I know that you really doesnt want this advice...
Try bin4rys flashtool 'terminal' edition
I know by my own experience that with Gui it sometimes fails to discover the phone. I tried with terminal one, and i succeded.
Take it easy, read, think, read, think

Use PC Companion to repair your device.
Are you sure your phone is completely shut down when using flashtool? Coz back then, my phone kept on booting as long as the battery is inseeted. So I took the battery out, prepare the flashtool within one click to begin and wit sleight of hand I put on the battery, connect the usb and press the back button and voila, it detected my phone and start the flashing process

This should really help!
1. On the yellow triangle right click and select "Update Driver..."
2. Download "Non-Gui" version.
3. Put 1.6 firmware on "firmware" folder.
4. Open "X10flash.bat"
5. Write "2" and press enter.
6. Write "y" and press enter.
7. Select operating system, but DONT PRESS ENTER!
8. Now connect USB to computer, but not in phone.
9. Turn off phone.
10. On phone hold back key and connect phone with USB, but dont relase key.
11. On flasher press enter while holding back key.
12. Relase it when it says "Sending Loader..."
This should fix your problem. This is how I done it!

just tell me you have mini or mini pro.
as you said your phone blinks red led three times it indicates your battery is not charged dont worry even if you put it whole night it wont because i got similar problem.
i will give you instructions after you tell me which phone do you have mini or mini pro
Edit: Se my next post in your thread
First, you need charge your phone! But you need do this with charge adapter (Not USB cable + PC), later try to flash you phone with flasher or SEUS.
If you phone is no start or booted - pressed Home+back+Power - this rebooted tour device !

just forget every method, start seus when it asks you to connect phone
just connect your phone without pressing back key, phone will boot
now press home+back+power keys as kobzarcheg said
your phone will vibrate and turn off with green light LED on
release power and home key but not back key
your phone will be detected and seus will either download the updated firmware or repair your phone
If you still haven't fixed your phone yet..
1) You need to charge your phone with the wall charger (red light on phone generally means battery level low) you can't charge it from your computer it needs to be the wall charger.
2) If you have already tried the newer version of Flashtool and had no luck then try this one.. (it is the original one I still use because it never fails, all thanks to Bin4ry for this tool.. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing it if it help you out)
Flashtool2.1(non GUI)
3) download, unzip and copy the firmware .sin files into the Firmware folder in flashtool (should be 8 or 9 .sin files) make sure you download the right ones for your phone! (mini-E10 pro-U20) from here..
mini
mini pro
4) run the flashtool.bat file and follow on screen instructions.
When it asks you to connect phone in "Flashmode" I suggest pressing the power button and middle button for 3 sec (to re-boot your phone if its a mini or if its a pro then take the battery out and put it back in again) then hold down the back <-- button while you plug the usb cable into the phone.. it should detect the phone and start flashing.
If it doesn't work the first time unplug the phone and try again!
good luck

Yep, I have a mini so I know you can't remove the battery
I would leave the phone plugged into the charger for a few hours.. (even if you don't know if its charging)
with a mini, pressing the power button and the middle button at the same time and holding them down for 3-4 sec is like taking the battery out and putting it back in.. when Flashtool asks you to connect the phone then you just need to plug the phone in while holding down the back key (the phone should be off (or between reboots) for you to do this)
(also had you ever plugged the phone in and ran pc suite or SEUS before this problem.. I wonder if you have the drivers for your phone installed on your computer? if it had worked for PC suite or SEUS in the past it should be fine.

Hello dear xda users.
Today since 1-2 hours ago something terrible happened. My X10i .. keeps rebooting at the "Sony Ericsson" startup.
History:
I updated to 2.2 Beta 4, but I forgot to update the kernel so the phone kept rebooting, but not at startup, only after a couple of minutes.
I flashed to the required kernel, but decided to go back to Beta 3 instead, and the same problem occured here too, also that the wifi and mobile network were out of function.
And I remembered that I had made an backup of my original version with xRecovery, so I restored the phone and tried to switch back to Beta 3 and this is when the **** happened..
Am I screwed?
Stuffs Ive tried:
* Flash the version back (cannot enter flash mode anymore) = fail
* Tried to make a factory reset through PC Companion (cannot enter flash mode) = fail
I need help guys, this phone is only 2 weeks old. I just want to cry, dunno what to do
Bump! No one?
Also tried to pull out battery while the phone connected with usb, pressing back key and inserting key.
I have a thought, maybe its that my phone isnt being recognized by the computer due to problem with USB drivers. Does any1 know how I can manually install it?

