Hi,
first of all, sorry if thread's a duplicate, search didnt find similar.
My friend has a problematic X10i: shows green LED, vibrates, but doesnt boot, black screen. Can it be fixed? The computer sees the phone in recovery mode.
I have a USB cable and some experience gained with my X8. What can I do ? Is it fixable? Hardware or software problem?
Thank you
PS: Thats all the details he's given me over mess before he logged out. No, I didnt brake it. I dont have the phone in my possession. He offered to sell it to me for about $65-70 and I dont know if it is fixable.

You can use SE update service to update its software and fix it or you can flash a custom rom,
I think it doesn't a hardware problem..

tnx ... i try it but it didnt work
is the battery fully charged ?
normally if a flash has gone wrong a triangle hazard sign comes up on the screen
Use SEUS on a 32bit pc. leave your phone plugged into the charger for at least an hour before doing this. even if no lights come on just leave it charging. then run the update service exactly as it tells you. turn it on, and LEAVE it, it will figure itself out and reset
Its a software glitch had the same thing just remove the battery and start the phone repeat about 5-8 times then itll start but will not be stable so youll have to reflash it using seus. ive managed to find out that certain apps ****s the phone up even thuo its market ones.

It wasn't used in an offensive context so just move on. It wasn't meant as a rude statement at all, it was used in place of a gentler term and had the desired effect as far as I am concerned.
You could try booting into "safe mode" hold the "menu & back" button as soon as you switch it on and keep them pressed untoll you can see "safe mode" in the bottom left.
If this works it will allow you to remove anything that may be causing the failure to boot issue you have.
Let us know if this works.
Hi guys,
I recently bricked my X10a and have been having problems trying to connect it to my pc. I can get it into flash mode and connect it to my pc but when its plugged into my computer, FlashTool can't detect it and my computer can't either. Is there anyway I can check? if I have the proper drives? Also if I don't have it is there a way to download it? Thx in advanced.
Btw I'm using my freinds HTC G2 USB cable to connect it to my pc. Could this be effecting it? Do I need the official sony ericsson USB EP700? Thx for this as well.
Running windows vista home basic 32-bit
do you have seus the sony ericsson program on your computer?
I believe that will help you get the proper drivers when you install it.
its on the sony ericsson website under downloads.

Use SEUS i have the same and it helped me
I tried using seus but it won't read my phone at all. Unless I have a broken USB port on my phone It can charge but not connect to my computer.
Are you using a USB hub?
It's straight into my computer. Idk whats going on :\
Do you have a firewall or something similar installed? It might interfere with the connection if you have the firewall settings set to very high. Might need to specifically set permissions for it to have seus and the drivers run...
After doing some research I'm almost certain it is the cable. This cable is the official one from HTC and on further reading it says only compatible with HTC phones. But thank's for the help guys. I'm gonna but a new SE USB cable and hope it turns out good. I'll be back if anything goes amiss.
Come on... Tired to read "I bricked my x10" when you have 1% to really brick it, is this so hard to use correct words ??????????
Bricking is non-sense in x10, even with custom kernels... PSP CAN be bricked, a "real" brick, not x10.
It looks many people is new to this, there's no problem but it's very boring to read sensefull words for everything... These people definitely didn't live the period bricking was meaning something.

Bricking in the x10 world is the bootloop. When our bootloader gets cracked the meaning of it will change.

I agree, but bootloop is no way a brick.
Misunderstanding dogs and cats is pretty weird
Hopefully with loader hack we will give indeed a much more realistic meaning to what bricking is
I also learned that the hard way i guess.

No, you just need a plain USB cable. I have both the X10 and the HTC HD2 and I use the same USB cables between the two. No issues.
Hey! its hard to brick an X10.. maybe you have a lower battery problem. try to charge it fully with an a universal charger or another X10. and use another desktop,USB port. the cable must be an a micro USB only. its doesen matter if the cable comes from an HTC, Nokia or other device, it shoud work Remember the drivers.. hope it helps!

