I got an Xperia X10i from a friend in school. The only problem it had was that the battery was faulty (We tried a battery from an Xperia Play, worked perfectly top to bottom), so I went a head and bought a new battery. Now the phone will only vibrate and flash a green light. Then nothing, not even the Sony logo. I've to pull the battery out and shove it back it for it to start again. I've tried SEUS, FlashTool, and Repair Phone in PC Companion. They all download the ROM but won't do anything while installing and will eventually say it failed. So my question is, is there anyone else out there who experienced this and how did they fix it? Please help
You might wanna make sure the drivers are properly installed then start flashtool get the .71 baseband and stock gb rom from stickies if i remember well put them in the firmware folder then turn your device off plug it in the pc and quickly hold the back button until a green light shows up and keep holding it start the flashing process and let it do his job flash the rom and the baseband no orders preferred reboot you should have a stock working rom

I really don't know what to do
Strange, I'm in Ireland too. I've an Vodafone Ireland X10i I bought of a guy the other day and it has the very same problem, it just refuses to take the update from 2.1. I downloaded the Nordic 2.1 ftf file and it sticks at 7% and will not move after that. I've contacted Sony Ericsson support yesterday afternoon and I'm awaiting a reply.
I'm not complaining about buying the phone as I use an Xperia X10 anyway so if it can't be repaired I can use it for spare parts and I didn't pay a lot for the one that's broke.
Dmac98 have you contacted Sony Ericsson support? if not then maybe you should as the more people contact them about this problem the quicker they might get it sorted.

SEUS won't work I've already tried that. I just tried again to update via pc companion and it got to the very end then stopped. I'm gona keep trying, it just has to be fixable lol

Mine doesn't get any progress after download, when you turn your X10 on does it stay on the Bootloader?
It dosent do anything, green led flashes phone vibrates and thats it, screen dosen't do anything
Sent from my X10 using xda premium
So we're in the exact same situation and you're doing better than me. I'm jealous. I've a funny feeling you actually have to have more than 50% (It sounds like more of a suggestion) but it's really hard to charge when it keeps on stopping. This things meant to be impossible lol
yeah I use this phone to charge the battery so its always over 50%. The update gets to about 97% then stops, by hook or by crook I'll get it sorted haha

Hmm bootloader unlocked you think? Might be debugging or maybe not because his update probably failed halfway causing this? I know the x10 is not hard brickable whit locked bootloaders no clue about unlocked ones really running short on ideas ...

Yeah, thats what I thought until I seen this post started by Dmac98 the problem is identical. Same country Ireland, same phones X10i, same network I think vodafone. I just think its strange lol. Thanks for your help though, just going to wait and see what se support will say I guess.

I haven't found the guide to unbrick the SE Xperia 2011 "bricked" device, then here it goes.
All of the following worked on my ST15i Xperia Mini Smultron.
So, your device was briked (doesn't turn on and probably blinks its LED).
If your device's LED works or you are able to turn it to flashmode (green LED light) then you can unbrick it using this short guide. In the over case bring it to Service.
Let me guess. Your device was unlocked and/or rooted just before it got bricked. Right? And you have tried to install official FOTA update. Right? I have bad news. After you have unlocked the bootloader the official installer (built into SE Android ROM) will always brick your smartphone. From now on you have to install all the updates and stuff via Flashtool or Clockwork Recovery only.
I assume you have downloaded and installed Flashtool for Sony Ericsson devices. Also I assume all the necessary drivers are installed on your PC.
Download attached file and extract the *.tft from it.
Put it to the Flashtool/firmwares/ folder.
Start the Flashtool, click Flash icon, select Flashmode, select the *.tft file.
Put your device onto flashmode and flash.
You're right, and there is always a need for these things, thank you.
Thank you for your file.
I've bricked my Xperia yesterday after a OTA update before unlocking bootloader with "Test point" method.
For me, worked flashing stock rom .62 with Wotan Server.
S1 tool flashed correctly ROM but still phone won't boot.
Now I have a question, after flashing new rom and "unbrick" the device my bootloader was unlocked and I must retry the steps of "Testpoint" or it is already unlocked?
SOLVED: Did the job hitting "RESTORE" in s1tool after wiping phone hitting "Restore" in Companion and flashing useless ftf bootloader relocker... '-.-
i cant get it to work
ok, can you please tell me exactly what to do after flashing the files on the phone?
i cant get it to boot, i also tried wotan but to no avail, the phone is dead
however let me tell you what my problem is:
my phone is a non branded ST17i (xperia active) rooted. nothing more not unlocked bootloader, no custom rom.
it was updated about more than a month ago (so i doubt it is bricked for that reason).
yesterday the screen began to act *funny* with a strange colored line in the top (i added an image of how it looked like), i restarted it, and it rebooted fine, so i put it to charge, from time to time within 30 *mins* i checked to see if the line was there again, but nothing, about an hour later i wanted to play with it and check whatsapp, but the screen would not turn on, it was totally frozen, as it happened before i just removed and inserted the battery (since this always fixed it), but then, it would not show a single thing on the screen, actually not even the buttons at the bottom would light up (back-home-menu), the only thing that seems to work is the vibration, and the notification led, after a few tries i removed and inserted the battery and put it to charge, but again, nothing, when it is turned off and you charge it, it reacts to touch lighting the buttons and showing the battery level on screen, but nothing, it is actually dead, so i don't know if it is bricked or no.
firstly i tried flashing with wotan, but nothing, i also tried flashing with seus, but nothing, and i don't understand, what to do with you post, i flash the files you posted, but then what?, do i boot it normally or do i need to flash something else?
i would be very grateful with a detailed step by step
If you haven't unlocked bootloader or flashed custom ROM or kernel your problem is very very strange...
First question: Phone will enter correctly in "Download" mode pressing VOL- during boot?
If you connect the device at PC it will be recognized? Launching Companion will detect a "Generic" SE phone or you will display the exact model? Have you tried a repair?
is not that strange look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572972
to your questions:
*yes, the phone enters flash mode
*yes it is correctly recognized by PC
*companion recognizes the exact model
*i have tried more than twice to reinstall and repair the phone software, as stated before, and the progress goes smooth showing NO errors.
phone does not start, does not boot.
if you have any ideas please let me know