HAHAH I WAS PRESSING THE DAMN BUTTOM IN THE MIDDLE FOR CHRIST SAKE! HAHAHAHAHAAH
You know when you get so, what should I say.. scared of not being able to solve it, you get blind!
IM SO FUUUUCKING GLAD SORRY FOR THE F WORD BUT YEEEEEEAAAA
Lol... But good that you can go on again....
sent from my 2.2 X10
Help me ppl ! I screwed up big time !!
I originally got X10 mini with Android 2.1 and relatively old firmware ...anyway I rooted my phone, took the backup and then Flashed a CWM Recovery on it !
Factory WIPED all the data for the new ROM ......
Then I was about to Flash this CM 7.1 ROM when all of a sudden it displayed the message that it wont work wihout the Latest Firmware .... so from there on I had no choice but to Restore my Backup and go back to a working OS, so I could easily proceed with Firmware update ...... but that never happened !!!
The Backup couldnt be recovered ...it failed for i dont know what reason ....ever since then the device never worked beyond the WHITE Sony Ericsson LOGO !!! Im stucked ..... even the CWM Recovery isnt working now !!
I'm stucked !! I've been looking for a solution for almost 3 days now .... but had no luck !!! dont know what to do from here on!! KINDLY HELP !! plzz plzz plzzz !! I desperately need to fix this !! the device even aint mine !!!
restore to stock by using sony ericsson update service
First, don't panic
And you have to notice and make this a lesson; if CWM said that your baseband is incompatible, it means, CWM is not flashing anything to your phone, yet.. So you only have to restart the phone, instead of recovering your CWM backup, and you'll be back to your default OS
Second, now find a tool named FlashTool, and also find a 2.1 stock firmware.. now proceed to flash with USB cable, you'll find the instruction together with the tool
Third, you'll be OK, trust me
first of all moedjs man !! Thx for sympathy n giving me courage !!
but could you kindly confirm that FlashTool would still work even If I'm unable to mount USB anywhere !! coz USB would charge phone but since I'm stuck on Sony Ericsson Logo and cant go beyond that point I'm unable to update my Firmware via PC Companion tool by Sony Ericsson tooo !!!
Thats the main reason I was panicking mate !! Kindly Kindly confirm that for me !! n I'm already liking your positive attitude ..so I do trust ya !! THX again !!
i don't understand why you can't use official seus? afaik it doesn't need anything beyond the se logo. power off phone, run seus on the pc, plug the cable while pressing the back key, etc; right?

Sir I've been through that .... for some reason it didnt work for me beyond "plug the cable while pressing the back key" STEP !! i dont know why !! i didnt have any effect watsoever, therefore I couldnt proceed with the 3rd STEP of Updating it ! =(
and is there anyway to Remove the battery !! coz once I use Home+Power Key combo it restarts device ...... is there any other combo to power off the phone, so I can atleast save battery !! anyway m also givin FLASHTOOL a try !!
can't power off? well, try these steps:
start seus on pc
connect phone and pc with usb cable
press both middle and right button at the same time and press the power button
when phone goes down keep pressing only the right button

I'm trying to be calm but stuff like that keeps happening to me !! Kindly guide me with that !! its still green I hold power button n yet its showing no sign of turning on ! =(((
do you see charging battery in your screen? have you waited enough to boot it again and try the steps above?
still, if you need to disconnect the battery, here is a disassembling guide: http://goo.gl/jDd6q

