X10 Seems to be dead. Urgent, Please Help - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

- Was using Free X10 Beta 4, Changed Brightness Settings, Phone crashes
- It will not turn on, but it does vibrate when holding the power on button
- The Phone is recognised by USB and comes up with the Green Light although
does not update in SEUS - "Product Cannot Be Identified" (I've deleted/replaced blob_fs, still same problem)
- Attempted to update firmware with PC Companion, Does not work, "Download Error"
- I've also attempted to installed a generic firmware through Flashtool, whilst it takes a very long time to flash it finishes although phone remains not working after.
What is wrong? I've simply changed brightness settings and it's crashed. Please help me get my phone working, I need it urgently.
This has happened once before although I've been able to reflash the firmware via SEUS although this time it isn't identifying my phone.

How was your battery level?
Ive never heard about this situation in particular but i believe if you search there are threads on unbricking an x10. Take a look around the forums and search unbrick x10 and see what you get.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Battery level was near 100%.
The Search seems to be down, could anyone link me to an unbricking tutorial on here?
Thanks.

Bump..
Unbricking method doesn't work (just flashing via Flashtool with generic firmware). On top of that it takes ages to flash via this method for some reason.
Anyone have any idea what the problem is?? The phone should be working fine, all I did was change the brightness setting and then it crashed.

it doesn't matter if U can access to flash mode. if u can, so before connect ur phone to computer, in SEUS Support zone =>start=>update software => start, then press blue letter "repair phone", wait until it ask for coonect phone in flash mode

Flash it with generic .sin files by flash tool......before that wipe total system.....
it should work....

I can't right now because I closed the Flash Tool although when it gets to flashing System it disconnects and the LED turns red, it then proceeds to saying everything has finished, disconnect phone and turn on.

Is your usb cable okay? maybe the problem is your usb cable. As of right now its IMPOSSIBLE to brick the X10 due to the bootloader not being cracked. The only problem can be your programs, cable, or maybe you dropped your X10 one to many times.

If you do get it sorted, you cant set brightness to auto, will cause a crash. This was highlighted in z's original freex10 thread.

It's not my programs, cables or computer as I've just flashed my friends X10 and it worked perfectly. I've never dropped my phone, It's done this after changing brightness setting on FreeX10 Beta 4.
It's also not the battery as I've tried using a friends battery and still the same problem.

Even if SEUS or PC Companion tells you that you haz the latest firmware, you can still perform a repair/reflash of the firmware.

Yes, and you dont need USB debugging or even to switch on your phone.. Switch off your phone, launch SEUS, connect your USB cable to phone while pressing back button on the same time when asked, and let SEUS do the work...

You mean your computer hangs when you connect though USB x10 in flash mode ? It looks the problem is your computer, try on another computer or check your USB drivers and your x10 flash mode drivers.
I updated my X10i succesfully with the 02-11-2010 version of the nordic flasher incl. 2.1 firmware on my Win7 64-bit machine.
Using the same firmware-files, I tried to update another X10i with the 05-11-2010 version of the flasher.
The command-prompt showed "FLASHING finished" (or to that effect) after successfully going through the various files in the 'firmware' folder, prompting me to press any key. Right when I did that, it added an error-message about file not having been found... but this was after the message informing me of the successful completion of the flashing.
I disconnected and restarted the phone - it got to the Sony Ericsson screen... stayed there for a few minutes - then rebooted and did the same thing again and again. I tried this three times - it just didn't work. I had to flash back to 1.6 via SEUS.
Any ideas?

This is because Java didn't implement its line command correctly. Add the java line to PATH variable :
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml
Add : ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\ (For Windows 7 x64)
Do not forget the coma if you have something already written on path. Once done, you can test it works fine by running a command line (wherever you want) by typing "java".

You may try to reflash your phone using 02 nov flasher (at least the one which worked for you). But once ###Flashing finished. is done whatever happen next, your phone should be safe. Maybe you changed files from firmware folder, so you should re-download a "clean" install and ONLY use tools provided within the archive. Hope this helps

I'll check this tomorrow, but I don't know about this bug. I know how to crash camera app, but I don't know why camera app shouldn't be able to connect the camera lens. This doesn't sound hardware (regarding other comments), but it's weird you can't get it to work back on 1.6. You may try to get a full memory reset, in order to empty the x10 internal memory, then do a fully clean install ?

In fact, I don't know ^^
At first, check with Android System Info which daemons run at start, and check camera app is running (without launching camera). If it's not running, that's wrong.
Then, you'll have to restore link between camera hardware and software, but I really don't know how to do that (Maybe pm jerpelea ?)...

Which version of 2.1 are you running ? (Generic Global, Nordic, ...)
Does your x10 is branded ???
Does your phone say there's no SIM card ?
As far as I can tell, it looks your phone is not configured properly to work with your provider. Try to download automatically settings or manually edit provider parameters (you can get these probably on this forum, or from Vodafone's site. I guess they can even automatically send am auto-configure SMS )

Clear, don't use pc compagnion !!
Seriously, just reflash with flashtools in firmware update. More easy, more robust. You probably have an incompatibility with the new x10 drivers pc compagnion update it self and your own usb drivers.
flashtools use its own windriver for usb, so ... just try.

