hi guys. my x10 froze at se boot and does nothing. i've read through almost all helpfull threads that are similar to my problem but the problem still persist. fyi, i booted to xrecovery, made a backup and i noticed that there were problems in backing up (md5 chcksum, i think). but the backup file was created. i restored using that file and now it is stuck at boot. i can't even turn the phone off. i've tried hard reset, tried using the sues, flashtoo and even pc tools but to no avail. this is due to the phone can't connect to usb. can anyone please help me.
You have do a factory reset and wipe cache?
how can i do that andres3d? are there any way for me to do that? i'm trying but the phone just can't go past the se boot. it's just stuck there. i can't even turn the phone off. the only way is to take out the battery.
Try this, enter into xrecovery and select "factory resect" first at all, then reboot.
I got stuck there too, and I haven't the xRec installed
You can download the SE Update Service (SEUS) and flash the original rom back to it.
Download the software and install, take off the battery, wait a little bit (30s or so), insert the battery back. DO NOT TURN ON THE PHONE YET.
Open the SEUS, choose the phone (X10) and click 'go', or 'ok', or whatever. Keep going and the software will tell you to plug the phone. Plug the phone turned off. When it's plugged, turn it on holding the back button until the software tells you to release.
Wait a few moments... and it's done. Turn on your phone, it should take a little longer to boot, but it's just the first time, then it boots normally.
It's quite easy to do when you know what to do
thanks in advance but i've tried both method and it still got me nowhere. first, i can't boot to xrecovery at all and second, the sues doesn't even detect my phone.
Did you try download a stock firmware from here and install by flashtool?
Do you have installed drivers from x10 to your PC?
I thing the only way is by flashtool, because you don't have xrecovery access l.

Hi all
Unfortunetly my case is 99% similiar as "Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10XPERIA X10 Q&A[Q] {HELP} another x10 stuck at se boot" but changing the cables doesn't help. The only thing which the phone respond is to hold back starting of booting what immidietly happening when i'm connecting the usb cable.
I had xrecover installed before but is not starting onto flashing mode.
Any ideas
Hi,
This is the first time ive posted a thread from my pc in a long time.
Thats because my phone is just not working!!
I was on Achotjan froyo rom, yesterday my phone started behaving very strangely and i kept getting restarts constantly.
For some stupid reason instead of reinstalling through xrecovery I went straight to flashtool and decided to reinstall stock 2.1 firmware.
Halfway through flashing- my 2 year old nephew came running upto computer by my side and pulled USB cable out of port in middle of flashing.
Now phone wont turn on, the LED blinks green once when pressing power button, then screen looks like its turning on and turns to the black boot up screen. But SONY ERICSSON LOGO never shows up it is just a blank screen for about 30 seconds and then screen turns off and then it just loops-LED flash same over and over again.
Initially i connected to SEUS and that downloaded and installed fine, but when it came to turning phone on- no change same as above. I tried other flashtools, one thread suggested 2.1 global by marylandcookie, still no difference. I THEN TRIED PC COMPANION TO SEE IF THAT DOES ANY DIFFERENT BUT NO!!
I even flashed an old R2AB026 1.6 rom i have using old flashtool, but that just makes phone go into a continuous vibration.
***BATTERY IS OK AND IVE LEFT ON CHARGE FOR AGES,
LIKE I SAID SEUS IS INSTALLING IT OK WITHOUT ANY ERROR, SO WHY WONT IT TURN ON????
GUYS PLEASE I NEED HELP, GINGERBREAD IS OUT SOON AS YOU KNOW, AND NOW I THINK IVE KILLED MY PHONE.
I BOUGHT IT MARCH 2010 AND I CANT EVEN FIND MY RECEIPT NOW SO I CANT SEND IT FOR WARRANTY.
I FEEL LIKE CRYING!!
CAN ANYONE HELP?
try taking your battery out for a minute, then do you have a different usb cable? I did this and had to change mine. now reboot your computer, then use SEUS and find the 'repair' option. hope this works, I did the same. if you have an old Nokia, the cable works

