Hi there.
Sorry about this thread if it has been disscused but I searched here a little and I didn't found something similar to my problem.
I bought my phone last summer in 2010 from Wien , Austria.
I decoded it here in Romania.
3 days ago I upgraded to 2.1...All good , but a few hours ago the phone was charging and someone called me , I answered talked for 10-15 sec then it turned off. I tried to take out battery , sim , memory card for 5-10 min but it didn't turned on , it was only vibrating.I tried to update again but it was only failing.I tried to take out battery etc etc...only vibrating.
Please help me ! Thanks.

Thanks for this quick reply.There is one problem : ME .
I'm new to this x10 experience.
Don't have knowledge about cell phones their programs and stuff like that.
I searched a bit on google about flashing and really don't want to f**k this up.
Can you please give me a link or explain how I can do what you wrote above?

---

Try the power button.

---

So I downloaded the flash tool read all there but the problem is I can't turn on my phone to see the baseband...

---

When you try to turn it on does the led just flash red? Mine just did this and the problem is the battery was dead. For some reason it didn't charge while plugged into my laptop. I don't know why, but I had to charge it in my car. Not sure if it has something to do with my battery or from when I flashed/rooted to 2.1 a week ago. Been working fine until today.

The battery is full i just tried to charge it is GREEN and then it turns off just like when it's full.So what can i do about the baseband?

Nu fi nervos pe telefon !! Nu el este de vina in cele mai multe cazuri, ci utilizatorul !
Acum ca sa te ajut uite ce trebuie sa faci mai intai verifica daca iti intra in flashmode, daca da atunci =>next da se poate rezolva.
Lasa chestia aia cu flashtool-ul daca nu sti basebandul, poti sa sari peste ea folosind softul original de la SE, SEUS acesta recunoaste automat ce baseband ai si iti downloadeaza firmwareul corect. Insa trebuie sa ii dai repair sa iti instaleze de la 0 tot romul, insa vei pierde toate datele.
daca nu si nici nu porneste=> atunci e de rau si trebuie sa duci telefonul in service, si ori ai stricat bootloaderul sau sa dus ceva hardware, oricum la nici unu nu ai acces deocamdata.
Sorry for that how not understand what i wrote, the men is really pissed off, and try to explain how to solve a solution in the native language.

Mersi sa vad ce rezolv revin cu un PM sau reply.

Well the problem began when the phone was charging , someone called me , i answered , we talked for 10-15 seconds and then the phone turned off. I tried to turn it on but nothing. I didn't tried to flash or something like that instead i tried to install 2.1 again and again with update service from Sony Ericsson. I waited for a few days 2-3 days I guess and tried in these days to update him but was always failing.Yesterday my battery went red , I charged it and updated and it was a succes ! And then i was able to turn it on !
Hope it will be useful for you too.

Hi when the phone wasn't turning on did it connect to the computer at all? [Mine didn't]

Sony Ericsson Update Service
Hi,
Please have a look at the SEUS software for your phone.
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/updateservice?cc=gb&lc=en
Download this and use it to restore your phone to an original state if something went wrong during an update or it has crashed totally and the phone is unusable. It will work!
If you want to customize your phone and use Flashtool to load a custom rom or firmware onto your device, you will need to have it in a working state to begin with and know which basebad you are running.

how can i update some software from SUES...flash it or do anything....if the phone is not detecting on my computer?
my phone was only vibrating for a sec when i switch it on till past few hours...no red light or green light...
but from past few mins i see red light blinking 3 times when i try to switch it on...and no display...and if i connect a charger(which i did for several hours) and the phone was only blinking red all the time..but there is no charge in the phone...
now there is no vibration but the red light blinks infinitely as i charge my phone...but no display when i turn it on....
is this a known issue? how do i flash it or update the software using SEUS on my phone in this condition?? because the phone wont turn on or detect on my computer... http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

My x10 has done this before, it does it when you drain you battery below a certain voltage, which is too low for the phone to begin charging it again. You could try putting your battery in a dock to charge it. All i did was cut the end off a usb cable, stripped the positive and negative wires and just held them against the batteries terminals for ten minutes white the other end of the cable was plugged into the computer. Put the battery back in my phone and it had 20% charge.
