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...

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.

Hey guys,i got an x10i, wit 1.6 firmware and wanted to update to 2.1. I saw the option of update in the phone menu,so i tried it and it actually found update and downloaded it.but after the restart i got exclamation mark and no boot.the phone has no warranty so can i fix it my self?

Reconnect the phone to SEUS and run " repair " option, should reflash the phone.
Try taking the battery out first and let the phone set a bit, reinstall batt and see if she boots up, remember, 1st boot takes a few minutes after you flash new firm ware.....
Best regards,
Chris
I took the battery out long time ago.havent tried yet.One more wuestion.is there a recovery built in?or a factory reset?and how to fo this if i neef to.
Thanks a lot
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Depends on where and how you upgraded to new firmware, if it was thru seus / pc companion, then you just have factory firmware, no recovery.
If you used the flash tool from XDA and picked the firmware on that page, and installed xrecovery, then yes you have it. Clear as mud, sorry.
IF you have to run the seus pc companion to " repair " the phone, you will have only factory sony firmware. You can search for the firm ware # and flash tool , instructions, root methods, xrecovery, all are on xda!
Hope this helps,
Chris
As i said i used the phone menu for this update.No seus,no pc companion,just update through the phone menu and wireless network.
i downloaded seus and and it sais:
Failed checking application versions, please reinstall the application and make sure you have the latest version
what is this now?
Any link for the right one?
Thanks again
try the repair option on seus, comes up when u first connect the phone to pc companion,

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?

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

Sounds like what happend to me when flashing custom kernels to MIUI ROMs.
Something wrong with the chargemon with the problem I was having.
But for you. Dunno.
You've tried re-flashing firmware but cannot get flashtool to recognize your phone?
Try taking the battery out, then get flashtool set up, plug everything in and hold the back button, and then put the battery back in and continue to hold the back button.
Sometimes, it takes a bit for the 'puter to recognize the phone with flashtool because it's had the USB ID re-assigned. Mine (on windows 7) will re-install the USB driver when I'm having severe issues.

also, i was gonna suggest reboot your darn x64 bit comp, and the take out your ****fy battery, and then plug your usb cable in the hole and hold the back button and reflash with flashtool, but when it says flashing, then insert battery while still holding the back button. its a common issue after one flash for x64. happened to me several times, when the x64 bit comp won't detect, so i had to reboot.
now, MOD PLEASE MOVE
Moved to proper forum.
that is interesting information to know. i will definitely keep that in mind when flashing in the future. appreciate that

Check the firmware or flash tool thread here or in the development forum.
I tried that too same result . What kind of forum is this no gurus or experts here who can give an expert advice or suggestion. Too much disappionted
only another "amateur" suggestion i'm afraid.
1) pull out battery (leave for 30 secs)
2) replace battery/DO NOT turn on
3) download a fresh install of SEUS.
4) run SEUS and follow instructions, complete as instructed.
5a) turn on phone, if fixed - yipee,
5b) if not - plug into usb and see if device shows in "computer"
6) (if 5b=yes) you know the phone is at least "contactable". good place to start for further troubleshooting.
7) post your results and be patient my friend, xda (x10) is currently up to its knees in new toys (unlocked bootloader) so people might take a moment to answer you.
hit thanks if i helped, seems my count is low no idea why, i think i'm helpful
Again I installed the fresh SEUS and did as instructed and no luck same result. It completely downloads the firmware but when it comes to installing the firmware its aborts. When i connect X10i to the pc it detects it as "SMEC Flash device" in device manager.
Further instruction needed

Debug mode has to be turned on in application settings in order for flash tool to be able to root the phone. Therefore all settings except flash option will be disabled.

I'm not looking for how to do It..... Read the question before you post. I appreciate you trying to help, but at least understand what the question Is first.
I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.
