Hi guys,
I have a problem with my x10 mini pro. There are some similar posts here but nobody exactly describe what is happening to me. So my problem:
One day i have been in subway, phone working properly everything fine. THan suddenly 3G icon has disappear and wouldnt go back. So i decided to restart the device. But since i turned it off, i cannot turn it back on again...
I have tried to take out the simcard, take out mempory card, multiple time reflash by SEUS but still cannot turn it on.
I cna charge the phone with no problem, i can flash it with no problem, but i cannot use it at all.
When i press power button, phone shortly vibrate as he is turning on, than display get a bit brighter (not white, just lights up its easy to notice from profile). and than after few seconds get black again. And like this it continue until it drains battery, only without vibrating. every cca 5 seconds display light up and than get black again. So i guess its rebooting all the time. I have tried all tricks like pressing power+home button, still nothing.
I think i just need really wipe out the whole phone and flash it again. Is it possible somehow? I feel like reflashing by SEUS is not real hardcore flash, is there anything stronger i can try?
I am willing to try anything if anybody has an idea, since its not working anyway so i dont care what i try.
Thanks for advices !
try binary's flash tool, it helps every out. use it in the same way you would SEUS

I try this already... Still the same
Try to flash 1.6 back.
I had the same problem, didnt ever find a way to fix it so had it replaced under warrenty. may be your only way on this problem im afraid.
I tried 1.6 - didnt work
Problem is that i have no warranty.... I just gave it to my friend who is going to singapore, she knows some official SE shop, so maybe i will get it fixed, but im not sure if it wont be for the same money as new phone...
Well the phone is under a year old so it will be covererd under se warranty unless they think you broke there warranty in any way. I would flash it back to your original FW before having it looked at and wipe your sd card.
I bought it in chinese market (Its not a copy) without any receipt or anything, I dont think so they will took it as a warranty. I have done all of this. Flashed to my original FW, wiped everything, nothing works...
did u try SEUS ?
is your phone getting detected via SEUS in flash mode ? what happens when :
1. Take off the battery for 30 secs
2. connect the phone to usb
3. Power on the phone with back button pressed.
if SEUS detects u should be able to flash it. The flash tool also should be working.
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!

kinda same problem..
i'm removing battery, put back and after holding power the phone shows green led for short time and vibrates for a sec and that's.
add:
i've flashed it before the problem occurs.. flashed, phone booted up, everything normal.. put on usb for charging, changed language and time when it suddenly freezed
This is what happened to mine what country u in
sent with a geordie kiss using wb 2.3.3
what do you mean with "country"?

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

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
So, sort of long story, i'll cut it short
-Got an old X10, had stock 2.3.3
-Rooted it
-Did not unlock bootloader, got kinda scared.
-Tried to install FeraLab custom ROM, it failed probably because of sdcard permissions; i accidentally wipe /system /data /cache
-stuck at first Sony Ericsson screen
-Somehow managed to flash a 2.1 stock rom with flashtool, after an hour of different combinations of enterring flash mode and pulling the battery
-Tried to install FeraLab again, this time it went through
-After install, rebooted, phone shut down during boot up process
-Will not turn on at all. Even when plugged into a PC, wall, not plugged in, pulling battery, etc.
I think what happened is that FeraLab needed a newer baseband than the 2.1 stock rom had. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this sucker to even turn on? Not a single LED is on when plugged in, giving me the impression that it's not charging.
If the battery has drained out, it might take some time before it kicks in and indicates that it is charging.
If the ROM has failed somehow, it might not show that it is charging at all, but might be charging.
Either way: Let it charge "blindly" for a while, and see what happens.
Once it does boot up to some level or shows life-signs, let it charge fully before you'l attempt a ROM flash.
The flash/recovery mode needs a full battery, and reason is that the external power isn't used even when connected while in flash/recovery mode.
If you happen to be in bad luck, and the ROM failed as a result of a drained battery, you might have to charge the battery externally. Use an external battery charger made for 3.6 volts Lithium Polymer batteries, and make sure to align the + and - terminals properly.
I can recommend the multicharger from Powerbase, called C-734U:
http://www.powerbasehk.com/product.php?id=148
Using it myself to charge the X10 battery, as well as other batteries from other devices I have.
EDIT:
(For some reason, powerbase has taken back that it'll charge Lipo batteries, but when I bought mine, it was described as a li-ion, li-poly and Ni-MH charger, and it't ability to charge li-poly batteries was the very one reason to why I bought it.
I suspect PowerBase does not want to take responsibility if anything happens to the li-poly-batteries, as they are known to be more dangerous than other types.)
I've left it on the wall charger all night, no response or anything. Luckily, I bought a new battery a few days ago, so when that comes in, hopefully it will be charged enough for this thing to boot.

