[Q] Goto Debugging mode without starting the phone - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I got the X10 from a friend cause it's not running.. The last thing he knew was that he updated the phone to the version 2.1.. he tried to!
Now it's only vibrating once you've pressed the Power-Button. Several tools didn't work. No repair option worked.
Now i wanted to flash the phone with the actual version of the Flash tool, but my problem is that it's saying that the flashin-process is aborted that i should go into the menu and enable debugging .. but i don't get into my phones menu, it doesn't start!
What should I do to solve the problem?
Thanks!

**

My main problem is that i need to set usb debugging mode but i'm not able to start my phone to enable usb debugging.

**

Think u may need to repair phone with seus and flash 2.1 back to phone using the phones fash mode

Download pc companion on pc, without connecting phone use update service, click repair, choose your phone model and connect while holding back button when prompted. This will flash SE2.1

Thought the repair option was always available.
Not near a oc to check at moment .

So I'm back, didn't have the time yesterday.
I tried to use PC Companion with the repair-option but there appears a Download error after connecting the phone, while it's trying to download the firmware or what else it wants to download.. it says that i should check my internet-connection but my connection is fine! I tried it several times. On the web, there are many of that problems..
@zekill62, thanks for you tip! What Firmware did you use and what Flashtool(-version)?
I only tried it out about 3 times .. After every flash-tryout I must remove the battery for about 10mins... i dont have the time to try it out 25times and spend a whole night for that
--> And finally : DON'T USE "OPTIMIZE" WITH CUSTOM ROMS (or don't be sleepy if your mouse is on it !)
I dont know what you mean, i dont have such an option "optimize" with custom roms

Does no one have any solution to solve my problem? The only thing I want is to get a new version installed/flashed to my phone so its starting.. can't enable usb debugging because the phone doesn't start.
thx again

Is ur battery charged? U might need to charge it with an external charger
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App

Yes it is charged. I have two batteries.

Same problem.. phone appears to be flashing with older version of flash tool but really slowly and eventually fails. Beta flash tool does nothing as it asks for debug mode.. debug mode was definitely on the last time my phone was working but it says its not...

Is it possible to flash back to Stock ROM without using SEUS?

Hi
I have a very annoying problem:
My phone no longer registers when I plugin the usb-cable. It doesn't ask whether to go into usb-mode nor does it display that usb debugging is on. It is only possible to charge it and not to sync data.
Therefore I'd like to flash it back to a stock rom so I can get it repaired under the warranty. And since SEUS can't find my phone when it is connected, I need to find another way to do so.
So is it possible?
have u tried flashtool yet?
its under the development section

nopp charging and data goes in different cables.
Sent from my ARCified X10i with CM 7.0 RC1 2.3.3 Gingerbread
Have you first tried the following :-
1) Different usb ports some laptops and desktops have front/side usb ports so try a rear one
2) Different usb cable (if its the charge/usb cable that came with the phone it could be damaged or the wires bent/cracked due to over use plugging into charge and then using it as a data cable
3) Different PC just incase something is wrong with your own (corrupt driver etc)
I would try these things before you start if it will connect but only charge I'm guessing that the cable is maby broken
you could also try staring the X10i in safe mode power off power on and soon as it vibrates hold the down part of the volume button and keep holding this down until the phone boots up
This will give you a pretty basic mode (safe mode) with stock applications running no market downloads etc and then try connecting your usb cable up see if it works then ... you could have a rogue application that uses the usb for sync function like a media player etc!?
Wow, rude much. I was offering a solution that worked for me when I was having an identical issue. Because I was able to charge, flash mode still worked. Also, as stated above, changing USB ports can help. No need to get snarky
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
JimmyX10 is right, however..
The phone is ONLY able to charge over USB.. No flashing capabilities so far..
I've tried SEUS and the flashtool..
I've also tried:
3 different USB cables (also tested okay on my Optimus X2)
3 different computers
And a bunch of different USB ports..
BUMP
Does anyone have any good ideas?
Yes you can flash your rom without PC....
1-hope ur fone is rooted
2-xRecovery installed
3-Search dev section for stock rom xRecovery installation or request to upload the same for U..
4-transfer the xrecovery .zip file to ur card by card reader.
5-flash it through xRecovery...
I believe it will solve ur prob....
Try this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054818
i think theres no problem as long as you got your phone rooted and have the stock rom stored in your computer. then you can transfer the rom to your phone via an sd card reader. lastly install it using xrecovery. problem solved