I had the same problem. Whenever computer detected new hardware it gave a message "Found New Hardware" "SEMC device" and hanged. Then I tried other computer (another desktop) but same message popped up there as well. Finally I resolved the issue by installing SEMC flash driver (available on xda website in some other forum). Now here's the procedure. First don't open PC companion or SEUS. Just insert USB cable into your phone when your computer is on. This should pop up the message "Found New Hardware." At this stage install the driver and re-start the computer. Now open Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) (don't use PC Companion) and update by following the steps given there. Hope this will resolve your issue as well. I installed Android 2.1 successfully. You may read this thread as well if you want more info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827992
Indeed, the best thing to do is not to try to flash X10 to a rom dumped from this site using official Sony Ericsson software. (although most of time it will work)
It may indeed compromise flashing... If you want an "official" firmware, then you can use SE products to get roms directly from SE sites. If you get roms from here, you can (and should) use flashing tool provided. Not better, but specially built - with love and beer - for flashing these particular roms

Tried EVERYTHING to fix X10.. You can brick your phone. [A Last Attempt, Help]

Basically I've mad several threads before this, and have been trying for months to get my X10 working again, I'm going to put it into dot points.
What Happened?
- Using X10 as usual (FreeX10 rom, rooted)
- X10 randomly froze, took out battery to reboot, Powered On, Vibrated but did nothing further
- X10 does not work
What I've tried: Everything
- SEUS: does not 'recognise the device'
- PC Companion Repair: gives me a network error after putting phone into flash mode, does not go any further
- Tried nearly every version of Flashtool up untill the newest release
- Flashtool simply takes an unusual amount of time to flash then phone dies (flashing red light)
- The newest Flashtool won't start flashing due to having to put the phone into 'USB debugging' mode, which I cannot access
- Tried on various computers, different cable, bought a new battery, different internet connection - same problems every time
What can I do?
- Basically is there anything else I can do?
- I've tried everything, I thought the X10 was suposedly unbrickable.
* NOTE:
Also could the reason the latest flashtool is giving the abort error possibily due to a baseband incompatibility?
I remember changing basebands at one stage (do not remember which) so could this be the issue? If so how can I fix this/find out what baseband I'm on and the appropriate rom?
Having said that I've tried flashing a variety of different basebanded roms and all give the same error.
[EDIT]
Fellow member Mootmetal seems to be having the exact same problem. See his thread here:

Example of Flashtool and my problem:

The only time you need debugging is after the flashing is complete so that you can get rooted. Prior to that it doesn't matter.
As for flashtool taking long i can think of two things. One, your cable has an issue or its not making proper contact. Two, make sure you have wipe data enabled. Make sure your phone is charged as well, 50% should be fine. I dont think this is an issue but remove your sim card and sd card and try again. Hopefully you have some luck.
That being said I dont think your phone is bricked.
Edit; Was your phone very hot when it froze the first time? If so something could have been damaged from that time, which is causing the prob now.

Using the latest Flashtool I get this error:
-Wipedata is enabled
- I've tried with a bunch of different ROMS (1.6,2.1 etc)
- My cable is fine, I've used various cables
- No my phone was not hot when it first froze
Ive had that error before. The message that comes after about debugging is standard regardless of the out come of flashing. They should fix that.
Since you say the cable is fine, is the phone entering flash mode correctly. Since the first image shows that you got it in flash mode yet the second gives the impression it didnt.
Take a look at the flashtool thread and look at the errors others are having with the latest one, 0.2.9.1. Chances are you can find something related.

The first image is an older flashtool, it seems to go straight into flashing but takes way too long. Battery then dies.
I've searched my problem a multitude of times.

I remember changing basebands at one stage (do not remember which) so could this be the issue? If so how can I fix this/find out what baseband I'm on and the appropriate rom?
Having said that I've tried flashing a variety of different basebanded roms and all give the same error.
I think it's a issue from battery. I know you bought a new one, but I had a similar issue. My phone didn't enter in flash mode, because of battery issue and I tried many cables, bla, bla, bla. So I bought a "universal charger", put my battery about 10 minutes and put again in my phone. After that, my phone worked again and I got charge from usb and even my "wall charge" work fine. I flashed my phone with stock firmware and then I tried many custom roms.
Good luck

from china much ? i got my one of them from China.
OT: well, take out your batt, and reboot your comp. start flashtool. plug im your usb cable into your phone with the batt out. move the ftf file to another location - anywhere, your desktop. okay, flashtool select firmware and the location, should be desktop. choose your firmware from there. then, when it says plug in xperia, hold back on your phone and while still holding back, put in your batt.
best of luck.

