my cell phone is stuck at the SE logo.i was doing some "experiments" on xrecovery when i choose some option(dont remember i think it was format system). i cant connect it to SEUS or flash tool or pc companion.
note: when i connect it to the charger the cell turns on but it is stuck on the SE logo.when i connect it on the pc it doesnt do anything!! any ideas?????
You messed up big time. Why would you format the system without an image to replace it with?!?! The files for recovery are in the system as well and you totally erased everything. I don't know what you could do now if you can't get in flash mode. There is a warning about that option in the thread so why would you think it was a good "experiment" to format your system? I mean 'Format System' is pretty self explanatory. I think you are SOL, try and hit up Z and see what he says.

Did you use system wipe? If so your probably going to need to repair with Seus and start over. I don't remember a format system option but system wipe I do. I could be wrong though and I'm too lazy to reboot to xrecovery to check. I do believe you should be able to access flashmode even if you did wipe and leave it that way.

There is a 'format system' option. I believe its under advanced or one of the other submenus. A 'Full Wipe (factory reset)' you can restore. Formatting the system removes the system folder where recovery files are stored and formats everything. There is an explicit warning in the thread not to use that option.

OK I stand corrected. I do believe however that if the Sony Ericsson screen shows the bootloader is still active and you should be able to use flashtool to fix it.

take the battery out, and start the flasher, point to the firmware you want to flash
insert batery, hold <- (BACK) KEY ans plug the usb
should be flashing because your boot is ok
you should flash with an official rom 2.1 (my advise) because contains baseband and all files necessary to a good boot
reflash your BB firmware. Try to use the same one as you originally had or as close as possible. There are plenty of guides here on how to do it.
Hi have ran into the same issue a while ago.
I have been playing & swapping ROM on my HTC Desire for more than 6 months, so I decided to play my Xperia 10i.
The problem I had was I was changing Cyanogen to MIUI and I was in Xrecovery, doing full wipe, system format and I accidently do a reboot. And it as what stuck as SE Logo screen.
I am trying now to flash using FTF, and SEUS.
I will post it later when I have any progress.
UPDATES:
SEUS said that my phone software is up to date. However, I am doing a force update again. Looks good, the software is currently downloading.....
UPDATES:
Managed to salvage and unbrick my Xperia using SEUS back to 2.1.
Now redo the Busybox and Xrecovery again.

That process is quite quick, just use flashtool to install those files.
Next time make sure you read the flashing instructions clearly before flashing a custom rom to prevent troubles.
And DON'T use the format system function in xRecovery as you would screw everything up.

i experienced the same problem. I got flash tool and i used it to flash my x10i.
i unchecked the "wipe user data" option and then flashed with the generic firmware (because that is what i was using). i have all my old apps on it after the flash
My x10i is now back to normal..
can't identify my x10 with flash tool
hii there..i just bought my x10 and stupidly formatted system!! im trying to use flash tool..but how can it recognize my phone as it still stuck on SE logo?!!
pls....help
and how can i flash a ROM using it
Keep calm, you CAN fix it with PC Companion, just open PC Companion, click on firmware update (or something like that) its going to tell you that there isn't a phone connected then click on repair phone (or something like that, it appears like a blue hyperlink) and follow the instructions.
You need to have at least 50% battery before attempting this.
I have screwed my phone and fixed it twice xD
Next time make a Backup with xrecovery it will save you more than once :O

Just try flash tool.......& wippe everything first...
I've tried PC companion (the new and old ones with the updates and the repair), when i try to update it say that I already have the last update, and when i try to repair (with the old PC Suite 6.011, the last doesnt have that option) it throws "failed to repair".
I have flash it with "2.1_2.0.A.0.504_GENERIC_x10A" and "Global World 2.1" its done normally, but every remains the same in the phone.
I have to mention that I can't manipulate the phone, 'cause no program or interface appear. Just the exclamation simbol inside a triangle next to a phone.
I dont know if there is a hard reset or if its necesary.

When you flash a generic rom from SE it will wipe all data. I think if I am answering your question. Here is a link to flash tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
use the 2.1.54 baseband which you stated above located in the flashtool link in the forum.
I believe the how to is in the link too on the page.
Ok Guys...
I think that my cellphone is "bricked", in this thread i learned about that... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686293
(I tried generics, older, lasts roms, and nothing.
maybe I need to pay the davinciteam software to unbrick this, but I have some doubts.
I haven't a sonyericsson service near. But I think we're getting closer to the solution.)
Thanks Voelker45!! I used the X10a_2.0.2.A.0.24_Generic.ftf from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746, with flash tool wiping the user data, and made the phone alive, IT'S ALIVE!!!
greetings to all of you that make it posible!!
Hello,
Yesterday I've changed kernel in my X10 and since than my prolems begun.
The situation looks like this write now:
-I can't connect it to flashtool bacause of ERROR - USB/VID...(will upload a screenshot later)
-The system won't boot because of wrong kernel (the kernel is propably for froyo)
-I can get into xRecovery, but the SD Card con't be mounted
-Won't connect to SEUS also
The only option that is left to make a full wipe or is there any way to get into internal memory of the phone, so that I could change the xRecovery to older version.
Please if You had such a problem or any idea HELP
I bricked my phone twice in the last 2 days. Keep trying with SEUS untill SEUS give you the repaire option. My last attempt took about 8 upgrade tries before SEUS gave me the repair option. goodluck
Wrong place dudes. Go to Question & Answer box.
BTW, If you unlocked Bootloader, you can brick your phone. Otherwise, no chance to brick it. Here you go:
- Remove SEUS and PC Companion
- Download latest PC Companion and fresh install (Enable Windows auto update first, PC Companion needs it to find latest driver for FlashMODE).
- Restart computer then try using Repair mode in PC Companion (don't connect phone, just click Start in Support Zone and follow, you will find Repair mode)
- Or use FlashTool to Flash Stock firmware.
OK, I've repaired it. Somehow it connected normally to SEUS next today

