I was hoping someone could be of help. I have an old SE X10 that I was going to give to a friend. I had an old wolfbreak rom on it. Xrecovery etc The bootloader is locked, but I am having some serious problems getting flashtool to do anything with the phone. So I decided to go into recovery and wipe etc. Now it wont boot and flashtool doesnt seem to wanna do anything either. Anyone have any advice on how to get my device back up and running?
Tried running update service to reset, I can get it to try, but it keeps saying im on the latest software. I really have no clue what to do with flashtool just sitting at preparing files for flashing, forever
can u go to xrecovery..???
If yes,then put a ROM on SD card and flash it again.
Nope, the back button does nothing @ sony logo. Ahhh frustrating!

In SEUS or PCCompanion even when it says you are on the latest software there is an option to "update anyway" or "repair"

Plug your phone into the computer and reflash with SEUS. I believe thats your only choice now.....well that and the flashtool.
yup...trying to use the flashtool now...downloading the latest one so hopefully can use a generic rom / install the xrecovery via flashtool first...
but i am still downloading it....bloody connection is so slow here...
Thanks!
Thankfully, you can't actually brick this phone unless it has real hardware failure. All you gotta do is remove the battery (to get it to turn off), then put it back in like 30 seconds later, hold the back button while plugging in usb, then you are in flash mode to install whatever rom you'd like with seus or flashtool
it's alive!!! ahahahahaha...thanks!
so this means it is QUITE the unbrickable!!
unbrickable x10... until u stomp on it .... hahahahaha
I tried flashing the new CM7 ROM (cheers J) and I turned it on after backing up, wiping and flashing absolutely everything I had to. It went through the normal startup and then after the "Sony Ericsson" logo it said at the top of the screen "Loading custom kernel. Bye!" It then showed the CM7 logo and spent around 5 minutes booting up. I then got the WLOD and my phone just died really ever since then. Every time I turn it on, even when plugging it into the charger, I get a vibration and then the screen gets stuck on the "Sony Ericsson" page and won't change (I left it for 5 hours like that and it didn't change. Also, no matter how much I spam the back button, it will not enter xRecovery. I am slightly worried as I am meant to be going abroad this Wednesday and will definately need it then. Can anyone help me?

SEUS won't recognize my phone... I got it sorted by reflashing the original 2.1 from SE and then rerooting and reflashing xRec so now its practically back to normal.

I'm back to my old ROM (coincidently also from Rendeiro) and yeah cheers. My SEUS doesn't come up with a repair option, I only have "update". Anyway I've given up on that and am now flashing CM 7.0.3 coz it seems way more stable and from what I've heard there's no getting WLOD with it so far... so yeah cheers guys

haha hello mate...long time no see....
im still around as usual...helping what i can...
I may have posted in the wrong section and before you say there are topics covering this ive tried everything and im at my wits end!
I had a custom 2.2 ROM loaded on my Xperia for months but due to battery life issues i decided to upgrade to 2.3 (Wolf's) without doing much research.. Had i learnt that i needed to upgrade xRecovery to the latest release i wouldnt be in this dilemma.
I did the usual stuff when loading a new ROM but when loading the 2.3.3 ROM it failed.
Now when the phone starts up i get nothing but the SE logo!
Ive tried reflashing.
Ive tried using SEUS/PCC to update my phone - Which to no avail will the program recognize my phone for longer than 10 seconds.
Ive also tried SeTool2 and cant get my head around that.
If anyone has a fast easy fix for an idiot like me please point me in the right direction!
Should also add that i cant access xRecovery.
I am not trying to highjack this post but i am in the same position my phone is stuck in a loop on the black screen with the se logo.Flash tool or the se update service "sees" it for about 10 seconds not long enough to do anything.Please can anybody help?
A quick update i have sorted it i left it on se update and some how it went in to repair mode and i now have a working x10 again.The se repair didnt seem to be doing anything it just said please wait but i switched it on and it worked now i have to root it again lol
I think you should flash stock ROM 2.1 via flashtool, root and flash Xcr. Afterwards, you can follow the WOLF's instructions to flast TW ROM. Remember flash baseband .71
So i tried those things and still havn't gotten anywhere!
I cant flash the only thing i can do with flashtool is change the baseband and thats not very helpful to me atm!
I just wish there was an easy fix but apparently there isnt

Read Wolf's thread!!!
You HAVE to change the baseband, otherwise it won't work! You need baseband .71, which is included in the flashtool package he says to use...

