I successfully flashed to BB.67 and Rdanar's Overider F/W and it was working like a dream
Then tried to install latest xRecovery
Now stuck in SE boot screen
Tried flashing other F/W's - still stuck
Tried SEUS - says I have latest F/W and only option is 'Exit'; no 'Repair' option at all - still stuck
Tried PC Companion 'repair' function; that failed too with this message 'there is no software available for your phone yet.' - still stuck
What do I do now???!!!! Help!!!
Fixed it. Made a custom flash using a generic stock ROM and latest flash tool and it's worked. Thank **** for that!!

Try FlashTool, flash a stock firmware and start over.
Don't try to install xRec version 1.0 again,
until the developer of the ROM you are using
gives specific instructions! Good luck!
Remember you do not install busybox/xRecovery after you have flashed a custom rom. It would really screw you over.

My phone is stuck at SE logo.. Xrecovery is also not working.. SEUS also not working. Can rom be flashed vai flash tools . Actually i installed wrong kernel on my rom n the phone became unresponsive.. Please can anyone help. Cant get my phone working.
same here... please can some one help us in installing kernal or roms through flash tools?
if it's stuck at se logo then Seus should work...
flash stock firmware with flashtools and start all over.
Yes, you can
Hi.
I went through something similar, if not the same.
My rom got corrupted with the new kernel, I lost xrecovery and SEUS asks for the SD card to be mounted, which cannot be because ROM did not see it after kernel update.
before reading further, you need to have your phone rooted, you can do it via xrecovery, easily found in this forum.
what did I do to solve it?
***EDITED****
I installed a generic ROM via flashtool, you do not have to boot the phone to do it, the bad thing is that everything will be wiped from phone (not from SD though)
you can find generic X10 stock roms in this forum.
After that, you will be good to go.
hope this helps.
Today i bought Sony Ericson Xperia Mini ST15i, i upgraded the default firmware to the latest v.62 then i used flashboot to unlock the bootloader which appeared to work according to flashboot in command prompt. I then booted into the CWM-based Recovery 5.0.2.6 and i did "wipe data/factory reset" then installed cynogenmod latest stable version then restarted and it just hangs on the cynagenmod logo, sometime it shows the unlock screen for a few seconds then shows cynagenmod logo. I can get into CWM Recovery, i've tried re-flashing my official backed up image that i made with CWM-based recovery and i've tried flashing cynagenmod. I've also tried formatting cache, data and system and then flashing cynagenmod or the backup image but still doesn't work.
The links on this site for the v.58 firmware are dead.
I need to bring my phone back to life and prefereably put the latest cynagenmod on it. The phone was factory unlocked to all networks btw, i'd like to keep that.
I have "flasher" which is able to communicate with the phone but i've got no original images to try and re-flash my phone with.
PLEASE HELP!

Hello guys,
as a last resort I turn to you for help. Have been searching for the answer for the last 2 days. I am running CWM-based Recovery v.6.0.1.1 and have a rooted x10 together with an unlocked bootloader. I flashed the recovery without any problems and installed miui v4 but an older file which was very unstable (without any problems). Then I decided to install the newer version so i downloaded it, placed it on my sdcard and in the same recovery flashed rom. Unfortunately I had my usb cable plugged in all the time (during installation). Installation got stuck in the middle and nothing could be done so i removed the battery and started the phone again (this time without the usb cable). When I tried to reinstall that rom again it gave me status 7 error installation aborted, assert failed:getprop,error in sdcard and things like that. So I tried the ROM which had already worked on my phone but received exactly the same message. What is more usb storage mounting in the recovery doesnt work anymore (but it already worked!). Now the problem is that I don't have any system installed and when i try to flash the recovery again, flashtool does not recognize my phone (so does windows) and so it leads me nowhere. I think this is definitely problem with the recovery, after the failed attempt to install rom when i had to remove the battery it does not behave normally. Is there any way that I can maybe install another recovery from .zip - i do not even know whether it will install or just sends me another error. Any help would be greatly appreciated

When I want to flash .tft file and i go to flash mode it does not recognize my phone in windows even though I have installed all the necessary drivers. It starts to flash but then says flashing aborted (this did not happen before, i could flash without any problems). Another problem is that i do not have any rom installed right now so i cannot even switch debugging on and if i remember right, i left debugging off in my previous rom.
Use Sony Update Service. Download from Sony site and install on PC. Follow the instruction, and this will reflash Stock Rom and Kernel (GB 2.3.3). Then, with latest Flashtool, first Root phone again, then flash whatever you want (custom kernels, roms..). You don't need to unlock bootloader again. It remains unlocked.

Omg - I found solution to my problem - I just changed usb port and it started to flash even using flashtool. Still, many thanks since it helped me find solution
Hello experts , I did a first attempt at installing a custom ROM (Ferra Jelly Bean v 36 for Xperia X10i) and everything went smooth, (my device was rooted and bootloader unlocked and CWM v5 installed) but for the first boot, only SONY ERICSSON appears and just stays that way with the SONY ERICSSON name.
Is it all dead or do I have some hope of reviving it? if yes then can you please help me?

Use SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to re-flash your original Sony Ericsson ROM.
Download the FeraLab ROM GB v36 zip file to your phone.
Flash FeraLab Kernel v18.4 using Flashtool
Restart your phone.
Enter CWM recovery at the blue light/pink light and install FeraLab GB v36 ROM.
Reboot.
If it doesn't boot up completely and hangs during first start-up , re-flash Feralab Kernel v18.4 and then reboot again.
I'm having the same problem, X10i is stuck on the SE boot screen. This happened directly after I flashed the Feralab v36 rom, however, I couldn't flash the latest kernel beforehand, because flash tool failed to do it. I have xRecovery installed, but I cannot access it. Not only that but it does not seem to want to go into flash mode, have tried using flash tool to flash stock rom, I have tried using SEUS, and PC Companion. Nothing has worked so far.

As @doodownunda has mentioned, if you have access to Flashtool (Not sure why you don't have access to SEUS/PCC then) you can flash Tof37 X10S v9 ROM as the whole thing including kernel is a Flashtool flashable image. It's an all in one Kernel/ROM.
xRecovery is old school and comes with older Kernels, but CWM recovery is the main now.
Volume up button to access CWM recovery at the first flashing light on booting if needed at a later stage.
Seem you didn't flash the right kernel..

You need to reflash 2.3.3 generic firmwares a:laugh:nd try install the rom again..:laugh:
I own a star n3+ and I was trying to install the latest official rom from Needrom. I've done this a couple of times both using the flashtool and later using CWM. This time I tried installing from sdcard, so I deleted my data, but after cwm says "installing update" it directly says "installation aborted". Then I tried using the flashtool, but I gave me pmt changed error. Then I thought maybe the rom is not good, so I tried the 4.4 update. Both flashtool en CWM gave me the same error they did before. I tried re-installing the driver it didn't help.
I tried getting back to my original rom, but cwm still keeps giving the same error. I am at a point where I don't know what to do. Now, somehow the drivers won't reinstall again so using flashtool is not possible, until I can fix that. What can I do ??
