Unhappy [Q] flashtool problem
Please help, My x10i became a brick. I could not start up the phone, I am now stuck at the SE logo for hours ...
I upgraded the phone to 2.3.3 stock SE then I tried to root the phone using a flashtool 0.2.9.1 by azuzu from this website:
http://www.xperiax10.net/2011/09/08/root-your-gingerbread-xperia-x10-tutorial/
I installed Gordon Gate driver 2.2.0.1 before following this guide. Then I followed every steps on this guide and it seems good until I get to step 6 (Upgrade Kernel) I couldn't upgrade and it gives me an error message.
Like this... I saved a screenshot here ...
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10vaOKKuc2c8Tr8QFonD5pd_9Zq86yGa-ldiFXN-eKTs/edit?hl=en_US
Please help me un-brick it... much appreciate for your help....
I had the same error in my X10... would aprecciate to know the solution too...
Update Service
I finally put this phone back alive using Sony update Service from here:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ds/subject/updateservice/1.349192?cc=gb&lc=en
download and install on a pc. This update is pretty stable.
Now I just need to find another way to root the phone...
did u unbrick it using SEUS once u unbrick it try rooting again using flashtool method again !!
I'll try
I'm going to try again with the most updated flashtool later... hope it will work, but I have no faith in it because of my bad experience

Try to restore option in SEUS/PC Companion, and update it from there.
If that doesn't work, try installing

Hey everyone,
my broderinlaw updated from official 2.1 to official 2.3 when the PC Campinion freezed. I was at the 2/3 of the process. We would like to enter the recovery and restart the update.
How can we enter the reovery? Or do you have any other idea?
thx,
lj
Recovery? What is it? Run PC Companion or SEUS again, I don't know what is Recovery.

of course you can't enter xrecovery now.try angin with PC companion
or you can use flashtool
You will have to use the repair guide in Sony-Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) or PC Companion. There is no other way if your installation failed halfway through...
There is a brief guid on this over at S-E X10 support site:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...oretheprocessfinishedts/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
That should get you back up and running. When done I suggest you take a look at this XDA-post, if you want to root your phone and enable the "proper" recovery mode:

Ps.
Read that post carefully, several times and make sure you know hat you are doing before flashing anything!

Wotan server is good if you have rock solid internet.. if your internet always behave inconsistently you need ti use flashtool.

Hi everyone!
So I was trying to update my X10 from a CM7 mod to M&M`S MiUI 2.3.9, but when I tried to flash the kernel necessary for it, Flashtool wouldn't install it due to an error (12/055/2012 14:55:06 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed").
I didn't think anything of it, and decided to try installing the ROM anyways because I'm retarded. Now my phone won't get past the Sony Ericsson logo when booted, I can't flash anything with Flashtool because it just comes up with that error again, and PC Companion and Update Service won't repair it.
ANY and ALL help will be appreciated. Thank you!
Do u not meed to unlock bootloader for that Rom?
Sent from my X10 using XDA
Yeah, I didn't really read through everything. xD
Again, I'm retarded.
But is there any way of fixing this?
I would try this first.....in case youve not been using properly before.

I did that, and it tells me that there is no software available for my phone yet.
So you are doing everything exactly as it says in the guide,and your saying that when you connect the phone in step 8,it hits you with no new software available.
Im asking because
1.Its always worked for me(about 10 times without any problem)
2.People connect their phone too early when using pc companion
If it doesnt help,you can try an earlier version of flashtool
I did it step by step and I'm using version 0.6.7.0 right now because I can't find any links to the newest version. :/
I flashed 'Feralab bulletproof rom v32.1'
Now it's bricked at sony ericson screen.
Flashtool wont detect it,nor will sony pc companion (both did prior to the error), and (Seus) doesnt even have x10 option.
Please help.
It's not even myphone and I was lead to believe its easy and you 'can't brick this phone.
The whole things been a nightmare.
Some help would be great ?
it took me days to be able to even post in parts of this website.
On seus just choose another phone. Like xperia z or something. It should recognize it as x10. Then follow the instructions. Is your bootloader unlocked?
im having the same issue here
we need help from the experts!
Pc companion says there is no software available for this phone... I'm stuck!
EDIT: Never Mind, Follow this instructions to flash 2.3 Gingerbread on your device and you should do fine
