Hi everyone this is my first post. I have serious trouble. I bought a X10i few days back it was slow, I upgraded it using PCC. I was working fine but than i give it to my bro, it again slowed down and used to stuck so he restored it but dont know what happened it didnt complete. Now when i push the power button it vibrates and green light blinks but no response the screen remains black . I have no idea wat firmware it have and wat baseband it have. I used the flash tool 0.3.0, 0.2.9, 0.2.8 when i flash the firmware 2.1.A.045 global GGL, 3.0.1G.0.75 global ggl, 2.3_aro it goes into flash mode but at one stage or another it gives an error messsage "ABORT FLASHING" and somthing about turning on the debugging mode. I also used PCC and SEUS but it aborts in during installation, I than tried flash tool 0.2.5 and it flashed the X10i and give me message of flashing complete i did it with the firmware mentioned above but again. When i turn on the phone it just vibrates and green light blinks and nothing else even for two hours .

Check the firmware or flash tool thread here or in the development forum.
I tried that too same result . What kind of forum is this no gurus or experts here who can give an expert advice or suggestion. Too much disappionted
only another "amateur" suggestion i'm afraid.
1) pull out battery (leave for 30 secs)
2) replace battery/DO NOT turn on
3) download a fresh install of SEUS.
4) run SEUS and follow instructions, complete as instructed.
5a) turn on phone, if fixed - yipee,
5b) if not - plug into usb and see if device shows in "computer"
6) (if 5b=yes) you know the phone is at least "contactable". good place to start for further troubleshooting.
7) post your results and be patient my friend, xda (x10) is currently up to its knees in new toys (unlocked bootloader) so people might take a moment to answer you.
hit thanks if i helped, seems my count is low no idea why, i think i'm helpful
Again I installed the fresh SEUS and did as instructed and no luck same result. It completely downloads the firmware but when it comes to installing the firmware its aborts. When i connect X10i to the pc it detects it as "SMEC Flash device" in device manager.
Further instruction needed

Debug mode has to be turned on in application settings in order for flash tool to be able to root the phone. Therefore all settings except flash option will be disabled.

Without futherado heres the guide:
All you need to do is in 7 easy steps.
What you Need:
Flashtool 0.2.5
A Stock Rom FTF file (for now)
If you are not sure download the GENERIC version for your device.
1: Unzip Flashtool to your desktop
2: Place ftf rom file in %desktop%/FlashTool/firmwares
3: Run FlashTool.exe, Click the Flash button and select the Firmware you downloaded.
Helpful Hint said:
Be Sure that your phone is off before connecting in flashmode, or it wont turn green.

4: When Prompted to connect your phone in flashmode. Hold the back button, and plug your phone in to the computer to connect in FlashMode. The LED will go green, if it doesn't, turn your phone off again and try again! or come here for help.
5: Press OK
If you receve an error, please open the 'drivers' folder (%desktop%/flashtool/drivers/) and run the exe file. to install the flash driver, once installed. try step 3-5 again!

SEUS won't work if you rooted your x10. SEUS tells you that there isnt any firmware for your phone. So this way if you rooted and used a custom rom you will get it to work again.

It does, but as we're not yet flashing bootloaders the chance of it literally happening is next to none, so it's more of a "soft brick" right now because we're able to unbrick quite easily by using SEUS or the flashtools.
Lets just say if your phone is bricked it can't be unbricked... Usually happens when flashing a new radio. On the x10 it is impossible so I don't know why people keep using the term
Well if we are not unbricking, what are we doing, what is the term of doing this?
What a rubbish to say you can't use SEUS when you are rooted. I did it at least ten times without any problem. The easiest way there is. Just plugin... Wait.... Done...

I agree i should have been more clear.