[Q]X10i Broken USB port, how to update to 2.1

Hi there, got xperia with broken? USB port - when plugged in to charger it charges (but doesn't show it's charging), when pluggen in to PC nothing happens (there must be a popup or notification in notification bar like i have on x8?)
the phone is really great, but it has only droid 1.6.
So is there any possibility to run update to at least 2.1 only from SD? not using the USB connection?
I have tried installing zdzihu's tool, but the phone says "cannot install application xRecovery Installer on this phone". Root made by Universal Androot and BusyBox installed in /system/bin/.
Hi,
you can do this in 2 ways.
1:
Use SEUS. Download the New 2.1. Version. Turn your Phone off. Flash your Phone with SEUS
2:
Use Flashtool and flash a custum or genric ROM

I had the same problem. I used the 2nd way
Here a guide how to flash your Phone:

really great, but PC doesn't find xperia when plugged in... so it didn't solve my problem.
use in settings the ota with wifi to update the Phone.
If the micrusb is not working, you should get that fixed 1st.
With phone rooted, busybox installed use xrecovery.apk from the official thread to install it.
Choose a nice firmware to install.

Cześć katorznik.
Got the same problem yesterday, bought on allegro like a new. I used it for 4 months, everything was perfect. Suddenly USB stopped working. It charges via charger but extremely slowly, via PC nothing happens. The biggest crap I have ever seen in a cell phone that class. :/ Of course I don't have warranty. Did they (service) explained why they cancelled your waranty? Did it happended suddenly or it was already in that condition when you received it? Have you dropped it on the ground etc? Any reasonable explanation?
It is propably impossible to update ypur phone OS without working USB transmission. Phone must be run into service mode first, than you can update basband (from what I know and I think I know much, this can be done only by USB cable) required for newer roms. After that and phone being rooted you can flash newer roms directly from SD. I'm "lucky" 'couse I managed to update baseband to .1.54 and Froyo just before that crap stopped working. Ehhhh.....
It's a physical damage, u r f****d..

[Q] Can't root my X10 - wtf?

Hi,
before you'll say something: i've done everything in every manual i've found, the Flashtool guide für noobies too.
My problem is, i can't root my X10, flashtool says and superoneclick (i have used every version i have found) said always that my phone is not plugged, but it is!!
At the moment i use the latest firmware, 2.1.A.0.435
So what can i do? Has anyone a simple trick?
greetz Cracker, and sorry for my bad english...
Are you sure you have connected your phone is flash mode....you have to hold the back button while you plug in your phone. The notification led will be green if you've done this right..

Flash mode wtf?
Make sure you have unknown sources and usb debugging enabled then try again with flashtool

USB Debugging is on, and i tested it also on flash mode, but it doesn't helped.
So, i don't know where's the problem
Oops..my bad...he asked about root
Try changing the usb port and then try rooting... the usb port was the problem in my case, it was recognising other usb devices but not my phone.
Also try installing SEUS first so that it installs the x10 drivers onto the pc.
Thanks for your help guys!
I have tested it on an other PC from my friend and it works perfectly, don't know why
My brother had a same problem, and we spend 2 hours to solve...
The problem is: pc companion or seus not installed before...

in short u are f****d.!
try rooting it with super one click or zroot(somethinng like that).
Yo.. let me explain something.
When i rooted and downgraded the kernel it used the old ADB drivers.
When i upgraded it required the new ADB drivers.
Maybe that is your issue.
flash the generic SE firmware with flashTool. It should work...
turn off phone - take out battery - press back key - insert usb - insert battery.
That should do the trick. Then Flashtool to stock
I probably have used this method 50 times the past 2 days trying to upgrade to GB. Always flashes ok but phone wont boot. Finally gave up and stayed with 2.1 and upgraded to MIUI. So it aint dead yet, just injured LOL
2 different computers won't recognize the phone, I can't flash with flashtool! It goes into flag mode but flashtooldoesnt recognize the phone. Somebody know how to manually install drivers?

