Hi guys!
I have some problems with my X10i. First it all started with me wanted to go back to a previous backup with xRecovery. All this went wrong and got a message in xrecovery that it was not able to load sd-card. And then it was stuck on Sony Ericsson boot screen.
I got it flashed now, with Android 2.3, and wanted to root and install xRecovery, but when I start my phone and connect it to my comuter, it reboots. It wont stay on with USB connected to PC, so long till I can root.
I'm getting pretty irritated now.
What is wrong?
Hope you guys can help, and sorry for bad english.
Revert back to stock f/w pal u should be fine

Thank you for your answer.
But do you mean to restore to 2.1? When I downloaded flashtool I got 2.1 with the program, do you mean to restore with this flash that came with flashtool program?
Flash
Try fix it with seus
Okay.. I updated my phone to newest, 2.3.3.
After I had updated the sony program said that I had to wait for my phone to reboot and not take out my battery for the first time, but my phone did not reboot. Nothing happend after I disconnected the phone. When I pressed the power button it only blinked green one time, so I took out my battery and rebooted.
Everything went fine in the beginning, couple of reboots that I expected after new software, but now my phone reboots and reboots. Sometimes I can't even get to the screen where I unlock my phone before it reboots. And even thou when charging, it reboots.
Omg.. so frustrating!!!
Please help! Should I restore to 2.3 or the 2.1 that came with flashtool program?

Hi everybody.
I have this weird problem. The phone does not start after upgrade to 2.1.
I have tried all ROMs for 2.1. Any 1.6 Rom works just fine. Whenever I flash 2.1 (either directly with flasher available on the forum or update through seus) the phone only vibrates once when I press the power button. Any 1.6 ROM works. Any 2.1 does not. Did anyone have this problem and if so are there any ways to solve this issue?
Thanks
simply repair it with PC Companion.
That did not help. All it does is that it flashes the phone like SEUS, it seems.
bumb anybody?
It does take an abnormally long time to load the first time but im assuming that you have waited a great deal. It doesnt make sense that it wouldnt load any of them unless there was some user error...

I left the phone overnight 3 times. Last time it drained all the battery from 90% to zero. 2.1 did not boot. I thought I completely bricked the phone because it would not charge without the working ROM. I went to a store with a laptop, borrowed their battery and flashed 1.6 and it booted right away. I have tried everything. I don't know what can be wrong.
By abnormally long how long do people usually wait untill the phone boots after flashing 2.1? 10-20 min?
Out of curiosity I flashed boot.sin from 1.6 with 2.1 f/w. Now I do see Sony Ericsson image on the screen but it reboots every minute or so. So maybe it's the bootloader that isn't compatible with my phone
I think the 2.1 gives the option to do a full wipe correct? Make sure you are doing that. I flashed to nordic 2.1 when it popped on the forums but i never had any problems so im kinda shooting in the dark at this one.
And by long time i mean 5+ mins for the boot. Nothing too outrageous.
Has the update been released for your area or are you with me on att? If your in another area many of the phone stores will flash it for you. Just an option.

Where does it give an option to fully wipe the phone? in the flasher I did wipe user data. I did use 2.1 before, but it would sometimes not boot at all. So I removed the battery and it booted. Sometimes it took 20 min to startup. Now it doesn't at all. I think there's something wrong with the phone, why 1.6 is working tho?! Very strange...
x10 was running on freex10 beta 3, and then i wanted to try gingerbread, so i downloaded it, flashed baseband using flashtool 0.2.5 and when i unplugged phone, se splash screen comes up and nothing else, android does not boot, i have tried flash with some nordic rom but it did not help. what can i do ? help
Run Sony ericsson update service on your phone.

