and generic firmware

Ok, i had to do this twice now, as i bricked it a couple of weeks ago
you'll have to reflash with sony ericsson update service here:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/supp...10?cc=gb&lc=en
Follow the instructions and press the back button before plugging in the cable.
Download the software and keep in mind that playing around with roms will result in these problems so don't go too far.
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 button.

[Q] 3 problems in my x10

Hi all. I have multiple problems in my x10i.it has 2.1 It was rooted and worked fine..few days ago I tried to wipe the phone and did the master reset via xrecovery ..after the restart it just hanged at the boot logo and xrecovery is not working from then....I wanted to update with SEUS via USB... but the phone is not connecting as well...What should I do? PLZ HELP ME GUYZ........
Hi,
Seus doesn't recognize your x10 even if you hold back button while plugging usb (flash mode) ?
This week my x10 2.1 crashed (I suppose it was because of rooting with superoneclick without rebooting immediatly), and wasn't recognized by windows. It was in a loop turnig on/off and only putting off battery could turn it off really. Big Problem.
The only solution I found : putting off battery, pluggin usb cable, holding back button and putting on battery. Back button still hold (like flash mode) until seus recognize x10. Then it runs alone and install rom (after I rooted with flashtools and launched jit optimisation, witch increase truely x10 performances!).
Probably seus not recognize your phone because you have a rooted and custom firmware in your x10 and xrecovery is not working because you did a reset and then you delete some files from your phone, you can reinstall it with the x10flashtool or to make a complete restore firmware whit the same x10flashtool
If SEUS/PCC doesn`t recognize your phone, remove them from PC and reinstall them.
You have an USB driver problem

Did you wait for at least 30 seconds before putting battery inside phone (to make sure clearing all memories? And sure you hold back button before, during and after?
Otherwise, what does happen if you press and hold volume button before turning on the phone (and keep volume button hold)?

Well your usb is definitly working then as its glowin green?..
Are you sure you are doing it all right? It happened the same to me, and it ended I was pressing the wrong buttom (I knew which one was the correct one, but was blind cause I was scared that Ive broke it totally), a day later I noticed it and I was able to flash my phone.
However, read a guide and follow it step by step, reinstall everything and start from beginning maybe?
Or use the repair function with PC Companion
Hi! I had the same problem!
1. Search and download from this forum Flashtool 0.2.6
2. Install it.
3. Download from this forum one generic ROM (for exemple X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 )
4. Put the file in directory Flashtool/firmware
5. Launch X10flashtool.exe
6. DO NOT PUT THE USB CABLE IN THE PHONE
7.From option "flash select the desired ROM
8. Wait the program to begin(a picture will appear)
9. Pressing the back button, insert the usb cable.
10. Wait the flashing to begin and release the back button.
Follow instructions and WAIT around 5 minutes until flashing will complete
11. Send me two words if it helps you! Success!

the flashtool stilll doesnt pick up the phone at all what do i doo???
You messed up the partitions when you were messing around with xRecovery.
Start from scratch.
Do not use PC Companion. Download SEUS from Sony and reinstall/repair/flash back to stock.
Then try again. Turn on Unknown Sources, and Debug mode
Go through Flash Tool again...root....click button to install xRecovery apk....then in the flashtool menu, chose to to start in xRecovery mode.
If flashtool doesn't detect the phone at all....then make sure you are using the original USB cord, and try using another USB port on your computer.
ok ill try it!

The problem isn't the phone.
This time, remove the back and battery from the phone.
plug the USB cable into the phone and computer....then at the point during the SEUS repair where it asks to plug the phone in and hold the back button, hold the back button and stick the battery back in the phone.
The LED on the phone I believe will flash.
SEUS will say it's installing or updating.
If problem still persists, use a different USB port.
The USB port on the side of my laptop worked 3 out of 4 times. The one's on the back haven't failed me once.

