Hi there!
Do you have flashed GB Kernel fitting your GB Rom of the Backup you have restored?? You need the fitting kernel.
Download Fastboot oder Flashtool, get the kernel img an flash it to your phone.
Bye an good luck!

What ROM do you have installed then currently?
Install the proper kernel also according to this.
Full stock .ftf firmware files should also include kernel.

yea the firmware's iv been flashing have the kernel in them. I think i damaged the bootloader coz al the flashing was succesfull but the ray just wunt boot into android so damaged bootloader. Anyway i gave up and its in for repair lol.

[Q] Can We Flash ROMs n Kernel With flash Tools.

My phone is stuck at SE logo.. Xrecovery is also not working.. SEUS also not working. Can rom be flashed vai flash tools . Actually i installed wrong kernel on my rom n the phone became unresponsive.. Please can anyone help. Cant get my phone working.
same here... please can some one help us in installing kernal or roms through flash tools?
if it's stuck at se logo then Seus should work...
flash stock firmware with flashtools and start all over.
Yes, you can
Hi.
I went through something similar, if not the same.
My rom got corrupted with the new kernel, I lost xrecovery and SEUS asks for the SD card to be mounted, which cannot be because ROM did not see it after kernel update.
before reading further, you need to have your phone rooted, you can do it via xrecovery, easily found in this forum.
what did I do to solve it?
***EDITED****
I installed a generic ROM via flashtool, you do not have to boot the phone to do it, the bad thing is that everything will be wiped from phone (not from SD though)
you can find generic X10 stock roms in this forum.
After that, you will be good to go.
hope this helps.

FIXED [Q] How to Restore Bricked x10

I was trying to install this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295089
but I couldn't flash the ftf file, so I thought maybe I need to unlock the bootloader, so I tried to do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17375576&postcount=1
but couldn't do anything after step 1, which was flashing the downgrade kernel or something,
now flashtool doesn't recognize my phone and it's stuck at the SE logo screen,
I tried to flash the kernel via zip file (from Wolf's rom) and then flash Wolf's rom and wiping data and dalvik cache via xrecovery, but it's still bricked ... How can I get it to turn on again? Any help is greatly appreciated!
EDIT/SOLVED: OK so I rested for 3 minutes (I'm a very impatient man) was able to use the cmd file to unlock the bootloader from another computer, then I succesfully booted into flash mode by holding the back key and flashed the upgrade kernel from the unlock bootloader thread, from then, I followed the instructions on the MIUI rom (first link) my X10 is properly working now, so my best advice is to remain patient and don't try and change roms this late at night, especially if you have to work the next morning... I'm so sorry to have made this thread and fixed it myself so soon... but if I can help anyone with the same problem please ask!

[Q] Possible Brick?

I just rooted my neo v the root was successful and i was able to put CWM on it however i flashed the miui rom without realising that i need to unlock the bootloader to now the phone is stuck at the sony Ericson loho screen and wont let me into CWM to restore the backup i made of the stock rom
Reflash original firm via flashtool or wotanserver.
like Elessar76 says.

need help with this situation

ok so when i was trying out a custom GB Rom which requires flashing of stock GB,i forgot to flash the stock and flashed the custom GB straight from my ICS 4.0.4. it got bricked and i used the sony update service[not pc companion,in case you don't know] to fix the brick and it returned to stock ICS 4.0.4 . After that,i have forgotten that stock ICS does not have root access. so i went to flash other custom ICS ROM straight away cause i'm used to flashing different custom ROM and now it stuck at CWM. Now it has been officially bricked,the only thing i can access is CWM. what can i do now?? i've tried sony update service and it says i have the latest stuff and i also can't flash any rom since i have no root access and i also can't flash stock ftf file since usb debugging and stuffs are required to flash stock. so what can i do now??
thanks in advance
PS: I've tried using the file called Unbricking xperia 2011 as well,doesn't work
Edit: got it back,i flashed 2.3.4 ftf. i guess the previous ftf i flashed was corrupted
flash a 4.0.4 FTF file using flashtool

[Q] X10i stuck on boot screen after Fera Custom ROM v36 installed !!!

Hello experts , I did a first attempt at installing a custom ROM (Ferra Jelly Bean v 36 for Xperia X10i) and everything went smooth, (my device was rooted and bootloader unlocked and CWM v5 installed) but for the first boot, only SONY ERICSSON appears and just stays that way with the SONY ERICSSON name.
Is it all dead or do I have some hope of reviving it? if yes then can you please help me?

Use SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) to re-flash your original Sony Ericsson ROM.
Download the FeraLab ROM GB v36 zip file to your phone.
Flash FeraLab Kernel v18.4 using Flashtool
Restart your phone.
Enter CWM recovery at the blue light/pink light and install FeraLab GB v36 ROM.
Reboot.
If it doesn't boot up completely and hangs during first start-up , re-flash Feralab Kernel v18.4 and then reboot again.
I'm having the same problem, X10i is stuck on the SE boot screen. This happened directly after I flashed the Feralab v36 rom, however, I couldn't flash the latest kernel beforehand, because flash tool failed to do it. I have xRecovery installed, but I cannot access it. Not only that but it does not seem to want to go into flash mode, have tried using flash tool to flash stock rom, I have tried using SEUS, and PC Companion. Nothing has worked so far.

As @doodownunda has mentioned, if you have access to Flashtool (Not sure why you don't have access to SEUS/PCC then) you can flash Tof37 X10S v9 ROM as the whole thing including kernel is a Flashtool flashable image. It's an all in one Kernel/ROM.
xRecovery is old school and comes with older Kernels, but CWM recovery is the main now.
Volume up button to access CWM recovery at the first flashing light on booting if needed at a later stage.
Seem you didn't flash the right kernel..
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
You need to reflash 2.3.3 generic firmwares a:laugh:nd try install the rom again..:laugh:
