Hi I was wandering if any of you good chaps might be able to help me at all please? I flashed my x10 mini to generic world without a problem, received the update no problem, but now when i connect my phone to the computer it shuts down and restarts constantly and says no sim??? i cannot use pc companion because of this i have uninstalled and reinstalled pcc and repaired phone but to no avail, any advice please.
many thanks in advance.
P.S it now turns out i can't even charge from the mains as it also freezes my phone, i have emailed S.E but with no answer.
Hey guys,
I have been looking evryone for this problem and cant find the solution, hell i even asked my Provider but they couldnt help me either.
In a nutshell my X10i (Android 1.6 Vodafone) Wont recognize my PC (windows Vista latest, 32 Bit).
I plug in the USB cable and it wont show a usb connected in the notification bar, however the notification light turns green.
When i try to connect my device to PC Companion it wont register the phone or locate its there.
I even tried to update the phone using SEUS but it wouldnt recognise it whilst in the "hold back" menu.
I have already tried these but they havent solved the problem;
-uninstall SEUS and PC Companion
-Reinstall SEUS and PC Companion
-change USB ports
-Change USB cable
-Checked and Unchecked USB Debugging
-change computer (still no help)
-I cant find anything in device manager
The problem seemed to have arisen when i reflashed the phone, using SEUS Repair, because i had forgotten the patern lock.
I really want to flash Official 2.1 or the AOSP rom!!!
Any solutions?
Thanks in Advance
EDIT: Everything else works fine in the phone

Ok i will try it later today, if not then tomorrow.
Because i have backed up my data using the backup and restore feature, will i be able to fully restore it after its wiped?

Hey guys, in need of urgent help.
Last night i went and installed xrecovery onto my x10. This was to allow me getting free x10 2.2.1 which i did, and i got the hotfix's and they also where fine
But heres the problem...
Didnt know if Darkys Gingerbread 2.3.1 would work for me, but i thought it would b as simple as just reinstalling/unzip the freex10 2.2.1 via xrecovery if my phone wouldnt boot. I was wrong!!!
My phones current state is sitting at the main Sony Ericsson Logo on start up. I have tried to put the phone into safe mode. Connected to the PC and no light appears. The PC sees there is a phone connected but the SD card is not seen. i have a dongle which my SD card plugs into, but i just need help...
Question - What can i do to resolve this stupidity and get my phone working properly again?
Cheers,
Jonny
I havent installed what you have but i have that happen to me before where it just hangs on the se logo
was very frustrating
all i done was use se update service software to basically reinstall the se 2.1
version...
so if everything else failed, give that a shot. it worked for me

Sorry, i should have said that my PC sees the phone but i cant connect to the pc because i need to use the notification bar/connect USB...which i can't get to.. am i doing something wrong?
make sure you download Sony Ericson Update Service for your pc
to connect to that, you should switch your phone off, then hold in the back button while you plug the usb into ur phone...
the software shows you how to do this.
My phone didn't go past the se logo, and didnt want to connect either... but it connected to the update service which let me reinstall the original 2.1
This worked thanks a bunch!!
As per my understanding, we cannot brick the phone till the boot loader is cracked. You mess anything with the phone when flashing or when using xRecovery incorrectly, all you need to do is connect the phone in flash mode to your PC and update using Sony Ericsson Update Service or PC Companion and you will get the stock SE Rom back, and you will be ready to mess it up again
Hi
I have a very annoying problem:
My phone no longer registers when I plugin the usb-cable. It doesn't ask whether to go into usb-mode nor does it display that usb debugging is on. It is only possible to charge it and not to sync data.
Therefore I'd like to flash it back to a stock rom so I can get it repaired under the warranty. And since SEUS can't find my phone when it is connected, I need to find another way to do so.
So is it possible?
have u tried flashtool yet?
its under the development section

nopp charging and data goes in different cables.

Have you first tried the following :-
1) Different usb ports some laptops and desktops have front/side usb ports so try a rear one
2) Different usb cable (if its the charge/usb cable that came with the phone it could be damaged or the wires bent/cracked due to over use plugging into charge and then using it as a data cable
3) Different PC just incase something is wrong with your own (corrupt driver etc)
I would try these things before you start if it will connect but only charge I'm guessing that the cable is maby broken
you could also try staring the X10i in safe mode power off power on and soon as it vibrates hold the down part of the volume button and keep holding this down until the phone boots up
This will give you a pretty basic mode (safe mode) with stock applications running no market downloads etc and then try connecting your usb cable up see if it works then ... you could have a rogue application that uses the usb for sync function like a media player etc!?
Wow, rude much. I was offering a solution that worked for me when I was having an identical issue. Because I was able to charge, flash mode still worked. Also, as stated above, changing USB ports can help. No need to get snarky

