I've tried to boot in safe mode but it doesnt help, how to do solve this? Anybody got any tips of what i can do because this really sucks! Thanks!!!
the theme may be not applicable. the only way is reflash your rom by using se update service

thats right, you must reflash, but what did you wrong?
Reflash - only variant. In future, use xRecovery(search in this forum), he knows how to do full backup of the firmware, and all user data.
simple flashtool 0.2.9 will solve ur problems, look for it on developement forum

hi There
PLEASE HELP ASAP I THINK IV BROKE MY BELOVED X10
Im new to all this Mod stuff and i have no experience at ....... But I LOVE this Theme i found , its amazing!!!!!! so i rooted my phone using super oneclick, i then found RECOVERY, also got the theme [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM 2.0.2.A.0.24 + Battery Circle] [new-v0.6]
Installed everything it all and was great!! everything went smooth, but some things were missing on the theme like the new swipe button, the wallpaper, the new clock etc so...... i then installed a previous version [X.Gbread for 2.1 Custom ROM AOSP], thinking that version had the bits i needed and the later version i installed first was a add-on, and now the phone will not boot up, it gets past the Sony Ericsson but wont boot past the Nexus S Bootanimation, then it restarts itself, and starts all over again, i dont know what to do as i know NOTHING about flashing phones. PLEASE HELP
Phone specs - what i had before
X10i
2.1 Update1
build no. 2.0.A.0.504
Rooted with SuperOneClick
Also busybox
Many Thanks
Leon
************* update i can get the phone to the Xrecovery screen, ive tried reinstalling both of the themes but it gets to the lock screen and when the lock comes off, a box comes up with a triangle exclamation mark on it that says 'Weeks' on it and underneath it says "year" with a button that says "%1$s %2$s" and when you press it nothing happens apart from sometimes the writing year changes to years, after a minute it reboots and does the same thing.
does anybody know how i could sort this out???
Have i 'bricked' the phone?? if so what does that mean and can i sort it?? would i be able to send it in for repair??
or how i could i flash i back to the original SE theme, with out it starting up????
hopefully somebody can save me because at the moment i have not got a phone and i love my x10 sooooo much!!!!!!
i knew i should have just left it alone!!!!!!!!
Thanks Leon
i would recommend you to do
1. a full wipe using the recovery
2. re-install the theme u wanted. (perhaps u should re-download the theme u wanted)
btw, did u install using the option "install custom zip"?
if those above does not helps,
1. re-install the firmware using SEUS or flashtools from Bin4ry
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201&highlight=flash.
2. root it and install xRecovery and then install the themes u wanted.
You'll have to really flash. The problem here was that you mixed up to FW (.24 & .504) when you installed the first theme... it clearly says for which version it is my friend....
So reflash to any ROM you want but check first the theme you're aplying and also if you have Xrecovery do a backup before any Mod so you don't have to reflash again...
Have fun you're not the first nor the last with this I've been there done that more than once....

i was thinking a full wipe but im sure i read somewhere on this thread that it needs something to work like a basis program and cant work from nothing (sorry im not techinical) - if you think it will be best to do that then i will. oh and yes i did install using the option "install custom zip"
thanks

I have done a full wipe then installed [X.Gbread for 2.1 Official ROM] from sd card.
I believe for my version no. 2.0.A.0.504 it came up with the same box as before, unable to get onto my homescreen but can see it in the background.
i dont know if i will be able to reinstall the SE firmware as it looks very complicated. im in England and it looks like i would have to use the Nordic software???? im not sure please could somebody let me know of any easier way of installing SE firmware back on???
thanks you so much for this

Hello!
I got problem with my Xperia X10i, I don´t know what to do.
Just some few hours ago i installed:
[ROM] [29-07] TripNMiUI "Iris" 1.8.3 Froyo!
h t t p ://android.modaco.com/topic/342875-rom-29-07-tripnmiui-iris-183-froyo-heading-for-20/
And it worked perfect, But then after that i installed Free Kernel 3.63 with Xrecovery like the ROM with misstake..
Free Kernel 3.63
And now my phone wont work, It starts and works to the "lockscreen" but then after that a error message pops up and stands that the system process doesnt answer after i unlock and after that it restarts. And Xrecovery wont start after the "Sony Ericsson" text.
I dont know what to do, If my phone is broke or if this can be fixed!
But please can someone help me!? I would be Grateful forever! and sorry for my bad english!!!
- Have a great day!
Here is how you get back to 2.1
Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download the flash tool and the firmware you want and flash back to 2.1 and reinstall trip's miui rom.
Did you download the correct kernel for the rom you were using? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112745 has 2 froyo kernels. One for froyo and one for Miui.
Good luck my friend
1. Try flashing a normal kernel via Flashtool, seeing if this is corrected
2. Reinstall xrecovery before FC ? via Flashtool
3. Reinstall via SEUS ?
How can install something when i cant get into Xrecovery or connect my phone to the computer? .. My phone only can charge. Or is it only me doing something wrong? .. Im pressing the back button when the "Sony Ericsson" Text is shown. I dont know what to do

