Xperia doesnt start - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
The xperia of a friend doesnt boot anymore?
He told me he pushed on update under settings and he had and 1.6 that i know off.
I tried flashboot but in the middle of the instalation it gives me a error.
Also i chanched the battery because it kept falling off out suddenly.
Whit the new battery it started normal bt after update it cant boot anymore?
thats all the information i got
Could this be a usb problem in the charger the led goes green on the phone and also the pc recognize it.
Sorry 4 the bad english btw
Thanx in advance

A quick simple to use fix is Re-flashing using SEUS "sony Erricson Update Service"
Or using the FlashTool from the development thread.

AFter 11 retrys on SEUS it installed the update.
when the phone turned on i saw a picture of a camera and after that a sony ericson logo.
And then it turned off and it doesnt go on again.
Even with the new battery installed + a new cable????
But the green light says its charging but maybe it isnt?
USB port problem?????

Finally got it going android starts everything works but now the phone turns off out of nowhere?

Seus does not working...failed
Use updated flashtool (0.2.6)
Not really possible that the green light doesn't show up when u press the back key and plug it in... could u go into xRecovery?
finally seus done it well, but after a few sessions. regards
for other users that might have the same problem:
flash mode will not work unless the battery is well charged (in my case battery had to be over 50%). so:
don't panic.
turn off phone completely (if it won't exit from the boot loop, remove battery for few seconds).
plug in charger and let it charge for couple hours. try flashing.
i was stuck with this issue one long night
Dis something similar and I'm seeing the same result, battery was at about 40-50% when I flashed it. I plugged the charger cable in but there is no light indicating that its charging, and I can't get back into xRecovery , anyone have any suggestions? I'm also at work and we work on macs here, is there any mac osx compatible tool out there that can bring my x10 back to life?

[Q] HELP NEEDED X0i, IS SCREWED TRIED EVERYTHING!!

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

boot / battery problem

Hi everyone
yesterday I bought a X10 (it wasn't brand new)
I turned it on and it asked me for settings (language, time, etc) (yeah it's not new but they changed the rom before sell it to me)
I worked with it for like 10-15min and I got a big vibrate and it turned off. I pluged it into the charger, there was an orange led for 5min and then nothing, when I tried to turn the phone on I saw SE logo and it restarted. I plugged it to the charger, nothing again, not even orange led
I took it to a store and they shocked the battery, i came back, turned it on, it booted ok everything was fine,I plugged it again to full charge. orange led for 1.5h and then green led.I worked with it a short time then turned it off to put the sim and sd card in
when I turned it on it booted till lock screen and rebooted. again SE logo then boot again
it sometimes boot till lock screen sometimes only se logo and reboot
when it goes to lock screen I see antena has red x on it, i thought maybe that's the problem, i removed sim and sd, still the same
Please please please help me
ps 1: I can't connect it to the pc, I tried but when pc wants to recognize it and install drivers, it stops and says "not successful"
Have a look in the dev section for flashtool (there's a tutorial in the q&a section), look in the firmwares sticky in the dev section and download the firmware for your region. I suggest you pick a generic firmware. Now use flashtool to flash the firmware to the phone.
This should solve the problem.
thank you Frosty for fast answer
but my problem is my pc dosen't recognize the phone
flashtool works even without drivers?
Flashtool works in flash mode. If you can't get your computer to recognise the phone when it is powered on, it should still recognise it in flash mode. If not, there is an option in flashtool to install the drivers.
Sent from my x10, rocking Wolf's 2.3.3 + DooMKernel, overclocked to 1.2 GHz...
good, so I think I still have a chance to fix it
btw, now I have stock 2.3.3 installed
which rom do you recommend? should I install 2.3.3 again or downgrade to 2.1?
I want it to support farsi
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
is right?
You could do 2.3.3 or 2.1. It shouldn't matter.
As for Farsi support, 2.1 supports more languages than 2.3.3 I think. I just checked the list of available languages on my 2.3.3 ROM and Farsi isn't listed. 2.1 might support it.
You could always try both to see which one better suits your needs.
That firmware you have is 2.3.3, by the way.
thank you so much frosty
I asked if i could install 2.3.3 because now have 2.3.3 and i have this problem. installing same version will fix it?
and one question about baseband
should i download one or it comes in firmware pack/zip
if I have to download it, how do I know which one?
Your're welcome.
Oh, in that case, you should be fine.
The baseband is included in the firmware file.
I'm facing a weird problem
I can't turn my phone on, I've been told to try flashtool and install a new rom
my old rom was 2.3.3
I downloaded flashtool and X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
first time I tried instrudoction in second post in this topic. it seems flashtool recognized my device and startet flashing but after a few min it said flash aborted
I wanted to try again but this time even before i connect the device to usb cable, flashtool say flashing start and nothing happen
I also tried SE update service, it downloaded the rom and it seem it worked (second green bar went to the end and said disconnect phone and restart)
I restart the phone but it reset after SE logo, sometime it boot till lock screen and reset again
Please help me
Sorry to say this, but you might be out of luck.
If re-flashing stock couldn't fix it, your issue may be a hardware problem.
Do you have any sort of warranty? If it's second hand, you probably don't.
You could try taking it to a Sony Ericsson service center and see if they can do anything.
omg
I'm officially beeeeeep
thanks anyway Frosty
btw, pc campanion and se update service do something different
is it possible that pc companion can fix it?
Well you could try. Couldn't hurt.

[Q] X10 Mini Pro Boot and Flashing Problem

Hi guys/girls/undecideds,
My phone made me a sad panda recently when it stopped booting correctly - on startup it vibrates as it should, the screen lights up, but does nothing more - it does NOT reach the sony-ericsson logo that comes up, and the light goes off. It continues to repeat this loop about once every five or so seconds.
Obviously, not being a total moron (i'm only like, 40% moron), my first thought was to reflash the software, but I can't, because every time I connect the phone to flashtool, it disconnects a couple of seconds later and obviously, the flashing fails.
Can you help me find my smile?

It's behind the cupboard on the second floor, you left it there last week
But on a more serious note, have you tried doing a repair using either SEUS or PC Companion? It flashes your phone all the way back to original firmware, but that's always better than nothing
Yes, i've since repaired the firmware and the problem persists.
If you start it up, does the led flash red?
Nothing from the LED. Only time I can see the LED is when it's on charge.
uhmmm... i guess Sony-Ericsson repair center would be an option at this point, wouldn't know what it could be.
Was this just random? Or any damange happend?.. Looks like some harware issue.. If u can find some video's on youtube make for disassmely n check if internal the connection are connected properly. Specially the flex which connects to the motherboard.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
Yes, disassembled and reassembled the phone and checked all the internal connections, and everything seems fine as far as I can tell - I disconnected and then reconnected all the connections anyway just in case, and the problem persists.
Problem just started one day, but I was drunk at the time (surprise surprise) so it's not inconceivable that it MAY have taken some damage, but I'm very much certain it did not.
Ok can u tel which ROM n kernel u are on?? N after connecting ur phone into flash mode ( as u said in the main thread ) it disconnects, can u tell which error it reports from its log..
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
No idea which rom and kernel - what's on it currently will be the latest firmware that PC companion repairs with.
I can't tell which error it is, it just says "error: flashing aborted" in flashtool.

Once, I got the same problem as you... I solved it via SEUS... Seeing you said 'PC Companion', I suugest you to use SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service). Those are two different programs..
Hopefully, it helps..
And, by the way, what happened when you open flashtool, and connect your phone in flash mode ? Does it keep getting errors, or just when you tried to flash some kernel ?
