Hello I have researched many sites and I have no found a solution:
the x10i, an international x10 has a common problem: it will start up with a vibration and have a black screen still. It won't boot up. Has ANYONE found a solution this problem?
Any technicians out there that want to impart their knowledge? My phone has not been working well over a month. Is there any technicians you can refer me to? PLEASE, I am need of help. No one on the internet has solutions and I am unable to get the information to the international warranty.
If anyone has the information to the international warranty for Sony Ericsson please tell me. Thank you.
Can the phone boot up into FLASH MODE? Like for using repair for seus?
Start up seus
Hook usb cord to computer. When it says to.
Press and hold back space on x10 and insert usb cable into phone. And follow directions on computer screen.
U know what seus is right?
A program by sony ericsson u can download of their website

Hi when I use the SEUS my phone is "not connected". My computer will not recognize the phone no matter what I do. I have left it charging [although I do not know if it is charging, there is no screen display at all] and it is still not recognized on my computer.
My last solution is try flashtool but at least try it before u think about turning in your phone to repair or something
Flashtool connects the same way but it connects through a different program.
Flashtool is availible through the x10 development section.
It may not work though since ur phone isnt reconized by the computer. But try all solutions the site provides here

I really don't feel comfortable flashing my phone because I would have to root it first. I'd like my warranty to still be intact.
Are there any other options?
Flashtool i believe DOESNT RUIN WARRANTY correct me if i am wrong other xda members, but it will flash the latest sony hardware to your phone. Its the same hardware from seus but u get to pick the baseband version and build number of your choice. This erases all data off phone so this isnt rooting.
Seues flashes firmware too.
Xrecovery flashes ROMS

My concern is that the phone is not being recognized at all by the computer. Not too sure flashing it will happen in the first place.
But did u try it? Sometimes flashtool reconizes differently than seus in my opinion

Thank you but firstly does anyone know if flashing voids warranty?
It shouldnt since its SE firmware from SE but flashtool puts it on ur phone for you
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
It doesnt void warranty.. nor does rooting or anything else atm for that matter.. because everything you do on the x10 is reverisble (as long as the bootloader aint cracked.. even the bypass which they are experimenting with now wont cause any harm)
And one way to reverse it is using flashtool and an original se ROM. But if even flashtool doesnt recognize your phone, then i suggest you use your precious warranty...

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?

is there any chance that because i'm using win 7 64 bit it causes problems?

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.

My x10 its on 2.1 ofc
It keep restarting for no reason, i tried to hard reset it but no chance.
Then i tried another Sim card and memory card but still no chance.
Then i tried the repair in sony companion, it said no repair for this version.
It keeps closing/restarting when charging, running apps, texting, downloading.
Thanks for replying and helping!
SEUS always has an option to reinstall the 2.1 FW..are you sure you haven't overlooked it.
or you can try using the flash tool to update one of the FWs availabled in the dev section..
Already tried to reinstall with SEUS but not working and pretty sure i havent overlooked it.
Thanks for helping though
Do you have xrecovery installed? If so you can try flashing a new generic ROM. There are a list of custom and generic roms on "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987795". I hope this helps.
If nothing else attempt installing a basebrand AND a firmware that you know are compatible with one another via the latest flashtool.
I will try what u guys said, i will be back with the result ! ty
Just flash the newest generic 2.1 firmware via flashtool
i think its the .435 - that's baseband 54
im on bb 54 too, but i use wolf's cm 2.2
cheers

There is a repair button on SEUS which will reflash the device... I'm pretty sure it appears when it says that there is phone is updated, or there is no update (sorry, don't remember exactly, last time I used SEUS was a good 3 or 4 months ago...
Anyways, I think your best bet would be flashtool...
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Its pretty hard to flash it or repair it when.. i connected it to my computer it keeps restarting.
Anyone got some suggestion?
you did switch off your phone before connecting it to the comp right? Just make sure you hold the back key while connecting the phone when the flash tool or seus prompts you.
I did switch it off b4 connecting and hold back key but still didn't work out.
The fact is.. it keeps restarting anytime.After the back key, it might open out and end up closing after a few seconds. :S
Oops, you kight have chosen to keep your user data whilst upgrading from 1.6 to 2.1, which resulted to all these issues. I would imagine that it would almost be impossible to boot into flash mode when your phone is always rebooting.
Ok.
1. Take your battery out.
2. Hold the back button. Make SEUS running and ready.
3. Plug it into the computer.
4. Put your bateery back in.
Follow the instructions. Hopefully it would work and good luck
If it worked dont forget to hit thanks.

Hi Guys, please help me! I deleted some systemfile, now I can't boot up my MINI PRO, it stuck at Sony Ericsson boot animation. I know I should reflash using flashtool... the problem is, flashtool requires "Unknown sources" + "USB Debugging" enabled, and this is not the case. What can I do now?
Try to plug in ur device wen it says to plug in while flashing it works try 2_3 tyms it will work!!

I've already said you to use wotanserver on another thread, you dont seem to listen
When flashtool can't flash device or break in the middle of flashing it is due to usb drivers of your computer, and no way you can flash your device no matter if usb debbuging is off or on. In that case you must use other computer with different chipset and different usb drivers. I think AMD chipsets cause this kind of problems.
But remember SE original program!! It always work, althought they say: I had problems when I flashed by first time a custom rom with the boot.img, and I used the program with the unlocke bootloader like 6 times, and nothing bad happened. Believe me!

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........

I installed a Rom that went wrong and had to use flashmode with sony's update program, not sure how it's called these days. I if you install that and plug it into the pc holding down the Back button, it recognizes it and will all you what you want to do. Select restore (or something similar). It'll restore it back to 2.3.3. After that you can install xRecovery again with flash tool.
Be aware that this worked for my semi bricked X10i, no guarantee it'll work for you ofcourse.......good luck
