Use pc companion to repair phone.

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...

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...

I had the same problem with xRecovery.
before I put the beta 2, I have made a backup with xRecovery to save my 2.1 [Eminence v1.2]
then I stucked with SE white logo, I pulled the battery out, rebooted and went back to xRecovery..
so If you didn't made any backup, use Flash Tool or reflash.. same thing, same result

Hold the back key while putting in the battery, cable already connected and SEUS running - your looking at the bootloader saying - no firmware - so load one onto it and your good!

The X10 is impossible to brick, that is about the only good thing with the locked bootloader that SE uses.
You should be able to resolve your problem by starting PC companion agian, and follow the instructions as you did the first time (when you pulled the cable). When inserting the USB while holding the back-key down the phone enters flash mode, this flash mode does not get overwritten when flashing the android OS, so even if the OS is corrupted the flashmode still works, and can be used to rewrite a fresh copy of android to your phone.
Its an easy fix,flash the phone on flash tool

[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

[Q] Xperia x10i wont boot after root atempt

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.

Plzzzzz help to fix my bricked X10 MINI

Plz help me out. I installed xperia mini rom in my x10 mini (by mistake) and now it is not going beyond Sony Ericsson logo.
I can't afford to loose my phone so please help me.
You're going to need to use the Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) , downloadable from the Sony Ericsson website.
Thankx bt I have already tried that. The problem I encounter is that the software doesn't recognize my phone;-(

have you tried using a flash tool and flashing the firmware?

Did you try to hold the back button while connecting your phone to SEUS?
Hi, I need help too with my bircked phone. I can not flash firmware, also did not work for me SEUS nor PC companion.
From flashtool I got this message (atteched pic).
You need to unlock your bootloader to flash new kernels. It says so in the instructions. You can tell yours is locked by having a look at VER= right before the error. When you unlock your bootloader, that R turns into r. You won't be able to flash any kernel without unlocking it first, which will void your warranty.
How to unlock the bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
The info is all around, there's little reason to be banging against these issues...
With S1tool I cant get to flash mode, the led is red blinking. No green led.
Also before I bricked phone flashing nAa kernel I unlocked the bootloader.. But looks NOT
I already had similar problem and discovered that my issue was caused by build.prop file. When I installed a rom from other device the phone was not starting because build.prop was not correct.
I supose you had usb-debuging active so while stuck at the logo try to use a program like "ADB mask controller" to check your build.prop. If you see minmi there then it's incorrect, for X10 mini it should be robyn. Replace the file
I just want to go back to stock rom. But SEUS nor PC companion not workin for me, coz I cant get to flash mode. I cant turn on my phone, I not see SE logo too.
Flash Mode normally works, you press the back button and insert the cable without letting go of the button. But to this when the applications requests it because the phone doesn't stay in flash mode unless there is activity.
After long pressed back button (>5 min.) I get to flashmode with SEUS, but then.. failed (pic below).
From PC Companion I get error too.
The main quastion - is it possible to unbrick my phone??? I almost gave up

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!!
