after up rom to 2.1 ... fail in progress, sony x10 screen is dark and can't start again. now can i do next?
sorry for my bad english ...
Can u explaib more. If thats what i think it is i did use se pc companion to repair it and it worked again.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
reflash it with X10flasher?
Try to Back sw1.6,,,
take the battery out for 10 minutes.. then when you put it back in.. don't switch it on..
fire up SEUS and plug the phone in in flash mode (holding the back button).
If SEUS doesn't detect the phone then your pretty much screwed I'm afraid.
If it does then carry out a "Repair".
Good luck.
Download Flashtool 0.2.6 from android development thread get the specific firmware for your phone and will be ok in less than 10 mins. Good luck

Hi guys!
I think I killed my phone. I upgraded to the GingerDx - V13 ROM, the first day it was working fine. Then the next day the screen is getting messed up until it won't start anymore. I tried using PC companion to hopefully factory reset it but (which it manages to finish the restoration) but now it is really not booting. It just lights up and then turns off. No SE logo or anything. Now I'm stuck as I don't know what to do next.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

PC companion is not good.. try flash with SEUS..!! Google it..u may find a download..
In order to restore a bricked mini pro:
-Launch SEUS (NOT PC Companion)
-When asked to plug the phone, press Home+Back (and keep them pressed) and then plug the phone on usb.
-Release Home and only keep the "back" button pressed.
If you followed the sequence properly, you will see the green led on and flashing process will start. If not, try it again.

I forgot to say that my LED is not working anymore (dunno why) I am trying to find SEUS installer. It seemed like you can't download it through SE's website.
EDIT:
WTF?! I dunno there's another XPERIA Mini Pro which is NOT X10 Mini Pro. I flashed my X10 Mini Pro with the Xperia Mini Pro ROM Maybe that's why it's not booting anymore.
I tried reflashing it with the correct X10 Mini Pro (via PC Companion) ROM but still no effect. Maybe I messed up the phone big time? I will try SEUS if I can find one. I hope it works.

Looks like a hard brick in my opinion if you flashed the wrong phone's firmware I suggest you send the phone back to SE for repair.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the link. I tried using it, still not working. I have a feeling that it really is hard bricked now. My next try will be using flashtool this time.
Edit:
Tried FlashTool, still dead. My phone needs an overhaul Too bad it's not under warranty anymore
try to unplug your batterie, wait ... plug the batterie, start into recovery ( clockmod ) and reflash with a new rom .
If your bootloader is lock, you cant brick your phone
How to rescue our bricked phone for x8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071
PS: Are you sure you have the good firmware ?
In the post of doixant ( x8 ), you can see : Latest kernel and latest baseband xxx015
Another exemple : MiniCM7 for X10 mini ( not pro ) : Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware / Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 due to kernel dependencies. This is automatically tested during the installation.
I guess, it's same for all custom rom
Sorry for my bad English

Do you have already use Flashtool ?
If your are under Vista or Win 7, you must disable the UAC ( User Account Control ) for flashtool works. Search in google, I m french and i've found lots of pages, but in french.
Sorry if is useless, and for my bad English

I'm sorry, but I really think your phone IS a hard brick now . I remember reading about a user that flashed a Galaxy S firmware onto his Galaxy S2, in the end he had to send his phone to the repair shop.
The same is probably true of your phone. I think you had better send it to the repair shop .

Hey, 'm facing the same issue
Recently i upgraded my Xperia to "ThGo2 v16.0" from custom rom..
After some time the rom got unstable and restarted the phone, however it wouldn't boot up. Now i have completely black screen, all the time, with few red blinks
(I have tried all the solutions here:
1. SEUS : Says ur phone is already update and show Xperia arc in backgroud. No update available
2. PC companion: Tried all the tricks to start w/o connecting n all still the phone is not detected.
3. Flashtool, tried flashing it with 0.6.8 and 0.2.9.1
4. I have also used other tools like superclick, root / unroot and S1 tool (no of them worked)
Now, nothing is working with few red blinks and gree light..
Please help, my phone is converted into a black paper weight now....

