[Q] My xperia x10 is caught in bootloop - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just installed busybox and then my phone is rebooting again and again!!
What can I do to stop it?
I don't know how to boot it into recovery. I did it once (before I installed busybox) by clicking the back button when it's starting, but it's not working now.
I tried to do it from quick boot (while my phone stays on for a minute or less) but it doesn't work.
I have xperia x10 rooted to android 2.2 with cyanogenmod 6
thanks in advance

1. Connect usb cord to computer
2. Turn off your phone for at least 5 seconds.
3. Hold the back button on your phone (Do not release)
4. Connect micro usb into your phone
5. Release back button
A solid greed LED will show if you have done it correctly.

Just a tip for you on this one
Disconnect the USB from the PC and plug it into the phone, do the steps above but at step 4, plug the USB (already connected to the phone) into your PC its so much easier.

I fixed it..thank you guys

[Q] Rebooting at start

Hello dear xda users.
Today since 1-2 hours ago something terrible happened. My X10i .. keeps rebooting at the "Sony Ericsson" startup.
History:
I updated to 2.2 Beta 4, but I forgot to update the kernel so the phone kept rebooting, but not at startup, only after a couple of minutes.
I flashed to the required kernel, but decided to go back to Beta 3 instead, and the same problem occured here too, also that the wifi and mobile network were out of function.
And I remembered that I had made an backup of my original version with xRecovery, so I restored the phone and tried to switch back to Beta 3 and this is when the **** happened..
Am I screwed?
Stuffs Ive tried:
* Flash the version back (cannot enter flash mode anymore) = fail
* Tried to make a factory reset through PC Companion (cannot enter flash mode) = fail
I need help guys, this phone is only 2 weeks old. I just want to cry, dunno what to do
Bump! No one?
Also tried to pull out battery while the phone connected with usb, pressing back key and inserting key.
I have a thought, maybe its that my phone isnt being recognized by the computer due to problem with USB drivers. Does any1 know how I can manually install it?

Please flash ypur phone with SEUS or PCC or even better with THIS tool.
If you need help with flashtool go HERE
On Flashtool thread download you FW (X10i Generic)
Using Flashtool you were able (after flash) to root, install latest xRecovery, etc.
Hope it helps

x10 not booting..

i rooted my phone but now my it won't even start..it's stuck on the white sony ericsson..any help?
What method did you use to root? What firmware were you on?
Maybe hook it up to your PC and try repair via SEUS.
i tried to repair it using sony ericsson and it's not working..i used super click root
Just download flashtools 0.26 and download a copy of the latest 2.1 firmware.
reflash your firmware with the cable.
Then start again what you want to do.
Can you go to flash mode?
If you can, repair with SEUS or use flashtool - simple.
my phone is ok now
i downloaded .435 rom for flashtool (i think that is unroot)
remove the battery, hold the back button, turn on flashtool in computer, plug usb to phone,
then plug the battery.....
click "flash" on the flashtool, and i keep holding the back button....
finally, i can flash to .435 now
my x10 reborn !!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

at first, i want to use this method to flash from 2.2 beta3 to .435
but i failed because my phone suddenly fell down.
and i cannot get into xrecovery anymore, so i give up this method.
therefore i downloaded a .435 rom for flashtool from here (which is a .ftf file)
remove battery
press "back", plug USB cable, plug battery,
click "flash" on computer
and start flashing.......

[Q] 3 problems in my x10

Hi all. I have multiple problems in my x10i.it has 2.1 It was rooted and worked fine..few days ago I tried to wipe the phone and did the master reset via xrecovery ..after the restart it just hanged at the boot logo and xrecovery is not working from then....I wanted to update with SEUS via USB... but the phone is not connecting as well...What should I do? PLZ HELP ME GUYZ........
Hi,
Seus doesn't recognize your x10 even if you hold back button while plugging usb (flash mode) ?
This week my x10 2.1 crashed (I suppose it was because of rooting with superoneclick without rebooting immediatly), and wasn't recognized by windows. It was in a loop turnig on/off and only putting off battery could turn it off really. Big Problem.
The only solution I found : putting off battery, pluggin usb cable, holding back button and putting on battery. Back button still hold (like flash mode) until seus recognize x10. Then it runs alone and install rom (after I rooted with flashtools and launched jit optimisation, witch increase truely x10 performances!).
Probably seus not recognize your phone because you have a rooted and custom firmware in your x10 and xrecovery is not working because you did a reset and then you delete some files from your phone, you can reinstall it with the x10flashtool or to make a complete restore firmware whit the same x10flashtool
If SEUS/PCC doesn`t recognize your phone, remove them from PC and reinstall them.
You have an USB driver problem

Did you wait for at least 30 seconds before putting battery inside phone (to make sure clearing all memories? And sure you hold back button before, during and after?
Otherwise, what does happen if you press and hold volume button before turning on the phone (and keep volume button hold)?

