I successfully flashed my X10 with 2.1 and had no issues. I believe last week I got the multitouch update from SE. No problems. Today however, I had a major problem. I was testing a program called Blacklist by calling my phone from another phone to see if it works. When I went to slide the slide over to send the call to voicemail, the phone buzzed for about two seconds and shut off. When I tried to turn the phone back on it buzzed like it should and that was it, nothing. I updated the phone with the PC Companion, the Update service, and it updated and reinstalled the software according to the program but still wouldn't turn on. I tried to reflash the phone using the X10 Flash tool from this site; it flashed successfully but still nothing. I even left the battery out of the phone while I was at work; still nothing happened. So with all this, any ideas???
Does anybody recognize this and have any suggestions?
I would contact the dev who created Blacklist.
I don't think it was Blacklist that caused it. Even when I reflashed the OS it still had the same problem. My friend mentioned about flashing the baseband. But I'm trying to see what this forum has to say.
If it was the OS, then SEUS or PC Companion "repair software" should work. It basically wipes your phone and does a fresh install, which would fix any errors you created.
Also, try this... Remove the battery and leave the back off the phone. Then plug the phone into the charger/wall with the battery out. Wait for a minute or longer, and then insert the battery while it is still plugged in. Wait a minute, and then try and turn the phone on. If it doesn't work, try altering the steps a bit like starting with the phone plugged in, or plugging it into usb port on your PC rather than the wall. I haven't had to do this myself, but I read somewhere that this works when the x10 dies.
I hope this helps. Let us know how it turns out.
I just tried this and still nothing. I am going to try to downgrade to 1.6 and see what happens.
I downgraded to 1.6 and still nothing.
Forgive me if these questions appear naive or insulting....
Sometimes (actually most times) it is something simple, so let's back up. Since it vibrates when pressing power on button, it would appear the phone's power circuit is functional. How much charge did you have left in the battery when this happened? What happens with the LED notification light when you plug it in to charge? Basically, are you sure the battery isn't dead or worse bad? A red/pink LED notification would be a sign the battery is charging/working.
**If it is not charging check to see if the USB cable or port damaged? I think my usb cable quit working after my first flash. I thought it was my phone until I read about usb cables suddenly not working after flashing... weird? Now I use an HTC cord.
use x10 flash unbricker it solved all my problems when my phone would work.
Hey i had this problem (but i dont have the MT update yet ) but it was my memory card stopping the X10i to not turn on :s try a new memory card XD
@agentJBM
I thought about the same thing last night, so I plugged the phone into the charger for the night. The battery feels warm like it's been charging. When I plug the charger in the green light comes on for a bit then turns off, which is normal. However, still the same issue.
@soldier33 Do you have a link???
@Si-The-Spike I thought about this before. I pulled the memory card and the sim card out and tried to see what would happen, nothing.
I at least know this much: the phone is able to be put into flash mode, and the phone is able to accept a charge. I just can't figure out why it can't boot.
I cant seem to find a working lnik anymore. So ill upload the one I have saved. Hoepfully it works.
Much appreciated
sorry it taking so long got very slow upload speed just 20kb. and the file size is 130mb

Thanks. I'll try it out tonight.
Unfortunately it did not work. I'm completely lost on what happened.
Try completely uninstalling SEUS, PC Companion, and Flash Tool & firmware from your PC. Do a fresh install of SEUS and then try to update/repair software. I read it may take 4 or so attempts, especially if you are having battery trouble.
I've never done it but there is a way to open in safe mode as well by pressing menu button while turning phone on. Try searching that as well.
Hi there.
Got my X10 bricked.
How that happened:
Yesterday put my phone on vibrate/silent mode, shile was at cinema. Battery was about 15%. Later on I ffound that phone is off, thought it happened because of low battery. When I got home I've putted it on charge. Red light flashed few times. After about 2 hours I looked at it and no light was there. Phone didn't turn on. Took battery from another X10 (fully charged) and nothing happened. Tried to connect it to PC to reflash it, but no green LED appeared and PC told me, that unrecognized device found. After few PC restards even this disappeared. Just silence. None of buttons pressing configurations helped.
Tried with no SIM and SD cards. No change.
I have latest ROM on it and xRecovery.
Any ideas of what I could do?
hey dude one thing for ya.. you can never brick your x10 its not those old phones it a computer based/linux phone.. If you go through the forums you can find the info of how to unbrick x10 .. try Pc companion or go to sony website and try SEUS( Sony Ericsson Update service) it'll fix your phone up.ill do my best to post a link for ya if i can find it soon
here u go dude. read through this link and you'll fix your phone..

