Hey,
'm curious to know, how many X10i are bricked, cause of any reason, just add your specific location, so we might help each other..
Here let's start with me:
Xperia Model:X10i
Bricked on: 5 March 2012
Location: Mumbai, India
Description: I had installed a custom rom and then I tried to install few apps, this was my 3rd custom rom and it crashed, didn't start ever after that..
Use seus or pc companion to repair

Dear laneyofdeath,
Pls read few of my previous posts, I've tried all possible methods to put life back into that x10...............
It doesn't work..........!!!!
Did u try flashtool? I can only see one post by the way it doesn't mention seus

I had the same problem as you recently.
Lost xrecovery, phone not booting, flashtool not seeing phone...
The only thing that fixed it was the flasher at wotanserver.com - someone mentioned it in a post here on XDA.
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/
Its free but you have to sign up...but it is well worth the 2 minutes.
Its all automatic, select your phone and thats it.
It flashes back to GB2.3.
Then you can use flashtool to go where you want from there.

If you say youve tried all possible methods-then the phones knackered.If it was me I would have
Try a different battery
Hardwire a battery
Try using a different pc
Try every version of flashtool
Try x10 flasher
Leave battery out for a while
Then after trying several times some of the above,and still nothing,It would go for repair or on eBay

If you're on locked BL then it's not bricked
Just use SEUS or Flashtool (with a 2.3.3 FTF) to go back to stock 2.3.3.
hi Underling,
I've tried
Try a different battery : Yes, done..same thing
Hardwire a battery: don't know how to do it (tries google, didn't get it, can you please enlighten)
Try using a different pc: Yes, done..same thing
Try every version of flashtool: Yes, done
Try x10 flasher: Trying, to work on it..............flasher, you meant to say wotonclient 3.8.0, correct me, if 'm wrong ?
Leave battery out for a while: Done

What is the ROM or firmware the phone is on? Is the phone rooted, which baseband, and which xrecovery version if you have it? Info like that will help more people help you solve that problem.

Tell me how you are using flashtool, like, which folder are you putting generic firmware.
It should be in the firmware folder.
If you have it in the right folder. What are the error messages saying in flashtool?
Do you know how to put the phone in flash mode for flashtool?
Which version of flashtool do you have?

I always hate saying this but i think you have something wrong with your phone's hardware. Flashtool should have fixed that problem. Have you tried pc companion or seus yet?
If that doesnt, you definetly have a problem. I hate to give you bad news.

could the reboots and apps crashing caused by battery?
I myself have same issue, regards battery i read somewhere a guy had a reboot, crash problem, he bought a 2500mA bat and claimed no more issues? So i think if battery over a two year age then maybe time for new, maybe somewhere these bats cnt handle the sudden power requirements required any longer, i have 4 bats, each oldr than 3 years at least. Anyone knw a place in za that one cd purchase a stronger amperage bat? I cd imagine a hardware issue, bt then why do so many work perfectly but some kp dn this? I have rd many complaints regards this phone. If it still is crashing i wdnt exactly call it anywhere near fixed? Bt im sitting with this prob, and im baffled, bt i still think a stronger batry wd be the 1st solution.

Every time I flash the cell just powers on then nothing, Ive left it for upwards of 2hrs with nothing. When I update to 2.3 it hangs in a boot loop at the SE logo.
as chris sed, flash tool should work in all circumstances. jus a few questions, when u used flashtool did it succesfully flash with no errors, did u make sure u had enuff battery to flash (50% is recommended). if u had no errors with flashtool and u had enuff battery than i cant see y not it hasnt worked.

If any one can recomend a 2.3 rom for flashtools please do so.
My baseband is 1.0.14 and build is R1FA014
So when I flash a rom that works ie 1.6 it shows TA valeus in the flash tools log, but when I flash a rom that wont boot up there are no TA values. Any one have any advice?
Also Ive downloaded 3 different branded 2.1 roms and they all work but.... when my cell boots up and I go into settings and about.. it still says 1.6 ??? WTF!!!

