So hello to everyone, i have an problem with updating my Neo, so here's the deal... i got this phone before it came out so it's kinda prototype so i cannot update it with Pc Companion, it says my ip adress is not allowed to update... and with SEUS it says I have latest software installed on my phone, i tried flashing him with Wotan also but i stuck at Booting phone part and that part stays for hours and nothing happens... so please help.... thanks in forth
its prototype !
I don't know, if it can be fixed with usual methods, but try Flashtool ?
i know it's prototype,
but i can't find FTF. file anywhere
Then you haven't looked.... there are many posts like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258723
do you know any link for 4.0.2.a.62 that is kinda faster this one is too slow
looks like you killed it
you don't mess with prototypes unless you are 100% sure what you are doing. if wotan is having problem with flashing it, chances are you will have same problem after flashing it with flashtool.
Most of the prototypes can only work on fw which they already have in them. Unless it's branded(meaning it's running branded fw), don't try to replace it.
Good luck and tell us how did flashtool go.
i managed to flash it but it's on 4.0.a.42 so there's always that message that .62 is available so i want to download .62 and these downloads are so slow... prox. 6kb/per sec :S so it takes about 13 hours to download and three times it just stopped -.-' ..... so if any of you knows any faster way please ... this is my second prototype.. i managed to flash xperia x8 too so i got no problems with flashing prototypes

Hey guys.. i have a big problem with my X10
I wanted to flash back to the newest generic 2.1 (I had the newest rooted 2.1) .. turns out it wasnt such a smooth ride..
I used the "X10 Flash Tool" and the newest generic 2.1 rom from this thread
Everything went fine, no error messages but now my X10 will not boot.
When I turn it on I feel the phone vibrate for a split second as usual and then the phone's backlight keeps turning on and off and nothing happens.
I tried reflashing it with SEUS; Also no error messages and the update completed but still the same.
Is my phone bricked or is it worse?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Try reflash with THIS
Thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately it didn't work.. Flashing completed without any errors again but still I have the same problem..
Any other suggestions?

I will try that, thank you.
But, isnt the repair function in PC Companion practically the the same as reflashing with SEUS?
Fixed it!
Before I started this topic I had searched the forum for my problem but did not find anything. Just a moment ago i ended up at a thread here at xda (via google) with someone who had the same problem (XperiaX10User, you tried to help him to) and "Vazelos" posted a reply with a link to the "ROOT_F3v3.rar" by jerpelea.
I only did step 1 and got it working again.
1.6
R1FA014
(1.6 feels smoother then 2.1 )
did you update it to 2.1 again or steel using 1.6?
you've could also use davincyteam website, there you can buy the original rom. it's cost me about 15 dollars to have the old useless android 1.6. this is when you are really desperate.... hope it helped. : )
I may have posted in the wrong section and before you say there are topics covering this ive tried everything and im at my wits end!
I had a custom 2.2 ROM loaded on my Xperia for months but due to battery life issues i decided to upgrade to 2.3 (Wolf's) without doing much research.. Had i learnt that i needed to upgrade xRecovery to the latest release i wouldnt be in this dilemma.
I did the usual stuff when loading a new ROM but when loading the 2.3.3 ROM it failed.
Now when the phone starts up i get nothing but the SE logo!
Ive tried reflashing.
Ive tried using SEUS/PCC to update my phone - Which to no avail will the program recognize my phone for longer than 10 seconds.
Ive also tried SeTool2 and cant get my head around that.
If anyone has a fast easy fix for an idiot like me please point me in the right direction!
Should also add that i cant access xRecovery.
I am not trying to highjack this post but i am in the same position my phone is stuck in a loop on the black screen with the se logo.Flash tool or the se update service "sees" it for about 10 seconds not long enough to do anything.Please can anybody help?
A quick update i have sorted it i left it on se update and some how it went in to repair mode and i now have a working x10 again.The se repair didnt seem to be doing anything it just said please wait but i switched it on and it worked now i have to root it again lol
I think you should flash stock ROM 2.1 via flashtool, root and flash Xcr. Afterwards, you can follow the WOLF's instructions to flast TW ROM. Remember flash baseband .71
So i tried those things and still havn't gotten anywhere!
I cant flash the only thing i can do with flashtool is change the baseband and thats not very helpful to me atm!
I just wish there was an easy fix but apparently there isnt

Read Wolf's thread!!!
You HAVE to change the baseband, otherwise it won't work! You need baseband .71, which is included in the flashtool package he says to use...

