[Q] Help Unbrick - Normal methods don't work - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tried to flash dual touch onto my x10i using flash tool and it said it was successful. When it rebooted, phone was stuck on SE animation. Tried SEUS which saved me last time, but the phone turns on halfway by itself so it wont work. Flashtool doesn't work as well!
Also, the phone keeps turning on by itself until i take the batteries out (Stuck on SE logo). Only when it seems to run out of battery does it start having the red light of death
Phone was on T.E.A.M rom
Help please, what can i do?

When its not successfull with sesus, means ur battery charging is low less than 40..
So use flashtool, get Generic version of 2.3.3 n flash it by taking battery n pressing back button...

When i try to use flashtool, it has red light of death for the whole time, and nothing works. If not, it turns on halfway and then it tells me to connect my phone which also doesn't work.

I tried this but it doesn't connect to flashtool. :S
It just tells me to turn off and press the back button. And when i take battery out and put back in, there is red light. Until a random period of time when on the laptop, it turns on and goes onto SE sign

Red long led when charging means it's charging, but the battery is still flat.
Leave it for around 2 hours you should see an orange/green led lit.
After having your handset ready for flashing, just pop flashtool up and start restoring.

Flashtool won't read my phone, it just says "Please flash your device in flash mode."
I know the battery was fully charged as well because i used my friends phone, (Also X10).
Still can't access XRecovery as well
Fixed the Phone
I was able to fix the phone. Turned off the phone and took out the SIM card and while the sim card was out, i was able to get the phone to connect to the laptop. Tried PC companion to repair phone but it failed, so i immediately went to Flashtool and flashed the generic rom and it worked YAY
Thanks everyone for all your help

[Q] Flashmode Problem

Hey, I am running Free X10, and I recently re-flashed Bin4ry's "Dualtouch for all roms" file because it was working incorrectly. Now, that works, but when my X10 is turned off and I plug it in, it goes into Flash Mode for a few seconds before going into charge mode. It does this automatically, without me holding the "back" button, and it even does it when I use the wall socket. Any ideas as to what might be causing this and how to fix it?
Any suggestions/thoughts appreciated.
P.S. The phone works fine otherwise.
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, please move accordingly if so. Thanks

have u made a backup before flashing dual touch...??
Simply reflash complete firmware.
1. wrong forum.
2. it is not going into flash mode. just because the green led comes on does not mean it's in flash mode....it is just showing that there is power to the phone..It does this by turning on the led for a second since it can't just show a notification on the screen if it's powered off.

It never really did that before. It would simply stay blank, then come up with the orange LED and the Battery charging icon. Also, it takes longer to get to the charge mode because of this. Reboots when plugged in also has this happen.
Edit: No backup before reflash of dualtouch because it doesn't mess with any user data, its more of a plugin. Full article Here
yo ive had the same problem forever.. Sorry to say it but you can't get rid of it.. Well I can't at least.. Flashing new firmware..repairing withpc companion etc..
lol..
You can even take battery out while its in "flashmode" Right?
And it still stays green...
lmao..
Anyways if you figure out the solution...... Pm me please..
Best of luck ..

Can't even flash
I have a somewhat similar problem. When I try to plug the phone into flash mode, the green light goes on for 9 or 10 seconds, then goes into charging mode. I'm basically stuck with what I have. I can't flash to repair, and when Gingerbread comes in July I won't be able to flash into that I hope you find a solution cause this is killin' me.
If the loader is not sent within a certain amount of time it will either go to charge mode or power on.
Besides, when gingerbread comes out for it, do a factory reset, and then use the SEUS like you would.