Seus does not working...failed
Use updated flashtool (0.2.6)
Not really possible that the green light doesn't show up when u press the back key and plug it in... could u go into xRecovery?
finally seus done it well, but after a few sessions. regards
for other users that might have the same problem:
flash mode will not work unless the battery is well charged (in my case battery had to be over 50%). so:
don't panic.
turn off phone completely (if it won't exit from the boot loop, remove battery for few seconds).
plug in charger and let it charge for couple hours. try flashing.
i was stuck with this issue one long night
Dis something similar and I'm seeing the same result, battery was at about 40-50% when I flashed it. I plugged the charger cable in but there is no light indicating that its charging, and I can't get back into xRecovery , anyone have any suggestions? I'm also at work and we work on macs here, is there any mac osx compatible tool out there that can bring my x10 back to life?
Anyone know what I need to do to fix this? Phone doesn't boot up past the sony ericsson screen and seus/pc companion will connect but won't flash the global generic 2.1 and I can't get flashtool 2.9.1 to flash the x10 generic 2.1.A.0.435 either? I updated Wolfbreaks CM 6.1.3 V05 + update V054 to his new V06 update. I got alot of force closes so i attempted to wipe everything and flash Generic 2.1.A.0435 so after that i did reboot flashed Wolfbreaks V05 + update V06 and reboot, restored apps and data using MyBackup + root and Titanium + root then started having force closes again so i thought i would forget this update and go back to V05 + update 054 since it works great. that is when i did a reboot to enter Xrecovery but the phone wouldn't enter Xrecovery and is now stuck on the sony ericsson boot screen. The only way to turn it off is to pull the battery. I haven't seen any red led lights on the phone at all. Anyone have any advice? I'm stuck. if any needs more info just ask.
Btw is this what "soft bricking" a X10 is? that's what i was told.
guys I was able to finally get my phone to stay in flash mode long enough to prepare my X10 using SEUS after trying about 50 times. It didn't completely finish the update/flashing of Global 2.1 before giving me a error but i believe that the "preparing stage" was able to help get the phone to stay in flash mode longer because the green light wouldn't stay on very long. So i was beginning to think i had a bad usb jack on the phone, luckily that wasn't it. I also tried Flashtool 2.9.1 with no success. I then got the idea to try my the older 2.6 flashtool that i still had on my computer and to my surprise it worked. I was able to flash generic 2.1.A.0.435 firmware, root, optimize and Xrecovery. I talked to The Gingerbread Man and he directed me to his X10 guide which is where i got the idea to try the 2.6 flashtool. Oh and I am pretty sure what i did wrong was restoring data after flashing the V06 update. Wolfbreak specifically states NOT to restore data ONLY apps which i didn't see at first. Hope this helps anyone that has experienced these symptoms because i didn't find any posts of my exact situation when i was searching for answers.

dude chill out, our beloved x10 is unbrickable till date..!!
make sure you have prover usb drivers for x10 to be recognized by flashtool!!
if yes make sure you're entering the flash mode correctly..!!
ok. Question. I have the same problem, my X10 had the new CM7 k005 on it. then I tried to flash back to bb 49 to put Trips 2.3.3 on it. flashed the back to stock kernel. NOW. all I get is re-boot re-boot, finally all it does is stay on the se screen with no love at all from seus??? And it wont go into xrecovery at ALL
HEEEEELLLPPP MMMEEEEEEEEEEE
Seus picks up the in flash mode.
Get Seus ready "select your phone.."
Just switch off your phone.
Hold "back" & Plug in the usb into the phone at the same time.
A green LED should show.
Then after it has flashed the phone might act a bit "glitchy" just give it a few hours to settle the Baseband.
isnt there already a million topics about people bricking x10s, its impossible the x10 cannot be bricked....search the forum
yeah there is but this was the first one I found to hijack!! anyway, I had to keep prssing update about ten times on seus before it got sick of me and gave me another option of which phone I was trying to repair!! thats how bad I had it stuffed up.
Anyhoo, a while later and it is all good!!
hi guys. my x10 froze at se boot and does nothing. i've read through almost all helpfull threads that are similar to my problem but the problem still persist. fyi, i booted to xrecovery, made a backup and i noticed that there were problems in backing up (md5 chcksum, i think). but the backup file was created. i restored using that file and now it is stuck at boot. i can't even turn the phone off. i've tried hard reset, tried using the sues, flashtoo and even pc tools but to no avail. this is due to the phone can't connect to usb. can anyone please help me.
You have do a factory reset and wipe cache?
how can i do that andres3d? are there any way for me to do that? i'm trying but the phone just can't go past the se boot. it's just stuck there. i can't even turn the phone off. the only way is to take out the battery.
Try this, enter into xrecovery and select "factory resect" first at all, then reboot.
I got stuck there too, and I haven't the xRec installed
You can download the SE Update Service (SEUS) and flash the original rom back to it.
Download the software and install, take off the battery, wait a little bit (30s or so), insert the battery back. DO NOT TURN ON THE PHONE YET.
Open the SEUS, choose the phone (X10) and click 'go', or 'ok', or whatever. Keep going and the software will tell you to plug the phone. Plug the phone turned off. When it's plugged, turn it on holding the back button until the software tells you to release.
Wait a few moments... and it's done. Turn on your phone, it should take a little longer to boot, but it's just the first time, then it boots normally.
It's quite easy to do when you know what to do
thanks in advance but i've tried both method and it still got me nowhere. first, i can't boot to xrecovery at all and second, the sues doesn't even detect my phone.
Did you try download a stock firmware from here and install by flashtool?
Do you have installed drivers from x10 to your PC?
I thing the only way is by flashtool, because you don't have xrecovery access l.

