To use SEUS properly, you have to run the program, wait until it prompts you to connect the phone then turn the phone off, wait 30 seconds then connect the phone while holding down the back button. The LED will light up green and SEUS will move onto the next step. My PC is a bit old and will only recognise the phone after a few tries but it does eventually. The PC at work does it first time.
SEUS will check the software on your phone and then say that you already have the latest software available. Instruct it to put the software back on anyway then sit back and wait. When it's done, your phone will be as good as new.
You will lose the contents of the phone's internal memory, but not the stuff on the sdcard. But you followed the instructions when installing your rom and backed up first anyway, right?
This is what's known as a soft brick, when the phone doesn't get past the kernel logo (the Sony Ericsson text). It's a pain but it's easily fixed.
Check that you're following the above steps and, if it's still not working, let us know!

Hello ticklefish,
Yes i've done the steps above, .also with pccompanion to repair it. .it doesn't recognize too. .i already brick it at first, then i fixed it with seus, .i tried to install the gingerdx v21 . .
I'll give you a brief background why i brick my phone, . .I install the v21 ,then i reboot it after then, .all the stuffs really work great! ,i've done factory reset full wipe in clockworkmod. .the problem occurs when i rebooted, i've waited a couple of minutes then it stuck in the bootloop "sony ericsson text". .any other suggestion? I also tried x++ but i fail. .how do i fix my phone?
Thanks

if you have the white se logo and cant boot into xrec there is another way to get into xrec and restore backups rather than a SEUS
1) connect your phone to a charger and wait till it goes onto battery icon
2)then hold the power button for a moment till it vibrates
3)do whatever you need to do in xrecovery
if this helped you dont be afraid to thank me
Mods: if this method has allready been posted please delete this thread
That's actually a neat tip, thanks
Thats allright hope it helps zou in one of those download brick no pc to SEUS argh no phone!!!!

Hi there...
With Sony Update Service i have unbricked my Phone *happy* ;-)
THX for your HELP!!!!
I just realised why this may not be working for some people
If you have a rom without offline charging then this will be impossible to do this requires a rom which supports offline charging

folks! I bricked my phone while updating it from seus and reason was dat MY USB CABLE WAS LOOSE AND MY PHONE GOT DISCONNECTED nw on restart it shows sony ericcson logo just for a second and den shows a pic where a triange(and inside it an exclamation mark is shown) is placed over a phone's picture.
I've tried seus and flashtool and both detect my phone as long as that sony ericson logo is shown and dats just for a second.
I was using cwm recovery and had made a backup of the custom rom. And nw i cant acces my cwm coz the se logo flashes so shortly dat i am nt able to open cwm.
NEED HELP GUYS!!!
Also i want to know dat can the sony ericsson service center help me..by software installation or by changing the hardware which stores the flash memory. Plz help me i'm nt ready to throw this phone away.
Thanks.

Thanks buddy.. But Flash tool does not detect my device. I've installed gordons gate.. But still.. I think Flash tool does not get enough time to detect my phone. I hear a usb connection sound and SE logo flashes for less then a second and i hear a usb disconnection sound den the ! is seen and den phone shuts down.

Don't give up yet. I know this problem. Uninstall Gordon's Gate. Install Sony Ericsson PC Companion (again if installed) and try using FlashTool again. This error on your phone means that the files are corrupted, maybe because a flash you tried was interuppeted unexpectedly. Your phone is not dead yet (probably your USB port has some problems and caused all this), it must be restorable.
Try and tell me if it worked.

No dont throw it just yet, I had almost the same. Ut unsure what caused it,it was 1st time flashing it, but spent 24hrs looking though solutions but it worked, similar to what lea sez...a new dl of sony comp and re-updated it using there latest u.d. Then used flashtool and reinstalled xrecovery with it as it stopped letting me open it..took a few trys but ws ok once sony companion recd my phone an reinstalled xrec.the update in sony comp I think wasnt in clear view its in the support stn..went back to stock 2.1.