So, sort of long story, i'll cut it short
-Got an old X10, had stock 2.3.3
-Rooted it
-Did not unlock bootloader, got kinda scared.
-Tried to install FeraLab custom ROM, it failed probably because of sdcard permissions; i accidentally wipe /system /data /cache
-stuck at first Sony Ericsson screen
-Somehow managed to flash a 2.1 stock rom with flashtool, after an hour of different combinations of enterring flash mode and pulling the battery
-Tried to install FeraLab again, this time it went through
-After install, rebooted, phone shut down during boot up process
-Will not turn on at all. Even when plugged into a PC, wall, not plugged in, pulling battery, etc.
I think what happened is that FeraLab needed a newer baseband than the 2.1 stock rom had. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this sucker to even turn on? Not a single LED is on when plugged in, giving me the impression that it's not charging.
If the battery has drained out, it might take some time before it kicks in and indicates that it is charging.
If the ROM has failed somehow, it might not show that it is charging at all, but might be charging.
Either way: Let it charge "blindly" for a while, and see what happens.
Once it does boot up to some level or shows life-signs, let it charge fully before you'l attempt a ROM flash.
The flash/recovery mode needs a full battery, and reason is that the external power isn't used even when connected while in flash/recovery mode.
If you happen to be in bad luck, and the ROM failed as a result of a drained battery, you might have to charge the battery externally. Use an external battery charger made for 3.6 volts Lithium Polymer batteries, and make sure to align the + and - terminals properly.
I can recommend the multicharger from Powerbase, called C-734U:
http://www.powerbasehk.com/product.php?id=148
Using it myself to charge the X10 battery, as well as other batteries from other devices I have.
EDIT:
(For some reason, powerbase has taken back that it'll charge Lipo batteries, but when I bought mine, it was described as a li-ion, li-poly and Ni-MH charger, and it't ability to charge li-poly batteries was the very one reason to why I bought it.
I suspect PowerBase does not want to take responsibility if anything happens to the li-poly-batteries, as they are known to be more dangerous than other types.)
I've left it on the wall charger all night, no response or anything. Luckily, I bought a new battery a few days ago, so when that comes in, hopefully it will be charged enough for this thing to boot.

Yeah, i'm not sure what he expected. But, good news! Now for some reason my phone started blinking red whenever I tried to turn it on! I guess the battery completely ran out or something. It also blinks every now and then when plugged in, so I guess it's charging. The previous owner of this phone said that it had some battery problems, so that's why I ordered that new battery. I'll let it charge for awhile and let you guys know what happens.
Okay, after getting my new battery, the phone will still not turn on. I think i've figured out two behaviors:
1. If the battery is nearly completely out of charge, it will flash a red light
2. If the battery has charge, it will not do anything at all.
Anyone know how to fix this?
While trying to turn on the phone, after long-press power button, do you get a flash from status led & short vibration?

No vibration, the red LED flashes three times, and that is , as I said before, what happens when the battery seems to not have any charge. If I have a charged battery it does absolutely nothing.
Have you removed sim & sd card and tried. I know it sounds dumb but when I flashed a bad kernel I had to try to connect flash mode like 10 times. Finally I left the phone unplugged from pc, started flashtool and started flashing. I only put battery in phone just before holding back key. I never connected USB until tool said to dis-connect phone and connect in flashmode.
i wish you luck, I know how I felt when it went wrong

Try to flash any latest kernel via flashtool . Go for doomkernel . I think its software issue . Try this first .
Almost same here please help..
Last night battery ran out of charge & phone switched off.. then i plugged the charger it doesn't charge.. after some time i tried turning on.. Vibrates with the green LED but nothing happens then..
Note: This is not the 1st time i'm letting my phone drain, but facing this problem for the 1st time..
Rom : Spikelabs GB Gaming rom
Kernel : Ferakernel v23 beta6
I tried another battery, charger, data cable.. Tried flashing stock & spikelabs kernel., but of no use..
Any help is greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance.. :good:
Something like that happened to me not long ago!
I was trying to flash some ROMs and I messed up then my phone wouldn't turn on!
But Miracously, I could flash a Stock 2.3.3 which fixed the problem!
At first, I used Sony PC Companion, which helped a lot- and after I screwed it for the second time, I used FlashTool-
I don't know if this was helpful, but I hope your x10 will be fixed soon!
yeah try the PC Companion first, it helped me too a couple of weeks ago
No luck...
Hi friends..
Tried to repair using PC companion, but was able to connect only in flash mode, unable to proceed software update..
I previously tried flashing stock GB using flashtool thrice. Still couldn't switch on the phone.. What else may i try..
Thanks friends..

