Hi guys,
I recently bricked my X10a and have been having problems trying to connect it to my pc. I can get it into flash mode and connect it to my pc but when its plugged into my computer, FlashTool can't detect it and my computer can't either. Is there anyway I can check? if I have the proper drives? Also if I don't have it is there a way to download it? Thx in advanced.
Btw I'm using my freinds HTC G2 USB cable to connect it to my pc. Could this be effecting it? Do I need the official sony ericsson USB EP700? Thx for this as well.
Running windows vista home basic 32-bit
do you have seus the sony ericsson program on your computer?
I believe that will help you get the proper drivers when you install it.
its on the sony ericsson website under downloads.

Use SEUS i have the same and it helped me
I tried using seus but it won't read my phone at all. Unless I have a broken USB port on my phone It can charge but not connect to my computer.
Are you using a USB hub?
It's straight into my computer. Idk whats going on :\
Do you have a firewall or something similar installed? It might interfere with the connection if you have the firewall settings set to very high. Might need to specifically set permissions for it to have seus and the drivers run...
After doing some research I'm almost certain it is the cable. This cable is the official one from HTC and on further reading it says only compatible with HTC phones. But thank's for the help guys. I'm gonna but a new SE USB cable and hope it turns out good. I'll be back if anything goes amiss.
Come on... Tired to read "I bricked my x10" when you have 1% to really brick it, is this so hard to use correct words ??????????
Bricking is non-sense in x10, even with custom kernels... PSP CAN be bricked, a "real" brick, not x10.
It looks many people is new to this, there's no problem but it's very boring to read sensefull words for everything... These people definitely didn't live the period bricking was meaning something.

Bricking in the x10 world is the bootloop. When our bootloader gets cracked the meaning of it will change.

I agree, but bootloop is no way a brick.
Misunderstanding dogs and cats is pretty weird
Hopefully with loader hack we will give indeed a much more realistic meaning to what bricking is
I also learned that the hard way i guess.

No, you just need a plain USB cable. I have both the X10 and the HTC HD2 and I use the same USB cables between the two. No issues.
Hey! its hard to brick an X10.. maybe you have a lower battery problem. try to charge it fully with an a universal charger or another X10. and use another desktop,USB port. the cable must be an a micro USB only. its doesen matter if the cable comes from an HTC, Nokia or other device, it shoud work Remember the drivers.. hope it helps! Sorry for my english, am from argentina

You have a broken USB port ! x10's disease !!!
You should return your X10 to a Sony Repair Center.

Hey.my xperia x10 battery's was low so to save battery i shut it down.Afterward i put it on charging and it wasn't charging nor turning on..even the led was not working..phone was completely dead..then i plugged the battery in universal charger and it was charging.I let the battery charge for 6-7 hours then put it back on phone it was still not turning on...i also tried to hard reset the phone but it didn't work.Any suggestions??
Reinstall the firmware, but only when your sure the charger charged the battery, otherwise that could brick your X10, when the battery runs out while flashing the device.

How do reinstall firmware?
Sorry to hear about this issue. A bit strange that the battery will charge but only with this 3rd party charger. Have you tried to connect a different micro-USB charger to the phone just to make sure that your Sony Ericsson charger (the one that came with the phone) is not the problem?
Anyway, to fix this you should first try what Flo95 is suggesting.
Download Update Service for this, go to sonyericsson dot com /updateservice.
(I'm new here so I can't post links yet.)
Make sure to charge the battery before you put it back into the phone.
The phone must be powered off during the whole update process so the fact that you can't turn it on right now does hopefully not mean that you cannot update/reinstall the software.
If this won't help or if this can't be performed, you should ask your dealer to send the phone to a repair center since the problem might be hardware related.
Hope this helps!

Hi there SE employee! Welcome to our community. Now can you please give us the unlocked bootloader? It's totally enough to just upload it somewhere like mediafire or rapidshare. Thanks in anticipation

Barking up the wrong tree qwer23.
Markus is in the "Answers" section. Where strangely enough...They answer questions about hardware issues and SE updating. Not modding, tweaking or de-installation to more streamlined Android versions.
Anyway...
Hi Markus.
Nice to see you have left facebook for a few minutes. lol
@qwer23,
Bootloader? Hmm.. don't know what you're talking about Obviously, I'm sure you know our stance on bootloaders, 2.2+ and rooting. I'm just here to try and help out with those tricky troubleshooting questions for now.
@Kiefels,
Thanks! I try to be everywhere!
Stuck at Vibrant screen. Cant geet in bootloader or recovery. I have odin, have the .pit and everything but when I go into download mode, Odin nor my computer will recognize the phone... Please help. Thanks!
pull the battery 1st and then replace back in then hold the lower volume key down along with the on button try that or get a jig
U need samsung drivers
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Depending on what your friend was running, yes, you need to install the drivers so that when you connect your pc recognizes it. It's not bricked, no worries... keep calm.
I made a post with the drivers, but you would likely find it faster with a quick google search.
sell it for parts on Ebay

re-install driver, change usb cable, etc...
What I've found is that 9/10 its the USB cable when the computer doesn't recognize the device. I'd check it first. Now a better question is what did you do to your friends phone to brick it with out it being plugged to the computer in the first place?

