Is it possible to force firmware - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to force the firmware onto the X10i, as I can't turn it on and the update via pc companion and SEUS keeps failing. I have the proper vodafone Ireland firmware in ftf file. I don't know if Unknown sources and USB debugging is turned on. I tried to flash it and this is what it said:

Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried rebooting it from there? What did you get? I get those messages even when flashing has succeeded sometimes ...

Hi, yeah I tried rebooting, its getting really annoying now lol
I joined in on this thread last week which might put a bit more light on
the subject: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516613
I only found the proper firmware today online, going to keep trying, cos if I send
it to SE as they suggest I don't know how much it will cost as I'm not sure if it's still
in warrenty.

Have you tried pc companion and started it off with phone unconnected,then update/repair/select phone/continue/then connect phone like itll then ask/visit website if it asks..

Yeah done that lol

[Q] Problems with Flash Tool

Hello guys, this is what happened to me yesterday. I wanted to flash stock ics to my SXS via flashtool. The problem was that flash tool got stuck at 2% so I thought I needs some time and left it there for quite some time, when I came back it was still at 2%. I didn't see any other option to unplug my phone. When I powered it on sony boot logo appeared and a phone with exclamation mark. I tried to repeat flash process and got the same result. Tried with 2 different pc-s, different usb ports/cables and older versions of flash tool. Still the problem is there :S
Any solution to this?
P.S Oh one more thing I can flash kernel successfully and I did, I actually can get into recovery and restore, but unfortunly problems remains.

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

Okay so downloaded and used the latest flashtool to flash the stock rom (aro 2.3) .. the error i got was:
16/020/2012 05:20:23 - ERROR - Read error :31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning.
16/020/2012 05:20:23 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
please help
Is ur device booting into recovery at least or ntn at all? A similar thing had happened to my phone. Its not working in flash mode but the kernel was OK so I tried reinstalling my current ROM. Didn't boot 3 tries but 4th time I reinstalled it magically booted :-/

[Q] Neo L vibrates but screen stays black and battery heats

Hello, help needed pls
My problem:
-Neo L vibrates when switched on but the screen stays black and the phone heats progressively.
- while on, it happened 2 times that the screen got black during the day. I could take a call once by flipping my finger on the black screen(phone was ringing).
What I tried to solve the issue after reading the forums:
-charge the phone, remove sd and sim card and start the phone. (succeeded 4 or 5 times out of around 50tries in 5 days, doesn't work anymore)
-update the phone and delete all my downloaded apps during the few times where the phone managed to start (didn't help)
-Used Sony PC companion to repair the phone (didn't help).
What I did not do:
- i didn't try flashing whatsoever or mess with the phone in any way(it's my first android phone). Really.
-As far as I know the phone did not receive a choc that could have caused the problem.
- i didn't try calling underwater. Aside from humidity i can not see any cause there
Any idea on how to solve this issue or the cause of the problem would be very helpful. Thanks.
First way
Use my mega guide for neo L in my sig below
And head over to that thread and find unbrick in there !
If that doesn't help then it's mean u can either go to sony or sell it
It is 100% hardware faulty if unbrick doesn't help :angel:
Good luck
Second way
By the way use SUS ! Don't use that suck PC Companion !
SUS is always great

Hello, thanks for the quick answer,
If you don't mind I think i will start with the second way..looks more reasonable. By SUS you mean Sony ericson Update Service I guess.
I didn't try flashing the phone, if second way doesn't work, do you still think unbrick is appropriate? will it void my warranty (valid in a faraway country)?
Thanks

Unless u unlock BL then it will void your warranty !
I'd prefer flashtool over SUS ! :angel: In some case , what if your pc hang during downloading firmware via SUS ! What if it is in the middle of process ! For unbrick using flash method will be million time easier and save a lot of time !
How can flash ftf void your warranty ? Don't worry mate

So, here is first result at step 3 of flashing the device from flashtool:

25/023/2013 10:23:34 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
I installed flashmode driver after this, there was also drivers for different xperias but i didnt see the Neo L, was there just the flashmode driver to install manuall?
Anyway, second try gives this:

Plz check no final verification and see !
If not work then Reboot PC and install fastboot and flashmode driver in flashtool/driver ! There is no neo L driver so just install the 2 that i mentioned !
Plz note windows 8 cause some serious problem which i cant help ! If u r 7 then it is fine !
Hey Saingpor,
It seems the flash was successful. It said Flash successful but afterwards it said something like flashtool needs usb debugging and something else to be activated in order to work (which i can't check since the screen stays black).
So anyway, flash done, phone still not working. I tried changing the microsd and flashing again but with no result. Do you think that it's possible that this one time the phone fell over a month ago can be the cause of a hardware defect that affects the phone now? And if it's from origin, is it possible that the phone works perfectly for 3 months then suddenly stops working?
I don't get this. Anyway, thanks for your help.