Again, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download the flashtool:http://www.multiupload.com/GYL7A7XQBT
and the 2.1 firmware:http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
Install the flashtool, put the firmware in the firmware folder and then follow the instructions in the thread.
This will wipe all your data and revert your phone back to 2.1. The flashtool can root and install xRecovery allowing you to install The miui rom again getting you back to where you were before you flashed the kernel.
Oh ok. ill try this! Thanks for the help. Sorry for understand directly.
Don't worry I just hope your phone gets up and running again soon!
Help I tried reflashing WB 6 Rom and then removed the battery cause nothing would happen and now its stuck on a bootloop, i tried to load into Xrecovery but it won't. I'm desperate please.

I did notice that when flashing WB6 it would to a long time without any indication in the progress bar. If you would have waited, it eventually would have finished. Your best bet would be to reflash a complete ftf package with flashtool, root and reinstall xrecovery. you can then proceed to flash wb6 or restore the backup I know you took before you attempted to flash
Normally on WB's custom boot animation, the progress bar disappears after it fills up, then it's just a matter of waiting. Yes, it can take a while. If the progress bar restarts instead of disappearing then it's a boot loop, but this was not specified by the OP so I don't know.
I agree though, since Xrecovery is inaccessible, Flashtool is the way to go.
For reference, OP, which version of v6 did you flash? If it was v6c, Doomkernel can cause boot hangups on some devices.
Alright I will do a .ftf installation but where can I find the thread linking to that?

See the Flashtool guide sticky at the top if the page. You'll be able to find everything you need there.

Hello
I've installed the [ROM] MiniCM7-2.1.9 following this steps
i've previously installed a CWM
restart in recovery
wiped data/reset factory
wiped battery
wiped all ...
install Rom
install gapp
and now my phone doesn't goes to recovery and all i get is a black screen whit "Sony Ericsson" legend
please some help.
i post here, because i haven't permissions to post in the developer forum asking for help in the thread
sorry about my bad english
Did you unlock your bootloader using Flashtool?
You also need the latest version of nAa kernel installed.
Thanks for the answer
I didn't unlock my bootloader using Flashtool i haven't do that before and didn't read the installing instructions for doing that my fault
and didn't installed nAa kernel, because i think didn't need to install the kernel obligatorily
is anything i can do to solve this problem ??
You do need the nAa kernel to run MiniCM7, it just won't work without it. Next time you think about installing a rom, make sure you read all the instructions first. Especially if you're using custom kernels as that's a good way to give your phone a real hard brick.
What you've got is a soft brick. The phone still works, it just doesn't work as a phone. A hard brick is when your phone doesn't do anything at all. Which is bad.
All you need to do is download and use Sony Ericsson Update Service. This updates your phone to the latest, official firmware. If it complains that you already have it, choose the option to reinstall it anyway.
This will wipe all the data on your phone, but not your sdcard, so you'll lose your contacts, sms's, etc but you backed up anyway, didn't you?
thanks Ticklefish for the answer
i did that and now i've my phone back =D
Mine wont do that :-/
When i follow your steps Ticklefish i cant connect to the phone. it pops up with a message that tells me to pull down the status line which i cant because i only gets to the Sony Ericsson boot logo.
Got any tips for me?
thanks in advance

Hi!
Its my first topic on this forum so i wanted to say welcome to everybody in first place. I would like to mention that my X10i is my first android phone so im completely new with that things.
Stock soft from sony doesnt fitted me i decided to change it. First i managed to root, install xrecovery and all that stuff with a huge help of guides on this forum. Tested some custom roms and finally i saw a jellybean. I thought: I want it! So i tried to follow instruction mentioned in topic (jellybean kickass edition). Occurred problem while flashing cm10, read to try flashing cm9 first - same. Recovered to stock 2.3.3 with xrecovery and tried to flash again. And here I am. I cant get into xrecovery now, just stuck on se logo and even my pc dont recognize x10 when it in flash mode.
Is there any way to fix that? Plis help because phone is out of guaranty.
Edit: Fortunately i manage to restore soft with PCC so topic is for close/del.

Yeap, PCC helped but when my phone had not been recognise by PC when it was in Flash Mode i paniced and wrote on forum. Then i rebooted my PC and there was no trouble with recovery.
Taking the opportunity i would like to ask some more q.
1. I want to install CM10 on my x10 but i encountered some trouble. Do i need unlocked boot loader to to this? I've tried FT bootunlocer but i dont know is it was successfully or not. How to check it? Currently im running on cm7 and stock kernel rooted of course.
Thanks
