hello everyone,
i started rooting my X10,
i followed the instructions in step one, started my x10 in flashmood, pressed enter and the screen began to show messages then when it finished i unpluged my mobile from usb cable and tried to start it but it did not start . i removed the battery , put it again and tried to start it but again it did not start
did everything but the mobile is not responding to anything
even i tried to install a new software but the pc does not identify the mobile anymore, please helpppppppppppppp
is my mobile hardware got burned or is there anything i can do, please
Normally the phone does not get burned! (i don't know anyone who bricked his phone)!
So please try to take out the battery for a least one minute and try to flash via SEUS on another USB-Port!
Regards
Bin4ry
i will try this solution,
thx Bin

by this , do u mean Sony Ericsson PC companion ? cuz the main problem is still the same, the pc does not identify that there is a mobile connected via USB port so how can i flash it?
firstly you dont mean rooting do you - rooting doesnt require flashing
you're installing bin4ry's 2.1 rom ?
you will need flash mode to do this so im sure you know how to do it.
if you still cant get the x10 to boot back up, make sure it's got plenty of charge then use SEUS to Repair it - you should still be able to get into flash mode to do this
all of this is not working, i think i might got a virus while using seus or the hardware got a problem
Hi guys!
I think I killed my phone. I upgraded to the GingerDx - V13 ROM, the first day it was working fine. Then the next day the screen is getting messed up until it won't start anymore. I tried using PC companion to hopefully factory reset it but (which it manages to finish the restoration) but now it is really not booting. It just lights up and then turns off. No SE logo or anything. Now I'm stuck as I don't know what to do next.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

PC companion is not good.. try flash with SEUS..!! Google it..u may find a download..
In order to restore a bricked mini pro:
-Launch SEUS (NOT PC Companion)
-When asked to plug the phone, press Home+Back (and keep them pressed) and then plug the phone on usb.
-Release Home and only keep the "back" button pressed.
If you followed the sequence properly, you will see the green led on and flashing process will start. If not, try it again.

I forgot to say that my LED is not working anymore (dunno why) I am trying to find SEUS installer. It seemed like you can't download it through SE's website.
EDIT:
WTF?! I dunno there's another XPERIA Mini Pro which is NOT X10 Mini Pro. I flashed my X10 Mini Pro with the Xperia Mini Pro ROM Maybe that's why it's not booting anymore.
I tried reflashing it with the correct X10 Mini Pro (via PC Companion) ROM but still no effect. Maybe I messed up the phone big time? I will try SEUS if I can find one. I hope it works.

Looks like a hard brick in my opinion if you flashed the wrong phone's firmware I suggest you send the phone back to SE for repair.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the link. I tried using it, still not working. I have a feeling that it really is hard bricked now. My next try will be using flashtool this time.
Edit:
Tried FlashTool, still dead. My phone needs an overhaul Too bad it's not under warranty anymore
try to unplug your batterie, wait ... plug the batterie, start into recovery ( clockmod ) and reflash with a new rom .
If your bootloader is lock, you cant brick your phone
How to rescue our bricked phone for x8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071
PS: Are you sure you have the good firmware ?
In the post of doixant ( x8 ), you can see : Latest kernel and latest baseband xxx015
Another exemple : MiniCM7 for X10 mini ( not pro ) : Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware / Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 due to kernel dependencies. This is automatically tested during the installation.
I guess, it's same for all custom rom

Do you have already use Flashtool ?
If your are under Vista or Win 7, you must disable the UAC ( User Account Control ) for flashtool works. Search in google, I m french and i've found lots of pages, but in french.

@OP
I'm sorry, but I really think your phone IS a hard brick now . I remember reading about a user that flashed a Galaxy S firmware onto his Galaxy S2, in the end he had to send his phone to the repair shop.
The same is probably true of your phone. I think you had better send it to the repair shop .
[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.

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 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)

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?

1. SEUS : Says ur phone is already update and show Xperia arc in backgroud. No update available
2. PC companion: Tried all the tricks to start w/o connecting n all still the phone is not detected.
3. Flashtool, tried flashing it with 0.6.8 and 0.2.9.1
4. I have also used other tools like superclick, root / unroot and S1 tool (no of them worked)
Now, nothing is working with few red blinks and gree light..

