Anyone know what I need to do to fix this? Phone doesn't boot up past the sony ericsson screen and seus/pc companion will connect but won't flash the global generic 2.1 and I can't get flashtool 2.9.1 to flash the x10 generic 2.1.A.0.435 either? I updated Wolfbreaks CM 6.1.3 V05 + update V054 to his new V06 update. I got alot of force closes so i attempted to wipe everything and flash Generic 2.1.A.0435 so after that i did reboot flashed Wolfbreaks V05 + update V06 and reboot, restored apps and data using MyBackup + root and Titanium + root then started having force closes again so i thought i would forget this update and go back to V05 + update 054 since it works great. that is when i did a reboot to enter Xrecovery but the phone wouldn't enter Xrecovery and is now stuck on the sony ericsson boot screen. The only way to turn it off is to pull the battery. I haven't seen any red led lights on the phone at all. Anyone have any advice? I'm stuck. if any needs more info just ask.
Btw is this what "soft bricking" a X10 is? that's what i was told.
guys I was able to finally get my phone to stay in flash mode long enough to prepare my X10 using SEUS after trying about 50 times. It didn't completely finish the update/flashing of Global 2.1 before giving me a error but i believe that the "preparing stage" was able to help get the phone to stay in flash mode longer because the green light wouldn't stay on very long. So i was beginning to think i had a bad usb jack on the phone, luckily that wasn't it. I also tried Flashtool 2.9.1 with no success. I then got the idea to try my the older 2.6 flashtool that i still had on my computer and to my surprise it worked. I was able to flash generic 2.1.A.0.435 firmware, root, optimize and Xrecovery. I talked to The Gingerbread Man and he directed me to his X10 guide which is where i got the idea to try the 2.6 flashtool. Oh and I am pretty sure what i did wrong was restoring data after flashing the V06 update. Wolfbreak specifically states NOT to restore data ONLY apps which i didn't see at first. Hope this helps anyone that has experienced these symptoms because i didn't find any posts of my exact situation when i was searching for answers.

dude chill out, our beloved x10 is unbrickable till date..!!
make sure you have prover usb drivers for x10 to be recognized by flashtool!!
if yes make sure you're entering the flash mode correctly..!!
ok. Question. I have the same problem, my X10 had the new CM7 k005 on it. then I tried to flash back to bb 49 to put Trips 2.3.3 on it. flashed the back to stock kernel. NOW. all I get is re-boot re-boot, finally all it does is stay on the se screen with no love at all from seus??? And it wont go into xrecovery at ALL
HEEEEELLLPPP MMMEEEEEEEEEEE
Seus picks up the in flash mode.
Get Seus ready "select your phone.."
Just switch off your phone.
Hold "back" & Plug in the usb into the phone at the same time.
A green LED should show.
Then after it has flashed the phone might act a bit "glitchy" just give it a few hours to settle the Baseband.
isnt there already a million topics about people bricking x10s, its impossible the x10 cannot be bricked....search the forum
yeah there is but this was the first one I found to hijack!! anyway, I had to keep prssing update about ten times on seus before it got sick of me and gave me another option of which phone I was trying to repair!! thats how bad I had it stuffed up.
Anyhoo, a while later and it is all good!!