Yeah, i'm not sure what he expected. But, good news! Now for some reason my phone started blinking red whenever I tried to turn it on! I guess the battery completely ran out or something. It also blinks every now and then when plugged in, so I guess it's charging. The previous owner of this phone said that it had some battery problems, so that's why I ordered that new battery. I'll let it charge for awhile and let you guys know what happens.
Okay, after getting my new battery, the phone will still not turn on. I think i've figured out two behaviors:
1. If the battery is nearly completely out of charge, it will flash a red light
2. If the battery has charge, it will not do anything at all.
Anyone know how to fix this?
While trying to turn on the phone, after long-press power button, do you get a flash from status led & short vibration?

No vibration, the red LED flashes three times, and that is , as I said before, what happens when the battery seems to not have any charge. If I have a charged battery it does absolutely nothing.
Have you removed sim & sd card and tried. I know it sounds dumb but when I flashed a bad kernel I had to try to connect flash mode like 10 times. Finally I left the phone unplugged from pc, started flashtool and started flashing. I only put battery in phone just before holding back key. I never connected USB until tool said to dis-connect phone and connect in flashmode.
i wish you luck, I know how I felt when it went wrong

Try to flash any latest kernel via flashtool . Go for doomkernel . I think its software issue . Try this first .
Almost same here please help..
Last night battery ran out of charge & phone switched off.. then i plugged the charger it doesn't charge.. after some time i tried turning on.. Vibrates with the green LED but nothing happens then..
Note: This is not the 1st time i'm letting my phone drain, but facing this problem for the 1st time..
Rom : Spikelabs GB Gaming rom
Kernel : Ferakernel v23 beta6
I tried another battery, charger, data cable.. Tried flashing stock & spikelabs kernel., but of no use..
Any help is greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance.. :good:
Something like that happened to me not long ago!
I was trying to flash some ROMs and I messed up then my phone wouldn't turn on!
But Miracously, I could flash a Stock 2.3.3 which fixed the problem!
At first, I used Sony PC Companion, which helped a lot- and after I screwed it for the second time, I used FlashTool-
I don't know if this was helpful, but I hope your x10 will be fixed soon!
yeah try the PC Companion first, it helped me too a couple of weeks ago
No luck...
Hi friends..
Tried to repair using PC companion, but was able to connect only in flash mode, unable to proceed software update..
I previously tried flashing stock GB using flashtool thrice. Still couldn't switch on the phone.. What else may i try..
Thanks friends..

Went to 3 service shops at - Ritchie street, Chennai. They simply said harware issue (Short in board) and gave back the phone.
Now given at a better service centre. Will get back on monday it seems. Will update the status friends..
Thanks..
Here also they said the same reason friends.. Short in board..
Is there any way i could recover the phone???
Hey guys i've a problem with my x10
So one night i was playing with it than the other day the phone would start
so i thought yeah right might be the battery or something. i took it to my friends x10 it was with 87% charged so i exclude this
Than i tried to flash with flashtool a new kernel and i get stuck at 9% or 15% depending on the kernel i use.
With SEUS it starts to repair but it says. No new updates avaiable after a few moments.
Some information regarding my phone
Unlocked Bootloader
FXP KERNEL
MM TEAM MIUI V4
The phone vibrate but doesn't start or load the kernel.
What do i do?!
Srry for my bad english
Thx in advance
Usrle flashtool to reflash kernel or firmware.
already did but i get stuck at 9% or 15% flashing the kernel
I'm downloading a full generic rom x10a
having similar problem
Hi, I had similar problem as well
X10i running FXP CM7 suddenly just wont boot n charge after I turn off the phone
it wont boot after flashing anything (firm or kernel) except the official firm
now that I end up with a cap R bootloader but flashtool claim that bootloader is rooted
do I still keep the bootloader unlock?
i guess you have a locked bootloader since the original firmware is loading just fine even tho rooting has nothing to do with the bootloader it self. i'm only guessing.
I'm stuck at. Flashing Loader
I bricked my phone last week and it got stuck in a boot loop.
I downloaded the x10a generic Stock ROM and flashed it via Flashtool and it worked like a charm.
Hope this helps.