You can not just put your phone into flash mode without a separate app to tell your phone to be in flash mode...like seus or flashtool.
If you're using flashtool you must choose a file to flash for it to tell your phone "get ready to go to flash mode" If you aren't prompted by either app to put it in flash mode you won't be able to do it.
If flashtool doesn't work for you, use seus and go through the steps until your phone is in flash mode....once the green led is on & stays on you're in flash mode and you can close seus, then continue to use flashtool to flash your files.

same problem

xperia x10a not boot or power on, just continuously vibrating.

hi!! my xperia x10a not boot or power on after flashing. the battery charge was poor during flashing and now the phone doesn't boot up, when i push the power key the phone vibrate but no power on and then the phone vibrate continuosly.
i charged the battery and refhlasing the phone using flashtool but nothing at all.
what can i do?
need help please!!
What did you flash to it exactly? Try flashing the original firmware.
i flashed the phone because when i update from 1.6 to 2.1 the phone restarted it self everytime! i need to get an externar charger to charge the battery before reflashing to the original firmware.
Flash back a 2.1 or 2.3.3 firmware, see if it helps, if it is atleast coming on a bit, do a repair via SE. Do check the files you're using and make sure they're legit before flashing them to your phone.

I had the same problem.
Infact what I found is that charging itself need the firmware to be properly installed.
You have 2 ways to fix the problem.
First is that find a frnd who have an x10 and put ur phone battery into his and charge it for sometime.
Second is open flashtool, remove battery from ur phone, then connect the USB cable to PC and ur phone, and then press the back button and hold it and then insert the battery.
U will see the green light (means the phone is in flash mode) and also ur flashtool should be detecting the phone.
Now keep the phone like that for atleast 30 mins.
When phone is in flash mode, it actually charges the battery. (thats what I did).
After atleast 30 mins, remove the phone and check if its switching on.
All the best,
Also, while ur flashing a new ROM, always make sure that u wipe ur battery stats...
i charged the battery and flash the phone with flashtool to 2.1 and 2.3.3 but still the same problem.
by the way, the green light power on even without hold the back button, is like always be in flash mode.

i got the same problem as you. When i press on/off button, it vibrates and green led flashes once, but then nothing more happends.
I tried to put in it flash mode, but it bootloops when i do that.
this is exact my phone problem, but i can't find any solution!
do you have any sugestion?

Sony Xperia P Hard Brick

Hello guys.This is my problem with Xperia P.I tried to update CWM from 6.0.1.2 to 6.0.3.0 in hope that I will get rid of that status error 7 when trying to install CM 11.Ok so what I did:i downloaded an update for CWM in zip format,i transferred the zip files to my xperia p internal storage then disconnected the phone from pc,then I booted the phone In CWM and from there I tried to update CWM by selectin install from zip sd card the zip archive.It said It was succesfull then asked for reboot and that was.After that the phone gone dead,no response from it even when I tried to power it on or to reset it by key combinations nothing worked.Even when I plugged it on charger nothing or in my pc usb.So when this happened my phone was rooted/unlocked bootloader and running latest JB build 6.1.2.A.100.So what I tried so far:i plugged it in wall charger for 6+ hours in hope I will get a life sign from it and nothing.Then I tried to disconnect its battery,i know its non removable but it has a cord attached that can be detached and I did it for about 5 mins.After that I reconnect the battery and plugged it in.Well I got a solid red led on it and I thought oh well it seems it worked but after exactly 15mins the red led goes out and nothing happens after it.At the moment I am writing this the phone already is dead by 24 hrs+.And yea I tried to connect it in flash mode for flashtool but not a sign at all.My pc doesn't detects it.So is there any hope left for my phone?If so please give more solutions.Oh and another thing it seems that after the red light goes off after 15 mins and I unplug it from charger and reconnect it the red led comes again and the process can be repeated.So should I try this way to charge it until it has enough power to do some responses?

if ur bootloader wasn't unlocked use SUS or sony pc suite to recover ur pc .... nd correct title , this isnt hard brick , i think u flashed a kernel from a different device ... if bootloader was unlocked then flash stock ftf using flashtool.. and flashtool works only in windows 7 and below ... making it work in windows 8 is tedious turn off ur phone and then hold volume down button then connect usb cable if green led lights ,that is flashmode