in addition to what you said, sometimes, pluggin it in a different usb works too.
Agreed!
The damn cables suck! Almost 1/2 need to be replaced eventually, and it makes you question the integrity of the device itself. They should make better cables or provide you with 2 when you purchase the phone.
I upgraded my phone to official ics with pc companion. It was working perfectly about one month but then suddenly it bricked. yesterday I had low battery (3 %) and I pluged it in charger and left so and in the morning I saw it's charged and unpluged. but then in 5 min I went back to phone and I saw it's OFF. I wanted to start it and when I pushed power button only sony logo appeared and then black screen, then I removed battery and did that again (did so 2 times) and then when I inserted battery again and pushed power button it didn't react at all. no vibration no screen light. when I plug it to charger it doesn't react as well... so It doesn't react to any flashtool or smth.. please if you can,help me with it I'll really appreciate your help..
p.s I have locked bootloader and was always running official roms..
I think your the 3rd person this had happened on this site. But unfortunately, nobody has figured it out.
I may of had an idea, did you charge your phone under your pillow? As my gets really hot and discharges under mine. So I thought maybe yours had overheated and burnt out?

it was on the opened aria but I've checked already nothing is burned there.. but anyway thanks.. bad that it(brick) comes from nowhere and no solution so far....

it doesn't react to usb even in flash mode (with flashtool ) any ideas....?
Hmm, I had the same problem on my phone.
I just wiped batterystats and it worked fine.
Maybe try that?
Or check your usbcable, or change it.
Or do you use any third party usbcable?

have you tried changing the battery? try finding anyone of ur frens that have the ray and sway their full battery with yours. Since from your previous post seems like the battery didnt charge at all.
I think the problem with 4.0.3 (and cwm) is that sometime it can not charge while off. But I think your case might be different if it is not recognised at all. Can you try borrow someone battery?
I have some external battery charger and I'm charging battery with it but anyway thanks guys I'll try it today.. will find another ray battery..
guys I identified problem.. bootloader is dead.. but it can be repaired with a setool.. I'm connecting phone with using testpoints to pc and windows recognizes it but no other software.. just setool, for what I need some cards and it's paid.. so if somebody can help me with setool please contact me.. I'd really appreciate and will consider donation..

Does the 4.0.3 update bring auto unplug upon full charge, or is it a hardware mod?

Hi, I have a bricked Ray. When booting y can see Sony logo and then a black screen.
No adb nor fastboot can see phone, Flashtool detects phone is connected but can not do any action. Can not acces recovery or bootloader
Is there any chance for me other than technical service?

Hi, i repair my usb port two times. First time in gsm service and succesfull my usb work but.. 5 week(service give me guarantee for 4 week x(... ). My port didn't work again. Then i give x10 too my cousin and he repair port in half. I can charg battery (but working like charging in usb mode... Take many hours). Connecting with pc don't see phone, and flashtool too.
Possible is make something what allow me flash .ftf karnel ? I don't care about mass storage or faster charging. More important is going to ICS. Acctualy i use Achotjan stock repl~ but after 6 months phone going crazy laggy. I know about fresh install etc. But on ics is multitasking and easy removing app working in background.

Unfortunately the only way to flash kernels in the x10 is via USB. Kernels in the newer phones can be flashed in the phone (Fastboot) using .img. You need to make the data contacts contacting with the usb port. THIS may help your cousin.
I bought my Z2 from a gsm shop and they gave me 1 year store warranty. If I take my device to the shop and tell them I was doing OTA update they would replace it? My device is completely dead, no signs of life, no responses. I tried many solutions to get it working but it's not working, no flashmode no fastboot, no vibrate when I force it to turn off. So can they check my device somehow that I f***ed it up or it was the OTA update?
Did you try the repair feature through the Sony software with you PC? Might be worth a shot if you haven't.
What did you do, or try to do that it is now doing nothing?
Another stupid question... But is the battery dead?

Sony PC Companion can't recognize my phone. when I try to get into flashmode in flashtool it says: "device connected with usb debugging off" so I can't get into flashmode.
I did OTA update, and then it went wrong
I tried to charge the battery for about 4-5 hours
anyone?
So
I soft-bricked a Motorola once, can't remember which, and i was pretty n00b so I just took it back. The guys at the shop looked at it, tried booting it and plugged it in their PC. They asked me what happened and I told them that i had simply switched it off and now it wasn't working.
I don't exactly remember what they did on their PC, i guess they simply tried ADB or Motorolas utility. Anyway if its retail shop, you should be able to get your money back. I got mine, and i bought L3 :shame:

If it is hard bricked, I believe that you can just go to the shop, and tell them that the phone switched off and wont switch on again, no need to tell them about updates or anything...
A general rule of thumb in such cases (in my opinion) is to claim that u didnt do anything that could possibly cause something like this.
They most likely wont be able to tell whether u f***ed up or not
Just pretend you're a complete n00b.
