Every time I flash the cell just powers on then nothing, Ive left it for upwards of 2hrs with nothing. When I update to 2.3 it hangs in a boot loop at the SE logo.

as chris sed, flash tool should work in all circumstances. jus a few questions, when u used flashtool did it succesfully flash with no errors, did u make sure u had enuff battery to flash (50% is recommended). if u had no errors with flashtool and u had enuff battery than i cant see y not it hasnt worked.

And Ive tired 3 different cpus

If any one can recomend a 2.3 rom for flashtools please do so.
My baseband is 1.0.14 and build is R1FA014

So when I flash a rom that works ie 1.6 it shows TA valeus in the flash tools log, but when I flash a rom that wont boot up there are no TA values. Any one have any advice?

Also Ive downloaded 3 different branded 2.1 roms and they all work but.... when my cell boots up and I go into settings and about.. it still says 1.6 ??? WTF!!!

I have to say that is pretty weird and i have never in my life come across it, ok give this a go. Flash a 2.1 Rom make sure that the particular rom can be upgraded to 2.3.3 thru seus or pc companion, id give u a link buh where i usually wud get that from is arkedk post in android development and theyve been deleted. so flash the 2.1 rom, then upgrade to official 2.3.3 using seus or pc companion. see how it goes, dnt know wot else to recommend really.

tried that, and even updated from 1.6 to 2.1 via pc companion and still nothing.
I HATE this phone!!!! thank god for my HD2

something somewhere in the process of wot u have been doing has gone wrong or there is a hard fault somewhere. sorry to hear uve had such a bad xperince with this phone, if uve got warranty send it off, thats all i can think of, or sell it on ebay. sorry i cudnt help u further, best of luck mate.

Do you have the most current drivers for ur phone? Does ur PC recognize ur phone when you turn on usb storage?

Yup and yup, its the strangest thing ever. Can any one point me to a official eu 2.1 or 2.3 rom and not ftf file?

Unfortunately all official SE 2.3.3 fitmwares are in ftf format,if u want to flash a 2.3.3 rom via xrecovery than u need 71 baseband. Go to android development, I recommend erickwills or wolfbreaks rom,its upto u which u choose,hope u find a solution

[Q] Problem updating dual touch

Damn need some help here ..
I tried to update with SEUS but it doesn’t work .. It says that the update is available and all .. And when I press to proceed it says the download failed or something like that ..
My phone has been rooted when I had 1.6 but 2.1 removed the root .. I’ve removed apps that require root such as TitaniumBackup and Barnacle’s wifi tethering .. But it still doesn’t work ..
Anyone in my situation or who can help at all?
btw I have an X10 phone
Appreciate fast replies!
either reflash using flashtool with a stock firmware that came before .435 and then update using suess.
OR
re root ur phone with flashtool then,
just flash one of the dualtouch firmwares found on the site, which would be .435 with flashtool. some come pre rooted etc.
Hmm ok I'll try. But I dont understand why this is happening cuz former update worked just fine :-/ .. And I haven't rooted since then either..
Thx for the reply!
yea idk either.
but try those
if it works remember to thank me !
just to be sure...ur on firmware .24 right ? and ur trying to get TO .435 ?
Actually I already pushed your thank button
Yes I got .24
Okay.
Well idk if u tried anything yet but as I said u can flash the. 435 firmware with flashtool.

Try this first before warranty repair. It will save u money if this works

I'm having the same problem. I believe is something with the sd card. If I use the phone to dial or surf the web there's no problem, but if I start NDrive, or any game that's installed on the sd card, then the phone reboots

What is the ROM or firmware the phone is on? Is the phone rooted, which baseband, and which xrecovery version if you have it? Info like that will help more people help you solve that problem.

Tell me how you are using flashtool, like, which folder are you putting generic firmware.
It should be in the firmware folder.
If you have it in the right folder. What are the error messages saying in flashtool?
Do you know how to put the phone in flash mode for flashtool?
Which version of flashtool do you have?

