I installed the freex10-beta4 and I was going to put it back to stock 2.1 ( think I had wrong 2.1 version ) ( I had had no network connection ). But I accidently started a new update instead of the old one.
Now my phone is starting (looping) again and again and I can't get any further than the Sony ericsson letters than the purple glow thingy, the logo and then it restarts.
I can't start xrecovery so I really don't know what to do.
My kind regards.

Use the repair option in SEUS
How would I do that? I can't get into the main screen.

I was updating to FreeX10 2.2 Beta 4 .. Flashed the new FW .435 from stock RoM thread.
Well, here is my predicament. I can't get any further then the Sony Ericson logo. I have tried entering xRecovery to no success.
I was running Blue Sparks custom RoM before I attempted this.
Before Blue Sparks I was running Z's first beta of 2.2 and had no problems with installing and using it, I just reverted back to 2.1 because of the amount of bugs "no offense it was just Beta 1 ".
I am just trying to get my phone back up and running and am having an extreme problem of not being able to access anything to do so.
SEUS will not detect the phone under flash mode. Flash Tool will not connect. I have taken SIM Card and SD Card out, left the battery out now for over an hour and still nothing.
Any information on what to do would be greatly appreciated.
PS, I know this is completely in the wrong thread but seeing as how I never posted anythign before or ever had any problems my post count is not high enough to respond to anything under the Development Tab .. I just read everything you devs post and follow instructions.
Xperia X10a
Blue Sparks
Mod: xKrisx
had the same problem, some themes are not ready for the newest fw
check for updates on the threads or install a fw using any flash tool
The problem is not the custom rom. Blue Sparks ran on 2.0.2.A.0.24. To update to the current Beta 4 of FreeX10 2.2 I needed to upgrade my build to the current one, .435.
So with updating, I flashed X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL and updated the Base Band by flashing the amss file for it.
After completing the above two steps, I was no longer running Blue Sparks. It was a generic version of .435.
Now is were my problems began. I placed both zip files on my SD Card " Beta4 and gapps" and flashed both through xrecovery.
My phone rebooted and now it gets hung on the Sony Ericson logo during boot up and will not go anyfurther. I cannot access Xrecovery / I cannot enter Flash Mode. I am losted and have no idea of what to do to restore my phone.
Happend to me to because i flashed beta 4 and then gapps right after. I found that flashing beta 4 only then reboot phone let it boot then flash gapps after i got phone working. Thats what i did to get it working
EDIT: when se logo comes just rapidly press the back button until xrecovery pops up tryid one time where i was clicking for more than 30 sec before it came up

Thats my problem though, I cannot get into Xrecovery.. It stays hung at Sony Ericson logo period. It has sat there for the better part of an hour to no avail. I tried to connect back to SEUS and just retore back to default but I cannot get the phone into Flash mode either.
I took the phone back to At&t and I think my 5 year old son has more knowledge then they do, it was ****in pointless..
Step one:
turn phone on
step two:
Screen never illuminates
step three :
you can see a monochrome outline of the Sony Ericson logo
step four :
Screen illuminates and Sony Ericson logo is clear visable.
step five :
there isn't one cause it never goes any further then this.
________________________
when trying to enter flash mode
Step one ..
hold down back button
step two .
insert usb cord
step three
wait for green light to stay on.
step four .
Green light flashes three times and phone turns back off..

Can someone just tell me that I have royaly ****ed my phone up so I can just go throw it in the toilet and clame insurance on it ?
Leave USB cale plugged both ends, remove battery, while holding back button reinsert battery. Should now be in flash mode.
try flashing from older flash tool where a connect button appears.
click connect..insert d cable with back key pressed and click on ok..
or
try getting in flash mode using seus..
if both doesnt work there must be problem with back button i guess..
(remember to install gordongate driver from flashtool/driver)..
and if u succeed in getting in flash mode then upadate d whole firmware to .435..not just d baseband..
then format system,cache,data thru xrecovery and install b4.
all d best.
have the same exact issue, but mine was due to using format/system option in xrecovery i press on it by mistake thinking it was the option above it..... i am lost with a beatiful xperia x10 not working past sony ericsson logo like you..........anyone to our rescue????? ill sure buy them a beer!

