I'm trying to use the graphical flash tool to flash my ATT x10a to 2.1 and have everything working but the flash tool keeps getting hung up on "flashing system.sin" everything appears to be going smooth but it has been stuck there for 20+ minutes. I've gone through everything twice and same issue.
This is where im at:

Couldn't find any likely answers in the forums so if this has been brought up before apologies but any suggestions would be awesome
I'm trying to reinstall the "latest" udapte through SEUS now and then re-running the flash tool to see if that'll get me anywhere. I'm running windows 7 so i don't know if its an issue with permissions, the flash tool or my phone.

Make sure you turn off UAC and disable any anti-virus/malware.
Ive disabled UAC and antivirus, SEUS gets to about 30% of the install portion of the update and locks up then tells me "install failed make sure your phone is fully charged and try again" the phone is charged fully (or nearly now) I noticed in the log the first time i ran the flash tool that i got an error that wasnt there the second time, now after restarting the comp its back:
23/039/2011 16:39:28 - INFO - Sending loader
23/039/2011 16:39:28 - INFO - ### read failed : checksum err! FFFFFFFF!=CBEF977B
23/039/2011 16:39:30 - INFO - Loader sent
after this line it continues, is this normal? it still locks up on "flashing system" forever. I'm plugged into a USB hub so i was wondering if its the speed of the port being to slow but it works fine up until there. I'm gonna try a direct port and see if it makes a difference...
OK, it appears to have been the USB port. It finished the flash but now when I go to boot the phone I get a picture of an exclamation point in a triangle and it shuts back off.

Hello All,
After flashing the stock firmware and waited for the GB updated, . Once GB released, it got updated via PC Companion saying install error or something to try again. 2nd time it appeared again, now the phone wouldn't re-boot to Andriod,Even the SE logo also doesnt apprear. Removed the batteryand all sorts of stuff, however flash mode still works. Then tried to do a Repair via Pc companion it went half way and then again same error. install error...etv. Next used Seus to repair it... same error again "installation error". Next step used flashtool and downloaded a generic firmware.. , i tried installing the "X10i_2.1.1.a.0.28 frimware it mentioned "flashing kernel.sin" and then error flashing. Next downloaded the "X10i_2.0.A.0.504_stock: this time i only reached till. See below :-

man.. hope some of the dev's can help out here... Mods i think can merge the threads since we are suffering the same problem.. Although have you tried flashing your phone??
First, have to say thank you for the works on Flash Tool. As I see, there are lots of ppls benifit from it and enjoy it... little bit jealous...
In my case, I couldnt manage to update my X10i to flash OS or anything. Pls investigate my case...
Actually, my Phone was "Bricked" while when I was updated by SEUS, the processing was stucked at about 25%, and it prompt "...lost connection...error occur..." then, i restart phone, only red led blinks every 2-3 sec. I realize it perhaps problem with battery, then i charge the battery overnight, and it was full charged. Now, when i turn it on, it shows green blink and a little vibration... and that is it, no any sign of booting...after try tens of time repairing, reinstalling through the SEUS and PC Comp, USB ports swap, None of them worked...
I found flash tools and guide on google, then download everything that needed for flash tool, I have latest JRE, PCC, SEUS installed, some stock ROM, Custom ROM.. downloaded. Also i did try to flash ROM of Ver. 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3. None got through the whole process,i believe everything was following the guide. BUT it all got stucked right after FLASHING LOADER...here is my log.

I saw some video on youtube, they only use 4-5min to flash a new OS, but in my case it took my 5mins to flash a loader.sin (<10k.) it must be something wrong with my PC's config or Handset's hardware??? Could you give a hand on this, try to figure out what is causes for my X10i? I was totally pissed off these days. Using backup phone for a week, and lost all the contacts info on my phone...
Did you try it on another computer?
If you can, do that. Be sure to install the gordon gate drivers first. After that plug in the x10 a few times and the computer should give a message of installation. Also connect it in flash mode a few times as that uses different drivers.
I suspect corrupted drivers are the fault, hope I am right.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
yes, i tried 3 different computers.
what is the correct environment for flashtool set up. i installed both SEUS, PCC, JRE(latest), what else needed?
Did you try fully charging your phone and removing the battery for a minute?
Which OS's were the computers using?
Which version of flashtool were you using. The beta or the stable 0. 2. 8 version? Try that one if you haven't already.
It seems to stop after the loader has been flashed. When flashing you can choose what to flash, did you try skipping the kernel? Just flash a few other files excluding the kernel. Check if that works.

yes, it was fully charged. will try your leads tonight. Thanks ahead, and will see again.

