Okay, so, ive never had problems with flashing things with flashtool until recently. My phone dosent stay in flashmode for more than 30 seconds and I frequently get flashing errors whenever my phone does stay in flashmode. Its getting really fustrating and I dont know if its the phone, computer or flashtool thats the problem.

Sounds like the phone's USB port?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
It mounts perfectly fine and easily transfers stuff to and from the phone. its just flashmode that it dosent want to stay connected.
it might be ur computer anti-virus stuff or like firewall thing, try turn it off and flash it again. like my case, it did happen before, i thought i brick my lovely x10i, but somehow i figure out, it is nothing to do with the software, just because my usb port suddenly not working in the middle of flashing process. u can try restart ur pc, then everything should be ok. though they recommend not to close the flash tool if not completed the process yet.
I dont have antivirus. At all.

I had an issue where it kept aborting my flashes.
I fixed this by hitting flash first, and THEN connecting my phone (When i had it already plugged in in Flash mode, it aborted it).
Allright. Ill try this in the morning.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
okay, so that didnt work at all. it did the same thing as before. it starts the flashing sequence then it immediately aborts flashing and my phone is out of flash mode. wtf.
Can anyone help?

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:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AZ_10cvd9k
first of all let me say that i've don a lot of searching before posting this, and i know it seems pretty long but please try to help me.
i got an x10i from a friend few days a go. the reason i got it (for free) was because it's not working and he didnt want to mess with it anymore.
when i first got it, if i tried to turn it on, the led would flash red. once in a while it got turned on, the sony ericsson text appeared for a few seconds and went off again. now if i try to turn it on the led would flash green for a sec, there is a vibrate but thats it. screen wont turn on at all.
i'f i try to connect it in the SE PC suite it detects it, but fails installing it. i've managed to enter the repair tool, but it failed a few times. however, the last time i tried to repair it said that it was repaired succesfully. still, not turning on.
tried to flash a firmware via flashtool, seems like its going well all the way but in the end it says "error flashing. aborted".
i'm pretty much out of ideas now, so ill really be grateful if anyone could help me.
a little update:
i've manged to flash a firmware via flashtool and it finished without any error, but still it won't turn. only the quick green flash and vibration.
any help will be appreciated.
ok, big update:
the phone is starting, i get past the boot animation and see the main screen (!) but after a sec or 2 the screen freezes and the phone shut down and won't start again unless i replace the battery?
please? anyone? im feeling so close yet so far away. could be a battery issue? when the screen starts i see that the battery is almost empty (connecting it to the charger won't help)
Yesterday i had the same problem ... i had to flash the hole firmware with X10Flash-2.1 and then updating with seus.. after this it restarts and it boot correctly
Not sure if u tried this, try having the phone plugged into the charger and let it charge for a while and then try booting it up again. Firmware wise, I would try a stable 2.1 or the freex10 beta 2.2 for a start to ensure that the software installed are stable ones. Hope this help.
try to fix it with seus...
nothing else willing to work as it seems there is something wrong a little deeper than flashable files...
This is I believe 1000th thread about this.
1. run seus
2. run PCC
3. run flashtool
Done.
SEUS seems to be the most effective way of repairing this.. Although you might also want to try pulling the battery before it freezes, it can help to recalibrate the battery.

thanks to everyone who replied.
i've downloaded and installed on the phone the version by SEUS, but i still cant turn on the phone.
in PC companion nothing is happening. when i go to the support section to get the new version, it just connecting with the phone and then tells to disconnect the phone and turn it on (which of course don't happen).
i've tried to run a repair in PC suite but it fails.
i've also tried to flash a firmware in flashtool, but it also fails.
any ideas?

If i am not wrong windows 32/64 bit does not affect how ur phone is gonna be installed since the installer that is downloaded is for the phone only and the installation process will only be done by the phone itself.
Not sure if u tried a different software such as xrecovery to install the OS into ur x10, since xrecovery with freex10beta4 works for almost all of the users in here, it should work for u if ur x10 has no hardware faults. If all still fails, it might be most probably your x10 hardware has failed or something along those lines.
It work for me, then with the 1.6 you can after that update with seus to 2.1update 1. If your phone doesn't work anymore you have nothing to lose.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
the original 1.6 is on this forum also... please make some commercials somewhere else... k thanks...
4 out of the 9 posts u made had something to do with this website... could you stop please?
@the win7 part... you could get problems if you dont got the right drivers but it would tell you or error out...
the only thing what you could do in my opinion that is is short the pins while battery has been removed
this should effect total emptied phone and hopefully also the memory.... maybe than you are capable to flash/start it...
now if this wont work.. im sorry but im out of ideas and u shud use it to make a new barn or house ;/ im sorry
Didn't know the 1.6 was on the forum, thanks for the cue. I won't talk about that anymore.

