[Q] Confused as to what bootloop is... - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi,
I have this behavior in my u20i phone that the phone will not boot. When i connect it to my PC, the PC detects the phone momentarily for around 5 seconds and then it disconnects and this will continue until i disconnect it. Does this mean my phone is bricked? Is this what a bootloop is? I read many threads on this forum, and for whoever was facing the problem of bootloop, he was atleast getting SE logo.
Now coming to my problem, i used s1tool to get the present details of my phone and it shows the following:
RUNNING S1_EROM VER "R8A029"
SOFTWARE AID: 0001
LOADER AID: 0001
FLASH ID: "0020/00BC"
LOADER VERSION: "R4A045"
MODEL (from GDFS): U20i
SOFTWARE VERSION: 1235-3411_2.1.1.A.0.6
CUSTOM VERSION: 1238-7170_R4B
.
.
SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
The loader version tells me that the bootloader is not unlocked. Tried using SEUS update service to fix my phone back, but after completion, i still am stuck with this boot-looping. Any other suggestions? Any more information required to debug my problem? I had installed a custom rom which was working well (MiniCM7Pro_V21) until i restarted my phone which is when i got this problem. (had got a problem like this before but using SEUS had worked that time)
I can enter the flashmode of the phone atleast but thats it (this gives me some glimmer of hope )
My last resort will be to give my phone to the SE service guys but i wanna know what the problem is before i give it to them.

try again using SEUS????

well that's weird.. i think the only way u can get it working is as you can get into flashmode, you can unlock bootloader then flash the nAa kernel as its got inbuilt CWM recovery,so u can get into recovery mode.. then u can flash a custom ROM.. a perfect ROM would be MiniCm7 by nAa itself n then if u want to get back to stock.. u may flash stock kernel.. then relock bootloader n then use SEUS to get back to Stock ROM.. its a long proceduce but i think it shall work.. if any query fell free to ask.hope that helps you
note: Make sure your following proper instructions while unlocking bootloader , use my tool if u want SE Tweaker Tool n follow correct instruction n read its main thread before u use it..

Well sorry mate.. But I thought ur usb debugging might be on.. so I guess the unlock bootloader thing wont work for u.. Maybe u should try givin it to the service center if its under gaurante.. Else il see if there is any other way u can through..

Tried starting the phone but am having the same problem still...

Have given the phone today to the SE guys, will let you guys knw if it gets fixed or not (they tried updating, said they used some factory sent updater which didn't work after which they said its a hardware issue, which somehow i doubt)...

Got my phone back today and its in good working condition. They said they replaced the flexicable of my minipro which was faulty. Anyway am happy that its working now and am ready to flash a rom into it again Thanks for all your help and suggestions...

Please help me.. thank you!
did you take off your battery and reboot? which version off flash tool do you have? there are different versions out there http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/ is your version similar? i guess you are on stock? i hope this helps. Post more Information if nothing works repair your phone with companion
yes i took off the battery and rebooted.. and the flashtool version is the same as the one you have linked in the above post...
and yes i'm running on stock... phone is rooted..
Are you trying to flash the bootloader without unlocking it or trying to flash an official Sony Ericsson ROM? If you trying to flash the bootloader the 'R8A029' should be 'r8A029' with a lower case 'r', you'll need to use a bootunlocker to do that. (be sure to read the instructions or else you can hard brick your phone!)

[Q] Enter Flashmode

The problem is that I try to enter flashmode of my SE Live with walkman WT19i but I can't
I turn off the phone, press back button & hold it then plug in.
But just the red + green light on & I can't flash using flashtool.
I searched many threads and do as they told but I still can't enter flashmode.
Is there anything that I'm missing or my phone has any problems?
I'm sorry for my bad English.
Can you guys help me out? Thank you so much for that

[Q] BootLoop, tried everything I could find.

