x10 wont boot

Hi guys my brother has managed to royally mess his phone up. He rooted it when the first method came owt and uninstalled a bunch of stuf via titanium backup. Now he has decided to sell it so performed a factory reset on it. After doing this the phone would just hang on the sony ericson screen so he tried to reflash using seus but it would always give him installation failed message. So i tried flashing using bin4ry flashtool, which took 9 seconds to complete so something must of gone wrong as the phone will not boot at all and neither seus or pc companion or my pc will recognise it when trying to enter flash mode. Any help guys?

No problem.
If you're still having problems, I had the exact same problem your brother had, it would just hang on the "Sony Ericsson" screen. I followed the steps in this video and it helped me get back to 1.6:

[Q] [Really Need Help] Xperia Neo would not start, only shows "sony ericsson" :(

[Q] [Really Need Help] Xperia Neo would not start, only shows "sony ericsson" :(
Hi guys, I am new to this forum and a new smartphone user.
Last night I was updating my phone through PC companion, but the software dies half way for some unknown reason. Since then I could not turn on my phone.. It will only vibrates, shows "Sony Ericsson", and then an image of yellow triangle with an exclamation mark shows up, then it is turned off again. I tried charging, restarting my pc companion software to try to update my phone, but none of them work.
I saw some threads here and it seems that there are possible solutions, but because the terminology is quite strange to me I could not fully understand what I have to do What is a flashtool and SEUS? I tried to search them up on the net but the downloads seem to be unavailable?? I must be missing something here.
If anyone can help me with simple terminology I will really really appreciate it.. Thanks a lot!
Your phone's boot loader unlocked or not & if yes what method?(s1tool,official SE or setool2 paid) ? Here's a good tutorial about flashtool.

Hi,
This is my suggestion:
first download FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
Follow instructions (if u familiar with updating with sony ericsson pc companion, this u can do)
Simple, start FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick, click flash. Choose loader.sin on the right. Then click OK,
Turn of phone, hold in back button while connect phone with usb cable.
See its flashing, wait til its done, unplug phone,. try to boot up phone.
I am also a newbie, but this worked for me
pls give me a link to download SEUS, for xperia neo pls. pls help I am having the same problem pls help,

I don't think link is right mate, 404 page not found
Anyway @lilbunnyf if your phones boot loader is unlocked using s1tool method do not use seus or pc companion.As I read in forum this can brick your phone.Try flashtool.If you got a locked boot loader or patched one with setool2 then you can use pc companion(this thing saved my phone like 5-6 times now after kinda bricking it with roms kudos se for this xD)

Most likely the post #3. That should help.
I have the same problem...
but mine already unlock using s1tool, rooted using zergexploit and using cwm...
i wanted to install se tweak so i use cwm the installation is complete after rebooting my phone is bricked... so please... im begging help me...
i've tried using flashtool to reflash to stock but i cant get my phone connected... it seems i cant go to fastboot mode...
I managed to get stuck in a boot loop today. I have a locked bootloader and SEUS did the job, so I guess that is the best solution for the problem mentioned by OP.

Since you unlock it via s1tool, you should still be able to use SEUS.
Anw, why fastboot mode? Have you tried to connect it in flashmode?

Help debranding my Orange SK17i

Morning,
Can someone advise me the best way to debrand my orange phone?
I've made it sim free using wotanserver.
Then I flashed the generic firmware from the same site, it goes through the process until completion and tells me to reboot the phone.
When I do this it won't go past the screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle, and a picture of a phone. I then have to repair the phone using SEUS.
I just want to remove the orange start up logo and bloatware.
Please help
Have you unbricked your phone already or are you still stuck at the triangle with exclamation mark?
I've unbricked it using SEUS (twice!).
I may just root it and install a custom rom instead.

Use wotan client (search it on google) with the pone power off, push down volume button, while conect usb cable.
It's free...
Yeah wotan client debrands using generic update.
Personally think 0.62 has poor radio stack though.
Anyone have a good radio stack for 3uk for mini pro

Similar problem in my X10i since last 1 month
Hi,
I'm facing the same problem, only exception is even LOGO is missing...
Nothing works, just screen is dark black with no sign, only green light glows on pressing start button and occasional three red blinks, while charging.
I have used all good methods, SEUS (Update service); PC Companion; Flashtool (all versions); I have even flashed my phone using a box (technician did this for me)...
Nothing worked..even service centre guys refused to work on handset as there is no warranty..
I'm unable to use SEtool, as I could not find Test Point and how to attach them.
This is all started when i installed custom rom on my phone....
If it were me,Id try charging/replacing the battery.
You can even adapt a usb cable for charging and hook it up to the battery directly(when its still in the phone).
If it dont work then maybe faulty phone....

Is there any programme that will allow me to rectify this restart/exclamation fault ?
you can't brick an x10. you need to install sony pc companion on your computer and go into software update and hit repair phone. good luck!

Thanks but already tried that method, even with the phone restarting every several seconds, I hit repair and when it manages to succeed it results in ''no update available''

I think the mistake I made was failing to install recovery before I tried to install a new rom.
