hi, my x10 has been out of action for 5 mnths now.(phone model, x10i type aad-3880056-bv)
Its been rooted, then just stopped turning on. Had led flashing light red. Tried new charger & batteries, no joy! Then read about flashing & thought it might be that.
I HAVE ALREADY READ THE POSTS FOR NOOBIES
Got flash tool, but wasnt sure which firmware to use so I have tried 2 of them.
Ive followed the steps to flashing, but the phone still wont turn on.
Heres my log, anyone know what im doing wrong please????

very simple, repair your phone with pc companion and try it all again, maybe that helps, sorry but is no other way, but is your unknown sources and debugging on,
but why you flash this: Selected Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897.ftf and which rom are you?
respond man.
Pc companion is only solution I think. I had a similar problem, solved it with PC companion.
Sent from my xperia "z10i"
how do i use pc companion? It wont detect my phone. Just red flashing led
tried to do update & it flashes green, but still wont turn on?????
getting error now saying 'phone update aborted'. Is my phone buggered??
thanks
tried both update & phone repair. Saying same errors 'aborted'.
Why is it doing this? Bein driving me crazy for the last 3 days.
Is it totally broke???
ANYONE???
Maybe your battery is flat, leave it charging through an AC adapter for at least 2 hours.

I think there is some problem with the NAND IC..Some times it gives error on amss.sin and sometimes it gives error on system.sin.I believe people are out there who have fixed this please help as phone is completely useless...cant even install xrecovery.
Ok I solved the problem with replacing my cable....
tash82 Replace your cable....I hope it will work for you too...
Flash tool somehow faces errors while pushing Sin files due to bad/broken cable.
Happy Flashing....
no, still no good.
I left my battery to charge all night & borrowed a family members usb cable.
My phone still wont turn on........(gutted)

I'm choosing to pull out of development on the play.
Thanks Waz for your efforts! Really appreciate it....
But after flashing... same thing, wont boot, screen stays blank. only recognise as flashing mode on my pc. cant get into fastboot too....
try taking out your sdcard and battery, pop the battery back in and flash again, this time when you power on, insert the USB lead again as soon as you press power, let me know what happens.
if that doesnt work Id say you got a hardware problem and should send the phone back.
hi waz thank you
but i have same problem teckhwee flash ok but no boot

what's the model of your guys phone is it the R800I there must be something about your phones, where they sim locked before?
I wonder if your boot.img has somehow gotten currupt, what bricked your phone in the first place what happened?
have you tried the unlocking process again to see if that somehow messed up?
The above file is the full recovery and should work on all R800I's so there must be something im missing here.

you could try and uninstall the current drivers on your windows box check delete files and driver, then plug it back and wait for windows to find the driver again.
Im not sure, the flash looks like it's gone OK
I know you can format the NAND with ADB maybe this is an option to try before reflashing? could be you have bad blocks and the controller is not flagging them?
adb shell
format DATA:
format SYSTEM:
format CACHE:

This may sound stupid but your battery isnt flat is it? you may just have a broken battery that just wont hold charge? charge your phone for a few hours see if it helps.
ive just read some posts on the net about xperia's somenoe claims sticking the battery in the freezer for an hour and then charging it fixed his red light problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452402
your battery is fooked mate by the sound of it
Not battery problem as I got 2 batteries.
that's not to say the charging circuit of your phone isnt broke? Im not saying it is as i don't know but certainly plausible given the fact the symptoms mirror other xperia battery problems

I had a similar issue. Red light and all. The problem was my machine at work. Did you try on another machine. I also suggest windows xp, this is my home machine, it was windows 7 at work.

