[Q] Unfixable Problem... Someone Help - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've had a useless X10 here for months. I've done everything to try and reinstall the firmware including SEUS, Update Service and Flashtool. Nothing works and I cannot access my phone.
I was hoping I could get it working with the new flashtool. After running it and connecting the phone, it's giving me the error:
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - Then go to application settings
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
The problem I'm having is, I haven't been able to get my x10 to turn on. Is there a way to flash without having debugging enabled?
Thanks.

Try this:
1 - remove the battery and wait for 4 - 5 minutes;
2 - reinsert the battery;
3 - put your phone to charge in a wall socket (not thru USB);
4 - leave it charging for about 3 - 4 hours (check if the led is on);
5 - try to flash a stock rom using flashtool.
My X10 has an issue with the battery that makes it power off and not turn on while I don't do steps 1 and 2. I've tried to reflash a stock rom, but had received the same error you have, until I put the battery to charge during the entire night. After the recharge, I was able to reflash the rom fine (altough the problem of shutting off randomsly still happens).
Hope it helps.

I've tried using flashtool after charging my phone for a good 10 hours. It takes around 4-6 hours to flash 7-8/10 files then the battery dies.
Nothings working. The new flashtool demands the phone have unknown sources and debugging enabled but I can't since I cannot access my phone.
And if it matters at all my phone was rooted with FreeX10 rom.

GTFIH X10 geeks, help me.

when it just wont work
CHARGE PHONE TOO 100% BEFORE STARTING ANYTHING.
First ALL FLASHTOOLS Have to be done in Administrator mode on your PC/laptop and this may also fix that messed up usb port you seem to have on it to. You should NEVER charge you phone for more then 2ish hours in fact it should only take about 1.5 to 2 hours if not then you have a bad one. Also you should check that your usb drivers are up to date before you start. And Be Patient.
Had the same problem last year. What you need to do is uninstall all Se software Pc Companion an Se update Sevice and all Java.
If you have a registry cleaner and or an uninstaller (not windows) like Revo Uninstaller free or Pro use it to uninstall an clean registry. (BUT NOT IN Administrator Mode only Flashtool needs this)
Do a disk clean up Local Disk C:drive/right click properties/click disk cleanup/click all boxes/Click run/clean.
Reboot wait till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading).
Yes boot again.
Reboot wait till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading).
The first boot sets up your cleanup the second boot starts a fresh boot cycle again wait for full load up light stops.
Reinstall all programs letting them update them self. JAVA first Pc Companion then Se update Service rebooting on each one NOT all at once (waiting till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading) each time.
This helps your stack/drive stay clean.
If you do not have 7zip (free) you should get it now an download an install it reboot PC (waiting till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading).
When connecting phone to PC use a different USB port then the one you used at first.
Now Start Pc Companion and let it do it's thing, do as it says, connecting phone to update Pc Companion to it.
Then do the same for Se update doing as it says and do an update and/or repair.
If it says to unplug or plugin USB just unplug/plugin the USB on the PC not the phone and making sure that you put it back in the same USB port.
Create a folder on C: drive:
Right click Start/Explore/Click (high light) Local Disk(C) click file/new/folder/
right click new folder/rename/Flashtool version ?.?.?
Download And Save to Folder you made on the C: drive
Firmware Files:
(use a Stock/Generic firmware first like 2.1.1 for your region)

Install Flashtool on C: drive:
After downloading file to folder go to file and in it a rar file
Right click 7zip file/Select Extract to Flashtool ?.?.?
Reboot wait till stack OS/drive stops loading (light stops flickering).
When using Flashtool do not unplug USB from PC and when plugging in for flashing just remove battery plug mini USB in phone hold back button an put battery back in.
While Flashing NEVER TURN OFF/CLOSE FLASHTOOL until the phone is up and working completely.
After putting firmware in folder.
Right Click/x10Flashtool/Click Run As Administrator.
And follow the instruction in all the guides and all should be good.

^ Thank's for the lengthy post although I followed the first set of instructions and still the same problem (takes over 6 hours,doesn't flash, battery dies).
With the SDK what would I have to learn to fix the phone?

---

Can you get in to xrecovery if you can clear all. If not try pluging in to usb xrecovery should come up. Sorry so late I'm not at my pc all update this when i get home.

make sure you have a sim card in the phone, that might get you past your problems

---

Do you have x10.sin in loaders in flashtool?

---

Is your USB cable connected through a hub? There is absolutely no reason it should take anywhere near that long to flash unless your connection is to slow. I tried flashing while plugged through a passive hub and it would get to ~70% and fail everytime until I plugged directly into the PCs USB port. Flashing should only take a few minutes if you have a good USB connection.

Did you get it fixed ?? Phone power should be at least 60% when you start anything
To get in to xrecovery turn off phone wait 5 seconds then turn on phone and pressing the back button tell it comes up if it doesn't try again and if it still doesn't then you didn't do something right.
Also try SU update repair.
Try turning off phone plug in usb to phone then pc then turn on phone if you flashed right xrecovery should come up on phone then scroll down with volume button to advanced setting clear all then re-flash Firmware. if not re-root install xrecovery if that does not work start ALL over from start with my first post on the 24th. my guess is you are missing some steps.

@GravvyTrain
Yes I do have a Sim card in the phone, problem remains the same
@Dusza Spc
Yes I do have the x10.sin file in flashtool
@CMoney87
Not using a hub, directly into my laptop USBS. Also tried on various computers, same problem. It's the phone.
@Lion3494
I doubt it's my battery, I've used another and same problem.
@Patricks_book
Have not fixed the problem. I literally can't access anything on the phone, When you press the power button it vibrates and thats it. I've tried accessing Xrecovery and It doesn't do anything.
I've tried SU Update Repair and it gives me a network error (I've disabled firewalls, tried on another computer) and It doesn't allow me to go any furthur (wrote the exact error in a previous thread).
I haven't missed any steps, It just doesn't flash.

---

Awesome to make things even better, my phone won't go green when on USB.
Put the phone onto charge and all it gives me is blinking red light.
Goodnight sweet X10.
