Hey, I am running Free X10, and I recently re-flashed Bin4ry's "Dualtouch for all roms" file because it was working incorrectly. Now, that works, but when my X10 is turned off and I plug it in, it goes into Flash Mode for a few seconds before going into charge mode. It does this automatically, without me holding the "back" button, and it even does it when I use the wall socket. Any ideas as to what might be causing this and how to fix it?
Any suggestions/thoughts appreciated.
P.S. The phone works fine otherwise.
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, please move accordingly if so. Thanks

have u made a backup before flashing dual touch...??
Simply reflash complete firmware.
1. wrong forum.
2. it is not going into flash mode. just because the green led comes on does not mean it's in flash mode....it is just showing that there is power to the phone..It does this by turning on the led for a second since it can't just show a notification on the screen if it's powered off.

It never really did that before. It would simply stay blank, then come up with the orange LED and the Battery charging icon. Also, it takes longer to get to the charge mode because of this. Reboots when plugged in also has this happen.
Edit: No backup before reflash of dualtouch because it doesn't mess with any user data, its more of a plugin. Full article Here
yo ive had the same problem forever.. Sorry to say it but you can't get rid of it.. Well I can't at least.. Flashing new firmware..repairing withpc companion etc..
lol..
You can even take battery out while its in "flashmode" Right?
And it still stays green...
lmao..
Anyways if you figure out the solution...... Pm me please..
Best of luck ..

Can't even flash
I have a somewhat similar problem. When I try to plug the phone into flash mode, the green light goes on for 9 or 10 seconds, then goes into charging mode. I'm basically stuck with what I have. I can't flash to repair, and when Gingerbread comes in July I won't be able to flash into that I hope you find a solution cause this is killin' me.
If the loader is not sent within a certain amount of time it will either go to charge mode or power on.
Besides, when gingerbread comes out for it, do a factory reset, and then use the SEUS like you would.

You can not just put your phone into flash mode without a separate app to tell your phone to be in flash mode...like seus or flashtool.
If you're using flashtool you must choose a file to flash for it to tell your phone "get ready to go to flash mode" If you aren't prompted by either app to put it in flash mode you won't be able to do it.
If flashtool doesn't work for you, use seus and go through the steps until your phone is in flash mode....once the green led is on & stays on you're in flash mode and you can close seus, then continue to use flashtool to flash your files.

Okay I've tried everything, full charge on batt, pull batt out and replace while holding back, still it won't go into flash mode. I have debugging clicked. Any ideas?
Update your flashtool, let it prepare your flash and follow the steps it tells u to (turn off phone and connect the usb cable while holding back). No need to reinsert the battery anymore, that's outdated P:

Got Flash Tool 0.2.8 installed and tried again, still nothing. The green light comes on like normal then goes out. After that the screen comes on with the SE. The light turns yellow and the charge batt symbol shows on the screen.
I'm a little more confident in trting to clean my phone so I'd like to get it to flash mode. I have flashed Generic 2.1 so I know it did work.
Are there any settings that might have changed?
EDIT: Alright it works with SEUS. I guess I haven't been holding the back key long enough. I'll give it another try.
EDIT 2: Well still nothing. Acts the same as described above with both 0.2.6 and 0.2.8. Any ideas???

If anyone is still looking for a solution to this mine was pretty stupid, but I'll share anyway in case it helps. Windows update had apparently been doing some things I didn't know about, which messed up my USB drivers in a weird, half-functional way. When I rebooted and the updates completed, I was able to get back in. Once again, turning everything off and back on fixed my problems...
Tried to flash dual touch onto my x10i using flash tool and it said it was successful. When it rebooted, phone was stuck on SE animation. Tried SEUS which saved me last time, but the phone turns on halfway by itself so it wont work. Flashtool doesn't work as well!
Also, the phone keeps turning on by itself until i take the batteries out (Stuck on SE logo). Only when it seems to run out of battery does it start having the red light of death

Red long led when charging means it's charging, but the battery is still flat.
Leave it for around 2 hours you should see an orange/green led lit.
After having your handset ready for flashing, just pop flashtool up and start restoring.