FIX!
I had the same issue when I was experimenting with ROMs and Recoverys, but not to worry, Sony PC Companion 2.1 does the trick!
Download PC Companion 2.1 from the Sony Mobile website
1. When you download and open it, click start under Support Zone
2. Click start under Phone Software Update
3. When the window saying that a phone could not be found appears, click repair phone
4. A windows like this will appear, click continue to proceed with the repair of the firmware
NOTE: All data that is placed on the phone memory will be wiped but any data saved on the memory card will be spared
5. After clicking continue, a window like so will appear. Tick the box and click next to continue with repair!
6. Sony PC Companion 2.1 will now prepare the computer for the firmware update
7. Now choose your phone model, in this case it should be the Xperia X10 (X10). Select the phone and click Next!
8. Follow the prompts to repair your phone!
GOOD LUCK!!
Always fails for me.
All process end in fail
There must be a file I need to rename or something....
tried everything now...
I have tried everything by now, here i have attached a attachment of error i get while repairing my phone through SEUS..
only option is box flash, but i think its kind of risky...
Fail fail fail..... i'm getting hopeless wif my X10
Hey,
I did some re-search and got to know that somehow my X10 flashes as So-01C in some systems, i.e. xperia arc, even while updating ..........
Anyone here, knows other ways to flash through box other than technician, coz these technicians are real idiot they can crap your phone in 10 seconds, so its better to crap it yourself...
"alternative to box flash, please ???"
Try this
Had the same problem once, when my phone would not start at all, all I had to do was connect it to the PC Companion (2.0), at first it wouldn't repair but after a certain amount of tries it did the trick,
First: Make sure all your drivers are installed, if they were installed there should be no problem.
If they were not, the computer cannot identify your phone, try installing some other x10's drivers (cause your's is bricked I assume) that might do the trick aswell.
Open PC Companion > Support Zone > Phone Software Update (Start) > Follow Instructions > Repair
It might take several tries to get it right
If this doesn't work try the latest flashtool, it should do the trick !!
There must be something you are not doing right, else SEUS/Flashtool should have worked like a charm.
see i get this reply, when updating x10..
I have tried this like thousands of times, installing roms and then removing them and repairing the phone, but this time it has gone over my head........
Hi all,
It seems my X10 mini pro is completely bricked.
Firstly I root my phone
after that I copied the xrecovery and made a restart, till then everything was rolling smoothly.
I backed up and reseted to factory settings. loaded the new update.zip and after the restart that was needed my phone briked
it's not a common brick. I can't use flashtools to recover it.
here is the problem that appears...
6/030/2013 18:30:20 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"

phone is not responding to any command. Plus it needs to be turned off if you wanna restore the backup you saved previously...when I try to flash it, phone turns ON
I read many guides in this forum to unbrick it but didn't find anything that suits to my occasion.
If any other detail is missing from my report please ask me to add it.
Sorry for my english
Thanks in advance.

Dont forget to pull of your battery for 4 seconds, for turn off your phone before connect your phone.

Press home and power buttons together, it will restart the phone, then start pressing the back-button repeatedly to get back into recovery and restore your previous rom from there. (Come to think of it, following my last paragraph below, you probably don't have recovery on your phone anymore, so, as Rempty mentioned above, repairing with SEUS or PC Companion would be the start to recover your phone to a usable state,.)
The error flashtool gave you is because you didn't unlock the bootloader and didn't change the kernel on your phone. It can't flash any non-sony kernel on a locked bootloader.
What is this 'update.zip' you're talking about? Most full roms have more informational names to distinguish between different zips. An update.zip is usually only for hotfixes to ROMS already flashed, and not a complete ROM.
Thanks a lot guys. I solve my problem with SEUS.
Phone completely formated.
Love you guys

i try the PC COMPANION but my phone did not detect it..
this is what i did to bring back life to my x10 mp.
Switch phone completely off then if not already running start pc companion. then this step really got to me because of the phone constantly restarting, to get pc companion to detect the phone, i pressed and held the back key down and connected the usb cable just like flashing a new kernel. pc companion then detected the phone as x10. doesnt matter. then start the update and you must do the same thing again to force update service to detect the phone and to give the option to repair. then once thats done follow the prompts through update service, it will then ask you what phone you have, choose x10 mini pro and update.its a long process but be patient and your phone will work again.
