Hey guys.. i have a big problem with my X10
I wanted to flash back to the newest generic 2.1 (I had the newest rooted 2.1) .. turns out it wasnt such a smooth ride..
I used the "X10 Flash Tool" and the newest generic 2.1 rom from this thread
Everything went fine, no error messages but now my X10 will not boot.
When I turn it on I feel the phone vibrate for a split second as usual and then the phone's backlight keeps turning on and off and nothing happens.
I tried reflashing it with SEUS; Also no error messages and the update completed but still the same.
Is my phone bricked or is it worse?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Try reflash with THIS
Thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately it didn't work.. Flashing completed without any errors again but still I have the same problem..
Any other suggestions?

I will try that, thank you.
But, isnt the repair function in PC Companion practically the the same as reflashing with SEUS?
Fixed it!
Before I started this topic I had searched the forum for my problem but did not find anything. Just a moment ago i ended up at a thread here at xda (via google) with someone who had the same problem (XperiaX10User, you tried to help him to) and "Vazelos" posted a reply with a link to the "ROOT_F3v3.rar" by jerpelea.
I only did step 1 and got it working again.
1.6
R1FA014
(1.6 feels smoother then 2.1 )
did you update it to 2.1 again or steel using 1.6?
you've could also use davincyteam website, there you can buy the original rom. it's cost me about 15 dollars to have the old useless android 1.6. this is when you are really desperate.... hope it helped. : )

Try repairing using PC companion.
Welcome to this side of flashing issue. I just recovered from it this morning after hours of search and flashing. Jerpelea said that Kernel has gotten mixed up and try to take the battery our for a while and then put it in and try to go to boot, Flash earlier 1.6 ROM I did the R16 and it worked, I had a hardtime flashing with R26.

Could you get into flash mode? I currently can not... I am bricking myself at the thought of my phone being bricked!!
I had the same problem a while ago and the only thing that worked was a firmware uploaded by jerpelea. Have a look at what I posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9206194&postcount=11
I had about the same problem with my phone a while back, I could still get it into flash mode if I was quick though. If you can get it into flash mode try and follow this tutorial on Youtube, it's a working way for downgrading from 2.1 to 1.6
ht tp:// w w w. youtube .c o m/watch?annotation_id=annotation_468774&v=K9qB8z6EjtY&feature=iv
If it bricks it will prolly brick after a few seconds, just pull out the battery and try again getting it into Flash Mode. Good luck
As stated on one of your other threads, until you've repaired your usb port posts like this are pointless.
I can angle it to get a connection. That's why I am continuing with this thread
But thanks
tie your x10 to a brick and throw it at a SE service centre.
Waste of a brick.
Hi there.... a similar thing happened to me. I have a UK T-mobile X10 which I had upgraded to nordic 2.1 and needed to downgrade back to 1.6 because I was getting a warranty exchange the next day.
I used the CDA method to change my phone cda back to uk t-mobile and the damn thing wouldnt downgrade via seus. Then I tried flashing to R2BA26 which bricked my fone...green light would come on and the damn thng would just vibrate!!!
I then flashed it with 2.1 Global generic from jeprelea's thread and everything is ok now!

@Z3X, you've started 3 threads on this same topic, here, here and here.
Not
here is the situation
the x10 is dead, when trying to turn it on nothing happens(no vibration w/ black screen)
if take the battery out and put it back and try to turn it on, the phone would vibrate a bit with black screen
the programs however do recognize the phone when plugged in
well i basiclly tried three things to try to repair it
1. SEUS-which oddly tells me that the phone is up to date but the phone is still a brick
2. PCC- which gave me err
3. Flashtool- which gave me err too(i was trying with X10i 2.1.A.435 Global Generic)
when i tried to flash the phone it told me to turn on the phone then turn on Unkonwn Sources and Debugging... which obviously i can't do
i believe this would be the 1000th time someone post thread about this problem but i have to ask for some help after spending my whole sunday afternoon trying to solve the problem by myself.
i'm on the edge of giving up so this will be my last attempt if nothing new comes up
╰(￣▽￣)╮ thanks to anyone who finished reading this boring thread and if there is a suggestion feel free to post it thanks again
I think we both have the same problem, I tried flashing it to the generic 1.6 fw and I was able to revive the phone. After which I updated it to 2.1 fw, now it seems to be working fine.
maybe a physical problem?
please try to flash with flashtool and post a log
Well, I also had a similar issue after updating a busybox from market on CM 6.1.3 rom.
Download the Flash tool & rom for the following link, follow the instruction & you are done my friend.

Well, you don't reinstall busybox and/or xRecovery when you are in a custom rom.
Yeh i agree, you've gone a bit too far. Private message obe of the devs, ur situation is way worse than normal bricks.

I may have posted in the wrong section and before you say there are topics covering this ive tried everything and im at my wits end!
I had a custom 2.2 ROM loaded on my Xperia for months but due to battery life issues i decided to upgrade to 2.3 (Wolf's) without doing much research.. Had i learnt that i needed to upgrade xRecovery to the latest release i wouldnt be in this dilemma.
I did the usual stuff when loading a new ROM but when loading the 2.3.3 ROM it failed.
Now when the phone starts up i get nothing but the SE logo!
Ive tried reflashing.
Ive tried using SEUS/PCC to update my phone - Which to no avail will the program recognize my phone for longer than 10 seconds.
Ive also tried SeTool2 and cant get my head around that.
If anyone has a fast easy fix for an idiot like me please point me in the right direction!
Should also add that i cant access xRecovery.
I am not trying to highjack this post but i am in the same position my phone is stuck in a loop on the black screen with the se logo.Flash tool or the se update service "sees" it for about 10 seconds not long enough to do anything.Please can anybody help?
A quick update i have sorted it i left it on se update and some how it went in to repair mode and i now have a working x10 again.The se repair didnt seem to be doing anything it just said please wait but i switched it on and it worked now i have to root it again lol
I think you should flash stock ROM 2.1 via flashtool, root and flash Xcr. Afterwards, you can follow the WOLF's instructions to flast TW ROM. Remember flash baseband .71
So i tried those things and still havn't gotten anywhere!
I cant flash the only thing i can do with flashtool is change the baseband and thats not very helpful to me atm!
I just wish there was an easy fix but apparently there isnt

Read Wolf's thread!!!
You HAVE to change the baseband, otherwise it won't work! You need baseband .71, which is included in the flashtool package he says to use...

Rooted?
If not, may be the motherboard. I've got the same problem with mine, and I'm going to return it to store for a fix.
You may also want to try to plug it to the computer and open PC Companion and try the "repair" function. But backup everything you need first, I don't think everything get's deleted but be aware that it may happen.
Do u overclock it?

Not To My Knowledge @ The Mo Its Just Running Standard Firmware & Kernal..!
Hi, I got a similar problem. Since a few weeks ago, flashed a ROM and when I've tried to use the phone, it keeps turning off randomly, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after hours. So, I tried to take it back to the clean original 2.3.3 ROM, but it keeps happening. ¿Any idea? ¿Any solution? Please, help me.

Didnt PCCompanion/seus fix it? And still persists?
Then it's time to get a new chipset.
Or a new device.

Try a repair with SEUS or PC Companion first to get you back on stock. If the phone works like that, it may have been a problem with the ROM. Maybe a corrupted download or something like that.

If you made a backup before you flashed the custom ROM you can install xRecovery or CWM again and do an advanced restore and choose data to get your data back Making backups is always recommended ofcourse.