it seems all done previously. i did use 0.2.8, did skipped kernel.sin but it will stop at other point. once did sucess for 2 files loader.sin and userdata.sin, but both are small size file, only 10k... I am wondering my ROM phsically damaged at certain place in handset, leads this cant write into it. Is there any tools can use to scan and Repair the rom in handset? all can we skip the bad sector by any change. it similiar to windows diskchk and pm does.
any suggestion?
I'm not that much of an expert but I don't think it uses the Rom when flashing new files.
I think there is nothing wrong with the software as you tried it on different computers and also tried different roms.
Or if you only tried one, try downloading the Rom again.
Do you have another usb cable that you can use while flashing? Or can you try the cable you are using now on another phone to transfer a somewhat bigger file?
It could be that your cable is broken. Like ear phones. If they are broken you can only hear one side or or nothing at all when bending the cable.

issues solved, it was not a software problem, just a connector doesnt conect tie...thanks anyways.
Hey
Ok so i did plenty of research and I have used google and checked how to use flash tool etc etc. Please do not yell at me if someone has had this issue...
Essentially i got myself into trouble by wanting to upgrade to version 2.3.3. I had many issues in the past with the only root method working the superoneclick.
I used to have one of the first phones which was rooted (the very long way) upgrade was dodgy and had to rebuild to 2.1. Unfortunately now i wanted to upgrade to 2.3.3 hoping it is stable..
I thought i found a shortcut....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192152
unfortunately I did everything with his steps, even removing the battery and not rebooting (p.s. i cannot post in the dev thread). Started flash tool and it connected, selected the correct files and this happens:

Phone will now not go into flash mode... I cannot do anything and wont turn on.. any advice? Its stuck on the sony ericson stage... I have no idea why it wont work
did you try SEUS repair?
if you can get it running again i suggest updating to stock 2.3.3 before using a custom rom.

Read errors log and do WHAT IT SAYS. I don't think it will appear this error if you've done this step before flash. If yes, maybe you should ask devs why this error appear.

If you read the whole statement before I did do what it says....
I also said i cannot post in dev forum due to not enought number of threads - thus why the question was here and not in associated thread...
Further more I mentioned the phone would not turn on and is stuck at the Sony erricson screen... thus how can I change those settings? obviously i couldnt... (p.s. as im developing an android app atm ofcoarse the setting was on)
and fourthly I solved the issue already... guys above had an easier way i went the long way..
next time be a bit nicer about the responses and read the whole first statement/post. Everyone else on ere is brilliant with many excellent contributors.

Side Note: How can i label something answered and close the thread?

Hello, I've bought a device which is really hard to repair & I'm running out of options!!! The X10 looks brand new but doesn't boot at all!
Until now I've tried Seus/PcCompanion & latest Flashtool.
What happens when I try to power up the device, it vibrates ones but the screen is just black( think because there isn't any firmware/ Rom on it).
When trying to flash a Generic Rom or any Rom at all it gets into flash mode but aboards the procedure.
I also thought that it might be Sim locked & I have to unlock it to get it repaired?! (tried Omnius tool but that didn't work).
When trying to repair with PcCompanion, while trying to install the update/firmware it cancels by telling me there's been a failure, try again or abort.
The same happens with SEUS!
I've tried both tools at least a dozen times without any success!
I never had problems with my other X10.
I'm starting to think it's hardware related & I'll have to take it to a pro.
If anyone has an idea, I t would really appreciate it, thanks!!!!!

i dunno if this can help . but when the vibrate wait like 6-10sec then flip to the right like you wanna look to the volumes buttons if you saw any whiteness in the dark of the screen then the phone cable is working . if it still black the cable might be got broken or something or maybe there is wire that got unplugged from its place
btw i think you better take it to pro

Thanks, I know what you mean with the whiteness but there isn't, it isn't booting at all & I have those two cables which both work, that can't be it. I think I'll let it get checked by a pro. Your English btw is really good, thanks for trying to help
I think either it's a loose cable inside the phone or maybe I have to flash a specific Firmware (maybe an older one, a down grade) but flashing has never worked.

Really !! didn't know lol xD
btw i meant the cable inside the phone that can let the screen work without it the phone will be working and you only see a black screen while actually the phone is working . so try this
1.Power on phone
2.after phone vibrate . plugin the usb at the same time in pc open flashtool
3.Wait like 6-10 sec if something like this appeared '' Device connected with USB debugging off ''
this means the phone actually working. then this might the inside cable problem . if non of this happened dunno what else i can do for you . did you take to a pro yet ??

Try stock back everything with SEUS first....
I have same problem on another x10.. there is a solution to fix.. probably you brke bootloader..and if it's so..then you have to give it to pro's... to flash whole firmware with box cable..not usb..
But before that..try this.. firstly...take original charger..and connect it to phone..let the battery charge..you can understand it's charging cuz in 30min's or so it will get heater... then pull off battery and let phone to lie without it for 20 min..then without battery connect phone to charger..and wait..you'll get green led.. wait 20 min after that...then put battery back and flash firmware with flashtool..with no firmware check option... flash whole firmware..kernel...baseband..etc..cuz now yo have empty phone... hope this helps..peace.

