Reconnect the phone to SEUS and run " repair " option, should reflash the phone.
Try taking the battery out first and let the phone set a bit, reinstall batt and see if she boots up, remember, 1st boot takes a few minutes after you flash new firm ware.....
Best regards,
Chris
I took the battery out long time ago.havent tried yet.One more wuestion.is there a recovery built in?or a factory reset?and how to fo this if i neef to.
Thanks a lot

Depends on where and how you upgraded to new firmware, if it was thru seus / pc companion, then you just have factory firmware, no recovery.
If you used the flash tool from XDA and picked the firmware on that page, and installed xrecovery, then yes you have it. Clear as mud, sorry.
IF you have to run the seus pc companion to " repair " the phone, you will have only factory sony firmware. You can search for the firm ware # and flash tool , instructions, root methods, xrecovery, all are on xda!
Hope this helps,
Chris
As i said i used the phone menu for this update.No seus,no pc companion,just update through the phone menu and wireless network.
i downloaded seus and and it sais:
Failed checking application versions, please reinstall the application and make sure you have the latest version
what is this now?
Any link for the right one?
Thanks again
try the repair option on seus, comes up when u first connect the phone to pc companion,

My x10 its on 2.1 ofc
It keep restarting for no reason, i tried to hard reset it but no chance.
Then i tried another Sim card and memory card but still no chance.
Then i tried the repair in sony companion, it said no repair for this version.
It keeps closing/restarting when charging, running apps, texting, downloading.
Thanks for replying and helping!
SEUS always has an option to reinstall the 2.1 FW..are you sure you haven't overlooked it.
or you can try using the flash tool to update one of the FWs availabled in the dev section..
Already tried to reinstall with SEUS but not working and pretty sure i havent overlooked it.
Thanks for helping though
Do you have xrecovery installed? If so you can try flashing a new generic ROM. There are a list of custom and generic roms on "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987795". I hope this helps.
If nothing else attempt installing a basebrand AND a firmware that you know are compatible with one another via the latest flashtool.
I will try what u guys said, i will be back with the result ! ty
Just flash the newest generic 2.1 firmware via flashtool
i think its the .435 - that's baseband 54
im on bb 54 too, but i use wolf's cm 2.2
cheers

There is a repair button on SEUS which will reflash the device... I'm pretty sure it appears when it says that there is phone is updated, or there is no update (sorry, don't remember exactly, last time I used SEUS was a good 3 or 4 months ago...
Anyways, I think your best bet would be flashtool...

Its pretty hard to flash it or repair it when.. i connected it to my computer it keeps restarting.
Anyone got some suggestion?
you did switch off your phone before connecting it to the comp right? Just make sure you hold the back key while connecting the phone when the flash tool or seus prompts you.
I did switch it off b4 connecting and hold back key but still didn't work out.
The fact is.. it keeps restarting anytime.After the back key, it might open out and end up closing after a few seconds. :S
Oops, you kight have chosen to keep your user data whilst upgrading from 1.6 to 2.1, which resulted to all these issues. I would imagine that it would almost be impossible to boot into flash mode when your phone is always rebooting.
Ok.
1. Take your battery out.
2. Hold the back button. Make SEUS running and ready.
3. Plug it into the computer.
4. Put your bateery back in.
Follow the instructions. Hopefully it would work and good luck
If it worked dont forget to hit thanks.

if your device keeps rebooting all the time,maybe there's some probs with your cpu.
my cell phone is stuck at the SE logo.i was doing some "experiments" on xrecovery when i choose some option(dont remember i think it was format system). i cant connect it to SEUS or flash tool or pc companion.
note: when i connect it to the charger the cell turns on but it is stuck on the SE logo.when i connect it on the pc it doesnt do anything!! any ideas?????
You messed up big time. Why would you format the system without an image to replace it with?!?! The files for recovery are in the system as well and you totally erased everything. I don't know what you could do now if you can't get in flash mode. There is a warning about that option in the thread so why would you think it was a good "experiment" to format your system? I mean 'Format System' is pretty self explanatory. I think you are SOL, try and hit up Z and see what he says.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
Did you use system wipe? If so your probably going to need to repair with Seus and start over. I don't remember a format system option but system wipe I do. I could be wrong though and I'm too lazy to reboot to xrecovery to check. I do believe you should be able to access flashmode even if you did wipe and leave it that way.
Sent from my X10i TripNMiUI using XDA App
There is a 'format system' option. I believe its under advanced or one of the other submenus. A 'Full Wipe (factory reset)' you can restore. Formatting the system removes the system folder where recovery files are stored and formats everything. There is an explicit warning in the thread not to use that option.

