Hi！I‘m a Chinese user of X10.I've got a serious problem of my X10.
weeks ago,i updated my phone to 2.1(Update Service).
i don't know why my X10 started to give no response occasionally.
Any button would not be useful ,i need to pick off my battery and operated system again
(sometimes Android would say my SD Card is broken but after i reboot again that would be OK)!
so anyone who has the same problem?
should i dowdate to 1.6 ?
or should i try to install 2.1 ROM again?
Thanks!
Just Reflash.
Yeah... Just reflash using SEUS. Don't use PCCompanion to update it.
but how to reflash
should i change my CDA again and use SEUS?
Thx
No need to change, just dowload seus & go for reinstall. If these doesn't work than grab a global generic firmware & flash your phone using flash 2.1 X10i.

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I was installed 2.1 on my Xperia. After that, my camera stopped working. Everytime,when I try to launch it, i see only "Camera unaviablle". I was trying everything. First, I reflash phone to 1.6, and guess what - the same problem! After that, I was trying "Repair" in PCC and SEUS. Four times. Nothing... Anyone have any ideas whats going wrong? Problem was started after update, but I don't belive, that the update is reason. Please, help me. I have great phone, with great 8mpx camera, but I can't use it... I'm desperate.
probably a hardware problem mate ~ i think you should go to your dealer ~ wer you brought your mobile ~ hope it still on warranty ~ or you would have to pay extra costs !!
I think the same. But I still hope, that anybody have same problem, and it isn't hardware. But if it is hardware - then I'm going to disassembly my phone and take a look what is wrong. Maybe it is only problem with connector or something like this. I think, I haven't warranty after what I was doing with my kit...
in my x10 i cant do video recording only photo shoot
did u by any chane get this problem after installing adw launcher?
Yeah I'm having the same problem which I talked about here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826174
Lets see if we can find some commonalities:
Which phone do you have: X10a or X10i?
Which firmware revision? Nordic? Generic? etc
How did you flash it? Did the flash program say press enter to continue?
When the phone first started up, did you see a Camera --> Phone icon?
Anything else significant that you can think of?
1. I have X10i
2.Now, I have Global FW, but I have Nordic 2.1 when problem was apeared
3. I used Flashtool to flash to nordic, then I used SEUS to update to 2.1
4. YES! I saw this icon! And I knew that this is a sign!
Also, when I flash to Generic 1.6 my phone was bricked. Only vibrate.
I was thinking, that this is hardware problem. But now, thanks you, I think, that is software hopefully. It is impossible, that two person have the same hardware problem in the same circumstances
Do you have any ideas what goes wrong?
Camera worked the first time since 2.1, then I get the camera not available message. didn't try to go back to 1.6... Hope the camera didn't break..
Camera not available
Hey iv got the same problem, when I start the camera it says "Camera Not Available" iv tried everything iv re-flashed the phone used SEUS and reinstalled the FW however still the same problem. Done factory reset. cleared cache
Iv even downgraded back to 1.6 and the camera still doesn't work
it still says "Camera Not Available"
Can some1 please help?
Is anybody here, who might help us? Or tell us what is wrong, ane where we must search reason of this problem?
Hi,
Adding my woes listed in post 8993145
1. I have X10i
2. I currently have Nordic 2.1 loaded, but I originally had global 2.1 loaded and have reloaded that 3 times before I tried Nordic.
3. The firmware files I have are ok as I have flashed 5 other phones for work colleagues with no problem.
4. I used Flashtool to flash to global and I have also used SEUS to reload 2.1
I can successfully root the phone, and everything else appears to be working apart from the camera.
My problem is solved, I emptied the picture/video folder using a file manager (in the DCIM folder of the SD card). Camera is working again
I tried and nothing. So, my problem this isn't reason for my kit. Anyone else tried this method? Or anyone solved this problem? Or anyone want help us? Maybe devs? Even for money...