I was updating to FreeX10 2.2 Beta 4 .. Flashed the new FW .435 from stock RoM thread.
Well, here is my predicament. I can't get any further then the Sony Ericson logo. I have tried entering xRecovery to no success.
I was running Blue Sparks custom RoM before I attempted this.
Before Blue Sparks I was running Z's first beta of 2.2 and had no problems with installing and using it, I just reverted back to 2.1 because of the amount of bugs "no offense it was just Beta 1 ".
I am just trying to get my phone back up and running and am having an extreme problem of not being able to access anything to do so.
SEUS will not detect the phone under flash mode. Flash Tool will not connect. I have taken SIM Card and SD Card out, left the battery out now for over an hour and still nothing.
Any information on what to do would be greatly appreciated.
PS, I know this is completely in the wrong thread but seeing as how I never posted anythign before or ever had any problems my post count is not high enough to respond to anything under the Development Tab .. I just read everything you devs post and follow instructions.
Xperia X10a
Blue Sparks
Mod: xKrisx
had the same problem, some themes are not ready for the newest fw
check for updates on the threads or install a fw using any flash tool
The problem is not the custom rom. Blue Sparks ran on 2.0.2.A.0.24. To update to the current Beta 4 of FreeX10 2.2 I needed to upgrade my build to the current one, .435.
So with updating, I flashed X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL and updated the Base Band by flashing the amss file for it.
After completing the above two steps, I was no longer running Blue Sparks. It was a generic version of .435.
Now is were my problems began. I placed both zip files on my SD Card " Beta4 and gapps" and flashed both through xrecovery.
My phone rebooted and now it gets hung on the Sony Ericson logo during boot up and will not go anyfurther. I cannot access Xrecovery / I cannot enter Flash Mode. I am losted and have no idea of what to do to restore my phone.
Happend to me to because i flashed beta 4 and then gapps right after. I found that flashing beta 4 only then reboot phone let it boot then flash gapps after i got phone working. Thats what i did to get it working
EDIT: when se logo comes just rapidly press the back button until xrecovery pops up tryid one time where i was clicking for more than 30 sec before it came up

Thats my problem though, I cannot get into Xrecovery.. It stays hung at Sony Ericson logo period. It has sat there for the better part of an hour to no avail. I tried to connect back to SEUS and just retore back to default but I cannot get the phone into Flash mode either.
I took the phone back to At&t and I think my 5 year old son has more knowledge then they do, it was ****in pointless..
Step one:
turn phone on
step two:
Screen never illuminates
step three :
you can see a monochrome outline of the Sony Ericson logo
step four :
Screen illuminates and Sony Ericson logo is clear visable.
step five :
there isn't one cause it never goes any further then this.
________________________
when trying to enter flash mode
Step one ..
hold down back button
step two .
insert usb cord
step three
wait for green light to stay on.
step four .
Green light flashes three times and phone turns back off..

Can someone just tell me that I have royaly ****ed my phone up so I can just go throw it in the toilet and clame insurance on it ?
Leave USB cale plugged both ends, remove battery, while holding back button reinsert battery. Should now be in flash mode.
try flashing from older flash tool where a connect button appears.
click connect..insert d cable with back key pressed and click on ok..
or
try getting in flash mode using seus..
if both doesnt work there must be problem with back button i guess..
(remember to install gordongate driver from flashtool/driver)..
and if u succeed in getting in flash mode then upadate d whole firmware to .435..not just d baseband..
then format system,cache,data thru xrecovery and install b4.
all d best.
have the same exact issue, but mine was due to using format/system option in xrecovery i press on it by mistake thinking it was the option above it..... i am lost with a beatiful xperia x10 not working past sony ericsson logo like you..........anyone to our rescue????? ill sure buy them a beer!

