Possible Brick - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
My buddy gave me his x10 to work on. It will not power on. It will viberate but that is it. I have let the battery charge. Tired different chargers (car, usb, and ac) still nothing. I need some ideas as I am reaching my breaking point lol.
Zack

Download SEUS from the SE website and repair the phone software.. if that doesn't do it then you most likely have a phone with busted hardware.

I have seus but the problem is I am not able to even boot into flashmode

ok so i got it to to flashmode so I have hope now. Just have to get to my computer with all my files. I guess the battery was just really low.

Alright. Tried sues, pcc, and flash tool. Both seus and pcc failed with update. FlashTool got stuck at system.sin.

I felt what people who bricked their X10i went through. Personally i bricked my X10i just 20minutes out from the box (package). I spent whole night reading to unbrick it. lol. And Yes ive tried Seus ive tried flashtool with many2 ROMS. So, here it is. Im just trying to help. So i reupload that important file.

Step by Step Guide -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Please follow from Step 0.
After that you can run Flashtool and download baseband .55 generic and flash it.
Please reply the outcome. Thanks.

I will give it one more shot. Hopefully it will work for me. I am really hating this phone at the moment.

If the flash tool gets stuck on that file, try another firmware.

If you can manage to get access to another pc, download SEUS or flashtool and try it there.
The only thing I can think of is keep holding down the "back" button untill the whole process is finished.
Ok for some weird reason it works on my lil brothers pc.
I wonder if my USB drivers on my own main pc are ****ed or something.
OMG ITS STARTING :O
I can't believe just using another PC just fixed it. I seriously thought I lost my brand new phone.
And for information, I did use the flashtool as well and that didn't work first. I guess it must be an issue with my pc. Well I won't complain, I managed to get it updated to 2.1 after debranding it (and I was certain I didn't **** that up.)
Thank you so much guys!

It probably has something to do with the installation of java on the faulty pc.
I've noticed it on a friend that had trouble flashing a mini pro with SEUS.

just as a point of interest... the mini pro and X10i I have only flash from the usb port they were originally inserted into... not sure if this is a common issue but if I use any other USB port I get hangs and java problems.
Probably something to do with the way the device ID is recorded i suspect.
One question.. I am using the flashing tool but it seems that i got stuck flashing on amss.sin file... if I disconnect the phone would I kill it? I am saying this because in Motorola phones, if you disconnect the phone in the middle of the flashing process, the phone will be dead... By reading the posts before, it seems that this guy disconnected the phone but nothing happens... but I want to be sure,..

Well Just in case, nothing happened, I did not kill my phone. I flashed it but the whole process was so fast that I thought it was not successful. So, I flashed it again without disconnecting the phone (I was afraid of killing it) and the same thing happened.... after some hour I was brave enough to disconnect it... I turned it on and voila... it was showing the camera and after that I got the version 2.1. I hope this helps someone in the future.

The new flash tool 0.2.5, will flash both 1.6 and 2.1. It works a little different, you will need to read through 1st.
ive tried the new flash tool and the old. neither work. The old one flashes but same problem but new one wont even let me select the firmware to flash so i cant even try it out properly. and sues just lets me exit it doesnt let me repair like usual

1. Try PC companion.
2. Read this guide.
You need to create the ftf file from the sin files, under advanced see bundle creation.
Read the how to.
pc companion wont work as I need to have usb storage but my phone wont even turn on. I have created the ftf files and now flashing, hopefuly it works.
still the same . could it be that the cable got disconnected half way through the process? sorry i forgot to mention this. My brother pulled it out. am i doomed?

No you are not doomed. Calm down
1. Repair using SEUS (even if it says you have the latest software, reinstall it)
2. If that does not work, try PC companion.
3. If that does not work then use the flash tool. You can use the old version if the new one is not working out for you.
Before you do all of the above, take out the battery and wait 10 seconds. Then, reinstall the battery and try the SEUS. Good luck!
the thing is sues wont letme repair it just says exit. Normally you can repair but now it just says exit.

OK. Then try the older version of the flash tool. You can find it here.
Does it also say install? If so, press that button. If that doesn't work install PC Companion and try that method.
thank you very much everyone for the help. Its finally working. I used the flash unbrick and its fixed im so happy i thought that my money went down the drain.

