[Q] Xperia x10i wont boot after root atempt - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Last night, i tried to root my Xperia x10i phone, following the steps in this article:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
After completing the 1st step, i tried to boot my phone. I get the usual vibration when booting, and after a second or two, the phone had started vibrating endlessly.
Then i tried to recover it using PC Companion (Connected in flash mode). It downloaded the firmware and installed it to the phone flawlessly.
I disconnected the phone, in switch on. Get the usual vibration, and then the screen backlight starts to turn on and off constantly. As the PC Companion says this could happens for a few minutes at first boot after update, i waited, but it simply remains doing the same thing, and never show the SE logo.
I tried to repair again, this time using SEUS, following all the instruction, with same result.
I dont know what else can i do... Please Help!!!

this will help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmX-IYNYqL8

You mean try to flash it to 2.1? Or to 1.6?

flash it to 2.1

Ok. I've just tried to flash with a 2.1 x10i generic rom and a 2.3 x10i generic rom, following the steps in the video. Dont work...

hmm.. weird, any1 can help here?

Yesterday, i left the phone in the office, with the battery out, hoping that something i read in a forum, about this could work, was true. Today i take the phone, put the battery back, and turn on the phone, and... No luck... My xperia is still dead...

Try using SEUS instead of PC Companion.
Follow the instructions ins SEUS and make sure that the phone is off and hold down the BACK button before you plug in the USB cable and make sure you keep it pressed down until the software tells you otherwise.

I've done so, but still dont work... But i'll try again...

I've just tried with SEUS, which download the 2.3 update. SEUS run all the way, and says disconect and turn on. Same result...

Any sugestion?? I almost give up on this... =(

I have the same problem, i have tried to flash my phone like 30 times i have bought a new battery and still no go, it continuasly vibrates.
And i don't even have to pres the back button to put it to flash it always on startup stayes in flash mode.

[Q] x10 stuck on Sony Ericsson screen

Hi all,
I tried to put a other custom rom on my x10 but it didnt work:
First i rooted the phone, then istalled xrecovery then i booted into xrecovery and selected custom rom, now my phone booted but its stuck on the Sony Ericsson screen
Flashtool is able to root the phone but then the debugging mode error comes,
Seus cant connect with the phone because i cant boot into save mode, also flashtool cant connect with the phone if i try to flash it.
im out of ideas!
HELP!
sorry for this bump but im desperate!
First of all. Was your root successful? If yes then does your base band support the rom that you're trying to install because one gets stuck in the boot loop if the baseband is not correct for that particular rom.
Cheers!

It says the root was succesfull, but then you have to enable USB-Debugging mode but thats impossible beacause there isnt a correct rom on the phone so you cant boot and enable USB-Debugging mode.
I had the same problem 2 days ago.
I fixed it by downloading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959821 this one
Place it into flashtool, and wait till flashtool gives you the message to connect your phone in flashmode.
(im probably sure you know how to, but ill explain it anyways, remove your battery (because its stuck on the logo), wait a few seconds. put it back in. hold the back button, and connect the usb wire, untill the ledlight turns green.. fast press 'ok' on the flashtool screen, otherwise your phone will go out of flashmode)
Thanks, for the reply,
Ive contacted the Phone house, and they sended it back to SE, now SE says the phone has water damage, very wierd but still ill get it back today and then try to flash it your way

X10i not starting

The phone now doesen't turn on, it stays with the green LED on and the exclamation sign with the phone appears on the screen. It makes this after trying to update it, at the end PC Companion gave me an error and now...
I need help it's not my phone
Pull out the battery for a while and try again...If it doesn't open try to reflash it
I tried with the battery and it still doesen't turn on. How can i reflash it ?
Try to update it again through PC companion..Or download flashtool and the suitable 2.1 rom for your mobile phone here and follow the instructions
PC Companion keeps telling me to pull out the battery and turn on the phone, but the phone won't turn on. How can i find the suitable rom ? I don't know anything about the phone(baseband, kernel, etc)
LE: Just flashed a random ROM and it worked. Thanks for the help
Nice No problem dude

I tried to update my phone (2.3) with PC companion, it worked well until the end but i had an error message, I tried a second time but the same, and now I have a warning logo immediately after the sony ericsson logo :
When I connect my phone to my computer, it boots and I have the same logo, and it reboots, I tried to press the return button and it didn't work...
And I can't access to the repair function of PC Companion.
I hope you can help me...
Just download firmware (.ftf) file and flash it with flashtool.
Just go to xperia x10 android development forum and search for flashtool.

Thats exactly what i did too everytime i brick my Xrecovery.
SEUS..
I tried all those softwares (PC Companion, SEUS, FlashTool) and nothing worked...
With SEUS and FlashTool, It seems to work, but in the end, I have an error message. With FlashTool the installation aborted and with SEUS a failure.
Could it be the battery? (I can't charge my phone...)
Try and diconnect the battery for a few minutes and plug the charger in again and leave it for a few hours.
If you take the back cover off there is a small rubber cover that can be carefully takem loose and beneath that cover you see a white plug and that is the batteryconnection to the phone.
I´ve bricked mine so many times now that I just leave that rubber cover off...

Help with bricked x10 please

Can you still access xrecovery at all?
If not, what can you when you try to flash something via flashtool?
Did you try PC Companion instead?
Flash the stock SE firmware (I would recommend the 2.3.3 one to save yourself trouble) from Flashtool. If that doesn't work, you're pretty much screwed.
DL firmware from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Best option is given by Panzerfaust101
Another option is as follows:
Remove the battery.
Connect your phone to system with the battery still out.
Now hold the back button and put the battery on, green led will glow.
Now you are on flash mode and this would stay for not more than 10 secs, install the latest firmware and then try accessing Xrecovery.
Its should do the trick!!

[Q] Busybox borked my X10 mini pro

Hi All.
I ran mybackup root for the first time in a long time, only to find a nag screen telling me to install the latest busybox which I did. It was installed into system/bin and on rebooting my X10 mini pro I can no longer get passed the sony ericsson splash screen. I do have an older version of CWM recovery but cannot access this either. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have a custom rom and apps that I'd rather not lose by resorting back to stock.
Thanks.
Well, I've tried pc companion, and still can't get passed the SE logo so can't follow the instructions to repair the phone. Looks like the phone is bricked. This couldn't have come at a worse time, as it's days after Christmas. :crying:

You can always repair the phone, you only need flashmode to do that
Leave it unplugged, choose update in PC Companion
It can't recognise your phone so offer you the repair option
Follow the instructions and connect your phone in flashmode when it asks for it.
(Connect the usb-cable, press home and power buttons simulaneously and when the screen goes black, release those and press the back-button)
Pc companion did recognise the phone. But then asked me to use the pull down menu, as I couldn't even get passed the SE logo, I could not accomplish this task.
I have, however, flashed the phone via SEUS, and now have the SE firmware on there so am good to go. I don't know why I needed the pull down menu on PC companion, and not on SEUS to flash the phone. But at least there are other options to sort the phone out.
Thanks for the reply anyway SmG67.