JimmyX10 is right, however..
The phone is ONLY able to charge over USB.. No flashing capabilities so far..
I've tried SEUS and the flashtool..
I've also tried:
3 different USB cables (also tested okay on my Optimus X2)
3 different computers
And a bunch of different USB ports..
BUMP
Does anyone have any good ideas?
Yes you can flash your rom without PC....
1-hope ur fone is rooted
2-xRecovery installed
3-Search dev section for stock rom xRecovery installation or request to upload the same for U..
4-transfer the xrecovery .zip file to ur card by card reader.
5-flash it through xRecovery...
I believe it will solve ur prob....
Try this guide:

i think theres no problem as long as you got your phone rooted and have the stock rom stored in your computer. then you can transfer the rom to your phone via an sd card reader. lastly install it using xrecovery. problem solved
Long story short - was running WB v3.9.0 Gingerbread on my x10, worked flawlessly... until my usb cable stopped working. Went out and bought a new one... Charged phone for 2 hours fine, tried to plug into PC to update to WB v4.0... PC didn't recognize my phone...
Tried downloading new drivers etc.. nothing worked. So i rebooted phone:
Surprise Surprise! SD Card is unmountable!
rebooted into xrecovery and did a factory reset/wipe of everything.
then tried to restore my backed up rom.... SD card unavailable...
Tried to manually mount sdcard, didn't work
Tried formating SD card - no luck there!
Now i'm stuck with NO ROM, no way to plug my phone into my computer to download a ROM, a constant bootloop with no firmware and a crappy replacement nokia...
Any help would be MUCH appreciated! (other than taking it in to repair) I don't know if my warranty will cover this much destruction...
EDIT: called up my service provider (3 australia) and they immediately agreed (to my utter delight and complete surprise) to swap my handset for a brand new HTC Desire HD...
It's a shame i'm now leaving the x10 forums - i really did love the phone, but for an offer like this i don't think many people would refuse the trade.
Thanks everyone for your help and input and see you (or not) on the Desire HD forums
Looks grim... you might be out of luck...

especially the nokia replacement eh?
What version of xrecovery are you using?? Is the latest one which is gingerbread fix? The version that is not fix for gingerbread have that problem with mounting sd card. So try the latest from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571&highlight=xrecovery
Another question: did you try with flash tool? maybe in flash mode your phone will be recognized.
try to put your SD card into a card reader and copy the existing data to your computer.
then format the SD card with Panasonic SD Formatter - I can't include the URL as I'm a new member. Just google it.
After formatting the SD card, put all data you copied to your PC back on the SD card and try again.
Maybe it works, I had a similar problem and could fix it as detailed.
if not...phew...good question...
can you get in flash mode? well if you can then reflash using SEUS
and search for drivers in forums.
did u try the flashtool to flash it bak to 2.1 SE rom ? i faced the same problems like u b4..
if u stil can access into xrecovery , u can try this

It connects in flash mode, but my computer doesn't read the usb connection in order to flash... neither does any other computer :S
actually i still don understand wat u mean by pc cant read the connection... when u start to flash ur phone bak to 2.1 SE generic rom, ur phone should be having a green light led right ? is the flashmode aborted at the half way bak or totally there is no connection at all?
sorry for asking so much, bcoz i faced this problem b4..i would like to help u too...
Hey, I also had same problem with my sd card. I couldn't mount it via xrecovery also The solution is very very simple You just have to buy a sd card reader. It coasts less than 1 euro. You will have to format your sd card, then copy someones zip with ROM and your phone is repaired
I'm stuck in the same boat. When I lug my phone in it says " USB Device not recognized." In device manager on my computer it says, "The USB device attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesnt recognize it."
the phone goes into flash mode but the phone is not recognized in flashtool!

So then try seus repair
SEUS wont recognize the phone!!
u might want to try the phone on a differrent cpu /laptop and run flashtool again.
Some cpus just dont want to detect. I have a few cpus i know,i do all the stuff on my win7 laptop cos its the one that does not give me any problem. one thing the laptop is original win7 64bit,the rest of the cpu is pirated xp,maybe thats why.
try it .
tried it on 2 different PCs, same frikkin error!
Have you downloaded the latest USB drivers and latest sues. My phone could not be found till I did that.

My problem is getting the computer to even recognize that the phone is plugged in. It's not even giving me a message saying 'device not recognize', it's totally ignoring it. Therefore i can't use SEUS to reflash the phone as when i plug in my phone in flashmode it doesn't read it.
As for formatting my sd card - that's not the problem... i have 2 sd cards (one brand new that i bought as a spare) and i tried both and neither of them worked - something seems to have happened to the actual hardware of the phone
I'm taking it in to repair tomorrow - this is the second x10 that's done this... maybe it's my computer?

Also - i can't find a link to the drivers on the forums anywhere - but i honestly doubt that's the problem - the phone was working 100% yesterday.
This may be out of the box but have you tried looking at the USBSTOR in your registry?
I had a problem before that my phone is not being detected by my laptop because of that. Just set it to 3 to enable it.
are u sure the cable you bought is a data cable not a charging only cable? Maybe the cable had a defect? also if the cable that went bad is the stock one see if the tip if bent. if the tip is bent try to make it straight.
