If the flash tool gets stuck on that file, try another firmware.

If you can manage to get access to another pc, download SEUS or flashtool and try it there.
The only thing I can think of is keep holding down the "back" button untill the whole process is finished.
Ok for some weird reason it works on my lil brothers pc.
I wonder if my USB drivers on my own main pc are ****ed or something.
OMG ITS STARTING :O
I can't believe just using another PC just fixed it. I seriously thought I lost my brand new phone.
And for information, I did use the flashtool as well and that didn't work first. I guess it must be an issue with my pc. Well I won't complain, I managed to get it updated to 2.1 after debranding it (and I was certain I didn't **** that up.)
Thank you so much guys!

It probably has something to do with the installation of java on the faulty pc.
I've noticed it on a friend that had trouble flashing a mini pro with SEUS.

just as a point of interest... the mini pro and X10i I have only flash from the usb port they were originally inserted into... not sure if this is a common issue but if I use any other USB port I get hangs and java problems.
Probably something to do with the way the device ID is recorded i suspect.
One question.. I am using the flashing tool but it seems that i got stuck flashing on amss.sin file... if I disconnect the phone would I kill it? I am saying this because in Motorola phones, if you disconnect the phone in the middle of the flashing process, the phone will be dead... By reading the posts before, it seems that this guy disconnected the phone but nothing happens... but I want to be sure,..

Well Just in case, nothing happened, I did not kill my phone. I flashed it but the whole process was so fast that I thought it was not successful. So, I flashed it again without disconnecting the phone (I was afraid of killing it) and the same thing happened.... after some hour I was brave enough to disconnect it... I turned it on and voila... it was showing the camera and after that I got the version 2.1. I hope this helps someone in the future.

No offence meant, but I cannot for the life of me make out what you are trying to say here. Can you possibly try and rephrase it, perhaps taking a little more time on what you want to say?
he is saying that when the phone is turned on, there is picture of the xperia phone with the exclamation mark.
i think you would need to repair the phone with pc companion.

dont think pc companion willl work in this case. tht is b'cos the card has to be mounted fr pc companion to recognize the fone which is not possible in this case.
download the update service from the sony site. follow the instructions. this might help u recover ur fone..
best luck
i try to make update it by Update Service
but show me your phone already lasts firmware
plz any body have idea about
this problem
Even if update service states you already have the latest firmware just click the option to re-install.
To the best of my knowledge, this error (i.e. exclamation mark when boot up) occurs only when you try to debrand your X10 with a different firmware that does not match your baseband version.
I've had the same problem when I tried to debrand my X10 from X1a (R1A) to X1a (R1B). Although there shouldn't be any problem, seemingly either the firmware was corrupted or it was giving false info to either PC Companion or SEUS, so neither of those programs are able to detect the right firmware for your phone, and that's why it shows up with no option to repair your phone.
After spending much time searching and reading all the possible forums, I was unfortunate to figure out a way to force SEUS or PC Companion to rebrand or flash my backup firmware (as I already saved the original ones). The only way I found to fix that problem was a paid app which would act as SEUS by forces to flash the chosen firmware.
just google "davinciteam" and pick the first link and follow their instructions.
I'd rather to fix it myself since I had my original files, but I couldn't find a way "yet" and I needed my phone ASAP.
Disable development mode in x10

I got the dreaded exclaimation mark of death after trying to do what dad6534 did. Will be interested to know the fix.
@TechGuru_x10 - how do you disable the development mode. Does this fix the exclaimation mark problem?
@dad6534 - did you have to flash back to the original firmware thru Davinciteam? Did you manage to unbrand your phone in the end?
Delete the 13740270 folder in
C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270
and try to update your phone again, only this time use the one with the restore factory settings (Or something like that)
I remembered trying out every possible way to get my phone unbricked(the exclaimation mark sign) and after wasting all my time, the last resort was to go to their service center and ask them to fix it - It's free and why go Davinci team unless you have some spare cash.
I've tried changing the files in the blob_fs to the orignal ones but to no avail. No re-install button, no repair button in both PC companion and SE update service (SEUS). SEUS just told me that my phone has the Latest firmware and the only option was to Exit. PC Companion allows me to repair, but as it is at the 3rd stage where you have held on to the back button and plugged the USB cable in, it just shows me an error in downloading files.

