Hey guys, in need of urgent help.
Last night i went and installed xrecovery onto my x10. This was to allow me getting free x10 2.2.1 which i did, and i got the hotfix's and they also where fine
But heres the problem...
Didnt know if Darkys Gingerbread 2.3.1 would work for me, but i thought it would b as simple as just reinstalling/unzip the freex10 2.2.1 via xrecovery if my phone wouldnt boot. I was wrong!!!
My phones current state is sitting at the main Sony Ericsson Logo on start up. I have tried to put the phone into safe mode. Connected to the PC and no light appears. The PC sees there is a phone connected but the SD card is not seen. i have a dongle which my SD card plugs into, but i just need help...
Question - What can i do to resolve this stupidity and get my phone working properly again?
Cheers,
Jonny
I havent installed what you have but i have that happen to me before where it just hangs on the se logo
was very frustrating
all i done was use se update service software to basically reinstall the se 2.1
version...
so if everything else failed, give that a shot. it worked for me

Sorry, i should have said that my PC sees the phone but i cant connect to the pc because i need to use the notification bar/connect USB...which i can't get to.. am i doing something wrong?
make sure you download Sony Ericson Update Service for your pc
to connect to that, you should switch your phone off, then hold in the back button while you plug the usb into ur phone...
the software shows you how to do this.
My phone didn't go past the se logo, and didnt want to connect either... but it connected to the update service which let me reinstall the original 2.1
This worked thanks a bunch!!
As per my understanding, we cannot brick the phone till the boot loader is cracked. You mess anything with the phone when flashing or when using xRecovery incorrectly, all you need to do is connect the phone in flash mode to your PC and update using Sony Ericsson Update Service or PC Companion and you will get the stock SE Rom back, and you will be ready to mess it up again
Hi,
before you'll say something: i've done everything in every manual i've found, the Flashtool guide für noobies too.
My problem is, i can't root my X10, flashtool says and superoneclick (i have used every version i have found) said always that my phone is not plugged, but it is!!
At the moment i use the latest firmware, 2.1.A.0.435
So what can i do? Has anyone a simple trick?
greetz Cracker, and sorry for my bad english...
Are you sure you have connected your phone is flash mode....you have to hold the back button while you plug in your phone. The notification led will be green if you've done this right..

Flash mode wtf?
Make sure you have unknown sources and usb debugging enabled then try again with flashtool

USB Debugging is on, and i tested it also on flash mode, but it doesn't helped.
So, i don't know where's the problem
Oops..my bad...he asked about root
Try changing the usb port and then try rooting... the usb port was the problem in my case, it was recognising other usb devices but not my phone.
Also try installing SEUS first so that it installs the x10 drivers onto the pc.
Thanks for your help guys!
I have tested it on an other PC from my friend and it works perfectly, don't know why
My brother had a same problem, and we spend 2 hours to solve...
The problem is: pc companion or seus not installed before...

So i was running Tripnmiui and on baseband .54 and firmware 435?
and I wanted to update to the new SE Gingerbread, So i connected my phone to my computer and ran the update through the SEUS (PC companion). And it installed the update. But when i turned on my phone it kept boot looping the Sony ericsson logo..
I think i bricked my phone..
Anyone know how to unbrick it or fix it from here? with a possible tutorial?
By the way my battery is pretty low on my phone so i only have one shot.
Thanks you guys!!
Yea, Use the SEUS/PC Suite tool. Go to Update phone and search for the repair link. Connect the phone in flash mode and it ll get you back to stock.
Edit:
I would charge the phone first though, for at least like an hour.
U ran update through seus or pc companion??
Btw,try repairing it with seus again.

Cant mount the phone therefore i can't Connect to SEUS
Okay follow these specific instructions (I went through the same thing yesterday when I tried to update to the new Iris ROM)
Connect the phone to your comp and start PC Companion
At the PC Companion Home Screen click on the Start button in the Support Zone Tab
Click start again under the Phone Software Update section
A message that the PC companion could not find the phone will pop up.
Click on the repair phone link there and wait.
It took almost 20 mins but my phone unbricked to Stock 2.1
So apparently no one on here wants to help me unbrick my X10a for free so now I am going to offer money, no specific dollar amount until someone can get it working again, even if it's only for a short period of time. The link to my original thread is linked above, whoever gets it working can request the amount they think it was worth spending their time. Good luck, for both of us. I have seen several others with this same problem, if they would like to join in the bounty for us, and future bricks, feel free to leave a post of PM me.
I only skimmed over your last thread so let me ask a few questions.
Flashtool doesn't work at all?
So what version flashtool do you have and has it worked previously?
Did you unlock your bootloader?
When you connect to flashtool do you keep the back button held the WHOLE time?
EDIT:
Read your thread. Looking at the flashtool screenshot it looks very similar to an error i was having at one point. Even tough i had the drivers installed they didn't want to play nice. I downloaded Flashtool 0.2.9.1 and reinstalled drivers. When in flash mode i seemed to HAVE to hold the back button down the whole time.
I have tried it both ways, to hold it the entire time, or until I get the error, and let go as soon as it starts flashing. Both have the same end result of the aborting of the flash. Also, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times as well as used Gordon's reset usb ids everytime I try.

Are you sure you have a stable connection with your data cable?!! (USB port and cable work fine, not lose or something!!)
Question: The Green Led (the light that comes "on" while you're in flash mode) goes off while you are flashing?
Sorry all, lost my isp for a bit. Yeah, I'm sure about the USB connection. I have gone as far as to taping it down to make sure it doesn't move. lol. And when flashing, the light does stay on but there have been times where the light goes off half way through despite not being moved since it initialized connection.
What where you running?? Did you try seus???

