Hi,
I've had a useless X10 here for months. I've done everything to try and reinstall the firmware including SEUS, Update Service and Flashtool. Nothing works and I cannot access my phone.
I was hoping I could get it working with the new flashtool. After running it and connecting the phone, it's giving me the error:
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - Then go to application settings
12/000/2011 22:00:44 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
The problem I'm having is, I haven't been able to get my x10 to turn on. Is there a way to flash without having debugging enabled?
Thanks.
Try to reinstall the drivers
are you rooted?

Try this:
1 - remove the battery and wait for 4 - 5 minutes;
2 - reinsert the battery;
3 - put your phone to charge in a wall socket (not thru USB);
4 - leave it charging for about 3 - 4 hours (check if the led is on);
5 - try to flash a stock rom using flashtool.
My X10 has an issue with the battery that makes it power off and not turn on while I don't do steps 1 and 2. I've tried to reflash a stock rom, but had received the same error you have, until I put the battery to charge during the entire night. After the recharge, I was able to reflash the rom fine (altough the problem of shutting off randomsly still happens).
Hope it helps.
I've tried using flashtool after charging my phone for a good 10 hours. It takes around 4-6 hours to flash 7-8/10 files then the battery dies.
Nothings working. The new flashtool demands the phone have unknown sources and debugging enabled but I can't since I cannot access my phone.
And if it matters at all my phone was rooted with FreeX10 rom.
GTFIH X10 geeks, help me.
when it just wont work
CHARGE PHONE TOO 100% BEFORE STARTING ANYTHING.
First ALL FLASHTOOLS Have to be done in Administrator mode on your PC/laptop and this may also fix that messed up usb port you seem to have on it to. You should NEVER charge you phone for more then 2ish hours in fact it should only take about 1.5 to 2 hours if not then you have a bad one. Also you should check that your usb drivers are up to date before you start. And Be Patient.
Had the same problem last year. What you need to do is uninstall all Se software Pc Companion an Se update Sevice and all Java.
If you have a registry cleaner and or an uninstaller (not windows) like Revo Uninstaller free or Pro use it to uninstall an clean registry. (BUT NOT IN Administrator Mode only Flashtool needs this)
Do a disk clean up Local Disk C:drive/right click properties/click disk cleanup/click all boxes/Click run/clean.
Reboot wait till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading).
Yes boot again.
Reboot wait till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading).
The first boot sets up your cleanup the second boot starts a fresh boot cycle again wait for full load up light stops.
Reinstall all programs letting them update them self. JAVA first Pc Companion then Se update Service rebooting on each one NOT all at once (waiting till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading) each time.
This helps your stack/drive stay clean.
If you do not have 7zip (free) you should get it now an download an install it reboot PC (waiting till stack OS/drive light stops flickering (stops loading).
When connecting phone to PC use a different USB port then the one you used at first.
Now Start Pc Companion and let it do it's thing, do as it says, connecting phone to update Pc Companion to it.
Then do the same for Se update doing as it says and do an update and/or repair.
If it says to unplug or plugin USB just unplug/plugin the USB on the PC not the phone and making sure that you put it back in the same USB port.
Create a folder on C: drive:
Right click Start/Explore/Click (high light) Local Disk(C) click file/new/folder/
right click new folder/rename/Flashtool version ?.?.?
Download And Save to Folder you made on the C: drive

Reboot wait till stack OS/drive stops loading (light stops flickering).
When using Flashtool do not unplug USB from PC and when plugging in for flashing just remove battery plug mini USB in phone hold back button an put battery back in.
While Flashing NEVER TURN OFF/CLOSE FLASHTOOL until the phone is up and working completely.
After putting firmware in folder.
Right Click/x10Flashtool/Click Run As Administrator.
And follow the instruction in all the guides and all should be good.

With the SDK what would I have to learn to fix the phone?
Can you get in to xrecovery if you can clear all. If not try pluging in to usb xrecovery should come up. Sorry so late I'm not at my pc all update this when i get home.
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
make sure you have a sim card in the phone, that might get you past your problems
Do you have x10.sin in loaders in flashtool?
Is your USB cable connected through a hub? There is absolutely no reason it should take anywhere near that long to flash unless your connection is to slow. I tried flashing while plugged through a passive hub and it would get to ~70% and fail everytime until I plugged directly into the PCs USB port. Flashing should only take a few minutes if you have a good USB connection.

