Hello everyone,
I am a noob and I tried to update my X10a (Rogers) from PC Companion and it wouldn't work even though I am at firmware 2.1.
Then I decided to do an update with flashtool. But everytime I connect to flashtool it gives me this error:
18/024/2011 19:24:39 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - Then go to application settings
18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
18/026/2011 19:26:13 - INFO - Device disconnected
and I have turned on the Unknown Sources and USB Debugging on the phone yet it keeps giving me the same error over and over again.
Even when I tried to upgrade it to the Generic 2.3 it would still give me this error.
I don't know what I am doing wrong or if it is just my stupid phone.
I downloaded all the .ftf files from here.
I also downloaded the flashtool from here.
Please help me. I would really appreciate it.
goto driver folder in flashtool folder and run ggsetup then try again
Redownload file and try again
AND
When flashtool says to connect in flashmode put the phone in flash mode that time
Don't put it in flashmode before it
i did both...still not working
one thing i do notice is that everytime I connect my phone with the USB I get the pop-up "Connect phone/Install PC Companion/Charge Phone"
If I select Connect phone and a few seconds later I take out the USB and plug it back in I get that popup in the phone again...could this be a problem?

Hi, I bricked my SE Xperia X10 Mini pro(u20i). I have root, recovery(CWM) and CyanoComb v1.4. When I rebooted phone, unlocked screen it shows errors about apps that they closed and than the phone rebooted. I can't do nothing, go to recovery is impossible. I tried flashtool but it's need to enable uknown sources an debugging but i can't go to system. SEUS didn't respond when i connect the phone with back button... HELP ME! Thanks
Edit: Now i see that the Flasher shows error after plugin phone in flash mode. HELP!
I looked into my magic glass bowl and saw that you did something and my future cards said you will have gotten some help. But not specifically.
I hope this disburdens yourself a bit.
Now after you cooled down and recognized that the information(s) you gave us is too unspecific you can go on to give more informations.
But first:
Doi you have the correct ftf file(s) for flashtool? Flashtool does not need to have anything enabled on your phone. Also SEUS should work. If not you bricked your phones hardware.
My guess is you did not correctly follow the instructions to use SEUS. Follow them step by step. They are well explained. Possibly you haven't the correct driver on your PC... But this did not tell me my glass bowl, this stupid thing. May you tell us what operating system you use? Maybe reinstalling SEUS will help. Do you have the actual VFewrson of SEUS? I guess SEUS is the better choice then flashtool for you. (both do the same but flashtool can flash other roms)
Good luck.
I have W7 and XP, i tried SEUS and Flashtool on both. I downloaded UK 2.1 ROM and than I did .ftf file. After i enter flash mode in Flashtool it say: Error Flashin Aborted, Now unplug your device and power it on, turn on Uknown sources and Debugging.
In SEUS, when it ask to turn in flash mode, I do it but SEUS didn't recognize my device.

@wOrHeR SvK: i had the same behaviour with Flashtool, so i powered off the device, powered on in flash mode and reflashed with FlashTool, after that it was flashed fine (don't follow the ending message to activate unknown sources and other crap, you don't need it... focus only at flash stage, that's what you need).
By the way Snoopo is right, flashing with SEUS (open application and search for "repair your phone" or something like that) does the job in every circumstance but hardware failure.
Good luck!
nothing... I turned on in flash mode and than click flash in Flashtool. Same problem... SEUS can't recognize... I Don't know why but before it was OK
tommorow i will go to my friend and try it at his PC
redownload the ftf file... did you possibly load a mini (u10) file instead a x10 mini pro (u20)?
did you use the right version of Flashtool? The one from Androxyde/Bin4ry [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746]?
Use SEUS to reinstall your ROM
yeah, tried 0.2.8 and 0.2.9.1. SEUS still not working...
Correct Flashfiles are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
And SEUS also should work. What are the error messages? Make sure your phone is really OFF, start SEUS choose "x10 mini pro" (NOT "mini pro" without "x10" - this is a coplete new model and not really released yet) and go through the process until it says you have to connect your phone and do it exaclty like it is explained: hold the back-button while you are connecting your phone hold it down as long as it is looking for your phone when it starts flashing you can release the button. there should be the green indicator LED showed while the restore is running.
The Flashtool ones you pasted look like the flashmode is started successfully but it is possibly a wrong flash file. So try the correct one(s) (rename the .rar file downloaded from page above into .ftf)
otherwise you really bricked your boot partition and can try if SE wants to rescue your phone or if it says that your warranty is void...
SEUS still nothing, tried everything... Flashtool: when i first turn phone on to flash mode and than click flash in flashtool, it say Start Flashing and than the Error but when it says the error the green led is off and the phone is going to start... any idea ?
also SEUS isn't showing any errors, just say that i have to connect phone in flash mode...
I can boot to system but in system it showing errors about apps thah must close.... That isn't bricked boot patriton i think.