Okay i had your error message too a few times here is what i did i re installed the x10 drivers it was included in flashtool then i flashed stock 2.1 it worked like a charm !
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Try this:
1- uninstall pcc and seus
2- run some aplication to clean the registry of the computer.
3- install again pcc and seus
4- connect your phone and let PC to install the drivers automatically.
5- use flashtool to flash a firmware designed for you baseband. Try android 2.1 first to test it.
If it still doesn't work try to do all in a computer with another windows version. Sometimes Windows 7 give a little problem to install drivers.
One computer that has never been used for this is excellent because there is no conflicts between applications and drivers

Also turn off UAC (user access control).
Don't know if this will help too but have the latest version of Java installed.
Similar problem
So did your X10 work?
I am having the following problem:
Mistakenly wiped everything using xrecovery, even system.
Now no computer recognizes device (10 different systems with XP, Vista, 7)
unable to boot into flash, stuck at SE logo,
already tried different versions of flashtool, tried all the drivers including gordon gate, android drivers, pcc and seus but device still not recognized
Now is my X10 bricked or what!
Any hope anybody?

Reinstall Windows and then:
1. Download the latest PC Companion from SE site.
2. Install it on your PC then open the programm and choose the "update service" there.
3. Then you'll find there a phrase saying "repair phone".
4. Then only follow the instructions of PC Companion to repair your phone.
And ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS read FAQs, Guides, and Tutorials.
Format PC and install SEUS and PC Comp....
Disable UAC in windows 7
Restart PC
Follow procedure for flashing,with Flashtool 0.2.9.1...
Wait for drivers to be installed (must have internet connection)
Use Stock 2.1 Firmware file first!
Run it As Administrator
Change USB Cable, take shorter one and plug in in the back of PC (directly on motherboard)...
I had already tried pcc but I tried again as you said.
Formatted new PC with windows 7, turned UAC off.
Downloaded new pcc and ran the program.
After hitting the update link it says to connect the usb cable but after connecting usb cable it does not install the drivers. It says to disconnect and reconnect if nothing happens for 30 seconds so I did that and upon connecting usb cable it says unable to connect to the phone. I think the phone repair link is after the phone is connected to pcc but I can't connect to pcc.
And how do I connect the usb cable directly to the motherboard? Do you mean to open my desktop cabinet and locate the usb port on the motherboard, disconnect the already connected back and frontpanel usb headers and then connect the usb cable to the usb header on the motherboard?
Also tried flashtool 0.2.9.1 but no success, keeps trying to connect but to no avail.
I tried SEUS awhile ago, it's in the original post. I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them several times as well as uninstalling Windows drivers and only using Gordon's drivers and that did not work. I taped the back button down on the device but that still did not work. I'm at a loss...
About installing the drivers, how about this:
Download the standalone drivers: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U2PY6QOR and read these instructions provided from SE Support:
First, it is important to install drivers properly.
Start with the SEMC drivers.
When X10 is connected to the computer you should use ADB for X10 not ADB that comes with Googles SDK since it is not compatible with X10, yet. Use ADB for X10 included in attatchment, and write adb devices.
If you get something like CBxxxxxxxx then ADB works with X10. To kill old ADB server you can use adb kill-server command.
Good luck
(Note: i found this info over the net, it's kinda old, May 2010 but may works, who knows!)
Another option to install the drivers is to download and install this software: http://www.mediafire.com/?pq0idzzyasmzui0 This is the Unlock Software provided from cellunlocker.net which i used to unlock my X10, it has the option to install the drivers for you on the software folders (in windows start menu).
Try again after installing these, specially the second option (Unlock Client), who knows, maybe you'll get lucky!
Hope this helps!
How bout this. Start fresh from another PC.

I have updated everything, I have actually started fresh from my Laptop to see if it had something to do with my home PC but it does the same thing. As far as ADB goes, you cannot access ADB if the phone is net set to debugging mode, adb will not recognize the phone, even in flash mode.
Will you can try this it has worked for a few others and if it does work JUST the thanks button is good for me. And just Be Patient go slow and it will get fixed if it's not already. And after you get it working then you can update too what ever Rom you wont.
Have Fun

Hi..
As it says, I was trying to unlock bootloader and turned out that Flashtool doesn't recognize my phone as rooted device at all, so why is that? I made sure that my phone is updated to the latest stock ROM, baseband..everything. And root works since I can access system files from root explorer (SU app is installed also)..I'm on Win8 and my phone was rooted using Flashtool 0.8.5 a long time ago..Any ideas?
I forgot to mention that "root" button on Flashtool is also grayed out.
Anyone?
have you tried latest flashtool ? windows 8 is new system with different structure like w7 or vista. however I have installed latest flashtool with PC Compaion on laptop with windows 8 and runs good. // the only think that I used there is flashing diferent kernels so I dont know if "root" button works or not.//
Yes I'm using the latest version with PC companion installed..
at my first try to flash I had several problems. One seemed to be caused by some kind of "wrong" root, means i could use all kinds of root apps correctly, but couldnt flash kernels etc... however, i used superoneclick and nothing changed.
As it didnt work, i repaired software via pccompanion and rooted with newest fllashtool (0.9) and all worked. I remember it because it nearly got me crying because i followed every step exactly.