You not need to restore the device because you have already a locked bootloader.
Try to re-flash with Wotanserver with another firmware version.
If problem persist, I think you need to meet local service center...

Who I got you update ota
After that turn off the device no longer works

Thx Man
but The attached file in the main post not fit my problem??
Because I am in my country I can not use this program Wotanserver
Because of the proxy server
try relock the bootloader,and then you can fix it over PC companion.

Hello, I tried to unbrick my phone, but it doesn't work :/ Flashing is ok, but when I turn the phone it only vibrates and I can't do nothing. Please help me
That might be useful
HELP1! I've flashed ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332).ftf on my ray with Flashtool and it started and worked perfectly. I tried to install CW with SEextereme tweak installer but when it tried to reboot my phone it stopped at the Sony Ericsson screen. I cannot go into the CW.
I tried to restore my phone with flashtool with ST18i_4.0.2.A.0.42_(Central-Europe).ftf but it doesn't boot again. I tried with FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe but still no success. Help me fix my phone or my parents will kill me because this is the third time it gets broken.
If this helps my ray is sim locked and with locked bootloader.
Thanks in advance.
Im' not sure whether SEextereme tweak installer can be used for ics, probably that's the problem. Why would you use fota unbrick? you didn't unlocked the bootloader rite?
basically there is 2 things you did wrong my fren:
1. Install CW with SEextereme tweak installer --> did u make sure that the tweak installer work with ics? in order to install CW u need to have root. Tweak installer probably uses the exploit on gingerbread not ICS
2. I tried with FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe --> this one is a definite no. If im not mistaken this fotaunbrick only applied to phone that tried ota update after unlocking the bootloader on their phone.
Please specify the condition of your phone right now. Is it totally dead? when you turn on the phone what led color turns out? red, blue or green? Have you tried enter into flashmode to see whether it detects or not?
Flashmode= press vol down while connecting your phone to the computer
if what i'm suggesting is wrong, please correct me
be open to the bootloader
changed the kernel (xray v6)
go to recovery
factory reset
install zip from sdcard (custom rom)
In other places in the forum it's written that SEextreme tweak installer works with ICS and yes i had my phone rooted. I also read that this problem might occur on bricked devices and thats why i tried the Unbricktool.
my phone can connect in flashmode, but not in fastboot since i am with locked sim.
it does vibrate when i press the on button but it gets just to the sony ericsson screen and nothing more. I cannot even go to the recovery.
i've flashed firmwares with pccompanion, flashtool but still no sucess.

how long did you wait after flashing?
if you're still getting the sony logo then it's not really a bad case. only problem is you have a lock bootloader.
PC companion will not let you to repair installation?
use flashtool again with ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332).
Else you need to unlock the bootloader, and flash a new kernel.