hi thank you all for help me
i test with windows xp but same problem
i test put my battery in freezer -18° celcius for 1 hour but same probleme
i think a battery problem i go to buy a new battery for test
very thanks all
Doesnt work here as well, my friend did OTA update, the device turned off after the update, never turned on again.
I tried to flash it like you explained Waz, used both programs, flash was succesful but when i press power, it vibrates one time and nothing else happens, if i keep power pressed it keeps vibrating.
If i connect the phone to usb, the power key turns a green ligh on.
I think i know why it's not working, the recovery file is for the initial firmware release not the update, so tomorrow hopefully got tonisilitis atm, ill update the stock phone, download the new recovery file rebuild and upload. This SHOULD! fix the phones.
stay tuned
hi katsuru i have same probleme after ota update
your xperia are rooted an bootloader unlocked ?
you are tested pc companion and seus for repair youre phone ?
he detect my phone have modified software and refuse flashor repair my phone
i test after flash with unbranded.tft with wazz methode but seus and pc companion refuse again because my software are modified
i search and wait a new solution
thank you wazzz
Greatly appreciated waz.....
Damn, the recovery software already updated it to the latest version i went to do an update and it's already done..
im at a loss atm guys, I just dont know what's causing your failures but i recommend going back to the manufacturer with this one
Ok, I've searched and searched to no avail and the problem i am having is that i when i connect my phone it is automatically in flash mode without holding the back button . When i plug the phone into the usb the LED light stays solid green even when disconnecting from the pc at times.... if i have SEUS running when i first connect to the pc it is detected in flash mode, but every time i try to recover/update it always fails, and i am having the same problem in flashtool (v0.2.9.1) nor can i access xrecovery. The battery isn't the issue i have 2 extra batteries with a wall charger so power hasn't been the issue. I've looked at a JTag for it cause it seem like its probably out for the count but for that kind of money i might as well buy a new phone. Can someone help me please if they can??
Also...If i tap the power on button it only flashes the green led once without it being connected and if i hold the power button it flashes the green led light and vibrates a little harder than it normally would when it tries to power up.
Did you try reseting the id ports? and reinstalling the ggsemc drivers?
if not go to the sonyericsson folder,in all programs,also if you cant remove the drivers,go to system32/drivers and search for ggsemc.sys and delete it. Reboot and try to install again.
Also you have to have the latest flashtool,and pc companion.
What OS is in your pc/laptop???
I'm runnning Windows 7 64-bit on a desktop, everything is up to date, and i'm running as administrator on the programs though i didn't find that driver you mentioned in either folders. i did however uninstall the id it had it as from device manager and had it reinstall. I've also tried running windows in debugging mode.
Ok i just tried the newest flashtool, and it sees it when i connect but soon as it sees it for some reason it disconnects immediately apparently because it doesnt see the phone afterward. ill try getting another usb cord just in case thats the problem, at the same time though im wondering why its stuck in flash mode???
ok this is what i get everytime i use flashtool.

Did u knock the USB cable during flashing? Happens to me quite a lot. If so just start from scratch.
Edit: u using old version of flashtool pal think that's ur problem.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Dear All,
I beg your help for solving the following problem (already browsed for similar topics, no luck).
Here a brief history of the mess I have been doing:
I had installed Cyanogenmod (Worked)
I had flashed back a Stock ROM (ST15i_4.0.A.2.368__GENERIC_(1244-2098).ftf) (Worked)
Even though I knew that was not a good idea, I updated the software (as requested by android) (Bricked)
I have tried to re-flash using the same Stock ROM has worked before, with the result you can read below.

The Symptoms are the following:
Device not booting, when pressing the power button the phone vibrates for one second, nothing happens. The green light blinks.
When connecting the phone to the PC, it immediately starts the flashmode
When trying to connect it in fastboot mode (blue light) nothing happens. After releasing the up volume button, the phone connects in flashmode
When trying to use PC Companion, I get a window asking for unplugging the phone, remove the battery, insert the battery again and reboot. It does not reboot
When being connected with the PC, the phone exits and reenters the the flashmode each 1 minute.
I know I am just the N-th noob asking for help, but any hint is highly appreciated!

Luca

Hey Someguyfromhell,
you made my day, my mobile phone is alive again
There is still one question, is there a solution to allow the updates to be installed again? Maybe by relock the bootloader or using the PC Companion?
Thanks a lot again!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16659481&postcount=33 and look in the post for D) Relocking.
Seems, that if you used test point method, you can also relock via S1tool.
After that you can reflash stock firmware.
Almost same symptoms
Hi, I also think I've bricked my st15i.
What I've done:
-Unlocked bootloader
-Rooted
-Flashed custom rom
-Everything was working
Then with no reason, the phone started rebooting. It managed to boot and after 10sec - 1min it restarted again.
To solve this I:
- flashed stock rom and it stopped rebooting but as soon as I plugged it off the usb it rebooted and could not boot (it was looping sony logo and back).
- flashed other stock firmware, the same results
- now when connecting it to pc it goes directly to flashmode
- I can enter fastboot mode as well
- When pressing power button green led blinks
- tried flashing stock firmware again and then both the xperia_relock_bootloader.ftf and Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf with no results
- when connected to pc it goes only to flashmode (Can't make it to start)
- when pluged in the socket it starts looping up to sony logo
- when not pluged at all when I press power button, green led blinks
I hope you can make any sense out of this because I can't, and I've been trying solutions the past 36hours!!
Please...help!!
hi friends
i was trying to update xperia mini pro sk17i (1250-3615) to ICS official
it went well phone booted to ICS but i wanted to root it. (rooting failed even when in GB with all the possible methods Doomlord/Xperia-root/flashtool )
then triend to collect all the files from firmware folder of sony pc companion and made a ftf file using flashtool decrypt /bundle .
flashed it worked fine for first two times... then unlocked the boot loader using sony unlock code from the site.
now .. i was trying different kernel / pre rooted and was boot looping .. so flashed back to .431 ftf and laptop just went off towards the end.
phone not powering on. not recognised as a usb device. But once in a while it comes to flash mode ( green light vol-down usb state ) and i finally was able to use flashtool and this much happened