[Q] x10i won't start

first of all let me say that i've don a lot of searching before posting this, and i know it seems pretty long but please try to help me.
i got an x10i from a friend few days a go. the reason i got it (for free) was because it's not working and he didnt want to mess with it anymore.
when i first got it, if i tried to turn it on, the led would flash red. once in a while it got turned on, the sony ericsson text appeared for a few seconds and went off again. now if i try to turn it on the led would flash green for a sec, there is a vibrate but thats it. screen wont turn on at all.
i'f i try to connect it in the SE PC suite it detects it, but fails installing it. i've managed to enter the repair tool, but it failed a few times. however, the last time i tried to repair it said that it was repaired succesfully. still, not turning on.
tried to flash a firmware via flashtool, seems like its going well all the way but in the end it says "error flashing. aborted".
i'm pretty much out of ideas now, so ill really be grateful if anyone could help me.
a little update:
i've manged to flash a firmware via flashtool and it finished without any error, but still it won't turn. only the quick green flash and vibration.
any help will be appreciated.
ok, big update:
the phone is starting, i get past the boot animation and see the main screen (!) but after a sec or 2 the screen freezes and the phone shut down and won't start again unless i replace the battery?
please? anyone? im feeling so close yet so far away. could be a battery issue? when the screen starts i see that the battery is almost empty (connecting it to the charger won't help)
Yesterday i had the same problem ... i had to flash the hole firmware with X10Flash-2.1 and then updating with seus.. after this it restarts and it boot correctly
Not sure if u tried this, try having the phone plugged into the charger and let it charge for a while and then try booting it up again. Firmware wise, I would try a stable 2.1 or the freex10 beta 2.2 for a start to ensure that the software installed are stable ones. Hope this help.
try to fix it with seus...
nothing else willing to work as it seems there is something wrong a little deeper than flashable files...
This is I believe 1000th thread about this.
1. run seus
2. run PCC
3. run flashtool
Done.
SEUS seems to be the most effective way of repairing this.. Although you might also want to try pulling the battery before it freezes, it can help to recalibrate the battery.

thanks to everyone who replied.
i've downloaded and installed on the phone the version by SEUS, but i still cant turn on the phone.
in PC companion nothing is happening. when i go to the support section to get the new version, it just connecting with the phone and then tells to disconnect the phone and turn it on (which of course don't happen).
i've tried to run a repair in PC suite but it fails.
i've also tried to flash a firmware in flashtool, but it also fails.
any ideas?

If i am not wrong windows 32/64 bit does not affect how ur phone is gonna be installed since the installer that is downloaded is for the phone only and the installation process will only be done by the phone itself.
Not sure if u tried a different software such as xrecovery to install the OS into ur x10, since xrecovery with freex10beta4 works for almost all of the users in here, it should work for u if ur x10 has no hardware faults. If all still fails, it might be most probably your x10 hardware has failed or something along those lines.
It work for me, then with the 1.6 you can after that update with seus to 2.1update 1. If your phone doesn't work anymore you have nothing to lose.

the original 1.6 is on this forum also... please make some commercials somewhere else... k thanks...
4 out of the 9 posts u made had something to do with this website... could you stop please?
@the win7 part... you could get problems if you dont got the right drivers but it would tell you or error out...
the only thing what you could do in my opinion that is is short the pins while battery has been removed
this should effect total emptied phone and hopefully also the memory.... maybe than you are capable to flash/start it...
now if this wont work.. im sorry but im out of ideas and u shud use it to make a new barn or house ;/ im sorry
Didn't know the 1.6 was on the forum, thanks for the cue. I won't talk about that anymore.

x10i wont start up

Hey guys,
I have an x10i that just went dead one day, I thought it needed a software re-install so I did it. Now it wont turn on and I just get a quick green blink and a vibrate when I turn it on. Ive flashed it 10 times via sony update too and pc companion and flash tools. I dont know what to do, any help would me much appreciated.
Download SEUS from Sony and flash. Make sure it is fully charged and make sure you are using the right USB cable and try using several different USB ports on your computer if the first one doesn't work.

Thanks for the response, I have a fully charged battery and just re-flashed with still no luck. What did you mean about the "right usb cord" ?
Thanks again.
I mean reflashed with SEUS (not PC Companion) and by right USB cord, I mean the one that came with the phone. Or if you have the possibility, try another one.
Tried with 2 different usb cords and on 2 different cpus. I think Im S.O.L
One more question, after a flash how long does it take for the xperia to boot up?
During a flash with SEUS it tells you when the phone is rebooting....same with the Flashtool.
Screen turns on...still black...then Sony logo, then your bootlogo followed by desktop.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmX-IYNYqL8
Is it successfully flashing using SEUS or flashtool? Does it actually flash and then not boot? What does it say when you flahs using the flashtool?
But again, if the flashtool isn't working, you are going to have to use SEUS to get back to scratch. Run it as Admin...let it boot up and do nothing to the phone for at least 2 minutes. Do not swipe or move a thing....let it settle down.
Some of you people who ask for help really don't provide much information at all.
To me it looks like a wrong firmware problem... version you have installed isn't the same as kernel.
I would flashtool....root....turn off phone....SEUS full reflash....

When the flash finishes up it says to turn on the device and the start up may take some time, Ive let it sit for hours and still nothing. IDK what the hell is wrong with it.
K well I give up. Ive tried 3 more times using a cpu with xp and still the same thing.
If any one else has had this problem please let me know.
looks like the faulty motherboard issue to me, some users are experiencing this problem, if you have warranty get a new phone if don't then i don't know what else can you do :/

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........
