My X10a is having a problem. It won't turn on and the red led just flashes. I tried buying a new battery off of ebay but that didn't work.
What else can I try to make it work?
Can you get into the flash mode?

How do I do that?
When you use SEUS or flashtool, you need to turn the power on with the back button holding down. If the LED on upper right remains green, it means the phone got into the flash mode.
My point is that if you can get into flash mode, you can at least flash a SE stock firmware and see if your inability to power up is firware related or not.
I had the same problem. i charged over night, in the morning, the green light went on but I messed up again. so what I did is plugged it into a car charger and drove on the freeway for a while. once I got it up to 180 Km/h and Bing, the green light went on. I let it charge for a while, then went home and used SEUS to repair it, and when I did that, I charged it over night and Walla, it works like a charm. i read everywhere, and someone else has a way to find a charger with a higher voltage, and splice the wires to your charger, but I remember my phone only charging in my car when I pull out, so I figured I could get a high enough voltage, and I did. you could also try just revving your engine.

Okay so I tried to get into flash mode, but didn't have any luck. When I plug in the phone into my computer the phone has the red led blinking.

I have the same problem, nothing works, even if I charge it all the night. When I try to turn it on it the red led just blink 3 times and I can't put it on flash mode.
Any idea?
Not sure if you understood getting into flash mode correctly.
1) First you turn the phone off completely.
2) Load up flashtool and your desired stock rom. Be sure to have wipe data checked off.
3) When the flashtool tells you to plug the device in you hold the back button down and attach the usb cable. The light should remain green during the flashing process.

That's exactly what I did. Is there anything else I can do?
could it be because I don't have the OEM cable?

Another method, you can just hard reset.
When you open the back plate, There's should be a small button next to the camera. You'll need something small to press the button, around 10sec. That should do the hard reset.

im not sure about mini course i own a mini pro...
since mini doesn't have battery, so it will automatically turn off even after your turn it of.
so, okay. im not sure, but open the back plate of your mini, look near the camera, there's should be a small white button, i think its for hard reset.
try pressing it and hold for 5-10seconds. see if it works for you..

I've got tools to take out the x10 mini battery, it isnt difficult for me.
I've tried the guide of seus program (turn off for minutes, plug the usb cable to pc, hold the back button, plug usb cable to the phone) but there is no thing happened affter I hold the back button and plug usb cable to the phone, no green led indicate thats flash mode. im sure that the battery is full because i charge it for hours with my wall charger. and the battery has out for minutes before i tried to flash mode.

2- Take out the x10 mini battery so the phone is surely turn off for minutes
3- Plug the battery in.
4- Plug the cable (come with the phone - sonyericson cable)
5- Hold the back button on my phone
6- Plug the cable to my phone while the back button still pressed
7- Affter five minutes. No thing happened, the green led not appear, the phone only has red blink.
all I can do is charge the phone and see that it automatic turn on and stuck at sonyericson logo.

2- Take out the x10 mini battery so the phone is surely turn off for minutes
(do not plug in the battery yet)
4- Plug the cable to pc
(you need to do step 5 & 6 as fast as you can so your phone wont switch on)
5- insert the battery,
6- press and hold back button, plugin usb. that should work.
May be the battery isnt enought to begin flash mode because when I hold power button there is nothing happend, im not sure that battery could be charge when I conect to charger. when I conect to charge, the red light blink, affter about five minutes the phone turn it self on and stuck at sonyericson logo. So there is no red blink more, only the logo. So in this case I think that affter charge 5 minutes the phone turn on and no charge any more, and 5 minutes charging is not enough for flash mode. But I have no way for charging my phone.

have you try pressing the hard reset button at the back of the phone?
it should be around next to the camera, white button and very small. need to plress it with pin anything smaller.
If I'm not mistaken, mini does not have hard reset button. Try to find some pictures of disassembled mini and you'll find out that its not a button at all.
The only way to perform hard reset on mini is to hold down both power and Home keys.