Hi all
Unfortunetly my case is 99% similiar as "Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10XPERIA X10 Q&A[Q] {HELP} another x10 stuck at se boot" but changing the cables doesn't help. The only thing which the phone respond is to hold back starting of booting what immidietly happening when i'm connecting the usb cable.
I had xrecover installed before but is not starting onto flashing mode.
Any ideas
Hi everyone
yesterday I bought a X10 (it wasn't brand new)
I turned it on and it asked me for settings (language, time, etc) (yeah it's not new but they changed the rom before sell it to me)
I worked with it for like 10-15min and I got a big vibrate and it turned off. I pluged it into the charger, there was an orange led for 5min and then nothing, when I tried to turn the phone on I saw SE logo and it restarted. I plugged it to the charger, nothing again, not even orange led
I took it to a store and they shocked the battery, i came back, turned it on, it booted ok everything was fine,I plugged it again to full charge. orange led for 1.5h and then green led.I worked with it a short time then turned it off to put the sim and sd card in
when I turned it on it booted till lock screen and rebooted. again SE logo then boot again
it sometimes boot till lock screen sometimes only se logo and reboot
when it goes to lock screen I see antena has red x on it, i thought maybe that's the problem, i removed sim and sd, still the same
Please please please help me
ps 1: I can't connect it to the pc, I tried but when pc wants to recognize it and install drivers, it stops and says "not successful"
Have a look in the dev section for flashtool (there's a tutorial in the q&a section), look in the firmwares sticky in the dev section and download the firmware for your region. I suggest you pick a generic firmware. Now use flashtool to flash the firmware to the phone.
This should solve the problem.
thank you Frosty for fast answer
but my problem is my pc dosen't recognize the phone
flashtool works even without drivers?
Flashtool works in flash mode. If you can't get your computer to recognise the phone when it is powered on, it should still recognise it in flash mode. If not, there is an option in flashtool to install the drivers.
Sent from my x10, rocking Wolf's 2.3.3 + DooMKernel, overclocked to 1.2 GHz...
good, so I think I still have a chance to fix it
btw, now I have stock 2.3.3 installed
which rom do you recommend? should I install 2.3.3 again or downgrade to 2.1?
I want it to support farsi
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
is right?
You could do 2.3.3 or 2.1. It shouldn't matter.
As for Farsi support, 2.1 supports more languages than 2.3.3 I think. I just checked the list of available languages on my 2.3.3 ROM and Farsi isn't listed. 2.1 might support it.
You could always try both to see which one better suits your needs.
That firmware you have is 2.3.3, by the way.
thank you so much frosty
I asked if i could install 2.3.3 because now have 2.3.3 and i have this problem. installing same version will fix it?
and one question about baseband
should i download one or it comes in firmware pack/zip
if I have to download it, how do I know which one?
Your're welcome.
Oh, in that case, you should be fine.
The baseband is included in the firmware file.
I'm facing a weird problem
I can't turn my phone on, I've been told to try flashtool and install a new rom
my old rom was 2.3.3
I downloaded flashtool and X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUSTOMIZEDARO-ARO GENERIC 1241-1846
first time I tried instrudoction in second post in this topic. it seems flashtool recognized my device and startet flashing but after a few min it said flash aborted
I wanted to try again but this time even before i connect the device to usb cable, flashtool say flashing start and nothing happen
I also tried SE update service, it downloaded the rom and it seem it worked (second green bar went to the end and said disconnect phone and restart)
I restart the phone but it reset after SE logo, sometime it boot till lock screen and reset again
Please help me
Sorry to say this, but you might be out of luck.
If re-flashing stock couldn't fix it, your issue may be a hardware problem.
Do you have any sort of warranty? If it's second hand, you probably don't.
You could try taking it to a Sony Ericsson service center and see if they can do anything.
omg
I'm officially beeeeeep
thanks anyway Frosty
btw, pc campanion and se update service do something different
is it possible that pc companion can fix it?
Well you could try. Couldn't hurt.
