Hello. I have currently tried to install xrecovery to be able to install a custom rom to get Apps2SD, but even though I have tried every method I've found on this forum, bricked my phone once and repaired it, tried again, I -cannot- boot into xrecovery.
Can anyone help me to please pinpoint the problem? The method of starting xrecovery is pretty crude aswell, making this issue real annoying, as I don't know if maybe I didn't push the back button at the exact right time or something like that.

Ok, first, when are you starting to push?
* Start pushing the backbutton right after you feel a vibration!
* It's the Sony Ericsson logo with ONLY text they're talking about!
* Some1 says it worked 4 them pulling the keyboard out after the vibration !

I understand you do not have xrecovery installed. Reflash phone
ok i have no idea to do that considering i can't get my fone off... it's stuck in the loop cheers for that well thought out answer that gave no help at all
Take out the battery, put it back in and don't turn it on.
Use Sony Ericsson PC Companion and follow the onscreen instructions to restore your phone.
Also, YOU are the one with the problem, so if someone tries to help you don't be rude please.
Have tied to remove your batt?

Thanks for your answer, i had not seen it when posted mine. Finally seems our friend to have solved his problem reflshing,,,, jejejejeje.
I have been visiting this site ever since I first read about X10 & was fascinated by it (I have always loved SE phones). Anyway, I have since gotten an X10i (AT&T) & have de-branded it as well as unlocking & rooting it. Here goes:
I installed Champs' Rom (x10sV9-addon) but didn't want all the clutter he had pre-installed. To make a long story short, I went back to Wolf's ROM via Xrecovery but something went wrong. I can no longer boot into Xrecovery & after SonyEricsson logo, screen goes blank, not black/blue just blank. The other problem is, since I can't see the screen, I can't turn on the USB connection so my PC/Flashtool/SEUS can recognize my device so I can fix it. This happened while trying to re-install Wolf's ROM & installing the following zip files via Xrecovery: Bravia_Xloud engine, Xperia S Player, Champ + Bar, x10_gb_stock_wifi_modules. Then I rebooted & I get the blank screen. I know it is on because I can turn the volume all the way down to vibrate. The "home" button still lights up. PLEASE, I need someone's help with this one as I am no expert, just a moderate tinkerer. ANY help/incite would be appreciated. Sorry, I can't even give you any screenshots. Can anyone out there help me out? Thanx in advance.

You said the button still lights up? can you get into recovery? if so just wipe system and install a rom! and try flashing a kernel with flashtool!!!!
RE: Blank Screen After Flashing Custom ROM
Thanx for getting back to me so fast. As I said, the screen is blank. That is, the backlit display works but I can see nothing else. The "Home" button lights up when i press it but the display does nothing. If/When I reboot to try to enter XRecovery, I see the SonyEricsson logo followed by the backlit screen & nothing else. The Volume up/down buttons work as I am able to silence the phone by turning volume all the way down to vibrate. Because I cannot see what's on the display, I cannot turn USB on/off to connect to PC to run SEUS/Flashtool, etc. I.E. I cannot fix the device. Usually I just boot into XRecovery to fix a problem like this but that doesn't work.
x10
hy, install sony update service and repair your phone, then install again custom rom, the indications how to repair your phone software is in the program.
Best regards

I wish I had gotten this solution sooner. Not sure if it would have mattered. When trying to use Flashtool I kept getting an error saying my phone was not in "flash mode".
I solved my problem by flashing using Omnius & flashing firmware 'X10i_generic_SE_24_MultiTouch.rar'. This got my phone back but it was only 2.1 so I used 'DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su' to get me back to 2.3, but this is where I'm at. I had Wolf's firmware before but right now I have no xRecovery installed. I thought I had rooted my phone but xRecovery isn't installed nor is Busybox.. Any ideas? Thanx in advance...EVERYONE @ XDA-DEVELOPERS rox!
I haven't replied to this post because I'm at my wit's end. I still can't get XRecovery installed & I think I've tried all the methods out there. Maybe my problem is that I restored my phone using Omnius. Flashtool works OK but I can't do anything but Flash on it. My phone is a headache now. It freezes up, crashes & sometimes won't read the SD card. Please help...

C if u can repair phone using SEUS now. Open the software without connecting phone. N then go to the update part. It should give u a repair option. Then follow those steps. Or else just connect ur phone n then start software. When it tells u ur phone is up to date click on that n then click on "repair". Then use the latest flashtool to root. Recoveries come with kernels so just flash a custom kernel.

