PC companion is working great and i can update and repair the phone through it, storage also working without any problems, the only thing is not working is the flash tool and xrecovery installer on the phone keeps force close!

i think i remember what`s your problem.
open regedit on you pc (with phone connected) and serach for
"DeviceInstance"
this will give yo usomething like this
"USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\5&1a93e808&0&1"
copy the last part. in my case 5&1a93e808&0&1
open deviceID on 2.1_2.0.A.0.504_GENERIC_x10i folder that you`ve downloaded and paste your DeviceInstance.
then try again
If this is not the case note that I had same issue and I have reinstalled the usb drivers ...(attached). I have Xp but I belive they will work on other sistems (win).If you can not manage to reinstall drivers just say. Good luck
please tell me how to install the attached folder?
on what sistem?
First the folder contains a driver and I am going to explain the installation on win XP. In Device Manager in Xp find the SEMC HSUSB Device, right click and update driver. Select Install from a specific location and next, select don't search I will chose the driver to install and click next. In the next screen select Have disk and browse to the folder extracted from the archive you downloaded , after that click next and finish. It should work and find your x10 ...if not post one more
P.S: do all this with your phone connected to the comp with debugging on and with the sd not mounted
Windows XP pro SP3
i tried three times to update the driver with downloaded folder but it gives me the specified location does not contain information about your hardware after i select the downloaded folder
any other driver would help?
Ok. Try with this archive...maybe it will give you an error when unrared but it worked for me. I did not upload this archive first because of that error , this is the original one . Try
Try to right click-> install the " .inf " file in the folder first if you can not find it ....
nothing worked for me, maybe its a windows XP issues, i'm trying my other laptop which has windows 7 and hope it will work
nothing worked please help me!

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!)

Thank you both for your replies and giving me more knowledge on flashing androids

Mimmi is back to normal special thanks to domics for suggesting me to use pc companion..
thank you!
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

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...

You can root via Flashtool only by flashing an Old kernel then using Rootkit (in the link above) after its done. flash back new kernel..
I.e putting Your phone into flash mode then flash the kernels

I've tried doing that over the last 2 days too, flashing to .559 works but makes my phone slow as fk but it is usable.
The main problem I am having is with the Rootkit, I am getting adb errors etc, I will take a screenshot once I've done another attempt. Feel free to answer this if you do know how to fix it or just have something in mind, I'll be back in 2 hours.

I did everything you said and found out the real issue, I had 2 adb's connected, well, one virtual (bluestacks) and since it was listed first on the adb devices, I had to uninstall it. It is true that there isn't lag after installing a fresh copy of the .54 & then flashing to .599. Thank you for helping.
Hello,
I have a Sony Xperia U and I try to install a new firmware but I can't.
When I use flashtool, i have this message :

- ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0026";ERR_DYNAMIC="08 : TA flush failed";
I tried to re install the drivers, to change the cable, to change the firmware, to use an other version of flashtool but it didn't work. I had already installed 3 firmwares before without any problem.
My phone is out of use, the apps keep closing, i cannot delete or save things on my phone because when I switch it on, it comes back to the previous setting.
My bootloader is locked and i can't unock it because of my rooting status is "NOT allowed" (operator...).
These past 3 weeks i couldn't use my phone, please help me!
Thank you

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I already tried with PC Companion and SEUS, it tells me to try again and again. I can't even get my backups, and I can't update the software.

In what stage exactly does PCC tell you to try again, does it begin the flash process and fails(after you connect with volume up) or before?

When I use PCC, it downloads the update, then it tells me to disconnect my phone, to switch it off (and wait 5 s), then connect it with the button - (volume down) pressed.
After few seconds "an error had occured" and it proposes me to try again. It is the error number 100. So I think the flash process fails after the connection.
When I use flashtool, it's the same : after connecting the phone with the volume down button pressed, the error "flush failed" above appears.
I noticed that i cannot delete nor add any file in my phone, maybe the problem comes from the storage? Even when I restore the factory defaults, nothing happens, i still have the apps.
Thanks for helping me