FIX!
I had the same issue when I was experimenting with ROMs and Recoverys, but not to worry, Sony PC Companion 2.1 does the trick!
Download PC Companion 2.1 from the Sony Mobile website
1. When you download and open it, click start under Support Zone
2. Click start under Phone Software Update
3. When the window saying that a phone could not be found appears, click repair phone
4. A windows like this will appear, click continue to proceed with the repair of the firmware
NOTE: All data that is placed on the phone memory will be wiped but any data saved on the memory card will be spared
5. After clicking continue, a window like so will appear. Tick the box and click next to continue with repair!
6. Sony PC Companion 2.1 will now prepare the computer for the firmware update
7. Now choose your phone model, in this case it should be the Xperia X10 (X10). Select the phone and click Next!
8. Follow the prompts to repair your phone!
GOOD LUCK!!
Always fails for me.
All process end in fail
There must be a file I need to rename or something....
tried everything now...
I have tried everything by now, here i have attached a attachment of error i get while repairing my phone through SEUS..
only option is box flash, but i think its kind of risky...
Fail fail fail..... i'm getting hopeless wif my X10
Hey,
I did some re-search and got to know that somehow my X10 flashes as So-01C in some systems, i.e. xperia arc, even while updating ..........
Anyone here, knows other ways to flash through box other than technician, coz these technicians are real idiot they can crap your phone in 10 seconds, so its better to crap it yourself...
"alternative to box flash, please ???"
Try this
Had the same problem once, when my phone would not start at all, all I had to do was connect it to the PC Companion (2.0), at first it wouldn't repair but after a certain amount of tries it did the trick,
First: Make sure all your drivers are installed, if they were installed there should be no problem.
If they were not, the computer cannot identify your phone, try installing some other x10's drivers (cause your's is bricked I assume) that might do the trick aswell.
Open PC Companion > Support Zone > Phone Software Update (Start) > Follow Instructions > Repair
It might take several tries to get it right
If this doesn't work try the latest flashtool, it should do the trick !!
There must be something you are not doing right, else SEUS/Flashtool should have worked like a charm.
see i get this reply, when updating x10..
I have tried this like thousands of times, installing roms and then removing them and repairing the phone, but this time it has gone over my head........
Hello, I have a sonyericsson xperia X10 suddenly stopped turning, i tried to repair it with the FlashTool, the flash process its ok , but at the end of the process and turn it , vibrates only once and not on the lcd (black), and when i reconnect to the PC, the phone is in flash mode again., pls which files or Fw additional need install first for repair?? thks for your time pd i use the fw x10i generic stock and pc companion not repair it display a error in upload the sw to phone.
Please use search tab all is there.Take your time and read.
thks for your time, itried all methods mentioneh in the posts but nothing work, for this reason i need help thks...
I installed a Rom that went wrong and had to use flashmode with sony's update program, not sure how it's called these days. I if you install that and plug it into the pc holding down the Back button, it recognizes it and will all you what you want to do. Select restore (or something similar). It'll restore it back to 2.3.3. After that you can install xRecovery again with flash tool.
Be aware that this worked for my semi bricked X10i, no guarantee it'll work for you ofcourse.......good luck

You only get that message when you plug in the phone too early

And run stuff as administrator if you got w7.

Hi,
Here is my problem.
I have Xperia x10 mini/ yesterday , but mistake, I installed the firmware of the X10 mini PRO !!!
Now, once I understood the mistake, I want to flash with x10 mini firmware.
In order to flash I need to have FLASHTOOLS and need to press the BACK button - the problem is that since the phone is using now the wrong firmware, the BACK button (needed for the flushing ) doesn’t do anything and thus, I cannot install the correct firmware. I tried pushing all other buttons without any luck.
Any idea how I can overcome this problem ? I can’t use my phone now.

i think if back button dos not do any thing it mean's you cant connect your device into flashmode.
so i guess it's briked and you need (jtag) or (gtag) doing whit riff box.

You can see the logo of Sony Ericson?
Set phone to stock with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service)
If so you can try to install PCCOMPANION to repair.

:silly:WTF back button.
Yea you're right.
What its the custom firmware installed, you can try to push convination of buttons for example:
backbutton and Power On at same time.
Powe On and another key.
Three buttons at same time, and put the battery, and connect the cable.
When i press three button at same time in my miniPro this represent another button.
Try this.
Good Luck.