Don't give up yet. I know this problem. Uninstall Gordon's Gate. Install Sony Ericsson PC Companion (again if installed) and try using FlashTool again. This error on your phone means that the files are corrupted, maybe because a flash you tried was interuppeted unexpectedly. Your phone is not dead yet (probably your USB port has some problems and caused all this), it must be restorable.
Try and tell me if it worked.

No dont throw it just yet, I had almost the same. Ut unsure what caused it,it was 1st time flashing it, but spent 24hrs looking though solutions but it worked, similar to what lea sez...a new dl of sony comp and re-updated it using there latest u.d. Then used flashtool and reinstalled xrecovery with it as it stopped letting me open it..took a few trys but ws ok once sony companion recd my phone an reinstalled xrec.the update in sony comp I think wasnt in clear view its in the support stn..went back to stock 2.1.

thks for your time, itried all methods mentioneh in the posts but nothing work, for this reason i need help thks...
I installed a Rom that went wrong and had to use flashmode with sony's update program, not sure how it's called these days. I if you install that and plug it into the pc holding down the Back button, it recognizes it and will all you what you want to do. Select restore (or something similar). It'll restore it back to 2.3.3. After that you can install xRecovery again with flash tool.
Be aware that this worked for my semi bricked X10i, no guarantee it'll work for you ofcourse.......good luck

You only get that message when you plug in the phone too early
Update>repair>select x10i>then press continue etc>THEN connect phone.
And run stuff as administrator if you got w7.

Well folks, my first question thread (Actually first thread started by me, ever). So first of all, sorry for any possible mistakes.I'll try to be as concise as I can, however it's hard with a situation as complicated as mine. I searched all around, and didn't find a case like this one. Well, I have this x10a, and after upgrading it to 2.1, it never booted again. SEUS reported a successful flash. It made it once to the homescreen,but rebooted soon after. Twice it stuck on the SE logo, now I only get the flashing red led. Phone charges the battery, and even with its own battery, charged either internally or with external charger, or other battery, it fails to boot. I can get to flashmode, but it seems to be stuck there. Sometimes it enters flashmode without pressing the back button However, it disconnects while flashtool or SEUS are trying to flash it. It flashes part of the .FTF and fails... I am no noob at this, and I've been pulling my hair over this phone for some 2 weeks...PC Companion recognizes it as a quite generic "Sony Ericsson Phone", and fails to start restoring it.
Help one desperate dude, please.
Thanks in advance

My phone is fully stock. Bootloader and ROM are (were?) the factory-installed ones.I didn't even get to root the thing! Tried tons of different FTFs already. Could it be my PC, maybe? I don't have another machine where to test. I can enter flashmode removing and reinserting battery, but phone fails to flash. SEUS once flashed it nearly until the end, but failed at around 90%...What makes me wonder what happened is the fact that the phone was bricked by an official update!
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
was something more to do with my laptop environment than the phone. Because the Wotan client came with it's own driver, which my device loaded and used when I connected it holding the back button, this seemed to make the phone stay in flash mode when connected.
From this experience I don't think holding the back button puts an X10 into flash mode, it merely asks the host 'can I be in flash mode?' and either the host says yes or no.
In the post i linked so i supposw it can be driver related.
An in that post it got it to STAY in flash mode ... try looking for drivers on seus webpage

1 more thing i found
- While this process is running, please don't disconnect your phone from PC. If you disconnect the phone or the battery power is dropped then the process will be interrupted..... causing your phone unbootable!!
But don't worry because you can repeat the step above to re-flash your phone until the process complete.
so let the phone charge for about an hour or two to make sure if you can not check its status
hope you get it running again!
Well, I left it charging. It won't get worse, since its dead as a brick already. When I arrive home i'll finish flashing LG O2X, then i'll give the x10 some attention.
