Let your phone charge.

i think x10 generaly have a problem with charging, ..i changed ear speaker on a friends x10 once and after i closed it it doesnt want to charge anymore. i had to open it again and replugged everything again and it worked finally. strange
hope i can say thanks 2 you tomorrow

Actually, after charing try also reflashing firmware just in case. I hope it helps you, succes. Battery stats may be corrupted if I guess it right.

ok, i charged it for about 18 hours now and flashed the phone again but still the same, ...i turn the phone on the green light blinks up and the screen starts lighting for about 30 seconds, ..after that the phone restarts
i flashed with bin4arys x10 flasher, the generic rom
is this ok if the phone is orange austria branded? ...because seus or pc companion does not work anymore for update. donno why, x10 flasher just works fine, says everything is ok

I think you should really try SEUS. It's the best way to repair your phone if Flashtool doesn't work. It's also the easiest way. It SHOULD work, if it doesn't you're doing something really wrong.

This is what you are going to do:
You have to recharge the battery outside the phone, in that state the phone doesn't allow you to charge.
Then using flashtool you need to install branded or generic 1.6 donut you can grab one from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872298
Im with Orange dominicana i used the firmware from
france found in the post.
Othewise SEUS will always prompt you that you have the latest software installed (Assuming that you are using the 2.1 Eclair right now).
After you have installed the 1.6 regardless if it worked or not, connect it to SEUS try to update and just wait (if SEUS doesn't want to update as you mentioned before try to uninstall it and downlad the latest version)
If that doesn't work let me know i have tried other methods that worked for me.
You can see my post i was having the same issue.
It's called Xperia X10i restarting loop.

Totally bricked X10

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)

[Q] Help! Dead Phone

Yesterday I was writing an SMS when the phone went into a continuous vibrate. I removed the battery and when I replaced it the phone would not turn on. Tried chargin it over night but no use, If I try to turn it on the red LED flashes 3 times then nothing else happens.. Any advice or do I now have a useless brick? any way of perfroming a master reset using a hardware button like on the X1?
p.S. Im on CM6.1.3 Rom, had no problems for the last month with it. I would post in the Dev thread but I dont have enough posts here.

Charge your phone. If you've got xRecovery installed wipe battery stats.
I've tried the red LED process a number of times, but it doesn't work. Cant get phone on to enter xrecovery. I have an old x1 and charged the battery fully on this and then put it in the x10, but no use.
I tried to repair using SEUS, the green LED turns on when I connect the USB this way but the repair always fails, refleashing through flashtool also fails. Anymore ideas anybody? My phone is over a year old so I dont think it would be covered under warranty to get it fixed :-( :-(

x10 bricked and 3 red led

hi to all,my xperia x10 yesterday..dead!!i turn off night before and the next morning when i turn on it i see only three red led
mofo82.... seriously? This has happened to probably every x10 user in the world atleast once.... try the right sub-forum next time.
To solve your problem:
1. Take out the battery.
2. Put in the charger into the phone.
3. Put the battery back into the phone.
4. Wait for a minute and your phone should turn on with a battery image which means that the phone is charging...
dear a2ha,before to open this thread i read a lot every problem and i try your solution but not work....
Try reflash your rom with flashtool.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I think that you Rom is down .Since battery charging is rom-dependant on the x10 ,you have to reflash it with SEUS/PC Compagnon or Flashtool but fatally the problem will come up again . I am encountering the same problem right now .
IF the rom was working it will have to be able to load the charging mode off-line no need to turn the phone on.
After fully charging the phone you can repair it if that is the case, but red led as far as i know only means no battery.
White led means problems some times.

connect the charger and leave it for an hour or two...!! if it still doesn't charge in offline mode or switch on... then you might have to get your battery tested!!

Just take off your phone battery for about 2 hours to let it completely 'dead' aka enter off phone mode,after that try to insert battery back and charge your phone...if there is no LED,then your charger/USB connector/battery got something wrong with it...

[Q] My x10 mini is DEAD

Well, just a couple minutes ago, my x10 mini died. I was using it normally, without overheating, not overclocked..., just undervolted! I've got for 14 months, and since last 12 i've got the bootloader unlocked and nAa kernel with MiniCM 2.X... A couple of weeks ago I installed ArcMini rom without problems! Yesterday night I tried to turn off WiFi from the statusbar button, but the light under the icon kept half turned on (sorry for my english :S)... I didn't though it was a problem, but a couple of minutes ago, i tried to turn on an it didn't respond!! so I restarted the phone with the power + home button, like some other times, but now it didn't turned on!!
Now, the led doesn't light up, doesn't vibrate, when I plug into a computer or AC, it does the same: nothing!! What happened?? what can I do?? Warranty is avoided since i unlocked the bootloader, isn't it?? :S
Thanks!!
look the same happend to me but with no custom firware i sent it on the sony ericsson repair store and they told me that the cpu was burned.They repaired my phone because it had warranty.I think yo should try to repair it with flashtool

I think, if his cpu is bust, repairing with flashtool is not an option, i think getting a new phone might be in order
y should try to make sure that the x10mini is dead before pull out the x10mini cover and with a pinch pull out a rubber cover next to the camera you should try to disconnect that connection an then reconnect it
try to take out the battery, and wait for a while, insert it again. try to turn it on.
if it doesnt work. try to wait longer, not more than 10 min.
if it doesnt work at all, I would like to try to flash it again with the flash tool.
That would be the very basic part of the phone. if the mode can not be actived (pressing the back on phone and plug to usb) by using flash tool. then you possibly facing a hardware problem.
