turns on, cant say whether its charging or doing anything else) and then put in the battery and wait
maybe you're lucky and the phone will boot
and report pls
I didn't work. I've put my phone in the loader for over 24 hours, but nothing happened.
But my phone wasn't completely drained. Perhaps that is a condition to make this work. The only question is, how do I drain my battery when I can't turn on my phone?
i have used an 5watt light bulb ^^
connected on + and - and then waited till light goes out
Wel, I connected a little lamp and waited until it went out. Then when I put my battery in my phone and pressed the ON button nothing happend, not even the green light flashing shortly.
When I put my phone in the loader the LED started flashing red. And that whent on for a while until it stoped, and the LED did nothing. Then I waited over 24 hours, but nothing has happend.
When I put my phone in the loader now, it's just like before, the green light burns a little while, then nothing..
it happened to me again.. freeze and then no boot.
but i think i know whats wrong. for my phone i can say, that the battery is ok and the rom/os aswell.
its hardware problem. something is screwed up inside the phone.
when i press the phone at randomly places and hold it + then pushing on-button it boots up
i will open it tomorrow
Hi guys/girls/undecideds,
My phone made me a sad panda recently when it stopped booting correctly - on startup it vibrates as it should, the screen lights up, but does nothing more - it does NOT reach the sony-ericsson logo that comes up, and the light goes off. It continues to repeat this loop about once every five or so seconds.
Obviously, not being a total moron (i'm only like, 40% moron), my first thought was to reflash the software, but I can't, because every time I connect the phone to flashtool, it disconnects a couple of seconds later and obviously, the flashing fails.
Can you help me find my smile?

It's behind the cupboard on the second floor, you left it there last week
But on a more serious note, have you tried doing a repair using either SEUS or PC Companion? It flashes your phone all the way back to original firmware, but that's always better than nothing
Yes, i've since repaired the firmware and the problem persists.
If you start it up, does the led flash red?
Nothing from the LED. Only time I can see the LED is when it's on charge.
uhmmm... i guess Sony-Ericsson repair center would be an option at this point, wouldn't know what it could be.
Was this just random? Or any damange happend?.. Looks like some harware issue.. If u can find some video's on youtube make for disassmely n check if internal the connection are connected properly. Specially the flex which connects to the motherboard.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
Yes, disassembled and reassembled the phone and checked all the internal connections, and everything seems fine as far as I can tell - I disconnected and then reconnected all the connections anyway just in case, and the problem persists.
Problem just started one day, but I was drunk at the time (surprise surprise) so it's not inconceivable that it MAY have taken some damage, but I'm very much certain it did not.
Ok can u tel which ROM n kernel u are on?? N after connecting ur phone into flash mode ( as u said in the main thread ) it disconnects, can u tell which error it reports from its log..
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
No idea which rom and kernel - what's on it currently will be the latest firmware that PC companion repairs with.
I can't tell which error it is, it just says "error: flashing aborted" in flashtool.

Once, I got the same problem as you... I solved it via SEUS... Seeing you said 'PC Companion', I suugest you to use SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service). Those are two different programs..
Hopefully, it helps..
And, by the way, what happened when you open flashtool, and connect your phone in flash mode ? Does it keep getting errors, or just when you tried to flash some kernel ?

Hi there. First of all, sorry about my english, but i'm spanish
I was reading a lot, and i cant find a solution to my phone. It sudently becomes a brick just when charging (with anothers phone charger) and the battery was lower than 10%
It doesn't work, and don't response to any of all solutions i've read (Take out SIM, SD card, remove battery and wait... ) no way... Screen never come back to iluminate again. Just, when pushing power buttom, the phone's vibrates.
So tired of the brick, i've arrived at this page. And I read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
And try to become my phone back...
At least, the phone enter in flashmode, and i can flash with flashtools... but the phone never come back... just the brick
I tryed to flash with the Xperia_2011_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file and OK
Afther that, take out the USB and flash again with one ROM i get from here:
Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i)
4.0.2.A.0.42 - http://www.mediafire.com/?hevz3x5w9pqt24q
4.1.B.0.431 - http://www.mediafire.com/?j0bdx06zz5skvzt
But the phone never works. One time afther flashing with 4.0.2.A.0.42 i noticed, that trying to power on the phone, the red led shyne 3 times, and thats supposed to be the battery. But i don't know if the battery now is charged. I've left it hours charging, and hours too to the USB...
Supposedly, i cant flash without battery in the phone, but flashtools finish correctly
So... any idea?
There is something i can do?
Thank all of you who read this!
Its probably battery empty. recharge battery or get a friends and try

