Plug your phone into the computer and reflash with SEUS. I believe thats your only choice now.....well that and the flashtool.

yup...trying to use the flashtool now...downloading the latest one so hopefully can use a generic rom / install the xrecovery via flashtool first...
but i am still downloading it....bloody connection is so slow here...
Thanks!

Thankfully, you can't actually brick this phone unless it has real hardware failure. All you gotta do is remove the battery (to get it to turn off), then put it back in like 30 seconds later, hold the back button while plugging in usb, then you are in flash mode to install whatever rom you'd like with seus or flashtool

it's alive!!! ahahahahaha...thanks!
so this means it is QUITE the unbrickable!!

unbrickable x10... until u stomp on it .... hahahahaha

try using flashtool. directions are in the link.
U mentioned you have a x10i correct, then pick the firmware you want with the x10i with the latest baseband. if you still have questions, keep asking.
rooting is next if you go that route then, flashing ROMS, which are associated with a baseband
here is the link for flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Yeah dude, use flashtool.... just flash it back... tht worked for me... i bricked my phone once.... now its rollin again....

ok, i`ll try...
i can`t place my phone in Flashmode he gonna automatic to the Sony Ericsson logo...
What did i wrong?...
fire up SEUS, get to the bit where it say to connect your phone.
take the battery out for 10 seconds or so..
plug the micro USB cable into your phone only..
hold the back key (and keep it held until SEUS tells you to release it later in the process), push the battery back in
push the USB cable into your PC.
Should boot up into flash mode and SEUS will do it's thing!.
Done it before
Hi mate done it today since im new at rooting if you were trying to install a theme or rom, you might not have their firmware, if this is the case then you just from that Sony Ericsson screen keep pushing the Back or <-- key, this will boot you into xrecovery and just restore... if you havent made a back up, then you could try replace the rom you have back with the Se offical 2.1 rom which you can find in Android dev. and just launch it back with that... Hope this worked!!

[Q] {HELP} another x10 stuck at se boot

hi guys. my x10 froze at se boot and does nothing. i've read through almost all helpfull threads that are similar to my problem but the problem still persist. fyi, i booted to xrecovery, made a backup and i noticed that there were problems in backing up (md5 chcksum, i think). but the backup file was created. i restored using that file and now it is stuck at boot. i can't even turn the phone off. i've tried hard reset, tried using the sues, flashtoo and even pc tools but to no avail. this is due to the phone can't connect to usb. can anyone please help me.
You have do a factory reset and wipe cache?
how can i do that andres3d? are there any way for me to do that? i'm trying but the phone just can't go past the se boot. it's just stuck there. i can't even turn the phone off. the only way is to take out the battery.
Try this, enter into xrecovery and select "factory resect" first at all, then reboot.
I got stuck there too, and I haven't the xRec installed
You can download the SE Update Service (SEUS) and flash the original rom back to it.
Download the software and install, take off the battery, wait a little bit (30s or so), insert the battery back. DO NOT TURN ON THE PHONE YET.
Open the SEUS, choose the phone (X10) and click 'go', or 'ok', or whatever. Keep going and the software will tell you to plug the phone. Plug the phone turned off. When it's plugged, turn it on holding the back button until the software tells you to release.
Wait a few moments... and it's done. Turn on your phone, it should take a little longer to boot, but it's just the first time, then it boots normally.
It's quite easy to do when you know what to do
thanks in advance but i've tried both method and it still got me nowhere. first, i can't boot to xrecovery at all and second, the sues doesn't even detect my phone.
Did you try download a stock firmware from here and install by flashtool?
Do you have installed drivers from x10 to your PC?
I thing the only way is by flashtool, because you don't have xrecovery access l.

Hi all
Unfortunetly my case is 99% similiar as "Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10XPERIA X10 Q&A[Q] {HELP} another x10 stuck at se boot" but changing the cables doesn't help. The only thing which the phone respond is to hold back starting of booting what immidietly happening when i'm connecting the usb cable.
I had xrecover installed before but is not starting onto flashing mode.
Any ideas

[Q] Help! My x10 is dead!

I tried flashing the new CM7 ROM (cheers J) and I turned it on after backing up, wiping and flashing absolutely everything I had to. It went through the normal startup and then after the "Sony Ericsson" logo it said at the top of the screen "Loading custom kernel. Bye!" It then showed the CM7 logo and spent around 5 minutes booting up. I then got the WLOD and my phone just died really ever since then. Every time I turn it on, even when plugging it into the charger, I get a vibration and then the screen gets stuck on the "Sony Ericsson" page and won't change (I left it for 5 hours like that and it didn't change. Also, no matter how much I spam the back button, it will not enter xRecovery. I am slightly worried as I am meant to be going abroad this Wednesday and will definately need it then. Can anyone help me?