Hi everyone
yesterday I bought a X10 (it wasn't brand new)
I turned it on and it asked me for settings (language, time, etc) (yeah it's not new but they changed the rom before sell it to me)
I worked with it for like 10-15min and I got a big vibrate and it turned off. I pluged it into the charger, there was an orange led for 5min and then nothing, when I tried to turn the phone on I saw SE logo and it restarted. I plugged it to the charger, nothing again, not even orange led
I took it to a store and they shocked the battery, i came back, turned it on, it booted ok everything was fine,I plugged it again to full charge. orange led for 1.5h and then green led.I worked with it a short time then turned it off to put the sim and sd card in
when I turned it on it booted till lock screen and rebooted. again SE logo then boot again
it sometimes boot till lock screen sometimes only se logo and reboot
when it goes to lock screen I see antena has red x on it, i thought maybe that's the problem, i removed sim and sd, still the same
Please please please help me
ps 1: I can't connect it to the pc, I tried but when pc wants to recognize it and install drivers, it stops and says "not successful"
Have a look in the dev section for flashtool (there's a tutorial in the q&a section), look in the firmwares sticky in the dev section and download the firmware for your region. I suggest you pick a generic firmware. Now use flashtool to flash the firmware to the phone.
This should solve the problem.
thank you Frosty for fast answer
but my problem is my pc dosen't recognize the phone
flashtool works even without drivers?
Flashtool works in flash mode. If you can't get your computer to recognise the phone when it is powered on, it should still recognise it in flash mode. If not, there is an option in flashtool to install the drivers.
Sent from my x10, rocking Wolf's 2.3.3 + DooMKernel, overclocked to 1.2 GHz...
good, so I think I still have a chance to fix it
btw, now I have stock 2.3.3 installed
which rom do you recommend? should I install 2.3.3 again or downgrade to 2.1?
I want it to support farsi
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
is right?
You could do 2.3.3 or 2.1. It shouldn't matter.
As for Farsi support, 2.1 supports more languages than 2.3.3 I think. I just checked the list of available languages on my 2.3.3 ROM and Farsi isn't listed. 2.1 might support it.
You could always try both to see which one better suits your needs.
That firmware you have is 2.3.3, by the way.
thank you so much frosty
I asked if i could install 2.3.3 because now have 2.3.3 and i have this problem. installing same version will fix it?
and one question about baseband
should i download one or it comes in firmware pack/zip
if I have to download it, how do I know which one?
Your're welcome.
Oh, in that case, you should be fine.
The baseband is included in the firmware file.
I'm facing a weird problem
I can't turn my phone on, I've been told to try flashtool and install a new rom
my old rom was 2.3.3
I downloaded flashtool and X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
first time I tried instrudoction in second post in this topic. it seems flashtool recognized my device and startet flashing but after a few min it said flash aborted
I wanted to try again but this time even before i connect the device to usb cable, flashtool say flashing start and nothing happen
I also tried SE update service, it downloaded the rom and it seem it worked (second green bar went to the end and said disconnect phone and restart)
I restart the phone but it reset after SE logo, sometime it boot till lock screen and reset again
Please help me
Sorry to say this, but you might be out of luck.
If re-flashing stock couldn't fix it, your issue may be a hardware problem.
Do you have any sort of warranty? If it's second hand, you probably don't.
You could try taking it to a Sony Ericsson service center and see if they can do anything.
omg
I'm officially beeeeeep
thanks anyway Frosty
btw, pc campanion and se update service do something different
is it possible that pc companion can fix it?
Well you could try. Couldn't hurt.
I may have posted in the wrong section and before you say there are topics covering this ive tried everything and im at my wits end!
I had a custom 2.2 ROM loaded on my Xperia for months but due to battery life issues i decided to upgrade to 2.3 (Wolf's) without doing much research.. Had i learnt that i needed to upgrade xRecovery to the latest release i wouldnt be in this dilemma.
I did the usual stuff when loading a new ROM but when loading the 2.3.3 ROM it failed.
Now when the phone starts up i get nothing but the SE logo!
Ive tried reflashing.
Ive tried using SEUS/PCC to update my phone - Which to no avail will the program recognize my phone for longer than 10 seconds.
Ive also tried SeTool2 and cant get my head around that.
If anyone has a fast easy fix for an idiot like me please point me in the right direction!
Should also add that i cant access xRecovery.
I am not trying to highjack this post but i am in the same position my phone is stuck in a loop on the black screen with the se logo.Flash tool or the se update service "sees" it for about 10 seconds not long enough to do anything.Please can anybody help?
A quick update i have sorted it i left it on se update and some how it went in to repair mode and i now have a working x10 again.The se repair didnt seem to be doing anything it just said please wait but i switched it on and it worked now i have to root it again lol
I think you should flash stock ROM 2.1 via flashtool, root and flash Xcr. Afterwards, you can follow the WOLF's instructions to flast TW ROM. Remember flash baseband .71
So i tried those things and still havn't gotten anywhere!
I cant flash the only thing i can do with flashtool is change the baseband and thats not very helpful to me atm!
I just wish there was an easy fix but apparently there isnt

You HAVE to change the baseband, otherwise it won't work! You need baseband .71, which is included in the flashtool package he says to use...