Wow thanks for that Dis-Assembling guide ..... !! I'll ultimately have to try this if everything else fails ....
well I never saw Battery charging on screen !! i think not even when it was working fine !!
I think i'll give it some more time with charging !! coz it just showed me that SE logo again .... but when I tried to restart it .... the screen didnt turn back on !!!
also when SE Logo appears it appears automatically ......dont have to turn on the device ... and then also green LED light turns off ..... Im not sure whether its still charging at that time or not !! I think NOT ! this is kinda dodgy ! what do you reckon ?
no led light, no charge, i think. have you tried triple keys way again? it's kind of tricky, do it carefully.
Yeah I did !! I pressed HOME+Back at the same time and then had to Hold the Home button to turn the screen off ! then I repeatedly kept pressing the BACK button!
actually from there on it started blinking that RED Led light again .... ! I think its still needs more charging .... but then again If it charges enough to power the screen on automatically ..... the Green LED disappears .... so M kinda stuck in the loop here !
Oh God Help me !!

i think flashtool needs a working system.
can you power off your phone or not? if able to do so, seus should work.
so, you have just one option if you can't start recovery: using seus.
and you've two options to start seus: the standart way, or the triple buttons way.
if you can enter recovery, you can try to wipe everything and flash a rom.
these are all i can say about it. hope you can solve it.

When charged enough there's no way to turn the device off ! I've tried both HOME+POWER & HOME+BACK then POWER (holding the back Key towards the end) button none of them actually works ! The Screen keeps powering back on, showing up that Sony Ericsson Logo !
Could it be USB Bricked or something ? (Apparently, since I cant access recovery I cant mount the device)
Try:
- turn off phone
- wait for 1 minute, phone still off
- connect to usb with flashtool
I have almost the same problem, my phone have been breaked several times but every time i had access to xrec or internet to solve problem.But this time when phone dischared for first time n I wanted to start it again I found that it's not gonna boot! Stuck on SE text logo... (I flashed CM7)
now it's charged ( although the screen was on, showing SE) n I have flasher n a rom.
but when i start to flash after showing "start Falshing" on screen (CMD) some seconds pass n CMD shows "write failed" n other things...
When i connect my phone to pc red LED shows itself for some seconds n after it disconnects itself while i'm pressing the back key...
And two questions:
1. Does it matter what the name of the ROM file -in firmware folder- is?...
2. I have to ftf files. on is about 108 MB n the other one 280 MB. Eachone can be a ROM?(I have tested Flasher with both of them.)
tnx
While updating a new Xperia U to ICS the PCC had an error while flashing the new firmware. Now the screen lights up, the sony logo is shown for ~3-5 seconds and then it reboots.
After that I have been unable to get it recognized again by either PCC/SUS or flash tool.
I also checked my log files in Linux and no device appears.
I've tried 3 different machines (2x Windows 8, 1x Win 7), multiple USB ports. Also leaving the battery out for ~30 mins didn't change the behavior.
The green light for download mode comes on, but after about 5 seconds the light goes out and it goes into the boot loop again.
So by now I believe the device needs to be sent in, but maybe some one has a few more things I can try.
Try pressing the volume down plus volume up plus power button all 3 simultaneously till u feel 3 vibrations

Can you make sure the Flashtool drivers are installed ? Go to Flashtool Directory, open drivers directory and start the setup.. Make sure to select the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers are also selected. Then, reboot System and folow this order.
Startt flashtool,select f/w, wait for Flashtool to tell you to connect to device. Then, holding the Volume down button (while phone is switched off), plug the cable into phone (The usb cable must already be connected to PC before starting the Flash Procedure )
The Order is very important.. I had same issue with U (althoguh mine crashed with Flashtool and same as what you observed. When I followed this order, I was able to get it detected and flashed )
Hopefully, you wont need to return to Service Center
let me know how it goes

No response, I've tried holding all three buttons for a minute, but it doesn't vibrate after turning on. The only way I can turn it off is by removing the battery.

I tried that right now, Flashmode and Fastboot drivers are installed. Flash tool is ready, device is plugged in with volume down pressed, green light comes on. Nothing is found on the PC, after about 5 seconds the green light turns off and the phone shows the sony logo. Green light also comes on if i simply plug in the usb without volume down pressed. So I'm thinking, the download mode has some how been corrupted?