Its your battery. Its not charging correctly. U may need a new one since u can't turn it on

Did you get it fixed ?? Phone power should be at least 60% when you start anything
To get in to xrecovery turn off phone wait 5 seconds then turn on phone and pressing the back button tell it comes up if it doesn't try again and if it still doesn't then you didn't do something right.
Also try SU update repair.
Try turning off phone plug in usb to phone then pc then turn on phone if you flashed right xrecovery should come up on phone then scroll down with volume button to advanced setting clear all then re-flash Firmware. if not re-root install xrecovery if that does not work start ALL over from start with my first post on the 24th. my guess is you are missing some steps.
@GravvyTrain
Yes I do have a Sim card in the phone, problem remains the same
@Dusza Spc
Yes I do have the x10.sin file in flashtool
@CMoney87
Not using a hub, directly into my laptop USBS. Also tried on various computers, same problem. It's the phone.
@Lion3494
I doubt it's my battery, I've used another and same problem.
@Patricks_book
Have not fixed the problem. I literally can't access anything on the phone, When you press the power button it vibrates and thats it. I've tried accessing Xrecovery and It doesn't do anything.
I've tried SU Update Repair and it gives me a network error (I've disabled firewalls, tried on another computer) and It doesn't allow me to go any furthur (wrote the exact error in a previous thread).
I haven't missed any steps, It just doesn't flash.
Awesome to make things even better, my phone won't go green when on USB.
Put the phone onto charge and all it gives me is blinking red light.
Goodnight sweet X10.

Hey Guys!!
Ok, so I;ve been googling and searching for hours and hours and I'm still unsure as of what to do.
I have already updated an X10mini e10a successfully using xrecovery and flashing with binary's flashtool.
My oproblem is with another phone, same model same country etc.
I cannot update the firmware etc and baseband here using seus, so I tried to flash using flashtool. Device is rooted and had xrecovery installed.
THen it went wrong. I tried to update the baseband with flashtool and I had forgotten that I had not reinstalled xrecovery on the new generic rom.
I aslo managed to select the wrong update for flashing and now the boot is stuck in the famous bootloop. It actually arrives at the lock screen, but then crashes after 20 seconds.
The problem is that I can;t boot into recovery mode. Flashtool allows me to gain root access and even push apk files to the device before it reboots again.
I tried to install xrecovery from the menu using flashtool but it says restarting device in recovery but does not.
SEUS does not help me at all, it says there are no new up0dates, and when I try to recover, I get an error after the download has finsihed.
If I try to flash a generic firmware (the original one that i had already successfully installed before the screwup), flashtool tells me that I need to go into the device and enable usb debugging, which of course I cannot.
Is there a way I can do this in adb? How would this be performed? Would i just push a zip or are there a whole list of commands to do. I can;t seem to find a guide in the forums that applies to me.
Thanks guys!!
Get seus to the point where it sais turn off and hold back button while connecting the USB cable.
Then instead of turning it off, just press home+power button at the same time to reboot the device then release and try to get it right with the back button and pushing in the usb cable. Easy!
Might have to give it a few tries, I made it on my second try the first time I needed to do it
It's not a problem of getting the phone into service/flash mode, I have been doing it this way with no problem. SEUS just says I have the most up to date software, and pc suite gives an error when trying to repair.
I woul update with flashtool, but it tells me to turn on usb debugging which i obviously can't do.
Thanks for the help though, I only found out about the 3finger reboot earlier today. Had been removing the battery cable!!
I got that, but with SEUS i just press install anyways so I don´t get it really.. try removing cache on the SEUS program, maybe that helps
Done that too no joy either.
Im now completely out of ideas
did you try to install xrecovery from ADB Mask Controller?i dont know if its possible without usb debugging but give it a try or try to push files manualy if you can