I am running Windows 7 and the bootloader is unlocked.Also I cant use flashtool or any software from pc because the phone it doesn't get detected.But if I plugged it on pc USB it does give a red light for exactly 14 mins then the red led goes off.Also any key pressing or key combinations doesn't help as I don't get any response from phone.So I am really sure its hard brick.Only sign from it is the red led that goes off after 14 mins.
So anymore ideas?Does my phone was hard resetted after I detached the battery for 5 mins and then reattached it?Because before this I didn't got the red led.And also should I try to recharge my phone by pluggin in it in charger wait 14 mins till red led gets off then repeat this process?

And how I am supposed to turn phone off when I get no sign from it when I am pressing volume or power keys.The only sign I get is the red led that after 14 mins goes off.Yea I flashed/updated a wrong CWM for my phone.And how that could screw my phone that bad I don't have any idea.
Just remove the battery chord from the battery (not the charger chord). This means, your phone is in turn off mode. Then reconnect it. Then try those flashmode combinations.
And for any further status 7 issues refer to my guide. Link is in my signature

when red led isnt lit up and ur phone isnt connected to either charger or pc then it means its off ..... then hold only volume down button (u won't get any response right now) then attach usb cable while holding volume down ... green led will definitely light up and then flash stock ftf

Bro, then this may be a hard brick. Try some hardbrick procedures. Or take your device to some local shops. They have a flashing device, which flashes stock firmware. Service centres will cost u very much.

its not hard brick ... in hard brick you don't even get to see the red led ..... this is a basic soft brick because he flashed incompatible kernel which failed bootloader test and hence he is getting this red led .... hard brick = phone becomes paperweight with no led or anything working ....... even charging which does in his case ....... he is just unable to turn on flashmode , (typical case with new users), even i also flashed wrong kernel on my xgo (u cannot even remove battery in that) , i just waited for red led to shut down then holding volume down and then plugging in usb i was able to get flashmode

first remove battery cable for 3-5 mins then reconnect it ...... don't touch the power button ... hold the volume button down.. while holding it down insert usb cable .... (give it 2-6 seconds and DONT LEAVE THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON )the led should now turn on and glow green (flashmode enabled , u shud know the rest i think) don't check if pc detecting or not just check LED green or not first

if you can try using those "butterfly chargers" , the ones which directly charge battery..... then try this approach cuz flashmode needs 30% battery minimum to run , 75% is recommended

Xperia P wont boot and if cable is plugged and it doesnt even charge

Hello to all!!!
I have a problem with my XPERIA P(not rooted or unlocked), it wont boot if the cable is on the phone(pc or wall charger) and doesent even charge. When tryong to boot it shows only the SONY logo, not even xperia(which comes right after sony).
Tried getting into flash mode or fastboot mode, but it is the same thing.
If i switch on my phone with no cable plugged it starts normally.
When this happened i had no battery at all. After searching the web i found a guide to open my phone and remove the battery connector. After removing it and plugging back again it started charging. Now it wont charge anymore that way.
EDIT: Mac wont recognize it anymore(mac bridge, flashtool, adb)
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks!

Try flashing the phone with stock ftf file via flash tool , you can find plenty of how to videos for that on internet . Your phone will be fine I guess
Search "Your phone model " "version" "stock ftf" download and flash it
Hit thanks if helped

The problem is my phone wont stay in flash mode. It shows up the green led just for a sec and then tries too boot up normaly(green led turns red and shows sony logo) then it shuts down again...
Same for fastboot mode (blue led for 1 sec then again red).
Any idea?
Thanx in advance
@aserreqi
The disconnection issue is driver related. Use windows 7/xp (friends computer) install flashtool and then install the driver pack located in it. Then flash stock ftf.
Before this charge your phone overnight.

