Hi guys - flashed my x10i a few times and have tried various roms via xrecovery install and all worked fine. I was trying another new rom yesterday and the battery fell out halfway through install. Not sure what has happened, but x10 now stuck on sony ericson boot screen and wont enter xrecovery (i think its not there tbh) and as its stuck on boot screen, I cant select debugging mode. Flash tool wont work as cant enter debugging and when i hook it up to sony service update, it just says newest firmware/software installed.
I have tried, and still trying, one click but that keeps hanging!
Help guys . . . please
Flash a kernel maybe.

I have flashed the downgrade and dooms kernal that came with the flash tool but it only semi flashes as I cant put the x10 in debug mode as cant enter settings due to constant display of boot screen. Really screwed
Did you do a back up?

You dont have to flash downgrade only dooms.

Gone back in to flash tool. selected azuzu kernal and flashed to point where it says to reconnect x10 in debugging mode (which i cant!). Not sure if this was a succesful flash but x10 still stuck at boot screen. Service update still states latest software installed. x10 still bricked. oneclick keeps stating the following:Killing ADB Server...
OK
Starting ADB Server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
OK

Do you have the 2.3.3 firmware, perhaps you can flash that.

Perhaps Im not doing something right here, but i was under the impression that you had to be able to select 'allow external/third part software' and 'debugging' from x10's settings in order for the flash tool to do anything. As I cant access any of the x10's settings to turn these functions on, I cant use flash tool?
The only option available inside flash tool is 'flash' which has pre installed kernals from azuzu and when i select flash, it says the following:
flashing kernal.sin - flashing finished - now unplug device and power on - go to apps and select unknown sources and debugging.
Cant do anything as stuck on boot screen when powered on
In SEUS did you try the repair option? Try downloading and flashing a different kernel, I don't think you need debugging on to flash a kernel. Just don't plug phone in until it says to connect in flashmode
From my XPERIA X10S v8.2 on JaBKerneL @ 1.15ghz
Flashed with azuzu kernal to point where it asks for power on and unknown sources and still in boot mode.
Just realised that when i power on the phone and connet it to flash tools it doesnt recognise the x10 but does when in flash mode - odd.
checked and laest drivers installed on pc but replaced them and still the same.
I am completely stumped and at the end of my rope now
Cant understand why service update recognised x10 and says latest firmware installed but cant boot.
With custom Rom it's normal for it to say it's 'up to date' but then find the repair button and press it. Without using repair SEUS only checks for stock Rom updates, if non stock Rom installed just says up to date
From my XPERIA X10S v8.2 on JaBKerneL @ 1.15ghz
There doesnt appear to be a repair option after it has stated that it is running the latest software. There also doesnt seem to be an option prior too.
I really have had it now. Bringing a grown man to his knees!
I have never had so much trouble with a mobile divice and trying not to throw the paperweight against the wall now!
Dude we are sailing on the same ship.. I too got stuck at SE logo..
Tried what all i can do..
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
managed to find repair option. all goes well untill download bit. select model of phone then i get a message saying 'sorry, no software available for x10, please try again later' . . . . . WTF!
seriouslt stressed onboard this two man ship!

Guys, no need to panic If you don't mind losing your data, as far as I can see you have flashtool installed, then:
1.- download the generic firmware for your phone (I'm sure you don't really wanna have you carrier branded crapware...errrrrrr..... firmware) you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746, in case you get lost, just get it from here http://minus.com/mAla782XK/1f
2.- inside flashtool you'll find several folders, unrar your firmware (X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846.ftf ) inside firmware folder, do not connect your phone yet
3.- run flashtool and click on "flash" icon, pick flashmode, then OK
4.- On the left side select your firmware and hit OK
5.- It will say "preparing files for flashing"
6.- A window giving you instruccions will pop up, just press and hold the back button on your phone, connect the USB cable (which is already connected to PC, of course ) and don't let go the button until you read flashtool started to flash
7.- wait 'till it finishes (praying will help........., well maybe not, but will keep you busy haha)
8.- It will only take a few minutes, the only moment it seems it's stucked is when is flashing "system" , don't worry, it takes a little longer that the other files.
9.- after is done, just unplug, turn it on and wait, don't forget first boot always takes a little longer too!!!!!!
10.- If you want to, use flashtool to root your phone and install xrecovery afterwards, that's it, brand new
Hope it helps and is clear enough, any question just ask, I'm usually here, either on home or phone
Sorted it. I downloaded an early version of flash tool (0.7.1.0) and put a stock .ftf in firmware file. flashed like a charm.
X10 no longer bricked

Can you explain with more detail about "connecting to flashmode in flashtool" ?
I read in some posts-connect your phone to flashtool and flash the stock firmware files to get back your phone
I connected my phone with the volume key down to flashtool,but it stated an error and didnt proceed..
You erased everything, obviousely. But Flashtool should still work.
I'll go searching for a user who I know already did the same as you... maybe he'll have useful information
EDIT
Which error?