Followed the steps, although Flashtool only selects firmwares from the firmware folder
(Flash>Pick Firmware - must be in the firmwares folder) so I cannot select it from the desktop.
Regardless this again leads to a very lengthy flash in which the battery will most likely die. It's taking forever.
-------------------------
I think it's safe to say that my phone is officially bricked. I've been trying for months on and off trying to bring it to life although nothing has worked. What do you guys think? Let it rest?
I think its an issue of your pc not recognizing your phone hence you cannot flash it.
Device not found.
Try this driver
and install with global generic and follow the x10flash.bat procedure.1
me I unbrick my x10 with this method
Really i don't have solution for you but i had allmost same problem. My x10 was briked 2 months and it rebooted allmost every minute. I tried everything above. Nothing worked. And my warranty papers are gone. But i managed to get it to the warranty, without papers and they flashed it somehow. And i really tried everything.
Oh, and i had water damage too. There is little white water dedector and it had red tots. I'm suprised that SE gaved me new phone.

Select firmware location at the top of where the files are, and choose desktop from the side. btw, use flashtool 2.9.1 beta... or whatever the lastest is. it has a thingy at the top where it says firmware location. choose desktop and okay. then your fw should be listed and tada lemme know if i helped!

Need tool to access my phone via PC
I have accidentally installed a theme that is probably of higher resolution than my phone screen. Now in locked mode the unlocking option/pattern/graphics is not visible as it is 'spilling out of screen'. Android debugging is on in my device (thankfully). Please suggest me a tool/method using which i can control the phone using PC(or atleast unlock the phone). I (obviously) cannot install anything on my phone, i found some such apps that need installation on phone.
Last option is to flash my phone in recovery with a ROM, but i dont want to do that if other ways possible. my phone is on MIUI ROM developed on 26/9/12
I don't know why we need this
i want to reinstall everything on my phone and i can't do it it just close it self and get's me back to the main menu same if i do repair or upgrade please help
hi, let say the phone out of box is ICS and I updated to JB. If i use repair, it restore to ICS or JB?

Download "Sony Update Service" and restore your Sony Xperia E dual to original firmware again.
This will remove root access ( which you can apply again later).
For more detailed information you could ask for support in the Sony Xperia E forum as they'll have more information to provide than us in the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i forum

By all means, I'm dumb, so to get this clear, this means that, if he repairs his phone, the original firmware that came with the phone will be installed or it will just reinstall the newest update available?
Sorry... let's say I'm a bit frustrated with something dumb I did and I want to see if I can revert back XD...
THanks in advance guys
I'm quite sure that it installs the latest official Sony Ericsson firmware.
I've done it before, after softbricking my phone and it works perfectly. But after restoring you do need to unlock the bootloader again and root the phone before you can continue with installing a custom ROM.
With the flashtool provided, it is a piece of cake.

first read this

then try this guide

:good:
If i can't acces not fastboot mode or flash mode? i just stuck with red light when i connect the phone to usb. volume up + cable or volume down + cable don't work.
Same here, I guess the boot is damaged.
Last night i suspected that the battery is dead, so I opened the device and disconnected the battery then tested it with MultiMeter, but the battery was doing fine.
anyway, I tried MTK Droid Tools, SP Flash Tool, SP Multi Port Download, Androxyde Flashtool, Sony PC Companion, All seems not able to detect the device.
in windows Device Manager when i connect the device it's shown as COM port.
When I plug the phone into charger or pc the notification light turns RED.
When I press the power button a faint red light appears in proximity sensor.
That's it.
I'm searching currently for TEST Points for the C5 Ultra Dual, I'm willing to try the "Emergency Flashmode", So, PLZ HELP

I see I'm not the only one here, it's realy gives me hope to repair it. I will try with RIFF box to repair the boot, but as you said there are no test point on the main board
UPD:
No test point on the main board, i have removed the main board from the phone and tried all points on it, no changes, still the COM port.

I'm fixing the device for a friend of mine, anyway, I have xperia mini pro that I unlocked via testpoint method a long time ago
I searched the internet to look for more info about Testpoints, Is it related to chipset or is it a special mode related to sony devices
anyway I'm willing to figure out the testpoint on E5533 by using the multimeter and see if the test point have some sort of different voltage on the mini pro, then I'll do the same with C5U to locate the test point (If exist at all)
I'll update as soon as i have results
regards

Is there some test point ? Someone had tried to test it via Se or S1 Tools???
I'm without my phone, someone tested ?
I'll test it because right now I don't have a screw to disassemble the phone.
When I do it I'll post...
Can someone link me S1Tools and the drivers?
I am lost, only found very old versions of S1Tools and I have no idea what drivers are needed and where to find them.
At least my c5 lies open infront of me
drivers for companium....
I tested a little with my open phone, shortcutted Mass with either 1 2 3 and 4

and connected the USB Plug again. But nothing happened, I constantly got the same device reconized, also it reconnects atfer about 45sec again.
S1Tools gave me failures at my "Patch SECMBoot" attempts when the device reconnects automatically.
On other tutorials they stated that you should have some SEMC device connected.
Can somebody check aswell?