Hello comrades,
I have xperia x10 mini pro. I rooted phone with Flashtool and installed CWM. I tried to boot it in flash mode (turned off phone, back button held and plugged in USB into the phone), but what I get is that my phone turned on always, like that I pressed Power button.
Earlier I couldn't boot it into the flash mode and I got that I charging battery, but after I installed CWM, phone always turns on.
Due to, I can't re-flash it because it always turns on. I tried with flashtool, PC companion, SEUS but all software need that I turn off phone and then hold back button and plug in usb and what I get is turned on phone. Please help me how to fix this problem.
I would like to re-flash it to stock 2.1.1.A.0.6 (2.1-update1).
Phone turns on even if I just plug in usb to phone (one end is in the PC and when I plug in other end into the phone, phone turns on). What is wrong guys?

Leave your phone plugged in and press POWER-HOME and BACK all together, as soon as the screen turns completelly black (backlight off too) releast POWER and HOME, and leave the back-button pressed, that will probably work too.

How do you mean until I reach connection step, where should I reach connection step?
You take out the battery, then you go into PC Companion and follow the steps to repair your phone, until it asks to connect your phone in flash-mode.
Then do as he said (put the battery in etc.)

What do you think, what will happened if I wipe it using CWM? Can I brick it on that way?
If you mean formatting your phone, so you don't have a system on there anymore... that probably will give you a brick. Flashmode is a hardware feature, implemented to install firmware and enable reparations to your phone's software.
Deleting everything you can will not magically solve your problem, as far as i know.
It might help if you get mad at the phone and abuse the back-button by repeatedly pressing it when connecting the phone.

Does this mean that I have hardware problem. Phone works without any problem.
Somehow it doesn't detect you pressing the back-button, maybe there is some dust or dirt inbetween the contacts or something, since you flashed sucessfully before i don't think it's a serious hardware-problem.

I didn't flashed it before, I couldn't do that. I couldn't unlock bootloader, because I couldn't boot it in flash mode (phone just show that battery charging), after installing CWM now phone even don't show that battery is charging (it turns on when I plug in USB in the phone without holding any button). This is nightmare!
You are still on the original firmware then?

Yes, I am on original firmware and phone still works, but I have problem to boot it in flash mode. When I plug in USB cable in the phone it turns on, like that I pressed POWER button. I don't press any button, but when I plug in usb cable 10-20 seconds and phone is on.
Yes, because your phone detects the usb-cable getting plugged in, even when it's off, it thinks you want to charge it, so (normally) it loads the kernel in order to start the charging-process, that is normal behaviour. I have been on a kernel that didn't support that feature, and it booted into the full rom before it started charging.
In short: the usb-port also functions as a power-button, sort off
Does the back-button work normally when you're on the firmware? (Like, open the app-drawer, pressing back-button should close it?)

Yes, the back button works perfect, closing apps (not close apps, but back to the phones "desktop"), back to previous pages in browser...
I am concerned because, before I installed CWM , when it was OFF and plugged in on USB, phone just showed black screen and when I clicked on some button I could see that battery is charging, that was all. Now, when I plug in USB it turns on like I pressed POWER button.
And off course never booted in flash mode because it turns on

What is app-drawer, I don't know what is that.
oh, that's the bit where you find all your installed apps, the grid you see when you press on the little triangle on the bottom of your desktop, or swipe up on the desktop.
I honestly don't know why your phone won't go into flash-mode though. Maybe try to take out your battery for about 10 minutes so your phone gets rid of all charge and static, and then try again.