First of all sorry for not replying sooner as i have been very busy, i have to agree with hr7 i used the Sony Ericsson PC Companion and clicked on repair
Hi guys!
I have some problems with my X10i. First it all started with me wanted to go back to a previous backup with xRecovery. All this went wrong and got a message in xrecovery that it was not able to load sd-card. And then it was stuck on Sony Ericsson boot screen.
I got it flashed now, with Android 2.3, and wanted to root and install xRecovery, but when I start my phone and connect it to my comuter, it reboots. It wont stay on with USB connected to PC, so long till I can root.
I'm getting pretty irritated now.
What is wrong?
Hope you guys can help, and sorry for bad english.
Revert back to stock f/w pal u should be fine

Thank you for your answer.
But do you mean to restore to 2.1? When I downloaded flashtool I got 2.1 with the program, do you mean to restore with this flash that came with flashtool program?
Flash
Try fix it with seus
Okay.. I updated my phone to newest, 2.3.3.
After I had updated the sony program said that I had to wait for my phone to reboot and not take out my battery for the first time, but my phone did not reboot. Nothing happend after I disconnected the phone. When I pressed the power button it only blinked green one time, so I took out my battery and rebooted.
Everything went fine in the beginning, couple of reboots that I expected after new software, but now my phone reboots and reboots. Sometimes I can't even get to the screen where I unlock my phone before it reboots. And even thou when charging, it reboots.
Omg.. so frustrating!!!
Please help! Should I restore to 2.3 or the 2.1 that came with flashtool program?
Yes, I'm an X10 mini n00b. And yes, I posted this by mistake on the general forum. I'm sorry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry to post this, but I've been mucking around the net for over two days trying to find a solution, this is my last hope.
To the point:
I've an X10 min - e10i.
I had firmware 2.1.1.a.0.6 on it, and did all the steps towards installing a custom firmware.
I installed recovery, and it worked, so I created a NANDROID backup, then I rooted it, I hacked the bootloader. Everything was fine.
Then I came to put the minicm7.2, and everything stopped working.
The phone would not boot anymore past the Sony Ericsson logo wouldn't even go into recovery.
I mucked around a bit with flashtool, s1tool and others and got to the final position I'm in right now -
Phone boots, but the model now is e15i (no idea how that got there), and the buttons won't work, the sim and sdcard are unrecognized.
How do I fix this? I can't find the generic firmware for the A.0.6 anywhere, and non of the ftf's I downloaded were any help.
Tried to flash the E10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Sony Ericsson.ftf one (220mb) and it shows me the unplug/plug your phone dialog.
Neither Pc Companion nor SEUS were any help.

your phone can't go into flash mode?
---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------
you go download E10a firmware it should be work~
I smell something wrong here...
First, you said that you want to flash MiniCM7.2, but then it stucks on SONY ERICSSON LOGO. Well, since installing this ROM needs an nAa kernel, and installing nAa kernel means you won't have any SE Logo when you boot it up, there's something messed up, causing your phone error...
First, make sure you already bootloader unlock your phone properly. Second, try install latest nAa kernel using flashtool. After that, see how it works. If it runs, enter recovery mode, factory reset, clean dalvik-cache, and install MiniCM7.2 ROM again.

When it shows the 'unplug/plug in phone" screen do the following:
Turn off your phone
Disconnect the USB cable
Press and hold the back-button (bottom right one)
Plug in the USB cable while holding that button
The led should turn green and flashtool should start flashing the firmware.
Hope this helps.