Are you able to boot your device in clockworkmmod?
Ok, let's do this:
-Start Flashtool
-Plug USB cable to PC
-Turn off the phone
-Press and hold volume down button
-Plug microUSB to the phone
-Post the complete Flashtool log
By the way, did you install flashmode drivers?

He formatted everything, CWM included.
I installed the flashmode drivers..
It gets stuck at the black sony logo at the start and does nothing,I had to switch it off after removing the battery..
When I connect the phone in flashmode,it says error and says device disconnected and then the phone remains at sony logo..
I'll post the log soon
GOOD NEWS!
I tried flashtool again and this time it WORKED!!
THANK YOU TO ALL
p.s-Now I'm on stock GB .58
Try to flash a different ftf file and see, preferentially an old GB Build.
If this doesn't work,
Try updating to latest Flashtool.
Install the exe at /flashtool/drivers folder.
Then flash again.
Thanks,
Rick
Edit: Okay, never mind. It's done.

Hello
My phone: sony ericsson experia Neo (MT15i)
I tried to instal CM9 but something went wrong and now i cant start my phone.(normal, recovery nor fastboot)
I downloaded CM9, extracted the boot.img file, and placed it in the fastboot folder.
Then i placed the Zip and the google apps on the SD-card.
I then rebooted the phone in Fastboot and flashed the boot.img file.
Everything looked like it went fine but the phone wasn't rebooting. I've tried alot of things now but nothing works.
The only thing that happens when I try to put on the phone is the slight vibration in the beginning and then nothing happens.
Can somebody please help me? I cant even go in recovery with CWM
I also had this problem with CM 9. You just have the flash the old kernel back. Or you can flash the whole firmware again: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
Edit: with Flashtool.
I would have tried that, but the problem is i cant go into flashmode anymore. Nothing works.
Fastboot?
Doesn't work either

@OP: what happens when you try connecting in fastboot mode? No blue led? Hows your phone named in device manager?

I had the same problem with that CM9 kernel and I had unlocked bootloader & I recovered my phone using SUSE by the same process I wrote that's y I suggested him those steps

I was thinking there was a trim area problem so I was looking for a solution.
At first there was nothing, no device recognized when I attached it to a pc. No flastboot, no flash, no recovery, no leds, nothing at al (exept for a slight vibration in the beginning).
Then I followed the method for unlocking the boot loader with testpoint and then te pc recognized the device as a neo. But thats all. Nothing more, stil no reaction when i try to turn the phone on in any way.
I disconnected the device and now when I reconnect it it isn't recognized anymore.

Use Flashtool, flash an Official Global ftf from SONY, then let it boot up. It will work. Only way to do it. PM me if needed
Is this the OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 9 RC1? The boot.img does not work. Use the boot.img from FXP's Unofficial CyanogenMod 9. It works. Personally though, use FXP's CM9 cause it's working better then the official one.
Before using the full restore method (The Flashtool thing) try flashing the boot.img from FXP first. Still doesn't work? Flash official, boot-up, turn off, flash FXP kernel, full-wipe, flash ROM, reboot.
My Phone is fixed.
Alejandrissimo helped me with rebuilding the Trim Area.
Everything works fine now, except connecting to 3G/HSDPA. I used to be able to connect to it but now it doesn't anymore.
Does someone knows a solution for that?
bricked