I tried flashing the ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332) with flashtool and i waited about 2 minutes. It's still not gettin further than the sony ericsson screen.I aslo have tried this update service but still no change.
My bootloader has never been unlocked, so are you sure this is the problem and i nave to unlock it?
Check if you are able to use the phone in flash mode
Dude, your problem is pretty strange. I have done the same steps and worked flawles. Have a cable pluged in to the computer and then hold the vol- on the device and plug it. If you have a green LED thats cool. Go to wotanserver.com and find your ST18i. Scroll down and you will see the firmware flashing software. Download USB drivers and Wotan Client. Find someone with a credit card and get a firmware flashing credit for 2 euro. I think that will work. The wotanclient is easy to use and does not require anything else than flash mode for your phone. I hope i have helped you. Btw have you checked if toy have fastboot mode ( hold vol+ and plug in to computer)( I should see a blue led) if you dont see then pm me

please flash ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332) again with flashtool 0.7.0, tick the box of "Wipe User Data", "Wipe Cache" and "No Final Verification Check".
Then the "Sony" logo will appear, not the "Sony Ericsson". Then the "Xperia" logo will appear. After that, try to wait araound 10-15mins.
Please post the log from flashtool. Easier for us to analyze what has happened.
The good news is that ur phone still can boot into flashmode. And you dont need to unlock your bootloader for flashing. The only importance of unlocking your bootloader is basically the ability to flash via fastboot and flash custom kernel. That's all.
I did exactly what you told me but this time it got stuck on the SONY screen

from the log, seems like ur flash is a success, so that means ur phone is still not brick yet . Wondering what's wrong with it . How long did you wait?
Guys I installed MIUI on my ray and its pretty good. But 3d games are not comming. So what I want is I want to restore it to previously backuped Stock ROM. But when try to restore it from CWM its saying md5 missing...like that. What should I do. I tried to install .562 stock rom with flash tool. Still I'm not able to update it. Plz give me suggestions

Do i really need to unlock my bootloader to fix the problem?
Is there a solution without this because and if not how did it happen so i don't do it again?
Please answer the questions people ask here. You said you waited only 2 minutes after flashing ICS? You do know that everything in the phone gets reset, dalvik-cache gets wiped and it takes up more than 2 minutes for the phone to rebuild everything before it completely boots up?
If you did wait more than 10-15 minutes and you still have the problem, sorry, then i unfortunately don't know a solution.

IMO, you don't need to unlock the bootloader since CWM wipe all is basically the same with "Wipe User Data" and "Wipe Cache". So ur doing a same thing by flashing with flashtool with the "Wipe User Data" and "Wipe Cache" box tick. Did you try flash using official software like SEUS and PC Companion?

im assuming that u have already unlocked the bootloader on your phone since ur running a custom kernel. Have you tried flash using fastboot command?
after following what the guy above me said, please confirm if you are getting the Sony logo or the Sony Ericsson logo.
and yeah, minimum wait time after flashing is 5 minutes.

Can I do something about it or to throw it ?
brick fix x10
1-download sony erricson update service
2-accept the dialogue box
3-choose phone model and do according to it.
this will erase ur data and there will be no root in it
it just getting a new life again.
Doesn't work even after downloading update service.
The update service asks me to click on mount sd card option on my phone but can't do that as my phone is dead.
I was updating my phone and it stopped midway due to low battery..it just shows a caution sybol when I start it. please help!!
It works on my case. I flashed my X10 to cm10 last night and messed up the kernel. The phone was stucked on the boot up screen. I used the Sony Update service to restore the phone back to GB 2.3, then restarted the whole process and it worked.
During the update process, it didn’t ask for the SD card. I have my 16GB SD card in my phone all the time during the update. Not sure if that will make any difference. Worth a try.
Hi sir, do you have time? I cant figure out what is wrong with my x10. When i try to flash those Generic Stock Rom, i get to have errors flashing. It aborts sometime when flashing system.sin and other sin depending on the tft file... i dunno what version my phone is but my pc detects it with flashmode. When im using Seus, it fails flashing in about 90% of the process... when booting my phone, just a quick vibrate with green flashes once. Do u have skype account? Hope u have time and can help me. Most of the links in xda our outdated. And i know my phone is outdated too. Thanks and more power
Hello, guys !
My old Sony Ericsson x10 stopped working 4 months ago and back then I tried everything I could think of to fix it myself, without luck though. Today I decided to give it another last try. I think the phone just shat down by itself back then, but sadly I don't remember much of the details. I was using Advanced Xperia X10i ROM and it was working fine, I didn't get any errors during the flashing or while I was running it. And yes, the phone was rooted / with unlocked bootloader.
When I press the power button the phone vibrates for half a sec or less and that's it, the screen doesn't light up or anything. When I connect the phone to a charger or PC the green light comes on, I haven't seen it turn red so far.
This is the s1tool log I get when I 'identify' the phone.