@J3YPS - i've deleted the folder as per your method, ran SEUpdate and i get the same message - "No new software is available for your phone" with no option to repair or restore or reinstall. I'm interested to hear if this worked for anyone else.
@Aztriltus - I have tried using the davinci client to reflash the firmware but it hasnt work. It is looking increasingly likely that I will need to see the service center. BTW what did you tell them when they asked you how you bricked the phone?

Why? SE didnt tell you to flash your phone...you did it at your own risk. Anyways hope u got it worked out man.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
leave the battery out for 5min then try again by opening SEUS and geting to teh screen where it says connect phone
then hold the back button and connect phone
tell us what it does next
yeah that 5 minute wait thingy does not work at all, i followed this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793 and go to the down load right under Flash Tool (can unbrick X10i with provided files), and surprisingly it worked now i have R1FA014 on an x10a, so i guess i am half way though to 2.1. THANK GOD my phone at least is re usable.
i am going to try to go through it again and c if i can get it to run 2.1. now that i was able to unbrick i can unbrick again i guess.
here are the symptoms i was going through, the phone will restart just before getting to the home page... if i put it in a flash mode itgives me an orange ligh a symbol in the middle screen that it was charging and nothing happens. after battling the DEVid thingy and trying it 5 - 6 times one of them clicked in and recognized my phone.
might be good to try to install SEUS and the 2.1 flash on another PC where you have never had SEUS on
first of all let me say that i've don a lot of searching before posting this, and i know it seems pretty long but please try to help me.
i got an x10i from a friend few days a go. the reason i got it (for free) was because it's not working and he didnt want to mess with it anymore.
when i first got it, if i tried to turn it on, the led would flash red. once in a while it got turned on, the sony ericsson text appeared for a few seconds and went off again. now if i try to turn it on the led would flash green for a sec, there is a vibrate but thats it. screen wont turn on at all.
i'f i try to connect it in the SE PC suite it detects it, but fails installing it. i've managed to enter the repair tool, but it failed a few times. however, the last time i tried to repair it said that it was repaired succesfully. still, not turning on.
tried to flash a firmware via flashtool, seems like its going well all the way but in the end it says "error flashing. aborted".
i'm pretty much out of ideas now, so ill really be grateful if anyone could help me.
a little update:
i've manged to flash a firmware via flashtool and it finished without any error, but still it won't turn. only the quick green flash and vibration.
any help will be appreciated.
ok, big update:
the phone is starting, i get past the boot animation and see the main screen (!) but after a sec or 2 the screen freezes and the phone shut down and won't start again unless i replace the battery?
please? anyone? im feeling so close yet so far away. could be a battery issue? when the screen starts i see that the battery is almost empty (connecting it to the charger won't help)
Yesterday i had the same problem ... i had to flash the hole firmware with X10Flash-2.1 and then updating with seus.. after this it restarts and it boot correctly
Not sure if u tried this, try having the phone plugged into the charger and let it charge for a while and then try booting it up again. Firmware wise, I would try a stable 2.1 or the freex10 beta 2.2 for a start to ensure that the software installed are stable ones. Hope this help.
try to fix it with seus...
nothing else willing to work as it seems there is something wrong a little deeper than flashable files...
This is I believe 1000th thread about this.
1. run seus
2. run PCC
3. run flashtool
Done.
SEUS seems to be the most effective way of repairing this.. Although you might also want to try pulling the battery before it freezes, it can help to recalibrate the battery.

thanks to everyone who replied.
i've downloaded and installed on the phone the version by SEUS, but i still cant turn on the phone.
in PC companion nothing is happening. when i go to the support section to get the new version, it just connecting with the phone and then tells to disconnect the phone and turn it on (which of course don't happen).
i've tried to run a repair in PC suite but it fails.
i've also tried to flash a firmware in flashtool, but it also fails.
any ideas?