You have a faulty xrecovery installed mate!
Use SEUS to repair. Flashtool to root.
Once done, let me know. I have a safe, simple way of installing xrecovery (that works).

Hi mate thanks alot for helping me!
Just to let you know..I used the Flashtool couple of times before and it always worked. (even it said that it worked when I did backup)
I still got some questions before I do what you told me:
When I will use SEUS to repair - will it install the stock rom on my device?
Do you think that the flashtool did backup my current version and data?
and..after I'll install xrecovery again..will I have my last "restores"? (will I be able to restore?) because the info there might be more expensive to me than the device itself.
Thanks alot again!! I will start working on it as soon as you will answer me please again A.S.A.P.

Ups backup is required for ur pc so that in case ur current goes off in midway you dont endup in bricking ur fone.
Yes ftf needs to be placed inside firmwire folder.
Open flashtool.re.keep it running.
Shut down your phone ,connect the data cable to phone,keep the back button pressed and insert the data cable to usb port. Your led will turn green. Goto flash and browse firmwire folder to select the ftf file.
Enjoy flashing!!!

"in case my current"=my pc turns off? quit the process in midway? i didnt really understand.
i cannot shut down my phone because its turning on and off automaticly till SE screen..
i figured out how to flash by conecting in without the battery and, press back button while puting on the battery (i hope it will work)
"flashtool.re.keep" -what this means?
but my main problem now is that i cant know what is my battery status (you need at least 50%- so i cant flush untill i find a solution for that..)
any help please??
Tnaks!!

I mean, ups is required so that evem your power supply/electricity goes off, you can carry on your work.
You can use external battery charger to charge your battery only.
Before flashing,pull out your battery...as you said.
Last resort: if all fails, go to se service center, they will repair it. They use the same pc companion. When i tried to flash my fone earlier,i was a dumb fella. I bricked it. Took it to service center and got it fixed.
Before flashing, watch doomlord's video of flasing at least 4 times. Then read the instructions and flash, keep the video running and pause at required places. This is how i flashed successfully on next instance.

Hi mate if you think you backed up properly from xrecovery and it still in sd card, use card reader to retrieve it to pc. The file should be under sdcard/xrecovery/backup/xxxxx.zip. then try recover it from working phone with xrecovery. Hope this help n good luck.

Please use search tab all is there.Take your time and read.
thks for your time, itried all methods mentioneh in the posts but nothing work, for this reason i need help thks...
I installed a Rom that went wrong and had to use flashmode with sony's update program, not sure how it's called these days. I if you install that and plug it into the pc holding down the Back button, it recognizes it and will all you what you want to do. Select restore (or something similar). It'll restore it back to 2.3.3. After that you can install xRecovery again with flash tool.
Be aware that this worked for my semi bricked X10i, no guarantee it'll work for you ofcourse.......good luck

in SEUS you have to click the "repair" option, that should do it
I have the same problem.
I've rebooted from CWM recovery after a new rom installation, and it told me that the recovery was broken.
So I choose to repair it but it didn't work.
I tried few times (5 or 6) and, at the end, I decided to switch off the phone and reboot.
Since then my phone is stacked on the Sony Ericsson Logo, it'is impossible to connect it using the "back" button and it is impossible to use SUSE properly I guess 'cause I tried but it does not recognize the phone.... I tried with an hard reset (Home+power) but it shuts down and then again it stacks.
Obviously the back button does not allow me to go on recovery mode....

1st, have you tried connecting your phone via flash mode to flashtool ? Can flashtool detect it ? Because, if your phone can enter sony logo, I think SEUS /flashtool will be able to detect it as well..
In case SEUS still fails but flashtool is able to connect,, try to install nAa latest kernel (I suggest to redownloading it), since it contains recoovery as well..
Hopefully that helps..