So... Uhhh... Sorry for posting here! I saw the video "you're a noob" and got a little scared of posting here. But its almost 3 days without my phone, so I'm a bit of desperate! >>"
So, I got a X10a, and it was with 2.1 until yesterday. I've taken courage and was going to upgrade to 2.3. Pulgged the phone, downloaded the PC Companion, begin the upgrade. Everything went ok. Then I got in the bootloop. Panic at frist the I started to look for some solution. I flashed to 2.3 x10i generic using Flashtools. Still on bootloop. Flashed to 2.1 using flashing tools, still no good. Tryed to repair with PC Companion, no good. Flashed and flashed and flashed, tryed and tryed to repair and nothing. Still on bootloop, I just can't figure out what I can do! Even formating the SD I tryed, and nothing!
So, anyone can help me? I really need help here, I just can't find anything to help me!
Thank you very much! =)
Sorry for my bad english! =/
Try to flash the ROM 2 times with SEUS if it won't work by the first time. I had such a problem once. If it won't help try to flash this ROM via flashtool, and after that just normally (using SEUS) flash to stock 2.3.3.
Good luck
About SEUS... Can I use PCC repair? Like I can't find a SEUS working, it says "Failed checking application versions, please reinstall the application and make sure you have the latest version".
And THANK YOU SO MUCH for the quick answer!! I'm kinda morning my phone here!
I'm downloading the FM you just posted! =)

Tried another cable but still no go...
Don't know what to do anymore... Everything I read say that flashing should resolve... But still don't work
Anyone got a 1.6 Stock so I can try it? Can't find a working link.
did you try rooting your phone with flashtool and install xrecovery?
you can try that might work
The phone does not start... I think for me to root and instal xrecovery I need it to be functional, right?
I have another suggestion. Have u tried flashing another baseband? one that you're sure matchs the rom you flash? If your baseband is wrong installed ROM will be stuck forever.
Sorry, but I don't understand much about baseband. Can't find a easy understanding guide. My phone is from Brazil the company is VIVO. Can you explaim for me? Or show a good guide of it please?
Thank you! =)
EDIT: So, I found a 1.6 and flashed (Old stuff, Cmd). Now here is the diference, after 1.6 I try to turn on my phone and nothing happens, just the green let flash for like 0.5 secs.
When I try to upgrade to 2.1 by flashtool it turn on the screen but just that, no se logo or nothing, and it flicks from time to time.
When flahsing from SEUS I got the same stuff for 2.1.
Got a baseband 52, 54a, 55a and 49i. All I could find in the internet.
Baseband 52, 54a, 55a and 49i no good in SEUS flash.
With generic 2.1 from jakuburban: Tried 54i, 58i and 49i.
No dice... For Crist sake I'm kinda desperate right now!!! >>""""""""""""""""

To flash the baseband's use flashtool (can be downloaded on dev's section). I don't remember what baseband goes with each system version. I can only tell that 2.1.71 only works with Android 2.3.X
PS: finally found the baseband thread, where more detailed info is available: Baseband

This is the file name. X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846.
When I downloaded said to be global generic. I got a X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200 here... Should I try with the 2.1.71?

Are u using a X10a or a X10i ?
I think it's X10a for your country (not sure but...)
So the baseband might be 2.1.65 or 2.1.54... 2.1.71 is for X10i according the baseband thread...
HERE is a thread with most of firmware

Then my friend you should get it to service center.
Cuz by the looks of it you have tried every possible thing to revive your phone.
But many people who retorted the same problem as yours got their phones fixed by choosing repair option in seus

I read in an article that Sony will give warranty if the damage is not due to the flashing of custom ROM or rooting.

guys plz help me with some solution led green blinking is my phone dead ...????????
Have you tried those steps?

Unflashable device, help!

Hello, I've bought a device which is really hard to repair & I'm running out of options!!! The X10 looks brand new but doesn't boot at all!
Until now I've tried Seus/PcCompanion & latest Flashtool.
What happens when I try to power up the device, it vibrates ones but the screen is just black( think because there isn't any firmware/ Rom on it).
When trying to flash a Generic Rom or any Rom at all it gets into flash mode but aboards the procedure.
I also thought that it might be Sim locked & I have to unlock it to get it repaired?! (tried Omnius tool but that didn't work).
When trying to repair with PcCompanion, while trying to install the update/firmware it cancels by telling me there's been a failure, try again or abort.
The same happens with SEUS!
I've tried both tools at least a dozen times without any success!
I never had problems with my other X10.
I'm starting to think it's hardware related & I'll have to take it to a pro.
If anyone has an idea, I t would really appreciate it, thanks!!!!!

i dunno if this can help . but when the vibrate wait like 6-10sec then flip to the right like you wanna look to the volumes buttons if you saw any whiteness in the dark of the screen then the phone cable is working . if it still black the cable might be got broken or something or maybe there is wire that got unplugged from its place
btw i think you better take it to pro

Thanks, I know what you mean with the whiteness but there isn't, it isn't booting at all & I have those two cables which both work, that can't be it. I think I'll let it get checked by a pro. Your English btw is really good, thanks for trying to help
I think either it's a loose cable inside the phone or maybe I have to flash a specific Firmware (maybe an older one, a down grade) but flashing has never worked.