OK I stand corrected. I do believe however that if the Sony Ericsson screen shows the bootloader is still active and you should be able to use flashtool to fix it.
Sent from my X10i TripNMiUI using XDA App
take the battery out, and start the flasher, point to the firmware you want to flash
insert batery, hold <- (BACK) KEY ans plug the usb
should be flashing because your boot is ok
you should flash with an official rom 2.1 (my advise) because contains baseband and all files necessary to a good boot
reflash your BB firmware. Try to use the same one as you originally had or as close as possible. There are plenty of guides here on how to do it.
Hi have ran into the same issue a while ago.
I have been playing & swapping ROM on my HTC Desire for more than 6 months, so I decided to play my Xperia 10i.
The problem I had was I was changing Cyanogen to MIUI and I was in Xrecovery, doing full wipe, system format and I accidently do a reboot. And it as what stuck as SE Logo screen.
I am trying now to flash using FTF, and SEUS.
I will post it later when I have any progress.
UPDATES:
SEUS said that my phone software is up to date. However, I am doing a force update again. Looks good, the software is currently downloading.....
UPDATES:
Managed to salvage and unbrick my Xperia using SEUS back to 2.1.
Now redo the Busybox and Xrecovery again.

That process is quite quick, just use flashtool to install those files.
Next time make sure you read the flashing instructions clearly before flashing a custom rom to prevent troubles.
And DON'T use the format system function in xRecovery as you would screw everything up.

i experienced the same problem. I got flash tool and i used it to flash my x10i.
i unchecked the "wipe user data" option and then flashed with the generic firmware (because that is what i was using). i have all my old apps on it after the flash
My x10i is now back to normal..
can't identify my x10 with flash tool
hii there..i just bought my x10 and stupidly formatted system!! im trying to use flash tool..but how can it recognize my phone as it still stuck on SE logo?!!
pls....help
and how can i flash a ROM using it
Keep calm, you CAN fix it with PC Companion, just open PC Companion, click on firmware update (or something like that) its going to tell you that there isn't a phone connected then click on repair phone (or something like that, it appears like a blue hyperlink) and follow the instructions.
You need to have at least 50% battery before attempting this.
I have screwed my phone and fixed it twice xD
Next time make a Backup with xrecovery it will save you more than once :O

2. PC companion: Tried all the tricks to start w/o connecting n all still the phone is not detected.
3. Flashtool, tried flashing it with 0.6.8 and 0.2.9.1
4. I have also used other tools like superclick, root / unroot and S1 tool (no of them worked)
Now, nothing is working with few red blinks and gree light..

FIX!
I had the same issue when I was experimenting with ROMs and Recoverys, but not to worry, Sony PC Companion 2.1 does the trick!
Download PC Companion 2.1 from the Sony Mobile website
1. When you download and open it, click start under Support Zone
2. Click start under Phone Software Update
3. When the window saying that a phone could not be found appears, click repair phone
4. A windows like this will appear, click continue to proceed with the repair of the firmware
NOTE: All data that is placed on the phone memory will be wiped but any data saved on the memory card will be spared
5. After clicking continue, a window like so will appear. Tick the box and click next to continue with repair!
6. Sony PC Companion 2.1 will now prepare the computer for the firmware update
7. Now choose your phone model, in this case it should be the Xperia X10 (X10). Select the phone and click Next!
8. Follow the prompts to repair your phone!
GOOD LUCK!!
Always fails for me.
All process end in fail
There must be a file I need to rename or something....
tried everything now...
I have tried everything by now, here i have attached a attachment of error i get while repairing my phone through SEUS..
only option is box flash, but i think its kind of risky...
Fail fail fail..... i'm getting hopeless wif my X10
Hey,
I did some re-search and got to know that somehow my X10 flashes as So-01C in some systems, i.e. xperia arc, even while updating ..........
Anyone here, knows other ways to flash through box other than technician, coz these technicians are real idiot they can crap your phone in 10 seconds, so its better to crap it yourself...
"alternative to box flash, please ???"
Try this
Had the same problem once, when my phone would not start at all, all I had to do was connect it to the PC Companion (2.0), at first it wouldn't repair but after a certain amount of tries it did the trick,
First: Make sure all your drivers are installed, if they were installed there should be no problem.
If they were not, the computer cannot identify your phone, try installing some other x10's drivers (cause your's is bricked I assume) that might do the trick aswell.
Open PC Companion > Support Zone > Phone Software Update (Start) > Follow Instructions > Repair
It might take several tries to get it right
If this doesn't work try the latest flashtool, it should do the trick !!
There must be something you are not doing right, else SEUS/Flashtool should have worked like a charm.
see i get this reply, when updating x10..
I have tried this like thousands of times, installing roms and then removing them and repairing the phone, but this time it has gone over my head........
I need to flash my X10 Mini, but I can't find the firmware for It anywhere with a working link. Anyone that still have the file and willing to share?
There are only plenty of links to sites that are down
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn on the phone and then afterwards it just won't start anymore, so i need to flash it and then use SEUS to restore it.
UPDATE!
I found everything and fixed everything I needed by just flashing It with a stock kernel.
Just use the Repair option in Pc Companion.

I'm not looking for how to do It..... Read the question before you post. I appreciate you trying to help, but at least understand what the question Is first.
I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.

I installed a Rom that went wrong and had to use flashmode with sony's update program, not sure how it's called these days. I if you install that and plug it into the pc holding down the Back button, it recognizes it and will all you what you want to do. Select restore (or something similar). It'll restore it back to 2.3.3. After that you can install xRecovery again with flash tool.
