No problem.
Untill you get to the stage where you are unlockling your bootloader you can never really break an x10.
Just make sure you have SEUS and/or pccompanion on your PC and you can always fix your phone.
if you have any problems, just PM me

Start from the begining again, attach in flash mode and try again.
If it doesnt work, use pccompanion to flash 2.3.3 stock FW and try again
how long should it take to reboot? thanks by the way, you sir are saving my life!

Dont worry about it rebooting, just attach it in flashmode and start again...
If that doesnt work just flash with pccompanion
no problem..I am here to help..
hey thanks mate, right, ive redone it, unplugged the device after kernel downgrade, but then it says that i need to turn on unknown sources and debugging... how do i turn those on if i cant get it to boot to the main screen? am i supposed to boot the phone after downgrade, turn those on, turn the phone off, then turn it on and plug the usb cable in immediately?
thanks so much.

No, flashtool always says that when it has finished an operation...just go onto the next step
13/051/2011 20:51:45 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
13/051/2011 20:51:45 - INFO - Then go to application settings
13/051/2011 20:51:45 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
the tut you sent me tells me that i should plug the device in as soon as it vibrates when turning it on, so which comes first? i have tried both methods and cannot seem to get around this sony ericsson boot screen...

yes thats correct...but you dont have to let the phone reboot...if i remember rightly i had to do that bit a couple of times to catch it right....
just follow the instructions from the thread and dont worry what the phone is doing...
like i say, if oyu think you have made a mistake then you can repair your phone with pccompanion to have another go.
I am about for another 10-15 minutes then i need to put my kids to bed...but dont worry, if you cant sort it now, i will be about tomorrow to help you, just send me a pm
ok great, so do i actually not boot the phone at all after it says unplug and reboot the device and turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging, do i wait and then turn it on and immediately plug in the usb cable? thanks. and thanks again for the help.
because the thing is no matter what i do, the flashtool box does nothing, and the phone will not boot, sticks on the bootscreen.

Take out the battery, put it back in and don't turn it on.
Use Sony Ericsson PC Companion and follow the onscreen instructions to restore your phone.
Also, YOU are the one with the problem, so if someone tries to help you don't be rude please.
Have tied to remove your batt?
hey guys think i have it fixed via update service thanks anyways

try using flashtool. directions are in the link.
U mentioned you have a x10i correct, then pick the firmware you want with the x10i with the latest baseband. if you still have questions, keep asking.
rooting is next if you go that route then, flashing ROMS, which are associated with a baseband
here is the link for flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Yeah dude, use flashtool.... just flash it back... tht worked for me... i bricked my phone once.... now its rollin again....

you could also just repair it using SEUS... depends if you want to root and install custom ROM's etc..

ok, i`ll try...
i can`t place my phone in Flashmode he gonna automatic to the Sony Ericsson logo...
What did i wrong?...
fire up SEUS, get to the bit where it say to connect your phone.
take the battery out for 10 seconds or so..
plug the micro USB cable into your phone only..
hold the back key (and keep it held until SEUS tells you to release it later in the process), push the battery back in
push the USB cable into your PC.
Should boot up into flash mode and SEUS will do it's thing!.
Done it before
Hi mate done it today since im new at rooting if you were trying to install a theme or rom, you might not have their firmware, if this is the case then you just from that Sony Ericsson screen keep pushing the Back or <-- key, this will boot you into xrecovery and just restore... if you havent made a back up, then you could try replace the rom you have back with the Se offical 2.1 rom which you can find in Android dev. and just launch it back with that... Hope this worked!!
Hi
I've just updated my x10mini using SEUS and I had app2sd.
I don't know why, but it does not start. It keeps reestarting after reaching the SE Logo screen.
I can't turn it off to try something because my battery is not accecible. Can Anyone help?

Thanks for your answer. But do you know if I turn my phone off this way and then conect to SEUS to reflash it again it will bring it back to live?
Because I didn't do anything wrong when I was updating my phone, I believe it happened because I had app2sd and deleted some native apps.
Thanks

Dude this things turn ur phone Off as well as when you use SEUS atleast u can reflash your ROM.....!!!!
Do sum steps as following to reflash Correctly-:
Don't plug the USB.....pls follow the STEPS!!!
1. Turn your phone off using this method.
2. Start SEUS on your PC.
3. Choose your phone model(x10 mini/pro),--> Next-->When it shows instructions press the back button and hold...while holding it,plug the USB to your dead phone and hold it till it shows stable green light and the process will be started.....
4. And OMG your ROM is now Reflashed....
Enjoy.....!!!!!
Thanks for your attention. My problem is now solved.
Unfortunately I didn't do as said in the first comment of the toppic, by pulling of the little rubber around the cammera, but as said in the other posts along the thread, by pressing menu button + on/off button + back button. It really worked.
Thanks fot sending me that thread anyway.
Have a nice day.
hi guys,
I'm new to this and I probably made the most stupid thing!
No one is to blame but me.
I wanted to root my xperia U with software version 6.1.1.c.1.10.
After hours of searching and applying all these information in order to unlock the boot loader and installing adb drivers, fastboot etc., I decided to apply the kernel that I've found to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t1688147
Since then I cannot make my phone boot again. All I get is SONY and a blue light that goes away after a while, but SONY stays there forever.
So have I complete destroyed my phone? Should I see if its flying through out the window? or is there a chance for restoring it?
Thank you for your time.

Hello there,
I am having a problem with my Xperia X10a.
Was using ferraKernal v25 with ferrarom. Everything was working fine until yesterday.
PROBLEM: When i try to power my phone on, it vibrates for a short time with a single blink of green but the phone wont turn on.
SOLUTION TRIED:
1. Battery ok.
2. Flashtool 0.2.9 gb ready (flashing aborted)
3. Flashtool 0.9.18 (gets stuck at Processing of loader_unlocked.sin finished.)
4. pc companion (This device has no updates)
Below is the screenshot from flashtool.
Is there anyway to solve this problem. ?
Thank you.

Have you tried, or are you able to get into recovery? If so , maybe you can do a backup ( if there's anything to backup ) and then reflash the rom. Or if you already have a backup, do a restore.

To get into recovery you need to press the power button , then continually press the back button, ( don't hold it but keep pressing on off on off for about 30 seconds ). Only with the phone and battery, no USB cable! If you don't have any success with recovery you may need to flash a stock firmware.
Did you root the phone or purchase it already rooted? Do you know what firmware was on the phone before it was rooted?

Well..as i opened the thread with some statements above mate..
I was already using a Feravolt rom and kernel..And i rooted it and then flashed.
And obviously i know what/how to get into recovery.
But the thing is its not working without any good reason...
Situation like this happened to me before..
i was able to sues it then with stock..
But nothing seems to work now.
I guess i am not worth the seniors attention in here.
I shouldnt have opened the thread at the first place
but Hey, thanks for at least trying to help
Can you do a small test for me? I would like you to put the entire phone into a freezer ( not fridge ) for ten minutes, then take it out and see if it will power up. Will not harm the phone, I do it with an HD2.

still i will give it a shot..its dead anyway..