I tried switching it on but it showed only the kernel logo 'X10 never dies' and then again black screen after flashing blue led 3 times. I waited for 5 minutes. again it got extremely hot. I pulled out the battery and kept it aside for 5 minutes to cool down. after that i tried several times to switch it on but every time i got the same problem and i had to remove the battery to cool it down. at night, i kept the battery out from the phone only. I thought it would work in the morning. But yesterday morning I couldn't even switch it on. I connected it to the charger(an original SE charger with original USB cable). After connecting to the charger also, it heated up instantly but there was no display on the screen and it wasn't charging. I have been trying to charge it since yesterday(using charger and connecting with pc also) but it gets EXTREMELY HOT every time without charging or switching on. Please help me!

the phone is neither switching on nor charging.....I cannot connect it to computer also.....I cant put it in flash mode for connecting to flashtool....nothing is happening except it starts heating gradually after connecting to charger.....((
Tips to connect your phone in flashmode if there is no green light when you are trying to connect it to flashtool:
1. Press back button while plugging it into your computer USB port.
2. Do not release back button and press power button once while you are pressing back button.
3. Green LED light should appear.
4. Release back button when your phone is detected in flashtool.

I charged the battery fully using an external battery charger. When i connect it to flashtool, the green led glows but as soon as i select the file to flash, the led comes off and it starts heating again. I tried using Sony Update Service also to repair it, but as I click on next after connecting it, the same happens, green led goes off and it starts heating up.
Please SOMEBODY help me!!!!
I downloaded the Stock firmware from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749426
I downloaded the India Generic Kit 1237-0692. I tried flashing it through flashtool but between 14-15%, the flash mode just goes off and the phone gets disconnected. Now, the condition is worse than before. Earlier, I was able to switch the phone on and see the 'Xperia Never Dies' screen from scritch's kernel. But now, nothing is there. Everytime I try to flash generic firmware either thru flashtool or SEUS, the green led goes off and it gets disconnected.

You should select the FTF file first then you can connect your phone when the flashtool ask you to connect your phone...
your steps are wrong... the same thing goes to me too when i connect the phone before i select my desired firmware file...
please attach your flashtool log
Here are some suggestions my friends note had a similar problem:
1.Try using a new battery maybe the battery fails as it spoilt and can't handle strain(my friend had this problem)
2.Since your phone won't do anything u can try go to a store and say I don't know what happened and ask for help
3.Did you try entering recovery and flashing a Rom or nandroid backup. Your question is not very clear.
Please let us all know what u did to solve the issue.

When im using Seus, it fails flashing in about 90% of the process... when booting my phone, just a quick vibrate with green flashes once. Do u have skype account? Hope u have time and can help me. Most of the links in xda our outdated. And i know my phone is outdated too. Thanks and more power
My Xperia X10 (flashed with Paranoid Android 2.99, rooted, et cetera) recently had its power depleted, and when I try to boot it, I get the red LED blinking.
However, whenever I try to plug it in to charge it, it comes up in flash mode (green LED blinking, flashtool says it is in flash mode), and then will remain there for a minute, and then just turn off again, only to come back into flash mode.
When the phone is on, it does not have any problems. It charges just fine.

I am happy that my USB port is okay, but now how am I supposed to charge my battery? My phone is dead, and it will not charge in flash mode.
This morning, my Z ultra died on me. It wont start, no vibration, no use pressing vol + power buttons and the red switch. I was neither rooted or bootloader unlocked.
When I tried to connect it to my laptop (Windows 7), its shows as a USB device. The red LED flashes up, the computer finds it and then lets go of it again. Again in a few minutes, the red LED goes up , the computer makes the connection sound and then the red LED goes off again. This cycle goes on and on.
I cannot use SEUS, Flash, Fastboot or do anything. I have checked various forums and apparently I have not hard bricked the phone as the LED still works and the computer recognizes the problem. But no one has given any concrete solution.
When I connect it to the charger which came with the phone, the red LED pops up and then goes off again. I dont know if its charging. HOWEVER, I have used another Chinese Travel Charger, and then the red LED stays solid as if its charging. I dont know what it means.
Please help. I spent a lot behind this phone. I dont want to be left with a brick
It's not an issue if it's completely stock is it? You have your warranty, but i understand that i sucks to have it shipped in for repairs for god knows how long. I had a similar issue some time ago, but i'm bootloader unlocked and what not, so that was pretty easy to fix. You're completely stock though, so it's a little harder to do anything.
What happens if you hold VOL UP when you connect it to your computer? Does a blue LED light up? If yes, does it stay on, or does it disappear? What happens if you hold VOL DOWN when you connect it to your computer? Do you get a blinking LED and then nothing? That's normal, and it's going into Flashmode. If you can get it to stay in Flashmode you'll be able to re-flash a ROM in Flashtool. But be 100% sure to have enough battery, or else you'll be in danger of hard bricking it.
So..
- Plug the wall charger in and charge it for a couple of hours (2-3 hours)
- Try to kick it into Fastboot (VOL UP when you connect it to your computer). Look for blue LED.
- Try to kick it into Flashmode (VOL DOWN when you connect it yo your computer). No LED.
Hi LordManhattan. I dont have any warranty as I brought it from a local reseller .
Whether I press Vol UP or vom DOWN when I connect to the laptop, a red LED pops up, there is a connection sound and after that the red LED goes off and and there is a disconnection sound.
If I leave the phone connected with the computer, the phone gets connected after 2/3 minutes, there is a connection sound and then there is a disconnection sound again . Any clue what I can do :crying::crying:

just a small note or two:
Flashmode the LED should go orange, then blue then off within about 1second then it is in Flashmode
To get into either of these modes the phone has to be powered fully OFF, press the red reset button before charging to make sure, then again just before the above steps.
It sort of sounds like a corrupted loader

Have a good read of this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
It would suggest that the battery is flat. Let it charge in the wall plug for a few hours and see what happens
I have let the phone to charge overnight with the charger that came with the phone. As I said before, with that charger, the red LED would turn on and then go off again. I will hopefully try the Chinese travel charger tonight with which the red LED remains solid.
The funny thing is , the phone had about 80% charge when it died. This is so weird :'(

It's a battery issue most probably. I guess it doesn't show anything. Is your battery removable?
I still have not opened my phone. I am looking at all the other options first. If everything else fails, I guess I will have to open my phone

Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
+1 contact your local sony, i had a similar problem, no fastboot/flashmode. locked bl/not rooted and my led only flashed red and occasionally solid red then nothing. plugging it into computer continuously played the disconnecting sound.
most likely hardbricked.
i also purchased my xzu from a local BST but as long as you have your imei, contact sony and theyll tell you if you have warranty. they required me to send in proof of purchase as well but like most say "play stupid" ( i said i received it as a gift and they said it was fine)
i got a brand new XZU after a week and a half sending it in.

- Plug the wall charger in and charge it for a couple of hours (2-3 hours)
- Try to kick it into Fastboot (VOL UP when you connect it to your computer). Look for blue LED.
- Try to kick it into Flashmode (VOL DOWN when you connect it yo your computer). No LED.

Thank you! One or two years ago my Z Ultra's screen cracked and I got a new phone. Decided to use it again, purchased a new screen and replaced it myself today. When I tried to move to AOSP (had root, bootloader unlocked, backup of TA partition), the phone bricked. No SONY logo, nothing. Did what you said above, Xperia Companion recognized the phone in flashmode and is now downloading the newest stock rom. I was so afraid of a hard brick, that living with latest stock without root doesn't seen so bad now hahaha
Hey Friends, I have exactly the same issue. The red led just flashes up for a couple of seconds and this cycle continues. My battery was a bit swollen up and the back glass cover opened up a bit. Still battery was working fine. Two days ago I tried nougat aosp on it and after leaving it idle for 2 hours, it was bricked. I can enter into flashmode and flashed stock LP as well as KK but it does not boots up. Is it definitely battery's problem? If yes, where can I buy original or near original battery for it?

The battery is dangerous and should be removed. Be careful because the battery can burst into flames if the bloated cell get punctured.
Use tools with caution and take your time.
Lipo cells expands as a first safety trigger. Instead of going strait to venting or venting and burst into flames.
Its a safety feature if they are charged with too high current or if the cell is drained below its 2,22 volts and is brought back to life with a normal charger that puts normal current on the cell. Then even 400mA in this scenario is way too much current to start charging a drained cell with.
But the battery should not be the issue that your phone is not booting. How did you flash stock rom? With Flashtool?