I´ve given away the phone to a phone repair shop which i think are really good. But since they haven´t called me back I think it´s quite tricky for them too. They´ll charge me 20€ if they can fix it & if not I´ll give Your procedure a Go!!!

Hi Fera!
My phone's still at the repair shop, this guy is convinced he can repair it by flashing the right patch?!? O think he means firmware, so I g gave him another hour to try.
You wrote that i should flash the firmware with no firmware check option?? How shall I do that? Best regards!!!!
Does S1Tool provide any insight into what the state of the phone is??
If it returns it's status, part of the output is the current file system.... or lack there of.

Not recognized simlock certificate
maybe you should unlock phone by settool2?
I thought maybe it has something to do with the simlock certificate, so i tried Omnius Tool but the problem is, you need to check ''Unknown Sources'' which i can´t, cause the phone doesn´t boot at all!
EDIT :
I'm not really sure, but perhaps you should take a look here :

Thanks Bares for Your suport!!! I´ve taken a look into all of these links & had hope again But as i read & eg. tried the flash tool provided in the first link (FOTA unbrick), ones again it didn´t work. The problem there was, i needed to have unknown sources checked which i can´t check, cause the devicedoesn´t & has never booted up before.
And for all the other links, I haven´t got an unlocked bootloader, it´s definately locked, so they couldn´t help. Thanks anyway!!! I wrote Sony a mail, but i guess they´re not going to respond.
Perhaps I should try to unlock my bootloader, if it´s possible, i don´t know.
What worked until now was flashing this firmware (X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_GERMANY with flashtool) but as Fera sugested me to do (exclude Kernel & check no final verification). This only works if the device is without battery for approx 30 min.
I think I also managed to flash Baseband & Kernel this way Ones.
But only when i checked no final verification! Still the device didn´t boot up.....
After a lot of trying & flashing & errors I´m done for today & will continue tomorrow
Good Night
I just gave the Kernel and Baseband another try (unchecked final verification) and that´s what happened:

In my opinion it looks ok but it still doesn´t boot
About above FOTA unbrick, i just wanna show you the similar problem on 2011 devices, it could be due to broken bootloader.
For us (2010 device), this could be happened due to improperly bootloader unlocking (see my post on Fera's discussion thread).
BUT, it still not 'dead' yet (i mean this just software related issue, not an hardware) , since S1Tool can to detected your .
BTW, have you tried to downgrade to 1.6 or 2.1 ?.

I'll try to down grade my device after work! I already tried the 2.1 version, I'll give the 1.6 later.
One thing I recognized was, that when I plug in the charger, there's no led on & I think it's not charging!
Talk to you later, peace & thanks!!!

D:\EXE\SDK\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x22CE7122472B1CF3
...
OKAY [ 3.793s]

I use the newest flashtool which is currently 0.9.23.2.
Every time I got this same errors:

I've tried:
flashtool with different firmwares - always with the very same result
Sony PC Companion - it desires an update and won't work unless it can get one, I was thinking that it it uses different server for updates and different for firmware downloading I can use that, not sure if worth the effort see EDIT
Xperia Companion - turns of my phone, asks for connecting in flash mode aaaaand never goes to the next step ("simulated battery remove trick" does not help either)
OTA - won't come in, I've tried a number of tricks including clearing data on Google Services Framework (or something) rebooting a phone having it turned off and so on
great number of factory resets
Should I through this worthless **** away or there is something else I can try?
EDIT:
When I tired to use Sony PC Companion (blocking internet access on startup) I was able to start the procedure but I got an error saying that Sony Update Engine could not be installed (and some error code here)
open up the flash tool and then click on the lighting in the top left corner then click flash and select your frimware to flash... wait for it to finish the make sure that your phone is not connected to PC and turned off,,, a pop up will come up that says you have to press volume down and hold it while you are connecting you usb to pc then it should flash it if not then i dont know whats your problem lol haha

Totally not helped. Thanks for making me believe for a second that someone has actually helped and this forum actually has some helpful people. Faith in humanity restored (for a split second).

And mysteriously enough I'm failing to follow those steps? This error is not totally uncommon and you could have given a number of suggestions what it is that I 'm doing wrong (releasing volume down to early, wrong firmware or perhaps trying stimulated battery removal) instead of that you've given all the steps that I must have known before (without them I couldn't be able to produce the log that is shown above).
If you consider your post a genuine attempt of helping I'd humbly advise you reconsidering what you consider help.
Although I do appreciate that you gave it a try anyway and I mean it.