I haven't tried that, I did a backup of the vanilla os before i flashed the rom so if it works I should be able to revert to vanilla again.
How would I go about doing this?
take a look here, is the app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868423
try to see if you can connect on your phone
I tried thap program, looks like I could have a lot of fun with it on my working x10mini!!!
It does not connect to my other mini. Flash mode gives no device connected, and when it starts to load, I can connect but only until the device restarts itself, I cannot push apks either as there is not enough time, or they just fail, and although I can install busybox, it always tells me it is not installed, nor is root. I think this might be because the superuser apk must be asking me a question, but as the lock screen crashes on boot, I am unable to access it to allow access.
Driving me crazy.
I think my last hope is to flash with adb, but i have no idea to do that.
Is there a way to install xrecovery e10a by adb? How would I do this?
If this works I can just restore my old image and start from the beginning again
Would I use sin files, or would I use

Do you have install SEUS? Maybe you need install drivers from seus...
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
First Install SESU then install flash tools
connect phone and let it install drivers automatically..
restart system, then install flash tools.
most important thing is you must keep USB debugging mode on in phone..
its in Setting->application->development....
if everything is done well, flash tool will work properly.....
if not then please check yor processess in taskmanager, you must have running adb.exe ........
thanks both very much for your help, where do i download the sues driver from?
Just install Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) from their web site and you will get the drivers that you need
okey i unlocked the bootloade with this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225 then i had "no service" on my phone (i think beacuse i used the msm7227_Setool2.cmd). first i thought it might be an problme with the software so i installed MiniCM7-2.1.3 because the bootloader was unlocked. but htat didnt fix it. but now i accidentally flashed it with the stock kernel. it wont boot and it wont go into flashmode. so can you plz give me any suggestions how to solve this problem? thanks!
sorry if i made any mistakes im new to this forum
it just shows the sony ericsson logo
have you tried pc companion and update service it may get your phone working.
yes but it says i have to activate the usb on it to connect/use it with pc companion. and as i doesnt boot, i cant do this.
Have you tried se update service as you say your phone is not booting.
If update service can't do the magic then you will have to go for flashing tool ....
i cant get into flashmode (when the green led is on). so update service and pc companion dont detect it
now use flashtool and follow all the instruction on this link below

thanks for your help
Please someone advise
I have read about a million threads and am unable to find the answer
My SE x10 mini e10i is in a constant boot loop showing the SE logo
I have tried using SEUS and it worked first time around,but after having tried a different rom to flash again with same problem
This time around it wont repair saying that the version is up to date
Also same with PC companion
First time around Flashtool did not work when I had my phone in USB debugging mode and started to flash it put USB debugging mode off and rebooted the phone. The only ftf that worked was nAa-08 - 2.6.29.6 loader and kernel. The rest of them it gave me the error of USB debugging turned off.
Now it doesn't even want to pass the logo and there is not CWM or xrecovery on the phone. When i try to flash it,the phone resets out of Flash mode and says USB debugging if off please turn on
Please if someone can advise. I even tried updating USB drivers,changing admin rights ex.

SE X10mini with GINGER-DX
HAAHAHAH!!!
Can't believe it,after no sleep and lots of coffee
Got it working,plus flashed GingerDx which is one awesome amazing rom
The whole problem was with Windows 7
After extensive googling, I came across information that Windows 7 compatibility has issues with USB Debugging drivers
Had to set restrictions within Windows and then force install specified drivers
I used Flashtool with admin rights and first tried to flash a whole .ftf but did not succeed
The only .ftf that flashed was the E10_nAa-08_2.6.29.6-nAa-08.ftf
but that only includes a kernel and loader (but which helped me to be able to enter recovery
This is where i copied the Gingerdx.zip file on my SD card and tried to install
Did not work thou,baseband issue like before
So I took a chance,went back to Flashtool and tried to flash another .ftf file
2 of them failed due to the USB debugging issue. I un-installed the USB driver from computer manager,set Flashtool to only install baseband files and then hooked my phone up in flashmode plugged it in and wola,the driver like before installed (correct one for flash and not mass storage)
Thus from here did the whole .ftf flash and then in recovery mode installed the GingerDx.zip which worked now due to the baseband being correct
Thank you coffee,screw you Windows 7 (PS : also being 64bit)
And thank you for one awesome O/S stelios97
Sir I have encountered problem like yours, but with SE WT19i Live,
Please Elaborate this one..