Really !! didn't know lol xD
btw i meant the cable inside the phone that can let the screen work without it the phone will be working and you only see a black screen while actually the phone is working . so try this
1.Power on phone
2.after phone vibrate . plugin the usb at the same time in pc open flashtool
3.Wait like 6-10 sec if something like this appeared '' Device connected with USB debugging off ''
this means the phone actually working. then this might the inside cable problem . if non of this happened dunno what else i can do for you . did you take to a pro yet ??

Try stock back everything with SEUS first....
I have same problem on another x10.. there is a solution to fix.. probably you brke bootloader..and if it's so..then you have to give it to pro's... to flash whole firmware with box cable..not usb..
But before that..try this.. firstly...take original charger..and connect it to phone..let the battery charge..you can understand it's charging cuz in 30min's or so it will get heater... then pull off battery and let phone to lie without it for 20 min..then without battery connect phone to charger..and wait..you'll get green led.. wait 20 min after that...then put battery back and flash firmware with flashtool..with no firmware check option... flash whole firmware..kernel...baseband..etc..cuz now yo have empty phone... hope this helps..peace.

Thank You so much!!!
I´ve given away the phone to a phone repair shop which i think are really good. But since they haven´t called me back I think it´s quite tricky for them too. They´ll charge me 20€ if they can fix it & if not I´ll give Your procedure a Go!!!
Thanks for helping Fera!!!

Hi Fera!
My phone's still at the repair shop, this guy is convinced he can repair it by flashing the right patch?!? O think he means firmware, so I g gave him another hour to try.
You wrote that i should flash the firmware with no firmware check option?? How shall I do that? Best regards!!!!
Does S1Tool provide any insight into what the state of the phone is??
If it returns it's status, part of the output is the current file system.... or lack there of.

I just ran the S1 Tool & pressed identify & thats what the outcome is:
Running S1 from ver R8A013 (as i know R means Bootloader is locked)

custom version: 1235-7836 R6A
Filesystem Version: 1227-4607_R2BA026
Ser No.....
Not recognized simlock certificate
maybe you should unlock phone by settool2?
I thought maybe it has something to do with the simlock certificate, so i tried Omnius Tool but the problem is, you need to check ''Unknown Sources'' which i can´t, cause the phone doesn´t boot at all!

Thanks Bares for Your suport!!! I´ve taken a look into all of these links & had hope again But as i read & eg. tried the flash tool provided in the first link (FOTA unbrick), ones again it didn´t work. The problem there was, i needed to have unknown sources checked which i can´t check, cause the devicedoesn´t & has never booted up before.
And for all the other links, I haven´t got an unlocked bootloader, it´s definately locked, so they couldn´t help. Thanks anyway!!! I wrote Sony a mail, but i guess they´re not going to respond.
Perhaps I should try to unlock my bootloader, if it´s possible, i don´t know.
What worked until now was flashing this firmware (X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_GERMANY with flashtool) but as Fera sugested me to do (exclude Kernel & check no final verification). This only works if the device is without battery for approx 30 min.
I think I also managed to flash Baseband & Kernel this way Ones.
But only when i checked no final verification! Still the device didn´t boot up.....
After a lot of trying & flashing & errors I´m done for today & will continue tomorrow
Good Night
I just gave the Kernel and Baseband another try (unchecked final verification) and that´s what happened:

In my opinion it looks ok but it still doesn´t boot
About above FOTA unbrick, i just wanna show you the similar problem on 2011 devices, it could be due to broken bootloader.
For us (2010 device), this could be happened due to improperly bootloader unlocking (see my post on Fera's discussion thread).
BUT, it still not 'dead' yet (i mean this just software related issue, not an hardware) , since S1Tool can to detected your .
BTW, have you tried to downgrade to 1.6 or 2.1 ?.

I'll try to down grade my device after work! I already tried the 2.1 version, I'll give the 1.6 later.
One thing I recognized was, that when I plug in the charger, there's no led on & I think it's not charging!
Talk to you later, peace & thanks!!!