So I cannot flash any firmware or enter recovery mode because the phone doesn't turn on.
It seems the problem comes from that 'sin header' , whatever that is. I noticed that flashtool has a Sin Editor in the Tools, but I have no idea what to do with that.
I've seen 30+ posts with the same "SIN header verification failed" problem but I didn't find a solution in them, that's why I'm asking.
Bump. By the way, SEUS says I'm running the latest version so it doesn't help either.

Did u manage to repair it as it seems very similar problem to mine. After I connect wall charger it turns green but cant turn it on, seus or flashtool doesnt recognize my phone, pc cant connect due to usb malfuncion..phone is just dead, plz help if you got solution. thanks
Hi!
I have a Xperia X10 Mini Pro (U20) with Stock Firmware (after recovery with "UpdateService" from SE).
I have installed CWM successfully with "CWMInstaller - Windows - v5".
When I try to install "MiniCM7-2.2.1-mimmi" (or 2.2.2) it says that I need a nAA-Kernel but successfully installs CM7.
When I do a reboot CWM says that "recovery is bad and has to be renewed". After that all I get is the white "Sony Ericsson" lettering (again with the option to start CWM when pressing the back button several times).
So I tried to follow this "Bootloader and kernel guide" and unlock my bootloader first using Flashtool. But when the phone restarts it "hangs" on the white "Sony Ericsson" lettering. When I try again, Flashtool tells me that it is not possible to unlock this bootloader.
My phone is produced 10W42 - could it really be that the ancient stock firmware is the only one which works?
All I want is a more modern and fast (lightweight) android version to use my old phone furthermore.
Thanks in advance for your advice and help!

When you install CWM it is installed in the system part of the ROM. When you installed MiniCM7 it got wiped out, because MiniCM7 is for the nAa-kernel, and in that kernel CWM is built in. Which means it doesn't need to be in the MiniCM7 ROM. That's why you lost it.
And ofcourse it 'hangs' on the white SE lettering, because the ROM you installed does not work with the Sony Ericsson kernel.
You say you unlocked the bootloader, so why don't you flash the nAa-kernel?
Prepare flashtool to flash it, then attach the usb-cable and press home- and back-buttons together to force a restart. If the bootloader unlock was successful the flash will get through and after that, you'll have CWM back and you will continue to boot into the ROM too.
And be very careful not to flash the x10blrelock.ftf by accident, it will definitely break your phone. Best is to remove that from the flashtool/firmwares folder before you proceed.

Thanks for your answer, SmG67.
The problem is, that I have _tried_ to unlock the bootloader, but it did not finish. The "s1tool" still shows a capital R in the version ("RUNNING S1_EROM VER 'R8A029'") which means "not unlocked".
I also tried to install the kernel "U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf" but this does not work as the bootloader is locked.
So can you give me a tip, how I could move on?

You should not have proceeded to install the ROM in the first place if you didnt unlock it. Open SONY Update Service in PC, click repair and follow what they say. When you connect your phone to PC for repair, follow what SmG67 told you

I am unsettled now, so I want to make sure to do the right things:
I have "repaired" the phone using UpdateService and made the first setup - phone is now running and USB debugging is switched on.
Then I started flashtool and clicked on the flash-button (U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf); followed the instructions but it quits working after phone restart with the following output:

Root the phone again with flashtool and then unlock the bootloader using flashtool. After that, you should be able to flash the kernel.

Thanks to your reply, I was able to root the device with flashtool. Afterwards I successfully started Superuser and switched off the phone again.
While unlocking the bootloader (button BLU) with flashtool afterwards it gave me the following output:

There are no errors this time, but again nothing more happens: phone is loading and showing orange LED.
I am surprised of the log line saying that "Bootloader status is UNROOTABLE"?
btw: S1info still gives me a uppercase "R" for "not unlocked".
Can I proceed flashing the U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf?

That will fail since your bootloader is still locked. Not sure why flashtool failed to unlock it, but maybe you can try the manual method, as linked to in the opening post of the kernel.

You mean to unlock bootloader with "msm7227_semc.cmd" as stated in the "Bootloader and kernel guide" (from above)?
Because this always leads to:
Code:
process requires standard 2.x android firmware.
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .
Getting ROOT rights.
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
and the phones LED flashing red sometimes
Thats not the first device I am using custom firmware with, but this phone resists all my attempts.
Finally I managed to run CM7 on my phone following this german instruction.
My mistake was that during the flash process the phone has to be switched on normally and not to be connected in flashmode (pressing back button while plugging USB in).
Thanks for your suggestions and hints!