Hi everyone
yesterday I bought a X10 (it wasn't brand new)
I turned it on and it asked me for settings (language, time, etc) (yeah it's not new but they changed the rom before sell it to me)
I worked with it for like 10-15min and I got a big vibrate and it turned off. I pluged it into the charger, there was an orange led for 5min and then nothing, when I tried to turn the phone on I saw SE logo and it restarted. I plugged it to the charger, nothing again, not even orange led
I took it to a store and they shocked the battery, i came back, turned it on, it booted ok everything was fine,I plugged it again to full charge. orange led for 1.5h and then green led.I worked with it a short time then turned it off to put the sim and sd card in
when I turned it on it booted till lock screen and rebooted. again SE logo then boot again
it sometimes boot till lock screen sometimes only se logo and reboot
when it goes to lock screen I see antena has red x on it, i thought maybe that's the problem, i removed sim and sd, still the same
Please please please help me
ps 1: I can't connect it to the pc, I tried but when pc wants to recognize it and install drivers, it stops and says "not successful"
Have a look in the dev section for flashtool (there's a tutorial in the q&a section), look in the firmwares sticky in the dev section and download the firmware for your region. I suggest you pick a generic firmware. Now use flashtool to flash the firmware to the phone.
This should solve the problem.
thank you Frosty for fast answer
but my problem is my pc dosen't recognize the phone
flashtool works even without drivers?
Flashtool works in flash mode. If you can't get your computer to recognise the phone when it is powered on, it should still recognise it in flash mode. If not, there is an option in flashtool to install the drivers.
Sent from my x10, rocking Wolf's 2.3.3 + DooMKernel, overclocked to 1.2 GHz...
good, so I think I still have a chance to fix it
btw, now I have stock 2.3.3 installed
which rom do you recommend? should I install 2.3.3 again or downgrade to 2.1?
I want it to support farsi
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
is right?
You could do 2.3.3 or 2.1. It shouldn't matter.
As for Farsi support, 2.1 supports more languages than 2.3.3 I think. I just checked the list of available languages on my 2.3.3 ROM and Farsi isn't listed. 2.1 might support it.
You could always try both to see which one better suits your needs.
That firmware you have is 2.3.3, by the way.
thank you so much frosty
I asked if i could install 2.3.3 because now have 2.3.3 and i have this problem. installing same version will fix it?
and one question about baseband
should i download one or it comes in firmware pack/zip
if I have to download it, how do I know which one?
Your're welcome.
Oh, in that case, you should be fine.
The baseband is included in the firmware file.
I'm facing a weird problem
I can't turn my phone on, I've been told to try flashtool and install a new rom
my old rom was 2.3.3
I downloaded flashtool and X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
first time I tried instrudoction in second post in this topic. it seems flashtool recognized my device and startet flashing but after a few min it said flash aborted
I wanted to try again but this time even before i connect the device to usb cable, flashtool say flashing start and nothing happen
I also tried SE update service, it downloaded the rom and it seem it worked (second green bar went to the end and said disconnect phone and restart)
I restart the phone but it reset after SE logo, sometime it boot till lock screen and reset again
Please help me
Sorry to say this, but you might be out of luck.
If re-flashing stock couldn't fix it, your issue may be a hardware problem.
Do you have any sort of warranty? If it's second hand, you probably don't.
You could try taking it to a Sony Ericsson service center and see if they can do anything.
omg
I'm officially beeeeeep
thanks anyway Frosty
btw, pc campanion and se update service do something different
is it possible that pc companion can fix it?
Well you could try. Couldn't hurt.
I may have posted in the wrong section and before you say there are topics covering this ive tried everything and im at my wits end!
I had a custom 2.2 ROM loaded on my Xperia for months but due to battery life issues i decided to upgrade to 2.3 (Wolf's) without doing much research.. Had i learnt that i needed to upgrade xRecovery to the latest release i wouldnt be in this dilemma.
I did the usual stuff when loading a new ROM but when loading the 2.3.3 ROM it failed.
Now when the phone starts up i get nothing but the SE logo!
Ive tried reflashing.
Ive tried using SEUS/PCC to update my phone - Which to no avail will the program recognize my phone for longer than 10 seconds.
Ive also tried SeTool2 and cant get my head around that.
If anyone has a fast easy fix for an idiot like me please point me in the right direction!
Should also add that i cant access xRecovery.
I am not trying to highjack this post but i am in the same position my phone is stuck in a loop on the black screen with the se logo.Flash tool or the se update service "sees" it for about 10 seconds not long enough to do anything.Please can anybody help?
A quick update i have sorted it i left it on se update and some how it went in to repair mode and i now have a working x10 again.The se repair didnt seem to be doing anything it just said please wait but i switched it on and it worked now i have to root it again lol
I think you should flash stock ROM 2.1 via flashtool, root and flash Xcr. Afterwards, you can follow the WOLF's instructions to flast TW ROM. Remember flash baseband .71
So i tried those things and still havn't gotten anywhere!
I cant flash the only thing i can do with flashtool is change the baseband and thats not very helpful to me atm!
I just wish there was an easy fix but apparently there isnt

Read Wolf's thread!!!
You HAVE to change the baseband, otherwise it won't work! You need baseband .71, which is included in the flashtool package he says to use...

Hello I have an experia ray st18 and i had android 4.0.4 and a open bootloader.For a couple days I bought a new Display and replaced the old one after i was finished i did make the software new with flashtool.The Handy worked for 2 or free 3 days perfectly and then suddently it stop by the sony logo when i turned it on.Now i tried so much to get the ray working but nothing worked.The last thing i did I put new TA files on it but this didn't worked maybe i used the wrong files.After that i looked the bootloader and used SUS to make Factory defauls and copy new software on the phone .But still the phone stop by sony logo.Sorry for my bad english.I hope somebody can help me .
I can hardly undrstand your English.
did you try to flash the stock using flashtool?
shutdown your phone, and hold on volume down while connecting phone to pc.
you will see the led notification lighting in green.
flash the stock after you place it in firmware folder.

Use flashtool to flash everything from the same version of firmware, meaning baseband, kernel, and stock ROM.
After replacing the Display i flashed the same software "android 4.0.4" that was already on the phone for the last year. The phone worked then for 2-3 days fine.The Batterie was empty and i put it on the charger then i tried to start the phone and nothing happens i just can see the sony logo.
Story abaut the phone:
I bought it for maybe a year ago with android 2.3.4 i flashed it with android 4.0.4 then i used the kernel 4.0.3 to get root access.Then i flashed the kernel 4.0.4.I deleted Facebook etc.all the apps i didn't want to have on the phone.Then I used the phone for a year I bought a new one and my girlfriend would have my Ray so i decided to repair the display and make new software on it because she want facebook etc.

Try a repair with SEUS or PC Companion first to get you back on stock. If the phone works like that, it may have been a problem with the ROM. Maybe a corrupted download or something like that.

If you made a backup before you flashed the custom ROM you can install xRecovery or CWM again and do an advanced restore and choose data to get your data back Making backups is always recommended ofcourse.