It because the battery low I think
Sent from my T.E.A.M. powered X10i using XDA App (& the internet...)
The battery wasn't low, it was about 70%, however I'vo loaded it 100% over night and today there was no problem at all. Might be luck!
So I did something, turned off my phone, and now when I turn it on, it will show the Sony Ericsson screen then half a second of the AT&T screen then it will shut off and restart everything and it does this over and over and over until I take out the battery. I have a x10a running on 2.1 update and I have no idea what to do.
Sony Ericsson companion wont do anything to help me out by doing the "hold back button and plug in".... it says "update not available". Also my phone won't let me hard reset I really don't know what to do so can you please tell me something to do? I've been trying to fix it since about 3:00pm yesterday and its about to drive me crazy!! So please write back, Thanks!
Do You have root, xRecovery etc.? You could try to flash new ROM using flashtool (USB Debugging must be enabled)

Well i got it to work again by flashing it but now when i plug it in to use on the flash tool, it says "device detected" I had the old tool now i have the new one and it use to say x10 on old one now it says device detected on the new one... I tried installing drives and everything and it still says the same thing.. I want to do xrecovery and install apk files but it wont let me. Any suggestions?
So do You have working ROM now? If so copy the files from xRecovery.apk manually to the destination folders

I need to flash my X10 Mini, but I can't find the firmware for It anywhere with a working link. Anyone that still have the file and willing to share?
There are only plenty of links to sites that are down
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn on the phone and then afterwards it just won't start anymore, so i need to flash it and then use SEUS to restore it.
UPDATE!
I found everything and fixed everything I needed by just flashing It with a stock kernel.
Just use the Repair option in Pc Companion.

I'm not looking for how to do It..... Read the question before you post. I appreciate you trying to help, but at least understand what the question Is first.
I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

The phone it self comes to a point where there is some light on the screen, but i can't see the SE Logo anymore. I can charge the phone without problem from what it looks.
If I can get hold of another mini how can I make the ftf?
What did I do to achive this problem??
I tried to install MiniCM7-2.1.9-robyn and it ended with a phone that got stuck during boot. Then I got to a guide where someone said "Hardreset the device and use SEUS", but SEUS always says that my phone has the latest software.

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.

Only one problem here, I don't have the option to reinstall the software at all after it says that I already have the latest software.
Can it be that the option is no longer there depending on SEUS version?

There is a repair option in PC Companion, see it, please! The repair option on PC Companion is Support Zone --> Update --> Repair.
BTW, to hard reset :
1. Turn the phone off
2. Press the POWER button
3. Press and hold home key aprox 3 seconds
4. The hard reset is starting.

Hi all,
It seems my X10 mini pro is completely bricked.
Firstly I root my phone
after that I copied the xrecovery and made a restart, till then everything was rolling smoothly.
I backed up and reseted to factory settings. loaded the new update.zip and after the restart that was needed my phone briked
it's not a common brick. I can't use flashtools to recover it.
here is the problem that appears...
6/030/2013 18:30:20 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"

phone is not responding to any command. Plus it needs to be turned off if you wanna restore the backup you saved previously...when I try to flash it, phone turns ON
I read many guides in this forum to unbrick it but didn't find anything that suits to my occasion.
If any other detail is missing from my report please ask me to add it.
Sorry for my english
Thanks in advance.
Use SEUS to restore Download from:

Dont forget to pull of your battery for 4 seconds, for turn off your phone before connect your phone.

Press home and power buttons together, it will restart the phone, then start pressing the back-button repeatedly to get back into recovery and restore your previous rom from there. (Come to think of it, following my last paragraph below, you probably don't have recovery on your phone anymore, so, as Rempty mentioned above, repairing with SEUS or PC Companion would be the start to recover your phone to a usable state,.)
The error flashtool gave you is because you didn't unlock the bootloader and didn't change the kernel on your phone. It can't flash any non-sony kernel on a locked bootloader.
What is this 'update.zip' you're talking about? Most full roms have more informational names to distinguish between different zips. An update.zip is usually only for hotfixes to ROMS already flashed, and not a complete ROM.
Thanks a lot guys. I solve my problem with SEUS.
Phone completely formated.
Love you guys