SEUS won't recognize my phone... I got it sorted by reflashing the original 2.1 from SE and then rerooting and reflashing xRec so now its practically back to normal.

Any help there?

I'm back to my old ROM (coincidently also from Rendeiro) and yeah cheers. My SEUS doesn't come up with a repair option, I only have "update". Anyway I've given up on that and am now flashing CM 7.0.3 coz it seems way more stable and from what I've heard there's no getting WLOD with it so far... so yeah cheers guys

[Q] HELP ME WITH SEUS !! Help me Restore x10 mini to a usable condition..

Help me ppl ! I screwed up big time !!
I originally got X10 mini with Android 2.1 and relatively old firmware ...anyway I rooted my phone, took the backup and then Flashed a CWM Recovery on it !
Factory WIPED all the data for the new ROM ......
Then I was about to Flash this CM 7.1 ROM when all of a sudden it displayed the message that it wont work wihout the Latest Firmware .... so from there on I had no choice but to Restore my Backup and go back to a working OS, so I could easily proceed with Firmware update ...... but that never happened !!!
The Backup couldnt be recovered ...it failed for i dont know what reason ....ever since then the device never worked beyond the WHITE Sony Ericsson LOGO !!! Im stucked ..... even the CWM Recovery isnt working now !!
and when phone is charged I have no way to turn it off !! I try that HOME+POWER button Combo but it turns back on !! I have no way of stopping this battery drainage either !!
SEUS wont work for me beyond the point where I have to hold the BACK KEY and then connect USB !!
I'm stucked !! I've been looking for a solution for almost 5 days now .... but had no luck !!! dont know what to do from here on!! KINDLY HELP !! plzz plzz plzzz !! I desperately need to fix this !! the device even aint mine !!!
Ok, lets start from the beggining.
What rom did you flash?
Why did you not check the firmware version if it matched the required?
To fix it, let the fone discharge. Then plug the charger in, let it charge a while, and flash via SEUS.
SEUS wont work for you because the phone is on a constant boot loop, so it is never off, which is required to be able to enter the back key function.
try it and let me know.
we've tried few things but nothing helped yet:

devilzeye, please don't open a new thread for the same issue. instead, you can keep the other thread alive.
PC Companion is OK, but not great for these situations. Download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) because it has a much better method for fixing a phone in a messed up position.

Step 1: Relax and Breathe
As DamDSx said. Let it discharge fully. Then Charge it (I Pity mini users cause u cant just yank the battery out!)
In the meantime install Flashtool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10738287&postcount=1 on your PC. (only install 0.2.8 or 0.2.91 Latest version may not recognise anything but daddy x10)
Follow Process from Here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507 ) and download a ROM for Mini(E20i) Follow the procedure and flash ur stock ROM.
Then Root the phone. Install Root explorer (google it) and go to \system directory. Edit a file called "Build.prop" and change the product code (something like 1238-90XX) wherever you find it in the file and replace it with the correct one for ur phone (Can be found on ur phone's Box)
Run PC companion and check for updates. you'll have the latest stock 2.1 fiirmware. You're good to go!
Next time mess around with only your own device mate
Last -1 step : When you pray to god next, thank him for creating XDA too
Last step: If you find this useful, hit thanks and THANK THE ORIGINAL POSTS TOO (Links posted above)

No they are separate software...entirely different programs...PC Companion to me looks a little useful, but SEUS is way better at fixing your phone when in trouble...
Lift the back cover off.
There is a small rubber plugg, lift that or pry it off.
Beneath that you have the batteryconnector.
Push down on the side wher you see the connecting cables and presto!
Phone off.

[Q] Resetting phone to factory defaults

I was hoping someone could be of help. I have an old SE X10 that I was going to give to a friend. I had an old wolfbreak rom on it. Xrecovery etc The bootloader is locked, but I am having some serious problems getting flashtool to do anything with the phone. So I decided to go into recovery and wipe etc. Now it wont boot and flashtool doesnt seem to wanna do anything either. Anyone have any advice on how to get my device back up and running?
Tried running update service to reset, I can get it to try, but it keeps saying im on the latest software. I really have no clue what to do with flashtool just sitting at preparing files for flashing, forever
can u go to xrecovery..???
If yes,then put a ROM on SD card and flash it again.
Nope, the back button does nothing @ sony logo. Ahhh frustrating!

In SEUS or PCCompanion even when it says you are on the latest software there is an option to "update anyway" or "repair"