Hello!
I hope there is someone who can help. I have purchased a second hand mini pro with custom firmware (some froyodroid). It worked for a couple of days and now it just doesnt start up anymore. When i turn it on it boots into the home screen and comes then up with dozens of error messages ie. phone was closed..., calender was closed,.... so i cant even go into the settings.
My idea was to install some other rom and hope the problem is solved but when i run flashtool i get this message

I assume it wants me to turn on USB debugging but unfortunately i cant even get into the settings. Any idea what to try to fix it?
TIA
Sorry guys, after reading some more threads i realized how to solve it. Thanks anyway
TO dosada or others who know: How to solve it?
THanks in advance!
i use flashtool before and the first time,i also dont know how to use it. but after more trials, i manage to understand on how to use flashtool (after reading thread by thread).
1. turn off the phone, unplug the cable.
2. open flashtool, selec flashmode, select kernel, then ok.
3. flashtool will give you a message about flashmode.
3. hold back button (<== arrow) and plug in the cable.
4. the flash process start.

Everytime on the same PC? Did you try connect another? or WinXP and Win 7?
Did u try a SEUS repair?
Take battery out
Load SEUS and select model x10
When it says plug in holding back button attach USB only
Now hold back button while inserting battery
Green light?
If no try another USB cable
If that still doesn't work, id say it's a dead USB port on your phone

When I try to boot my phone, the sony logo shows up and then nothing happens. I have CWM installed but pressing vol. down doesn't open the recovery. I tried to flash stock firmware using flashtool, but when I connect phone in flashmode/fastboot mode, the phone connects properly for about 10 seconds, then boots and again stuck at sony logo.
I know I'm supposed to connect only when flashtool says to connect the phone, and doing just that but still not working. Please help!

It'sa good thing you forgot to mention what windows version you are on or ig you have used flashtool before on that PC so we can waste some time while you waiting for help.
Is your phone completely turned off when you are trying to connect in flash mode?

Sorry. I'm on Windows 8, and yes, I've used flashtool before. I also tried to flash from a different pc with windows 7, and the same problem is there.
Yes, phone is completely turned off when trying to connect in flash mode.

@hoodakaushal
I assumed you used it before, I asked if you have used it on that PC.
Try latest version of flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/
See the FAQ for instructions to install on windows 8.
Also, USB 3 ports won't work, so use USB 2 ports or if you don't have those look at the BIOS for option to switch from xHCI to EHCI.

Same problem. Even after using usb 2.0, it stays in flash mode for a few seconds then the sony logo starts in a loop again. Cant access cwm or flash mode. What should I do?
Hi guys, So the problem im having at the minute is im trying to flash it back to a a lower firmware but for some reason on flash tools im getting:
15/020/2015 11:20:36 - INFO - Device disconnected
15/020/2015 11:20:36 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging on

15/020/2015 11:20:36 - INFO - Selecting from user input
15/021/2015 11:21:48 - ERROR - You can only flash devices.
Ive actually installed EVERY single driver on the drivers list as I tried the Xperia Z2 drivers to begin with and they didnt work
Am I right in thinking that I can just choose the Z2 from the list that comes up or does flashtool have to actually recognize it?
Ive gone on to USB Connectivity and the only 2 options that I have are MTP and MSC, Ive enabled USB Debugging and allowed my Computer access, But it still wont work, Can anyone help me please?
Thanks.