Brick - When used in reference to consumer electronics, "brick" describes a device that cannot function in any capacity (such as a device with damaged firmware). ...
Source: Wikipedia
Anyway, when xrecovery stopped working and SEUS didnt work either, this was the only choice for me.
Hey, I have a problem. Now my phone do not want to charge, every time I am trying to charge it, the only thing that happens - led is blinking with red color every 3-5 seconds. Nothing else. The battery is OK, it is tested.
Same than I connect it with PC.
So I can not connect phone in the flash mode, because it does not led with GREEN but only with RED
Any ideas how to save my X10i?
[SOLVED]
I have messed up my phone last night for following some instructions on how to root my x10 but it was actually for 1.6 firmware and i did it on my 2.1-update1 firmware. Right after that, my phone just started to vibrate when i turned it on. The screen turns black and it vibrates non stop. After downloading so many ROMS file to flash, the vibration stops but the screen is still black! It also flickers every 2-3 seconds but not very noticeable. Currently downloading a ROM to downgrade it to version 1.6. Will update you all soon. By that time, please post any recommendation.
But, I can't see a ftf file, only .zip and .rar files. Is there a way to compile them or something, or is it just right? Btw, i flashed the files, and now my screen goes black and strats vibrating too... Anyone a solution?
Hey i tried this method and at step 3 when i go onto x10flashtool the firmware i put in the folder does not come up. Please help, for some reason the firmware wont come up so i cant choose it.
My Xperia X10 is currently not working (see previous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993785) and I still haven't been able to fix it.
I'm trying to use Flashtool to flash the generic X10 Firmware to my phone although
it's taking up to 4+ hours and then my phone battery dies and the flash is unsuccessful.
Why is Flashtool taking so long to flash a firmware to my X10? I've tried a few different computers and still the same problem.
Please Help. Thank you.

I cannot access my phone as of now, it's pretty much a brick. Holding the on button brings only a vibrate and thats it.
what about flashing a rom that you know worked on your phone, making sure you flash the right Baseband for that particular rom first.
EDIT: Sorry just read through you posts and you have probably tried this if you have flashed a rom to it!

not assuming you're silly. but you are making sure you have your finger firmly on the back button when you plug in the phone when flashing yeah? the simplest are often the ones that get you.

Read previous thread in original post.
The phone has crashed for some reason whilst using the FreeX10 Beta4 Rom and I cannot access the phone. It charges fine although I cannot turn on/access my phone.
not sure why the flash is taking so long. attempt to flash a different firmware possibly? Also do you have the latest flashtool?
Impossible to brick so you're not out of luck yet. Try flashing with latest flashtool 2.9.1
I'll attempt now with the Flashtool 2.9.1 beta. It's a shame that as soon as they unlock the bootloader my X10 decides to stop working.
EDIT:
'turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging' - It's impossible to access my phone to turn on USB debugging and unknown sources. What do I do now?
bump, anyone??
Attempt repairing your phone via Sony Ericsson Update Service. If that fails put a compatible basebrand and firmware on your phone. Make sure user data is wiped

Try to use SEUS to repair phone if you can't boot your phone. Do not use PC Companion cause' it will try to detect your phone everytime you use it but your phone can't boot so PC Companion now useless. If you can't repair your phone, you have to bring it to SE service.

It will not detect your phone dude. You must select your phone from the list supported. It will tell you to plug your phone in while holding BACK key and after searching for update, you will have a notice about update or repairing.
Hi, everyone I just joined this forum. I have X10i with firmware 2.1. While searching the thread i came acrosss terms like root, xrecovery, flashing, MT, generic etc. Can someone help me out what these terms mean. I wanted to upgrade my phone to gingerbread. Previously I am an iphone user So i am total noob to this OS and the phone
Thanks in advance
good get away from iphone
root--same thing as jailbreak
xrecovery-- a badass tool that lets you flash roms onto your phone.
flashing-- umm... it is like installing a modified version of even the legit version on the device
generic-- A product having no brand name or registered trademark
example= for device there is branded or non branded
branded means that a company like ATT or Rogers approves that firmware or OS version. So when you turn your phone on, you will usually see something related to them. like an animation of the att world
generic--- clean install. no company restrictions. just regular
ok links for all that crap above
2.3.3 firmware (does not matter if you download x10a or x10i)
Generic-----

I tried that too and amazingly the flashing goes all the way to the end on 0.2.5 in the end i get the msg that flashing complete and remove the phone but when i remove the phone and turn it on it just vibrates and small blip of green flash led than nothing
What could be the problem
1. Download Flashtool from
http://doomlord.sylvester20007.com/x10/x10_gb/FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec.exe
2. Download the generic 2.3 ROM of your choice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11038646&postcount=1
Personally I would get the Global version unless you can find your country specific one.
Global version download - http://www.multiupload.com/JEXUAHAZTL
3.
a) connect your phone to your PC, make sure it installs the drivers (if your Sony software is working it is fine)
b) Extract Flashtool into a directory you know
c) Extract the firmware file you downloaded. And move the ftf file into the "firmware" directory of Flashtool
d) Make sure your phone is not connected to the PC and is off.
e) Run Flashtool, click on Flash and select the firmware you have just downloaded.
f) It will give you the same instruction - holding the "back" key, (phone still off) connect it to the PC. If you did this correctly, the light will be green and it will start flashing your phone.
g) After it is completed, reboot your phone once or twice and check that it is working.
4. Installing xrecovery and rooting refer to instructions (you already have all the files from when you download in step 1)