First of all sorry for not replying sooner as i have been very busy, i have to agree with hr7 i used the Sony Ericsson PC Companion and clicked on repair
Okay, I was told to go here since people on AndroidForums.com had no clue on what to do.
Okay, here are my problems -
I received this Android from my mom and it was running Android 2.1. When I first got it, I turned it on without charging it. It booted up, came to the lockscreen, then about a second later turned off and now refuses to boot. I have tried flashing it with generic Android 2.1 and Stock ATT Android 2.1. But it refuses to do nothing but flashes a green light and vibrates. But that all it does. And PC Companion, SEUS, FlashTool have done nothing! So what do I do now? It accepts Flashes and restores, but it's like the Boot Files are corrupted. And I cannot JTAG, so is there any other options?
Thanks in Advanced,
NetworkLabs

No, because I charged it all night and tried to turn it on with no success. So that isn't the problem...
Flash 2.3 firmware then do root,recovery(just in case you don't have it) and a kernel.

My only fear is after restore/flash to 2.3, it will most likely sit there forever. The screen doesn't even light up! So if is to happen, what do I do?

I had quite the similar issue with my x10i. One day it just decided to stop working completely. No lights no nothing, tried everything, just dead. So I contacted SE and they said they could do nothing if the software had been tampered with, no matter how much I assured them if was a hardware related fault.. So I went to my carrier and they sent me to a phone repairing company (Fonemenders here in Ireland), who try fix the phone themselves by getting parts in from the manufacturers. If they deem your phone irreparable they will get you a new replacement. This is exactly what happened me. So the other day I received an email saying that seeing as my x10 couldn't be fixed, I'd be receiving a Sony Arc as a replacement! So i'm happily waiting for the Arc to get here while I use my moms old x8.
So my best advice if nothing is working, go to your carrier and hopefully they can get you through to a phone repairing place, and I wish you as good luck as my own
Well, I cannot replace the Phone since I am not really using it as a Phone. It will not be activated, it's just to mess around with. And I really don't want to buy a Samsung Galaxy Player just so I don't have to deal with this. So I'm going to try the Stock ROM now and see if it works. Do I have to wait for boot up or something?
Try to flash with SE Companion. It will work.
Well, I restored using SEUS because it's the only one that recognized the phone, other than FlashTool. After it restored, it said Unplug the phone and wait for first time. It will take a while. So I am currently doing that. Hope it turns on!
Well, I've restored it and it still sits here. What's next?
I am going to try to flash it using s1tool and see if that helps. Also, can someone please respond with what they think is wrong?
Okay, here's another question - In order to load the firmware you told me, does my Bootloader have to be UNLOCKED? If so, how do I do that without ROOT... Because I cannot do anything with the Phone.

Nooo to flash a stock firmware you don't need unlocked bootloader
sent from my x10 using xda premium
Well, it won't let it. It either doesn't recognize the device or it returns a error... =/
I cannot flash the firmware that you suggested! It get's to system.sin and then aborts with no error information...
Any additional help?

I have a question for you... is the phone rooted ? If not then try following
1) start your PC companion and select update software
2) if software say, your phone is up to date then use here will be repair option you need to select it.
3) once you select repair it will download stock GB 2.3.3 and after download it will ask you to plug you phone in flash mode
4) remove phones battery and connect the phone to your laptop.
5) now place the battery back while holding down the back button (3rd button from left) { this step is important as this will get your phone into flash mode.
6) above steps should get your phone back onto stock unrooted ROM...
if you want then use flash tool to root it again but be careful with kernels and bootloader
Set from my Transforer TF101 using xda app-developers app
Well, I think I have tried that and it still won't boot. But I will try again. (PS - Sorry for this old thread, but I just needed a break on working on it! I am going to try again and see if it works!)
Hi guys. I have/had SE X10mini with miniCM7 installed and i decided to update this great ROM to the latest version.
I downloaded flashtool-0.9.10.1-windows.exe and E10_2.6.32.60-nAa-05.ftf. Installed the flashtool and drivers, connected my phone in flash mode, flashed it successfully, but when disconnected the phone and turn it on, i was able to see just the boot animation and the screen says CWM based recovery v6.... Just like the user here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217007
Ive tried to reflash the kernel again but unfortunately i chose X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf instead E10_2.6.32.60-nAa-05.ftf at the flashtool and after that the phone wont turn on, wont charge, wont reset (via PWR button and HOME button), wont nothing :crying:
Is there something to do about it or the phone is irreversible fcuked up?

A JTAG-machine is a box that can completely restore a bricked phone using connections in the phone itself, sort of the way Sony Ericsson does it in the factory.
Repair shops usually have one, but they're too expensive for individuals.
40 euros is not a bad deal for an x10mini I suppose, depending on how old it is, but you could still ask a repair shop what they charge for repairing yours
Aha, got it. I doubt the dealers here, in Bulgaria own this JTAG-machine, so they probably should send the phone to the nearest service center and I think this will cost me much than 40 EUR, so maybe ill just buy new one.
The guy from the advert sell full, non-used package - most ppl here dont know how to put custom ROM, and after the stock sucks they think the phone sucks, i dont complain about it