Well your usb is definitly working then as its glowin green?..
Are you sure you are doing it all right? It happened the same to me, and it ended I was pressing the wrong buttom (I knew which one was the correct one, but was blind cause I was scared that Ive broke it totally), a day later I noticed it and I was able to flash my phone.
However, read a guide and follow it step by step, reinstall everything and start from beginning maybe?
Or use the repair function with PC Companion
Hi! I had the same problem!
1. Search and download from this forum Flashtool 0.2.6
2. Install it.
3. Download from this forum one generic ROM (for exemple X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 )
4. Put the file in directory Flashtool/firmware
5. Launch X10flashtool.exe
6. DO NOT PUT THE USB CABLE IN THE PHONE
7.From option "flash select the desired ROM
8. Wait the program to begin(a picture will appear)
9. Pressing the back button, insert the usb cable.
10. Wait the flashing to begin and release the back button.
Follow instructions and WAIT around 5 minutes until flashing will complete
11. Send me two words if it helps you! Success!

[Q] Bricked mini pro, event cant flash with flashtool

I tried to flash nAa kernel(unlocked bootloader successfully before) with flashtool and flastool said it succeed. When i reboot my phone it comes up with nAa kernel screen and reboots again. It goes into an infinite loop within rebooting phone, only showing nAa kernel splash screen, nothing more and reboot. I can reach to cwm recovery. I flashed the latest MiniCM7-2.2.0 custom rom and wiped user data/cache. Same problem remained.
I decided to go back the original stock kernel and rom via flashtool. You know the rest; you select the stock files then press ok then it says "oh, ungplug usb, power off, hold back button and plug in usb again". I did this steps several times but flashtool cant recognize my phone. Not even a blink. The weird thing is, when i power off my phone and plugin usb(not doing the holding back button thing) the green light is on(it is not offline charging i know it) same as it goes into flashmode. I tried flashtool again with hope but couldnt recognized phone again. Even S1 tool cant recognize my phone. It seems completly lost!
I tried hopelessly with Pc Companion and get the same result. I found a post about "Gordons Gate Driver" but couldnt get any result with that. No tool can recognize my phone in flashmode, in normal mode(talking about the infinite rebooting state, not even a blink from flashtool).
Im out of ideas, even out of google . Is there someone to provide me with new idea? Or is there something im missing? Please help.
Thank you for reading my adventure hope someone helps.

You did not mention the model of your phone.
Always mention the model when posting.
In 2011 devices:
Press Volume DOWN key for flashmode(for flashing firmware via flashtool)
Press Volume UP key for fastboot mode(for flashing kernel)

[HELP] x10 mini does not power on

Hi everyone,
I have problems with my x10 mini - probably there is issue with bootloader - phone doesn't rised after reflashing stock FW.
Let me start from the beginning:
1) I wanted to have MiniCM10 on my phone
2) I unlocked bootloader (procedure taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225)
3) I flashed nAa jb kernel (procedure taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837135)
4) and then problems occur
5) My xperia catched a bootloop (stuck on nAa animation)
6) I flashed stock kernel (using Flashtool)
7) My xperia catched a bootloop (stuck on SE animation)
8) I did factory reset and wipe cache in recovery X - did not help
9) I flashed stock ROM (using Flashtool)
10) xperia powered on, vibrated, blinked for a few times and went to sleep...
Currently I cannot get into flashmode (back button+USB in) so I cannot use either flashtool to reflash the rom or SEUS (or SMUS now).
Is there any other way to get xperia into flash mode? Is there any way to bring my phone to life? Currently, my computer recognizes x10 as x8, and flashtool gives info that it is in MTP mode.
I have experence in flashing Samsung (i5700 and i9000), although this tiny phone is quite a challange
Thank you for your help.

Well, if your phone turns off by itself waiting for battery-death doesn't do any good, especially since you just charged it all night Could take months...
Start it up with usb connected already and flashtool ready to flash (with the popup on screen), as soon as the screen-backlight ligths up press power- and home-buttons together and press the back-button when the light goes off again.

Well, I guess, the first time you flashed the JB kernel, you tried to run it on stock ROM... that doesn't work.
Don't know if you did the formats required for the jb-rom, but that would have prevented the stock rom from running properly.
And maybe the cache and dalvik-cache were still filled with old junk from a previous ROM, preventing the new ones from starting properly.
one of these, or a combination maybe... i'm not sure...