Thanks. But thing is that phone doesn't go in flash mode. No green LED is on. On first try I got "unrecognized device" from XP, now it's just silent on phone connection.
i think its more in hardware related because as far as i know eh you cant brick your phone. and battery drainage is far related to bricking..so i guess its a hardware problem..maybe you sat on it or something..because bricking is moreon software related.
try this
*remove the battery
*plugin charger to your x10
*hold the power button while inserting your battery.
just give it a shot..
It was in my wifes bag while that happened, but she has her phone just beside mine, so not shure it was because of some pressing on it or whatever.
Tried what you told me - no result. Tried pressing/holding power bttn before, while and after battery insertion.
Again, there was red LED at first, when I've plugged in charger yesterday, but later on it disappeared. I've charged my battery on another phone. Now it nearly full.
Try all solutions before u send ur phone for repair. I had to send my in to ATT and they said it was probably a hardware issue. So i hate to say that but i had the same thing. Sorry to tell u that my friend.that red light is a killer.

got a similar problem.
my x10 will only vibrate and the led blinks green, but the phone won't start.
tries SEUS, pc companion, pc suite, flash tool. nothing helped.
any suggestions?
Well, mine won't even vibrate.
Voelker45, so you got replacement or they repaired your phone? Could you tell me wich part it was?
I bought my phone on ebay, so no way to send it back. And it was in August 2011, so anyway, I have to work that thing myself.

Install SEUS and run it. Select x10 and it will install drivers on your phone. Then plug in your phone and try to repair.
As I wrote before, x10 does not enters flash mode, so no way to reflash.
And looks like it's really hardware issue. Something with powering.
Ok, thanks everyone. Since I bought it on ebay and it would be unreal to send it back to seller and we don't have SE service centers here, I'll fight for my phone till the end)))
Maybe something from this thread will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944322

Thanks, G-FACE.
Strange thing happened:
Connected x10 to charger without battery. No LED turned on. Left it for a few mins, pluged in battery. No result. Took usb plug out and ! phone turned on. As it was without SIM cars, I turn it off, took battery out, putted SIM in, battery in and... again, it's not turning on. Tried repeating that way - nothing. Must be some hardware connection problem near battery. Will disassemble phone tomorrow.

Me again)
Strange things keep happen.
Here is the story:
Finally, got some star shaped screws yesterday and took apart my phone (thnx to McKebapp).
Non of IC were with readable names) So later on, after few hours of serching I found Xperia X10 scheme files (!!!). So the most probable faulty part would be Qualcomm PM7540 - power distribution IC.
Anyway, it was to hard for me to understand all that stuff in scheme, so I gave up(.
Assembled my phone back again. And just to... em.... have it done, lets say, I took out battery, pluged X10 in charger, pluged battery in. But it doesn't turned on again. So I took USB plug out abd - tadaaa - screen lightened.
Waited till phone loaded, turned it off again, pluged SIM and SD cards in, turned it on again - and it did! It turned on!
So, night passed and it still works.
Btw, yesterday I've rebooted it few times and it still was ok.
I don't know what was the problem, it could be bad contact, but there is no wires between battery and power distributing IC.
Anyway, X10 is back again)
I have a problem with turning my phone on.
The story begins last night were my phone charge was going to finish, in the morning i saw my phone is turned off and the i'll try to turn it on but it doesn't turn on. instead of that the picture of usb connection shows up

I use wall plug and phone repeatedly turn off and turn on, after every turn on shows the image of usb connection...this operation happens every 4 - 5 minutes please help me

Is yr screen showing the connect to pc picture?
So ive been using JMT since the v8 and ive never had a problem before. One night i decided to get the X1 and everything seemed to well..the next day i was chargin my phone and i noticed that the phone was off, the chargitng icon was not showing.
I turned to phone on and it would go halfway the splash screen and then it would go black.. then it would start vibrating the way it vibrates when u turn the phone on and it just does that. I tried doing a battery pull but everything that i put in the battery the phone turns on automaticly.
Ive tried going to recovery but it just wont go in. PC doesnt detect the phone and it looks like theres a 5 second gap before the phone does the same hthing over and over.
I dont know what to do because the phone doesnt let me do anything.No recovery,no nothing.
could somebody help me please?
what can i do!? any other ways to totally erase the whole phone! even if i have to fry the motherboard so i could get a replacement lol! but i dont want to do that tho that would be my last solution
it looks like you may need a jtag to fix the phone, it seems that the X1 may have bricked your phone.
Hi, my Moto z ,with lcd broken, after i replace the lcd it's broken again. and i have a lot of problem after the last replacement, infact the phone, not turn on, so i thougth it was the battery, but after change whit a new, the phone still not to turn on.
So i think, Maybe it should be recharge the battery, so i let him on charge for 4 Hours.( whit the original charger) but him still not turn on. And then i choose to let lose.
A few day a go, i decide to plug the phone to my pc (The phone is whitout battery, because the new one i selled it), and magically it turn on, but still a problem, a big problem, the phone not showing on pc, the Pc not recognize the phone, even go to device management (on windws 10) it not show.
I try a lot of things, but still not to recognize the phone to pc. So anyone can help me? my point is to have access to my memory.
P.S: the phone is still conected to wifi, so maybe can i "Hack" the phone? to have access to my memory?
P.P.S: Sorry for my bad english