Many Thanks, I was finally able to use SEUS; before I could not. I used Flashtool to upgrade/downgrade kernel. However, I still don't have XRecovery installed & I'm not sure how to do this. I can't install XRecovery using Flashtool. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to install a custom Rom again.
I don't think u need to upgrade or downgrade.. just look for a link to download xrecovery here and follow instructions

I'm not sure how it went down but prior to this, I was unable to use SEUS. No matter what I did, I couldn't repair it. However, since your post, I was able to use SEUS & Flashtool to get back to where I was before I screwed up my X10a. I'm currently running Wolf's Rom (many thanx!!!) & am very satisfied w/all your help homey! You da man!
I noticed you are running ICS on your X10i. Any help so that I may partake of that deliciousness?

Ur welcome i don't think u need help you just flashed a custom ROM.. the procedure for installing ICS is the same. Although it'd be better if you are on stock before installing it.. just look for an ICS ROM that u like (I'm using feralab n it works like a charm).
Get the kernel n ROM.. as usual, put the ROM zip on ur SD card, flash the kernel, install ROM from recovery
Although before installing:
1. In recovery go to mounts n storage
2. Format system data n cache
3. Mount system, data n cache (note that if the mounting is successful the options should change to unmount system, unmount data, unmount cache respectively)
4. Then install ROM
5. The installer is GUI based so it'll guide u really well through the installation

Iam sory if my english bad
Since I flashed my rom.My phone comes on but I can see anything, even when starting I can't see anything...
I really need help..
I will appreciate if you help me sort it out.
hi guys,
I'm new to this and I probably made the most stupid thing!
No one is to blame but me.
I wanted to root my xperia U with software version 6.1.1.c.1.10.
After hours of searching and applying all these information in order to unlock the boot loader and installing adb drivers, fastboot etc., I decided to apply the kernel that I've found to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t1688147
Since then I cannot make my phone boot again. All I get is SONY and a blue light that goes away after a while, but SONY stays there forever.
So have I complete destroyed my phone? Should I see if its flying through out the window? or is there a chance for restoring it?
Thank you for your time.

Please be patient,& Gentle with me, I'm new here,,, (TY) Hi, I have a Pantech P9060 (old I know ) Android 2.3.4 , Gingerbread( Stock Rom). It's rooted. It will turn on, load in the boot screen- and stop there, and if I touch the power/menu keys, it will start the loop acting boot process, without re-starting the phone , just continuous boot screen. I have changed the boot screen probably 3/4 times from the original AT&T screen using Jimmy Rummel apps, Rom Installer . I've tried returning back from backup, Titanium Pro, I backed up to google drive as well, but regardless I can't seem to reset to factory( which I've done before), or even update, Nothing.. It's so frustrating. I've searched these forums inside out for a solution as to not bother you guys with my old phone issues, but I have to admit, I need help with this. I don't think it's hard bricked, I'm thinking I may have flashed the wrong Rom( im not sure though) trying to upgrade from 2.3.4 .. Not positive though. I sure hope there's someone to help me here, It wont connect to the PC syncing, Pantech PC Suite, yet my pc shows the phone in Device Manager and Computer. So I'm hoping I've done something simple, :/ stupid,,but simple. Anyone help me out ? Rooted Apps & System info/apps on my phone are in a File Manager > xposed, bootmanager, clockworkmod, rom mod installer pro, Titanium Pro, and others...Can it someway be just flashed to a new rom of some version? :crying: Thanks in advance.......

Don't think that there are any custom updates. I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IOQJJCSKC4 - Sorry it's not in English, but it's the only thing I found that actually had a download of the rom. Even Pantech doesn't seem to have anything besides the manual and drivers for it.

If the device powers up but is not able to boot into the operating system, that is referred to as a soft brick.

Hi all
I have a bricked neo. I tried to flash a ROM some time back and now the phone won't boot. When the power button is pressed it just vibrates and that's all. I know that the bootloader is locked and this may be where I went wrong but I don't really know.
I have searched online and keep coming across the flashtool option of reflashing to stock but whenever I try this it stops not even half way through. I also read about PC companions repair feature, tried and failed, does not see my phone but knows I'm trying to connect it?
I keep trying thinking maybe I am the problem but I have followed guides to the letter (since causing this problem by not researching properly in the first place) and I just can't get any life out of it. Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance
Edit: I tried rooting before hand if this helps
This kinda sounds like a dead battery. Remember that the phone does not charge in flashmode, it might have discharged completely during the flash. If possible, try to reflash it again with someone else's battery.
Also, posting logs could never hurt I guess