Sorry about that, maybe a moderator can move my topic to the right section.
Are u connecting it properly???
Make sure when u connect ur cell to ur pc u have nt presed the power key
keep the phone off
Press the volume down button ( keep it pressed, dun
leave it) and connect it to the usb
U will see green light
Darn.. That looks bad.. That did it for me on every occasion. I think you might have a hardbrick due to the interrupted write cycle so I dont think any other way except to take it to Service Center
Sorry I couldnt help

Exactly what I'm doing and the green light does come on. Except it decides to go into a boot loop after it apperantly boots into download mode but doesn't stay there.

That's what I've been fearing. In which case it goes back to the seller in the hope that he will send me a new device.

While trying to enter flashmode, green light turns on but after some secs it turns off and sony logo appears on screen. any chance to recover this beautiful brick ?
thanks
After several tries (a lot of...) I manage to enter flashmode and SUS is now reinstalling sony ROM.
Honestly I don´t know how it works this time and not the others but i'm happy with it independently of what happens.
... seems flashtool is detecting ur phone try to flash first the stock kernel and do not wipe everything it shud be in timing though.. onces it is flash charge ur phone in kernel mode (phone is off) then you can flash the stock fw of ur XU.
I bricked my phone
I bricked my xperia U as well... When i tried to power ON, it just vibrates and nothing happens, i dont even get the sony logo. When i get into flash boot mode it gets connected but after 20secs, the phone turns off again. Only fastboot mode stays on. How can i unbrick my phone??? Plz help. I made a mistake by flashing the custom jelly bean rom without flashing the kernel first.

When i get into flash boot mode it gets connected but after 20secs, the phone turns off again. Only fastboot mode stays on. How can i unbrick my phone??? Plz help. I made a mistake by flashing the custom jelly bean rom without flashing the kernel first.

No worries. The phone turns off because it doesn't receive any signal from the PC - many people make the mistake of connecting the device in flashmode first, and then they start the flashtool etc.
Instead, load the flashtool first, go to flashmode, select a complete/full stock ftf for your phone (whichever version you want, but do double check if the ftf has kernel.sin file in it) and press the flash button. Only once you get the pop up with the animation telling you to connect the phone in flash mode, connect the phone in flashmode (volume - button pressed when connecting cable). As soon as you connect the phone, the flashtool will start its magic and your phone won't turn off.
if you can go in cwm wipe system then you will only be stuck on sony logo then use this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPPWRXcsz7g.....it will work because this same happened to me and i fixed it with this method!

using xperia u
locked bootloader
jb experience v2.1 rom
Hello guys.This is my problem with Xperia P.I tried to update CWM from 6.0.1.2 to 6.0.3.0 in hope that I will get rid of that status error 7 when trying to install CM 11.Ok so what I did:i downloaded an update for CWM in zip format,i transferred the zip files to my xperia p internal storage then disconnected the phone from pc,then I booted the phone In CWM and from there I tried to update CWM by selectin install from zip sd card the zip archive.It said It was succesfull then asked for reboot and that was.After that the phone gone dead,no response from it even when I tried to power it on or to reset it by key combinations nothing worked.Even when I plugged it on charger nothing or in my pc usb.So when this happened my phone was rooted/unlocked bootloader and running latest JB build 6.1.2.A.100.So what I tried so far:i plugged it in wall charger for 6+ hours in hope I will get a life sign from it and nothing.Then I tried to disconnect its battery,i know its non removable but it has a cord attached that can be detached and I did it for about 5 mins.After that I reconnect the battery and plugged it in.Well I got a solid red led on it and I thought oh well it seems it worked but after exactly 15mins the red led goes out and nothing happens after it.At the moment I am writing this the phone already is dead by 24 hrs+.And yea I tried to connect it in flash mode for flashtool but not a sign at all.My pc doesn't detects it.So is there any hope left for my phone?If so please give more solutions.Oh and another thing it seems that after the red light goes off after 15 mins and I unplug it from charger and reconnect it the red led comes again and the process can be repeated.So should I try this way to charge it until it has enough power to do some responses?

