Cannot boot into Xrecovery. Help!! - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was using SE likes miui rom. Was working perfectly then all of a sudden screen stopped responding.
Took out the battery, switched on, kept on pressing back button but it doesnt boot into xrecovery and straight away goes to miui where it just hangs after unlocking the screen.
So, now im downloading this firmware Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC.
Can someone brief me the further steps?

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

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] 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.
i hv diff problem , i m stuck on sony ericsson text phn isnt even booting
nw
i hv tried this one and tbhaaanmmmmm ITS FINE NOW

Sony Ericsson x10 mini does not work

Hey guys
Didnt find same issue for Sony Ericsson x10 mini
My problem:
I rooted my x10 mini android 2.1 to 2.3 CyanogenMod 7.0 with this version my SD card didnt work. Then tried CyanogenMod 7.9, after restart theres only Sony Ericsson logo on the screen, then I disconnectied battery and phone went to clockworkmode. From there I cant do anything. I have tried to restore( no files ) and then reinstall android but installation was aborted. when I reboot my phone then logo stays.
something happened, riht now only Sony Ericsson logo on the screen. clockworkmode does not work anymore!
I hope somebody can help me out. Its my first Android and im new at this.
Sorry for my bad english.
Donwload Sony Ericsson Update Service.
Turn the phone off. wait 5secs, hold the back key and plug it it in with SEUS open. it should prompt you to repair. you will go back to stock Android 2.1, after that reflash.

X10 Bootloader Unlocking Problems

Uh, so I've been having a few problems trying to unlock the bootloader on my X10 and I came to some problems:
1. When I first connected my phone with the USB cable, the FlashTool showed that my phone had debugging mode off even though I checked it and it was on!
2. I ignored this problem and decided to try unlocking the BL anyways. When I shut down my phone, held the back button and plugged the USB cable to put the phone into Flashmode, after 10-20 seconds it would automatically reboot itself and get my phone out of Flashmode, making me unable to flash Kernel Downgrade!
3. This time I trained my fingers and tried to flash Kernel Downgrade before my phone started to reboot itself and I succeeded. But now that I flashed it, the next step for unlocking says
"disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)"
but the problem is that my phone won't go anywhere after the Sony Ericsson text (not the logo with the circle and stuff where it's supposed to)
I am using (or at least was using until I flashed Kernel Downgrade) DoomLord's Kernel v6 and ViolentOS ROM. I have also tried restoring the xRecovery backup I made exactly before starting the flashing, but it still won't work, the phone always gets stuck on the Sony Ericsson text. What am I supposed to do?!
What logo with the circle?? That's the boot animation, loaded when system is already running. It is supposed to be stuck at the first screen, that's when system starts loading kernel and can't with "wrong" baseband.
Sony Ericsson text is WHERE it has to be stuck.
Also, at least for me, I couldn't do unlock without 2.1 rooted system installed, had to flash baseband and system, then unlock and then restore my 2.3 backup.
New Problem

@kalte The logo with the circle is the animation that comes after the text.
But forget what I said. I'm trying to boot the phone and it's not working. I disconnected the USB and took off the battery then put the battery back in to see if it could boot. It's stuck at the text even though I restored everything with an xRecovery backup. Is this because of the Kernel Downgrade?
FIXED IT!
I'm such an awesome person! Just had to flash the Generic Kernel Upgrade. Everything is working, with my previous settings and all.

Flash Stock Firmware of your region using flashtool, to get you phone back to life. & try unlocking your bootloader using Flashtool.
PS- Flashtool never disappoints me.

is this what they call bricked phone?

So I've got a Xperia X10 mini pro. It had a CM7.2 on it and some nAa kernel. I've downloded another rom and flash it. Everything ok.
When I wanted to reboot the phone after the flashing, CWM said something about some CWM error or something like that. I've ignored it and now the phone gets stuck at the booting process.(powers up, sony ericsson logo apears and nothing happens). If I put the battery in, it sometimes powers up by himself. I can't get in flashmode(back key, menu key...none of them works). Windows recognises something like SEMC bla bla.. I already have a rooted, flashed Xperia Neo so I'm not exacly a noobie, but I'm a noobie at x10.
So, any thoughts? Thanx alot!

You need to flash the kernel appropriate to the ROM.
You are on Stock kernel, and not some nAa one, so your last ROM had CWM (or xrecovery) included. This is not included in ROMS that run on nAa kernel because the nAa kernel has got it built-in. That's why it disappeared when you installed a new ROM, now find the kernel that belongs to it.
I can't flash any kernel, any rom or anything because the phone can't get connected to PC, no flashmode, no nothing. The led isn't blinking or anything not even when I connect the charger.

If you take out the battery it works sometimes you say, so take out your battery, f it powers up and gets stuck on the SE Logo, connect it to your pc, press power and home buttons together to get a hard reboot, as soon as the screen goes black, press the back-button to get into flashmode. ofcourse make sure your software is asking for flashmode before you do all that.
what I mean by powering up by himself is that it acts like I'm powering it up but it still get's stuck at se logo. I'll try the hard reboot thingie.
PLEASE try this.
remove your battery.
use flashtool to flash the 2.1 firmware of SE. or use SEUS.
connect your phone to the PC and be ready for flash mode.
hold the back button.
then insert the battery while holding the back button.
it will go to flashmode.
then start flashing the firmware.
afterwards you will be reverted to 2.1 eclair.
connect to usb debug
then root your phone using flashtool.
unlock the bootloader using s1tool.
flash the nAa kernel using flashtool.
put the zipROM on your SDcard.
enter the cwm recovery.
wipe data/cache/dalvik cache then flash the rom.
if you encounter an error on flashing the rom e.g(you experience flashing in just a very short time, then the rom is not flashed) format your SDcard then redo the flashing.
I hope this helps.
PS. on some cases, when your phone is bricked. you can directly flash the nAa kernel then flash the rom.

How old is your X10minipro? I'm asking this because of your LED notif lights are not working. you maybe need to read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935124
I after some research I supose I've deleted the recovery( xrecovery area). For those who say to press any combination of keys it doesn't work.
I got the phone in service, they said it needs flash but the gay phone wont comunicate with the pc so they didn't promise anything. I will return with news.

Yes, I told you that you removed xrecovery, because it was included in the ROM that used your stock kernel. You then flashed a ROM that needs a custom kernel, and it is included in the kernel then, so not in the ROM anymore. That's why you lost it. but that has nothing to do with flashmode however
thats the reason I've got it to service. Something wrong with hardware or boot area preventing the phone getting into flashmode( I suppose)...
Thanks
thanks for the thread now I able to do more than just rooting more save
The X10 mini is up and running. He had recovery and not a CWM(as I have now).
The problems was with the USB port, and it still is but I/ve managed to get it connected with Flashtool after removing and putting back the battery while holding he back key .
After 2 service shops and 2 weeks of waiting they both said to me "There is a comunication problem with the phone. Sorry!"
So, if anyone has problems like mine, they should get their usb port changed(5-10Euros) or try for as much as they need to get the phone connected( I tryied for almost 1 hour to get the green led and another half hour to get a stable connection as it whould get in flashmode but not being recognized in flashtools PS: changing the position of the data cable by standing up or down/more to the left or more to the right helps ).
Thank you all for the feedbacks!!