But that way you weren't at a brick point.
You get brick when u get those 3 blink red LED and the phone doesn't do anything
By the fact that your phone were able to load the kernel. i guess
same problem repeat
Hi, just confirm that the bootloader remain unlock as long as the flashtool claim its ROOTED
had you try other than official 2.3.3 ftf?
because I just got the same unable to boot problem repeated again
this time cant get boot on even stock 2.3.3 firm
but I was able to boot up and charge on 2.1, then get root, recovery and kernel (w/o unlock bootloader again) and go straight to custom ROM with no problem

guys?
you said your phone is "bricked"
I'm not sure if you know what that means.
If you say you've bricked your phone then no one can help you.
A brick is a brick. It doesn't matter if it weighs a few kgs or a few hundred grams. A brick can't receive phone calls.
And your phone isn't even a normal brick... You wrote that it's "really bricked"
Are you building a house anytime soon?

The red led blinking rapidly three times means the battery is "out of juice".
I've said it earlier: Several X10 devices have reached an age, where battery failures are fairly common due to charge cycles and/or age. Specially if one got it just after the launch.
Anyhow, what you can do, is let the device charge "blindly" for a while, and a while I mean for half an hour to a few hours. Then it should, out of the blue, jump into "active" charging (With the battery screen showing offline charging)
If this doesn't happen you might have to charge the battery externally.
...or even replace the battery.
-"Why?", one might ask.
Reason is that the flash mode only works with a charged battery.
If it empty, it won't engage the flash mode at all. Stupid design, yes, but that is how it is.
Worst thing is, that the battery does deplete/discharge while in flashing mode. That is why it's so important it's fully charged and fully working, before one engages in flashing activities.

Well, if the battery issue was fixed, and you're sure the battery is fully charged, then try this: (Quoting from my other post)
I've charged/replaced the battery, and are having trouble with starting up. Earlier flash failed. Now what?
Don't worry. It's pretty darn hard to truly brick this device. Even if the screen remains black, there's still hope.
Once that the battery issue has been dealt with, you can move on:
Download the latest Flashtool and the proper global firmware (FTF-file) for your device from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ight=flashtool
1: Extract/Install the Flashtool to a folder of your liking.
2: Copy the ftf-file to the "firmware" folder in the Flashtool folder you just created above.
3: Start Flashtool. Click the Bolt icon (flash). A Window appear. There, choose "flashmode". Cllick OK.
4: A new window appears. In the list on the left, choose the Generic firmware you downloaded and copied into the "firmware" folder. Should have a similar name as the file itself. (Or manually open the ftf-file from the "..." icon on the top right.)
5: Hit "OK. Follow the instructions you get on the screen:
1 - Unplug the device.
2 - Power off the device. (Unplug and replug the battery to be sure it really off, and not stuck in black screen)
3 - Press the "back" putton, and hold it down while performing the next task.
4 - Plug the device into the computers USB.

Hi @almomdegal,
if you try flash using another full charge batt n its not work, I think this forum is no longer works for u anymore.
I own a faulty X10 as well, random shut down (no warning at all) then wont boot n charge
reflash it, revive for few days and dead again, and reflash....
now it is really dead, no problem appears and it show flash successful and it just wont boot or charge but vibrate non stop
I just send the phone to service center and the board need to be replace
so its time to send to the real professional to solve it, coz this problem ain't software downloaded from internet can solve anymore

Hi, sorry for my bad english !
Something weird just happened !
I installed this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704387 and was trying it. As I often do with many others.
Then I pressed the back button, and my phone didn't stop vibrating and froze. So I unpluged the battery cable, and the battery itself so I could shut it down. The phone was getting hot so I did this quite quickly.
Now I just can't turn it on. Nothing happens. I just have a battery icon when I plug the battery cable. But it doens't seem to be able to load the battery amout, and it shut it down by itself.
I mean that you can see it trying to load the battery, fail, and try again.
What is happening ? Is my phone bricked just because of this ? For no real reason ? Maybe it's due to a bad kernel ?
Thanks in advance for your help !
So have you attempted to put phone into download mode or not??
Attempted to re-flash kernel??
Have you read other threads regarding phones not booting??

Ow, quick news. I waited 30 minutes.
Now when I pluged it again, it finally was able to load the battery state.
I can boot...
This MIUI version freaks me out !! I won't try to boot on it ever again ...
What caused this bug ? I seriously think I was loosing my phone ... I'm on DorimanX Kernel.
I'll flash something quickly, not to lose it again.