I have to say that is pretty weird and i have never in my life come across it, ok give this a go. Flash a 2.1 Rom make sure that the particular rom can be upgraded to 2.3.3 thru seus or pc companion, id give u a link buh where i usually wud get that from is arkedk post in android development and theyve been deleted. so flash the 2.1 rom, then upgrade to official 2.3.3 using seus or pc companion. see how it goes, dnt know wot else to recommend really.
tried that, and even updated from 1.6 to 2.1 via pc companion and still nothing.
I HATE this phone!!!! thank god for my HD2
something somewhere in the process of wot u have been doing has gone wrong or there is a hard fault somewhere. sorry to hear uve had such a bad xperince with this phone, if uve got warranty send it off, thats all i can think of, or sell it on ebay. sorry i cudnt help u further, best of luck mate.

Unfortunately all official SE 2.3.3 fitmwares are in ftf format,if u want to flash a 2.3.3 rom via xrecovery than u need 71 baseband. Go to android development, I recommend erickwills or wolfbreaks rom,its upto u which u choose,hope u find a solution

Yesterday, I tried to root my phone in order to install Cyanogenmod 7.1 in my neo. I followed this guide, all went good except when I started to install the new OTA update, when the phone was installing it, I think it crashed and now I can't even turn on.
When I try to turn on the phone a green led lights for a little moment, and sometimes I get the vibration of turning on, but nothing happens before.
I tried to reflash the phone with several firmwares (all from neo) , but none of them work.
Please help me
Thanks.
Update: I have unbricked my neo just by following this guide. Problem solved
I think you have unlocked bootloader and do OTA, right?
Never, never, never do OTA after unlocked bootloader, it will brick your phone.
You can try this,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
And I will remind you that if you recover your phone, it seems that you do OTA mean you got 2.3.4. never, never flash back to "2.3.3 with rooted" coz it will result in 0% battery problem (I am now in that stat).
Good luck!
Well I think I haven't unlocked the bootloader but I dont' know.
Thank you!

Just one note, unrelated to your current problem, eventually when you flash it with 2.3.4(as I'm not sure what are you waiting, or why you flashed it with 2.3.2, but it's your phone), don't ever flash 2.3.2. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312398

Should i do this after updating to 2.3 using pc companion or before updating?
If i update through pc companion then should i flash again with the bundle that wolfbreak gave (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192988)?
Well if you have confirmed if your phone has the requirements for bootloader unlocking (please check it for confirmation as you don't want your phone to be bricked), then you're good to go. use the first link, because it's very very VERY easy compared to the second one. ^^
One thing though.. some users have tried to unlock their bootloader and have been successful, but their radio signals becomes dropped and unavailable.. i don't know what happened to them but the only way to restore the radio signal is to re-unlock their sims. But I don't think that will happen to you as you take very extreme precautions. good luck!

3.Then flash to wolfbreak's gingerbread firmware
4.i DONT have to flash the ftf bundle tht wolf provided because i would be on the 2.3 kernel coz i did official update.

after setp 1 and b4 step 2 u need to "root" your phone. use doomlord's zergrush method, or azuzu downgrade+upgrade method.
secondly, flash doomlord v6 kernel "BEFORE" flashing wolf's rom. (it's better that way)
lastly. use "full-oc" kernel first. it you get booting problems then try "semi-oc"
is it ok if i go for semi oc coz my i want my battery to last long ?
I use his failsafe kernel and earlier 6AM i charged my battery full, now at 4:30PM i got 84%. so 16% of battery were used at 10 hours. how's that?

Well, have you unlocked your bootloader now?
Hello everyone,
I have joined here hoping to get some advice, so i will be as complete with my situation as i can.
So, i rooted my phone, installed busybox, root explorer and CWM. No problems so far.
Read up on rom installations and attempted my first one. Cannot remember the rom at the moment but followed instructions as in "back up", wipe cache etc....
Now the phone is in bootloop, whereby it switches on, goes to sony erricson screen, blue light flashes and then goes blank. I cannot enter CWM, i cannot switch off until i remove battery.
I have tried both pc companion repair and seus repair but both say no software for phone(pc companion) and newest software installed(seus).
I have tried booting into safe mode the old fashioned way, but no go and finally....i have shouted obscenities at my phone but that doesn't work either.:silly:
any suggestions, or should i assume that it is bricked and send off for repair if possible?
Thank you.
Hey bro have you locked or unlocked bootloader?
Flash stock .587 firm with flashtool.
Some roms are only for locked or unlocked bootloader. You need to see that before install a rom. And remember. Not all the roms are stable.