Hello Evrybody
i have a huge Problem with my ST15i
I had Rooted GB on it and evrything works fine till i decided to try a custom ROM
so i instal Recovery Tool and installed a Custom Rom for ST15 i
after installling and rebooting to the new rom, i noticed when i tried to open the screen lock bar that the touchscreen didnt react exactly - i had to slide at the other side of the display to unlock it!
So i decided to make the phone fresh with SEUS and ICS4.0! After SEUS update i restarted my phone and the whole touch display didnt work anymore!
only the hardbuttons - i cannot back to any Recovery tool , with out touch display i cant switch to uUSB Debug Mode!!
Is there hope to help my Phone!!
Thx in Advatage!!
Hi,
This means you installed custom rom and it didn't work? And then you connected your phone to pc and used seus while you were on custom rom? You did not flash original sony from back first and updated (or tried to update) while you were on custom rom?
Have you tried to use flashtool? I don't know if your touchscreen has bricked up completely, but you could flash gb firmware back, so you have a clean gb rom.
For this download sony flashtool from here and install it. You go to the drivers section of the flashtool folder on your computer and install them. Then you download the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom (for SK17i) rom from here and move it to the firmware folder of flashtool on your pc. Then you start flashtool and click on the flash. You select flashmode and then you select the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom and click ok.
Then you turn off your phone (make sure it is over 50% charged) and hold volume down key. Then you plugin the usb cable to pc and smartphone while holding volume down. It should flash the original gingerbread rom.
If the flash finished you can hope that the touchscreen workd, if not I don't know a solution.
BUT: I DONT TAKE ANY RESPOSIBILITY FOR THIS METHOD!!!
If it has worked you can be lucky, if not you are on non-rooted gingerbread rom and could bring your device to the service, but I'm not sure!
OR: First read this thread cause he has similar problem!
Best regards
Michael
i managed it already to install androis SDK on pc and ADB Drivers - via Fastboot i can reach the Device and Bootloader seems to be open, the blue led is wworking, windows accepts my phone as installed android ADB Device - and when i try with Flashtool, and some other different tools to flash new kernel - i always become the mesagge ithe device must be rooted even from fastboot when i use the (fastboot flash boot boot.img) command
I will try some other things , when this does not helps so i try with service
THX
But led is working anyway, it doesn't say, that the bootloader is unlocked. Maybe really flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware using flashtool and then try if touch works, otherwise bring device to service, but I don't know if they can notice your try to install a custom rom.
Hope it will work for you!

what if on 4.0.4 rom so i need to reflash same custom firmware(problem)
I tired to restart phone after noticing that WI-FI isn't working (maybe my internet was laggy, don't know). After restarting phone was stuck on LG logo, i tried many times but again LG logo.
Then i started recovery, and wanted to flash some new ROM. But my CWM won't recoginze my SD card (to add, i wasnt using SD card with this phone). I tried other SD but problem stays. I google it and found out that maybe CWM needs update?
Version of CWM Recovery v6.0.3.1
This shows up when recovery starts..

How to unbrick phone now?
Unfortunatly don't know what ROM was flashed before, or is bootloader unlocked or not. (coming from LG 3D, LG l9 was present. LG 3d methods for flashing is diffrent, so im little confused how to start anything now)
To add that phone now cannot turn on without charger pluged in. Powering on was OK in first few time...
First and important question. Did you unlock your booloader? If yes, you can install cutom roms. If not, you can't install custom roms.
Did you also try to enter SV mode?
1. Power off phone
2. Press and hold volume up
3. Connect phone by usb to PC
4. Wait few sec
5. SV mode should appear.
When you are in SV mode, you can restore stock rom by official LG program.

I started S/W upgrade, and in upper corner it says Bootloader Status: unlocked. So bootloader is unlocked for sure then..
If i manage to update CWM will that solve my problem with SD card? After that just to flash ZIP from recovery?
O something else?

Thanks, now really noob question..
I googled how to update recovery on L9, and found methods with installing some APK, but as i cannot start system how to flash then?
There is 2 ways to install new recovery.
You can flash .zip in old recovery, reset phone and you will have new recovery.
You can also flash new recovery by fastboot. You need to have .img recovery.
Can you reset to fastboot in recovery options?

What next.. S/W mode says Bootloader unlocked, and before all this phone was using JB..
I still didn't succeded to recover my phone.
My computer simply cannot see my phone, i tried all tools that were avalible. On 3% to 7% (on updating), just says that phone is not connected.
Strange thing is that i managed to flash V20H_00.kdz two times. Every single time i do the same but only that 2 times flash was successful. One time was with "offline method" and then with "LG flashtool 2014", after that flashing i got dead android with red triangle both times.
Then i wanted to flash v20c_00.kdz , but cannot pass 3% to 7% on flashing AGAIN. I'm frustrated !
I tried to flash on other computer but again, phone is not recognisable.
What to do now?
Can i flash ROM with fastboot ?
UPDATE.
I started upgrade recovery with LGMobile support tool, and finished flashing. But AGAIN i got dead android with red triangle!
Now what to try!?
Update
I even tried to flash ROM on WIN XP, but nothing. Again proces stops on 3% (then quckly) jump to 7%. And thats it.
Strange thing that when i start UPGRADE RECOVERY on Official LG TOOL (i think thats official), program download 500mb+ KDZ and process is successful, but i get Dead Android with red triangle..
Anyone have any advice? What to try?