But I can't boot it in flash mode even with new ROM, all the time orange led diode when I hold back button and plug in USB. I wiped out all date except something about "battery" from Advanced CWM options.

no logo, no sound nothing happens.
I tried to reflash again, but windows says: Cannot recognize the device
In the control panel device manager show "unknown device".
Because of this , cannot reflash with the tool, because it's waiting for the recognized device too..
when i press the back and connect the cable, the green lighting for a minute , and turns of..
Yes, i have the correct drivers(as you can see i flashed before).

Hey go back to stock 1st then try rooting later,
1) launch pc companion
2) select support zone
3) now select phone software update
4) then click on repair phone
Now software will download the stock ROM along with stock kernel..
When the software asks you to connect in flash mode, do the following
1) turn off the phone
2) Remove battery
3) Connect the USB cable to phone as well as to the laptop
4) Place the battery back while holding down the back button (3rd button from the left)
5) Green light should glow and the stock ROM and kernel should be flashed automatically..
When it's done you should have a stock unrooted X10, if you want then flash custom Rom after rooting it, be sure to unlock the boot loader if u want to flash custom kernel... Good luck

Hi guys,
I am currently trying to repair my friend's ST25i Xperia U, he encountered random crash and the phone won't turn on. I have tried to charge the phone but no reaction from the phone itself. if I pressed the lock button it only turn on the red LED for a second and nothing happens. I think I am having a problem with the kernel that it won't let the battery charged.
I am familiar with flash tool, when I tried to flash the device will not get into either fast boot or flash mode. IF i connect the phone to PC via USB(holding down up/down for either fastboot or flashmode), it only turn the red LED for a second.
anyone can help? I am currently trying to only charge the battery via universal battery charger, hoping that it is charged and can enter fast boot or flash mode so i can flash the device.
my friend said that it was running android 2.3.6, having a problem and sent to repair center upgraded into 2.3.7, then this random crash happened. I want to flash it to ICS by the way. I had the stock rom ready to flash.
Is there any flashing method that does not require a battery?
sorry for the long post, I hope you guys can help me with flashing

Try installing the latest version of flashtool and install drivers for xperia u manually
Load the stock ics ftf in flashtool.

I think I am having a problem with the kernel that it won't let the battery charged.
I am familiar with flash tool, when I tried to flash the device will not get into either fast boot or flash mode. IF i connect the phone to PC via USB(holding down up/down for either fastboot or flashmode), it only turn the red LED for a second.
anyone can help? I am currently trying to only charge the battery via universal battery charger, hoping that it is charged and can enter fast boot or flash mode so i can flash the device.
my friend said that it was running android 2.3.6, having a problem and sent to repair center upgraded into 2.3.7, then this random crash happened. I want to flash it to ICS by the way. I had the stock rom ready to flash.
Is there any flashing method that does not require a battery?
sorry for the long post, I hope you guys can help me with flashing

there is no way you can flash the phone without battery and the is the led flashing 3 times when you press the power button?
the problem is with the kernal and it is not charging the phone in offline mode and the only way is to use the Universal charger or flash the phone by using any other battery from a similar phone report after you do it

Try installing the latest version of flashtool and install drivers for xperia u manually
Load the stock ics ftf in flashtool.
when it asks to connect the cable
HOLD volume down key and connect
and then flash rom.

well the universal chraging method did not work, and no one uses xperia U here. hard to find a battery. can you confirm if using battery from similar phone will work?
regarding the led--it only flashes once, and red. this happens when it is plugged into pc/charger.

Remove the battery out of the device and leave it for an hour without the battery and after that press and hold the power button for 60seconds (without the battery) after that insert the battery and try to enter flash mode "have the FLASHTOOL ready to flash a rom"
IF it doesn't work
Just as a last try you can TRY REPAIR using Sony Update Service(SUS) and if it doesn't work either you have to report the service center... they will help you and if it is still under warrenty you can get it done for free too...
battery drained
have you done anything that couldve drained the battery fully ? if so the solution is to continuously charge it ... it might take upto 16 hours or more happened to mine now fixed
did it woks ? after charging your mobile for 16 hours ?