if ur bootloader wasn't unlocked use SUS or sony pc suite to recover ur pc .... nd correct title , this isnt hard brick , i think u flashed a kernel from a different device ... if bootloader was unlocked then flash stock ftf using flashtool.. and flashtool works only in windows 7 and below ... making it work in windows 8 is tedious turn off ur phone and then hold volume down button then connect usb cable if green led lights ,that is flashmode

I am running Windows 7 and the bootloader is unlocked.Also I cant use flashtool or any software from pc because the phone it doesn't get detected.But if I plugged it on pc USB it does give a red light for exactly 14 mins then the red led goes off.Also any key pressing or key combinations doesn't help as I don't get any response from phone.So I am really sure its hard brick.Only sign from it is the red led that goes off after 14 mins.
So anymore ideas?Does my phone was hard resetted after I detached the battery for 5 mins and then reattached it?Because before this I didn't got the red led.And also should I try to recharge my phone by pluggin in it in charger wait 14 mins till red led gets off then repeat this process?

And how I am supposed to turn phone off when I get no sign from it when I am pressing volume or power keys.The only sign I get is the red led that after 14 mins goes off.Yea I flashed/updated a wrong CWM for my phone.And how that could screw my phone that bad I don't have any idea.
Just remove the battery chord from the battery (not the charger chord). This means, your phone is in turn off mode. Then reconnect it. Then try those flashmode combinations.
And for any further status 7 issues refer to my guide. Link is in my signature

when red led isnt lit up and ur phone isnt connected to either charger or pc then it means its off ..... then hold only volume down button (u won't get any response right now) then attach usb cable while holding volume down ... green led will definitely light up and then flash stock ftf

Well I removed the bat cord couple of times then reconnect it and tried flasmode comb but the pc still doesn't detects my phone.Only red led I get that goes off after 14 mins.
Bro, then this may be a hard brick. Try some hardbrick procedures. Or take your device to some local shops. They have a flashing device, which flashes stock firmware. Service centres will cost u very much.

its not hard brick ... in hard brick you don't even get to see the red led ..... this is a basic soft brick because he flashed incompatible kernel which failed bootloader test and hence he is getting this red led .... hard brick = phone becomes paperweight with no led or anything working ....... even charging which does in his case ....... he is just unable to turn on flashmode , (typical case with new users), even i also flashed wrong kernel on my xgo (u cannot even remove battery in that) , i just waited for red led to shut down then holding volume down and then plugging in usb i was able to get flashmode

first remove battery cable for 3-5 mins then reconnect it ...... don't touch the power button ... hold the volume button down.. while holding it down insert usb cable .... (give it 2-6 seconds and DONT LEAVE THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON )the led should now turn on and glow green (flashmode enabled , u shud know the rest i think) don't check if pc detecting or not just check LED green or not first

I don't have anymore warranty left.So I think they will charge me for this.Maybe if I will let the phone more time in charger or with the bat cord detached/unplugged from charger/pc and after that trying again?

if you can try using those "butterfly chargers" , the ones which directly charge battery..... then try this approach cuz flashmode needs 30% battery minimum to run , 75% is recommended

Dont wats gng on..dont have idea i always used to play wid my phn..but nw its playing wid me..plzzzz give me any solution guys..
thnx in advance..
It shows a red light, eh? Try this - take the phone and take its battery out. If the battery is undetachable do a hard reset - volup + power for up to five seconds. Then without pressing any other buttons it plug it to a charger. Now wait for the charging logo to come up. If it doesnt check your charger or the phones battery/usb slot. If it does show the logo , wait for it to fully charge till the led is green or something, and without detaching it from power try to go to recovery mode. If your phone doesnt have a custom recovery connect it to a pc and use sony updater service it will update it to StockJB
Try that, and see if it works. Also, if you failed, describe which step failed and what did the phone display...

i think problem is your battery....
just try with another battery...
or firstly charge your battery full...
then then try flashing...
OR else flash stock ftf using flashtool....

Well in that case, I believe the phone might have its firmware missing, including the boot.img. My best guess is going to a sony service center and having them instal stock rom if they can. Or you can try it yourself with SUS\flashtool but i doubt youll get it into flashmode.