SEUS not working _ couldn't connect to network..
SUS does not have x10 enlisted
Went to 3 service shops at - Ritchie street, Chennai. They simply said harware issue (Short in board) and gave back the phone.
Now given at a better service centre. Will get back on monday it seems. Will update the status friends..
Thanks..
Here also they said the same reason friends.. Short in board..
Is there any way i could recover the phone???
Okay, I was told to go here since people on AndroidForums.com had no clue on what to do.
Okay, here are my problems -
I received this Android from my mom and it was running Android 2.1. When I first got it, I turned it on without charging it. It booted up, came to the lockscreen, then about a second later turned off and now refuses to boot. I have tried flashing it with generic Android 2.1 and Stock ATT Android 2.1. But it refuses to do nothing but flashes a green light and vibrates. But that all it does. And PC Companion, SEUS, FlashTool have done nothing! So what do I do now? It accepts Flashes and restores, but it's like the Boot Files are corrupted. And I cannot JTAG, so is there any other options?
Thanks in Advanced,

I had quite the similar issue with my x10i. One day it just decided to stop working completely. No lights no nothing, tried everything, just dead. So I contacted SE and they said they could do nothing if the software had been tampered with, no matter how much I assured them if was a hardware related fault.. So I went to my carrier and they sent me to a phone repairing company (Fonemenders here in Ireland), who try fix the phone themselves by getting parts in from the manufacturers. If they deem your phone irreparable they will get you a new replacement. This is exactly what happened me. So the other day I received an email saying that seeing as my x10 couldn't be fixed, I'd be receiving a Sony Arc as a replacement! So i'm happily waiting for the Arc to get here while I use my moms old x8.
So my best advice if nothing is working, go to your carrier and hopefully they can get you through to a phone repairing place, and I wish you as good luck as my own
Well, I cannot replace the Phone since I am not really using it as a Phone. It will not be activated, it's just to mess around with. And I really don't want to buy a Samsung Galaxy Player just so I don't have to deal with this. So I'm going to try the Stock ROM now and see if it works. Do I have to wait for boot up or something?
Try to flash with SE Companion. It will work.
Well, I restored using SEUS because it's the only one that recognized the phone, other than FlashTool. After it restored, it said Unplug the phone and wait for first time. It will take a while. So I am currently doing that. Hope it turns on!
Well, I've restored it and it still sits here. What's next?
I am going to try to flash it using s1tool and see if that helps. Also, can someone please respond with what they think is wrong?
Okay, here's another question - In order to load the firmware you told me, does my Bootloader have to be UNLOCKED? If so, how do I do that without ROOT... Because I cannot do anything with the Phone.

I have a question for you... is the phone rooted ? If not then try following
1) start your PC companion and select update software
2) if software say, your phone is up to date then use here will be repair option you need to select it.
3) once you select repair it will download stock GB 2.3.3 and after download it will ask you to plug you phone in flash mode
4) remove phones battery and connect the phone to your laptop.
5) now place the battery back while holding down the back button (3rd button from left) { this step is important as this will get your phone into flash mode.
6) above steps should get your phone back onto stock unrooted ROM...
if you want then use flash tool to root it again but be careful with kernels and bootloader
Set from my Transforer TF101 using xda app-developers app
Well, I think I have tried that and it still won't boot. But I will try again. (PS - Sorry for this old thread, but I just needed a break on working on it! I am going to try again and see if it works!)
Here's the situation:
My sister did something bad about her phone(x10 mini pro).
It has a newly installed stock rom (the phone used to have cyanogen but she told me to revert it back to stock).
She told me that all she did was install SonyEricsson Xperia Flasher on her machine and used it to flash her x10 mini pro. The flasher tells her that it is succesfull but when she turned off her phone for a restart, the phone does not turn on anymore. I have tried charging the battery overnight as well as using a different working battery but it does not help. Pressing the power button does nothing. No led light, no vibration, nothing. I have also tried different button combo(tried almost any combination) found here in forums but it does nothing as well.
I bought this device to a tech guy which is in a mall and he is charging me Is there something else I can do to fix thing device without spending? Is there another way other than unbrickin it with JTAG?
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
SEUS does not help because the phone cannot be detected when plugged in because it doesnt turn on and yes, I tried using a different usb cable.
I think my sister flashed the wrong kernel.
Does the battery charge (green LED)?
Do you know someone with the same phone? Try his/her battery. I had this problem too once, it would not turn on or anything, untill i tried to insert another battery. Then it started up and all. After clear battery stats, it worked again with my own battery.
This gives me the assumption, that is has something to do with battery stat (doh') - therefore all guides about doing a SEUS or other stock flash, should also instruct users to do a clear battery stat before the stock-flash.
Any one correct me on this if i'm totally wrong

The Experia Flasher is not for the 2010 devices i think, so she may well have flashed the wrong firmware. SUS doesn't need to detect the phone, if you choose update and it can't recognise the phone it offers a repair option, this lets you choose the model yourself, it will download the proper firmware and all you have to do is connect your phone in flash-mode (ie hold the back-button while you plug in the usb-cable).
But she may well have bricked it properly and in that case, JTagging it is the only option to get it back up and working.
Screen-shots are from the old PC Companion, byt they still looks very much like them in the new version

It doesnt help because when Im in the part where it says, press the back button while inserting the usb, the phone cannot be detected and so the update cannot continue.
