Hello dear xda users.
Today since 1-2 hours ago something terrible happened. My X10i .. keeps rebooting at the "Sony Ericsson" startup.
History:
I updated to 2.2 Beta 4, but I forgot to update the kernel so the phone kept rebooting, but not at startup, only after a couple of minutes.
I flashed to the required kernel, but decided to go back to Beta 3 instead, and the same problem occured here too, also that the wifi and mobile network were out of function.
And I remembered that I had made an backup of my original version with xRecovery, so I restored the phone and tried to switch back to Beta 3 and this is when the **** happened..
Am I screwed?
Stuffs Ive tried:
* Flash the version back (cannot enter flash mode anymore) = fail
* Tried to make a factory reset through PC Companion (cannot enter flash mode) = fail
I need help guys, this phone is only 2 weeks old. I just want to cry, dunno what to do
Bump! No one?
Also tried to pull out battery while the phone connected with usb, pressing back key and inserting key.
I have a thought, maybe its that my phone isnt being recognized by the computer due to problem with USB drivers. Does any1 know how I can manually install it?

Please flash ypur phone with SEUS or PCC or even better with THIS tool.
If you need help with flashtool go HERE
On Flashtool thread download you FW (X10i Generic)
Using Flashtool you were able (after flash) to root, install latest xRecovery, etc.
Hope it helps

well i have a very big problem here.
i got 3 weeks ago an xperia S white.
i updated and rooted my device, was on 2.3.4 now 4.0.4 bootloader locked and rooted.. Yeah!!!!
everything was cool and excellent.
but here comes my stupid nephew and i dont know what he did.. but the device wont turn on and wont charge the battery .
i was thinking ok ok ok, with flashtool and everything cool...
but heres the problem, the device wont start in flashmode
i set flashtool and all, but when you need to plug the device pressing the vol - the flashtool wont recognize the device, so it does nothing...
i have charged the device for almost 6 hrs and nothing,
turn on with Vol +.... nothing as well....
so, i think its bricked but how??
so heres my question is there any way to "unbrick" this device???
thanks for any answer.

I had the same Problem, after a Kernel flash.
Xperia S seems to be dead, Power + Vol. UP didnt worked, it just vibrated once.
But now its working again. What i did:
Connected it via USB, hold the Power + Vol. UP button until it vibrated 3 times and than released the Power button but kept the Vol. UP Pressed.
Now it should be in Fastboot mode again.
Hope it will work for you. :fingers-crossed:
volume + and volume -

Try pressing both vol+ and vol- while holding the power button for about 10 seconds, you should get 1st one vibration and then 3 vibrations. worked for me when I thought I had bricked my S.

You could still get into flashmode as well.
And you don't need to have the bootloader unlocked for fastboot,but you can't flash stuff like other kernels than stock.
But if you are able to get into fastboot,you know that it is not dead.
Try charging it over night and then try getting it into flashmode by pressing vol down while plugging the USB in,it worked for me when I flashed MIUI without a kernel.
You can try using Sony update service, or just go to pc companion. In the update section you can click on repair. The phone doesn't need to be in any mode, it will say it automatically if it recognizes your phone. Which is naturally good news. Gl. I thought I bricked my phone a month ago. Those phones are unbrickable!!!

By reading all the comments i think that Your battery is dead(and its not replaceable either).What was the battery % when you gave him the phone?Whatever happened...it is not allowing battery to charge.Removing battery means breaking warranty.So i would suggest you to go to the sony shop,as a last resort!
Dont tell them anything about what happened,just say battery ran out and now its not starting.
See this(non-removable battery) is a big reason unbrickable phones also brick.

To use the "repair" option you need to have your phone turned on with minimum 50% battery!!!
nrcheq much
hey broo...i had the same problem....the battery drain was sooo crazy...so i started to flash the doom kernel v4a and then the XHS v3 rom..nothing wrong...started fine ...but the problem was ...no wifi...get an error while starting the wifi service...i downloaded the hotfix from doomlord...and installed it via recovery mode...so i got a boootloop...while boot looping several times ..battery ran out...same problem...lucky cuz i have a warranty..went to the shop and he told me he charged the battery external...and replaced it back and started fine....BTW i started the same topic and someone deleted it..so my advice for you...your phone is not broken...its just empty...charged it external ..and i hope it will work with you.
if it works...let me know.
i also got my phone rooted without unlocking bl ,installed cwm recovery and found out that battery cannot be charged when the phone is turned off..someone told me that version of recovery replaced the stock power-off charging program..
so i think your phone is just out of energy.

It worked for my Xperia P today too, brilliant, thank you. I was really flapping because I go on vacation tomorrow and a lot of my ticket information is in the phone.
I was only restoring my contacts from PC after an update when mine died.

