x10 reboots? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey i got my phone back today three sent me a recon... turned it on all was ok for 15 minutes then kept getting random reboots 2 mins or so after it being on, so i flashed generic fw as i thought it was a bad flash n then it wouldnt cum on at all just a vibration and a green flash when i turned it on, used seus and after 12 times of trying it installed the latest fw and now it only turns on with no sim card init put a sim init and it just reboots constantly, iv left it on charge because thats about as much as i can do now im guessing....any ideas?? or is it just a dodgy handset that needs replacing agaainm, cheers

If it came that way send it back. It doesn't sound firmware related if did all those things.

you can try install xrecovery and clean all.
After, you download a firmware to flash with the flash tool.
If this fails it is possible that your phone is broken.

try a different sim card, your carrier will have one to try if you don't have a friend to try his

Ive had this for a couple months now, getting worse and worse, since 1.6, multiple re flashed etc. Never fixes, cant [lay games now it crashes and reboots certainly cant handle navigation! Seems to be a problem with the phones, waiting on a spare phone to use while I send mine back to SE. Very annoying sometimes it goes on a reboot cycle takes ages to come back up and keeps rebooting as soon as it starts. Always worse when plugged in to usb/wall
Hey i have been getting the same thing........ random reboots........ since i updated to 2'1. I flashed aosp firmware. Same thing there. Called SE, they said tht i might not have properly upgraded my phone, so come to SE Service Centre.

I haven't had these strange reboots, but lately while manually rebooting my phone it hangs on the rogers white screen for ages.
So? No solution yet? Mine goes into reboot when being charged, specially when opening some apps. The battery then, too, gets overheated. Any solution?

SE is completely ripping me off !!!
I went to their service centre, they told me my phone has been purchased outside my country and will have to pay for software restore and if hardware problem, 75% of mobile cost. It was purchased outside of my country, but I never had this problem with other electronic devices.

solution for this issue. Help please.

My phone was running z's rom 2.2 for x10 when I took it out of my pocket and the screen was black. The blue lights turned on but not the screen. When I turned off the phone, it wouldn't turn back on.
The computer won't recognize it for flash tool or se fix software or battery won't charge if I hook it up to the charger. what do I do? I have never had this issue before. help would be awesome.
thanks. is it bricked?
Solution sort of: I took my phone in to ATT service center and they said my phone and battery weren't working. So I got a new phone for free. (THANK GOD) Xperia x10 refurbished. So I got to mod it all over again. lol. They couldn't tell me what I did wrong or anything. So I guess I have a solution. So whoever has an issue like me, lets just hope your phone isn't dead like mine The other sad thing was they didn't have a battery for me so they are sending me one through the mail. by tomorrow. one day shipping yess!!!! Thanks for all those who put in helpful ideas. Doing some serious phone pimping pretty soon once I get my battery.
Can you boot into xRecovery?
I have a similar issue here.
I am using the CM6.1.3 custom ROM on my phone (Android 2.2). It ran out of battery(for its first time) this afternoon so I charged it and tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't. It just starts up until the Sony Ericsson logo and just fades out and a white light will turn on at the notification lamp for a while and then reboot again. I tried the Sony Ericsson update service to reinstall the software but I changed the firmware and baseband so it doesn't work and it doesn't seem to be able to boot into xRecovery either. What can I do? Help/advice appreciated!
Problem might be with the faulty offline charging.so your battery's flat.I believe there is a fix for the problem, you might need to borrow a battery, install the fix(check the Rom main page) then you should be good to go :
You could also flash a clean rom using the flashtool version 1.3 I think

can you teach me how to flash a clean rom using the flashtool? i already have the flashtool but i dont really know how to use it
thanks
Look in the development section as there are detailed descriptions on this already, but I can say not to worry as it's impossible to brick this phone, it can always be returned to stock. It's the only good thing about not having a cracked bootloader, we cannot be bricked

All stock at&t x10- Random reboots unless airplane mode

My girlfriends all original at&t 1.6 x10 all of a sudden decided it would charge when it wanted to, then the other day just crapped out completely. It kept randomly rebooting so yesterday I restored it using the update service and it seemed fine for about 12 hours.
Today it crapped out again and started rebooting, basically it did the same thing.
I've been screwing around with it using different batteries, and sim/memory cards and I kept getting the same results until I accidentally turned on airplane mode.
Its been up and running in airplane mode for a couple hours without a problem. When I turn off airplane mode, it starts having problems again.
Now what to do?

It might be an app that you recently installed that is causing this problem.
to be safe, i would recommend you to go to the sony ericsson's support website, download the update service software and flash your phone to stock again.

There is not 2.1 on AT&T. They are still running 1.6
so any other advice? im kinda in a bad spot here and dont have the scratch for a new phone
update: just installed generic 2.1 & crossing my fingers
If it is not a software issue flash back to 1.6 and use warranty or insurance. My phone would overheat nad get stuck in bootloops.
update: still crapping out randomly.
im starting to think maybe its not the software or firmware
same issue here, random reboot with official firmwares, if I can change my phone I'll do it as soon as possible, I will never took an SE device anymore.

