Friends I have a big problem, my xperia X10i suffered damage at
I can not connect USB to my computer, the phone has android
1.6 and want to upgrade at least to 2.1 but do not know where to find a
generic rom to do the update without connecting the phone to USB
computer.
I'm sorry to hear.
But you'll need a functional USB port and USB cable to update your phone software, so I suggest that you contact your retailer to leave it for service.

See if you can resold the micro USB pin connector.. or take the phone to an official center.. i guess that is the only way. unless that you make a root and installing the Xrecovery flash the rom from there, you can use a custom rom too
The problem is how to load the ROM with everything inside the micro SD card
Can you charge your battery with USB cable?
If so, you should be able to connect your X10 to your PC via USB.
Otherwise you should return your X10 to the Sony Repair Center.
If you want to load a rom you need a rooted X10 and "xrecovery"apk.
To make a root without Flashtool and USB cable, i think you can do with "z4root"apk.
You can also use "rom manager"apk to load a rom in SD card.
If you are on the stock 1.6, then I'll recommend that you take it to a service center and check, since it's probably a hardware problem (common in X10).

Tried to flash my phone from 2.1 back to 1.6 and now it wont turn on... I can't get it into flash mode because I have a dodgy frickin' USB port on my phone...
I take the battery out, re insert it, press power button and it vibrates, flashes the led and then nothing.
Please help
Thanks in advance

Just reflash your phone. There are plenty of resources in this forum.
Try changing your USB cable first.
And I'm just wondering why you'd want to downgrade from 2.1 to 1.6.
If you're sure there's a problem with the USB connector on the phone then your best bet is to take it to your local SE support.

I cant get into flash mode! I was downgrading so i could take it back and get the USB Port repaired
In that case take it to Sony Ericsson's repair center as it is in its current state if you're certain the USB port is preventing the connection to the PC.
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.

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

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:

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
,My phone is dead now,because i flashed custom rom with the wrong custom kernel then after that, system got error, the SD card cant be mounted, SIM card not functioning, i cant even enter xrec mode,it resets itself automatically after few minutes, the worst part is that the USB port is no more recognized by the computer, charging become slower than usually....
i got my phone repaired twice, the USB port has been changed,but its still cant be detected, SE authorized repair center told me that the mainboard need to be replaced, and the price of the MB is almost the price of a new X10, what can i do without changing the MB? i love my X10。。。。
Anybody can help me?
This has been covered before. Search before posting in the future.
As for your problem, search for "Flashtool", and use it to repair your phone. Alternatively, use SEUS or PC Companion. If they don't work, then you might be in bigger trouble than I originally thought.
i cant use flashtool and SEUS bec. of the broken usb port. and its impossible to be repaired, any alternative way to repair it?
If xRecovery and Flashtool/SEUS doesn't work, and your USB port is definitely broken, then a new motherboard may be your only option unfortunately.
I have the same problem I think I have to sell my Xperia in parts.

Btw. I wan't to root my X10 to upgrade system to 2.3 (through xRecovery or else) and it's impossible to do stock upgrade without USB cable...
You have a warranty? Change

U also cant update to 2.3 with broken usb and for 2.3 u need .71 baseband and latest kernel for which u have to flash them through computer using usb cable...
So,..as they said before,the best way is to fix the port to save time....actually it's the best u can do..u won't have to take off battery and SD every time u want to get some music from PC

I don't have warranty, that's the problem. And I was in 2 service points, both said that it is impossible to repair my USB :-(
It's not a problem for me to use card reader/wifi/bluetooth to transfer files phone-pc or pc-phone. Problem for me is that without working USB I can’t update from 2.1.1 to 2.3. In fact, I can’t do anything that is needed to update to stock or custom (uptade, root, recovery mode, etc.)… :-(
Hello everyone...
I have a problem so I wonder whether it can be resolved.
Specifically to circumstances I have defective usb mini port on my cell phone. Phone is fully functional, can be charged and make phone calls, but data transfer or connecting a computer to the phone via USB cable, is not possible. The cable is proper only port on the phone is defective.
So I'm interested in the following , is it possible to update the phone to a newer firmware (ginger or froyo, it does not matter) using only a memory card. So all that would be downloaded to the cell phone via computer to be transferred on the memory card and to do update that way.
Mobile is at factory default settings and has never been rooted or anything similar has been done to the phone, he is "out of the box". Sorry for the poor English, it is not my native language.
Please responde and thank you for your help and quick response.

I think you would only be able to upgrade if it's a custom Rom and flash it through Xrecocery. You can transfer the files to the microSD by using an adapter to connect to your computer, but it's annoying because you need to take it out the phone and put it back in.

No. We can't flash basebands through recovery atm.

Hi everyone, almost the same problem, well worst really, my USB port doesn't work at all (something about motherboard) I'm on a custom ROM at 2.1 I will really like to upgrade to 2.3, so do anyone know is there any ROM that I can install via recovery that has an OTA upgrade or via recovery from 2.1 to 2.3?