Worked here!! Camera is back again!
Update: It crashed again but i've tryied to remove Vignette (demo) of the device and it worked!
I have removed the photos held under the DCIM directory, but the camera is still not working for me.
I think we need bin4ry or someone who knows a bit about the flash process. I feel that the issue has something to do with something that stays between flashes. Otherwise, flashing back to old firmware would fix the issue.
Have you tried backing up your sd card then formatting it and replacing the files? (and empty dcim)

Tried. Not working. It's truth, we need bin4ry...
I have the same problem with my X10a, I flashed it with 2.1 nordic using bin4rys flashtool. I formated my SD and nothing.
Ah so the problem resurfaces
Back when i had 1.6 on my x10i ... the camera apk would crash when i clicked on the camera button.... [my work around is to use the "on screen" click option]
Hi. This is a simple question but I can't seem to find the answer. Is it possible to re-install the current ROM/Firmware of the X10 mini from the phone ? I went to all the menus but can't find this. Where is the option to whype the phone completely and re-install to default settings ?
Use seus, be carefull the new fw isnt rootable
Sent from my E10i
First I want to do this from the phone.
Second, I have just downloaded SEUS (2.10.12.15) and I have followed every options in there, and the only thing this software can tell me is that my phone is up to date and I can't do anything : I can't reload, can't re-instal firmware... I this normal ? Do you want screenshots ? (By the way my phone is running 2.1 and is rooted).
screenshots of seus
Here are some screenshots of seus, and I don't see where you can re-install the firmware...
Another thing, people keep telling me to go to Settings - SD Card and Memory - and to restore factory settings from there, but I don't have that option either, I just see options for SD card and available free space. Can anyone tell me how to restore factory settings on a rooted x10 mini running 2.1 ?
Another strange thing, I have a friend with X10 mini pro rooted running 2.1 and he has the restore factory settings option in there, and if you go to the SE website they this for the Pro :
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ckupandrestorets/xperiax10minipro?cc=au&lc=en
and for the mini they don't says anything about that...
Go to settings, there is something with security, there you can load factory settings...
Sent from my E10i
try Settings/Privacy and there you'll see Factory data reset
another thing, try uninstalling SEUS (and PC Companion) from your PC, reboot and reinstall, just to make sure it clears your cache...
and try if the repair/reinstall option for your firmware finally shows up in SEUS.
cheers!
Dude ! You're a ****ing genius. Thank you so much. They put the damn thing in Privacy, in 1.6 it was somewhere else. Go figure.

I am facing a very annoying problem: my x10 mini(unrooted) automatically gets restarts.
Some of the days it works fine. But once it gets restarts then it restarts atleast 3-4 times a day. I have tried to reinstall the android firmware but still the problem prevails. I keep the phone memory at 21-22MB level, is the problem because of this( But I want to tell you 1 thing that I bought the phone in november and in feb end my phone was not switching on ,then I went to SE service centre they reinstalled the firmware and the problem was solved. Since then I am facing the problem of rebooting, before that it worked fine. I used to keep the phone memory around 2mb in the initial days of purchasing and it worked fine even in 2mb so I guess low phone memory is not a problem. I rooted my phone in november but when service centre employee reinstalled the firmware then I lost rooting.i.e. Now my phone is unrooted). Can the problem be because of SIM card or SD Card(corrupt files which I am aware of) or it is because of some other reason?
I dont want to go to the service centre because I feel that they will just reinstall the firmware which I already have done. It would be great if you could tell me any solution. If not the solution then a user friendly and so technical language using app which show the log of my phone so that I can figure out what happens in the system. But I really want a solution. Please guys help! Hope you guys would bring all your experience into play and help me.

Well ..people will need some more specific info ..like are you on the latest SE update ? what programs did u install (seems u did install quite a few as ur phone memory is ~22 MB ). Anything you noticed when it reboots ? Like while doing some operation or running something in particular when this reboot happens ?
Why dont you do a fresh flashing of the latest update through SEUS (not PC companion) and then just stick to the stock ROM (without installing anything else) for 7-10 days and see how it behaves ?
You can always take a backup of ur essentials like SMS and contacts (if you are not syncing ur contacts with google ) before you flash using SEUS.
There are ways to check the logs (using logcat ) but not sure how much effective it might be as u might not be in a position to check logs everytime when your phone reboots.
Hope this helps. Really there was very less inputs available for giving any solution.
I am having the latest android firmware. I updated the android firmware by downloading a firmware file avaible on the sony's website, I don't know what it is called but I surely didn't used pc companion for updating. There is no specific app which I am using when it restarts.
I will give any necessary info which will help you to suggest a solution.
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
you cannot just download a firmware from SE site ..it can be done only by two ways one via PC companion and the other by SE Update service. (SEUS)
And yes , it would be better to reflash through SEUS . It does seem that you have installed lots of things ..better forget them now and just use the stock ROM from SE.
Hey guys,
i have a very very big problem.
The X10i of my girlfriend restarts randomly the last weeks, so i decided to flash the new firmware using "Sony Ericsson PC Companion" (Germany).
So far no problems, i connected and updated the firmware, SEUS said "done, please disconnect and restart" and now the touchscreen is functionally only for about 5 - 10 seconds.
After this i can't press anything except the hard keys.
If I do nothing, the phone restarts.
I've already done the firmware update twice but no difference.
Can anybode help me?!
Thanks
-----------------
edit2:
Problem still there.
Sometimes I can use the touchscreen for a short period of time, but after a while there ist still the problem from the beginning.
-----------------
edit:
I've just used the Flash Tool to downgrade and upgrade the kernel.
Now it seems that there are no problems anymore.
I hope so.
goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 and flah a 2.1 ftf file into the x10 and it should fix it.
If still not working send it to Sony Ericsson for a repair and make stutter you unroot your phone beforehand.