You have a broken USB port ! x10's disease !!!
You should return your X10 to a Sony Repair Center.
I upgraded my phone to official ics with pc companion. It was working perfectly about one month but then suddenly it bricked. yesterday I had low battery (3 %) and I pluged it in charger and left so and in the morning I saw it's charged and unpluged. but then in 5 min I went back to phone and I saw it's OFF. I wanted to start it and when I pushed power button only sony logo appeared and then black screen, then I removed battery and did that again (did so 2 times) and then when I inserted battery again and pushed power button it didn't react at all. no vibration no screen light. when I plug it to charger it doesn't react as well... so It doesn't react to any flashtool or smth.. please if you can,help me with it I'll really appreciate your help..
p.s I have locked bootloader and was always running official roms..
I think your the 3rd person this had happened on this site. But unfortunately, nobody has figured it out.
I may of had an idea, did you charge your phone under your pillow? As my gets really hot and discharges under mine. So I thought maybe yours had overheated and burnt out?

it was on the opened aria but I've checked already nothing is burned there.. but anyway thanks.. bad that it(brick) comes from nowhere and no solution so far....

Hmm, I had the same problem on my phone.
I just wiped batterystats and it worked fine.
Maybe try that?
Or check your usbcable, or change it.
Or do you use any third party usbcable?

have you tried changing the battery? try finding anyone of ur frens that have the ray and sway their full battery with yours. Since from your previous post seems like the battery didnt charge at all.
I think the problem with 4.0.3 (and cwm) is that sometime it can not charge while off. But I think your case might be different if it is not recognised at all. Can you try borrow someone battery?
I have some external battery charger and I'm charging battery with it but anyway thanks guys I'll try it today.. will find another ray battery..
guys I identified problem.. bootloader is dead.. but it can be repaired with a setool.. I'm connecting phone with using testpoints to pc and windows recognizes it but no other software.. just setool, for what I need some cards and it's paid.. so if somebody can help me with setool please contact me.. I'd really appreciate and will consider donation..

Hi, I have a bricked Ray. When booting y can see Sony logo and then a black screen.
No adb nor fastboot can see phone, Flashtool detects phone is connected but can not do any action. Can not acces recovery or bootloader
Is there any chance for me other than technical service?

Hello folks.
This time (2nd X10) I got myself a dead X10a from the trashcan. Shows all common hardbrick symptoms (blinking red led, vibrates once on powerup)
Though, it seems to be charging the battery, still enters flashmode, but fails to finish flashing, be it under SEUS, PCC or Flashtool. Is it repairable without a box? (got no access to a SETool, no techs in the city with one, either)
Could I use JTAG?
Or is it really dead in my hands? Is this a semcboot/TA/GDFS failure?
Also, label was peeled, are the testpoints under it useful?
Thanks in advance

Flashmode works but i cnat flash anything managed to find out it is lockedbootloader
seus wont do anything doesnt give me option of repairing....
Any help? wsoudl liek to get phone working...
I don't know what's wrong with your SEUS, because when I start SEUS, first I must choose phone model (X10i), then SEUS ask me to check that my phone isn't connected with PC, and was I backup everything, and was my phone charged over 50%. When I click NEXT button, I get asked to connect my X10i in Flashmode (by holding Back button while connecting USB cable with phone. Then SEUS check my phone for software version, and if there is available update for my phone. Because, there is no available update for my phone, SEUS ask me, if something wrong with my software etc., to reflash my phone with existing update.
And that's it. I always menage to reflash Stock Rom if something goes wrong with it.

In Flashtool thread, under Development section, you have many others complaining on Sin header verification. The main answer is that your ftf file may be corrupted, or you try to flash ftf file that isn't made for your phone or. ..

The phone came from holland and i tryed uk generic but didnt work:/
Uhh just dint let me repair it..
If the red light is blinking three times.....
Will post this Battery charge "fix" here for you.
This will work on any phone with removable battery. But don't blame me if you do something wrong......
If the red light is blinking thrice, it just means your battery is goind to be dead soon (or already dead may be). So, just put it on charger. I'm not saying it will solve the problem, but you will reach the stage where it blinks once. And then you should be able to charge the phone normal.
By putting on charger try charging like in this video.
Seams like if the battery is totally drained you cant use it in flashtool or seus.
If it did not help you then i might help any one else with battery that wont charge. Or if the phone has a broken usb port.

According to other people ho have tried it still charges when it stops blinking. After some time it should get to a steady red light though.
But don't you know any one else with a X10 so you can try that battery just so you know if it is something wrong with the phone as well?