My Xperia P died WHEN I was using PC companion!
PC Companion won't recognise your phone in any event if the phone isn't switched on. The program is garbage anyway, I have tried it on two different laptops (including a Sony Vaio) and when trying to restore stuff back to the phone it hangs all the time.
you can use emma flashtool by sony to flash stock firmware but you must get into fastboot mod charge your phone gt emma ready then plug in your phone with vol - hold and then flashwith emma flashtool
Lesson learnt: don't let anyone except you to use your phone especially when its rooted

Hello!
I read for hours now, bot no luck
I flashed my x10a with flashtool with generic rom.
After flash, as the flashtool says, just turned off and on the phone.
But nothing happened(green led blink one and do a sort vibration, thats all..)
no logo, no sound nothing happens.
I tried to reflash again, but windows says: Cannot recognize the device
In the control panel device manager show "unknown device".
Because of this , cannot reflash with the tool, because it's waiting for the recognized device too..
when i press the back and connect the cable, the green lighting for a minute , and turns of..
Yes, i have the correct drivers(as you can see i flashed before).
Help me guyz, please, if U can
Does it go into flashmode?
Did you try flashing it regardless of unknown device in windows?
Sent from my X10
Try flashing back to stock non root. It may suck but at least you'll have a starting point. It'll read. Ust make sure you have newest flashtool. Just had the same problem with my x10. Its still havin troubles tho.

Try removing battery, insert usb cable, insert battery while holding back button. I spent 8 hours last night just trying to get back to stock. Your phone is semi bricked. Its a pain in the ass but it eventually works.

Hey go back to stock 1st then try rooting later,
1) launch pc companion
2) select support zone
3) now select phone software update
4) then click on repair phone
Now software will download the stock ROM along with stock kernel..
When the software asks you to connect in flash mode, do the following
1) turn off the phone
2) Remove battery
3) Connect the USB cable to phone as well as to the laptop
4) Place the battery back while holding down the back button (3rd button from the left)
5) Green light should glow and the stock ROM and kernel should be flashed automatically..
When it's done you should have a stock unrooted X10, if you want then flash custom Rom after rooting it, be sure to unlock the boot loader if u want to flash custom kernel... Good luck

what do you mean by flashtool cant be done?
try this:
1) open flashtool
2) press the flash button and select any stock ftf firmware
3) now after pop up comes to connect phone in flashmode---- remove battery, connect the phone via usb, and lastly pressing back button insert battery simultaneously.
Now the flashing should start hopefully.
if this doesnt work please post the error you get in flashtool
i have the same problem with my phone only mine is x10i i reflashed 2.3.3. ftf ..like 7..8 times ..and still not working..btw smth the flashtool give me some error ..and other times works and says that the phone was flashed ..but phone still only 1 virbate and 1 blink green light now i am kinda bumped because i repair it once ...and now has the same problem
hello all!
thanks for all help.
What happened:
Hopefully i found the USB port have error. If is stand in half leg, not breathing for a minute and beg for christmas the connection made successfully, and first the SEUS , after the flashtool can recognize the phone well.
Now the phone working perfectly and going to my friend's service for fix the usb port problem.
hello. i have here a x10i that i havent use for about an year. i have installed several roms in it so i know how to enter flashmode. i think i might have formated through xrecovery something i wanst suposed too. has i have not used this phone for an year i think i made some mistake. now the phone wont boot in flashmode. the pc doesnt recognize any device connect, tried with pc and laptop with all drivers installed, it just lights up the green light for about a minute and then it shows the SE logo and stays there.
tried safe mode and nothing, SEUS and nothing..
any tip?
thanks
i read somewhere about a tool called XIOFUB that might help but i cant find it anywhere
Do you have USB debugging enabled?

i dont know. i forgot to say the phone also doesnt boot normally so i cant check that...the only thing the phone does is showing SE bootscreen. it doesnt boot and also doesnt enter flashmode and also cant get into xrecovery
You can return back to stock by flashing stock ftf file. Only connect in flashmode when the flashtool prompts you to.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium... Xperia Arc's microUSB port is broken.

You soft bricked the rom by formatting /system
(formatting system also removes recovery because it's existing in rom & not in stock kernel)
You can fix by Seus or flashtools, just incase to hold "back" button during flash progress ...
If still not working make sure USB port is ok

So i was trying to get my Z2 on Cyanogenmod and I attempted to update TWRP to the latest version. After flashing the file and attempting to reboot, the phone has been unresponsive. Holding down the power button makes a vibration but nothing happens. Holding down the power and volume down makes it vibrate three time but still nothing, same with the red reset button. Can't get it into recovery to factory restore it either. Connecting it to my laptop it is recognized by the PC companion but cant do anything with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Flashtool doesnt work either.
Try to put your phone in to the Fastboot mode. Instal Xperia z2 driver, if You have a x64 bit Windows version you must turn off Driver Signing in Windows before you install a drivers for the phone. Then try to flash a stock rom with Flashtool. Sorry for My ENGLISH.
Ok I was able to flash stock android firmware with the Sony flashtool. I don't know why it wasnt working before.