Guys.. try this.. maybe you doing it at the wrong way.. i tried this on my x10 and it work.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6CMmZ62G3s&feature=youtube_gdata_player
First of all sorry for not replying sooner as i have been very busy, i have to agree with hr7 i used the Sony Ericsson PC Companion and clicked on repair
Hi everybody,
First of all, if I am in any way repeating something written somewhere else, I am sorry but I am quite newbie here and, even if I searched around this forum, I couldn't find any info about my specific problem.
This said, to the problem!
I have an Xperia Neo (europe) with 2.3.3 Android and yesterday I was signaled of a OTA update available. I then switched on Wifi, connected the phone to the power cable and started the update. After downloading everything, the phone rebooted and showed me an updating screen.
After a while, though, the phone turned off and....well, it didn't turn on anymore!
No sign of life from the battery led either!
Now, after some stunned panicking seconds, I started googling and came at this thread:
http://www.techofweb.com/technology/recovering-bricked-xperia-flashtool.html
and downloaded the last version of Flashtool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
and the latest stock firmware ( MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_GLOBAL.7z ) from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258723
....I tried to flash the firmware with FlashTool and the operation completed, but when I try to turn the phone on now I just see a quick green blinking of the power led and then nothing else.
I tried to take out the battery, and also tried to flash an older (2.3.3) firmware, but the problem didn't go away.
Now, the phone is in warranty, not rooted and everything....I could bring it to Sony, but it would take 15 to 30 days to them, so I just wandered if there was anything I was doing wrong and that, if corrected, could save me a lot of time and efforts.
Thank you guys a lot!
Bye!
you downgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 ?
If so then you get 0% battery issue... Search about it in this forum

Downgrading to 2.3.2 causes battery issue...back to 2.3.3 no one reported battery problems.

thanks in advance...
Try reading the previous post in this thread?
I'd be surprised if flashing firmware with Wotanserver won't fix it. Just go to wotanserver.com, follow the steps and flash.
Before u flash using flashtool or wotanserver, makesure u hold the back button while connect to usb until the green LED appear.
I have a problem with my phone one day to another calls are heard almost nothing too low can not find the problem and return to the original rom and nothing stays the same even prodian please help thanks..
Have you tried re-flashing your chosen rom?
Flashtool guide here...

Or...
If you want to return to your original rom but you cant, then maybe think about starting all over again from stock rom. Then you can flash to whatever you like from a nice clean install
You can do this using several methods...
PC companion...

Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS)...

He guys. I've been trying to sort my friends X10i that's stuck on the boot screen displaying either the Sony Ericsson logo or a camera icon with an arrow pointing down towards an image of the phone,
He told me he tried to update the phone with SEUS and it switched off half way though. Since then it just hangs at boot as described above.
I have tried using SEUS. The phone is recognized and the process goes all the way to 100% but when I try and reboot after completion it just hangs again. Interestingly every time I connect it to SEUS it tells me there is new software available.
I have also tried using FlashTool 0.9.8.0 and these ROMS:
Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_GLOBAL-GGL_GENERIC_1232-9897
X10_1.0_SE_StockRom_MultiTouch
Like SEUS, FlashTool reports that ROM flashing was successful and ask me to reboot but the same thing happens. It hangs.
My friend bought the phone second hand and so has no idea if it was running a stock or custom ROM or had a locked or unlock bootloader.
I've searched high and low on the forums for an answer and can't find one.
Can anyone help?
try flashing the doom kernel from flashtool
Hey finalbillybong dont despair, all is not lost.....yet
First be sure the phone is fully charged - like overnight....
Try playing around with flashtool... its quite powerful... go to 'help/ check drivers' and see what happens.
Just be sure to flash the right kernel (its easier to .ftf files) for the right rom. Some work really well together and some are just o.k. If unsure search the forums - i know its painful but read all the noob stuff.
Here are some links - some are fairly old but the principle is the same - just search the forums for updated versions/software.