First make sure that your battery is really fine. Try another one.
If that fails, see if you can get your device into flash mode?(Switched off+Vol Down + USB cable)
If yes, try flashing a custom ROM. For example, download CyanogenMod from here, use Flashtool (guide) to flash the kernel provided in the downloaded ROM's ZIP file. Then, boot again into Clockword Mod Recovery(Keep pressing Vol DOwn button while boot or google for how to enter recovery for your phone). Copy the downloaded Cyanogenmod ZIP to SD card and install it via ClockwordMod recovery.
See if the above works.

At least my phone (LWW WT19i does not work without the battery with Flashtool. I'm not sure about your device.
Anyway try flashing a custom ROM like I said. Try unlocking bootloader first though from here
U said that red light show when try to on the phone.
Just try another battery.. It should work

You said LED blinks 3 times so if the color of LED is RED then it indicates empty battery..
Hey, my problem wasnt the same as yours, but it helped for me when i got only service logo on screen.
On this link you find a "Play_v1.01_TA brick fix UPDATE" zip.
Download, unpack and flash it.

Hi guys,
I'm having a little problem here with my XS.
As you can read in the title, my XS is bricked and bootloop all the time, even when I plug in with wall charger.
I tried some tips like holding power+volume down when I plug in my phone, nothing ^^'
I was using XCreaM 3.2 (which work very well by the way ), my phone was rooted with Locked BL.
After uninstalling an application, I reboot my phone and got this awful bootloop :crying:
- I tried with SEUS, but got an error before installing updates (talking about verifying if my battery is charged)
- I tried to flash stock rom with flashtool (0.8.0.0 / 0.90.0. / 0.9.6.0 and even an older one), and with different firmware (GB, ICS...FR,UK,CH) but nothing.
I always got the same error (if i check "no final verification") :
27/000/2012 18:00:30 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0009";ERR_DYNAMIC="Final data verification failed";�
27/000/2012 18:00:30 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
If I don't check it, flashtool do all the job but when I try to reboot my phone, I still have bootloop
Now I don't know what to do, except sending back my phone and praying for warranty work lol
Thanks in advance for your help.

You could try to unlock your bootloader, this will factory reset your phone anyway.

He guys. I've been trying to sort my friends X10i that's stuck on the boot screen displaying either the Sony Ericsson logo or a camera icon with an arrow pointing down towards an image of the phone,
He told me he tried to update the phone with SEUS and it switched off half way though. Since then it just hangs at boot as described above.
I have tried using SEUS. The phone is recognized and the process goes all the way to 100% but when I try and reboot after completion it just hangs again. Interestingly every time I connect it to SEUS it tells me there is new software available.
I have also tried using FlashTool 0.9.8.0 and these ROMS:
Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_GLOBAL-GGL_GENERIC_1232-9897
X10_1.0_SE_StockRom_MultiTouch
Like SEUS, FlashTool reports that ROM flashing was successful and ask me to reboot but the same thing happens. It hangs.
My friend bought the phone second hand and so has no idea if it was running a stock or custom ROM or had a locked or unlock bootloader.
I've searched high and low on the forums for an answer and can't find one.
Can anyone help?
try flashing the doom kernel from flashtool
Hey finalbillybong dont despair, all is not lost.....yet
First be sure the phone is fully charged - like overnight....
Try playing around with flashtool... its quite powerful... go to 'help/ check drivers' and see what happens.
Just be sure to flash the right kernel (its easier to .ftf files) for the right rom. Some work really well together and some are just o.k. If unsure search the forums - i know its painful but read all the noob stuff.
Here are some links - some are fairly old but the principle is the same - just search the forums for updated versions/software.