Reboot issue xperia x10

Hi
I have a problem with my x10, and I've seen that other people have similiar problem but i have still no answer to my question.
The problem is simply that my phone reboots itself when overheating/or connecting to 3g internet.
This is when i first saw the problem:
The phone was recently updated to newest firmware 2.3
( the phone started to reboot itself a couple of days later but i didnt think it was related to the firmware)
At that moment the phone was as new ( no root, no bootloader unlock etc)
Then i thought to fix the problem by ( rooting, unlock bootloader, flash new firmware)
Guess what? Phone still rebooting.
Then i was getting pissed, so i " degraded" the phone and flashed 2.1 firmware.
GUESS WHAT? The problem was solved
My question is now, why the fudge is my phone Rebooting itself in 2.3 firmware and not in 2.1 firmware!?!?
Edit : just used the phone with the 2.1 firmware a couple of days, now its rebooting when using 3g... So frustrating to have a smartphone and not be able to browse the web :S
I have the same problem
Mine is a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a (Rogers)
Looking for a CyanogenMod for ths model just to test...
Any tips?
It wont help with Cm, i have tried....

Try it and report back. If it still like that try different stock kernel and if still rebooting your phone needs new parts.

maybe a battery problem?
I too had the same issue, the phone overheats when using 3g or wifi, downloading, etc, and then it turns off or reboots...
so I got a new battery from ebay, charged it and cleared battery stats and then till now no reboots
The solution i got to ...
My phone is unrooted and loaded with CM7.
it keeps on rebooting when restarted with a sim inside.
the solution i use :
stick the battery in the freezer for a minute.
take it out power on the phone and that's it.
the phone starts perfectly.
odd, but that works 100% of the time for me.
hope it helps.
alright guys, actually i didnt tell u all my attempted solutions. I also got a NEW battery to the phone. didnt work for me im sorry... Now it also reboots when using the CAM recording.
I had that problem back in 2011. My phone used to reboot itself once every two days at first, but the problem got worse after a month and I couldn't use my X10 for more than 15 minutes without it overheating and rebooting. The battery temperature used to be around 40°C before rebooting.
I got it replaced after the third time i sent it to repair. I remember I read that was a motherboard issue or probably letting the phone fall would cause that too.
If you still have warranty try to get it replaced. Wish you luck.

Bumping..
I have found a OEM Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Navigator Flex Cable Ribbon - Replacement Part.
Can that replacement help me to avoid overheating the phone ?
Overheat CPU causes it, you can try heatsink compound (used to apply on computer CPU) to apply on top of Qualcomm CPU to see if it solves

X10 reboots when using apps or playing music

I initially flashed my x10 from 2.1 to 2.3, it worked fine for about 3 months then it kept rebooting when i powered it on, thought it was something with the firmware so i re-flashed it back to 2.1. it is more stable now but when i am using a app/game or play music it freezes up and reboots. i'm using the latest flashtool .9.11 and firmware build- 2.1.A.0435 baseband 2.154
HELP!

i had this issue before & it was caused by a bad battery. it didn't matter which rom i was using. check with a different battery if you have a spare. good luck.

nope my phone isn't rooted, so i don't think its overclocked.
I have the same prob, same firmware you have, bt mine just reboots, even when plugd in, phone was kinda bricked, i managed to flash 2.1 using flashtool, then updated via pcompanion to 3, i still had the reboot/freeze up when i managed to get phone running again on 2.1 global, and i still have it with the upgrade. Is it nt maybe that the batteries cd be faulty? Or they cnt handle the power consumption requests that are required. Cd it be a failing part on the phones mobo? Charge block? Mine resets or freezes whether plugd into power socket, or laptop, mine is chargn though, bt 1 or two of my batrys go frm red to green charge in a few mins switchd on. Which cnt be ryt, so if it cd charge so fast i cn only think it wd lose power just as fast, or freeze or reboot, or there a fault on mobo. What are the hard reset btns?

I know this sounds odd and I thought it was a joke, but baking the main circuit board in the oven for 10min MAY correct system reboots.
Google "XPERIA X10 Oven" and take it from there.
There was/is a thread in X10 Q&A about doing this too.

A soft click sounds like u refern to the vibrate, when the phone powers up, maybe your bat kaput? I cn already feel by the strength of the vibrate if it will boot or nt, its gta be a strong vibrate when powering up, although i still reboot.

You need to flash a new kernel, Try flashing the stock kernel for your O.S. Alot of issues can rise if the kernel is messed up. Being you havent unlocked your bootloader, Or even upgraded to a kernel that has a CWM or "Recovery" menu its going to be more difficult. But dont get me wrong, unlocking your bootloader isn't fun. But you might have to in order to finally fix your issues so that way you can get into more settings on your phone. Get back to me.
Good place for a new kernel? I have rooted and done my stuff with flashtool... eg unlocked bootloader but to this day I stilk have the restart issue. What shd it be clocked at and how do I find out if its for sa because no matter what sim a sim id never detected... but will scan sa networks and show those available... but I cnt use any of those networks as the ohone dont see a sim. It will ask me on inserting a sim locarion and then it says pkease restart and insert a simcard... what the...? Cd that be the cause if my restarts, I have four batteries. .. although they are old