Hello,
A friend of mine took his phone to a shop to have it unlocked.
Well not a success story.
He got back, the black light is on but the phone does not seem to do anything and does not respond any button, short, long press, we tried.
Sorry tech data : xperia mini, he thinks it did run 2.1
Please give us hints to:
1. recover his phone
2. unlock it
Many thanks
Can you get it into flash mode (where the led is solid green) at all and then use seus to do a restore to clean stock rom?
Sent from my X10 Mini Pro using XDA App
Download, sony ericsson update service (not pc companion), switch off phone completely, start seus, connect usb cable to computer, with phone off hold the back button while connecting usb to phone, even if phone says its got latest update click next and it should re-install android 2.1
Sent from my X10 Mini Pro using xda premium
It does not even respond to the power on button, seems as it's always powered on, but without anything appearing on the screen. As this type has built in battery we have to wait until the battery does discharge...
Also tried the official flasher, it does recognize the phone, but does not send it to recovery mode.

have you tried the fastboot method, it´s in android development, "all you need to know..."
try to flash official stock fw like .452 or .45 with flashtool..try to connect the phone in flashmode....hopefully everything will be alright...
PEACE
guys, phone is not able to boot in any mode, it be fastboot or flashmode! its completely dead thats what i meant earlier. After a lot of researching the whole night, i was able to figure out that the bootloader is that the UNIFLASH corrupted the bootloader. So how to fix that?
try this: make sure you have enough charge and the drivers of your phone are installed correctly. (flashtool drivers)
power+volume up wait till vibrates three times,
then connect your phone to pc.
run the flashtool and prepare the firmwares youre going to flash,
a screen will appear and says turn off your phone....etc
hold power button + volume up wait till vibrates three times
then quickly hold power button + volume down.
it will flash the firmware.
just keep on trying.

its simply not vibrating! i held that combination for like 5 minutes continuous last night, phone has to enter either fastboot or flashmode for flashtool to detect! none of them is coming up, and no LED again when its on charging. complete dead complete mess!
By the way, anyone knows how service center people update the phone's software?

would you please enplane what is JTAG and how it works ?
Had the same problem yesterday!
Maybe a noob advice but here what was my mistake: after switch off the phone with volume up, wait for like 30 second before trying to connect in flash mode. Though my phone was dead but just had to wait a little bit before trying the flash mode. Flashtool heal it!
Sorry for my poor english, I'm french and this is my first post, but I follow xda since a long time!

Hey mate, try this,
NOTE: THIS PROCESS WILL RELOCK UR BOOTLOADER AND ROOT WILL BE GONE
Step 1: Download Sony Ericsson update service software (SEUS) http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/supp...ro?cc=gb&lc=en
Step 2: Install it and open it
Step 3: Now do a hot reboot on the device by pressing and holding both the menu and power keys at the same time
Step 4: Without wasting even a single second press and hold the back button and connect your USB cable while holding Back
Step 5: Do not release the back key until the SEUS identifies your device. When it identifies your device, the update option will appear on your screen.
(It may say that you have a latest firmware already, but you click repair anyway and after the operation starts, You may release your back key.
Step 6: Wait until the update process gets finished and reboot your device now you will have a stock firmware with locked bootloader
:good: all the best

Got the same problem with my e10i using cm7. Try to fix that with flashing sony firmware, but only show the sony ericsson screen and start again, looks like can't boot the rom, but if i use cm7 again it freeze on nAa screen and i can't do anything.

not sure why your led doesn't come on (or does it but blinks maybe) but the symptoms described suggest the most likely cause of the malfunction is the dead lcd. This phone will not turn on completely without the LCD or with a faulty one so your best bet would be to replace the lcd with a known working one and see if that brings your phone back to life.
If seus see your phone which it does, according to your description then your problem is hardware, not software.

are you sure your phone's hardware is OK and the phone has never been water damaged? Because what you describe looks like power cycle malfunction which is usually caused by faulty hardware, while the software is totally OK.