I will try again with windows if can get to charge it any more, because now it is not giving any sign of life

I had similar kind of issue , phones doesnt stay in flash mode when it should but I managed to get into fastboot mode , IT DID STAY THERE for me and I flashed some other kernel to make it work for few mins as I only wanted flashmode to work which it did . Try charging your phone for 2 hours and grab any kernel which is said to be fine with your phone , either ways you only need flashmode to work. If fastboot is also disconecting even after you have charged your phone umm DRIVERS DRIVERS !
Make sure you have all the drivers installed I always use flashtool, nothing else to flash

I have charged my phone now for 3 hours. The only way i get to charge now is discharging the battery to 0. I have to put it on charge(wall charger) pull off the connector of the battery and then put it again on.
If the phone is a little charged and i turn it on it wont charge any more. No charger or pc works.
I tried again the procedure of getting into fastboot or flash mode, but still nothing happens.
Green or blue led for a sec then tries to boot again.
I forgot to mention that the phone works like normal when not in charge, it boots normally and everything works fine...
P.S. the drivers are installed. I installed them again and again.
Thanx for your help anyway!!

I have charged my phone now for 3 hours. The only way i get to charge now is discharging the battery to 0. I have to put it on charge(wall charger) pull off the connector of the battery and then put it again on.
If the phone is a little charged and i turn it on it wont charge any more. No charger or pc works.
I tried again the procedure of getting into fastboot or flash mode, but still nothing happens.
Green or blue led for a sec then tries to boot again.

I hope u didnt fry your phone charging ic like i did on mine. Using fake charger and short hv burst suddenly turn my phone exactly like yours. I somehow managed to recover from it temporarily by shorting usb wire while charging it and eventually the phone die. Haha lol.

This is not the same problem.
First try volume up + power for about 15 seconds untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations to turn it off.
Then try flashmode.

it works,thanks

phone bricked .....won't charge

My z2 gets stuck on the sony logo when trying to open it....and won't turn off unless i press the small red button on the side of the charging port....i tried the repair function of pc companion but when i connect the phone the led shows red light indicating an empty battery and pc companion does nothing.....when i plug the charger the red light turns on for a few seconds then turns off then the phone gets stuck on the sony logo with the led light off (not charging?) ... so i think i can't charge it and hence i can't fix it, help me please
Can u enter recovery/bootloader mode?

If you are on stock then try factory resetting your phone through stock recovery.
If the above process didn't work, try to flash stock ftf through flashtool.
And if you are rooted, try clean flashing ROM through custom recovery.

The phone doesn't even have the battery to boot into any of these , flashtool prepares the files for flashing and when it asks me to plug the phone in and i do it i get "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors"

connect the phone to charger for few hours and let it be so that it charges for sometime. then after that press the power button and volume up button for few seconds till it vibrates a few times and connect to flashtool when it asks to connect and flash. if this works let us know. definitely your phone is not bricked if sony logo is coming. dont worry.

when the phone is in the charger all it does is bring up the sony logo which can't be turned off , and there is no orange led light indicating charging , the phone heated after 10 minutes in the charger ....is it charging even though the led isn't turning on ? i fear if i leave it in the charger it might get overheated for nothing

Try the same procedure on win7
(Flashtool may not work on win8 and above)
If you are already on win7 try uninstalling BlueStacks, Youwave, VirtualBox etc (if you have them).
If everything above didn't work, try installing latest essential drivers and latest flashtool.
Unluckily if you still have the same problem then try downloading and flashing ftf from different servers.
Hope you do it well

i guess its charged enough even if its not showing the led light for charging. its never working on the sony logo part of bootup. try connecting it to flashtool like the way i said. and please make sure you have all the drivers installed beforehand. if you had ever run it earlier then all drivers will be present. let us know.
dont worry about windows. i'm using it on win8 without any problem. just take care of drivers.
Thanks guys....i have tried another laptop with installing all the drivers,then i put the phone in the charger for 15 mins , and flashed an ftf through flashtool and it is booting up normally as we speak !