Flashing/Installing Miui 1.9.16 language pack
Thank you guys,
after rebooting the phone several times there isn't any problem with the touchscreen anymore.
I don't know what the problem was and if it will get back.
Maybe I will try your suggestion x10 2.2 user.
Now I have another question:
I've flashed a miui 1.9.16 rom and it's working like a charm.
But I can't using the language pack by saandur to change the rom language to german (my girlfriend isn't very familiar to the english language), I've tried all possible combinations of wiping the cache partition and dalvik cache before and after flashing.
My process was:
Stock 2.3.3. Android rom
-> used Flashtool to get root access
-> used Flashtool to install xRecovery
-> installed miui 1.9.16 rom using xRecovery
-> rebooted
-> wiped dalvik cache
-> flashed language pack
-> reboot
But in the settings I can only choose between english and chinese.
Any suggestions?
First I want to thank all members that have invested precious time and effort to help everyone! You are doing an amazing job!
Second thing I want to say is that I've searched the hell out of the Xperia X10 forum to find solution for my problem. But everything I found and tried was so far unsuccessful. After 1 week of unsuccessful trials, today I decided to join and open this thread as a final effort to seek for answers and a possible solution.
Problem: Every time I open camera application I receive message: "Camera not available"
Tested solutions:
1. I tried SEUS and upgraded to latest firmware: - Phone wont start, gets stuck on camera icon.
2. I tried Sony PC companion, update mode: Same as number 1. Then I tried repair mode: Same as 1.
3. I tried Re-installing a dozen of stock firmwares, 1.6 , 2.1 , 2.3. From branded to Global: - Phone works perfectly, but "Camera not available".
4. I rooted, installed xrecovery, tried several solutions, changed files. no progress.
5. Installed custom rom: Donut HD2.2.6 - Phone works amazingly, but "Camera not available"
Phone info:
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i
Baseband: 2.1.71
Kernel version: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 [email protected] #1
Build number: DonutHD2.2
ETS is ******-8
Currently rooted and installed CWM and Xrecovery.
Cant unlock bootloader since it doesn't recognize certificate
I had a SD card problem before. Solved it by formating sd card with HP disk format software.
I hope someone could help me with this. I don't want to believe that the camera is dead because the phone is in perfect condition. But this would eventually be the final answer.
Thank you!
Have you try this:

Unfortunately I'm not able to try and test this solution because I requires a rooted stock android 2.1 (eclair).
My phone doesn't start up on any of the 2.1 stock versions. So far I flashed around 7-8 different 2.1 versions from global to branded etc. but no luck.
Camera with arrow on screen icon appears after which "Sony Ericsson" screen appears and phone gets stuck here and phone temperature rises.
This happens with all 2.1 versions and also when I update with SEUS latest X10 android version.
Only 2.3.3 functions properly on my phone and amazingly battery lasts for 2-3 days even with constant usage of wifi, calls, music and gaming.
But when I tried your suggested solution with the rooted 2.3.3 it gave me some errors in the CMD. Which I tried resolving by running "runme" file as administrator. But another error appears. This is I suppose because of the different android version. The guy says that it works only on a rooted stock 2.1 firmware.
Is there any other way I could test his solution on 2.3.3 rooted stock firmware ?
Thanks again for the reply!
I appreciate it!