If i am not wrong windows 32/64 bit does not affect how ur phone is gonna be installed since the installer that is downloaded is for the phone only and the installation process will only be done by the phone itself.
Not sure if u tried a different software such as xrecovery to install the OS into ur x10, since xrecovery with freex10beta4 works for almost all of the users in here, it should work for u if ur x10 has no hardware faults. If all still fails, it might be most probably your x10 hardware has failed or something along those lines.
It work for me, then with the 1.6 you can after that update with seus to 2.1update 1. If your phone doesn't work anymore you have nothing to lose.

4 out of the 9 posts u made had something to do with this website... could you stop please?
@the win7 part... you could get problems if you dont got the right drivers but it would tell you or error out...
the only thing what you could do in my opinion that is is short the pins while battery has been removed
this should effect total emptied phone and hopefully also the memory.... maybe than you are capable to flash/start it...
now if this wont work.. im sorry but im out of ideas and u shud use it to make a new barn or house ;/ im sorry

FIX!
I had the same issue when I was experimenting with ROMs and Recoverys, but not to worry, Sony PC Companion 2.1 does the trick!
Download PC Companion 2.1 from the Sony Mobile website
1. When you download and open it, click start under Support Zone
2. Click start under Phone Software Update
3. When the window saying that a phone could not be found appears, click repair phone
4. A windows like this will appear, click continue to proceed with the repair of the firmware
NOTE: All data that is placed on the phone memory will be wiped but any data saved on the memory card will be spared
5. After clicking continue, a window like so will appear. Tick the box and click next to continue with repair!
6. Sony PC Companion 2.1 will now prepare the computer for the firmware update
7. Now choose your phone model, in this case it should be the Xperia X10 (X10). Select the phone and click Next!
8. Follow the prompts to repair your phone!
GOOD LUCK!!
Always fails for me.
All process end in fail
There must be a file I need to rename or something....
tried everything now...
I have tried everything by now, here i have attached a attachment of error i get while repairing my phone through SEUS..
only option is box flash, but i think its kind of risky...
Fail fail fail..... i'm getting hopeless wif my X10
Hey,
I did some re-search and got to know that somehow my X10 flashes as So-01C in some systems, i.e. xperia arc, even while updating ..........
Anyone here, knows other ways to flash through box other than technician, coz these technicians are real idiot they can crap your phone in 10 seconds, so its better to crap it yourself...
"alternative to box flash, please ???"
Try this
Had the same problem once, when my phone would not start at all, all I had to do was connect it to the PC Companion (2.0), at first it wouldn't repair but after a certain amount of tries it did the trick,
First: Make sure all your drivers are installed, if they were installed there should be no problem.
If they were not, the computer cannot identify your phone, try installing some other x10's drivers (cause your's is bricked I assume) that might do the trick aswell.
Open PC Companion > Support Zone > Phone Software Update (Start) > Follow Instructions > Repair
It might take several tries to get it right
If this doesn't work try the latest flashtool, it should do the trick !!
There must be something you are not doing right, else SEUS/Flashtool should have worked like a charm.
see i get this reply, when updating x10..
I have tried this like thousands of times, installing roms and then removing them and repairing the phone, but this time it has gone over my head........
Hi there, I have a problem. I flashed a ROM and i guess it also flashed a kernel, while im on a locked bootloader... uh oh. The phone can still charge the battery and I get to the SONY logo but nothing after that.

Bump. I have a dead phone here, I've tried another computer and I am still getting these errors. I might have to replace the mainboard
we need more info to understand what happened and possible fix... what rom where you using before flash? lb or ub? what rom and kernel did you try to install and how?

It's hard to remember, my phone was in for repair for an entire month, but because of one chip on the back plate they deemed the issue a physical problem and didn't cover it under warranty.
I think I was trying to flash back to eXistenz but I believe I flashed a kernel by accident, slip of the hand I guess. I went to restart the phone and it became frozen on the SONY logo. The phone is LB. I just need a fix!

i think Envious_Data is right, flashing a stock .ftf with flashtool should fix your problems as flashing wrong kernel shouldn't hard-brick your phone, only soft-brick.
But since you can't get your phone properly recognized on the pc you either have a bricked motherboard (i don't think that's the case) or you are having driver issues on the pc (most likely). maybe try flashing on windows xp?
I agree with the above