but still phone not powering on.. its the red light blinks 3 to 4 times and nothing happens.please shed some light
my own phone is FIH FBO (huawei x6 variant ) and i am active in that section... i have tried all the possible recovery methods i can find..
Did you try repairing with PC Companion after the last flashing session?
Don't know how much it would help, though.
1º Usually when you have the 3 red blink means no battery. You have to put your phone charging and nothing will appear on screen. Only after 10 or 20 minutes when battery reach good level.
2º If point 1 is not enough probably you installed kernel for custom rom that might be not compatible with the version you flashed. Try to go to Fastboot mode (blue light vol-up usb state) and install original kernel.
Good Luck
(i'm quite sure is the battery,if you can just grab a voltimeter and check your battery, if value is lower than 3,8v for sure you need to charge|)
thanks buddy for the quick response ..connected it to the charger keeping it for some time(but it was always connected to laptop usb whole time ). lets hope its the battery now. But i have done some cross flashing too earlier.
can you please point me to the original kernel. (but blue light fastboot mode too not coming up now. )
for this particular phone all the threads are so messed up reading finding each compatible ones is taking so much time.. most of the links are dead /suspended too.
sometimes when i flash this (SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Baseband+Kernel.ftf) i get to the sony splash screen and xperia it will show and keep boot looping ..this guy here also tried the same had similar outcome. This thread

yes one time i got a repair option and i tried it. says the phone has a modified rom / so repair is not possible. (mostly because of the kernel +baseband flash ) and its very rarely comes to flash mode.
brov just reflash but dont use Flashtool v0.8.6, use v0.8.5 but make yhu charge tha phone first...
this is the latest happening ... and i strongly believe its the battery

i just saw the phone booting into splash / xperia / and then i heard saw the android home for a sec and battery went down phone got off.
kept for charging
thanks buddies... one thing is sure battery was down.. i was thinking its full charged since plugged to pc whole night. (wrong !!) then the second thought is .. does the recent booting into android home mean ( 12/019/2012 15:19:04 - INFO - Flashing loader) a temporary boot from the new kernel ? still hope is there rite ??

If you would read correctly, then you would see that .ftf file included only Baseband and Kernel, nothing more, nothing less.

Remove USB cable, choose the .ftf file with Flashtool, connect the phone in flashmode when Flashtool asks it.
Hi there, I'm new to this forum and just need some help with my Xperia x10i.
Basicly when i put it on charge i get a green led light for like 30 seconds and then the led goes off. I also sometimes when im turning the phone on get 3 red lights which blink, other times when i try to turn the phone on it just vibrates and a green light flashes for like a millisecond. I really don't know whats wrong with the phone and if it can be repaired. I have tried to update it using PC companion but it keeps coming up with an error half way through the update, i have also tried to update it using update service but just like PC companion when its installing the software it installs a bit then comes up saying it cant install the software on my phone. I have also tried to flash the phone using flash tool and using Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897.ftf but it keeps saying error and that i need to turn on USB debugging which i cant do as the phone wont come on. Other times flash tool will just freeze when its installing system.sis. Please help me i really want to bring this phone back to life. Any help would be appreciated and if you need more info plz let me know. Thanks
Hello)
1) Change battery
2) Coonect phone to charge without battery. ~15-20 mins
3) Flash ROM via FlashTool =)
Try doing it like this;
1.Without connecting charger, Power on the Phone until it vibrates
2.Connect charger immediately to prevent it from shutting down because of low power
3.Wait until your phone reboots...hope it helps...

But the phone don't boot up!
May be the problem might be with the lcd . Put a sim card , after switching on the phone after 3 minutes call that number , See whether the phone rings . If the phone rings , it might be the lcd problem . Can u kindly confirm it .