Have tried them all only 0.2.5 goes all the way to the end but when i turn on the phone it only virbrates and green led flashes for sec than nothing
When you reboot is there anything showing on the screen? Sony logo...anything? If yes, wait it can take a long time for a new rom to install. If no, I think you need to revert back to the 2.1 rom, root and install busybox, superuser, and xrecovery. once thats done you can backup your rom and data so you don't get stuck updating or if you have trouble with a custom rom etc. Also I think your battery stats should be wiped using xrecovery, it sounds like SEUS checked this and the file said your battery was too low to continue the update. Here is a good place to start.

Try taking the battery out and then try flashing again. Which ftf file are you flashing or selecting in the flash program. You need to use at least a 0.2.9 version of the flashtool.... if you use 0.2.5 start with the 2.1.54 ROM first.
I need to flash my X10 Mini, but I can't find the firmware for It anywhere with a working link. Anyone that still have the file and willing to share?
There are only plenty of links to sites that are down

I found everything and fixed everything I needed by just flashing It with a stock kernel.

I'm looking for the firmware for the flashtool so I can flash my device (.ftf file)
They guides that teaches you how to fix a bricked phone got links to megaupload (that got shutdown not long ago) and multiupload (also got shutdown) for the firmware I'm looking for.
If you can't turn the phone on, then flashtool won't help you. You have to able to turn the phone on to get to download mode for flashtool, or Pc Companion, or SEUS to do their thing.
If your phone doesn't turn on, you've got a hard brick. Which is bad.

No, it can be a hard brick, he didn't do anything to put his device in danger (from what he claims).
He just needs a stock .ftf file for mini, which I was planning to do in the past, but did only for the pro... I am sorry my friend... There is only one solution -to make the ftf file yourself, which is something very confusing and you are going to need another mini to do this. But don't get your hopes down, it is possible, at least...

As far as SEUS is concerned, you DO have the latest software. It just doesn't realise that what you have doesn't work. Select the option to reinstall the software.

I will try that thanks, but you need to hard reset before the repair with PC Companion?
I managed to find the stock kernel so now I'm starting the device, but I get a SE logo and then It shuts off.
One problem when I try to repair on step 2 (prepare step) I get a error unable to start or phone update update components. (the pc companions is installed with the newest version)

usb and everything was fine before i started messing around the firmware.
battery was fine and when i was flashing the roms the green light was on and the computer recognised the phone OK so did flash tool. is there anyway of getting the phone into a fastboot mode so i can use the dos fastboot??
thanks

Even if phone shows up error triangle you should be able to use standart flash mode.
About fastboot dont know, never used it.

No problem, it could be done, but not so simply. I did rooting and xrecovery installation without Flashtool many times since Flashtool werent possible torun on Linux
Root could be done with exploit zergRush; but try SuperOneClick first. It will take some time root it completely manual.
Same with xrecovery, but its much more simple, pasting three or four files to root FS.
Try superoneclick first, if it wont help, will provide more step by step information.
EDIT:
Simpliest solution - almost forgotten
Download the zip provided underthis post.
Extract the zip file.
Connect your phone to computer (remember, that USB debugging must be on!!!)
Run file runme.bat (command line window will appear).
Enjoy !

RELAX first.
You will have to flash the stock SE firmware is by using the X10 Flashtool i .e. get your phone to stock and then root it again.
Here's a video link to the procedure :

And a link to the stock SE firmwares:

do you have USB debugging and unknown sources turned on your phone? Because its really strange why adb cant connect.
What ROM and kernel you are currently running on?
@dello what does ur pc say when u type adb devices?
Sent from my X10S using XDA
hi,
running the official rom and kernal that the SEUS installed running 2.3.3
and yes debugging mode and allow are both on but still says cannot connect to deamon, could it be the boot loader? i put ICS on a xperia play and did that fine, do i need to unlock the bootloader like i did with the play?
i did try to but the se website wont unlock it
and ADB in dos wont pick it up list empty
cheers