I always hate saying this but i think you have something wrong with your phone's hardware. Flashtool should have fixed that problem. Have you tried pc companion or seus yet?
If that doesnt, you definetly have a problem. I hate to give you bad news.

could the reboots and apps crashing caused by battery?
I myself have same issue, regards battery i read somewhere a guy had a reboot, crash problem, he bought a 2500mA bat and claimed no more issues? So i think if battery over a two year age then maybe time for new, maybe somewhere these bats cnt handle the sudden power requirements required any longer, i have 4 bats, each oldr than 3 years at least. Anyone knw a place in za that one cd purchase a stronger amperage bat? I cd imagine a hardware issue, bt then why do so many work perfectly but some kp dn this? I have rd many complaints regards this phone. If it still is crashing i wdnt exactly call it anywhere near fixed? Bt im sitting with this prob, and im baffled, bt i still think a stronger batry wd be the 1st solution.

JUST WANT TO UPDATE MY X10 2.1 to 2.3 Gingerbread..

Hi Guys ..

I can not Update it Through Normal Procedure..
and then i Came to know that Bcoz its AT&T providers Product, I cant Update it NOrmaly by PC Companion..
I Just Want To Update My Phone..
Need help..
What to do and how to do..??
Support Will be appreciated..
Download & install flashtool here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
Download a generic 2.3 build here (& put it in the firmware folder): http://www.multiupload.com/JEXUAHAZTL
Open flashtool, click on the flash icon , choose flashmode, select firmware & flash
Post number 2 is the correct device, apart from you will also need to
0. Make sure unknown sources and usb debugging are allowed in
/settings/applications
and
/settings/application/development
1. click on the padlock icon to root.
2. click on the key icon to ask root permissions, allow permissions on the phone.
3. then flash the rom.
thnx but 1 question....!
Thanx guys..

What do you mean by "proper way"? Is it an official way to do it? No. Flashtool method is essentially another pc companion. It does everything pc companion can do and more. The only reason you have/need pc companion is to recognize the phone. That is it. The only problem you will have is a chronic headache from all the lag the stock 2.3.3 FW gives. Remedy that by rooting and installing a custom/complete ROM.
Rooting the X10 device is not necessary, but I highly recommend you do buddy. The X10 stock and when stands alone is a terrible device. but when rooted and applied with a custom ROM, the X10 lives up to many other devices that shouldn't be compared to. Technically, Rooting is not an upgrade. But if we look at the benefits of rooting, well thats a completely different story.
If you have any questions just ask. If I helped, Thanks button is always there bud
This is also my problem. I cant update my x10 to gingerbread. What generic 2.3 build shoud i download? and what is that complete rom?
Better Install a Custom ROM.. eaiser.. Faster.. loads of options
try MIUI... my personal Fav.. or u can use the Team Rom transparent.

Did u try flashtool? I can only see one post by the way it doesn't mention seus

I had the same problem as you recently.
Lost xrecovery, phone not booting, flashtool not seeing phone...
The only thing that fixed it was the flasher at wotanserver.com - someone mentioned it in a post here on XDA.
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/
Its free but you have to sign up...but it is well worth the 2 minutes.
Its all automatic, select your phone and thats it.
It flashes back to GB2.3.
Then you can use flashtool to go where you want from there.

If you say youve tried all possible methods-then the phones knackered.If it was me I would have
Try a different battery
Hardwire a battery
Try using a different pc
Try every version of flashtool
Try x10 flasher
Leave battery out for a while
Then after trying several times some of the above,and still nothing,It would go for repair or on eBay

Just use SEUS or Flashtool (with a 2.3.3 FTF) to go back to stock 2.3.3.
hi Underling,
I've tried
Try a different battery : Yes, done..same thing
Hardwire a battery: don't know how to do it (tries google, didn't get it, can you please enlighten)
Try using a different pc: Yes, done..same thing
Try every version of flashtool: Yes, done
Try x10 flasher: Trying, to work on it..............flasher, you meant to say wotonclient 3.8.0, correct me, if 'm wrong ?
Leave battery out for a while: Done