Problem with newly bought SGSIII.. Kindly help.

Hi friends..
I bought SGSIII yesterday and started to exploring it's options since then.. As it's my first Android I am using some time to getting use to it..
Now here comes my two problems.
1. I am using a wifi router at my house and at first try I was able to connect to it easily.., but since then I am not able to connect again to the same connection. It finds it, tried to connect but then shows saved and then start searching again and couldn't connect it again. I tried factory settings once and the result is still same, can't connect to my wifi again.
2. I tried to root it with both Chainfire tool as well as with SGSIII kit provided here. Both options use ODIN and it's the main problem here.
Once I set my device in Download mode, ODIN doesn't recognize it thus doesn't show anything as detected device and thus I can't go ahead and flash the rooted image thus .tar file .. I am on Windows 8, I tried Windows 7 too but the result is same..
Can anyone suggest me what should I do next.
Thanks..

1) I can't seem to get what the issue with Wifi is but someone might be able to help you out.
2) Seems like you dont have the proper drivers for the device installed. The easiest way to solve this is to download KIES and install it. This will help you get all the necessary drivers and hopefully after that, ODIN should be able to detect the phone. Thats pretty much what I did.

Turn Power saving mode off.
This is a known problem with some s3's. Including mine. Best to flash cm9 and follow steps above. Its not an exact solution. But is far better than what I was experiencing!

My phone connects pretty easily with my PC when it's ON., problem starts when I put it under Download mode and then try to connect it to ODIN..
Any more suggestions.. Thanks for your replies though.
Restarted my router and wifi seems to be working fine again.. Well I hope it will keep working else I would know that why this is happening. Thanks for your suggestions.. Now I am just more concerned about ODIN problem coz I need to root my device and that's much needed issue.. Thanks.

Yup, installing KIES should help .When you connect the phone, usually the drivers required for mass storage are automatically installed. Different drivers are needed to get the PC to recognize the phone when it is download mode.
I guess they are ADB related drivers and I saw a prompt for that while drivers were installing but still to be sure I am installing it to see if that would help. Thanks, will notify the result here soon..
Nope, didn't help.. Installed Samsung Kies latest version too but still the same result..

It seems to be a unique problem, then. I saw this thread and tried uninstalling all my samsung drivers. I let Kies run in the background and connected my phone in download mode when Odin was running. All drivers got successfully reinstalled. Check whether Samsung USB Drivers are installed when you install Kies. Sometimes, it skips those due to errors. I've encountered that once or so.

Unticked USB debugging sounds like the problem.

@JJEgan
Yes, I tried with two different ODIN versions..
@ tommy2601
Yes, I did..
@slking1989
It's not..
I will try to remove all drivers .. then install KIES and then put my phone under download mode to see whether it will install all drivers then.. Will update later how it goes.
Ok.. Installed Windows 7 on my PC just to be sure that Windows 8 is not the culprit.., turned out it is not.. It's not working on Windows 7 too..
One thing to specify here is that when phone is on and if I connect it to my PC, ODIN recognize it and ID part turns to blue but not when I put it under Download mode.. so anymore suggestions friends as this is a nightmare to use it without root..
First, get the driver pack from the forum.
Go to the device manager on the computer when the phone is in Download mode and search it (should have a yellow triangle). Then right-click, Update driver.
Let it search on your computer, it should find and activate it within a few seconds

nicesoni_ash, good to see you're here from dailymobile!
This might sound daft but have you tried another cable?
I was getting problems using the cable that came with my phone, which had an HTC sticker on it for some reason.
Switched to the old cable from my N8 and it worked!
Just a heads up.....note that before flashing with Odin ensure kies is closed in sys tray or it may interrupt flashing process

On my system, I could never get the Kies icon to show up in the system tray, however it is running in the background. He might need to kill the Kies processes from Task Manager.
